Chapter 529: Unexpected Situation

After playing two knockout matches, Charles knew that he had run out of shit luck, and the two opponents he met were not masters, so a single thrust solved the battle.

Seeing that he was idle, he found Mira, who was busy, and asked for the storage ring that had been stored with her, and said that he would go shopping in the streets, and then looked around for his uncle.

As a result, the demon king and his minions had already finished the game, and he didn't know where to go to drink and brag, and how to find someone, so he had to go to the city for a stroll.

The jousting arena is located in the middle of the commercial district in the center of Granada, with valuable goods to the north and everyday goods for the common people to the south.

As dusk falls, the shopping street to the south is particularly lively, and people who have finished their day's work go to the street to buy some things for home use, and then go home for dinner.

The shopkeepers are mainly busy for a while of the day, and they don't wait long for the streets to be deserted and they close, and the nightlife is not here.

Not long after Charles walked around, he saw an acquaintance.

De Lauris walked out of a cloth shop, carrying something that was clearly not easy for her now.

Charles hurriedly walked over, took the cloth in her hand, and said, "Aunt De Lauris, why did you come out before your body recovered, I'll help you carry these things." ”

De Lauris was obviously stunned when she saw Charles, and before she could object, a large bundle of linen in her hand reached Charles's hand.

"I went to see Anne yesterday and she got better after helping me with her treatment," she said. Without the arrows in the lungs, the medicine I take now doesn't hurt my body so much. I was bedridden for too long, and she said I needed to move around a lot now. ”

Charles was relieved after hearing her say this, Anne is the priest of the temple of life in the city, and she is more than a thousand years old this year, since she said so, then there is no problem.

The temple of life was not large, and there were quite a few patients there who were going to be "hospitalized", so Charles did not bother there.

The Temple of Light and the Temple of Life each have their own specialties in terms of treatment, with the Temple of Light specializing in surgery and the Temple of Life leaning towards internal medicine.

De Lauris then chatted with Charles, and she said, "I secretly hid a sum of money to be left for Handington's marriage when I die, but now, thanks to you, I won't be able to die for a while, so I'll take out a little to buy something for Huntington and them." ”

"Huntington's clothes have been torn in several places, and I am idle at home, and now that I have the strength to help Huntington and Marianne make new clothes, I have come out to buy some linen. ”

"I didn't expect this new 'Slime' to be so cheap and sturdy, so I bought some more, and by the way, we made clothes for Sister Barrel and their children. ”

"Slime cloth" is the linen woven by Ji Shijun with new textile machinery, named after the slime basin. This linen is popular in the market because of its cheap price and good quality, but I didn't expect it to be available here.

The new cotton cloth that was produced on the side of Auston I was also popular, and the guy named it "Mirabu" after someone's sister.

Charles quipped, "Auntie, I think Handington is going to marry Marianne in the future, right?"

Dee Lauris smiled softly and said, "Although Handington didn't tell me, Marianne's parents told me that Marianne was almost taken by a wolf while picking fruit last year, and it was Handington who saved her. If the two of them can be together, we are all happy. ”

At this time, the two walked to the door of a bookstore, and Di Lauris paused for a moment to think about it, and then walked into the bookstore.

The bookstore doesn't just sell books, it also sells parchment and some stationery.

De Lauris bought five second-hand pieces of parchment, a quill and a bottle of white gouache.

Parchment can be crossed out and reused, while parchment that has been scraped so thin that it has been scraped out of the hole is sold in stationery stores and resold to families like Huntington.

Gouache can be used instead of ink, although it can not last long to write, but it can be wiped off with a wet towel, which is suitable for people who have just started to learn to write.

De Lauris seemed to want to buy the book, but after seeing the price of the book, she hesitated for a long time and finally gave up.

De Lauris walked out of the bookstore after buying stationery, and Charles followed him after a while.

By this time, De Lauris had already bought five strings of rock sugar gourds from the roadside vendor who sold rock sugar gourds, and asked the vendor to wrap them in clean leaves.

When she saw Charles come out, she stuffed two strings of wrapped rock sugar gourds into Charles's hands, and said with some embarrassment: "Your sister and brother saved my life, I really don't know how to thank you......"

Charles smiled, took the rock sugar gourd, and said, "This thank you gift is enough, I haven't eaten this for a long time." ”

He didn't plan to let the other party's family repay him or anything from the beginning, he didn't lack money, and his name was enough, he was just interested in helping others.

De Lauris bought some candles and other things along the way, and Charles helped her carry them, and then walked to her house.

The two chatted along the way, and the conversation soon revolved around Handington.

De Lauris felt very guilty about her son, she nagged Charles that she even thought about self-sacrifice to reduce her son's burden, but she was afraid of leaving an indelible psychological shadow on her young son, so she put it off until her son was older, but fortunately she finally waited for Charles to appear.

Charles said to her: "Huntington is a sensible child, and all these years of suffering have been a test for him. Now that your family has survived, Huntington, with this will to live a life of suffering, will surely shine in the future. ”

Mothers love to hear people praise their sons, and De Lauris is happy in her heart.

She said, "I'm going to train him well." ”

"Alas...... If I had other skills, I wouldn't want him to follow our old path. ”

Charles listened silently there, adventurers are high-risk professions, and if they are not careful, they will not be able to come back, which De Lauris and their family have the most understanding.

Huntington and Marianne didn't seem to have returned from work, and Marianne's parents were cooks in large families, and they went out early and returned late every day, when there was no one in the house in both houses.

Charles put down his things and took his leave, if he stayed, De Lauris would definitely have to cook for him or something, and he wouldn't bother anyone.

As soon as he went out, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

A group of adventurers galloped past Charles on horseback and ran in the direction of the South Gate.

A horse stopped at the door of Huntington's house, and Huntington jumped off his horse and rushed into the house.

De Lauris asked and Handington replied, and the sound of changing clothes could be heard in the room.

Outside, Charles asked the monster who was still on his horse, "What's wrong?"

The monster said anxiously, "A group of fruit pickers have been kidnapped, and the thieves have sent a ransom letter. ”

When Charles heard this, he immediately took out three bottles of healing potions from his waist bag, shook them in his hand and handed them to the monster, and said, "Be careful, don't draw your sword when you see the bandits, don't do it, don't save the potion." ”

The monster took the potion, she first pouted, and then said, "I'll give you money when I get back." ”

At this moment Handington put on his bow and arrows, and then jumped on his horse and sat down behind the monster. He picks fruit all year round and is much more familiar with the terrain than many adult adventurers.

Charles took out a belt from the storage ring and threw it to Huntington on horseback, saying, "This belt buckle is a small dagger, that dagger is poisoned, see blood to seal the throat, be careful." ”

As soon as Handington said "thank you" halfway, the monster rode after the army.

Charles thought about it with a frown, and then walked out of the city as well.
