Chapter 192: Garden and Pikejing (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
Originally, when the maids were going to give Solam a hairstyle that is now popular among nobles, Soram quickly refused, since seeing those funny aristocratic court dresses, Soram no longer believes in the aesthetics of these nobles, and the devil knows what this group of people will make their hair look like.

In the end, Solam's request was to be simple, just tie a ponytail casually, and not have to be so bells and whistles. Although those maids were a little regretful, they had to get such a low hairstyle with such a good body, but in the end, they were just maids, and they couldn't be the masters, so they had to do what Soram wanted.
Soon the maids did what Soram requested, and when they looked in front of the mirror, Soram felt very satisfied, although those knight uniforms were troublesome to wear, they actually looked pretty good, at least they looked very spirited.
When Soram appeared in the restaurant with a new look, everyone else looked at it, although Solam's image before could not be said to be sloppy, but no matter how you look at it, it was a turtle statue, and now it is a lot, the long riding boots and the knight's uniform with a shaped pen body make Soram look like that, Solam's body is slender and powerful, and he can see people as long as he wears it well.
It's just that Mavis is a little dissatisfied with Solam's hairstyle, it's too simple, just a ponytail, which doesn't quite match the atmosphere of the nobility. However, Mavis was already very happy to be able to do this, and if she forced Soram again, it would be counterproductive.
When eating, there were only three of them, and on the long and large dining table, it seemed a little deserted, looking at those exquisite tableware and porcelain imported from the East, Solam's meal was actually very boring. The food is polite and polite, a bit like the French food in the previous life, there are many dishes, but there is only one bite, and it is also one by one, which is cumbersome and unpleasant.
Maybe it's because the adventurers have been mixing for too long, and Solam likes to make noise when he eats, drinking and eating meat, and from time to time he makes a few yellow jokes, which is interesting. It's like now, eating a meal is like attending a funeral, everyone is sitting upright, not talking, depressed to death.
After finishing the meal, Solam couldn't wait to ask Mavis when he would see the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, his impression of the city was quite good, he didn't hate it, and he didn't like it much, the main purpose of his coming was the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, and he didn't care much about the rest.
"What? Aren't you used to living here? Mavis could see that Solam was very unaccustomed to eating when he first ate, even though the food was carefully prepared by the chef, but Solam didn't eat much. In fact, although Solam is not used to it, but it is not so bad as to his stomach, he really hasn't tasted it yet, so he finishes eating, and a dish is a small bite, which is feeding rabbits? Solam really lost his appetite in the end.
"It's not because of this, I still want to read the Book of Ten Thousand Laws as soon as possible, I can't wait now." Although when eating, I was a little unaccustomed to it, but everything else was fine, and Solam was not so pretentious, so I went out to eat later.
"Oh, that's good. As for the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, I think you'll have to wait, and this will have to wait until you meet the Queen. ”
"It's so troublesome, hasn't your queen already agreed? Why do you have to arrange it after seeing her? So when can I see her? "What Soram can't stand the most is this kind of red tape, where did so many things come from, anyway, the queen agreed, does it matter if you can't see it?
"......, why are you so frizzy? Now there are a lot of things in the kingdom, the queen is busy to death, how can I have time to see you now, you should be patient and wait first. ”
"Yes, if you want to learn magic, we can teach you that." Jacqueline felt that if Soram coveted the spells on the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, then there was no need to be in such a hurry, the two of them were high-level mages, and they kept a lot of spells, for the sake of Mavis's face, she didn't charge money, and gave Soram to watch for free.
"That's right, you can also learn alchemy from Jacqueline, your alchemy foundation is too poor, just let Jacqueline guide you, don't you know, Jacqueline is one of the best alchemy masters in the kingdom." Mavis had already planned to let Jacqueline teach Solam, and now it would be nice for Jacqueline to bring it up herself.
Jacqueline was a little dumbfounded on the side, she meant to let Soram read the book by herself, she didn't say that she wanted to teach him, why did she talk about herself, her requirements for accepting disciples are very high. Not everyone can be her apprentice, and no one can come if they don't have enough qualifications. However, since Mavis had already spoken, she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she made up her mind that if Solam was not good to build, then she would find another reason to send it away.
"No problem, if you want to learn alchemy, I can give you some pointers."
"Really?" Who doesn't want to learn alchemy, it's a real art of turning stones into gold, Soram has always wanted to learn it before, but Arlando is a two-knife knife, and Mavis is not very good at it, so Soram has no place to learn if he wants to.
