"Take a bath, take a bath, take a bath......" Qi Ruier came out of the bathroom humming a small tune, wiping her head with a dry towel: "Whew, it's so comfortable to take a shower after the rain." Is Linda still sleeping, and she's hungry, go get her something to eat. ”

When I came to Linda's room, she was sleeping lightly with a soft quilt.

"Linda Linda Linda. Cirille seemed to be in a good mood, and spoke much more briskly.

Linda opened her eyes, "Well, is Darling back?".

Qi Ruier said while tying the buttons on her skirt pocket, "Not yet, I asked you to eat." ”

"What time is it? ”

"It's past lunchtime, I'm a little hungry. Qi Ruier said: "Get up, the sky is already clear, accompany me to eat outside." ”

Linda sat up from the bed and eased up for a while: "Going out to eat?"

"Hmm. Qi Ruier said: "The two fat men are not at home, do you still want to make your own food?"

"Okay, let me get dressed. ”

After changing her clothes and going out, Linda asked, "Where to go?"

Qi Ruier thought for a moment, "Let's go back to the open-air restaurant, it's raining today, and the atmosphere there must be good." ”

Linda smiled: "You're quite picky, let's go." ”

The two strolled down the street, and behind them, a rickety figure watched them from afar.

"Higride Sanddon Kirill. Merlin half-squinted: "Who is the girl next to her?" Oh, such a beautiful girl, what a rare work of art, hehehehe......

The King Beast District is like a separate area in the entire Warcraft Market, and all aspects inside are much better than those outside. There are also a lot of people who come here to choose, one is that there are more rich people in the royal capital, and second, even if they can't afford it, the mercenaries and citizens also want to come here to take a look, feast their eyes and increase their experience.

"Quite a lot of people. Ying looked at the endless stream of people around him, not only adults, but also students, some of whom even sketched here with sketchpads.

The layout of the king beast area is different from that of the outer area, where the cages are regularly arranged in two rows and one column, separated into a square area, and customers shuttle through the road between the cages to pick and buy. The king beast area is not so regular and rigidly arranged, and it is not those big iron cages that trap the monsters. In fact, it's more like a monster park (zoo), where each monster has its own large area isolated, and they have a certain amount of freedom to move around, while customers can safely observe them on the ground.

"Well, there are quite a few king beasts here. Shadow looked over as he walked, and in every underground cage, there was a valuable king beast trapped in it.

"Look at it, look over there. A child called out to his companion.

The shouts of others attracted Shadow's attention, and he walked over, only to see that the monster in the underground garden was half a golden lion and half a black goat, with angry horns on its head, a cyan python on its tail, and a pair of purple wings on its face.

"Wow, what kind of monster is this?"

"I haven't seen it. ”

"It looks so powerful, so powerful. ”

The alien monster roared at the people above under the cage, and a strong sound came through the weak soundproof barrier, so frightened that the faces of the gossiping children changed, and they fell to the ground and shivered.

Shadow narrowed his eyes: "This magical beast is, the two-headed purple-winged Chimera." I didn't expect to see such a rare magical beast, which was quite a surprise. ”

At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of onlookers, and it turned out that the administrator of the market posted the price sold by the Warcraft sellers: 'The two-headed Chimera has a reserve price of 5.5 million, and there is no upper limit for bidding. ’

Seeing this price, many people who wanted to buy it retreated. ...,

A man with a big axe on his back looked at the price and nodded: "5.5 million? If there is really someone you like, it is worth adding a few million." ”

Ying looked at the back of the man in front of him and shook his head, muttering in his mouth: "There are so many rich people who come to the royal capital." ”

At this moment, a familiar laugh voice passed by Ei, and Ei looked back, "Well, isn't that person Amy? ”

Amy is the intern nurse who sent Ying to the hospital, although she has only met once, and she still remembers it after so many days.

Amy held her father in her hand and patted her heart and said, "Dad, Chimera is so expensive, does a magical beast cost so much money?"

Aiden smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to us whether it's expensive or not, we're just watching the fun." ”

Amy was still a little shocked: "5.5 million, I can't make that much money in my life." ”

"If it is a double-headed wingless Chimera, the price will be cheaper, the double-headed Purple Winged Chimera is already a top-level king beast, and this price is not particularly expensive. Aiden explained.

"It's not expensive, Daddy?" said Amy, holding her head with a headache.

Aiden smiled, "So Amy, let's go outside, the King Beast District is not the place we should be." ”

Amy pulled her father and said, "What's the matter, let's take a look at it again, I've already come in, so I should come to play." I also want to see what these Shijie top Warcraft are ......"

"Hi, Nurse Amy. Shadow beckoned and walked over to her.

"Hey, it's you. Amy was a little surprised.

Ying smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, this uncle is your father." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Hello uncle. Ying Yu greeted politely.

But Aiden looked at the shadow with a different expression: "This ...... The guy is ......" instantly remembered the young man who talked to Hou Yanlong at his employer's house in Hohenheim's house.

