Chapter 47: Backgammon

Early in the morning, Liviel and her party set out from the camp, and along the way, Charlotte and Liviel talked about some of the things that were happening on the border.

Before you know it, the sun has reached the very center of the sky, the blazing sun is shining on the earth, and a black dot slowly appears on the horizon in the distance.

Thetil rode close to the carriage, opened the curtains and said, "Miss, Master Liviel's border city fortress is almost here. ”

Liviel leaned out with both ends, and when she saw the black dots getting closer and closer, she stretched and said, "It's finally here, I'm tired." ”

In the distance, the towering walls were getting closer and closer, crawling like a giant beast on the earth.

"This wall is too high, it can be called a mountain." Liviel couldn't help but sigh.

"In addition to preventing the invasion of other countries, this border city has one of the most important places, and the reason why this city is called a fortress is because it can withstand the attacks of the tide of demonic beasts." The old man smiled and said very mysteriously: "You will not know how great this city is until you go in." ”

The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, and a breeze blew across Liviel's face.

It was almost time to reach the city gate, and the carriage slowed down. A long line waited in front of the tall metal gates.

Thetil rode a horse at the front of the convoy, because each city had a special passage for nobles to enter the city, so Liviel and the others also saved the time of queuing for inspection.

After showing the soldiers defending the city the customs clearance documents and the badges representing the nobles, the convoy slowly drove into the city.

A wide main road runs through the city, and in the middle of the city stands a tall tower. Above the spire is a round blue bead that radiates a reassuring glow.

"Grandpa, I can look around." Liviel asked.

The old man nodded, and turned to look for Thetil.

Liviel walks down the street, and the bustling streets are full of goods, so that people can't associate the town with the border where danger can happen at any time, but instead gives people a sense of calm and peace.

But Liviel also discovered that the stalls were mostly selling fruit and other food, and nothing but a few that sold jewelry.

Sure enough, entertainment can be said to be very little in this world.

"If you want only toys, you have to consider their financial level and be easy to use." Liviel thought as she walked.

Suddenly, the lattice of bluestone slabs on the ground attracted her.

"There it is!"

Liviel walked down the street looking for something, and finally found a shop with a hammer and anvil sign.

As soon as you walk into this shop, a variety of shields, long swords, short knives and other weapons are placed on the counter. Further inside, all kinds of daily necessities are neatly placed.

"Is anyone there, please?" Liviel shouted when she saw that no one had come out.

Still with no one answering her, Liviel continued to walk inside, to a cubicle in the back and appeared.

The cubicle was filled with books, the table was filled with strange woodwork, and a man in a taupe apron was sleeping in a chair.

"Hello kids, are you here to buy something?" A soft female voice rang out behind Liviel.

Liviel turned, and a faint fragrance crept into her nose about a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl dressed in a white floral dress with a pleasant smile on her delicate face.

"I want to ask you to make something for me, I don't know if it's okay?" Liviel said with a smile in response.

Lena Hansa smiled and said, "If you want to make it order, you have to tell my father, and I'll wake him up." ”

After saying that, he walked over to the sleeping man, and somewhere he took out a wooden stick similar to a baseball bat, which was different from the gentle and elegant it had shown before, and smashed it down with a gust of wind.

Just as he was about to hit it, the man who was still sleeping one second immediately bounced up the next second.

"Bang dang!"

The stick hits the chair, and the chair is broken in half, but it is extremely smooth, which is obviously a common occurrence.

Gudhansa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said with an expression of escape: "That... Daughter, are you doing this? ”

Lena Hansa put away the stick, squinted and smiled, and said, "Dad, if you sleep like this, you will miss out on business." ”

"Oh, look at me, I'm sorry, it's a bit messy." As soon as he heard that business was coming, Gude Hansa immediately changed his face, rubbed his hands and said, "What do you want to buy, little friend?" ”

Seeing the contrast between father and daughter, Liviel couldn't help but say in her heart: "What a wonderful father and daughter." ”

"Borrow your pen and paper." Liviel took pen and paper from the table and lay down on the table to draw. It was done in a few moments and handed to Gudher Hansa

Goode Hansa turned out to be a drawing, but his face was full of question marks.

