"This is my gift." With a smile on her face, Wei Ya took out her gift.

Annie took it curiously. It was a box with a stick figure of a Annie painted on the outside.

After opening the box, there were three lollipops inside.

"It's carrot-flavored. I specially ordered it. It's delicious." Wei Ya licked her lips after she finished speaking, obviously she had already tasted it.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Annie smiled happily, as expected, she still likes lollipops the most.

Then the rest gave their presents.

"Here, let's take a look." What HAD sent was a watch, a very delicate watch, with several Swarovski crystals inlaid on the dial, which was bought from the earth.

"Wow, it looks so good." After receiving the gift, Annie unwrapped it the next moment, and was immediately shocked.

I didn't expect that the young master would give me such a precious thing, and it was so beautiful, it was actually inlaid with rhinestones.

Moreover, these crystals look different from the ones that the young master took out before, both in terms of luster and color, they are very beautiful.

The rest of the people were also very surprised, because it was so beautiful, after all, women like those shiny ones.

On the other side of the earth, Swarovski is very attractive to women, and naturally it is even more uncontrollable here.

"It's so beautiful." When Mina saw the watch, her blue eyes sparkled.

Both Catherine and Princess Lucy looked envious, but they couldn't say anything because it wasn't their birthday after all.

"I haven't had time to prepare a gift yet. Let me play a song to wish you a happy birthday." Catherine blushed, picked up the violin beside her a little embarrassedly, and stood up.

"Okay." Annie was very happy, she liked the tone of the violin very much.

Catherine recalled the music score HAD gave herself, and started to play the happy birthday song.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." HAD who was on the side began to sing a cappella, which immediately attracted everyone, and it was very lively.

"Come to make a wish and cut the cake."

Nicole, who had sneaked away, came back, holding a big cake with candles on it, which made everyone's eyes shine.

Catherine and Princess Lucy were very curious. The cake that the beast ear girl kept mentioning turned out to look like this, and it seemed delicious. …

"Hurry up and make a wish." Nicole said with ease. She had already celebrated Mina's birthday last time, so she naturally knew that she had to make a wish before eating the cake.

Annie closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to make a wish. She had already thought about this wish a long time ago, and then the Annie opened her eyes and blew out all the candles in front of her.

"What wish did you make?" Catherine asked curiously, this was the first time she had seen such a ceremony.

"You can't say it, or it won't work." Annie glanced at HAD, and then blushed.

The faces of the rest of the people all looked like you understand, I understand, everyone understands, which made Hu Erniang even more embarrassed.

"Okay, let's cut the cake." HAD touched his nose, coughed, then picked up a knife, and divided the cake into several portions.

"Hmm~ It's delicious and sweet." Catherine took a bite of the cake, her eyes lit up immediately, and the taste buds on her tongue told her that she liked it very much.

The same is true for Princess Lucy, who was overwhelmed by the delicacy of the cake.

Everyone went back and forth and settled the cakes that they had shared. HAD went back to the study first, and there were still some things that he needed to deal with.

Seeing Chu Chen leave, Catherine hesitated for a moment, got up and chased after 2.7.

Seeing this, Princess Lucy also went to HAD's study.

When she came to HAD's study, Catherine still hesitated, pursed her lips, then took a deep breath, and knocked on the study door.

"Boom bang bang..."

After obtaining HAD's permission, Catherine opened the door and went in. She saw HAD sitting on a chair at a glance, as if reading some letters.

"Catherine, what's the matter?" HAD put down the letter in his hand and looked at the person who came, with no surprise on his face.

"HAD, I want to go see my father." Catherine lowered her head, not daring to meet HAD's eyes.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

".".

Chapter 0769 the aggrieved fourth prince.

"Yes." HAD smiled gently.

Catherine, who was about to accept the rejected request, was taken aback for a moment, and the bitter expression on her face turned into astonishment. She didn't expect HAD to agree so readily.

"Really, is it really okay?" Catherine raised her head and looked at HAD, her eyes were a little moist.

With the passage of time, the hatred has diminished a lot, and today I feel emotional when I think of Kerak's kindness to her, even if it is purposeful, women are sentimental.

"It's nothing, you should go and see, after all, he is your father." HAD stood up, came to Catherine, and handed her a handkerchief.

"Thank you!" Catherine took the handkerchief HAD handed over, and lowered her head to wipe away the tears that were about to fall.

Yes, Kerak and Tove were her relatives after all, and although they treated her as goods and chips, they still brought her up.

Women are all emotional, and when they are alone, they will end up thinking wildly.

"Go and prepare." HAD smiled gently.

"En!" Catherine nodded softly, and 03 left the study with a handkerchief.

"Gag..."

After leaving the study, Catherine met Lucy. In fact, Princess Lucy had been here for a while, but Catherine was talking about that kind of thing with HAD, so she didn't want to go in and disturb her.

Seeing Catherine coming out now, Princess Lucy immediately said a few words of comfort, "Are you all right?"

"Are you also looking for Mrs. HAD?" Catherine shook her head, her mood has improved a lot, she looked at Princess Lucy curiously, unexpectedly she also came to look for HAD.

"Yes." Princess Lucy nodded.

"For the fourth prince?" Catherine could probably guess the purpose of Princess Lucy's visit this time.

"Well, I heard that HAD arranged a job for him, I want to go and have a look." Princess Lucy had a faint smile on her face.

Catherine nodded. She knew what the fourth prince had done. She heard that HAD had treated the fourth prince very well. At least he hadn't been imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

Afterwards, Catherine and Lucy bid farewell. It was already dark now, and they had to wait until tomorrow to go to the Security Department.

Kerak and Tove are still held there.

"Boom bang bang..."

Princess Lucy stood outside the door for a while, then knocked on the door, and opened the door to enter after receiving the same response. She was afraid of causing some misunderstandings.

"Come in." HAD obviously knew that Princess Lucy was outside and was waiting for her. After all, the voices of the two talking outside could be heard clearly with HAD's current hearing.

"Gag..."

Princess Lucy walked in, pursed her lips and looked at HAD.

"Lucy, what's the matter?" HAD asked pretendingly.

"Ding Keda is doing some work, I want to go and see, can you?" Princess Lucy had an embarrassed look on her face, but she didn't lower her head, but looked directly at HAD.

"No problem, the things I arranged for him are not onerous." HAD's mouth curled up, and his tone was very gentle.

Of course it wasn't heavy, because the errand HAD arranged for him was just sticking matchboxes. Compared with those knights who were sent to mine, it was quite an easy job.

"Thank you." Princess Lucy said in a deep voice.

For Lucy, the eldest prince was the one she hated the most. After all, he was the one who killed her father, but she didn't hate the fourth prince that much.

