Chapter Twenty-Six: Shopping
"It's Kuching City ahead, we're going to buy something." Barthes. Willie asked outside the carriage.
"Go ahead...... Wait a minute, I'll take a look too. ”
Hathaway changed her mind when she saw Irona's expectant eyes. The mood for the past two days was good, although the fighting qi was always maintained in the bronze second ring, she could feel that the fighting qi in the five qi veins was gradually filling and condensing, and she believed that with the stabilization of several qi veins, there would be a new improvement.
In addition to cultivating Douqi, of course, magic also has to be practiced, for the magic that has been mastered, the key is the speed of spellcasting, these days she has been practicing the speed of casting magic, except for the new construction of a zero-level light magic healing technique, there is no other spell model. This kind of ascetic-like life does make her a little boring, and it is also a good thing to feel the social atmosphere of this world.
"Miss, there are a lot of people there, do you see if it's ......" Barthes. Willie was a little embarrassed.
"Barth, you're worried about those people, aren't you? It doesn't matter, at the beginning, they may not be able to react, after such a long time, I am afraid that they have adjusted, and from today on, we don't have to sleep in the wilderness every day. Hathaway said.
Those who tried to target her should have adjusted their rhythm after this period of panic, if they really didn't have a clue, even Hathaway looked down on them a little, and the next time should be a real meeting.
In public, even a magic apprentice is more awe-inspiring than an ordinary aristocratic lady, and when Hathaway glanced coldly at the small city guard in the robes of a magic apprentice, the guard suddenly felt that his body was stiff, and his back was soaked in cold sweat, and the entrance fee was naturally saved...... This is also considered a benefit for magicians.
"When I go to Casif Province this time, the first thing I will do is to verify the magic level first, and have an official magician identity, and those who want to provoke should also think carefully." Hathaway was also very emotional when she saw the performance of the guard.
"Miss, let's find a place to live first, do you have any requirements?" Barthes. Willie asked.
"Clean and quiet." Hathaway said it succinctly.
There is no need for special understanding of cleanliness and nature, the key is quietness, which is a requirement that is convenient for others to act and for oneself. However, there is usually no such thing as assassination in this kind of city, after all, Hathaway's identity is different, and if she acts here, there is a danger of exposure.
Barthes. Willie was clearly not the first time he had traveled long distances, and Hathaway suspected that he had been to Kuching City...... Without even asking for directions, he found a small inn and rented a room on three floors.
It's hard to say if it's quiet, but it's clean. Hathaway, after inspecting her room to her satisfaction, made a few more marks, gave a few words to the shopkeeper, and then took Ilona shopping, as for the dwarven girl...... This girl was born with a grudge against the pillow, and as soon as she entered the room, she rushed **, and the pillowcase was almost gone.
"Hey, how much does this cost?"
"Hey, can it be cheaper?"
"Hey, I'll buy two, cheaper, right?"
……
After a while, almost all the vendors in the small city knew that there was a magic apprentice in the city who was particularly good at bargaining.
"Ugh!"
Hathaway burped, rubbed her slightly bulging stomach with a sense of happiness, and looked at the little maid who was holding on: "Ilona, is it delicious?" ”
Ilona said with a sad face: "It's delicious...... But not as good as the meat grilled by Miss. ”
"Well, when I have time, Miss will invite you to eat something more delicious."
Hathaway said with some smugness. Previous ...... That's how it should be said? Since she was in middle school, she has been eating alone, and when she gets tired of eating canteens and convenience foods, she does it herself. Later, she worked and had her own nest, and when she was resting, she was more enthusiastic about cooking, and she was a good cook, so she could definitely participate in the cooking competition.
Just after eating all over the town, it was not that she was greedy, but that she wanted to know more about the dietary structure of this world. Although the food in the small town may not be as refined as the estate, it tends to be more popular and varied.
A few noisy men turned into an alley ahead, and Hathaway noticed that the men were wearing some old leather armor and weapons, and the word 'mercenary' suddenly appeared in her head.
She followed the alley, too, and at the end of the alley there was a low tavern, into which the mercenaries had entered, and Hathaway had followed.
"Miss, this kind of place is too chaotic, it's not something you should go to as an identity." Ilona looked at the gloomy alley, a little frightened.
"Where mercenaries can go, what else is there to be afraid of as a magician?"
Hathaway smiled softly, reached out and pushed open the greasy tavern door, and stepped inside, Ilona helplessly following her, like a rabbit following a fox into a wolf's den.
Soon after the two entered, two figures appeared at the door, but it was Al. Wilkins and Tommy. Cooper .
"Tommy, can't you get in?" Al. Wilkins asked, a little embarrassed.
The two were ordered to protect Hathaway, and now that Hathaway entered such a chaotic place, they were both a little worried, but once they followed the tavern, they would inevitably be exposed to Hathaway, and the two didn't know how to explain to Hathaway.
"Can't get in."
Tommy. Cooper shook his head, "Why don't we just stay outside the tavern and wait?" ”
It seemed that this was the only way to go, and the two of them reluctantly found an inconspicuous place where it was convenient to keep an eye on the tavern door.
"Miss, it smells so bad." As soon as she entered the tavern door, Inona was so smoked that she sneezed and almost ran away.
"This smell...... It's really amazing! Hathaway shook her head, reluctantly enduring. The smell here is a strange smell created by the combination of shoddy liquor, high-fat barbecue, sweat, fox odor, and so on, and if you can tolerate this smell, you won't have to worry about any kind of harsh environment in the future.
"Let's sit down there for a while." Hathaway looked around and saw an empty table by the wall, and walked through the crowd with Irona.
"Miss, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Probably seeing that Hathaway was wearing ordinary clothes, a mercenary was bold, not only did he speak obscenely, but he stretched out his groping hand and touched Hathaway's buttocks.
"Rude!" Hathaway's body spun around at an unbelievable angle, and her right hand was already grasping the mercenary's arm, slamming it in the direction of his arm......
