Chapter 42: Awakening from a Dream
"Wake up, wake up!"
Eth's anxious voice came into her ears, and Ling Ya woke up slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a strange feeling. Ling Ya felt that she had woken up several times, waking up from her dreams, each time the dream seemed real, but after waking up, she would slowly forget.
Outside the window, the early morning sun shines on the face, and it is a little warm...... No, let the author look around, I remember that it seems to have been said before, the window of Ise's bedroom seems to be facing south, so the afternoon sun can shine in the room.
But if memory serves, it's supposed to be early in the morning, so what is the sun that spills sunlight into the room?
Well, that's a question worth pondering. But, after thinking about it, the author thinks that no matter how much it is, everything is due to the technology called black technology.
Wait, this seems to be the wizarding world, so it should be black magic...... Forget it, it's still called black technology, at least the author thinks it's still a little better.
"Ah, finally woke up. Little Lori looked at Ling Ya, who opened her eyes and looked shocked at herself, and gently patted her chest, with a cute expression that frightened the baby.
"When did you come back?" Ling Ya looked at Ace, a little puzzled, she couldn't remember when Ace came back.
Again, her mind was a little confused, as if she had forgotten something that she should have remembered, or something that she should have forgotten.
"Just came back. Ise still had some worry on her face, and looked at Ling Ya with an expression of wanting to say something.
"Really?" Ling Ya nodded, indicating that she knew. Suddenly, she was stunned, "You just came back?"
Ease was a little uneasy by Ling Ya's look, lowered her head, and took out a delicate pastry from the bracelet, this time it was not a cake, it smelled a faint scent of osmanthus.
This is, osmanthus cake?
The author wants to ask now that it's only April, where did you get your osmanthus from? Okay, I admit that this is a different world, there is magic, and there are always some unscientific things. But where did you get your osmanthus cake from?
Osmanthus cakes were sold on Ise's way back, and even in the city of Kerros, which never sleeps, most of the shops were closed in the middle of the night.
After all, electricity ...... I mean, magic doesn't cost money! Most of the merchants who set up shop in the city that never sleeps have good strength. Because in this way, you can charge your own magic crystal lamp by itself, saving money. If you let those magic apprentices who specialize in filling magic lamps do it.
Well, if you think the money is good, you can try. Even if you can get a monthly pass, the consumption of the magic crystal lamp is very fast, and you can only have three days at a charge, and each charge can drain the magic power of a magic apprentice's body.
The feeling of prostration after all the magic has been drained, like the prostration feeling after running a full throttle of dozens of kilometers (if you can run and play) doing 2,000 sit-ups and jogging all day, although the author doesn't think anyone can do it.
For a mage, the feeling of not having the slightest bit of magic on his body is devastating, after all, when you get used to going out with your clothes on, and one day you go out naked to buy groceries, who can say that you don't care except for perverts?
But why does it always feel weird?
Moreover, it takes five days for the mage apprentice to return to a full state after the mana is exhausted, of course, it is only an average, and some geniuses and fools don't care, anyway, no matter how they pull it, they still take the average in the end.
What I just said may not be so easy to understand, at least the author actually doesn't understand the meaning of the paragraph he typed, but if you say it differently, it is much easier to understand.
When the blue bar is empty, it takes time to get back to full, and there is no such thing as spring water in the real world, even if there is a blue bottle, I mean it is used on mages, and it is a potion to speed up the recovery of mana, but this thing is so expensive, and magic apprentices can't afford to use it at all, so the alchemy department is the way to make money, you must know that selling medicine is a profession that is faster than robbing the bank to make money!
Isn't that off topic again?
Moreover, there are street lamps on both sides of the road, and the distance is almost one at the door of every house, and some families even have more than two magic crystal lamps.
There is no such thing as solar energy in this world, which does not cost money, I mean tall and pollution-free clean energy, because this world does not use electricity, people use magic.
However, the government does not reimburse the street lamp at the door, and the three empires all have one thing in common, that is, picking!
Whoever has the street lamp in front of his house wants to solve the magic problem by himself, and if he breaks the law at night, he will not only be fined, but also detained for a few days, and he will not let go every day if he doesn't light it up.
Therefore, many magic apprentices are part-time magic lamp chargers while studying, although they are not so boastful as lions, but the asking price for this business is generally not low. In addition, one way to increase the mana reserve is to clear all the mana stored in the body, and then through meditation to recover slowly, you can increase the upper limit of mana.
It's a way to increase your magic, the safe kind, only for apprentices, of course. For those above the apprentice, even if they are only second-level mages, this is useless, after all, high-level mages still need knowledge. Of course, making money is another matter.
It is said that there is even a seventh-level light archmage who specializes in wearing a black cloth at night, dressed like an assassin, and fills the magic crystal lamp door to door, and it is also free.
So, it's hard to say that the archmage has a hole in his brain. Otherwise, this level 7 mage likes to run around in the middle of the night to recharge people for free. Ise also knew a mage who liked to dress in rags and work as a beggar in a nameless town, knowing that his net worth could buy many cities that were about the same size as the nameless town, or even bigger.
Those who open shops in the city that never sleeps, basically have good cultivation, in this world of all people's mages, low-level mages can basically be everyone, as long as they want to, and then there is a "Master Cultivation Manual", or "Teach you to rub fireballs in minutes" and other mage introductory books, below the third level, basically no pressure.
But that doesn't mean that you still have the strength to charge the magic crystal lamp after charging the street lamp. Also, I always have to go to bed in the middle of the night.
The security at night is not very good, after all, most people know that after midnight, some ghosts, snakes and gods will come out and run around, and it will not be fun if you accidentally fish in the pond.
After Xiao Lori and Luo Yi solved the black lion, they also rummaged through the black lion's room, although they didn't find anything good, but they still let Luo Yi find a few gold coins, although it wasn't much, but it was money!
When little Lori thought of going back, she saw the dessert shop that was still lit up in the middle of the night, and then she walked in and bought a few pieces of osmanthus cake.
It's not because the osmanthus cake is too fragrant, but Xiao Lori couldn't help but buy it, anyway, Luo Yi paid for it.
