Chapter 5 The Beginning of the South

The Atrium Continent has gone through the Giant Era, the Elven Era, and then to today's human civilization, there is no more suitable historian than the dragon, as far as the continent immortal species is concerned, the dragon has the longest life, as long as more than 2,000 years, and Her Majesty Timayat, the Dragon Mother, is said to have been born in the primordial, the heavens and the earth are immortal, and the Yuan is immortal.

On the embankment, the tall drow's silver eyes began to change, showing vertical pupils, and his body began to change, with scales and claws appearing, and his ribs and wings appeared. The old man of the housekeeper took a step sideways, and under the traction of the qi machine, the little dragon who was about to fight to the death was pressed back into the Zall form, drenched in cold sweat and unable to move. The little dragon with a hideous face stared at the old man in front of him viciously.

The old man waved his hand to relax, "The little girl has a big temper, I don't have any thoughts about you anymore, and besides, I'm so old, and I'm not interested in being a dragon slayer warrior." ”

Zhuo Er Xiaolong obviously didn't believe it, this old man didn't tell the truth.

The old man of the housekeeper was helpless, "If I want to hurt your life, did you run away?"

Drow Xiaolong thought about it, nodded, no longer struggled, the old man of the housekeeper also scattered his fist intent, looked at this little dragon who was only in his youth, and shook his head, "You guys, you are still this kind of temper, why are you here? Still look like Drow? It's rare for a dragon to become Drow." ”

Mourning is really regretting it now, damn high priest, if you can go back, the first thing you will do is to loot her tattered treasure house.

Wai Mi Ye has broken through the eggshell and climbed out, he has never seen his parents, and he has been alone in the eternal rain forest since he was a child, and the inheritance of the Xin Hao Dragon Clan is not passed on by word of mouth, but gradually wakes up from the subconscious of the young dragon, which makes the young Ai Mi Ye a lot better. With the exception of their rainforest-dwelling counterparts, other species are naturally afraid of dragons, which makes it difficult for Mourning to survive the infant dragon period. After that, Mourning Night showed the natural racial talent of the dragon clan, with a huge body, amazing strength, and unique dragon magic all allowed Mourning Night to survive in the rainforest without danger, and also received a lot of dependents, although these dependents are very wasteful, most of the powerful rainforest creatures are attached to a few ancient dragons, and no one will choose a young dragon wandering alone. This also led to the fact that the dragon born of the mourning night was relatively poor from childhood to adulthood, and was often laughed at by the same kind, and the mourning night has always been ashamed, and secretly determined that in the future, a large palace will be built in this rainforest, all of which will be cast in gold, and I, Her Majesty the Queen of the Mourning Night, must sit on a huge golden throne and look down on the entire eternal rainforest.

In order to realize this great dream and the obsession buried deep in his heart, Mourning decided to go out for a while. After yelling at the Eternal Rainforest in the early morning as a sign of resolve, she runs away, visiting an ancient dragon's lair and stopping for something to officially begin her adventure in the Night.

Since Mourning was running south, the first thing she saw was the city of the Drow elves, a group of graceful and cruel, beautiful and dissolute creatures, completely different from their distant relatives, and the two sides looked down on each other. Mourning Mi Ye transformed into a lilac-skinned elf, tall and tall, with shoulder-length silver hair, thin eyebrows and peach eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, mingling in the drow, thinking of ways to make money, but it has not been very successful. Until there was a halfway robbery and ran into the high priest of the Drow Holy City who was patrolling, he was seen through the disguise, and he couldn't escape in time, and was trapped by a shadow dimension, but the high priest saw that Mourning was a giant dragon and didn't make a ruthless move, God knows if an ancient dragon would run out of the rainforest to ask for someone in the future.

