Volume 1 Set Sail Chapter 12 A Busy Morning
The next morning, just after dawn, Konya walked down the stairs.
"Yo. Little one, why do you get up so early. Fiona, who was about to open at the bar, asked in surprise when she saw her.
"Didn't anyone else get up?" Konya asked, looking at the empty hall.
"They all came back late yesterday, and I think they're all still asleep." Fiona continued, "What? Can I help you? ”
"Nope." Konya replied coldly, "I'm going out, and I guess I'll be back tomorrow." Don't let them come to me. ”
"Huh? What are you? Fiona noticed that Conya was carrying a duffel bag behind her and asked suspiciously.
"I'm going fishing." With that, Konya walked towards the gate.
"Be careful on the road." Fiona said to Konya's back.
It was about time for breakfast, and Eugari came to the hall.
"Morning!" Seeing Fiona, who was busy greeting guests, Yugari greeted.
"Good morning, little one." Fiona wiped her hands and asked, "How was it, did you sleep well when you came back so late yesterday?" ”
"It's alright." Eugari replied.
At this time, the three Mei sisters had also come to the hall and started a busy day's work.
"Everybody's up so early."
"Isn't it?" Fiona said, "Not only did the president get up early to join the Guild Alliance, but the silver-haired girl also went out fishing early. ”
"Huh? They went out so early. Yugari was a little surprised, "What about Yaqi?" Did she go with Konya? ”
"No, I don't. She seems to have come back late yesterday, so she must still be sleeping. Fiona replied.
At this moment, Miria, Brala, and the butler happened to come down from the upper floor.
Eugarie immediately beckoned them to join them for breakfast.
"How's your injuries doing? Are you all better? As everyone sat around a square table for breakfast, Eugari asked.
"Thanks to you, my injuries are almost healed." The butler replied politely.
"Me too, thank you for your help." Brala replied in a serious way.
"That's good." As she ate her breakfast, she asked, "What are your plans for next?" ”
"I just wanted to ask you, too." Miria put down the cutlery in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to Yugari, "Do you know where there is a flower shop nearby?" ”
"Florist? I don't really know about that. Are you going to buy flowers? Yugari asked curiously.
"Hmm. Yesterday some of my servants were buried on the other side of the forest, and since I had lost a lot of my family a while ago, I wanted to go to the forest in the morning. Miria said.
"Well...... "Well," said Yugari after a moment's thought, "Actually, we've only been here for a short time, and we're not very familiar with the city. I'll help you after breakfast in a while. Sister Luqi likes to grow all kinds of flowers and plants, and I think she must know where there is a flower shop nearby. ”
"That's fine." Miria replied.
So, after breakfast, Eucaria took Miria and Brala to the backyard, and at this time, Luqi happened to be watering the flower bed, and her mouth was constantly humming a tune.
Yujiali stepped forward, "Sister Luqi, it's morning." ”
"Good morning, lovely boys." As she poured the water, she turned her head to greet Yugari and the others, a big smile on her face.
"We want to ask, do you know where there is a flower shop nearby?" Eugari asked.
"Florist. What are you going to do there? ”
"We want to bring some flowers for some of our deceased friends......"
"What?" Lu Qi's face immediately became serious, "You said you want to buy flowers?" ”
"This ......," Yugari said with some embarrassment.
"If you need flowers, why go to another flower shop? Have you forgotten that I am one of the greatest plant experts? No matter what kind of flowers and trees it is, I know its characteristics, habits, values, and its history from ancient times to the present. Don't forget the badge made of the fruit of the Tree of Creation that the Twins gave you when you came out, and the badge that I used many of my precious plants. But now that we're talking about flowers. First of all, it is usually composed of a corolla, calyx, receptacle, stamens. And for me, a knowledgeable plant expert, whether it's an open-air flower, or an indoor flower, whether it's an herbaceous flower, or a woody flower, it doesn't matter ......"
"Uh...... "I knew that when I mentioned the topic ......of plants, Sister Luqi would talk endlessly as if she had changed someone." Yuri complained in her heart.
