Arknights is too real, right?

Under the sunlight, the sea surface sparkles.

The waves surged up to the beach rhythmically, hitting the turtles and Ifrit playing in the water.

Xia Feng shouted loudly while sitting under the sun umbrella.

"Be careful, don't get washed away by the sea!"

At this time, the Pu's brothers' watermelon had been cut, and Pu Da handed the largest piece to Xia Feng.

"Brother Feng, eat melon."

"Thanks."

While everyone was eating watermelon and looking at the sea, Xia Feng said to Puda with a mean smile.

"God of Gamblers, do you have anything to say when you see the sea? Let me express your thoughts."

Puda knew that Xia Feng was deliberately teasing him, so he could only look at him with a scornful expression.

"Oh, I never thought I would see the sea again in this life. I thought the only sound of water I would hear in this life would be the sound of the toilet flushing."

"Hahaha."

Puda gnawed the watermelon clean in several mouthfuls and asked Xia Feng tentatively.

"Brother Feng, what is your identity now?"

Prue also turned his head, he was also very concerned about Xia Feng's identity.

Before Xia Feng could think of a reply, Nan Feng, who was basking in the sun next to him, turned over and interjected.

"He has too many identities now. The most famous one is probably the owner of a barbecue restaurant."

Puda was a little skeptical.

"Ah? Brother Feng, have you invested in the catering industry?"

"Roughly the same."

"If you can be on par with the Haimen Gang leader in catering, how big of a restaurant will it have to be?"

"Well, it's not just catering, there are other things."

Prue dragged an awkward leg and sat in front of Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, please don't show off. Please explain to your brother what is the biggest business you are doing now."

Xia Feng thought for a moment, then looked at Puda.

"God of Gamblers, haven't you been to Notting City before and approached the Fredo Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, I lost all my money in the casino owned by the Fredo Chamber of Commerce. Wait, can you stop calling me the god of gambling?"

Facing the brothers' gazes, Xia Feng continued speaking lightly.

"You may not know that the Frido Chamber of Commerce has now changed its name."

"Changed your name?"

"Yes, it is now called Black Feather Chamber of Commerce. By the way, I changed this name."

"this"

Xia Feng picked up another piece of watermelon and said while eating it.

"And I also contracted a mining area to mine light manganese ore, and there are two processing plants."

The Platts brothers who are familiar with the metallurgical industry certainly know what light manganese ore is, but Xia Feng's statement is a bit shocking. He is not reselling or transporting light manganese ore, but directly contracting a mining area!

Because of the shock, Puda's expression system was paralyzed, and he could only give a thumbs up.

"Brother Feng, I thought you were awesome when we were on the boat. After you defeated the monster, I thought you were even more awesome. Until now, your degree of awesomeness in my heart has reached its peak."

Xia Feng put down the watermelon.

"It's nothing to criticize. Whether it's the Chamber of Commerce or the mining area, it's all a way to make a living. What I want to do next is my real dream, and it's where I need your brothers' help."

Speaking of this, Prue seemed to understand why Xia Feng asked him that question yesterday.

"Xia Feng, are you..."

"That's right."

Xia Feng looked at the sea, and a serious and confident voice came from his mouth.

"Next, I will monopolize the entire underground source stone trade in Victoria and become the source stone smuggling giant in the western part of the world of Terra. Except for official channels, all people or forces who want to obtain finished source stones must buy them from me."

This sentence seems simple, but the difficulty of actually achieving it is unimaginable, so Xia Feng calls it a dream.

Of course, this is not an unfounded dream, nor is it bragging, because every step he takes so far is getting closer and closer to this dream.

This is what he must do.

Source Stone, in the eyes of others, may only see money. Source Stone is equal to money. In other words, Source Stone is too risky. As long as it can make money, it will be the same in any business.

But those who truly have a high enough perspective know that the Source Stone represents more than just money. As Kelsey once said, the Source Stone is, in a sense, the lifeblood of the world.

Xia Feng still couldn't fully understand the true meaning of lifeline at this moment, but before he could understand it, he had to hold the lifeline firmly in his hands.

His gaze was extremely profound.

Blue sky and white clouds, sea and sky line, even in this gradually collapsing world, there are still beautiful scenery.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xia Feng turned his head slightly. He had noticed the gaze in the distance a few minutes ago.

Under a tree at the edge of the beach, an old man in a plaid suit stood quietly.

It was Xiao Yunye, the number one swordsman in the Yan Kingdom.

Sure enough, the so-called surveillance is not just talk.

Early the next morning.

Because there were more people, Xia Feng borrowed another car from Lin Hai. Following the rising sun, the two cars embarked on a journey back to Hapi City.

Turtle and Ifrit sat in the back, each with a shell necklace hanging around their neck. Ifrit held a whistle made of shells in her mouth and kept blowing "beep beep beep".

Xia Feng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around unbearably.

"Stop bragging, it's so noisy!"

"Beep beep beep beep!"

"Keep blowing, and I won't take you out again."

"Beep!"

