Chapter 808 The Arrival of the 蛱蛱!
The airship landed in the city of Groombaum in the southeast of the Old World.
This is the hometown of Ota and his friends, and it is also the city where they are active.
The eyes of the girl widened, and she looked around curiously. Is this the "settlement" outside? She has never seen so many people!
Although for Ota and his friends, hiring an airship is a considerable expense, and even cost 70% to 80% of the reward for this hunting of sleeping birds.
But they still refused to accept the money from the girl, but dragged her to the tavern and treated her to a "real meal".
It must be said that the "live dry food" that the girl shared with them on the airship really disgusted them, but under the former's expectant gaze, they really couldn't bear to refuse.
One person chewed a fat endurance thunderworm.
Ugh.
But it can only be said that the eating habits are different. The hot seafood soup, huge grilled steak, colorful salad, cheese gratin and other delicacies on the table did not make Xixi feel so amazing.
It was more of a novelty.
She felt that these foods were indeed delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The only drawback was that the taste was not so "fresh".
Unlike thunderworms, they twisted and turned in the mouth and burst.
After a full meal, Ota and others took Xixi to stroll on the streets of Grombaum for a long time.
It was not until the evening that they sent her to the local branch of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce according to the requirements of Xixi's travel guide.
"Xixi! Remember the address of your aunt's house? If you are bullied or unhappy there, come to see your aunt at any time!" The tall Ota rubbed Xixi's head reluctantly.
The double swordsman also smiled and said, "You can also go to the house of 'Uncle Scarface' or 'Uncle Archery'. There is a little sister in the uncle's house, who is also very cute."
After thinking for a while, he put down the huge package and took out a few things and handed them to the three people.
"Souvenirs?" Ota was slightly surprised.
Xuanxia nodded again, and thanked the three people seriously. After saying goodbye, he walked into the door of the Chamber of Commerce.
The hunters looked at the things in each other's hands.
"Spirit Deer Nuts?"
"I don't know the butterfly, but it's so beautiful! It's blue and shiny."
"Fuck, mine is a golden rhinoceros beetle. Good guy, this thing is worth a lot of money."
"You want to sell it?!"
"I won't sell it!"
Xuanxia felt that he might have underestimated the preciousness of the pocket watch.
Or, underestimated Mr. Anshil's identity?
The stones on the floor and walls of the Chamber of Commerce were polished to be as bright as the water surface. The colorful transparent stones on the windows looked so precious that she didn't dare to touch them.
It felt like a very, very powerful place!
But when she took out the pocket watch, everyone here was very respectful to her and bowed before speaking.
The room arranged for her was obviously luxurious, but they always said that it was not prepared in advance and the hospitality was not good enough.
That should be a sleeping platform?
The cushion on it was too soft. She was not used to lying on it and would wrinkle her wings. She slept on the carpet at night. The carpet was also soft and she slept very comfortably.
After a night's rest, the old man who seemed to be the person in charge personally led her to board a much larger airship than the previous one and left this "settlement" called Groombaum.
I also wanted to say goodbye to Aunt Ota and the others.
Just like in the Chamber of Commerce, the people on the airship were also very polite to her, but she was a little uncomfortable.
I gave them the endurance thunderworms to get closer to them.
But seeing their hair standing up and their smiles stiff but still forcing themselves to chew thunderworms, I decided to forget it.
The old man in charge of the Chamber of Commerce was very kind. After listening to his explanation, I realized that Mr. Anshil seemed to be a very prestigious person. Because I saved him, I became a "honored guest".
Obviously, it doesn't have to be like this. It would be better if I could get along like Aunt Ota and Sister Hayata and Sister Fengying.
Also, people outside don't eat insects.
Thunderworms are obviously delicious.
The express letter from Groombaum arrived at the Sterling family's mansion one step earlier than the airship.
Mrs. Sterling, who was tired of attending tea parties, banquets, salons, and theaters all day long, seemed extremely excited after receiving the letter.
