122: Remnant
A month has passed, and it is the end of summer in the blink of an eye.
The weather is not so hot anymore, and there is a cool wind blowing from time to time.
Since the merchant fort was eliminated, Aslan has obtained two random treasure chests, but Aslan has not opened them for the time being, and he doesn't want to rely too much on the Endless Lord system, so he keeps it and runs the Flying City well, and the random treasure chests are ready to be used until the critical moment.
As for the other lords, under Raul's coercion and temptation, they gave up peeping into the things of the merchant fort, so that Feitian City rarely entered a period of stable development.
"Millie, what do you think we're going to eat at night?"
"I see we go to the supermarket to buy some white steamed buns, and that ......"
From time to time, the streets are filled with people chatting and chatting.
There are already a few more taverns on the street, as well as a few shops.
Occasionally, there will be one or two bearded dwarves strolling along the road, jugs in their hands. There are even wheat-skinned elves with two pairs of pointed ears.
These are very surprising in the eyes of outsiders who have just come to Flying Sky City, but they are already a common thing for the citizens living in Flying Sky City.
"Granny Wall, are the clothes we made last time ordered?" said the two elves, walking into a ready-to-wear store, to the old woman who was sitting in front of an old sewing machine.
"It's Jingli and Jingmei. I've already made the clothes you wanted. Granny Wall laughed at the wrinkles on her face, and she took out two folded clothes from the back room, put them in front of the two female elves, and said, "See how it is, do you want to try it in my interview room." ”
"No need, we're in a hurry, so we'll go back first. This is money, you can take it. The two female elves happily took the clothes, took out a few silver coins from their pockets, and handed them to the mother-in-law.
"By the way, this is a flower picked from us, it smells good, you must be good to put it. The older elf took a bouquet of bright flowers from his bosom and put it in front of the old woman, and went away with the elf beside her.
"These two children, give me flowers, hehehe" The old woman smiled and sniffed the bright bouquet of flowers, inserted it into the empty bottle beside her, and returned to her sewing machine to continue her work.
"Sister, you think we don't look good in this dress. The young female elf named Jingmei couldn't put it down, looking at the clothes in her hands.
"Be careful when you go back, if you let the patriarchs and elders know that we spent a month's salary to buy two clothes, they don't know what to say about us. Jingli explained to her sister, but her eyes were also full of love when she looked at her clothes.
"Oops!" Suddenly, the two of them felt as if they had bumped into someone, and they took two steps back to come back to their senses, and found An Ning standing in front of them.
An Ning looked at the two people, she frowned and said, "Why are you two walking carelessly, what if you bump into others." What are you holding in your hands, so happy? ”
An Ning's sharp eyes suddenly saw what they were holding in their hands in a panic.
"Clothes?"
"Patriarch, I'm sorry, we just accidentally bumped into you. ”
"I'm sorry!"
The two hurriedly apologized in a panic.
"It's the weekend, you don't go to work, and you just received this month's salary a few days ago, did you run to buy these two clothes? Don't you have clothes to wear?" An Ning asked.
"I'm sorry, we ......" Sister Jingli lowered her head and didn't know what to say.
The younger sister Jingmei muttered in a low voice: "Those clothes made of animal skins and plants are too ugly." Moreover, the lord of the castle, he said that this is the reward we get through our labor, and we have the right to control it. ”
"What? What is that bastard teaching nonsense?" An Ning said, staring at Jingmei.
"Sorry, we're going to return it right away. Jingli took her sister's hand and said in a panic.
"Alright, alright. I've seen you bullying my little workers from afar. At this time, Aslan's voice came from a distance.
"Lord of the Castle. ”
"Your Excellency the Castle Lord"
Aslan smiled and nodded.
"What's going on?" Aslan smiled as he walked over.
"Aslan City Lord, this is an internal matter of our elven clan, I hope you don't interfere. An Ning said.
Looking at the pitiful eyes of the two girls, Aslan decided to stand up for them again: "Although they are your clansmen, they are also my employees now." ”
After the elves joined them, Aslan found an advantage, that is, the elves all knew the writing of the continent, and the long-term experience also made their experience and work stronger than that of humans.
And with the continuous expansion of Flying Sky City, the City Lord's Mansion just lacks a group of people who have such knowledge and can write. So he proposed an employment contract to the elves, which was similar to that of the dwarves, except that he mainly did the work of writing notes.
But for the elves who had few requirements, there was nothing good about such a job, and in the end, only a few curious elves signed the employment contract.
And these two are one of them.
Shizumi leaned next to Aslan and said what had happened.
"What does this look like?" Aslan nodded, and he said to An Ning, "They are just in the prime of their youth according to the age of human beings, and it is normal for them to love beauty and beauty, and they use the money they have earned from their own labor to buy things, which is their freedom. ”
"Yes, yes. Jingmei behind him said, but he was glared at by An Ning's eyes, and his momentum softened again.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time, you can go back quickly. An Ning said helplessly.
"Thank you, Patriarch, and thank you, Lord Castle. Jingmei, let's go. Jingli took her sister's hand and began to leave.
"Goodbye, brother of the city lord. Jingmei greeted Aslan as she walked.
"Goodbye. ”
"I don't see it, you have a good relationship with them. An Ning stood next to Aslan and smiled.
"This is called rejoicing with the people, you don't always have a straight face in front of your people, and it looks better to smile more. Aslan said on the side: "By the way, are you still used to staying in Flying City this month?"
"Can't you get used to it? Look at those two girls, I suspect that what I'm saying now doesn't work as well as what you say. An Ning gave Aslan a blank look.
Aslan looked at An Ning, who was still wearing the same animal skin clothes she had worn from the beginning, but she didn't wear a hat to cover her ears.
"Anyway, you can change your clothes, and it's better to buy a nice dress than to wear this hide. Aslan suggested.
"I don't feel any different, as long as I can cover my body and dress comfortably, isn't it?" An Ning said incomprehensibly.
"You ......"
"Lord of the City, the Butler of Michelo is waiting for you in your office, looking for you on important matters. A soldier came running in a hurry.
"Ah, I see, I'll go over now. Aslan nodded, and he said to An Ning, "I'm sorry, I left beforehand." ”
"Well, if you have something to do, go and get busy. ”
With that, Aslan left.
An Ning looked at Aslan's back as she left, she looked at her clothes inexplicably, and said to herself, "Isn't it really good-looking?"
When An Ning was puzzled, a black figure walked behind her, stealthily walking in the direction of Aslan, but unfortunately the black figure was directly pressed to the ground by the two wood elves before she could take a few steps.
Pulling the cloak on his head, as expected, the black hair and black eyes were the remnants of the merchant fort.
Aslan also turned to look at the other party, his face showed sadness, once upon a time he was also proud of his yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, but after crossing over, he completely changed.
"It's the tenth of this month, judging from the list of searches, there are still seven people out of the merchant fort, it's really troublesome! ”
