Chapter 731 Rising, Hall of Stars
The Star Sea Kingdom, a maritime kingdom shrouded by the glory of the stars, is the most popular country on the entire continent today. A large number of adventurers and merchants travel back and forth with ships worth millions of gold.
The pirate phenomenon that had flourished for many years was also restrained under the rules and regulations of the Star Sea Kingdom, and gradually integrated into it and became the new citizens of the Star Sea Kingdom.
In the Rorsted Islands, in a large villa near the royal palace and facing the sea, Xio was sitting on the sofa in the living room of his home at night, with a dark face, looking at the travel portal that was secretly opened with a squint.
When she caught a glimpse of Fors' familiar figure, she chuckled, "Your ability is really convenient. You can take things from a distance. I really envy you."
"..." Fors came out of the travel portal with an embarrassed look on her face. She coughed twice before saying, "I want to help you reduce the burden of food. Eating too much at night is not good for your health."
"Do you know how long I was hungry that day?"
Xiu stood up and walked forward a few steps. She stretched out her hand to pinch Fors' ears to let her know what the price of stealing food would be, but she caught a glimpse of a strange figure coming through the travel portal.
It was a good-looking man, about 27 or 28 years old.
Xiu's expression immediately became alert, and she looked back and forth at Fors and the strange man.
"This is Mr. Claude, a friend I met when I went out this time. He just happened to come here on the way." Fors explained with a smile.
On the way back to Trier, Claude suddenly said that he wanted to visit the Star Sea Kingdom, so she had to take him to open the travel portal.
"Okay, Fors, you have learned to bring men home now. It seems that I should not stay at home tonight, but go out to make room for you." Xio said with a sour tone.
Fors laughed even more happily, "Xiu, it's not too late for you to go out for a walk now. It would be better if you don't come back."
"..." Xio's expression was slightly stiff, looking at Fors in disbelief, and she didn't expect her to say such a ruthless thing.
"Mr. Claude, are you used to drinking coffee or sweeter milk tea?" Fors deliberately ignored Xio's complex expression and inquiring eyes.
"Milk tea, it would be better if you can add more sugar."
"Mr. Claude, please sit here and wait for a while."
Fors invited Claude to bypass Xio and sit on the sofa, then got up and went to the kitchen to prepare milk tea.
"..."
This active cooking made Xio stunned.
Fortunately, she quickly suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and deliberately sat opposite Mr. Claude. After taking a serious look, she asked: "Mr. Claude, where are you from?"
"I'm from Intis."
Heh, a man from Intis.
Xiu patiently said: "You and Fors seem to have a good relationship?"
"We have taken risks together."
"This time, the Cordu Village incident?"
"Well, it was an unforgettable journey."
In the kitchen, Fors, who was preparing milk tea, was holding back her smile and secretly watching the conversation between Xi and Claude. She almost laughed out loud several times.
But when she heard Xiu suddenly say: "It's a pity, Fors has never liked men, only girls."
The happy expression on Fors's face froze instantly, and she almost knocked over the milk tea at hand. In order to stop Xiu from talking nonsense, she hurriedly took the milk tea and walked out of the kitchen.
"Oh, Ms. Fors only likes women?"
"Yes, she has a serious homosexual fetish, and the presence of the opposite sex only makes her uncomfortable."
"Is that so." Claude's smile became even stronger, as if he had satisfied a certain kind of melon-eating mentality, "Then what is your relationship with Ms. Fors?"
"Just what you think in your heart."
"Xiu!" Fors, who was a distance away from the sofa, interrupted Xiu's nonsense loudly.
"Alas, she can never be honest about our relationship." Xiu shrugged helplessly and sighed.
"What are you talking about!" Fors walked up quickly and carefully placed a cup of Intis-flavored red date and taro paste milk tea in front of Claude, then turned to look at Xiu, clenched his teeth and said, "When did I have a homosexual fetish!"
"This is an obvious fact, Fors, you should learn to accept yourself. No matter how imperfect it is, it is also a part of you and cannot be separated." Xiu leaned back and leaned against the sofa, his expression was normal, except that he was crossing his legs.
"It's really interesting." Claude smiled and picked up the milk tea in front of him, took a sip, slowly stood up and said with a smile: "It tastes good, thank you Ms. Fors and Ms. Xiu for your hospitality today."
"A firm relationship does not need to fear worldly rumors, it is not a sin."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared with the milk tea.
Xiu looked at the scene in front of her with a look of shock and astonishment. With her strength, she could not detect how the other party left, which made her suddenly have a bad premonition in her heart.
Was the joke just now too big?
"Xiu!"
Facing Fors, whose eyes were almost blazing with anger, Xiu lowered her head and moved her eyes away awkwardly, whispering: "I really just wanted to make a little joke..."
"Heh, you scared away my distinguished guest, do you think I will accept your apology like this?"
Distinguished guest?
Xiu immediately grasped the key point in Fors's words, raised his head, and looked at Fors in disbelief, "No way?"
"What do you think?" Fors rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily.
"..."
Xiu paused for two or three seconds before digesting the information. He immediately giggled and approached Fors, asking her about the adventure of this trip.
"Hey, you..."
Fors poked Xiu's head lightly with her right index finger. She was too lazy to blame her anymore. She pulled Xiu to sit on the sofa on the same side and told the story of this trip.
...
In the fairy tale castle, Bernadette, who was looking up at the starry sky, looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise.
His left hand was in the outer pocket of his shirt, and his right hand was holding a cup of Intis-flavored milk tea. He was wearing clothes from Intis. He was not very old, and his eyes were particularly bright, as if they were gathering stars.
Soon, Bernadette knew who the visitor was. She smiled and said, "Since you're visiting me, can you bring me a cup of milk tea?"
"I can't help it. Fors only prepared one cup."
"Just passing by?"
"It's been a few years since we last met, right?"
"Five years."
"Really? I almost forgot the feeling of time passing."
"Come down and walk more often, so that you can experience it more clearly."
"Not too far, not too close, that's good."
"Won't you be bored?"
"Boring, such a word is really not suitable to come from your mouth."
"I can't help it. I'm really bored now. I really want to go to the starry sky and see a different world."
"That's not a problem."
"Let's wait until later. I'm always good at waiting."
The night wind blew by, and Bernadette began to talk about what the Star Sea Kingdom had experienced during this period, occasionally adding some major changes that had occurred on the continent.
When she finished talking, the figure standing opposite, under the light of the stars, had quietly left without knowing when.
She suddenly had a premonition that the next time they met, it might be more than five years.
Bernadette's eyes followed the direction of the falling starlight all the way up, and she seemed to see an ancient palace slowly rising from the endless starlight in the bright starry sky.
At first glance, she thought it was an illusion.
After a careful look, shock flashed in her eyes.
She was not wrong, and it was not an illusion. The ancient palace belonging to the stars was indeed rising slowly!
At the beginning, the Hall of Stars was in the shining of the stars, sitting in the entire starry sky, but at this moment, the Hall of Stars was slowly rising, as if it wanted to break away from the surrounding stars, go higher, and surpass the starry sky!
This process is not fast, but it is indeed a real phenomenon.
The Hall of Stars is rising!