He picked up the drawing paper and looked at it seriously, and asked with doubts, "Little friend, what is this thing you want to make?" I've never seen one before. ”

Liviel smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to do it." ”

Without asking too many questions, Gudher Hansa continued: "And what is this material made of?" I see that you still have to dot the lines on it, and you have to make so many flat two-color circles. ”

"Let's make the square things out of wood, and the balls can be made of resin, so that they can be easily dyed." Liviel thought for a moment and said.

Goode Hansa looked at the drawings and nodded, "I can do it, what are you going to take?" ”

Liviel touched her chin and thought, asking, "When can you finish it at the earliest?" ”

"It's hard to say, I have wood here, and as for resin, I still need to go out to buy it, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest." Goode Hansa said, looking at the drawings.

"No, it's too late." Liviel shook her head and continued, "In this way, I can purchase this gold coin and resin, and you can make it for me this afternoon." ”

At first, his face was a little ugly when he heard Liviel say that it was too late, but when he heard a gold coin behind him, his face disappeared instantly, and he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do it for you before this afternoon." ”

"Okay, it's a gold coin, I'll go out and get you resin." Liviel dropped a gleaming gold coin and walked out.

Goode Hansa picked up the gold coin, and said to Lena Hansa with a happy face: "You can come and help me this afternoon, this is a big customer, maybe we can even bridge with that noble son." ”

"Good, good, good." Lena Hansa looked at her father speechlessly.

Livielle, who came out of the shop, looked around, didn't see any resin-related shops, and said a little worriedly, "Where am I going to find resin in such a big town?" ”

The old man was standing on the high city wall at this time, looking at the turrets covered with scars all around, and couldn't help but sigh that time was really too fast.

In the battle with the Warcraft, he fought here for ten days, witnessing a bloody road paved with countless warriors.

But he remembered again that such a burden was now to be thrown to an eight-year-old Liviel, and the burden she had to carry was too heavy, which could not help but make the old man very distressed.

"Liviel, don't worry. As long as your grandfather is alive, you will not be in danger! The old man looked at the town under the city walls and swore an oath.

By this time, the sun had gradually set in the west.

Liviel finally found out where there was resin, and after a while of shuttling through alleys and alleys, she finally found it.

In a small pharmacy, Liviel buys the resin she has worked so hard to get.

Liviel returned to Goode Hansea's shop, and when she came to the back compartment, she found that the door of the cubicle had been opened, and Liviel pushed the door into a large courtyard.

At this time, Guld Hansa was polishing a square box, and Lena Hansa was adjusting something.

When the two of them saw Liviel come in, they both let go of what they were doing.

Goode Hansa wiped his hands with his apron and said to Liviel, "Well, the resin has been found." ”

Liviel handed the jar containing the resin to Gudher Hansa and said slowly, "This is the resin, please make it as soon as possible, please." ”

"Don't worry." Goode Hansa patted his chest and said very confidently: "I promise to make something for you quickly and well." ”

"Okay, that's enough for you." Liviel nodded, looked around and said, "Is there anything else you need my help with?" ”

Goode Hansa hurriedly said: "The customer is God, and if anyone dares to work in God, you can just rest." ”

"Poof" Liviel was amused by Goode Hansa's words, it was the first time she had seen someone so amused.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Liviel said with a smile, and then found a stool to sit on.

Goode Hansa and his daughter worked very well together, looking busy but organized, and it didn't take long for them to get ready.

A new brown box was placed in front of Liviel, and when she opened it, there were two more round boxes, each containing black and white balls.

I have to say that their craftsmanship is indeed very good, even the inside of the box is polished to be extremely smooth, and each ball is exactly the same size, and it feels comfortable in the hand.

"Very well done." Liviel looked at the box and exclaimed, then asked, "By the way, if I want to buy this thing, what should I do to circulate it in the market?" ”

Lena Hansa looked at the box and said, "You can sell it, but you have to know what this is used for before you can take it out and promote it." ”

Liviel smiled, opened the box, and laid everything out.

"This thing is called backgammon, and the sunspot plays first. Whoever gets five pieces up and down in any straight line first wins, and the pieces can be blocked from each other. Liviel gestured directly to the chessboard and said, "Would you like to give it a try?" ”

Lena Hansa looked at the chessboard and said, "The rules are surprisingly simple, so let's give it a try." ”