"It's nothing." HAD chuckled lightly and didn't care.

Then Princess Lucy also left.

"..." HAD looked at the closed door and shook his head. He didn't care about such trivial matters at all. It's better to be affectionate than ruthless.

It is equivalent to the death of the family dog, and people occasionally think of it. After all, they have been together before, and the nostalgia will only fade with time.

Today's Annie's birthday made the two of them feel sad. Catherine and Lucy had such a kind of thought, or they left the place where they grew up, and they missed something for a while, and subconsciously went to familiar people to talk to them. Remember things.

The hatred will also decrease, and eventually become a strange feeling.

He then picked up the letter on the table and read it again.

This letter was sent by Annie's sister Elsa from the place of chaos. It contained some recent news about the second prince, as well as greetings to her sister.

"It seems that the second prince can't sit still." HAD put down the letter, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He still had some understanding of the situation in the east.

But right now he doesn't plan to get involved. Now let's digest the land to the west first, let the first prince fight with the second prince.

The time will not be short, and he will also fully intervene.

The next morning, around eight o'clock.

Early in the morning, Princess Lucy came to a workshop located in the south of Sheba City. There is a courtyard here, where people who have committed crimes live, and the fourth prince lives here.

The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and there were knights guarding the gate, while on the fence of the courtyard, there were circles of thorn wires to prevent anyone from escaping.

In the courtyard, the fat body of the fourth prince Ding Keda was sitting on a chair. In front of him were pieces of cut cardboard. This is the new paper newly developed by the scientific research department, which is suitable for Pack something breakable.

On the other side, there are rectangular cartons. The cartons are not big, only two 310 fingers wide.

These cartons are glued out of that hard paper, using some kind of gum developed by the scientific research department.

This is an off-white, sticky substance, and the raw material is extracted from the juice flowing from a special ancient wood in the secluded mountains.

And these small boxes were intended to be used by HAD to hold matches.

That's right, it's matches. Now that we have saltpeter and sulfur, it's not difficult to make matches.

Matches will greatly improve the convenience for the residents of Sheba City. After all, lighting a fire and cooking is not a simple matter now. With matches, it will be much more convenient.

"Damn HAD, you actually came to let me do these handicrafts." The fourth prince Ding Keda cursed, but he didn't dare to slow down the movements of his hands. After all, it was related to whether he could have dinner tonight.

Yes, only if the matchbox he made reaches the goal set by HAD, can he have food, otherwise he will only be hungry.

Ding Keda, who was in trouble at first, refused. The dignified fourth prince had to rely on his own labor in exchange for food, which made it difficult for him to accept.

But after being hungry a few times, he could only obediently do it himself, because no one here treats him like a fourth prince.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

".".

Chapter 0770 The first generation of steam cars.

"Damn it, damn it." The fourth prince Ding Keda still said unforgivingly, but his hand speed is not slow. This is the hand speed he has practiced in the past few days. After all, if he is slow, it means that he cannot complete the goal.

In the courtyard, there were not only Ding Keda, but also other people, but they were all working hard, and no one had time to talk to each other.

Outside the courtyard, Princess Lucy stood still in front of the gate and took out the token given by HAD. The knight guarding the gate opened the gate and let Lucy in after seeing it.

HAD had already given an order that only people with tokens could enter, otherwise no matter who came, they would not be able to enter.

Princess Lucy took a deep breath, and then walked in, but beside her, there was a knight following, and with a bang sound behind her, the door was closed again.

The sound of the door closing successfully attracted the fourth prince's attention.

He raised his head, thinking it was the food delivery person, but he saw his younger sister, and a smile appeared on his face.

Ding Keda stood up hurriedly, staggered to Princess Lucy, and said excitedly, "I knew you would come to save me, hurry up, take me out of this damn place."

Ding Keda looked at Lucy very excitedly, and reached out to grab Lucy's hand. He thought that his sister, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was here to save him.

After all, based on everything he knew, his younger sister seemed to have a good relationship with HAD.

There was a trace of resistance on Lucy's face, and before Ding Keda grabbed Lucy's hand, the knight next to him pinched his wrist.

"Be honest." The knight had obviously received an order to protect Princess Lucy's safety.

"Boldly, let me go, do you know who I am? Lucy, you don't care about your subordinates." The fourth prince had a look of shock on his face, and then he was angry. He roared at the knight, then looked at Lucy, his face There is a domineering color on the face.

"I just came to see you, and there is no other meaning' '." Lucy said coldly, looking at the small boxes behind Ding Keda.

She originally thought that after being imprisoned for so long, there would be some changes, but now it seems that the mud can't support the wall.

"What do you mean? Lucy, you didn't come to rescue me?" Ding Keda's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

He is stupid, he is not here to take him out of here, he is a prince!It's fine if you shut it down for a while, but should you keep shutting it down forever?

"It's all your fault for getting to this point today. It's good that HAD didn't kill you." Lucy said indifferently.

As soon as the words fell, Lucy turned around and left. Although she wanted to see what those small boxes were going to be used for, she didn't want to stay for a moment at this moment.

As expected, she still hated these so-called elder brothers very much. She thought that something had changed, but it seemed that she was thinking too much.

"Stop, don't forget, you are the princess of the capital of Yingluo, and your brother is being imprisoned here, and you don't save me, but you are still in collusion with HAD." The fourth prince roared.

He shook his fat body, trying to catch up with Lucy, but was directly knocked to the ground by the knight beside him.

"Let me go, let me go out..."

"Lucy, take me away, take me away!!"

The fourth prince shouted hysterically.

"Snapped!!"

"Shut up!"

"..."

"Princess, this identity is indeed useful." Lucy said to herself.

She didn't forget that she said before that she would help HAD fight against the eldest prince, and even if HAD was willing, why not let him sit on the throne.

As for my so-called elder brother, let him fend for himself here.

She knew that if it wasn't for her, Ding Keda would be sent directly to mine by HAD. Now as long as he is honest and completes the tasks every day, he will not starve to death. For him, it is the best ending .

...

Early in the morning, the scientific research department sent news. HAD, who had had breakfast, was going to the scientific research department. He heard that Yili had a new work. If there is no accident, that thing has made progress.

So after breakfast, HAD took Mina out.

After getting into the carriage, Mina asked curiously, "Master, could it be that the train was researched?"

"Probably not, it is very likely that the steam car has made progress." HAD guessed that the train may not be so fast with the current technology.

"Cars?" Mina had a puzzled look on her face. What kind of new thing is this?

"Go and have a look and you'll know. I hope you won't disappoint me!" HAD chuckled. He gave Yakuza the blueprint of the steam car before, so there must be some progress now.

