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

What does it feel like to get rich overnight?

No one knows better than Qiao Yi now.

When he saw the number in the [Existing Assets] column in the information box jumping wildly to six figures, and [the first stage reward mall currency 3000 has arrived], he was already thinking about how to spend the money .

Well, should I buy a □□. bag to arm myself first, or should I buy fragrance formulas and dress illustrations first to expand my business?

Hey, it seems that you are not rich enough.

Poor people make choices, rich people want them all!

Karnas has been thrown into a frenzy by a ship from the north.

Even the silver ornaments that were blessed by the Moon Elf clan, which could not be bought at ordinary times, also appeared on Madam Dole's counter.

They are sealed in a crystal counter surrounded by transparent gold wire, placed on pure white animal fur, and seem to emit magical light under the light.

Even though the price was as high as thousands of gold coins, dozens of sets were still sold in just a few days.

As a port city, Kanas City has no shortage of rich people, there is no doubt about it.

——Of course, this part of the proceeds belongs to the elves, and Joe won't even ask for a single gold coin.

Sirius has been enjoying a good life recently, and his products, under the banner of "Mrs. Dole's same style", have attracted a large number of customers who stopped paying attention to Mrs. Dole because of the price.

For a while, even his products began to be in short supply, and the factory was working three shifts and couldn't even keep up with the speed of sales.

A large number of orders and deposits flew to Sirius' warehouse, which made him bloated.

He began to purchase raw materials such as cloth and dyes in large quantities, recruited workers and rented several yards near the factory, and the factory expanded rapidly.

And Qiao Yi and Lando lived in Lenny's hotel, eating snacks, drinking red wine and teasing the cats, living a very comfortable life.

Until this day, the carnival slowly cooled down, and people's attention gradually focused on Mrs. Serrael's birthday party. The small grocery stores in the streets and alleys were full of toys produced by Sirius' factory, which were urgently needed for sale. At that time, Qiao Yi rented out a whole warehouse near the pier to store goods, but he had never seen the huge warehouse with moving workers in and out, and finally opened it.

A large number of high-quality toys sold at extremely low prices, known as "Mrs.

So when Mrs. Sellarel's birthday party was approaching, Karnas City, which had just subsided, fell into a second carnival because of the same name.

For a while, Sirius' factory and the merchants who ordered from Sirius fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

At that time, after hearing the news just now, Sirius, who was having a drink with his friends and receiving compliments from everyone, felt his feet go limp on the spot, and his eyes went dark...

But Qiao Yi didn't care about everything that happened in the city.

At this time, he and Lando were on Mount Yarrow with Canas City at their back, walking from the path in the forest to the top of the mountain.

Mount Arrow is actually a part of the Xuelu Mountain Range, and at the northern end of the Xuelu Mountain Range is the Daxue Mountain behind the Storm Ridge.

In other words, if one can climb Mount Aror and pass through a large endless foggy forest, it is theoretically possible to reach the Stormland.

But in fact, almost no one has been able to cross this mysterious region alive for thousands of years.

On the top of Mount Alor, it is said that there is a pure white holy lake, which turns pink in certain seasons, and is also called the Holy Rose Lake by the locals.

It's just that there is no path for people to walk out from the mountainside of Mount Alor.

Further up, there are almost vertical and steep rock walls, which are extremely difficult to climb. Witch doctors who collect medicine often fall down from there and die. Over time, it has become a legend that is difficult for ordinary people to verify.

It happened that Qiao Yi was bored in the hotel these days and was about to grow mushrooms. Seeing that the weather was good today, he thought about going up the mountain to have a look.

With Lando's walking plug-in, Qiao Yi felt that he didn't have to worry about safety issues.

The bottom of the lake is white, and the water of the lake turns pink seasonally. Almost instantly, Joe thought of the Holia Rose Salt Lake in Australia.

When the dry season comes, the salinity of the lake water will rise, and a halophilic algae living in the lake water will start to reproduce on a large scale, and the β-carotene contained in the body will turn the lake water red.

Back then, when he accompanied his tutor to a certain university in Australia, Qiao Yi always regretted not being able to go to Lake Helia to see the legendary pink salt lake. Now that there is a suspected salt lake here, Qiao Yi of course wants to open his eyes.

