"As you can see," after dealing with the slaves, Martin saw that there was no one around, and said to his teammates, "Is that thing normal with the mercenary group just now?"

"It's not normal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Natasha said from her experience, "The mercenary group is originally seeking wealth and benefits, and there is no reason to put on such a posture. They should know that we are not easy to mess with. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Someone is probably going to be behind some kind of conspiracy. Now that there are guards in the town, don't worry too much about what happens, but be careful when you get out. ”

Wait and see what happens, take the repreemptive, and respond to all movements without moving. In the current lack of intelligence, Martin's response is just that. Although I also considered asking Zali, a wanderer, to inquire about the other party's situation. But after all, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and it is difficult for Zali to get any benefits where the other party has a foundation, plus Zali's special identity. Martin eventually abandoned the idea.

Let's take a shower first, and doing what is in front of you first is Martin's usual style. It was still Martin who guarded the things, and the women went to wash first, but a new member was added: Sofia Sergeyevna Shevchenkova.

Because I had already washed it carefully not long ago, most of us were not interested in repeating the tedious sauna steps again. Especially the step of jumping into the cold water, although the team members, including Shirley, are physically far stronger than ordinary people and can withstand that kind of stimulation. But no one wants to find guilt. Therefore, whether it is Natasha, Zali, or Shirley, they are just lazily soaking themselves in the warm hot water to relax every nerve.

There is one exception, though, and that is Sophia. She was washing herself with a spoon of cold water from the barrel. Natasha and the others could clearly see that there was a thick layer of ice ballast floating on top of the cold water in the barrel, and the temperature of it could be imagined. Just looking at it, Natasha and the others had a feeling of wanting to shiver.

"What is this going on?" Natasha was puzzled. Why would Sophia give up such good hot water - how comfortable it is to take a hot shower. There are also steam baths, you must know that the nomads she belongs to are lovers of steam baths.

"It's actually a kind of practice. A hoarse voice came out, and then Chuye came out of Shirley's ears, "Some paladins think that hot baths make people languishing, while cold baths are a hard work that makes people mentally tough. They believed that just as cold liquid quenched a fiery sword, cold water could make a paladin's will as sharp as an unsheathed sword. But in reality, the opposition between cold and hot baths is a microcosm of the opposition between simplicity, positivity and depravity. The hot bath symbolizes extravagance and brings about a decline in the power of the holy warriors. It was this view that led many paladins not to bathe in hot water unless they had to. In a sense, this helped to establish a sense of superiority among the paladins over others, distancing them from some of the beings they didn't like. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it feels amazing. Natasha lamented that although she was a cultured person in the tribe, her knowledge was limited in the final analysis.

"Hey, I said, compared to this question, I suddenly thought, this is a women's bathroom, isn't there something wrong with you guy. Zali said with some dissatisfaction on the side.

"Ah, if you can give birth to a baby as a gender, you're a girl. Chuye said.

"Poof!" At this time, Zali really didn't know what to make an expression, so she had to put on a weird smile. I thought to myself, so what kind of perverted gentleman did you say at the beginning...... Hey, what the hell is your psychological gender!

"I'm more curious about why you're speaking in your own voice this time, rather than masquerading as Shirley's. Natasha asked Chuye,

"Ah, that's because there's no man to tease here, and there's no fun in talking in Shirley's voice. ”

"But it's not impossible to pretend to be Shirley's voice and flirt with women. Zari made such a serious suggestion. She grew up in the underworld of dark elves. In her city, a part of the dark elf family is matrilineal, and the women are noble. And in that kind of family, there are really some dark elf women who ignore men, believing that they are inferior and unqualified to touch themselves. So he turned to the arms of the same sex. And there are many dark elves who are obsessed with carnal desires, and they feel that there is nothing wrong with same-sex blind dates. So it was so natural to talk about it.

"No, no, I'm not a lady. ”

"Lady's attributes?" asked Natasha curiously. In her eyes, aren't the so-called ladies just some people who don't pretend to be diligent?

"Ah, that's worth using abilities like teleportation or time stop......"

Faced with the increasingly outrageous Chuye, Shirley didn't say anything, just slowly sank herself until she was completely submerged in the water. She calculated her lung capacity, and she was able to hold her breath for about half a minute, which was enough to resolve the embarrassment. It's just a pity that Chuye was able to use his psionic energy to make the voice continue to conjure, chattering about some strange things. During this period, Natasha may be curious and surprised, "This kind of thing is absolutely strange"

And Zali took the opportunity to walk out of the hot pool, came to Sophia, who had been cleaning herself carefully and did not join in the frolicking between them, and whispered to her: "Shevchenkova, I'm really sorry for the incident I checked at the beginning, please understand, it was also for the safety of the team......"

And Sophia calmly interrupted her and said, "In that part, twisting so hard, is it also for safety detection?"

...... Now Zali really regretted it, after this Sophia joined the team, her behavior that would have come with her temperament for a while was very bad. When we go on adventures together in the future, we don't say anything about the dagger stabbed in the back, just say that when Zari needs to be rescued, Sophia's step at night will be terrible.

But Sophia then dispels Zali's uneasiness. "I forgive you. She said.