"Excuse me, I'll tell us about that knowledge when I'm free......" Yugari chimed in, "if there's a suitable flower for us right now?" ”
"Oh well. Although I am very disappointed that you children do not ask for understanding, I am more than happy to introduce you with some suitable plants for memorial purposes. With that, Lu Qi led everyone to a nearby flower bed with white flowers.
"Look at these plants with white flowers." "This plant is a new variety that I have recently successfully cultivated, and I named it 'Flower of the Stubborn and Tenacious Guardian of the Bones'. ”
"That's a long name." Yugari complained.
"With plenty of sunlight and the right temperature, these plants can grow up to more than two meters tall, and the most remarkable thing is that they grow very fast at first, and they usually bloom the next day after planting." At this time, Lu Qi pointed to the other flower beds nearby and said, "You see, the other plants that have been planted have not yet grown, and some are just seedlings. This is the only flower that I planted yesterday and is now in full bloom. ”
"So amazing?" Miria said in amazement.
"That's nature." Lu Qi proudly continued, "This flower blooms every morning and withers in the afternoon, day after day, as long as the sun, temperature and nutrients are sufficient. Not only the color is moist, the smell is fragrant, fresh and elegant, but also the vitality is extremely tenacious, and it can be directly plugged into the appropriate environment within half a day after cutting. What's even more remarkable is that this plant can also slow down the decay of corpses, disperse small animals such as insects and birds around them, reduce the impact of toxins, and slow down nausea, dizziness, paralysis and other adverse effects. Even if you wear a specimen on your body, you can maintain the effect for more than ten days, which is amazing. ”
"That's a good fit for our needs." Miria said seriously, "With so many effects, I think it should be at least an 'excellent level' material, right?" ”
"Not at all." Lu Qi suddenly lowered his shoulders and said in frustration, "It's barely an 'ordinary level' material." Because my research has found that this plant is completely incompatible with any other material, which means that it cannot be used to craft higher materials at all. And it also has a strong exclusivity, as long as there is one plant within a certain range, no matter how much it can improve the effect, it will also rob other nearby plants of nutrients. So I didn't plan on planting a lot. ”
"That's right...... But that's already remarkable. Yujari comforted her in embarrassment, and then asked Miria, "Do you think it's okay to take these flowers with you?" ”
"Well, I think...... So-so, barely. Miria said slightly arrogantly.
"What a guy who doesn't confess." Lu Qi complained.
"Then I'll pick some more for you." As she spoke, Luqi cut a lot from the flower bed, then tied it into a large bunch and handed it to Miria.
"Thank you very much." Brala said seriously.
"Where, don't be so polite." Lu Qi happily responded, "If you want to know anything about flowers and trees in the future, just come to me, I also have a lot of rare plants here to introduce to you." ”
"Well, thank you." Yugari thanked.
After leaving the backyard, Milia, Blala, and the butler drove the carriage in the direction of the Vigil Forest.
Eugari saw off Miria and returned to the hall again. At this time, it was still a long time before noon, and there were few guests in the hall. Just as Eugarie was about to tidy up the table and chairs, she suddenly heard a shrill voice shouting in front of a dining table in the distance, "What did you say?!" ”
Eugarie followed the voice, and Mei was arguing with a small, angry man.
"I mean, we can't take credit here, this guest meow." Maye said with a serious face.
"What?! Do you know who I am?! I'm the captain of the 'Black Wind Mercenaries' guild! The man shouted loudly.
"I don't know about this. All I know is that we don't allow me to take credit here. Maye replied with a cold face.
"Presumptuous! You go and inquire, our Black Wind mercenaries are the most powerful guild here, a three-star guild! Our guild keeps accounts for all the restaurants in the city. Do you understand? The man continued.
"I don't know much about this, we just recently moved here." Mei Yi still replied with an indifferent face, "At present, there is no such thing as accounting in our store." So, please pay in cash. ”
"What kind of attitude do you have?!" The skinny man stood up and yelled as he grabbed Maye by the collar.
