12. A Corner of the Market


"I guess you're going to start school in the fall, right?

Wait, in a few days, the student ID will come down soon. ”The friendly and kind face, with a kind smile, as if he was looking at a child, made Hoden a little unaccustomed - there is still an essential difference between a twenty-eight-year-old otaku and a seventeen-year-old boy, however, there is such a discord between his body and soul.Holden's eyebrows raised slightly, hiding his embarrassment, and instead of answering the other party's question, he glanced at the other party's nameplate with a smile, "Thank you for your patience, Ms.

Georgina." ”The Georgina lady bowed her head slightly, her eyes showing a loving gaze, then pulled out a lollipop from the pen holder on her desk and handed it over, "I hope to see you in the library in the future." ”Lollipop?

Is this coaxing the child?

Holden's eyes paused slightly, took the lollipop, thanked him again, and turned away.Standing at the door of the Iwabuchi Library, looking at the whole situation condescendingly, he was watching to see if anyone was following him, and he was also thinking about the problem.With a lollipop in his mouth, the intake of sugar relieved his shivering body a little, and his brain was able to function again.In fact, Hodden seriously thought about whether he should use psionic energy to dry clothes; But he immediately noticed that the people who came and went did not do this, and the wet clothes remained wet, which also meant that drying the clothes should require more control, which was still too difficult for the enlightened.So, if you don't want to burn all your clothes, Hoden had better keep the status quo and not act rashly.Although he unfortunately didn't make it to the Iwabuchi Library, the Umani Cathedral, and his party had a lot to gain, and the next thing he should do was to look through the books on Umani and Hano to see if he could find any information about the pattern.Not today, not now, though.Now, he should return to Prince Street to forage for food.His stomach was protesting with righteous words, and if he didn't eat again, he wouldn't have to wait for the killer to strike, and he might be able to do justice tonight.It's another walk from the Iwabuchi Library to the BTS station, and the exhausted, empty-wallet Hoden can only rely on his legs to move forward, repeating various food images in his mind, and persistently walking towards the BTS station - victory, the future of victory is not far away.…… Bang dang.Bang dang.The sound of wheels crashing against the rails gently shook the carriage, and the shaking was clearly felt both when standing and sitting, and the body swayed gently, as if you could feel the sound of the remnants of food in the stomach shaking and colliding - obviously, a sign that the supper had been completely consumed.Whining.Whining.The whistle sounded melodiously and clearly, and the attention of the outbound journey was on the newspaper, and there was no way to appreciate the cityscape; The return trip finally did not forget, and I couldn't help but look out of the car window, and a puff of billowing black smoke mixed with fine coal dust particles came to my face, and fell on the window glass with a sigh, leaving a thin layer of dust, and the world outside the window became hazy and blurred.One of Iwabuchi's prides is the double-track steam train that traverses the city, one of only three cities in the entire Leia Empire to have a light rail.This replaced the dominance of horse-drawn carriages and walking as the main means of mass transportation, and although there was currently only one line running longitudinally from north to south, it really fundamentally changed the way people lived, and the commoners living in the lower town on the south side were able to visit the upper town on the north side to see what life was like for the nobles.Otherwise, it would take more than three hours to walk, which would be too difficult for civilians who are busy with their livelihoods every day.

Now, it only takes two toots and forty minutes to travel from the southern end to the northern end of the world.Through the window, Hodden quietly looked out the window at the gray world, the whole city was shrouded in a lingering light gray mist, not to mention the buildings and streets, even the people walking in it were covered in a layer of gray, so dirty that it seemed that they could not be cleaned."

Dear passengers, the station ahead is about to arrive, 112th Street of Seventh Avenue, passengers heading to Iwabuchi Polytechnic University, Laiya Institute of Science, and Dongcun Bazaar can get off here."

The so-called "dear passengers" did not feel the slightest kind of cordial and gentle feeling, and they could always feel a mouthful of old phlegm that could not be spit out in their throats.Holden still sat lazily in his chair, staggering and waiting for the train to stop, until the car had come to a complete stop, then stood up, walked to the door, opened the hand brake, and opened the door with a "clang".By this time, the morning rush hour had already passed, and although there were still many people in the carriage, it was no longer crowded, and Holden followed the crowd out."

Huh, what's that smell like?"

Diagonally across the street, at the foot of the light rail overpass, before the footsteps had time to stand firmly, a strong breath came to the face, accompanied by a thick smoke, and there was a charcoal fire mixed with a slight sweet and meaty aroma, which immediately attracted Hoden's attention.Leaving the house in the morning, the whole street had just woken up, and the crowds were far from busy, and Hoden hurriedly bought the newspaper and left, so that he didn't even take a good look at the neighborhood nearby.At this point, a hungry Horgan was finally able to slow down and walk through it.Holden's footsteps couldn't help but step over, and from a distance, you could see that it was a simple mobile charcoal stove iron plate stall: on the left was an iron plate area, neatly placed a bunch of unknown skewers, which were sizzling on the iron plate at this time, and the golden meat pieces were rolling sensitively in the hands of the vendor owner, and even the oil could be seen flowing along the lines of the meat.Then the boss swiped his left hand, and a faint flame close to blue flew out from his fingertips, and it rushed over the surface of the meat skewer with a clatter, like a flying dragon crossing the river.Zila.The sound of roasting meat is accompanied by a rich aroma, and after the flame disappears, you can see that the corners of the meat pieces are slightly caramel colored, but the faint burnt taste is not annoying, but on the contrary, the aroma of the meat becomes more and more intense, and the golden yellow color has turned into a light gold, and the gravy is slowly flowing.From hearing to taste to sight, let the saliva be secreted quickly, and before it is put in the mouth, it seems that you can feel the taste of the lips and teeth.But that's not the end of it.The boss grabbed the whole meat skewer and put it in the right area, and with a slight flip of his right wrist, a faint mist came out of his fingertips, like spreading seasoning, sporadically spilling on the meat skewers, waiting for the fog to dissipate, and the surface of the meat skewers gently condensed a layer of irregular frost.It looks like frosting.The Ice Elemental can still be used like this?

Hoden's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.()
