Martin was a little surprised that Lyukrisia had to return the book too soon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info just calmly returned the book to her. Next, Martin noticed that Lyukrisia was less willing to lend her past textbooks. But for these, Martin didn't dwell too much. It's just a different way to spend time.

Salzburg has a castle in its name. But it is a real city, not a castle whose main function is military. As a result, it has a permanent population of more than 10,000 people, and naturally has enough jobs to feed those people. Markets and handicraft workshops are lined up. Other facilities are also available. The roads built during the Norma era play an important role today, and caravans continue to bring supplies into the city. The elevated drinking water bridge brought fresh spring water to the city, allowing dignitaries to use tap water. And the sewers still play a loyal role, but from time to time adventurers have to be sent down to clean up the kobolds. In addition, there are a variety of recreational facilities such as a library, a theater, and a racecourse. These are enough for Martin to take a good stroll.

Although shopping should not be a male pastime. But for Martin, who has never lived in a big city. Everything in Salzburg is so new. The last time I came, I didn't have time to take a closer look because of the preparations for the war, so I just took a quick look at the market and other places. This time, when he was free, Martin took a closer look at the city.

Although Salzburg is far from being the biggest and best city, it has had a strong impact on Martin. For example, the apartment buildings on both sides of the street are six stories high and made of concrete. And the huge fountain in the square also made him stop and watch, and deeply felt the power of human civilization. And the huge sewer that he found incredible. Driven by curiosity, he even ran around the huge sewers. After a simple rinse to make sure you don't get rejected by the waiter. He enjoyed the huge public bath in the city. After the shower, I took a soak in the warm pool, then went to the steam bath, and then went into the hot pool, and after enjoying the servant's clothes, I finally jumped into the cold pool, and ended the somewhat tedious bath.

Martin also went to the theater to see a performance, but it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, he was a man with no artistic cells, but the opulence of the theater and the people from all walks of life (from the rich people who were richly dressed and got into the box to the commoners who stood in the back row) already made Martin feel that he had seen the world and that the money had not been spent in vain. And then he was thrilled to watch the exciting races at the racecourse. Just lost a small amount of money on the bet. Although he was a druid, he had a keen sense of which horse was the best, but he was not familiar with horse racing, and he did not know how to evaluate the strength of a jockey. But then he won back in the car races, which are now only occasionally held, and just in time for him to catch up.

During this time, Martin didn't always hang out alone. He tried to invite Lyukria Licha, but the latter turned it down a few times, and when he came out with Martin, he always liked to pull in her former classmate Lace Lynn from the Arcane Academy. All in all, she is not cold towards Martin now, but she clearly shows the gesture that "we are just ordinary friends".

A few days passed, and everyone's affairs were almost taken care of, so the endless feast began. "Food should be full until you burp, drunken to your throat, sing until you break your bowels, and dance until you fall to the ground. This is a fitting description of the feast of these adventurers. Led by Trist, they borrowed first-class chefs from high-end restaurants. Pan-fried veal kidneys, roe deer meat, quail stuffed with spices and fruits, roast leg of lamb, honey-roasted chicken, shortbread with lark and pigeon...... In addition to these ordinary dishes, huge lobsters, whole grains of caviar, boiled conger eel, giant crabs soaked in wine, and dormice soaked in honey are also served. There are also a wide range of drinks, from strong distilled spirits that irritate the throat, to indispensable fruit wines of all kinds (the most important of course), to sweet mead, to mare's milk wine made by nomads, and liqueurs sweetened with spices. There was even coca wine on the table, and although it was only a thin line away from drugs, people still drank it frequently. As for absinthe, which is a much softer narcotic, it is even more popular. For those who don't like to drink, there is plenty of fresh milk, juices, yogurt and clear spring water to choose from. For the victory of this adventure, the adventurers can be said to celebrate with such an act as carnival. It's not surprising that, in a sense, the mindset of an adventurer is the same as that of a gambler. In the case that the next mission may be gone and never return, it is natural to spend a lot of money on hand. "Life must be full of joy", a famous quote of a poet from the Far East is greatly admired here. Under the illumination of the huge crystal lamp, one adventurer after another staggered drunk. It's rare for them to let their guard down like this, after all, not everywhere is as safe as it is here, so they should take the opportunity to indulge.

However, Martin was still very restrained, and he basically did not touch those alcoholic beverages, but chose fruit juice. It's just that for all kinds of food, he doesn't refuse to come. There are many delicacies that he has never heard of, so they are very tempting to him. After all, he was born into a serf, and when he was practicing among the Druids of the Starch Binsey, his master was not very obsessed with appetite.

After the internal feast, there is an official banquet. Mainly, some expressed gratitude for the rescue of their relatives and friends, some officials said that order was once again safeguarded, and some clergy said that justice had once again been served under the protection of the gods...... Many adventurers are grateful for this kind of banquet that requires etiquette, such as the shark, who takes the wine and hides in his room to drink it. However, there are also people who are confident in themselves, and after dressing up, they go to the banquet, wondering if they can catch a noble lady or two or a noble girl at the ball...... For them, associating with adventurers who slay dragons and demons is extremely romantic.

Because of his identity, Martin naturally did not attend this banquet. He chose to go straight to the kitchen, pick out good food, and then hide in his room for a peaceful night. But when he found out that Liukrisa was also hiding in the room, he went to knock on the door with food.

When Lyukrisia opened the door, she burst into laughter when she saw Martin's appearance. Then Martin was let in.

