Chapter 190 The Unfamiliar Agent from Lotte City
"Officer... sir?" Bebelo couldn't help but rub her eyes, only to find that she wasn't mistaken. The person flying behind a group of commoners was a nobleman dressed in an officer's uniform.
The unfamiliar official was accompanied by several servants, and the flower fairies dressed as maids had several woven baskets of various sizes hanging on their arms. The baskets were full of space stones, and the obvious spatial fluctuations attracted the attention of the nearby patrol teams.
"Bebelo! Has a magical beast from another continent teleported over?!" The patrol captain, leading his team, had already raised his magic staff high. Upon seeing the official hovering in mid-air with his arms crossed, he froze. He immediately cast a sobering spell on himself. The magical light faded, but the scene before him remained real. His eyes widened in disbelief. "By the Goddess of Flowers! Where did this official come from?!"
"We've come from Lotte City!" A clear, crisp voice came from afar, and the little flower fairy spoke loudly as she flew faster towards them.
Wearing a brightly colored cloak that clearly came from the land of sin, the underage flower fairy landed beside the official with a big smile, then tugged at his uniform jacket with considerable force, making the official stagger: "Dad! Have you forgotten what Mom said!"
The unfamiliar clerk nodded expressionlessly: "...I remember."
He turned to the two patrol captains, whose eyes were gleaming, and nodded again:
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am the official in charge of affairs in Lotte City. My wife is the city lord of Lotte City. After receiving the caravan from the Land of Sin, she ordered all citizens to relocate to the Land of Sin. This is all the supplies that Lotte City currently has. Please present them to Her Highness the Princess. Also, please do not worry about the patrolman's questioning. The city lord of Lotte City will take full responsibility. I hope the Land of Sin can continue to receive civilians from Lotte City as usual."
The warrior with pinkish-white hair, who appeared to be the patrol leader, quickly left. Kikik thought he would have to wait outside the city for a while longer before receiving a reply, but unexpectedly, before the servants could even hand over the woven baskets full of space stones to the patrol members, the warrior flew back and said to him:
"Thank you for your hard work. Fairy Flower understands the city lord's predicament very well. The Land of Sin will send a guard team to Lotte City to bring the city lord over. You can just lead everyone to queue up and enter the city normally."
Qiqi was momentarily bewildered; he couldn't quite understand what the other person meant—what did it mean to send out a guard team to bring the city lord over?
The youngest daughter thanked him repeatedly with excitement, but her clothes were tugged hard again. Qiqi Ke came to his senses and quickly said, "By the Flower Goddess! Thank you, Flower Fairy!"
As he joined the queue to enter the city, Qiqi Ke gazed at the tall, pure white city walls ahead, his vision blurring without him realizing it. He wiped his eyes and murmured, "Nana Jia, the Flower Fairy will send a guard to pick you up. You must take good care of yourself..."
After passing through the snow-white high wall formed by the defensive barrier, Kikik, along with his little daughter and servants, was led to the shore of a shimmering lake.
Upon seeing the shimmering lake, Kikik clearly heard his servants gasp in unison. In fact, he was so shocked that he almost bumped into his daughter. Lotte City was located on the banks of the Garnar River, and he had personally witnessed the river's water level drop again and again. If the Garnar River hadn't dried up to the point of exposing its riverbed, Nanaja wouldn't have made the decision to move all the flower fairies in the city. And yet, this place of sin still had such a large lake!
A small grove of trees grew sparsely by the lake. The hot and dry climate had caused these trees to wither. If it weren't for the yellowed branches and shriveled leaves, Qiqi would have thought that the lake was a hallucination!
Many flower fairies had already landed in the clearing in the woods, all carrying tools and busily digging holes. Kikik soon noticed that these flower fairies, who were digging with their heads down, would occasionally raise their heads to glance at the shimmering lake in the distance, and then, as if drawing strength from it, they would lower their heads and continue working.
"The temperature underground is much lower than on the surface, so we'll have to trouble everyone to dig caves as temporary shelters," the flower fairy who led them over smiled apologetically. "Once the temperature drops a bit, we'll organize everyone to build new shelters, so you won't have to live underground forever. Don't worry about food and water; they'll be provided every day. The lake water over there is also drinkable. Oh, and if any of your relatives or friends get a fever, please don't hide it. We have a special medical room that we'll provide for everyone to use free of charge!"
Watching the tall flower fairy fly away, Kiki wondered if she was an official from the Land of Sin? But she wasn't wearing a uniform, so if she wasn't an official—
"Daddy, Daddy! Come here quickly!" The little girl's call came over, and Qiqi responded and hurriedly flew over.
After receiving the digging tools from another equally tall flower fairy, Kikik and his servants worked hard to dig a hole. They hurriedly dug a large enough hole before nightfall. By this time, Kikik knew that the flower fairy who had led the way earlier was not an official, because many tall and strong flower fairies were leading the way for the newcomers. There couldn't possibly be so many officials in one territory!
After the burrow was dug, the youngest daughter flew back, dragging the distributed supplies with her.
There are two large, light, thin, and transparent square sheets. One is used as a ceiling above the hole in the ground, and the other is laid on the ground as a floor. When it gets dark, the transparent square sheets emit a soft glow, illuminating the dark hole. There is also a large sheet of soft, cool-to-the-touch green leather. When it is laid on the transparent floor, it becomes a cool and refreshing carpet. You can lie on it and have a nice, comfortable nap.
As night fell, the grove of trees by the lake emitted a glow, for the trees were covered with runes of light. In the dappled shadows, a tall flower fairy landed at the entrance to the cave and raised his voice: "Dinner's here! Eat before you sleep!"
The youngest daughter had already flown over happily. Qiqi sat cross-legged on the cool leather carpet, reaching out to wake the servant beside him, while his eyes crinkled into a smile—thankfully, Nana hadn't listened to him and insisted on ordering everyone to move to the Land of Sin... The Flower Fairy will surely be able to save Nana!
