Chapter 808 The cricket has arrived!
The airship landed in the southeastern city of the Old World, Grombaum.
This is Ota’s hometown and the city where they are active.
Xuanxu’s eyes widened and she looked at everything around her curiously. Is this the ‘settlement’ outside? She has never seen so many people!
Although for the Ota people, hiring an airship was a big expense, and it even cost 70 to 80% of the reward for this sleeping bird hunting mission.
But they still refused to accept Xuanxiao's money. Instead, they dragged Xuanxu to the tavern and treated her to a "real meal."
I have to say that the "living dry food" that Xunxu shared with them on the airboat really disgusted them, but under the former's expectant gaze, they really couldn't bear to refuse.
One man chewed a fat endurance thunderbug.
vomit.
But it can only be said that the eating habits are different. The hot seafood soup, huge barbecue steaks, colorful salads, cheese baked rice and other delicacies on the table did not surprise Xuanxuan.
More of novelty.
She felt that the food was indeed delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The only drawback was that the taste was not so "fresh".
Unlike thunderworms, they twist around in the mouth and burst into pulp.
After having a full meal, Ota and others took Xixue for a long walk on the streets of Grombaum City.
It wasn’t until evening that she was sent to the local branch of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the requirements in Xuanxu’s travel guide.
"Xu Xue! Do you remember the address of Auntie's house? If you are bullied or unhappy there, come and see Auntie at any time!" The tall Ota rubbed Xue Xue's head reluctantly.
The dual swordsman also smiled and said: "You can also go to the house of 'Uncle Scarface' or 'Uncle Archery'. Uncle's family has a little sister who is also very cute."
Xuanxuan sniffed and nodded vigorously. After thinking about it, she put down the huge package, took out a few things and handed them to the three of them.
“A souvenir?” Ota was slightly surprised.
Xuanxu nodded again, thanked the three of them seriously, and then walked into the door of the Chamber of Commerce after saying goodbye.
Hunters looked at what each other held.
“Linglu nuts hey?”
“I don’t know the butterfly, but it’s so beautiful! It’s blue and sparkling.”
“Damn it, mine is a golden unicorn, my dear, this thing is worth a lot of money.”
“You want to sell it?!”
“I won’t sell it!”
Xuanxiao felt that she might have underestimated the preciousness of that pocket watch.
Or, have you underestimated Mr. Ancil’s identity?
The stones on the floor and walls of the Chamber of Commerce were polished as brightly as the water's surface, and the colorful transparent stones on the windows looked so precious that she didn't dare to touch them.
It feels like a very, very powerful place!
But when she took out the pocket watch, everyone here treated her with respect and even bowed before speaking.
The room arranged for her was obviously frighteningly luxurious, but she always said that she was not prepared in advance and the hospitality was not good enough.
That should be a table for sleeping?
The cushions on it were too soft. She was not used to lying on them and her wings would be wrinkled. She slept on the carpet at night. The carpet was also soft, so she slept very comfortably.
After resting for a night, the old man who seemed to be the person in charge here personally led him into an airboat that was much larger than the one he took before, and left the "settlement" called Grombaum.
I still want to say goodbye to Aunt Otta and the others.
Like in the Chamber of Commerce, the people on the airship were also very polite to her, but they were a little uncomfortable.
Give them Endurance Thunderworms to get closer to them.
But looking at their hair standing on end and their stiff smiles but still forcing themselves to bite the thunderworms, I might as well forget it.
The old man in charge of the Chamber of Commerce was very kind. After listening to his explanation, Xuanxu realized that Mr. Ancil seemed to be a very high-status person. Because he had saved him, he became a "distinguished guest".
Obviously there is no need for this. It would be great if we could get along like Aunt Ota and the others, as well as Sister Hayata and Sister Fengying.
Also, people outside don’t eat bugs.
Thunderworms are obviously delicious
Mrs. Stirling, who had long been tired of attending tea parties, banquets, or going to various salons and theaters all day long, seemed extremely excited after receiving the letter.
Leaving aside the matter of the Ancier boy, Mrs. Sterling was full of interest when she saw the description in the letter of an innocent and lovely little girl who was "like a butterfly".
