Chapter 10

"If that's the case, I'd like to go back to the streets when that time comes, and there will be more fun with more people." Shen Xing River Road.

"Okay." The man looked back at him.

The two rode out of the palace gate and came to the main street of Phantom Night City, which is the most prosperous street in the city, connecting the city gate and the palace.

Speaking of the trade of Phantom Night City, it is somewhat similar to the feeling of ancient China, there are also places like silk shops, silver horns, and jade shops, of course, they have their own names, Shen Xinghe will often find that the people of this world are very familiar with things that are unheard of to him, such as those magic stones that can be used to improve magic power, as well as storage rings like rings, bracelets, storage rings, and so on.

Because it is not yet completely dark, the lights on the street are not very bright, there are not too many pedestrians, and there is no such effect of loud voices. However, the stalls are more than twice as many as Shen Xinghe's time when he came, so they are more crowded. Shen Xinghe also knew that because of today's event, many merchants gave up their original stalls to people from other places, leaving only stalls that could represent the city's specialties.

The two of them didn't wander around the city, but went straight to the place where Sydo and his soldiers were resting temporarily, which was a place for representatives of Phantom Night City and other city-states to communicate, somewhat similar to the embassies of various countries on Earth. Because of the grand event in Phantom Night City, some other regions have also sent envoys over, and Xido is responsible for receiving them.

"How's it going?" After handing over the horse to the soldiers, He Ningzhou took Shen Xinghe to meet Xiduo, who was in the hall at this time.

"Everything works." Hitso's face and voice were the same as ever.

"Okay," He Ningzhou nodded, "Then please pay more attention, I'll go up with His Highness to rest for a while, and then go out when there are more people." ”

Seedo said he understood. He Ningzhou beckoned Shen Xinghe to follow him.

Upstairs was a temporary lounge for VIPs, and the two entered the spare room. The space here is not very large, but it is delicately arranged, with sofa-like seats, which look soft and comfortable; There is also a small bookshelf, a small vase on a low table in front of the chair, and the window is facing the main street of Phantom Night City, so you can see the bustling scenery of the street.

Shen Xinghe sat down on the sofa, and the man sat beside him.

"By the way," Shen Xinghe thought of one thing, and turned his head to look at the person next to him, "Did you arrange the previous event like this?" I mean, Ann and Xilai are in charge of guarding, and you and Bao are idle? "If that's the case, it's too much of a bully.

"Not really," the man smiled, "I have to give them a chance to go shopping, we arrange it alternately, for example, the next year it may be me and Ann to guard, and the next year it will be me and Bao." However, Nozomi is not interested in going shopping even during his breaks. He looked a little helpless as he spoke.

Shen Xinghe knew very well, just smiled, didn't make a comment, and continued: "Then let's buy something later, I just noticed that I don't seem to have any money on me." Speaking of "money", Shen Xinghe has only seen them in books, and he has not had a chance to see them yet.

"I have, but I don't need it." He Ningzhou couldn't help but smile, "That's right, all the goods tonight are free for guests, you can take it as long as you like, and you can also taste those foods at will." Don't worry," the man seemed to see Shen Xinghe and immediately wanted to ask a question when he heard his words, and explained directly: "There will never be such a phenomenon as 'crazy robbery' on the street, everyone chooses what they need, and the food is also tasted with their own utensils." Of course, if something is new and popular, there will be a lot of people who will take it, and if you go late, you won't see it. ”

After listening to him, Shen Xinghe had a lot of good feelings for the people in this world.

"But," he still had a question, "isn't it a loss for those merchants from other cities and countries to come all the way to bring their things and give them away for free?" ”

As if he had expected him to ask, he calmly explained, "Every foreign merchant can come here," he said, referring to the embassy, "and register with the person in charge, and the silver treasury of Phantom Night City will reimburse them for all their travel expenses, and they will also pay them ninety percent of the amount for their goods, and the other ten percent will be a little bit of their heart for all the guests." ”

"I see." Shen Xinghe likes this very much.

Tonight's Phantom Night City is bustling.

By the time Shen Xinghe and the others came to the street again, it was already completely dark, and the street was brightly lit, and the lights infused with magic were bright without the slightest reservation at this time, giving people a clear and real feeling, so that people could completely open their hearts and devote themselves to this grand event. Relatively speaking, the sky is pure tonight, and the stars seem to be much dimmer.

