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

In the blink of an eye, he felt as if his heart had been hit by something, lightly stepping on the clouds, causing the corners of his lips to rise unstoppably.

"Would you mind telling me about your hometown?"

"Hometown? Okay." Joe sat up, stretched his waist, and leaned on Lando's shoulder: "My hometown..."

The night cicadas are sleepy and stop singing, while the summer insects flap their wings and sing to the fluttering fireflies.

The conversation on the roof floated gently in the night wind, and there were a few laughter from time to time.

……

The banquet that lasted for nearly one night finally dissipated slowly at dawn.

When Lenny, who had been chatting with Madam Serrael all night, found Qiao Yi and Lando on the small sofa in the side hall, Qiao Yi was wearing Lando's coat and was sleeping soundly on Lando's shoulder.

Seeing Lenny coming in, Lando put his fingers on his lips and mouthed: "He's asleep."

Lan Ni nodded, pointed to the misty sky outside the window, and then pointed to the door.

That means: time to go.

Lando looked down at Qiao Yi, who looked a little tired and blue, and when he was hesitating whether to wake him up, Qiao Yi's eyelids moved, indicating that he had woken up.

Rubbing his eyes and sitting up, Joe looked out of the window half asleep and half awake: "Hmm... is it dawn?"

"Well, it's time to go."

Qiao Yi rubbed his shoulders, stood up and stretched a lot, straightened his clothes, stood in front of the window and looked out for a while, before he was completely awake.

He yawned and looked at the merchants and nobles who came out of the gate one after another and left in a carriage. He said, "They can really endure it. Aren't they afraid of baldness?"

"Let's go, go back to the hotel first, and get a good night's sleep after going back," Lan Ni said.

Her image at this time is no different from that of a 50-[-]-year-old old lady.

All this time, she'd grown old whenever she came to see Lady Selarell.

She had known Madam Serrael for more than 20 years. When she first met at the age of [-], Serrael was still a girl.

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the friend has grown old, but the elf has not changed much.

So Lenny would change her image at the speed of human time every time to take care of Serrael's mood.

Just like she had grown old with Christine.

Even though Mrs. Cellarell said that she never minded her friend's youthful beauty, she preferred to see her friend's youthful appearance.

When the three of them turned the corner, they happened to meet Celariel.

Lady Cellarelle is a regal-looking woman.

She has the elegance of being a noble woman without losing the majesty of being the lord of the city, but when she smiles, she becomes like a gentle spring breeze blowing water, kindly making people want to close.

"Joy Stuart." Mrs. Cellarell smiled at Joe, "I know your father. He is a very kind man."

"Thank you." Qiao Yi nodded slightly.

"Let's go. I'll take you out."

A pair of old sisters walked in front, whispering together and laughing from time to time.

Only in front of Lan Ni, the wife of the city lord is not like the lord of the city, but the lively and agile girl who hadn't grown up 20 years ago.

Qiao Yi and Lando followed silently, their eyes sweeping over the oil paintings hanging in the corridor.

Most are portraits of members of Lady Cellarelle's family.

Qiao Yi's eyes paused on one pair, and his steps slowed down.

The portrait showed two girls who looked alike, and both looked about ten years old.

One of them was in a wheelchair and the other was standing beside her.

In the background are large patches of yellow evening primrose.

Sensing the sound of footsteps behind them, the two in front stopped and turned around.

"What's the matter, Qiao Yi?" Lenny asked.

Joe shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing. Madam was very beautiful when she was young."

"Thank you." Serrael smiled, and walked to the painting: "The one sitting is my sister. She is two years younger than me. At that time, we were in the capital, and I hadn't been granted Karnas yet."

Joe nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The Cerrael family was one of the founding general families of the Norman dynasty.

Later, Serrael's grandfather and father passed away one after another, leaving only two daughters, and the eldest daughter was entrusted with the territory of Kanas City and its surrounding areas.

As for the second daughter, it is said that she stayed in the capital, and other information is not very clear.

Qiao Yi felt that it might be necessary for him to take a trip to the capital.

Evening primrose, cure legs, south.

These key words make it difficult for Joe not to think of Andy's last wish.

October is the Great Court Meeting, and all nobles who have been entrusted with their territories must participate, naturally including the Duke of Stuart, who was enshrined as a "remainer of the former dynasty".

Just at that time, the storm collar should be almost busy, so I can take a trip.