Beautiful, lively, butterfly, an aborigine from the mysterious sea of trees, every keyword is a mark on her favorability zone.
If she wasn't afraid of scaring the little girl, she would have held a special banquet.
“Jessica! Come and help me see what this dress looks like!” Mrs. Sterling asked her eldest daughter excitedly.
Jessica, who was wearing a neat but decent women's formal dress, was helpless, "Mother, I still have a job at the Chamber of Commerce. Is this why you urged me to come back?"
Mrs. Sterling then realized that Jessica didn't know that the cricket was about to arrive, and pointed at the letter on the table.
Jessica picked up the letter and glanced at it, then raised her eyebrows and said, "That's it."
“So what?” Mrs. Sterling picked up the latest fashionable gorgeous skirt.
"It's too exaggerated. The person here is not a princess. From An Xil's description, the lady has never been exposed to the world outside the Shuhai Sea. You will scare her."
“Oh, that makes sense!”
Mrs. Sterling called the waiter to take away the complicated and gorgeous dresses, and finally chose a relatively simple plain dress.
“How about this one?”
“Well, judging from the clothes in your wardrobe, it’s quite appropriate.”
"The room has been prepared a long time ago. What about the meal? Is it like the time when we entertained Ancil's friends?"
“She’s not a hunter, and she doesn’t have that much appetite. Please prepare more sweets, as they shouldn’t be common in the sea of trees.”
"That makes sense!" After Mrs. Sterling sent someone down, she walked around twice, "Do you want to write a letter to Ancil now?"
Jessica thought about this question for several seconds, as if she was weighing something. Finally, she nodded, "Write it, but don't say too much, just say that we will entertain Miss Xuanxuan well."
“Okay, it’s up to you~.”
Jessica looked unconcerned on the surface, but she had no intention of returning to the Chamber of Commerce to continue working, and checked her mother's arrangements in every way.
The splendid large room has been replaced. It is prepared for people like the Third Princess. Normal people living here will be too scared to sleep. There is also a dragon head hanging on the wall. When the lights are turned off at night, the monster is scary.
The step of lining up with maids and waiters to welcome them has also been removed. Do you want to entertain others, or do you want to show off?
The dinner location was changed from the banquet hall to the tea pavilion used by my mother and friends for tea parties. The small round table was warmer than the long table and the view was better.
After everything was arranged, the waiter in the foyer just heard the news of Miss Xuanxuan's arrival.
Before Jessica could stop her, Mrs. Sterling ran out excitedly.
She adjusted her clothes and collar helplessly and hurriedly followed.
When he came to the foyer and saw the little girl, even the well-informed Jessica's eyes lit up.
Butterfly-like clothes have a "non-artificial" beauty, just like real butterflies, gorgeous but not exaggerated, and pleasing to the eye.
By contrast, the "Papilly butterfly set" that is very popular among young female hunters seems relatively stiff, and the ruffled butterfly wings are a bit irritating to the eyes.
How can it be like the butterfly wings behind the girl in front of me, which can be folded and flapped? Could it be possible that it can really fly? !
The girl's eyes are equally impressive. The jet-black irises are two circles larger than ordinary people, and the sclera is smaller, which makes her eyes appear extra bright.
And the skin, it was unbelievable. It was the first time she had seen such skin. It was as white and tender as if it had never been burned by the sun. Is it because of the "parasitic pupa" that Ancil mentioned?
Give me one too!
“Eee~!” Mrs. Sterling, who had been stunned for several seconds, suddenly let out a scream. She hugged Xue Xue, who was greeting her in a daze, and kept rubbing her cheek.
Jessica felt sorry for her mother's rude behavior, but at the same time she could not help but feel envious.
I want to hug you too, I want to rub you too.
“Jessica!”
The tall Mrs. Sterling hugged the small one until it reached her chest and refused to let go, "Go and send a letter to Ancil! Don't let that kid come back!"
Also warn him not to covet my daughter! "
"ah?"
"From today on, Xuanxu is my daughter, well, she is also your sister!"
ˆ “.”
Jessica nodded thoughtfully, "I'll write a letter."
