Walking out of the post office in the third district of the imperial capital, the stone pavement on the street was a little hot from the sun.Under the scorching sun, the plane trees on both sides of the road drooped their leaves listlessly, and even if the wind blew, it was just a wave of heat.Caterina put her hands over her forehead and pulled me to the shade of the tree."
Why don't we go get some red bean smoothie?"
I proposed.Caterina blinked, pursed her lips slightly, and nodded slightly.There was a cold drink shop on the opposite corner, and the owner had set up a few square tables and chairs on the side of the street, each with a parasol next to it, and Caterina and I found a cool place to sit down, just enough to take in the whole street.The girl who sells red bean paste is dressed very coolly, and the ice drink here is not expensive, a full cup of shaved ice, covered with a thick layer of red bean paste, and a layer of yellow-orange-orange diced mango can only be sold for less than 20 copper plates, and a sweet smile will be served.I habitually nodded and smiled at the girl as she handed her the smoothie, and Caterina took a bite of the smoothie and the smile melted from her ruby eyes.Eating smoothies on a hot summer day, even if it's a bad mood, will instantly turn for the better.In the crowd of people in the streets, you can always see knights in light armor, with swords hanging from their waists, walking through the long stone street with curious eyes, they are not afraid of the scorching sun, sweat wets the curls on their foreheads, and their eyes wander over the shops on both sides of the long street.These knights are generous in their purchases, and when they see the goods, they often don't like to bargain, so they take out the silver hammer and buy it if they like it, and they will shake their heads and leave when they think it is expensive.Even if the shop owner has remorse and wants to set the price of the product cheaper, he will never look back.They would go in and out of the magic shop and the weapon shop in twos and threes, and the occasional dialect would always confuse the weapon shop owner, and they would usually buy two whetstones in the weapon shop, and occasionally a few fine iron arrows, and then they would find the most lively restaurant, even if there was no place, they didn't mind sitting at the door and waiting for a while.When the girl from the ice shop passed us again, I asked her, "Have you been seeing these foreign knights on the street lately?"
”The girl held the tray, held the smoothie in her hand to the guest steadily, turned around and smiled at me, and then said: "Yes, there are always many knights with foreign accents on this street these days, I heard that they came from Haiyinsi, they are there to participate in the plane war" The girl with the tray was very talkative, and when she was not busy, she came over to have a brief chat with us, and occasionally, her eyes would fall on the mage badge on my chest.Caterina speaks the Imperial Capital dialect fluently, and she is usually chatting with the ice girl, while I just sit and listen.A group of young archers passed by under the shade of the trees, some important parts of the leather armor they wore would be covered with armor pieces, with a recurve bow on their backs, and an arrow pot hanging from their waists, talking and laughing along the way, although I knew that they spoke imperial Chinese, but every syllable was so strange, even together, I couldn't understand a word."
They came from Qiyan City, and their own people like to use dialects when communicating, in fact, their standard imperial Chinese is also good!"
The girl with the cake seller spoke in a crisp voice, leaning against the corner of the empty seat at the adjacent table, holding the tray to her chest, and said nonchalantly."
It turns out that they are the warriors of Strange Rock City!"
Caterina let out a sigh of admiration.They curiously gathered in front of the counter of the ice shop, pointing to the exquisite desserts inside, asking the price one by one, they behaved very carefully, and even asked in great detail how much ice, how much bean paste, and how much fruit were put in it, and they would also ask the owner of the ice shop, if you can buy half a portion?
Wait until they are satisfied with the red bean smoothie and leave as they walk.The owner of the ice shop let out a long breath, wiped his face with a towel again, and glared at the girl who was standing under the parasol snickering: "What are you smiling at, why is there no life in your eyes?"
Don't you know how to come and help me shave ice?
”The girl stuck out her tongue in fright, gave us a sweet smile, and quickly turned around and ran into the store.There was a faint sound of argument in the shop: "Nan, don't be stupid, people are magicians and nobles!"
I won't take a fancy to you, why do you still make up for others!
”"It's not good to talk or chat!"
Caterina looked at me, holding back a smile, her sexy lips pursed slightly, and her long red hair was like a burning fire.I think of Anne, the girl with red hair, who has the same white skin as Caterina but with blue eyes and a sexier body than Becky, and I think of her occasionally.After all, I promised Sister Guoguo that I would take good care of her sisters, and now Su's life is quite stable, but she is probably reluctant to go out of her own world.In a trance, a familiar and unfamiliar figure appeared in my sight.A salamander leather armor made her look like a burning flame only a long red hair had disappeared, replaced by short hair with a round face, neat bangs on the forehead, and a very plump figure, white and greasy skin was backlogged in the tight salamander leather armor, as if there was a possibility of bursting the leather armor at any time.The salamander leather armor seemed a little tight to her.Behind him was a magic sword that exuded the aura of the fire element, the patterns on the fishskin scabbard had been sharpened to a little blurred, and the gems set in the hilt had become dull.Probably because the weather was too hot, a pair of long combat boots were taken off and carried in her hands, white jade toes looked crystal clear in the sun, she stepped on a pair of wooden sandals, leaned forward, put her hands on her knees, and looked intently at the dazzling array of goods in the magic shop through the glass window.I was very curious about what she was looking at, so I held back the joy of reunion, walked out from under the parasol of the ice shop, and walked all the way to her.Unaffected by the pedestrians around her, she leaned through the window and looked inside.I stood quietly behind her, and I could see her delicate pretty face in the reflection of the window, her fine short hair making her face look a little round, biting her lip lightly, her eyes focused.His eyes fell on the window, and a pair of beautiful prosthetic limbs were placed on the counter, not much different from the one Sue was using now.I didn't even notice that it was an Orianna Magic Shop.She gently tugged at the money bag hanging from her waist, sighed slightly, and then stood up straight, our eyes met through the clean glass, she grew her mouth in surprise, and turned to stare at me sharply: "Jijia, why are you here?"
