Chapter 63: Chi Cheng
Chapter 63: Chi Cheng
The city near the desert does not have the arid climate and no rain all year round, and the reason why the city is called Chicheng is that the city is adjacent to the largest freshwater lake in the Principality of Jiawen, Lake Jiaping.
Although Chicheng lacks resources, the road is difficult. However, relying on this lake, it can still provide them with considerable tourism resource income. Travelers who came and went, as well as water practitioners who wanted to gain insights by paddling a small boat on the lake, provided financial help for the development of the city.
The lord of Chi City is the manager of this huge amount of money, even if most of the money will be handed over to the principality, but when he scoops a scoop of water with his hands, a few drops often leak out, and the huge wealth contained in these "few drops" is enough for all the people of a big family to live a rich life.
Therefore, every election of the city lord is often very fierce, which is related to the future development of a family.
Compared with Mangala City, the city of Chicheng is less luxurious and more simple and heavy. Once in the city, Arthur frowned and began his journey in search of food.
"Boss, what is this?" Arthur asked curiously, walking briskly to a small stall and looking at the pieces of what looked like small pancakes sticking to the oven.
"This is a fish cake made from live fish just caught from Jiaping Lake this morning, delicious and inexpensive, one for seven coppers."
"Bring me one" Arthur spread his palm, and seven copper plates appeared in his hand, handing them to the vendor.
"Alright, guest, here's your fish"
Arthur took the fish cake wrapped in yellow paper and ate it deliciously.
"Well~~~ good, fragrant, glutinous, the fish is tender and refreshing, mixed with flour to make it taste more mellow, Chicheng really came to the right place. ”
After a few bites of the fish cake in his hand, Arthur had unknowingly arrived at the so-called Chicheng Warlock Guild.
This guild is a small castle, larger than the church in the previous life, located in this bustling street, and it is still relatively rich in terms of funds.
"This is what Brother Dao said about the guild formed by warlocks? Arthur narrowed his eyes and carefully felt the energy fluctuations inside, and his heart moved, "One second-level warlock, ten first-level warlocks are at the peak, and four first-level warlocks are in the middle stage." This strength is not weak...... Let's go find an inn first, take a shower, and then come out to enjoy the food. ”
Arthur slowly left the inn. After an hour, a special passerby was ushered in at the gate of the city, and Mooy, wrapped in a yellow cloak and wrapped around his bewitching body, stepped into the gate of Chi City. Her face was pale, she gasped for breath, and glanced behind her with palpitations, revealing a trace of sadness in her dark and bright eyes.
"Finally...... It's back!"
......
The blood of the remnant sun faded, and the twilight gradually cleared the world, and Arthur had just walked out of the inn and turned a few corners. There are still many snacks on the side of the street, and the shops take advantage of the last period of time before dark to do more business. When night comes, the streets are dark and rumbling, and there are fewer people, unless it is a place for people to come out at night to have fun. The place was brightly lit, and it was a night business.
Passing by a snack, Arthur was attracted by the tantalizing scent.
"Deep-fried whitebait, the whitebait that has just been caught from Jiaping Lake, it's delicious and not expensive, this young master wants to come some?" The store is a pair of elderly grandfathers and grandmothers.
In front of their stall there is a bucket of live whitebait, the body is translucent, the small whitebait is soft, the head is long and flat, and the bones on the top of the head are thin and translucent, which is a local specialty.
The whitebait is fried in flour and served with some of the store's special condiments. The fried whitebait is golden and has an attractive aroma.
Arthur grimaced, leaned in and sniffed and sniffed, the fragrance completely hooked out the gluttonous worms in his stomach.
"Old man, bring me three. ”
"Okay, young master, wait a moment. The old man greeted him warmly, and quickly fished out three fried golden whitebait from the hot oil pan. After straining the filtered oil, put it on a plate and hand it to Arthur.
Arthur found a place to sit down, added one with chopsticks, blew a little, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, for his physical fitness, this little heat was nothing. Well~~~~ The taste buds explode, this golden whitebait is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, refreshing, fragrant, and the fish bones are crispy and can be eaten directly, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.
"It's so delicious, old man, three more"
Having just left the stall selling gold silverfish, Arthur was ready to go to the East End. But before he had gone far, he had just turned a corner and was attracted by the fragrance of a shop that made "Micha Meat" snacks, so he walked into the store, asked the boss for a Micha Meat, paid ten coppers and sat in the store and waited patiently.
It didn't take long for the store to deliver a steaming Micha meat, and Arthur tasted it, and his index finger moved, so delicious that his whole body trembled.
"It was delicious. ”
The meat of Micha made by the store is crispy, and it seems to be melted in the mouth, and the taste is fragrant and fresh, and the taste of Micha powder absorbs the fat and has a special aroma, fragrant but not greasy.
Arthur was sitting in the middle of the shop savoring it. However, on the other side...... The Linxi family has many eyes and ears in Chicheng, and as soon as Mooy stepped into the city gate, he was protected by the people of the Linxi family, and looking at the direction they were heading, they were about to pass by the small shop where Arthur was eating.
"There's nothing big going on at home, what's going on in the Poplet family?"
"Miss, everything is fine at home, and the patriarch has ordered us to wait at the gate of the city since three days ago. A guard in armor, looking cautiously around, whispered.
Mooy nodded, then asked about something else, talking word to word with the guard. That's when ......
"Boss, another bowl!"
Mooy's footsteps suddenly paused, looking for the sound to look at the source of the sound, and a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision, startled.
"How could it be him, why didn't he die?"
"Miss?"
Mu Yi suddenly came back to her senses, frowned and thought for a while, and after a moment, she sighed and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
The armor-clad guard glanced at Arthur curiously, and gradually kept up with Mooy's pace.
For the rest of the journey, Mooy had been thinking silently, and the dozen or so guards who escorted her did not dare to disturb, so they walked quietly.
After walking for a long time, Mooy smiled sincerely, "I didn't expect that I would miss it." ”
"Ah Yun!"
"Miss?" The man who had spoken to Mooy before hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to obey.
Mu Yi stared at Ah Yun quietly, and said with a solemn expression: "The young man in the shop, can you see clearly?"
"My subordinates have seen it clearly!" Ah Yun's answer was categorical, and his tone was full of confidence.
"Okay~ From now on, you go and keep an eye on him personally, pay attention, he may be a warlock with strong spells, you must stay away from him, and don't keep staring at him, the warlock's perception is very strong, you don't have to report what he did, you just need to grasp his movements, go!"
"Yes" Ah Yun responded, and immediately walked to a small alley next to him, and disappeared without a trace.