Hongdao was the driver when they came, and Nanfeng became the driver when they returned. The two cars drove out of the urban area of ​​Shengdi City and started traveling along the northward highway.

The journey back was still leisurely, with stops and stops along the way, not missing any of the beautiful scenery along the way. When the two cars returned to Hapi City, it was already three days later.

Nanfeng got off the bus directly in Notting City and returned to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters building.

Puda took over his driver's seat and followed the car in front of him back to the Black Feather Grill x Black Feather Co., Ltd.

In front of the store.

After the vehicle stopped, everyone got out of the car one by one. Lapland lay on the rocking chair that Xia Feng had placed at the door. When he saw Xia Feng and the others coming back, the tip of his white coat subconsciously shook.

"Boss, welcome back."

"Hey, Lagouzi, this is my exclusive throne."

Lapland ignored him, lay on it and changed into a comfortable position, turning his face to the other side.

Turtle and Ifrit took out the souvenirs from Shendi City they bought in the car, jumped into the store, and shared them with Nancy and the others.

Puda stood at the car door and touched his chin.

"Brother Feng, your headquarters is quite low-key."

In fact, he originally wanted to say it was quite shabby, but he just changed it to a more euphemistic word.

Xia Feng greeted the two brothers.

"It never hurts to be low-key. Come on, you're welcome. You're all our own. Come in and sit wherever you want. We'll have barbecue in the evening."

"okay."

After the Pu brothers entered, Xia Feng looked at the car behind them.

At this time, Xina and Xiao Jiansheng, the old and the young, had already got out of the car.

For some reason, this loli stood in the middle of the street after getting off the car. She closed her eyes lightly, as if she was feeling something. Mr. Xiao, who was wearing a plaid suit, stood quietly half a step behind her.

Xia Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, what are you two doing there? Come on."

"Snapped!"

Before Xia Feng finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of broken ceramics from across the street.

Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw Sister Mira, who lived diagonally across the street, standing there blankly. There was a jar that had just been broken under her feet.

According to Ergou's information, Sister Mira was Sami's court warlock. She was later dumped by her boyfriend and lost confidence in life, so she lived here. Of course, Xia Feng didn't believe Ergou's information about cheating, but When Turtle Ore Disease broke out before, Sister Mira did provide precious pharmaceutical raw materials, Jin Xi.

Broken jars were scattered at her feet, and the gray powder inside leaked out, but Mira didn't react at all. She stood across the street, staring straight at the loli named Xina with wide eyes.

Hearing the sound, Hina opened her eyes, turned her head and glanced at Sister Mira across the street, her expression unchanged.

Then she withdrew her gaze and looked at Xia Feng.

"Is this your home? The sun outside is so dazzling, I'll go in first."

After that, Xina held the stuffed pony toy and walked into the barbecue restaurant with Xiao Yunye.

By this time everyone had entered the house and the street had returned to dead silence.

Xia Feng didn't speak. He saw Sister Mira's reaction in his eyes, and his intuition told him that there was a problem here, and it was not a small problem.

He ignored Xina who walked into the barbecue restaurant. Guigui and the others should arrange and entertain for him. Xia Feng took a step forward and walked straight towards Sister Mira who was standing in a daze across the street.

"Sister Mira, are you okay?"

He glanced at the broken jar on the ground. He didn't know what the gray powder inside was. It might be some kind of substance, but the jar was broken, so it was obviously not easy to recycle.

However, Mira never glanced at the jar on the ground. She looked straight at Xina's back and asked in a deep voice.

"Xia Feng, where did you bring that person back from?"

"Which one?"

"That woman, Sakaz."

The person Sister Mira was referring to was undoubtedly Xina, and Xiao Yunye next to her had been directly ignored by her.

Xia Feng didn't know Mira's true identity, but since he moved here, everyone had been good neighbors who lived in peace, and because of the previous incident, Sister Mira was considered one of Turtle's saviors.

Facing her question, Xia Feng could only answer truthfully.

"I met her when we were discussing business out of town. Sister Mira, what's wrong?"

"Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know. I didn't know her before, but she insisted on coming here."

Looking at Mira's complicated expression, Xia Feng asked tentatively.

"I only know her name is Xina, Sister Mira. Do you know who she is?"

Mira narrowed her eyes, with a slight tremor in her voice.

"I can't feel a breath of life from her body. Combined with her appearance, if my guess is correct, she should be that person."

"who?"

"The witch who stopped time, Mohimina."

This time it was Xia Feng's turn to be dumbfounded.

Time stood still. The amount of information was too huge. He couldn't tell whether it was literal or had a deeper meaning. For a while, his brain couldn't react at all.

"ha?"

Mira stared closely in Xina's direction, and the voice continued to come.

"There are many records of ancient magic in Sami's Royal Magician Institute. The magic theory of one school has a huge influence on later generations. In one of the most profound ancient books, there is a description and portrait of a person. That It’s a little girl.”

"Ah? Could it be?"

"In the records, the little girl in the portrait is the founder of this magic school. No one knows where she came from. In the records at that time, she was already called a witch by the magicians. During that period of time, 300 years ago.”
