"Tell me about yourself." In the servant's room, Babu leaned against the corner, Monica sat at Judy's bedside, smiled and waved her hand, and said, "We are marginal merchants of Monica and Babu's Chamber of Commerce. ”

Judy's face was still covered with festering wounds, and now she was drugged and bandaged, and she couldn't see her expression at all, but she could clearly see from her sparkling eyes, and when she heard the strange look in the two of them calling themselves marginal businessmen, it was like saying, don't lie to people, I heard it all just now.

"Ahem, no kidding." Monica secretly kicked Babu, coughed a few times and said, "We're really marginal merchants, I'm Monica, that's Babu." ”

"I'm Judy, a wandering traveler on the edge." Judy still spoke intermittently because of the injury, but she could barely hear clearly, "I didn't have any fixed goals before, but I was more curious about the secrets on the edge, so I just traveled around to gather some knowledge." ”

"Tsk, I really met a marginal scholar." Monica asked, "Do you usually travel on your own?" And, you're not from the same town as those people before you? ”

"Of course, it is impossible to travel on my own, I usually follow the caravan, and when I encounter the present world that I am interested in, I will stay for the time being, and after studying for a while, I will follow the next caravan and leave. It is still relatively rare for a fringe mage to be willing to travel, so most of the caravan people are quite welcoming and willing to take me around. Judy's eyes darkened, and she sighed lightly, "As for the townspeople, their town is called Shirin, and it may have been a city dozens or hundreds of years ago, and there are a few strange statues in the town. I was just curious about the statues, so I stayed in their town for more than a month. ”

"They are all very kind people, and we get along very happily until one day, a natural disaster broke out." Judy's fists clenched, and her eyes glanced at Anna's position several times, "A strange being who is likely to be the master of the illusory world has set its sights on Shirin, and in only five days, a life of three thousand people with a population of three thousand is left with the dozens of people you just saw. Later, I fled to the edge with their fighters with the few remaining men, trying to gamble on whether we could find the entrance to the rest of the world before everyone mutated. We held out for two days, alas...... Still failed, only one step away, only one step away. ”

"Lasted two days?" Monica exclaimed, "We used to think that the limit of ordinary people would not exceed two days, and most people would not be able to support even one day. ”

"People who have no resistance, two days is indeed the limit, and if you want to persist to this limit, you must control your emotions, you must not panic, let alone excessive fear, once you collapse emotionally because of fear and panic, it can be said that madness and fear are the root cause of mutation." Judy smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It is said that the purpose of the Illusory World Lord to erode the present world is also to create fear and madness, well, it seems that it is not only fear, there may be other emotions, in short, devouring these emotions may be the same as devouring the souls of the present world, which can make them stronger." But it's just some folklore, just listen to it as a story. ”

"No wonder those warriors were still talking before they died, they can't be afraid, they can't panic, it seems that you also gave them advice." Monica also sighed and patted Judy's bandaged arm, "Anyway, you tried your best, and the final failure was not your fault, if it weren't for ...... Forget it, if you don't mention this kind of thing, what are your plans for the future? ”

"What are your plans for the future? Heh......" Judy burst out laughing, "I guess you kidnapped her." ”

"Poof", Babu, who was drinking water, squirted out directly, and Monica also looked strange and speechless.

"Polluting energy is deeply rooted in my body, even if this kid helps me...... Help me...... Help me clean up, it will take at least a few months before and after to cure, otherwise it will recur soon, and then I will become a monster. Judy touched her bandaged face, "You don't seem like people who can do this kind of thing, and I just don't happen to be the kind of person who turns around and leaves after being cured, so we estimate that we will have to work with you for a long time in the future, but at least we will have to wait until my wound is almost recovered, about half a month." ”

"Looks like you know a lot." Monica and Babu looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the surprise and surprise in each other's eyes, "I'm sure you will be of great help to us in the future." ”

"I hope so." Judy has been very calm, or since she was rescued, she has always been calm, no matter what happened, there were no big mood swings, "I can help, now it is only my marginal knowledge, if there is anything I don't understand in the future, just ask me, although I don't understand most of it." ”

"Can you ask? So, what exactly is the edge? ”

Judy looked at Babu calmly and said lightly, "This question...... The 96-hour regular commentary version is too deep for you to understand, so why don't you change to the 360-hour children's version? ”

"Tsk, Anna, up, go lick her."