The high priest heard that Ai Mi Ye was out on an adventure, and of course, in the background of this story, there was an ancient dragon mother in Ai Mi Ye. invited Mourning to go to the underground holy city to become an honorary duke, and it is not a bad thing to be able to win over a dragon. Mourning night began to cheat in the city of Drow to eat and drink, and also received a bunch of new brothers, at first it was okay, the drow nobles were quite friendly to a dragon, but as time went on, coupled with a dragon's huge appetite, mourning night became a street dragon, everyone avoided. Some time ago, the drows fought with the Dawn Expeditionary Force, and because of the shyness of the bag and the persuasion of the high priest, Mourning Night ran to the battlefield to prepare for the gangsters' military exploits, maybe they could make a wave of windfalls, but they became prisoners in a daze under the defeat, and under the roar of the huge cannons of the entire expeditionary force, Gu Long did not dare to break in. Originally, it was nothing, anyway, she wanted to run and no one could stop her, but when she saw the expeditionary force carrying treasures to the ship one by one, she changed her attention, and honestly became a prisoner, and then there was the previous scene.

Seeing that the old man withdrew his fist intent and didn't punch him, he snorted, "I want you to care, since you know that I am a dragon, why don't you let me go quickly, and tell you that my father's mother is an ancient dragon, not weaker than you." ”

"Oh, who is your mother?Ms. Inotti?or Ms. Ai Jingpi?"

"Who is this? haven't you heard of this?" Mourning was a little weak-hearted, but on the surface, it looked like my mother was even more powerful than these. This old man is asking the Great Grandmaster of the Divine Realm, if it really has something to do with other dragon clans, it is likely that he will be recognized if he talks nonsense, anyway, he pretends to have an expression of which one you are, and he should be arrogant, the high priest who slammed the door was fooled like this.

"Haven't you heard of it? These are the best of your white dragons. The old man of the housekeeper was a little surprised, this little dragon didn't seem to have a good head, and he hadn't even heard of his own boss?

"You are the white dragon, and your whole family is. Ai Mi Ye thought that the old man was also suppressed by the reputation of the dragon clan, and deliberately continued to say arrogantly: "This prince is not one of those sick white dragons, I am the black dragon who is the lord of the earth, and the black dragon is mourning the night." ”

"It's a big breath, it's been a long time since the dragon has been so arrogant in front of me, and I miss it a little. The old man in charge clapped his hands and asked a little playfully: "Little Dragon Doll, do you know what happened to the dragon who spoke so loudly in front of me last time?"

Mourning Mi Ye felt that something was wrong, but he still said stiffly: "What can you do? Can you still kill it?" This old man does not have the breath of dragon blood on his body, and he is not very similar to the person who once slayed dragons.

"How dare I kill. The old man put his hands behind his back, and his tone was a little sad.

Wai Mi Ye put his heart down, felt a lot safer, and hesitated whether to comfort the old man, whether it was also because the old and shameless Gu Long robbed him of his treasure, and under empathy, Wai Mi Ye was also a little sad.

Suddenly, the old man laughed, "Those soft egg dragons all made me break my wings and legs, and hung on the Fingal Bridge to blow the sea breeze for more than half a month. ”

It's really sad this time, and it's cold.

The little dragon cubs of the Atrium Continent may not know when the Dragon Mother Timayat last appeared, and they will not have heard of Herman Barrett, the dragon slayer of the dog day. It is said that when Herman was the commander of the coalition forces in the Fingal Strait of the North Sea, he beheaded two dragon reinforcements who did not listen to the dispatch in public by military law, which caused the dissatisfaction of the dragons, and a group of dragon descendants were tricked into running to the barracks to find an explanation. The old butler, who was only thirty-seven years old at the time, walked out of the Thunder Fortress, stood on the edge of the Fingal Bridge, and shouted to a group of colorful dragons: "Fight alone or fight in a group, come, I'm here." "Of course, the dragons are arrogant, and then they are hung on the bridge that connects the giants to the kingdom of giants, and the most hateful thing is that Herman pretends to be exhausted in order to keep the dragons from retreating halfway, and every time he finishes a fight, he seems to be weak with a punch, and his body is bruised as if he only has half a life left, which is simply black heart, and afterwards he has a nickname of 'dragon fighter', a real dragon nemesis.

Mourning the night felt that the dragon was gray, and encountered such a black-bellied killing god. Your Majesty Timayat, as long as you keep me safe, I will offer half of the treasure house of the lair, uh, it's a lot, three points... A tenth of them is good, Your Majesty Tiamat bless.