The path at the foot of the mountain is not difficult to walk. In the villages at the foot of the mountain, there are many hunters and witch doctors who gather medicine to exorcise demons and cure diseases for a living. After a long time, they walked out of a path.

After all, Mount Arrow is much southerly than the Secret Language Forest, and the climate is much warmer.

The forest at the foot of the mountain here is a large area of ​​coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest. Further up, the broad-leaved trees gradually become scarce, and then gradually become dominated by subalpine coniferous trees.

The horses were entrusted to the farmers at the foot of the mountain, and the two went up the mountain on foot.

Tired from walking, Joe leaned against the root of a lime tree, raised his head and shouted to Lando who was standing relaxed on the top of the tree: "...be careful—how far is it? "

"It's not far away." Lando held the vine, climbed the branches and descended from the tree lightly: "We will be at the rocky beach soon."

After passing the rocky beach, it is the steep rocky area.

Above the rock area is the legendary Rose Lake on the top of the mountain.

Joe patted the dirt on his hands, took out the water bottle and took a sip of water, and pulled Lando's extended hand to stand up: "Then let's go! Try to get down the mountain before dark."

"Ah."

It was almost noon at this time, and the sunlight was cut into beams of different sizes when passing through the layers of leaves, passing through the forest, leaving swaying light spots on the ground covered with fallen leaves and small vegetation.

To be honest, the feeling of stepping on these soft layers of decayed leaves is not very good.

Qiao Yi always felt that he would step on the air and sink in the next second. Compared with the solid hard ground, the ground here was too soft, which made him feel very unsteady.

Especially when he saw a snake slough that was four or five meters long hanging from a tree, his Cowardice attribute began to increase crazily.

So he held on to Lando's arm tightly all the way, wishing he could hold the other's entire arm in his arms.

Hunters sometimes set traps in this kind of place and cover them up with dead leaves. Qiao Yi was also afraid that he would fall inadvertently and be pierced through the candied haws by the sharpened wooden thorns below. It's not fun anymore.

"Joe one."

Joe grabbed Lando's arm and squeezed Lando's hand, observing the surrounding environment nervously, without turning his head: "Huh?"

Lando looked at him, his Adam's apple twitched, as if he was considering whether to speak out.

"What's wrong?" Joe turned to look at him.

"...You stepped on a snake." Lando lowered his eyes, motioning for Joe to bow his head.

Joe One: "..."

Joe One: "..."

Joe One: "!...

With a shake of his body, Joe jumped onto Rando's back at the speed of light, hugged the back of Rando's head, and pointed to the thick snake body half buried in the dead leaves on the ground: "It, it, it... is it still alive? Is it???!?"

Lando: "Dead."

Very peaceful.

Joe One: "..."

Why do I always feel like he did it on purpose?Is it my illusion?

Getting down from Lando awkwardly, Joe, who learned that it was a dead snake, immediately became courageous, picked up a twig, pulled the fallen leaves off the snake, and poked the part of the snake that was exposed: "Can you?" Do you want to eat this?"

Lando: "...Don't eat wild game."

After taking the twig in Joe's hand and throwing it away, Lando took Joe and walked a few steps forward before seeing the snake's head that was also half-hidden in the leaves.

But compared with the almost intact body of the snake, the state of the snake's head is appalling.

The entire snake's head seemed to be hollowed out by something, leaving only a mass of white bones.

Lando frowned.

"What's that?" Qiao Yi suddenly pointed to a small area next to the snake bone.

The dead leaves there seemed to be dusted with fine, shimmering white powder.

Controlling the vine, he curled up a leaf and held it in front of his eyes. Qiao leaned over to look, and slammed his mouth: "It looks like the scales on the wings of insects like moths?"

Brain-eating moths?

But many moths and butterflies are indeed carnivores.

Those powders are shiny, reflecting tiny iridescent colors under the spotlight of the sun.

Of course, Qiao Yi didn't intend to reach out to touch it.

In nature, the more beautiful things often represent the poisonous.

Throwing away the leaves and not caring about the poor snake, the two continued to move forward, but they were more cautious than before.

Till they came to the edge of the wood and could see the rocky beach and the steep rocky

"Ah-"

"Lando!

"Clatter—plop—"

The elf slipped, stepped into the air, and stepped into the camouflaged trap left by the hunter covered with branches and leaves.

