Chapter 809: It’s not to watch a show, but I just want to be lazy
Feng Ying tore into the huge skewers. She was either hunting or on the way to and from the hunting ground. She ate dry food every day. It was rare for Master Gordon to treat her, so she had to make up for her stomach.
Anhil held the letter in his hand that was so short that it was inexplicably divided into two mailings, and fell into deep thought.
“A letter from your home?” Gordon took the freshly grilled giant shrimp from the paws of the cat chef’s wife and asked Ancil curiously, but did not go over to read it directly. After all, it was a private message.
“Hmm.” Anhil threw the letter to his companions indifferently.
Gordon grabbed it and glanced at it. It wasn't even a letter, it was basically two notes. The first one said - "Miss Xuanxu has arrived, and we will treat her well." ]
Signed by Jessica, sister of Ancil.
"Huh? Has the cricket finished emerging? I thought it would have to wait until at least next month." Hayata said in surprise.
Feng Ying, who was immersed in eating, raised her head and said, "Is the cricket here?!"
Gordon picked up the second note - [Mother said you don't have to come back. Xuanxu is her daughter from now on, and you are not allowed to have any wrong thoughts. ]
Gordon looked at Ancil with an expression like "Is there something wrong with my ability to understand words?"
Anhil spread his hands to express that I didn’t understand either.
Feng Ying put down the food in her hand, "Isn't it obvious? Your mother disliked you when she saw that Xuanxu was so cute."
“As for that?” Gordon picked up the food again, his impression of Chrysalis still lingering on the strange Chrysalis man who spoke in a gibbering manner.
"I did stress to her that she should become like a human before coming to the mainland, otherwise she might get into trouble with her appearance." Seeing a Yun Yang deer passing by the skewers stall, An Xil put the The letter was stuffed into its mouth.
"The appearance of the cricket itself should be quite cute." Hayata said at the side.
“How do you know?” Gordon asked casually.
It was Feng Ying who answered Gordon's question first, "Intuition! A girl's intuition! I think Xuanxu must be a super beautiful girl!"
Hayata smiled and said: "Qiancao told me during our chat that Xuanxu is very popular in the Alchemy Academy."
“Well, this statement is much more credible.”
Anhil didn’t take it seriously, was he popular? Gale was also very popular in the hunter training camp, so what?
“So, let’s go back to Dongdoruma and take a look! I haven’t seen what a cricket looks like after it emerges!” Feng Ying wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said excitedly.
Gordon shrugged, "I don't care, there's nothing important at the moment anyway."
Anhir was more resistant. He always felt that he would encounter some trouble when he returned.
“I don’t think there is any need to go back. Although my mother, well, Xuxue should be well taken care of with Jessica here. It’s a bit of a waste of time to go back to East Doruma just to see her.”
"One vote in favor, one abstention, one vote against." Gordon looked at Hayata, "The decision is in your hands."
Hayata said with a smile: "Then let's go back. It's not because I want to watch a show or anything, it's just because I want to play."
Anhil's expression was a little stiff.
“Hahahaha!” Gordon slapped Ancier on the shoulder hard, “Then let’s go back!”
As both are important air transportation hubs in the Old World, there are many flights between the village of Bernard and Dondoruma.
Gordon and his party set out excitedly.
Of course, the excited people did not include Ancil.
After the airship arrived in East Doruma, their original plan was to go directly to the Sterling family mansion, but Ancil insisted that they go to the Chamber of Commerce to find Jesseca first.
With the eldest young master leading the way, the group of people naturally flowed smoothly through the chamber of commerce. They arrived at the door of Jessica's office. Anhil knocked on the door and heard "Enter." He pushed the door open and entered.
Behind the majestic desk, Jessica raised her head. When she saw the person coming, she was a little surprised, and then there was a hint of trepidation in her eyes, "You came back so soon? No wonder, after all, the cricket is so cute."
Anhil rolled his eyes and pointed to a few people behind him, "They dragged me back, so what's going on with those two letters?"
“Literally, my mother likes that little girl very much.”
Jessica put down the documents and quill she was working on, "She said that we were so unlovable when we were teenagers, and she wanted to make up for that time with Xuanxu.
But it’s true that when I was fifteen or sixteen, I ran away from home and went to work as an accountant in the Chamber of Commerce down below. When you were fifteen or sixteen, you had to go to a training camp to be a hunter, and you basically never came back home.
Compared to us at that time, they were indeed cuter. "
Anhil opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute, but felt that there was nothing to refute. He and Jessica were indeed not good children when they were teenagers.
But from the perspective of Xuanxu’s family, it seems to be the same?
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "So, now mother is raising Xuanxue like a doll, changing clothes and playing with it every day?"
I always find it easy to imagine that kind of scene.
Jessica chuckled lightly, "Not really. To be precise, it was like this on the first day after Xuanxu arrived, but after a while Xuanxu couldn't stand it anymore and said she wanted to go out and have a look.
Mother is now in a state where she will reply with a smile and say "Okay~" to anything she says. The two of them have been wandering around together in recent days, saying that they want to walk through every alley in East Doruma before talking about it again. . "
Anhil didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Don't worry, although mother likes Xuanxu, she is not ignorant of propriety. Xuanxu is also very sensible." At this point, Jessica paused, and a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
“By the way, Xuanxu also brought a huge package of Shuhai’s specialties. She said it was the travel expenses prepared by her family for her. In order to thank us for our hospitality, she gave us all the specialties.
After sorting and appraisal, do you know the value of that pile of specialties?
210,000 z, which is only two-thirds of it. We don’t know the other one-third, don’t know its function, and can’t value it.
My father and I agreed that we should increase contact and trade with the residents of the Sea of Trees. The biological resources of the Sea of Trees in Batubatum are unimaginably rich, and this is a huge business opportunity.”
"Stop!" Anhil made a pause gesture, "You can decide on business matters. I'm not interested. Just don't go too far in your approach. If you are caught in the middle, you will not be able to behave."
“Oh?” Jesse raised his eyes, “Are you feeling distressed?”
"This is basic respect for the savior." Anhir responded with a straight face.
"Whatever you say." Jessica waved her hand, "But don't worry, the purpose of our Chamber of Commerce has always been to 'make money together', and we will not become vampires."
“That’s best.”
“Ah, by the way, there’s something you might be more concerned about.” A smile that looked like a good show appeared on Jessica’s face.
Behind Ancil, the mouths of the three Gordons, who had never spoken a word, twisted.
Anhil and his sister’s looks were already 60-70% similar. As soon as this smile came out, the similarity suddenly soared to the level of looking in the mirror.
“What?” Anhil had a bad feeling.
“Xuanxu said this morning that she was curious about what the Hunters Guild was like, so her mother planned to take her to visit the Public Tavern at noon.
Does your ‘pen pal’ work there? "
Human beings in the world of Ps.mh are not the masters of nature. Since there are monsters everywhere in the wild, business should be quite primitive.
Trade with the residents of the Sea of Trees should be limited to the level of caravan exchanges of what is needed (beggars version of the Silk Road?). Don't imagine that European colonists ravaged the Americas. This world does not have that kind of manpower.
