"Roddy, I forgot to buy bread, are you free now?"

Ilya wore an apron and a spatula in her hand, and saw Roddy staring at the stove in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about something, so her voice was soft.

Although Liang Feifei heard what Ilya said, he didn't listen carefully, it was almost in a state of one ear in and one ear out, so he didn't react for a while, until Ilya asked again, she didn't react until she asked again, she was calling herself.

"Ahh ”

Liang Feifei realized that he was not deep enough to replace the identity of Luo Di, and he had to strengthen it in depth to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

"I'm Roddy, I'm Roddy. ”

Liang Feifei silently recited it in his heart a few times, and then Elijah smiled and took out eight pennies and handed them to Luo Di.

"Buy a penny of bread, and for the remaining sevenpence you can buy some other cooked food you want. ”

Luo Di looked at the eight coins in his hand fixedly, they consisted of a human head and a rice ear pattern, the overall look is not rounded, it is conceivable that this thing should be melted and directly knocked on with a mold engraved with a pattern and then cooled, so the outer outline of each piece is different.

Although it is not good-looking, it is still money.

However, Roddy was skeptical of its purchasing power, and eight coins on Earth would be enough to buy a pack of potato chips with an upgraded capacity.

"Go out and walk down Black Willow Street and soon you'll see a bakery called Donna. ”

At the urging of Elijah, Roddy finally put away his divergent thoughts and stepped onto Black Willow Street.

Looking at the bustling streets and the occasional unpleasant breeze, Roddy's eyes lit up slightly.

The lower town borders the outer town, and the Roddy house is only one street away from the outer town, so the roads are full of ragged beggars and of course well-dressed gentlemen.

There was also some sludge and dirty standing water on the road, as well as stinking feces, which filled him with curiosity.

This is a different world! a completely strange and mysterious world!

"Whew..."

Roddy took a deep breath, familiarized himself with the taste, and then found the bakery as described by his mother Ilya, and most importantly, the smell of bread was hard to ignore.

"A penny of bread. ”

The owner of the bakery was an old woman, not very good at eyeing but very good at hearing, and a very young waitress, wearing an apron and a headscarf, with very sharp hands and feet, skillfully packing a full amount of bread and handing it to Roddy.

"Good evening, sir, this is your bread. ”

Roddy nodded, glanced at the two thick and long loaves of bread that had been packed, paid the money and left, he planned to take advantage of the time he was buying bread to visit other places and get a preliminary familiarity with the future living environment.

Walking along the crowded place, holding the bread and looking all the way, Roddy found that while the flow of people was increasing, there were also some obvious changes in the surrounding buildings and the clothing of passers-by.

Most of the houses are single-storey, the walls are uneven, and there are many traces of handiwork, there are more beggars in ragged clothes, dirty children are everywhere, and if you are not careful, it is easy to step on some foul-smelling lumps.

What unfolded in front of him was a slum that he had only seen on the Internet.

Roddy stopped for a long time and did not go any further, but came to the market on Black Willow Street by asking passers-by, where he could buy the daily necessities he needed and sell the idle things.

Roughly speaking, it is not different from the vegetable markets of the earth, it is not dirty but it is very messy, most of them are stalls with hand-carts, and there are quite a few seats on the ground, except for some decent storefronts on both sides of the market, there are some strange shops.

For example, in a simple triangular tent where Luo Di stopped at this moment, there was a sign written in the lingua franca of the road outside the tent, which read:

Lucky Fortune Fortune House.

Probably Roddy was the only one interested in it, and the only one who stopped at the door, so a young girl in a black robe and a wizard's hat very warmly invited Roddy to go in and give it a try.

"Sir, you must be guided by the goddess of fate to be interested in divination, believe me in this must be a lucky thing, as long as you let me divinate once, I can do it without any charge!"

Roddy was going to give it a try with a playful mindset, but when he heard the words 'no charges', he immediately dismissed the idea.

As a 21st-century college student, he knows better than anyone that free means all sorts of unexpected extras, but he has suffered from unscrupulous merchants who sell beauty services on the roadside under the guise of free treatment.

It was an experience he didn't want to recall.

"I'm sorry, I'm just standing here when I'm tired, I won't go in for divination, even if it's free. ”

Out of politeness, Roddy explained that the girl dressed as a witch would continue to coax herself in with other rhetoric, but she stood there silently like a doorman, as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, you seem to have a great preconception about free, but in fact I agree with you, there is no such thing in the world as unearned, and there will be no free divination service. ”

It was a man dressed as a witch who was approaching from the other direction and told Roddy that he was the real soothsayer and that he had just gone to the toilet.

"Unless it's my apprentice, of course, even me, divination isn't expensive, only one-half pence at a time. ”

Roddy looked at him and wiped his left hand with his robe, frowning slightly, thinking to himself if there was really a difference between a half-penny and a free.

"As I said, I'm not going to do divination. ”

Seeing Roddy turn away, the soothsayer smiled and said:

"If you think the price is too cheap, I'll give you a sevenpence raise. ”

Roddy's footsteps stopped, and Elijah gave him eightpence before going out, and after deducting the money for the bread, there was exactly sevenpence left.

Whether it was a lucky coincidence or not, it did attract Roddy.

"I'm willing to pay sevenpence if the divination is accurate, and if it's not, I'll only pay one-halfpence and don't accept any extra services. ”

The soothsayer gracefully stretched out his hands, one to his chest and the other to the tent, and leaned slightly.

"Please come in, Mr. Lucky today. ”

Luo Di hesitated for a while, and finally chose to give it a try, after all, he had the experience of suffering a loss once, can people still plant in the same pit twice?

The tent was unsurprisingly only open for two people, and a low round table took up almost half of the space.

Roddy himself didn't like crowded places, but at this time he didn't complain or was even deeply attracted by the mysterious aura in front of him.

There was no oil lamp in the tent, but it was as bright as day, because of a crystal ball on the round table, which radiated a dazzling light like an incandescent lamp, and reflected a brilliant pattern like a star.
