The body of Lord Guye was cremated in the arena and his ashes were scattered in the arena. Many civilians and soldiers from Ash City came to attend the funeral. To the enemies of Lord Guye, he was an unscrupulous, cruel and hateful person, but here he was a respectable person. He even gained the respect of Xia Lei, who hated the Night Watchmen.
The day after the funeral, Xia Lei took Nightingale back to the blood crystal mine in the northwest district. On the same day, Suspension City's engineer robots and robot loading trucks entered the mine and began mining blood crystal ore.
Engineer robots do not get tired, so they do not need to rest and are not afraid of danger. They can go to any environment. Their work efficiency cannot be compared with that of human beings. According to Xia Lei's plan, this blood crystal mine with astonishing reserves will be fully mined in less than a month.
According to the cooperative mining agreement, according to the quality and weight of the mined blood crystal ore, half belongs to the Floating City and half belongs to the Ash City. It would be easy for Xia Lei to do something to keep more blood crystal ore, but he didn't bother to do so.
A robot loading truck drove towards the gate of the lower city of the floating city, and the brothers Senpo and Qingteng escorted it with werewolves. When passing by Xia Lei, Senpo and Qingteng waved to Xia Lei and said hello.
"That woman's skin is so good." Qingteng said.
"Haha, sister, I think Dragon King's skin is better. Do you want Dragon King to show it to you?" Senpo joked with his sister.
Qing Teng's hands clicked, and six alloy wolf claws emerged. With a wave of her hand, a rock on the roadside split into three pieces.
Senpo sighed, "You won't be able to get married like this."
Qingteng picked up a stone and threw it at Senpo.
The werewolf warriors laughed.
"Are they all from the Ghost Kingdom?" Nightingale asked casually.
"Well, they are all people from the past, from different time and space, different worlds." Xia Lei said.
"What about you? You are not from this world, are you?" After a pause, Nightingale added, "Are you also from the past?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Do you think I look like someone from the past?"
Nightingale was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "It's not like that, but..."
Xia Lei said: "I come from another world, but I am not a person from the past. The ghost country is a country formed by those poor people from the past. I provide them with protection, and I am also thinking of ways to extend their lifespan. They are not You know they are people from the past, so don’t mention the word “people from the past” in front of them, okay?”
Nightingale smiled slightly, "You are a decisive and fierce person, but you are a kind person at heart. In this world, people in the past are just slaves and food for some powerful beings, and no one will pity them. But you Take them in and protect them without asking for anything in return. Only now do I understand why Lord Guye is so relieved to cooperate with you. You and Lord Guye are both upright and respectable people."
"Don't praise me, I'll be proud." Xia Lei smiled. Seeing Nightingale's charming smile, he couldn't help but think of the "wife" that the Lord of Guye City had given him before his death. However, he did not mention it in the end. He would keep Lord Guye's entrustment as a secret in his heart.
He had to keep Lord Guye's entrustment as a secret in his heart, because Lord Guye's entrustment was tantamount to asking him to take over the role of Lord Guye's husband to take care of and protect Nightingale, and assist her in developing Ash City. For him, it is okay to care and protect, and it is okay to help the development of Ash City, but the role of husband is exempted. If he marries another wife, he will really become a wife-crazy maniac.
"That..." Nightingale hesitated.
"What do you want to say?"
"I heard from the good man that you have two wives, right?" said Nightingale.
Xia Lei said: "Yes, there are actually three of them, one is a married wife, one is an unmarried wife who will be married tomorrow, and one is in a relationship and will be married soon. Oh, by the way, come and participate tomorrow. My wedding, then you can meet my wives."
Nightingale nodded cheerfully, "I'll have someone prepare a generous gift and send it over."
"You're welcome. We are now friends and even allies. There is no need to be so polite." Xia Lei said.
"How could your wedding be without congratulatory gifts? You're too polite."
"Okay, okay, you can give it away if you want, I'll just keep it." Xia Lei changed the subject, "Are there many people from the past in this world? But I haven't seen many."
"This is the borderland of the West. Of course, there are not many people from the past. If you go to the central area of the empire and the imperial capital of Doomsday City, you will see many people from the past. The construction of the Black Sun Empire and the expansion of its territory are all far away. People from the past are not allowed to be sold. In those big places, there are slave markets that specialize in selling people from the past, and there are tens of thousands of people from the past at random," Nightingale said.
"Where did those people from the past come from?" Xia Lei asked.
Nightingale thought for a moment before saying: "This is a secret kept secret by slave traders, but I once heard the Lord of Guye City talk about it. He said that there is a huge whirlpool underground in Doomsday City, and those people in the past came from that whirlpool. But he had never seen it with his own eyes. He only heard it from a slave trader who drank with him and got drunk. It is said that the royal family of the Black Sun Empire controls this business. Anyone who wants to destroy this business will Being hunted, without exception.”
