739. The Legend of Istanbul

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Nika walked from the side and saw Norman Lida sitting on the stone steps with her head buried between her arms.

When Norman Lida saw Nika, her face turned slightly red, and she whispered:

"I ...... Suddenly I don't want to buy bread anymore. ”

Nika put her arm around Norman Lida's shoulders and said affectionately beside her, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to buy it, I just want to give you how to queue up, how to pay, and register your name here." ”

She didn't seem to allow others to refuse, and commanded a group of half-grown children behind her:

"Let's all go and line up, get in line, and don't make a noise!"

The children listened to her, and lined up at the back of the line, and Nika scurried into the bakery, and soon took out a book, and began to register the children one by one, and handed out a card made of rawhide, the corner of which was stamped with a special brand.

Nika shoved a rawhide card into Norman Lida's hand and said to her, "Take this with you every time you buy bread, too!" This is your name, and this card is yours alone. ”

Although the queue was long, each person only needed to pull out two copper plates to buy baked wheat cakes, and there was no need to wait, so the transaction went very quickly.

The older children standing in front of Norman Lida took two copper plates out of their pockets and ran away with a piece of baked wheat cake bigger than their faces.

When Norman Lida stood at the front of the line, the clerk who had been busy with his head down took the card in Norman Lida's hand and asked:

"What's your name?"

Norman Lida whispered, "Norman Lida. ”

The clerk pointed to a stack of baked wheat crackers and whole wheat bread on the table and said:

"Two copper plates, you can take one at will."

Norman Lida had never known that baked wheat bread was so cheap, and she looked at the whole wheat bread that was three circles larger than her face, as if two copper plates could not buy such a large piece of multigrain bread.

Norman Lida hurriedly asked, "Can my mother get this kind of bread too?" ”

The clerk nodded, then added, "But I have to let you. Mom will pick it up herself. ”

Norman Lida said with a bitter face: "But my mother is sick, and she can't come by herself." ”

Nika stood aside and raised her hand and said, "I can prove that her mother is lying at home......"

"The bread can be given to you, but you always need to prove it, Miss Nika, and you can also send her mother a voucher if it's convenient! A total of four copper plates. The clerk said to the two girls.

At this time, Norman Lida learned that the girl who had been helping her was called Nika.

Norman Lida didn't care so much, she whispered to the clerk, "I don't have any money now, can I come and collect it in a few days?" ”

"Every day can, remember, you only get one chance a day." The clerk nodded, reiterating the point.

After speaking, he turned his head and saw the hand-waving hint of the boss on the side of the bakery oven, and hurriedly added in time: "If you don't have money, are you willing to work?" You can help me paint these wooden pallets, and work here every afternoon, twenty copper plates every afternoon. ”

Norman Lida didn't expect to be like this, earning twenty copper plates in one afternoon, more than washing clothes for half a day, she hurriedly said: "I am willing!" ”

In this way, Norman Lida spent an afternoon brushing plates at the bakery.

Unexpectedly, in one afternoon, I not only brought home two baked wheat cakes, but also brought home sixteen copper plates.

Norman Lida thought that next time she might exchange it for the fluffy whole-wheat bread, which looked bigger.

However, she planned to go to the gate of the northern city wall early tomorrow morning to help the hunters deal with their prey, and although they were not paid, they would get a little meat.

The sunset in the town of Dodan isn't very beautiful, and the thorny mountains on either side of the canyon are so high that the sun always disappears early.

Nika stood on the high slope outside the town, and she quietly looked at the slum in front of her, which was mostly inhabited by indigenous people, and the residents here did some of the hardest and most tiring labor in the town, but they didn't earn much.

The sun went down, and everyone called it a day and went home.

Some Aborigines sat in front of their homes, holding a bowl of wild vegetable soup in one hand and half a baked wheat cake in the other, and bared their white teeth when they laughed.

She didn't know how long it would take, but she knew she was doing something very meaningful, and the town of Dodan was quietly changing.

Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of Baron Surdak's words of 'improving the living rights of the local natives' and 'reducing the privileges of the local nobles and the Empire', she knew clearly in her heart that life was getting better little by little.

……

Surdak walked into the Red Dragon Chamber with a bag of red crystals, and heard the Red Dragon Iser complaining to him in the secret room: "Surdak, why do you have to be late every time, I woke up twice before I saw you." ”

It stretched its huge head to Surdak, who reached out and patted the scales of its cheek, and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Issel, there's been a lot of going on on the White Forest Plane lately."

As he spoke, he opened the pocket in his hand and took out red crystals from them, like finger biscuits, and stuffed them into the mouth of the red dragon Isser.

After these days together, Surdak and Isser have become very familiar with each other.

And the IQ of this dragon is online, although he has not learned dragon language for the time being, but he has learned imperial Chinese first.

The place where the red dragon Isser's voice is pronounced is not in the throat area, there is its igniter, and the dragon breath that spews out will be ignited in the throat, and the place where it really pronounces is in the chest and abdomen, so although it is a female dragon, the sound it makes is extremely rough.

The red dragon Isser retracted his head a little so that it could keep its eyes on Surdak with two eyes, otherwise one eye would always be on him at a time.

