I have the impression that most of the children in El are gluttonous. Although there is plenty of food in this world, children don't usually eat many snacks, except for some cold and hard pastries, only some fresh fruits and vegetables. The food in El is always so monotonous and boring, beef, potatoes and tomato soup, brown bread, wheat cakes, and of course many children in El have to eat a golden apple after their meal, but I don't like to eat this weird tasting golden apple.
The so-called golden apple, is not an apple made of gold, but a kind of ripe, the color of the apple becomes golden, in fact, I think its taste is not good, not after the first snow frozen golden apple, there will always be a taste of wood pulp, only after a snow freezing, the wood pulp taste of the golden apple itself is converted into sugar, the golden apple will appear very sweet. Therefore, only in the north, where fruits are scarce, these apples are not very tasty, but most of the apples are still used to make sake.
The children of El City did not have chewing gum, peanuts, toffee, fried chicken, chips and fried fish, so when they came to the Tin Box of Luncheon Meat on the Pai Plateau, it was immediately popular when the merchants brought it to El City. The spice flavor and beef flavor are perfectly combined, and this canned beef is very popular for both travels and family dinners. In the wild, this kind of canned food is very convenient, whether it is directly on the fire to roast and eat hot. Or use a dagger to cut through a thin sheet of iron and throw the whole box of beef into a soup pot and cook it with vegetable cereal. It's all delicious.
The tin canned food box can also be used as simple cutlery, and the price of this canned beef is not too expensive. A can can be bought in the market for only twenty copper plates, but because of its low price, it immediately becomes a sought-after commodity when it enters the market, and many times it is out of stock, especially since the establishment of the expeditionary force in the city of El, those who have been recruited into that team will try to buy a few boxes of canned beef with them, this kind of easy-to-store food with some black bread and wheat cakes. It's very convenient.
Canned beef is also very popular in Stans College, Leon took out a can of canned beef, crouched down and stuffed it into my hand while others were not looking, in his opinion, there is no way for a child of my age to refuse the temptation of this delicious food, unless I haven't eaten it, in the previous conversation with Retesi, Leon can be sure that the Rryant family has eaten this kind of cooked beef in tin cans, and Leant and Tracy are very fond of the spices in beef. Tracy didn't mention his brother's feelings about canned beef. But in Leon's opinion, what kid in El City can resist the temptation of canned beef?
I was a little stunned, looking at the familiar white iron box words, and sighed in my heart: this kind of ultra-thin tinplate with anti-rust coating production technology. It was actually researched by the quarry owner Horsens, and it seems that he and Kutz have reached out for the millions of unicorn bison in the depths of the wasteland, and I am reminded of my joke. In the future, such a tin canned food will be called luncheon meat, but I didn't expect that the Kuz guy really called it luncheon meat. I didn't expect this kind of canned food to be sold to the Grimm Empire.
But this canned luncheon meat is just a memory for me. Even all the kids in the city of El think it's delicious. But it's just a familiar taste to me. I weighed the can, it was like a stone, and I thought to myself: this is too heavy, if you throw this can out, it will almost kill people if it hits the heads of passers-by. It seems that Hoscent has just made the appearance look good, and the processing technology of the canned box still needs to be improved!
In the eyes of Ryan and Fanny, I will always be the man to Tracy's left. And now, Tracy, who is in a rebellious period, is like a little wild horse that is difficult to tame, she needs to have her own living space, she also has her own ideas, she has her own perception of beauty and ugliness, she is like other girls in the college, she also likes stars on campus, has her own crush, and has her own circle of friends.
But Tracy is different, she is the daughter of a sword teacher, she is also a star in Stans College, although she is not the most beautiful girl on campus, but she is definitely a beautiful girl who coexists with beauty and heroism, and she has been nurtured by her family since she was a child, and she is also a master of swordsmanship. So in Leon's eyes, Tracy is a girlfriend worth dating, definitely ranking high among many girlfriends, and the position in Leon's heart is also absolutely high.
Tracy was now under the gaze of Ryant's sword-like eyes, and he looked a little unnatural, even a little uneasy. Yes, now her lover at school is bribing her future husband with a jar of sought-after decent cans, and even if Leon thinks he's doing it secretively, at least he can't escape the eyes of Ryan and Tracy.
I also thought it was funny, and I didn't know what Leon's expression would be if I accepted the can and knew who I really was. We are destined to be rivals, but when I faced Leon, who already had a thick and fluffy layer on his lips, there was no trace of hostility and anger, and I was indifferent like a passerby.
