Chapter 675: Xius's Day
When he opened his eyes, Xius found himself lying on the bed.
The quilt cover was produced by Castel Second Textile Factory. Although it was not as smooth as silk, Xius liked it very much.
Zeus stood up while yawning, and casually pulled open the curtains, and the morning sunlight instantly poured into the room.
Zeus narrowed his eyes and quickly pulled the curtains back halfway. The sunlight was not so glaring anymore. He looked up and out the window.
The warm sea breeze blew up the curtains, and a few seagulls flew past the window, circled a few times over the top of the cargo ship at the port, and then suddenly rushed towards the students who were preparing to go to class at the dock, picked up a piece of French fry, and started cursing.
Downstairs, a team of night watchmen from the secret order had just finished their work and were heading towards the fried fish shop. The petite Bettys, wearing an apron, was putting fish into the fryer.
There was a holy book under her feet - originally there should have been four, but she had grown two centimeters taller that year, and the holy book had become three times thicker.
Next to the fried fish shop, a banshee was selling newspapers on the street. Workers and crusaders passed by each other and greeted each other with a smile. They had been sitting in the same classroom scratching their heads not long ago.
Hughes raised his eyes and saw that the entire Blood Harbor was filled with busy people, chimneys standing one after another, factories connected to factories, and railways connected to railways.
This is also an industrial city.
“That’s great.”
Even though it is something he sees every day, Xiu Si feels genuinely happy every time he sees it.
Obviously, they were just ordinary things in the previous life, and could even be considered as backward production capacity and environmental pollution, but here, they are the symbol of hope.
There were ironed newspapers and tea on the table in the room. Hughes picked them up and sighed.
Old Connor was extremely stubborn in these matters. Even though he had dismissed all the servants, the old butler would still do these things, so Zeus simply let him do it.
While flipping through the newspaper, Xius brought the black tea to his mouth, but then he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
He first flipped through the newspaper cautiously to confirm that it was not Nini's special edition before he put the tea into his mouth.
"Well, two test sites were bombed in Gem Bay, the hospital in Castel was overcrowded and urgently needed expansion, and the Inquisition in Blood Harbor had an unsuccessful strike. Good, another peaceful day."
Putting the newspaper aside, Xiu Si walked out of the house with satisfaction and prepared to go to the cafeteria downstairs for breakfast.
This has been his recent habit. Now he no longer has breakfast delivered to his house, and eating breakfast in the cafeteria can also make him feel more homely.
As for safety - what Zeus fears least is poisoning. With the symbiotic contract, it is basically impossible to poison him.
What's more, there are banshees as personal guards.
Thinking of the banshee, Zeus turned around and walked towards the banshee's duty room.
The duty room was noisy, and there was a pile of playing cards on the table in the middle - that was made by Hughes, but unfortunately the subsequent situation was no longer under his control.
After all, the banshee has six hands, so she can play Landlord with herself.
The Banshee created a new way of playing with extremely complicated rules. Zeus had watched it before and felt that it was more like a fight than a card game.
"Four circles in a row to the tip!"
"don't want."
"Seven Ks, five sixes, four threes, and two jokers!" Nini threw a pile of cards on the table with a snap.
"Can I take that, Xiao Wang? Take it away, take it away!" Monica slammed the table angrily.
Xius watched Nini's six hands flying, and when Monica wasn't paying attention, he secretly changed five cards, threw two under the table, took a handful of French fries into his mouth, and wiped the oil on his hands from the tip of Monica's tail.
Monica was still staring at the cards in her hand with her eyes wide open at this time, and didn't notice Nini's little movements at all.
Hughes poked Monica in the waist.
"Hey!" Monica's tail tip tensed up, and she turned to look at Hughes angrily: "What are you doing! Don't disturb me playing cards!"
While Monica turned her head, Nini slipped the two cards under the table into her hand. Now it was Xius's turn to open his eyes wide.
Monica turned back to look at the cards in her hand and tugged at her hair in annoyance: "It's all your fault. I feel like my cards are getting worse and worse!"
"Monica, I have a suggestion for you."
"Um?"
Seeing Nini's hands starting to play tricks again, Xiu Si said solemnly: "I suggest you throw the cards in her face and then rush over to beat her up."
Nini froze.
"Yeah that makes sense!"
Xius lowered his head, avoiding Monica who was flying in the air, and ignored the clanging sounds behind him. He took out a can of ice drink from the freezer and walked out of the duty room humming a song.
“Do one good deed every day.”
Unfortunately, as a lord, although he had a complete civil service system to assist him, Xius still had a lot of things to do. Even during his free time for a meal, he approved two reports.
But he had no complaints, because he had much more free time than the prince next to him.
The prince was also in the cafeteria, and was much busier.
While he was eating, he was also listening to Euan's report. Galahad and several civil servants were queuing next to him.
After all, the prince's territory is larger and he is more short of manpower - he does not have Castel's complete education system, and often has to compete with a group of officials who have not received much education.
Xius sighed. He was so busy, but he still didn't ask anyone to deliver the food. He had to come to this cafeteria. It was really painstaking.
Sure enough, when he saw Prince Xiusi, his eyes lit up immediately. He threw the people around him aside and came over immediately.
"Come on, what's the matter? Are you waiting for me here just for me?"
The prince grinned, but instead of answering, he asked, "How is the envoy you sent to the Mechanical Temple?"
"I'm not sure yet. It's too far from here, so it's hard to pass on the news."
Well, speaking of which, it’s time to log into the worker Xius’ account and check out the chat group.
The last time Zeus went to see it, there seemed to be no progress. The Mechanical Temple might be stalling for time. I don’t know what they are thinking, but maybe there will be some changes this time.
The prince nodded. He hoped for a quick result. Whether the talks succeeded or failed, he could start a war.
It's been a year since he last fought a war, and he feels really uncomfortable all over.
After finishing his meal and refusing the stargazing cake offered by Monica, Hughes returned to the office.
But today his office door was not opened early.
"Ash, I have a headache. I need to rest for a while. Someone come and stop them for me. I'll have them come later."
After giving the instructions, Xius found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
Worker Hughes, land!
Soon, Zeus in the North opened his eyes.
