Asharif took his wife shopping at the New Year's Fair for seven days. He spent all his shopping coupons and two gold coins. He bought a set of beautiful furniture, a gorgeous carriage and two horses.
The horse and four sets of dresses finally calmed down my wife's anger.
On the way home, my wife kept feeling annoyed: "You obviously made a mistake, but you still spent so much money. After all, it's me who suffers!"
"Nothing to lose," Asharif said with a happy smile as he drove the carriage, "Can you imagine, this carriage really belongs to us!"
At the New Year's Fair, the couple fell in love with this carriage at first sight. This is not a big and bulky public carriage, nor is it a private carriage that is so narrow that you can't stretch your legs. This carriage is eleven feet long.
, there are soft chairs, desks, and a foldable bed in the carriage. For heating, a unique small charcoal stove is installed inside. Not to mention them, even Hamei, the richest man in the village, probably doesn’t have it.
I have never seen such a luxurious carriage.
The child was sleeping soundly in bed, and the wife was lamenting her fate while cooking hot soup on the charcoal stove.
"I must be dreaming. This kind of car must be for the king. You should go and sit in the carriage for a while. This feels really, really..."
His wife's vocabulary is pitifully small. When the child grows older, Asharif wants to send her to school so that he can at least learn to read like himself.
"Don't be stupid, if I sit in, who will drive us?"
"Can we never sit in the carriage together?" The wife said regretfully, "Why don't we hire a coachman?"
"Don't even think about such a thing!"
With Asharif's income, it may not be difficult to buy a carriage, and it may not be difficult to buy two horses, but hiring a coachman is another matter. In Broken Snow City, labor costs are always the most luxurious expense.
, even an old coachman over sixty years old must pay him at least one silver coin every day.
The wife said: "It would be great if Yorkson was here. Just give him five pounds of bread and let him do whatever he wants."
Yorkson is the most famous poor man in their village. This man is not lazy, but his hard work and honesty have made him suffer all his life.
"That was in our village," the husband said with a wry smile. "If he came to Suixue City, he would also change."
"Actually, you have changed too. You never looked at other women before."
"Baby, can't we forget this?"
After a long silence, the wife asked again: "Have you really learned witchcraft?"
"How many times have I told you that it's not witchcraft, it's technology, a special skill."
"But you can control that giant beast. Do you know how terrifying that giant beast is?"
"I'll say it again, that's not a beast, that's a machine."
“What exactly is a machine?”
"A machine is... something that can help people do work," Asharif waved his riding crop impatiently, "It would be great if I could have a machine to help me drive my horse."
…
The first climax of the New Year's Eve gathering is coming to an end, and it's time for those who follow the new calendar to go back to celebrate the New Year, including Reggie and Chris.
The annual gathering is very important to Reggie, but he cannot stay in Zhilin City forever. Waiting for him are official evaluations and year-end awards.
Of course, the things Chris faces are more complicated. He still has half the country waiting for him to conquer.
The brief reunion made both parties reluctant to part, especially one thing that made Chris uneasy.
"I had a chat with Samantha, and from what she said, it seems like she wants to go to Broken Snow City with you to spend the New Year."
Reggie smoothed his long hair and sneered: "I knew you were jealous."
"Maybe a little bit, but that's not the point," Chris said, "Aren't you curious? As a popular artist, why doesn't she return to Star Country during the New Year? You should know how important New Year's performances are to artists.
important."
Reggie smiled and said: "That's because my charm made her give up everything."
"It seems you have broken the good habit of looking in the mirror after peeing."
"Thank you for reminding me, I still maintain this good habit," Reggie said, "I know I am not that charming, and I also know her true identity. She is a mountain monster, a mountain monster with strong magic power.
She can deceive the eyes of the Paladin, but her identity has been exposed in Tianxing Kingdom, and she seeks refuge with me to seek asylum."
"Is it really that simple?" Chris shook his head and said, "Samantha is a famous artist in mainland China. So far, I have not heard any rumors about her and the mountain demon. I feel that she deliberately exposed herself in front of you.
Without her identity, we know nothing about the mountain demon in Tianxing Kingdom, and I always feel that she has some hidden secrets that we don’t know about."
"What you said makes sense," Reggie nodded. "I will be more prepared, and you should also be more careful. Don't forget that Charlemagne also has Alice, who is a very dangerous witch."
Reggie also wanted to tell Wenna something, so Chris was ready to take the first step. Before leaving, Chris gave Reggie a robe, the color of which was purple, the unique color of the royal family.
"Goodbye, King of Snow," Chris smiled. "When you are crowned, I hope I can personally wear the crown for you."
Reggie said: "When that time comes, I hope you won't force me to kneel down. Based on the friendship between us, curtsy should be enough."
