Little Lord

Jiang Zhuozhuo was just pointing at the lone bird when the ship approached the shore.

This time, a special guest came on board. She was wearing a fiery red long dress and flaming red lips that were difficult for most people to pull off. She looked gorgeous and flamboyant.

As the most distinguished guest on the ship, of course this lady was the first to disembark. The captain smiled and said, "Miss Lola, we have arrived at Woye Province."

Lola, Lueri's daughter, was born with a bright and beautiful face, but no one dared to ignore her talent because of her appearance.

When she was only in her twenties, she dared to sneak into various industries to understand the inside story and expose the shady industries. Later, she went deep into the war-torn areas to conduct interviews. Later, because she injured her left wing, she turned to being a behind-the-scenes publisher, but she never gave up her original intention and still raised a group of mysterious "carrier pigeons" under her.

It is said that it was an ancient tribe that only appeared in ancient books and was once trained to be loyal messengers.

The "carrier pigeons" under Lola's command now could be any kind of bird. No one knows their identities and appearances. All they know is that they can investigate the truth that the masses are concerned about at the first time.

Even if some people hate "carrier pigeons" to the core, they cannot belittle Lola based on her professional level. They can only criticize her for being fickle in love - it is rumored that she once made an uncle and nephew of a certain family fall in love with her at the same time.

In fact, for the bird tribe that has been blessed by the Mother Goddess, it is not uncommon to have a relationship with an uncle and a nephew at the same time. Just like there is a particularly dazzling light in the dark night, isn't it normal for moths passing by to fly towards the light?
It is because too many eyes are focused on her and no one can find any other faults in her that some people like to use these gossips to make a fuss.

Lola was recently reminiscing with someone in a province not too far from here, and received a letter from her father, saying that he had a manuscript and wanted her to help publish it, preferably in the direction of a bestseller.

The letter didn't say what the books were, just that they were fairy tales suitable for children.

If it was too far away, Lola might not come because she has never ventured into the field of children's books.

However, this time, since the distance was so close, and she hadn't visited her empty-nest old father for a long time, Lola decided to go there in person to see what the best-selling book seedling her old father was talking about was.

As soon as she got off the boat, Lola was attracted by the situation at the dock.

Because there are not many resources for foreign trade, this port is not like other ports that are filled with cargo boxes. Instead, it is extremely empty, with only a large circle of empty warehouses and a few shops around it.

Normally, a port with almost no foreign business should be very deserted, but what Lola saw was a scene completely different from what she had imagined: many men, women, old and young gathered in the square not far away, and all of them were performing some kind of training to a certain rhythm.

No matter what it is, as long as there are enough people doing it together and the movements are coordinated enough, it will give people an indescribable shock at first glance.

Lola had the same feeling. She had even been to the battlefield, so few things could shock her. But when she approached and saw people in the square spontaneously gathering together for training, she still felt that a vigorous vitality was bursting out of this land.

I heard that the population in Woye Province has a genetic defect, and many female birds cannot go out after winter. But now it is completely different. At a glance, there are quite a few female birds in the square!
It seems that the news brought back by the "carrier pigeon" is true. The Ninth Princess not only transformed into a human, but also obtained a new inheritance - otherwise, she would not have been able to make the Woye Province improve in such a short time.

Next to every person who is persisting in training, there is usually a bird flying, either looking at them with satisfaction, or patiently guiding them - or actively encouraging them.

For example, just as Lola approached, she saw a little round bird that looked like it was not yet an adult, praising it very hard: "You are amazing! You have persisted in a whole set of strength training!"

The thin little girl smiled happily: "I want to learn it quickly, and help the lord catch fish in the future!"

Last time, the lord's knights went out to sea and caught a big fish. They distributed some of the fish meat to their village and taught them how to cook it deliciously.

That day she ate the fish meatballs chopped by her grandmother, and until now she has never forgotten the delicious taste.

I didn't expect that just digging some common grass roots and picking some common wild fruits could easily get rid of the fishy smell.

Also, there are surprisingly few fish bones in the fish caught at sea. After removing the skeletons of big fish, you don’t have to worry about them pricking your mouth!

So she had a goal, she also wanted to help the lord go fishing!
The complimenting little round bird was of course Jiang Zhuozhuo. After listening to the little girl's ideal, she felt like she had found a like-minded person: "You also think fish is super delicious, right? Let me tell you, fish is a treasure from head to toe. Even the fish bones can be ground into powder to supplement calcium for your pet snorlax. Then their bones will definitely make a more delicious soup!"

Laura: “…”

Laura couldn't help but look at the little round bird a few more times.

This little bird has not grown any long feathers that can identify her tribe. She looks like an ordinary bird.

But this little round bird didn't seem too weak to Lola, as if it was born with strength far superior to other birds.

Somehow she thought of the Ninth Princess mentioned in the letter from her old father.

