Chapter 48
It's March, and it's a sunny spring day in the Central Continent, which is a good day to travel.
At this time, the streets were very lively, many residents of Lemlas City came out, and in many shops, you could see students wearing the clothes of the Lemlas Demon Martial Arts Academy, either picking out what they wanted, or selling things.
Lemlas is a city of mixed races, and many of these inhabitants are descendants of the same race that first founded Lemlas, and they have lived here for generations, although there are also those who have left Lemurath to venture out into the wider world, but eventually they will automatically return to Lemlas to spend the rest of their lives here.
Yes, Lemlas is obviously a city built together by various races, and it can be seen from the buildings that are full of the characteristics of various races in the city, and it is peculiarly planned with a sense of artistic hierarchy, and it is not messy because of the variety of types, obviously the people who planned this city at the beginning have good artistic cells.
In addition to the descendants of the various races that founded Lemlas, there are many students of Lemlas, or their descendants, who make up the city of Lemlas. And very strangely, everyone who becomes a resident of Lemlas will be very loyal to Lemlas, forming a centripetal force to protect Lemlas.
This is probably Lemlas's strong strength.
Not to mention the Dharma Saints and Martial Saints cultivated in Lemlas City, it was the huge magic protection array under Lemlas, which was surprising. It is also because of this powerful magic protection array that Lemlas is not afraid of the demonic beasts in the central forest.
Today is the monthly market in Lemlas, and many residents who live in Lemlas, or near the vicinity of Lemlas, have entered the city and brought a lot of things into the city to exchange with people, which can also be called an exchange day.
Over the years, Jian Lu has also exchanged a lot of things that are useful to him during the exchange day, or exchanged some useless things that he got in the forest, such as ores, animal skins, animal blood, potion materials, and the like.
This is also when Jian Lu came to the street and saw the small vendors on both sides of the street to remember what day it was, and then saw the dwarf Rupert and the orc Taylor, they also came to set up a stall today, wanting to exchange some things with people, the dwarf's stall was placed with his own forged weapons, and the orc stall was placed with some herbs and animal skins, animal bones, etc. brought back from the forest.
Jian Lu was about to go over to say hello to them, but was stopped by Hines.
"They still have to set up stalls, you don't have anything to exchange, just don't go over."
Jian Lu nodded, and was leaving, when suddenly his gaze swept over one of the dwarves' stalls, his gaze froze, and he walked towards the dwarf's stall.
Hines didn't know what he had found, so he followed.
In addition to the weapons he had forged himself, there were also bits and pieces on the dwarven stall, which looked dirty and unsuspecting people thought they had picked them up from some garbage heap.
"What is this?" Jian Lu picked up a piece as white as a bone and asked, there were some black spots on it, and he scraped it with his fingernails, but found that he couldn't scratch it.
The dwarf replied, "I don't know, this is when I was training in the forest, I accidentally broke into the cave of a demonic beast, and I picked it up there, it looks like the bones of some kind of demonic beast, but the texture is so hard that even our dwarven axe can't leave a trace, and the earth fire can't melt it, so I brought it back." Then the dwarf honestly replied, "Unfortunately, I can't incorporate it into my weapon." β
Jian Lu nodded, put it down, and took a few dirty things to check. After reading it, he said to the dwarf, "I'm somewhat interested in these things, what do you want to exchange?" β
When the dwarf heard this, he said, "I am a forging system, ore is preferred, if there is no ore, then the demon core and gold coins of the wraithing worm can also be used." Then he said a price, the demon core of the spirit worm will cost ten, and the gold coin will cost fifty.
Jian Lu glanced at him lightly.
The dwarf thought that he was dissatisfied with the price, and was about to say something, when a loud voice came: "Bart, you are too black-hearted, these garbage things are all picked up, what can you exchange for?" Also, this is my friend, it's cheaper. β
Turning his head, it turned out to be Rupert, and he smiled at Jian Lu.
Bart heard Rupert's words and happily reduced the price by two-thirds. Dwarves are such a straightforward race, their brains do not turn, and when they offend them, they are stubborn and irritating, but when they get their friendship, they are very hospitable.
Jane Lu and Rupert have a good relationship.
So Jian Lu paid eighteen gold coins, took away all the dirty things he fancied, and then said to Rupert: "I'll cook today, you can go to my dormitory for dinner when you're done." β
Rupert ignored Hines's gloomy look, answered with a full mouth, and then ran over to tell SΓΉ Taylor the good news, which made Taylor so happy that he waved his hand to Jian Lu and them from afar, and loudly promised that he would close the stall early today.
Hines's face darkened.
He extremely disliked that this group of people always grabbed Jian Lu's gaze from him, but there were always dead people entangled with him. If it weren't for the academy, you wouldn't have been able to cripple them......
"Hines, what do you want to eat?"
