Chapter 59: The Trevi Fountain
After Fisher and Lin Qiu reached an agreement, after a few more polite words, he put his mind on the "Chronicle of Shakdam", and when he turned to the Aoba chapter, he picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, and wrote the name of spade under that pattern. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Qiu said goodbye and left with a very good look, no matter what the old man was thinking, he didn't plan to involve himself, otherwise when talking about spades, he would definitely ask a few questions. Judging from Fisher's reaction and attitude, it seems that he has long known the secret of his son's murder.
However, this is someone else's housework, and he is naturally not an outsider to participate too much.
He thoughtfully walked out of the castle of the Slark family, the fragrance of flowers and candy gradually became stronger, except for fairy tales, Lin Qiu felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe this country as the country of sugar. There are two confectionery shops opposite the castle, one is a fruit candy shop and the other is a malt candy shop.
This injury gave him a new discovery - the knight's physical strength and scoring power are completely separated, although there is no place in his body that does not hurt now, but the scoring power in his body is very full. He secretly urged the engraving, and some of the fallen leaves slowly floated into the sky under the effect of buoyancy.
This little vision didn't attract anyone's attention, and when he finished the series of tests, Vera was walking out of the fruit candy shop with a fruit basket. They looked at each other, and then Vera's cheeks flushed, and she trotted to Lin Qiu, her tone a little cramped and uneasy: "That...... Lord Tyr, this afternoon is my break, so ...... So, please don't tell the other maids about my fruit candy!"
After saying that, she bowed thoughtfully.
In the face of this sudden request, Lin Qiu felt that he was simply a bag - what did he do to spread the word that Vera was buying fruit candy? Not to mention taking a step back, what is wrong with eating fruit candy, everyone has different hobbies, so the taste is also different, isn't this a normal phenomenon?
Later, he was dragged to the square by Vera.
As Princess Rose's birthday is approaching, people throughout the kingdom are doing their best to prepare a grand birthday party for the princess, and in the square, several people in the same costume are holding brushes and painting a sculpture that has just been completed.
"They're candy artists, and the sculpture is made of candy, and the cat is Princess Rose's pet and is very popular in Shakdam. ”
Vera and Lin Qiu sat on a high platform in the corner of the square, and she put a fructose in her mouth and explained.
Lin Qiu took a closer look at this cat sculpture that was several meters high, and the sculpture squinted at the action of **** left paw, which looked lifelike. It's a bit of a condescension to say that they are candy artists, and if they were before the crossing, these people would be able to break a Guinness World Record.
A group of dancing children surround the sculpture.
However, while everyone was preparing for the birthday, there was a discordant scene in the square: five young men with hoods who looked like they were about to do something crept to the pool in the center of the square, and when they saw that there was no one around, they took a candy out of their pockets and threw it into the pool.
"Why don't the guards leave them alone?"
There were quite a few guards around the square, and to Lin Qiu's surprise, this group of guards turned a blind eye to this group of unscrupulous youths who were destroying the environment, and even a few of them even cast a kind glance at them.
"Poof...... That pool is the Trevi Fountain. ”
Vera was amused by Lin Qiu's righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "Legend has it that after throwing the candy into the pool, you make a wish, if the candy floats, it means that the wish can be fulfilled. ”
Sure enough, the young men watched by the pool for a moment, and then left dejectedly.
With Lin Qiu's many years of experience in conversation, he knew that in order to avoid embarrassment, he must talk about him left and right at this time, so he asked casually, "By the way, why don't you want other maids to know that you like fruit candy?"
"Because ......"
Vera lowered her head in embarrassment, and paused for a few seconds to peel off the sugar coating: "Fruit candy is for children. ”
In fact, Lin Qiu had already heard a lot of strange traditions since he crossed over, such as Lilith telling him that telling the opposite sex about his ability to engrave meant confession. It was hard for him to imagine how the knights of this world worked together, and he could only imagine some scenarios on his own:
Let's say that Knight A and Knight B decide to join hands to hunt monsters, and then Knight A says to Knight B on the way, "I have a strong ability to engrave, but I won't tell you what it is!"
He felt that if this scene was placed in modern society, it was likely that Knight A would have been killed by Knight B before he saw the monster.
Now he heard from Vera about another strange tradition - in Shakdam, the type of candy also symbolizes the identity of the taster. Fruit candy was for children, maltose was for adults, commoners could only eat crude maltose, and only nobles could taste the milk candy elaborate by candy artists.
When mentioning the toffee, Vera showed a wistful expression: "Master Fisher occasionally distributes the leftover toffee to the maids, and the taste is really evocative......
Lin Qiu couldn't understand Vera's mood, because when the White Rabbit toffee was discounted before he crossed, 13 yuan a bag, as a modern person, he didn't have any pursuit of candy.
"So please don't tell anyone else, Lord Tyr...... If you want to laugh at me, laugh at me. ”
Vera ate another fructose, but her face was open.
Lin Qiu didn't feel able to laugh at all. Although Vera has the demeanor of a big sister when taking care of people, she is extraordinarily simple in some details, and he points to the Trevi Fountain: "Do you believe in that legend too?"
Vera nodded vigorously.
"Then let's go check it out. ”
From a modern person's point of view, there is a scientific basis for sugar not to sink but will eventually melt into water, as long as people who have studied physics a little will know that sugar will sink because it is denser than water. In other words, if there is a bag of sugar that is less dense than water, he guarantees that it will float as much as he throws it in.
However, as far as density was concerned, he couldn't explain it to Vera.
Vera stood in front of the Trevi Fountain and suddenly folded her hands reverently: "Lord God, if you hear my voice, please bless me, don't be laughed at by other maids like a child again!"
After making a wish, she put the peeled fructose into the water in one go.
The fructose that fell into the water shook a few times on the surface of the water and finally came to rest. The clear water is covered with a variety of sweets, but only one of Vera's fructose on the surface of the water stands out.
Lin Qiu suddenly remembered that he had encountered a similar ritual before crossing over, but it was to float the coins on the water, and the dozen or so coins he had put down had all sunk to the bottom. For him now, making things float on the surface of the water is tantamount to a gesture.
"Floating...... Floating?"
Vera cheered like a child, and Lin Qiu couldn't help but be stunned: "To be honest, I thought you would make a wish to let the Knight King marry you." ”
For the first time since the crossing, he discovered his ability to help others "fulfill their wishes".
"I guess the gods would be very tired to fulfill such a wish, so I won't bother her. ”
"Oh?
A young man's voice came.
The young man in a splendid red costume came to them at some point, and he propped up the lower handle with his left hand, bent down, and observed with interest the fructose that floated on the water. The young man had a wisp of sword eyebrows, and he had eyes like flames, and he was full of grandeur under the backdrop of his drooping golden curls.
"It's rude, I'm Edward Highberg, judging by your outfit, I guess I'm a knight. ”
After a while, he introduced himself after being sure that fructose would not sink.
