Chapter 5: A Magical World

"One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and ten silver coins = equal to twenty copper coins, so that is, one gold coin is equal to two hundred copper coins. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Gold, silver, and copper coins are the common currency of this world.

Alice looked down and bent her fingers one by one, calculating, and after a while raised her head again to the empty counter in front of her, and then pressed against a thick stack of bills.

"So, give me 5 gold coins, 30 silver coins, and 50 copper coins. ”

"Okay, young lady, please wait. ”

Suddenly there was a voice from under the empty counter, and a short figure took the banknote, and without seeing it move, a leather bag appeared in its hand, and then handed it to Alice.

Behind this counter isn't a human, it's a goblin, so there's nothing wrong with being empty.

Driving the largest bank in the wizarding world, he has the same irrepressible greed for gold as a dragon, and in appearance, he also has a unique characteristic, similar to the dwarfs living in the Nordic region, and the goblin in front of him is about a head shorter than Alice, with dark skin, two upturned beards, and slender hands and feet on his short body.

He took the leather bag, untied the rope tied to it, and did not pour it out, so he counted the bags one by one.

After a while, the original dark face of the goblin inside became even darker, and began to become impatient and was about to speak to urge, Alice finally counted the gold coins inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

He waved his hand at the elf and walked outside without looking back.

As Alice walked out of the house, the sun shone down on her again.

The scenery is medieval-style, and the people walking on the road are wearing all kinds of strange clothes, some wearing suits, some wearing costumes that only appear in dramas, and some people are even wearing thick sweaters and robes on this summer day.

If it was on the European continent in the Middle Ages, these guys would either have gone to a mental hospital at that time or were placed in a square for a humanoid barbecue.

That's right, this is the wizard's world, and the guys in the weird clothes are the unique products of this world - wizards.

Where ordinary humans don't know it, these people with extraordinary abilities rule the world, even though they still have a mountain called the gods above them.

And now, Alice is ready to join them and become one of them.

Everything was so surprising in Alice's eyes.

Things that never appear in ordinary human society can be found everywhere here.

All sorts of things came out of the fairy tale, like a magical picture, slowly opening in front of Alice's eyes.

Although when the fairy tale really appeared, it was not so beautiful visually for Alice.

The clothes she wore were completely unsuitable for Alice's aesthetics, and as long as she thought of living in this world for at least three years in this fancy dress, Alice felt a chill.

Even if it's unkempt, not like a girl's Alice, you'll be scared.

It's not the clothes that are worn for three years, but the habit of wearing them after three years.

Just passing by a shop that was supposed to sell magic potions, the contents also made Alice feel bad.

The heart of a dragon, the liver of a bat, the eyes of an eel

Judging by the name of the book on the book list, "Elementary Potions", if you enter the academy to study, there must be a course in potions making.

Thinking about it, if all the materials needed to make potions were these things, Alice felt a chill.

Not to mention touching the feces, Alice felt disgusted just by seeing it with her eyes and smelling it with her nose.

"Good thing there are gloves made of dragon skin. Thinking of the dragon skin glove on the book list that needed to be purchased, Alice's mood calmed down a little.

――When the time comes, it's good to wear so-called dragon skin gloves in class

Later, Alice's eyes were drawn to another shop on the side of the road.

There was a low, soft whine from a dark shop, black owls, gray owls, white owls, yellow owls, all owls inside!

A variety of colors can be found inside, and owls with different sounds are constantly heard.

Let Alice's pace speed up a little, leaving this shop far behind.

As for the reason, Alice could smell the smell of bird droppings coming from more than ten meters away, and she couldn't stand the smell at all!

The footsteps kept moving, and the vision kept sweeping around, although the clothes had already changed when they entered the place, and changed into a robe-like costume.

However, Alice's behavior and the environment here are still inevitably a little unfamiliar, although she didn't use her eyes to see, but Alice can still feel that the people around her occasionally put some disgust and arrogant gaze on her, maybe it's because of Alice's behavior similar to dirt buns that she has attracted such treatment, or maybe the people here have a high sense of superiority over the newcomers?

Looking at the few boys lying on the shop next to him, it should be that the guys who are about the same age as Alice do not have such treatment.

I don't know if it was a mistake for me to drop out of school and come here, but it's a little too late to regret it now.

Feeling the sight of the surroundings, she sighed helplessly and shook her head, Alice decided that she didn't want to think so much, and was ready to go into the shop where the last items needed to be purchased, so as to end today's day's mission.

Suddenly, a tall guy who seemed to be a giant walked in front of him.

It's definitely not human, Alice can be sure of it at first glance, because what normal human has stone-like skin.

The giant-like creature was shouting at something, constantly spitting into the air.

The surrounding humans, who might have been wizards, just watched coldly, and before long, a spider web covered its body.

No matter how much it struggled, even the ground pounded cracks one after another, to no avail, and the cobwebs kept shrinking.

In the end, all that remained on the ground was a small, chess-sized statue, still in a struggling posture, covered with a layer of cobwebs, and the giant's face was still unwilling and angry.

A man suddenly appeared out of thin air, nodded to the people around him with a smile, and disappeared into thin air again.

- What is this?

Before Alice could continue to explore, the world changed!

Freeze freeze freeze

Everything was frozen in an invisible energy

It doesn't matter if it's air, or if it's human movement

Even time and space, at this moment, this place was frozen.

At this time, Alice had no way to perceive everything around her, her body couldn't control it, her mouth couldn't speak, and she couldn't even move her eyes.

The only thing that can still move is the thoughts in my head.
