Chapter 401: Winter in the Fjord

Fjords, Sleeping Island., Chinese, novels...

When the last house rose, the skyline had turned dim. Although there was no sunset, the afterglow through the clouds still left a golden ray of light on the sea. If it weren't for the cold wind blowing towards it, this scene would not look much different from autumn.

"Okay, that's done." Lian lifted the scarf around her neck so that her ears could be wrapped in soft cotton wool. "Next, just move the furniture and bed quilt in and you can move in."

"Masterpiece!" Durat Kingshu clapped his hands, "I thought so many houses were built in just half a month, and I thought Lord Tilly was just exaggerating at first."

"Mr. Tilly never lie." Hefeng interrupted.

"Yes," he said, touching his thick double chin, "this way, I can move the people here with confidence. Huh? What is this?"

The businessman from the Fenyue Bay curiously groped in the bulging groove-like low walls in the house, bent down, poked his head inside and looked back and forth.

"This is the heating thing I learned in the Western Region, called the kang," Lian explained. "It is connected to the kitchen, and as long as the fire rises there, the pit will become very warm. Then lay a layer of wood on it and mattress on it, whether it is a bench or a bed, it is much more comfortable than ordinary furniture, especially in winter."

"Interesting design," Durat looked at Lian, "How many golden dragons would be needed if you were hired for a long time?"

"Uh...what does it mean?" Lian was slightly stunned.

"I go to work in Xinyue Bay. There are still a few deserted beaches in my territory that have not been developed. Your ability is an excellent helper." He rubbed his hands and said, "How many golden dragons do you need to pay for Maleficent Curse? Only then will Master Tilly agree to let you follow me?"

"No, I never thought about leaving"

"You can live a much better life there," Durat interrupted. "You can live in the same courtyard as me, enjoy wine and game from the four kingdoms every day. Walking anywhere with servants is a life that many people long for, as long as you work for me, it is not a problem. Besides, did Lord Tilly say that Maleficent will meet your requests, and I can afford the recruitment fee."

Lian frowned. She was not unfamiliar with this attitude. She kept saying that it was a hiring, but in fact it was not much different from buying herself. Just when she wanted to scold her loudly, Hefeng gently held her hand, "Ask any requests, does not mean that she must agree. Some things cannot be done by the witch. And the other point of reaching a contract is that the parties involved must agree."

"You mean I can't pay it back? I've never seen anyone doing business like this," Durat said unhappily, "Are you just talking about Maleficent to tease us? Sooner or later, no one will care about it."

"That's not necessarily," someone suddenly said behind him, "Whether it is the fjord or the four kingdoms, the reward guild composed of witches is just this. If you don't come here, you will naturally have someone else to come."

"You are again." The businessman turned his head and couldn't help but be stunned, "Lei, Lord Thunder!"

"I had an idea when Maleficent drafting the charter. The contract required the approval of the employer to sign a contract. Considering the possible risks in the task, you can't force them to go," Thunder laughed loudly, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

"No...this is very reasonable," Durat's expression quickly returned to normal, "then... I will have to trouble you in the future, Miss Lian."

"Huh," Lian looked at the merchants and their group of people leaving and sighed relieved, "Thank you."

"It's okay, I just happened to pass by," Lei Ting smiled, "Aren't you following Lord Tilly to the West?"

"Well, but I'm with Honey, Hefeng is back first, because Sleeping Island needs to prepare supplies and houses for the winter," she briefly said, "Have you completed your adventure?"

"Hahaha, that's right... this is really an incredible journey," said Thunder's eyes emitting light. "For the first time, I saw that there were sea surfaces of completely different heights in the sea. The ships almost seemed to fly up, vertically towards the cliff formed by the waves, but we did not fall into the deep sea! If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, I would never believe that there were such strange scenes in the world."

"The sea surface of different heights?" Lian murmured. What kind of scene is this? The sea water is not a stone, so won't it flow down?"

"Well, I named it the sea line, just northeast of the Shadow Islands. After turning it up, the cliff is like a long line with invisible edges, dividing the ocean into two completely different sections." He patted his chest excitedly, "I can't wait to try the next further voyage!"

He is worthy of being the most outstanding explorer in the fjord. The first thing he talks about when he comes back is adventure, not his daughter who is far away in the Western Region... Lian shook her head helplessly as she looked at the other party talking.

When night fell and the temperature outside dropped sharply, Lian climbed onto the bed early, which was also the most relaxing moment of the day. In the past month, in addition to building a batch of new houses, she also renovated the old houses of other witches. She squeezed into the warm kang bed with everyone, nagging what she saw and heard in the Bianfeng Town, answering questions that her friends were sometimes curious and sometimes envious, and could chat for most of the night.

This time I talk about the bird kissing mushrooms.

When it comes to placing it in a little butter and rolling it back and forth for a few times, frying until both sides are golden and sprinkling with some salt, it is a very delicious dish, and there is a sound of swallowing sound around it.

"Ah...I want to eat this too." Youying shouted, "I chewed dried fish on the boat for a month, and now my mouth is full of salt."

"It's great," Morriel couldn't help pinching Lian, "I would have liked that Mr. Tilly's brother invited me."

"Hey, you haven't heard it," someone laughed. "Water comes directly from the walls when taking a bath there, and soap that can make the whole body smell after washing."

"Is there such a thing really?" Youying said curiously.

"Of course, I brought one back," Lian curled her lips, "but it's already used up."

"Stop talking about this, they have at least experienced it. After I followed Lord Tilly to the Western Region, I immediately picked them up and enjoyed nothing!" Hefeng complained.

Listening to the witches' discussion, Lian couldn't help but have an idea popped up in her mind.

If the one who wants to "hire" himself for a long time is His Highness Roland Wimbledon, not Durat Kingshu, would he agree?

After thinking about it, she found that if the other party was Roland, she could not even say no to reject it.

It's so embarrassing!

Lian shrank into the quilt and looked around. Fortunately, the oil lamp has been blown out now, so no one will notice their little thoughts.

But when will Lord Tilly accept His Highness Roland?

It would be great if they could be together all the time... Lian tightened the scarf in her arms, so that she could live happily in Bianfeng Town, whether she was herself or other witches.
Chapter completed!
