The full name of this small market is the college market, the whole street on the left side of the college is occupied by this market, the red, green and green restaurants on both sides of the street show the prosperity of this market, many people who are not hungry smell those tempting aromas, but also can't help but stop and take a closer look, if it is a glutton, maybe you will enter the small restaurant to eat a bowl of fragrant stew, the stew restaurant here is the most famous in the city of El.I remember Fanny brought me here to eat a beautiful stew once, it seems to be when I bought leather leg guards for Tracy, at that time I always liked to be bored at home, not very fond of going out on the street, I remember that I even drank the soup into my stomach, it was very delicious, and I can really remember Fanny sitting at the small table by the window, smiling at me eating.Later, I came to this small market, and although it was a bit far from my house, I thought it was worth it for the delicious stew.But now, I'm a magic apprentice in the Demon Court of the War Academy, and I have been attending classes every day in the academy just across the wall from it, and I haven't been here for so long.Now, holding Ying Li's hand and wandering around the small market, I didn't expect this small shop to come into my sight again, but my mood was completely different.In fact, one of the main reasons why I love this small shop is that the stew is authentic Devil Antelope meat from the Pai Plateau, although it is frozen, the texture and taste still make me feel very satisfied, and it reminds me of many things from the past.I've always wanted to bring someone to this shop and share a bowl of delicious stew with me and ask me to tell us about my old life.However, as the pace of life continues to increase, this thought has been forgotten by me, until today, standing at the door of the small shop, my memories deposited in the bottom of my heart are awakened by this familiar fragrance, like a stone thrown into my heart lake, ripples on the calm and waveless lake."
Would you like to go in and try the stew here, I remember Fanny brought me here when I was a child, and I thought it was delicious, and I don't know if the taste has changed now!"
I saw that there were still a few empty tables in the shop, so I asked Ying Li.Ying Li has a soft temperament and rarely refuses me, although it is not yet time to eat at this time, but when he sees me propose, he readily agrees.Residents of the city of El are accustomed to having dinner when it gets completely dark.At this time, there are so many people in this small shop, and it can be seen that the business of the small shop is very prosperous.We sat down by the window, and I thought it would be a date with Ying Li, but now it was like a small party, with the three beautiful girls Becky, Helena, and Lagertis sitting across from us, and the people eating in the small shop were all looking at us.No way, Helena's fairy-like beautiful face is very eye-catching wherever she goes, although she no longer uses powder, but most of the diners in this small shop are students of our college, and now, they can meet the campus goddess here, and the excitement is indescribable.Those exaggerated laughter, some people will suddenly speak in an aggravated tone, and some people will talk together about this year's water polo game, about midterm exams, and about wild adventures after the end of the term.I knew it was all about trying to get Helena's attention, but Helena, who sat across from me, always had a habit of lowering her head, her snow-white neck slender, and she looked carefully at the bowl of smoothies on the table, as if she couldn't hear anything.Ying Li was curious to look around at the exotic furnishings of the shop, and her eyes fell on an oil painting hanging on the wall, which was the rushing Urutu River, and several orcs were ferrying in the rushing water with a kayak, which was very vivid.I said to Ying Li: "That's the Ulutu River, its birthplace is the glacier on the top of the Great Snow Mountain, the sacred mountain of the beast tribe, it is the river formed by the continuous melting of the snow there, which runs through the wasteland at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau, cuts off the Yelian Mountain Range from it, flows through the western wilderness of the blood wolf clan, and finally arrives at the Baipu Cliff and joins the Benma River at the foot of the plateau mountain, the water here is cold and biting all year round, even the strong body of the orcs does not dare to swim in the river" "Ah!
Is there really such a magnificent river?
The grassland scenery on the shore is really beautiful, I always want to ride a horse on the real grassland, hey!
