I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Since he promised the Duchess to help her deliver the letter, the city lord found Roderick after returning and asked him if he had a way to quickly deliver the letter to Bayswater.

The decadent-looking mage replied without much thought: "It may not be easy to do elsewhere, but it is easy to send a letter to Bayswater. The headquarters of the Mage Union is in Bayswater, and the branch of Los City At noon, the letters and documents will be sent to the headquarters once, and you can give me the letter, and I can help you make a trip."

The lord of the city told the duchess the news, so that night, the lady wrote a letter of introduction to Sepule under the nose of her husband.

"Hey! What a ridiculous behavior!" Duke Dukes sat on the easy chair in the room, making such a mocking sound on purpose.

Then he found that his words did not attract his wife's attention, so he stood up again, pretended to pour tea, and walked to the desk where the duchess was, and while pouring tea into the cup with the silver pot, he said sarcastically: " I can guarantee that this guy is absolutely unwilling to give up the contacts and reputation accumulated in his previous life to come to such a completely strange city."

The Duchess calmly polished the recruitment information she saw and wrote it into the letter.

The Duke raised his voice: "Perhaps when he reads your letter, he will complain in his heart that you are inexplicable and unnecessary."

At this time, the madam finally finished writing a paragraph. Taking advantage of the gap between line breaks, she raised her head to look at the Duke who was leaning against the table, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then let's make a bet."

"Oh?" The Duke raised his teacup and asked leisurely, "What's the bet?"

"If Sepura doesn't want to come after reading the letter, I will admit that what you said is right, and I will never mention similar things in the future," said the Duchess. "If I win, then you have to agree with me." It doesn’t matter whether my designs are seen or not when I send sketches to Xia Zhisen in the future, but you have no reason to stop me from doing so.”

The Duke frowned, and was about to refuse, when the other party added: "Of course, to save your face, I will change the name and do this in private. I just need you to turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't see it."

The Duke looked at her imperative expression and thought about it in his heart. He just drew a picture occasionally and submitted a draft. As long as he didn't really work as a tailor, it wouldn't have much impact.

Besides, he doesn't necessarily lose.

"Okay, let's try it." He said calmly.

·

While the Duchess was busy writing letters to the tailor in Bayswater, Usha was also busy preparing a batch of new goods for Bayswater.

This time the order came from Lin Nuo's cosmetics branch.

Lin Nuo didn't have time to come here, so he hired a team of mercenaries to help deliver the goods. The mercenaries calculated the price on time. The goods were urgent and had to be delivered tomorrow, so Youxia had to prepare all the goods tonight.

Lin Nuo's business in Bayswater is obviously doing well. The order volume this time is almost three times that of the first time. Because there are too many goods, Youxia worried that the cosmetics store will not be able to fit them, so he unloaded the goods in Mahinda Large warehouse on La Street.

The process of comparing and buying goods was very long. You Xia started when the sky was still slightly bright in the evening, and was busy until the moon climbed over the eaves, and finally unloaded the goods this time and piled them on the right side of the warehouse.

Before he left, he took the list and checked it again, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he told the lame warehouse manager: "Uncle Bart, this batch of goods is very important, please be careful, and don't let it go." The thief crept in."

Bart sat on the long board outside the concierge and boarded. Hearing this, he took the bow and arrow in his hand and gestured with a serious expression, saying that there was absolutely no problem.

"Then I'll leave first, and bring someone over to pick up the goods tomorrow morning." Youxia greeted, waved with Bart, and then walked towards the gate of the yard.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the outer courtyard of the warehouse, he raised his head and saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the alley on the right front.

The alley was dimly lit, and Les was wearing a black casual outfit when he was on a mission, looking very inconspicuous in the vast night, but Youxia still saw him at a glance.

He couldn't help but smile, ran over and said, "Are you coming to pick me up?"

Les nodded, his cold eyes softened a lot when he touched the elf.

The two naturally walked along the alley towards the street, and You Xia asked, "Has today's task been successfully completed?"

"En." Rice responded, and at the same time took out two gold coins and handed them to him.

You Xia raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, took the gold coin and said, "I feel that your wages are quite high, and you earned two more gold coins in the past week."

"Well, it's alright."

"Strange, then why were you so poor before?"

Rice thought about it for two seconds, then said flatly, "It was expensive before, but it's different now."

In fact, it was because he had recently taken on more dangerous types of missions, and the bonuses were much higher than ordinary missions, but there was no need to tell the other party about this.

Youxia put the gold coins into the purse that Les kept in him, and asked casually: "What's different?"

Rice turned his head and looked at him for a few seconds, but said nothing.

For a moment, Youxia felt as if he had obtained the answer from his silent gaze.

He coughed lightly and said, "But you really should save some money, your father is not close to you, your mother..."

Pausing for a moment, You Xia turned his head to look at his face that was cold and pale by the moonlight, and asked: "If you go to the abyss in the future, will you want to find your mother?"

Les stopped abruptly, his lowered gaze resting on the road ahead.

A slight breeze picked up, bringing in the unpleasant stench from the ditch on the roadside, and the barking of dogs from the alley next door seemed to be urging the two to move forward quickly.

After a moment of silence, Rice took another step, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

This answer means that most of them will still look for it, You Xia thought to himself.

That's right, after all, it's a mother, even if she leaves him early in the morning, it's hard to really not care.

And based on his understanding of Rice, he will definitely not go looking for it with great fanfare after he enters the abyss. Pay close attention to it, knowing that the other party is still alive and doing well, as long as he is what kind of person he is.