Steam engine cars, since he found those special fruits, he has put steam engine cars on the research agenda, which is no worse than trains.

Moreover, with the creation of steam engines before, it is very simple to remodel them into steam engine cars. The difficulty is refinement and power.

Mina nodded, and soon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the scientific research department. Mina and HAD got out of the car and walked straight to the Steam Research Institute, where steam engines and steam trains are studied.

Before reaching the door, he saw the dwarf Yili waiting at the door. After seeing HAD, there was excitement on his face.

"｀ ~Lord HAD." Yili saluted, with a look of pride on his face.

"It seems that there should be a lot of progress. It's a steam car." HAD waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes." Yili was stunned. HAD was notified of the steam car after passing the test in the morning. He didn't expect to be guessed before he even said what it was.

"Take me to take a look." HAD had a look of excitement on his face. He missed the car very much. It would be really cool if he could ride in a car in another world.

"This way." Yili nodded, leading the way.

Soon, they came to a small open square, where Yali usually used to conduct large-scale experiments.

In the center of the small square, there is a four-wheeled wooden cart at this time. In front of the cart, there is an iron closed large cylinder, which is a steam engine, which is used to drive the whole car.

This steam engine car is very simple, just a wooden cart with a steam engine, and the wheels are made of wood.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 0771 Alien version of the foot brake.

"This is a steam car?" Chu Chen looked at the crude cart in front of him, and the corner of his eye twitched.

But it's also true, it hasn't been long since I gave Yili the blueprint, and it's already quite remarkable to be able to research it initially, but this car looks so strange, it feels like it will fall apart at any time.

There is only a long bench on the cart, plus a steam engine, and a rocker. I don't know what it is for. These are all of this steam car.

The entire steam car appears to be three meters long and nearly two meters high.

Because new fuel is used, the battery life can reach two hours.

Two hours is enough for the current stay in Sheba City. Of course, if you want to stay away from Sheba City by car, you have to carry fuel with you.

The new fuel is naturally the black fruits that Leya brought back from the depths of the quiet mountains. After extracting the liquid from the fruits, they can burn for two hours when ignited.

It is the best new fuel at present, otherwise, if relying on ordinary fuel, the battery life of this steam car may be very short.

"My lord, I'll take a test." Yili said, and then walked towards the steam car.

With the help of the assistant 820, Yili got into the car together and sat on the bench.

The assistant's name is Ward, who was recruited by Yili to help him. He is a veteran who is in his prime of life, but he is a little lame when he walks.

He was unfortunately injured in the battle with the fourth prince. Because the injury was serious, after healed, he couldn't participate in those high-intensity training and missions, so he had no choice but to leave the army.

After retiring from the army, I arranged to come here to help Yakuza.

Of course, he had been thoroughly investigated and assessed before coming to ensure that he would not divulge what he saw here before he could be qualified for his position.

HAD and Mina stepped aside, wanting to see what the steam car looks like when it drives.

"Buzzing..."

The new fuel in the steam engine was burned, and the water was burned to produce water vapor. Soon the steam engine was started, and the whole steam car began to shake, which made HAD's brows tremble even more, for fear that the steam car would It fell apart.

Apparently, Yili was used to this phenomenon, and the two cooperated very tacitly. The dwarf Yili turned the rocker, and the steam car moved forward slowly.

This scene immediately stunned everyone present, the useless cows and horses actually started to move.

"Wow! It's moving, master, is this magic?" Mina said in shock.

"Of course not, this is the power of science." HAD smiled lightly, his eyes sparkling brightly.

HAD felt a little excited. Being able to walk proved that steam cars are feasible. Although they are completely incomparable with those cars on the earth, they are still a kind of progress.

Mina looked shocked. It was the first time she saw a cart without a horse, and she started to move by herself.

Then she chased the steam car, and Mina was very fast, and she was on the same level as the steam car in a short while.

"It seems that the speed is still a bit slow!" Yili was on the steam car, looking at Mina who was running together, feeling a little regretful.

"Try to turn around." HAD shouted from the side.

Now the dwarf Yali was a little at a loss, and shouted loudly: "My lord, this car can't turn, it can only go straight!"

"..." The corners of HAD's eyes twitched again, and he could only walk in a straight line?

Then this limitation is very large, it seems that it still needs to be improved, and the technical accumulation is still too little.

"Stop!" HAD watched the steam car drive farther and farther, and hurriedly called to stop.

"Okay!" Yakuza on the steam car nodded, and then said to Ward beside him, "Brake."

"Yes." Ward nodded, then moved his body towards the edge of the steam car, and stretched out a foot.

Seeing this scene, HAD seemed to have foreseen what the next scene would be (aech). He reached out his hand and pressed his temple helplessly, and the corner of his mouth twitched. If he guessed right, the next step should be the legendary foot brake .

Sure enough, Ward leaned out half of his body, then stretched out his uninjured foot, stepped on the ground, and followed the steam car forward.

The soles of the feet were rubbing against the ground, and the shoes on Ward's feet were thicker, specially designed for braking.

"Wow! That's amazing."

Although the scene is very funny, it is also amazing.

Mina ran aside and watched, her eyes widened. This was the first time she had seen this kind of operation. It turned out that a carriage without a horse had to be stopped in this way.

As Yili deflated the steam engine, with Ward's "foot brake", the steam car stopped slowly.

"It seems that this car can't be driven yet. There are too many main parts missing." HAD was a little speechless not far away, and then walked over.

"My lord, please give me some advice?" Yili's face was a little uneasy. This was his first time building something.

"It's not bad. It's already very good to be able to do this for the first time." HAD nodded. He didn't intend to hit him. It's already very good that the first car can do this.

"Hey..." Yili smiled honestly.

"There are other parts that need to be produced quickly. This body should be replaced with steel." HAD looked at the crude steam body.

Next, you only need to research the steering gear, shock absorbers, and alternatives to the wheels, and the speed will be much faster.

Now the wooden wheels are used, so the driving is so unstable and the speed is not fast.

For HAD, the real difficulty is rubber, or finding a substitute for rubber, otherwise the wheel would not be able to be made.

"Yes, my lord." Yali said respectfully, it was his first time experimenting with the running of a steam locomotive, so that he could make further improvements.

For example, how the steam car turns and how the brakes are braked are all in the blueprints, and he has thought about them, but after all, they are all things on the blueprints, and he will not know what they look like until they are manufactured.

"Now you can study steam cars first, and trains can be released first. When the real car is built, the train will not be difficult for you then." HAD patted Yili on the shoulder and said.

"Yes!" Yili nodded, he also intended to do so.

Before studying steam trains, he fell into a dead end. It was too difficult to start from scratch, even with blueprints. Now researching steam cars has allowed him to find some breakthroughs.