But before returning to Stormwind, Qiao Yi still needs to buy a new shop.

After the glazed ware and porcelain made a big splash at yesterday's banquet, it's time for everyone to see them.

……

On July [-], after almost all the summer grain in Stormland was harvested and dried for storage, Qiao Yi and Lando returned to Stormland.

When they came back, in addition to the Northern Forest, they also towed back a merchant ship that was so familiar to the people of Stormwind—the Sirius' Wealth, which had been transporting food here all year round.

That's right, it was Qiao Yi who bought Sirius' merchant ship.

And after dragging the boat back, Joe threw the boat to the dwarves for modification with a wave of his hand, and he also changed the name of the Wealth.

He thought the "Fuyu" was too vulgar, so he changed the name to

"The rich number".

In this regard, many literate elves expressed doubts about the Duke's aesthetic ability.

The citizens of Stormwind Territory agreed that the change of Lord Lord's name was very good.

Get rich!

What a beautiful vocabulary, this is obviously a beautiful name that makes people laugh even in their dreams!

With the development of the industrial area, more and more elves and dwarves came to and from Stormland, and they also began to try to communicate with the people of Stormwind.

The most direct performance is the children.

In the small square, children of humans, elves and dwarves can often be seen playing together.

The elves with a more cheerful personality have already learned to greet the familiar leaders.

The dwarves with strong hands-on ability are also welcomed by the people in the territory. They are willing to pay the dwarves to help repair some things.

Three different races met and merged in a small manor.

Everything is developing in the ideal direction.

This is Qiao Yi's Utopia, and it is also a paradise for all the people living here. Their love for life will become an endless fire in this land, which will be passed on from generation to generation.

These days, the people of Stormland are very busy.

Busy with the distribution of the gold coins brought back from the Northern Forest, busy with taking care of the autumn grain still growing in the fields, and more importantly, busy with preparing for the lord's coming-of-age ceremony.

The rainy situation has not improved, and Barton will lead the young men up the mountain every day to check and reinforce the embankment built on the bank of the stream that has become a river.

Qiao took the time to visit Miss Panzi (Marsh Ghost). Miss Panzi lives very happily there. It feels so wonderful to be able to fill her stomach and sleep every day without having to go out to find food!

It's just that she seems to be inexplicably restless and unable to sleep recently, which makes Miss Pan very distressed.

In a blink of an eye, time hastily flowed to the 26th.

At night, it rained heavily.

Qiao Yi stood in front of the mirror, looked at the somewhat thin boy in the mirror and smiled.

Then he said to Joyce Stuart in the mirror: "Hey, kid, you're going to be an adult."

But tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony is destined to no longer be held in the open air as usual.

With such a heavy rain, there is a high probability that it will not stop tomorrow.

Jalan Nord...should be busy too?

The envoy-sama is going to be a coming-of-age ceremony too.

As soon as Joe touched the adult dress sewed by some of the best handcrafted women in Stormwind, his eyes softened.

According to the rules of the storm collar, the bar mitzvah gowns are all sewn by the mother.

It's just that Joey's mother left early, so all the older women in Stormwind became Joey's mother.

In the eyes of many elderly citizens, the lord is not only the lord, but also the child they watched grow up.

They watched the child who squatted by the field every day and played mud with the Dean brothers grew up like a young poplar, and gradually turned into a boy of Zhilan Yushu.

And tomorrow, this boy will be an adult.

He will lead the Storm collar to a brighter and more brilliant future.

Barton has been frantically strengthening the embankment these days. Although it rains heavily tonight, the embankment made of reinforced concrete is enough to handle it.

Joe drew the curtains, lay down in bed, extinguished the candles, and closed his eyes.

The night gradually deepened, and the storm collar gradually became quiet, only the sound of rain and the occasional barking of dogs remained.

"What's going on today, the dog has been whining and chirping." In the darkness, the man lying on the bed turned over and muttered.

The wife next to him said "hmm": "The same goes for the chickens. No matter how hard they rush, they don't go back to their nests. I caught them one by one, and they don't stop after they go in."

"Hey, go to sleep, maybe it's rained too much recently. The weather makes it uncomfortable."

"Um……"

The sound gradually died down, becoming a symphony of grunts and breathing.

At the same time, at the edge of the forest not far from Zhuangzi, the marsh ghost lady was full and did not go to sleep as usual, but swam a little anxiously in the swamp, her long tail slapping the mud from time to time , splashing bursts of water.