Sophia is a paladin, and her words cannot be said casually. So Zari nodded and said to Sophia, "Well, then cooperate well in the future." ”

On the other hand, Natasha, who was bored looking around because of Shirley's potential underwater, once again sighed at Sophia's figure: "It's a pity that such a figure is hidden under the armor......"

Yes, even Zari thinks so. Generally speaking, out of jealousy, sometimes some girls will criticize other girls for their body appearance. But it's hard to do that for Sophia.

To be fair, if you just talk about bust and the like, you don't have to look around, Shirley in this bathroom is much bigger than Sophia. In fact, Sophia does not have any special "prominence" in terms of figure. The key is overall symmetry. For example, the breasts are tall and tall with a limited volume, and with a smaller underbust, the visual effect will be far better than how many women are much larger than her.

Sophia has muscles, but the muscles in her body only make people think of words like vitality, and the muscles on her body are not like the muscles of a fighter, but like the muscles of a dancer, which does not give people a hard feeling at all, it is so smooth and moist. Sophia also has fat on her body, but the proportions are so appropriate, one more looks feminine, and one less looks strong. It doesn't look like it grows naturally, but it looks like an artist has created a shape.

However, Sophia has no pride in her body. She appears indifferent to the praise and envy of others.

After a short time, the female team members had already finished washing, and walked out wearing the makeshift yukata provided by the bathroom, their hair wet. At this time, Martin noticed Sophia's walking posture. At that moment, Sophia's walking posture was one that was somewhat peculiar and made certain parts of her body sway. Martin had seen this kind of walking, and that was when his brother had led him to spend all his time drinking with high-class prostitutes.

Wondering, why did she walk like that? Just thinking about it, Sophia's walking posture had returned to normal. Martin didn't think much of it. After all, it is ridiculous to associate a paladin with a prostitute. So he also went into the bathroom and washed himself carefully.

After some cleaning, the dirt from the sewer is gone. And the group of hungry people who were hungry because of the excessive consumption of bathing poured into the nearest hotel.

Zari and Natasha both unceremoniously ordered the most expensive items on the menu, while Shirley just asked for the most ordinary two dishes. As for Sophia, she ordered the least, even though she was the hungriest here.

"Don't care, Shevchenkova. We are already partners in common adventures. Martin suggested that she order a few more dishes.

Seeing that Martin said so, if he didn't order it, it would look rusty. So Sophia flipped through the menu again and ordered a dish that Martin hadn't heard of.

The dishes were served quickly, and after a while, various delicacies such as fried pumpkin, fried chicken, and meat steak were placed on the table. In order to ease Sophia's restraints and let her integrate into the group as soon as possible, Martin is chatting with her. He was talking about the little gadget in the slave merchant's hand.

"What's that? I think it's pretty delicate, and he pulls the beads up his thick fingers, and then counts the numbers so quickly. Martin asked with interest. As a Starch Spencer Druid, it was necessary to maintain a strong curiosity about science.

"It's called an abacus, and it's a great tool to assist in calculations. The beads represent the number ......," Sophia explained to Martin in detail, her speech and demeanor suggesting that she was a well-educated person.

"It's ingenious, it's undervalued, it's not just something for businessmen to settle accounts. Martin was full of praise for the abacus, "How come I haven't seen it before, and did it not invent it of your people?"

"Well, that's? no, no. We also learned from peoples further east. Sophia explains, "The next dish I called was the same, and it was called dumplings. ”

After drinking the dumpling soup made from beef bones, Martin tasted the dumplings with salad dressing, and the cooking was really delicious. Pasta, meat, and vegetables are all in one bite, which is very much in line with the diet of the Starch Spencer Pai.

After the main course, it's time for a variety of desserts. While eating, Martin continued to talk to Sophia, this time on a heavier topic, involving ideological issues.

"Actually, I've been thinking about that question a lot. I paid the ransom, but it was for the merchant. Isn't serfdom also practiced in your country? Won't they still want to be serfs when they go back?"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The question of cold and hot baths actually originated in Europe from the 18th century onwards, and I read about it in a book on the history of bathing.

The matter of my other novel, something is wrong at the moment, and the update is suspended.

In other words, if you look at the name Sophia Sergeyevna Shevchenkova, you will probably understand the cultural background. But I really didn't expect Ukrainian athletes or anything - in fact, I was stunned when I saw the Ukrainian nuclear warheads, and I didn't understand what they meant. And Russia does use abacus and has dumplings - although they learned from China, they are not exactly the same. But I've traveled back in time.

Now one of the questions that comes to my mind is this, what is the truth of the world?

For us humans, we can see the colorful world, but for many animals, they can't see it, they may not have the concept of color at all - they are color blind. But what about us humans? We humans don't actually see enough colors, we don't hear many sounds (in fact, children don't hear the same sounds as adults do.) ）。 So, is there more that actually exists that humans don't feel and don't know?

In the past, humans were not exposed to radio waves and did not even know they existed. And now I know. So what will humanity discover in the future?

So, what we know is only a part, and it's not that what we don't know is not there.

The Dragon in Carl Sagan's garage I used to admire. But if you think about it, people in the 17th century didn't recognize the existence of radio and denied it......