After the steam car is fully built, perhaps the advent of the train is not far away.

Chapter 0772 shot to the wall.

...

At ten o'clock in the morning, in Sheba City, in front of the security department.

Catherine has been standing here after breakfast, and whenever she thinks of going to see her father, there is a slight resistance in her heart.

It reminded her of her father's experience of using herself as a bargaining chip. Although she hated it, Kerak was still her father after all.

As if she had made up her mind, Catherine walked into the Security Division with the token given by HAD. After checking the token, she was taken to the depths of the Security Division.

Here, there is a large prison where the important criminals are held, and Kerak and Tove are held here.

Catherine followed the knight leading the way to the innermost part.

It was very dark and damp here, only the faint flame flickering on the wall, which was the flame from the oil lamp.

"Miss Catherine, it's just ahead." The knight who led the way stopped and pointed to the passage ahead, the deepest cell.

"Thank you." Catherine nodded slightly, and then walked forward by herself.

She knew that the knight wanted to leave some space so that she could be alone with her father for a while.

"Let me out quickly, bold HAD, my father is the Grand Duke, and it is a felony to imprison us."

Before anyone saw him, Catherine heard Tove roaring, which made her frown slowly.

Catherine slowly came to the cell where Kerak and Tove were held, and looked inside with the help of the dim light.

In the cell, Kerak was leaning against the wall with his head down, while Tove was lying flat on the ground, roaring some ugly words.

Catherine's arrival blocked some of the light, and Tove, who was lying on the ground, noticed it. He suddenly got up and looked outside the cell.

Although the light was dim, he still recognized Catherine at a glance.

Tove got up and lay directly on the cell door, shouting loudly: "Catherine, is that you Catherine?"

Tove's voice woke up Kerak who was recuperating with his eyes closed. He raised his head and also looked at the invisible face outside the door, only a general figure could be seen.

"It's me." Catherine's voice trembled a little, and she couldn't hear it unless she listened carefully.

"You must have pleaded with HAD, you want to let us out, right?" Tove seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and reached out to grab Catherine, but his hand was too short to reach it at all.

"I..." Catherine suddenly didn't know how to speak, and looked into the eyes of Tove and Kerak.

After being silent for a while, Catherine took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "What do you think HAD will do about what you have done before?"

"Didn't you come to let us out? Then what are you doing here? Are you here to see our jokes?" Tove put down his outstretched hand and stared at Catherine.

"I just came to see how you are doing." Catherine calmed down her inner emotions and tried to keep her voice as steady as possible.

"You're all in prison, how can you live well? Catherine, I think you just came to see our jokes."

Tove pointed at Catherine and yelled angrily: "Even my father was sent to prison, and he didn't intercede for us. Is he really going to watch us and be sent to mine?"

During the days he stayed in the dungeon, he heard a lot of what the prisoners said. At most, he heard that those who committed serious crimes would be sent to mines.

"I..." Catherine didn't know what to say.

Facing the two close relatives wearing prison uniforms in the prison, Catherine had the urge to turn around and leave.

Seeing that Catherine didn't speak, Tove waved his hands, wanting to say something else.

"To shut up."

Before Tove could speak, Kerak interrupted Tove angrily.

"..." Tove was stunned by Kerak's voice. He was always afraid of his father, even if he was put in prison, it would not change this fact.

"Ta Tata..."

Kerak slowly got up and came to the prison door. Through the gap of the prison door, he looked at Catherine outside, with apology in his eyes.

Kerak suddenly said in a deep voice, "Catherine, it is father who is sorry for you."

These words immediately made Catherine's body tremble. She did not expect to hear such a sentence from her father this time.

Not only Catherine, but even Tove, since he was a child, this was the first time he heard his father apologize.

"..." Catherine opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, her heart was already in a mess.

Seeing that Catherine did not speak, Karak continued: "HAD should be very kind to you."

Catherine nodded. During the period in Sheba City, she was the happiest when she grew up.

"Yes, I knew it when I saw your smile on the stage that day." Kerak said with self-deprecation.

Thinking of Catherine being raised by me as a commodity since she was a child, which led to this situation today, it is her own fault.

He thought too much in the dungeon. After falling from a high place, everything was knocked back to the original point, and he thought more about things that he had never thought of.

Perhaps, it is knowing that the pursuit of power is hopeless, but it makes people think about it.

"I don't expect you to forgive me, but from now on, I hope you can live happily." Kerak seemed to have found out his conscience, and said such words to Catherine.

Catherine couldn't bear it anymore, she lowered her head, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she choked up silently.

For a while...

Catherine raised her head and said suddenly, "I heard that the fourth prince was arranged in a courtyard to do some handicrafts. I will go and intercede with HAD and let you go and accompany the fourth prince."

In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and watched her father being sent to a dark mine to mine.

... 0

"Haha..." Kerak laughed suddenly. He was already very satisfied with the result. This result was enough to prove that his daughter still had her own father in her heart.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with going to the mine to dig, doing manual work is much easier.

Catherine stared blankly at the smile on her father's face, then turned and walked out. She was smart, and whether it was true or not, at least she felt at ease.

"Tell HAD to be careful with the eldest prince." Kerak's voice came from behind.

"Tap..."

Catherine paused for a moment, then continued to walk outside.

The knight who had been waiting for a long time glanced at the prison cell in the depths, and then slowly closed the passage door, which was the second protection of the prison. Even if the cell door inside was broken, no one could leave the prison.

"Zheng!!"

The door is locked.

Seeing that Catherine was gone, Tove carefully asked Kerak, "Father, why did you remind HAD to be careful of the eldest prince?"

"If HAD loses and we fall into the hands of the eldest prince, we will end up with a dead end." Kerak looked at his son who was so muddy that he couldn't support the wall, and sighed in his heart, regretting why he didn't shoot him against the wall. go up.

Now at least in the hands of HAD, they can survive. In the hands of the eldest prince, with Lucia's ruthless character and their previous betrayal, they will never be spared.

After all, the eldest prince is a ruthless person who dares to murder his own father.

Chapter 0773 Do things.

"Wow...wow..."

In the Kingdom of Aoli Dwarves, on the Youshuizhi River, a 50-meter large boat is slowly moving forward.

Mira, Darlene, and Eliza were standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the horizon ahead.

"How long will it take to reach the capital of Aoli~" Mira lay on the side of the boat, she was almost tired of staying on the boat.

Her wings are fully grown, and although she can fly out from time to time to get some air, she doesn't dare to fly too far, after all, she is in the kingdom of Aoli dwarves.

"According to the route provided by Yili, and at the speed of our big ship, we will reach the capital of Aoli in about two hours." Darlene's blue eyes flickered, looking at the bored Mira, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Smile.