Seeing that Babu rolled his eyes, the corners of Judy's mouth secretly curled, but immediately calmed down again, and said lightly: "There is no answer to this question, it's just some of my own research experience." And it's really complicated, it's impossible to explain it clearly in a short period of time, so if I have time in the future, I'll discuss it with you slowly. ”

"Let's go."

"Okay." Judy was stunned and nodded slightly, "That's 'Let's discuss it slowly'." ”

"That's it." Monica got up to cover Judy with the quilt and said softly, "Today's everything is a nightmare, let's sleep, and get better as soon as possible, we still have to wait for the three hundred and sixty hours of the toddler version." Hey, have a good rest, but in order not to arouse suspicion, I will first wronged you to sleep in the servant's room, and wait for the opportunity to ...... tomorrow."

"I'm not aggrieved, I was a maid in a noble lord's house since I was a child, and I learned my first magic at the age of seventeen, so I prefer this kind of room." Judy suddenly blinked strangely, "By the way, the city where I grew up is called King Vera, and we may have been neighbors." ”

Monica paused, lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds before she looked up and said to Babu, "Babu, Anna borrowed it from me." Anna, on, go lick her. ”

"Hey......" Judy lifted the quilt to cover her head, and also covered the smile that was about to be revealed when she couldn't control it.

Babu and Monica smiled at each other, and without bothering Judy, they picked up Anna and exited the servant's room.

"Yes, yes, our chamber of commerce has grown again." As soon as she returned to the living room, Monica immediately stretched out her waist, showing off her bumpy figure. Babu, who twisted his nose and looked straight at his eyes, turned around, and after scolding a few words with a smile, he said, "It's all your fault, I got dirt today, I want to take a good shower first, and ...... it at night."

"I remember when I was in Sol, someone once sent an invitation and she asked me to have a drink with her. It's a pity that after that, various problems continued one after another, and I never found an opportunity. Babu suddenly straightened his clothes inexplicably, dug out a set of etiquette from which corner of his memory, bent down, stretched out his right hand to Monica and said, "Now I finally have a chance, although the atmosphere of the tavern just now is average, but the environment looks good, strange city, dark night, this beautiful lady, I wonder if I am qualified to invite you to accompany me for a few drinks?" ”

"How?" Monica narrowed her eyes with a smile and tilted her head to look at Babu, "Want to catch big fish again?" ”

"Of course, I won't let go of the opportunity to fish." Babu slowly poked her head over and whispered in Monica's ear, "But what I'm trying to catch tonight is another fish, and I've been fishing for a long time from the underground lake in Tanuki Town." ”

"Fishing is a dangerous activity, are you ready?" Monica grabbed Babu's collar and slowly pulled his face towards herself, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, and her breath was already hitting each other's faces, Monica's face suddenly turned red, and she kicked on Babu's foot, pushing him away from front of her, and let out a string of presumptuous laughter from her mouth, "You just want to go slowly, dead child." Hmph, you wait for me, and I'll get to the tavern in a moment and see how I clean you up. ”

Leaving behind a seductive look, Monica turned and walked into the bathroom. Although he didn't know why she had to carry a whip when she went into the bathroom, Babu always felt that this answer must be very terrifying, and he didn't want to know at all, so he resolutely did not follow up, but happily hugged Anna and stood in the garden downstairs of the inn, admiring this rare and prosperous scene.

"Huh?" As soon as he had taken a few steps around the garden, Babu was downstairs on the other side of the slab and saw two smaller rickshaws, similar in structure to the caravans of two, with a carriage dragging behind them, in a very strong marginal merchant style. A little further afield, there are four two-wheeled carts, which are quite primitive compared to the rickshaws and caravans in the yard.

But looking at the other floors, all the rooms were dark, I don't know if I had already slept or gone out to enjoy the night in the city, thinking in my heart, Babu shook his head with a smile and sighed in a low voice: "It seems that this city is really lively." ”

"What's wrong?"

Monica's voice rang out from behind, and Barbu turned around to find that she had suddenly forgotten how to breathe.

