Chapter 511: The Witch (11)
There are still many unresolved doubts, but just like the light that gradually brightens at the end of Loria's staff, they all have the strength to persevere.
The embarrassment of getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket has now completely dissipated, and all that remains is the curiosity of cautiously looking forward to a new world.
True intimacy is an unprecedented experience for both the rational skeptic Loria and the ignorant Alice.
It's a great feeling to be able to believe.
They walked forward hand in hand, occasionally chatting briefly about their experiences some time ago, and easily solving a few uninteresting Black Iron Dwarven bandits, which seemed not much different from usual.
It's just that Loria will occasionally scratch Alice's palm, and Alice will approach Loria and sniff around.
Intense love sinks into the heart along with troubles, leaving only a faint, faint joy, which is shallow, light, and difficult to detect, and which emerges from time to time.
The feeling of having one person alone is wonderful.
It's wonderful to know that you're not alone.
When the long-lost sunlight stinged her eyes again, Loria had a strong sense of unreality—that such a long and long underground journey had ended so quickly.
The sense of dissonance of happiness continued to ferment, and when she saw the magical city with its many spires, the memory of the kiss in the wetlands was still fresh.
As soon as she arrived at a crowded place, Alice immediately distanced herself from her by one meter.
Loria frowned helplessly, she didn't mind showing affection on the street, but it wasn't until recently that she realized that Alice was actually shy.
Will she blush if you hug her tightly?
"No sneak attacks!"
As if sensing Loria's bad intentions, Alice admonished with a stern expression.
Loria pursed her lips and dismissed the idea of pranks, as long as there were other people present, Alice was very resistant to any intimate behavior...... It used to be able to stick together normally, but now it's going underground.
Hm. If you poke me all the time, I'll be bored if you poke you, so let's find a place to stay first.
Thinking of this, Loria, who hid her whole body under the large parasol in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, Dalaran deserved to be the most prosperous and open city in this era. The streets were filled with all sorts of people, wandering warriors in jagged armor wandering the streets, waiting for a magician to hire them, and tribesmen dressed rather roughly, mingling with free citizens who had embraced elven culture. It doesn't seem to be out of place in the slightest.
As a bridge between humans and elves, Dalaran also had a thriving trade and trade, with shops selling High Elf crafts and magical artifacts, as well as elves standing by street caravans haggling for human food and skins.
Magic-infused fine jewelry sets new records for trading houses every day, and good horses from Arathi are worth a fortune.
Before the northern city of Stratholme was built, Dalaran had been the center of northern trade, with all kinds of inns on the streets, all of which were overcrowded, far from being as depressed as Dalaran that Loria would see in the future.
Look at the guests coming in and out, and then cast a light glance into the store. Loria can judge the state of a hotel as far as ten.
"That's it. Loria said, pointing to the hotel with a carved stag on the sign.
Alice frowned and shook her head.
"It was a good price and very clean. Loria pointed to the horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the store and said, "Merchants don't choose the best, but they always choose the most cost-effective." ”
"People...... There are too many people. ”
Alice glanced to the side, a suspicious flush on her face.
Is this really that Alice?
"I've been traveling in the wilderness or something...... but Alice is still the same Alice, even if she is embarrassed, she will express her thoughts directly, "It's almost ......"
Syllable!
Loria slapped Alice on the head hard, interrupting what she might have blurted out, and quickly dragged her away.
Prices come and go, and the environment and food come and go, but none of them are empty.
Bypass Violet Castle far away. As they walked from the south of the city to the east and then to the north of the city, the newly built port area looked dirty, and the building materials were piled up everywhere, when the breeze blew. It brings up a lot of dust, and the hotels are all cheap routes, but even here you can't find an option that meets the requirements...... Except for a filthy little inn that apparently wanted to close its door, the proprietor actually put the dead price board outside the door—thirty gold coins a day.
Thirty gold coins are enough for one person to eat for a year.
Passers-by avoided the hotel as if they would be scammed if they got any closer.
Loria was about to stay away the moment she saw the sign, but Alice walked straight there - she had never had a sense of money.
"Hey, hey. You're crazy! This is a black shop, you might as well grab 30 gold coins a day!"
Loria grabbed Alice's arm and tried to drag her away.
"But there are very few people. ”
Alice had a determined expression on her face.
"Thirty gold coins can buy three thousand small gingerbread!"
"Hmm!"
Alice hesitated, wavered, and struggled for a moment between three thousand little gingerbread and no one to disturb her, then she made up her mind, nodded and said, "Let's go buy little gingerbread." ”
While they were muttering, the owner of the black shop walked out, with an impatient look on his face, waving his hand to drive them away, "Go, go, don't get in the way of my business." ”
Belch!
This person is determined to go out of business as soon as possible.
Forget the price of grabbing people, and write down the thirty-eight prawns in advance, and actually drive away potential customers?
There are such strange people in the world, Loria couldn't help but look up at him.
“……”
"Get out of here!
The blue-haired High Elf grew impatient, glaring at Loria, then wondering, "Who are you......?"
Loria stared at the High Elf for a moment, exchanged glances with Alice, and walked into the inn amid the surprised gazes of passers-by on the street.
"I am your only disciple in this world, dear teacher. ”
With these words, Loria and Alice left Marley, who was standing at the door of the store staring at him with a puzzled expression, and walked through the empty store, walked upstairs, and picked the most remote room in the corner.
Hmph, it's finally time to decide who's better at chess in a quiet environment where no one is disturbed.
Those who win can pick snacks first. (To be continued...... )
