The identity is average, although it is mysterious and curious, but it is not yet time for her to know.
Regarding the hemp bag full of food that appeared out of nowhere and the words that Xia Zuo blurted out when he was in the Silver Gang, Donna didn't raise any doubts.She is a smart person, she has figured out the temper of the two of them in the past confrontation, and knows how to judge the situation.
"Let's go to the trading market tomorrow." Xia Zuo suggested.
"Although NC20013 is only developed in the industry and the mech industry, it is a medium star after all, and it has the blessing of Saint Luo Academy - it is not surprising that even the best things appear here." Donna introduced, "Selling here The goods won't attract anyone's attention, so go ahead if you have something to do."
"I remember you said the same thing last time." Xia Zuo looked at Donna suspiciously.
"We'll leave after you settle down." Eugene made a final decision.
Fortunately, as Donna said, the trade economy in NC20013 is very prosperous, and all kinds of strange commodities on the market make the food in Skyrim no longer eye-catching.At least until this business has enough influence, it will not cause too many people to delve into it.Donna registered a merchant account in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and received the first order within 5 minutes.
The delivery speed of the drone logistics company saves her time and energy, and the shipment and delivery are usually completed within five seconds.
Seeing that the business is officially on the right track, Xia Zuo and the two are also ready to set off again.
"Anyway, be careful." Xia Zuo said when saying goodbye.
"You too," Donna said.
----------------
Skyrim, Leyertown.The sandwich hovered idly over the hotel windowsill, looking from a distance like a branch of a morning glory.While looking forward to the return of Xia Zuo and Eugene, it was angry for the 108th time that they left it behind.
As if Xia Zuo and Eugene would suddenly appear after a short roar, Sandwich also received a long-lost caress.
"It feels so good to come back from the gate of hell." Xia Zuo said to Eugene while stroking Sandwich's smooth head, "I didn't expect you to be the most dangerous guy. But I have experience. Next time you run wild, I'll sing to you."
Thinking of Xia Zuo's tune-deficient singing, Eugene was rather curious about how he, who had lost his mind, managed not to go berserk and escalate after listening to it.
Eugene threw Xia Zuo's backpack to him noncommittally, and said, "It's time to go to the Scarlet Plain."
When the two of them rode a horse and rode across the wilderness for half a month, the land finally turned from yellow to dark brown and then to deep red.Here, dust erupts frequently, the sky and the land seem to be connected into one piece, and a towering boundary marker in the chaos comes into view - the Scarlet Plain.
After passing the most desolate area, the Scarlet Plain gradually became populated. Sparse herdsmen built their houses on the same sparse grassland. The tanned children were chasing and playing, singing nursery rhymes, and their clear and tender voices were heard in the wilderness. Resounding above—"The devil turned the plain into blood, it was sealed, and hid in the heart of a beautiful woman, the poor woman fell into a deep sleep with the devil, when will she wake up, beautiful woman, the devil replied, the plain has become Turn blood and she will wake up."
Xia Zuo jumped off his horse, walked up to the group of children while holding the rein, and asked, "Little friend, what is this song about?"
The youngest child was pushed to the front, he put his hands behind his back awkwardly and said, "I'll tell you as long as I have ten Gelu."
Xia Zuo took out the small bag containing the money, but before he opened it, the children rushed up and ran away grabbing the money bag when he was not prepared.Seems to be used to this kind of thing, the money bag was passed around flexibly by them, Xia Zuo couldn't tell which child was holding the money bag.
"Sandwich, surround them." Eugene said in a deep voice, and Sandwich immediately shot out like a small arrow, using his enlarged body to surround the children who hadn't run far.Its prismatic eyes opened and closed, and the way it spit out snake letters made the younger children cry.
"Hand over the money bag, or the sandwiches will eat you up!" Xia Zuo deliberately threatened with a straight face.
Sandwich licked the face of one of the children with the snake letter. He screamed in fright, and the other children also cried.The youngest child choked up and pointed to the south and said, "I'm sorry brother, Adam took the purse away. Please let us go, please."
The cry of the child was like a symphony, playing one after another, Xia Zuo had a headache.
At this moment, a young girl wearing a black and white nun's attire came from not far away, her light golden curly hair hung gently on her chest, her skin was as white as spring snow, her light blue eyes concealed tenderness and melancholy, her lips were like Dessert made of cream, the sweet and soothing sound when you open your mouth makes you feel refreshed.
She folded her hands and looked at Xia Zuo and Youjin pleadingly, and said, "Masters, please forgive these children, I will help you get back the money you lost."
Seeing her, the little child was overjoyed and shouted, "Miss Jasmine!"

☆, Jasmine in the monastery
"Miss Jasmine?" Xia Zuo sighed in his heart. The girl in front of him really wanted a fresh jasmine flower, which was refreshing and irresistible.
But some people seem to have no such thing as humanity.Xia Zuo thought to himself when he saw Eugene who was as immobile as a mountain.
"Let them go." Xia Zuo said looking at Eugene who turned a blind eye to the beauty.
Eugene nodded when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Sandwich, come back." The sandwich instantly turned into a small snake and jumped into his pocket.
With no confinement left, the children hurriedly hid behind Jasmine. She blocked the children with her petite body, and said guiltily: "These children are the children of the herdsmen on the Scarlet Plain. There are too many natural disasters here and the herdsmen can't make money. Little Children can only starve. I am teaching them right and wrong, so please give these children some time."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Zuo nodded spinelessly, and asked again, "Does Miss Jasmine know what the nursery rhymes that children often sing are about?"
"The nursery rhyme tells the story of the goddess Veronica sealing the blood-colored demon." Jasmine replied, she suddenly remembered something, rubbed the cloth on her chest with her left hand uneasily, and said shyly, "The two adults should be far away. Come here, why don't you follow me to the Veronica Monastery to rectify, so that I can return the money bags that the children took away."
"Okay." Xia Zuo was quite happy, "It's my first time going to a monastery."
Veronica Monastery, as the name suggests, is a temple built in memory of the goddess Veronica.The ascetics in the monastery are only female, but as a refuge for the suffering people on the Scarlet Plain, the monastery has opened up many rooms for those who come here to take refuge.
The residents and nuns are self-sufficient, and they are close to the largest city in the Scarlet Plain, Cassedon City. Although they save money, they can survive at least.
The architecture of the monastery is mainly black and white, with black roofs and white stone walls making the monastery look holy and mysterious.The shrubs and giant trees were carefully pruned by the nuns and dotted in the monotonous courtyards, giving the depressing sky of the Scarlet Plain a little more natural green.
Entering the gate of the monastery, there is a square courtyard in the center, in which there is a statue of a goddess carved from pure white marble, with two distant mountain eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and there is faint sadness in the lightly closed eyes. Her long hair was combed neatly behind her ears, and she folded her hands in front of her chest, as if praying for something.
"It's so beautiful. I think the person who sculpted her must love her." Xia Zuo sighed.
"A long time ago, the blood-colored demons made life difficult for the people here. Until one day, the goddess Veronica sealed the blood-colored demons with her life. According to legend, Veronica is still alive today. After sealing the demons, she sank deep into the heart of the earth and never appeared again. With a stereotyped old voice, Kama, the dean of the Veranika Monastery, came from the corridor.