Joe stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't catch it. He squatted by the pit and panicked: "Lando! Lando? Are you okay!?"

Mom, is my mouth open?

Fortunately, there were no wooden thorns or caltrops installed in the bottom, and the pit was not deep, so Lando was not injured.

Stretching out his hand to pull Lando up, Qiao Yi realized what Lando was holding in his hand, and asked, "This is it?"

Lando's palm spread out, the vine stretched out, and a thumb-sized gem-like shiny crystal lay on the emerald green vine.

"? Drop a hole in this place and still pick up gems?"

Lando shook his head: "Did you look carefully?"

Joe One: "?"

After leaning over, Qiao Yi realized that this is no gem.

It was clearly a broken chrysalis.

It's just that this chrysalis is too special, it is as transparent as white crystal, and it can reflect colorful iridescent light under the sunlight.

Joe and Lando exchanged glances.

Obviously, they all thought of the scale powder next to the snake bone.

"Do you know this butterfly?"

Lando shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

So Qiao Yi, who was very curious, dropped a detection on the chrysalis.

System: [Unknown Species Chrysalis]

Joe froze for a moment.

Don't even know the system?

[The host is asked to explore by himself and collect illustrations]

Qiao Yi's eyes lit up.

Illustration!Who doesn't like life extension!

Qiao Yi poked the chrysalis with a twig, and asked the system: Is this thing poisonous?

[Chrysalis is non-toxic and can be touched with confidence]

As soon as Joe was relieved, he picked up the chrysalis from the vine.

Surprisingly, this thing not only looks like a gemstone, but also feels cold and smooth like a gemstone. Picking it up and tossing it, it turns out to be quite heavy.

"Is there such a thing in the pit?"

"No." Lando shook his head: "There is only one."

Can a butterfly eat a whole snake head? ?A little fantasy.

Qiao Yi searched around again, but after finding nothing was found, he could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​searching.

The two continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.

Until they walked across the rocky beach, relying on Lando's vines to climb up a nearly vertical rock wall, on a protruding rock block, they finally found the second chrysalis.

Then came the third, fourth...

It seems that the higher you go, the more chrysalis there are on the rock wall.

At noon, Qiao Yi and Lando ate some dry food on a small platform halfway up the rock wall and rested for a while, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain in the afternoon.

The mountain wind whistled past his ears, and the forest in the distance rustled. Qiao Yi stood on the edge of the flat top of Mount Arrow, looking at the magnificent scenery in front of him that almost made his face blush, and lost everything for a moment. language ability.

A huge lake.

red lake.

From the gentle light color near the intersection with the white salt flat, it extends to the distance, and gradually becomes pink, light red, rose red... until the magnificent Roland purple at the end, under the huge orange-red color that seems to be close at hand. Under the setting sun, there is a golden floating light.

The burnt golden orange clouds in the sky are completely reflected on the water, forming a complete piece with the sky, as if a sky is blooming in front of you, and you can step on the burning clouds and the setting sun under your feet.

Tiny lights shone on the white crystalline tidal flats. When a gust of wind blew, only the clear sound of crystals colliding, a string of streamers rose from the tidal flats and drifted in the clouds on the ground.

It wasn't until the string of streamers flew past his eyes that Qiao Yi realized that it was a large group of butterflies.

A transparent butterfly shining with spar brilliance.

As soon as Joe stretched out his hand, a butterfly landed on his hand, flapping its wings lightly.

The transparent jewel butterfly, like a work of art, has a dreamy light purple to light pink gradient extending from the tail of the wing, sparkling in the setting sun.

Then Qiao Yi saw the same transparent and beautiful but sharp mouthparts stretched out by the butterfly!

He flicked his hand violently to throw the butterfly off: "I almost forgot that this thing eats meat!"

The butterfly that was thrown away flapped its wings and flew away.

As soon as Qiao lowered his eyes, he realized that the salt flat under his feet was full of chrysalis.

In addition to the chrysalis, there are many more, thick layers of... Butterfly carcasses.

Qiao Yi suddenly felt a chill down his back.

He was wrong.

How could a salt lake be formed in a climate like Kanas and on the top of a mountain like Mount Aror!

This is not a salt lake at all, the large expanse of white crystalline tidal flats are all generations of butterfly corpses and powders that have been weathered from the corpses!

