Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

For Qiao Yi, "love" is a very strange and distant concept.

Different from the sexual orientation of friends around him and the pressure from society, Qiao Yi never tried to set foot in the restricted zone in the name of love in his short 20 years.

But now, he plunged headlong into the misty forest called Lando, trying to slowly explore the entirety of that forest little by little.

The fog in the forest is clear, and the road under the feet is not clear, but it is fatally seductive and charming.

Joey admitted that he likes the feeling of seeing the moon and the moon in the adventure exploration.

Like a fruit with an attractive aroma, in Qiao Yi's hands, the outer skin was slowly peeled off, revealing the sweet and soft heart.

There must be some unknown magic in the wind of the Whispering Forest to raise such a delicate and pure white treasure.

Qiao Yi turned over on the bed, resting his arms on his pillow, watching the breeze lift up the curtains and skirts, and the moonlight projected into the room through the half-opened windows.

Xiao Fei seems to be having trouble with Yun Duo these days, and always hides when he sees Yun Duo, completely gone from the previous appearance of going up to tease Yun Duo when they met each other.

Two days ago, Dean and Il built a nest for Yun Duo and Xiao Fei by the window. At that time, Yun Duo was resting in his cabin, combing his smooth and beautiful feathers.

Xiao Fei disappeared all day today, and he doesn't know where the waves went.

Just thinking about it, Qiao Yi suddenly heard the cuckoo of a certain fat chicken.

Turning his face away, the little thing was pushing open the door of Joe's first bedroom with his head, and half of his head was exposed to peek inside.

Qiao Yi sat up with a pillow in his arms, and said with a smile, "You still know how to go home?"

"Coo, coo, coo."

Xiao Fei shrunk his head, blinked his eyes wide and gnawed on the door frame and began to play dumb.

"Okay, come in." Qiao Yi stood up and lit the candlestick: "Dean made you a nest, on the window sill."

"Goo~"

Xiao Fei came in after jumping around twice, and looked towards the window.

Yun Duo paused for a while in combing her feathers, then turned her back to Xiao Fei.

"Goo."

Xiao Fei scratched the ground with his paws, turned around and ran away again.

Joe didn't bother to care about their birds, and went back to bed, staring at the cloak hanging on the coat rack by the window.

The cloak was placed in his house and it almost became a cultural relic, and it has not been returned to his master.

Next to the cloak, there is also a palm-sized elf doll.

It was a small gift for Lancaster that was taken by mistake last time.

Joe took off the little doll and stroked little Lando's cheek with his fingers. Thinking of Lancaster, who was flushed from his own kiss when they parted in the forest, his eyes softened again.

This guy is as clean as a pool of clear spring water, and any movement can make ripples in the lake.

"Cuckoo."

The crowing of a round-faced fat chicken came from outside the door again.

As soon as Qiao opened the door, he saw that this guy had a bright red rose in his mouth, and he jumped onto the window sill flapping his wings.

Qiao stared out of the window for a moment, only to realize that the flowers that Old Gener was serving had fallen to their branches at some point.

"Goo."

Xiao Fei, who jumped onto the window sill on the other side, put down the rose, carefully moved to Yun Duo's nest, tentatively stretched out his claws, and hooked Yun Duo's tail feathers.

Yun Duo didn't move.

Appears to be asleep.

"Cuckoo, cluck~"

Xiao Fei leaned forward, tilted his head, and said a few words in a low voice.

Then it turned around and picked up the red rose in its mouth, and gently placed it beside Yun Duo's nest.

Blinking, it seems that the arrangement of the flowers is not very nice.

Xiaofei stretched out the little jiojio again, and moved the flower quietly.

He took a few steps back to see the effect, and was quite satisfied, so he folded his wings and went back to his nest, buried his head in the wings and closed his eyes.

On the other side, the "sleeping" Yun Duo woke up.

It looked at Xiao Fei who was sleeping across the way, then at the roses beside the nest, and finally put the flowers into the nest.

