The Remaining City—The Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 34 The Trial of Wisdom
The rain seemed to be getting heavier. The teacher looked at the sky. "Children, go back indoors and switch to reading and writing classes."
So it was time for Carlin to leave. But before leaving, he gritted his teeth and amplified his hearing, intending to listen to see if anyone or anything else was doing outdoor activities in the college area.
Completely liberating the excellent hearing of the rabbit tribe demi-humans and eliminating unnecessary hearing, they found a strange noise among the countless sounds. It was the sound of the mechanical gears biting and rolling. It was in a second-hand store that Carlin passed by.
It comes from the underground of similar schools.
Afterwards, Carlin withdrew his hearing, rubbed his ears, and walked towards the location of the school, intending to circle around the perimeter of the school.
Of course, there are no signs or features on the stone walls, they just stand tall.
Turning to the door, the guard at the door began to stare at Karin, who looked suspicious. Unknowingly, he had passed this road for the third time.
He had no choice but to move towards the guard, intending to understand the situation. "Brother, I want to ask you something, what is the name of this school? I walked around a few times but I still can't figure out what this school teaches."
"It doesn't matter what you teach. You're already in your twenties and you're still wandering around the college area. I'm warning you, go and do what you're supposed to do, or you'll have to go to jail." The other party was completely rude.
"Yes, I should ask a professional to ask. Thank you." It was time for Carlin to change clothes. It was convenient for him to choose to go to the hotel where he had stayed before.
Carlin returned to the hotel. Originally, he had to take out enough copper coins, but fortunately, the standing sign was taken away. At this time, the uncle was still looking after the store. Behind the counter, he tried to wipe the copper coins on his knees.
of something.
He came to the counter and expressed that he wanted to stay in the hotel, and his eyes naturally looked in the direction of the uncle's knees.
He moved his gaze downwards. Otherwise, looking at the sitting uncle would be like looking at the air. On the uncle's knees was a silver-white, well-maintained two-handed sword. "The price has been changed, one paise a day." The uncle nodded.
I don’t care, no wonder there are so few people in this store.
"Okay, take it." Carlin took out a paisley and handed it over. "Is the boss also an explorer before?"
"No." He did not deny the identity of the boss. Although his tone of voice was very soft, he was inexplicably strong. He casually took the silver coins, threw them into a box under the counter, and then handed the key to Carlin from the buckle.
"Boss, are you from outside the city?" Out of some inexplicable sense of familiarity, Carlin stared at the boss's face, mainly with his ears, and at the same time reached out to take the key.
"I don't know how you came to this conclusion. I grew up in Lawton, and you don't seem like a person who knows how to inquire about others." He raised his head mid-sentence and looked at Karin with sharp eyes.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"How should I put it? I'm just curious. The first time I came here, the shopkeeper was a little girl with a rather special appearance. But as far as I know, the half-elf settlement outside is not the same as the people in the city.
Isn't it that the relationship is not very good? Originally, I just had some impression, but this time I went to the wrong place and got shot by an arrow, so I came back specifically to ask."
"My wife is half half-elf. Seeing as you haven't left any hidden wounds, why are you still thinking about it?"
"Disputes between different cultures and races are not uncommon, but there are not many people who still want to be neighbors when they have conflicts. I am really just curious, or I like to listen to stories. And if there is a conflict, why do I still come here?
As for the life in the other area, I am more curious about the inner thoughts of these people than the reasons." Karin showed his true attitude. In the principality, he saw no other races except humans.
"That's really a pity. I'm not good at it, and I don't like telling stories to others. Some things have to be buried in the long river of time."
"Well, this is your freedom. Of course, I am also happy to wait for your sharing." It is obvious that there will be no results in talking about this anymore. Carlin took the things and checked the time before deciding what to do. It was already five thirty.
, in short, change your clothes first and hang up the wet clothes to dry.
Although there is no way to dry the clothes on a rainy day, we can only wait until tomorrow day to open the windows and let the sunshine in - if it clears up tomorrow.
Everything seemed normal, but to Carlin what happened here was full of mystery, and he wouldn't even want to come here if it hadn't been raining.
He stared out the window in trance, thinking about when the rain would stop before he could go out for a walk or go to the Explorers' Association to inquire.
After a quarter of an hour, the rain did not get lighter but got heavier. It didn't seem to be a shower, and it was time for dinner. It seemed that it was unrealistic to go out. Carlin remembered that there was dinner here, but based on what had just happened,
What happened, he didn't want to go down immediately, so he freed up his hearing and planned to listen to what the people in the hotel might be doing.