It has been more than a month and a half since the ship set off from Sheba City. She began to miss the life in Sheba City, but she was also excited. vision.

She didn't know if she could complete the task this time. After all, what she wanted was the iron ore of the Aoli dwarves, which was related to the development of Sheba City.

After all, the current Sheba City needs a lot of iron, whether it is the equipment of soldiers or the construction of the city wall, and the rich iron mines of the Aoli Kingdom are exactly what Sheba City needs.

In any case, this time we must win the iron ore export cooperation of Aoli Wangdu.

Eliza pulled a strand of white hair on her forehead behind her ears, revealing her delicate elf ears, and then said softly, "There are still two hours, bear with me, it's almost here."

"Okay, I'll go up and have a look." Mira straightened up, nodded helplessly, then flew up with wings and stood on the pole of the boat.

This scene made everyone below envious, having wings is self-willed.

Two hours passed quickly, and Mira, who was sitting on the pole of the boat, stood up suddenly, and a black building appeared on the horizon in front of her left, which shocked her spirits.

"Here we are, I saw King Aoli." Mira shouted loudly, and then she spread her wings and landed on the deck.

The rest of the people were shocked when they heard the words. After sailing for such a long time, no one could stand it anymore. Now that they finally arrived at the destination, they raised their spirits one by one.

The speed of the big ship began to slow down. After all, this time it came with good intentions, and it should not rush too fast, so as not to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

The big ship began to approach the port slowly. Sure enough, the dwarves are all masters of casting. You can tell from the buildings of the port that it is far better than the ports seen in other cities. Of course, it is still not as good as the port in Sheba City.

The port of Aoli King's Capital is very large, and it is all made of stone bricks. There are many ships on the port, at least three hundred, and there are many human races on the port. They are supervising the handling of goods, but the most are A little dwarf.

"Wow! This boat is so big!!"

The dwarves in the port had already exclaimed and were very surprised when they saw such a big ship.

Large ships of 50 meters are not often seen, which makes the dwarf knights in charge of guarding the port alert.

"Sail down! Sail down!"

"Anchor! Anchor!"

The shouts of the boatman sounded, and the huge anchor sank to the bottom of the river, splashing huge water.

"Let's go!" Darlene said softly, looking ahead at Aoli King's Capital, the confrontation belonging to the merchants was about to begin.

Soon, the three of Darlene disembarked with more than a dozen soldiers, and seven or eight boatmen, each holding a box in their hands, which contained the goods that were to be used as chips this time.

"Excuse me, is your Excellency?" A dwarf knight stepped forward to ask, and they had to be vigilant.

Just by looking at the fine steel armor worn by these human knights, one can already tell that the opponent has a different origin, perhaps an envoy of some great country.

　But I was also very puzzled, and I hadn't received any news during this period that an envoy from a major country was coming.

"We are merchants from Sheba City in the Kingdom of Yingluo. This is our customs clearance certificate." Darlene stepped forward, took out the customs clearance parchment scroll she had obtained at the border, and handed it to the dwarf knight.

The dwarf knight took it over, checked it, and found that there was no problem.

"We need to check the items. If there is nothing wrong, we can go into the city." The dwarf knight returned the customs clearance parchment to Darlene, and after obtaining approval, he stepped forward to check the items in the box one by one.

Human race businessmen come to the capital every day to do business, but this time they came in a 50-meter boat, which made them a lot nervous.

The dwarf knight finally found no problem, Darlene and her party were let go.

There was no one blocking the way, especially seeing more than a dozen soldiers in steel armor, Darlene and the others were also very gorgeously dressed, and they all thought that the other party was some kind of big shot.

Darlene and the others successfully entered the capital of the Aoli Dwarves after paying the ship fee and the city entry fee.

"This is the capital of Aoli Kingdom!" Mira looked at the houses in front of her. …

The houses are patchwork, the houses are not high, they are very short, and the streets are not spacious, they are completely incomparable with Sheba City.

"It's not as good as Sheba City." Eliza said silently.

Yes, the Aoli Dwarf King's City is not very good compared to the environment of Sheba City, but compared to other cities, it is quite good.At least there is no feces visible everywhere, and the disgusting sour smell.

"I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of people in King Aoli." Darlene sighed.Walking on the road, looking down at the walking dwarves, she thought she was a giant.

"I'm so hungry, let's eat something first." Mira glanced around vigilantly.

"Okay, find a better place, someone will come to us soon." Darlene smiled lightly.

Both Eliza and Mira nodded. Their arrival, and perhaps what happened at the border port, must have reached the ears of the local nobles. With their alcoholic personality, the dwarves will definitely come to their door.

After asking passers-by, everyone came to the largest tavern in the capital of Aoli: the Hammer Tavern.

The Hammer Tavern is the best tavern in the capital of the Aoli Dwarves. The wine inside is the best and the largest tavern in the Dwarf Kingdom. It can also be regarded as a tavern that can receive humans. Outside the Aoli dwarf palace, there are very few houses that are suitable for humans to live in.

The staff at the Hammer Tavern saw the clothes Darlene and the others were wearing, and they didn't dare to slack off. They thought they were big shots, and enthusiastically welcomed everyone in 4.7.

Just got seated.

Darlene waved her hand and said in a wealthy manner, "Give me a share of your signboards."

"Yes, I'll be right here." The dwarf buddy nodded quickly when he heard that, and withdrew with a flattering smile.

"Will it be too eye-catching?" Mira asked quietly, her green eyes scanned the surroundings, and many people had already noticed them.

"It's just a strategy, it's supposed to attract the attention of those nobles." Darlene said with a faint smile.

She took out a bottle of Youhe Daqu and three crystal clear glasses from the box she brought.

"..." Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, she knew that Darlene was going to make trouble.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

" .".

Chapter 0774 Dwarf Muller.

"hiss..."

As soon as the glasses were taken out, the people around gasped and stared blankly at the three crystal clear glasses with fiery eyes.

The Hammer Tavern served the food very quickly. After a while, all the dishes were served, and three bottles of wine were served together.

The guy stared at the three crystal clear wine glasses on the table, his proud face was stunned, and he couldn't say any boastful words.

"What kind of wine is this?" Darlene asked indifferently. The wine in the Hammer Tavern is bottled in gray ceramic bottles, which are much better than the bottles used by many wines in the Kingdom of Yingluo.

"It's called Fragrant Ale, and it's the signature drink of our Hammer Tavern." When the guy mentioned the wine, his face suddenly became smug.

"Oh, you have to taste it." Darlene replied disapprovingly.

