Chapter 233: The Big Procurement Incident (I)
December 31, 7951 in the Karen calendar.
Inside the Castle of Justice
In a room with a warm fireplace
"Hmm-hmm~~~"
Tina, who was lying on the soft bed, stretched, her white arms exposed to the air.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly poked her head out of the warm bed.
The girl's long platinum-blond hair was scattered on the snow-white quilt, like a golden tulip flower, blooming in winter.
Although the sleepiness was still entangled, she still forced herself to get up slowly when she remembered what she had to do today.
Beautiful figures shuttle in light and shadow.
Tina, who sat on the dresser, combed her hair as she gently unbuttoned her waist.
Silk pajamas ran down her milky skin to her feet.
The girl lifted her leg slightly, shedding the last trace of restraint, and then picked up the ordinary artifact armor on the hanger naked.
After a burst of murmuring sounds.
Dressed in the familiar white gold robes, Tina yawned and prepared to start the day.
"Uhhh
She pulled back the pale yellow curtains, letting the light into the room through the window.
Outside the window, the blue sky has been dyed golden by the sun, and a patch of white snow covers the roof and grass, forming a beautiful picture.
Tina pulled out her chair and sat down at her desk.
She carefully opened the drawer, unraveled the multiple magic circles she had set up, and then pulled out a thick journal from it.
Tina looked at the diary in front of her, which was almost half full of pages, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up a small arc.
It's always hard to guess what a girl thinks.
No one would have thought that Tina, who is usually smug-minded, would have the habit of keeping a diary.
She gently tucked her dangling hair behind her ear, and then summoned a quill with a serious face, taking every word she wrote down seriously, as if she were completing some kind of ritual.
With the "rustling" sound of the quill on the paper, beautiful dragon texts emerge on the paper.
December 31, 7951
Weather: Sunny
It had been three days since I entered the Dragon Tavern.
Today is the last day before the New Year, and everyone in the Castle of Justice is also rarely together.
Oh, except for Shirley, who was busy out and about to do some weird event.
She's been really busy lately, and she hardly sees anyone except for dinner at night.
But fortunately, Carol basically didn't go out after attending several promotion ceremonies to the Magister.
We often play Hearthstone cards together, and she always likes to use the trick of five fireballs, which is annoying, how can that plastic magic break through Tina's defenses!
Instantaneously and Vivien have been learning some elven combat skills with that bad guy recently, and they can't see a dragon shadow all day long, hum!
It is also unknown when Carl and Tully will complete their promotion on Dragon Island.
Although it feels like the castle is missing them, it makes no difference.
That's right
Last night, everyone made an appointment to buy ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and this guy Ron actually said that he didn't want to go, hum, how can this work! Tina gave him two punches and was willing to go.
Hey, hey, hey, I heard Vivian say that there is an unlimited amount of mango pudding tonight, and Tina must eat more today.
Anyway, that's all for now, and I hope tomorrow will be a good day as well.
Closing the journal, Tina carefully placed it back in the drawer, then opened the circle again, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Perfect! That's all it takes.
In order to prevent a certain iridescent dragon from peeking, Tina worked diligently to learn several protective magic arrays in the inheritance.
Unbeknownst to her, these things were just as ornamental to Ron as ornaments.
"Tina, it's noon, haven't you gotten up yet? We're ready to go! ”
Carroll's voice came from downstairs.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Tina hurriedly buttoned her blouse, and by the way, put the underwear she had left aside last night in a wooden basket so that the costumer could wash it later.
"Don't worry about her, she learned to boxing at a young age, and it's okay!"
Ron's angry voice followed.
It seems that he still remembers those two punches of Tina yesterday.
"Okay then."
After a while, the sound of the castle gates slamming shut sounded, as if they had set off.
Tina panicked when she heard the sound of the door closing.
"Wait! Wait Tina, I'm coming down! ”
"We're gone, Tina the Lazy Worm is at home by herself—"
Ron's gloating voice came from the outside of the castle.
Good guys, running so fast?
Tina gritted her silver teeth and swore that she would bite the big color dragon that deliberately didn't wait for her until it was bald today.
She hurriedly put on her snowy fluff boots with one hand, pushed the door open with the other, and ran downstairs as she shouted.
