The days are longer than the nights in the City of Light, and the orange sunset will take a long time to set.

In the setting sun, the cute shape of a small pineapple hard candy is far less enticing than a strawberry cake topped with a flat cream top.

The light of the setting sun is warm, like a sugar-like coat for a strawberry cake.

And the moment the strawberry cake is taken out, there is a creamy and silky sweetness in the air, as well as the special sweet aroma of high-sweetness pineapple candy.

Salph looked down at the cake in Ryan's hand, unconsciously pursed his lips slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hughes, what is the price of your sugar and dessert?" ”

Ryan: "It's not expensive, twenty gold coins." ”

Hearing Ryan's words, he could see that the expression on Solf's face seemed to be relieved, he reached out and touched the space ring, and simply took out forty gold coins, "Dear Mr. Theseus, can I use these forty gold coins to buy your desserts and sugar?" ”

Although Solf was a little distressed when he took out the 40 gold coins at one time, he didn't know what these things tasted like, but just from the smell, it should taste very good.

Ryan used his mental power to hand over the small cake and sugar, took the gold coin, and put it into his spatial ring.

The delicate appearance of the small cake and the aroma of the cream attracted some people's attention, but no one dared to approach rashly, so Salph put the small cake into the space ring, gently held the weathered paper crane in his right hand, and whispered to Ryan: "Dear Mr. Theseus, I will go to you when I receive the reward." ”

Ryan replied indifferently, and turned to walk towards the most prosperous part of the City of Light.

Seeing Ryan's back in the distance, Salph walked to the palace with the bounty hall, and was taken by the knight to another ornate room, where he met Padraic who had come first.

Padraic sat in the most ornate chair in the room, with a clean desk in front of him, and he changed into a more holy mage robe, and a transparent crystal ball hung over the table, and the picture in the ball was where Salph and Ryan had just communicated.

Salph was brought to Padraic by the knight, and he greeted with a trembling voice, "Your Royal Highness Padraik." ”

"Don't be nervous, don't call me by that name, Solf, what did you and the mysterious merchant say?"

Padraic looked away from the crystal ball and looked at Salph with a holy and affectionate smile, "Tell me everything you did when you met him, every word he said, and every action and tone of his voice, and don't hide anything." ”

"He claimed to be a merchant from the Windy City and caught the City of Light wanted criminal in the Sunset Lands, I don't have any memory of that criminal, but the criminal does have a wanted mark on his wrist......"

Salph told Padraic everything in detail about the situation when he met Ryan, and finally cautiously guessed, "But judging from his actions of actively revealing the identity of the mysterious merchant, I guess that his identity as a senior merchant in the Windy City should still be hidden." ”

"You don't need to say this, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, since he calls himself a high-ranking merchant from the Windy City, then he is. Since the person who was caught has a wanted mark on his wrist, he is the target of the City of Light, and there are some things you don't need to know too well. ”

Padraic jawed, "Give me what you just got." ”

Salph hurriedly offered strawberry cake and pineapple candy.

The light condensed into a hand and sent a small cake held by white leaves and golden pineapple candy to Padraric.

Padraic looked at the small cake in front of him, stretched out his right hand to gently hold the strawberry on it, and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" ”

None of the knights had ever seen it, and Solf shook his head, "I don't know, it's the first time I've seen this bright red fruit, and this should be the merchant's sale." ”

Padraic hummed softly and brought the strawberry to his mouth.

Although it was the first time he had seen the fruit, everyone in this room knew Padraic's personality, and no one dared to stop him.

Padraic took a bite of the creamed strawberry, closed his eyes slightly, chewed it slightly, swallowed, and whispered to himself, "It tastes good, it's a rare and rare fruit." ”

Whether it is the sweetness of the strawberry itself or the creamy texture, it is very much in line with Padrak's sweet tooth.

After eating the strawberry, the chief knight immediately bent down and handed over a half-wet handkerchief.

Padraic wiped a little cream off his hands with a handkerchief, then pulled a small golden fork from the spatial ring.

Cut down the strawberries until they were lowered, and the middle layer of the filling was a fragrant red strawberry jam, and Padraic gracefully held the leaves with his left hand, and ate a small piece of cake with strawberry jam and cream in his right hand.

Sweets are a pleasure to eat, especially for the first time.

