Chapter 13 Preparations for the Opening of the Establishment

"The counter is here—ah, push it in a little more. "When two different cultures are connected in some way, there is always some kind of influence, some good and some bad - but at least here, the impact is good. After more contact with other forms of development, Gianna finally didn't run around in her mage robes, which were very conspicuous even in Azeroth, although the staff still never left her body - but there is no world that stipulates that women can't carry a cane, right, discriminating against people with disabilities? But Gianna's dress today will probably disappoint many people. Especially the young people who passed by here a few days ago, Zhao Mian often saw them looking across the street towards his house these days - if you want to describe it, it can be summed up in one sentence: easy to move, not afraid of getting dirty. A one-piece smock completely concealed Gianna's figure, and there were some stains on the dark green gown that exuded a strange smell - that should have been caused in her own alchemy laboratory, because Zhao Mian could clearly distinguish that there was a familiar smell inside, especially the smell of a large dose of life potion was unforgettable.

Not only Gianna, but through the circle in the basement, there were many people in this world on this day - but many of them were actually idle and bored, and came to pass the time. But at least their reasons are high-sounding: Gianna told us that you need help here.

But everyone who comes can get together two mahjong games and a landlord, why are the only ones who are really helping? The king of the hill over there is talking about you, the one you are holding is not the beans that serve the wine, it is the coffee beans I just bought, and the most exhorting thing is you? Zhao Mian took his hand away from the counter, raised his head and looked at the group of guys who were making trouble on the side.

The children of Stormwind Zhao's Mansion are forming a circle, their eyes wide open, waiting for the next great story, and in the middle of them, a dancing dwarf is telling the story of his adventure - well, even though many of it is not true. Perhaps sensing Zhao Mian's gaze, Muradin smiled and put down the coffee beans he had just opened the box, grabbed the coffee beans he was going to eat from it, put the beans back into the box, and put them back in a pile of miscellaneous items behind him. He waved his hand, like a child king, and shouted to the little ones beside him, "Let's go outside and continue talking - although it is not as big as the mansion in Stormwind City, the mansion in Stormwind City is not as big as the courtyard outside, and your Uncle Zhao seems to be about to have an opinion!"

"Eh~, it's very dirty outside, just now I saw Aunt Mawei carrying two bags of garbage thrown outside. A little freckle adorned her face with pleasure, and little Jamie said as she dangled her ponytail.

"Yes, yes, and I'm tired of hearing all the stories you tell Grandpa Copperbeard. "It's always the glacier, the Titan, the glacier, the Titan—and the mellow ale, 'the fresh ale, the big gulp in the mouth, like a shower with cold spring water on a midsummer night.'" ”

"You little devil ......" very quickly, Muradin's hand stretched out, compared to the child, did not grow many arms but extremely fast, the frolicking child of course planned to avoid it at the first time, but compared to Muradin, he did drink many years less malt beer, so his little face was ravaged by Muradin.

"Speaking of which, I heard Sarandia say just now, you seem to have provoked a young girl again these days?" While slowly stuffing some bits and pieces into the counter, Gianna said without raising her head, "You, when can this kind of problem be changed?

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about!" Zhao Mian glared at Gianna angrily - but unfortunately there was no reaction from the other side - and then took out a damaged piece of clothing from his space bag, poured a little water, and began to wipe the counter in front of him, "What do you mean by messing with flowers and grass, do you really understand the meaning of this word?"

"Isn't it?" Gianna raised her head slightly and glanced at Zhao Mian, then lowered her head to take care of the things in the counter, "Yimei is still helping you take care of those properties that you should have to worry about yourself; every night, the master room on the north side of your house in Stormwind City is always occupied by people, and more than once someone has complained to the Stormwind City Guards that there are ghosts near your house and begged them to surround and suppress them." Gianna glanced at Mavi, who was wearing an apron and a headscarf and cleaning the cobwebs in the corner of the house with a broom, "You might want to tell her that while she is still evicted in Darnassus, we can provide her with political asylum in Stormwind." So don't stay lurking in the shadows - while you still leave money behind every time you take someone else's goods, it can have a lot of impact on the merchants around your home. ”

