Chapter 121
- But in order to pursue the criminals, Wei almost demolished half of Field City!
At that time, Catherine was speechless with surprise.
"Hasn't her problem with demolishing the city been changed? Why did you do it again, is it because Jace is not there? β
Sealed, "......"
When Catherine returned from the police station, she probably knew what was going on when she saw Feng Liu, lying on the sofa with a depressed face, a bill and Vi's favorite canned beer on the table next to her, and a book that Wei had recently seized from her fight against criminals.
"Liu......" said softly, different from the cold and arrogant female sheriff in the eyes of outsiders, Catherine's moving face with an apologetic smile, took off her coat, and sat next to Feng Liu, "Wei, trouble again?" β
"......" Feng Liu rode from the sofa and hugged Catherine into his arms, his delicate body was in his arms, but it was a faint and happy sense of satisfaction, Catherine's face changed greatly, "Liu!" You ......"
"It's okay, Sindra is going to retreat for the next two days." Catherine was relieved at once, but frowned a little worriedly.
"Syndra still hasn't listened to you?"
ββ¦β¦ Hmm......" Feng Liu said, sighing, "I also planned to give Sindra a life and death crisis to self-direct, hoping to make her listen to my advice, but I didn't give me the slightest chance this morning and went into retreat." β
Smelling a faint body fragrance unique to Catherine, thinking that the woman was covered with either the smell of wine or diesel, Feng Liu sighed, "Anyway, I'm thinking, you actually partner with such a woman, it really makes me have to mourn for you, and the feeling of someone coming to the door to collect bills every day is very bad." β
"Hehe, just get used to it. She may have been a little excited these days because she was chasing human traffickers. Catherine thought of being sent to prison. The guy, who was no longer human, sighed, "She was abducted by traffickers when she was a child, and she managed to escape from the traffickers, only to live in the suburbs where there is no legal constraint. I can no longer find my relatives, and I have a hard time growing up...... So although she didn't say it, she probably hated the trafficker very much.
But...... She has gone a little too far in the past few days to cause such damage. Catherine looked at the notes on the bill, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, "I'll talk to her when I have time, as a law enforcer, she needs to be more binding." β
"Well...... "Although every night the soul is engaged in the deepest communication. But Feng Liu still hugged each other tightly, and when he caught Sindra completely isolated from the outside world, he naturally had to grasp it well, and he didn't think about other things anymore.
"Gilt ......" a shy whisper sounded in his ears. Feng Liu hummed softly, and listened to Catherine continue.
"We ...... Hmm......" The eyes shyly avoided the direct gaze of the lover, two red floating clouds appeared on the shy face, and Catherine's whisper was so thin that Feng Liu could hardly hear it, "We...... Once the relationship is determined. I don't think I've kissed yet......"
Feng Liu was slightly stunned, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, looked at the round and plump cherry mouth, and leaned his mouth over. Kissed deeply. It's that both of them are tender hands in this, and they don't have so many tricks. But a simple kiss is enough to satisfy the two.
A moment later. The four lip flaps separated, gently brushing the hair of the beauty in his arms, looking at the person who belonged to him with happiness and soft eyes, Feng Liu put his mouth to Catherine's slightly trembling ear, and said softly, "Catherine, I, love...... Yes!!!!!! β
This warm moment was interrupted by a miserable scream from Feng Liu, Catherine's face was shocked, and she looked at Feng Liu's convulsions with puzzlement, and anxiously grabbed Feng Liu's shoulder, "What's wrong, Feng Liu, what's wrong with your body?" β
"I ...... It's okay, Xiao Ying is biting me again! Feng Liu almost cried in pain and said, this little dragon doesn't wake up early or late, why is it this time!?
Catherine lowered her head slightly, and sure enough, she saw a faint bulge on the chest on her clothes, and a helpless smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"You didn't feed this little guy today?" Saying that, he nodded curiously at the protruding place, and Xiaolong swayed his body slightly, but he didn't let go and bit it hard.
"I forgot about it." The cow in the seal is full of faces, because the matter of feeding the little dragon has always been Sindra's initiative, so as soon as Sindra closed the seal, she forgot about it to the ends of the earth, and as a result, the little dragon who was not called to "eat" during the day was now awakened by hunger, and told "mother" that he was hungry in the most direct way.
