102 The Job of the Castle Lord's Girl (2)
The blonde young man in front of him, Lance Jepéry, has been here since the beginning of April. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Danica will not forget what she saw that day in the back mountain, which is below the border forest with the Karanslan Empire. At that time, I was helping to collect honey in the mountains, and then I witnessed a large purple light suddenly appearing in the border forest, and after the purple light disappeared, most of the border forest was gone.
Afterwards, Danica discovers a young man, Lance, and takes him in because there is nowhere else to go.
Danica will not think recklessly, the real reason for taking in Lance is the Sword of Thunder carried by Lance, even if the risk is very high, Danica still feels that she can't easily let go of the guy who has the Excalibur.
So, Lance stayed like this, and in order to hide his identity, Lance dyed his hair red, made up a false identity, and stayed in this poor mountain town as Danica's distant cousin.
Danica Rankino is the lord of this mountain city, the youngest ever to be the lord of the castle.
That scene flashed back in my mind, and in a blink of an eye, so many things happened.
Danica followed Lance and walked back, back to the temporary City Lord's Mansion, back to his room, and after entering the room, he was told by Lance again to rest well, and the four words were repeated more than once.
Close the door and cut it off from the outside.
(Tomorrow's meeting...... )
Danica heard Lance's footsteps drift away, and turned to look at her neatly folded bed.
"Rest. ”
******
After a day of rest, Danica's face regained a little blood, and her spirits looked better than usual.
Walking out the door, Danica ran into Xia Li, who was walking towards her with a pot of delicate blue moon season.
Xia Li's sharp eyes spotted Danica first and said hello to her.
"Good morning, Danica. ”
The pot of flowers that Xia Li was holding in her hand should have just been watered, because there were still crystal clear droplets on the petals, it was quietly enjoying the touch of the sun, and Danica's eyes were first attracted by it.
"What a beautiful flower, morning, Charlie. ”
Danica hadn't shown emotion in days before anyone else, and a smile finally appeared on her face as she stared at the pot.
Xia Li also smiled: "It's my treasure, it's great to see Danica and you like it too, I'll lend it to you for a few days, put it on the work table, it can help relieve your stress." ”
"Lend it to me? Isn't it your treasure?"
Xia Li shook her head, restrained her smile, looked at her with a little nervousness, and said carefully: "Don't get me wrong, I just hope it can help you, you can trust me, I have no ill intentions, and I can also swear to the gods of the four directions." ”
"I didn't doubt you. Probably remembering something, Danica regained her cold expression, looked at Xia Li, and made a request: "It's not too early, I'm going to a meeting, can you send this pot of flowers to my room?"
"Absolutely. ”
After saying goodbye to Charlie, Danica continued to walk forward, not hearing Charly's whisper.
"I thought I could get along with her. ”
Danica was a little delayed, and because she was worried about being late, she ran briskly and spent a few minutes coming to the tent area where the residents lived, the largest tent in the tent area, where the meeting was held.
This is a place for everyone, and during the meeting, people will stand outside and listen to the content of the meeting, and learn more about the future of this mountain town from the meeting.
At the door of the tent, Paz was holding a stack of white papers, found Danica, and couldn't help but yell at her.
"Why did you come so late? Lance went ahead of you. ”
"What are you posting?"
"Some of the reports of the meeting, after the meeting, you still need to sign them. ”
"Who else but Lance and Daun will come? I mean the outsiders. ”
"Outsiders? Do you mean Master Swide, or do you mean the Dragon Slayer Knight, and why do you talk about them?"
"Forget it, I don't want to tell you so much. ”
As soon as the words fell, Paz nodded hurriedly, with a suddenly realized expression.
"I see, in fact, you want to avoid Master Swided! I have been your friend for so many years, how can I not know you!" Then Paz freed up a hand and handed it to Danica, as if he wanted to ask for something.
Danica glared at him and slapped the hand away, "Don't mention the money to me!"