The guy had very sharp eyesight, and after seeing Darlene's expression, he asked quickly, "It should be the first time for you to come to our Hammer Tavern."

"Yes, this is my first time in your land." Darlene nodded.

"Hey...several distinguished guests, our fragrant ale here is famous in the whole Aoli Kingdom. If you don't believe me, you can try it." The waiter said politely, his words were full of confidence and arrogance.

"Oh? Is it really so delicious?" Darlene asked pretending to be surprised, but she was secretly laughing.

"Even the royal family likes to drink the fragrant ale in our Hammer Tavern." The man said proudly and confidently, "You will know after you try it."

"Then I really have to give it a try." Eliza said softly.

"I'll pour wine for the honored guests." The waiter swiftly opened the wine cork and filled the three wine bowls brought up, and soon, the aroma of Mai Xiang's wine spread more and more.

The three women looked at each other, the wine was indeed very fragrant, but compared with Youhe Daqu and Zhutong wine, this fragrant ale was still not up to par.

"Let me try." Eliza picked up the wine bowl, and poured the fragrant ale into her mouth. Suddenly, a bitter and pungent taste spread from her throat to her abdomen. Afterwards, her mouth had a faint aroma of wheat, but it was a bit bitter.

Darlene and Mira looked at the elf's slightly frowning brows, and immediately felt relieved.

Eliza shook her head slowly, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she said with a little disappointment: "This wine is better than the ones I drank in other cities."

Mira on the side looked at her nose, nose, mouth, and heart. She suppressed a smile, and she already guessed what would happen next.

"Ta Tata..."

"This beautiful lady, it seems that from your expression, this wine is not very satisfactory to you."

At this time, a voice sounded, and a young dwarf came over and came in front of the three of Elisa.

The three of Eliza looked at the person curiously, but did not find any hostility from the other person, so they relaxed a little.

"You are?" Darlene asked coldly.

"My name is Muller, hello, beautiful ladies." The young dwarf looked very graceful.

"He is the eldest son of the Mu family and the owner of the Hammer Tavern. I heard that he has been made a Viscount."

"Yes, he was named a viscount at a young age, and he has a bright future."

"It's not because the Mu family holds the most iron ore."

"..."

Some diners around were secretly discussing, but their words were not whispered, which was also heard by Darlene and the others. They looked at each other calmly, and sure enough, the Muller in front of them was their target.

The place where wine attracts the most attention is in the tavern. They didn't expect to attract the target person when they first arrived.

"We've had better wine than this." Eliza put down the wine bowl with a faint smile.

"Oh?" Mu Le raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "This fragrant ale is already one of the best wines in the human race. Even other kinds of wine may not be better than wheat fragrant wine."

Dwarves like spirits, but for several other wines of the same level, dwarves still prefer malt wine, personal preferences are different.

"Why don't you come and taste the wine I brought?" Darlene raised her hand to signal, and Cas, who was standing behind her, stepped forward and opened a bottle of Youhe Daqu neatly.

Immediately, the refreshing aroma of wine overflowed, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern.

She was still thinking about how to find an excuse to open the scene, but she didn't expect someone to come up to 'cooperate' immediately.

"Gollum..."

The tavern was suddenly quiet, and Eliza could clearly hear a lot of drooling.

Especially Mu Le, whose eyes were fixed on the opened bottle of Youhe Daqu.

With a triumphant smile on the corner of Cast's mouth, he filled the three glasses in front of Youhe Daqu.

"This..." Mu Le discovered that the wine was filled with a high-quality clay pot, and what was even more surprising was that the drinking cup turned out to be a glass cup. What a luxury at this time.

One must know that such crystal clear glass cups can only be seen in the Duke's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

"That's a glass cup, it's actually used to hold wine."

"Too extravagant."

"..."

The people around stared at the three cups with wide eyes.

Darlene looked at Mu Le, who was swallowing saliva, and said with a chuckle, "Try."

"..." Mu Le was a little hesitant, not only because of the wine, but also because of the mysterious identity of the other party. The person who can produce the glass cup and this kind of fine wine should not have a simple background.

Could it be the princess of a certain country?

Darlene knew that the other party had scruples, so she picked up the wine in front of her, took another sip gracefully, and at the same time showed a satisfied and enjoying expression on her face.

"Please!" Darlene pushed the glass of wine in front of 837 to Mu Le, and signaled again.

This time Muller just hesitated for a moment. He couldn't help the aroma of the wine was too tempting. After taking the glass, he held it carefully, smelling the aroma of the wine carefully, and then couldn't help but sip it.

"Good wine, I've never had such a delicious wine." Mueller's eyes widened and he exclaimed again and again.

"How does my wine compare to this fragrant ale?" Darlene chuckled lightly, with arrogance on her face, and she had to show it when it was time to show it.

"Okay, it's so much better. After drinking this wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the fragrant ale in the future." Mu Le laughed loudly, and then looked at the Kaifeng fragrant ale, feeling a little disgusted.

And the tavern guy at the side was already stunned. Is this wine really that delicious?But just smelling the smell is really very tempting.

"Please sit down." Darlene said at this time.

"Okay." Mueller chuckled and sat down.

Looking at Mu Le who was sitting down, Darlene signaled Cast to get another glass of wine. After all, Mu Le's eyes never left the wine bottle of Youhe Daqu.

"Thank you!" Mueller said quickly, and then drank it down, admiring, "Good wine, what is it called?"

"Youhe Daqu." Darlene said flatly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 0775 playing hard to get.

A trace of doubt flashed across Mu Le's face, and then he said a little embarrassedly, "Youhe Daqu? To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've heard the name of this wine."

He thinks he has drunk a lot of good wine, and he has also drank some wine that is not inferior to fragrant ale, but he has never heard of a good wine called Youhe Daqu.

The most important thing is that this Youhe Daqu is much better than all the wines I have drunk before.

Darlene chuckled, and said, "This is a specialty product from Sheba City, Kingdom of Yingluo. The wine has just been brewed and hasn't been widely spread yet."

"The Kingdom of Yingluo, Sheba City?" The dwarf Mu Le's eyes flickered calmly.

"If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Sheba City for a walk, it will surprise you." Darlene had a slight smile on her face, and her blue eyes were shining with yearning. She missed Sheba City a little bit.

"Since there are such fine wines there, I have to go and see for myself when I have the opportunity." Mu Le nodded, and began to pay attention to this matter.

"There are not only good wines, but also all kinds of delicacies, and there are many strange and interesting things, which cannot be seen elsewhere." Darlene smiled lightly.

"I haven't asked Miss's name yet." Mu Le asked suddenly.

"Dalena, these two are Eliza and Mila." Darlene introduced a few of them briefly with her ladylike appearance.

