Lord Highlander

  Chapter 991 977. Postman Dennis

  By the lake, there is an evening wind blowing.

  In the distance came the roar of the waterfall hitting the rocks, the boundary of the lake came out, and the lake water fell into the abyss.

  In the abyss, these lakes scattered into water droplets all over the sky, and the strong wind blowing from the bottom of the plane turned them into patches of rain and mist, and these ground winds were brought back to the Daxue Peak at the northernmost point of the plane, forming endless wind and snow.

  Some women who were washing clothes by the lake packed up the clothes that were still drying on the grass, carrying baskets, holding tubs on their heads, pulling the children around them, and walked towards the valley town in groups.

   At this time, a young girl with long legs and short hair was carrying a postal backpack and wearing a pair of leather boots, dragging her tired body from the small town to the lake. It seemed that many people along the way knew her.

He was squatting next to a sandy beach by the lake, and two children who were waiting here cheered and ran over, took out an aluminum lunch box to show off to the girl the harvest of the day, the lunch box was full of fresh earthworms, worried about these earthworms Died in a lunch box with some sand in it.

   "Good job!" The long-legged girl said casually, which immediately made the two children jump for joy.

  Her cheekbones have a layer of faint freckles, her skin is a bit rough, and her face has a layer of fine hair, but the bridge of her nose is very straight, and her bright eyes are like two emeralds.

  Her face is somewhat tough, and there is a kind of determination between her brows.

She dug out two precious fishhooks from a small cloth roll, tied the fishing line skillfully, hung a piece of earthworm on the fishhook, and then landed on a rock by the lake, swung the fishing rod, and threw it into the In the lake water, sprinkle a handful of wet rice bran into the lake...

  On the bank, two old women walked slowly past with wooden basins in their arms. Their figures were a bit bloated and their eyes were a little bit bad.

   When I got closer, I saw that it was a long-legged girl. The stooped old lady raised her head with difficulty and said:

   "Dennis, it's so late, do you still want to fish here?"

  The long-legged girl Dennis turned her head and said with a smile:

   "Fish at night are easier to take the bait, Aunt Anthea, are you going back?"

  The stooped old woman murmured, "If you don't walk, you will lose sight of the road. When you get old, your eyes won't work..."

   After speaking, the two old women left slowly holding the tub.

  Nurse Anthea, whose waist could no longer straighten up, introduced to the companion beside her:

   "This girl's name is Dennis. It's not easy for a person to take care of not only her younger siblings, but also her bedridden grandma."

  Another old woman just sighed weakly, and then said: "What a good boy..."

Although Aunt Anthea's eyes were blurry and her ears were a little deaf, the fire of gossip was still burning in her heart, and she said as she walked: "A while ago, an officer said that he wanted to marry her, and she brought him directly to the house, Let the officer look at the situation at home and say that if you want her, you will accept everything from her."

   "And then?" asked the old woman beside her.

   "What else can there be? Then, the officer just said that he had to think about it, and then walked away without looking back." Sister Anthea sighed helplessly.

   "Hey, didn't we say that we have captured the town of Takale?" The old woman muttered in a low voice: "Why hasn't our life changed a little bit?"

  Sister Anthea said with certainty: "It was captured... It took only five days to take it all down. Before all the supplies in the warehouse could be brought out, they were taken back by the lord army."

  The old woman's tone suddenly became lighter: "It's already very good... isn't it? At least some supplies can be distributed this time!"

   "There are more and more people now, and there are fewer and fewer things to share..." Aunt Anthea sighed and said, "The life here is far worse than before!"

  The two drifted away...

She didn't notice Suldak who was sitting on the rock next to her. Siya poked her head out from behind Suldak. She flicked her wet fish tail, and her wet hair was scattered on her round shoulders. With a touch of green scales.

  In front of Suldak, even if she becomes a mermaid, she no longer feels shy...

  She stretched out her hand and tied the long hair behind her head into a ball head, and with a 'plop', she jumped into the lake again.

  …

  Dennis felt that he was lucky tonight, he caught a trout just after arriving,

  Looking at the dark back of this big fish, it is obviously a guy who lives in deep water all year round. I really don’t know why he ran to shallow water to eat earthworms...