Joe looked at the whole process with his chin up, only thinking that these two little guys were cute and cheerful.

Stretching, Qiao Yi closed the window, planning to close the curtains and sleep for a while.

After a night of insomnia, if I don't sleep anymore, it will be dawn soon.

However, when he unconsciously glanced down, the movement stopped.

Outside the fence covered with roses in the backyard, a somewhat familiar figure was walking slowly.

It seemed that he didn't expect Qiao Yi to be awake, and the movement of the figure was obviously paused.

Then Qiao Yi saw what the other party took out.

Just as he was wondering, a bright white light floated over from there.

When he got close to his eyes, Qiao Yi realized that it was a paper crane.

Stretching out his hand, the paper crane landed in the palm of his hand, and the light faded, only then did Qiao Yi realize that there were words written on it.

"Get dressed and go downstairs—Lando."

The handwriting is mellow and meaningful, but also has a hidden edge.

But Joe looked at the clock on the wall—four o'clock in the morning.

...you are in good spirits.

But looking at the elf standing outside the fence, Qiao Yi chose to put on his clothes and go downstairs.

The air in the early morning seems to be moist with dew, and the roses on the fence are also emitting bursts of fragrance.

When Joe passed by, he paused and broke off a branch.

Bathed in the mist of dawn, the young man in thin spring clothes, his hair curled up softly, with a bright red rose as red as blood between his fingers, came out from the fence woven by flowers.

Like a nightingale embraced by flowers.

Lancaster subconsciously suffocated slightly.

He looked at Qiao Yi who was walking slowly, and his heart was pounding: "...good morning."

As soon as Qiao raised his head, he looked at the sky that seemed to be stained with ink.

Well, it's pretty early.

After a big yawn, Joe wiped away the water in his eyes: "Good morning, Lando."

He handed over the rose in his hand.

"..."

Lancaster, who was given flowers for the first time, took them in a hurry, and the moment his two hands touched caused some ripples in his heart.

In the next second, Qiao Yi's movement made him freeze in place, and the tips of his ears quickly became bloodshot and red.

Lancaster was pinching the flowers in his hands, and he was a little at a loss with his red head.

"Good morning kiss."

Qiao Yi's ears were also a little hot, but he still tried to pretend to be calm, and took out the paper crane and shook it in front of the elf's eyes: "You came to see me so early, what's the matter?"

Only then did Lancaster suddenly come to his senses, and carefully pinned the rose in his breast pocket, and took Qiao Yi's hand: "Take you somewhere."

……

Compared with the late night, the forest before dawn has a more open and fresh smell.

Joe Yi was held in Lancaster's arms again and again, and quickly shuttled through the forest while clutching the vines.

The rumors remained the same, but this time Qiao Yi didn't close his eyes in fear.

He climbed on Lancaster's shoulders, tried to open his eyes, and looked at the rapidly receding tree shadows on both sides.

Perhaps this kind of scenery has a hypnotic effect, just like people who sit by the window in a car are always prone to sleepiness.

Not long after, Qiao Yi slowly closed his eyes.

The smell on Lancaster made Qiao Yi feel safe.

He was really sleepy.

Lancaster, who found that Joe Yi had fallen asleep in his arms, carefully landed on the ground, hugged Joe Yi horizontally, and put his head on his shoulder, trying to make Joe Yi sleep more comfortably.

The thin boy was hugged in his arms, light and delicate like a swallow.

The blood of the Stuart family has always been good, and Qiao Yi is no exception.

The handsome and youthful face became much softer in sleep, and the ruddy lips resembled the red rose pinned to his chest.

Lancaster approached and carefully kissed Qiao Yi's cheek, as if he was afraid of shattering Qiao Yi's dream.

Then it moved down slowly, and landed on the blooming red rose like a dragonfly.

Joe didn't wake up.

Shrinking his neck, his slightly frowning brows also relaxed, as if he had a sweet dream.

Lancaster looked down at Qiao Yi who was sleeping unsuspectingly in his arms like a cub, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to melt.

