On the way, Alona poked the poet's head with a smile: "Hey, poet, where did you get all that gold? This amount is enough to kill you, and you still dare to carry it around."
The poet glanced at Alona and stammered, "This is a gift from a girl who looks like you."
"A girl who looks like me?"
Alona was stunned and thought of the wild girl.
Since the poet was kneeling on the ground the whole time and his view was blocked by the table and screen, he did not see Lily.
"Hey, look at me, see if this is the case."
Alona imitated Lily's expression, revealing a kind of innocent and straightforward wildness, like a tiger or leopard resting in the shade of a tree, making people keep a distance and at the same time want to observe closely.
The poet carefully identified it and nodded.
"Eighty percent similar. She's more dangerous than you."
"More dangerous than me?"
What kind of statement is this? She is obviously taller, how can she be harmless than that girl?
"The girl who gave me the money was completely carefree. Walking down the street felt like walking in a wild jungle, yet she was completely relaxed and unafraid of attacks from wild beasts. This was because she never believed that monsters could pose a threat to her. She was the biggest monster."
The poet tried to look at Alona carefully, and suddenly slapped his forehead.
"It occurs to me, my Lord, that there is a lack of contempt in your eyes."
"Contempt?"
Alona tried hard to imagine a sense of contempt, but when her performances were judged by poets, she was always told that she was trying too hard, which became an obvious disdain.
In the end, when they were about to reach Alona's house, Alona still hadn't figured out the trick.
Alona's house is surrounded by a wall and covers a large area. Her family is rich and respected, but Alona still doesn't understand where the family's money comes from.
When she arrived at her doorstep, Alona still didn't understand what the equal and indifferent yet not suffocating contempt meant.
Just stop thinking about it.
She walked to a side door and kicked it open. The scene of small bridges, flowing water and houses, which was not like that of a nomadic tribe, appeared before her. It seemed as if she was immediately pulled into a fertile water town.
Two different scenes separated by a wall.
"Really? My father is becoming more and more like Jinghai. It wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly said one day that he has been a Jinghai native for a long time. I really hope that day never comes."
After entering the door, Alona looked back at the hesitant poet and beckoned her: "Come in."
"Is it really possible?"
"Just come in if you're told to. Don't talk nonsense."
Alona subconsciously put on a look of disgust and looked at the poet coldly.
"The rumor that you're carrying a large sum of money has probably spread throughout the Goshawk Tribe. If you don't want to be wrapped in a blanket and thrown into the grass at night and become fertilizer in a few days, you'd better come in."
The poet felt intimidated and looked around uneasily. He actually saw a few guys dressed in savage clothes looking at him and seemed to be commenting on him.
broken!
He shuddered with fear and trepidation as he entered the courtyard. The fragrant aroma of flowers filled his nostrils, and the courtyard was a vibrant riot of color, a picturesque spectacle of verdant crimson. The winding stream supported the water lilies, and the willow-like branches of the Amorpha fringed locust tree swayed gracefully in the breeze, a lovely sight. Butterflies and bees danced gracefully among the flowers, seemingly enjoying themselves.
The poet could not understand why the vast wilderness outside turned into a water town scene inside the courtyard. It seemed that the wall had some kind of magic that contained all the gentle spring scenery of the wilderness.
Alona saw the poet pick a morning glory and watch the juice seep from the stem into the palm of his hand.
"This is real."
He exclaimed as if in a dream.
Alona smiled gently and returned home. Her wildness and arrogance were suppressed by the spring beauty, and she had to retreat into her beautiful appearance and become dignified and elegant like a lady from a noble family.
"Of course. My father was so fascinated by the scenery of Jinghai that he spared no expense to have a mage set up a small puzzle in the courtyard, allowing the beautiful scenery thousands of miles away to bloom here."
Alona put her hands behind her head in annoyance, skillfully braided a complicated hairstyle, and went back into the house to put on the dress designed by her father.
No matter how she hangs out outside, her father must at least make sure she behaves properly at home, and at least not swear.
Alona listened to these advices patiently and finally compromised.
