Fiordland seas, sleeping islands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time the last house was raised, the skyline had gone dark. Although the sunset could not be seen, the afterglow through the clouds still left a golden glow on the sea. If it weren't for the cold winds blowing in front of you, the scene would not look much different from autumn.

"Alright, that's it. Lian lifted the scarf around her neck so that her ears could be wrapped in soft cotton wool, "Then you just need to move in the furniture and bed." ”

"Masterpiece!" said Durath Kingbeard, clapping his hands, "so many houses were built in only half a month, and I thought that Mistress Tilly was just exaggerating at first. ”

"Mistress Tilly never lies. Kazukaze interjected.

"Yes, yes," he said, touching his thick chin, "so that I can relocate the people with confidence." Huh? What is it?"

The merchant from Moonmoon Bay groped curiously for the recessed low wall of the room, and bent down to poke his head inside to look back and forth.

"This is what I learned in the West to keep warm, it's called a fire kang. "It's connected to the stove, and if there's a fire there, it's going to be very warm in the pit." When the time comes, a layer of wood is laid on top of it, and linen cloth or wheat straw is laid on it, whether it is used as a bench or as a bed, it is much more comfortable than ordinary furniture - especially in winter. ”

"Interesting design," Durath looked at Lian, "How many golden dragons will be needed if I hire you for a long time?"

"Uh...... What do you mean?" Lian was slightly stunned.

"When I went to work in Quarter Moon Bay, there are still a few undeveloped barren beaches in my territory, and your ability is an excellent helper. He rubbed his hands together and said, "How many golden dragons do you need to pay the Sleeping Charm before Master Tilly agrees to let you follow me?"

"No, I didn't think about leaving—"

"You can live a much better life there," Durlatt interrupted, "to live in the same compound with me, to enjoy wine and game from the Four Kingdoms every day, and to have attendants everywhere you go—that is the day that many long, and as long as you serve me, all this is not a problem." Besides, didn't Master Tilly say that the Maleficent Charm has everything it needs, and I can afford to pay for more recruitment. ”

Lian's brows furrowed, this attitude was no stranger to her, she kept saying that it was hiring, but in fact it was not much different from buying herself. Just when she wanted to scold her loudly, Kazufeng gently took her hand, "Answering a request does not mean agreeing, there are some things that witches can't do, and another point of reaching a contract is that the consent of the parties must be obtained." ”

"You mean I can't pay for it, I've never seen anyone do this business," Duract said in an unhappy tone, "Is it true that you used the Sleeping Charm just to tease us? ”

"Not necessarily," someone behind him suddenly chimed in, "Whether it's the fjord or the Four Kingdoms, the bounty guild of witches is the only one, and if you don't come, someone else will come." ”

"You're again—" The merchant turned his head and couldn't help but be stunned, "Lord Thunder, Thunder!"

"I had the idea when Sleeping Charm made the charter, and the approval of the hired people was required to sign the contract, considering the possible risks in the mission, and they should not be forced to go," Thunder laughed loudly, "Do you think there is a problem?"

"No...... That's very reasonable," Durat's expression quickly returned to normal, "then...... I'll have to trouble you from now on, Miss Lian. ”

"Whew," Lian sighed in relief as she looked at the back of the merchant and his group leaving, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, I just happened to be passing by," Thunder smiled, "Didn't you follow Master Tilly to the West?"

"Well, but I'm back with Honey and Zephyr, because Sleepy Island needs supplies and houses for the winter," she said, repeating it briefly, "you're done with your expedition?"

"Hahaha, that's right...... It's been an incredible journey," Thunder's eyes lit up at the thought of the expedition, "for the first time I've seen a sea at a completely different height, and the ship almost seems to be flying, heading vertically towards the cliff formed by the waves, and we don't fall into the depths! ”

"Heights are different...... The sea?" Lian muttered. What kind of scene is this? The sea is not a stone, doesn't it flow down?"

"Well, I'll name it the Sea Line, just northeast of the Shadow Islands. When climbed, the cliff is like a long, boundless line that divides the ocean into two distinct sections. He patted his chest excitedly, "I can't wait to try my next voyage further!"

Arguably the most brilliant explorer of the fjords, the first thing he talks about when he comes back is adventure, not his daughter far away...... Lian looked at the other party's gushing appearance and shook her head helplessly.

When night falls and the temperature drops outside, Lian climbs into bed early – the most relaxing time of the day. For more than a month, in addition to building a new batch of houses, she has also renovated the old houses of other witches. Squeezed into the warm kang bed with everyone, chatted about what he saw and heard in the border town, answered the sometimes curious and sometimes envious questions of his partners, and chatted casually for most of the night.

This time, I'm talking about bird's snout mushrooms.

When it was said that it was a delicious dish to be boiled back and forth in a little butter, fried until golden brown on both sides, and sprinkled with some minced salt, there was a sound of swallowing all around.

"Ah...... I want to eat this too. "I've been chewing dried fish on the boat for a month, and now my mouth is full of salt." ”

"That's good," Moriel couldn't help but pinch Lian, "If only Master Tiri's brother had invited me in the first place." ”

"Hey, it's even more amazing that you haven't heard," someone laughed, "and there is water coming straight out of the walls for bathing, and soap that makes your whole body smell when you're done." ”

"Is there such a thing?" said the Phantom curiously.

"Of course, I've brought one back," Lian pouted, "but it's already gone." ”

"Don't talk about that, they at least experienced it, I followed Master Tilly to the Westside and picked them up immediately, and I didn't enjoy anything!"

Listening to the witches' gossip and discussion, Lian couldn't help but have an idea in her mind.

Would you have agreed if it had been His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon who wanted to "hire" him on a long-term basis, rather than Durath Goldbeard?

Thinking about it, she found that if the other party was Roland, she couldn't say no.

It's just a shame!

Lian shrunk into the quilt and looked left and right, but fortunately the oil lamp had been blown out now, and no one would find out about her thoughts.

But when will Lord Tilly accept Roland?

Wouldn't it be nice if they could stay together all the time...... Lian tightened the scarf she was holding in her arms, so that both herself and other witches could live happily in the border town.
