Chapter 13: The Collector

Cooling off with ice cream on a sweltering summer day is a great treat for people with a healthy stomach.

"It feels better than modern ice cream, and it deserves to be a royal special."

Huang Luofeng only took a small bite of the royal ice cream produced by the royal chef of the Palace of Versailles, and was shocked by its mellow and rich taste.

That's right, ice cream was around the era, made by high-class pastry chefs using the classic salt-and-ice refrigeration method.

It has to be said that ice cream in this period was a luxury only on the aristocratic table, and the silver cups embossed with irises and the small silver spoons used to scoop food all show nobility and elegance.

Interestingly, the French Revolution also played a significant role in the promotion of ice cream.

As a large number of aristocrats were guillotined, fancy confectioners who had lost their customers spread across Europe with the secrets of making ice cream, and many opened cafes and restaurants to give the masses access to this delicious and unique dessert.

"Liuyun, don't you feel bored when you sit motionless on the bed and meditate and practice all day long?" Huang Luofeng picked up a cup of ice cream and handed it to Qi Liuyun, "Come, eat some ice cream." ”

"Isn't it boring to go to work every day? It's not all about survival. Qi Liuyun took the ice cream and took a bite, "By the way, why haven't I seen your figure in the past two days?" ”

"I worshipped a master of swordsmanship yesterday and was going to learn from him for a while." Huang Luofeng leaned against the wall, shaking a milky white folding fan.

This folding fan is made of ivory, and the carving is intricately beautiful, and it is a gift from a nobleman.

He was now a popular man at the king's side, and as a result, he became the object of the French aristocracy, receiving many gifts and invitations to banquets every day.

Huang Luofeng refused all invitations to the banquet, but he did not refuse gifts.

Most of the gifts given by these nobles were exquisite objects or works of art, which greatly satisfied his desire to collect.

Huang Luofeng, who is a bit of a collector, used to follow the trend of collecting tickets and stamps when he was a child, and later played games and liked to collect various items and achievements.

For example, when he played "The Elder Scrolls 5", he didn't do the tasks and didn't brush the dungeons, he liked to collect books and equipment, and he was obsessively obsessive, and he used the cheats if he couldn't get them, and then placed them neatly in the house and displayed them neatly. If you look at it when you're fine, you can reap a full sense of happiness and accomplishment, and delete the game when you're tired of watching it.

"If you want to learn the sword, I can teach you." Qi Liuyun said lightly.

"What, you can wield a sword?" Huang Luofeng was stunned, "You didn't say it earlier!" If I knew that I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to find Ren to learn Western swords, would Dugu Jiujian do? ”

Qi Liuyun didn't answer, just looked at Huang Luofeng with a smile.

"Just kidding, hehe." Huang Luofeng, who was bored with himself, hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It is said that this Heavenly Paradise can be exchanged for skills and weapons, but it can't directly use points to strengthen attributes like in the novel, and the so-called skills are only to provide a method of cultivation, and you need to practice from scratch, which is really inhumane." ”

"So you have to hurry up and train, otherwise with your current physical fitness, it is easy to die in the next game." Qi Liuyun took a bite of ice cream, and continued, "To be honest, this time it's just your luck that you met a world that suits you to play, if you have a Resident Evil or something next time, I guess you will be gameover when you open the door." ”

"Hey, don't flag me!" Huang Luofeng put the folding fan away, his expression was complicated, "When you say this, I start to panic a little......

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

Before Huang Luofeng finished speaking, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me." The four waiters moved into two large tin boxes.

The box was opened, revealing the sword and armor of the Templar magistrate, and it had been two days before they had been delivered to Huang Luofeng's residence.

The court attendants thoughtfully sprayed the two pieces of equipment with perfume, so now they are fragrant and do not smell the slightest peculiar smell.

It also comes with a walnut dummy, which puts the armor that originally belonged to the Templar correctional officer on the wooden figure, which not only fully displays the details, but also serves as a high-end ornament. As for the Sword of Punishment, it was also placed on the display shelf of the fireplace.

"Look, can you put it in this position?" The court attendant bowed and asked.

"Yes, yes." Huang Luofeng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"You're so polite." The court attendant smiled humbly, "It is our honor to serve the Venerable Prophet. ”

At this time, the careful Huang Luofeng noticed that there were two young waiters who seemed to glance at the ice cream as if they were salivating, and he smiled when he saw this scene.

"Take it and divide it, and it will be regarded as a reward for my service."

Huang Luofeng pointed to a large bowl of ice cream on the table - because he disliked the silver cup being too small and was afraid that he would not be able to enjoy it, so he specially asked for a large bowl so that he could add it himself after eating.

"Thank you for the reward."

The waiters' eyes suddenly lit up, as if they were given a bowl of golden sand. They bowed again and again, and withdrew with a thousand thanks.

It is no wonder that they reacted in this way, as the humble status of waiters, they were not entitled to such aristocratic delicacies. It's good to watch the nobles eat it, imagine the taste, and enjoy it, but most commoners have only heard of it in their lives.

After the waiter left, Huang Luofeng's gaze fell back on the two loot, whether it was the Sword of Punishment or the Armor of Punishment, they were all cleaned up at this moment, without a single stain.

"The armor of punishment is a knight's armor, which is not only heavy but also affects physical activity, and is not suitable for dismounting and fighting, so the value of collecting and commemorating is greater than the practical value."

The Armor of Punishment had been badly damaged, especially the breastplate and helmet, which had almost been shattered into a hornet's nest by projectiles.

Then Huang Luofeng picked up the sword, weighed it in his hand, waved it a few times, and handed it to Qi Liuyun.

"As for this Sword of Punishment, it is just an ordinary sword in our hands, and it cannot unleash a Holy Light attack like that Templar Disciplinary Officer. It should be a certain requirement for the user itself, and this requirement may be a spiritual attribute, or a supporting exercise, or a ritual to recognize the Lord or something. Therefore, this so-called silver-grade holy artifact can only be used as a collectible item at present. ”

"In other words, we managed to eliminate the boss, and we only got two precious collectibles?"

The two of them now feel like they are in a game copy of the character explosion, fighting monsters and bursting out of a superb piece of equipment, but they happily look at it - the profession does not match and cannot be equipped.

"That's right." Huang Luofeng said, "But the potential value is still quite high, the introduction of the Sword of Punishment mentions the Sword of Kings, I don't know if it's King Arthur's." It's a hint that, according to the routine, Paradise doesn't give useless information, and there seems to be a lot of secrets to dig up inside. ”

"The identification given by the black ring is too brief, there is no explanation of the method of use, and it is not much different from not having been identified, this system is too perfunctory." Qi Liuyun put down the empty silver cup, feeling a little sorry that Huang Luofeng had just given away all the ice cream.

"You can't say that, exploration is one of the great pleasures of the game." Huang Luofeng said with a smile, "But I still want to complain about the revelation of this cheating father, what kind of intelligent AI assistant, after the level information appears, it enters a state of pretending to be dead, and does not reply to anything, which is seriously unworthy of the name." ”
