In front of a food stall on the street

Kagelcoward bought a baked wheat cake piled high with pea puree and cheese, and the stall owner enthusiastically joked as he sprinkled some vanilla crumbs on his scones, and there was a free beetroot soup in the tin bucket next to the stall, although the stall did not provide portable containers, unless you brought your own bucket or borrowed a few communal wooden bowls from the stall owner.

A large portion of baked wheat cakes with pea puree, a quarter of the wheat cake, topped with a layer of mashed pea puree and a layer of cheese, requiring only fifteen copper plates.

If you want to add bacon or sausages, you have to pay the stall owner an extra ten copper plates.

This style of breakfast is very common in the winter months in Bena City, and if you try to eat breakfast a little later, you can save on Chinese food and eat straight for dinner to get through the long day.

As a witcher, Cagle. Coward's business this year is not good, fortunately at the beginning of the year, he took a few orders, saved a little money, and since the summer, the news of the Red Dragon Treasure has been like a depth charge, blowing up the peaceful city of Bena City upside down, and several of the most famous adventure groups and mercenary groups that have been silent in Bena City have almost taken action, taking a magic airship to Highlandsa City, and going to the Paglos Mountains to find the legendary dragon slayer.

Somehow, Kagelkovod became part of the treasure hunting army, and went to the city of Highlandsa at his own expense, and before winter, he rushed back to Bednar City in a magical airship from the city of Highlandsa, bringing nothing with him except his bags.

There was no income for nearly half a year, which had a huge impact on the life of Kagel Kovod.

Since the rent had not been paid for half a year, the landlady had already rented the house to a young couple.

On the night of his return to the city of Bena, he stood outside the courtyard and saw the curtains of his bedroom shaking, and thought that there was a thief in the house, so he kicked open the door that had been locked from the inside, and rushed into the room with his dirty leather boots.

Then screams, fights, shouts, insults, and cries came from the house, and the landlady's son happened to be a knight in the guard camp of the city of Bena.

After beating the young couple hard, Kagelkovod spent half a month in the guard camp before they were released.

A demon hunter like him, who doesn't own a property, can't be considered a citizen of Bena City, he can only be regarded as a wanderer, so there are almost no human rights in Bena City.

Now because he has a bad record of trespassing on private houses, the housing rental union has put a big red cross on his name, and he cannot rent a house in the city of Highlandsa at present, and he has no friends and relatives to turn to, so he can only live in a small inn that is relatively cheap.

The main reason why he didn't leave Bena City was that only in this kind of big city could he receive some commissioned tasks for witchers, but unfortunately in the winter it entered the off-season of commissioned tasks, and Kagelkovod has not been able to receive a serious commissioned mission, basically he can only shrink in the hotel, the gold coins in his pocket slowly turn into silver coins, and he can only eat cheap street food on the street every day, but fortunately, he can drink a sip of beetroot soup to warm his stomach.

Kagelkovod was standing on the side of the road, bending over a bowl of beetroot soup from a steaming iron bucket, when a magic caravan drove by, and the moment he looked up, he just saw the black-purple eyes with a seductive smell in the window.

He was slightly stunned, and his mind subconsciously flashed that the woman in the car was so beautiful, and she seemed to have been looking at him just now.

Kagelkovod looked towards the magic caravan with the soup bowl in his hand, and saw the woman look at him again through the back window.

He tried to catch up, but was stopped by the stall owner.

The stall owner pointed to the wooden bowl in Kagelkovod's hand and said, "Leave the bowl!" ”

Kagelkovod smiled apologetically, quickly drank the beetroot soup in the wooden bowl, then put the wooden bowl back on the wooden shelf beside it, turned around and strode through the crowd towards the magic caravan, which was the most crowded on the street, and Kagel Koward took a few steps forward in the crowd, watching the magic caravan disappear into the traffic.

For days to come, Kagelkovod would spend the morning waiting in front of the scone stall to fill his stomach and watch the magic caravans coming and going on the streets.

Several times the knights of the guard battalion saw him standing in the street and tried to trouble him, but because there was no reason, they finally had to give up.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, having exhausted the last of his patience, Kagelkovod spat at the roadside flower-pond to see if there was a suitable task for him.

