Chapter 199: A Generous Gift
Standing on the platform at the top of Luyun Castle, looking at the red sun erupting from the east, the fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles, the vast blue sea, the bustling city, and the wide Lula River flowing under the castle like a silver belt, although I have seen it many times, I still won't get tired of it.
Perhaps by nature, or perhaps by the convenience of transportation, human beings have always preferred to live at the mouth of the river, forming villages and then naturally developing into cities. This is the case of Lu Yuncheng, such a small fishing village from the mouth of the river to the sea, which has rapidly developed into one of the few large cities on the Violet Continent in just a few decades.
As the only outlet of the Caiyun Empire in the Earth's Heart Sea, Lu Yuncheng's status in the empire is very similar to that of the Red Leaf Empire's Ryan City, both are strategic locations, both are naval bases, are also regional trade and economic centers, and are also the second largest cities in the empire, of course, they are also a rich and beautiful city.
The Lula River, which feeds millions of people, turns in a semicircle and eventually joins the Inner Sea. The castle area of Luyun City is located on the west bank of the river, which is a hilly area with higher terrain, the sea to the north and the river to the east and south. On the southeast bank of the river is a very large civilian area, which is now home to up to 200,000 inhabitants.
As the fiery morning sun rises, the whole city seems to wake up in an instant, and everywhere is the crowd flowing like a boiling river, the market is noisy, the river is covered with lovely sails, and the curling smoke rises from countless houses, drawing black pink marks in the sky.
This is the city of Lula, a dreamy and real city. My city.
As usual, Alice likes to come to the top floor of the castle at this time and enjoy the morning view of the sunrise at the most beautiful moment of the city.
Linya gently came to her side and hugged her arm. "Sister Alice, what are you thinking about when you're so distracted?"
"It's so beautiful...... Alice exclaimed, looking at the morning glow in the distance.
"yes, it's beautiful...... All right. ”
"Sister Linya, what's wrong with you. Don't you seem to be happy?"
"Hmph, you still say!
When I wake up in the morning and open my eyes, I find that you are gone, can I still be happy?" Linya frowned. Because there are many details to discuss the story that will happen today, Linya uses this excuse to cheekily burrow into Alice's bed. Actually, it's just that this little girl has gone bad again.
Alice could only smile. It is as noble and elegant as the cherry blossoms that bloom. "Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault. My dear little Linya. Don't be angry!"
"My wounded heart. Need to make amends!" Linya salivated, taking the opportunity to gain an inch.
Alice smiled helplessly, picked up the face of her coquettish little sister, and kissed her little mouth, and Linya smiled at this time.
"You've been here. Don't dare to hurry up and dress up, there's not much time. Queen Cyryl rushed up in a rage. grabbed the pair of little sisters who were still enjoying the intimate time of Qingqing and me, and pulled them back to the dormitory.
Oh my God, such a romantic and beautiful atmosphere...... Linya genuinely felt the urge to kick her back into the stairs. But of course it's impossible. This light bulb is so infuriating. Every time I run out to disturb my own good deeds......
And then...... It was to put on the most beautiful, the most beautiful, the most noble and elegant winter dress, the golden crown, and the most extravagant jewelry, with the help of the supervised by Cyryl, who had already been dressed...... By the way, seeing the huge ruby blazing star around Cyryl's neck, Linya hurriedly touched out the priceless precious bright star that still had body temperature in her arms, and the room suddenly lit up.
Now the bright star has replaced the gold bracelet with a string of pearls of the same size that is connected by gold threads, and has become a necklace. Even Cyryl, who had seen too many treasures, couldn't help but admire again.
"The Bright Star, the legendary treasure, is truly fascinating. That Rofitte gave him a national treasure, so it seems that he is sincere to you?" Cyryl quipped, touching Linya's little face.
Linya pursed her lips and said, "Don't mention that guy, a small test will make him show his original form." Men, none of them are reliable, they are all hypocritical!"
Cyril nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Linya is right, you must not believe the rhetoric of those stinky men." "These two men are very much in agreement when it comes to looking at men. "But, my dear little moon, are you going to wear two necklaces?" asked Cyryl, seeing the azure star around Linya's neck.
"Of course not!" Linya came to Alice's side, untied the necklace, and smiled sweetly: "Sister Alice, come and I'll help you put it on!"
On the way to Lu Yun, Linya had been thinking about whether to give this bright star to Alice, after all, she was already a seventh-order light magister, and she needed this magical light magic gem more than herself. As for himself, he still mainly uses water magic and ice crystal bows, and it is enough to have a blue star.
Linya originally wanted to use this diamond as a wedding gift...... Well, yes, propose. But Linya's skin is really not thick to that extent, what if she misunderstands that she is a pervert...... After all, she is still a daughter, and there is no way for a girl to marry another girl. Besides, with Cyryl by her side, Linya was even more embarrassed to say such bold words. Is he still too lacking in courage after all?
Alice blinked, startled, and said, "What...... That's not going to work, Linya, it's your baby!"
"It's nothing, what's mine is yours, there's no need to divide each other. Sister Alice, just put it on!"
"No, no, it must not! I can't ask for something so valuable! It's a priceless treasure!" said Alice, resolutely.
Actually, what's mine is yours, and when you become mine, won't you earn everything back...... Of course, this evil thought is only fleeting, and our cute little Linya is not the kind of sinister villain, ahem. But since she refused to accept it anyway, and she was embarrassed to propose, she should be persuaded to wear it first, and then talk about it later, the curve attack can be regarded as a victory.
"Sister Alice, listen to me. We're going to slay those evil and powerful dragons today, and this Diamond of Light can help you. Even if I lend it to you for the time being, it's finally okay, right?" Linya persuaded very sincerely.
The strange brilliance of the bright star is a magical charm that no girl can resist. Alice was no exception, but reason told her that she could not accept such a gift of immeasurable value. But now that Linya said that she was borrowing, she could try such a treasure, and it was a temptation that she couldn't refuse.
Alice fell silent with a blush. Linya stood on tiptoe and carefully put the bright star on her, the diamond echoing the brilliance of the beauty, making it impossible to look at it directly. Linya withdrew her arms and looked enviously at Alice's pretty face, which had shyly turned red, and showed a sweet and lovely smile again.
"Sister Alice, you are so beautiful!"
Then she looked back at Cyryl as if in protest, a smug look in her eyes.
But Cyril is still petrified there. (To be continued......)