After changing her clothes, Alona looked as graceful and charming as a swan princess, with elegant manners. Even her arrogant expression was diluted by the overall soft colors, adding a touch of unruly beauty.
Alona compared her appearance to the stream, nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled maliciously, completely destroying the dignity she had worked so hard to maintain.
"Poet, wait here for a moment. I'll go settle the score with that guy."
"What account?"
"Haha, that little girl who looks so much like me is definitely related to him. She's either my eldest brother's child or his. I'm going to torture him!"
ps: There are many characters involved in the subsequent plot, and the pace may be a bit slow. I will try my best to write the plot clearly.
Chapter 354: Aunt Grandma
When Alona went to find his father, the servants said that the master was receiving guests and did not want to be disturbed. Even if Alona came, she would have to wait in the side hall.
According to the servants, there were also guests waiting in the side hall. They came with the guests who were being entertained, but the master had no time to greet them because he had some private conversation with the guests.
Alona rushed to the side hall with pride, ready to see who the guests were.
Then she bumped head-on into a pair of eyes as tranquil as the night.
Noita said politely, "We meet each other everywhere in life. Nice to meet again, Miss Alona."
"Uh-huh."
Alona turned her head and saw the red-robed wizard somewhere in the side hall.
It was the same group of people she met at the restaurant, but the only person missing was the little girl who looked so much like her.
There is indeed something fishy.
Alona pondered this and sat down next to Noita to inquire about the situation. "Hello, ma'am. I wonder what brings you here? I'm the second daughter in the family. If you need anything, please let me know."
Noita gave an unexpected answer.
"Ah, Miss Alona, I actually don't know why Lily came here." The beautiful girl smiled gently and explained her origins. "Miss Roshivia and I followed an elder to the wilderness for a walk, but the elder left us behind to meet a friend. Lily is the daughter of another elder, and like us, this is her first time here. I didn't want her to get into trouble, so I invited her along. I don't know much about her either."
"As for why we came here, we met a young man who looked somewhat like you on the way. He invited us to his mansion. Well, when he saw Lily, the young man was very excited."
Noita knew Lily only half a day earlier than Alona.
Alona nodded and pointed her finger at Luo Xiweiya: "Ah, is this mage's name Luo Xiweiya?"
"Yes."
"May I have the honor of knowing your name, young lady?"
"Noita."
Alona nodded, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard a similar name before.
The spring breeze brought the fragrance of flowers to the courtyard. Alona chuckled as she sat down next to Noita and asked curiously, "Miss Noita's earlier account of Romulus fascinated me. Could you tell me more about the legend of the Shadowless Kings' Tombs?"
Compared to the cold-hearted Roshivia, Noita is much gentler. Alona hopes to use her as a breakthrough point to learn more about the situation.
"That's certainly not a problem, but Ms. Alona, this kind of knowledge is quite complex even in Chongtianling. Few people besides archaeological organizations and historians are willing to delve into it. Why are you interested in this?"
Alona pouted. "Does a reason really have to be necessary? I aspire to become the greatest adventurer of the Goshawk Tribe. Of course, I must challenge the most mysterious and magnificent legends and uncover the secrets of the wilderness one by one."
Alona is full of confidence, like a young eagle about to spread its wings, ready to conquer the boundless sky.
Noita will not belittle people's dreams, and there is no need for reasons to explore the unknown.
"makes sense."
Noita revealed some of the secrets of the wilderness in a tone that sounded like chanting poetry.
The King of Running Wolves, the shadow galloping across the wilderness, the shadow traveler wandering in the vast land, he was once the master of Romulus and enjoyed endless glory.
When the Wilderness of Dragons was still called the Land of Running Wolves, the great Emperor Romulus used his wisdom and strength to thwart countless conspiracies and plots beyond the reach of glory, and broke thousands of hidden arrows.
But even an emperor born extraordinary could be defeated by the power of time and death. When Bai Xue's gentle whispers came with the wind, the predecessor of the Wolf King was terrified. He ordered the imperial servants to build an immortal mausoleum, and plucked his own shadow from the brightest sunlight, making it a servant to guard the mausoleum forever.
