58. Heists and Hunts
Looking at the pretty girl in front of me who seemed a little cramped, I knew almost nothing about her, and I didn't even know her name. .
I was stunned for a while, and then I heard Katerina coughing gently on the side before I came to my senses.
At this time, the pretty girl had already stood in front of me for a long time.
Her face was blushing, she protected her hands on her chest, and her hands were clenched tightly into fists. Because she used too much force, her knuckles looked a little white.
"Ahem!" I also coughed awkwardly, trying to get rid of the strange atmosphere in the room, but unfortunately it didn't work.
So I could only grit my teeth and stood up and said to the pretty girl, "...It's raining outside, the ground is wet and slippery, and there are no street lights on the street. It's so late again. I'll take us around the island tomorrow morning, so why not stay here!
The pretty girl looked at me in confusion, not knowing why I said this for no reason, as if I was looking for some reason.
"You can sleep on the sofa in the living room, and of course, if Katerina wants, you can also squeeze into a bed with her." I said to the pretty girl.
After saying these words, I turned around and walked into the bedroom near the balcony, leaving behind a pretty girl with a confused look on her face.
Just when she was a little at a loss, I poked my head out of the bedroom door and said to her with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Jijia, I'm sixteen years old. I will attend the adult ceremony this fall!"
"Rita!" After she said that, she widened her eyes and looked at me. The confusion, astonishment and shame in her eyes slowly turned into a smile. Her beautiful face, against the sweet smile, was like a beautiful red peony.
"The name sounds nice, I have a friend whose name is the same as you." I said to Rita.
When I heard the girl named Rita say her name, I couldn't help but think of the stubborn girl holding a tower shield in El City. I don't know if she is married to Darwin now. I really hope to receive a wedding invitation.
As for telling my true age and the "adult ceremony" this fall, it is mainly to understand the knot of this beautiful girl named Rita.
As a nobleman of the Green Empire, before attending the coming-of-age ceremony, he needs to maintain a pure heart so that he can receive the "Blessings of the Goddess of Liberty". Using this reason to politely reject the special services offered by the pretty girl should not be so hurtful.
Of course, I am actually full of expectations for the coming-of-age ceremony in autumn.
...
Rita finally chose to stay, she took a hot shower, wore a nightgown that Katerina had lent her, and sat on the sofa beside the balcony with her legs curled up.
Her pretty face looked red, her nose turned a little pink, and her eyes were filled with water vapor.
I don't know what the reason was, so I asked the girl named Rita to choose to stay. I saw her back facing Katerina and I sitting there watching the night rain outside the balcony, her weak and thin shoulders trembled slightly. Suddenly, I really wanted to hear her tell her about her life on Dunai Island. Even if there are some lies in it, it doesn't matter, I just need a reason to help her.
Katerina took out a box of dessert from her magical waist bag, then patted me on the shoulder, and signaled me to go back to the room.
She invited Rita to a plate of honey-coated scones, but she did not refuse. She just ate a few pieces and stopped and sat on the sofa with a cup of tea and chatted with Katerina. She was a delicate, sensitive, and capable girl. Dunashima was portrayed by her lines in her soft voice.
Listening to Rita's story about Duna Island, I also walked out of the bedroom and leaned against the balcony. While feeling the raindrops floating in the night sky, I looked at the island city hidden in the dark.
The hotel is located at a certain distance from the seaside, and the sound of waves seems very faint.
This is a majestic city built on the mountain. It is one of the best island cities in the Vasqi Sea. Countless merchant ships will be docked on the dock of Dunai when they arrive in the western waters. This place has gradually become a maritime transportation hub in the western waters of Vasqi. Due to the recent decline in merchant ships traveling to and from Dunai, the residents of Dunai who rely on the dock for their living have no source of livelihood.
Few islanders here engage in marine fishing. Although the island is large, it has more residents. It is considered a densely populated island city. Most of the living supplies on the entire island are imported products. Only a few kinds of fruits and spices are produced on Dunai Island.