He bowed his head and whispered in Qiao Yi's ear:

"……like you."

……

When Joe woke up, it was on Lancaster's back.

The sky has already changed from dark blue to light sapphire blue, as if in the next second, there will be a ray of light dispelling the thin mist to illuminate the whole world.

Only then did Qiao Yi realize that they had left the forest.

In other words, the entire forest is under their feet.

They were now on a high cliff, and Lancaster was trekking hard towards the highest peak with him on his back.

"you're awake?"

Sensing the change in the breath behind him, Lancaster tilted his head and asked.

"Well, I'm awake." As soon as Joe got off Lancaster's back, he saw the fine sweat on the tip of Lancaster's nose.

"Are you tired?" Joe stretched out his hand and touched Lancaster's hot cheek: "Sorry, I'm too sleepy."

Lancaster shook his head, raised his hand to hold the one that Joe put on his cheek: "I came to you too early."

He turned around and nimbly jumped up a steep stone step with a small platform above it, which was the highest point of the cliff.

He stretched out his hand towards Qiao Yi: "Come up."

"it is good."

After clasping both hands, Qiao Yi realized that there was a familiar little thing hanging on Lancaster's waist.

It was the little puppet that originally belonged to Qiao Yi.

Lancaster always carried it with him.

Noticing Qiao Yi's gaze, Lancaster's face suddenly turned red, and he opened his mouth, about to explain.

But Qiao Yi took out another elf puppet from his waist, his brows and eyes curved: "What a coincidence, you also brought it with you?"

Lancaster froze for a moment looking at the small one, pursed his lips, and turned even redder.

Looking at each other, the two of them suddenly raised the corners of their mouths and laughed together.

Only then did Qiao Yi realize that when the elf laughed, there were actually two dimples.

Unable to restrain himself, Joe poked it with his hand.

The soft touch made Joe gasp for breath.

Then the face of the elf slowly enlarged and enlarged in front of my eyes...

Until the breath is heard and the tip of the nose touches.

Joe closed his eyes.

There was a soft touch on the lips, and Joe held his breath, only feeling that his heart was about to fly out of his chest.

Lancaster held Qiao Yi's side face, gently pecked and kissed his lips, and then tentatively and carefully stuck out the tip of his tongue.

Qiao Yi's breathing became chaotic, and his fingers tightened, crumpling the shirt on Lancaster's chest.

Green vines broke through the ground and grew up, entwining the place where they were sitting, displaying green leaves and blooming pure white flowers. On the top of the high cliff, a green rose throne bloomed.

Lin Feng sent the fragrance of morning dew, messed up the hair of the two people and tangled them together, then ran to the outside of the cliff, crossed the forests, and flew towards Dongfanglan, which formed a wide arc-shaped sea horizon.

The blue on the sky became lighter and lighter.

Until an orange-gold light broke through the blue arc, instantly illuminating the ten thousand hectares of forest.

Lancaster stepped back slightly to look into Qiao Yi's eyes, half of his face was stained with golden light.

"Look over there."

Joe Yi looked along where Lancaster was pointing, and opened his eyes slightly.

I saw that the blue arc in the sky has been dyed golden orange, and a huge golden dome is slowly rising from under the blue arc.

The eastern sky was dyed a strange light purple, and the place near the light cluster gradually turned into dazzling gold.

Correspondingly, on the west side of the sky that has turned into water blue, a few small silvery-white light spots flicker, and a crescent moon seems to be covered by a layer of veil, gradually becoming unclear.

Lancaster held Qiao Yi's hand tightly, and looked at Qiao Yi as if a pool of autumn water had been crushed, as gentle as a whirlpool.

"It's so beautiful."

Qiao Yi watched the golden light in the east break away from the shackles of the blue arc bit by bit, hanging above the sea level.

The golden morning light reflected Qiao Yi's eyes, coating his entire outline with a layer of fluffy gold.

Lancaster didn't look at the sunrise in the east, but looked at Qiao Yi, nodded seriously: "Well, it's very beautiful."