In other words, this is not a pure holy lake, but should be called the Tomb of Butterflies.

Until they found a half human skeleton in the shallows.

The upper body of the fully ossified corpse was lying on the white beach, covered with a thick layer of crystals, and the lower half soaked in the pool was corroded.

Scattered around the body were other objects also encased in crystals: a longsword, ropes and hooks, a metal flagon...

Probably a brave adventurer.

And in the adventurer's skull, a flower protruded from the black eye socket.

The green stems and leaves are closed with flower buds falling on them.

A gust of wind blew by, the flower bone trembled, and unexpectedly slowly, slowly stretched out.

Four pale tender yellow petals open, surrounded by fluffy stamens, swaying in the wind.

Life and death intertwine here.

It is the only plant that grows normally on this strangely beautiful crystal lake.

[Ding—trigger a hidden mission! 】

[Adventurer's last wish: The flower that bloomed from death contains all the thoughts and love the adventurer had for his beloved during his lifetime. 】【The witch doctor said that in the far north, on the mountain of purity, the water in the holy lake could heal her legs.From then on, the young adventurer went all the way north, climbed countless mountains, and inquired about every legend, until he came here, surrounded by butterflies. 】【Mission Clue: In the south of the South, at the sleeping feet of Mother Earth, if you see a girl who likes yellow moonflowers, please tell her: Andy has a good life in the North, please don’t wait for him to come back. Home. 】【Mission props: Andy's necklace. 】

[Mission Reward: Golden Legendary Item (Unknown) x1]

As soon as Qiao looked at the words on the floating window floating in front of him, he froze for a moment.

What kind of mission is it that you are so generous, and directly rewarded with golden props?

The final task [Overthrow the Holy See] only gives a few gold coins.

Until Lando's voice rang in his ears: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yi blinked and came back to his senses: "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw a broken necklace near the chin of the corpse.

Carefully pulling it out and shaking the crystals on it, Qiao Yi realized that it was a thin silver chain.

Hanging on the chain was a ring with a very simple ring shape, inlaid with broken gemstones and engraved with words on the inner wall.

The handwriting was already blurred, and I could barely make out the names of two people.

It's just that he didn't realize that since he pulled out the necklace, the butterflies gradually surrounded him.

Lando was the first to realize the danger.

When the butterfly flapped its wings and bumped into it, Lando immediately pulled Qiao Yi behind him.

"Shhh-"

Several vines bloomed in front, and the butterflies bumped into them.

The hard wings, as thin as cicada's wings, have almost turned into sharp blades at this time, which can easily cut a hole in a person's clothes and body.

Under the suicide impact of the butterfly, even Lando's vines began to break slowly.

Being chased and killed by butterflies was something Qiao Yi had never dared to think about before, but now it really happened.

—even though the butterfly is obviously not a serious butterfly.

Without paying attention, Qiao Yi's forehead was cut open by the sharp wings, and bright red blood slowly seeped out.

With just a trace of bloody smell that humans can't smell at all, the stimulated butterflies flocked wildly like boiling water.

The two fled down the steep mountain wall almost in a panic.

These hordes of little things are a hundred times more trouble than beasts.

If you encounter a wild beast, you can kill it with a knife, but these small things may not be chopped until the New Year.

Unless with fire.

However, is this butterfly really afraid of fire?Joe was skeptical about it.

The feeling of escaping is not exciting at all, especially escaping on a dangerous cliff, Joe is only terrified.

He felt fine when he climbed up, but when he went down the mountain, facing the steep cliff under his feet, Qiao Yi still felt dizzy.

The gravel under his feet kept slipping, Lando controlled the vines to resist the impact of the butterfly with one hand, and held Qiao Yi tightly with the other hand, carefully walking down the mountain wall.

Originally, their plan was to use vines to fix it on the cliff and just slide it down.

But now they dare not do so.

Once the fixed place above is cut off by the butterfly, both of them have to finish playing.

Murphy's Law states that if there is a chance that something could go wrong, no matter how small the chance, it will always happen.

When Joe felt the rocks under his feet loosen, he was very calm and even wanted to laugh a little.

He let go of Lando's hand.

Because on this rugged rock path less than a foot wide, the weight of his fall would definitely drag Lando down too.

click

The rock shattered.

As soon as Joe felt empty under his feet, he saw Lando's pupils suddenly narrowed.