"When this mine is finished, I want to visit Doomsday City." Xia Lei said.
"Are you going to Doomsday City?" Nightingale was surprised and surprised.
Xia Lei nodded, "I have my own things to deal with, but don't worry, my floating city flies very fast, even if it comes from Doomsday City, it won't take long. I will give you one Communicator, no matter what you encounter and need my help, I will rush back."
Nightingale's eyes were full of loss, and she fell silent.
After saying goodbye to Nightingale, Xia Lei returned to the lower city of Suspension City and found Caoji and Qingpi who had already settled down.
"Meet His Majesty the Dragon King." Knowing Xia Lei's identity as the leader of the Ghost Kingdom, Caoji and Qingpi became more respectful to Xia Lei. The two snake-patterned people also realized that this time they really encountered and seized an opportunity that could change their lives.
"Qingpi stays. I need you to make a plan for exploring Doomsday City. My goal is to enter the royal family's ancestral temple." Xia Lei said.
Qingpi said: "This is very difficult, but I can handle it."
"Very good, work well for me and I will give you a fortune." Xia Lei said.
Qingpi and Caoji said in unison: "Thank you, His Majesty the Dragon King."
Xia Lei added: "Grass Festival, I will take you to Lava City now. When you get to Lava City, you will take me to the place where I met the night watchman farmer."
Caoji said: "Your Majesty the Dragon King, are you going to find him?"
Xia Lei said: "No matter what, I want to try my luck."
Caoji thought about it for a moment and then said: "The place where I met the old farmer was in a village near Lava City. From that village, you can overlook the walls of Lava City. Although the old farmer did not say where he was from, But I guess he is from that village." After a pause, he added, "Your Majesty the Dragon King, I can leave at any time."
Xia Lei said: "Then let's set off now."
"Now?" Caoji looked surprised, "Your Majesty the Dragon King, I heard that you are holding a wedding tomorrow. We can't make it back if we go to Lava City now."
Xia Lei suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Ji's belt, then flew into the sky, directly breaking through the energy barrier of the floating city, and then disappeared into the sky.
In the secret garden of the Palace of the God of War.
"Sister, I seem to have seen my husband!" Xiao Qiao, who was picking flowers, looked very excited, "He seems to have flown out with someone in his arms!"
Da Qiao raised his head and glanced at the sky, but saw nothing. She lowered her head to pick flowers again, and the basket in her hand was already filled with flowers. These flowers were prepared for tomorrow's wedding. She wanted to dress him beautifully, and she also wanted to dress her and Xia Lei's wedding room beautifully with flowers.
"Sister, didn't you hear what I was saying?" Xiao Qiao raised the corner of her mouth.
Da Qiao was busy picking flowers and didn't even look at Xiao Qiao. He just said calmly: "I heard him, he flew away with someone in his arms, but so what, he is a man, and a god-like man. He has big things to do, so we just have to do our duty as women."
"Hey, you are so weak. How can you fight with those women if your husband marries you again?"
"I won't fight. The three obediences and the four virtues are our duty. You don't want to fight either."
"You, you, don't tell me, my husband will definitely marry Miss Diao Chan, aren't you worried at all?"
"Is it useful to worry? Those ordinary people can still have three wives and four concubines. What's wrong with marrying a fairy man like Long? It's you, don't be jealous, otherwise people outside will say that you are bossy and jealous. That's not the case. What a good reputation.”
Xiao Qiao, "..."
"What are you doing standing there? Picking flowers!" Da Qiao urged.
Xiao Qiao suddenly remembered something, and moved to Da Qiao's side. Then he showed a coy look and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's up?"
"You will get married to your husband tomorrow. From now on, he will spend one day with me and one day with you. Do you want a single day or a double day?" Xiao Qiao said.
"You can have odd or even numbers as you like. I won't compete with you. You can take advantage of them as you like." Da Qiao said, quite a bit like an older sister.
"Oh, what I mean is... it's so troublesome to be single and even. If my husband goes to my place, you will be lonely, and if he goes to your place, I will be lonely. Plus, he has many things to do. How many days in a month can he be with us? Otherwise, let's just stop being single. Forget it on your wedding day. After the wedding, we sisters will live together, whether it is odd days or even days. How about we serve our husband together as soon as he comes? ?”
Da Qiao's face suddenly turned red, "Bah, bah, bah, oh, how could you say such a thing? You're so embarrassed. If your parents were here, they would definitely beat you to death."
Xiao Qiao said angrily: "Huh! Yu Mutou, if you are so unmotivated, you will definitely not be able to compete with that woman Diao Chan in the future!"
This is the palace fight in the Palace of the God of War.
Xia Lei did not hear the secret conversation between his two beloved wives. Just as the two beloved wives returned from picking flowers, he also came to the sky above the village carrying a grass offering.
