In March, on the eve of the rainy season, the weather was exceptionally clear, the snow and ice melted on the ground, and two horses galloped on the road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the horses were Lucien and Lillian, both of whom wore pure black waterproof hooded jackets, light gray linen coats underneath, long swords hanging from their waists, and black boots on their feet, which had the smell of a ringing spirit.

Traveling far away during the rainy season, even if they are first-class wizard apprentices who can withstand radiation, they have to wrap themselves tightly to prevent some unpredictable dangers.

On both sides of the road, under the melting snow and ice, new sprouts are struggling to emerge.

As the horses advanced, there were gradually more people in front of them, and there were some passengers on the road, walking together, and some ox carts pulling goods were moving slowly on the road, and in the gap between the goods, there were passengers who took a ride.

Yilei is a commercial city, but also a river transportation city relying on the big river.

The purpose of Lucien and Lillian's trip to Yilei was to serve as a advance force, asking the merchants of Yilei for a large boat, so that they could go up the river and quickly go up the Missili.

There were nine people in the research team, one lecturer and eight students, and among the nine people, Lucian and Lillian were the least qualified, so this kind of errand task naturally fell on the two of them.

Yilei was at the bottom of the hillside, and Lucien looked down from the hillside, only to see that in the distance, where the water and sky meet, there were dozens of docks densely packed, and large and small ships were waiting to be loaded and unloaded.

Workers are busy, nervously carrying goods up and down.

Tax collectors are doing intense checks to verify the payment.

If it weren't for those mutated double-headed heads on the road, I would have thought that I was in Renaissance Europe.

"Let's go, Lillian, it's not too early. Lucien said.

Lillian answered.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

Driven by the two of them, the horses descended the hillside and approached the periphery of Yilei. Yilei is an open-plan commercial city with no walls.

After passing through the outlying civilian area, you will enter the commercial area.

The road is lined with bustling shops, which has the flavor of a big city in the past life. The sun was setting, but there were still a lot of people on the streets, and the kerosene lamps on the iron pillars on both sides of the road were lit one by one in the busy work of the workers.

"Let's find a hotel to rest first, and we'll talk about the boat tomorrow. Lucien suggested.

"It's okay, they'll arrive the day after tomorrow, and they'll be in time!"

Before the sky was completely dark, Lucien and Lillian found the most luxurious hotel in the city, and they each asked for a luxury single room for 200 yuan a night, and they spent so generously with public funds.

After freshening up in their respective rooms, they went downstairs and prepared to have dinner at the restaurant on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, two attendants stood at the door of the restaurant on the second floor and did not let them in.

Lucien frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but the restaurant on the second floor is being booked today!" a waiter in the restaurant ran out and apologized.

Lillian tugged at the collar of the waiter's clothes and said angrily, "You dare to talk to us like this, are you looking for death?"

Lillian's sudden anger caught Lucien a little off guard, what kind of thinking logic is this?

It's just that they don't let people in to eat, and looking at Lilian's attitude is like killing her whole family.

Lucien glanced at Lillian and dissuaded, "Forget it, let's go to the restaurant in the lobby to eat!"

Lillian pushed the waiter away and snorted coldly.

The two went to the first floor, and at the window of a restaurant on the right side of the lobby, they ordered two steaks and black tea, and ate them.

After dinner, seeing that it was still early and there was nothing to do when they went back, the two ordered some tea and snacks and sat in the restaurant to chat.

"Lucien, I didn't expect that among our group of low-level freshmen, you would be the fastest to become a first-class wizard apprentice. ”

"Didn't you also become a first-class wizard apprentice, and you still talk about me?"

Lillian smiled and laughed at herself: "My ancestors have had a few apprentices in my family, although they are now in decline, but there are still a few magic stones left at home, this time I can be regarded as using magic stones to buy a place as an intern in the pharmacy laboratory." ”

"Anyway, after the wizard, the son of the powerful, where is it like I am a commoner, it's just luck and my own efforts!" Lucien said with some vagueness as he ate the steak.

........

"Wow, isn't this a self-proclaimed business genius, a philosopher of poetry, and a little liar who never forgets, Lucien?"

After chatting for about half an hour, a nasty voice suddenly came from the side, and when I looked up, it turned out to be Link who I met during the outing and boasted of the strength of a "quasi-knight".

Lucien said indifferently: "What a coincidence!"

"Coincidentally, I've been looking for you for a long time! I've been looking for a long time in Yilei's Chamber of Commerce, aristocratic circles, and other places, but I don't hear from you at all, you liar! ”

Hear it, the hatred in Link's words.

"Are you going to kill him?" asked Lillian.

Lucien shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not easy to live once, don't pay attention to him." ”

Lillian nodded and agreed, "It's okay, so as not to disturb our mood for eating." ”

"You two ......" Link blushed, wanting to scold but afraid that he couldn't beat him, of course he wasn't afraid that the other party would kill him, and the other party didn't have the courage to do so, but he was afraid that the other party would really beat him, and when the time came, he cared about the face of Lei's upper circle, but it was all gone.

"Hmph!" Link sneered and said, "Today is the banquet of the Canary Chamber of Commerce, one of the thirteen big trading houses in Yilei, the banquet of the real nobles, I am going to go up to the banquet soon." And you, civilians, can only stay here. ”

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again, and Lucia, who was wearing a white evening dress, also walked in and asked, "Lucian, why are you here, you are not ......"

"Lucia, who is he?"

Behind Lucia, a blonde man in a dress stepped forward and asked.

He ...... My good friend. ”

"Son Renault, this guy is a liar, last time he deceived Miss Lucia with words in the suburbs. Link, who was worried and had no place to vent, focused on the suburbs about Lucien.

exaggerated the part of Lucian's bragging, and completely omitted the part of Lucian saving people, because he knew that Lucia would not refute him in order not to be grounded by the family.

Hearing Link's introduction, a trace of disdain flashed in Renault's eyes, and said: "Renault, the Canary Firm is my family's property, Lucien, you dare to brag in the suburbs to pursue our famous flower of Yilei, I don't know what the family background is?"

"Oh, by the way, don't talk nonsense, the whole Yilei is not familiar with my Renault. ”

Renault thought that he was very accurate in seeing people, looking at the dress of Lucien, the pitch-black robe accompanied by the long sword, the dress of a caravan bodyguard, to be able to eat here, it was a little money, and it was a great leader of a mercenary team.

The mercenary team is just the dog of their chamber of commerce.

Lucien Li ignored him, but said indifferently to Lilian: "Canary Chamber of Commerce, it's good to hear the name." ”

"That ......"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"It's fine. ”

After confirming the plan, Lucian turned to Lucia and said, "Miss Lucia, since you have a banquet to attend, then go quickly! I have some things to do in Yilei this time, and we will meet again next time." ”

Before Lucia could answer, Renaud said unkindly, "Next time, this way, since we can meet by chance, it can be regarded as fate, and I will give you a chance to contact the upper class." ”

"Good!

Lucia winked at Lucien and didn't say anything, just a pitiful look at Renault.