”Countless stars suddenly appeared in Ying Li's eyes, she looked at the beautiful scenery in the oil painting with envy, and then said to me with amazement: "Painters can always depict the scenery beautifully, maybe really standing there, it may not be as wonderful as the painting, maybe the mood is different, the scenery in the eyes will be different." ”I thought that one day I would return to the Pai Plateau, for there was my brother Kuz, and I would definitely go and see him.So I said, "When we graduate, I'll take you around the Pai Plateau?"
”"AhhAll right.But I've heard that the orcs on the Pai Plateau are very vicious, aren't you afraid?
”Ying Li asked me a little worriedly.To her one-sided words, I smiled and shook my head and said: "Many orcs are still very friendly to humans, not as fierce as you think, when I was very young" Ying Li and her girlfriends tasted the stew, while patiently listening to me tell the story of my childhood, I feel that now I have developed such an ambiguous relationship with Ying Li, one step closer than good friends, and they are very good for each other, but I don't know anything about her life experience, and she has never asked me about my past, I want her to know a complete me.She listened very attentively, her dark eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and sometimes she was always able to unintentionally reveal an elegant temperament, which made me feel that her appearance was not as ordinary as I had seen.Becky said that she also traveled to many places with her family when she was a child, and spent two years in Haiyinsi, but unfortunately she was too young to remember many things, unlike me who kept everything in my heart.Ying Li didn't mention anything about his childhood, just listened to us talk with a smile.Looking out of the glass window, looking out the window on the street, there were many students among the pedestrians coming and going, and I found that their clothes were not only the uniforms of the War College, but also the students wearing the uniforms of Stans College, and the streets were crowded with vendors who set up stalls, and the goods sold were also dazzling, most of the goods were related to the Academy, just like the various protective equipment that was often used in the Warrior Academy, or some exquisite weapons, as well as some ordinary magic herbs and some blank magic paper.When we walked out of the restaurant, Becky quietly pulled my sleeve and put her face to my ear, she had a very unique body fragrance on her body, which made my nose itch a little, she didn't care what Ying Li would think, she put her face very close and asked me, "Jia, what did we eat just now?"
”"Devil Antelope Meat!"
I replied, Becky, a little surprised, and asked me, "Isn't that a very expensive demon antelope on the Pai Plateau?"
”The magic antelope skin is a best-selling product in the imperial capital, and many magic paper processing workshops use magic antelope skin, these magic antelope skins are sold for about sixty to seventy silver pieces on the Pai Plateau, but the price will be doubled when it is shipped to Sloit, many people think that the magic antelope skin is a very expensive item, so the corresponding magic antelope meat should also be very expensive, in fact, the magic antelope meat in this store is not expensive at all.The reason is very simple, in the hunting season on the Pai Plateau, the skinned demon antelope in the depths of the wasteland can be seen everywhere, which has to follow a hunting team, then it means that there is endless demon antelope meat, in recent years, with the continuous development and change of the orc tribe, those demon antelope meat is not like before, after skinning the sheep, it is thrown everywhere, but directly sold to the caravan behind it.Over the years, the rise of canned lunch has greatly solved the embarrassing situation that the orc tribe can only enter but not leave, and there are also some new industries, parallel frozen meat is one of them, if these demon antelope meat takes the land route, let those thunder rhinoceros beasts carry it from the plateau, and the cost does not know how many times it will be doubled.The clever merchants came up with a solution, which was to use the power of ice magic to freeze the meat of the Fresh Demon Antelope into frozen meat pieces, and then cut down a large amount of wood on Yelian Mountain, hollowed out the huge logs, stuffed them with frozen meat in the middle, and then pushed these logs full of frozen meat into the Ulutu River, and let it go down the river, directly from the Hundred Waterfalls Cliff.El City is not too far from the Galloping Horse River, so a large amount of demon antelope meat poured into the Grimm Empire, which seriously impacted the meat market of the Grimm Empire, and the demon antelope meat here is definitely not as expensive as imagined.Walking through the small market with the bustling flow of people, there are many stall owners who are students of the academy, and they often sell very simple things, a long-used Roman sword or a half-used fist glove, I also saw a senior in a magic robe crouching in front of his stall, his stall only has two worn-out magic notes and a bottle of magic ink, he has a pair of very thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, sitting cross-legged in front of the stall and quietly looking at a magic book.Ying Li squatted down curiously, picked up a magic notebook and looked at it, and asked, "How much does this notebook sell?"