Then came the fall and the sound of the wind.

will i go home

Or... just disappear?

Someone was calling Qiao Yi's name, but it was obscured by the sound of wind and beating heart.

In the somewhat blurred vision, a group of golden meteors were chasing towards him like chasing the moon.

When he was hugged into a familiar embrace with the scent of grass and trees, Joe felt a lump in his throat.

... damn it.

I let you live, why do you jump off?

Martyrdom?

Joe bit on Lando's lip viciously, his red eyes fixed on Lando's eyes, ready to face the last pain of being alive.

however,

A few seconds passed,

...nothing happened.

Silver lines appeared on Lando's cheeks again, and in a daze, Joe saw a pair of huge wings of light blooming from behind Lando, and then dissipated in an instant.

But the whistling wind in my ears stopped at some point.

Only his frantic heartbeat proved that he was still alive.

Qiao Yi didn't wake up until he stepped on the solid ground, opened his eyes, and said dryly, "You...can fly?"

"Ah."

"...when will it be?"

"just."

"Ok?"

"When I jumped down and hugged you."

"..."

Joe choked for a moment, and punched Lando on the shoulder, his voice trembling: "Are you fucking crazy?! What if you didn't learn to fly halfway?! What are you doing? One death, one free?"

"I won't let you die," Lando stared into Qiao Yi's eyes seriously, "I'll give you a back, you won't die."

"..."

As soon as Joe looked into those earnest eyes, his throat choked up, and he was suddenly speechless.

He has no doubts at all, if there is no pair of wings in the middle, this bastard will definitely make a meat pad for himself as he said.

...Damn it, idiot.

He hugged Lando hard, and bit his soft lips until he tasted a trace of blood.

Breathing apart, foreheads touched, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

A madman and a fool,

It's quite a match.

Butterfly didn't chase down, which was finally another happy event.

In short, they all looked a bit embarrassed now, the clothes on their bodies were cut by the butterflies, and there were many wounds on the exposed skin.

Fortunately, the butterfly is not poisonous, otherwise this ups and downs just came out of the wolf's lair and entered the tiger's mouth, and sooner or later he would have a heart attack.

"Want to see the scenery above?" Lando took Qiao Yi's hand, pointing to the sky above his head covered by leaves and branches.

"Huh? What?"

"Hold me tight."

The line of sight gradually rises, through the gaps between the branches, through the layers of trees, the line of sight suppressed by the rich dark green in the forest suddenly becomes clear.

Qiao Yi opened his eyes slightly.

He saw the forest stretching all the way from his feet to the foothills, and he saw patches of farmland at the foothills.

The small houses of farmers and hunters are scattered at the foot of the mountain, and a river meanders through it, extending into the distance.

Qiao Yi could even see the outline of Karnas City that had been shrunk countless times.

Under the golden sunset, everything looks like an old photo, covered with a layer of yellowish fog.

They flew over the forest, the birds flew past them, and the forest deer, who was grazing with their heads down, looked up at the sky...

"Like it?"

Joe nodded: "I like it."

"Where do you like the most? Let's go there."

Qiao Yi curled up his mouth and smiled: "I like you the most."

"..."

The elf's arms holding Qiao Yi tightened a little, and the tips of his ears slowly turned red as he pursed his lips.

……

Ever since the large warehouse at the pier started dumping goods, the lives of merchants who placed large orders with Sirius began to become difficult.

The price is lower than them, the quality is higher than them, the style is more novel than them, and it is called "out of print".

They were helpless under Qiao Yi's dumping strategy.

The labor costs of the female workers in the factory are not cheap. Under Mrs. Sellarel's rule, the rights and interests of the workers have been well protected, and no one dares to blatantly oppress them.

Even if their prices drop again and again in an attempt to restore the market with prices, who can match the efficiency and cost of machine assembly line operations?

Even because of the "out of print", scalpers appeared in the city and began to resell those toys at high prices.

The price on Qiao Yi's side has not risen since it was released from the warehouse. This has stimulated many people who were not interested in this item to start buying it frantically, planning to sell it at a high price in the future to make a difference.

As a result, merchants who placed orders but couldn't sell the goods began to demand refunds from Sirius' factory. Even if they broke the contract and had to pay liquidated damages, it would be less loss than receiving all the goods and throwing them at their hands.

