Count Cruz thought that Qiao Xiu's first two projects already had an element of joke in them.

He roughly estimated the resources needed to build the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel, and the merry-go-round was relatively easy, and half a month was enough to build one.

As for the Ferris wheel......

If Count Cruz paid for this kind of 'spectacle' at his own expense, and the only role was to look at the scenery in the distance, he would definitely be distressed to the point of convulsions!

This thing is simply a monster that devours gold coins, this kind of monster Count Cruz doesn't dare to raise any of them, but look at Qiao Xiu like this... He is also going to raise about seven or eight more.

Now an even more terrifying money-swallowing monster has appeared on the stage, and the name given by Qiao Xiu is a roller coaster.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, this is really a magic machine for entertainment, not ... Torture or murder? ”

The young craftsman spoke to everyone present, and the demonstration of the roller coaster seemed to them a little too terrifying.

After exiting the station, he slowly climbed to a high place, and the moment he climbed to the top, he fell down instantly, followed by several consecutive reversed curves and inverted tracks.

Whoever gets on this rail car will not be able to come back alive nine times out of ten.

"This magic guide machine, which I named a roller coaster, runs in a way that looks a little thrilling, but while maintaining this thrilling way of running at the same time ensuring the safety of the people and the capacity of the track... That's what you need to think about. ”

Qiao Xiu threw a difficult question at all the master craftsmen present, and this time they didn't question it but started to discuss.

The discussion lasted for several minutes, and finally one of the most old-looking craftsmen raised his hand.

"If you are serious, Mr. Qiao Xiu, we will accept this commission."

"Then please Master Tisi."

Qiao Xiu could see that the old craftsman's expression was not that he was commissioned by his employer or anything, but that he was excited to meet a challenge he was interested in.

"Let's talk about the next magic machine..."When Qiao Xiu said this, he walked up to Ciri's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with mana consumption?" ”

"The magic of creating three illusions will run out, and the Purple One will double my homework." Once again, a new purple inscription appeared on Ciri's fingertips: "The next painted pie... No, what is the amusement ride to be built? ”

"Hmm... Let me see. ”

Qiao Xiu told the group of craftsmen one by one about the amusement facilities and his own ideas that he had thought of.

Since the rollercoaster ride, they have been interested in these novel ideas of Qiao Xiu, although most of the works are of no use to them.

The bidding for the construction of the amusement park continued late into the night.

"You've estimated the price of the build, just send the bill to the Hearthstone Tavern, and I'll send someone to send you the deposit."

Qiao Xiu glanced at the already dark sky outside.

Empress Ekanna was present to observe the entire bidding meeting, although she remained silent the whole time, and it seemed that she was still scrolling through the caster's forum posts as if she was watching the movements in her hands... But as long as Empress Yekana is a witness, Qiao Xiu doesn't have to worry about his deposit being cheated away.

"You have proved to the world the magic of the Iron Nation...... It's time to be number one in the world. ”

"You don't need to prove it, Mr. Qiao Xiu, you just need to wait, and you mentioned the place of Arthur Crowe."

Empress Yekana closed the magic net interface in front of her, and her attention was once again focused on Qiao Xiu's body.

"The legendary city in the sky, the gathering place of the High Elves..."

"I'll show you around when the time is right, Ms. Ekana."

Qiao Xiu vaguely guessed what the queen was thinking.

Fallosi has the existence of a World Tree, so that their entire country does not need the crystallization of the World Tree to connect to the magic web.

This temptation is too great, and Empress Ekanna is a wise spellcaster herself, and she knows that the World Tree is not something that can be cultivated from seeds.

"I'll wait." Empress Ekanna showed a smile that made Qiao Xiu unpredictable.

………………

"I always felt that woman was dangerous."

Ciri sat in the passenger seat of the magic car, holding a blue potion.

She created eight delicate large-scale illusions in a row, and the magic in her body was a little too much to support.

"I heard that the queen of the Iron Nation used to be a disciple of the Yellow Coat, and she was still the chief... Now also a powerful spellcaster. ”

Qiao Xiu held the steering wheel and looked at the flashing red protozoars on the road in front of him, and had to step on the brakes before the intersection.