"Ah, angry Danica is so horrible, just kidding, I'm just kidding, who told you to keep your face tense. ”
"I'm angry!" Danica said through gritted teeth.
"Understand, understand, just like me who is greedy for money, I know how important money is to you at this time. It's my fault, I shouldn't have played this joke on you. Paz bowed his head and sincerely apologized, then took out a few coins from his pocket, "These two gold coins are my savings all the time, I lent them to you, don't say I'm greedy." ”
"No, you don't. Danica returned to her usual expression, looked at Paz coldly, crossed Path, didn't want to entangle with him, and entered the tent.
“…… It's really a joke, to be honest, I really don't understand the current Danica. ”
"Lance. Entering the tent, Danica saw Lance, who was sorting out his things for the meeting, and when he heard the sound, he looked back.
"Danica, I'm relieved that your face is finally not so bad. ”
"Are you responsible for the minutes?" Danica walked over to him and glanced at the materials he had put together.
"yes, what?"
"Seriously, don't bother me, not a single typo. ”
"You're too nervous, can you relax?"
"Relax?" Danica's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, I actually wanted to say...... Don't push yourself too hard. ”
"It's not your turn to teach me what I'm doing. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say that. ”
Ten minutes later, the others came one after another, and the members of the meeting, except for the people from the city lord's mansion and a few representatives selected from the residents, were all familiar faces, the head of the orchard, the beekeeper, and an old couple who had lived in the mountain city for fifty years.
At the beginning of the meeting, in addition to those present and those who were outside to observe, an outsider came.
Rock Swider stepped in, nodded to everyone, and sat down in the back row.
The benches arranged in the tent were sat by Lance and Dawn in the first row, the residents' representatives in the second row, and the uninvited guest Rock Swider in the third row.
In front of them, there was a table, and Danica stood in front of it, flipping up the conference materials on the table.
"Thank you all for being here, you can see the progress of this month, but the real problems of the mountain town have not been solved. Our mountain castle needs to be rebuilt, and it will take a lot of money to rebuild, and I would like to say to you that the materials previously used for the castle lord's mansion have been completely used, but, according to calculations, there are 200 houses that need to be completely rebuilt, and 53 houses that can be inhabited by a little more construction. ”
"Let's not talk about this year's harvest, just consider the problem of reconstruction, I gathered the strength of everyone in the city lord's mansion, and finally calculated this amount, the cost of materials to rebuild the mountain city is 188,900 gold coins, plus labor costs, if you invite ordinary people to rebuild the house, it will take at least half a year. If you hire a magician, you can restore the mountain castle to its original appearance within a month, of course, the price of a magician is more expensive than that of ordinary people, and it is ......"
Danica lowered her head, looked at the open information, her hands suddenly trembled, and even her voice became strange, as if she was suppressing something, anger? or sadness?
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry to start by saying sorry to you. ”
"I can't give up my self-esteem...... Including my father, the thing I hate the most is being insulted when my father is gone. ”
"Last week, I wrote a letter to the Imperial City, and yesterday morning, I received a reply. ”
"The content of the reply was full of insults and ridicule for me and my father......"
Danica gritted her teeth in hatred, and even her voice sounded trembling, but she lowered her head, and no one saw her expression.
"I endured to see the end, I was so ridiculous, I was able to see the last ......"
"At the end of the letter, they made a condition that if I completed it, I would get 100,000 gold coins. ”
"One hundred thousand gold coins, half of the problem of the mountain city can be solved...... However, I can't. ”
"I can't do it anyway, because ...... Because...... They asked me to use a notebook and write all kinds of insults to my father on every page of the notebook...... This was beyond the limits of what I could bear, and I tore the letter to shreds, and it was very shredded......"
Danica lifted her face and couldn't hold back her tears even if she covered it with her hands.
"Danica!"
(Yezi is in a better state today~ and then another change, in addition, there is a sentence that I have wanted to say for a long time.) Danica is the female version of Neil, and Neil is the male version of Danica~)