Thus the Wolf King wandered the Wolf Lands forever, hunting down any mortal who dared to disturb the Emperor's slumber.
"Only those of perfect virtue and high moral character will be allowed by the Wolf King to go to the gray palace and gaze upon the emperor's remains."
Alona listened attentively, and only after Noita finished speaking could she ask, "Even Romulus, the emperor of the Eternal Empire, couldn't resist the erosion of time?"
"Of course, but, how should I put it... Even if an emperor proves his strength in the Pantheon and gains supreme power under the witness of the gods, as long as an emperor does not become a 'legend', there will eventually be a way to kill them. And according to the information I have learned, none of Romulus' emperors had a good end."
Every time the unified emperor was replaced, an emperor was sacrificed.
The predecessor of the Wolf King also died inexplicably. He built the tomb for a greater resurrection, but the end result was that he could not wake up from his sleep.
"Legend?" Alona grasped the key information. "An empire that rules over all of Gaia, doesn't even have a legend?"
"No, I can't tell you the details."
The first legend in history is Dream Sky.
Noita's unfathomable smile made Alona very angry, while Luo Xiweiya, who was listening, showed a barely noticeable smile.
The existence of the Gate City accelerated the flow of knowledge, but much valuable knowledge was only circulated among small circles. The research on the history of Romulus was even more niche. She didn't expect that Noita was also involved in this.
She whispered to Noita, "Did you also learn about the history of Romulus from the Ceremony of the Heavenly Cup?"
Noita replied with a smile: "I have another source of information."
Realizing that Noita was unwilling to talk about anything deeper, Alona helplessly thought about the story she had just heard.
The conversation between Alona's father and Lily also came to an end.
Later, Alona saw her father and elder brother respectfully escorting Lily out of the main hall with bright smiles on their faces. Even when meeting the tribal leader, Alona had never seen her father smile so warmly and respectfully.
"dad."
Alona whispered, hoping her father would notice her.
When he saw Alona, her father's eyes lit up.
He waved at Alona and said cheerfully, "Come and say hello to your aunt."
"what?"
Alona's eyes widened and she stood up with a bang.
"Oh haha~"
Noita happily lowered her presence and prepared to watch the show carefully.
Alona walked up to her father and looked at Lily, who looked like a sixteen-year-old girl, at a loss. She asked in disbelief, "Is this your aunt? No, she looks younger than me."
Alona's father felt that now was not the time to explain Lily's identity: "The origins are more complicated than you think. Anyway, it's correct to call her that."
This time, her father's expression was unusually serious, and her eldest brother looked helpless, but he also signaled with his eyes that Alona should not do anything bad.
The attitudes of the two made Alona realize that this was not something that could be fooled around, so she could only call out "Auntie" in a low voice.
Lily was very happy. She touched Alona's head and giggled.
"Be good, I heard everything you wanted to do. I will take you on an adventure in the wilderness and make you the greatest adventurer of the tribe."
Lily really enjoyed the feeling of having a descendant. She skipped over to Noita and said with a smile, "So I have a descendant in the settlement too. I was wondering how someone could look so much like me."
Chapter 355 Hello, Jeanne
Lily happily introduced her relationship with the Alona family to the two of them.
She and Alona's grandmother are sisters. After she was sacrificed to the dragon and the magnificent dragon accepted the sacrifice, Alona's family gained an important position in the Goshawk Tribe. Her sister's children were trained by the tribe and joined the tribe's decision-making level after becoming professionals.
Because he accepted the sacrifice, the dragon told the Eagle tribe the location of a piece of fertile land suitable for farming.
The Goshawk Tribe followed the instructions and settled here, beginning their transformation into an agricultural tribe.
Noita asked with great interest, "How old are you, Lily?"
With such a high generation, Lily’s age is worth exploring.
Lily said firmly: "Sixteen!"
The girl's age was a secret, and the ritual she underwent as a sacrifice took a long time for the Grand Dragon to reconstruct her form, giving her an invincible physique.
Lily firmly believes that the time it takes to reshape your body should not be factored into your age.
