In the castle hall at dawn
"Master, are you going out? Do you need me to go with you?" Adelaide asked, watching Ed prepare to leave.
"No need, Adelaide, I have some business to attend to in Red Iron Village," Ed replied without turning around, standing at the doorway.
"Lord Edd, why did you sneak out like that?"
Ed had to turn back now. He was genuinely annoyed; Carly really didn't know how to talk to people. "Carly, I'm going out openly and honestly, okay?"
"Is that so, Lord Ed? I think you just want to sneak out." Carly finished speaking and continued to drink her porridge.
"That's what you think, Carly. Others don't think that way, Adelaide, don't you think?" Ed looked at Adelaide, hoping she could teach Carly a lesson and say a fair word for her.
Adelaide smiled. "I think... Carly is right."
"Hehehe!" Carly laughed.
Ed's vision went black, and he walked towards the door.
The little incident in the morning did not affect Adelaide and Carly's mood; on the contrary, it made them even happier.
On the way to the Oak family's house, Carly still asked with the curiosity of a child, "Sister Adelaide, why is Lord Ed sneaking off to Red Iron Village?"
"Who knows, Carly? Maybe she's doing something more important."
"Okay, never mind him, let's go post the notice to buy pearls." Carly took out a piece of paper with the notice to buy pearls written on it, since they were just ahead of the entrance to Peach Blossom Village.
The billboard was quite clean, with not many purchase requests on it, though it wasn't completely empty.
The ad for honey that Adelaide posted last time is still there, all alone.
Yes,
There was nothing on it except for that piece of paper.
That slightly yellowish surface
Everything speaks of its loneliness.
*Smack!*
Carly placed the note with the pearl's information next to it. Now it was no longer alone.
"Adelaide, how is it? Isn't it neatly pasted?" Carly was very satisfied with the neatly pasted paper. It made her feel very comfortable.
"Great job, Carly. Hopefully, your work is beautiful and we can learn something from it."
Adelaide didn't care how neatly the posters were put up; she only cared whether anyone could find what she was looking for.
Oak House in Xia Taoyuan Village
"Oak, you just bought these stools, right? They look very new, very nice!"
Adelaide knows a bit about the stools in the current territory; such a stool costs quite a few copper dragon coins, so it's rather impressive that Cedar bought four at once.
"Yes, yes, Miss Adelaide, there's really no room at home, so we couldn't buy a few."
In fact, Peach Blossom Village is now the richest place in the entire territory.
"Miss Adelaide, have some water." Just as Adelaide was about to speak, Mint, Oak's wife, brought her some water.
The water was in a bowl; there were no cups.
Mint, Oak's wife, is a very beautiful woman; no wonder Oak Barrel is so lovely.
This is the first time Adelaide has seen mint; Adelaide residents rarely visit farms in the past.
"Miss Adelaide, this is my wife, Mint. She used to always prefer staying at home, and well, she still does." Oak quickly introduced her.
"Aunt Mint, it's a pleasure to meet you." There aren't many people in Adelaide who don't know Mint, but she is one of them.
"Miss Adelaide, you flatter me. It should be me who is honored to meet you."
Adelaide smiled. "Aunt Mint, where's the oak barrel? I brought him some things he likes."
Mint smiled and said, "Him? He went with some other people to look for honey. I heard there's a safe place near the windmill mill where you can find honey."
Adelaide was puzzled. "Why is he looking for honey?"
Mint smiled again. "Weren't you looking to buy?"