Those smaller merchants can't wait for the craze to pass before putting their stuff on the shelves again. If they don't make any money by throwing things at their hands this month, they will be kicked out by the landlord next month because they can't pay the rent.

Some people even used up their wealth and even borrowed money to order goods from Sirius' factory in order to follow the trend and make a fortune, hoping to catch this wave and make a fortune.

Now, these people are all sitting on wax, including Sirius himself.

At night, when Sirius was tossing and turning with his bloodshot eyes staring at him, his cuckold friend Hall quietly packed up the package while Su Li and her daughter were asleep.

The next day, the windows of Sirius' house were smashed and dirt was thrown on the door.

Now he is squatting at home and dare not go out easily.

The bloated Sirius devoted most of his efforts to the factory, trying to compete with Mrs. Dole.

Most of the merchants' deposits bought raw materials and hired female workers.

Where does he have the money to refund the merchants.

But when he wrapped himself tightly and secretly went to his partner Hall to discuss countermeasures, he met Su Li who was also panicked.

Hall took the remaining money in the factory and Su Li's own coffers and ran away, not even letting go of little Sophia's change box.

The (former) husband and wife looked at each other and became complete idiots.

On the fifth day, angry merchants smashed Sirius' factory and dragged away the raw materials in the warehouse to pay off the debt.

The wages of the female workers were not settled, and they brought the matter to the city lord's mansion.

Sirius sold his merchant ship at a low price, barely settled the wages of the female workers, and boarded the ship heading south in embarrassment.

Su Li's mother and daughter are also accompanying her.

It is said that Sirius was crying and beating his wife at the time: "What a bad idea I told you! What a bad idea I told you! I said a long time ago that dirty money can't be earned!"

And his wife shrugged her shoulders and cried: "Hall told me! He told me that I would definitely make money! Besides, didn't you agree? If you didn't agree to cooperate with him on this project Things won't happen like this!"

And little Sophia hugged the original birthday present bunny, wiped her tears and cried out loudly: "Whoa - I don't want to go to the south! I want to eat cake! I want to buy new dolls! Daddy buy me dolls - woah - "

Sirius, who was buzzed by the little girl's shrill cry, was furious, and slapped his daughter's mouth with a "slap": "Shut up! It's so noisy!"

The little girl who had never been beaten by her father was stunned, her eyes widened and she dared not make a sound.

Su Li quit, and rushed forward with an "Aww" and began to beat Sirius: "You dare to hit my daughter! She is still a child, so small, how can you bear such a heavy hand!"

"Crazy woman! You crazy woman! Get off—"

In short, the scene was once very chaotic.

But as for the fact that they were already divorced because of Su Li's cheating, why are they getting involved again now?

harm.

Forgive her of course.

……

Sirius' farce came to an end, except for adding some gossip and jokes to the residents, there was no further disturbance.

The public's memory is short, and their attention is often easily attracted by another thing.

As for the previous incident, no matter how vigorous the disturbance was, no one would care about it after a month.

It’s just that occasionally people who don’t want to forget mention it, and the public—or the onlookers can only say: Ah, I’ll forget it if you don’t tell me.Has it been so long?

Just like now, in just a few days, the farce of the Sirius family has completely extinguished, and people's conversations have long since shifted to the birthday party of the city lord, Mrs. Cellarelle.

On the day of the birthday party, there will be a full-day floating banquet on the wide street in front of the city lord's mansion, and everyone in the city can go there to eat.

In addition, several almshouses will give porridge for three days at the docks to feed the poor dock workers who barely make a living by resisting cargo.

Qiao Yi and Lando planned to go back after attending the banquet.

For some reason, Qiao Yi always felt that his eyelids were twitching a lot these days.

As the premier large-scale banquet in Canas City, Mrs. Salariel's birthday party is more like a large-scale PY transaction scene to some extent.

Except for the protagonist, Mrs. Serrael, who will appear and say a few routine words, the rest of the time belongs to the businessmen and nobles attending the banquet, who may or may not see people.

The exchange of resources, exchanges of favors, cooperation and confrontation, contacts and temptations are happening all the time in this brightly lit banquet hall.

Compared to this banquet where there were invisible swords and swords between cups and cups, Qiao Yi and Lando agreed that a simple reception in Lenny's Hotel would make people feel more comfortable.

