Chapter 16: Not Worth Mentioning
On the way back, Melina went to the Gatherers' Guild to book a calf, and by the way, she registered.
The man she entrusted with the task was a man named Cha. Leersde. The Gatherer of Benom.
After knowing that it was her commission, the strong man patted his chest and said that he would get her a tender cow to satisfy her hunger - in Maria's playful eyes of 'ouch, you are so charming', Melina did not change her face and resorted to a perfunctory plan to 'go home and take a bath' to solve the problem of asking her where she lived, and after Charlie left, quickly changed the delivery address to the hotel.
Then it's time to go to the hotel and order food.
I don't know what's going on in Hamlet, but the best restaurant here is actually the hotel with public toilets and bathhouses.
Oh my God.
After placing an order for a 'roast calf' at the inn, Melina gently scratched Maria's palm and motioned for her to pay under the gaze of the humorous and hated shopkeeper.
"I guess Soso told you?"
Maria opened her wallet and complained, "Why didn't that West Eight cub give you some cash to use first?" To use my money, this must be a conspiracy of Sogou! β
Seeing her so indignant, Melina was too embarrassed to say that she had already accepted the 50 gold lei fare.
Maybe there are some things that the sisters still don't know.
"Seventeen, Silver Leo, thank you for your patronage." The shopkeeper said slowly in a thick local accent.
"Well, you don't have to look for it."
Maria took out two gold lei and placed them on the table.
The innkeeper counted out three silver lei and slapped them on the table, and the dead fish eyes stared at Maria with little indifference.
The wordless gaze lasted for two to three seconds, and Maria put away the three silver lei.
The feeling of solidity in the air disappeared in a flash.
"Not much, huh?" Maria put away her purse.
"...," the innkeeper muttered, staring blankly at the countertop, "a lot of money." β
"We live in Hamlet Manor, the calf is delivered, you can send it when you are ready, and we will pay for the passage."
The innkeeper didn't reply, as if he were asleep.
After a second, he said, "If the entrusted collector has already gone out, it can be completed in an hour, and on my side, it can be completed in an hour." Probably. β
"Then it's hard for you, uncle."
Maria waved her hand and walked out the door.
β¦
Melina asked curiously:
"Did Senpai get up in two hours?"
"Probably."
"What does it mean?"
"Well, let's put it this way, Suo Suo has the same characteristics as the green tea sister who didn't return all night when she asked her roommate to order for her in the big class when she was in college."
"You mean at least until the afternoon?"
"Almost." Maria thought for a moment and said, "But when you come, she thinks that your life will be better, maybe something will change." For example, to conquer the most primitive instinct of human beings, the instinct to lie in bed. β
Melina can only hope that the senior sister will show a little backbone.
If you talk about saving the world, you wake up at 6 p.m. every day, you can't wait to take a bath, take a bath, have a little bourgeois-style tea party, and finally look at the time before you can do it tomorrow.
I'm afraid it's going to be looked down upon.
Wish...
A little bit of perseverance.
β¦
After crossing the road that barely counts as a street in East Hamlet, we returned to the manor.
As soon as she entered the door, Melina saw Sonia-senpai with her eyes closed, but her body instinctively doing sit-ups.
The noise of the door woke her up, and she opened her eyes, yawned, and smiled a little fragile at the sight that it was Melina and Maria, and got up from her sweat-soaked exercise mat. Pick up a towel and wipe your body and face. She was wearing a yoga vest and high-waisted yoga pants, revealing some muscular outlines on both her forearms and abdomen.
She gasped slightly, then smiled brightly:
"Got your gear ordered?"
"It's booked. It's really rare, did you get up so early to show Amei? Maria smiled, but spoke darkly.
"That's right!" Sonia admitted this dignifiedly, "Old Ma, I don't have your system to hang, I can't do my daily routine every day to ensure that my state does not decline, or to ensure that I feel that there is a learning progress bar to give me feedback every day." β
She raised her index finger: "There are many reasons why you can't keep exercising and studying, but the most important thing is that you can't get feedback!" β
"Then it gives me a sense of feedback when I look at it? Senpai. Melina exhaled slowly.
She doesn't know what to say, this is also a kind of, uh, a kind of two days of fishing and three days of drying nets?
Sonia's eyes widened and she smiled brightly: "Yes! β
She was categorical and did not hesitate at all:
"The two of you, one has a historical-level talent and the other has a system hanging, so you don't have a certain understanding of the nature of this world. That is, the world itself is a world composed of magic factors, and the magic factor is the soul, 'Tamahi' in Japanese, and 'Sode' in English. Therefore, it is a world in which metaphysics and will can change most of the existing reality. β
She pointed to Melina:
"If some of Melina's magic factors recognize me as a hard-working person, then I will get more promotion than if I had been practicing hard for two weeks alone. When she moved in, so did her magic factor, so I can train now with a tenfold effect! β
Can it still be like this? Melina's eyes widened.