"That's not okay," Chris said seriously, "We must respect etiquette and tradition."
Chris left. The next day, Reggie was also preparing to return to Shattered Snow City. He and Dorothy took the same carriage. Because of Chris's questions yesterday, Reggie also felt the need to discuss some issues with Dorothy.
.
"Have you ever sung that song before? Or heard it somewhere?"
"I've never heard that song."
"Then why can you sing with Samantha and sing so beautifully?"
"She taught me. Here," Dorothy pointed to her heart, "I can hear her voice in my heart. Before the singing started, she kept repeating this song in my heart."
"She is in your heart?" Reggie was startled, "Is this her spell?"
"She said I can do it too, and I'm learning from her. Samantha is a fairy. She gave me courage. I should thank her forever." At this point, Dorothy blushed again, and it was obvious that
, she admires Samantha immensely.
In addition to Dorothy's singing, Reggie is also very concerned about another thing: "She also has the ability to amplify her voice. Do all trolls have this ability? Or do you and her belong to a special race?"
"
"Samantha said it was a gift we all shared," Dorothy said, "including a beautiful singing voice."
Dorothy's face turned even redder. This honest girl turned out to be so cute even when she was shy.
…
Back in Broken Snow City, Reggie compared the officials' performance and decided their bounties. After working for several hours, Reggie, who had a sore back and back, wanted to fall asleep to Shirley's singing.
But Shirley, who was sitting next to her, had already fallen asleep. She had been busy preparing for the New Year these days, and the chores at home were not much easier than the lord's government affairs.
Reggie put Shirley on the bed and gently covered her with a quilt. He found a blanket from the box and prepared to go to the study to sleep for the night.
The bed in the study room was very narrow and very hard. The moment he lay down, Reggie felt a pain in his back like needles.
He turned over and wanted to sleep on his stomach, but his ribs were numb from the hard bed board. He tried hard to adjust the angle, trying to find a suitable sleeping position, but found a pair of soft hands pressing on his back.
"Sir, please find an extra quilt to put under it, it will be more comfortable." Listening to this weird accent, Reggie smiled, it was Tortosa.
It was so late and she hadn't rested yet. It seemed like something was destined to happen tonight.
Shirley was already asleep. Even if something happened, no one would know.
Tortosa was originally a gift from Dio to Reggie, but because he was always busy outside, this most beautiful girl was left out in the cold.
It's time to give her some warmth.
Tortosa made a bed for Reggie. Reggie lay on the soft quilt and looked at Tortosa with a lewd expression.
Tortosa looked at Reggie tenderly, and she motioned Reggie to turn around.
Turn around? Lie down? What kind of trick is this?
Could it be that she wanted to...
Reggie was overly concerned, Tortosa just wanted to rub Reggie's back. Her technique was very delicate, and it instantly relieved the pain caused by fatigue.
"Did Shirley teach you this?" Reggie said with an intoxicated look, "Your technique is better than hers."
"It was not given to me by others. This is God's talent." After staying with Reggie for a year, Tortosa is still not very fluent in the common language. "The mountain monsters have many talents, especially some special banshees.
They can make their voices louder, bring their voices into other people's hearts, and break their bones."
One of Tortosa's hands touched Reggie's neck, and Reggie's heart trembled. He was about to stand up, but he heard Tortosa say coldly in his ear: "Don't move, Lord, I know."
You are very tired, but I want to take you somewhere."
Tortosa pinched Reggie's neck and led him outside the castle.
Samantha was standing at the door. Modessa and the guards outside the door had already fallen asleep deeply.
It turns out that Samantha has another skill. She can use her singing to make people fall asleep like a siren. She uses the skill of the troll to send her singing into everyone's heart. No wonder Shirley fell asleep so quickly.
.
"Why don't you let him fall asleep too?" Tortosa asked in Troll Tongue, "because it cost me so much effort."
Samantha said: "This is so boring. I want to make sure that you are loyal to Turitu."
Totosa said angrily: "It's not your turn to test me!"
"This is Turitu's order." After saying that, Samantha took out a rope and tried to tie Reggie, but was stopped by Tortosa.
"You don't have to do this, he will be obedient."
Samantha sneered: "Are you distressed?"
"I'll say it again, it's not your turn to tell me what to do!"
The two people were arguing. Reggie secretly glanced at Modesa and found that his eyelids trembled.
After some arguing, Samantha gave up the idea of tying Reggie, and Reggie didn't offer any resistance. He dragged his heavy footsteps slowly forward on the snow, following Tortosa and Samantha.
Mansha disappeared at the end of the street.
Modeza opened her eyes, picked up the spear, and quietly followed Reggie's footsteps.