When his eyes inadvertently came into contact with the crowd, Shen Xinghe suddenly had a feeling - there were many pedestrians at this time, but the streets did not seem crowded and noisy, and every stall made people feel very warm, and Shen Xinghe could see the slight smiles on people's faces, showing that they appreciated this event very much. Because of the light, Shen Xinghe couldn't see people's hair color and pupil color clearly, their hairstyles and clothes were still very different from his original world, but quite in the style of medieval Europe, there were no modern facilities at that time, but it made people feel simple and leisurely.

He was walking with interest, looking around, when the person next to him suddenly said, "By the way, there is something that should be handed over to you." ”

"What is it?" Shen Xinghe raised his head and looked at him.

He Ningzhou stopped, and Shen Xinghe was also standing in front of him, only to see him holding up a hand and chanting silently in his mouth, and saw that there was an extra ...... in his palm out of thin air Shen Xinghe couldn't see what this was for the time being, but he was very surprised by what was happening in front of him.

Can he conjure things up like magic? Shen Xinghe was puzzled, but suddenly had an idea-by the way, there are things like storage rings in this world, and this person's action just now should be to take out the things he has stored. Shen Xinghe looked at his palm carefully, it was a small transparent diamond, and there was a needle-like structure on the back, much like the earrings in the previous world.

"These are storage stud earrings," the man explained, "to be worn on the ears as decorations and to store things." Its space is infinite, and anything can fit into it as long as it can be moved and cannot breathe. Speaking of this, the man looked at Shen Xinghe, and his smile deepened slightly, "This is what I asked me to give you, at this grand event, you can put anything you like in it, of course you need to recite a spell, I'll tell you now." After speaking, the man handed the earrings to Shen Xinghe.

After listening to him finish the spell, Shen Xinghe looked at the thing on his hand fixedly, and at this time, if he looked closely, its texture should be the same as the ring given by He Ningzhou, it was a blue diamond, and if it was in the daytime, it should have a very good effect. Shen Xinghe in that world didn't wear studs, but he didn't reject them, and speaking of which, he really didn't know if he had pierced ears to wear them.

"Come, I'll put it on for you." The man saw that Shen Xinghe unconsciously stretched out his other hand to caress his earlobe, so he smiled and reached out to take the ear stud, leaned down slightly and put it on his right ear.

Shen Xinghe touched his right ear, and he could feel the texture and temperature of the diamond; I poked into my left ear again, and when I touched the same position, there was a little depression, which should be a very small hole, and it turned out that the owner of this body had pierced the ears before? It's just that it's strange that I'm only wearing one stud earring now?

Putting down his hand, Shen Xinghe's gaze moved to the person in front of him, and he had a lot to say for a while, and the first thing he said was: "Is it good-looking?" Isn't it weird to wear it on just one side? ”

The man's expression revealed a little reassurance, and the corners of his lips rose a little, "It's beautiful, it's not strange, many people wear it like this." When He Ningzhou spoke, he kept looking at Shen Xinghe: because he was not yet an adult, the overly beautiful appearance of the person in front of him even made it impossible to distinguish his gender, coupled with the red hair, today's earrings have added a little temperament to him, it should be heroic, although it is very little, it is difficult to ignore.

This kind of him is even more attractive.

"If you want to give me something, why don't you just send it to me? Also, why didn't he give it to me at this event instead of giving it to me? In fact, Shen Xinghe has another idea, that is, now that he has the gifts of He Ningzhou and An Hebao, it is natural to think about whether the last person will also give something and the content of the gift, of course, such a question is not easy to ask.

He Ningzhou motioned for Shen Xinghe to follow his footsteps, and the two walked on the street again, He Ningzhou said: "In the past, because you were still young, there was nothing that needed to be kept, and you only needed to accompany you to hold it for you during the event." As for why he didn't hand it over to you himself......" he said, showing that the reason was not complicated, "because he wanted to give you it last night, and you happened to be not next to him, and he thought it wasn't a valuable gift and asked me to pass it on." After speaking, he smiled again, looked down at Shen Xinghe, and had some ill intentions, "Are you thinking, the three of us have given you something, what will Xi give you?" ”

"......" Shen Xinghe couldn't help but look away, as if he had been poked in the center, "No." Well, then please thank Bao for the gift for me, I like it very much. ”

"Okay," He Ningzhou nodded, "Is there anything you particularly want and want to eat?" Or just take a look at it first? ”

Only then did Shen Xinghe begin to pay attention to the stalls around him, and at this time, he could understand the mood of those who liked to go shopping, because the things on each stall looked so attractive.

