Chapter Eighty-Seven: Meeting
The town is not too big, a wide central avenue runs through the town, and the ten-meter-wide pavement is paved with stone slabs, and the snow-covered pavement arches slightly upwards in a noticeable arc, apparently so that rainwater can flow to both sides of the road and not collect in the road.
There are two steps on both sides of the road, which are obviously for pedestrians to walk. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians are completely separated by this staircase. There is no such thing as the mixed traffic and pedestrians of most towns.
However, these sidewalks, which were left vacant at the time of construction, are also very lively today, except for some of the town's children running around skating and skiing, and some shrewd vendors are setting up a makeshift stall, creaking kebabs, fragrant broth, and freshly baked bread, all kinds of food stalls are set up on the street, and the cheap prices and the smell of food immediately attract many pedestrians to stop and try.
The government management system of Yindun Town has not yet evolved into the urban management system, so most of these street vendors, who are run by half-grown children, have successfully occupied the pedestrian passages in the most prosperous areas of the town without worrying about being evicted.
Lolei, who had just finished volunteering and following the Saint Maiden's adventure party to help those poor people see a doctor, is now enjoying the hospitality of the adventure group with a happy face.
The adventuring party that came here with the Holy Maiden did not rely on the profits of the adventure and the employer's employment as the main income of the ordinary adventure group, and they were far more interested in helping the poor and saving the weak than the money from the adventure. Therefore, the income of their team is more dependent on doing some small business to supplement.
And the street food stalls that have been erected on the streets of Yindun Town today are run by the street children who were taken in by this adventure group. Obviously, they are a multi-talented adventurous group, not only do everyone have excellent medical skills, but even their cooking skills are amazing, and all in general business is good.
Sitting on the dining table with a few wooden planks improvised together, Lolei is eating a food called "hamburger", two pieces of freshly baked refined wheat bread, sandwiched between a piece of tender and juicy meat, and a little specially prepared sauce, which is simply the highest delicacy in the world.
On the opposite side of Lolei, Maiden, a saint girl with a long braid, is also destroying the "hamburger" in her hand at a very fast speed. As a true dragon, the Holy Maiden Maiden has an appetite that matches her archetype, and she has just been busy all day, and she has used up almost all the healing spell slots, she is just as tired physically and mentally, and desperately needs to replenish her energy.
The Holy Maiden Maiden wiped out the food with an elegant and swift rhythm, and soon, the dozens of loaves of bread that had just been baked were already wiped out.
"Ahh......h Saved! ”
After eating dozens of loaves of bread and drinking a bowl of steaming onion and mutton soup, the braided girl finally let out a long breath and regained her daily vitality and vitality.
"That...... Lore, thank you today! ”
The girl with braids raised her head, looked at Lolei, who was a little stunned, and thanked her with a polite smile.
"That, that...... Nothing, though, you've eaten so much, are you full? ”
Lore, who was shocked by the amount of food she had eaten, was a little incoherent for a while, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Well, I'm still a little hungry when you say that! Well, it seems that I have only eaten three layers of fullness! ”
The girl with braids thought about it seriously and replied seriously, and then as if she remembered something, she happily shouted to another little girl who was busy in front of the barbecue stall: "Winnie, I want another fifty barbecue steaks!" Big! ”
"Great!" The little girl named Winnie also answered loudly, and then while flipping the meat skewers, she quickly brushed layers of cumin, chili, salt and other condiments on the meat skewers with a brush, and then put a plate of roasted golden fragrant meat in front of the braided girl, and said proudly: "Winnie's special charcoal grilled ribs, please taste them slowly!" ”
"Yes, thank you!"
At the moment of food, the girl with braids couldn't care about being reserved, and immediately ate quickly, not caring about the hot temperature that had just come out of the oven.
"Wow, what a good smell!"
Just when Lori was stunned again as she watched the braided girl's amazing eating speed, a very familiar voice sounded behind her!
"Ah, it's Shiji-sama, and the lord!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lori quickly turned around, and then she saw a carriage with the Silver Shield Family's twin swords and silver shield badges, as well as Lord Shi Ji and Lord Shi Ji who stepped down from the carriage.
Lady Shi Ji was dressed in a warm snow-white coat and wrapped in a wide cloak, and she looked like a squirrel spending the winter. And the lord is still dressed in a simple summer dress, completely ignoring the cold north wind and the winter ice.
"Oh, it's Lore!"
Shi Ji also saw Lolei, she nodded and said hello to Lolei, and then looked at the girl with braided braids who had a pure temperament and amazing beauty, but wiped out the food in front of her at an elegant and fast speed that was extremely inconsistent with her image, and asked curiously: "Is this your new friend?" ”
"Yes, Shiji-sama!"
