Chapter 122 Daily Life. - Today of 4 girls①.
The weather is still sunny.
It was in a certain school, right next to the playground, around the corner of a teaching building...
This is a place where not many people come.
There was a girl surrounded by several other girls here. This was not the first time she was brought here.
One of the leading girls said to the girls who were surrounded, "Hey! We asked you to bring money to school. Did you bring it?"
The girl who was surrounded said weakly to the girls who surrounded her: "I don't have any money..."
Another girl who was surrounding the girl patted the shoulder of the girl she was surrounding and said, "You can take the money from home!"
The girl who was leading the group just now said to the girls who were surrounded, "How can you be so stupid! You can't even do such a small thing?"
Another girl in the crowd nudged the other girl's head and said, "Use your brain!"
The leading girl said to the girls who were surrounded, "We can't protect you like this." Then she turned to her companions and said, "Right?"
The other girls all echoed: Yes.
Just when this girl was surrounded and unable to escape, suddenly a warm voice came from afar outside the sunshine: What are you doing!
"Mingyi!" Wei Qingping woke up from her sleep after a call.
It turned out that Wei Qingping had just had a dream.
The Swordsman King, who had woken up long ago, asked Wei Qingping, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Is it a nightmare? Not really a nightmare..."
The Swordsman King thought to himself, "This little girl must be crazy. This doesn't even make sense..." Then, while he continued to pack his things, he said to Wei Qingping, "You look very confused."
Wei Qingping touched his forehead, lowered his head and said to the Sword Master King: "I'm confused, especially confused."
King Jianhao asked Wei Qingping, "Are you okay? Do you have a fever?"
Wei Qingping replied to the Swordsman King, "Probably not. Maybe I didn't sleep well. I don't know how long I read before I fell asleep last night. I was a little groggy." After saying that, she sat up directly.
King Jianhao took out the rope from the package and said to Wei Qingping, "I'll give it to you. Tie it to the tree when you sleep."
Wei Qingping looked helpless and said to the Swordsman King, "I'm not Little Dragon Girl. I don't have the ability to sleep on a rope."
King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping with a serious face, "No. I told you to tie your sleeping bag to the tree and sleep. The ground is cool!"
Wei Qingping politely declined the Sword Master King's suggestion, saying, "That won't work either. That would mean I'd be sleeping upright, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at all."
The Swordsman King shook his head slightly and said to Wei Qingping, "Well, it's up to you." After that, he stood up and looked around for something useful that he could take away.
Wei Qingping finally regained her composure after a short pause. As she packed her things, she thought back to the nightmare she had just had. A look of worry washed over her face, as she thought, "I wonder how they're doing now..."
Styras Odin, the royal capital, the palace, morning.
As Yang Mingyi walked out of the kitchen, she saw You Jiahui walking up the stairs. It had been over a week since they last saw each other.
Yang Mingyi thought to herself, "What's going on with her? She has to go to the palace to see the king so early..." Thinking of this, she immediately stopped You Jiahui who was walking up the stairs and said, "Jiahui!"
When You Jiahui turned around and saw that it was Yang Mingyi calling her name, she walked down the stairs again and came to Yang Mingyi.
Yang Mingyi said to You Jiahui, "You're here so early..."
But before Yang Mingyi could finish, You Jiahui pinched her chubby cheeks and asked her, "Why are you getting fatter again?"
Yang Mingyi took away You Jiahui's hand and replied to You Jiahui, "It has been like this for several days. It's caused by water." She was not telling the truth. She had gained weight a week ago.
You Jiahui directly "undermined" Yang Mingyi, saying bluntly: "I think you got 'beaten by water', more like that. You're all swollen."
Yang Mingyi became anxious after hearing this. She touched her cheek and said to You Jiahui, "How can it be swollen? You are talking nonsense!"
You Jiahui chuckled inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She said to Yang Mingyi, "I won't talk to you anymore. The king has summoned me. I'm leaving now." Then she walked up the stairs again.