"Can't sleep...can't sleep...can't sleep..."

The marsh ghost turned around in the heavy rain with its tail in its arms, flapping its fin-shaped ears from time to time, looking towards the direction of the mountain, as if listening carefully, and also as if it was wary of something.

Until the night was as thick as thick ink that could not be melted away, a distant roar suddenly came from the depths of the Daxue Mountain, and the earth seemed to tremble.

The marsh ghost suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, and its round pupils turned into vertical pupils for an instant.

"It's coming."

However, because the distance was too far, the people in Zhuangzi only felt a slight tremor, muttered twice and continued to sleep.

The dog started barking loudly, and the chickens that were finally put in the cage also flopped.

The marsh ghost glanced at the peaceful villa below the mountain from a distance, and swam towards the power grid.

"Crackling-"

"Crackling-"

"Crackling..."

One after another.

……

Qiao Yi was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

When he got dressed and went downstairs, Brother Dean had opened the door, and old Gunner was awake and standing there.

"What's wrong? Who is it?"

Seeing that there was something wrong with the expressions of the three people, Qiao ran down quickly.

Seeing the visitor outside the door, Qiao Yi frowned suddenly.

It's Miss Marsh Ghost.

But her skin was almost burnt, her hair was blown up, and the whole fish was smoking.

Qiao Yi's eyelids started to twitch wildly.

"Ah—ah! On the snow mountain!" Miss Marsh Ghost gestured anxiously, almost crying: "On the mountain! On the mountain! Boom!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time, what's wrong on the mountain?"

"Daxue Mountain, inside—rumbling! And then a lot of water! A lot of water!"

Qiao Yi was stunned for half a second, only to feel a chill rushing to the top of his head in an instant.

"Dean, Roy, knock on the door, door to door! Call everyone up and let them run up the north slope, run as high as you can! Quick!!"

"it is good."

"Grandpa Gena, take her to the north slope first, and wait for the leaders to gather!"

After quickly giving orders, Joe grabbed his coat and was about to rush into the heavy rain.

"Master, where are you going?"

Joe didn't even look back: "Help Dean and the others call someone—don't worry about me, you take the marsh ghost there first!"

As he said that, he took out another paper crane from his arms and quickly explained the situation. The fluorescent little paper crane turned into a streamer of light and broke through the heavy rain towards the depths of the forest.

"Get up! The flood is coming!"

"Don't bring anything! Don't bring anything! The most important thing is to live!"

"The earth dragon in the snowy mountain has turned over, and the flood is about to come down!"

"..."

Throughout the storm collar, the news centered on the lord's mansion, and spread quickly from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and a black crowd rushed towards the hillside to the north of the manor.

The world began to be chaotic.

Until there was a loud rumbling sound in the forest and the ground under their feet trembled, half of the people still failed to withdraw to the north slope.

Including Joe One and Dean Brothers.

The yellow water mixed with mud, gravel and broken trees overflowed the dam and roared towards the manor at the foot of the mountain.

That's too late.

The surviving citizens on the north slope cried out as they watched the crowd below who were about to be washed away.

Rumble

Screams, shouts, cries and the sound of rain intertwined for a moment, and then were swept away by the roaring torrent.

As soon as Joe stood stiffly in place, the whole world seemed to have lost its voice and became silent.

The movement of the flood seems to him to be very slow, very slow...

He saw little Annie being held in the arms of Old Gener who hadn't evacuated, and then they were swept up by the flood together...

He saw the cook in the lord's mansion choke on the water, lifted the crying baby in her arms, and then the water flooded over her head...

He saw the young Werther carrying his handicapped father on his back, pushing his father up the north slope with all his strength, and the people on the north slope hurriedly dragged him up. into the flood...

Someone is calling his name.

But Joe couldn't hear it.

The flood poured down, and he was also involved in it. His whole body was submerged in the water, and everything around his ears became blurred.

【You have a chance to save everyone, do you want to use it now? ] "Yes yes yes yes!"

[This behavior will consume 95 days of life, and your life balance is 95 days, 17 hours and 45 minutes, please confirm whether to use it immediately? ] "..."

Fuck!

[Please confirm whether to use it immediately? 】

"Damn it, use it!"

