Chapter 36 Sending Letters

Jia Yi walked along the street, observing the city, and Xiaoqing behind him followed step by step, docile and well-behaved.

The city is slightly smaller than Wickham, but it is just as prosperous, or more prosperous. Probably in the traffic rush, the business here is very prosperous, and there are many kinds of goods. And you can see many people pushing goods in carts, as if everyone is a businessman.

Jiayi came to the front of a shop with a six-pointed star carved on its forehead and a pair of transmission runes on its shoulders, indicating that the store was carrying on the mage's letters. The transmission rune can transmit sound to the opponent's rune, but the range is very small, and the influence of the terrain is also very large. In the plains, it can transmit a distance of about 6 or 7 kilometers, and if the person who designed the rune is of high skill and uses it properly, it can even reach a distance of 10 kilometers, but in the mountains, even the most outstanding mage cannot make the transmission rune communicate more than 1500 meters.

This distance makes the use of transmission runes very limited, and most of them are only used by mages in teams. The use of transmission runes to represent the transmission of letters between mages probably represents a good wish, hoping that one day the transmission distance of transmission runes will be broken through, and communication can be carried out over long distances.

Kaichi pushed the door in, and a bell on the door was touched by the door and began to tinkle.

"Hello!" a clever girl came over to say hello, as if seeing that Jiayi was too young, although she didn't say it in her mouth, but her eyes accurately expressed a meaningβ€”who are you? What are you doing here? Are you going the wrong way?

It's the first time that Jia Yi can read so many meanings from one look, it's not that Jia Yi is sensitive, it's really that the other party's eyes are really expressive.

Jia Yi pulled out a mage badge, which he had registered after becoming an official mage, and the badge recorded Jia Yi's basic information, as well as the papers he had published. If the paper is cited by others, there will be points, but Kaichi has not officially reported to the council, so the points are 0 for the time being.

The girl knew that she had misunderstood, so she stuck out her tongue lightly and said, "Hello, mage, I'm Ace, may I ask what can serve you!"

It seems that it wasn't her who spoke with her eyes just now, Jia Yi looked over, no, her eyes were still talking, saying that it wasn't me just now, not me, not me.

If this is a man, Jia Yi will definitely not give a good face, but a cute girl, he won't blame her for this little thing, should he be magnanimous.

"My name is Kaichi, is there a quiet room here? I'm going to write a letter and send it out. By the way, I will prepare a little special snack here. Also, the cow outside is my mount, so I'm going to take it with me to feed some concentrate. ”

"This way, please. Ace took Kaichi to a small room, and customers always had various needs, so this kind of vacant small room for guests was not uncommon in larger stores.

Kaichi popped out a gold coin: "Please prepare me a few more pieces of parchment." ”

With that, he sat down and took out his pen and ink. In front of the cute girl, he unconsciously began to pretend to be 13, but the gesture of popping up the gold coin was full of nouveau riche meaning, but he himself felt very handsome.

Ace brought a small plate of parchment to Kaichi and went out to buy him snacks.

Parchment paper is not the same as sheepskin, although both are made of sheepskin, but leather is the product of changing the fiber structure in the original leather by tanning. The first step of parchment paper is to remove grease and hair by lime water, etc., but the next step is not tanned, but it is stretched directly with a frame, thinned with a knife, and dried. The result is a parchment paper that is light and durable, smooth on both sides, and full of color. Except for the color and taste, and the fact that it is relatively heavy and expensive, there are no disadvantages.

But these shortcomings are already quite numerous.

However, if it is used as magic paper, it can be made using the leather of Warcraft, which is more suitable. In recent years, because leather paper is too expensive, new technologies have been developed to divide the leather into multiple layers, making the leather thinner and making more paper. The most skilled craftsmen can separate eight or nine layers of leather, one into eight.

Jia Yi dipped in water and began to write a letter to his teacher, although he mainly wrote about his own experience of the war, and at the same time introduced what he had seen and heard on the road, but there was a news revealed between the lines - this time the other party is very many, especially dangerous, almost died, teacher, you have to call the shots for me.

In the past, when I read novels, it was the protagonist's opponent who went to the backstage to support himself, but this time Jia Yi experienced the treatment of the villain, and he just wanted to say that it was so cool to have someone to support him.

Jia Yi was scribbling a book, and Ace came back with a food box.

She put the food in the box in front of Jia Yi: "Master Jia Yi, this is fried small whitebait with pea yellow, the small whitebait is fried and stewed with peeled peas, crispy and boneless, and sage sauce dipped in fish pieces, long cod is cut into pieces to remove the thorns and cooked, drizzled with sage and rosemary milk puree and other sauces, tender and delicious." And your cattle are also settled, and are in the stable, using the best concentrate. ”

After the introduction of the food, Ace said, "You can pull this rope if you need it, I'll be outside, if there's nothing to do, I'll go out first." ”

"Okay. ”

After Ace went out, Kaichi stopped his pen and stretched, took out a pair of chopsticks, and began to try the snacks here. The fried small whitebait is indeed crispy and boneless, but Jia Yi thinks that he is a little old when fried, and the fish can't chew anymore, although it has been stewed again, but it has lost the original umami of the fish. However, the second dish is very appetizing, the long cod is tender and tender, and the fruit in the sauce tastes sour, with spices, it is sweet and sour, and it is a bit like a salad dressing, with cooked fish pieces just right, to remove the fishy flavor.

However, Jiayi felt that it should be better if it was steamed, and the umami of the cooked fish pieces was insufficient. Probably because there is no tradition of steaming here, so it is boiled.

From these two dishes, it can be seen that the level of food here is much higher than that of the province of Verfel, and it may be because it is a major transportation artery, and the ships that come and go bring different kinds of cooking techniques and dishes from all over the world, so the food and beverage level here is so good.

Jia Yi wrote a letter and ate at the same time, and at the same time made up a review, thanks to the tempered tongue, his sense of taste is very sensitive, even if he goes out to cos a gourmet, there is no problem at all. As long as he wanted to, he could easily tell what seasonings were in the dish, and of course there was no way to do anything if he hadn't seen the seasonings.

After the letter was written, and the food was almost eaten, Jia Yi put the envelope number, marked his mage mark, and rang the bell to call Ace. When she comes, give her the letter. The Mage's Mark ensures that his letters are not peeked at by others, even if they are mages, but they are still flawed and can be cracked, more on that later.

"How do you charge for your letters here?" asked Kaichi.

Ace took the letter with both hands: "Generally, it is transported with our chamber of commerce, and the time will be relatively long, if our chamber of commerce does not take that route, we will contact other chambers of commerce to bring it to pass." There is also a special delivery, to ensure that it will be delivered, if it cannot be delivered, it will return to confirm, and to ensure the security of the letter, which is very expensive, and it takes a standard magic stone to pass it once. ”

"So much for a standard magic stone?"

"Yes, we will send someone to deliver letters, this business is only available to our chamber of commerce in the city for the time being, this cost is very huge, so there is no way to be expensive. ”

"Forget it, let's go first. Originally, Jiayi wanted to send a letter to his teacher as soon as possible, so that they could find out who was behind the scenes as soon as possible, but the price was too expensive, and he didn't think it was worth it. Because now that he has left the province of Vyfer and left the territory of the nobles who are malicious to Jiayi, the nobles who don't like Jiayi can no longer affect Jiayi, so he thought about it for a while, and he was not in a hurry.