"No... That woman always gave me the feeling that she would say, 'I want it all.'" Ciri said, uncorking the blue potion.

"People with a collecting fetish are like this, by the way, Ciri... Want to take some time to choose a wedding ring? ”

Qiao Xiu just happened to see a jewelry store on the corner.

"Ahem."

When Qiao Xiu said this, Ciri happened to take a sip of the magic potion.

"I knew I shouldn't have drunk water when you said, 'That's right.'"

Ciri took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and tactfully re-inserted the cork of the magic potion in his hand.

"It's a bit sudden, and I should have chosen it myself."

Qiao Xiu quickly noticed that the topic had become slightly awkward.

"Actually... I don't know. ”

Ciri touched the ring on her index finger with her hand, which Qiao Xiu had given her to shield herself from the purple-clad person's spiritual magic.

"Then this topic will be suspended for the time being, and we will be at the Hearthstone Tavern soon, so..."

"How long have we known each other, Qiao Xiu."

Ciri suddenly put on his hood, then hugged his legs and curled up in the passenger seat, only quietly watching Qiao Xiu through the interior mirror.

"It's been almost two years and seven months, what's wrong?"

Qiao Xiu didn't understand why Ciri would enter at this time... Fully armed mode.

"The first time I met you, you wanted to blow my head off." Ciri said, holding the red gem she wore around her neck.

"Trust me, that just scares you."

Qiao Xiu felt that the eyes from Ciri were full of suspicion.

"But if you think about it, two years ago, I didn't understand anything." Ciri said suddenly.

"Ciri?" Joshua noticed that there was something strange about Heri's state.

"Qiao Xiu! Can you hear what I'm thinking now? ”

Ciri pulled the hood on his head lower with his hand, as if intending to confess something.

"Anytime."

At first, Joshua thought that Ciri would never be depressed, but everyone has their own agenda, and Josiu seems to have touched something about Ciri when he mentions marriage.

"I actually had low self-esteem when I was with you." The more Ciri spoke, the lower the hood on her head became, so low that Qiao Xiu couldn't even make out her expression, "Especially when you met that Gallori, the flower of Fallosi, she was so beautiful that I wanted to have a relationship with her, and she was also the daughter of a duke." ”

Qiao Xiu's hand holding the steering wheel paused when he heard this, because Qiao Xiu was really afraid of what Ciri would say, 'I'm sorry, it's actually Caroli that I like.' ’

"And Tylene, her singing voice and their World Tree have really helped you a lot." Ciri whispered, "Shayle, the king of the Land of Frost, too, if she reveals her identity as a girl, the Demon Realm and the Land of Frost will definitely consider marriage... If you ...... with Shayle"

"Ciri!"

Qiao Xiu interrupted Ciri's words at this moment, and Ciri's confession Qiao Xiu could listen quietly, but this sentence made Qiao Xiu feel a little angry.

Ciri's body curled up in the passenger seat shook slightly, but she chose to continue.

"Qiao Xiu, there are too many girls you know who are better than me, and they all have a crush on you, but... But......" Ciri said here, took off his hood, looked at Qiao Xiu with silver-gray eyes, and said, "I will try to become more powerful than them, the mentor said that you must have a lot of places to use illusions in the future, and I am still close to completing the fifth level of illusion magic construction." ”

"It's nothing to do with illusions." Qiao Xiu stopped the magic guide car and looked at her.

Ciri's silver-gray eyes glowed in the darkness, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned.

"No, it has a ...... with illusions"

Qiao Xiu didn't wait for Ciri to finish this sentence, he directly turned off the magic guide car, and then directly approached Ciri, who was curled up in the co-pilot's seat.

Ciri's lips still had the smell of the magic potion before, she first stared at Qiao Xiu with wide eyes, and then closed her eyes and silently accepted Qiao Xiu's somewhat rough request.

The lips overlapped for a long time, and Ciri's breathing was a little rapid when they parted again.

"It doesn't matter, understand?"

Qiao Xiu's hand rested on the top of the co-pilot's seat, looking down at Ciri huddled in the corner.