But as Lenny's grandchildren (?)... er, my friend, Mrs. Cerarill's store has been greatly taken care of by Qiao Yi, even if they are juniors, they should come to send congratulatory gifts.

What Qiao Yi sent was a new and most perfect set of porcelain, including tea sets and tableware, as well as a model of the main city of Kanas City made of glass.

What Lando gave was a crescent moon dagger produced by the elves. It was not sharpened, it was just a sacrificial weapon, but this did not prevent it from being extremely delicate.

Lady Cerrael was said to be pleased.

Qiao Yi can see this, because now the glass main city model with a height of more than three meters is placed in the banquet hall, accepting the exclamation and praise of all visitors.

The frosted "Mrs. Dole Congratulations" in the corner of the model made Mrs. Dole popular again.

So much so that during the meal, when they "accidentally" learned that those exquisite porcelains were also from Mrs. Dole, people have calmly accepted the reality.

Since the beginning of this year, Mrs. Dole has gradually appeared in the public eye, and this brand has been creating miracles.

Qiao Yi has no doubt that in the next period of time, several factories in Stormwind will usher in a round of crazy profits.

And now he is sitting with Lando on the highest roof of the City Lord's Mansion watching the moon.

The moon in this world is huge.

Much larger than that of the hometown moon.

As soon as Joe lay on the roof with his arm pillowed, he stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and held it again, as if grasping a shooting star that happened to pass by in the night.

"Lando." Looking at the full moon in the night sky, Joe softly called Lando's name.

Lando held Qiao Yi's hand and replied, "En."

"I'm not Joey." After a moment of silence, Qiao Yi suddenly spoke in a very calm tone.

But in fact, he had no idea what the result would be if he uttered this sentence.

Maybe it was because I drank too much red wine at night, and when my brain got hot, I said it.

But the words had already been uttered, as if the water could not be contained, Qiao Yi could only wait for Lando's answer seemingly calmly.

What will he say?

Will he ask who am I?

Or... Burn me to death as a devil who steals other people's souls?

Qiao Yi's palms were sweating a little, he didn't dare to look at Lando's expression.

However, Lando didn't let go of his hand, but held it even tighter.

As soon as Joe felt that Lando was gently kissing the back of his hand.

Then he heard Lando's light voice: "Yes."

Joe was taken aback.

Um?That's it? ?

He opened his mouth: "...Huh?"

So Lando held Qiao Yi's face and turned him to face himself, looked at Qiao Yi's eyes full of confusion and uncertainty, and bent his lips: "Well, I know."

Qiao Yi's eyes were dazzled by this smile that seemed to melt snow in the spring breeze, and he nodded subconsciously.

Oh, so you know...

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Ok?

What did you say

Qiao Yi licked his somewhat dry mouth: "When... did you know?"

I thought I... shouldn't have revealed anything... right?

The character of the original owner is actually quite similar to him, so even the old Gener and the Dean brothers didn't see anything unusual.

But Qiao Yi discovered at this time that Lando had always called him "Joe Yi" and never mentioned "Stuart".

Lando propped his chin, rubbed his fingers against Qiao Yi's side face, looked into Qiao Yi's eyes and smiled: "Well... the second time we met, the day Kaka snatched your gem."

Joe One: "..."

Darling, did you see it so early?

"Your eyes are different from his...or in other words, different from everyone here." Lando's fingers ran along Qiao Yi's neck, across the collarbone, and landed on Qiao Yi's beating heart: "Your soul is also different."

Qiao Yi looked at Lando in a daze, but didn't say anything.

"My eyes can sometimes see a lot of things that others can't see." Lando withdrew his hand, looked at the bright moon hanging low in the night, pinched Qiao Yi's fingertips: "You are the most unique. "

The two pairs of eyes, one black and one blue, stared at each other for a moment, and they both bent upwards, reflecting each other's shadow and the same galaxy behind them.

"Then let's get to know each other again." Qiao Yi stretched out his hand, eyebrows curved, "I'm Qiao Yi, my surname is Qiao, and my first name is Yi."

"Snapped--"

Two hands clasped.

The elf also laughed, and there seemed to be a river of stars in his blue eyes.

"I'm Lando." After a pause, the elf added: "Joe One's Lando."

Joe One's Lando.
