Chapter Seventy-Two: Sympathy from Moore
The City Hall of the Third Flame City is located in a small square in the very center of the city. In the square here, there are no fountains, no gardens, no square birds, and even almost no decorations, the square is only paved with stone slabs, and there are nine statues standing on the ground, the images of the statues are all mages, they are more than 3,000 years, in the field of knowledge exploration has made important contributions to the mage lords, in order to commemorate their achievements, but also in order to encourage and spur themselves, most of the mage lords will establish such a group of statues in the center of the capital of their territory. This style of arranging the square fully reveals the character of these mage lords in the country of mages, they only have exploration and research in their hearts, and they are not interested in anything that has nothing to do with it, even if those seemingly useless decorations can actually adjust the living environment in the territory, they will not put any energy into construction, in their eyes, these are like art, they are meaningless things, not worth caring.
In the Land of Mages, the Mage Lords live on high floating islands, looking down on the Nether creatures like gods, exercising their absolute control over their territories, but it is clear that in order for the inhabitants of the realm to create a steady stream of wealth for their research and practical use, the lords must personally perform administrative functions and manage the production of their territories, otherwise the territories will eventually become a drag and will no longer be able to provide them with any resources. Therefore, the mages had to build a town hall on the ground as a liaison base, so as to issue an administrative order to control their own territory, and if they wanted to enter the floating island, except for the demigod mages who could use the slow flight technique to fly up slowly, they could only teleport through the teleportation circle of the city hall at a fixed point. However, the biggest problem with this teleportation method is that it requires a fixed spatial coordinate to locate, but since the floating island is moving according to the preset route on its own most of the time, it cannot provide fixed coordinates at all. Therefore, if you want to land on the floating island, you must choose to teleport during the period when the floating island adjusts its direction in the air within five minutes after the hour.
"So that's why you two sneaked out for a drink," Catherine squinted at Pannis, a look of dissatisfaction. When he was about to arrive at the town hall, Pannis looked at the time, and found an excuse to break away from the girls, and went into a tavern in the center of the city with Moore, and when the girls came over, they found that there were several empty wine glasses on the table in front of them, and the remaining wine glasses. It is also filled with a strange-tasting highland brown rice sake. Brown rice is a highland specialty, most of the Buts will eat brown rice as a staple food, and the rest of the brown rice is used to make wine, brown rice wine looks thicker than other types of wine, and the taste is very strange, combining the sourness of wine, the sweetness of champagne, and the spicy taste of ale, in addition to that, with a slight bitterness. The bitterness is not very strong, and it is very reminiscent of a cup of black tea in the afternoon. A mix of several flavors may sound hard to accept, but if you taste it yourself. Most people will love this specialty, but although the highland brown rice wine does not feel strong to drink, it has a lot of stamina, and many tourists do not understand the strength of brown rice wine. I drank too much brown rice wine and almost died of drunkenness on the plateau.
For Pannis's ungentlemanly behavior, the girls unanimously rolled their eyes with disdain. But the smart girls didn't say much, they also knew that the two were very good friends, and after all, they hadn't had an in-depth communication for a long, long time, and the last time they met, because Pannis wanted to hide his identity, there was no chance, this time they just wanted to find a place to catch up, which was completely understandable. So, Catherine just made a threatening look at Pannis's bared teeth from an angle that others couldn't see, so she politely turned around and nodded to Moore, and sat down next to Pannis.
"Tsk, it looks like Your Majesty is in trouble. The maidens' expressions were evident from Moore's observation, and the singer, who had lived for five or six hundred years, sighed, and let out a soft exclamation of unknown meaning from his mouth.
"Ah, why all of a sudden, what's wrong with her Vral," Pannis asked inexplicably, "What's the trouble?"
"You guys are so pathetic. In response to Pannis's reaction, Moore sighed weakly and said to the girls: "Although our positions are opposite on this point, I suddenly began to sympathize with you. ”
Apparently, the maidens were not expecting sympathy from the elves, and Catherine smiled wryly and took a sip of one of Pannis's glasses. As a girl who loves wine, Catherine has long heard of the reputation of highland brown rice wine, but she has never had the opportunity to drink it, and today she tasted it for the first time, and she was surprised to find that it tasted really good. However, as soon as she wanted to take a second sip, Pannis snatched the wine glass: "This kind of wine is too strong, if you don't want to go to see Fira in an unstable state for a while, it's best not to drink more than half a glass, otherwise you will definitely regret it." ”
After tasting the mixed taste in her mouth, Catherine sighed regretfully, wiped the wine stains on the side of her mouth with a standard manner, and said with a straight face: "Okay, then don't drink it, we have prepared the materials you asked us to find just now, but we have studied it for a long time just now, and we haven't figured out what you want these materials to do." ”
"That's right. Vivian nodded on the side and said: "Rootless flowers, golden swallow leaves, ivory balls, these are all alchemy materials, you won't also be a part-time alchemist, the most exaggerated is the mountain stream vine leaves, actually fresh rather than dried, there are not many alchemy material stores will have this kind of raw materials for sale, we almost ran to a quarter of the city and didn't find it, and finally in exchange for contributions in the mage guild, what are you going to do with them." ”
"Of course it's for eating, you only have alchemy materials in your eyes, but you forgot about it, before it became alchemy materials, these things were actually weeds, and many of them could be eaten as wild vegetables. Pannis took a fresh vine leaf from Vivien, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said with nostalgia in his eyes: "Didn't we often collect wild vegetables to eat with our prey during our adventures?" ”
"It turns out," Catherine said in a deep voice, "that Master Phila loved to eat these wild vegetables you concocted."
"Oh, guess right, no one else knows how to prepare these wild vegetables, although he firmly refuses to admit it, but every time he eats a lot of it, far more than his normal appetite. Pannis chuckled and said, "Since you are visiting, and it is at lunchtime, it is always polite to bring a few gifts, give me a few minutes, and I will go to the kitchen of the tavern, and we will visit in a moment." "To be continued......
