forest kingdom

The hottest time of the year has arrived. As long as we can hold on through these few days, the short summer will be over.

Today is the collective holiday of the monastery. Young girls and young women from the manor monastery boarded the carriage one after another, carrying their school bags and holding straw baskets filled with blankets and clothes.

Both Yubao and Yuguai wore large straw hats for sun protection and carried small, tilted cloth bags on their backs, which were filled with sweet and sour berries. When they were thirsty, they could take one out and put it in their mouths.

Yubao and Yuguai quickly boarded the middle carriage and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Quack~" Yubao sat in the seat obediently, waiting for the car to start.

The fish monster would not sit down like Yubao. It was a bit stuffy here, so the fish monster quickly lay on the ground, stretched his legs into the gap under the seat like a salted fish, and put his hard head on the cool wooden floor.

Lana put away her luggage and came over to see Yubao and Yuguai. She quickly complained, "Why is Yuguai lying down again? Drink some water."

Lana took out the bottle of cold water she carried with her, which contained boiled water with sugar.

First, pour a large cup of tea for Yu Bao using the teacup.

Yu Bao grabbed the big teacup, which was as big as his face, with both hands and started drinking from it with his head tilted back.

Lana squatted down with the kettle, poured a little water from the kettle onto her hands, and then reached out to apply it on the fish monster's body.

The moist and warm water made the fish monster close its eyes quickly and start to take a nap.

The person outside came in and counted them, then asked uncertainly, "Are all the people here? It's time to drive!"

Aruchu and Kadar quickly ran over from another carriage. The two little guys quickly stepped on a chair to take a look, and then quickly squatted on the ground to take a look.

"We're all here."

"No problem, you can drive now!"

The conductor breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's start. We will reach Dum Port in two or three hours. Get ready to enjoy the vacation that the prophet has given you, respected nuns!"

After a few minutes, the heavy train finally started moving, slowly accelerating between the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds, and heading towards the end of the distant sky.

The nuns' vacation has officially begun!

The great prophet arranged holidays for the nuns. During the hottest time of the year, the nuns could go on vacation to the beach or even visit the other side of the Kingdom of Stars.

There are two holidays every year, one is summer vacation and the other is winter vacation.

Except for some nuns who take care of children and stay behind, the rest of the nuns can enjoy this holiday.

Two holidays are enough for rotating duty, and those who stay on duty will be changed every year to keep it fair and just.

Torrevi didn't like running around. She had been to Dum Port in the spring, so during the hot summer vacation, she didn't go to the beach at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the sea breeze. Instead, she stayed on the cool mountain to enjoy the occasional quietness, waiting for the children to return chirping after having fun.

For Torrevi, this may be a vacation in itself.

The nuns sang songs and ate snacks on the train, looking at the scenery on both sides, and after a nap, they arrived at Dum Port, a place they rarely visited.

Dum Port is very lively and bustling with people and elves.

There are also many people in Ironforge, but they are different. The people here wear novel clothes, and both men and women give people the feeling of city people.

Of course, the nuns in their nun uniforms are also extraordinary, and people look at them with respect.

This made many young nuns who had never seen the world very excited, and even their walking posture became a little different.

Yubao and Yuguai tiptoed down from the car, breathed in the sea breeze with the smell of sea water, and immediately became energetic.

"Whoa!"

"Aww!"

The fish treasure and the fish monster ran towards the seashore.

Lana, who was already an adult, called out from behind: "Yubao! Remember to come to the monastery to find us! Go there early!"

Yu Bao must have heard it and responded to Lana, but Lana might not have heard it, as she and the other nuns were busy unloading the goods, moving the clothes and toiletries used in the past few days onto the ox cart.

The fish treasure and the fish monster quickly ran to the seaside.

After the fish monster entered the water, it suddenly burst out with tremendous strength, and its tail and arms blew a large amount of sea water onto the shore.

Yubao started running after a long absence. His light body quickly dived into the sea water and then swam towards the waves ahead.

There are often huge waves on the seaside in summer.

The fish monster likes to burst out its strength, rushing towards the waves and venting the wild power accumulated in its body.

