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

From the night when he bumped into the pirate head-on, Joe knew that he loved Lando.

The kind of love that wants to love for a lifetime.

The scar on his shoulder still aches faintly in rainy weather, and the long scars crawl on his thighs and arms like centipedes.

He suffered from frostbite on Daxue Mountain for a long time, and when he came down from the mountain, his fingers and toes were almost dead.

But he never regretted it, because Lando deserved it.

He should have done something to save his lover who risked his life.

Lando didn't wake up.

The old priest said that his body was too exhausted and needed rest.

But how long it will take, the old priest can't give an answer.

But the good news is that Lando will respond to external stimuli.

Whenever Joe went to see him in Baixi Valley, the strong life force surging in him would be much calmer.

Time is like fine sand that can't be held in the palm of your hand, and it flows away from your fingers unconsciously.

The south was completely plunged into war, wars were raging everywhere, and the conflict between the Holy See and the holy flame became more and more acute. When the upper-class nobles were carnival in the deep house, a large number of refugees died in exile.

The death of the Red Skull on Raven Island caused a long period of confusion. In the end, the Red Skull's ships and manpower were divided, and the territory was divided between the Fifth Island and the Seventh Island.

The flashing plains are thawing rapidly, and the refugees who came to the north to beg for a living have obtained the right to lease the land as they wished, and the green fields are rapidly eroding the white ice fields.

The Jalan Nord elves seemed to be reborn. More and more elves were able to control the lost and recovered ancient magic, and some elves began to move out of White Brook Valley and live in Stormwind Collar.

Thermal weapons began to appear on the production line in the dwarf workshop, and the storm collar in the northern part of the country suddenly started a steam revolution.

When the first batch of high-strength spirits came out of the cellar, the Simon family pulled a whole ship of gold coins, swallowed all the inventory in one go, and took over the business of selling wine at sea.

And Qiao Yi, besides earning a lot of money, also became very busy.

But no matter how busy he was, Qiao Yi still insisted on coming to the tree house to sit with Lando every day.

The elf was sleeping peacefully. Joe sat on one side, stroking Lando's warm hand over and over again, as if he was chatting normally, and reported with great interest how much wasteland he had reclaimed this month, how many gold coins he had earned, and how much money he had earned today. Yue was bullying Xiao Fei again, and then was beaten up by Yun Duo and other miscellaneous things.

Pieces of piles, no matter how big or small.

It's just that sometimes he would suddenly stop talking while talking, the stars in his eyes would gradually dim, and he would look lonely at the elf's exquisite eyebrows and eyes.

Then he pressed his forehead against the elf's and let out a slight sigh.

"Lando, when will you wake up..."

"……I miss you so much."

And this wait is four years.

The rebellion in the south was suppressed by the royal family and ignited again and again. Both the rebels and the kingdom fell into deep fatigue.

And the storm that has been opened has money, food, and land, and has long become the Eden of people's dreams. A large number of people began to migrate to the north.

Four years later, Stormland is no longer the poorest territory. On the contrary, the prosperity here is close to that of Olga City, which is gradually declining.

Here is the largest port in the whole continent, the most prosperous business, the most advanced technology, and... the strongest warship!

Devil's Beach, which is far away from Baishi Bay, the commercial bay, has now become the military port of the Stormland. The first steam-powered artillery ship of the Stormland was launched for the first time today.

Once this steel monster enters the sea, it will be a nightmare for all wind sailing ships on the sea.

It is not that the royal family has not noticed the sudden rise of the Stormland, but they have long been overwhelmed by themselves, and it is difficult to allocate energy to control the north.

This year, the 23-year-old Qiao Yi lost his immature and youthful spirit, and his height jumped to 1.8 meters [-], truly looking like a leader.

After finishing the work at hand, Joe came to the tree house as a routine. He has been with Lando for four years, rain or shine.

Bill finally made a successful proposal to Irris, and today is their engagement ceremony.

As soon as Joe sat on the platform outside the tree house, looking at the altar under the tree that was brightly lit at dusk, Bill was holding the hand of his fiancée Ilyris, smiling like a fool.

