The city of Crystal Traces is already in a festive mood, with houses decorated with ribbons and a large ice sculpture of a baron in front of the door, praying for the blessings of the gods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I looked up and saw the splendid palace in the center of the crystal trace, which was like a European castle, with a strong aristocratic atmosphere. Its walls are no longer made of snow and ice, but are made of authentic multicolored crystals, which reflect colorful light in the sun.

Sindra, the rumored queen of the Crystal Trace, is a powerful magician and one of the ten diamond nobles under the Baron. She raised a huge ice crystal scorpion named Skana, a monster with a huge size and cruel nature, but it was obedient to Sindra, and it was a weapon for Sindra to deter the heroes of the ice field.

Perhaps it was the place where Caterina used to live in Bandle City that gave me a great irritation, and I now want to take it for myself as soon as I see a beautiful house, and give it to her as a gift in the future.

At this year's Crystal Marks Ice and Snow Festival, the most lively thing is the queen's selection of knights! This is the best chance for a commoner to become a nobleman, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Countless people squeezed their heads to get a knight spot, so this seemingly peaceful and prosperous crystal trace was actually already surging undercurrent. What I have to do now is to pass Sindra's knightly examination and enter the baron's aristocratic system, so that I will have a chance to conquer Valoran in my own way!

The weather was cold, and many of the street stalls had iron pots boiling hot broth, and the owners were shouting hard, attracting passers-by.

I walked down the street, smelling the aroma wafting from both sides, the worms in my mouth, and the pot of boiling broth exuded endless temptation, making me unconsciously move closer to it.

I came to a booth and sat down at a table in the open air. On the stove of this stall sits a large black pot, and in the pot is boiled a kind of beef unique to the ice field, ice beef! Large chunks of crystal clear ice beef mixed with the rich aroma of soup rolled in the pot, I secretly swallowed my saliva and said to the boss, "Boss, come to a big bowl of ice beef soup!"

"Okay! Sir! The boss agreed, turned around and took a bowl as big as a small basin, stepped on the stool, and scooped a large spoon deep from the pot to add enough ice beef to the bowl.

"Guest, your soup! Not enough can be added! The boss said with a smile.

"Thank you!" I smiled kindly at my boss and sighed at the reality of the Valorans.

I picked up my chopsticks, picked up a piece of ice beef, and was about to put it in my mouth, when suddenly I thought of something that made me extremely embarrassed, I didn't seem to have any money!

"That, boss, how much does this bowl of soup cost?"

"Guest officer, this bowl of soup only costs five gold coins!" The boss replied.

"Five? I don't have a single gold coin! I thought to myself.

"Boss, do you think this is okay for you?" I quietly pulled an ancient coin out of the void and placed it on the table.

"This is ......" the boss picked up the coin and looked at it with a frown.

I was a little apprehensive and didn't know if I could afford this meal.

"This, this, this, ......" The boss suddenly trembled his hands and became excited.

"This is the legendary ancient coin? The kind of ancient coins that have magical powers and can make their own gold coins? The boss muttered to himself.

"Boss? Okay, right? I asked again.

"Okay! That's great! No, no, no! It's too precious for me to take it! The boss put the coin back on the table after he finished struggling.

"What's wrong? Isn't that enough? "I knew that this coin was very valuable when I saw the boss's performance, so I deliberately teased him.

"It's not enough, it's enough! An ancient coin can be worth 10,000 gold, I am a small business, high cost, low profit, in this crystal trace is also a picture of food and clothing, all my net worth add up to not to mention 10,000 gold, even a thousand gold is enough to choke, you can't find it at all! The boss laughed.

"You're honest! I'll be honest with you, I only have this one money on me, so you can take it! It's a big deal, I won't let you find it! I said with a smile.

"What about then? Isn't that taking advantage of you! I can't do that! Let's just do it, I won't take your money anymore, just make a friend! The boss said.

"No, I don't have the habit of taking other people's things for nothing. You may see that this coin is very valuable, but it is just a coin to me, and I don't care. In this way, you accept this coin, I will stay in this crystal mark for a long time, and I will come to your house to eat the overlord meal in the future! ”

"Huh! That's fine! I'm not pretentious, I'll take it! If you come back in the future, I'll give you free for life! ”

"Haha! I'm not afraid to eat you and go bankrupt! All right! I'm going! ”

"Okay! You use it slowly! ”

I was in a good mood after solving the problem of food money, and I took a big sip of hot soup with the bowl in hand, and the aroma of beef swirled between my lips and teeth, flowing down my throat and into my stomach. The feeling of warmth from top to bottom was so refreshed that I sighed in admiration and picked up a piece of iced beef with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth.