With amazement in his eyes, Padraic slowly ate the cake bit by bit, then put down the fork and whispered to himself again, "If you match it with exquisite tableware and arrange the shape more beautifully, it will be a wonderful aristocratic dessert." ”

Salf looked up, and the knight's eyes under the helmet next to him were also slightly surprised.

As the duke's son, Padraic can be said to have eaten countless precious delicacies, but this dessert has won his rare sincere praise.

After eating the strawberry cake, Padraic took out a clear glass of water and drank the taste of the cake in his mouth, after which he picked up a pineapple candy.

The shape of the pineapple candy is a miniature version of the pineapple, and the mold is slightly shaped like the Q version, without those thorns, and it looks very tasty.

Padraic pinched the pineapple candy in his hand, the high concentration of sugar was a little sticky even if it didn't melt, Padraic turned to the knight and asked, "Have you ever seen this fruit?" ”

All the knights shook their heads at the same time, "No, Lord Padraic. ”

"It's not just this weird-looking candy."

The chief knight replied in a low voice, "The red fruit just now, and the dessert that you praised, these are things that are not found in the City of Wind and the City of Light, and I have never heard of them. ”

"Well, perhaps, it's a gift from the world of nothingness."

Padraic hummed softly and put the pineapple candy he had pinched in his fingertips into his mouth.

Sugar meets mouth, pineapple candy is much sweeter than strawberry cake, and Padraic still likes the silky texture of strawberry cake, but he doesn't hate pineapple candy.

Padraic exclaimed, "It's a nice thing, but it's also too shabby, and it's a casual mystery merchant." ”

The hard candy in his mouth didn't melt so easily for a while, so Padraic used his magic, and after the sugar melted in his mouth, Padraic drank another glass of water, looked at Salph quietly and held out his hand, "I have prepared the reward for the bounty, give me the magic bird that can find the merchant." ”

Solf released his palm and used his mental power to send the wind-swept bird to Padraic.

Padraic grabbed the bird and whispered to Salph, "You did a good job today, go with the Knight Captain to receive the reward you deserve." ”

Salph swallowed his Adam's apple and said hello in fear and panic.

When the chief knight took Salf away, Padraic took off the petals from his sleeve, held the crane in his hand, and turned to the remaining knights, "Don't follow me, go and seal everything that happened today, and especially not let anyone know about the existence of the mysterious merchant." ”

He decides to go and deliver Ryan himself with a wanted reward for capturing a fugitive.

The author has something to say: Ryan: "I'm a good person, and the void is so good to me. ”

Chapter 160

The half-light gold and half-orange sun seem to be embracing, the crimson clouds are like the tide waves on the sea, hidden in the clouds and the moon waiting to fall, the city of light sky at dusk is beautiful and dreamy, a little more gentle than the bright and holy daytime.

The birds of light shuttled through the city of light in flocks of light, holding tail feathers longer than their bodies, and countless white feathers fluttered in the air without falling to the ground, as if they were supported by holy light.

Dressed in a layered cloak, not bloated, with a breezy staff floating at his side, Ryan walked in the most lively shopping street in the City of Light facing the sunset, with a stream of people, residents of the City of Light and adventurers and merchants from outside, flanked by white fences with intermittent distances, and fresh vines entwined around them.

The floor of the City of Light is made of special materials, and a magical barrier is attached, so it won't get dirty even if many people pass by. Every distance Ryan walked, he could see a statue of an angel in a different form, and the shape of the statue and the number of wings on its back determined the status of the people who lived and did business in this area in the City of Light, and also determined the transactions that could be made in this place.

The area with fewer angel wings is slightly poorer, but more lively, and the people living in the area with more statue wings are more status, and the flow of people is much less, and the class division is particularly obvious.

At the foot of each angel statue, there is a white vine flower in full bloom wantonly and casually.

In addition, there are full-time staff who will record the number of light birds that will naturally stop on each statue that day.

On the second day, the street where the Bird of Light had the largest number of angel statues stopped the day before, and those who did business and lived in that street would receive tax relief, a rain of silver coins from the sky, or a variety of random gifts from the nobles, including Padraic, to the commoners.

Even if the raw materials are of high quality, the strawberry cake and pineapple candy are net profits of at least 30 gold coins after removing the principal.

Ryan Krypton ten gold coins, while listening to the introduction of the system, while secretly observing the nearby shops and streets.

Where he was in a street with a statue of an adult two-winged angel, and in front of him was a city river with clear water and many white swimming fish.

