Chapter 216: The Coffee Shop

The weather is terrible today.

The two protagonists plan to leave, but God seems to be planning to let them stay for two more days.

Two days ago it was still sunny, blue sky and white clouds, today it has become as violent as the sky is about to fall, the rain is like pouring water, the raindrops are dense and big, but the work of the people in the city continues, the doors of the restaurant are open, the pedestrians on the road are not walking a few points faster than usual, only the street vendors that can be seen everywhere in the past have gone home to rest, and the orcs have not turned into beast forms to go shopping, other than that, everything remains the same.

Just look at the skin and clothing that people keep dry all the time, they are all doing magic to self-bless, to isolate the rain from themselves, and its effect is more concentrated in the obscuring of the sight.

This dense rain continued and reduced visibility a lot.

Along the way, you can see one after another moving humanoid objects covered with water curtains, just with the naked eye, fine raindrops pass in front of them, dripping on the surface of their skin [surface protection], forming a water curtain covering the body, only the position of the eyes, the water curtain is separated, forming a pair of eyes, at least, you have to leave a hole to see the road, right?

Although I don't have that eye, it's not bad to see the road with mental power.

The flora and fauna that live on this planet, which is larger, has a stronger gravitational pull, a thicker atmosphere, and a more violent atmosphere, are stronger in every way than Earth.

And now, a little fragile looking sparrow flew down from the eaves.

A rainstorm of the same size on Earth will cause a bird to fall to the ground by the rain, shivering on the ground, waiting powerlessly for the rainstorm to pass, or to be lucky enough to hide somewhere safe, but not here, unless it is a bird that accidentally falls out of the nest or has not been away from its parents for a short time, they are relatively much more tenacious.

They also have their own coping strategies, these birds are "flying vertically", literally, flying vertically, assisted by magic, the body is almost perpendicular to the ground, the wings are flattened, and the feathers are not wet, this is their strategy, try to reduce the area hit by raindrops, so that the feathers do not absorb water, and then use the innate magic to "bypass" the rain, for these birds, the rainstorm will not have any effect except for the slow flight.

Of course, the unlucky ones who are flying and are struck by lightning or something have to be counted separately.

Now, Albert was sitting in a small café, looking at the raindrops outside the window, the rain was very heavy and violent, and it was estimated that there would be at least a few hours before the rain ended, and after coming to the above conclusion, he sighed slightly, took out a book and began to read.

Cecilia was on his right, looking a little sleepy leaning on his shoulder, moving twice from time to time, and finally seemed to feel still uncomfortable, so he simply changed his position, lying on the sofa-like seat provided by the café with his back on his lap, his head resting on his left arm, and as if he didn't feel very comfortable, he sat up again, hugged his right arm, arched hard, leaned on his shoulder and continued to sleep, holding his hand was strong enough to twist and break the bones of any ordinary person, and even tear the whole hand off, unintentionally ** Those few strokes are enough to dislocate the bones of the uncultivators, but they are only a little tighter for them.

She seemed to be going to sleep like this for a long time, and it was true that the wizard of the second ring didn't need to sleep, but she could still fall asleep if she wanted to.

Intelligent creatures will have a perceptual side after all, and not sleeping for a long time will have no effect on the body, but it will affect the psyche, so there will be a considerable group of wizards in the second ring and higher rings who still have the habit of sleeping, and people are not machines after all.

Some people say that sleep is good for the body, and some people say that sleep is very helpful for the body's mediation and relaxation, but in fact, it does not have those effects, and the results of social sampling surveys show that wizards who do not use this self-coordination auxiliary function are no different from other people, and what really makes those wizards sleep is just instinct and habit.

Pick up the milk tea that is still steaming, take a sip, he is still not used to drinking coffee, I don't know why, he just can't get used to drinking it, in comparison, the drink called milk tea is more acceptable to him.

There were still a few people drinking coffee, and the store was not deserted, and the two young orc clerks were still standing at the counter, waiting for the next customer.

The interior of the store is more retro and pre-owned.

Wood grain floor, solid wood table, brown sofa chairs, gray and white wall paint, several regularly arranged rectangular columns, obviously a stone house, but the ceiling is deliberately made to look like a wooden house, you can see the erected "beams" and the ceiling paved with layers of wood when you look up, and a chandelier, on the chandelier, five candles are burning, of course, the candles are fake, look closely, you can see engraved on the "candle" These runes are constantly sucking a faint amount of heat from the surroundings to maintain the small flame at the top of the candle, and the clerks will inject energy into this gadget once in the morning, noon and evening.

Those fake candles alone don't provide much light, so the place where they are is dimly lit is what this shop is trying to achieve.

And they did it successfully.

Similar "themed coffee shops" are everywhere, and they are widely used as a means of attracting customers, in addition to all kinds of drinks, they also serve desserts and pastries, and now there are two wooden cups on the table where she put the cream cake after eating, and there is also a wooden plate, which is also used to hold the cake, of course, this cake is much larger, but most of it goes into her stomach.

It can be regarded as one of the benefits of cultivation, no matter how you eat, it is impossible to get fat, Cecilia eats without scruples, she likes to eat desserts such as cream cakes, even if she has eaten lunch, she is still defenseless in the face of those fluffy little things.

"Awake?" Albert blinked, a ring glowing red in his eyes, and the ring was hidden in the faintly gathered black mist, and through the hand that was held, he felt the other's heart beat a little faster.

"Hmm. "Shall we go then?" "Wait a little longer, I want to sleep again." "Oh. ”

She changed the racial characteristics this time, closed his eyes again, he picked up the book again and began to read, the store was quiet, people were doing their own thing, it was quiet, only one or two people were talking, and they all lowered their voices, but from here they could still hear what other people were saying, although they didn't want to know anything about other people's seven aunts and eight aunts, and what happened after the hearing enhancement at first was not pleasant.

Because the world is actually very noisy.

He still hasn't forgotten that after his first hearing enhancement at school, he tried to use all his strength to strengthen his senses, and at that time, in order to ensure 100% success, he was very desperate to call for a few other people to help: everyone else spoke like thunder, the sound of his brothers in the dormitory eating came to him like a symphony orchestra beating drums in his ears with all its might, and countless loud sounds of incomprehensible origin merged into a symphony in his head, and then his ears bleed, and finally he was pushed into the school infirmary。

There will always be a little fool or two who will pay for a few of their bold experiments with newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers, and then the infirmary will be useful.

Eventually, the physician told him that the magic was not harmful to the body, and that the real cause of the damage was that some runes were wrong, and that the man warned him not to use some magic until his body was up to par.

Not all memories are pleasant.