"How can you black dragon doll breathe the cold breath of a white dragon, what about your parents?" the old man of the housekeeper spoke in a kind tone, without the slightest awareness of being an enemy of the dragon clan.

"I don't know, maybe dead. "Mourning is weak, and His Majesty Timaiat has not yet responded to her.

The old man of the housekeeper did not continue to ask, the atmosphere was silent for a while, and he secretly glanced at it a few times, the old man looked a little depressed, as if he was indeed old, human beings are pitiful, and the people who stood on the north coast and let the waves rage old so quickly.

"If you don't have a place to go, just stay. The old butler exhaled when he saw Master Evan and Fiona heading towards the shore in a speedboat. "I was friends with quite a few dragons when I was younger, so I can point you out if I have nothing to do. ”

Wai Mi Ye didn't speak, I don't believe it, my friend? The kind that hangs my friends under the bridge? Besides, the dragon clan has its own heritage, and it doesn't need others to dictate it, and Wai Mi Ye still has the pride of being a dragon.

The old man in charge thought about it again, pointed to Ai Wen on the speedboat and said, "Do you see that young man?"

"Hmm" Wai Mi Ye nodded, I don't know why, it's just a son of dawn who doesn't have much ability, what's wrong?

"He is the eldest son of the current Duke of Dawn, the future Duke of Dawn, the owner of the treasures of those great ships. The old man of the housekeeper betrayed Ai Wen without hesitation, "Follow him, there is a lot of money, and I can't count it and spend it endlessly." ”

Mourning Mi Yedeng's eyes widened, exuding a shining light, "Even if he can become a duke, the money is his, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"It costs a lot of money to raise a space mage, and the young master doesn't know. ”

"But this man is only three... Well, the four rings, he only gave one a day. ”

"Don't you need money to build a mage tower?

"He'll ask!" said Wai Mi Ye, clenching his fists excitedly.

"Oh, who do you think my young master will ask?" the old man of the housekeeper Zhizhu was holding.

At this moment, Mourning Ye felt that this old man was some kind of dragon nemesis, obviously a savior, a good friend of the dragon clan, and nodded again and again, indicating that he understood, and his face was full of light.

The old man made a vague gesture, and Mourning was suddenly clear, and he gestured two and eight with his hand, and after thinking about it, he quickly changed it to three and seven.

The old man of the housekeeper smiled dumbly, it was really a black dragon, haha.

Seeing that the old man did not speak, but laughed, he was quite embarrassed and a little angry for a while. Well, greedy enough, seeing that the speedboat was getting closer and closer, he was very unwilling to draw a four, and his face hurt.

This time, the old man bowed slightly, and the children could be taught. "By the way, Xiaolong Doll, don't call yourself your father in the future, it sounds awkward. ”

Mourning Night moved his mouth, did not make a sound, and had short hands, plus this old man is still the notorious 'dragon fighter of dog days', although except for the two unlucky dragons, the other dragons were only injured, but Mourning Night did not dare to be too presumptuous. If you don't say it, don't say it, think about the sound of the gold coins in your hand, what Duke Zhuoer, it's good to have nothing.

Evan and Fiona have already landed, both in red uniforms, and the two are side-by-side, an unexpected match. Mourning Night secretly scolded the dog man and woman, cut himself several times, and sooner or later he had to return it.

The group of four took the guards back to the camp, and on the way, Ai Wen gave the old man the butler a look, and the two of them took a few steps slowly, and opened a little distance from the two ladies in front.

Ai Wen glanced ahead, and then winked at the old butler, how is it?

The old man in charge nodded, no problem, it's done. Then he took out a gold coin and tossed it to Aven.

Ai Wen stretched out his left hand, spread his five fingers, and shook it, five in a day?

The old man shook his head, and Evan put away his thumb, four is acceptable.

Still shaking his head, Aven put away another one, three?

The old butler thought for a moment, quietly pointed to the fleet that could still be seen, and then stretched out his index finger and half-bent down.

Believing this, Evan exclaimed, "Half a fleet?!fucking ......"