On the other side of the river is a street with a statue of a seraphim, and farther on the left at the palace of the main city, where there is an extremely striking statue of the eight-winged holy archangel, which is also the place where Sékira's angelic friend was interned, guarded by many soldiers, and some extremely hidden magical enchantments, which can be troublesome to break in and leave.

To avoid revealing his true goal, he glanced at the street where the eight-winged angel statue was located and then retracted his gaze, using the Void Evidence to make a mark, but unfortunately he couldn't teleport directly into it. After learning about some of the useful information about the City of Light, Ryan pursed his lips slightly, looked at a magic shop in front of him, and asked in a low voice in his head: "Commander, are the residents of the City of Light, or the City of Light, rich?" ”

Among the merchants and professionals who passed by, Ryan also saw some of them with Lebaye's markings, and he looked sideways at the street with the Seraphim statue to guess where Orn's shop was.

The inhabitants of the City of Light seem to have uniformed their white clothes, and although the magic costume shops sell other colors of fabrics and ready-to-wear, they are all goods sold to foreign merchants and travelers, and it is easy to distinguish between the locals of the City of Light and the people from the outer city.

It's just that Ryan didn't see and find that there is anything easy to get rich in the City of Light, except that there are many birds in the sky, but those birds of light are forbidden to be fished.

But maybe you can open a meat food shop, focusing on birds and monsters that can be grilled.

Since the people of the City of Light like birds so much, they will definitely like to eat bird meat too, even if they don't love it now, they will definitely love it later, and Ryan is confident enough to feel that this plan will definitely be successful. It's a pity that he doesn't have a store in the City of Light, and the next time he goes to the City of Fire, he will have to discuss it with Orn.

"It's not that there is money, the consumption and prices in all the main cities are actually about the same."

System: "It's the nobles who come to make money quickly, and the nobles of the City of Light, under the leadership of Padraic, are more 'kind' and give more gifts, so the residents seem to be rich." ”

System: "Although the City of Light is more expensive than other cities in some items, there are also cheaper items. Salph is willing to spend forty gold coins to buy your dessert and pineapple candy, because both of them are Padraic's favorite things, and most of Salf's wealth comes from Padraic's bounty. ”

"Got it."

Ryan instantly comprehended another meaning of the system's words: "Because Solf provoked me in the first place, and then made Padraic say those words, from a certain point of view, Solf is the source of Padraik's disgrace in front of the knights today, so Solf is ready to take my things to curry favor with his master?" ”

Ryan: "But I'm the real cause of Padraik's disgrace, and he's not afraid to be self-defeating?" It was just a strawberry cake and a few four pineapple candies. ”

"No, it won't." System: "Padraic is 'kind', he doesn't get angry over such a small thing, on the contrary he is happy and gives Solf a chance to choose. ”

Ryan's eyebrows under his cloak raised slightly, "What chance?" ”

"Padraic divides people into many categories, he likes to collect the strong and sympathize with the weak. Salf belonged to servants in his eyes, and servants were the lowest of these classifications. I'm going to apologize for him and you today, because Salph is a servant of the Padraic family. ”

The system's tone was flat, "Padraic has given Solf a choice, and if he can take the chance, Solf can get rid of his status as a servant." If he doesn't have the means, Padraic will give him a fortune or grant him a wish because of you. ”

Ryan: "Because of me? ”

"Yes."

System: "You're from the Void, he's never been to the Void, and with the pineapple candy and strawberry cake that Salf just offered, you're already in the category of a very high level in his eyes......

As I've just said, Padraic likes to collect the strong—"

The system said tactfully, "Padraic wants you to be one of his collections. ”

Ryan's eyes drooped slightly, and his tone was cold, "This man is really kind, but it's a pity that he can't afford to pay the price of collecting me." ”

Wait, wait-

Ryan: "Tong, can he give me 110,000 gold coins?" ”

"Maybe?"

System: "Are you intrigued?" ”

Ryan: "......"

To tell the truth, when a collection is a collection, you will get 110,000 gold coins.

"Nope."

Ryan replied in a firm tone, and then asked in a low voice, "What is he going to do when he collects them?" ”

System: "Lead the eagle and walk the dog, for people to watch, fight when you should fight, say it, and be treated as a commodity, participate in the duel you talked about before." ”

Ryan: "As a dignified lord, I decided to stay away from this kind of person, whose kindness is incompatible with me. ”