"Sister Karma! These two are friends who came from afar, can I prepare a comfortable vacant room for them?" Jasmine asked Maca shyly.
"Did the children of the nomads get into any trouble again?" Kama asked frequently.
"They will definitely correct it next time." Jasmine's soft voice became unexpectedly strong.
"You two young people, please feel free." Karma gestured to Xia Zuo and the others, and then she said to Jasmine, "Jasmine, come with me."
Jasmine made an apologetic gesture to the two and followed Kama out of the courtyard.
"You might as well glue your eyes on." Eugene's mocking voice came.
"I want you to take care of it." Xia Zuo withdrew his dazed gaze and turned to look at the statue of Veronica, "By the way, is there a god in this world?"
"The incomparable power is God." Eugene replied, "Veronica is just a magician whose ability is close to that of the Twelve Heroes, but in the legend, she defeated the Scarlet Demon by herself. So people started to make myths about her life."
"What is the relationship between Veronica and Gunther Ward? Why is there no trace of Gunther in the legend about the Scarlet Plain..."
"Anyway, do some research here first." Eugene looked towards the deep corridor of the monastery.
Wandering around in the monastery for a while, only to hear a crisp bell ringing, the residents filed in to the hall on the west side of the monastery.
The west hall is a canteen rebuilt from a prayer hall. There are two rows of simple wooden dining tables under the ornate carvings. Jasmine is holding a spoon and standing at the front end of the hall, serving meals for people.
She saw Xia Zuo and the two at the end of the crowd, and after whispering something to the nuns beside her, she put down the spoon and ran towards them carrying the black nuns.
"My lords, if you don't mind, please wait a moment. I'll take you to Sister Kama's reception room for dinner." Jasmine said with a slightly red cheek.
"It's okay, we'll just eat here." Xia Zuo was completely unwilling. Sister Karma's reception room couldn't have a canteen, where he could see the beautiful Miss Jasmine.
"That's a meal I cooked myself." Jasmine's cheeks turned redder, and she mustered up her courage to say, "I hope you like it."
"Miss Jasmine... cooked the meal herself!" Xia Zuo changed his face instantly, grabbed Eugene's arm and said, "Go, go!"
Eugene nodded coldly, and the three of them went to Sister Kama's parlor together.The heavy curtains made the living room dim, and the dining table was covered with a pink tablecloth, and there were silver plates and knives and forks on it.In the center of the dining table, six suet candles were burning on a candlestick with a silver base, which seemed to be mixed with floral essential oils, making the room extremely sweet and greasy.
"My lords." Sister Kama moved towards them dignifiedly. Eugene gracefully responded to her with a gentleman's etiquette, and opened the seat for her to ask her to sit down. Sister Kama nodded with a smile, and asked casually, "Excuse me." To put it bluntly, the two of you should be magicians, right?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, I... I was not careful." Jasmine hurriedly picked up the spoon that fell on the ground, and looked at the two of them in disbelief. Magician! How lucky those poor children are to have two kind adults!"
"Jasmine!" Sister Kama looked at her disapprovingly, then turned her head and said with a smile, "The mages in the Scarlet Plain are not easy to mess with, you two may not be very clear about the situation in the Scarlet Plain when you are new here. "
"Sister Karma, may I ask what happened to the Scarlet Plain recently?" Eugene asked.
"A change?" Sister Karma shook her head. "Because of the curse of the Scarlet Demon, disasters are befalling the Scarlet Plain every day—maybe the real change will be the day when there is no change."
"Curse?" Eugene frowned, "I thought the curse of the Scarlet Demon was just a fabricated element in the legend."
"Why don't the people in the Scarlet Plain leave here?" Sister Karma shook her head and said, "Born in Scarlet and dying in Scarlet—everyone who was born here, if they move their minds here, they will not end well; Catastrophes—natural disasters and human disasters often come one after another. Perhaps only Veronica Monastery is the only tranquility in the Scarlet Plain."
Jasmine listened quietly, folded her hands reverently on her chest, and softly recited prayers, her azure eyes glowing softly.
Her eyes reminded Xia Zuo of the blue sky he saw outside the cave when he first came to Skyrim Continent.He felt distressed—why a kind girl like Jasmine could only be trapped in the Scarlet Plain forever, unable to appreciate the beauty of the outside world.
"Sister Karma, is there any way to break the curse of the Scarlet Demon?" Xia Zuo asked.
"You said to break the curse..." Sister Karma looked at Xia Zuo in surprise, and seemed to think that this sentence was ridiculous, "Only by killing the bloody demon can the curse be broken. The bloody demon that even Goddess Ravnica can't reduce, who can defeat it in this day when magic power is rare... hey..."
Just as Xia Zuo was about to say something bold, Eugene stomped on his foot.He almost cried out in pain, so he took a bite of dessert to gag his mouth.
Sister Kama was not in high spirits. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my lords, I'm sorry for being late. Jasmine, please prepare a comfortable room for your lords."
After she left, Xia Zuo was about to talk to Jasmine, but Eugene grabbed his wrist and dragged him out.
"Excuse me." Eugene said coldly.
"Ah... good." Jasmine replied after being stunned for a second.
On the promenade, Xia Zuo leaned against the exquisitely carved Roman pillars and said angrily: "What are you talking about? We don't live in the monastery because we are going to Casserton City?"
Eugene nodded indifferently.
"I won't go! The monastery is so nice! Free to live and free to eat!" Xia Zuo was furious, spinning around like a monkey, "The monastery is right next to Cassedon, so you can definitely come back after investigating."
"When did you start feeling sorry for money for me?" Eugene said sarcastically, since he came to the Scarlet Plain, he has shown this look many times.
"I'm not...I didn't...I just didn't understand what you did!" Xia Zuo said with a blushing face.
"I've already said that there are many people here, and if we return to the Milky Way halfway, do you think no one will notice that we disappeared out of thin air?" Eugene said word by word.
"We are locked in the room, who will find out." Xia Zuo was still trying to continue struggling.
"Okay, you can stay here, and I will go to Casserton City by myself." Eugene thought he was very calm, if he hadn't added the last sentence, "Stay well with Miss Jasmine."
He was in a very bad mood, and his brows were so frown that he could kill a fly, so that the difficult guards in Casserton City only charged him a small entry fee because they were afraid.
After renting a house at random, Eugene stood in the empty room for a while, and then slammed the door out with a "slap".
He spent an afternoon learning about the streets and alleys of the city.When he returned to the foothold in the dusty world, there was a familiar figure standing outside the house.
"How could you leave me behind!" Xia Zuo made an angry look, but his pitiful eyes gave him away, "I'm still not your partner."
Without saying a word, Eugene passed by him, took out the key and opened the door.Looking at the gradually closing door, Xia Zuo scolded himself: "Are you an idiot! If you put a hot face on a cold butt, you will never see Miss Jasmine for the rest of your life!"
At this moment, the door opened again, and Eugene's cold voice came out: "Still coming in?"
Xia Zuo rushed in with a happy smile: "Here we come."
When Eugene came out of the bathroom wearing a loose nightgown, Xia Zuo had already fallen asleep on the dining table.Eugene pushed his head, and he asked in a daze, "What time is it?"
"Eleven o'clock, go take a shower."
"Oh."
