"Pong Pong."
There was a knock on the door outside the wooden house, "Is Miss Ao here?"
Olena opened the door and found that the clerk of the bureau was standing
outside. Seeing Dragon Girl, he took a heavy package from behind and placed it
at the door of the room, then took out a small notebook and handed it to her,
"This is a newly approved extra payment, please press your fingerprint here to
indicate that you have already Receive honorarium."
finally come!
Olena quickly pressed her fingerprints and took the package into the room.
This is also one of the few victories she has won from Xia Fan-as long as she
undertakes a manned flight mission, she can receive an extra income. Although
the single number is not much, the accumulation is still considerable.
She is already looking forward to the next dispatch.
However, it is also a manned flight, how do you feel that this time the reward
will be a lot more?
Olena can't wait to open the cloth bag.
Inside it was a wooden box with a card on it.
She glanced at it, and there was only a short line of words on the card: You
may need something seized on the Battleship Natantin, so I will give it to you
as an extra reward.
extra bonus?
Olena opened the lid and placed a purse on the top, which was obviously a
reward for a long-distance raid. Under the purse, there is a set of folded
clothes and a pair of bright red high heels.
Looking at this costume, the corners of her eyes suddenly became a little sour
as a warm current surged in her heart.
Yes, this is the traditional ceremonial gown of Oceania.
Although the Holy Wings and other oceanic countries are competitors in
maritime trade and resource development, they influence each other in customs,
so their dresses are basically the same. Especially the clothes of the upper
nobles, as long as they become popular in one country, they will soon be
spread to other kingdoms.
Rubbing the clothes in her hands, Olena couldn't help but think of the fief of
the Okan family, the slightly old castle, and her younger brother...
I don't know how he's doing in the college.
It would be great if I could send a letter back to the Holy Wing Islands.
After calming down a bit, she unbuttoned, took off her clothes, tried to put
on this light blue dress gown, and then put her feet in delicate high heels.
An unexpected fit.
By the way, when Xia Fan measured his body shape, he seemed to have tested it
with his normal form, and it was reasonable to know the size.
Olena spread out her curly silver hair and looked at herself in the bronze
mirror, as if she had returned to the day when she first arrived.
And in the box is not only the dress, but also a wool scarf and a thick
bearskin coat. From the color matching point of view, it should be the same as
the dress.
She finally has a few clothes that can be replaced.
Otherwise, every time you wash your clothes, you have to carefully use the
dragon flame to dry them. If you don't pay attention, you will leave permanent
burn marks. The process is also very tiring.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in the yard next door. It
should be Miss Yu and Xintao who came back.
Olena suddenly wanted to show her a new image to the two of them—the other was
one of the few people in the city who could speak to her, and naturally wanted
to share something good with them.
Dragon Girl walked out of the house, and Xin Tao noticed her changes for the
first time.
"Wow...this dress is so beautiful!" The little girl leaned forward to look up
at the fence, "It doesn't seem to be Jinxia Cloth's ready-made clothes? And
these shoes, can you really stand firm? It’s easy to fall down."
"It's okay if you get used to it." Olina smiled and briefly explained the
origin of the robe. "On our side, aristocratic women will start to learn how
to walk in high heels after the age of fourteen, and even dance. Only the toes
are allowed to land, and most of the time, you have to dance on your toes."
"Um... the straight toes and tall legs are really easy to imagine, especially
when you are forced to stand by the wall." Xin Tao thought, "The purpose of
his giving you this dress, maybe it is Let you wear it first, and then tear it
apart with your hands—"
Yu Shuangxue landed a punch on Xintao's head, knocking the second half of her
sentence back into her stomach.
"Sorry, she didn't even know what she was talking about."
Olena tilted her head... here again, the strange manners of the East.
"That..." Yu Shuangxue led the topic elsewhere, "I saw what was said in the
newspaper. It turns out that the dark shadow that soared into the sky that
night was really you. So... are you actually a demon?"
"Yes." Olena replied, "I didn't mean to keep you secret, but the customs here
are very different from my hometown. I am worried that it will scare you."
"No wonder you have such a good appetite." Xin Tao muttered, "But why did
Master Xia only invite Lady Chi and not Sister Ao you?"
"Invitation? That treacherous one--Uh, I mean Xia Fan?"
"Yeah, you both participated in the battle to eliminate the invaders?" Xin Tao
said straightforwardly what she had learned in the afternoon, "Master Xia
seems to want Lady Chi to appear at the busiest time of the celebration."
The six-legged snake... Olena thought, on the way to the Silver Star Tree
Boat, that guy didn't seem to like herself very much. "I'm not interested in
being popular, and it doesn't matter to give her the credit." At least the
reward is paid on time, and this is enough. When she fulfilled the contract
and returned to the Holy Wing Islands, these fame would become meaningless.
"So... Sister Ao really doesn't put money in her eyes." Xin Tao said with
emotion, "Your family must be very rich."
Olena's body suddenly stopped, "Is there any relationship between the two?"
"Of course there is. Mrs. Xia said that the celebration is just the beginning.
There will be special meetings for Chi girl in the future, and the proceeds
will be divided in half. If she can really make a blockbuster at the
celebration, the subsequent income will be considerable." Xin Tao said with a
lot of experience, "This is the same as fighting for an oiran, fame is
everything!"
"I have come out of Wushuang Pavilion, so don't talk about the previous things
anymore." Yu Shuangxue glared at her.
Income-considerable.
Olena only heard this sentence ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The thoughts that she didn't
care about before were all forgotten.
She felt in an instant that she had indeed been treated unfairly.
...
A week passed quickly, and Jinxia City ushered in the long holiday promulgated
by Her Royal Highness—the first three, four, and seven days, everyone can put
aside their work and enjoy this rare leisure time. You don't have to work, and
you pay your salary. This is the first time everyone has heard of such a good
thing.
Of course, paid leave is limited to the staff of the bureau and those who
participate in the projects led by the bureau. Businessmen and private
industries are obviously not among them. In other words, the more lively
occasions, the less they can relax. Special days like celebrations are often
the most active moments for business.
The activities of the first two days are indeed related to commerce.
The original yard area has been transformed into the largest square in Jinxia
City. Xia Fan ordered people to set up exhibition sheds on it and showcase
some of the new gadgets recently made, taking this opportunity to hold a
comprehensive trade fair.