He got up and walked down the street to the crossroads, turned left along the sidewalk, and saw a carriage coming out of the alley on the left, and a beautiful face reflected in the glass window, which was perfect except for a somewhat gray complexion.

With his blood boiling in his heart and he could barely breathe, he strode after the magic caravan, and seeing that the magic caravan was about to disappear into the traffic, he quickly jumped into a magic caravan parked on the side of the road, threw a silver coin to the coachman, and hurriedly said to him, "Keep up with the magic caravan in front." ”

The coachman raised his whip, and the magic caravan quickly merged into the traffic......

……

Aphrodite was in a good mood for the past two days, and the city of Bednar was at least ten times larger than the city of Highlandza, and there were many places to hang out.

Every morning, she would rent a magic caravan and leave the hotel, wander aimlessly through the streets of Bena, stop the carriage when she saw interesting buildings or new places, and start her day's journey from here.

Aphrodite didn't even know the name of the little square, but thought the labyrinth of shrubs and low walls seemed interesting, so she asked the coachman to stop, threw him a silver coin, and walked briskly into the square with her skirt.

In Bena City in winter, ladies go out with hoods.

There were also a lot of veiled ladies like Aphrodite, so she didn't look very special in the crowd, there were a lot of people in the square, many women stood outside the bush wall, waiting for the children to come out of the labyrinth, everyone gathered together and chatted, the women were obviously not interested in this labyrinth of bush wall, only a group of children kept running in through the entrance.

Aphrodite didn't go inside, she just walked around the bush wall and walked around.

The sun was shining at noon, and the gust of north wind still made the temperature of the square a little low, several children squatted behind the low wall, and in front of them stood an older child, who was turning over the pockets of the children one by one, but most of the pockets in the children's pockets were empty, only a boy was nervously covering his pockets, and the older children looked at it alertly, he bent down and broke the children's fingers, and turned out a few candies and three copper plates from his pockets.

"Give it back to me...... Big Bad! ”

The boy found that the candy and money in his pocket were snatched away by the big child, and hurriedly desperately hugged the big child's leg and refused to let go.

The older child reached out and grabbed the boy's blonde hair, kicked him in the chest, then grinned smugly, and disappeared into the bushes.

The boy fell under the bush wall, and the rest of the children scattered in fright, leaving only the boy on the ground crying sadly.

Aphrodite was slightly stunned, she stopped and walked up, squatting in front of the boy who fell to the ground, Aphrodi put her hand on the top of the boy's head, gently stroked his hair, and comforted him: "You are a boy, no matter what happens, you can't cry like a girl, crying has no effect except to make you look more miserable." ”

"Come on! Stand up and I'll take you back your candy and copper coins! ”

The boy wiped his tears and snot and got up from the ground quickly, his right side of his face was a little red and swollen. There is also a clear footprint printed on the front.

Aphrodi took the boy by the hand, led him slowly into the low wall, and said to him as she went:

"Promise me, if something like this happens in the future, stand up bravely, and you will take back what you have lost by yourself!"

Aphrodite only crossed two bush walls, and found the older child squatting under the low wall from behind a row of bush walls, peeling candy wrappers, and the older child looked up at Aphrodite and the boy holding her hand in confusion, thinking that the adults in the family had arrived.

The eldest child, as nimble as a rabbit, tried to pass through the low wall of the bushes, but when he saw Aphrodi's eyes, he froze, and stupidly took out the sugar cubes and the three copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the boy.

Aphrodite comforted the boy again, touched his head, and turned to walk out of the labyrinth surrounded by a low wall of bushes.

The boy grabbed the candy and ran away.

Only the older children were left standing in place in a daze.

After a few seconds, the older child came to his senses, shook his head vigorously, turned and ran away into the bush wall.

These were all in the eyes of Kagelkovod, who was hiding behind the flower bed.

Is that...... Black magic charm?

Cagelkovod stared at Aphrodite with a puzzled expression, he was not sure what Aphrodite's identity was, but he knew that charm belonged to dark magic, he guessed that he had met a dark magician, this kind of black magician belonged to the kind of hidden people who could not see the light in the city of Bena, so he hid behind the wall with a frightened face, and looked at Aphrodite's eyes more and more curious......