Xia Zuo squinted his eyes and lay in the bathtub, the hot water made every pore of him expand comfortably, and he fell asleep again after a while.In the dream he was dried, dressed and thrown on the bed like a doll.
"Damn it hurts." Xia Zuo, who woke up, rubbed his waist and yelled at Eugene at the door of the bedroom, "You should take it easy, brother."
Eugene didn't look back, and closed the door with a bang.
The author has something to say: Please pay attention and collect, love you (?????)??
☆、Unrequited secret love
The next morning, when Xia Zuo moved downstairs, Eugene was already sitting at the dining table, holding a book with a deep red cover in his hand, flipping through it page by page.The sunlight leaped over his tall nose bridge and sprinkled on the book, forming mottled light and shadow playfully jumping at his fingertips.
"Breakfast." Eugene pointed to the dining table, on which lay a biscuit with blackberry laurel jam and a cup of hot cocoa.
"Although Miss Jasmine's cooking skills are also very good, in my heart you are the best." Xia Zuo said doggy.
"There's no need to talk nonsense." Eugene closed the book with a "snap" and left the dining table.
Xia Zuo resentfully stuffed a few mouthfuls of biscuits into his stomach, and drank the cup of cocoa in one gulp: "Wait for me!"
Eugene stopped in his tracks, stretched his hand to Xia Zuo's face, rubbed his thumb against the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "There is something next to the mouth."
Your tone and actions are very inconsistent!do you know!Xia Zuo shouted in his heart.
As Sister Kama said, robbery, theft, and fights happen every day in Casceton City. Any anomaly on the Bloody Plains.
Just a few days later, someone suddenly came to visit.Eugene was sitting on the sofa looking at the historical books of the Scarlet Plain, dozing off with a sandwich wrapped around him.Hearing Xia Zuo inviting someone to come in outside the door, Eugene took his eyes away from the book—after a while Xia Zuo ran to the kitchen to take out the leftover pumpkin pie from the morning, and after a while, He came back with an empty plate and a familiar money bag in his hand.
"The children of the herdsmen." Xia Zuo explained, "They were persuaded by Jasmine to come over and return the wallet to us."
"Hmm." Eugene turned his gaze back, as if he didn't have the slightest interest in the wallet.
"I want to go to the monastery to thank Miss Jasmine." Xia Zuo didn't know why he wanted to ask Eugene for advice.
"Go." Eugene didn't give him a glance, staring at the classics, with his lips parted slightly, he uttered a cold word through his teeth.
Xia Zuo slowly raised his legs and moved to the gate, and said quickly: "Then I'm leaving, don't wait for me for dinner!" After finishing speaking, he closed the door at the speed of light.
After leaving the door, Xia Zuo felt a lot more relaxed. Eugene didn't like him going to the monastery very much, and it was as difficult for him to propose going to the monastery in front of Eugene as a cheating husband telling his wife to go to a private meeting with his lover.
"Huh, never mind." He took a deep breath, "I have to bring some presents for Miss Jasmine."
Due to the perennial drought, fresh food is extremely expensive in the Scarlet Plains.Xia Zuo was brutally slaughtered by the owner of the fruit shop, causing the owner of the flower shop nearby to smack his lips repeatedly.
Xia Zuo noticed the flowers placed in the flower shop, among which those pure white jasmines were exuding a seductive aroma.
"Why, young man, do you want to buy flowers for a girl?" The florist smiled and picked up a bouquet of roses and handed it to Xia Zuo. "Bringing it has a 90.00% chance of success."
Probably fascinated by ghosts, Xia Zuo was walking dazedly on the way to Veronica Monastery with roses worth twenty glu. His heart was beating violently, as if a hundred fine horses were galloping .
Passing through a small hill, Veronica Monastery finally appeared in sight. The dense forest at the gate of the monastery was blurred by the red and yellow halo of the setting sun.
Xia Zuo noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be a young man and a woman standing under a big tree—the girl was leaning against the tree trunk, and was raising her head to accept the boy's light kiss.
The sunlight cast the silhouettes of the two on the ground, and the girl's beautiful profile exuded a holy light.The rose in Xia Zuo's hand fell to the ground. If time could be turned back, Xia Zuo wished that he was still in the small house in Cassaiton City, sitting by the fireplace and reading a book with Eugene.
His rash action alarmed the young couple.
Jasmine pushed away the young man who was kissing her, and she stammered, "Lord Xia Zuo...I..."
Xia Zuo restrained his trembling hands, picked up the bouquet of roses, raised his head and showed a forced smile: "Miss Jasmine, why are you here?"
The young man walked between the two and extended his right hand to Xia Zuo: "Hi, I'm Mike. Jasmine and I have been in love for a long time, but because of her status as a nun, our relationship cannot be made public. I hope you can help us keep it secret. "
Xia Zuo's mind went blank, he heard his own voice saying calmly: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."
Jasmine clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Xia Zuo. But what's the matter with Master Xia Zuo coming to the monastery today?" The eyes of the couple fell on the rose in Xia Zuo's hand at the same time.
"It's like this. Those kids returned the purse to me today. I'm here to thank you, Miss Jasmine." Xia Zuo felt his heart was riddled with holes from the energy gun, but he still smiled. He handed the fruit basket to Jasmine, then hid the roses behind his back, and stammered, "You...Eugene wants to put some flowers at home."
Jasmine nodded, and she said with concern: "Lord Xia Zuo, it's getting late, the Scarlet Plain has always been unsafe, you should go back early."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Xia Zuo felt that his body weighed a thousand pounds, he turned around and left the two of them.
Like a heartbroken ghost, he sat on the field for a long time, until the sky was full of stars, and then he dragged his heavy steps back to his temporary home in Carselton City.
Eugene dozed in a chair by the fireplace, which crackled and licked the firewood.A spark exploded with a bang, awakening Eugene from his sleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Zuo sitting on the high-arm sofa opposite him with tears streaming down his face, a bunch of dying roses blown by the wind lay on his lap, decaying just like himself.
"What's the matter?" Eugene asked, with a tenderness hidden in his voice that he didn't even realize.
Xia Zuo shook his head like a rattle: "It's nothing, nothing happened."
"Going to find Jasmine happily, but returning home with a bouquet of roses in frustration." Eugene intended to expose Xia Zuo's ridiculous disguise, but he finally took it back, "Forget it."
He left the fireplace and walked across the room.After a while, a cup of steaming milk was handed to Xia Zuo.Xia Zuo clutched the milk glass tightly, as if he wanted to put his head in it, and big tears fell into the milk.
"Gudu Gudu", Xia Zuo's stomach growled inappropriately.
"You didn't eat dinner?" Eugene asked with a straight face.
"Yeah." Xia Zuo nodded. In fact, he has no appetite at all. Now his body is extremely hungry, and his stomach starts to complain.
Eugene returned to the kitchen, and Xia Zuo was moved when he heard the sound of pots and pans banging while sitting on the sofa.
"At least Eugene is also a bachelor, what am I in a hurry for?"
By the time he was comfortably eating the steamed red silk fish with tempeh salad that Eugene himself had served, the unrequited love that ended badly had been forgotten by him.
"Eugene." Xia Zuo's cheeks puffed up, "You are such a good person."
"Shut up and eat," Eugene responded.