Although Yang Mingyi was curious, she didn't follow You Jiahui to the main hall because she still had to go study magic today. Speaking of magic, besides being an extremely slow learner, she also forgot something Si Jijie had told her earlier, which was quite crucial. But that's just how she is. When she remembers it again, she doesn't know when it will be, and there's nothing she can do.
Let’s put Yang Mingyi’s matter aside for now, we’ll talk about her later.
At this moment, You Jiahui was on her way to the palace to see the king. She had asked Si Jijie several days ago, and Si Jijie had waited until the king had some free time today to tell him that You Jiahui had requested an audience. Therefore, the king had summoned her.
As soon as You Jiahui arrived in the main hall, she was taken to the side hall by the maid again.
When You Jiahui arrived at the side hall, she immediately saluted the king.
As soon as the king saw You Jiahui coming, he immediately said to her, "Miss Knight! I told you last time that you don't have to bow when you come to the side hall. What can I do for you this time?"
You Jiahui looked up and saw only a few guards around the king, but no archmage. A thought flashed through her mind, and she thought, "Even the archmage is not around sometimes..."
You Jiahui stood up and said to the king: "Your Majesty..."
Before You Jiahui started speaking, the king asked the maid to bring a chair for You Jiahui.
Afterwards, You Jiahui chatted with the king about matters within the territory and the difficulties she faced in paying taxes this year. After a conversation with You Jiahui, the king readily agreed to her request. After receiving the permission to "not pay taxes this year," You Jiahui began chatting with the king about other topics.
During the conversation, You Jiahui asked the king, "Your Majesty, have you heard about the 'dragon'?"
The king thought for a moment and told You Jiahui, "Of course I've heard of this. But it's just a legend. No one has ever seen one. In every country, only the nobles have heard of 'dragons'; the common people have never even heard of them. 'Drawings' of dragons are only circulated among the nobility, and the appearance of the dragon in each 'drawing' varies greatly from one person to another."
You Jiahui looked puzzled and asked the king, "Why are their appearances so different?"
The king continued to tell You Jiahui, "Well, it was because the appearance of the dragons in the different 'patterns' was so different that it initially sparked debate among the nobles. But that debate never came to a conclusion, and over time, no one took the 'dragon' seriously anymore."
You Jiahui thought to herself, "That's right. No one has ever seen one, so how can we argue about it?" Then she asked the king, "Then... Your Majesty, do you think dragons exist in this world?"
The king then told You Jiahui, "Well...even if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can't say it doesn't exist. I haven't been to the underground city, but it does exist."
You Jiahui muttered, "That's right. What if I really see it with my own eyes one day?" Then, she thought again, "The president also said that he had seen dragon scales. It seems that the king probably doesn't know about this. I'd better keep it a secret for now..."
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Putoyare, the president of the Merchant Guild, told You Jiahui about the "dragon scales".
Afterwards, You Jiahui chatted with the king about many trivial matters before finally leaving. Before leaving, the king reminded You Jiahui of the matter of learning the language of the other world.
After walking out of the hall, You Jiahui thought to herself, "It's really a bit unreasonable that after becoming a lord, I still don't know the language of another world. I'd better hurry up and learn it..." Thinking of this, she immediately came up with a good idea.
Of course, due to the issue of "face", You Jiahui would never go to Yang Mingyi to learn characters.
That’s about it for You Jiahui this morning, let’s continue with Yang Mingyi’s story.
At this moment, on the other side, Yang Mingyi and two trainee magicians learned magic for a whole morning, and then came to the green plant maze behind the hall.
Following behind, Cortilauea pulled Yang Mingyi aside and asked, "Wait a minute, what are you doing here?"
Li Xingqi looked around and said to Cordelia, "Beyond the labyrinth is the prince and princess's residence. If we don't do that beforehand, it will become what you call 'disrespectful.'"
Cortilauia then asked Yang Mingyi, "Yes, Mingyi. What are you doing here?"