”It was really Annie.I stretched out my hand and walked up to hug her, and said to her, "I went to school in the imperial capital, but why did you actually come to the imperial capital, shouldn't you be in Qiyan City?"
”More than three years have made her mature a lot, and when she left El City, she was only a ninth-level demon swordsman apprentice, and now Annie, who is standing in front of me, may have crossed the first threshold of the demon swordsman and completed the first transfer.There was a faint scent of locust flowers on her body, and she smiled and said to me, "I came to the Imperial Capital with Lord Ex, and it is said that I will stay here for a while, and then I will go to a certain plane to participate in the plane war there." ”I looked at Anne suspiciously, I thought that Qiyan City had only mobilized two Constructed Knights, which should belong to the most elite troops in their legion, but now that I saw Anne, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious in my heart, so I asked her: "I heard that the troops that were gathered are the twelve most elite Constructed Knights, this is a battle of Constructed Knights, so you have entered the Constructed Knights?"
”"No, I'm kind of a military merit with me!"
Anne smiled and said to me.A magic swordsman whose strength has just completed the first transfer has not yet possessed a set of his own magic pattern structure, and Anne's combat power has not been tapped to the maximum, it seems that Anne should be as she said, mixing some military merits with the Constructed Knights!
Anne is a magic swordsman who can wield some of the magical powers of fire, and she and Lucia are the opposite.Although Anne and Lucia are both magic swordsmen, Lucia belongs to the magician who slowly practiced some fighting skills and swordsmanship, and thus became a magic swordsman.Anne started as a swordsman, and in the process of leveling up, she gradually found that she could control some of the magic power of the fire element, so she became a magic swordsman.I asked her, "By the way, did you see Sue?"
”She smiled awkwardly, her eyes fell on the magic prosthetic leg in the window, and said, "Not yet, I was trying to choose a gift for her" "You want to buy this?"
But Su already has a set, and that set of prosthetics has been perfectly integrated with her body, and this new set may not be more suitable for her!
”I said with some confusion.Anne was a little embarrassed, her pretty face was slightly red, but she said frankly: "I didn't think to buy such an expensive gift for that Nizi." ”Her gaze fell on the prosthetic leg in the window, and she sighed faintly.Anne inadvertently showed a helpless wry smile and said to me, "Wherever I go, I will stop in front of Oriana's magic shop for a while, and then I will find that after three years of hard work outside, I still can't scrape together enough money to buy a magic prosthetic." ”Seeing Anne's stubborn appearance, at this moment, I seemed to see the shadow of Sister Guoguo in her.Sister Guoguo originally wanted to buy a pair of prosthetic limbs from Oriana's store for Sue, so she chose to follow the Wind Chaser adventure group to travel around the world."
Do you still want to give me back those thirty magic crystals?"
I asked her with some surprise."
Why not?
Will time erase the bills owed?
”Anne turned her head to look at me."
Of course not, but even if you have to pay back the money, this money should be repaid by Su!"
I think of Sue, who worked as an assistant under the scholars of Sola University, and the treatment of Campbell's nursing home is also considered to be the top in the imperial capital!
And how hot a priest is at this time, only those commanders who have experienced brutal plane warfare can understand.Anne was tall, and standing with her, I found myself just reaching the edge of her ear.Looking at the reflection of the two of us in the window, it is inevitable that there will be some slippage.At this time, I heard Anne say: "Su has a lot of things on her back, so leave this money to me to solve." ”I was a little speechless for a moment, and I didn't know what to say."
Did you never mention this to Sue?"
I asked Anne in a low voice."
Of course I can't tell her that she's a very stubborn girl, that she has her own insistence, and that maybe she'll refuse me to do it."
Anne said.She looked at Caterina behind me, and for some reason, her face flushed slightly, perhaps because I saw her hair of the same color as Caterina and I nodded, "Her personality is similar to yours." ”"Of course, we're sisters."
Anne said confidently.I took Anne back to the ice shop under the umbrella and asked her to sit down.The girl who sold the ice came out of the shop again, her face was red, but her smile had faded a lot, and she brought a glass of red bean smoothie and placed it in front of Anne."
Did Su write to you saying that she was doing very well in the imperial capital?"
I asked her tentatively.Anne nodded and said, "She said it."
By the way, Jijia, I came to the imperial capital this time to make a special trip to thank Princess Yingli. ”I wiped my nose a little embarrassed, spread my hand and said, "It's not a coincidence, she has run away from home recently, and you haven't seen her for a while." ”Anne gently hid her startled open mouth, her clear eyes staring at me without blinking.At the intersection of 22nd Road and 15th Street in the 7th district of the imperial capital, the famous Place de la Sein was built here.As Sue ran briskly out of the Campbell Sanatorium, I was standing in the grassy plaza, telling Anne the heroic story of the Bednar swordsman, Theon, who fought the undead knights.The square is surrounded by maple trees, a fountain in the center, and in the middle of the pool is a marble sculpture nearly ten meters high, surrounded by numerous fountains.Sue was dressed in a pure white knowledge suit, stepping on a pair of beautiful crystal sandals, the suit long skirt only covered her knees, revealing a long, almost perfect leg, she ran as fast as she could, her long hair scattered behind her head was tied up, and her golden ponytail flew in the air.Sue stood in the square and looked around, and when she saw me waving to her, she ran over.Sue had a hint of doubt in her eyes and asked me, "Hey, Jijia, how did you and Anne get together?"
