[The shark] Seven years later

The Lost City of Golden City is located at the easternmost end of the Zhifu Sea. It is a square and glittering golden city.

Zhiyan is not an aborigine of Lost City, he is an outsider.

He was picked up from the beach by craftsman Ming Yao.

When Zhi Yan was picked up, his wounds were horrific. There were three bloody knife wounds on his bare face, which split a face into four parts. He couldn't see the original appearance at all, which showed how vicious the killer was.

The night he picked it up, he was hot all over, talking nonsense, and almost couldn't bear to roll to see God Yan. Fortunately, the only witch doctor in Nancheng was quite skilled and bold, and used extreme methods to pull him back.

Three months later, Zhiyan finally got down from the couch and appeared in front of the crowd staggeringly. The three scars on his face gave the poor, who should have been weak, a ghostly look.

So the craftsmen living in Nancheng couldn't see it anymore, squeezed the materials from the top and bottom hair, and made a mask for Zhiyan to cover up the terrifying face.

That night.

Ming Yao, the best craftsman in Nancheng, came back from the palace. From the happy expression on his face, it can be seen that his superiors are very satisfied with the gadgets they handed in this time, so Zhi Yan saw a pair of trinkets brought up right after him. Box rewards.

It's just that the most exquisite things in the rewards are all made by them.

Seeing the things I made turn around and then return to my hands, for a craftsman, this feeling can be described as complicated.

But it also shows that the mood above is good, and their life can be more comfortable in a short period of time.

Zhiyan put down what he was doing and went forward.

Ming Yao handed him the jacket he took off, and asked someone to distribute the things to the original forger.

"Is there any wine at home?" Ming Yao asked with a smile.

Zhiyan was folding clothes, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go out and buy right away."

Ming Yao nodded and handed him a string of money.

Zhiyan put on his mask, took the money and wine pot and walked out the door. He stepped on the wooden clogs that made him very uncomfortable. It was awkward, but he had to go through the entire Lost City of Jindu and run to the distant North City to get wine.

This is not a good job, but Zhiyan understood that Ming Yao probably had something to do, so he found a reason to distract himself.

It's fine to say it clearly, why send such a time-consuming and laborious thing.

Zhiyan complained, but still trotted towards Beicheng.

To go to the North City, you need to pass through the Midtown, which is a huge and resplendent labyrinth, with a thin layer of gold foil pasted on the bricks of each wall.

In the labyrinth live the rare nobles of the Golden City Lost City, and the city lord lives in the tallest tower in the center.

The tower is made of crystal, and you can see a large shiny lump from a long distance, revealing a sense of "there is money here, come and rob it".

Zhiyan looked in that direction, and saw a gorgeous guard of honor slowly driving out of it, the only sedan chair was covered with a gauze, and a huge golden ball on the top of the gauze was shining brightly.

Gee.

Zhiyan's disgusted face.

This is why the Lost City of Golden Capital was attacked by outsiders twice in three days.

Although the so-called siege is like scratching an itch, it is not worth mentioning, but after a long time, it will make the city residents very annoying and sympathetic.

——Who wouldn't be tempted to look at these big, bright and valuable things? It's just that the wife of the city lord is so generous when she goes out.

——It's a pity that I can't get it anyway.

The guard of honor walked up to Zhi Yan, who bowed his head and bowed like everyone around him in salute.

The wife of the city lord is called Jinjun because he has a fish tail that shines like gold.

Yes, the city lord's wife is from the sea clan merman, she is a golden-tailed merman, her real name is "Kan", but she was changed to "gold" by the city lord, which is more suitable for Lost City of Jindu.

But even the wife who is so close to the Lost City of the Golden City and the heart of the city lord, ended up guarding the empty city alone after the initial favor. According to the rumors, the city lord probably went somewhere to find something shiny.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of the Lost City of Golden City is the No. 13 son of the most noble branch of the Sea Clan—the head of the Dragon Clan. He has mixed blood from some strange race and has a quirk of collecting all shiny things.

Including his wife, it's just a collection.

The Golden City Lost City is a huge treasure chest for his collection.

"Are you Ming Yao's servant?" The guard of honor suddenly stopped in front of Zhi Yan, and the veil on the sedan chair brushed Zhi Yan's nose, making him sneeze loudly.

Zhi Yan once followed Ming Yao to the palace to deliver blueprints, and met Jin Jun once, and thanks to the mask on his face that was weirder than his own, it was not surprising that he was recognized.

"Please excuse the villain's rudeness!" Zhi Yan knelt down awkwardly and made a gesture of panic.

Jin Jun in the sedan chair unconsciously grabbed the carvings on the armrest, absent-minded and eager for something, and said: "It's okay, Ming Yao's craftsmanship is good, I like it very much." He waved his hand , the guard of honor continued to move forward.

Zhi Yan was left with Monk Zhang Er who couldn't figure it out.

After the guard of honor had completely passed by, Zhiyan calmly patted the hem of the dusty clothes under the curious scrutiny of the crowd, looked back at Jin Jun who was sitting high in the sedan chair, showed a mocking smile, and turned to go to Beicheng. run.