Yang Mingyi told Cortilauea, "I have something to do before lunch. I've forgotten about it for days."
Li Xingqi couldn't help but ask Yang Mingyi, "What's the matter? You're not really here to see the princess, are you?"
Both Cordelia and Li Xingqi knew that Yang Mingyi had a good relationship with the eldest princess, but the two trainee mages were not very familiar with the eldest princess, and it was indeed too rude to suddenly go to the eldest princess's residence.
Yang Mingyi said to the two girls, "Don't worry! We won't be looking for the eldest princess today. And for some reason, the eldest princess has suddenly become very busy."
Cortilauia breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Oh, that's good." Then she asked Yang Mingyi, "So what are you doing here?"
Yang Mingyi told Cortilauea, "Let's find something interesting. Follow me!" After that, she walked into the maze carelessly.
Cordilauia's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately tightened again. She was surprised and said to Yang Mingyi, "Hey! Why did you enter the maze? You won't be able to get out later!"
Cordelia tried to call out to Yang Mingyi, but it was too late; she had already entered the maze. Li Xingqi stared at Yang Mingyi's back for a moment, then followed her into the maze. Cordelia saw that both of her companions had already entered, so she had no choice but to follow suit.
Not long after, Yang Mingyi brought the two girls to the center of the maze.
At this moment, both girls were attracted by a fountain here.
Looking at the spring water gushing upwards, Yang Mingyi scooped some water with her hand and drank it all. Then, she knelt in front of the fountain, clasped her hands together and began to pray.
After watching Yang Mingyi's behavior, Li Xingqi thought it was very interesting and followed Yang Mingyi's example.
Cordelia had no intention of following suit at first, but after drinking a sip of the spring water and looking at her two companions, she felt it would be boring to just stand there and watch, so she ended up praying with them.
Cordelia finished praying to the gods quickly, but when she saw that Yang Mingyi and Li Xingqi didn't move, she thought to herself, "What kind of prayer are they doing? Why does it take so long..." As she thought about it, she stood up.
After waiting for a while, Cordelia grew tired of waiting and quietly asked her two companions, "Have you finished your prayers yet?"
Li Xingqi came to her senses immediately after hearing Cordilauria's words. She opened her eyes and saw Yang Mingyi still praying beside her. She asked Yang Mingyi, "I was just daydreaming. Are you asleep?" After that, she patted Yang Mingyi gently.
Yang Mingyi still had her eyes closed and said to the other two girls, "Don't talk. I'm talking to the water element."
After hearing this, Cortilauea looked puzzled and asked Yang Mingyi, "Huh? Aren't you praying to the gods?"
Li Xingqi suddenly understood and said to Yang Mingyi, "Oh, I see. No wonder you came to find this fountain. Fortunately, elemental worship is not banned."
Cordelia nodded after hearing this, then thought for a moment before asking Yang Mingyi, "That's not right. You're a holy mage, you should be praying to the gods. Why are you engaging in elemental worship?"
Yang Mingyi slowly stood up, muttering, "Oh, yes! I can also pray to the gods, why didn't I think of that!"
Li Xingqi turned to look at Yang Mingyi and asked, "So you're going to church again now, right?"
When Yang Mingyi heard this, she said to the two girls, "Let's go!" After that, she pulled the two girls and was about to leave the maze.
Cordelia grabbed Yang Mingyi and said, "Oh! The church is too far! We still have to get out of the palace!"
Yang Mingyi looked puzzled and asked Cordilauria, "Isn't there one below the main hall?"
Cortilauea told Yang Mingyi, "That's the 'Sacred Hall'! No one is allowed to enter casually!"
Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "But... Mingyi is a Saint Mage, so she should be able to get in."
After hearing what Li Xingqi said, Cordilauria looked back at Yang Mingyi and muttered, "I think so."
Just when they were about to finish their discussion, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
Who is this person? Let’s see the next chapter!