Yubao soon appeared under a wave. His light body jumped directly out of the sea water, and his feet stepped directly on the sea water and rushed to the new wave.

"Ow~"

Yubao played on the slide on the huge waves.

A few thousand meters away from the sea, a large ship can be seen slowly approaching.

Driven by its densely packed and wide sails that were over fifty meters high, this sea giant approached the Yuyi Harbor like a monster.

In a room on the upper level of the giant ship, a young woman with bright eyes, white teeth, black hair and fair skin looked at the approaching shore and soon heard the sounds of the sea creatures playing.

Meiqier looked intently at the coast not far away. Just a few hundred meters away, a young sea creature was playing happily on the waves. Even though it felt being watched, this strange sea creature was not afraid at all.

Compared to this brave sea creature, another larger sea warrior under the water was too timid and scared, as if he was terrified of the wizards on the ship.

Soon, a horn sounded nearby, and the warships from the Star Kingdom approached.

When Yubao saw the warship approaching, he quickly hid in the sea. When he reappeared, he had brought the fish monster to the fishing beach near the monastery, ready to go home for dinner.

More than a dozen wizards quickly flew out from the high tower of Wing Harbor, and hundreds of warriors quickly emerged from the crowded and narrow buildings ahead.

The warriors wore the same clothes and carried the same weapons.

The heights and hair colors of these warriors were all the same. To Mercier and the nobles on the ship, who were not very good at distinguishing the people of Loven, the wizards here seemed terribly powerful!
Several wizards soon got off the giant ship. These wizards who left Dum Port last year successfully returned to Dum Port and brought with them the princess and nobles of the Suman Islands.

With the guarantee of the wizards, this huge wooden ship that had not been built in the Star Kingdom was able to approach the coast and attracted the attention of the shipbuilders.

The great prophet is not here. He went to Snow Mountain Castle to inspect the situation these days. Saint Bull is not here either. In the summer, Bull goes to the southern forest to treat the locals. This season is when the forest people are most likely to get sick.

However, many things are handled by special people, and Stana quickly welcomed the envoys from the East on behalf of Lawrence.

"Please stay here for two days to relieve the fatigue accumulated from the long journey and meet our great prophet in the best possible manner."

Meiqier was not the person in charge of this envoy. The person in charge of this matter was an oriental noble wizard.

Gularida said: "Okay, please inform His Majesty Crow Feather as soon as possible."

Stana nodded calmly, "This is what I should do. Our army has already conquered many places in the south. Dum Harbor is also home to many nobles and merchants from all over the world. You can walk around freely, but don't get into any unpleasant situations with them."

"In the Ice Land, we respect all guests and are willing to provide help within our capacity. However, as a land given by God, the Ice Land will give priority to providing protection to God's people. Please treat the people you meet as the people of the prophet, not the slaves of your country."

Gulalida had already learned about the strength of this side from the luxurious envoys sent by Lawrence, and had already acknowledged the strength of this side no matter what.

Not only him, but also the nobles and wizard families of the Suman Islands recognized the strength of this side.

A powerful kingdom composed of tens of thousands of wizards is undoubtedly a terrifying force.

"We will." Gularida was willing to respect the rules here, "Please tell the powerful Majesty Crow Feather that we are here with gifts."

Stana said, "I will. Please separate the men and women. Women can stay in the monastery. The nuns of the Prophet are on summer vacation recently, so they may be a little noisy."

At the old wizard's nod, Mercier quickly followed with the rest of the maids and female nobles.

Under the leadership of Stana, the veiled oriental princess boarded a steam carriage, and dozens of people moved slowly towards the Dum Port Monastery a few hundred meters away.

Mercie and the noble women nearby sat on the leather seats, trying hard to keep their balance and accepting the strange feeling brought by the shaking and moving of the steam carriage.

This is a vehicle that is more stable than a boat or a sheep cart, and there are no animals to pull it.

