The attire of the adventuring party is indeed not suitable for such an aristocratic party.

The four men are all dressed in battle attire, and the old wizard's dress is also nondescript, only Nana's clothes look like normal people, but the material of the clothes is saved.

Taking advantage of this time in the afternoon, everyone came to Gale City to have a good stroll.

The frontier city of Gale Winds is a very different city from Artisan Town.

The town of Artisans is rigorous, solemn, well-organized, and square, but Gale City is much more proud and enthusiastic, with the streets crowded with people, vendors and pedestrians coming and going.

"Hey, beauty, come and see the weapons?daggers, hooks, daggers, bows and arrows, there must be something that matches your impeccable beauty. ”

On the street, a young man looked at Nana with warm eyes.

"Thank you very much, but she doesn't need it. Leo walked over and slapped the young man on the head, taking his eyes off Nana.

"Well, sir, she doesn't need it. The guy muttered. "And what do you need?"

"I don't need it either. Leo took two silver coins out of his pocket and threw them into the man's hand. "Tell me where the best ready-to-wear stores are in the city. ”

"Lady Zhijin's ready-to-wear store. The man quickly put away the two silver coins. "Go three intersections east and turn right at the first one. ”

"Thank you. ”

After thanking him, Leo avoided a child who had stumbled into him recklessly, and took out a money bag that looked familiar from the child's arms.

The kid turned out to be a skilled thief.

"Hey, be careful, I've got a few gold coins left. He shook the money bag in his hand at the child, and a few sporadic collisions showed that the money bag had not eaten much.

When the child heard this, he ran into a small alley without looking back.

Leo shook his head, looked up at the bustling crowd in front of him, and said with some headaches: "Three intersections, this is really a long journey. ”

If it weren't for Leo's extraordinary perception, he wouldn't have found that his money bag had been touched by someone under this collision.

Lack of security is also a chaotic feature of this border fortress.

"Be careful about your own things, what is this, Old Mo?"

A blue glow emanated from the tip of Omoni's staff, covering everyone and then disappearing.

"The anti-pickpocketing charm will make your stuff stick more securely on your clothes. Omoni put away his wand and explained.

"Great, you're really proficient in everything except combat, Lao Mo. Leo praised.

Omoni laughed and accepted Leo's strange compliment.

Although Omoni knew that this was a sincere compliment, if someone he didn't know heard it, it was more likely that a fight would start.

"How about taking a look at the charcoal-grilled skewers over there?" Leo pointed to a barbecue grill on the side of the road.

Next to the barbecue grill, a man in half sleeves held a dozen thin iron skewers with things in his big hand, turning them back and forth on the fire grill, and seven or eight customers were surrounded by the iron rack.

Leo squeezed over and shouted at the man, "Boss, come on twenty small skewers." ”

"What skewers?" asked the boss as he busied himself with his work.

This is a must-have skill for any roadside stall owner, and the food prepared for the current customers in his hand cannot be left behind, and the requirements of the dozen or so customers behind him cannot be confused.

"Beef, chicken, fish. Is there cheese?"

"Cheese?" the boss glanced up at Leo in his hesitation. "You're an old eater, it's a pity we don't have grilled cheese here, but I can give you three skewers for free. ”

"Well, authentic things aren't so common. Leo seemed a little lacking in spirit, and he was talking about a special kind of cheese, which was so hard and creaking that it could only be eaten by setting it on a fire and slowly roasting it, and then rubbing it on bread with a knife or fork, with a very rich milky aroma and a fragrant whole wheat bread.

Esenus didn't seem to be so interested in the hot stuff and began to take a look at the raw fish on the side.

"Ceviche. The owner of the stall pointed to the seaside dishes at hand. "Made of sea bass. ”

"Perch, it's a pity. Esenus shook her head. "Please bring me a small portion of marinated fish with lettuce and avocado. ”

Leo, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, came up and asked with great interest, "What is this, how is it all raw?"

"Ceviche. Esenas took a bite and said with a frown: "It's terrible, his fish is not cleaned, and the orange juice is too sweet to suppress the fishy smell at all." ”

"And you still eat?"

"Hometown cuisine, taste the nostalgia. Esenas shrugged indifferently.

