Before Xia Zoe left, Blarley, the leader of the Kady tribe, brought Samuel over to say goodbye to him. They were going to return to Kady. Of course, they also took Samuel's father, Marquis Galli, away.
Blarley: "Lord, thank you again for taking care of the Kadi tribe..."
He said a lot, roughly meaning that if the Territory of Desinia needs help in the future, the Kadi tribe must be defined, and finally, the topic turned to the black panther.
"Aphra seems to get along well with Brown Sugar, so I will leave Aphra with the lord, hoping that it will give birth to a cute leopard baby with Brown Sugar."
Xia Zoe nodded and thanked Bradley.
He looked at Samuel again, and this was the first time the two met since Samuel followed Blarley here.
Since Samuel is willing to follow Blarley back to the Kadi tribe, it also means that she is not completely indifferent to Blarley.
As long as Blarley works harder, the final result of the two will definitely end well.
He said: "Bless you in advance, if there is a wedding, please notify me and let me send you a wedding gift."
This is probably the best ending that is different from the original book.
The atmosphere between Samuel and Blarley is harmonious, and they seem to be a lot closer.
After she smiled and said thank you to Xia Zuoyi's blessing, she stood quietly beside Blarley, and no longer put her eyes on Xia Zuoyi as persistently as before.
When the two left, Xia Zuoyi went to see them off in person.
After that, he was also ready to set off, first going to Anas Kingdom to meet Queen Minina, and then returning to Mount Parr.
Before that, Orville said goodbye to Shazoe and returned to the territory of Akiyayoli.
Before leaving, he said, "If Brown Sugar has a child, please let me know."
Xia Zoe: "... um."
…
What Xia Zoe and Queen Minina personally discussed was to build a water storage dam that could withstand drought in the upper Volley River.
This is a small water storage project.
The pond is built on the mountain, with the help of certain natural conditions.
Moreover, man-made ponds have two functions: bridges in dry seasons and embankments in flood seasons.
Once the ponds and dams are completed, they can be used to store water in times of drought, attracting water to irrigate the surrounding fields and crops.
Second, it is convenient for people to walk back and forth on the dam.
The reason why Xia Zuoyi had to discuss with Queen Minina was because the upper reaches of the Volri River was in the Anas Kingdom, and the right to use it was not with him.
But he did not want to cede the construction of the impoundment dam to the kingdom of Anas.
Xia Zoe hopes to control it in his own hands - after all, part of the territory of Desinia is in the lower reaches of the Volri River.
The role of storage ponds and dams is not temporary, but will continue into the future, and the surrounding area will benefit endlessly.
The value of dealing with drought in the future alone has already demonstrated its value.
However, it is a little difficult for Xia Zoe to have control of the pond, because he can't build projects at will in the Anas Kingdom beyond Queen Minina.
Unless, the territorial scope of this upper Volley River location belongs to the Territory of Desinia.
Xia Zoe decided to exchange territory for territory, but she didn't know what Queen Minina wanted.
Therefore, he will personally come to Anas Kingdom to discuss with him.
…
When he finally came to the Kingdom of Anas and told this matter, Queen Minina expressed surprise and hesitation.
She hesitated to answer.
However, Minina did not reject Xia Zuoyi's proposal at the first time, but hoped to give her some time to think.
During this period, Xia Zoe and others can temporarily live in Archibald's residence.
Fortunately, Minina gave a positive answer soon after.
She agreed to exchange part of the territory.
This is not only because Xia Zoe once gave her a precious gift to regain her confidence at the banquet, but also indirectly helped her and Archie to overthrow the king.
It is also because the Territory of Desinia is now the largest territorial place in the entire Western Continent.
The power and status that Xia Zuoyi possesses is enough for him to decide anything easily.
Even if she doesn't agree.
As long as Xia Zoe does not give up his ownership of the upper Volli River, in the end, he will always achieve what he wants in other ways.
And this "other way" is not necessarily something Minina can afford...
Before Xia Zoe left the kingdom of Anas, Archibald found him and wanted to talk alone.
It's in a garden full of greenery.
Xia Zoe agreed.
"Are you already with the Pope?" Archibald asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the atmosphere between the two had obviously changed.
"Yes." Xia Zuoyi nodded and admitted.
Archibald seemed to just want to get a definite answer. After hearing Xia Zoe's answer, he exhaled and leaned on the pillar in the courtyard, looking a little distracted.
After a while, he said, "I should bless you, little Zooey, but I don't want to say it."
Archibald paused and smiled bitterly: "I still feel bad when I hear this now... Give me some more time."
"I'll let it go slowly..."
Xia Zuoyi didn't speak, and gave him a comforting pat.