As soon as Joe turned his head, he hugged Lancaster and kissed:

"It's just fantastic."

Lancaster reached out to hold Joe to prevent him from falling, and bent his eyes: "As long as you like it."

……

The two stayed on the mountain until the sun was high and everything had come to life, and then they walked down the mountain slowly holding hands.

But Qiao Yi didn't care if it was three shots in the day or what, Qiao Yi, who didn't sleep all night and went up to the mountain early in the morning, decided to catch up on sleep, and don't wake him up when the king of heaven comes.

But his wish was doomed to fail.

After sleeping for less than three hours, he was awakened by Dean's cry.

"Master! Master! A group of unknown children came outside, saying that they came to give gifts to thank—"

After a moment of collapse, Qiao Yi covered his head with the pillow, and finally tidied up and got out of bed.

In the living room, a group of bearded dwarfs in simple animal skin clothes and ox horn hats were sitting on the sofa in a row, looking at the various snacks on the coffee table for entertaining guests, as well as the dishes on the sofa. Several pillows and dolls, dumbfounded.

"Is this really something made by the poor storm leader?" A dwarf swallowed while looking at the various snacks in the food basket.

"I bet this thing can sell for at least fifty silver coins in the south!" The other picked up a big rabbit doll and pinched the rabbit's soft ears.

"Has the storm of poverty turned the salted fish over?"

"When I came here, I also saw a strange looking gray square building."

"Yes! They seem to be building a house? Using that gray mud and bricks, it looks very fast!"

"..."

The dwarves talked in a loud voice.

Mello sat next to his brother Meg, stuffing snacks into his mouth one after another, his cheeks bulging like a hamster.

"Brother, don't you want to try it? It's really delicious!" Melo muttered, and stars almost appeared in his eyes: "Every kind is delicious!"

Meg was a few years older than Melo. Although she was more stable, she was still a child after all.

He blushed and asked Melo to eat more slowly. This gesture was too impolite, and he reached out his hand to touch two fish balls very restrainedly, and tasted them quietly.

As soon as Joe was far upstairs, he heard the conversation of these fellows.

No way, racial characteristics.

Rough and unrestrained dwarves don't follow the public social etiquette of not making loud noises.

For them, talking loudly is what sets off the warm vibe.

"Sorry, there are some things that need to be dealt with temporarily, and I have kept you waiting for a long time."

As soon as Qiao came down from the stairs, he lied about his bedtime behavior without changing his face.

The noisy living room was quiet for a moment.

Several older dwarves with big beards looked at each other and began to push each other: "You go, you go."

"Hi, you are the oldest, you go."

"Why should I go when I'm old? Can you respect the old man? Let the third child go!"

The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

And a little embarrassment.

Joe coughed lightly, expressing his presence.

The other party finally pushed someone out.

Beside him stood two dwarves who looked exactly like him.

"My lord, hello. I'm Huo Lin Bryan. This is my brother, Huo Mu, and that's my brother, Huo Sen."

The dwarf with reddish-brown hair, a big beard braided into a braid, and a horned hat put one hand on his chest and nodded to Joe: "In order to thank you and the Jaran Nord elves for helping us, we will We offer our sincere thanks.”

As he spoke, the dwarf boy Melo was pushed out, holding a rough wooden box in his hand.

Joe waved his hand: "It's just a matter of convenience."

Still, he motioned for Dean to take the box.

"Aren't you going to open it and have a look?" Huo Lin puffed out his chest, looking a little proud: "This is the reliance of our Bryan family to survive in the forest!"

"is it?"

As soon as Qiao opened the box, he was stunned for a moment: "Crossbow. Bow?"

"This is a burst. A crossbow. A bow. It is even more powerful than an elf's bow and arrow in the ceremony!"

"Crack." Qiao Yi closed the box and looked at the group of dwarves: "You guys must have other purposes here."

Say it right.