"Ouch, don't bite your little ancestor!" Feng Liu, who had not been attacked in pain for more than two months, quickly let go of Catherine and ran to the balcony to summon Master Yi. Fortunately, in order to prevent Sindra from falling out with him one day, he also let Master Yi learn this method of condensing the essence of the sun and the moon - but unfortunately this condensed essence is only eaten by Xiaolong, which makes Feng Liu have to sigh - otherwise at this moment, Feng Liu can only wait for this little ancestor to bite off a piece of meat from his chest.
After "eating and drinking", Xiaolong fell silent again, Feng Liu looked at the little dragon that had gone around his neck from two times to three times and had three extra rounds, and sighed deeply, in the past two months, this little guy has grown a lot, but he doesn't seem to have psychic wisdom yet, except for the "mother" who made Feng Liu's head sweat, he wouldn't say anything else.
Destroyed by Xiaolong, the two of them had no atmosphere to continue what they had just done, and after saying goodnight, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
β¦β¦
The next day, Wei was released from the "little black room", and without saying a word, he gave the young man's tender little chrysanthemum a fist the size of a casserole, completely ignoring the young man's desolate screams, and then walked to work with Catherine with a dashing shake of his head. After half a ring, Feng Liu's figure appeared next to the puppet, looking at the seriously damaged buttocks of his stand-in puppet, the big man with his head dripping down, and then put the puppet away, ready to find a time to repair it, and leave the City Lord's Mansion to deal with other things.
Catherine interrogated the unadult-shaped trafficker who was beaten by Wei with a fist, and cooperated with Wei to raid a trafficker den near Field City, and the result was to pull out a chain of black interests, but this Field Province is his territory, in order to compensate the emperor for giving him a lot more rights than ordinary city owners, and the seventh princess found a human-shaped Shangfang sword to sit here with him, after getting the news, Feng Liu, without saying a word, asked Catherine to arrest these traffickers strictly, and at the same time rescued the abducted people one by one.
Then, Feng Liu found that among the people who were blamed, there were elves!
How could an elf appear here!
The Elven Forest is located in the southwest of the Empire, close to the frontier of the Empire, and this Field City is located in the almost northernmost direction of the entire Empire.
After configuring the antidote potion for the female elf, Feng Liu's careful inquiry revealed that this female elf named Nicole turned out to be an adventurer from the elf forest - Feng Liu knew that the vast majority of elves were standard dead houses, and many of them might stay in the dreamlike elf forest for the rest of their lives, unless they were hunted by human traffickers, so there were really a few elves like Nicole who came out.
This kind of elven adventurer usually has good magic skills, and at the same time is protected by the strictest laws of the empire - this involves a very serious diplomatic issue, it can be said that if the dead house of the elven forest has a middle 2 disease and intends to unify the world one day, I am afraid that there will be nothing to do with humans on the continent - so even the most daring human traffickers will not dare to design to capture these elves.
In other words, when he learned that Nicole was just an ordinary elf adventurer, although he didn't know why, Feng Liu always felt that this was so scientific.
Feng Liu naturally wanted to tell the seventh princess about this matter, Gladys's face turned green when she heard this, and she hurriedly went to Nicole to do ideological work, fortunately, the elves who can get out of the elven forest naturally have an understanding of human society, and although Nicole looks like she is only a girl, I am afraid that as soon as her age is said, everyone present will not be able to compare to her, so she didn't care too much about this matter, but she was very grateful to the people of Feng Liu for rescuing her.
"This is my little gift to you. Please accept it. If you pass by the Elven Forest in the future, you can use it to come in and play. Nicole handed out two withered branches, one for Gladys, and the other for the seal.
Feng Liu took the passage and said politely. Looking at the dead branch in his hand, he suddenly asked curiously.
"I've heard that the elves give dead branches as gifts, using the withered branches of the elves' tree of life, is this true?" Feller naturally mentioned the matter of elves, and this tree of life, but the treasure of the elves, legend has it that the entire elven forest is covered by a super large tree of life, it is said that the branches of this tree of life. Even if it is withered, it is comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng, and there are occasional smugglers in the black market who sell this thing, and it is very expensive.
Nicole's face was slightly surprised. But he also nodded, "Actually, this withered branch is not as exaggerated as you humans think, it may have a little medicinal value for humans, but the effect should be similar to that of ordinary ground root grass." And for us it is of no use at all. Every winter, they can be found everywhere in the Elven Forest. However, since it is a dead branch of the tree of life, even if it withers, it will not rot for thousands of years, and every year it is very difficult for the Great Elder to clean up these withered branches, so it is usually given to you by us as a token that you can befriend. β
Other words. The elven hunters who risk the lives of the Nine Clans every year are actually the most extravagant and wasteful creatures in the world.