The two in front of them looked back, and Fiona looked puzzled, what kind of demon is this kid doing. And Mourning Night was secretly excited, the famous 'Dragon Fighter' old man was really reliable, completely forgetting how dark this old man was in front of him, but would there be too much in half of the fleet, and he couldn't chew it if he was greedy, in case the old man messed up, it would be over, so he quickly winked at the old man, being careful and taking every step of the way.

The old man waved his hand, first signaled to the two in front of him that it was okay, and then said to Ai Wen: "No, no, as long as half a boat, how can you ask for half a fleet, it is not a one-time give, and it will not take a year and a half to build a fortress." ”

Fiona and Wai Mi Ye turned back, but Fiona glared at Aven, was it surprised that it would cost half the fleet to build a fortress?

Ai Wen and the others turned their heads, pointed at the tall Zhuoer again, and frowned, is it worth it?

The old man nodded affirmatively, hesitated for a moment, felt that it was not enough, and focused again.

Ai Wen didn't ask anymore, just stared at Mourning Night curiously, I can't see it, the old man will give this Zhuoer such a high evaluation, half a ship, this is the price of the Seven Rings Mage, the old man is old, just don't be dazzled.

Is a strange black dragon that can breathe white dragons breath and has spatial abilities worth it? Maybe it doesn't weigh as much as half of the treasure now, and I'm afraid it won't be able to exchange for half of the dawn collar in the future. If it weren't for the fact that this black dragon had just come out and had never seen much of the world, and the group of drow elves in the south were also in a broken household with their ancestors, and now there was such a vicious vision of the old man, otherwise it would not be Ai Wen's turn to pick and choose. Is Ai Wen losing? made a lot of money, of course, provided that Mourning Night can grow up safely. However, in front of the most notorious dragon fighters in the eyes of the dragon clan of the Atrium Continent for a long time, what else is there to be afraid of, it is a certainty, and it is safe to make a profit.

In the middle of the day, the entire military camp was at ease, only the surrounding outposts were still on guard.

Back at the camp of the Chinese army, the three of them ate their lunch quietly, the taste was average, and the portion was full. Evan felt that she might not be able to raise this drow magician, she had already eaten ten servings, and she showed no signs of stopping at all, and sure enough, she had a big belly.

The three of them silently slowed down the speed of eating, and Ai Wen even asked for a second serving, which was a little enough. Finally, when the mourning night stopped, the three of them immediately ended their lunchtime.

Mourning Night stroked his chest and sighed contentedly, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

Evan then asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet." ”

Mourning Night looked at the three of them, "Ben...... My name mourns the night. ”

Evan has a headache and can't speak without a strange accent?" "Okay, Mourning Night, do you have any requirements for the contract?"

Mourning was furious and said, "Impossible, I'm not going to make any contracts, rude human beings, delusional. ”

Ai Wen didn't react, what's the situation? Fiona also squinted at Ai Wen with disdain, the nature of the color embryo.

The old man in charge looked helpless, "Young master, the contract will involve the soul, and no life is willing to give the soul to others." ”

Ai Wen looked puzzled, looked left and right, and whispered, "A piece of paper has such a binding force?"

The four of them looked at each other, can we make it clear, in fact, the positions of the two sides are different. Aven didn't know that Mourning was a dragon, and he wouldn't want to sign a soul pact with a Drow. As a wandering dragon alone, Mourning Night is quite sensitive to such words, and is quite excited for a while, which causes the scene to be so embarrassing.

Wai Mi Ye obviously understood that he had misunderstood Ai Wen, but he wanted a giant dragon to apologize, which was obviously impossible with Ai Wen's current strength, so Ai Mi Ye Shi Shi sat back, picked up the cup and took a sip. "Ahem, what contract?"

Evan rolled his eyes, "Sign the contract, and I officially hire you as my magic advisor, which is the employment contract. ”

Mourning squinted her eyes and smiled like a fox, "No problem, I'll sign, I'll sign." ”

Ai Wen glanced at the old man who was sitting precariously, how did this old man fool, why didn't he find that the old man still had this hand before, "Okay, you can discuss it with my housekeeper specifically, and if you have any requirements, just mention it." "A rich tone.

