Chapter Eighty-Four: The Lights Are Shining and the Evening Breeze is Slow
The sun is slowly setting, the night is sultry, and the town called Beili is lit up at the beginning of the day, and the people are full of voices, with a misty halo in the night.
Crunch crunch————
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the town gate, attracting the attention of the guards......
Not many people can afford a frame, and not only is this frame a little weird, but it's also pulled by no one or a Pokémon...... That's an eye-catcher.
Just as the guards were waiting, they saw the curtain of the car lightly lifted, and a handsome boy in white stepped off the frame and waved his hand at the guard, indicating that he was not hostile.
The guard was slightly stunned, this appearance and temperament are not ordinary, could it be that the prince and nobleman from which region are the people who came?
Although the transportation in this era is inconvenient, there are definitely not a few travelers, so it is not impossible to meet any noble children to travel...... Just guards? Could it be that this noble boy ran away from him?
When the guards were still pondering the identity of the comer, they saw that the man in white had already taken a few steps forward and asked loudly, "Can I store a frame here?" ”
The guards came back to their senses and hurriedly took a few steps forward, because of the appearance and temperament of the man in white, his tone couldn't help but carry a little respect, "You can drive into the town, there is a special place to store the frame inside." ”
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu couldn't help but sigh that although the Xicui area is dangerous, it is relatively convenient to travel.
A guard stepped forward to lead the way, Xu Qiansu waved his hand slightly, and the frame automatically followed behind the guard.
“…… This is? Another guard looked at Xu Qiansu.
"I have a Pokémon with superpowers." Xu Qiansu smiled slightly and explained.
As the junction of the Red Lotus Wetland and the Ultramarine Coast, Beili Town is a transportation hub, and the flow of people is not small, and items such as Poké Balls are naturally spread here, which may be worse than Zhuqing Village, but compared with the somewhat closed Ultramarine Town, it is undoubtedly much more enlightened in terms of Pokémon, so there is no need to be too taboo about the existence of Pokémon...... Naturally, the economy is also much more prosperous.
Before Xu Qian came here, he had already figured out this level of intelligence.
When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but show a little envy...... Even though Pokémon battles are not very popular in the Seicui region, the strength and scoundrels of the Pokémon with superpowers are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, he looked at Xu Qiansu's gaze with a few more respects from the heart.
The frame passed over Xu Qiansu and drove into the town...... Xu Qiansu nodded slightly to the guards, and followed the frame into Beili Town.
Xu Qiansu will go to Zhuqing Village, but it is impossible to ignore it, just drive over, and meet the town along the way and need supplies, and Gardelia needs materials to make a simple manual charger...... Chirulian's whereabouts also need Xu Qiansu to inquire carefully.
……
Stepping into the town gate, Xu Qiansu's first impression was lively.
The ancients didn't have much entertainment, and every night, they either slept honestly or ...... Don't sleep honestly.
But the north is different from the town, the streets of the four sides are full of big stalls and vendors, even if it is night, but there are still people coming and going, lively and lively, a scene like a festival...... It seems that the town is very commercially prosperous.
On top of that, passers-by on the side of the road also carry their own Pokémon through the streets...... If it weren't for the difference in architectural style and clothing, Xu Qiansu would have doubted whether he had come to the modern ......
"Childe is the first time you've come to Beili Town?" The guard who was leading the way tilted his head to talk.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and asked, "What is the festival tonight?" ”
The guard shook his head and chuckled, "That's not it, Beili Town doesn't say it's like this every night, but there are more than ten days a month that are as lively as today...... Since Childe is here for the first time, then you should have a good time tonight, as the north leaves the town as a gathering place for all directions, and the prosperity is far greater than that of the surrounding villages and towns...... It's long overdue to change the town to the city. ”
Xu Qiansu smiled gently, and asked again: "Is there a place to tell stories here?" ”
"Storytelling? What is that? The guard asked curiously.
"It's a place where stories are told."