In the middle of the night, Xia Zuo sneaked out of the house. He left the city along the main road and ran all the way to the monastery.It was still the dense forest, and a group of people stood there, as if some kind of ceremony was being held.Xia Zuo approached them, and gradually heard a heart-piercing cry.This voice was unexpectedly familiar, coming from the center of the crowd.Xia Zuo tried his best to push through the dense crowd, and looked in the middle, and there was a woman kneeling on the ground, her curly blond hair messily scattered on her shoulders, and her black and white dress was messily worn on her body.She cried and cried, and red flames burst out from her body. In an instant, these flames turned into fire dragons and rushed towards the people around them.People screamed and were burned to charcoal with black smoke.And that woman got up from the ground, she raised her head and looked at Xia Zuo with an evil smile on her face.
"Miss Jasmine!" Xia Zuo screamed and opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in his home in Casceton City, on the sofa by the fireplace.
"You're having a nightmare." Eugene squatted in front of him, stroking his face, as if it would make him feel better.
"I dreamed about Jasmine, and she turned into a monster! Kill everyone!" Xia Zuo grabbed Eugene's hand and said eagerly.
"Think about it every day and dream at night." Youjin touched Xia Zuo's hair, "You only have such a dream because you care too much about Scarlet Demon and Jasmine, go to bed and have a good sleep."
"Okay." Xia Zuo wanted to stand up, but only then did he realize that Eugene's face was just a few centimeters away from him. They had never been so close before, and kissing at such a distance would be effortless .
Realizing what he was thinking, Xia Zuo's face turned red instantly.He pushed Eugene away awkwardly, and stammered, "I'm going to bed."
Seeing the back of Xia Zuo leaving in a hurry, Eugene, who was left alone, showed a smile that Xia Zuo's scalp would definitely tingle after seeing it.
After sorting out his feelings, Xia Zuo found that he seemed to be able to face Jasmine more easily. Because the two were similar in age, they gradually became friends who could call each other by their names.Whenever Eugene didn't need him, he would come to the monastery and do some good things under Jasmine's guidance - such as planting vegetables in the monastery fields; knitting sweaters for the children of the nomads; They served rice.
Jasmine has always selflessly dedicated every part of her strength. She always said that she was born in a monastery and was raised by kind nuns, so she should be a pious person like them.Everything was developing step by step, and just when Jasmine thought she would grow old like this, she fell in love with Mike.The guilt of her blind love made her desperately make amends on the other side.
"Jasmine, you just got rid of the high fever for three consecutive days this morning, why do you have to force yourself." On the way to the herdsman's house, Xia Zuo said worriedly.
"I promised to teach them to read before, so I can't break my word and set a bad example for the children." Jasmine said in a comforting tone, "Okay, all my illnesses are cured, even Sister Karma Also thought I could run three laps around Cartheton City alive and kicking."
"You can't be alive at all!" Xia Zuo looked at her reproachfully, "You are only 17 years old, you have to live like a little girl, not for others."
"I already have Mike." Jasmine smiled shyly, "If I ask for more, Goddess Veronica won't be happy."
"Okay, do as you like." Xia Zuo shrugged, "However, the body is the most important thing you know!"
"Got it!" Jasmine said sweetly, "Accompany me, a patient, to go shopping in the city later, the monastery has run out of daily necessities."

☆, the hideout of the bloody demon
The world believes that although the inhuman rule of the Raphael family has made the Scarlet Plain full of complaints, perhaps this is the only way to suppress this wild land.But the author believes that social problems often arise because the means of governance are not just right, and the relationship between the two is not a chicken-and-egg relationship.
——From the preface of "The Violence of the Nobles"
Jasmine was extremely popular in Cassaiton City, and even the difficult soldier at the city gate blushed and gave Jasmine a bag of biscuits.
"Let's go to the monastery for dinner, Xia Zuo." When the two of them were preparing to return to the monastery with big bags and small bags, Jasmine asked, "Where did Lord Eugene go? Why don't you invite him to go with you?"
"No, no." Xia Zuo shook his head, "He's been too busy to touch the ground during this time, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the monastery to play with you every day."
"Alright then." Jasmine said disappointedly, "I will only invite Mrs. Eugene next time, so let's go first."
At this moment, the crowd coming and going on the road quickly gave way to both sides of the street, and two brightly colored horses pulled a luxuriously decorated carriage from outside the city.Behind the carriage followed a group of young attendants on horseback, each of them wearing a sword, and there were even four magicians with high-level staffs among them.
"It's Raphael XI." Jasmine pulled Xia Zuo aside and said in a low voice, "You came to the Scarlet Plain not long ago. This lord is the lord of Cassedon City and a nobleman of the Southern Kingdom."
"What a big show." Xia Zuo sighed, "But it seems that the locals seem to be quite afraid of him."
"That's right, Raphael XI is not a good person." Jasmine said, "But in some respects, only a character like him can lead the chaotic Scarlet Plain."
After finishing speaking, Jasmine sighed, with worry hidden in her eyes, she tried her best to hide herself behind Xia Zuo, her head buried extremely low.Even so, her eye-catching nun dress stood out from the crowd, and Raphael XI's luxurious carriage stopped in front of her.
She clutched the lace of her cuffs tightly, and stared palely at the opening door of the carriage.
"Miss Jasmine." The door opened, and a tall and thin middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage, "Long time no see. A while ago, Lord Raphael XI's invitation was ruthlessly rejected by Miss Jasmine, which made him sad For a few days."
"Mr. Fergus." Jasmine spat out a short sentence, as if she didn't want to say too much.
Fergus stopped talking to Jasmine, he pulled out a small silver staircase from the back of the carriage, and put it between the carriage and the ground.A greasy right hand covered with rings stretched out from the carriage, and Fergus hurriedly held that hand.Raphael XI staggered down the small stairs from the carriage, his white flesh trembled one after another like waves in the sea, his face and neck seemed to be connected together, his chin The piece of flesh seemed to be inflating an air mattress with his breathing.
"Miss Jasmine, I finally see you again." Raphael XI smiled, and this smile made the fat on his chin increase by three layers, "I came back from Fort Balder and brought you a lot of interesting Miss Jasmine will definitely like this gift very much."
"Thank you, Lord Raphael XI." Jasmine held up her skirt and bowed to him, "I can't accept your gift, Sister Karma will blame me."
"Oh, it's Kama again. How much more trouble does this old woman have to do to me!" Raphael XI growled angrily, and in just a split second, sweat covered his forehead.
"My lord! This has nothing to do with Sister Karma. Sisters must be ascetic and not accept any expensive gifts. This is a rule that cannot be violated since the Veronica Monastery was built." Jasmine explained anxiously.
"Okay, I got it." Raphael XI said in a comforting tone, "Of course I won't embarrass Miss Jasmine. The gift I want to give to Miss Jasmine is a newly built orphanage. My family personally allocated the funds, and the location was chosen on the commercial street in the center of Casserton City. What do you think Miss Jasmine would like?"
"Lord Raphael XI, it would be great if you could show mercy!" Jasmine exclaimed in surprise, her tone of joy was like a happy bird.
"But I have a small request." Raphael XI showed a gentle smile, "Can Miss Jasmine do me a favor and come to my house for a gathering?"
"I... Lord Raphael XI, can I discuss it with Sister Karma before answering you?" Jasmine asked in embarrassment.