  Seeing that the dinner is settled and the fish soup can still be served tomorrow morning, Dennis is ready to call it a day.

   But thinking about the fact that I have just arrived here, and an earthworm has just used a short piece, I feel that I should catch two more rods.

  Just after throwing the hook into the lake, it took only a few breaths, the fishing rod in her hand sank suddenly, and she grabbed the rod with all her strength, fighting wits and courage with the big guys in the water.

  The children playing in the sand under the rocks cheered happily.

   At this moment, the surface of the lake shrouded in darkness not far away was splashing with water. Dennis saw someone struggling by the lake but did not call for help.

  She stood up straight and took a closer look. A white lotus-like arm was exposed in the lake.

Dennis threw down the fishing rod without hesitation, and rushed into the lake with two long legs. His body jumped forward, and the lake was covered with huge waves. the victim's neck, and desperately swam to the shore.

  The incident happened not far from the shore, and he got ashore soon.

   It was Sia who was rescued from the lake...

  Dennis put Siya on the beach, and was trying to see if she was still beating and breathing, but she didn't expect her to wake up.

  Sia opened her deep blue eyes, smiled at Dennis and said, "Thank you for saving me..."

  …

  Suldak, who was placed on the rock, covered his forehead with his hand, he didn't expect Siya to have acting talent...

  …

  Dennis smiled amiably. Seeing Sia woke up, he squatted beside her and said:

   "You're welcome, where is your home? I'll take you back..."

   "I live in a hotel in a small town." Sia explained to Dennis.

  Dennis helped Sia up, and said, "No wonder I think your face is a little strange. You must be careful not to fall into the lake when you come to the lake in the future. There are no people here at night..."

  Two children followed behind Dennis and Sia, one was carrying a fishing rod, the other was carrying a lunch box...

  Sia looked a little weak, but her eyes kept looking around. When she walked back to the canyon town, the wooden stairs leading to the cliff led in all directions.

  Dennis is very familiar with this town, and sent Sia back to the hotel.

   "Oh, where does your family live?" Standing at the door of the hotel, Sia asked Dennis.

  Dennis pointed to an unlit pigeon cage, and said casually:

   "It's over there, look... hanging on the window sill, and there are two pepper plants in the flowerpot at the door."

  Sia came up, gave Dennis a tight hug, and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet!"

   "Dennis!" Dennis introduced himself.

   "Siya..." Siya pointed to her nose and said, "Can I visit your house tomorrow?"

  Dennis readily agreed: "Of course, it's just that I'm not at home during the day. I have to deliver letters to the camps during the day, and I can entertain you at night."

   After speaking, he quickly ran down the stairs with the two children, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

   "She can run really fast..."

  Sia said to Suldak who came out from behind.

  Suldak said: "Aren't you worried that someone will find out someday?"

   "What's the matter, I just want to know her..."

  Sia smiled proudly.

  …

  Aphrodite was lying on the big bed in the luxurious cabin of the magic airship. The cool nightgown could not hide anything at all, but instead magnified the charm and sexiness of her body infinitely.

  Outside the window is a sea of ​​white clouds.

  The dazzling sunlight made Suldak feel very friendly, and the dry cloth plane could not see the sunlight at all...

  An albatross is swimming on the skyline in the distance, and it also uses the power of the wind layer to fly long distances.

  Aphrodite raised her chin, making the swan neck look extremely slender.

   Apart from her lack of fair skin, her body doesn't seem to have any flaws.

   "What did you see when you went to the rear of the rebel army, and how did the people live there?" She asked Surdak.

  Suldak sat on a chair and explained to Aphrodite:

  “Everyone is poor, so there are not so many contradictions, and the lifestyle is also very simple.”

  Aphrodite looked at Suldak with a half-smile, and asked him: "How about it, have you made up your mind to help the rebel army on the Ganbu plane?"

  Suldak shook his head.

  Based on him and the magician Avid, do you want to support the rebel army against the lord army of the Ganbu plane?

  He thinks this is unrealistic. After all, it can be regarded as an independent plane that is half the size of Bena province, and the permanent population of the plane probably exceeds three million.

