"Oh my God, it's really you!"
When Sunflower walked down from the spectator stand with a heavy bag of gold royals in her hand, she heard a very familiar voice.
She turned around and could not help but smile. "Hey, Tigerclaw!"
"Hahaha, long time no see, Sunflower!" Tigerclaw hugged her and patted her on the back. "When His Majesty announced your name, I thought it was someone with the same name. I didn't expect you to defeat the Chief Knight and The Light Of Dawn. I'm so surprised! Wait... this feeling... Have you gained weight? "
Sunflower pushed him away with a smile and punched him in the chest. "Go to hell. Compared to before, I only have skin and bones. This is normal, okay?"
"No, I mean it's better to be a little fatter." Tigerclaw whistled. "At least you look more like a woman." He looked Sunflower up and down. "But seriously, your appearance has changed a lot... I wasn't sure when we were on the platform."
"Really?" Sunflower shrugged. "My hair is a little longer and I eat a little more. Aren't you a lot stronger too? "
"I trained on the construction site every day!" Tigerclaw proudly raised his arms.
"Huff... huff... Sunflower, wait for me." Xiao struggled to get out of the crowd and gasped. "Hey, isn't this Tigerclaw?"
"Look, this guy hasn't changed at all. He's still so skinny." Tigerclaw also gave him a warm hug. "Don't tell me you also ran all the way here."
"Ahem, ahem... Be gentle." Xiao smiled bitterly. "I came here in the caravan owner's carriage. If it weren't for Sister Kui insisting that I accompany her, I wouldn't even want to make this trip. "
"You're a merchant now?"
"Just a handyman." He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Doesn't this guy know how to read a few words?" Sunflower curled her lips. "He learns elementary education faster than the others. After passing the examination, he was chosen by a Chamber of Commerce. He sits in his room and deals with the account book every day. Life is so comfortable."
"I see. Fortunately, you came. Otherwise, how could we coincidentally meet? " Tigerclaw guffawed. "Let's go to Neverwinter and have a good drink to celebrate Sunflower!"
"Yes, but..." Dawn looked around. "Where's Snaketooth? Didn't he sign up for the competition? "
Sunflower's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she did not want to appear too eager, so she pretended to be nonchalant and looked at Tigerclaw. "Could it be that he was left behind by you and went back by himself?"
"He … ran to the Concealing Forest alone to build the railway." Tigerclaw replied lazily. "Although the pay is good, you might lose your life if you're not careful. What's the point of earning more? In the past, he even lived in the sewers. Now that he has a proper house, he's still not satisfied and wants to pursue a double room. Sometimes, I really don't understand what he's thinking. "
That was because it could provide a warm and comfortable home for the family, not just a shelter from the elements. Sunflower thought sourly, "Of course it's for Paper."
"Paper?" Tigerclaw was confused.
"Hey, don't tell me you've forgotten about Paper." Dawn poked him. "She's our companion."
"I know, but what does it have to do with her?" Tigerclaw was confused. "Paper has joined the Witch Union and lives in the Castle District. She doesn't need us to provide her with a house. Besides, Snaketooth has seen Paper several times, but he didn't dare to greet her. He even pulled me to the side to hide. As a result, she still doesn't know we're here. "
"What?" Sunflower was stunned. "You haven't seen Paper in more than two years?"
Tigerclaw shook his head helplessly.
"Pfft — hahahaha." Sunflower grinned. "Then he's really a fool!" Somehow, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and even her steps became lighter.
"Sister Sunflower, lower your voice," Dawn said hurriedly. "Everyone around us is looking at us."
Sunflower did not care at all. Instead, she waved at the crowd and received a burst of friendly laughter.
People had undoubtedly regarded her as a Miss Champion.
"It's so good to be famous..." Tigerclaw sighed. "Two years ago, I never thought I'd have such a day."
"Compared with fame, the 100 Golden Dragons are more important." Dawn had a different opinion. "If you use them to do business, you'll definitely earn more than work. Even if you don't know anything about it, you can find a Chamber of Commerce to invest in it. If you can make it big, you'll basically earn money without doing anything —"
"No, I want to buy a house," Sunflower interrupted. "In the Border District."
"Huh?" Dawn was stunned. "But this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you start from scratch, do you know how long it'll take to save 100 Golden Dragons? "
"I know, but I've decided," Sunflower said without hesitation.
"Then what about your job?"
"That's why I'm going to buy a bicycle," she said. "You've seen how easy it is to ride. If I have a bicycle, I should be able to get back to the Longsong District in a day... no, in a morning. And there are a lot of letters that are delivered from both sides. Maybe I can make more money. "
"You..." Dawn looked at her for a long time and finally sighed as if surrendering. "Whatever. I've never persuaded you anyway."
Sunflower smiled, but her mind flew back to two years ago.
The day of their separation.
When the four of them stood on the dock, she had asked Snaketooth "Will you come back?", but she never got an answer.
At that time, she felt that she might never see him again.
Border Town and Longsong Stronghold were so far away that even if they merged into one city, they were still worlds apart in Sunflower's eyes.
After all, the farthest place they had been to was the garbage dump outside Longsong City.
In her mind, Border City was an unreachable place.
It was not until she was tempted by the reward of the Sports Meet that Sunflower set foot on the Kingdom Main Street for the first time. In order to cheer herself up, she forced Dawn to come with her.
Unexpectedly, the distance between the two places was beyond her imagination. Compared with winning the first place, Sunflower was more surprised to find that the distance between her and Snaketooth was not that far. There were no winding mountain roads or bumpy roads. A straight black stone road connected the two places. For the first time, she felt like she was in a city.
In that case, why should she wait for him to come back?
She just needed to go there by herself.
Just like what His Majesty said.
The so-called "impossible" might really be a shackle to be broken. Before trying, who knows if it will be another miracle?
"Let's go to a tavern. I'll buy you a drink." Sunflower patted her purse.
"Oh!" Tigerclaw clenched his fist excitedly. "It's a pity that Snaketooth won't be able to enjoy it."
"Remember to save the money at the hotel first," Dawn reminded. "Just bring four or five Golden Dragon coins!"
"I know," Sunflower smiled.
She did not know what the final result would be, but she wanted to try.