"No, my mood is fickle. Maybe when I return to the house today, I will take this
Regarding the hemp bag full of food that appeared out of nowhere and the words that Xia Zuo blurted out when he was in the Silver Gang, Donna didn't raise any doubts.She is a smart person, she has figured out the temper of the two of them in the past confrontation, and knows how to judge the situation.
"Let's go to the trading market tomorrow." Xia Zuo suggested.
"Although NC20013 is only developed in the industry and the mech industry, it is a medium star after all, and it has the blessing of Saint Luo Academy - it is not surprising that even the best things appear here." Donna introduced, "Selling here The goods won't attract anyone's attention, so go ahead if you have something to do."
"I remember you said the same thing last time." Xia Zuo looked at Donna suspiciously.
"We'll leave after you settle down." Eugene made a final decision.
Fortunately, as Donna said, the trade economy in NC20013 is very prosperous, and all kinds of strange commodities on the market make the food in Skyrim no longer eye-catching.At least until this business has enough influence, it will not cause too many people to delve into it.Donna registered a merchant account in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and received the first order within 5 minutes.
The delivery speed of the drone logistics company saves her time and energy, and the shipment and delivery are usually completed within five seconds.
Seeing that the business is officially on the right track, Xia Zuo and the two are also ready to set off again.
"Anyway, be careful." Xia Zuo said when saying goodbye.
"You too," Donna said.
----------------
Skyrim, Leyertown.The sandwich hovered idly over the hotel windowsill, looking from a distance like a branch of a morning glory.While looking forward to the return of Xia Zuo and Eugene, it was angry for the 108th time that they left it behind.
As if Xia Zuo and Eugene would suddenly appear after a short roar, Sandwich also received a long-lost caress.
"It feels so good to come back from the gate of hell." Xia Zuo said to Eugene while stroking Sandwich's smooth head, "I didn't expect you to be the most dangerous guy. But I have experience. Next time you run wild, I'll sing to you."
Thinking of Xia Zuo's tune-deficient singing, Eugene was rather curious about how he, who had lost his mind, managed not to go berserk and escalate after listening to it.
Eugene threw Xia Zuo's backpack to him noncommittally, and said, "It's time to go to the Scarlet Plain."
When the two of them rode a horse and rode across the wilderness for half a month, the land finally turned from yellow to dark brown and then to deep red.Here, dust erupts frequently, the sky and the land seem to be connected into one piece, and a towering boundary marker in the chaos comes into view - the Scarlet Plain.
After passing the most desolate area, the Scarlet Plain gradually became populated. Sparse herdsmen built their houses on the same sparse grassland. The tanned children were chasing and playing, singing nursery rhymes, and their clear and tender voices were heard in the wilderness. Resounding above—"The devil turned the plain into blood, it was sealed, and hid in the heart of a beautiful woman, the poor woman fell into a deep sleep with the devil, when will she wake up, beautiful woman, the devil replied, the plain has become Turn blood and she will wake up."
Xia Zuo jumped off his horse, walked up to the group of children while holding the rein, and asked, "Little friend, what is this song about?"
The youngest child was pushed to the front, he put his hands behind his back awkwardly and said, "I'll tell you as long as I have ten Gelu."
Xia Zuo took out the small bag containing the money, but before he opened it, the children rushed up and ran away grabbing the money bag when he was not prepared.Seems to be used to this kind of thing, the money bag was passed around flexibly by them, Xia Zuo couldn't tell which child was holding the money bag.
"Sandwich, surround them." Eugene said in a deep voice, and Sandwich immediately shot out like a small arrow, using his enlarged body to surround the children who hadn't run far.Its prismatic eyes opened and closed, and the way it spit out snake letters made the younger children cry.
"Hand over the money bag, or the sandwiches will eat you up!" Xia Zuo deliberately threatened with a straight face.
Sandwich licked the face of one of the children with the snake letter. He screamed in fright, and the other children also cried.The youngest child choked up and pointed to the south and said, "I'm sorry brother, Adam took the purse away. Please let us go, please."
The cry of the child was like a symphony, playing one after another, Xia Zuo had a headache.
At this moment, a young girl wearing a black and white nun's attire came from not far away, her light golden curly hair hung gently on her chest, her skin was as white as spring snow, her light blue eyes concealed tenderness and melancholy, her lips were like Dessert made of cream, the sweet and soothing sound when you open your mouth makes you feel refreshed.
She folded her hands and looked at Xia Zuo and Youjin pleadingly, and said, "Masters, please forgive these children, I will help you get back the money you lost."
Seeing her, the little child was overjoyed and shouted, "Miss Jasmine!"

☆, Jasmine in the monastery
"Miss Jasmine?" Xia Zuo sighed in his heart. The girl in front of him really wanted a fresh jasmine flower, which was refreshing and irresistible.
But some people seem to have no such thing as humanity.Xia Zuo thought to himself when he saw Eugene who was as immobile as a mountain.
"Let them go." Xia Zuo said looking at Eugene who turned a blind eye to the beauty.
Eugene nodded when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Sandwich, come back." The sandwich instantly turned into a small snake and jumped into his pocket.
With no confinement left, the children hurriedly hid behind Jasmine. She blocked the children with her petite body, and said guiltily: "These children are the children of the herdsmen on the Scarlet Plain. There are too many natural disasters here and the herdsmen can't make money. Little Children can only starve. I am teaching them right and wrong, so please give these children some time."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Zuo nodded spinelessly, and asked again, "Does Miss Jasmine know what the nursery rhymes that children often sing are about?"
"The nursery rhyme tells the story of the goddess Veronica sealing the blood-colored demon." Jasmine replied, she suddenly remembered something, rubbed the cloth on her chest with her left hand uneasily, and said shyly, "The two adults should be far away. Come here, why don't you follow me to the Veronica Monastery to rectify, so that I can return the money bags that the children took away."
"Okay." Xia Zuo was quite happy, "It's my first time going to a monastery."
Veronica Monastery, as the name suggests, is a temple built in memory of the goddess Veronica.The ascetics in the monastery are only female, but as a refuge for the suffering people on the Scarlet Plain, the monastery has opened up many rooms for those who come here to take refuge.
The residents and nuns are self-sufficient, and they are close to the largest city in the Scarlet Plain, Cassedon City. Although they save money, they can survive at least.
The architecture of the monastery is mainly black and white, with black roofs and white stone walls making the monastery look holy and mysterious.The shrubs and giant trees were carefully pruned by the nuns and dotted in the monotonous courtyards, giving the depressing sky of the Scarlet Plain a little more natural green.
Entering the gate of the monastery, there is a square courtyard in the center, in which there is a statue of a goddess carved from pure white marble, with two distant mountain eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and there is faint sadness in the lightly closed eyes. Her long hair was combed neatly behind her ears, and she folded her hands in front of her chest, as if praying for something.
"It's so beautiful. I think the person who sculpted her must love her." Xia Zuo sighed.
"A long time ago, the blood-colored demons made life difficult for the people here. Until one day, the goddess Veronica sealed the blood-colored demons with her life. According to legend, Veronica is still alive today. After sealing the demons, she sank deep into the heart of the earth and never appeared again. With a stereotyped old voice, Kama, the dean of the Veranika Monastery, came from the corridor.
"Sister Karma! These two are friends who came from afar, can I prepare a comfortable vacant room for them?" Jasmine asked Maca shyly.