After the plane war began, the Great Sea Abyss became the front line closest to the Faceless Legion, and the Yam Island in the west of the Great Sea Abyss became the central island of that area. According to the strategic instructions of the Grand Duke Mensah, the resources of the Vasqi plane must be tilted towards the Yam Island, and make every effort to ensure that the supply of the Great Sea Abyss war zone is sufficient.
As a result, Dunai Island was greatly impacted, and the originally prosperous and lively docks were suddenly reduced by half.
Port trade is the most important pillar industry on Dunai Island. The gradual decrease in port ships directly led to a sharp rise in the unemployment rate of residents in Dunai Island.
Rita said this, and I suddenly understood why in the drizzle in the middle of the night, there were so many workers waiting for merchant ships on the port terminal.
At this moment, a knock sounded outside the door.
The door was not closed, and Helena's pretty face, with a smiley face, came in from the door. She saw Catalina and Rita sitting on the sofa, drinking hot tea and eating honey scones, chatting softly, and laughing at Catalina, saying, "Do you mind having more people chatting together?"
Katerina looked at Helena with a smile and said, and saw Helena, who had changed into pajamas and pajamas, walk in first. The former was holding a round barbecue grill in his hand and said to Katerina and Rita: "I have grilled fish ready here."
Sure enough, Becky was carrying a full pot of fresh fish, shrimps and shellfish, and followed Helena. Helena placed the barbecue rack on the edge of the balcony, then came to me, rubbed her sexually with a fishing line, and pouted her little mouth and said to me, "Geejia, I'm hungry..."
So... the first thing we did after arriving at Dunai was not to inquire about the sirens, nor to appreciate the scenery on the island, nor to lobby the island's consuls to join forces to resist the Marquis of Boris, but to hide in a gorgeous manor-style hotel to eat seafood barbecue.
They even ended up drinking a little golden cider.
After drinking, the girls' chat topics became even more relaxed.
At the beginning, it was Katerina who told her experience of traveling to the Roland mainland with a dance troupe. The story also mentioned Chig, but Katerina did not mention the experience of the wasteland, but only told everyone some stories about the caravan traveling through the Novakia Mountains. There was also the young noble young man Dayi who almost broke into her heart when she was in love.
Then Helena tells that she was born in a noble family with a gradually declining family. In order to continue to maintain the glory of the family, the family made various attempts, but failed to change the fact that the family talents had withered. Later, she encountered an excellent opportunity. Prince James got a magic contract scroll of "soul link" and wanted to hold a "soul link" ceremony for her favorite daughter, Princess Yingli, and two girls from the aristocratic family in the Green Empire needed to contribute themselves...
Helena did not say whether it was signed with Ying Li to be voluntarily or forced by the family. I think there were probably both. This kind of soul contract is very special. If you don’t let go of your soul and willingly link your souls together, there is no possibility of success.
Finally I joined in, which was a bit like a ‘Truth Adventure’ game.
Maybe everyone is drunk, maybe everyone becomes familiar and begins to speak without any restraint.
Helena cut thin shredded onions on the balcony, and joked with Rita with a blushing face: "Hey, Rita, is it a custom of Duna Island to stay overnight at the employer's home?"
Rita's already blushing cheeks suddenly spread to the base of her neck. She covered her face with her hands and buried her head in the sofa, like an ostrich that inserted her head into the pile of sand.
Perhaps it is because of family life, or because they want to gamble on their own destiny, many girls who are waiting to marry on Duna Island will choose this way to sell themselves. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, those girls need to have enough confidence and be beautiful enough.
Because they can come to Dunai Island and be able to afford money, the guests who ask the guide to visit the island are rich nobles and businessmen. Perhaps they are not short of beautiful women around them, but many people never mind that there is such a well-behaved and beautiful woman around them.
But Rita never thought that our group really needed a guide.
