Chapter 1274: looking at each other
Grasse giant wall.
It was located near the sea and was crowded with people. It was a paradise for adventurers and also a place for merchants to chase after. This place was close to the sea. Just the entrance fees for tourists and adventurers were comparable to the income of the other giant walls for a few months. Not to mention the taxes on the goods traded here was an astronomical figure, it was so huge that even kings coveted it.
“In two days, it will be the sacrificial sail festival of the giant wall of Grasse.”
“Aina, look quickly. This is the blue dragon jade of the giant wall of Rand. It’s a specialty of that place. The natural gold thread inside is said to be a live egg of a bug.”
“Egg of a bug? That’s disgusting. I want roses.”
“Okay, I’ll buy them for you. Roses are much cheaper than Blue Dragon Jade.”
“Hmph, I Want Bauhinia Roses. This is a bouquet of them that costs a hundred gold coins. Can you bear to part with it?”
“UH… of course, for you, I’m willing to part with anything.”
The streets within the giant wall were bustling with people. The festival of sacrificial sail that had arisen a few years ago was about to arrive. The city was bustling with activity. There were small wooden boats and figurines hanging by the street lamps. It was a festive scene.
A figure floated over. He was not eye-catching in the crowd, but if anyone noticed him, their gaze would not be able to shift away from him.
The figure passed by the couple on the side of the road and suddenly stopped. His gaze fell on the blooming purple rose in the girl’s hand. Each petal of the Rose had a complicated pattern, it gave off a noble and mysterious feeling.
This was the most expensive and rarest type of rose, the Bauhinia Rose.
“Purple…”the figure muttered in a low voice.
“What are you looking at?”The girl noticed that the stranger was staring at the Bauhinia rose in her hand. She raised her gaze and said with slight displeasure.
The young man next to her saw this and smiled lightly, he said, “Aina, don’t be angry. He probably wants to buy a bunch of Bauhinia roses for his girlfriend too. It’s just that he doesn’t have the money. After all, there aren’t many people who are willing to spend a hundred gold coins to buy a bunch of roses like me.”
“That’s true.”The girl smiled sweetly and sniffed the roses, feeling very satisfied.
“Boss, wrap up the Bauhinia Roses here for me.”At this moment, the stranger next to him spoke. His voice was very gentle and had a smile on his face. He didn’t care about the couple’s words at all.
The flower shop’s boss raised his head and looked at him when he heard that. He chuckled and said, “You want a bunch too? Bauhinia roses cost 100 gold coins a bunch. I don’t bargain here.”
“Wrap it all up,”the stranger said with a smile on his face.
As soon as he said this, both the owner of the flower shop and the couple next to him were stunned. They looked at him in astonishment, as if they suspected that their ears were hallucinating.
“You, you want all of it?”The owner of the flower shop asked in surprise.
The Stranger took out a golden card from his pocket and said, “I’ll pay from here.”
“Golden Card?”The Florist took the card and was a little curious. He had only seen silver and black cards. The most advanced one was a red card, which was made by a big figure in the giant wall of Grasse. This was the first time he had seen a golden card.
“I have 1,423 Bauhinia Roses here. I’ll wipe them off for you. It’ll cost 142,000 gold coins. Are you sure?”The florist looked at the man suspiciously. Even those nobles.., they would not spend more than 100,000 gold coins to buy roses for others. After all, roses were one-time use. They would soon wither and wither. Bauhinia roses were already considered a luxury item.
“I want all of them.”The stranger nodded with a smile again.
The florist thought for a moment. He first used the gold card to swipe across the machine. He did not want the roses to be bandaged properly. If the other party went back on his word, his roses would suffer in vain.
When the gold card swiped through the machine, the florist suddenly realized that the gold card didn’t have a password, so he immediately paid. The balance interface flashed on it, and he saw countless zeros.
“This…”the florist was stunned.
The stranger put away the gold card and waited quietly with a smile.
The couple next to him was speechless when they saw that this person actually paid more than a hundred thousand Yuan for the Rose. The girl suddenly felt that the bouquet of Bauhinia roses in her hand was a little shameful. She even wanted to throw it away, so she stomped her feet and ran away.