Putting aside the matter of Anxier, Mrs. Sterling was full of interest when she saw the description in the letter, saying that the girl was innocent and cute, "like a butterfly".
Beautiful, lively, butterfly, natives from the mysterious forest, every keyword touched her favor.
If she was not afraid of scaring the little girl, she would have wanted to hold a special banquet.
"Jessica! Come and help me see how this dress is!" Mrs. Sterling asked her eldest daughter excitedly.
Jessica, who was wearing a neat but decent women's formal dress, was helpless, "Mother, I still have work for the Chamber of Commerce. Are you urging me to come back just to ask this?"
Mrs. Sterling realized that Jessica didn't know that the spider was coming soon, and waved her finger to point to the letter on the table.
Jessica picked up the letter and glanced at it, then raised her eyebrows, "I see."
"So what's it like?" Mrs. Sterling picked up the gorgeous skirt with the latest style.
"That's too much. It's not the princess who came. According to Ansel's description, the lady has never been exposed to the world outside the tree sea. You will scare her."
"Oh, that makes sense!"
Mrs. Sterling called the waiter to take away the complicated and gorgeous dresses, and finally chose a relatively simple plain long dress.
"How about this one?"
"Well, it's quite suitable considering the clothes in your wardrobe."
"The room has been prepared for a long time. How about the food? Is it the same as the one we used to entertain Ansil's friends?"
"She's not a hunter, so she doesn't have such a big appetite. Prepare more sweets. These shouldn't be common in the forest."
"That makes sense!" Mrs. Sterling sent someone to give the order and turned around twice. "Do you think we should write to Ansil now?"
Jessica thought about this question for several seconds, as if she was weighing something. Finally, she nodded. "Write it, but don't say too much. Just say that we will treat Miss Qiqi well."
"Okay, I'll listen to you~."
Jessica didn't seem to care much on the surface, but she had no intention of returning to the Chamber of Commerce to continue working. She checked her mother's arrangements one by one.
The magnificent big room was replaced. It was prepared for someone like the third princess. Normal people would be unable to sleep if they lived here. There was also a dragon head hanging on the wall. It was scary when the lights were turned off at night.
The maids and waiters lined up to welcome her were also removed. Are you going to entertain her or show off your power?
The dinner venue was changed from the banquet hall to the tea pavilion used by my mother and friends for tea parties. The small round table was warmer than the long table, and the scenery was also better.
When everything was arranged, the waiter in the lobby just brought the news that Miss Qiqi had arrived.
Before Jessica could stop her, Mrs. Sterling was already running out excitedly.
She reluctantly adjusted her collar and lapels and hurried to catch up.
When she came to the lobby and saw the little girl, even the knowledgeable Jessica was amazed.
The butterfly-like clothes have a "non-artificial" beauty, just like real butterflies, gorgeous but not exaggerated, and pleasing to the eye.
In contrast, the "Swallowtail Set" that is quite popular among young female hunters seems to be more rigid, and the butterfly wings that are standing upright are a bit eye-catching.
Unlike the butterfly wings behind the girl in front of her, they can be folded and flapped. Can they really fly? !
The girl's eyes were equally impressive. Her dark irises were two circles larger than those of ordinary people, and her sclera was less, which made her eyes look particularly bright.
And her skin was incredible. It was the first time she had seen such skin. It was so white and tender that it seemed as if it had never been burned by the sun. Was it because of the "parasitic pupa" that Ansel mentioned?
Make one for me too!
"Ah~!" Mrs. Sterling, who had been stunned for several seconds, suddenly screamed and hugged the confused and waving girl into her arms, rubbing her cheeks.
Jessica felt sorry for her mother's rude behavior, but she couldn't help but feel envious.
I want to hug her, and I want to rub against her.
"Jessica!"
The tall Mrs. Sterling hugged the small girl who just reached her chest and didn't let go, "Go send a letter to Ansel! Tell that boy not to come back!
And warn him not to covet my daughter!"
"Ah?"
"From today on, Xixi is my daughter, yes, and your sister too!"
"."
Jessica nodded thoughtfully, "I'll go write the letter."