"Oh, you go around the streets, in the past restaurants and teahouses, there are basically people who make up some anecdotes."
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu didn't say much, and he only answered briefly when the guard asked...... He was originally cold, but he only talked a lot in front of Ma Li.
After walking to the place where the frame was stored, Xu Qiansu stuffed some money as a token of gratitude, then boarded the frame, picked up Zoroa with one hand, turned his head to look at Gardelia, and said with a smile: "Do you want to remove the ghost and walk around here?" ”
Gardelia, who was meditating, opened her eyes and raised her willow eyebrows slightly, "You're not in a hurry at all, and you still have leisure to play?" ”
"Miss Marly's greatest strength, in addition to being cute, is that she can stay calm when she encounters anything...... So along the way, I learned this slowly. Xu Qiansu shook his head and chuckled lightly and said.
Of course, Xu Qiansu didn't want to play, he just took this opportunity to find out the information of Chirulian and buy some daily necessities by the way.
"Nonsense, I was so angry that I crushed the tree fruit directly."
"It seems that what I have learned is not to stay calm, but to quickly relax unnecessary negative emotions...... Xu Qiansu followed Gardelia's words, "Once upon a time, there were a few underground people who survived for 10,000 years, and whenever they encountered an unfavorable situation, they would also quickly calm down by laughing or crying......"
"Underground people of unknown significance." Gardelia shook her head slightly, then stood up and stepped on the plank...... In this way, it proves that she has been materialized, that is, she can be seen and touched by humans...... Although Xu Qiansu couldn't figure out what the principle was until this moment, but given that Jiadeliya has always been a very mysterious woman, Xu Qiansu didn't bother to delve into it.
The two lifted the curtain and stepped off the frame.
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly to the guards guarding near the frame before holding Zoroa towards the street.
Gadelia followed him, walking unfast, as if recalling the feeling of walking...... Walking was a relatively new experience for Cordelia, after all, she had long been accustomed to flying instead of walking.
The guard's gaze couldn't help but follow Gardelia, and then a calm voice came from his ears, "Watch your eyes. ”
The voice was soft, lazy but elegant, but hearing this, it made the guard fall into an ice cellar, and quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at his nose and nose, and secretly said in his heart What is the origin of this traveler? It's just that one is better than the other, how can there be such an inexplicable weird ability?
Xu Qiansu glanced at Jiadelia and said with a smile: "With Miss Jiadelia's appearance, it is human instinct to want to can't help but look at it a few more times...... Why scare him like that? ”
"He's been staring at me, you're not angry?" Gardelia didn't raise her eyelids, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"If it was Miss Marly, I guess I'd be angry."
"You did it on purpose?" Gardelia squinted at Xu Qiansu and asked.
Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes to look at the six tails who followed him with cat steps, and asked softly, "There are so many vendors on the street...... What do you want to eat? ”
"Huh?" The Six Tails said I don't want to eat any so-called snacks, I just want you to throw Zoroa down and hold me.
The six tails didn't want to eat it, but the vine snake that had been lying on Xu Qiansu's shoulder pointed to a store suspected of selling octopus balls, indicating that she wanted to eat this.
Xu Qiansu walked over, and Gardelia looked at him with her hands behind her back.
A handsome boy dressed in white and with a dusty temperament, he is bargaining with the boss, just buying a snack, but his words and deeds are very serious...... It's a bit like a child.
Gadelia shook her head and smiled, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the bustling street...... This kind of lively but noisy place, Gardelia has never been.
Zhulan often goes, and she also thinks about taking Gadelia to play...... But Gardelia prefers to sleep rather than play, and coupled with her identity and temperament, she gives up every time.
"Miss Gardelia, taste?"
After a stunned moment, Xu Qiansu had already handed over a box of steaming balls.
Gadelia blinked, she had never eaten this kind of street food, so she hesitated for a moment before stretching out her little hand to take it.