When Wai Mi Ye heard that he was really discussing with the old man, he suddenly smiled even brighter, slightly opened his slightly thin lips, showed his neat teeth, and looked at Ai Wen with his hair hanging on his side. Charm is natural, and the city and country are captivated.

Wai Mi Ye thought in his heart that Ai Wen was a stupid son of a rich man's family, and Ai Wen thought in his heart that this Ai Mi Ye was a stupid woman again.

Fiona watched Evan buy people's hearts with the gold coins she had worked so hard to get back, she was not very happy, and clapped her hands, "Okay, you can go down and talk about it yourself, what are Colonel Avan's regulations regarding the construction of fortresses and expeditionary force garrisons?"

Evan didn't know why, why was this one angry, the woman was really troublesome. "Regarding the fortress, is there anyone in the army who is proficient in the construction of the city?"

Fiona thought for a moment, "Yes, but the people are in the Warm Wind Fortress, and the Thermo family has built the fortress and built the warship for generations, and the Warm Wind Fortress is built by them. ”

"Okay, I'll send a message to General Dominique and ask him for help. Evan paused, "That manpower is going to trouble you, General." ”

Fiona frowned, "A large fortress with only 20,000 troops and more than 10,000 captives cannot be built before winter, and can only build simple town dwellings. How many years are you going to repair?"

Ai Wen had already thought about it, "Recruitment, for the entire Dawn Collar, and even for all those who are willing to come, recruit workers at a high price." 70,000 workers plus 10,000 prisoners, two years. ”

Fiona scoffed, "The Dawn Collar has a total population of only 300,000 households, and there are not that many floating populations, unless they are conscripted. ”

"That's why I said as long as you want to come, from any person, whatever race. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ai Wen took a sip of tea from his cup, "I understand that in recent years, the Drow in the south, as well as their subordinate races, have not had a good time, and some people are willing to come for the sake of stuttering, aren't they?"

Fiona remembered the alien soldiers who were not afraid of death when she landed in the coastal city of Drow, and nodded, "The gray dwarves and some orc tribes in the south do serve Drow as mercenaries, they are good warriors and manpower supplements, but they are far away from home, or the territory of hostile forces, they will risk being pursued by Drow and travel thousands of miles to help us build the city?"

Ai Wen shook his finger and raised an eyebrow, "It's work, not help." ”

Fiona was puzzled, "So what? ”

"What if I take in their entire tribe?"

"Are you crazy?" Fiona's face suddenly darkened, suppressing her anger, "boy, you are whimsical, don't talk so much, just the blood debt between us is enough to drown your ridiculous thoughts." ”

"You know, I didn't mean that, there are so many tribes, we can pick and choose. Evan's face was calm and he didn't lose his breath.

Fiona tapped her hand on the table, word by word. "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. ”

Ai Wen suddenly laughed, as soon as Fiona heard the laughter, she half-narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curved, Ai Wen's heart rang with alarm bells, and quickly explained: "I'm not laughing at you, Aunt Fiona, I just think that your angry appearance is actually quite cute, and you look a lot younger." "The old man of the housekeeper and the mourning night covered their faces together, and if they couldn't speak, don't speak. Fiona picked up the knife and threw it straight over, grazing Aven's head and flying out, Evan sweated profusely, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Slip of the tongue, Sister Fiona, you look at it and you're only in your early twenties, really, really." ”

Fiona drew her long sword, put it on the table, and said lightly, "Shut up." "It's powerful, and it's easy to say.

After a long while, the female general took a deep breath, folded her hands, and put them in front of her nose, "Go on." ”

Ai Wen scolded the old woman and pondered for a while, "Regardless of conscription, we can recruit about 40,000 to 50,000 laborers from the Dawn Territory, plus 10,000 captives, then there is only a labor gap of about 20,000, that is, the population of two large tribes, how can they be enough for those eight words." Besides, it is completely possible to break up the tribes after completion, so that there is no population threat. ”

Fiona still frowned, although this kid was right, if it was only 20,000 people, it wouldn't be able to make any waves, but he always felt that there was a problem, as if he was hiding something. Fiona nodded, indicating no objection.

Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief, the old aunt agreed, there was no resistance to this matter, and then looked at Wai Miye, "This matter, I have to ask you." ”

Wai Mi Ye was a little surprised, but it was right to think about it, her current identity was the captured Duke of Drow, and there was no more suitable person for this matter than her fake Drow, but wasn't he worried that he would never return?" "Of course you can, but can you rest assured that I will go? I am a rightful Duke on Drow's side." ”

"Don't worry, of course don't worry, I'm going to go with you. "Ai Wen's words are convincing, I don't worry about you doing things.

Mourning Miye raised his eyebrows, "The little guy is not timid, I'm not afraid that I will regret it halfway, and you won't even be able to bring the body back when the time comes." ”

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. Ai Wen said: "I believe in you." "I don't have half a gold coin worth it.

Mourning Night stared at Ai Wen for a while, did not answer, nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, a little bitter, next time I want to put some sugar.

Fiona became more and more puzzled, this matter really needs to be run by Evan himself? Besides, once and again, even if he successfully abducts a population of 20,000 people, everything goes well, how can it take half a year, and it will already be winter by then. By the way, 20,000 people, do you need to go to the Dark Peninsula by yourself? No need at all, you can solve this problem by buying slaves directly, I was almost surrounded by this kid, he was deliberately angry with me, there must be something The real reason why he wanted him to go to the Dark Peninsula in person is the purpose of hiding in the shadows, Evan didn't notice that the corners of Fiona's mouth hidden behind his hand were slightly upturned. Hehe, good boy, almost got you running away.

Fiona smiled with her eyebrows, I am not as foolish as this stupid Zhuoer on the other side, I was coaxed by your words and couldn't find the north, "You are gone, what should I do here? Who will preside over the construction of the fortress?"

Evan replied quickly, almost without thinking, "The butler will stay here, and you can discuss anything with him." ”

The old man of the housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, and he was surprised, he really planned to go with me alone?

Fiona guessed, he deliberately distracted the people around him, and then went south with a stranger, playing some tricks, some excitement, a game of cat and mouse, and she was already catching the tail of the mouse.

Fiona nodded, signaling that there would be a steward.

Seeing this, Ai Wen got up and prepared to leave, "Okay, when everything is arranged, I will set off for the south, we will return first, Mourning is not suitable for living in the barracks now." ”

Fiona pretended to get up to send him off, but called out to Evan as he lifted the tent, "Colonel Evan wait a minute, I just remembered, there are still some military affairs to discuss with you, can you let Mr. Herman and Lady Mourning go back first?"

Evan didn't quite understand, "Military affairs, didn't Dominique tell you that you are optimistic about the navy? I don't have the idea of mixing, so you don't need to test me." ”

Fiona coughed twice, "He didn't ask me to reject you completely, did he?" if nothing else, you will be the lord of the new fortress, and the naval garrison will not be able to avoid you, so it is better to talk about it now than to make trouble then." ”

Aven was right to think about it, but he didn't plan to take care of this mess, anyway, just leave it to Fiona, and it would be negotiated in a quarter of an hour. "Don't be so troublesome, you can make it clear in a moment," and said to the old man and the housekeeper, "You wait for me for a quarter of an hour." ”

But hearing Fiona's dissatisfied, she said with a little anger: "Military secrets, not a lieutenant general, can't know, Colonel Aven, don't you know?"

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he was ashamed, the law of leading the army at dawn is strict, the rules and discipline are fine, and anyone who leaks military affairs will be whipped twenty at the lightest, and the head will be punished to show the public. "I'm sorry, I was careless, you guys wait for me outside. ”

Fiona saw that Evan apologized so easily, a little unexpected, and was speechless for a while, but she was not prepared to talk for a while, cat and mouse, not to do enough foreplay, "There are a lot of military affairs, you have to stay in the barracks this afternoon, let them go back first." ”

Evan looked at Fiona strangely, what does the old woman want to do, she doesn't want to take the opportunity to fix me, right? "No, I still have to practice swords in the afternoon, I'm afraid I can't stay here, I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Fiona snorted, "Colonel Aven, this is a military order, I am a general, you are a colonel, and I have the right to order you in the barracks." Why, my 20,000 expeditionary soldiers are not qualified to accompany the earl to practice?" Fiona found that this kid had more respect for the army, and yes, no matter how he didn't succeed, he was also a son of the dawn.