Taste all the way, everyone spends it luxuriously... Three silver coins.

"It's all worthless snacks, how much does it cost?" said Leo, patting little Paul on the shoulder.

Accustomed to the cost of dozens of silver coins and a gold coin at every turn, such a cheap price made little Paul feel very uncomfortable.

Walking out of the snack street, the surrounding pedestrians gradually became scarce, Leo stretched his waist, let out a long breath, and said comfortably: "Finally come out... I just thought I was squeezed into a sardine can. ”

"These people are hilarious and even a little comfortable, don't they know that the city is at war?" Isenas patted the hem of his clothes, and in the crowd just now, a daredevils threw an egg tart on him.

"The aristocrats all have a dinner party, and it's not a big deal for the commoners to have a good time. Leo also tidied up his messy robe a little, looked up at the store in front of him, and the big words "Weaving Gold Garment Store" on the door frame were scalded with gold and nailed to the door frame.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, pick out a dress? ”

As soon as I walked into the ready-to-wear store, a woman who was overly dressed immediately greeted me.

Leo's feet took a step back, and he coughed dryly and said, "Miss, you don't have to get so close... Something seems to have fallen off your face?"

The woman glanced at the mirror on the side covertly, raised her hand to wipe a little powder from her face, and greeted with a smile: "Okay, don't stand stupidly at the door, gentlemen, and this beautiful young lady." ”

The woman took a few steps back to allow the party to enter the storefront.

"Do you want me to introduce you yourself?"

"We're going to Viscount Andrei's banquet tonight, and we're going to need a few suits. Leo said politely.

"Oh. The woman raised an eyebrow. "The Viscount's dinner, it really has to be dressed up. ”

The woman picked up a pole and rummaged through the hanger.

"How about this? silk woven coat, light and fitted, a small stand-up collar wool vest of the Noxia Highland sheep, strong and elastic, with a linen corset on the outside, adding layers and highlighting the figure, with light velvet trousers underneath, plus gorgeous chest ornaments and wide breasts, this year's popularity among the aristocracy. ”

Leo looked at this complicated and somewhat feminine costume, and only felt that his neck was a little breathless.

"Do you have any crisp clothes?" asked Leo quickly.

"Refreshing?" the proprietress shook her head regretfully. "That was all ten years ago, and now everyone thinks you're asking for food. ”

"No, that's it. Leo insisted.

"Okay. The proprietress muttered as she pulled out a set of clothes from the innermost part.

A small white stand-up collar shirt was underneath, with a black jacket over it, a tie on top of the shirt, and a pair of straight-leg pants, also black, dragged underneath.

The neat fit made Leo breathe.

"That's it. Leo said hurriedly.

"Okay, just when I clear the backlog. The proprietress was not very interested, and she couldn't understand Leo's old-fashioned choice at all. "Are these gentlemen the same?"

"Just bring me a white monk's robe. Omoni demanded.

"Good, good, thirty years old style. The proprietress pulled out a white robe from the cupboard and threw it heavily on the table. "You guys just go against the pop. ”

No one dared to say anything, silently watching the proprietress pack these clothes as if she were venting.

"Benefit five gold coins. ”

"No problem. Leo said dryly.

The price is a little inflated, but Leo should be ruined.

"What about this young lady, do you want this beautiful young lady to be as sloppy as you?" the proprietress turned her gaze to Nana again, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Of course not. Leo pushed Nana in front of the proprietress and said solemnly, "Please bring out your best clothes and try them on this young lady, and don't be stingy with the price." ”

The proprietress softened her face and looked at Nana carefully.

After a few laps back and forth, the proprietress thought and said, "I have the best clothes in the city, but they may not suit her, this young lady has a natural and pure beauty, clean and immaculate, and attractive." ”

The proprietress groaned again, picked up a tape measure, and measured Nana's reach and height.

Seeing the proprietress tape measure, Leo couldn't help but ask, "Why don't we measure our height?"

The proprietress rolled her eyes: "There are only a few pieces of this style of clothing in stock, and if you can't wear them, you will pull them down." ”

After measuring Nana's proportions, the proprietress muttered to herself, "Yes, that's it, I didn't think I would ever see anyone wear this dress in my life." ”

"You wait. After leaving this sentence, the proprietress hurriedly ran to the back hall, leaving several men looking at each other in the front hall.