"Huh la la..." Cass refilled the empty wine glass with discernment.

"Thank you." Mousse stared at the wine in front of him, took a sip, and continued, "Ms. Darlene, from your tone, it seems that you are very familiar with this Sheba City!"

"To tell you the truth, we are from Sheba City." Darlene chuckled, and took a sip of the wine in front of her, looking extremely elegant.

"Oh..." Mueller nodded suddenly, his pupils flickered, and he glanced at Darlene and the others.

He inadvertently asked, "Miss Darlene, are you here to do business in Aoli Kingdom?"

"Yes." Darlene nodded, but she didn't say anything else. Some things have to be done step by step. If the other party keeps asking, it seems too deliberate.

"Oh, are you in the wine business¨‖?" Mu Le asked with the corner of his mouth slightly raised. Youhe Daqu was very attractive to him, and this wine could be paid as a tribute to the king.

"Not only the wine business, but also other things." Darlene said lightly.

"That's it..." Mueller nodded his head lightly, before he could continue asking.

"Cas, go to pay the bill, it's getting late, we should find a place to rest." Darlene told Cas to pay the bill.

"Yes." Cass said respectfully.

"Your Excellency Mueller, let's take our leave first." Darlene got up and said.

Seeing Darlene standing up, Eliza and Mila also stood up calmly.

"Okay." Mu Le was slightly startled, then looked at the wine bottle, hesitantly said, "This wine..."

"Viscount Muller, this bottle of wine is for Your Excellency." Darlene said flatly.

"Thank you." Mueller narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ta Tata..."

Darlene walked out with Elisa and the others, but Cast had already paid the bill, picked up the glass on the table, and left the altar of Youhe Daqu with a half bottle left.

"Excuse me, is this Youhe Daqu your best wine?" Mu Le suddenly asked Cast.

"Of course not...uh..." Cass froze for a moment, then hurriedly shut up and left.

"..." Mu Le turned his head to look at the backs of Darlene and the others, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he muttered to himself, "Is there any wine that is more delicious than Youhe Daqu?"

"Guru..."

Mu Le swallowed, looked at the half bottle of wine left on the table, and immediately wanted to try the wine that was better than Youhe Daqu, what was it like.

He said solemnly to the buddy beside him, "Go and find out what the other party is from, and don't disturb the other party."

"Yes!" The man nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.

"Ta Tata..."

Watching the buddy leave, Mu Le ignored the eyes of those around him, picked up the bottle of Youhe Daqu, and walked away.

He wants to go back and give his father a taste. After all, his father is even more addicted to alcohol than himself. If he lets his father know that he has good wine but swallows it all by himself, I'm afraid he will be beaten by a violent hammer.

Maybe my father knows the name of Youhe Daqu and the mysterious Sheba City.

...

On the streets of Aoli King's Capital, Darlene and the others were looking for a place to stay.

"Dalena, why did we leave? Wasn't it a good opportunity just now?" Mira asked suspiciously, looking at Darlene who was a little drunk beside her.

"This is playing hard to get. We must seize the initiative in order to obtain the greatest benefit." Darlene's face was a little red at this time.

A wise light flashed in her eyes, and she continued, "If we want to cooperate, it will be beneficial for us to ask him to speak first."

Mira was surprised, "' 〃 So that's the case, you mean, he will come to us to cooperate?"

"We'll wait and see, I'm still very confident in Youhe Daqu." Darlene had a confident smile on her face.

Because this Youhe Daqu came from Sheba City, from HAD's hands.

Soon, a few people found a hotel named 'Big Furnace' and opened several rooms to live in.

After entering the room, Darlene lay on the bed and fell asleep. She couldn't hold enough alcohol, but she drank two glasses of Youhe Daqu today, so she was naturally a little drunk.

Although she is the daughter of a businessman, she should have a lot of entertainment at the dinner table, so she should drink a lot, and the amount of alcohol should not be bad.

But the fact is that Darlene's father, Solo, seldom let Darlene drink since she was a child. Solo said that if the business can only be negotiated by letting her daughter drink, it is better not to do it.

In addition to Darlene and the other three in the room, number seven from the Wolf Warriors team also came.

No. was arranged by HAD to protect Darlene and the others. After all, No. is from the Wolf Warriors team. He has undergone various high-intensity training (obtained) and can deal with some special situations well. , of course it is a matter of course.

Eliza told No. , "Go and inquire about Mueller's situation first, as well as information about the iron mine."

"Yes!" No. nodded, changed the fine steel armor on his body, dressed up briefly, and led the people out.

"Ta Tata..."

"Gag!"

"What are we going to do next?" Mira whispered, looking at Darlene who was sleeping on the bed.

"Let's make arrangements when we come back on the th, and see what Darlene has to say." Eliza was very convinced of Darlene, and she was more proficient in business matters.

Mira nodded, and said softly: "You are worthy of being one of the five strange women in the capital, and you are born to be an expert in business."

Chapter 0776 Crying Catherine.

In the evening, in the castle in Sheba City.

In the study, HAD was writing something after dinner, and Mina was sitting on the desk bored, holding a lollipop in her mouth.

"Huh..." HAD stretched his waist, looked at the cat-eared girl next to her, and the candy paper on the table.

"Going to steal Annie's lollipop again?" HAD immediately recognized the lollipop in Mina's mouth, which was Wei Ya's birthday present to Annie.

Mina's eyes were a little wandering, her face was a little red, and she hesitated, "No, no, I bought this at the big market."

When did the big market have carrot flavored lollipops?Why don't you know?

"Hey..." HAD chuckled and didn't try to expose her.

He looked at Mina's slightly red face, and suddenly said, "How about letting me taste it?"

"No! Just one bite." The blush on Mina's face became even redder, and she took out the lollipop in her mouth and handed it over.

HAD raised his mouth slightly, looked at the carrot-colored lollipop, then at Mina's mouth,

"Why, what? Didn't the young master want to eat it?" Mina flicked the cat's tail coyly, as if she had sensed something.

"The lollipop tastes better if you eat it like this." HAD suddenly grabbed Maoerniang's hand, pulled her whole body in front of her, and then kissed Mina's red lips.

"Well, master....." Mina opened her blue eyes slightly, and then closed 033's eyes tightly.

Although this is not the first time, the tactile sensation still makes Mina nervous but still nostalgic.

After a long time, their lips parted, and a transparent thread was pulled out from both of them.

"Master, this is the study~~" Mina's voice was soft, her cheeks were blushing, and her blue eyes were full of mist.

"It's okay..." HAD was interrupted just halfway through his words.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, so HAD could only hold back the rest of his words.

Mina was also taken aback, jumped off HAD, returned to the desk, straightened her clothes quickly, and looked out the window with her blue eyes to hide her blushing face.

