Chapter 11: The Beginning of Magic

The crowd walked through the square into a street to the east of the city.

Walking along the street, the sound from the square became more and more sparse, Chris put Ryan down, and after seeing Ryan come down, Jack snorted at Chris, took Ryan's hand and walked forward, starting their morning purchase plan. Ryan observed that some of the signs on the streets were painted like bread, some were painted like stones, and some were painted with strange symbols......

At first, Jack and Ryan would excitedly rush into the store to look east and west, wait for Chris and Merlin to arrive, and volunteer to help with things. After running through a few stores and the excitement had passed, Chris took their belongings at the right time, but Jack and Ryan still lagged behind.

Seeing the gradual increase in the number of people on the street and in the store, in order to improve efficiency, Chris would accompany Ryan outside the door to let Merlin into the store when he walked into the store with various signs hanging at the door. What makes Rian curious is that Aunt May's hands are always empty when she comes out, and there are only expressions that change, sometimes she comes out with a smile on her face, and sometimes she comes out with gritted teeth.

Although it is early summer, the midday sun is still vicious and drives those who dare to face it to places where the sun does not shine. It wasn't until Ryan, yawning in the shade like Jack and Uncle Chris, was about to fall asleep that Merlin walked out of the last shop satisfied, stopping her shopping.

Everyone was relieved, and found a restaurant to rest and eat in Mei Lin's disgusted eyes.

After the sun in the sky was not so strong, everyone returned to the inner city square and walked to the west of the city. At this time, there were many fewer pedestrians in the square than in the morning, and the guards at the gate of the Adventurers' Association were also standing in the shade, and the old man next to the bulletin board was still there, and he was sitting in a shed-like thing, and the dress on his body looked a little old.

The deeper you go to the west of the city, there are few pedestrians in sight. Occasionally, I will meet people walking on this street, either wearing colorful costumes or loose clothes that cover their bodies in dark colors, and both men and women are relatively thin. They occasionally look at Chris's family with a look of disdain.

The group walked into a shop with a large plaque outlining the marks of a pair of scissors.

"I haven't been here yet, so let's do it. ”

Christopher, with a tired pace, couldn't wait to walk into the nearest barbershop.

As the bell that hung at the door rang when I entered, the waiter in the exaggerated costume immediately greeted me with a sincere smile.

"Welcome to Trolls, do you want to give your hair a new lease of life today? ”

The waiter led everyone to the lobby table and took their seats.

"Isn't it just a haircut, it's so exaggerated. ”

Chris and the two little ones collapsed directly on the fluffy sofa in the hall.

"Hello distinguished guests, the pursuit of hairdressing is not a simple scissors, shave. What we pursue is to follow the texture mechanism, let the hair fly itself, tighten the skin, and give the scalp the most lasting protection. ”

The waiter looked at Chris with a smile.

"It's nonsense, I don't understand it at all, so let's just say how much. ”

Chris said dismissively.

"1 gold coin. ”

The waiter smiled.

"Lying ..... , why don't you go and grab money, it's so expensive, it's enough for people to spend a month. ”

Chris stood up directly.

"Dear customer, the shop is different from the ordinary shop, hair is the external embodiment of physical fitness, like you are different from ordinary people, I think the ordinary way of trimming is not comfortable, I think this is also the reason why you have always hated haircuts. ”

The waiter still looked at Chris with a smile.

With that, Chris stopped and was about to lead the children.

"Okay, don't bluff people, all three of them are trimmed, what price. ”

Merlin was also a little impatient.

"Honorable guest, I'm not fooling you, as far as I can see, all three of them need the magic blessing scissors of the mage to cut their hair smoothly. ”

The waiter smiled at Merlin and continued,

"You should know that the mages on the continent are already noble, and the empire also respects mages very much, and the mage association does not support the cooperation of mages with us, so it is conceivable to use magically blessed scissors to cut hair, and you cut the hair of three people of this type at once....... Our teacher is also very sad, so it takes at least five ......... for three people."

Before the waiter finished speaking, he found that his throat was a little dry and his hands were a little shaky.

Flames!Merlin played with the red flames on the tips of her fingers, real flames.

Flames danced across Merlin's fingertips, changing form like liquid. Sometimes it condenses into a ball, sometimes it scatters like fireworks, sometimes it flows between your fingers like flowing water, and the scorching flames are as obedient as well-behaved pets.

"What if I blessed scissors magic myself. ”

Merlin found herself very disliked by this kind of hospitality.

The waiter's eyes looked directly at the arbitrarily changing flame in Mei Lin's hand, his mind was blank, and he no longer had the energy to pay attention to what Mei Lin said.

As the flames appeared, Ryan froze. It was something he had never seen before, a scorching flame that could scorch everything, and someone could play with the flames between his fingers. The red flame was as docile as a cat in Aunt Mei's hands. Lien felt that Aunt Mei at this time was less of her usual gentleness, and more of a scorching light that people didn't dare to look at directly, as if even her hair had turned into flames, as if such Aunt Mei was the real Aunt Mei.

"Ahem!"

Chris coughed heavily, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

Merlin immediately dispersed the flames in her hand.

"Apologize for our unreasonable offense, Your Excellency. ”

A middle-aged man with smiling eyes walked out of the inner hall, the man walked up to Mei Lin, touched his chest with his right hand, and leaned over to greet Mei Lin.

"Please forgive us for the presumptuous nonsense we just had, it's an honor for you to be here, and today we have a free haircut for the three guests. ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned for the waiter in a daze to go down.

The waiter turned around and left after bowing like a relieved amnesty, and when he walked into the bar next to him, his body was still a little trembling, and there were faint sweat stains on his face: he summoned flames without reciting a spell, at least at the Silver Star mage level, after staying in the city for so many years, the mages of this level have long been offered by those big families like ancestors, this level is a role with status in the mage association, how did he come here? And what's the situation with this mage ancestor, why didn't he wear the mage robe of the mage association, ordinary people are desperately eager to wear the mage robe that symbolizes status and wealth.

"The attitude is good, they can simply trim their long hair and cut it short, and I also need a few scissors that can bless mana. Merlin raised her chin as if she were the boss here.

"Okay. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately agreed, although he didn't know what this noble mage needed scissors for.