Is this the mysterious witchcraft of the West?
Meiqier soon saw the luxurious monastery walls not far away. On the tower carved with wings and female patterns, a circular magic circle appeared!
The iron swords in the magic circle were shaking a little bit, and two iron swords of different lengths formed strange symbols in the magic circle.

"That's a clock." Stana noticed the looks in their eyes and explained, "It's a tool we use to calculate time. It can remind people at the port when to work and when to rest and eat."

Meiqier can understand the language here. She studied the language seriously before coming here.

"There is so much witchcraft here, and it's very powerful!"

Meiqier didn't know how to describe it specifically. In her simple vocabulary, there was no concept of "popularization".

Stana didn't know how to explain the specific things. She felt that there was too much to say if she wanted to distinguish between science and witchcraft.

"We have many wizards and ordinary people here, all of whom are loyal believers of the great prophet."

Mei Xier nodded and volunteered, "I am a gift to the prophet."

"Then congratulations, if you can be noticed by my master and stay, you will become the happiest oriental woman." Stana congratulated expressionlessly and didn't want to say more.

Meiqier wanted to know more, but they had already arrived at the place.

Stana got out of the car and began to lead the gifts to where they should go.

The monastery had received the news in advance and quickly invited these foreign women to take a bath and rest after they arrived.

Even in summer, people here don't take cold showers.

There is a bathroom here specially for entertaining VIPs. Although it is not particularly large, it is still about 50 square meters.

Meiqier sat alone in the luxurious big bath, and a special maid came to wash her body.

There are smooth shampoos and fragrant floral shower gels here.

The experiment of washing clothes had already ended. Faced with great pressure, the elves demonstrated trustworthy efforts and wisdom. By absorbing the wisdom and research results developed over the years, they quickly developed a shampoo that combines perfume and cleaning functions, as well as a shower gel that keeps the body moisturized.

These are still exclusively supplied to a few people, and the current production is very small. The ones given to Meiqier are the spare supplies from Lawrence's home in Dum Port.

Stana has the authority to use these reserve materials, and if she thinks they are valuable, she will use them.

When Meiqier was about to faint from the soaking, she was taken out by the maids to clean the dirt on her body. She then changed into the beautiful clothes here, and her old clothes were taken out to be washed and dried.

After taking a bath, it’s time to eat. The shaved ice made of iceberg snow and berries is very suitable for this hot summer.

There will be more rich and luxurious delicious food later.

While Mercie began to enjoy and understand the wonderful things of this wealthy kingdom, Fish Bao and Fish Monster were holding their breath in a bucket of hot water.

The water tank was hot after being exposed to the sun all day. Yubao's head was above the water and his whole body was soaked in the hot water. Fine beads of sweat soon appeared on his head.

"Woooooooooooo!" Yubao soon couldn't stand it anymore, and jumped up happily onto the wooden board, then drank the sour juice there.

The fish monster also quickly climbed out of the water tank. It was more heat-resistant than the fish treasure, so this little heat was nothing to it.

Because Lana disappeared after bringing the juice, it was difficult to divide the three bottles of juice, so Yubao and Yuguai decided to take a gamble.

Yubao lost and could only drink one glass.

But Yubao was very smart. He quickly took the empty cup to the kitchen to ask for another bottle.

The fish monster wouldn't open its mouth to speak. After drinking two bottles, it went to sleep by the sink in the cool corner of the room.

There was no need for Yu Bao to worry about Lana's food. She soon came out from the kitchen burping and bringing with her two elf kids who also had round bellies.

"Yubao, are you full?"

When Lana returned to the house and saw Yubao washing his feet, she asked casually and said generously, "There are a lot of boiled eggs in the kitchen. I can get you a few."

Yubao was full, so he shook his head and continued to wash his feet with his hands, "Awoo~"

Lana felt sleepy after eating and soon fell asleep on the mat.

After washing his feet, Yubao poured the water into the sink next to him, then jumped onto the bed and lay down to take a nap.

For Yubao and Yuguai, it didn’t matter whether the Eastern wizard came or not.

Even the fish monsters who are afraid of the Eastern wizard can sleep well under the protection of the fish treasure and many wizards and ships nearby. (End of this chapter)