Archibald smiled suddenly: "I don't want to embarrass you or make you sad. If the Pope treats you badly, you must remember me."
"Thank you, Archie."
These words can only come here, and the two stopped talking immediately and began to talk about other things.
In the end, we had a good chat, and Xia Zuoyi didn't leave until the sun slanted west.
Dinner is served in the room, in fact, breakfast and lunch are the same. After all, on the first day of living here in Archibald, the atmosphere between His Holiness the Pope and His Royal Highness at the dining table was... very embarrassing and depressing.
After that, Xia Zuoyi decided that it would be better to dine in each room.
Before he returned to the room, he saw Judit standing at the door and couldn't help asking what was wrong.
Judit said: "Lord, His Majesty the Pope is inside, saying that he wants to dine with you, look..."
Dinner is already prepared in the room.
Xia Zuoyi understood: "I see, you go down first, Judit."
"Yes, lord." Judit heard the words and left immediately.
Xia Zuoyi pushed open the door and went in, and saw His Holiness the Pope waving at him with a smile: "After chatting with Cavendish for so long, the food is about to get cold."
"hungry?"
Xia Zuoyi selectively skipped his previous sentence, touched his stomach and nodded: "I'm hungry."
"Come and eat."
When Xia Zuoyi walked over, he was a little hesitant in his steps. He always felt that the Pope seemed to...
He coughed dryly: "Archie sees that between me and you... He just wanted to talk to me before I left, and had no other intentions."
"I've been chatting with Archie for a long time, and I didn't pay attention to the time. Your Majesty... Do you mind?"
Neither look happy.
Segalot smiled gently: "How come, you think too much, eat first, aren't you hungry?"
"I really don't mind, and I'm not unhappy?"
Xia Zuoyi had already walked in front of Segalot at this time, and just wanted to sit down, but was caught off guard by his arm and fell into his arms, sitting on the lap of the Pope at once.
Segalot leaned over and kissed the other's tender lips, entangling the tip of his tongue...
After that, he said in a hoarse and low voice, "I don't mind, I'm not happy, would you like to coax little Zooey to coax me?"
Xia Zuoyi breathed slightly: "Isn't this coaxing?"
"No, it's my initiative." Segalot tapped his pink cheeks and smiled.
Xia Zuoyi earned it, sat up from the Pope's arms, and kissed the other party's forehead perfunctorily: "Well, coax, let me go, and want to eat."
Segalot shook his head helplessly, then let go of him.
Don't let your baby go hungry.
Dinner was hearty and accompanied by red wine.
Xia Zuoyi didn't like the sweet soup made today. After eating the main food, he poured a glass of red wine to quench his thirst.
After drinking, he licked his lips, and said boldly, "I feel like my drinking is much better."
Although it is not enough to drink wine as water, it is no longer to the point of getting drunk after drinking a little.
Segalot said meaningfully: "Really."
"Of course." Xia Zuoyi confirmed, then put down the wine glass that had been drunk.
Segalette poured a little more glycolic wine.
His slender fingers pinch the base of the slender wine glass and shake it gently. The beautiful color of the wine and the warm light reflect each other, which seems to be mixed with a halo, which makes the white hand look even more beautiful.
Xia Zuoyi stared at him involuntarily.
The hand then slowly brought the glass to him.
Xia Zoey looked puzzled.
Segalot chuckled and said, "I'll feed you."
Saying that, the rim of the wine glass was close to Xia Zuoyi's lips, and the intoxicating aroma of wine instantly filled his nose.
Xia Zuoyi opened his mouth and drank it.
"Well."
The last bit of bright red wine overflowed and slipped down Charzoi's mouth... Segalot leaned over deeply with his eyes...
After an unknown amount of time, Segalot pecked lightly and reluctantly left, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you drunk?"
Xia Zoe snorted softly, looking confused like a cat smelling catnip.
He chased after Segalot, nibbled his lips a few times, and then stuck to the tip of his tongue like he did before...
Appears to be drunk.
Segalot's body froze, his heart began to beat rapidly, and his whole body seemed to be shaking violently. At the same time, a heat that could not be ignored rose from his chest...
He loved Xia Zoey's bold and undisguised behavior.
This allows him to truly feel that the other party has the same feelings and the same fiery love as him.
After the long and lingering kiss ended, Segalot heard the man in his arms ask softly, "Are you drunk?"
He didn't drink, but he was also drunk.
Segalot whispered in his ear: "Of course."
After he finished speaking, he picked up Xia Zuoyi and walked towards the big bed...
The next day, Segalot sighed, but still hadn't eaten his mouth.
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Shy, go home and then...
Pope: What
Xia Xia: Hey hey hey.
Pope: I think, I understand.