Being able to drink such a bowl of hot beef soup on such a cold day is simply the top enjoyment of life.

Just as I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly heard the sound of swallowing saliva next to me.

I looked up and saw a dirty little girl standing next to my desk, her eyes fixed on the meat in my bowl.

"Little sister, do you want to eat?" Looking at the way she looked, I asked softly.

The little girl bit her lip, glanced at my bowl nostalgically, shook her head at me, and turned to walk forward.

Only then did I see the little girl wearing tattered clothes, stepping barefoot on the cold snow, her back was thin and delicate, which was distressing.

"Boss, bring me two more bowls of soup, and prepare a basin of hot water for me by the way!" I shouted at the boss and got up to catch up with the little girl.

"Little sister! Would you like to do my brother a favor? My brother greedily asked for three bowls of soup, and now I can't drink it, can you go and help my brother drink it together? Otherwise, it's a waste! ”

The little girl looked up, her purple pupils looked at my sincere smile, thought about it, and nodded.

"Come!" I happily took the little girl's hand and pulled her to the seat.

At this time, there were already three bowls of soup on the table, and the other two bowls had more meat in them, except for my one.

"Guest officer, hot water!" The boss pointed to the ground and smiled at me.

I smiled at him and put the basin of hot water at the girl's feet.

"Little sister, soak your feet!"

The little girl, who was drinking a bowl of soup, raised her head when she heard my words.

"You drink your soup, and I'll help you soak your feet." I smiled at the little girl.

The little girl looked at me with a complicated expression and said nothing.

I came to the little girl's side and crouched down, gently picked up her dirty but delicate feet, helped her roll up her trouser legs, and gently put them in the hot water.

"Is it hot?" I asked, looking up.

The little girl shook her head.

"Okay, then you soak first." I stood up, washed my hands, and sat down across from the little girl again.

"Boss, do me a favor!" I said to my boss.

"You say." The boss said.

"Well, you go buy me a girl's dress! I don't have the money to give it to you anymore......"

"Haha! No problem! Don't give me any more money, this one ancient coin is enough for me for decades, don't you mean to run on me? The boss said.

"It's my mistake, then thank you boss!"

"Small!"

"It's okay, you can go with confidence! I'll help you look at the stall. ”

After the boss left, I looked at the girl in front of me again.

The soup in her bowl was half gone, and she looked really hungry.

I took a piece of iced beef from the undrunk bowl and put it in her bowl: "Eat more!"

The little girl lowered her head and ate in small bites, and tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying?" I quickly wiped the tears from her face with my fingers.

"I miss my mom!" The little girl choked up.

"What about your mother?"

"My mom lost it!" The little girl began to cry again.

"Good, good! Don't cry! Eat while it's hot, can my brother help you find your mother? ”

"Really?" The little girl asked, looking up with tears on her eyelashes.

I was instantly conquered by this innocent eye.

"Of course it's true, my brother won't lie to you."

"Hmm!" Listening to my words, the little girl was obviously eager to drink the soup.

"Slow down, slow down, don't choke!" I said quickly.

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Annie!"

"Annie?" I was shocked.

Daughter of Darkness, Anne.

How did Anne become a street child?

"Brother, what's your name?" Anne asked cautiously.

"My name is Sang!"

Alas! Looking at her pitiful appearance, I thought that Annie's image of a little willful and a little black-bellied goth little Lori completely collapsed.

When Anne finished a bowl of soup, the boss returned.

The boss brought a princess dress and a pair of black shoes that are popular for Crystal Stain girls, and I picked Anne up from her seat and put her in the room provided by the boss with her clothes.

"Annie, you take a shower here and change into this outfit, and I'll wait for you outside!" I told Anne.

"Hmm!" Anne nodded obediently.

I waited outside for a short time, and Anne, who had changed her clothes, came out of the room.

Looking at the clean, pink-carved Anne in front of her, I couldn't believe that she was the same person as the dirty little girl before.

"Brother Sang!" Anne's voice was soft and sweet, with an intimate magic.

"Congratulations to the guest officer, I have such a beautiful sister!"
