  "Ah - open your mouth." Panni sat at the dinner table, opening his mouth like a fool, letting Shikoru put a spoonful of food into his mouth, then closing his mouth and chewing randomly before swallowing. The girl had a happy expression on her face, while Vika watched with a smile beside them, feeling warm in Panni's heart.

  Although he still felt awkward in his heart, the atmosphere made him temporarily relax, and the harmonious atmosphere continued until after dinner.

  "Penny, the people of Laisheim have never had a good impression of the Serians." After dinner, Penny came to the girl's room, but saw that the girl was in a depressed mood: "You're going on an adventure, but I can't help you with anything, and can only wait for your return here."

  Panny lay beside the girl, unintentionally scrutinizing her from head to toe. After being handled by the boss's wife, his eyes seemed to have even more piercing power, and ordinary clothes could no longer block his line of sight. Not having seen Hickory for six months, he now took a look and found that in this period of rapid development, the girl's figure had visibly become plumper, perhaps also shedding her original gloomy mood, her thin cheeks had filled out with baby fat, and nasolabial folds had begun to appear. Only then did he realize that this girl was also very lovely: "Hmm, don't worry, I'll definitely come back."

  Heiko's lips moved slightly, and her eyes immediately turned red. She leaned in close to Penny.

  Feeling the girl's heartbeat, the same hug, the romantic scene in the bathroom floated back into Penny's mind, and the guilt in her heart resurfaced: "Xikole, actually... I may not be worthy of your liking."

  "Do you dislike me?" Hickory narrowed his eyes, his fine gaze meeting Penny's.

  "Of course I don't dislike you, but I'm afraid that one day you'll get tired of me." Penny Yang gazed at the ceiling: "I'm not as good as you imagine."

  "That's impossible." Hickory said firmly: "In my heart, you are the best person."

  "There's nothing that can't be done." Pennie's mood suddenly became a bit down, because as he said these words, he suddenly realized that this was just coaxing a young girl, and his own behavior felt even more awkward.

  "So, before I start disliking you, will you keep liking me?" Hickel felt Penny's low mood and fell silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

  The boy nodded slightly.

  "That's enough." Hickory wrapped his arms around Penny's neck: "I will never dislike you forever."

  "Kikoru." After a while, the young man suddenly spoke up.

  "Really?!"

  "If one day you feel tired of it, be sure to tell me clearly, this is very important."

  "Don't worry, that day will never come." The girl said confidently.

  Pan Ni was moved at the same time and secretly smiled bitterly.

  At this moment, the door opened and a delicate face peeked in:

  "Penny, I've thought of a way, let's go together."

  "Going out?" Penny was somewhat surprised, didn't expect the boss's wife to be so efficient.

  "En." Veeka nodded: "To make a trip, just within Laisemann's territory."

  "Oh." Panni didn't hesitate either, following the boss's wife out of the inn. Outside, a horse carriage had already been waiting for them. He turned his head to take one last look and saw the girl waving at him from the window. He smiled slightly and got into the carriage, sitting naturally beside Vika.

  "Do you really like her?" Vika asked, noticing the gaze by the hotel window.

  "She needs me." Penny's gaze softened as she looked out the carriage window at the fading figure: "That's all."

  "Tsk, truly irresponsible remarks and twisted self-love." Vika sighed: "You can actually say such things in front of me with a sense of reason, you must be a promiscuous guy, I'm starting to regret it now."

  Penny lowered her head, feeling that there was no way to refute such words.

  "Alright, alright." Vika smiled: "I didn't mean to blame you."

  Pan Ni was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she just remained silent.

  He boldly said that he had the ambition to do great things, but found that he didn't have such a thick skin; however, in his heart, he also didn't have too much guilt, possibly because after dying and coming back to life once, he didn't put ethics in his heart.

  Vika suddenly stretched out her left hand and slapped Penny's head hard: "Stop thinking about those things, it's still a week or so away from Mu Shu Ti Er. Now I'm going to teach you the Komi language, which might take up most of your time. If you don't want to be mistaken for a Ser person as soon as you open your mouth when you get there, you'd better pay attention."

  Mushan Tiel, Panni went through the data of this city in his mind. This is Laiserman's South Gate, which has always been the number one target for Sel's northern attack. In history, it was besieged by Sel's water and land army five times, but finally defended every time. The people in the city have a strong sense of hostility towards the Sel people. Anyone who shows even a little bit of Sel appearance will be subject to strict inspection.

  Penny understood the necessity of learning another dialect for disguise, but she also noticed a detail in Veeka's words:

  "Are you a Komi?"

  "Alright then." Vika hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I'm from Ximen."

  "Xīmén?" Pān Ní furrowed her brow, Jù Lóng Hǎi Wān was a place as notorious as Sài ěr Dìqū in Fēilún, and Xīmén had a famous saying "Everything has its price, everything can be bought."

  From this sentence, we can slightly glimpse what kind of city Ximen City is. Including the entire Dragon Bay, it's a paradise for smugglers, pirates and black-hearted merchants, famous throughout Ferelden for its chaotic laws and bloody desire for gold.

  In fact, compared to some parts of Dragon Bay, Sel is relatively clean.

  "Our family's rule is that if a member wants to prove their worth, they must leave home alone and earn 30,000 standard gold coins by the age of 22. If not, they have to accept the family's arrangement and do some disgusting things." Vika wrinkled her nose, showing great disgust: "I hate those arrangements."

  "For example, what if you were married off to someone you didn't like?" Pennie suddenly smiled: "But you sold yourself to me for only five gold coins."

  "Because I don't dislike you." Vika smiled: "Come... let's start class."

  "Not bad?......" Panni secretly remembered the large number of 30,000 gold coins he had just heard.

  At the same time, he also understood that the boss's family in the Giant Dragon Coast area must have considerable power. 30,000 standard gold coins, which is 300,000 Beren, can buy dozens of decent taverns in Sel or hire hundreds of skilled warriors to fight for them, and it's just a test question? Then, how terrifying is this family's financial resources?

  However, his thoughts were soon drowned out by the circumlocutions of the Komi-Zyrian vernacular, which was at least somewhat incomprehensible to the hundreds of miles away Selkups.
