Grass giant wall.
Located in the coastal area, the flow of people was dense and bustling. It was one of the paradise for adventurers and businessmen. This place was close to the sea. The entrance fee for tourists and adventurers was comparable to the income of several months in other cities of the giant wall. Not to mention the taxes on goods traded here. It was an astronomical figure. It was so huge that it was enough to make the king envious.
"In two days, it will be our Giant Glass Wall's Sacrificial Sail Festival.
"Ina, look, this is the orchid dragon jadeite of Randt giant wall. It is a specialty of that place. The natural golden silk inside is said to be insect eggs."
"Insect eggs? That's disgusting. I want roses. "
"Well, I will buy roses for you. Roses are much cheaper than orchid dragon jadeite."
"Well, I want Chinese redbud roses. This is 100 gold coins. Are you willing to spend it?"
"Uh … Of course, for you I am willing to do anything."
People were coming and going in the streets of the giant wall. A few years ago the festival was coming. The city was very lively. Small wooden boat figurines were hanging on the side of the street lamps.
A figure floated in the crowd. He was inconspicuous but if you noticed him you would never be able to move your eyes away from him.
The figure passed by the couple on the side of the road and suddenly stopped. His eyes fell on the purple rose in the girl's hand. Each petal of the rose had a complex pattern. It had a noble and mysterious feeling.
This was the most expensive and the rarest variety of rose.
"Purple …" the figure murmured.
"What are you looking at?" The girl noticed that the strange eyes were staring at the Chinese redbud rose in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and said with slight displeasure.
The youth next to her gently smiled and said: "Ina, don't be angry. I guess he also wants to buy a bunch of Chinese redbud roses for his girlfriend. But he doesn't have the money. After all, there are not many people like me who are willing to spend 100 gold coins to buy a bunch of roses."
"That's true." The girl heard the words and showed a sweet smile. She was very satisfied with the rose.
"Boss, here are the Chinese redbud roses. Wrap them up for me." At this moment, the unfamiliar figure next to them spoke. His voice was very gentle and he had a smile on his face. He did not seem to care about the couple's words at all.
The florist looked up at him and said with a smile, "You want a bouquet too? Redbud roses cost 100 gold coins per bouquet. I don't bargain here."
"Wrap them all up," the stranger said with a smile.
As soon as he said that, whether it was the florist or the couple next to him, they were all stunned. They looked at him in astonishment, as if suspecting that their ears were playing tricks on them.
"You, you want all of them?" The florist was stunned.
The stranger took out a golden card and said, "Swipe the money from here."
"Gold card?" The florist took the card. He was a little curious. He had only seen a silver card and a black card. The highest level card was a red card. It was made by a big shot in the Grass Giant Wall. This was the first time he had seen a gold card.
"I have one thousand four hundred and twenty-three Chinese redbud roses here. I'll give you the change. It will cost one hundred and forty-two thousand gold coins. Are you sure?" The florist looked at the stranger suspiciously. Even the nobles wouldn't spend more than a hundred thousand gold coins to buy roses as gifts. After all, roses were disposable and would soon wither. Redbud roses were considered as luxury goods.
"All of them." The stranger smiled again and nodded.
The florist thought for a moment. He took the gold card and swiped it on the machine. He didn't want the other party to go back on his word. Then he would have to suffer for nothing.
When the gold card was swiped on the machine, the florist suddenly found that there was no password set on the gold card. The balance interface flashed 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 saw that the stranger actually paid more than a hundred thousand gold coins for the roses. They were speechless. The girl suddenly felt that the bouquet of Chinese redbud roses in her hand was a bit shameful. She even wanted to throw it away and run away.
Soon the florist had wrapped all the Chinese redbud roses. He politely said to the stranger: "Do you need us to help you? It's inconvenient for you to carry so many …"
The stranger didn't wait for him to finish his words. A few arms sprang out from under his clothes and held the roses. He lifted them a few meters above his head to avoid being messed up by the crowd. Then he quickly left the florist shop.
The man stopped when he passed by a clothing store. He thought for a moment and then entered the clothing store. When he came out again, he had changed into a very handsome black and gold suit. It was a noble and gorgeous temperament.
He combed his hair neatly and put on a formal suit. He held the roses and walked towards the inner city of the Grass Giant Wall.
The streets were crowded with people. There were also many noble carriages with gold inlaid carriages. If ordinary people were playing together, once they let go of each other's hands, they might not be able to find each other again. They could only contact each other by means of communication.
However, in his perception, he could still clearly sense that familiar aura despite being separated by a vast sea of people, countless figures, carriages, and buildings.
It was like a red lantern waiting for him there.
He couldn't stop the smile on his face. He was extremely excited and happy. He was unprecedentedly nervous. Even if it was the coronation ceremony, he could keep calm. But at this moment, he was so excited that he couldn't help but want to jump and walk.
In a bustling old Chinese restaurant, a girl in a purple cheongsam was sitting on the third floor. The environment here was relatively quiet. The noise of eating and drinking downstairs was not so noisy. She was leaning against the carved railing. Her snow-white skin and beautiful cheeks were extremely eye-catching. It attracted the attention of other diners on the third floor. But everyone could see that this woman was not an ordinary girl.
There were a few dishes and two jars of wine on the table in front of her.
She only drank wine and didn't eat.
Wine and water were the only human food that she could swallow.
But wine tasted better than water.
Because the wine got hotter and the water got colder.
She still remembered that there was once a person who liked to give her wine. During that time, he had been accompanying her.
She didn't know how to face that person or herself. So she could only drink. She drank mouthful by mouthful. During this process, her thoughts seemed to stop and she didn't think.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. The next moment, she suddenly sat up straight.
Bang!
The wine bottle in her hand fell to the ground. The other peeping diners on the third floor were shocked. They thought that they had been discovered and immediately lowered their heads to eat.
But she didn't even look at these people. She just stared blankly at the end of the street. The purple color was especially eye-catching in the crowd. As it approached, the most eye-catching thing was the person under the purple color. That familiar face …
Why is he here?
She suddenly panicked. She looked left and right, wanting to find a place to quickly escape. But soon, her rationality made her quickly consider the current situation. The other party was most likely here for her.
She couldn't hide.
And …
Should she continue hiding?
Looking at the face that was brimming with smiles, she was stunned.
Tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes. That silly smiling face no longer had the murderous aura of a monarch.
She covered her mouth. Her shoulders twitched lightly. Tears fell like rain and stained her cheeks.
The figure in the crowd also seemed to have noticed the beautiful scenery in the tavern. His eyes became even more excited, and his footsteps involuntarily quickened. He squeezed through the crowd around him, but it seemed that he wasn't fast enough. His body flew up into the air.
As soon as he flew up, the crowd exclaimed. No one had expected that someone would be bold enough to fly in the Giant Grass Wall. This was a violation of the Grass Wall's laws!
However, no matter how many exclamations there were, they didn't attract his attention. His eyes were only focused on the breathtakingly beautiful figure in the tavern. A pair of pure white wings appeared on his back and flapped gently. He was like an angel holding a large number of Chinese redbud roses as he flew to the third floor of the tavern.
The two of them were only separated by a railing.
They looked at each other silently.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
All the sounds seemed to have faded away.
