Chapter 70
Tarantas Island is located in a land of water on the Central Continent near the Eastern Continent.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that this piece of water is actually formed by an incomparably huge inland wetland, and some of them have a deep draft, as if forming an inland sea, which is vast and huge, and there are many naked inland seas. The islands that are exposed to the lake are rich in products and beautiful environments, the most famous of which is Tarantas.
Once this piece of water was actually just a barren land, after the war of the gods seven thousand years ago, it was transformed by divine power to form the appearance of this water, human beings after thousands of years of recuperation, gradually multiplied, and the living space was further expanded, and gradually changed the continent of Olawen, of which Tarantas Island was one of the first islands to be transformed by humans.
With its beautiful environment, fresh air, spring-like seasons, and the natural features of the island, Tarantas Island has become a well-known tourist mecca and retirement destination.
Thanks to the blessing of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, Jian Lu and they also enjoyed the life of a rich man on Tarantas Island, facing the sea every day, and the spring flowers bloomed.
When they arrived at Tarantas, it was already the middle of winter in the central continent, but because of the geographical location of Tarantas, it was a warm spring, the sun was shining on the island's silvery white sand, and the seabirds flew by in the distance, so they couldn't feel the cold of winter at all.
When they set foot on the island of Tarantas, they had to sigh at the miracle of the Creator, where they saw a sea of flowers, and all kinds of beautiful colors gave out a brilliant glow, even if it was daytime, it was difficult to ignore it.
Upon arriving on Tarantas, Joyce personally took them to a beautiful villa by the sea, and on the day they arrived, Jane Lu and Hines also met Joyce's mother.
This is an extremely thin looking woman, wearing a long sky blue dress, the thin figure makes the skirt empty, coupled with the miserable white and thin face that seems to be only skin and bones, it is really not good-looking, and can even be said to be a little ugly. But she has a very special aura on her, calm and hearty when she smiles, full of vitality, which will make people involuntarily ignore her appearance.
Despite the many tribulations that fate has brought her, she is still like a fighting warrior, with a strong and unyielding will.
"You're friends with Joyce?" Mrs. Griffin's dark eyes were smiling, and even though they were scrutinizing, they were not uncomfortable. A very light smile appeared on her face, "This is the first time Joyce has brought a friend here, welcome the two Excellencies." โ
Jane Lu and Hines performed a noble salute.
"Excuse me."
Mrs. Griffin was evidently very welcoming to her son's friends, not only having them prepare the best guest rooms, luxurious clothes, but even accompanying them to a rich dinner.
When the dinner was over, Mrs. Griffin already knew about the process of her son's acquaintance with Jian Lu, of course, and smiled at them, "It's rare for you to come to Tarantas, I hope you two have a good time." โ
"Thank you, ma'am, we will have a great time with such a generous and merciful lady as you." Jian Lu smiled politely.
Mrs. Griffin was not in good health, although she still wanted to accompany the guests more, but unfortunately her spirit was not good, Joyce hurriedly sent her back to the room, and Rhys personally led Jane Lu and the others to the guest room to rest.
Rees dutifully introduced the villa and the scenery of Tarantas Island to the two, and said to them: "In fact, the most beautiful scenery of Tarantas Island is not the rainbow in the evening, but the wonderful rainbow at dawn, which is the most beautiful, but unfortunately Tarantas Island does not allow tourists to spend the night on the island, so not many people know about this grand scene." If you are interested, you can wait until dawn to see it. โ
Mrs. Griffin had two guest rooms prepared and pushed the door in, which was no worse than the king's bedroom in terms of size and decoration, and was worthy of being the richest chamber of commerce on the mainland.
Jian Lu glanced at the big bed covered with delicate and soft bedding, walked to the balcony, stretched out his hand to open the beaded curtain made of Siren's tears, and walked to the arched balcony, a gust of sea breeze blew in his face, and the humid air was full of the quiet smell of flowers, without the slightest salty and humid breath.
Whether it is from the sense of mind or smell, it is extremely enjoyable, Jian Lu even feels that when he is old, it is not bad to come here to retire, and in such a beautiful scenery, he will usher in death safely.
"Jane."
Jian Lu turned his head and saw the blonde boy on the balcony of the next guest room, he was wearing a white knight's suit, the placket, cuffs and hem were inlaid with gold hems, and the well-trimmed close-fitting fabric outlined the standard figure of broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and the intersecting colors of white and gold made him extremely handsome, like a noble prince coming from the court.
In the afterglow of the brilliant sunset on the horizon, the man leaned leisurely on the delicate carved railing and smiled at him, not knowing whether it was the beautiful sunset that adorned him, or his existence that made the sunset more dazzling.
At that moment, Jian Lu looked a little distracted.