"Of course." What can Jacqueline say, even if she is a little reluctant, but she doesn't want to spoil the atmosphere.
"That's great, how about starting today? I can't wait. "Solam has always been interested in new knowledge, especially alchemy, which is more mysterious than magic.
"Uh...... I'm afraid I don't have time lately, I've just been back recently, and I still have some things to do. Why don't you play in Silvermoon City for a few days, and then we'll get started. This is not a perfunctory remark on Jacqueline's participality, but she has been really busy lately.
"yes, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, you don't have much to do, play in Silvermoon City for a few days, and then you should rest. Mavis also persuaded that he felt that Soram was a little too anxious, but there was nothing wrong with that, after all, without this thirst for knowledge, he would not be a good mage.
"Okay." The words are all at this point, what else can Soram say, others have their own affairs, can they still force others to fail?
After dinner, Mavis and Jacqueline went to rest early, looking at Mavis's shyness look, Solam thought with evil taste, these two would not be Xiao Biesheng's newlyweds, so anxious to go to bed, it was really too long. But after thinking about it again, Solam felt that he was quite boring, the business of other people's two people, he was fooling up, even if these two were women, it was someone else's business.
As for Solam, he still honestly slept alone, although it was a little lonely, but the bed was too comfortable and soft, and Soram forgot about that little loneliness.
The night was silent, the next day was a good day, yesterday's clouds disappeared without a trace after a night of strong winds, and now it is cloudless, and the sun is softly sprinkled all over the earth.
Maybe the bed is too comfortable, causing Solam to be lazy in bed, Solam's work and rest in the past is still very regular, no matter how late he sleeps, he got up on time at eight o'clock the next day, and he actually slept until almost noon today.
After getting up, Solam learned from the maid who came in to serve that Jacqueline and Mavis had gone out early this morning, and they didn't know where they went.
But Soram didn't care too much, he also asked casually, and he came to this garden after getting dressed under the service of these maids. Solam hadn't looked at this garden carefully before, but now that he really walked into this garden, Soram found that this garden was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, there were not only many magical plants in these gardens, but also many precious flowers.
Most of the plants here are materials for refining potions, and some of them are precious spell casting materials, just these precious plants, simply calculated are worth more than 100,000 gold, which is really rich!
What's more, there are still a lot of picos in these gardens, because it was cloudy, these picos stayed in the nest and didn't fly out, Solam didn't notice it, today the sun is just right, the sky is cloudless, and these little things about the size of bees have run out.
Much like a tiny elf but with longer ears and thin wings, Pik Spirits are funny pranksters who love to lead travelers to get lost, but when they are confronted with evil creatures, they can be surprisingly furious. These mischievous people like to cheat misers out of their money, but they don't covet the money itself, but use it to taunt and frustrate the greedy.
If a Piktain prank is not greedy or has a good sense of humor, Pikelite will allow him to pick a reward among the treasures they have hoarded. Picks wear bright clothes, often hats, and shoes that show off their curly, pointed toes. The Picker is about 2.5 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds when it stands up. They speak the Wood and lingua franca languages and may also know other languages.
These little things don't look small, but they are naturally proficient in many strange abilities, such as they are born with an unusual talent for sabotage traps and lockpicking, and they will also make some homemade tools to destroy traps and unlocks, they are natural thieves. They are also natural gardeners, and they also love to take care of plants and flowers.
However, these little guys are difficult to catch with normal methods, so they can only summon them with spells and trap them with spells. After that, you can negotiate terms with them, don't look at these guys like to mischievous, but they are very trustworthy. Once you say yes, even if it's a verbal agreement, they will do everything according to the agreement, but you have to put up with their pranks from time to time.
Solam was going to come here for morning exercises, but he didn't expect to inadvertently disturb this group of little guys, these little guys saw a stupid big guy they hadn't seen run to their territory, and immediately fried the pot, these little things may have seen Soram as a thief or robber, so they screamed around Solam, and took out their DIY bows and arrows and began to attack Solam.
How could such a thing hurt Solam? Those little arrows only tickled Solam's body. But Soram can't do anything about them, this group of little guys doesn't listen to his explanation at all, Soram is not easy to fight back, Solam's tolerance for this kind of small thing is still quite high, and in the end, the maid who passed by relieved Soram.