Ying Li asked Rita about the news about the Siren. Rita's eyes were a little blurred. She took a big sip of ice water and tried to wake herself up. Her frowning looked a little playful. She tried to find some answers about the Siren from her memory. Unfortunately, she thought for a long time, but there was no answer.
Rita told us that she knew there was a tavern on Dunai that specialized in selling all kinds of information, and maybe where could we get our answers.
I couldn't wait to go to the tavern to check it out.
Before the last sleepiness came, I walked into my bedroom rationally and threw myself on the soft big bed...
When I felt a warm sunshine shining on my face, there was a pleasant sound of birds singing outside the window, and a faint fishy and salty smell of sea breeze blew in from the window through a thin gauze curtain. I got up from the bed and saw a blue sea outside the window, with clouds like cotton candy piled up in the sky, as if this rain had become a thing of the past.
The living room was in a mess, but there was no one.
Caterina's bedroom door was open, and Rita, wearing a large nightgown, was still sleeping soundly. She was running on the bed, holding the fluffy quilt, and her nightgown turned upwards, revealing a piece of snow-white and slender long legs, and her long chestnut hair was spread on the pillow, with her mouth slightly open.
Katerina had already woken up early, and was standing on the balcony in her room, stretching her muscles and bones towards the golden sun, in order to maintain her flexibility, coordination, balance, etc.
She was wearing a tight leather armor, and the thin leather armor clearly outlined the perfect curves of her body. In any case, her soft and sexy body was far more attractive than Rita's green apple that was not fully developed.
She seemed to have some senses, turned her head and saw me standing leaning against the door, and walked over from the balcony with a smile, gently covered the door of the room, and said to me: "What are you looking at? Let's go meditate as soon as possible!"
...
Dunai Island is an island city with a population of more than 100,000.
The manor-style hotel we live in is located in a wealthy area on the hillside of the island city. The environment is beautiful and the view is wide. Most of the buildings are hidden among the green plants. Although the room rate is very expensive every night, with this pleasant scenery, people will feel that they are worth the money.
As the magic caravan carried us out of the manor slowly, Duke's figure appeared from a balcony. He was wearing a wide pajamas with open clothes, revealing his thin figure as thin as ribs. He was surrounded by a beautiful woman in silk pajamas, but not the blonde woman who was on the boat yesterday.
The two of them snuggled up on the balcony stone railing and laughed. Duke seemed to see me and waved to me.
I was also helpless, and I never expected that Duke's eyes were really sharp. The carriage just flashed past his balcony and he saw me sitting in the carriage.
Out of politeness, I could only poke my body out of the window and waved to him.
The magic caravan drove out of the iron gate of the manor. The streets of Duna Island were very wide. There were basically no magic caravans and no pedestrians on the street, but they looked very quiet.
The street was covered with flat stone slabs, and the gaps were very thin. Rita sat in the magic caravan and proudly boasted to us that the gaps in the stone slabs on the long street of Dunai Island could not even be inserted into the knife as thin as a cicada.
There are some palm-like plants on both sides of the stone long street, and the wide leaves look full of vitality.
I saw a magic shop along the way and saw a sign of "Opening" hanging at the door. I planned to go to the magic shop to buy a few bottles of magic ink when I went shopping later.
Our carriages ran down the Ring Road from the rich area on the hillside of Dunai Island, and the scenery on both sides of the car windows kept flying backwards.
The more the carriage goes down, the more dense the buildings on both sides of the street, the green plants in the courtyard gradually become sparse, and the more you go down, the more the buildings look more broken.
Rita seemed dedicated in the carriage, constantly telling us various stories that happened on Dunai Island, and it can be seen that she is very familiar with the island.
Ying Li, Helena, and Becky were very interested all the way. Perhaps because they got familiar with Rita last night, they saw the strange buildings on the roadside, and would ask Rita what those buildings were for.
The carriage drove to the entrance of a tavern, which had no signs, but just erected a huge oak barrel on the roof.
Chapter completed!