"Knock Knock"
The sound of hurried descent of stairs echoed through the silence of the castle.
When Tina rushed to the first floor, she found that the image of the person she imagined going to the empty building did not appear.
Everyone was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking warm coffee and chatting, quietly waiting for Tina to come down.
"Tina, you're finally down."
"We've been calling you for a long time, why haven't you responded?"
Carol sat in the center of the couch and smiled and beckoned to Tina.
She was dressed in an ice-blue loose cotton robe today, with white calfskin boots on the soles of her feet, and her long silky blonde hair was tied back in a youthful ponytail.
"Good morning, Tina." X2
Vivien and Instant also stopped discussing the elven battle steps and greeted Tina with a smile.
They were both dressed in white and red fur robes today, and Vivien tied her long silver hair behind her back with a hairpin, and in an instant hid two furry beast ears in her hood.
If it weren't for the fact that the difference between their hair color and the beast's ears was too great, they would have looked like twin sisters.
Hermione, sitting in the corner, was holding a cup of freshly ground coffee.
She was staring intently at the swirl of coffee in her hand, and she didn't mean to speak at all.
Tina looked suspiciously at the chattering crowd in the living room, and then at the silent staircase.
A looming barrier of magical sound-absorbing space loomed at the top of the staircase.
Obviously, the sound of the door closing that I heard just now was made by this thing.
Tina instantly understood what was going on.
She shouted angrily, "Damn the Great Satyrosaurus! You're lying to Tina again! ”
The golden dragon girl rose to her feet and pounced on the rainbow dragon lying on the arm of the sofa.
"Hey, what are you doing, what are you doing!" Ron screamed in panic.
"Loosen your mouth, did you brush your teeth early in the morning? Why bite me? ”
He tried to break free of Tina's teeth clenching her tail.
"Is there anyone in charge, how can the righteous golden dragon also do this sneak attack?"
Ron watched helplessly as Tina bit her mouth and didn't let go, estimating that her tail was about to suffer again.
Tina bit the dragon's tail angrily and didn't let go, and kept muttering something in her mouth:
"Bastard, you dare to deceive a golden dragon, today Tina is going to carry out justice, see if I don't bite you to death!"
Everyone laughed at Ron and Tina's bickering.
This is already the daily plot of the castle every morning, and if this scene is missing in the morning, everyone will feel that something is missing.
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble." Vivien stepped forward and tried to persuade the two.
She knew that this quarrel would continue for some time if no one intervened—and Tina wouldn't give up easily when it came to justice.
Tina still held on to the pristosaur's tail, but she relaxed a little when she saw Vivien's presence.
She stopped muttering and gradually let go of her mouth.
Ron took the opportunity to break free from Tina's restraints and quickly dodged her attacks.
With a smug smile, he flew into the air, watching Tina wagging her tail as if defiant.
Tina stared at the iridescent dragon with some annoyance, but she knew she couldn't chase it now.
She stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, and then looked at the crowd and smiled embarrassedly.
"Alright, let's continue our journey!"
Tina said, echoing the laughter with a hint of playfulness.
"Okay."
"Let's go!"
With Tina's majestic slogan, the gates of the Castle of Justice slowly opened,
Everyone greeted the warm sunshine and cold wind and walked into the lively royal capital.
————————
Mina Business District is the largest trading area in the royal capital.
Here you can buy all the items you want - provided you are rich enough~
Approaching the New Year, the Mina business district is also particularly lively.
The cold air could not stop everyone's fiery hearts, and the entire shopping street was decorated with red and orange ribbons.
The signboards of various businesses are full of New Year's greetings.
Of course, the four big words of New Year's promotion are also indispensable for every merchant today~
"Take a look, the best forest pork—"
"Roast voles, three coppers on a skewer, five coppers on two strings, New Year's promotion!"
"Murphy's Apothecary, 50% off! Healing Elixirs, Insect Repellents, and the latest Power-Amplifying Potions are only sold at half price! ”
The streets are crowded with people, and the merchants are shouting their goods in front of the store, making the whole street seem more lively.
The group of people in the Castle of Justice walked in Mina Commercial Street, which was quite a bit of a feeling of visiting the supermarket for the New Year.