The burgundy dress is soft and close-fitting, the red high heels make the figure even taller and outstanding, the long chestnut hair is curly and scattered over the shoulders, and a pair of eyes are a mixture of the contradiction of fierceness and gentleness.

"Whoa, whoa ”

"You can run as far away as possible now." Monica in this outfit even has a dangerous attraction in her smile.

"It's too late now, and there's no escape."

"It's my favorite dress, but I don't think you're ...... dress," Monica smiled as she straightened his collar, "it doesn't seem to be a good match." ”

"yes." Babu sighed and looked down at his ordinary coarse cloth coat, "I think so too. ”

Monica didn't speak, just tilted her head, with a bit of ridicule and provocation in her eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, Babu took back the copper plate that he habitually took out to play with, raised his eyebrows at Monica in response, and then rang the copper bell that was calling on the side, and soon, a waiter ran over with the person in charge.

Babu whispered a few words in the ear of the person in charge, and the person in charge immediately understood and walked away quickly, and Babu was not in a hurry, holding Monica together, and the two took a slow walk in the small garden. Less than ten minutes later, there was another messy footstep, and the person in charge was accompanied by a thin man in his thirties, with several calluses on his right hand, a tape measure around his neck, and a philistine expression.

"Sir, I'm glad I'm Gad, the best tailor in East Valley City, I don't know if you summoned me ......"

Before he could finish his greeting, the innkeeper kicked him in the back, laughing and pulling him aside to reprimand him in a low voice, and occasionally words such as "Sir Karl, big city, status, big man" could be heard floating over.

By the time the tailor Gad came up again, he had already put on a smile on his face, rubbed his hands, and said, "Lord Babu, it was really rude just now, please forgive me, please forgive me, if you have any needs, I will satisfy you." ”

"Make me a dress in the popular style of Vera Royale." With an indifferent look, Babu dusted off the ordinary cloth clothes on his body in disgust, and said in a natural tone, "If it weren't for the fact that most of the luggage was ruined on the edge, I really couldn't help it, I really didn't want you to make clothes for me." Well, I don't expect you to provide any good fabrics and good handiwork, I just have one request, be fast. Tomorrow His Royal Highness the Baron has invited us to a banquet, and we may have to be received by His Majesty in the evening, so it is better to make it tonight and send it to me. ”

"This, this, this...... My lord, it's impossible. The tailor's face wrinkled together, "We have always been handmade and meticulous, and it takes at least twenty, no, twenty-five days to make a dress, and we really can't do it no matter how fast we are." ”

"Huh? Can't do it? Babu looked at Gad scrutinically, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he pursed his lips and said in disappointment, "There is still a little bit of foundation here, I should have thought that you couldn't do it." Forget it, don't embarrass you, you go back, tomorrow you can only find a chance to explain the situation to Your Majesty, the conditions in the city are limited, and Your Majesty can understand it. ”

"Don't, don't, you wait, sir." The premonition that he might be embarrassed made Gard break out in a cold sweat, and he was busy laughing, "I have a way, I have a way, your figure is quite standard, we have a few samples in the shop, some of which just fit your figure, and the samples are all hand-sewn with good fabrics, you ......"

"You ......," said Babu, with a faint anger on his face, "are you asking me to buy ready-to-wear clothes like an upstart?" Are you humiliating me? ”

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, you misunderstood, not to buy, how can it be to buy." The tailor was about to cry, and quickly explained, "You try on the samples for a few days, and when we have finished the clothes and you are satisfied with the receipts, you will return the samples to us when we are paid for the work." Isn't it just right, you give money for the clothes we make, definitely not to buy ready-to-wear, absolutely not. ”

Babu pondered for a moment, and his face finally relaxed, and he waved his hand, "Okay, just do it, and the ready-to-wear will be ...... Send me the samples. Then, I'll give you a month, and after the clothes are ready, I don't care how much it is, you just tell the people at the inn and ask them to notify me, and I'll give you double. It's none of your business, you go. ”

It wasn't until the tailor and the innkeeper left with a smile that Babu turned around and raised an eyebrow at Monica again, in exchange for a smiling glance from Monica. Babu was about to lean in and say something more, but before he could speak, he heard a woman's laughter from the depths of the garden.

"Wonderful show, hee-hee."