After drinking and returning home, Ming Yao had already heated up the food and was waiting at the table.

Zhiyan handed over the flagon, sat down on the opposite seat and started eating.

After the meal, Zhiyan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and Ming Yao beckoned him over.

Zhi Yan took a blueprint from Ming Yao and said, "Send this to the palace tomorrow."

What is drawn on the blueprint is just a simple ornament, is such a thing worth sending to the palace?

Ah Yan looked up in surprise, and asked, "Am I going alone?"

Ming Yao said softly: "Jin Jun only called you, and I also need to prepare for the subsequent forging."

Zhiyan was a little disturbed when he thought of the mermaid named Jinjun who was actually Akan.

He said irritably, "I don't want to go." He also felt that his attitude seemed a little too self-willed, so he knelt on the blanket under Ming Yao's feet, hugged Ming Yao's thigh, "Ming Yao, can you push me?"

Ming Yao laughed, didn't answer, just reached out and rubbed Zhi Yan's head.

In order to heal his injuries before, Zhiyan's long hair was twisted, and now only his fluffy hand is left.

He rested his chin on Ming Yao's knee, closed his eyes and fell asleep unhappily.

He knew that he could just make a fuss in front of Ming Yao about this matter, it was useless.

On the second day, Zhiyan wore a gown embroidered with gold thread patterns in the Golden City Maze, and submitted a traffic application in front of the maze guards, and was brought into the palace by someone.

As usual, Zhiyan was blindfolded, holding a silk gauze belt in his hand, following every step.

The person who led the way this time was inexperienced, and Zhi Yan was staggered by the speed of the guide, hitting countless corners during the process, but fortunately the mask blocked it, otherwise the nosebleed oozing from his nose would be embarrassing if people saw it.

In front of the tower, Zhiyan took off the blindfold and handed it over to the servants in the tower to continue to be guided.

The dormitory where Jin Jun lives is on the second floor of the tower. There is a huge garden in the center of the tower, and there are rare glass flowers planted in it. Every time you pass by Zhiyan, you have to be blinded once.

He took the opportunity to wipe his nosebleed off his mask and rubbed his eyes secretly, but he didn't see the servant walking in front suddenly kneel down, and as soon as he put down his hand, he bumped into it sullenly.

Zhiyan seemed to hear a crisp sound in his nasal bone, and tears, snot, and nosebleeds gushed out from the pain, he quickly raised his head, and covered his nose with his hand inside the mask.

"Sorry." Zhiyan apologized in a muffled voice, secretly thinking that he was unlucky.

But he heard a chuckle from the person opposite and said, "Take him to bandage him."

The servant kneeling on the ground nodded and said: "Yes."

Zhiyan looked over in amazement, and only caught a trace of the corner of his clothes that turned away, and he couldn't see clearly as he was hurriedly grabbing the teardrops.

Zhiyan, who was supposed to go to Jinjun, was taken to the palace doctor to stop the bleeding.

He no longer shed tears, but he was still seen with light blue blood.

"Are you from the Sea Clan?" the palace doctor asked while thinking about how to bandage.

Not out of curiosity, just strike up a conversation casually.

So Zhiyan nodded silently, and the palace doctor wrapped two pieces of gauze thicker than a pinky finger into his nostrils, and the nasal bone that was still throbbing was severely injured again.

The strong Zhi Yan endured it and forced back the tears, avoiding the situation of being surprised that he and Jin Jun are of the same rare race.

The so-called bandaging was finally over, Zhi Yan put on his mask, and continued walking towards the destination with the servants waiting at the side.

This time, he finally arrived at Jin Jun's dormitory smoothly.

Although the dormitory is called a house, it has the palace specifications that even the emperors of the human race can hold a candle to.

When entering, you have to take off your shoes first, and then put on cloth shoes made of silk gauze, so as not to bring dust into the room, and second, to prevent people who walk on the jade-paved floor from slipping.

Its luxury is evident.

Zhiyan went in according to the rules, although he was unwilling, but still seemed willing to kneel down and salute Jin Jun, and presented the blueprint in his hand.

The Jinjun-made shark silk is okay, but it is not good at all when looking at the drawings.

But he still pretended to look at it for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, let's do it like this."

Zhiyan stood up, took back the blueprint from the servant, and stood back to his original position, waiting for orders.

Zhiyan didn't raise his head, and naturally saw Bu Jinjun's careful examination of him.

In fact, Jin Jun was having a headache while being pleasantly surprised.

The city lord who hadn't seen him for half a year finally came back, which made Jin Jun, who had been alone in the vacant room for a long time, feel happy.

But the first thing the city lord did when he came back was to let him, a majestic king, test a servant of a craftsman.

Jin Jun felt sour and astringent, wondering what the hell was going on.

I thought again, how should I try? !

The city owner didn't say anything, just dropped a sentence: "You try him." It's over, leave.

Jin Jun was so angry that he had angina pectoris, while secretly gnashing his teeth and looking at Zhiyan, he searched his memory for similar people.

His heart moved, and he said directly and forcefully: "Take off the mask and show me."

Zhiyan was taken aback.
