"Boss, boss! Boss, do you think this looks good? This is for you!"
"Boss, try this! I heard that this city sells this kind of dim sum in the whole mainland. It is said that it is made of pure fruit!"
"Boss, let's watch the fireworks! There is a nearby town that sets off fireworks every 20 days. I heard that the alchemists gathered in the town made them out of the by-products of alchemy. It's so beautiful. I haven't seen it yet. Let's watch the fireworks tonight, shall we?"
"Boss, boss, don't pull my ears, okay? You won't grow tall if you pull it again..."
Along the way, the voice of such a chirping little girl never stopped for a minute and a half, and the chirping movement was so loud that it even made passers-by along the way look sideways. What they saw was a girl who looked ten years old. The loli who arrived followed a man step by step, bouncing around and chirping in an attempt to show her presence. If you ignore her strange address, it can basically be seen as a person who was taken out for shopping by an adult, and then looked at The youngest daughter who keeps pestering her when she finds something she likes—but if any daughter is really like Lilina, I can only bless his eight generations of ancestors. This girl is really hard to suppress when she gets nervous.
"I said, what stimulated her in the past two days?" After I beat Lilina who was trying to jump on me back with a knife, I looked at my sister with a big head. He looked overly excited all the time, and kept showing me all kinds of weird things. Of course, Lilina used to be so nervous in normal times, but today's symptoms seem to be more serious than before. Elder Sister glanced at Lilina with a smile, and explained softly: "It's not that you don't know her character, and you suddenly became nervous. And I haven't seen you for so many days, I probably miss you."
"I think she's just playing crazy in this world and can't cool down," I pouted. Then he sighed softly, bent down and grabbed Lilina and put it on one shoulder, at least it would make her quieter, and of course there was still a mercury lamp sitting on my other shoulder, the little doll saw his old enemy was placed on the opposite side , Immediately pressed my finger on the center of my head, and warned loudly: "Look out. This is the boundary, and this is my territory. You are not allowed to cross the line!"
Me: "..." What does this cheating child think of me!
Lilina's goal of showing her presence has been achieved. Satisfied, it is rare that he did not fight with the mercury lamp, but shook his feet: "Boss, isn't this world interesting? There are mysterious things everywhere."
I smacked my lips: "It's quite interesting, but we stayed in a deserted prairie for two days. If you say it's so interesting, it's you. It seems that you have a lot of fun in this world."
I squinted at Lilina, the clothes this girl was wearing were obviously newly purchased in this world. It looks gorgeous and sophisticated. It was a blue-purple dress mixed with white embellishments, and it felt a bit like a little princess's dress. But there are two golden wide sides hanging straight down on the chest, adding an inexplicable majesty to the dress, and there are many small feather-like ornaments on the skirt of the dress, which are light and transparent , very beautiful. However, Lilina's nouveau riche act ruined the feeling of this princess dress that was supposed to be associated with "noble, gorgeous, and powerful":
There are at least a dozen strings of various commemorative ornaments hanging around her neck. It is easy to know that they are cheaply bought from the street, and are essentially used to fool foreign tourists; There are a total of seven or eight bracelets wrapped around her hands. I even suspect that the girl said that her Iron Fist successor is not in violation of the law; her ankles shake and jingle, because she also got herself four pairs of anklets What's even more amazing is that she also wore three belts of different colors, although she claims that two of them are folk decorations with the characteristics of this city. Besides, let's not talk about the small animal bone amulets, wooden swords, glitter beads and other messy things that came out of her pocket. Lilina was like a moving exhibition when she first appeared in front of my eyes. The shelf is covered with this kind of cheap thing that looks like a special product for the scenic spot: she doesn't even store these things in her portable space, which shows the mentality of a silly upstart. Fortunately, Little Bubble took a lot of shiny gadgets from her later, and now Lilina's appearance is actually much more normal than before.
The clothes worn by Little Crow and Vanilla are also similar to Lilina’s, they may have been custom-made, but those two don’t hang a lot of messy things on themselves like Lilina’s upstarts, and the two look the same The little girl was walking on the street wearing a beautiful princess dress, looking at the passing scenery full of novelty, attracting a lot of attention like twin little angels, and behind them, there are Pandora and Viska, Bubble and Little Bubbles...
There are more and more passers-by on both sides. They may think that our twins are parading here. Fortunately, this is not on the earth, otherwise at least a dozen people would rush over to ask for a group photo at this time.
The elder sister was still wearing the ordinary long dress from another world when she set off, and she didn't seem to participate in the convulsions of the little girls.
"These things are all souvenirs!" Lilina pulled a lot of pendants around her neck. These things set her off like an old chief of a Central African country. Bai came out for a trip. Look at this, it is braided with the beard of a black sharp-horned sheep, which is resistant to disease and the three evils related to disease. You bring the blessing of the river god, if you can swim, you may not drown if you fall into the water..."
Me: "... I always feel that something is wrong."