Xu Qiansu retracted his gaze, and immediately tied up a small ball with a bamboo skewer and fed it to Soroya, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Hmm~"
Xu Qiansu laughed, fed the six tails and the rattan snake to eat, and then walked forward.
Gadelia followed, and the two walked along the street not far from each other, as if they were no different from the young men and women who came and went.
Gadelia's appearance is extremely outstanding, and her temperament is even more good, Xu Qiansu doesn't need to say much, the two of them walked on the street, which attracted a lot of people's attention, but no one didn't know how to come to talk.
Gadelia took a small bite and bit into a little hot ball...... It doesn't taste bad, but that's it.
After she ate it once, she wouldn't eat it again.
Xu Qiansu suddenly stopped, and Jiadelia also paused, raised her eyes, but saw Xu Qiansu tilting her head to look at a teahouse.
Gadelia followed Xu Qiansu's line of sight, and it turned out that there was an old gentleman who was spitting and telling some stories that were not interesting in Gadelia's opinion.
What is it that fights against the entire ferocious Pokémon clan on its own and saves the village, or what is it that bravely enters the tiger's den in Longtan for the sake of an elf egg...... The story was novel and exaggerated, but for Gardelia, she could do all of this, so it was boring.
But Zoroa's eyes were shining, he was engrossed, and he listened very carefully...... It seems that it is interested in these things.
Xu Qiansu stopped and listened for a while, and then stepped forward to ask the guests if they had heard the story of a heterochromatic Chirulian...... After a moment, he walked out of the teahouse, shook his head lightly at Gardelia, and then smiled, "Let's go." ”
Gadelia nodded slightly, and the two didn't say much, silently walking on the bustling street.
Xu Qiansu stopped and went, asking the people around him from time to time about Chirulian's news...... But he rarely spoke to Cordelia.
Gadelia was not angry, but silently watched Xu Qiansu's every move.
As he walked, he saw Xu Qiansu suddenly turn around and asked, "Miss Gadelia rarely goes on the street like this?" ”
"Although I am a noble lady, I am not a lady with no life experience." Gadelia replied, then paused, and said, "But since I can remember, I was locked behind a green wall, until I met Zhulan, had my own Pokémon, and had the strength to have the opportunity to go out for a walk...... But I wasn't old enough to be interested in that. ”
Jiadelia had never mentioned her past experience to Xu Qiansu, so Xu Qiansu raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "You are only twenty years old, but you look like a noble lady in your thirties and forties." ”
"Noble lady?" Jiadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu and said, "They seem to have a good life, but they need to pay attention to their manners and demeanor at all times, and they will only cause trouble for themselves if they hang out all day long...... I don't have to care about that, but it's pretty much the same. ”
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that you didn't have a good impression on the world before, and going out casually will only cause panic." ”
The rampaging of mental power is equivalent to an unstable time bomb, and no one dares to bet that Gadelia can be completely controlled, plus mind reading...... Therefore, although Gadelia is one of the most powerful superpowers in this world, and is the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Heavens, she is still an object to be avoided in the eyes of the world.
Previously, Jiadeliya's friend was only Zhulan, and in addition to her personality, there was no reason for this.
Gadelia was accustomed to Xu Qiansu's keen observation and judgment, so she only said "um" for a moment before saying, "If they are afraid of me, they will be afraid of me, and I don't care about these things." ”
Xu Qiansu smiled and didn't say much, then looked at the many shops on the side, was silent for a moment, and then looked back at Gardelia, pointed to a small shop, and asked, "Are you hungry?" Eat more? ”
Gardelia turned her head to look at it, but she saw an ordinary shop, covered with a curtain, revealing only a row of benches, and the warm yellow light followed the heat of the birds through the curtain, mixed with the soft sound of 'zizz'.
Oden...... It is common in the Kanto and Johto regions of this world, but there are also in the Seisui area, and I don't know which region it originated from.
