Chapter 59: IQ may be worrisome
Victoria Harbour is the only maritime port in the Magic Republic and the Magic Continent, and is famous for its location in Victoria Town. www.biquge.info Of course, whether there was a town or a port first, and so on, I won't discuss too much here.
To put it simply, Victoria Harbour does not belong to any of the seven autonomous city-states because of its special status, but has its own self-governing council. Of course, the members of the council could only be the top families of the major city-states, after all, no ruling class would let go of a super fat meat like the seaport.
So as soon as you walk into Victoria Town, you will find that airships that are difficult to see in ordinary towns abound here, most of them are black and gray, and they are very large, looking more like cargo ships, quietly suspended 20 meters above the ground.
Further up, there is a white airship that is slightly smaller, suspended in the air 30 meters above the ground, such an airship Jinshan has seen, it is the airship that Benito and Achilles of the White Cross were riding last time, some of them are printed with the White Cross insignia, and some are not, it seems that the white airship is not the exclusive vehicle of the White Crusaders.
Finally, at the top of all the airships, there is a petite red airship, suspended fifty meters above the ground, the airship airbag emblazoned with a cross-sword and a libra intertwined badge, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the red airship, Jin Shan fell in love with this kind of transportation that combines high quality and comfort and convenience, and thought about whether to collect materials and DIY such an airship.
In this way, when traveling in the Holy Demon Continent in the future, there is no need to carry the little Lori on her back all day like now, you know, although the nightmare is only 6 years old, but the weight is still there, if she grows up a little more, Jin Shan is very worried about whether he will suffer from cervical spondylosis and other terminal diseases because of carrying the little Lori for a long time.
Not much nonsense......
Getting into the town was easier than expected, and although the walls surrounding the town were tall and long, there were no guards in front of the gates. The concept of defending against monsters never seems to have crossed the minds of the residents of Victoria, which explains why there are still large tracts of farmland outside the town, even though they are so close to the Andes Mountains, where monsters are infested.
Carrying the little Lori on his back, Jinshan walked along the river that crossed the town, and there were four such rivers, evenly distributed on the other four main roads that crossed the town, and as they deepened, the five rivers gradually converged into one, and at the end of the converging river was the legendary Victoria Harbour.
Along the way, there are all kinds of large shops, people, trucks, cargo ships, coming and going, and the river is endless. Jin Shan was dizzying, and little Lori didn't care about playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand, and looked at the lively scene that she had never seen in Anlin Town with big eyes and big eyes.
Among the pedestrians who came and went were not only merchants from the city-states of the Demon Command Republic, but even merchants from the Holy Demon Continent. Not only because the clothes worn by the people of the Holy Demon Continent were slightly different from those of the Demon Continent, but also because Jin Shan keenly felt the fluctuations of demonic power from the pedestrians passing by him, which was the fundamental reason why he believed that this group of merchants was from the Holy Demon Continent.
Without thinking about it further, the father and daughter probably hadn't seen any living people for several days, and they were extremely excited when they arrived at the human gathering place. Carrying the nightmare on his back, Jin Shan glanced at the shops on one side of the river for a while, and then crossed the stone bridge across the river to the shops on the other side.
sells special products, sells grain, sells cloth and clothes, and even sells refrigerators and electrical appliances, which gives Jin Shan a new understanding of the super chaotic setting of the original author.
Tired of walking, Jinshan stopped in front of a small shop selling local products. The tip of the nose moved, and a familiar sweet fragrance penetrated into the nose.
"Chocolate!" Surprised, Jin Shan put his hand into the sack of goods placed outside the shop.
When I took it out, I saw that the black black coal with a sweet fragrance was not the super original version of the chocolate I had bought in Anlin Town?
Because I changed the recipe, the true charm of chocolate was fully revealed, and I remember that Nightmare liked this kind of snack made into a plate very much, and whenever I had time, I would make some snacks and store them in Lori's snack jar. However, this time I was in a hurry, and I couldn't bring some inconsequential things such as snack cans with me.
"Dad, I smelled the smell of chocolate, and I really wanted to eat chocolate, but I didn't even take the can of the piggy. ”
Little Lori's nose is still very useful, and she also smells the fragrance of black coals, but because the difference between black coals and made chocolates is too big, she didn't recognize the true identity of black coals.
"Nightmare, this is a coincidence......"
Just as he was about to tell the true identity of the black coal, a voice suddenly came from in front of him.
"Guest, is there anything I can help with?"
Jin Shan raised his head when he heard this, and an uncle in his forties was standing in front of him.
As soon as he saw the strange clown face of Qing Jinshan, the shop uncle's eyes suddenly froze.
"Daddy, Nightmare craves chocolate. ”
Little Lori's cute children's voice is like a clear spring to wake up the uncle from his sluggishness, and when he sees the porcelain doll with red lips and white teeth, the uncle's eyes are wider, and there is even a slight horror in it.
"Little, little girl, is this really your father?" asked with trembling teeth, and the shop uncle clenched his fist and moved forward, as long as the little girl's answer was "no", he planned to sacrifice himself to save this super cute little girl.
"Of course, Daddy is a nightmare, and I don't allow anyone to snatch Daddy. Who are you? Are you going to rob your father from Nightmare?"
Hearing the uncle's words, little Lori was angry, holding her father's head with both hands, and looking at this bad guy who was going to snatch her father with big eyes.
"Huh!?"