Lando's hair has grown very long, and Qiao Yi combs Lando's hair smoothly every day, and even learned a hundred ways to tie small braids out of boredom.

"The Overwatch was launched today. It's a steam-powered ship with 28 cannons." Qiao Yi pinched Lando's fingertips and trimmed Lando's nails with nail clippers: "If there is no problem in the sea trial in a few days, we will Go blow up Crow Island."

Lando's fingers are beautiful, slender fingers with well-defined joints, fingertips covered with shell-like light pink nails.

Shhh-bang

A few fireworks exploded in the sky outside the canopy, and the engagement ceremony under the tree came to a climax.

Joe pinched Lando's fingertips and looked at the sky where the streamer was splashing.

"Lando, when will you marry me?"

"..."

There was no answer, only the sound of gentle breathing sounded beside him.

Qiao Yi sighed in the dark, picked Lando up and put him back on the bed, his movements were cautious, as if he was holding a fragile and peerless treasure.

Then he leaned over and placed a feather-like kiss on Lando's soft lips.

"Sleeping Beauty, the prince of the Stuart Kingdom has come to kiss you, why don't you wake up?"

The elf's breath surged.

As soon as Joe knew it, Lando heard it.

Carefully covering Lando with the quilt and tucking in the corners of the quilt, Joe touched Lando's cheek: "Okay, it's getting dark, I have to go back. I'll see you tomorrow."

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

However, before he could take two steps, his body froze suddenly.

Joe lowered his head.

An emerald green vine was wrapped around his wrist at some point.

The other end of the vine spread out from Lando's palm.

"Lan, Lando?"

As soon as Joe turned his head, his voice was unbelievable.

Sha

As if responding to him, the vine rubbed against his wrist.

After four years of waiting and waiting, rain or shine, I finally got a clear response.

Qiao Yi's eyes turned red in an instant.

He returned to Lando, looked at Lando's sleeping face as soft as a cat: "You don't want me to go?"

The vines rubbed against Qiao Yi's wrist, then meandered upwards, gently stroking the little water color that fell down Qiao Yi's cheek.

Then it dangled in front of Qiao Yi's eyes, trembling and working hard for a while, and finally with a "poof", a small bright yellow flower bloomed with difficulty.

Don't cry, let me show you a little flower.

As soon as Qiao looked at the wobbly little ugly and cute little flower in front of him, he pursed his lips and suddenly smiled.

In the past, when Lando got drunk and made him angry, he coaxed him in the same way.

...it will bloom amazingly!

"Then...will I accompany you tonight?"

As soon as the words fell, the vines entangled Qiao Yi and dragged him to the inner side of the bed.

As soon as Joe looked at Lando's profile, his heart was so soft that it melted into a puddle of water.

"Okay, I'm staying."

The vine twisted the leaves and twirled around Qiao Yi's wrist, forcing Qiao Yi's arm to rest on Lando's body.

Qiao Yi thought it was funny, cute and distressed.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Lando in his arms, rubbing the top of his hair: "Okay, my boy, I won't leave."

"~"

The rattan shook the leaves cheerfully, and rubbed against Qiao Yi's cheek, looking very happy.

"Then I'll close my eyes, I still have work to do tomorrow."

"~"

"Then, good night."

"~"

……

The lord seems to be in a particularly good mood recently.

This is the result of careful observation by all the citizens.

The adult lord became more and more majestic. It was fine when he was not working, but once he was working, his whole body would enter a state of low pressure. Even the lively and bold little Robert didn't dare to make a mistake.

But recently, when they went to report on their work, they clearly felt that the lord's attitude was much gentler, and he was not even angry if someone accidentally made a mistake at work.

He even patted the guy on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone is too busy recently, and mistakes are inevitable. Go back and rest for a day, and come back to work with enough energy."

The attitude is too weird and abnormal.

So much so that the little clerk almost cried out of fright, thinking that the lord was laughing out of anger, which meant that he had been fired by the government affairs office of the lord's mansion and told him to pack up and leave.

