Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

The hands around the man's neck gradually tightened, and Xie Wei looked directly into Sal's silver-gray eyes. He could see the love and tenderness in Sal's eyes, and he could also hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Sal's sweet words were really nice to hear. Before he met Sal, Xie Wei never knew that he would like to hear such words.

After all, no one except Sal had ever said such words to him.

"Sal, don't you want to ask me why I want that island?" After Xie Wei let go of Sal's neck and adjusted himself into a comfortable position, he nestled in Sal's arms and unbraided his hair, asking as he did so.

In Sal's opinion, his young partner wanted an island just out of curiosity, but since Little Rose said so, he would naturally cooperate and ask.

"Why do you want that island, my Lord?"

Xie Wei and Sal have only been married for eight months. Sal likes Xie Wei very much, but they don't actually know each other completely.

At least now, in Sal's opinion, Shevi is just a young man who is somewhat smart but lacks common sense due to long-term captivity. He is very curious about the outside world and has some courage, but he prefers a comfortable environment, is kind and gentle.

He took it for granted that he was responsible for doting on and teaching Xie Wei because he was eleven years older than his partner.

Thrall's doting is very simple and crude, and can be directly summarized as unconditionally satisfying any of Shevi's needs, even a seemingly willful and unreasonable request like buying a useless island.

What Xie Wei brought to the Far North Territory far exceeded the transfer taxes that Brett demanded. It was just spending some magic crystals to make people happy. Even if the retainers knew the true situation on Hutt Island, it is estimated that no one would object.

Young people have the right and freedom to be willful, but Xie Wei did not have that before, so Sal taught him how to be willful and indulged his willfulness.

"Because of salt, we don't have enough salt, after buying Hutt Island, we will have more salt than we can use up."

Xie Wei undid the braids in front of Sal, held Sal's shoulders and knelt on Sal's legs. He stood up to undid the braids on Sal's back, but before he could do anything, the man hugged his waist and pressed him back into his arms.

"Xie Wei, there are no salt mines or salt lakes on Hutt Island. If there were, the Empire would never abandon it."

Thrall was explaining common sense to his partner, but just as he finished, he heard his partner say something.

"There is no salt on the island, but there is in the sea."

The Far North Territory is located at the northernmost part of the continent. There is a narrow coastline on the edge of the territory, but due to the terrain, the coastline of the Far North Territory is completely blocked by towering mountains.

The fastest way to reach the seaside is to cross the Idona Snow Mountain, but even for the Parasau people, it takes half a month to cross the Idona Snow Mountain and reach the seaside.

Because there is no need to cross mountains and rivers to go to the seaside, most Parasau people have never seen the sea, and the fact that there is salt in the sea is completely beyond their cognition.

The salt mines and salt lakes on the Lar continent are firmly controlled by the powerful, and all those who process salt are slaves with lifelong contracts. For ordinary people, rock salt is ground from rock salt, and pool salt is fished out from salt lakes.

No one knows the specific method of making salt, and no matter which country or territory on the Lar continent, it is forbidden to privately make and sell salt, and salt must be purchased from designated shops in each country and territory.

Over time, no one cared about how salt was made or what the salt lake looked like. For most people, it was enough to have a place to buy salt. Unless salt was so expensive that ordinary people could not afford it, no one would study where the salt came from.

Xie Wei explained to Thrall how to make salt from seawater. Although Thrall had some doubts after listening to it, he asked his contracted partner, who was a subordinate of a large flying monster, to fetch a large bucket of seawater for Xie Wei to conduct experiments the next day.

Thrall discovered that his little Rose was not very clear about a lot of common sense on the Laer continent, but she knew a lot of different kinds of knowledge that even the scholars on the Laer continent did not know.

Xie Wei was responsible for purifying the seawater, assisted by Sal.

So the Lord of the Snowfield watched with his own eyes as his partner turned sea water into coarse salt step by step, and then processed the coarse salt into refined salt.

Taking the fine salt in the small porcelain bowl, Sal scooped it up with a spoon and tasted it. The taste of sea salt is different from the usual salt. It is not particularly salty and astringent, but has a natural freshness and unique fishy smell.

Anyway, it's edible and quite delicious.

The coastline of the Far North Territory is very narrow and all under cliffs, and the climate and temperature are not suitable for salt production. However, Hutt Island, which can be seen from the top of Edona Peak, is very suitable for salt drying in every aspect.

Xie Wei also told Sal about his guess that the disaster was a precious resource. Although there was no way to confirm it for the time being, the two had already agreed to buy Hutt Island at a lower price.

Although they are preparing to buy Hutt Island, this is not the most urgent matter in the near future.

Because the various crops planted before have gradually matured, at the end of the second month of spring, Thrall began to prepare for the harvest celebration.

The Parasau people seldom need to hold harvest celebrations. According to records in ancient books, it has only been held a few dozen times since the time of the ancestors.

Sar originally wanted to hold a birthday celebration for Shevi and announce the grain seeds at the celebration banquet, but because the imperial envoy had been staying in the city of Gut, under Shevi's persuasion, the Lord of the Snowfield reluctantly changed his partner's birthday celebration into a harvest celebration.

Xie Wei was not too obsessed with celebrating his birthday. He always felt that his birth had not brought good fate to his two mothers in his past and present lives.

But Sal told him very seriously that his birthday was a very important day, because it was because of his birth on this day that they could meet now.

Xie Wei received sweet words from Sal from time to time, and he had suspected that the man had secretly learned some secret of saying nice things behind his back.

But no clues were found, so Xie Wei secretly learned the talent of sweet talk from Sal.

I plan to keep it to appease Sal.

As the days passed, Sal was still very busy, and Shevi also had a lot of things to do. He no longer had to endure the days like before, and in the blink of an eye it was the third month of spring.

Two days before the celebration, due to some restrictions imposed by the Far North Territory on the Empire and the envoys' failure to return the magic crystals, a certain lord in the Imperial Capital had to come to Good City with his subordinates.