Thinking of this, You Xia couldn't help feeling sorry for the little dragon cub.

Although he knew in his heart that the demon dragon of the abyss rarely did bad things, he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that if one day in the future, Les really found his mother, the other party's character would not make him too unreasonable. disappointment.

Middle Continent, the kingdom of orcs.

At noon, the sun shone directly on the broad loess road, and the autumn wind blowing with the smell of dry dust made the little devil Abdul, who was not used to the climate here, sneezed several times in succession.

Lich Yashar wrapped himself tightly in a pure black cloak, and a hoarse voice came out from the black cloth: "Devil Lord, there is a city ahead, do you want to go in and rest for a few days?"

Ofina squinted her bright red vertical pupils, looked at the vast city wall in the distance, a trace of struggle appeared on her pale face, and then she shook her head decisively: "Forget it, let's find a forest to rest and continue to set out at night. "

"Master, you should go to the city to rest for a few days..." Abdul persuaded weakly, "You have suffered such a serious injury, you can't even use space magic, and you still have to fly with us at night, if this continues , the injury will get worse..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Abdul's four protruding yellow eyes.

"Here again, what are you crying for? What is there to cry about? It's already ugly, but it's even uglier when you cry." Ofina reprimanded her not so fiercely.

Abdul choked back his tears.

Ofina sighed: "Don't I want to find a hotel to sleep comfortably, but with the looks of the two of you, you were caught by the orcs guarding the city before you reached the gate, and Yashar will definitely be arrested by then." Nail it in a coffin and bury it under the church. You won’t be able to see the moon at night for hundreds of thousands of years. As for you, a useless ugly thing, they will peel off your skin and goug your eyeballs and sell them to black mages to study magic Then sell your meat to the black heart tavern, and roast it for the mercenaries to make appetizers."

"Ah, the orcs are so scary..." Abdul covered his pointed ears on top of his head as if frightened.

"Are you still in town?"

"Well..." The little devil put down his hand, looked at her timidly, and said hesitantly: "But... But, Abu is so hungry, I really want to gnaw bones, I really want to eat meat, bloody little The lamb chops are crunchy every bite."

Said, also took a mouthful of saliva.

Ofina frowned in disgust, looking a little impatient.

She put her waist down and walked to the bushes on the side of the road. After a while, she walked back to the little devil and stomped her feet impatiently: "Is there any money left?"

The little devil looked at the lich, and Ofina also looked at the lich.

Yashar was silent for a moment, then withdrew a silver coin from his bones: "This is the last money."

The corner of Ofina's mouth twitched, endured a headache, took the silver coin, and muttered: "It's a pity that the treasures I've searched for hundreds of years are all cheap for that stupid dragon."

Abdul clenched his fists and said, "Sooner or later, the master will be able to take back the throne."

"Shut up." Ofina glanced at the little devil, then turned her gaze to Yashar, and said, "You two find a place to hide. I will go to the city to buy some food. The sun is setting." Time to meet here."

Yashar: "Yes, Lord."

After all, Ofina put on the worn-out cloak and hood to cover her long black hair, turned around and strode towards the city in front of her.

·

"Damn it, what a coincidence, it happened to be the king's capital of the orc kingdom. The price of this meat is really ridiculous."

Ofina carried a lamb chop through the busy streets. Most of the people around her were orcs, half-orcs, and orc companions with various orc characteristics. In the end not much.

When she passed a hunter's tavern, she saw an old wolf-clan half-orc man selling dead prey at the door. The price was listed on the sign. A fat hare only cost fifty copper coins, and a pheasant also cost fifty copper coins.

She looked at the lamb chops in her hand, and compared the fat hares and pheasants on the stall, thinking what kind of lamb chops would she eat at this time, just chicken!

So when the old man turned his head to entertain the guests, she quietly cast a space magic, swapped her lamb chops with the hares and pheasants on the stall, and then ran away.

After the orc old man finished entertaining the customers, he turned his head and saw a bright red lamb chop suddenly mixed in with the fur prey on his booth.

"Huh?" He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked up at the pedestrians on the road, but found nothing wrong.

On the other side, Ofina could not run after only half a street. The space magic she cast just now seemed to have exhausted all her energy, and she could faint at any time.

She casually found a wall and sat on the ground with support. When she regained her composure, she looked up to the opposite side, and found that the business of a shop opposite was very prosperous, with customers coming in and out constantly. Formed a stark contrast.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the sign of the store, which said "Xia Zhisen Cosmetics Lion Clan Branch", probably to attract customers, and a sentence "All products are from wood elves" was deliberately added under the sign.

Ofina saw that there were indeed many portraits of wood elves posted on the door of the store, and complained like watching the excitement: "There are still wood elves out to sell things."

Afterwards, when she had almost rested, she stood up leaning against the wall, holding a prey in one hand, and was about to leave.

When passing by that store, her eyes suddenly caught a black poster pasted in the corner of the wall, and her eyes stopped suddenly.

She involuntarily raised her steps and walked to the poster, staring at the man with black hair and black eyes in the painting, and gradually fell into deep thought.

She didn't know it, she had never seen such a face before, but when she looked at the person in the picture, she always felt a strange sense of familiarity lingering in her heart.

"Maybe it looks like one of my old lovers." She thought to herself.

But which old lover she looks like, because she has slept with too many people, she can't remember it for a while.

She carefully described Rice's facial features with her gaze, then smiled lightly, and muttered: "It looks pretty good, if I met him a few years earlier, I could have gone back and messed with it."