He had always known that Hines was an excellent man, not only in his appearance, but also in his temperament, and that his existence was a visual perfection under the extremely beautiful environment of the magical world in which they lived.
When Jian Lu came back to his senses, he found that he had jumped from the balcony next door and landed beside him, one hand hooking his shoulder.
Jian Lu turned her head to look at him expressionlessly.
Hines put his arm on his shoulder, pointed into the distance, and said, "Jane, I feel something strange underwater. โ
Jian Lu quickly ignored the strange feeling, and looked with him at the sea that turned into a dark blue under the setting sun in the distance, "What kind of abnormal movement?" โ
"I don't know yet, because it's too slight."
Jian Lu thought about it. He will agree to Joyce to come to Tarantas Island, in addition to the fact that Joyce's pure and filial piety to his mother makes him feel something, but also because he knows from the system profile that Joyce's mother's life and death have something to do with the heroine, and the reason why Joyce is loyal to the heroine and swears to chase her to the death, and even tolerates sharing his lover with other men, is also because of his mother.
If you want to make Joyce a friend, you naturally have to start with the people he cares about.
Tarantas is a beautiful island that can't be faulted, but since Lady Griffin would be recuperating here, it should be the place where the drama โกโก begin, perhaps because of the anomaly that Hines discovered?
Seeing that he was starting to wander again, Hines didn't say anything, but had to completely envelop his body in his own breath inch by inch. Now that he was half a head taller than the man, he was very pleased with the difference in height, which allowed him to fully embrace him in his arms when he stood behind him.
When Jian Lu came back to his senses, he found that he was almost leaning on Hines's arms, and he was immediately embarrassed.
He patted Hines on the chest, "It's late at night, go back and rest." โ
Hines squinted at him, and found that he didn't know whether he was too slow to react, or disappointed, and he felt a little frustrated in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that he might be able to make a little more progress and test his true bottom line.
There is a supporting bathroom in the room, and the facilities in the bathroom are all alchemy products, which are no worse than modern high-tech.
Jian Lu enjoyed a bathing sauna, and as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw a person lying on his bed, his golden head shining under the magic lamp. For a moment, he wondered if he had gone to the wrong room after coming out of the bathroom.
"Jane." The man on the bed was smiling happily at him with his head propped up in one hand.
Jian Lu was wearing a wide yukata and his hair was still dripping with water, and instead of drying it with magic, he took a towel and wiped it slowly, asking, "Why are you here?" โ
Hines's gaze moved from the delicate and flawless face to his slender neck, and finally to the half of his chest. Unlike the rigor of the usual magic robes, the neckline of the yukata was slightly open, revealing delicate butterfly bones and half of his chest, and his complexion was very white, a pearl-like color, without a trace of flaws.
"Didn't Rhys say that the view at dawn on Tarantas Island is the most beautiful?" There was a hint of imperceptible hoarseness in his voice, as if he leaned over casually, obscuring a certain position below him, "This is our first time on Tarantas, and I want to enjoy the scenery here with you." โ
Jian Lu was stunned, then his eyes softened, he walked over and reached out to touch his blonde hair, and his cold voice was a little softer, "Since that's the case, you can stay tonight." โ
He remembered that after bringing Hines back to the Temple of Light from Dark Street, although the two of them had been together, they were mostly practicing or fighting, and they never stopped to take a good look at the surrounding scenery, even if they could encounter the most beautiful scenery at that time, they missed it for some reasons.
And this time, it was the first time they didn't have to be busy practicing or running for their lives, and they could finally stop and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Hines was very happy, pulled him to the bed, took the towel from his hand with great interest, helped him wipe his hair, and said as he wiped: "Jane, you are a magician, you only need a spell to clean your hair, you won't forget it again." โ
Jian Lu paused and said lightly: "I'm used to it." โ
After being an ordinary person for twenty-five years in his previous life, many habits have been formed, and even if he comes to this magical magical world in this life, he has not been able to change. In other words, he is unwilling to change, for fear that he will change too thoroughly and forget the way home.
Hines looked at him a little darkly, and the feeling of uncontrollability returned.
However, he did not show his face, and helped him dry his hair as usual, and then pulled him to lie on the bed, and said in a very excited tone: "I don't know what kind of grand scene the dawn of Tarantas Island will be, I have some expectations, and I can't sleep to death when the time comes." โ
"Don't worry, I've set up magic time, and I'll be reminded when the time comes." Jian Lu felt that he was like a child at this time, in fact, Hines was not very old, that is, he had just entered college, and he was still a teenager, so he should be so lively.
Feeling his body gradually relax, and when he finally fell asleep, Hines flicked his fingertips, and the golden light sank into the person next to him, and his breathing became heavier.
With a genuine and soft smile on his face, he took the people around him into his arms and intertwined with his limbs, forming an ambiguous intimacy that does not distinguish between you and me.