...

A few minutes ago, Catherine had been standing outside the study door for a while, and now she was looking at the door with a hint of hesitation on her face.

After a long silence, Catherine still knocked on the study door.

"Boom bang bang..."

"HAD, can I come in?" Catherine said crisply.

After she came out of the security department, she walked around the city, and it was already dark before she knew it. After dinner, she came to HAD's study before she knew it.

"Come in." HAD's gentle voice (afbj) sounded.

"Huh..." Catherine took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and entered.

"Gag..."

After entering the door, Catherine was slightly stunned when she looked at the two people who were a little strange. She was worried and didn't think too much about it.

"Catherine, what's the matter?" HAD's black eyes flickered, looking at Catherine, he could feel that the other party seemed to be in a low mood.

Catherine hesitated before whispering, "I went to see my father today."

HAD nodded. The Security Department had already sent him the report in advance. You must know that there are people in the prison of the Security Department who are watching, so that they can overhear some information.

Today, the conversation between Kerak and Catherine was sent to HAD's desk. After reading it, he expected that Catherine would come to him.

"It's okay, just say what you want to say." HAD comforted him gently, he knew that Catherine needed someone to talk to.

Mina had already regained her composure and sat quietly. She still felt very distressed about Catherine's family affairs.

"..." Catherine was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "When I was young, my father gave me a lute, and I was very happy."

"For this reason... I deliberately learned how to play the lute, and it was from that time that I began to like the instrument..."

Catherine seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and her golden eyes began to let go.

"But gradually I grew up, became sensible, and understood a lot of things, but that's it, I realized that my father was just cultivating me as a commodity, and he could use me to exchange benefits."

A sad smile appeared on the corner of Catherine's mouth, and she said shyly, "Later... my father wanted to marry me to the eldest prince Lucia for the benefit of the family, in order to seek benefits and status."

"At first, I thought I could only accept my fate, but I didn't expect you, HAD, to save me in the end." A smile appeared on Catherine's poignant face, and she looked at HAD with a hint of admiration.

"You are my friend, aren't you?" HAD showed a warm smile on his face.

"Yes." Mina said softly, "As long as you are our friend, the young master will not just sit idly by."

"Yeah!" Catherine nodded heavily.

In my heart, I am very glad that I came to Sheba City with Darlene and met HAD, otherwise I might have been married to the eldest prince and became a victim of interests.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and all three of them fell silent.

"Liu, HAD...I..."

Catherine suddenly thought of what happened today, her eyes were flushed, and she choked up, "When I went to see him today, he said that he was sorry for me."

"Oh!" HAD sighed, stood up, walked in front of Catherine, and gently wiped the tears on Catherine's face with a handkerchief.

"Don't cry." HAD gently comforted her.

"Woooooooo..."

This sentence seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Catherine burst into tears, hugged HAD's waist, and buried her face in his chest.

"Stop crying!" HAD was a little helpless, he really didn't have much experience in dealing with crying women, so he could only reach out and pat Catherine on the back.

Seeing this scene, Mina narrowed her blue eyes slightly, raised the cat's tail, and put it down again, but didn't say much, just watched quietly.

After a while, Catherine's crying gradually disappeared, leaving only a faint choking sound.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Catherine seemed to have realized it, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding HAD, her face blushing.

She didn't expect that she would burst into tears suddenly after losing her composure, but HAD's chest really made people feel warm and safe, which made people feel a little bit reluctant.

"It's okay, just cry." HAD said softly, it's not good to be too depressed, sometimes it's reassuring to cry.

"HAD, my father...can they not send him to mine?" Catherine said shyly.

She knew that this request was a bit excessive, but...

"Don't worry, I won't send them to mine." HAD shook his head. With Kerak's old appearance, he might not be able to persist in mining for a day.

It would be better to send sticky matchboxes.

"Thank you." Catherine said gratefully.

"I promised it before." HAD smiled lightly. He didn't intend to send Kerak to mine in the first place. If it spread like this, it would make some enemies unwilling to surrender in the future, which is not good.

"Hmm..." Catherine suddenly stepped on her feet, kissed HAD's cheek with her head, and then ran away blushing.

"Ta Tata..."

Chapter 0777 Bella's plan.

The land of chaos, Bella's territory.

"According to the time, Deess should be arriving in Sheba City soon." Bella looked towards the direction of the quiet mountains, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Beside Bella, the dog clan Beastkin He An said, "My lord, with the strength of Miss Deess, there will be no problem, let alone Obi and Ryan following."

"Dice is strong, but she lacks a little brain, but with Ryan, there is no need to worry too much." Bella shook her head, and put the two wooden swords in her hands back on the shelf beside her.

"My lord, there are a lot fewer Beastkin in the territory now. Should we consider expanding the territory?" The eyes of the dog Beastkin Hean flickered.

"There's no rush, we'll talk about it when Obi comes back." Bella narrowed her eyes slightly, it was time to prepare to expand the territory, but it would be safer to wait for Obi to come back.

Obi's trip to Sheba City this time is not just a simple escort, but the most important thing is to purchase food and weapons.

That's right, Bella took a fancy to the weapons and armor under HAD's hands.

He An nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "I just don't know if that HAD is willing to sell us weapons and armor."

"It depends on Deess' ability." Bella said coldly. Before Deess left, she vaguely mentioned the state of the territory, which is in urgent need of weapons.

Now the weapons used by most of the Beastkin in the territory are just wooden clubs, and there are not many pig iron weapons, let alone armor, which is extremely rare.

But this time Deess came back with Beastkin and left with a lot of saltpeter. As long as HAD sold the saltpeter, he could exchange for wheat and some weapons.

If HAD's weapon support can be obtained, expanding the territory will become much easier.

After all, there are only people and no weapons, but it is difficult to compete for territory from those nobles.

"How is the saltpeter mining going?" Bella looked at He'an. After Ryan left, many things were basically handed over to the dog Beastkin to take care of.

"There are already several warehouses stockpiled, and we are arranging to send them to Sheba City one after another." He'an said in a deep voice.

Bella said lightly, "Continue to let people mine it. Ryan said, as much saltpeter as there is, there will be as much as it takes."

"Yes." He'an nodded, then backed away, he was going to have a look at the saltpeter.

Some things still need to be supervised by him personally. If someone is lazy, don't blame him for being rude.

Now the territory does not support idlers, if you want to eat, you have to work, and mining saltpeter is currently the only option.

...

"Tap Tap..."

There is still 25 kilometers away from Sheba City. The Beastkin immigrant caravan led by the fox girl Ryan, the bull Beastkin Obi and Teess is heading towards Sheba City at this time.