Ai Wen is helpless, yes, this is all on the line, after practicing the sword for so many years, he has not broken through the fire and blood realm, but his ability to resist fighting is becoming more and more perfect, and it is not bad this time. "Old man, you go back with Mourning Night first, remember not to embarrass Koloai, I have agreed, don't be old and stubborn. ”

The old man of the housekeeper nodded, the people of Barriet's family are destined to go to see the scenery of the waves in the North Sea, I ran away back then, and this face has to be won back by my daughter, and it is too late to be happy as a father. It's just that the young master is going south, and his daughter is going to travel north, and they are all grown up, and when they wish to see each other again, they will be as young as they are young, and they will be smiling.

The two left first, while Evan and Fiona sat back in the tent facing each other, staring wide-eyed.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"What, are you in a hurry to go back and go on a date with your little lover?"

"Huh. ”

"It is up to you to decide on the commendation of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force and the bereaved family benefits. ”

"Isn't that mistaken? This matter has always been arranged by the Duke of Dawn himself, and the military law of Dawn also understands that it is a big crime to deal with it privately. ”

"Yes, that's right, but because the expeditionary force has been fighting overseas all the year round, far away from the dawn collar, and it can be as short as half a year, or as long as two or three years, it is too late to wait for the commendation of the dawn collar, the morale needs to be boosted, and the military family needs to be appeased, so His Excellency the Duke of Adonis authorized the expeditionary force to reward and promote sergeants in advance, and report afterwards, of course, in the name of His Excellency the Duke. ”

"This should be for the long period of war, this expedition has only been half a year, not to mention that now that it has returned to the port, I think the Duke's commendation order will come soon. ”

Fiona shrugged and coughed, "Well, General Dominic usually raises the amount of the commendation by a lot more than the Order. ”

Evan was a little surprised, "Is Dominic going to rebel, such a blatant bribe?"

Fiona gave a blank look, "What are you thinking? Your father agreed." ”

Evan pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Oh, that's right. ”

Fiona slammed the door, "Do you understand? So you have to pay for the money needed for this commendation, and if you wait for the Duke's commendation order to come down, you can't send it more." ”

"Well, I see, how much is needed?"

"It's still verifying, the specific amount will be given to you tomorrow, and then you can report it to His Excellency the Duke. ”

Ai Wen leaned on the table, stretched out his arms, and said lazily with his side face against the table: "So, I'm just a person who pays money and carries the blame." ”

"Haha. Fiona smiled awkwardly and picked up her teacup, her eyes wandering.

Ai Wen suddenly raised his head, rested his chin on the table, and said loudly, "I regret it and don't do it." ”

Fiona was surprisingly lifeless, Evan's appearance reminded her of her brother's appearance of being a scoundrel when he was a child, this kid is only nineteen years old, two years younger than Adair, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "Then what do you want?"

Evan complained, not thinking about anything, but Fiona was stumped when she asked. What can I want, Ai Wen thinks about it, he doesn't seem to have lacked anything since he was a child, but he hasn't made any progress in sword practice, and she probably can't help it. Others, if I say touch my legs, will I be killed?

Fiona's eyes rolled, and suddenly the corners of her mouth rose, and she raised her long eyebrows, and her voice was slightly provocative, "Tell me why you want to go to the south, don't talk about any population tribes, say it, then what you were thinking just now, maybe I will promise you." ”

Evan swallowed, propped himself up, and shook his head, "I didn't think about anything, no." "The eldest sister said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people, and she can't believe it, although the eldest sister herself is very good-looking.

Fiona chuckled, as if mocking. She got up and walked up to Aven, one foot and half on the edge of the table, leaning forward, one hand on her waist and the other flat on her knee, "Don't you always want to touch it? Don't you try? He pressed his toes as he spoke, as if to say that Evan was not honest enough.

