The sea, the sleeping island.

By the time the last house came up, the skyline had become a darkened yellow.Although the sunset is not visible, the afterglow through the clouds still leaves a golden light on the sea.If it were not a cold wind blowing on the face, such a scene would not look much different from autumn.

“Okay, that’s done.”Lian mentioned the scarf around his neck, so that the ears can also be wrapped in soft cotton wool, "the next thing you can just move in the furniture and the bed."

“The masterpiece!”Durat King must patted his hand and said, "It took only half a month to build so many houses, I thought that Mr. Tily had just exaggerated it at first."

"Mr. Tiley never lies."I put a word with the wind.

"Yes," he said, touching his thick double chin, "so that I can safely move the people over."What is it?What is this?”

The merchant from the string moon bay curiously groaned the grooved low wall of the house, and bent down and looked inside.

"This is the warm-up I learned in the West, called the torch."Lian explained, "It is connected to the stove room, and as long as the fire rises over there, the pit trough will become very warm."Then a layer of planks and mats of linen or wheatgrass, whether it is a bench or a bed, would be much more comfortable than the ordinary furniture—especially in winter.”

“Funny design,” Durat looked at Lian, “how many golden dragons would it take if you were hired for a long time?”

“What... what do you mean?”Lian is a little.

"Go to work in the string moon bay, there are still a few desert beaches in my territory that have not been developed, and your ability is a great helper."He rubbed his hand and said, "How many golden dragons do you need to pay the sleeping spell, and will Mr. Tily promise to let you follow me?"

“No, I didn’t want to leave—”

"There you can live a much better life than this," interrupted Durat, "and you can live in the same compound as I do, you can enjoy every day the wine and the game from the four kingdoms, and have attendants everywhere - that is the day that many people long, and if you serve me, it is not a problem.Besides, did not Mr. Tiley say that the "sleeping spell" was a must, and I could afford to pay for more recruitment."

Lian's eyebrows frowned, this attitude she is no stranger, said it was employment, but in fact there is not much difference from buying herself.Just when she wanted to shout out two sentences, the wind gently took her hand, "the need to respond does not mean that there is a promise, there are some things that the witch can't do, and the other point of reaching the contract is that the consent of the person must be obtained."

“You mean I can’t pay?"Haven't you ever seen a business like this," said Durart, in an uneasive tone, "is it just to tease us when you opened the 'sleeping spell'?"Sooner or later, no one will appreciate it.”

"That is not necessarily," said one of the men who suddenly came to him, "whether it is the fjord or the four kingdoms, the bounty party composed of witches is the only case, and if you do not come to visit naturally, there will be others."

"You are again—" said the merchant, turning his head, couldn't help but say, "Ray, Lord Thunder!"

"When the "sleeping spell" was formulated, I had the idea that the consent of the employees to sign a contract was to take into account the possible risks in the task, and they could not be forced to go," laughed Thunder, "do you think there is a problem?"

"No, it makes perfect sense," said Durant, soon returning to normal, "that . . . there will be trouble for you, Miss Lian."

"Hold on," said Lian, looking at the merchant's left back, relieved, "Thank you."

"It's all right, I just happened to be passing by," laughed the Thunder, "and didn't you follow Mr. Tiley to the West?"

"Well, but I came back with the honey and the wind, for the sleeping island needed supplies and houses to spend the winter," she said simply, "you have completed your own adventure?"

"Hahaha, yes... it's an incredible journey," said the thunder's eyes, "the first time I saw a completely different height of the sea in the sea, the ship almost like flying, vertically toward the wall formed by the waves, and we did not fall into the deep sea!"If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there were such strange scenes in the world.”

“Different... sea?”The lily murmured.What kind of vision is this?The sea is not a stone, will it not flow down?”

“Well, I named it the ‘Sea Line’, just northeast of the Shadow Islands.When you turn it over, the wall is like a long line that can't see the edge, dividing the ocean into two distinct segments.”He patted his chest excitedly, “I can’t wait to try the next voyage farther!”

It is truly the most outstanding explorer in the fjord, and the first thing to return is to talk about adventure, not to her daughter far away from the west... Lian looked at each other and shook her head helplessly.

When night falls, the outdoor temperature plummets, and Lian climbs into bed early - this is the most relaxing moment of her day.For more than a month, in addition to building a new batch of houses, she has also transformed the old houses of other witches.And everyone crowded in the warm hot bed, nagging what they saw and heard in the border town, answered the questions that were sometimes curious and sometimes envious of the partners, and could talk for most of the night.

This time it was a bird kiss.

When it comes to putting it in a little butter roll back and forth a few times, frying to both sides of the golden, and sprinkling some salt is a very delicious dish, the sound of swallowing water is blowing around.

“I want to eat this too.”The shadow clamored, "The fish that has been chewing in the boat for a month is dry, and now the mouth is full of salt."

"It's good," said Morrill, choking Lily, "if it had been for the fact that Mr. Tiley's brother had invited me."

"Hey, you haven't heard anything," someone laughed, "where the bath comes straight from the wall, and the soap that can make the body smell after washing."

“Is there such a thing?”The shadow is curious.

"Of course, I brought one back," said Lian, skimming, "but it's over."

"Don't say this, they have at least experienced it, and I have followed Mr. Tiley to the west and immediately picked them up, and enjoyed nothing!"The wind complains.

Listening to the witch discussion, Lian suddenly couldn't help but think of an idea.

If you wanted to "hold long-term hire" his own is his Highness Roland Wimbledon, rather than Durat Kim's, will he agree?

Imagined that she found that if the other party was Roland, she could not say the word of rejection.

What a shame!

Lian shrank into the quilt, looked around, fortunately now turned off the oil lamp, no one will find their own little thought.

But when will Mr. Tiley accept His Royal Highness Roland?

If they could be together all the time, it would be better...Lotus tightened the scarf she held in her arms, so that she, or the other witches, could happily live in the border town.