"Hmm, uncle, what's wrong with you?" asked Shadow suspiciously.

"Huh?" Aiden came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, I suddenly thought of something distracting." Amy, do you know each other? Of course, he knew that the white-haired boy would not be Amy's classmate, but he still pretended to ask.

"No, I was Miss Amy's patient, and my name is Celeste Shadow. Ying still spoke very politely, as if he was a young son of a noble family.

"Oh. Aiden nodded, and said in his heart: "It seems that he doesn't seem to recognize me, but how can he know Amy." This person ......"

Amy was pleasantly surprised, "Are you here to pick a guard?"

Shadow smiled and said, "I'm just wandering around, I don't have anything to come in and have a look." ”

Amy got angry and said, "Hmph, you left the hospital without saying hello to me that day, and I still ...... Also worried about your condition. ”

"Ah, I left that day because I had an urgent matter, and I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you. ”

"It turns out that there is something, so forget it. Amy smiled: "Since we happened to meet, let's take a look." I accompanied my dad here to buy Warcraft, and my father's guardian died suddenly a few days ago, and I happened to be free today, so I came to the Warcraft Market to see. But the Warcraft here is really expensive, I just saw a Warcraft called Chimera over there and it actually costs 5.5 million gold coins, which is still the reserve price of the auction. ”

In the face of Amy's chatter, Shadow just smiled in return, and waited until she finished before saying, "Well, let's go shopping together." ”

Of course, there are rare magical beasts like the two-headed purple-winged Chimera in the king beast area, but there are more common king beasts like the killing lion-faced beast and the frost-toothed leopard, and the king beasts like this are not very expensive, generally around three and a half million, eight or nine hundred thousand.

Ying accompanied them to see the fire turtle of Juyan, the golden-winged Dapeng bird and other magical beasts, and Aiden suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot the time when I was strolling, and it was past lunch time now." ”...,

"Ah, yes, Dad, you don't say that I forgot about it, it's all too forgetful. Amy asked, "Ei, have you had lunch?"

Shadow shook his head, "I forgot about it too." ”

Amy clapped her hands and laughed, "That's right, let's go together." ”

"Hmm. Shadow nodded in agreement.

Aiden originally wanted to use the matter of eating to get rid of the shadow, he really didn't want his daughter to stay with this boy in danger, but he didn't expect Amy to take the initiative to invite the other party to eat together, and the other party just didn't eat.

Outside the Warcraft Market, an ordinary restaurant, coming here to eat is already a relatively wasteful consumption for them. Seeing that his daughter was so enthusiastic about this friend, Aiden also had to order a few good dishes, but fortunately, he was here to buy Warcraft and brought a lot of money with him.

Seeing her father so generous, Amy was very happy: "Let's go to the Warcraft Market in a while, and you can also help my father pick and see what Warcraft is better." ”

Shadow said: "Okay, anyway, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. ”

"Don't you have to go to school in the afternoon?". Amy's father asked.

"I don't study anymore and now I'm working outside. ”

"Huh. Amy wondered, "Didn't your classmate hurt you last time?"

"Ahh Ying smiled: "That's a former classmate." ”

"I don't have to study anymore, you still have to study more at your age. Amy now works as a nurse in the hospital, also half-working and half-studying. Aiden deliberately pretended to be quite concerned about this, hoping to distance Amy from him.

"What my uncle said is that in fact, I also want to study very hard, but my family conditions do not allow it, and I want to wait until I have saved enough money for work to study. Shadow had a smile on her face, and she didn't hesitate or feel uneasy about lying. This sentence immediately changed him from a dropout teenager to a hard-working young man.

Amy exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to be so able to endure hardship, I believe you will be able to save enough money to study again." ”

Aiden added, "It doesn't look like your accent is local. ”

Ying said: "I immigrated from other places, and now I live in the royal capital temporarily. ”

"Your parents are here, too?"

Shadow nodded, "Yes." ”

"Dad, don't ask that. Amy was dissatisfied: "Why do you ask these things as soon as you meet." ”

"Okay, I won't ask, you talk. ”

Amy said while eating food: "I walked around the king beast area for a long time in the morning, those king beasts are so expensive, the cheap ones are hundreds of thousands, and the cheapest fire turtle is 140,000. Alas, it's so expensive, I really envy those mercenaries who have strength and strong protection. ”

Ying said: "It's not very difficult to earn 140,000 yuan as a mercenary, I often hear people in the tavern talk about how they accept tasks to make money. Uncle should also be a mercenary, right?

Aiden sipped his beer and said, "yes." If I had to buy Juyan's Fire Turtle, I could afford it, but that Demonic Beast wasn't for me. ”

Ying said: "Does that uncle want to buy a king beast-level guard?"