Nicole was caught by poison, but her elven constitution made it useless for light magic, which has a healing effect on humans. But fortunately, there is a master like Master Yi Akali who is good at herbal pharmacology. As a result, Nicole quickly recuperated and continued her adventurous journey.
β¦β¦
As it spread throughout the empire. The city of Field, which had been abandoned, was gradually becoming known. In the Empire, the mid-level professionals are the mainstay of the Empire, and for those who have reached this strength, money is already something outside the body, and they can just go out and hunt a few monsters for money, so people who pay attention to spiritual pursuits began to gather from all over the empire to Field City.
It is naturally a good thing that there are many people who come, and the so-called want to get rich, first build roads, for a city like Field City, which has no productivity itself, completely depends on the input of materials from the outside world, and drives the economy with tourism and entertainment, the convenience of roads is particularly important.
Feng Liu knew that those who really had strong spending power, the nobles and young masters of the imperial capital, and the nobles of other human kingdoms, all of them were because of the long distance, and there might be annoying thieves on the road, etc., so they canceled the plan to come over because of the trouble-this is also the situation learned from the Seventh Princess, and many of their classmates in one of their classes have plans to come over, but unfortunately except for the Seventh Princess, because there are griffins to ride, they don't care about the distance at all, The other students decided to cancel this plan because they would waste most of their time on the road. So far, more adventurers from all over the empire and relatively wealthy mercenaries have come.
For this reason, Feng Liu's special approach to the silver fox to discuss the matter of building the road, but since Feng Liu's want, the silver fox naturally considered this problem earlier, and told Feng Liu that he was already contacting the engineering team to help repair the road, and it would be there in two weeks.
In fact, Feng Liu's money was earned.
"But I feel like we're not just going to be on the road." Feng Liu suddenly spoke, in the room, Gladys and Silver Fox, Grice, and Lux, who is currently managing the financial and personnel management of the entire city, are all gathered here, "Since we plan to do it in the long run, we naturally shouldn't give up the two important ways of air transportation and water transportation, and at the same time, this can also make the transportation of materials in the city more convenient." β
"By air...... There aren't so many griffons in the Empire, and other flying monsters are difficult to tame...... Oh yes, and what about that barbarian kid named Arnold next to you? Why haven't I seen him for a long time. With him, maybe there is a solution by air. Grice began, "I haven't even seen that cutlass kid out lately. β
"Arnold should be back in the next two weeks." Due to the existence of magic in this world, even in the north, it only takes more than three months for rice and wheat to be harvested, of course, the taste is naturally a little worse than normal ripening, but there are few tastes that are not foodies, "Asomona boy...... I don't know why.,I've been locking myself in the house and rarely come out to see people.γ Even the last time to celebrate Lux's brother Galen, Feng Liu's family came over, and Feng Liu specially cooked a banquet, but Asomo was stuffy in the room, which surprised Feng Liu, and at the same time, he was also suspicious, and recently asked Akali to help secretly pay more attention to him.
The Seventh Princess asked, "But what are you going to do with water transport?" The nearest river to the imperial capital is more than 100 kilometers away. β
"So at this meeting, I specially came to cooperate with your little maid to drag the seventh princess from the playground." Feng Liu's words made Gladys's face flush slightly, and she couldn't help but say viciously.
"Do you have any way to say it directly, what are you doing around the old man?"
"I'm going to open a Grand Canal, and I'm going to ask for the help of a high-level mage from the earth system." Feng Liu said, "But even if I have money for my personal prestige, I'm afraid I can invite those earth-based high-level mages of the Immovable Magic Guild, but if you have the help of your father, the princess, this is not a big problem." β
"That...... Forgive me for being unheard. Gladys coughed dryly, "What is the canal?" β
Feng Liu was stunned for a moment, recalled the history books he had read, and suddenly discovered that in this magical world, because the daily items in various places can be basically self-sufficient, and the things from other places can be brought by traveling merchants, coupled with the existence of magic portals, even if there are tyrants in history who plan to "fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", they don't need to dig it with manpower, so in the past 10,000 years, there has really been no canal!