Hearing Jian Lu's words, Hines's gloomy expression swept away, his face regained calm, and with a little pleasure, he quickly reported the names of several dishes, all of which were meat. Then he turned his head to look at Jian Lu and said, "Jane, you seem to be happy?" β
Although the look on his face was similar to usual, Hines could tell from the subtleties of his face that he was in a good mood, and this good thing was the dirty things he had bought from the dwarf earlier.
Jian Lu narrowed his eyes and said, "Because I got something good." β
Hines was a little suspicious, and seeing that he didn't explain, he didn't ask any more questions.
The two bought some monster meat and fresh fruits, poultry eggs, vegetables and seasonings, and went back to the dormitory.
Because Hines hadn't eaten lunch yet, Jian Lu simply stir-fried two dishes first, steamed hibiscus eggs and two rice crackers.
Rice crackers are the fruit of a tree found in the central forest, the tree looks like a deciduous tree, up to ten meters high, the shape of the fruit looks like a winter melon, the skin will be wrinkled when ripe, like the color of passion fruit, after prying the hard skin, the pearl-sized white particles are exposed inside, and after they are steamed, the taste is very similar to the pearl rice that Jian Lu eats in the present world, with a natural fruity aroma.
This was discovered by Jian Lu when he went to the forest for training in the first grade, when a group of their crispy mages were forced into a valley by a group of salamanders, and the valley was full of rice cracker trees, among which a fire magician accidentally burned a rice crack with a fire dragon, and the burnt smell similar to rice emitted made Jian Lu capture, and after the real yΓ n, he found that this could completely replace the storage of rice.
So Jian Lu named them rice crackers.
It was also because of the discovery of rice crackers that could replace rice that Jian Lu began to study the food of his previous life, although it was unsuccessful, but it was much better than the food in the Olawen Continent.
For this reason, Jian Lu has to go to that valley to collect rice crackers every spring and autumn, and in the past five years, a storage compartment in the system has been stuffed with rice crackers, which is dense, enough for him to eat for more than a lifetime.
And the Central Forest also has countless treasures, and Jian Lu also found a lot of things like bay leaves similar to seasonings, which made him even happier.
After lunch, Jian Lu took out the things he had exchanged from the dwarf stall and studied them.
Hines sat next to him, watching curiously as he studied and recorded the counts. Jian Lu didn't hide it from him, he looked at it one by one, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
The bracelet of blessing of St. Meida, the bone of the golden dragon, the vessel of forging.
Obviously, I can understand all three things, but I am a little ignorant.
Who is Santa Meida? Is it the alchemist who made the bracelet of blessings? It turned out that the bone-like thing was really a bone, and it was the bone of the golden dragon known as the most powerful, so what was the use of Jian Lu buying it? And is the forge the dirty thing that looks like a copper coin?
Hines naturally didn't suspect that Jian Lu was mistaken, but when the dwarf got these things, he didn't take them for people to identify, and even the most senior appraiser couldn't identify them, so how did Jian Lu identify them?
Hines was once again filled with suspicion, which deepened as he observed Jane.
Of course, it was a system qualification.
In five years, Jian Lu once again dedicated the Holy Light Regiment he had accumulated to the system, and then lit up the identification function of the system, as long as the system was lit up, the system would immediately identify the authenticity and falsehood, which was very convenient for Jian Lu's leakage. These things should have been left over from the Great War of the Gods six thousand years ago, and their records have disappeared in the long river of time, so no one can know what they are, so Jian Lu picked up the bargain.
Jian Lu felt that if she didn't pick them up, they would be picked up by the heroine who knew the goods in the future and become her weapon, so it was better to let herself pick them up first, so that they could be used to save her life later.
The heroine's plan to destroy the world has always been a talisman in his heart, and he has to make himself strong. But no matter how fast he cultivates, I'm afraid that he won't be able to inherit the divinity of the goddess of darkness, so he has to find another way.
Santa Melida's Bracelet of Blessing has a strong defensive function, and this method of activation is to use divine water, which does not even have the Temple of Light, so it has to be done first; And the keel of the golden dragon has a lot of effects, so it will be collected first; Finally, there is the forging weapon, the explanation given by the system is a gift left by the forging god, with the forging weapon, it can strengthen the forging ability of the dwarves, and it can be used at a critical time in the future.
After a busy afternoon, Jian Lu removed the filthy potion on the surface of these things, and restored them to three percent, even if it was three percent, it made them look new and show that they were extraordinary.
Then he threw them to Hines to study and began to prepare dinner.
Hines took it over and checked it, and found that they looked like defective products, and they couldn't feel any energy fluctuations on them, as if they were useless, so he ignored them, returned them to Jian Lu, and followed them into the kitchen.
Rather than studying these things that he didn't know if they were useful, he preferred to stay by Jian Lu's side and touch them a few times when the person wasn't paying attention.
In the evening, Amelia, Priestley, Rupert, Taylor, and others arrived.