"Let me see, today's ingredient list."
"Carrots, shallots, rock mutton, deer spirit grass"
Vivien pulled out a long list of purchases from the ring-like storage ring, using her fingers to confirm the amount needed, one by one.
Today's Vivien wears a lovely silver-white fluffy round hat.
On top of her hat lay a rainbow dragon.
"Hmm~~~Ahh
Ron yawned lazily.
Recently, Ron has been teaching Vivian and others magic and practical combat practice every day, and he hasn't slept well.
He also taught them the elven warsteps he had stolen from Tyrande, a skill that greatly improved their ability to escape in battle.
After all
To be alive is to have everything.
"So, why do you have to let me come out, you can buy it yourself."
Ron yawned, leaned his head into the soft hat again, and complained in passing.
"It's rare for us to go out shopping together, Ron, don't you think it's a pity to be missing any?"
Carroll said with a grin as she held a bunch of marshmallows.
"Because we're a family~"
Vivien echoed with a smile.
Hermione nodded in agreement, but said something unexpected:
"A family should be neat and tidy."
Ron leaned back and laughed when he heard Hermione's words:
"Poof! Ahem, hemph, Hermione, who did you learn this from? ”
Ron amused Hermione's words.
But he quickly reflected in the puzzled eyes of the crowd - no one here knew the meaning of the meme.
"Well, nothing."
Ron coughed dryly a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said with a smile:
"You can't say that in the future, the implication is not very good."
"Okay."
Hermione nodded, keeping it in her mind.
"So, how about we go to Heaven East Street to buy the main ingredients first, and then go to West Street to find Miss Shirley to buy the rest of the seasoning?"
Vivien smiled and suggested after counting the items.
"Yes, yes!"
Tina was the first to raise her hand and pass.
For her, as long as everyone is together, no matter where she goes, it is a happy thing.
"I'm fine."
Carol licked the marshmallow lightly and said with a smile.
"I'm the same."
Moments and Hermione raised their hands together.
Immediately afterward, all eyes turned to Vivien, the hat on her head.
"What do you see me doing?"
Ron slumped lazily over Vivien's head.
But in the end, under the gaze of everyone, he had no choice but to raise his hand lightly in agreement.
"I don't care, I don't want to move my wings."
"Okay, let's go!"
Tina waved her little fist excitedly and rushed to the front.
"Slow down, slow down Tina."
Vivien chased after her, carefully holding her hat with her hands out.
Behind her, Hermione followed Vivien's shadow like a ghost.
Carol and Instant glanced at each other.
The two of them smiled and started running.
The crowd formed a beautiful scenery on the lively Paradise Street.
Each of them is very good looking, and each has a unique beauty.
Even when he was malnourished due to slave life and had a slight gray and yellow aura on his face, after recuperating for so long, he regained the unique wild demeanor of the ice wolf girl.
Her eyes reveal firmness and grace, and every movement exudes a sense of confidence and strength.
The crowd ran on the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
"It's nice to be young."
A middle-aged man with a shaved head put down the wooden box in his hand and looked at the group of running girls with some envy.
Back then, I used to run so carefree, but it's a pity
"Bang!"
Just when he lamented that time was getting old, a big hand slapped him on the back, hitting him and staggering forward.
"What? Are you starting to dislike your old lady now? ”
A strange woman with a tiger's back and a beard on her face looked at her young husband with a fierce look.
"How dare I, I'm just looking at it."
The middle-aged man scratched his head in embarrassment, and sneered at his wife, who was three heavyweights higher than him, so as not to slap him to death.
"That's pretty much it."
The strange woman looked at the backs of the group in the Castle of Justice, pursed her lips disdainfully, and wiped the oil stains on her forehead with a pink handkerchief.
"The old lady was also a flower at the beginning, and the people chasing me can line up from the left to the right of the Ibi Great Forest, Mosuo, don't be ignorant!"
"Yes, yes, yes"
The man awkwardly took the greasy handkerchief, and sweating profusely, hurriedly took out a new handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.
The strange beast head tattoo on his chest flashed by his movements, but no one noticed.
The two of them said as they walked in the opposite direction to Ron.
That's the direction of Paradise Street West Street.