Gadelia frowned slightly, she instinctively resisted this kind of small shop, not that it tasted bad, but that it was not clean and poorly decorated, and that she would only attract everyone's attention when she went, and could not concentrate on eating at all.
However, she glanced at Xu Qiansu, then nodded lightly, but did not refuse.
Xu Qiansu smiled, led the Pokémon to walk forward, lifted the curtain, sat down on the bench, put Zoroya, Six Tails and Fuji Snake on the stool on the side, and ordered three portions of oden, radish, potato, bamboo wheel, fish ball, Jili egg, etc.
Jiadelia lifted the curtain, and the warm yellow light that greeted her eyes made her frown slightly, and then she held her long skirt and sat down next to Xu Qiansu, with her blond hair that reached her feet hanging down behind her.
There weren't many customers in the shop, just them.
The boss was a silent middle-aged man, he glanced at Xu Qiansu, Gardelia and the Pokémon, then withdrew his gaze, silently prepared oden, and after a while, he placed it in front of Xu Qiansu and the others.
Where had Zoroa eaten such a thing, he couldn't wait to bite it.
"Grab a few more cups." Xu Qiansu touched Soloya's little head, then removed the flask from his waist and looked at Gardelia, "Drink?" ”
Gadelia bowed her head slightly, indifferently.
"Wave chirp~" The vine snake nodded on tiptoe, stretched out his little hand, and waited for Xu Qiansu to pour a full cup for her, before squinting his big burgundy eyes cutely.
Xu Qiansu took a bite of the softly boiled radish, took another sip of wine, and ate it silently, without any words.
Gadelia didn't have much appetite, so she bothered her face and looked through the heat of the birds at the bustling crowds and the glittering streets.
After looking alone for a while, she retracted her gaze, looked at Xu Qiansu, and said, "Later, I will purchase some copper wires, good wood and other materials, and I can make a charger...... You'll be able to talk freely with your Miss Marley without any restrictions. ”
Xu Qiansu took another sip of wine before putting down the glass, smiling gently, "Fortunately, Miss Gardelia is here." ”
"Hmm." Gadelia replied casually, her white and tender little hands casually playing with the wine glass, without saying anything more.
Zizizi————
The hot soup made a soft sound, and the aroma continued to reverberate on the tip of the nose.
But I heard a young man and woman walking into the shop and sitting down on a bench.
It seems to be a couple.
However, although they are a couple, they have no dissolute behavior, and they have a taste of "love and courtesy".
Gadelia retracted her gaze and immediately looked at Xu Qiansu, but suddenly found that although Xu Qiansu was full of lies and had said a lot of love words to Ma Li, she never seemed to have responded positively......
So she asked directly, "Do you like Marly?" ”
Xu Qiansu glanced at Jiadelia suspiciously, feeling a little inexplicable, and then said: "Miss Jiadelia means that the world is afraid of you...... However, at present, no one knows our identity in the Xicui area, so we can come and visit often in the future. ”
Still didn't answer positively, but Gadelia can read minds, and it doesn't matter if Xu Qiansu doesn't answer.
Feeling a little bored, she picked up her glass and sipped it gently.
Xu Qiansu smiled, and immediately picked up a piece of potato and fed it to Zoroya.
Then he said, "When I go back, let's go eat oden...... Just to see how the taste has changed after such a long time. ”
Gadelia was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and then said, "You haven't eaten it?" ”
"Nope."
"I mean your world."
Xu Qiansu glanced at Jiadeliya, but he didn't care, he chuckled, and said, "I had a better choice at that time...... Hot pot, spicy fragrant pot, etc., so I didn't try this. ”
"I haven't eaten it."
"I'll do it for you next time."
Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu again, picked up a piece of radish and put it in her lips, and chewed it slowly.
Xu Qiansu chuckled lightly and didn't say anything more.
Zizi Zizi——————
The hot soup of the oden still makes a soft sound, and the aroma continues to echo through the tip of the nose, but this time there is the sound of young men and women talking and laughing.
