In the sea of the Fjords lies Sleeping Island

The skyline turned a pale yellow as the last of the highrise buildings was finally co sun was not visible, one could still see a streak of golden light reflected on the sea's surface by the sunset glow that passed through the clouds Only the harsh cold gusts of wind, which blew directly at one's face, gave away the fact that it was no longer autumn

"And it's done" Lotus lifted up the scarf around her neck until her ears were also covered by the soft cotton "This will be our new home once the furniture and beds are moved in"

"Fantastic!" Durat Kimshoe clapped and said "That's a lot of houses built in half a "

"Lady Tilly doesn't lie," Breeze added

"Indeed," Durat stroked his thick double chin and said "If that's the case, I' my citizens over here Oh, what's this?"

The roove-shaped parapet that was in the house Bending his body, he even stuck his head in the hole to take a look inside

"This is a warion It's called a heated brick bed" Lotus explained "It's connected to the kitchen, and hence when a fire is started in the kitchen, this bed will also turn warm "Add a wooden plank on top and cover it with linen or straw, and you can use it as a bench or a bed It'll be more comfortable than your typical furniture, especially in the current season"

"Interesting design," Durat said and glanced squarely at Lotus "If I wanted to hire you for the long terold royals would it cost?"

"What do you htly astonished

"Follow me to work in the Crescent Moon Bay There remain several wastelands which have yet to be developed in my territory Your abilities will prove extreold royals do I have to pay the 'Sleeping Spell' in order for Lady Tilly to authorize you to follow "

"Your life over there will be much better than it is here," Durat interrupted quickly "You'll get to live in the sae codo you wherever you go That's the ideal life thatas you work for me Besides, Lady Tilly has said that the requests of the 'Sleeping Spell' must be fulfilled, and I'h it is"

Lotus frowned She was not unfah verbally, he said that he was hiring her, it felt to her ht Just as she was about to bawl out a few sentences, Breeze gently tugged on her hand "Even though the requests must be fulfilled, it doesn't s that even witches can't do Besides, all parties have to approve before an agreeh? I've never seen a deal like this," Durat spoke with displeasure "Was what you said when you cast the 'Sleeping Island' mere rhetoric to make fun of us? "No one will believe or be interested in you if this goes on"

"I doubt so," souild that offers rewards, whether it be in the Fjords or the Four Kingdoms If you don't come, there will be others"

"Who speaks?" The merchant turned his head and received a rude shock "Y Your Highness Thunder!"

"I caulations of the 'Sleeping Spell' Before a contract is signed, the consent of the employee has to take into consideration the possible risks associated with the tasks They'll not be forced to venture into grave danger," Thunder said in a clear voice and laughed "Do you have an issue with this?"

"No this is definitely reasonable" Durat's facial expression restored to normal "Then I'll still have to trouble you in the future, Miss Lotus"