   "Next, Avid will have a good talk with the rebels... I'll look through the information again." Suldak said solemnly: "When we fly to Bena City, I will discuss it with Marquis Luther..."

  Aphrodite reached out and picked up a red apple from the fruit plate on the bedside table, and threw it to Suldak.

  Suldak put it in the magic pocket, ready to take it back to Samira. There is no such sweet apple on the Ganbu plane.

   "Oh, when will the temporary teleportation circle be repaired?" Aphrodite asked again.

   "We have to wait until we reach Bena City to buy a high-grade gemstone base, and some other simple parts." Suldak pressed his forehead and said.

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

  Suldak and Aphrodite glanced at each other, and Aphrodite motioned for Suldak to open the door.

  …

  Suldak straightened his collar and put the badge of nobility on his chest. Then he walked to the door of the cabin and opened the door halfway with one hand.

  The second officer standing at the door was a little dumbfounded when he saw Suldak in leather armor...

  Through the gap in Suerdak's body, the second officer could see the figure of the woman in pajamas lying on the bed.

  Actually, he can’t be blamed for this matter. Except for the second officer who saw Suldak on the day of boarding the ship, Ms. Aphrodite has been operating alone on the airship these days.

  The second officer thought that Suldak got off the airship quietly before it took off.

This lady was traveling alone, and she didn't even bring a maid with her. He seemed to feel such an obvious hint, so he came here with fine wine to communicate... Unexpectedly, when the cabin door opened, he saw a genuine young man noble.

  The second officer suddenly felt completely cold...

  Although Aphrodite wore a mithril mask on her face, she couldn't see the face clearly.

  But with such a good figure, the second officer feels that lying on the bed with a mithril mask actually has a different flavor...

  He was wearing a decent white shirt with a bow tie at the neckline, and he had sprayed on some perfume. He was holding a bouquet of white lilies in his hand, and a bottle of white wine in the other hand.

  When the cabin door was pushed open and Suldak blocked the door, the second officer was like a lover who was caught and raped in bed, a little ashamed.

  He smiled guiltyly at Suldak.

   "What's the matter?" Suldak asked with a straight face.

The second officer offered the white wine with both hands with an embarrassing face, and said: "My lord viscount, this is for you. In addition, the airship provides the service of dining on the top deck of the ship building. Do you have any experience in this regard?" need?"

   "No! Is there anything else?" Suerdak took the white wine and asked impatiently.

   "No... bother!"

  The second officer bowed to Surdak, and then closed the door with his own hands...

   A bottle of white wine worth 40 silver coins was sent out like this. Although the second officer worked on the airship and his monthly salary was three gold coins higher, it still made him feel a little distressed.

   Perhaps seeing the figure lying on the bed made him feel even more distressed.

   "That's why you invited me here?"

  Suldak raised the white wine in his hand, shook it casually and asked.

  Aphrodite rolled around on the big bed, blinked, and expressed her gratitude to Suldak with charming eyes.

  Suldak quickly retracted his gaze, walked to the round glass window, looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the airship, and asked her:

   "Are you really not going to blow some air on the roof of the magic airship?"

  Aphrodite said in a dejected manner: "Forget it, always wear this mask wherever you go, you will be regarded as a weird person, and you can't take it off...Let's just lie in the room and sleep..."

   After speaking, the black and purple eyes boldly glanced at Suldak...

   "I have nothing to do, I'm going first..."

  Suldak said in a panic.

   When stepping through the gate of the void, his steps became a little staggering.

   Behind him came Aphrodite's cheerful laughter like a silver bell.

  …

  Suldak walked back to his room at the Canyon Town Hotel, opened the window, and glanced down.

  This wooden house is built on a rock wall, with a big river at its feet, and there are also some wooden houses on the opposite cliff, which makes this canyon full of fun.

  He looked at the white wine in his hand, and put it on the table by the window.

  The fighting in the house of the Arvid wizard next door has finally subsided...

  Suldak supported the window sill with both hands, and leaned out with half of his body, admiring the night view of the town.

  The window next door was also pushed open by a snow-white arm. Magician Avid and Nora were wrapped in the same blanket, and they were also enjoying the night view of the town by the window.

  Seeing Suldak, Magician Avid smiled triumphantly at him, without saying anything.