Nana said with some trepidation, "I only need to wear a long dress. ”

Leo shook his head and said comfortingly, "Since you go, you have to wear the best." ”

After a while, the proprietress rushed back with a set of clothes.

"Try this. The proprietress shook her hand, a gray-brown short-sleeved high-waisted dress drooped from top to bottom, a little tulle hooked the shoulders, the overlapping placket just exposed a piece of breasts, and the skirt hung naturally down the waist near the calf. The light gauze on his shoulders was like nothing, and a little golden tassel was put on it.

Nana put on the dress.

She could feel the shape of the clothes, but she couldn't feel the light transmission of them, but her intuition still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The proprietress looked at it with her eyes lit up, and handed over a pair of light gray gloves that wrapped around her wrists.

This pair of gloves suddenly restrained the bewilderment of the dress.

"Breathtaking. The proprietress muttered to herself. "But there's something missing. ”

After thinking about it, the proprietress took out another pair of delicate high heels, which made Nana's posture a lot taller.

However, the proprietress was still not satisfied, dragging her chin and frowning and muttering, "No, it's still not, what's missing?"

Suddenly, the proprietress swept her gaze over Nana's bare neck, and then she patted her head and hurriedly took out a precious necklace from a drawer.

The lake-blue gem fell on Nana's chest, the soft glow of which matched her clear, sky-blue pupils.

"Perfect! a masterpiece of the gods!" the proprietress hugged her work excitedly. "Everybody thinks you're a duchess. ”

Leo was also robbed of Nana's beauty, a hazy and dreamy beauty that revealed cleanliness and purity in her brownish-gray gauze skirt and sky-blue pupils.

"How much?" asked Leo with determination.

"Fifteen gold coins, necklaces counted alone. Speaking of the price, the proprietress quickly regained her senses and began to calculate.

"And the necklace?"

"One thousand one hundred and fifteen. ”

"Okay, I bought it. Without hesitation, Leo said decisively.

Hearing this unbelievable price, Nana hurriedly grabbed Leo's clothes and whispered, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Of course I didn't. Leo blinked. "But I can borrow you. ”

Nana couldn't help but laugh.

"Borrow me? You seem to owe me a mission. ”

"I owe it first, and then I will pay it back together. With a wave of his arrogant hand, Leo owed this huge amount of money. "Miss Nana, even if I'm a little tired, I can't let you wear tattered clothes. ”

Borrowing someone else's money to buy clothes for someone else?

Nana grabbed Leo's arm and laughed backwards, "Okay, Mr. Leo, I'll lend you this money." ”

At the dinner, Nana really became the focus of attention of countless people, and no one did not indulge in her deep eyes.

Many single aristocrats stepped forward to try to talk, but they were all stopped by Leo arrogantly as if he was a loyal guard: "Not to mention the identity of this young lady, just by her appearance, you leper dogs can touch it?"

Seeing these young men snorted by Leo's haughty snort and dejectedly leaving, Nana leaned back and laughed again.

This once again attracted the attention of a large number of men and young women.

In addition to dinners, aristocrats also had to do some elegant things, such as concerts.

Andrei, who was also fascinated by Nana, personally asked the band to play a song "Yukon River" for Nana.

Composed by the famous Duke of Bigley II, the tune hovers in search of the high notes and reverberates in the bass, celebrating the pure and the beautiful.

"How does it feel?" asked Leo, who was sitting in the first row, taking advantage of the time between the songs.

"Of course it's great. Nana replied happily.

This is a joy that is completely different from that in a mountain village, especially the feeling of being noticed and envied by everyone is unprecedented.

Looking at the long-lost smile on Nana's face, Leo showed an inexplicable look on his face, and he whispered: "Maybe you should be more in the society of ordinary people." ”

This is what Leo's mother used to say to him.

It was Leo's first contact with a human city-state, and in the square, Leo went crazy with children his age.

Eliza took Leo into her arms and whispered the same words.

Time passed, and the same scene played out in front of Leo again.

"Nope. Nana shook her head. "I am not happy in the society of ordinary people, but I am happy because of you and I in the society of ordinary people. ”