"Did the children of the nomads get into any trouble again?" Kama asked frequently.
"They will definitely correct it next time." Jasmine's soft voice became unexpectedly strong.
"You two young people, please feel free." Karma gestured to Xia Zuo and the others, and then she said to Jasmine, "Jasmine, come with me."
Jasmine made an apologetic gesture to the two and followed Kama out of the courtyard.
"You might as well glue your eyes on." Eugene's mocking voice came.
"I want you to take care of it." Xia Zuo withdrew his dazed gaze and turned to look at the statue of Veronica, "By the way, is there a god in this world?"
"The incomparable power is God." Eugene replied, "Veronica is just a magician whose ability is close to that of the Twelve Heroes, but in the legend, she defeated the Scarlet Demon by herself. So people started to make myths about her life."
"What is the relationship between Veronica and Gunther Ward? Why is there no trace of Gunther in the legend about the Scarlet Plain..."
"Anyway, do some research here first." Eugene looked towards the deep corridor of the monastery.
Wandering around in the monastery for a while, only to hear a crisp bell ringing, the residents filed in to the hall on the west side of the monastery.
The west hall is a canteen rebuilt from a prayer hall. There are two rows of simple wooden dining tables under the ornate carvings. Jasmine is holding a spoon and standing at the front end of the hall, serving meals for people.
She saw Xia Zuo and the two at the end of the crowd, and after whispering something to the nuns beside her, she put down the spoon and ran towards them carrying the black nuns.
"My lords, if you don't mind, please wait a moment. I'll take you to Sister Kama's reception room for dinner." Jasmine said with a slightly red cheek.
"It's okay, we'll just eat here." Xia Zuo was completely unwilling. Sister Karma's reception room couldn't have a canteen, where he could see the beautiful Miss Jasmine.
"That's a meal I cooked myself." Jasmine's cheeks turned redder, and she mustered up her courage to say, "I hope you like it."
"Miss Jasmine... cooked the meal herself!" Xia Zuo changed his face instantly, grabbed Eugene's arm and said, "Go, go!"
Eugene nodded coldly, and the three of them went to Sister Kama's parlor together.The heavy curtains made the living room dim, and the dining table was covered with a pink tablecloth, and there were silver plates and knives and forks on it.In the center of the dining table, six suet candles were burning on a candlestick with a silver base, which seemed to be mixed with floral essential oils, making the room extremely sweet and greasy.
"My lords." Sister Kama moved towards them dignifiedly. Eugene gracefully responded to her with a gentleman's etiquette, and opened the seat for her to ask her to sit down. Sister Kama nodded with a smile, and asked casually, "Excuse me." To put it bluntly, the two of you should be magicians, right?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, I... I was not careful." Jasmine hurriedly picked up the spoon that fell on the ground, and looked at the two of them in disbelief. Magician! How lucky those poor children are to have two kind adults!"
"Jasmine!" Sister Kama looked at her disapprovingly, then turned her head and said with a smile, "The mages in the Scarlet Plain are not easy to mess with, you two may not be very clear about the situation in the Scarlet Plain when you are new here. "
"Sister Karma, may I ask what happened to the Scarlet Plain recently?" Eugene asked.
"A change?" Sister Karma shook her head. "Because of the curse of the Scarlet Demon, disasters are befalling the Scarlet Plain every day—maybe the real change will be the day when there is no change."
"Curse?" Eugene frowned, "I thought the curse of the Scarlet Demon was just a fabricated element in the legend."
"Why don't the people in the Scarlet Plain leave here?" Sister Karma shook her head and said, "Born in Scarlet and dying in Scarlet—everyone who was born here, if they move their minds here, they will not end well; Catastrophes—natural disasters and human disasters often come one after another. Perhaps only Veronica Monastery is the only tranquility in the Scarlet Plain."
Jasmine listened quietly, folded her hands reverently on her chest, and softly recited prayers, her azure eyes glowing softly.
Her eyes reminded Xia Zuo of the blue sky he saw outside the cave when he first came to Skyrim Continent.He felt distressed—why a kind girl like Jasmine could only be trapped in the Scarlet Plain forever, unable to appreciate the beauty of the outside world.
"Sister Karma, is there any way to break the curse of the Scarlet Demon?" Xia Zuo asked.
"You said to break the curse..." Sister Karma looked at Xia Zuo in surprise, and seemed to think that this sentence was ridiculous, "Only by killing the bloody demon can the curse be broken. The bloody demon that even Goddess Ravnica can't reduce, who can defeat it in this day when magic power is rare... hey..."
Just as Xia Zuo was about to say something bold, Eugene stomped on his foot.He almost cried out in pain, so he took a bite of dessert to gag his mouth.
Sister Kama was not in high spirits. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my lords, I'm sorry for being late. Jasmine, please prepare a comfortable room for your lords."
After she left, Xia Zuo was about to talk to Jasmine, but Eugene grabbed his wrist and dragged him out.
"Excuse me." Eugene said coldly.
"Ah... good." Jasmine replied after being stunned for a second.
On the promenade, Xia Zuo leaned against the exquisitely carved Roman pillars and said angrily: "What are you talking about? We don't live in the monastery because we are going to Casserton City?"
Eugene nodded indifferently.
"I won't go! The monastery is so nice! Free to live and free to eat!" Xia Zuo was furious, spinning around like a monkey, "The monastery is right next to Cassedon, so you can definitely come back after investigating."
"When did you start feeling sorry for money for me?" Eugene said sarcastically, since he came to the Scarlet Plain, he has shown this look many times.
"I'm not...I didn't...I just didn't understand what you did!" Xia Zuo said with a blushing face.
"I've already said that there are many people here, and if we return to the Milky Way halfway, do you think no one will notice that we disappeared out of thin air?" Eugene said word by word.
"We are locked in the room, who will find out." Xia Zuo was still trying to continue struggling.
"Okay, you can stay here, and I will go to Casserton City by myself." Eugene thought he was very calm, if he hadn't added the last sentence, "Stay well with Miss Jasmine."
He was in a very bad mood, and his brows were so frown that he could kill a fly, so that the difficult guards in Casserton City only charged him a small entry fee because they were afraid.
After renting a house at random, Eugene stood in the empty room for a while, and then slammed the door out with a "slap".
He spent an afternoon learning about the streets and alleys of the city.When he returned to the foothold in the dusty world, there was a familiar figure standing outside the house.
"How could you leave me behind!" Xia Zuo made an angry look, but his pitiful eyes gave him away, "I'm still not your partner."
Without saying a word, Eugene passed by him, took out the key and opened the door.Looking at the gradually closing door, Xia Zuo scolded himself: "Are you an idiot! If you put a hot face on a cold butt, you will never see Miss Jasmine for the rest of your life!"
At this moment, the door opened again, and Eugene's cold voice came out: "Still coming in?"
Xia Zuo rushed in with a happy smile: "Here we come."
When Eugene came out of the bathroom wearing a loose nightgown, Xia Zuo had already fallen asleep on the dining table.Eugene pushed his head, and he asked in a daze, "What time is it?"
"Eleven o'clock, go take a shower."
"Oh."
Xia Zuo squinted his eyes and lay in the bathtub, the hot water made every pore of him expand comfortably, and he fell asleep again after a while.In the dream he was dried, dressed and thrown on the bed like a doll.