Ai Wen is usually flamboyant, to be honest, he hasn't touched anyone for so many years. Usually Ai Wen just ran away with a few words, but now Fiona's aura has firmly suppressed Ai Wen, and Ai Wen is a little uneasy for the first time, and sits up straight, "Really?"

Fiona didn't speak, shaking her legs.

Ai Wen touched his nose with one hand and lowered his voice, "Actually, I want to go to the new court." ”

"Oh, why?"

"Once the new fortress is completed, I intend to open a shipping route from here along the coastline of the Dark Peninsula to the western part of the New Court Empire, and even all the way to the east. ”

Fiona shook her head, "The merchants have already tried, no more than the calm east side of the Storm Sea, the western sea is raging with storms, and the Drow often take advantage of the fire to rob, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Evan was noncommittal, "So after seeing you, I have this idea, and there is no more suitable than the Dawn Expeditionary Force in the western part of the Megatron Sea, which has become more and more powerful in recent years." ”

Fiona was a little surprised, if it was really feasible, it would be a great fortune, worth a try, nodding, the navy could fully participate in it and get a piece of the pie.

Seeing her nodding, Ai Wen looked ahead, and the navy-cut standard trousers fit very well, slender and straight. So Evan poked out his right hand, and before he could touch the fiery red cloth, Fiona grabbed his wrist and turned it over and buckled it on the table.

Ai Wen, who was in pain, quickly turned his upper body sideways and shouted, "What are you doing? Liar, it hurts, it hurts." ”

"Hmph," Fiona continued to hold Evan's right hand with one hand, and then sat down across from the low table, "who is the liar? You touched your nose three times when you spoke, once with your mouth, and once with your collar, so how can I believe you, this is what you don't want, but it's not that I regret it. Her instincts told her that this might just be one of his plans to travel south, like the 20,000 people.

Ai Wen was embarrassed, and the old aunt would still do this? Hurriedly said: "I didn't, wronged, what I said is the truth, Sister Fiona, I can swear." ”

Fiona sneered, unmoved. As both of them leaned forward, Fiona's long, burgundy hair, hanging straight down the side of her face, was gently blown by the breeze through the tent, and the ends of her hair rose and floated to Aven's face, a little itchy, on her face, on her heart.

Fiona was stunned for a moment, and then saw Aven's gradually flushed cheeks, and laughed, what a brat.

Ai Wen was annoyed and angry, broke away his right hand, and threw himself forward, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of the gall, old woman, if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it. It's a pity that before he touched it, he was punched in the forehead by Fiona, leaned back, dizzy, and pretended to be dead on the ground.

Fiona took a moment to stop laughing, looking at the kid lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and wanted to tease, "Hey, boy, before you go, what I said works." ”

Evan rolled his eyes and turned sideways, the eldest sister was right. The second sister is like this, Koloai's little girl is like this, and now even Fiona, a seemingly strict woman, is like this.

Fiona curled the corners of her mouth, "Boy, don't you still have to practice swords in the afternoon?" My swordsmanship is okay, how about I help you practice later?"

Ai Wenden sat up and waved his hand again and again, "No, no, I'll go back to practice later, so I won't trouble you." ”

Fiona turned a deaf ear and said to herself: "Well, that's it, let's practice swords in the afternoon." ”

As soon as Evan was about to open his mouth to refute, he was stared at by Fiona, and changed his words: "Okay, okay." "Sooner or later, I will take revenge on you.

Fiona nodded with satisfaction, "You go to the tent next to you to rest first, so as not to get weak feet and not be beaten." ”

The corners of Ai Wen's mouth twitched, endure it, he couldn't beat it now, so he got up and saluted, "Okay, Your Excellency General, I will definitely not let you down." ”

"Well, go ahead, go to the gate and find the guards, they will take you there. Fiona waved her hand, full of bosses.

Ai Wen turned around and went out, before being beaten, Lao Tzu first wanted to go to sleep, and he was a little sleepy at noon.

Fiona sat back in her seat, crossed her hands on her chin, and looked at the door of the big tent, her face blank and thoughtful.

The fragrance of the faint orchid is stumbling in the corner of the mountain.