Maria couldn't be better.
She blinked her big silver eyes in surprise, racked her brains, and said, "But you have wasted more than 10 days, we came here 10 days ago, and you have been lazy during that time." 10 times the effect can't be made up..."
"Stupid! Old Ma, old Ma, why are you so axial? β
Sonia tilted her head, put one hand on her forehead, and said in an aria tone:
"Gaining the results of your training is like emptying the health bar of an enemy who has the familiar fixed damage reduction and the like, I ask you! Is it 100 damage hits at a time that is high for enemies with fixed damage reductions, or is it 10 times that deals 10 damage more damage to enemies with fixed damage reductions? Go without saying! Ahahahaha! β
Maria took off her shoes and threw them over: "I can't kill you, Sao Bao!" β
Melina was wondering why Maria wanted to reward Sister Suo.
Could it be that you're also lyketo?
Hmm, not necessarily, my LΓΌketone radar is not responding...... Melina was a little relieved.
β¦
Breakfast consisted of bread and fried eggs stored in Hamlet Manor - Old Mar took matters into her own hands, claiming to be the egg dead, and could hold four eggs in one hand and break them one by one through Brownian motion, and fry them into four poached eggs.
"Old Ma, you're doing a good job of eggs."
Sonia said in a sincere, yin and yang tone, with golden eggs on top of her bread.
Melina looked at Sonia's long legs under the table.
It's not that long legs are good-looking.
It's not that this long legs in yoga pants are good-looking.
She's a straight daughter!
It's because the senior sister is stepping on a spinning bike made of brass gears. While talking about a nutritious breakfast of whole grains, while the Hot Wheels were flying under her feet, Melina was afraid that her senior sister would lose weight.
"As for it?" She asked.
"My food." The senior sister replied, "You have to practice more dishes." Oh! Is there too much salt in this egg? β
"It's good to eat some." With a dark face, Lao Ma stepped out of the clean open kitchen, and the magic factor took the object through the air and put the garbage into the garbage bag.
"Three points, Stephen from Hamlet Town University. Lao Ma. Curry. "Sonia never loses her energy.
Maria sat down and said, "Bear with me, there will be roast veals to eat in two hours." β
"Perfect, we went out for some exercise at noon after dinner."
Sonia beckoned, retrieved an ancient and delicate hand-drawn map, and gently placed it in the middle of the dining table, "Disula!" "Controlling the magic factor through spells is also a genre.
This spell causes the map to sink into the table, and in the next second, the entire surface of the table becomes an enlarged map.
"Map of the Hamlet Neighborhood Perimeter." Sonia panted and said, "Hamlet Town will lose about seventy-five percent of its floating population in two months, and guess why?" β
Maria frowned, "Because there are dragons attacking Hamlet Town?" β
"Wrong!"
"Because of an earthquake or something?"
"Wrong! If you think about it, why do people come to this town? β
Melina looked at the map and noticed the "One Route" in the Outer Lands, a channel that completely connected Innsmouth, Haven, and the archipelago nation of "Elayah" at the heart of the ocean about 9,400 nautical miles away. In this world, sea lanes are very important, because mountains are not only found on the main road, but also in the sea, and there are often sea labyrinths formed by high mountains breaking through the sea.
The main role of the wild land of the Weeping Peninsula is to unload and replenish goods.
Then, its traffic basically comes from these needs, and even the collectors are born because of these needs...
"The Wailing Peninsula waterway is blocked?" Melina voiced her guess.
Slap - Sonia applauded: "Xiaomei is right. Passage, two months later, a rare sea erosion dragon will appear on the lifeline of the Weeping Peninsula, this elusive blue dragon destroys the channel and frantically forages for food in the vicinity. And the dragon must have arrived near the town of Hamlet on the Weeping Peninsula. β
Sonia smiled and said:
"Find it, kill it."
Melina thought for a moment, "It's rare, it's already a rare species. β
"Even if it's the world's last sea dragon, we're going to kill it." Sonia showed disdain for nature, "Nature's regrets are nothing compared to the decline of Hamlet. Only by keeping the town of Hamlet can we keep the Weeping Peninsula, we can keep Innsmouth and Haven, and if we protect Haven, this country will not lose 10 million or 20 million people because of a certain ocean dragon. β
Sonia raised her left hand and put her fingers together:
"I don't know those people, but doing these things without playing with my life makes me feel like I'm a fucking noble person."
Maria pointed at her with a fork:
"Oh, moral saint."
"It's not that good." Sonia laughed as if Maria was really boasting about herself, and her thick skin was full of yes.
The corners of Melina's mouth twitched, and she nodded in agreement:
"It makes me very happy to think that we can still retain a part of our conscience."
"I want to play a perfect ending and mess with you." Sonia vows, "I am the thunderbolt, I am the Savior, and 'my name is like a talisman to those who encounter demons.'" β