[It is being executed, please do not exit this interface, and do not act at will. 】Joe Yi felt that his body began to become lighter, and golden light spots escaped from his chest and floated in all directions.

He began to feel that he was getting weaker rapidly.

Fuck the bar mitzvah, it's a fucking surprise gift.

Joe scolded.

pounding,

pounding,

Joe heard his own heartbeat.

Then with a "buzz", arc-shaped light waves rippled from Qiao Yi's body in circles, spreading and spreading...

Bits of golden light rose from the water, connected by those arcs of light.

In those golden lights, the people who were swept up by the flood were protected.

Group after group of rays of light were sent ashore, like a comet flowing backwards in the dark night, the Milky Way hanging upside down, and everyone was staring at the center of the connection of the rays of light—their lord who had just grown up.

At this moment, Qiao Yi was floating in the rain with his eyes half-closed, and his eyes became black in bursts.

The feeling of playing life like this is really uncomfortable, Qiao Yi felt that he was so weak that he might kick his legs and burp at any time.

Then he saw Lando on the shore.

Joe grinned.

This guy came here in a hurry. He didn't have any shoes on, and his clothes were messed up. He only wore an old cape over his pajamas.

The cloak looked familiar, it was the one that had been hanging by Qiao Yi's bedside for a long time.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that Qiao Yi almost fell into a coma, and everyone was finally sent ashore.

The golden waterfall connected between the flood and the shore finally began to slowly dissipate.

The moment the golden light on his body subsided, Qiao Yi fell straight into the raging flood as if weightless.

A loud cry erupted from the shore.

Then everyone saw a ray of light falling on Qiao Yi, and almost instantly, they rushed to Qiao Yi's side and held him firmly in his arms.

With a pale face, Qiao Yi hooked Lando's neck and rubbed against his shoulder: "I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, just for a while..."

Then he closed his eyes.

……

It was still raining when Joe woke up, but it was already daylight.

At this time, many simple sheds have been built on the shore of the north slope to keep out the rain. In a big shed not far away, thick porridge is cooked, and many grain bags are piled up next to it.

As soon as Joe knew those bags, they were bags exclusive to the Jaran Nord elves.

Many people shuttled between the sheds to take care of the injured and sick people, and there were even many elves and dwarves to help.

Joe shook his swollen head and just sat up when he saw Lando come in with a bowl of porridge, his bloodshot eyes slightly opened wide.

"you're awake!"

A sentence was captured by the leaders outside, and Wuyang Wuyang people immediately surrounded them.

"The lord is awake!"

"My lord, you are awake!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The lord is awake!"

"The lord has woken up! Hey, why are you crying?"

"Woo - I'm happy! I'm excited! Can't it be done!! If it wasn't for the lord, I would have died!"

"..."

Surrounded by a large group of men with excited faces and even tears in their eyes, Joe was at a loss for a while holding the porridge bowl.

【Ding--】

[Unlock new data: Spirit of Faith]

【The reason why God is God is because He is believed in by the world.When you are enshrined in the altar by people who devoutly believe in you, you will gain unparalleled magical power! 】【Current value: 25038】

More than 2, almost exactly the number of existing citizens of Stormwind Territory.

Joe blinked and laughed.

these people

Qiao Yi's awakening swept away the gloom of the leaders in an instant.

The people of the Kingdom of Stuart will never be defeated. They will always firmly believe that as long as they are still alive, they can recreate a new and beautiful life with their own hands.

The flood destroyed their homes, but none of the more than [-] people was missing. This is a miracle—no, a miracle.

From then on, Qiao Yi will be the only god they believe in, and they will always be loyal to Qiao Yi, and be his loyal fans who will never betray.

However, Qiao Yi was facing an extremely serious problem at this time.

Now, according to his life balance, he has just 11 hours, 4 minutes and 6 seconds left to live.

Emmmm......

Isn't it unrealistic to spend half a day looking for a new illustrated book to continue life...

The author has something to say: he! he! he!

Will definitely stick to the end!I will! I will!

Important things are said three times! !

Next is the customary segment:

Grandma stewed pig's trotters and asked my mother and I to eat them.

Mom picked up a piece and put it in my bowl: You are ugly, you eat more, this beauty.

I:? ? ?

Fine.

So I also picked a piece for my mother: Mom, you should eat more, after all, I will follow you.

Mom: smile.jpg.

Grandma: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oye!I am the legendary black-hearted little padded jacket!
