136 A false alarm (II)
After the sound sounded, the glittering swirls of color vanished, and the myriad magical elements dissipated, and the sustained entities dissipated, returning to their original forms that were imperceptible to the eye, turning into a part of the air and floating across the vast sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Shadow Dragon and the Lightning Dragon flew away and left the place, and the earthquake they caused was gone.
Although the remaining house was not much better, Danica watched it all in amazement, and the two monsters actually left without attacking the mountain town.
Danica was pleased with the fact, but she didn't feel real.
Those two dragons didn't seem to look like dragons, beyond what they usually knew about dragons.
Seeing that the two dragons had gone away, they turned into two small black dots in the distant sky, and gradually disappeared.
Danica breathed a sigh of relief, everything that had just happened was dangerous, and the most fortunate thing was that Ridimpa City had escaped a catastrophe and there were no casualties. Danica looked at the sky again, thanking the gods in her heart.
Then, Danica heard the voices of Lance and Vance, turned her head to see them running towards her, apparently safe and sound.
"Miss Danica!"
Daun's voice came from nearby, and Daun was safe, and Danica searched for the direction of the voice, and quickly found where Daun was.
Dawn the old butler was buried underneath, and all kinds of furniture fell down during the earthquake, and became in pieces, almost burying Dawn alive in the pit. Fortunately, the pit was not small, and Dawn shrank his body as far back as he could, and the mess just fell a little or so from the front of his eyes, and fortunately, those things did not fall on his head.
Like Danica, Dawn escaped a disaster.
All Dawn could do was call for help from them, and when he fell into the pit, his foot got stuck in it and sprained, and there was no way out for a while.
After Danica arrived, Vance and Lance also arrived, and the three of them worked together to save Daun from below.
"Great! y'all are alright!"
Danica said happily, with a big smile on her face.
"Everyone's alright, Vance, Lance, how did you two get here? ”
"Vance, he's worried about you too much. "We sent the residents to the basement, five basements, just enough to accommodate all the residents, no more and no less, it felt like the gods were helping us," Lance said. It's safe there, and it's far from the earthquake area. We came around from the other side, and it was clearer than you could see that the two monsters were heading towards the back hills, not towards the houses. ”
"Worried that you were in danger, we hurried over. ”
"All in all, great...... I almost thought we were going to die......"
Danica turned her head and looked at Dwayne.
"Daun, the ring isn't broken, is it?"
"Miss Danica, I protect it better than myself, and I'll give you this ring, and the mountain city urgently needs this money. ”
"That's right, we'll have to count how many, Neil will probably have to wait a while. Although it was not an attack, some of the houses were destroyed again, so the reconstruction of the mountain castle has now officially begun!"
"It's officially started?" Lance had some questions, didn't the rebuilding of the mountain town begin early?
Dawn smiled and said to Lance, "It was the lord who left Miss Danica a sum of money to ...... when the two dragons were about to come."
Dawn told him what had just happened, and not only Lance, but even Vance showed a surprised expression.
"Nineteen iron crates with gold coins?"
"The last tin box was supposed to be a gift for Miss Danica. Dawn said.
"It's a lot of money in a short period of time...... Lance was still surprised.
"That ring was given to me before I left on the day Master and Master Lance left to retrieve the Sword of Thunder. "Daun guessed that it should have been prepared by the master in a month, only this explanation, obviously lived in the mountain city for a month, but often did not show up, and occasionally appeared to point out Lance's sword skills, or with Neil and them.
"No matter what it is, Yamashiro needs this money the most!"
"Daun, Lance, I want you two to prepare a plan in the shortest possible time, about the current situation in the mountain town, the houses that have fallen, and what is the situation on the back mountain, I think there must be a lot of trees in the back mountain, especially the bees, you had better find a beekeeper, the reason is not for me. ”
Danica arranges their work next.
"Vance, you go to the neighboring town and inquire about the price of the building materials there, I think it is better to make sure again, the person who handled this before was Christie...... In short, it would be better to reconfirm. ”
"I'm going to look at the residents now and tell them the good news, first of all, the elderly and children must be arranged, and then I will find a few representatives of the residents. Let's all have a meeting to discuss how the funds should be spent. ”
To be honest, Danica didn't know how many gold coins would be in those nineteen iron boxes right now, and she felt a little nervous about having this huge amount of money for the first time and spending it for the first time.
How this money is going to be spent must be carefully considered before a decision can be made.
Alone, Danica would not be able to make up her mind.