And Leon didn't know the joints, but in order to be able to learn a little more technical secrets, he wanted to buy me with a can of canned beef. In fact, by now, he has revealed his true intentions, and he has taken a fancy to not only Tracy, but also the secret swordsmanship in Ryant's hands.
But this time, the young man seemed a little inexperienced, and the most miscalculated thing was that he really thought I was Tracy's younger brother, and in his opinion, Ryan should have handed over all the tricks in his hands to me, he just wanted to learn more life-saving skills from me.
The canned beef kept turning in my hand, and just when he thought he was close to success, Tracy finally couldn't take it anymore, ran over to me, glared at me fiercely, and snatched the luncheon meat from my hand. Stuffed in Leon's arms, he whispered to him, "He doesn't like beef!"
I know she's blaming me for not being clear, or in Tracy's imagination: I'm supposed to be ashamed and annoyed. Or carefully hold back the anger in his heart like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, or simply a bear bag egg with a pitiful appearance. But I look like an outsider watching a good show, but Leon is more like the fool who was kept in the dark, causing the prince charming in her heart to be embarrassed in front of Leant, who originally disliked this oily young man very much, and this time Leon lost points even more in Leant's mind.
Tracy understands that he does not rely on his beautiful appearance, charming figure, and gentle personality to defeat his competitors in other grades, and there are so many beautiful girls in the academy that they are like carp crossing the river, and Leon, who has many admirers, can look up to Tracy. It's all because of his father, who is a swordsmanship teacher, and the reason why he is close to him is also to be able to let his father give him more guidance.
But Tracy was hiding one of the most important things, and that was my existence. I am now deeply favored by Ryan and Fanny, Fanny is so bent on the happiness of her daughter Tracy that she cares for me, and in Fanny's mind, Tracy will not be bullied by me even if she has any willfulness or temper tantrum, and will be with me in the future. After all, I am a very sensible child, and they are very relieved and satisfied with what I am now. Mediocrity, well-behaved, introverted, these personalities of mine are very suitable for Tracy in the future. At least in the minds of Ryan and Fanny, I was a very good candidate.
Because of this, as long as I am between Leon and Tracy. Leon could not have been loved by Leonte.
Tracy is usually on the campus in Staines, and he is already like the other girls. Learn how to behave gently, at least in front of Leon. She is always able to restrain her petty temperament, and she is considerate enough to Leon, I have never seen Tracy speak so low, speak so slowly, in my eyes, Tracy is a female swordsman who always likes to hide the thin sword in her hand behind her back, she is always so radiant when fighting.
The Stans College had already begun to blow the trumpet, Tracy had no privilege not to assemble, and apparently neither could Leon, and they hurried to the meeting place, and I had to go to Ryan as well, and I had to ask him what he thought, and go home or follow them.
Perhaps only a delicate man like Ryan could understand me a little, and he leaned against a golden apple tree, looking a little tired, and when I walked up to him, I heard him suddenly ask me, "Jia, will you blame me?"
I rolled my eyes and didn't pay attention to his words, but leaned against him under the golden apple tree, and looked at the students of Stas College not far away, the corners of my mouth curved slightly upward, and then said to him, "Hate you for adopting me when I was alone, or do you want to marry my daughter to me?"
"If only Tracy were half as sensible as you!" said Ryant, with emotion.
I laughed and said, "Then she's not our Tracy, is she?, Fanny is still worried about me, am I going back to El City first?"
"Hehe, I hope the life at Stans College can leave her with good enough memories, I want to say that when she didn't stray too far from the alleyway, we let her go, once she lost her way, we still have to pull her, she is a good child with a good heart, but sometimes a little wayward, but it's not wrong. If one day, I'm old, will you be able to do that?" Ryan grinned, squinting at the mountains in the distance, licking his parched lips, feeling a little thirsty, and took out the kettle and took a sip of water.
At this time, I suddenly noticed that he already had some wrinkles on his forehead, and it seemed that the barbarians had sneaked into the province of Sloit this time, and he was greatly touched.
I looked at the distant mountains, looked at the green old trees, pointed to the green carpet-like jungle and said to Leant: "Now is the season for all things to grow wildly, we are so young, we can't decide what to do in the future, we have to be like these oak forests, we have to dig our roots deep into this mountain, we must take good care of the land that nurtures us, each of us will continue to grow up slowly, you and Fanny will grow old slowly." Fate brings us together, and that's the only thing that can't be changed. I will take good care of all that belongs to me. Because I have lost, I know what to cherish. Ryanter, I can do it!"
