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

Surrounded by a flock of ominous crows is a terrible feeling.

Manlu swears, this is definitely the worst letter he has ever sent.

The small pier is so dirty and dilapidated that there is nowhere to go, the poor ghost lord who has no oil and water to wipe, and is even attacked by crows when he leaves.

He decided to go back to the emperor and tell the emperor how disrespectful the subjects here were to him, the envoy representing the empire.

Disrespecting the envoy means disrespecting the emperor!

The narrow-minded emperor would not let them go. He once used this method to punish three little lords who were unwilling to give him gifts.

Since then, no one has dared to disrespect him.

But now, he has to deal with these damned crows here.

Those goddamn crows were flying and dropping shit on the boat.

Manlu thinks that this matter must be blamed on the sailor Robert Jr. who is setting sail on the deck.

If it hadn't been for this impudent kid climbing up the mast to dismantle the sail, he accidentally fell down and screamed, which disturbed the crows on the cliff, and they wouldn't be entangled by these damn things.

Even if Manlu hid in the cabin, he couldn't avoid the crow's attack.

Those wicked little things actually rushed into the wing room to shit!

In a fit of rage, Manlu threw the little black and thin sailor off the boat and into the rough sea.

"Go to hell! You only know about troublemakers all day long!"

Manlu wiped the reincarnation of birds and grains on his face with a veil, and shouted at Little Robert struggling in the waves with his thick neck.

"Little Robert! Little Robert—" The old team leader in charge of the sailors shouted on the lever, sweating profusely: "Master Messenger, he signed a contract with us, you can't—"

"Contract? What contract? Isn't it just that you have to lose money if you die?" Man Lu snorted and interrupted the old team leader.

Then he took out a few gold coins from his sleeve, waved them in front of the old team leader, and threw them on Class A, squinting at him from the corner of his eyes: "Is that enough?"

The sound of gold coins falling on the deck was crisp.

The old man looked at the gleaming gold coins on the ground, his chapped lips twitched a few times.

Even if Robert Jr. died, the money he needed to pay to Robert Jr.'s parents was only two gold coins.

The remaining three coins, he can use to repay the wine money and part of the gambling debt owed by his son...

"Why, too little?" Manlu looked at the silent old team leader, looked at the little Robert who was struggling in the sea, and turned the huge gem ring on his finger: "Or, if I pull him up, where are you?" Go to sea?"

"No... no. Enough, enough."

The old man squatted down, picked up the gold coins stained with bird droppings on the deck, wiped them carefully with the hem of his clothes, and put them into his pocket.

He took one last look at little Robert struggling in the sea, his head drooping deeply.

sorry.The people in the casino said that if he didn't pay back the money within half a month, his son's hand would be chopped off...

The big ship slowly left the bay and sailed towards the distant horizon.

After circling for a while, the crows dispersed and disappeared into the cliff forest.

Qiao Yi, who had witnessed the whole process, rubbed his sore eyes.

Although Lenny's thank you gave him superhuman long-sightedness, it would be uncomfortable after a long time.

What's more, he saw things that made him even more uncomfortable.

The distance was too far, and Qiao Yi couldn't untie his lips, but he could still roughly see what was going on.

Sami has already taken a few people to row the boat to rescue people, hoping that the guy who was thrown down can survive.

Qiao Yi felt a little guilty about this.

If he hadn't played tricks on the messenger with the crow, the sailor would not have been angered and thrown overboard.

Watching the excitement turned into witnessing a murder case, Qiao Yi had no interest in watching, and walked down the mountain without interest.

Lando held Qiao Yi's hand and rubbed Qiao Yi's hair: "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much."

Lando, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, is a little shorter than Qiao Yi, and Qiao Yi can see Lando's blue eyes and smooth forehead without looking up.

Joe pursed his lips and looked at Lando, then lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly.

If the sailor hadn't survived, he probably felt that he killed him. In this world, human life is never worth anything.

But Qiao Yi, who was born under the red flag since childhood, may never agree with this.

When Qiao Yi and Lando went down the mountain and returned to the pier, Sammy, who had gone to save people, had already returned.

The black and thin boy who survived nine deaths on the sick ship in the past looks much stronger now.

He is now the captain of the dock patrol team, leading seven or eight half-year-old boys to maintain the security of the dock.Because of his good water quality, he often helps Barton train new sailors.

Fortunately, the sailor survived.

This made Joe breathe a sigh of relief.

But his arm was broken when he fell from the mast, and Sammy tied it to his chest with rags.

"Thank you! Your kind lord!"

The black and thin boy knelt on the ground, stuttering and staring at the opening on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

His Excellency the Duke came to see him in person!This is something little Robert dared not even dream of!While on the ship, the Messenger will treat them like a dog.

"...You get up first." Qiao Yi was still not used to this kind of kneeling, and touched his nose: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"I... my name is Robert, and I am 15 years old today."