"We don't have a good attitude towards guests like you." After Maye finished coldly, she grabbed the man's arm and threw him out.
After rolling on the ground a few times, the man quickly stood up, immediately took out a dagger from his waist, and said viciously to May, "I don't think you want to live anymore!" ”
At this moment, Fiona stepped forward from behind, grabbed the man's neck, and lifted him up with force.
The man immediately struggled with all his might, his legs kept kicking, the dagger was thrown to the ground, and his two hands kept holding Fiona's arm back, crying out in pain, "Let go...... Let go of ......"
"We're not the place for you to make trouble." Fiona warned solemnly. Then he carried the man to the door and threw him out, not forgetting to take out a few copper plates from the man's pocket as cooking money on the way.
It took a long time for the man to get up, and seeing that he was weak, he shouted to Fiona, "Wait, I'll bring someone to show you bastards!" With that, he limped away immediately.
After Fiona returned to the hall, she said helplessly to Yujiali: "It's inevitable to meet this kind of person in business, it's really a headache. ”
"Yes, it's hard to do anything." Eugari said approvingly.
Finally seeing off all the guests of the morning, just as everyone had gathered in the hall to rest, Shanna walked in through the door, holding a thick stack of papers in her hand. At this time, Bai Lu and Kailin also came to the hall.
Shanna walked to the bar, faced everyone, and said flatly, "It just so happens that you are all here." I just got back with a lot of commissions from the Guild Alliance. ”
"Delegate?" Yugari said curiously.
"Exactly. We've already told you about our goals. I think the quickest way to achieve your goal is to do more delegated tasks. ”
"That's right." Yugari whispered in agreement.
"So in the morning, I'm going to get back all the commissions that I posted today."
Hearing this, Yugari said in surprise: "What do you ...... All......? ”
"Yes, 141 in total."
"So many commissions ......"
At this time, Shanna took out a part of the thick document and said, "These are all commissions related to investigation and consultation, a total of 49 pieces, Bai Lu, I will hand them over to you." As he spoke, he reached out and handed the document to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu stepped forward and took the document, "No problem, it must be completed as soon as possible." ”
Then, Shanna took out a large part of the remaining documents, "These are hunting and gathering commissions, 71 pieces, Kailin, you go." ”
Kaylin nodded, took the papers, and walked out.
"This is a long-distance commission to assist in the escort, you can take Li Yaqi and the others with you." Shanna took out a document and handed it to Yugari.
"Okay. Leave it to us. Yugari replied as she took the papers.
"I'll take care of the rest." With that, Shanna received the rest of the documents into the magical space.
"Any questions?" Shanna waited for a while to see that no one spoke, and continued, "Then let's do it first. Feel free to come to me if there's anything along the way. Then he turned and went upstairs.
"Let me see what the commission is." After Shana left, Li Yaqi immediately couldn't wait to talk to Youjiali.
"I'll take a look." With that, Youjiali opened the file and read it to Li Yaqi.
"Recruit three to five commissioned assistants. At least be a member of the official guild of the Guild Alliance. Assist the 'Followers of the Black Knights' guild (a one-star guild) in their quest to escort the caravan to the Night City. The details are as follows......"
When Yugari finished reading, she took out the brochure that introduced the surrounding situation of Starlis, and said to herself as she flipped through it, "I'll take a look, Night City...... City by Night...... Over here! …… It seems to be quite far away, but from the map, it looks like it is in the south-central region of the adventurer's kingdom. ”
"Really? That's good. Li Yaqi said happily, "We just have the opportunity to go and see what other cities are like." Maybe there are some strange pets waiting for me on the way. ”
"Hmmm! That's right. Yugari also said with anticipation at this time, "Take this opportunity to visit other parts of the kingdom, maybe there will be some unexpected gains." We'll pack our bags for a while, and when Konya returns, we'll tell her the news, and then we'll be ready for the next morning's trip. ”
"Good ——!" Li Yaqi shouted excitedly.