"Damn it hurts." Xia Zuo, who woke up, rubbed his waist and yelled at Eugene at the door of the bedroom, "You should take it easy, brother."
Eugene didn't look back, and closed the door with a bang.
The author has something to say: Please pay attention and collect, love you (?????)??
☆、Unrequited secret love
The next morning, when Xia Zuo moved downstairs, Eugene was already sitting at the dining table, holding a book with a deep red cover in his hand, flipping through it page by page.The sunlight leaped over his tall nose bridge and sprinkled on the book, forming mottled light and shadow playfully jumping at his fingertips.
"Breakfast." Eugene pointed to the dining table, on which lay a biscuit with blackberry laurel jam and a cup of hot cocoa.
"Although Miss Jasmine's cooking skills are also very good, in my heart you are the best." Xia Zuo said doggy.
"There's no need to talk nonsense." Eugene closed the book with a "snap" and left the dining table.
Xia Zuo resentfully stuffed a few mouthfuls of biscuits into his stomach, and drank the cup of cocoa in one gulp: "Wait for me!"
Eugene stopped in his tracks, stretched his hand to Xia Zuo's face, rubbed his thumb against the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "There is something next to the mouth."
Your tone and actions are very inconsistent!do you know!Xia Zuo shouted in his heart.
As Sister Kama said, robbery, theft, and fights happen every day in Casceton City. Any anomaly on the Bloody Plains.
Just a few days later, someone suddenly came to visit.Eugene was sitting on the sofa looking at the historical books of the Scarlet Plain, dozing off with a sandwich wrapped around him.Hearing Xia Zuo inviting someone to come in outside the door, Eugene took his eyes away from the book—after a while Xia Zuo ran to the kitchen to take out the leftover pumpkin pie from the morning, and after a while, He came back with an empty plate and a familiar money bag in his hand.
"The children of the herdsmen." Xia Zuo explained, "They were persuaded by Jasmine to come over and return the wallet to us."
"Hmm." Eugene turned his gaze back, as if he didn't have the slightest interest in the wallet.
"I want to go to the monastery to thank Miss Jasmine." Xia Zuo didn't know why he wanted to ask Eugene for advice.
"Go." Eugene didn't give him a glance, staring at the classics, with his lips parted slightly, he uttered a cold word through his teeth.
Xia Zuo slowly raised his legs and moved to the gate, and said quickly: "Then I'm leaving, don't wait for me for dinner!" After finishing speaking, he closed the door at the speed of light.
After leaving the door, Xia Zuo felt a lot more relaxed. Eugene didn't like him going to the monastery very much, and it was as difficult for him to propose going to the monastery in front of Eugene as a cheating husband telling his wife to go to a private meeting with his lover.
"Huh, never mind." He took a deep breath, "I have to bring some presents for Miss Jasmine."
Due to the perennial drought, fresh food is extremely expensive in the Scarlet Plains.Xia Zuo was brutally slaughtered by the owner of the fruit shop, causing the owner of the flower shop nearby to smack his lips repeatedly.
Xia Zuo noticed the flowers placed in the flower shop, among which those pure white jasmines were exuding a seductive aroma.
"Why, young man, do you want to buy flowers for a girl?" The florist smiled and picked up a bouquet of roses and handed it to Xia Zuo. "Bringing it has a 90.00% chance of success."
Probably fascinated by ghosts, Xia Zuo was walking dazedly on the way to Veronica Monastery with roses worth twenty glu. His heart was beating violently, as if a hundred fine horses were galloping .
Passing through a small hill, Veronica Monastery finally appeared in sight. The dense forest at the gate of the monastery was blurred by the red and yellow halo of the setting sun.
Xia Zuo noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be a young man and a woman standing under a big tree—the girl was leaning against the tree trunk, and was raising her head to accept the boy's light kiss.
The sunlight cast the silhouettes of the two on the ground, and the girl's beautiful profile exuded a holy light.The rose in Xia Zuo's hand fell to the ground. If time could be turned back, Xia Zuo wished that he was still in the small house in Cassaiton City, sitting by the fireplace and reading a book with Eugene.
His rash action alarmed the young couple.
Jasmine pushed away the young man who was kissing her, and she stammered, "Lord Xia Zuo...I..."
Xia Zuo restrained his trembling hands, picked up the bouquet of roses, raised his head and showed a forced smile: "Miss Jasmine, why are you here?"
The young man walked between the two and extended his right hand to Xia Zuo: "Hi, I'm Mike. Jasmine and I have been in love for a long time, but because of her status as a nun, our relationship cannot be made public. I hope you can help us keep it secret. "
Xia Zuo's mind went blank, he heard his own voice saying calmly: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."
Jasmine clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Xia Zuo. But what's the matter with Master Xia Zuo coming to the monastery today?" The eyes of the couple fell on the rose in Xia Zuo's hand at the same time.
"It's like this. Those kids returned the purse to me today. I'm here to thank you, Miss Jasmine." Xia Zuo felt his heart was riddled with holes from the energy gun, but he still smiled. He handed the fruit basket to Jasmine, then hid the roses behind his back, and stammered, "You...Eugene wants to put some flowers at home."
Jasmine nodded, and she said with concern: "Lord Xia Zuo, it's getting late, the Scarlet Plain has always been unsafe, you should go back early."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Xia Zuo felt that his body weighed a thousand pounds, he turned around and left the two of them.
Like a heartbroken ghost, he sat on the field for a long time, until the sky was full of stars, and then he dragged his heavy steps back to his temporary home in Carselton City.
Eugene dozed in a chair by the fireplace, which crackled and licked the firewood.A spark exploded with a bang, awakening Eugene from his sleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Zuo sitting on the high-arm sofa opposite him with tears streaming down his face, a bunch of dying roses blown by the wind lay on his lap, decaying just like himself.
"What's the matter?" Eugene asked, with a tenderness hidden in his voice that he didn't even realize.
Xia Zuo shook his head like a rattle: "It's nothing, nothing happened."
"Going to find Jasmine happily, but returning home with a bouquet of roses in frustration." Eugene intended to expose Xia Zuo's ridiculous disguise, but he finally took it back, "Forget it."
He left the fireplace and walked across the room.After a while, a cup of steaming milk was handed to Xia Zuo.Xia Zuo clutched the milk glass tightly, as if he wanted to put his head in it, and big tears fell into the milk.
"Gudu Gudu", Xia Zuo's stomach growled inappropriately.
"You didn't eat dinner?" Eugene asked with a straight face.
"Yeah." Xia Zuo nodded. In fact, he has no appetite at all. Now his body is extremely hungry, and his stomach starts to complain.
Eugene returned to the kitchen, and Xia Zuo was moved when he heard the sound of pots and pans banging while sitting on the sofa.
"At least Eugene is also a bachelor, what am I in a hurry for?"
By the time he was comfortably eating the steamed red silk fish with tempeh salad that Eugene himself had served, the unrequited love that ended badly had been forgotten by him.
"Eugene." Xia Zuo's cheeks puffed up, "You are such a good person."
"Shut up and eat," Eugene responded.