The dwarves came up, Huo Lin rubbed his hands, and grinned cautiously: "Hey, I heard from Melo that you got the "Machinery Canon"?"

Yo,

Before he put the bait, the big fish took the hook by itself.

Joe picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said modestly, "Where is it? It's just some broken pages."

In fact, he doesn't even have a broken page.

But does it matter?

It was enough to convince the dwarf that he had it.

Sure enough, the dwarf on the opposite side exploded "Weng".

"Is it true!?"

"Has the lord abandoned his people? He would rather give the national treasure to mankind!"

"Few of us have seen the complete ceremony!"

"..."

Until a discordant voice finally appeared in the crowd, it was Huo Sen who spoke: "How do we know what you said is true?"

As if a bucket of cold water was poured down, the grief and shock of the dwarves were instantly extinguished.

"Yes, how do we know what you said is true!"

"Many human beings are insidious and cunning liars!"

"The mouth of a human, a ghost who deceives a dwarf!"

"..."

Joe was also indifferent.

He put down the teacup with a "snap", made a clear sound, crossed his feet and crossed his hands, with a profound expression of "the truth is in my hands, and everyone here is hot chicken".

The dwarves fell silent quickly.

Joe nodded in satisfaction.

Well, this dude seems to have successfully pretended.

"You want evidence? Okay."

As he spoke, he slowly got up and went upstairs, and entered the study.

Next second:

"System, do you have the blueprint for the continuous.fire.crossbow?"

System: Yes.

"Can I rent it?"

System: one day life/hour

Qiao Yi: ... a little expensive.

Can krypton life fool people?

Qiao Yi gritted his teeth: "... rent for 15 minutes!"

【Successful transaction】

As soon as Qiao looked at the pile of blueprints that appeared out of thin air on the table, he felt his heart bleeding.

This is not a blueprint, this is his fire of life!

An inch of time is an inch of gold!

After wiping his face and adjusting his expression, Qiao straightened his clothes, took out some other blueprints from the mall a few days ago from the drawer, and pushed open the door.

"Listen to me, it is impossible for the king to hand over the ceremony to humans! He must be a liar!"

"That's right! Maybe I'll use some stupid thing to fool me!"

"Does he also want to take us to work? Then ask our crossbow bow!"

"Dwarves are never slaves!!"

The discussion downstairs has started to go in strange directions.

As soon as Joe came downstairs, she saw the dwarves who were pretending to drink water, but their eyes were quietly watching here.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, and "slapped" a stack of drawings onto the coffee table.

It seemed that what he threw out was not a precious blueprint, but something worthless.

For a moment, the living room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"This is... this is..." Huo Lin shook his voice, pointing to the top stack of drawings.

"It's our repeating crossbow!!"

"What's this? What's a sewing machine?"

The blueprints were passed around among the dwarves.

"Firing cement and masonry? Why haven't I heard of this?"

"But, that sewing machine..."

Huo Sen's eyes were glued to the drawing of the sewing machine, and his eyes were red.

This is a treasure!A true treasure!

He flipped through the drawings, wishing he could dive in and start experimenting now.

however

"歘——"

Hands are empty.

Huo Sen's expression froze.

Holding the blueprints he took back in one hand, Joe smiled with a mouthful of pure and sincere little white teeth: "People in the Stuart family never bother to tell lies."

But Qiao Yi is from the Chinese Qiao family.

"Do you believe it now?"

Qiao put away the blueprints with a smile. From an angle that the dwarves could not see, the patterns and writings on the crossbow and bow blueprints were slowly disappearing.

It's rental time.

The author has something to say: My grandma really dotes on my mother so much, she picks up walnut kernels and sends them over.

I wanted to eat it, but my mother refused.

Mom: My mother peeled it for me. If you want to eat it, ask your mother to peel it for you.

I:? ? ?

Mom: And I don't want to peel it for you.

I:? ? ? ? ?

So I had to use the door to squeeze walnuts myself, and the door was broken.

Now not only can I not eat my grandma’s walnuts, but my mother wants me to pay for her:)