Still a child.

Qiao Yi sighed: "Where is your home? I'm going to the south in a few days, and I can bring you back."

"Is it really possible!" Little Robert raised his head in surprise, "My home is in Baishuiling on the Cassia Peninsula, and my father is a fisherman there."

Joe rubbed his head, turned his head and asked Lando quietly: "...Where is Bai Shuiling?"

Lando blinked and blinked: "?"

He really has no concept of the human kingdom and territory. The farthest place that the Jalan Nord elves, who are habitually housebound, have been to is probably the city of Karnas.

Joe One: "..."

...What should I do? Just ask little Robert where Baishui is, isn't it too lacking of dignity as a lord?

"Are you going to the Royal Capital to attend the Imperial Court Meeting? Baishuiling is just to the northeast of the Royal Capital, very close! If you go to the Royal Capital, you can choose to disembark at Baishuiling!"

Maybe Qiao Yi's age and appearance didn't have much offensive power, so little Robert became bolder for a while, which just resolved Qiao Yi's embarrassment.

Qiao Yi pondered for a moment, then patted little Robert on the shoulder: "Then you can stay here first, recuperate well, and follow us south in a few days."

Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west.

Anyway, I was going to pass by there, and it was a matter of passing by.What's more, this child suffered an indiscriminate disaster entirely because of himself.

"Thank you, Lord Lord! Thank you!" Little Robert looked very excited: "You are the kindest Lord Lord I have ever seen except the Lord of Lorraine in the Cassia Peninsula! The God of Light will bless you!"

"..." Qiao choked for a moment, waved his hands, and didn't look back.

However, Cassia Peninsula?

A bit familiar.Have you heard of this place before...?

……

The preparations for going south were very complicated, and the journey was very long. They had to drift at sea for at least half a month before arriving at Baishuiling on the Cassia Peninsula, and then they had to walk four or five days by land to reach the capital.

The Northern Forest of the Stormland and the Rich Wealth bought from Sirius were still used to transport goods. Qiao Yi finally remembered the small warship his grandfather gave him—the Thorn Rose.

Small in size and fast in speed, the hull is extremely strong, and it does not require a lot of manpower to operate, so it is very suitable for this trip.

It took three days to prepare clothes, food, fresh water, tribute to the king, and other miscellaneous things.

Before leaving, Qiao Yi left behind his wine brewing and alcohol distillation technology.

The autumn grain has been put into storage, and the drinks and drinks can finally be put into research and development.Since the elves have experience in wine making, Qiao Yi also hired some elves to help after signing a non-disclosure agreement.

After the reconstruction work was completed, the factory operations in the territory were back on track. The goods left Baishi Bay in a steady stream, and when they came back, they were full of raw materials and gold coins.

Porcelain and glass products from Stormland have become luxuries sought after by the upper class in Karnas City and several nearby cities. This trend is still extending to the south with the flow of businessmen, and even sold as far as the royal capital.

The first batch of various snacks from the food factory: potato chips, French fries, biscuits, etc., have been sold in the newly opened [Mrs. With the autumn harvest, they wantonly purchased grain as raw materials.

Not long ago, Qiao Yi also bought Chinese weaving and dress illustrations from the mall, as well as many perfume formulas. In the near future, Mrs. Dole's dress branch is urgently needed to open.

On the morning of her departure, Penny rushed to the pier with a huge box in her arms.

Inside the box was a custom-made dress for Kanas City Lord and his wife—they also received the invitation.

According to Lenny's letter, the damned courier also took away a set of celadon tea sets and a bottle of moonshine that were treasured in the house of Mrs. Cellarell.

But these are the minutiae, don't mention it.

In fact, Qiao Yi didn't want to go to the king of the south after spending half a month on the sea in a carriage that could knock people's buttocks into eight petals for several days.

The current hot water and heating systems in the lord's mansion made Qiao Yi really want to stay at home for a whole winter.

And he also planned to turn on the heating in the homes of tens of thousands of residents in the territory before the first snow in winter came.

Without heating, how do you live in winter?Are you upright?

Therefore, in the current storm collar, there will be bread, gold coins, and heating.

It was already a little cold in the storm collar at the end of October. Qiao Yi was wearing a soft cloak and stood on the low slope on the west side of the bay, looking at the busy and prosperous pier.

The Northern Forest was moored there, and the workers were sweating profusely loading cargo onto the ship.

On the other side of the unfinished new pier, the men shouted loudly and waved hammers over and over again to level the ground.

Workers pushing cement and bricks on a wheelbarrow shuttled among the men carrying the boxes. Werther and his sister Anne set up a small water stall nearby, and they could get a big drink for only two copper coins. Sweet honey water, it seems that the business is very good.

Stormland is frantically collecting money from the south to develop itself at an unprecedented speed.