”The stall owner retracted his gaze, raised his eyes to glance at Ying Li, and said endlessly: "Thirty silver arrows, this notebook records all the symbolic knowledge that needs to be learned in the magic rune class, with it, at least you don't have to take notes in the magic rune class!"
Don't look a little shabby, just change the cover of the book, and it will look like a new one.You see that the whole notebook is bound on parchment, very thick, sister, think about it, it's definitely worth the money to buy it back!
”Ying Li picked up the bottle of magic ink again and looked at it."
Milky ink, the ink necessary for making ice archery magic scrolls, I have already sold a lot, there is only this bottle left, if you want, I will sell it to you directly for a gold, every magic apprentice's path to the master is inseparable from this ink."
The senior stall owner started selling again.I wanted to buy a bottle of milky ink for the Frost Scroll, but when I heard the price of the ink, I kept silent.I knew that magic ink was expensive, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive, so it's no wonder Yerkes kept his mouth shut about it.The further you go, the more crowded it becomes.The already narrow street was full of stalls, which was nothing, but the stalls in front were crowded with people, and I saw from a distance through the gap in the crowd that Sophie was wearing the robes of a magic apprentice, sitting at the front of the stall, and there were several magical items in front of her.There were a lot of people gathered in front of her stall.Even though her face is covered with a gray veil, it is still difficult to hide her beautiful face, maybe it was recognized by a passing student, for a while her stall was surrounded by people, Sophie's forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, it seems that it is not easy for her to close the stall and leave at this time.The crowd became crowded, I was worried that I would be separated from Ying Li, so I grabbed her hand, her face was slightly red, she didn't dare to look at me, but whispered softly to Helena on the side, but the little hand was obedient for me to hold tightly, I pulled Ying Li to the stall where Sophie was squeezing, and Becky pulled Helena to follow us closely."
It's Sophie!"
I whispered to Ying Li, Sophie is Heidi's assistant to Tutor Heidi, she is usually in charge of the daily affairs of the water magic class, so she is not too familiar with Ying Li, Ying Li heard me say this, followed my gaze, and said with some surprise: "Ah, really!
”Ying Li and I squeezed over with difficulty, standing in front of her stall, ready to say hello to Sophie, who knew that Sophie saw me at a glance, as if she had met a savior, and directly dragged me into the stall, Ying Li also screamed, and jumped into Sophie's stall with me.The look of chagrin on Sophie's face had disappeared, she looked at me with a smile and said to me in a voice that no one else could hear: "I was praying that someone could save me, but I didn't expect you to show up, hey!"
Jia, you can't die without help, I still have to sort out the magic scrolls for Tutor Heidi tomorrow's magic class at night, but I don't have time to spend it here, please!
Help, help me close the stall!
”I thought to myself: How do I know what you have on your stall, the stalls here are crowded with people.But at this time, someone in the crowd was already exclaiming: "Wow, this kid is the one who attended the dance with Teacher Sophie last time!"
”Someone else was whispering: "Helena, it's Helena, oh my God, Helena is actually dating her." ”"Fool, you dare to say that Helena is a hardcore suitor, don't you know that he has always been very close to Helena's best friend Ying Li?
They are all freshmen of this year's Demon Court, and it is normal to come together" "This roundabout tactic is well done" For a while, my old face was said to be red, and Sophie took advantage of this chaotic opportunity to bend down and hastily pack up some magic books and magic scrolls on the stall, hold them in her arms and squeeze into the crowd."
Sophie, what about the stall?
What to do with these items?
”I saw that Sophie was leaving, and asked hurriedly.She turned her head to look at me slightly, smiled at me charmingly, and said, "You help me sell it, then see you tomorrow!"
”To be continued.