There seemed to be no guests at this point, and there was no sound at all. It was hard to hear clearly outside the hotel, unless it was to the maximum. Amidst the mixed sounds of rain, Carlin could not collect where the girl went after leaving the hotel.
Wait for a while. Carlin feels that he is not hungry anyway. Let's see whether the rain stops first or the little girl comes back first. Carlin took out the cape "Tomorrow Star" he bought before and looked at it carefully and checked the equipment.
effectiveness.
To put it simply, in addition to emitting light and refracting light to achieve the invisibility effect, this piece of equipment seems to have other mysteries. However, Carlin doesn’t know what effect it has. It feels like it has reserved a layer of stress.
The magic power reserve, but I don’t know what it can do. [It seems there is something else...forget it, if this thing can make people invisible.] Karin put it on casually and tried to activate the ability effect.
Just like the previous experiment, the light fluctuated like water waves for a moment, and Karin saw his whole body disappear. He opened the window slightly and stretched out a cloaked hand outside the window to see the effect.
The raindrops fell, and although they wet Karin's clothes, the refraction of the light simulated the raindrops continuing to fall, but the sound still inevitably came out.
If you have Carlin's appalling hearing, or other means that don't rely on vision, you can detect it, but even this is very powerful. "It's really good, but it's better not to waste it casually." Carlin closed the window and closed it.
Invisible ability, while sorting out wet clothes, waiting for the rain to stop, or what this store calls "meal time".
After waiting for a while, it was still raining, and no other guests checked in today. The boss sat down at the counter in the lobby and ate some by himself.
Maybe the rain would stop and we could go out. But the rain kept falling. Karin lay on the bed and waited for a long time. But after waiting for a long time, the boss closed the door and the girl didn't come back. Maybe she went home?
Tutu thought for a while and went downstairs. He looked around and saw that there was not a single customer, so he decided to ask the boss if the hotel cafeteria was open today. "Um, boss, are you still open today?"
Although the uncle was already preparing to lock the door and go to sleep. "I thought you were already asleep, I'm going to warm up." After that, he locked the door first and then went to the kitchen to light a fire.
"Ah, please excuse me. I slept late and originally wanted to wait for the rain to stop and go out." Karin didn't plan to go out either. He found a table and sat down, closed his eyes and began to meditate symbolically.
After waiting for a while, the uncle brought out a pot of seasonal vegetable stew with butter. Although it was heated after cooling, it still exuded a wonderful aroma. It was certain that some spices were used in the stew process, and
This flavor is instead stimulated by the fresh cream, creating a sharp contrast.
The uncle put down the wooden basin and wooden spoon and returned to the counter. Karin picked up the spoon and stirred it, took a deep breath into the food, and began to taste the dinner quietly. [It's so delicious. There are so many things to learn and see in the world.
.]
The sweetness of the cream is very rich, and although the various flavors are mutually exclusive, they form a perfect complement in this dish.
Kalinglin finished eating quietly, then put the tableware neatly and sent them away, and went upstairs to listen to the rain. In the eyes of ordinary people, listening to the rain is a luxury choice, after all, they may not get enough sleep. But this kind of white noise is actually
It helps to sleep, and Karin soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Carlin woke up early. The rain was still falling, but now it was drizzling. The busy citizens could be heard outside the window. Carlin packed up his things and planned to go out early to go to the popular blacksmith shop.
Take a walk around and then go to the Explorers Society.
Carlin came downstairs with soft footsteps, and the boss was repeating the act of wiping his sword. The aroma of pastries came from outside the door, so he stopped disturbing the boss and left quietly, buying some breakfast on the way.
I bought a sweet pancake called Jiandou Chao, which was quite delicious, but Karin completely ran out of change.
The rain has become very light now, so a little shelter is enough. I walked and ate, but when I got there, I found that the blacksmith shop was not open at this point.
[It’s not open yet... maybe it’s too early.] Carlin chose to pass by quietly and headed to the Explorers Association. When he stepped through the door and wiped his shoes on the mat specially brought out on rainy days, Carlin noticed that the number of people was obvious.
It's not as good as the explorers who saw Lilia tinkering with gadgets two days ago.
She seemed to be waiting for someone, but there were quite a few people gathered around her, but there were only a few people at the counter. It didn't take long to wait in line at this time, and it seemed that today's new order would have to wait a while before being released.