And a year ago, this place was so desolate that even pirates didn't bother to come to rob and collect protection fees.

Haishizi on the other side has now developed into a small fixed market with many square brick houses.

As soon as Joe walked into the crowded market.

Now there are many kinds of goods here, and they are also refined.

This is determined by market demand.The citizens of Stormwind, who can be said to have gotten rich overnight, no longer want those crude and low-quality things. They can live a better life, so goods that could not be sold here before continue to appear continuously.

There were four or five sugar stalls alone.

Qiao Yi stopped in front of one of the stalls.

The stall owner is an old acquaintance, Old John who has been selling sugar here for many years.

The burnt yellow sugar cubes were neatly stacked on the linen cloth, Qiao Yi naturally remembered the piece of sugar that Lando gave him a long time ago.

After eating that piece of candy, he knew Lando's name.

So even the wind that day seemed to have a touch of sweetness.

When Joe returned to the pier with two taels of caramel, he noticed Lando at a glance.

Lando was wearing a white hooded cloak with gold trim, and his light golden long hair was neatly tied into a ponytail behind his head, looking heroic and clean.

On the busy and messy pier, he is like a golden and quiet light alone.

"The boat is about to sail." Then the light waved to Joe, and suddenly merged into the hustle and bustle of fireworks.

"Here we come." Qiao Yi replied, bending his eyes and smiling.

Lando took Qiao Yi's hand, "What's so happy about it?"

Joe looked at Lando from one side, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became wider: "Lando."

"Ok?"

"I really like you!"

Lando: "..."

Lando: "Yeah." (////-////)

As soon as Joe saw Lando's ear tips that suddenly turned red, he leaned over and kissed Lando's pointed ears: "I will be very happy to see you."

Then Lando's whole head turned red.

Qiao Yi: Cute, I want to...cough cough.

"Joe one..."

Lando pulled Joe Yi's hand from his shoulder and held it in his palm, with a helpless tone.

He should have gotten used to Joe's habit of lighting a fire when he made a habit of committing a crime, but he would be scared to death when the fire burned himself.

The ship soon left the port and sailed to the vast sea.

Although the weather was fine, it was still very windy on deck.

Qiao Yi leaned against the railing of the bow and watched the storm collar gradually recede into a small point.

The wind had already brought some cold air from the Great Snow Mountain in the north, and after a while, the tip of Qiao Yi's nose turned red.

With a cloak on, Joe turned around and saw Lando.

The sea breeze came with slightly cold humidity, Lando squeezed Joe Yi's cold fingertips, lowered his eyes and helped Joe fasten the tie of the collar of the cloak.

Lando's eyelashes were long, and when his eyes were lowered, they were like a light cloud half-hiding the bright moon.

very close.

Joe could smell Lando's body and feel his breath without looking down.

The warm and soft lips were slightly pressed together, as long as Qiao leaned over a little, he could taste the taste of those two pink and white petals.

As if bewitched by something, Qiao Yi moved closer.

But when they were only a short distance away, Qiao Yi's gaze collided with Lando's raised eyes.

It was as if he had suddenly fallen into a warm sea, and the waves gently licked his ankles.

Qiao Yiqiang pressed his heart that was beating wildly. He had to admit that even after 50 or 100 years, Lando's eyes would always be the gravitational spell that he couldn't escape.

There is no one else like Lando, when he is not smiling, his eyes are full of cool breeze and bright moon, and when he smiles, it is like the spring breeze melting snow, his gentleness is outrageous.

Then those eyes blinked.

Qiao Yi suddenly turned his head to look at the vast sea, and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth in a disguised manner.

dying.

Is he sick? He looks so good!

"Cough, candy?" Joe asked as he took a piece out of the bag.

Lando nodded.

Then come closer.

Soft and warm.

As soon as Qiao looked at the pair of beautiful eyes close at hand, he was dumbfounded.

The sea breeze entangled Qiao Yi's black hair, swept over Lando's eyebrows, and the red and white cloaks rolled together intimately, like flowers blooming on the bow of a ship.

Qiao Yi pursed his lips until the warm breath sprayed on his face was far away, his face blushed as if he couldn't recover.

"Well, it's pretty sweet."

Lando touched the base of Joe's hot ears, but he didn't know if he was talking about sugar or something else.

"..."

"Then what. It's cold outside, so I'll go back first."

Qiao Yi ran away like a fried cat.

Lando touched his mouth and curled his brows and eyes with a smile.

It wasn't until Qiao Yi's figure disappeared that Lando slowly restrained his expression, his complexion quickly turned pale, and he coughed lightly with his hands on his lips.

Then when he raised his hand, a bright red glaring flashed on his face.

The palms are empty.

Even if Qiao Yi's medicine can slowly replenish his mental strength, he can't get back the missing half of his soul body, and his palms may never grow green vines again.