"What's that?" Shen Xinghe pointed to an ornament that looked like a coral tree, although it looked like coral, but the texture was very different, it seemed to be glass but faintly glowing. The workmanship of this tree is exquisite, lifelike and vivid.

"It is carved from the magic stones that are abundant in the Bad Yala Mountains, because the magic stones are very hard, and there are not many people in the world who can do this kind of carving technology. Do you know where Mount Batyara is? He Ningzhou asked Shen Xinghe, and there was a sense of testing him in his eyes.

Shen Xinghe thought about it, because he had only been in this world for a little more than a month, and although he had learned a lot of lessons in the cultural class, he had only learned from all aspects of the country, and this Bad Yala Mountain was not located in the territory, so Shen Xinghe didn't know anything about it.

"I don't know." Shen Xinghe's voice lowered, a little lost.

The man didn't tease Shen Xinghe for this, but preached to him: "Batyala Mountain is located in the territory of the country of Libes, this country has a very good relationship with our country, because it is rich in magic stones, and it is loved by A and O all over the world, so the trade is very developed. Many people like to place these carvings in their rooms, both as a decoration and as a support for their practice. ”

"I see."

"So, would you like to take one back and put it in the bedroom?" He Ningzhou proposed.

"Okay." Shen Xinghe smiled and bent his eyes, it was like getting a big bargain, so He Ningzhou couldn't help but shake his head, and the two walked to the stall, only to see that the boss was a very kind middle-aged man, chatting with other guests, and several girls were also discussing which stone carving they should choose.

"Two, just take a look." The boss greeted He Ningzhou and Shen Xinghe when he saw them.

Shen Xinghe nodded at him, took a closer look at all the carvings, and looked up and asked He Ningzhou which one he should choose.

He Ningzhou thought about it and picked up a small tree-like carving, Shen Xinghe couldn't remember the name of this tree for a while, "That's it, this is the Roy tree, do you know what the flower language of Roy Flower is?" When he asked this sentence, his eyes seemed to hide a lot of things, and he returned to that cloudy feeling.

"I don't know." Shen Xinghe suddenly felt that although he had read a lot of books and memorized a lot of content, he was still very different from the person in front of him.

"Roy's flower language is, 'Eternal Love,' and it's my favorite flower." He Ningzhou said.

Shen Xinghe's heart trembled, and he took the exquisitely carved tree, the emerald green color, the faint light, it looked luxuriant, different from the appearance of any kind of tree that Shen Xinghe had ever seen, it did not carve flowers, so Shen Xinghe didn't know what a flower with such a beautiful flower language would look like, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, and he was also looking forward to it.

"Boss, I want this." Shen Xinghe said to the boss.

"This guest really has a vision," the boss's expression was still a little playful, "Since you don't know Roy's flower language, then you must not know what it means to give Roy flowers." ”

"Excuse me, do you have any explanation?" Shen Xinghe really didn't know, and the questions that rushed out of his mouth were also eager that he hadn't noticed.

The boss didn't answer him, but just pointed out: "Then when someone gives you Roy flowers, you will naturally know." ”

Shen Xinghe didn't ask any further, thanked the boss and turned to He Ningzhou with the tree in his hand, the undisguised depression in his expression deepened the smile of the person in front of him again.

"You can fit it into your storage stud earrings, it's the first thing you've stored, and it's memorable, isn't it?" He Ningzhou quipped.

Shen Xinghe tugged at the corners of his lips, did not answer, silently recited the spell that the man taught him, and the thing that was still in the palm of his hand disappeared in an instant, Shen Xinghe put down his hand and looked at the person in front of him, "You say, what does it mean to give someone Roy flowers?" ”

The man's face was the same as the boss's evil smile, and he didn't answer positively, "This, just like the boss said, you will naturally know when someone sends you, or you can go and ask Ann, I guess he should teach you, although I haven't heard any questions about Roy Flower in previous adult assessments." Having said that, he couldn't help but think of the scene where the person in front of him would be given Roy flowers one day...... I can't tell, but I don't like it very much, and it's hard to imagine such a scene.

Shen Xinghe was very dissatisfied with his words, so he didn't notice his expression, thinking that these people were obviously deliberately bullying themselves. However, since they say so, they mean that the situation of being given Roy flowers should be ambiguous and worthy of jokes from onlookers, so what will be the situation? …… Shen Xinghe thought about it carefully, in short, there would be no harm or loss to himself.