"This ......" The guards hired by the family like Aiden, the guards they match are all third- to fourth-order Warcraft, firstly, they are too haode Warcraft to be used, and secondly, if they spend too much on guarding, they will gain or lose. Therefore, it is already very eye-catching for ordinary guards to have a fifth-order guard, but if they can buy a sixth-order king beast as their own protection, it is indeed a very majestic thing among colleagues.

"Dad, you don't really want to buy it. Amy's eyes were full of surprise, but there was some excitement.

Aiden was a little moved by his daughter's excited expression, and the gap between having a king beast as a guardian and having an ordinary guardian is a completely different concept in terms of identity. Ordinary people will also take a look at the person who has the protection of the king beast when they see it. As a guard, a part-time mercenary, who wouldn't want to have such a guard?...,

Ying said again: "But the king beast is so expensive, if my uncle really buys it, he will spend all his savings, right?"

These words calmed Aiden's already beating heart like a bucket of cold water: "I have worked for so many years, plus I have been a part-time mercenary for more than 20 years since I was a child, and the accumulated property is more than 100,000 yuan. If we take Amy's mother** savings to buy a king beast, then our family's finances will be very tight. And buying a king beast is of little use to my current job, and I can't leave your mother and daughter and go outside to be a full-time mercenary. ”

"Then don't buy it. Amy's expression was a little gloomy, after all, everyone wished they had a great father.

"Not necessarily, uncle. Shadow asked, "Uncle's current strength should be a high-level knight, right?"

"How do you know?" Aiden was a little surprised, but he was surprised that he thought Eige remembered that night they had met.

Ying said: "I see that my uncle has a lot of cocoons on his hands, which is caused by years of combat training, and mages generally don't have such cocoons. In a big city like the royal capital, those rich and nobles will give priority to knights when choosing family guards, after all, knights have a great advantage over warriors in the early stage, and the strength of knights advances quickly, and the age of the uncle should already have advanced strength. ”

"You're so good, you observed so carefully, and you were all right. Amy complimented.

Ying smiled and continued: "Actually, with my uncle's strength, let's not talk about when I can become a true knight, if there is a king beast as a guard, I believe there will be a great improvement in strength." Uncle doesn't want to go outside to be a full-time mercenary, but he can also apply for a government position in the royal capital. If you can maintain law and order, there should be one or two hundred salaries in the royal capital, and there will be very haode benefits, and there will be retirement and pension after retirement. What's more, when you are a soldier in the government, you have the opportunity to be promoted, and your uncle has Uncle Wang, and then you can work hard to become a real knight and be promoted to become a sheriff. What's more, my uncle has been a personal guard in a big family in the royal capital for so long, and he should have a good relationship with them, and if he can ask them to help him in this matter, it will be even more fine. In addition, being a sheriff means having the opportunity to develop his family into a bureaucracy, which is of long-term interest to the family, and Amy has room for this when choosing a partner. ”

After saying this, Aiden was completely stunned, and Amy opened her mouth even more, and the whole person was stunned.

Seeing their expressions, Ying regretted in his heart: "Oh, I'm proud, it's too much." ”

Aiden's Adam's apple rolled a little, and he looked at the shadow in a daze, and his mind suddenly woke up like a big dream. He thought to himself that he was working so hard just to make his family and his family develop in a more advanced way. But after struggling in the royal capital for so many years, I can't find a way to work hard. Now it is for a young man to say that his heart is suddenly clear, and he finally knows what direction to work towards. Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Amy came back to her senses: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Aiden couldn't suppress his mood a little, took a deep breath, and drank the beer in the cup: "Let's go, let's go buy Warcraft"

............

On the other side, Linda and Cirille leisurely sipping their afternoon coffee on a lounge chair in the open-air restaurant. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain-soaked streets made this shady riverside exceptionally cool. Blowing the gentle wind, watching the crowd coming and going on the other side of the river without any worries, incomparable comfort and comfort are born in the bottom of my heart.

Qi Ruier hugged the doll in her arms and took a deep breath: "Hey~ What is life, this is life, when others live for survival, we are already living for life." ”

Linda laughed, "You little girl, pretend to be an adult." ”

"Well, I'm a little girl, can't a little girl have some sighs?".

Linda said, "I thought you only liked to kill." ”

Cirille shook her head, "Killing is just another pleasure for me, not the whole of my life. ”

"How many corpses in the yard have died for your pleasure, and you're going to bury them like this?"

“Or-what?”

Linda said, "You don't worry about sitting on them the next time you eat barbecue?"

Cirille asked, "Is this something I should be worried about?"

......

(There were guests at home during the day today, and I kept arguing until I couldn't feel at ease, and it wasn't until the evening that it calmed down.) So today there are only so many words, but there are also 5,000 words. A paragraph of zuihou in this chapter, everyone can see that it is not finished, because it is almost twelve o'clock, and I have to send it in a hurry, and I don't have time to think about it anymore. Because after twelve o'clock, even if there is no code word today, then my full attendance will be gone. So...... At this point, I should have enough words I need. Alas~ No way, sorry, let everyone see a long paragraph of nonsense. ）...... ，
