Lying on the velvet bed, Todd listened to the gasps of the woman next to him, and said helplessly: "This kind of thing can continue tomorrow."

"I really have no energy..." Mary put her head on Todd's arm, as if she had just emerged from the water: "I just need to sleep for a while."

Todd lowered his head and gently kissed Mary on the forehead. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a model doll covered with white cloth in the corner of the bedroom.

"what is that?"

Hearing Todd's question, Mary struggling to cover his eyes with her hand, and hurriedly said, "That's a costume I'm designing!"

"Can I uncover the cloth and have a look?"

"No!" Mary paused for a while and whispered: "At least not now..."

"Then when...?"

Sleepy-eyed Mary, slumped on the bed, said weakly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will wear it to you myself..."

Seeing Mary's stubborn face, Todd smiled and shook his head, hugged her, and slowly closed his eyes.

Waiheke Island, Mermaid Business District.

Sitting in a new tavern built by the sea, Carol looked at a beautiful mermaid, happily swimming from the sea, following the pre-built waterway, to the bar of the tavern, holding his hands on the wooden poles , Toward the human bartender above his head, asking for a glass of gin with ice, the orc expression was a little startled.

Aldenan glanced at the mermaid's bumpy figure and impeccable face, whistling furtively, and exclaimed, "No wonder some people say that the Creator has never been just."

Carroll whispered: "This is just over a month, and these mermaids have adapted to our lives."

"It's not surprising. In this world, whether it is food or entertainment, is there a city that can be compared to Twilight City?"

As Aldenan said, he threw a roasted chicken leg into his mouth: "There are now more than 30 shops on Waiheke Island. In addition to the usual restaurants, bars and accessories, I heard that an open-air restaurant will be built next month. The theater... now many people in the city are eager to move to the island."

Taking a sip of the gin with ice cubes, the beautiful mermaid uttered a pleasant compliment, took out a Jinxu from the cloth bag on his chest, threw it to the bartender, and said, "Here is another deep-fried plate. Shrimp!"

The glittering gold coins fell in front of the bartender, and the crisp and sweet voice drew surprises from the diners around.

Aldenan curled his lips: "A gold coin can buy a bucket of fried shrimp... I have to say, these mermaids are really rich..."

Carol touched his chin and twisted his neck: "The morning before yesterday, I saw the mermaid leader in the bank on the island, the woman named Rita. She was holding a large bag of snake-fruit-sized pearls. Change it into common currency and distribute it to her people."

Aldenan took a sip of ale and curiously asked, "A pearl the size of a snake fruit? Is there such a thing in this world? Okay, how much did it cost?"

Carroll shrugged: "Let me put it this way. The Waiheke Island branch is now a mermaid. In the words of the bank president, all the coins in the branch vault are not enough to buy those pearls... …"

puff!

All the ale in Aldernan's mouth came out.

Wiping the corners of his mouth full of wine stains, Aldenan's eyes widened: "That guy really sold the bank to the mermaid?"

"Not only the coins in the vault, but also the land and buildings were also discounted and sold to mermaids." Carol watched two more mermaids not far away, swimming slowly towards the bar, and said softly: "I Hearing the president say this, he will not use unfair means to deceive the merfolk because of some benefits, because he does not want to add a weight called "evil" to his destiny after death. ."

Aldenan nodded quite understandingly: "He is right to say so."

The two mermaids in the distance swim closer and closer, one is an adult female, and the other looks like a human ten-year-old girl.

The young mermaid seemed to be still full of fear and guard against the world on land, and had been reluctant to swim into the waterway under the eaves of the bar by the sea.

With repeated encouragement from his companions, the young mermaid finally plucked up the courage to come under the bar and asked for a plate of crisp fish cakes and a bottle of juice.

Aldenan stabbed Carroll with his elbow. "Seeing now, it seems that the mermaids who show up are all women?"

"Have you forgotten? Only female mermaids have the right to contact the outside world. Male mermaids are only equipped to guard the home and graze and hunt."

Aldenan sighed: "Thank the Holy King, I was not born in the water."

Just as the orc was talking with the werewolf, a dark-skinned tauren in chain armor, earrings, rushed into the bar and began to look around.

Aldenan craned his neck, pointed to the door and said to Carroll, "Look, isn't that Bourville who is on duty with us?"

Carol turned his head and looked around. After confirming the identity of the person who came, he raised his big hand and said loudly, "Hei Tan! Look here! Come here and have a drink together at the bar!"

The tauren saw Carol, rushed over, and said anxiously: "You still have the mind to drink here?!"

Carroll and Alder looked at each other south.

"What's wrong?"

The tauren pointed his finger in the direction of Twilight City, and spoke quickly: "Miss Barbara, and Mr. Randall, were surrounded by a large group of members of the Holy Order! They said they wanted to send the two of them to gods. The land of cutting!"

Carol's body was stiff there, as if he couldn't believe everything he heard.

After a while, he stood up abruptly, turned the chair under him, and rushed towards the entrance of the tavern without looking back.

"Carroll, you bastard, wait for me!" Aldenan stood up quickly, apologized to the surprised diners around him, and ran out of the bar.

Carol, who ran across the streets of Waiheke Island, was like a mad rhino. Any obstacle in front of him, whether it was a street stall or a fence or barricade, was knocked aside by him without hesitation. .

Carroll rushed all the way south~lightnovelpub.net~ Built at the southernmost Griffin Outpost on Waiheke Island, a dwarf trainer who was standing scrubbing the back of a griffon with a horsehair brush, caught a glimpse of one from the corner of his eye. The two-meter-tall green-skinned orc rushed towards him at full speed from the bottom of the mountain, his eyes widened in fright, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground.

Carol snatched the reins of the Griffin, turned on the mount, and led it to the edge of the high platform.

Looking at the guards gathered below, the dwarf finally reacted: "Unless it is a special messenger! Otherwise, the use of griffon must show the scripture of the Holy Order!"

Carol didn't seem to hear these words at all. He clamped the abdomen of the mount with his legs, and the Griffin suddenly opened his wings, leading him slowly into the air, and flew towards Muxicheng.

The shocked dwarf hurried to the height of the watchtower and blew the guard horn.

Panting, Aldenan looked at the Griffon flying over his head, crying without tears: "Wait for me! You green-skinned bastard! I haven't gotten up! I'm **** up yet!"