"Uh...... This one...... I'll try my best. Zhao Mian also glanced back at Ma Mian, as if sensing that someone was observing her, Ma Mian turned his body slightly, glanced at Zhao Mian's direction with the corner of his eye, and found that it was Zhao Mian and Gianna, turned his body a little puzzled, and tilted his head in the direction of Zhao Mian - Her long, moonlit white hair was scattered over her shoulders, and the dust that had fallen from the cleaning might have obscured the color of her clothes, but it also made the scars and tattoos on her cheeks less conspicuous - at least not as intimidating. Zhao Mian waved at Ma Wei, indicating that there was nothing wrong, so she nodded, turned around and continued to clean the cobwebs in the corner, "You don't know, because of those scars on her face and those tattoos that can already be called hideous, she was called ' behind her back by those bear children." The ghost woman', they say that the scars on her face were from the old days when she fought the two-headed ogres in the ogre tribe, and that the tattoos were actually evil magic engraved to ensure that her face would not age with time, and that the materials used were all ground from the flesh and bones of children - even this statement really scared two children who were too young in the second grade. Of course, the gang was beaten up by Suzanne afterwards, but how could these little children hide their actions from her, and I didn't see her take off her mask for a long time—and she was still a little resistant to taking it off in front of strangers. ”

"What a bunch of boisterous bear kids. Gianna shook her head helplessly, not far from the two of them the battle between the King of the Hill and the children was going on—and then because it was too noisy, she was kicked out of here by Sarantia, a little princess who was like a sister among the children, and had a reputation that could not be ignored. Placing the last plate in her hand on the counter, Gianna clapped her hands, straightened her crooked sleeves, and then took two glasses and a bottle of red wine from the shelf behind her.

"But it's better than being dead, isn't it?" Zhao Mian also retracted his gaze, since Sarandia appeared, then these children would not cause any bigger problems, and in most cases, Sarandia still has the image of a good sister.

"Ah, let's put aside the matter of Mavi, and how much flower and grass you messed with. Gianna put the wine glass on the place where Zhao Mian had just wiped, and some traces of water were still visible on it, Gianna's left tail finger lightly touched the tabletop, and a little cold swept the entire table, and then with a little vibration, the ice chips fell to the ground," Anyway, whether it's Stormwind or Theramore, those gentlemen who basically don't do practical things always like to do things like this, and you're just because you can't bear the loneliness, so you have some intentions, much better than those guys who have taken action since they were a teenager. But, lately, my little apprentice complained to me that you have been in deep contact with a girl from this world lately!"

"It's Sarantia and Icami, right?" Zhao Mian sighed and gave up the act of wiping the table, because now the clothes that were used as rags had become one with the ice chips, and they were still firmly fixed in the middle. He pulled a wooden seat from behind him and sat down across from Gianna.

"If I had to say if it wasn't, of course it would be nonsense, Sarandia was the only one who had been around you lately, right? Gianna rolled her eyes, and pushed more of the two glasses of red wine she had poured in front of Zhao Mian, and a cold breath was emanating from it, "And then? What about the specific situation? You guy always sees things that don't like him and goes to do it, what are the consequences this time?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that someone just happened to commit suicide. Zhao Mian took a sip of red wine, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then the girl you said is the sister of the guy who committed suicide, the atmosphere in their family is not very good, and they are getting divorced recently......"

"So you're meddling?" Gianna shook her head helplessly, she shook the red wine in her hand, the bright red liquid swaying in the transparent glass, "You, didn't you say it yourself—what is that called...... Well, that's right, it's difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. What kind of situation do you think about other people's families? What do you make other people's parents think -- do you have any intentions for your own daughter or son?!!

"I didn't interfere, I just gave the girl a little advice and advice as a possible acquaintance. Zhao Mian was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words, "In addition, have you accepted a little too much knowledge in other aspects recently, and it always seems that you feel a subtle malice in what you just said." ”

"Trust me, that's just your delusion. Gianna said without changing her face, "So, what next?"

"I told her not to suppress her emotions, to talk to her parents, and to take responsibility for taking care of her younger brother - no matter why her family neglected the child in the first place, they would settle down and think about it at such a moment. Family is not a one-man affair after all. Zhao Mian turned the glass in his hand, and then drank it all.

"In the name of being a hero behind the scenes? Gianna suddenly summoned her staff and shone it at Zhao Mian's head.