Soon, the florist wrapped up all the Bauhinia roses and said politely to the stranger, “Do you need us to help you deliver them? It would be inconvenient for you to take so many by yourself…”
The stranger did not wait for him to finish speaking. A few arms jumped out from under his clothes and hugged the roses. He lifted them several meters above his head to prevent them from being messed up by the crowd. Then, he quickly left the florist’s shop.
When he passed by a clothing store, the man stopped. After thinking for a moment, he entered the clothing store. When he came out again, he had changed into an extremely handsome black and gold suit, which made him look noble and gorgeous.
He combed his hair neatly and wore a formal suit. He held the rose and walked toward the inner city of the giant wall of Grasse.
The streets were crowded with people. As far as the eye could see, there were countless heads and carriages decorated with gold. If ordinary people were to play together, once they let go of each other’s hands, they might not be able to find each other, they could only communicate through communication.
However, in his perception, separated by the vast sea of people, countless figures, carriages, and buildings, he could still clearly feel that familiar aura.
It was like a red lantern, waiting for him there.
He could not stop smiling. His heart was incomparably excited and happy. He was unprecedentedly nervous. Even during the coronation ceremony, he could remain calm and calm. However, at this moment.., he was so excited that he could not help but want to jump and walk.
In a bustling ancient Chinese restaurant, a young girl wearing a purple cheongsam sat on the third floor. The environment here was relatively quiet. The noise of eating and drinking downstairs was not as noisy. She leaned against the railing, her snow-white skin color and alluring cheeks were extremely eye-catching, causing other customers on the third floor to frequently look over. However, everyone could tell that this girl was not from an ordinary family.
On the table in front of her, she randomly ordered a few dishes and two jars of wine.
She only drank wine and did not eat food.
Wine and water were the only human food that she could swallow.
However, wine tasted better than water.
This was because the hotter the wine, the colder the water.
She still remembered that there was once someone who liked to give her wine to drink. During that period of time, he had always been by her side.
She did not know how to face that person or how to face herself. Hence, she could only drink wine and drink it one mouthful at a time. During this process, her thoughts seemed to be able to stop and not think.
“HMM?”Suddenly, her gaze focused, and in the next moment, she suddenly sat up straight.
Bang!
The wine bottle in her hand fell and fell to the ground, startling the other eaters on the third floor who were peeking. They thought that they had been discovered and immediately lowered their heads to eat.
However, she did not even look at these people. She only stared blankly at the end of the street. That touch of purple was particularly eye-catching among the crowd, and it was approaching this place. and the most eye-catching thing was the person underneath that touch of purple, that familiar face..
Why was he here?
Her heart suddenly panicked. She looked left and right, wanting to find a place to quickly leave. But very quickly, her rationality allowed her to quickly consider the current situation. The other party was most likely here for her.
She could not hide.
Moreover..
Should she continue to hide?
Looking at that face that was full of smiles, she was stunned.
Tears suddenly flowed down from the corners of her eyes. That silly smiling face, where was the slightest bit of killing intent that could rule the world?
She covered her mouth, her shoulders gently twitching. Tears fell like rain, covering her face.
The figure in the crowd seemed to have also noticed the beautiful scenery in the tavern. His eyes became more excited, and his footsteps involuntarily sped up a little, pushing away the surrounding crowd. But it seemed that it was not fast enough.., his body soared into the air.
As soon as he soared into the air, the crowd cried out in surprise. No one seemed to have expected that someone would be bold enough to fly in the giant wall of Grasse. This was a violation of Grasse’s laws!
However, no matter how many cries of surprise there were, they didn’t catch his attention. His gaze was only focused on the breathtakingly beautiful figure in the tavern. Numerous pure white wings emerged from his back, flapping gently, like Angels, he carried a large number of Bauhinia roses and flew to the third floor of the tavern.
The two of them were separated by only a carved railing.
They looked at each other quietly.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
All the sounds seemed to have disappeared into the distance.