In the middle of the night, Xia Zuo sneaked out of the house. He left the city along the main road and ran all the way to the monastery.It was still the dense forest, and a group of people stood there, as if some kind of ceremony was being held.Xia Zuo approached them, and gradually heard a heart-piercing cry.This voice was unexpectedly familiar, coming from the center of the crowd.Xia Zuo tried his best to push through the dense crowd, and looked in the middle, and there was a woman kneeling on the ground, her curly blond hair messily scattered on her shoulders, and her black and white dress was messily worn on her body.She cried and cried, and red flames burst out from her body. In an instant, these flames turned into fire dragons and rushed towards the people around them.People screamed and were burned to charcoal with black smoke.And that woman got up from the ground, she raised her head and looked at Xia Zuo with an evil smile on her face.
"Miss Jasmine!" Xia Zuo screamed and opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in his home in Casceton City, on the sofa by the fireplace.
"You're having a nightmare." Eugene squatted in front of him, stroking his face, as if it would make him feel better.
"I dreamed about Jasmine, and she turned into a monster! Kill everyone!" Xia Zuo grabbed Eugene's hand and said eagerly.
"Think about it every day and dream at night." Youjin touched Xia Zuo's hair, "You only have such a dream because you care too much about Scarlet Demon and Jasmine, go to bed and have a good sleep."
"Okay." Xia Zuo wanted to stand up, but only then did he realize that Eugene's face was just a few centimeters away from him. They had never been so close before, and kissing at such a distance would be effortless .
Realizing what he was thinking, Xia Zuo's face turned red instantly.He pushed Eugene away awkwardly, and stammered, "I'm going to bed."
Seeing the back of Xia Zuo leaving in a hurry, Eugene, who was left alone, showed a smile that Xia Zuo's scalp would definitely tingle after seeing it.
After sorting out his feelings, Xia Zuo found that he seemed to be able to face Jasmine more easily. Because the two were similar in age, they gradually became friends who could call each other by their names.Whenever Eugene didn't need him, he would come to the monastery and do some good things under Jasmine's guidance - such as planting vegetables in the monastery fields; knitting sweaters for the children of the nomads; They served rice.
Jasmine has always selflessly dedicated every part of her strength. She always said that she was born in a monastery and was raised by kind nuns, so she should be a pious person like them.Everything was developing step by step, and just when Jasmine thought she would grow old like this, she fell in love with Mike.The guilt of her blind love made her desperately make amends on the other side.
"Jasmine, you just got rid of the high fever for three consecutive days this morning, why do you have to force yourself." On the way to the herdsman's house, Xia Zuo said worriedly.
"I promised to teach them to read before, so I can't break my word and set a bad example for the children." Jasmine said in a comforting tone, "Okay, all my illnesses are cured, even Sister Karma Also thought I could run three laps around Cartheton City alive and kicking."
"You can't be alive at all!" Xia Zuo looked at her reproachfully, "You are only 17 years old, you have to live like a little girl, not for others."
"I already have Mike." Jasmine smiled shyly, "If I ask for more, Goddess Veronica won't be happy."
"Okay, do as you like." Xia Zuo shrugged, "However, the body is the most important thing you know!"
"Got it!" Jasmine said sweetly, "Accompany me, a patient, to go shopping in the city later, the monastery has run out of daily necessities."
The author has something to say: Please pay attention and collect, dears, I love you
☆, the hideout of the bloody demon
The world believes that although the inhuman rule of the Raphael family has made the Scarlet Plain full of complaints, perhaps this is the only way to suppress this wild land.But the author believes that social problems often arise because the means of governance are not just right, and the relationship between the two is not a chicken-and-egg relationship.
——From the preface of "The Violence of the Nobles"
Jasmine was extremely popular in Cassaiton City, and even the difficult soldier at the city gate blushed and gave Jasmine a bag of biscuits.
"Let's go to the monastery for dinner, Xia Zuo." When the two of them were preparing to return to the monastery with big bags and small bags, Jasmine asked, "Where did Lord Eugene go? Why don't you invite him to go with you?"
"No, no." Xia Zuo shook his head, "He's been too busy to touch the ground during this time, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the monastery to play with you every day."
"Alright then." Jasmine said disappointedly, "I will only invite Mrs. Eugene next time, so let's go first."
At this moment, the crowd coming and going on the road quickly gave way to both sides of the street, and two brightly colored horses pulled a luxuriously decorated carriage from outside the city.Behind the carriage followed a group of young attendants on horseback, each of them wearing a sword, and there were even four magicians with high-level staffs among them.
"It's Raphael XI." Jasmine pulled Xia Zuo aside and said in a low voice, "You came to the Scarlet Plain not long ago. This lord is the lord of Cassedon City and a nobleman of the Southern Kingdom."
"What a big show." Xia Zuo sighed, "But it seems that the locals seem to be quite afraid of him."
"That's right, Raphael XI is not a good person." Jasmine said, "But in some respects, only a character like him can lead the chaotic Scarlet Plain."
After finishing speaking, Jasmine sighed, with worry hidden in her eyes, she tried her best to hide herself behind Xia Zuo, her head buried extremely low.Even so, her eye-catching nun dress stood out from the crowd, and Raphael XI's luxurious carriage stopped in front of her.
She clutched the lace of her cuffs tightly, and stared palely at the opening door of the carriage.
"Miss Jasmine." The door opened, and a tall and thin middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage, "Long time no see. A while ago, Lord Raphael XI's invitation was ruthlessly rejected by Miss Jasmine, which made him sad For a few days."
"Mr. Fergus." Jasmine spat out a short sentence, as if she didn't want to say too much.
Fergus stopped talking to Jasmine, he pulled out a small silver staircase from the back of the carriage, and put it between the carriage and the ground.A greasy right hand covered with rings stretched out from the carriage, and Fergus hurriedly held that hand.Raphael XI staggered down the small stairs from the carriage, his white flesh trembled one after another like waves in the sea, his face and neck seemed to be connected together, his chin The piece of flesh seemed to be inflating an air mattress with his breathing.
"Miss Jasmine, I finally see you again." Raphael XI smiled, and this smile made the fat on his chin increase by three layers, "I came back from Fort Balder and brought you a lot of interesting Miss Jasmine will definitely like this gift very much."
"Thank you, Lord Raphael XI." Jasmine held up her skirt and bowed to him, "I can't accept your gift, Sister Karma will blame me."
"Oh, it's Kama again. How much more trouble does this old woman have to do to me!" Raphael XI growled angrily, and in just a split second, sweat covered his forehead.
"My lord! This has nothing to do with Sister Karma. Sisters must be ascetic and not accept any expensive gifts. This is a rule that cannot be violated since the Veronica Monastery was built." Jasmine explained anxiously.
"Okay, I got it." Raphael XI said in a comforting tone, "Of course I won't embarrass Miss Jasmine. The gift I want to give to Miss Jasmine is a newly built orphanage. My family personally allocated the funds, and the location was chosen on the commercial street in the center of Casserton City. What do you think Miss Jasmine would like?"
"Lord Raphael XI, it would be great if you could show mercy!" Jasmine exclaimed in surprise, her tone of joy was like a happy bird.
"But I have a small request." Raphael XI showed a gentle smile, "Can Miss Jasmine do me a favor and come to my house for a gathering?"
"I... Lord Raphael XI, can I discuss it with Sister Karma before answering you?" Jasmine asked in embarrassment.
"No, my mood is fickle. Maybe when I return to the house today, I will take this