The shop uncle was obviously confused by Wei Xiao's reaction, and when he saw Wei Xiao's big eyes, he hurriedly took a step back and waved his hand: "No, no, no, little girl, I don't want to rob you of my father, it's just that your father and daughter are dressed too strangely." ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, Jin Shan, who was stunned on the side, understood. Not to mention that the cuteness index has risen hundreds of times since Coss with Anne, but by himself, wearing a purple suit and super weird clown makeup, it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.
No wonder the shop uncle will doubt his father-daughter relationship with little Lori, if he suddenly sees such a pair on the street, he will also wonder if the little girl is trafficked or perverted.
Thinking of this, Jin Shan hurriedly spoke: "Uncle, this is my daughter, Wei." We dress up like this in our hometown, and I'm sorry to misunderstand you, but thank you for having this heart, thank you. ”
"No, no, I misunderstood you, I should have said I'm sorry. Waving his hand, the shopkeeper slowly walked over: "Little girl, uncle wants to apologize to you, I misunderstood your father, and besides, uncle will not rob you of your father." ”
"Really?" there was some doubt in Nightmare's big eyes.
"Of course!" replied in the affirmative.
It was only then that little Lori burst into the most beautiful smile: "Thank you, uncle, for not robbing your father with the nightmare." ”
"Rub, when I'm a person, I can grab it casually. Jin Shan, who heard Little Lori's words, wanted to cry without tears.
"Haha, your name is Nightmare, the little girl is so cute, I've never seen such a beautiful little girl. I was amused by Little Lori's words, and the shop uncle praised him sincerely.
"Thank you, uncle. Wei obediently thanked her, she was still very happy to be praised, and Meow Meow couldn't help but lift the card.
"Come on, come on, what do you want to eat, tell your uncle, uncle has a lot of delicious food. "I was cute by the nightmare again, and the shop uncle has completely entered Santa Claus mode.
"Well...... Kindness...... Nightmare wants to eat chocolate. The little girl nodded her lips before she said what she wanted to eat.
"Chocolate...... What's that?" Hearing the name of a food he had never heard before, the shop uncle was momentarily confused.
"No need, uncle, if you have to give something to the nightmare, can you let me get some of this black coal?"
"Oh!?do you mean cocoa blocks? This kind of thing is generally used to feed livestock, and the merchants of the Holy Demon Continent generally like to buy this kind of thing. Seeing the cocoa block that Jin Shan was referring to, the shop uncle was a little surprised.
"Well, is that okay?" nodded affirmatively.
"Well, since you insist. Pulling through a small bag, the enthusiastic uncle directly filled a full bag. As he said, cocoa lumps have not been liked by humans because of their bitter taste, and can only be used as a feed additive for feeding livestock, and correspondingly, the price is also very cheap.
After taking the bag full of fills, Jin Shan thanked him before continuing to walk in the direction of the harbor with the nightmare on his back.
Little Lori still remembers saying goodbye to the shop uncle, which attracted another round of praise from the shop uncle.
As he walked, Jin Shan noticed that there were really a lot of eyes on him and Nightmare, and he originally wanted to change his outfit to avoid the attention of the "fish" organization, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and now he and Nightmare are like two big light bulbs, unscrupulously seducing everyone's attention.
With a wry smile, Jin Shan once again doubted his IQ.
Walking to the middle and rear end of the main road, the little Lori on her neck suddenly made a sound.
"Daddy, Nightmare's little belly is hungry. ”
Awakened by the voice of the little Lori, Jin Shan stopped. With his right hand touching back, the bag containing the dry food was empty.
"Nightmare, don't worry, let's go to the big restaurant. With a word of comfort, Jin Shan looked at the restaurant not far from the side of the street and walked straight to it.
When he walked to the restaurant, Jin Shan's heart suddenly "clicked".
"Oh no, I don't seem to have any money with meow. It was only then that Jin Shan remembered that he had left all his money bags in the room because he was in a hurry.
"What to do, what to do......" Pacing anxiously, Jin Shan's eyes were a little more flustered.
"Dad, aren't we going in?" The little Lori on her neck saw the restaurant close at hand, her little stomach couldn't hold it anymore, and she cooed.
Hearing the scream of the nightmare's stomach, Jin Shan's heart was inexplicably sour. His hands unconsciously touched his whole body, and when he touched his chest, his movements couldn't help but stop.
There was a twinkle of struggle in his eyes, and as the sound of the nightmare cooing sounded again, the struggling gaze finally stayed on firmness.
Slowly putting down the nightmare on his neck, Jin Shan bent down and said, "Nightmare, wait here obediently, Dad will leave for a while, wait for Dad to come back, let's go eat delicious prawns together." ”
Little Lori nodded with a "hmm", then lowered her head and played with the Rubik's Cube in her hand.
Quickly turning around and running across the stone bridge to the other side of the river, Jin Shan touched the silver flask on his chest, and the corners of his eyes slowly became wet.
"Sorry, Muse, for not keeping your flask......"
The flask on his chest has a special meaning to Jin Shan, it is the same pot he drank when he first met the Muse, and with this he successfully won the trust of the Muse, and when he left the magic capital, he did not forget to take it with him. It can be said that the value of the flask lies not only in the material of sterling silver, but also in the fact that it is the only sustenance of Jinshan's feelings for the muse.
Now, for the sake of the nightmare, and also to raise the cost of going to the Holy Demon Continent, Jin Shan had to choose to sell the wine jug.
Wiping away his tears, Jin Shan pushed open the door of the pawn shop.