Facing the lord and her sister, Shi Ji was still a little nervous, but just as she wanted to further introduce the braided girl, she saw the braided girl eliminate the last string of barbecue in front of her at a fast speed, and then quickly wiped her mouth, changed to a formal and serious expression, and said: "Hello, I'm Maiden Daerk, excuse me, are you the object of my contract this time?" ”
The girl's serious expression made the rustic atmosphere on her body quickly recede, replaced by an involuntarily convincing holy temperament.
"Yes, I'm Aelita Silver Shield, the contract you are going to choose this time!"
Looking at the glorious girl in front of her who was full of holiness and innocence, Dugu Feng couldn't help but feel satisfied in her heart, and nodded seriously at the same time.
The girl with braids hooked the corners of her lips, and carefully observed the object of her contract this time, her gaze was soft and flawless, as if it was the clearest mirror, which could reflect the good and evil in the hearts of all intelligent beings.
In her eyes, she could see that Dugu Feng's body was filled with a cold and pure silver light, which made her think of the boundless silver void in the astral boundary, all of which were the same silence, vastness, and depth.
Of course, although the brilliance on Dugu Feng's body is similar to the void of the astral boundary, it is also fundamentally different, although the silver void of the astral realm is silent and empty, but it reveals an absolute dead silence of the cemetery of the gods and the destination of all things, and the silver brilliance on Dugufeng's body is an absolute order, a kind of return to the simple return of thousands of colors after experiencing thousands of brilliant colors, just like the colorful sunlight and synthetic white, there is a faint temperature in the silver white.
Order, neutrality and kindness, this is the camp position of Dugufeng in the eyes of the braided girl, a camp position that is not completely in tune with her, but also acceptable.
"Hello, I'm Maiden. Although my mother said that I had the right to choose freely, I still wanted to fulfill my mother's wishes as much as possible without going against my position. ”
The girl with braided braids looked at Dugu Feng seriously for a moment, and said in a calm and serious tone: "Actually, I don't agree with some of my mother's views. Hatred brings only pain, not salvation! It doesn't make much sense to continue to perpetuate the fruits of hatred! Of course, I didn't have much position to stop my mother's revenge, so I came anyway for the sake of my mother's wishes. It's just that I like that you think carefully about your deal with my mother. ”
"The decisions I make will never change!"
Looking at the girl with braids with a serious and serious face, Dugu Feng couldn't help but smile, and after saying his answer seriously, he suddenly took a step, reached out across the table on the side of the road and touched the head of the braided girl, rubbed her broken gold hair, and said with a smile: "Since we already know each other, then we don't have to talk so seriously!" We have plenty of time to get along and get to know each other without jumping to conclusions! ”
Dugu Feng's sudden action suddenly dropped his jaw, not only Luo Lei and Shi Ji showed surprised expressions, but even Winnie and the others on the side also showed surprised looks.
Because of the holy and pure gesture that the holy maiden Maiden inadvertently revealed, people always unconsciously have a sense of admiration and respect for her, and no one would make such a "blasphemous" action as if teasing the little sister.
However, it seems that the holy girl Maiden herself is not very disgusted with Dugu Feng's action, she just blinked her eyes, seriously thought about Dugu Feng's words, and immediately agreed with the other party's statement.
"Well, that's what Mother said!"
The holy maiden Maiden nodded seriously, and then suddenly remembered something, and was a little embarrassed, and asked embarrassedly: "Then, if I follow you, will I be able to eat enough in the future?" ”
“……”
“……”
Luo Lei, Shi Ji and the others were speechless. And the little girl Winnie on the side looked at the belly of the braided girl, and thought about the dozens of pieces of bread that had just disappeared, and after a long time, she said in surprise: "Maiden, it turns out that you haven't eaten enough before!" ”
Hearing the little girl's exclamation, the holy maiden Maiden was even more embarrassed. She also brought a lot of food and supplies with her from Tesser, but along the way, she continued to help the poor, treat the sick and administer medicine, not only the food and dry food in the dimensional bag were all consumed, but even the money and jewelry she carried were all relieved.
If she hadn't met this adventurous team who was also traveling on the mainland and helping the poor on the way, she would have been reduced to hunting and foraging in the wilderness.
It's just that the economic situation of this adventure team is not very good, even if they have the income from reselling special products and opening stalls to do business, they can't stop them from spending a lot of money when they help poor families. Therefore, Maiden Maiden has always been embarrassed to let go of the measure to eat, and every time she stops when she is almost a third full. And because of the busy tasks of relieving civilians all the way and treating the wounded, it was rare for her to find time to hunt and eat by herself, so she was so hungry and full along the way.