Although her old father always called her a bird cub, Laura could see that he liked the Ninth Princess very much, otherwise he would not have written a letter to his own daughter saying "write a best-selling book for me".

That doesn't consider at all whether his daughter is good at this field!

Laura looked at it a few more times.

The little round bird was excitedly telling his fellow enthusiasts how selfless fish are, when he felt a pair of eyes repeatedly falling on him.

She turned her head curiously.

Hey!
What a beauty!
Girls here don't care much about dressing up. You can dress elegantly if you want or casually if you want. Some people are born to be the kind of people who will attract more attention even if they wear a sack on the street.

"Are you from outside?" The little round bird instantly turned into an enthusiastic bird, actively flew to Laura and asked, "Where do you want to go? I can lead the way for you!"

Good-looking people are gifts from God to the world, and she is the lucky one who received the gift. We must seize the opportunity to take a few more glances at her!

Lola smiled and said, "I came here to visit my father."

Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "Does your father work here? What's his name? Maybe I know him!" Lola said, "His name is Lueri."

Jiang Zhuozhuo opened his eyes wide, flew around Lola (and glanced at her long curly hair like a waterfall), and then said in surprise: "You are Mr. Luery's daughter!"

After hearing Jiang Zhuozhuo's words, Laura confirmed the identity of the little round bird: "Ninth Prince?"

When the little round bird heard the name, it looked around vigilantly.

Seeing that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, the little round bird lowered her voice and said, "Many people don't know my identity. Don't call me like that outside."

She gave a speech at the opening of the "Hourly Fries" chain store, but her bird form is not very recognizable at the moment, so no one recognizes her when she walks around in the form of a little round bird.

Her human form is quite recognizable, because she once visited the market at the dock in human form, and many people know that she has black hair.

Laura said, “Okay.”

She swapped the winged horses that were accompanying her and asked the little round bird to lead her to the castle.

Many people looked at Lola with envy after seeing the winged horse. This is a mount that only nobles and knights can own!

Seeing that Lola had climbed onto the horse, the little round bird skillfully landed on the winged horse's head to show the way to the new mount.

Ever since he witnessed the loyalty of Horville's winged horse to his master and the love of other winged horses for their fellow kin, Jiang Zhuozhuo has had a very good impression of them and would chirp to them from time to time.

She doesn't care whether people can understand her bird language or not.

Only after they were far away from the dock did Lola start talking about the story collection with Jiang Zhuozhuo.

When it comes to this, Jiang Zhuozhuo has a lot to say.

Many fairy tales are derived from folk tales, and there may be similar bedtime stories all over the world to accompany children to sleep.

Even those who have never been to school can remember a few vivid and interesting stories to entertain their children.

Jiang Zhuozhuo remembered that when he was a child, he would do the "labor" of scratching his grandmother's back in exchange for her telling him the stories she knew over and over again.

No matter how many times I listen to it, I still enjoy it.

For example, the cautionary tale of Grandma Wolf is enduring.

The two little friends next door were two sisters. When they heard this story, they asked their mother to rewrite it. The elder sister asked the younger sister to be eaten, and she cleverly and bravely killed the cunning wolf grandmother; the younger sister asked for the exact opposite...

What child doesn’t like listening to stories?

Lola originally thought there was no need for children’s books, and she listened to the little round bird hopping around and sharing the children’s love of bedtime stories.

It was as if I could hear the soft whispers of stories being told in every household on those hot summer nights.

These are not just some vivid and interesting stories, but also a bond to enhance the relationship between children and adults.

When these children grow up, they may understand the moral of the story and tell it to their own children.

Perhaps this world needs not only cruel truths, but also fairy tales.

Children need to be given reasons to love this world.

The two chatted all the way until they arrived at the castle, and Jiang Zhuozhuo led Lola straight to Lao Lu's residence.

Recently, Lao Lu has been writing furiously in his creative field. He said that sweets give him plenty of inspiration and he must be given more sweets every day.

Jiang Zhuozhuo arranged for doctors to check his body regularly to make sure that he had no problems with his diet before providing him with sweets.

Fortunately, he loves to eat everything, and his diet is... relatively balanced!

And perhaps because he has been working intensively on fairy tale scene architecture recently, he not only did not gain weight, but even looked thinner.

It has the creative energy of youth.

After Jiang Zhuozhuo came back, he took a look at the pile of drawings drawn by Lao Lu and felt like he had met the king of competition in the industry.

Horror!
This gave her a strong urge to create!
No, absolutely not, she is a health-conscious woman now!
Never go astray!
Little Round Bird whispered to Laura: "He has been drawing like crazy recently. Remember to persuade him to rest more."

Laura was slightly surprised.

She remembered that when she left the imperial capital, her old father was grieving over her mother's new love (she didn't know how many times it was already), and he even silently accepted being ostracized to this remote province.

He looked like he was completely disappointed with the world.

Is the guy in the little round bird's mouth who strongly requested an increase in the sweets portion on the grounds of creative needs really her father? !