And the last iron box, Danica quietly glanced at Daun, according to Daun's character, he would definitely keep this iron box, because it was a gift from Rock Swider to himself.
The iron box containing gemstones, jewelry, and clothes had a different meaning than those gold coins.
Danica was very grateful to Roque for leaving so many things to her, but for the sake of the mountain city, the more money the better, Danica thought that she should find an opportunity to sell the gemstone jewelry, and in order to avoid Daun's suspicion, she should try to keep the clothes as much as possible.
Danika's greatest wish is that this mountain town will become prosperous, everyone will have a smile on their faces, and they will no longer worry about taxes and lack of food, so that this city of Ridimpa can truly develop.
After this false alarm, the residents of Ridingpa returned to their usual lives, but unlike before, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
Lance, too, prepares the plan with the old butler Dawn, and they find the beekeeper.
On the way to the back mountain, Lance said from the bottom of his heart: "I feel a little surprised, I thought she would be angry." ”
Even if the dragon hadn't attacked the mountain city, it would have caused some damage, and Lance felt that with Danica's personality, she would definitely be angry.
"Miss Danica is changing, and to be honest, I'm glad to see her change like this. I believe that they who are not in this world, even Miss Danica's parents will be happy, tribulations will make people grow, Miss Danica is growing in a good way, she is changing. Dawn's fatherly expression was full of relief and joy.
"Dawn, isn't that an exaggeration?"
"Exaggeration, Master Lance, you are not like me, unlike me who has been watching Miss Danica, by her side, every move she makes, every word she says, every decision she makes, I know it clearly. Miss Danica she learned one thing, learned true reason and forgiveness, really learned to look ahead. ”
"Okay......"
Lance noticed that the gushing Daun's eyes even glowed inexplicably, and he was so eager, like seeing his daughter become a perfect and noble lady. In a sense, this old butler is like Danica's father, even if he is not related by blood, he can't change his relationship with Danica.
Lance turned his head sideways and continued his way back to the mountain.
The blonde young man has a deep feeling in his heart, the people around him, the Danica he knows, has changed, but himself, from the day he came to the mountain city to the present, the only change is to dissolve into the environment here and become a part of this place.
What Lance wanted to do most was not yet possible.
Even, he can't pass the level in his heart.
Lance also felt a feeling of being left behind, not only did he not move forward, but he fell behind, deeply behind, and the people around him ran up and overtook him.
A vague, hard to catch, frustration.
When night came, because the dragon descended during the day, the temporary city lord's mansion and the nearby houses were all reduced to a pile of scattered stones, and the residents were safe. Danica organized some people to clean up the area for a few hours, and her own place had to be moved to a tent area on the other side.
Danica stayed up late as usual to prepare for the next day's meeting.
Lance stood outside the tent, shouting Danica's name.
"Danica, I'm here, can I go in now?"
"Come in!"
Lance walked in and saw that it was very shabby, with only a desk, on which Danica was lying on his stomach and writing a book, and there were some materials and books scattered on the floor, as well as some blank paper.
There was a candle on the table, and the dim light reflected her face, like a wax figure in a museum, and it felt unreal.
"Danica, don't you even have a place to sleep?"
If Dawn was here, he would definitely ask this, but Dawn and Vance were helping to boil the medicine because of the events during the day, which caused some elderly people to stay in the basement for a long time and become uncomfortable.
Danica glanced up at him and said casually, "It's okay to do anything like this, I didn't come to you to listen to you ask about this." “
"But let's tidy up these things on the ground. ”
Lance couldn't stand such a mess.
"The Temporary City Lord's Mansion is gone, these are the precious materials that I rescued from there afterwards, most of them can't be found no matter how I find them, my job now is to re-prepare these materials, just like everything I did before was in vain. ”
Danica didn't have time to sort out the rescued materials, so she had to leave them on the ground like this.
"I'll help you. ”
Lance picked up all the materials and books on the floor, dusted them off, and placed them neatly on the table.
"All right! The letter is ready!"
Danica folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Lance.
"You take it, and then go to Paz and ask him where the preparations for tomorrow's meeting are going, and hand him this letter together, this is for Neil and them, they may reach the White Tiger Temple, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with them and miss them. So the letter was sent to the Suzaku Temple, along with the five gold coins, and they were all handed over to Paz. Aside from the cost of sending the letter, the rest is Paz's payment. ”
"Is this a problem? Isn't there the magic item that connects to the Temple of the Four Directions?"
"It's a last resort, Lance, do you know how much a magic crystal or a magic core costs?"