It wasn't until he was about to pack up his things and leave, that he met Penny, who was already the head of the Political Affairs Office, and after explaining it, he got positive feedback from Penny, and he tremblingly put down the document in his hand.

As for the culprit, Qiao Yi, he had already gone to Baixi Valley to play with the vines.

In the year 1030 of the new calendar, on August [-]th, Storm Leader's first steam-powered artillery warship successfully sailed.

Dazzling fireworks exploded over Devil's Beach for exactly one day, and the cheers of the local people resounded through the sky.

The little girl with shofar braids pointed at the steel giant slowly returning from the sea, raised her head and blinked her big eyes: "Dad, what are the round windows on that big boat for?"

The girl's father is a technician at the Military Harbor Shipyard. He stroked the girl's head and said proudly, "That's a cannon. Anyone who bullies us will be driven away by them!"

The girl looked at the watch and lowered her head: "Sister Taxi from the south is so pitiful. She said that the south can't get enough to eat, and her family members have died, but the emperor doesn't care. Dad, the emperor in the south is far worse than the lord." Now, is he a bad guy?"

"Yes, he's a bad guy."

"Then, can the Watchman beat bad guys?"

The father picked up his little daughter and looked to the south: "Of course!"

"Okay! Hit the bad guy!"

The girl's cheers startled a skylark perched on a branch.

Skylark passed through the busy New Stormwind City, circled a few times in mid-air, and landed on a window sill.

"Cuckoo!"

A round face with big eyes suddenly appeared in the window, and the poor Skylark was frightened away again.

"Xiao Fei, don't make noise."

A ball of paper flew over from the room and landed lightly on the round-faced fat bird's fuss bag.

"Goo."

The fat bird plucked at its feathers with its claws, and flew away with difficulty flapping its wings.

Yes, thank God, under Huiyue's constant pursuit and torture, the flightless chicken Xiaofei finally managed to learn to fly.

It's just that the food in the lord's mansion is too good and he eats too much fat, so he is extraordinarily funny and clumsy when flying.

Joe slumped in the sofa chair, with a thick stack of documents piled up on the table in front of him.

The modern and efficient governance method allowed Stormland to develop extremely fast, but it also made Qiao Yi, who had to make guiding documents for everything, feel physically and mentally exhausted.

He hadn't eaten for a whole day. His previous breakfast and lunch were all on the coffee table on the other side of the office. He hadn't eaten a bite, and it was already cold.

Qiao Yi, who suddenly wanted to eat roast chicken, asked Dean to go to the restaurant street to order one, and now the time should be almost up.After eating the chicken, he still has to go to Baixi Valley to see Lando.

The current urban style of New Stormwind City is difficult to make a clear definition. It seems that two completely different time and space merge here, conflicting with each other but strangely reaching a certain kind of harmony.

——For example, the red-bearded dwarves with big knives and horned hats passing each other on the street, and the full-time food delivery staff in yellow vests.

Just when Qiao Yi was so hungry that his head was dizzy, there was finally a knock on the office door.

"Hi, your order."

The voice was somewhat familiar, but Qiao Yi, who was so hungry that his eyes glowed green, couldn't care less about watching people. His eyes were all glued to the steaming chicken in the delivery man's hand.

"thank you."

As soon as Joe took the roast chicken, he turned his back and opened the paper bag, tore off a chicken leg and gnawed on the spot.

Fragrant!

There seemed to be a chuckle coming from behind.

Joe paused when he gnawed on the chicken leg.

Why hasn't the delivery man left yet?Anything else?

As soon as Joe turned around, he opened his mouth: "You..."

Then suddenly the whole person froze in place, and the roast chicken in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

There was a buzzing sound in his head, and his vision suddenly blurred.

The person at the door stood against the light, and the burning cloud behind him reflected his golden hair into a brilliant golden red, and his entire outline was coated with a layer of brilliant gold.

It seems to be glowing.

Then the elf walked towards him step by step under the warm setting sun in August, lowered his head and gently wiped the sudden turbulent tears on Qiao Yi's face, and hugged him into his arms.

"Sorry……"

"sorry to keep you waiting."