From this angle, Joshua could see Ciri's collarbone......

"I... I know. Ciri's cheeks were already occupied by a crimson color, and at the same time, she blocked her lips with the back of her hand, not daring to look at Qiao Xiu, "Hurry up and get moving, in case you are detained by the Nolan law enforcement team again, it will be trouble." ”

Qiao Xiu was slightly relieved to see Heri regain his spirits.

"It's fine."

But Qiao Xiu didn't intend to end like this, and directly grabbed Ciri's hand that was covering his lips.

"Now the car is parked in an alley where no one comes."

"Alleys?"

Ciri looked up only to realize that she wasn't on the street in Nolan!

"Wait... Wait a minute! ”

Ciri's resistance was directly overwhelmed by Qiao Xiu without any effect.

……………………

Joshua and Ciri had a sweet time before returning to the Hearthstone Tavern.

When Joshua came to his study, he saw a frost elf Tyrin watering the cat.

"Qiao Xiu, and Ciri, are you back?"

Tyrin had been waiting in the study for a long time, she put down the kettle in her hand, and the white cat disappeared on Qiao Xiu's desk.

"Today I have participated in two international conferences in a row... So it's a little late. ”

Joshua and Ciri walked into the study together, and Tyren looked at her and felt uncomfortable.

"And Tyrene, do you have anything to do?" Qiao Xiu immediately asked.

Tyrene withdrew her gaze and sat down across from Joshew's desk again, her expression very serious.

"Mr. Joshy, your Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection hasn't been updated for a long time."

The moment Tai Lin used the honorifics, Qiao Xiu knew that this frost spirit must have come to urge the change.

Although Tylin's voice sounded soft and weak, for some reason, Qiao Xiu immediately sat up straight.

"Fifteen days to be exact." Ciri also joined the camp of the Urgers at this time, "Don't move, the reminders in the library seem to be almost thousands." ”

"That book, as you know, I've been busy lately... So there's not much time to write. Qiao Xiu said.

"I know Mr. Qiao Xiu, you have been busy with the Holy Spirit competition recently, but you promised to write a chapter at a certain time." Tyrin said this in a pleading tone.

"Hmm... I'll write tomorrow when I have time. ”

Qiao Xiu turned his head a little weakly and said.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, can you really keep your promise?"

Tyren can trust Joshua in everything, but with the update of "Sherlock Holmes", Tyren has never been able to trust him.

"By the way, Tyrin, and Ciri... Actually, I have a new idea that I've been trying to tell you. ”

Qiao Xiu tried to divert the topic, but a work was not updated, and then used the reason of opening a new work, let alone diverting the reader's attention, and the reader might directly raise a knife to hunt down the author.

Sure enough, Qiao Xiu's proposal had an excellent mocking effect.

"I still hope that Mr. Qiao Xiu can find time to write a chapter, there are many fans like me waiting in the library."

Tailin's character is too soft to be good, and she won't be tough when urging the change.

"Write it tomorrow!" Qiao Xiu gave another panacea reply and said, "Do you want to see my new ideas?" ”

Tyrene hesitated, if it was a game like the Holy Spirit, at least she didn't need to wait for the update, but in case Qiao Xiu wrote another interesting book, she would definitely not be able to stand it if it was only updated every two or three months.

In the end, the curiosity of the new work overcame the pain of waiting for the update, and Terrin nodded slightly.

Qiao Xiu looked at Ciri again, Qiao Xiu had not done any further affectionate behavior to Ciri in the car before.

However, if he hadn't met Tyren when he returned to the tavern, Qiao Xiu would have carried Ciri directly to the bed.

"I'm still in good spirits." Ciri said.

"Well, there's a disease that causes extreme frustration and anger in the Plains of Frost lately, and ...... the reason."

"Grey Mist ......"

When Tyren uttered the word, the effeminate frost elf looked much stronger, after all, she was the woman who was saddled with the responsibility of perpetuating a race.

"I needed a cure for the disease, so I decided to create an animation."

Qiao Xiu found the oil painting tools used by Ciri on his desk, and directly sketched the image of a cat and a mouse with brushstrokes.