Thinking like this, Shen Xinghe didn't care about it anymore, and then thought of another thing, and said briskly: "By the way, I heard An said that there will be a fruit called Muxiangguo and Yunjin silk at the event, I don't know where they are?" ”

He Ningzhou also put away his thoughts, "Then I'll take you to find it, the things nominated by An are indeed very discerning." ”

……

This night, Shen Xinghe had a lot of fun. When I finally found Mu Xiangguo, I found that it was really popular, and the original five large fruits were only the size of apples at this time, orange, bright and dripping, and the color alone was already mouthwatering. Shen Xinghe regretted that he didn't see the whole picture, it is said that Mu Xiangguo is usually the size of a watermelon. I couldn't wait to ask He Ningzhou beside me if he had brought tableware over, and then cut off a piece more urgently and put it in his mouth, sure enough, it tasted sweet, cool and delicious, very tempting, Shen Xinghe felt that he really had to try his best to control the urge to send all the remaining fruits into his stomach.

"You can taste some too." Shen Xinghe still remembered the people around him, "It's delicious." ”

He Ningzhou smiled, "I don't have to, I've eaten a lot in previous years, so I'll leave it to those who haven't eaten and like to eat." Go," he beckoned, "I'll take you to eat the rest, and there's a lot to eat tonight." ”

"Okay." Shen Xinghe hurriedly followed.

So, for more than an hour, Shen Xinghe couldn't remember how much food he tasted, nor how many times he couldn't help but praise him, until he ......

"Wow, this one is delicious, too." Shen Xinghe put a piece of meat that was said to be roasted in a very special way into his mouth, and said the sentence that He Ningzhou didn't have to think about to know that he would definitely say, and shook his head again, He Ningzhou thought, although he sometimes thinks that this person's ability and eyes are good, but such a childish personality really makes people's expectations for him greatly reduced......

At this moment, a sudden event caught his attention, and Shen Xinghe also raised his head at this time and wanted to ask him if he wanted to taste it, but he saw him looking at the sky to the south, his brows slightly locked, and his appearance was very solemn.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xinghe asked subconsciously.

"The Star Temple is sending out a danger signal." He Ningzhou thought back to the five-colored sparks he had just seen lit up in the southern sky, which was a signal unique to the Star Temple, and his voice was low, showing that this unexpected event made him very unhappy, "Your Highness," his tone was urgent, "I'm going to rush to the Star Hall now, do you want to go with me?" ”

"Yes!" The matter was urgent, Shen Xinghe's answer didn't even think about it, and the meat in his hand had long since disappeared.

"Good. Come up, I'll carry you on my back. After He Ningzhou finished speaking, he squatted down with his back to Shen Xinghe, who immediately lay on his back.

"My speed will be fast, please be careful, Your Highness." After saying this sentence, He Ningzhou ran on the street like a gust of wind, so fast that many pedestrians thought that a strong wind suddenly blew.

The distance between the main street and the Star Hall was very far, because of the fast running of Hening Prefecture did not waste much time, along the way, Shen Xinghe lay on the back of that person, and the strong wind that he had never felt seemed to tear his whole person apart, so he tried his best to bury his head on that person's shoulder, and many thoughts flashed in his mind for a moment, he knew that the Star Temple was where the high priest was, but he had never been there, let alone seen the high priest himself. Also, Phantom Night City has been peaceful for decades, and there has never been an invasion from other places, so why is it that on the day of the five-year event, it is the Star Temple that sends out a danger signal? Was someone sneaking up? But what would be his purpose?

Rao is incident this time is by no means simple, Shen Xinghe should be thinking and worrying at the same time, but he can't help but think, at this time, there will be that kind of reassuring feeling on that person's back, he will rush there as soon as he finds danger, is it a proof of responsibility?

The two of them rushed to the Star Temple, and from a distance, they saw that there were already many soldiers outside, and it seemed that other people had already seen the alarm and sent troops here.

He Ningzhou slowly slowed down his pace, stopped at the door and put down the person on his back, while Shen Xinghe went down to the ground and unconsciously took a step back, reaching out to caress his heart to relieve its violent beating.

"How's it going? Did you catch a sneak attacker? He Ningzhou asked the soldier guarding the door, and he could see from his clothing that he was the army under the command of Xido.

"Caught, Lord Hita and Lord Anrais rushed over when they saw the alarm, and the five sneak attackers didn't have time to escape at that time, and now Lord Anrais is talking to Lord Lulith in the Yaohui room." The soldier said.