"Anyway, it's just a joke, everyone knows it's a lie," Lilina waved her hand proudly, and then picked out a shiny crystal pendant for me to wear around my neck, "Specially for you Pick it, it will greatly increase your sense of presence, because this is a pendant for women."
I threw this thing into the portable space without hesitation.
"Ah Jun. When are we going to eat?" Sandora rubbed her belly pitifully and came over, "I'm hungry, I got up early and didn't eat, so I rushed here. I can see that everything is delicious. look..."
I hurriedly shook Lilina on my shoulders in horror: "Find a place to eat immediately! Before this city is destroyed!"
"Hi, I know a good place!" Lilina immediately raised her toes and pointed forward, "Go straight ahead and you will find the central sculpture of this city, and a quarter of that square is full of places to eat, I guess That's the only thing that can feed Miss Sandora."
Sandora walked away without saying a word: "Let's go. Eat first, eat first! I haven't eaten a serious meal in two days!"
Soon we found the central square that Lilina mentioned, that place is really easy to find, the plain where the city is located is roughly a circle, divided into two from the middle, half of which is an open area, as a miracle When the day comes, this place will serve as the projection point where certain lost worlds meet the mother continent, while the other half will be the "port" city "Sentu". That is where we are now. The word "Sentu" means "port" or "channel" in the local language. Central Square is located in the very center of this semi-circular city. There are three wide and flat stone roads leading directly from the port square to the central square. You can find it by going straight along the road.
The semicircular city is reminiscent of the moon, and the shape of the central square is simply designed as a crescent, which matches the outline of the city itself. In the middle of this long and narrow "Crescent Square", we see the city's most famous Sculpture of: Explorers.
This is a statue of a person, about ten meters high by visual inspection, and it is made of black thick stones. It is an image of a strong man climbing a cliff, and the man on the sculpture is wearing a tight leather jacket. There is an animal skin apron tied around his waist, and several tools that have no obvious use but may not be used for combat are carried on his back. He was struggling to climb a huge rock, his muscles were tense, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. However, what is puzzling is that the protagonist on the sculpture has no face: it is not that it has been weathered, but that the sculpture itself does not depict a face.
"This is the symbol of this city. Sentu Port is considered to be one of the oldest cities on this continent, and it can even be traced back to the savage period," Lilina acted as our guide, talking under the sculpture, " In the beginning, regional projections from unknown origins could be seen suddenly appearing everywhere on this continent. People at that time were full of confusion and fear, and regarded these images as scourges and avoided them. The reason for their appearance This situation is because many brave people wanted to find out what happened to these sudden areas and went deep into them, but these sudden area projections may disappear at any time, and it is unknown when they will reappear next time Ninety percent of the people who entered the mystical world never returned after entering the mystical world without a summary appearing in the general "period calendar", and the rest returned scarred and crazy. These people said that they were Sent into a forgotten world, where there are huge ruins and ancient guardians still in operation, the guardians will kill anyone who breaks into the ruins. So over time, people no longer dare to touch these inexplicable areas , and call it the Lost World."
Speaking of this, Lilina paused, and I immediately acted cooperatively as if I didn’t care if you like to talk or not, so Lilina continued to speak with resentment: “Later, there was a bold guy carrying a lot of messy luggage. He came here with half a month's rations. At that time, there was no Sentu Port, and there was no human habitation. In that ignorant period when the traffic was completely dependent on walking, he was the first person to find this wasteland. He passed through here Entered one of the few lost worlds that was absolutely safe: the ancient gardens. Of course, he came back alive, except for the fact that he almost suffered from severe stomach problems from eating half moon grass. Since that day From then on, people finally knew that these lost worlds were not mortal places, and that brave guy brought back a large number of plants that had never been seen on this continent from the ancient garden, many of which were proved to have alchemical value. The world's alchemy technology is still in its infancy, and people have the courage to use all kinds of strange raw materials. However, the existing alchemy materials on the mainland are limited after all, so only the various herbs that can be collected in ancient gardens immediately made that lucky guy send a pen Windfall, and after that, more and more explorers poured into the ancient garden. Here the prototype of Sentu Port was formed. Then, the ancient garden could no longer satisfy people, so more people tried to form a well-equipped team to challenge other In short, many, many things happened, and many brave explorers were sacrificed. Finally, the periodic calendar appeared.