But the cost of magic teleportation is not small, if it is a single teleportation, it is fine, but if it is a group portal, it is enough to pass one to put a "local tyrant's breath" in the monster tΓΊ shΔ, so it is impossible for Feng Liu to spend this money on this.
Immediately, Feng Liu explained the role of the canal, to put it bluntly, it is to artificially open a river, and let the cargo ships move on the canal. Gladys was amazed by such a huge project, and couldn't help but sigh, "Chris, this plan of yours may not be of much use to other cities." But it couldn't be better for this field city. β
"How can it be useless to other cities?" Feng Liu shook his head and took out the map of the Alphad Empire, "You see, on the way from Field City to the imperial capital, you will pass through three major provinces and pass through six large and small cities, all of which are quite famous in the empire and have local characteristics. Or maybe it's a unique landscape. If we make a slight turn in the rivers and allow them to pass through the city, we can drive a considerable economic chain along the way, and bring the whole empire closer together. The economic chain is also ......"
After Fiun clarified all the uses of the canal that he wanted, Gladys only sighed, even Lux had to be impressed by Feng Liu's idea, obviously, Valoran, who was also a magical and semi-mechanized world. I'm afraid the canal has never been dug before.
"Chris, your genius brain makes me want to sigh again, but you also know that it is not easy to invite a seventh-order magician to dig a river." Gladys's crepe words couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Yes. I'm just borrowing from the canal or something, don't put a big hat on me. And I only need the economy of Field City, and I will not participate in the economic chain along the way. β
"That'll do." Gladys smiled. But at this moment, a silver fox drinking wine on the side spoke.
"Since it's a canal, I'm afraid you'll need a boat, right? The empire's seafaring industry doesn't seem to be very developed under the influence of the Sea Clan and Ko Island, how about it, Miss Seventh Princess, are you interested in making a deal with me that will benefit both of you??? Well??? β
Feng Liu looked at the silver fox's narrowed fox eyes, and knew that Arafad's royal family was about to hemorrhage.
Silver Fox wants to sell more than just selling ships, as if he recently opened a lot of peripheral items related to what Feng Liu wrote in Field City, such as the knight clothes of the Oriental family, Taoist clothes, or the Q version of the city lord's dolls and other peripheral products, and the sales are very good, Feng Liu even sometimes walks on the street and thinks that he has crossed again.
And he has been making a big move recently, preparing to build the half of the city of Field City that was destroyed by Wei with an iron fist into an "Oriental Ancient City", and when the time comes, I am afraid that Feng Liu will directly look at the blonde and blue-eyed "foreigners" wearing Taoist uniforms on the street, and they will not be able to complain.
β¦β¦
Sindra went into retreat for seven days, and when she came out of the retreat, her face was not very good-looking, and it was obvious that she had failed in the impact of strength. Feng Liu cautiously comforted Sindra, and by the way, he euphemistically expressed the thought of waiting too much, and after Sindra squinted at him, he actually nodded.
This made Feng Liu almost not put a surprised expression on his face, and Sindra actually listened??? Sure enough, Sindra basically didn't practice much in the next few days, but instead in order to strengthen the combat ability of Feng Liu, he came to double PK.
Then, people passing by the Castle Lord's Mansion can often see that the Castle Lord has been testing some new and fun games lately, flying up and down in his yard. At that moment, the seal that was thrown by the power of Sindra's mind really even had the heart to die, the so-called misfortune and blessing relied on, and the blessing and misfortune lurked, didn't he be a little intimate with Catherine for a few days, and he could use such a blessing and misfortune to come so quickly, and the internal organs were going to be thrown out, how could it be repaired!!
Of course, there are two sides to the matter, Feng Liu comforted himself with the fortunate fact that Anne's little girl did not come out to make trouble this time, otherwise the little girl would add fuel to the fire and tell him Feng Liu and Catherine's "jiΔn qΓng", and Feng Liu believed that he was going to die without a place to be buried.
The road construction team arrived within two weeks as Silver Fox said, along with the earth mage masters from the Royal Magic Regiment, the earth mages from the Imperial Academy, and the earth mage student team.
This surprised Feng Liu, who had only planned to ask the royal family to come forward and hire the magicians of the Magic Guild, and when he saw Gladys' smile, he knew that it was her effort. You must know that the members of the Royal Magic Order are used to protect the safety of the entire palace, that is, in peacetime,