In order to carry as much food as possible, Martin not only held a large plate in both hands, but also put a ...... on his head

"You know what? Your image reminds me of those black people in the Southern Continent, and those black people do normal things, and it feels so funny with your white face......" Lyukrixia and Martin laughed. Martin motioned for her to get the food. After this period of contact, he fully understood the taste of Liucrexia, who liked pasta to meat more than most of the Norma people in those days (there was the Norma army in those days, because they fought in the nomadic area, they ate meat all day long, and as a result, the soldiers were disgruntled and almost mutinied, but fortunately they found a wheat field and immediately ransacked it to make pasta), and especially liked to eat sweet things (the dish of dormouse soaked in honey was loved by the Norma people). So most of the food Martin brought with him was elaborate pastries. Although Martin's own favorite food is meat.

Food is essential for human survival. As humans, meat plays a big role, providing enough protein for meat, so that apes don't have to eat all day long like herbivores, so apes use the time saved to do other work, which is extremely important for apes to become humans. Eating meat can also make the body stronger. Although you can get some protein from eating beans, you will still lack the intake of high-quality protein. The height of the Norma nation is not as good as that of the Tuoman nation, which may also have something to do with eating habits. Of course, there are also Starch Bingsey druids who point out that animals that live in cold regions tend to be taller than their counterparts in the tropics.

"Well, aren't you going to the ball?" said Martin to Lyukrixia. In his opinion, a girl of Liukrisia's status should appear at that ball, and be in the limelight or something...... For this reason, he also struggled with whether he should simply go to the prom.

"I don't like that kind of formal occasions, and I don't like to wear that kind of evening dress. Liu Kelixia replied lightly.

...... I don't know why, but Martin felt that there was a kind of resentment in Liukrisa's speech, not that he didn't like to wear it, but that he couldn't hold up the kind of open-chested and off-the-shoulder evening dress......

After the fall of Norma, the barbarians prospered. It is said that the reason why the Tuman people designed the kind of revealing evening dresses worn by the ladies was to show goodwill at banquets. It means that "the host can be trusted, and the female companion brought by the guest can be dressed in revealing clothes without worrying about safety." Therefore, the kind of evening dress with a low opening is very much in need of a figure, and Liu Kelixia's figure itself tends to be slender, and she is a girl who has not yet completed her development, and it seems that she is still the Langding ethnic group that traditionally produces small-breasted beauties. It's really not appropriate to wear that kind of evening dress.

In addition to a variety of desserts, Martin naturally brought drinks as well. In addition to Lyukrixia's favorite orange juice, Martin brought a bottle of wine that glowed lovely green in the light. It's absinthe, which has the special beauty of all contraband at this moment. You know, while Canian wasn't the fundamentalist paladin who strictly forbade drinking, he didn't allow Lyukria to touch narcotics either. It's one thing to drink some wine to suit the occasion, but absinthe, a drink that is close to hallucinogens, is something that Cannian absolutely forbids Lyuklia to touch.

"Thanks, just like I want to drink a little. Liukrisha said as she calmly poured a full glass. She and Canian are different types of paladins. She belongs to the Free Paladin, one of the four Paladins, and Canian is the Honorary Paladin.

"You know what? At that moment, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Liukrisa said after drinking all the absinthe. "Because I think of those dead comrades......"

"Don't convince me," Lyukrisa stopped Martin's remarks, "I don't mean the comrades who died in the assault on Black-robed Bull's castle. I am equally saddened by their deaths, but I am reminded of the holy warriors who died in battle...... The holy warriors who died in the attack before I met you. ”

"The members of the team who died in the attack on the castle, they at least died well and have a home. As for those comrades-in-arms before, I couldn't even bring back their ashes, so I had to let them stay there like that......"

"Suddenly, I felt like I was useless...... "Lyukrixia said. Hang your head down and let your hair fall naturally. Her hair wasn't long, but it was enough to shade her face under the light.

"There can be no adventurer who wins every battle, and there is always a failure. But I still can't accept that my living comrades-in-arms will disappear forever...... I thought I was lucky and rarely experienced total failure, but now that I think about it, my father can pick and choose those less dangerous tasks......"

"Now when I think of the tragic fate of those female prisoners under the hands of the black-robed Bull, I feel terrified from the bottom of my heart, afraid that if I fail in any mission, I will ...... too."

"Isn't it that I'm no longer fit to be a paladin? Actually, that's against me becoming a paladin, and it seems that he's right...... But when I think that there may be innocent people being ravaged by monsters, and I, with my great strength, sit on the sidelines, I feel uncomfortable, as if my inaction has caused misfortune. It was this psychology that led me to the path of the Holy Warrior. ”

In fact, these words have been buried in my heart for a long time, but there has never been the right time, thank you. ”

Jeong-Do Martin was looking forward to something like "Lend me a shoulder." Liu Kelixia gave an eviction order, "I want to be alone and quiet......"

Martin didn't expect this to turn out to be the case this time. Although it was not what he expected, Martin felt one step closer to Liukrisia, which made him leave Liucrexia's room with mixed feelings.

I wanted to see it some time ago, and I happened to borrow it. It was written by a high-ranking Russian military officer, and I suddenly noticed the recurring ellipsis in that book, and the ellipsis was very Russian. Could it be that I often use ellipses because I was unconsciously influenced by those Skifsky?

Whew, but I only read a little bit of that book. I'm currently reading "Nana", and the naturalistic novel is really powerful. In preparation for some chapters of the next volume, I need to read more naturalistic novels.

I recommend a novel "No Man's Land". It's the kind of novel in which the cataclysm and then the protagonist with amazing combat power survives with a gun. What foreign writers write is very different from the ones at the beginning. No harem, no superpowers, no super-tech...... In short, the traditional type.

PS: Recently, I went to the Internet addiction war, and published a post in support of **, and was immediately banned. And then use the vest to point out the elimination of freedom of speech, they are no different from ** or something. Then, it actually shook several people, unexpectedly.