The weekly calendar is one of the two most important calendars in the world. Originally, it was just the scattered experience summed up by some expedition teams themselves, but was later compiled by a respected old explorer into a complete calendar, which basically covered 80% of the appearance rules and basic conditions of the lost world. . It can be said that the current pattern of the world: people live with the lost world, collect resources and knowledge from the lost world, and all kinds of weird religious legends related to the fragments of different worlds. And so on and so on and so on, things like that were first developed by explorers. Therefore, as the oldest port of the lost world. The city logo of Sentu is the image of an explorer struggling to climb. This sculpture has no face, which means that it refers to the explorer as a whole rather than a specific individual. "
"It's a pity that time has passed, and many things have changed." Speaking of this, Lilina sighed, "Explorers enjoyed a high status hundreds of years ago, but this industry has a loose structure and mixed dragons and snakes. From the beginning There is no stability. And as more and more lost worlds are thoroughly explored, and even have permanent camps. Traveling to those worlds no longer requires huge risks, and the value and status of explorers is getting lower and lower. You Think about it, under the escort of a professional army, any old farmer can go to the lost world to dig herbs. The way of making a living is synonymous with courageous people. They rely on searching for treasures in dangerous areas that have not yet been fully controlled by humans. Many lost worlds have relics of several civilizations. The things in the relics are scholars and Alchemists need it. In addition, the ancient garden that was originally used as an important source of herbal medicine has become less popular now, because all the plant seeds brought out from there have been successfully cultivated on the mother continent, and people no longer have to spend time and wait for periodic visits. Collecting herbs in the lost world is one of the reasons why explorers are gradually losing their status: many materials produced in the lost world have become worthless. Now the ancient garden is just a transit point with a good view. People start from Sentu to the ancient garden Stay for a short period of time, and then transfer to other lost worlds. Explorers will go to dangerous places such as ancient cities. The next stop for tourists and businessmen is the Hanging River or the Sky Tower. Well, this world is really huge. Endless, this planet that is a circle larger than the earth is only a small part of what you can see. Adding up those fragmentary lost worlds, I suspect that it may be more than ten times the size of the parent planet. God knows how it was formed. .”
I didn't expect that Lilina already knew so much about this world. You know, two days ago, she was as unaware of the existence of the "Lost World" as we were, but she was able to find out so much in just two days. Things are really incredible action. Seeing my surprise, my sister smiled and said in a low voice: "In the past two days, she has been learning about the customs and customs of this world everywhere, so that she can show off to you all day today." It's really this girl's style.
"Ah Jun, shall we go there to eat?" Sandora doesn't care about the customs and customs of this world. These little things can't be understood by Her Majesty the Queen who is busy with everything. She just thought that it's time to eat now, so she shook Shaking my arm, I pointed to a string of food vendors on the edge of the square, "It looks delicious."
Lilina shook her head: "That sells vegetable porridge and gray cakes. People here stew various vegetables and a bean-like staple food, and then use that bean to grind flour pancakes. Common food, very delicious. Let's go, I'm a treat, I'm rich now, boss, I'll tell you about our business here, the little bird is now half a patron saint... "
Although I am quite interested in Lilina's story, it is important to feed Sandora first. Soon we came to a food stall that looked quite big. Our group, no matter the royal relatives or the gods of the heavens, were all soaked in small commodity markets and roadside food stalls. We didn't care about the scene at all, Hao A group of people occupied half of the entire stall at that time. It seemed that it was almost past the meal time. There were not many people eating here. The appearance of a large group of customers immediately made the stall owner smile: This is a hair and A pudgy middle-aged man with an unusually bushy beard, Lilina told me in a low voice, he should be a hybrid of human and dwarf.
"Bring up all the food you have left, let's wrap it up," I glanced at Sandora, and said to the stall owner, seeing the surprised expression on the other side, I added, "It's okay, if you can't eat, we can bring Let's go." Then I told Sandora again: "Then what, if you don't have enough food, hold on a bit, let's go eat the next one, don't eat other people's stalls."
Her Majesty the Queen gave a pitiful oh, her expression seemed to be ready to starve...
It’s always like this when I take her out to eat, I’m used to it, so it’s more convenient for Sandora to eat at home most of the time, at least we don’t have to go to all the restaurants on the street to prevent a sensation. While the stall owner was preparing food, I also studied the tableware in this world, and found that except for the spoon and the earth, the other two looked strange. One of them was a roller knife with sharp edges. Knowing that most of the staple foods in this world are in the shape of pies, this is something specially used for cutting, and the other is a metal clip about a foot long—this seems to be the thing for holding food.
The operation is quite simple. I am very glad that I don’t have to struggle with this matter like foreigners learning to use chopsticks, but Qianqian is still very powerful. She took out a pair of chopsticks from the portable space without hesitation, fooling me. Hehe smiled: "Just get used to this!"
I thought so, so under Qianqian's lead, everyone gave up the weird tableware in this world. Except for vanilla, everyone took out chopsticks. Of course, most people didn't bring chopsticks in their personal space (such as Pandora They) all borrowed money from Qianqian. When the stall owner came over, he looked at us with dazed eyes. I think if you open a restaurant and a customer comes suddenly, they throw the bowls and chopsticks aside and take out a gasoline saw from the suitcase to eat, you should be the same eyes.
"Hehe, we are travelers from the east, and this is a custom in our hometown." I smiled and explained to the stall owner in a casual way. The stall owner was even more stunned: "... this is the easternmost part of the mainland. Usually, the east refers to this place."
Me: "..." Go to your sister's online text panacea oriental mysterious country to fool me**... (To be continued)RQ