The mountain breeze is blowing slowly. The rustling of the leaves of the apple grove and the bright sun reflected the meadows through the gaps in the tender green leaves, and the two of us were silent for a moment, and then Rryant said, "Come with me to see the savages, who always like to come here to plunder the miners, both men and young men. They come almost every year. As warriors of the North, we must learn how to deal with those barbarians. This is a rare opportunity, if in the cold winter, their strength will be twice as high as in the current season, winter is their home field, and now in this season, they will only be trapped in the mountains and forests waiting to eat ashes. ”
I hesitated, then took a deep breath and said, "Those savages, they are natural predators. Tracy still needs to grow up for a long time before they are qualified to fight those big guys, do you Stans teachers really dare to let these inexperienced academy students face those barbarian warriors alone in the wild?"
Rryant heard me. He turned his head and looked at me deeply before saying, "Five years ago, you first proposed to us that it was time to go out alone during this season. Fanny and I were worried because you were so young. Fanny said to me directly. What's the difference between letting you go out into the wilderness alone like this and killing you? I have followed you secretly for a while, and I saw you at that time, almost like a natural hunter, this mountain, this water, this forest and the river are your home, until finally I want to follow you, I am destined to be discovered by you, I quietly returned to the city of El, but from that day on, I know that you have the qualifications to survive in the wild, maybe different bumpy fates will create different talents!"
I know what happened that time, Leant followed me all the way to the banks of the Galloping Horse River, and finally gave up following me, and chose to return the same way, at that time, I could already attach the fire magic element of the "Fire Tongue Weapon" to any medium, as long as it was within a hundred meters, before the magic power on those mediums disappeared, I could clearly feel any subtle movements of birds, beasts, fish and insects that passed by the medium, I once heard old Kuru once say that the high shamans have some powerful skills, one of which is called ' The skill of 'Boundary Vision' is a powerful magic that can rely on the power of magic to observe situations from a distance of several kilometers. And although I don't have the powerful skills that belong to shamans, I also have the ability to sense the movement of some specific places within a hundred meters by relying on my innate keen 'magic perception'. So, the last time Rryant stalked me, I know.
The students of Stans College began to set off one after another, they lined up very neatly, and no one in the team spoke, but these students walked on the main road, and there was always something missing, I can't tell what it was, but I could give me a clear feeling that this was a group of rookies who couldn't do it.
Ryan squinted at the procession of departures, and continued: "If you don't let them out, they will always be young seedlings in some greenhouses, and as for the field training held every year in the academy, they are only in the suburbs of Eltown, and see what else can these suburbs have besides these orchards full of golden apple trees? Bringing them out this time is just to perform some simple tasks in the outermost area, and now there are at least nearly 200,000 human troops gathered on that battlefield, among which the elite troops of the North Wind Cavalry Regiment are also gathered there, and the high-level people in the courtyard just want these children to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, they don't have the opportunity to face the barbarians alone!"
I sighed in my heart: this is another meaningless exercise, this is also the difference between the human empire and the orc tribe, every child in the orc tribe at the age of seven or eight years old, will go out hunting for the first time in a real sense, they will be accompanied by their father or brother, go to the depths of the wasteland to hunt those ordinary wild wolves, when they are teenagers, they have to try to go into the wasteland alone with some friends to hunt, and these are things that human children can never do, in fact, when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they already have some combat skills, and have learned a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild, but they still can't survive in the wild on their own.
"Come with me and meet the ferocious savages, this is a very rare opportunity!" said Rryant to me.
In Rryant's opinion, being able to get in touch with these barbarians from the ice and tundra before graduating is a very rare and valuable asset for these students. Ryan even subconsciously thought that this time I was very lucky to go on a trip, and I didn't meet those barbarians, so I was able to return safely.
Little did he know, I had spent several nights with the barbarians, and had a simple understanding of their habits. And Ryant wanted me to follow him, also with the intention of increasing my knowledge. He probably thought that I was a lover of wild travel, so it was rare to come across such a good opportunity to experience the true strength of those barbarians, so he insisted that I should follow him to the front lines.
At this time, I suddenly thought of Tracy, and when she knew that I was going to follow Ryan to the battlefield with the teachers and students of Stans College, I didn't know what kind of mood she would feel......