"Let's learn something today, if you want me to say, since I have learned the imperial Chinese, and there are no other dragons to communicate with me, why should we learn those dragon languages?" Every time he finished eating the red crystal, the red dragon Isel wanted to be lazy.

However, this time it found a reason that Surdak was a little difficult to refute.

After thinking about it for a moment, Surdak spoke:

"Well, you will always meet other dragons in the future, you can't chat with other dragons, you can't insert a word, if there are other little female dragons take the opportunity to belittle you, and you don't understand at all, and you can't refute it, how depressing you say!"

The mane on the neck of the red dragon Iser exploded like a sharp sword, but then it reacted that Surdak was saying a hypothesis, and then lay meekly on the ground and muttered:

"Every day I learn those rune words, my head is going to explode. How simple the imperial Chinese language is, you can learn it casually, and how convenient it is to communicate! ”

Surdak walked to the side of the dragon eggshell, took out a magic crystal from it, checked the contents, and said: "It is your mother's last wish to teach you dragon language, and we are also learning together, some of the pronunciation here is not quite accurate, since I have made a promise, let's continue this matter." ”

Finding that in addition to his own torture, Surdak was with him, and suddenly became less resistant, and said:

"Since you say so, well."

Surdak held the magic engram in his hand, looked up at the red dragon Isser, and asked:

"By the way, do you understand what plane you're in?"

The red dragon Isser blinked his eyes and thought for a long time before saying: "It seems to be called Istanbul, there are many high-level demonic beasts on my side, wandering around their territory all day long, and after seeing me, they chase after me, so that I don't dare to fly out these days." ”

Hearing the complaint of the red dragon Isser, Surdak couldn't help but cover his forehead and said a little speechlessly: "I said, you are a red dragon, you should always have a little dignity as a dragon." ”

The red dragon Isser was also very aggrieved, and complained: "Is there any way? By the way, Surdak, have you ever seen a strange monster with thousands of eyes on its back, each of which can emit void rays, once hit by this ray, the body is like being trapped in the void space, and only by breaking that space can you escape......"

"No...... Have you ever been trapped inside? Surdak cared.

Speaking of this, the red dragon Isser immediately became very active, and vividly recounted how he was trapped: "A long time ago, when I was lucky, I met an astral unicorn in the void space, and it opened a gate to the astral realm, and then we took the opportunity to escape. ”

After speaking, he also said: "If you have a chance, I will definitely take you to Istanbul to have a look, the scenery here is not bad." ”

Surdak felt that he was really going to Istanbul, and he was probably not much better than an ant.

Hurriedly said: "Well, I think this matter will be talked about later, your plane...... I don't think it's quite for me. ”

Then he felt that he was not even as good as an ant, speaking of which, the power of the ghost-patterned red ants in the White Forest Plane almost crushed most of the demonic beasts in Invercargill Forest.

"Alright, let's continue learning the language of runes! The next time we meet, we'll try to add words made up of 'runic words' to our conversations. Surdak clapped his hands and began to study.

The red dragon Isser's eyes widened and he said:

"Are you sure? What if we accidentally utter the spell? ”

Surdak patted his forehead vigorously, feeling that his IQ may have dropped seriously recently, and when he was asked by the red dragon Isser, he suddenly realized a problem, and hurriedly said:

"I feel like ...... now The spells we learned earlier were probably meant to tell us early on to try not to say those words when speaking in dragon language, such as 'enigma', 'infinity', 'grief', 'fortitude', 'spirit'...... Because they're all dragon spells. ”

With every word Surdak uttered, the red dragon Iser couldn't help but want to dodge the huge dragon head, but it immediately realized that Surdak was using the imperial Chinese to say these words, and then breathed a fierce sigh of relief, and put the dragon head on the platform, rolling his eyes a little bored......

……

Surdak once again brought back a large amount of Warcraft leather.

Aphrodite casually opened the magic box on the side, and almost all of it was demonic leather.

I couldn't help but complain to Surdak: "Are you determined to reclaim that Warcraft Forest into farmland, so you can hunt so many Warcraft?" ”

Surdak took out the magic sealing boxes one by one, he had almost scavenged all the sealing boxes in the grocery store in Dodan Town, and now, it still couldn't fit the monster leather in the town.

He had already spent nearly two thousand gold coins on the purchase of the Demon Sealing Chest alone.

"Now we are facing a beast tide, of course, before the beast tide comes, try to eliminate these potential threats." Surdak said to Aphrodite.

Aphrodite didn't pay any attention to Surdak, and directly took out a piece of Moonblade Fire Wolf fur from the Demon Sealing Box, and prepared to spread it on his chaise longue.

Surdak brought the goods out and sat down next to Aphrodite to rest.

The entrance to the lava mine is a lava waterfall, and it is still very hot inside, but fortunately, the cool breeze blowing from the depths of the cave keeps the cave full of fresh air.

Surdak asked Aphrodite, "By the way, you said that the reason why you can summon me is because you can perform summoning magic, and the magic contract we signed is also the kind of magic contract of equal symbiosis, we are equal to each other, that also means that if I learn to summon magic, I can also summon you to my side?" ”

“……”

Aphrodi was stunned for a long time, looked at Surdak with a pair of eyes as magnificent as black crystals, and asked rhetorically with some uncertainty: "I said it?" ”
