The street naming in Philon City is not as rich in historical and cultural flavor as that in Sainte-Nali, but is simply and roughly named according to the numerical order from the outside to the inside. The houses farther outward are denser and cheaper. Here and other cities
Similarly, many retail stores were opened, which happened to be where Fisher and the others needed to purchase items.
Fisher's carriage stopped at the end of Second Street. Fisher glanced at Qiqi, who was clenching her fists and seemed a little nervous. He put his gentleman's hat on his head and said to her,
"We're here, go ahead, we'll keep an eye on you."
"Okay...ok!"
With a rosy face, Qiqi held the edge of the carriage and got out of the carriage. Holding the gift box that was half her body, she walked along the street looking for the address attached to Angela's letter. In front of a residential building where she bought fruits, she stood.
After hesitating there for a long time, I seemed to be sure that this was where my pen pal lived.
"Ann...Angela..."
Because she didn't want to show her fangs, she spoke softly to the room above, but after waiting for a long time, no one there responded.
Qiqi paused on the spot for a second, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly above,
"Angela!"
"I'm here! Who is it?"
The sound finally got louder, attracting the attention of the surrounding fruit vendors and passers-by, but she also received a response from a child's voice upstairs.
Ah, no, my teeth.
Qiqi immediately blushed and covered her mouth, for fear that others would see that she was different from human beings. A head poked out of the window of the room on the second floor. It was a girl with long brown hair, about the same age as
Qiqi looked similar, with some freckles on her face, and a big smile on her face, revealing her mouth that was missing one or two teeth.
"Ah, you are...are you Qiqi?!"
Angela looked at the red-faced girl wearing a dress and a foreign hat below. After thinking for a second, she finally shouted excitedly,
"Wait a minute, Qiqi, I'll be down right away!"
As she ran back to the room, Angela's shouts were faintly heard from above,
"Mom! Let me just say that my pen pal is not a liar, not a trafficker, but a girl about the same age as me! I want to go out! I will be back before dinner! It's nearby!"
Following a burst of noise, a "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound came from the resident's house. Ten seconds later, Angela ran out of the door downstairs while putting on her shoes.
"Qiqi! I finally see you!"
She jumped up and hugged the petite Qiqi, rubbed her long silky hair, and then looked at her happily.
"Ann...Angela, this is my gift to you..."
Qiqi blushed and handed the wrapped gift box to Angela. The skirt behind her was raised a little by her happy tail, but she quickly pressed it down with her hands to prevent it from moving around.
Tail, tail, stop moving, or I will be discovered!
"Ah, thank you Qiqi. But I didn't even prepare a gift for you..." Angela took Qiqi's gift, touched her head with some distress, and then suddenly suggested with a smile, "Otherwise, I'll invite you to go
How about some coffee, come with me!"
Angela immediately grabbed Qiqi's hand and pulled her to run in the other direction of the street.
On the street near the outer wall, there is no music playing like inside. There is a coffee shop with maids and incense. It is not really a coffee shop, but more like a simple open-air drink shop. Occasionally, many workers passing by buy some here.
After drinking, you can also sit here and chat and take a rest.
There are no elegant waiters here, only a shirtless old man holding a pipe walking around serving drinks to the guests.
"Burt! I brought a friend here, and I want two cups of milk coffee!"
"It's so rude to call you uncle..." The uncle looked at Angela running over and curled his lips. While asking his wife in the kitchen to make coffee, he saw Qiqi, who was dressed like a little princess.
"Angela, if this girl you met somewhere is lost, you'd better ask your mother to call the police."
"No! She is my friend Qiqi, and I am here to invite her to drink coffee."
Angela stuck out her tongue at Uncle Bert, looking naughty.
"That's it... you guys find a place to sit. The coffee will be here shortly."
Angela led Qi Qi up to the high stool, first put the gift on the table, and then looked at Qi Qi with her hands in her hands.
"Angela, um, have you read the last letter I wrote to you?"
"I have read it! Qiqi, do you also like Ms. Lao Fang's poems? I have learned many of her poems in school. Although they are difficult to memorize, they are really good."
"I...I saw her poetry collection in my father's room before. My father said that her writing is very gentle, and I think so too."
"Would you like to imitate her and write poems? I brought a pencil!"
Angela took out a pencil from her arms and suggested with a smile.
"OK!"
Qiqi's eyes lit up and her legs were dangling on the high stool.
Behind her, Fisher, who was neatly dressed, led several dragons into the open-air beverage shop. The appearance of those dragons immediately attracted the attention of others, and some of them drank and stared.
The muddy man wanted to say something contemptuously, but after seeing the leading gentleman, he fell silent.
"What would you like to drink, sir?"
Fisher thought that these dragons had never drank anything like coffee, but they probably didn't like the bitter taste too much, so he only ordered a cup of coffee for himself and sweet juice for them. The food here is cheap, six
A drink only cost more than twenty euros. They found a place to sit down, and all of Fisher's peripheral vision was focused on Qiqi, who was talking to her companions.
The girl in the foreign hat had a slightly red face and was happily discussing the collection of poems by the classical poets of St. Louis with her friends. Although the words read by the children were simple, they always made people see a different world, so that many of them had become famous for a long time.
Poets all strive to imitate children, but they never get the true copy.
The boss quickly served them drinks. Lal first looked at the juice in the cup curiously, then carefully stretched out his tongue and licked it. However, he was quickly captured by the sweetness and took a swig from the cup.
Her cup quickly reached the bottom, but she was still unsatisfied, so she stared at the drinks in the cups of Kehir and Fahir next to her. She wanted to reach out and grab the cups secretly, but Fahir was soon caught.
I found that she was holding the cup into her arms as a warning to stop the annoying guy from drinking her juice.
"Okay, Lar, you can drink from me."
Mir smiled and handed his cup to Lal. Lal glanced at the juice that was not drunk at all, swallowed, but still shook his head and pushed the cup back.
"You better drink it. Lal has already drank it. This is delicious, sister Mil."
She quickly discovered the drink in front of Fisher that was different from theirs. She looked at the steaming brown drink for a long time, and then said,
"Fisher...Lal, can you have a taste of your drink? Just drink a little..."
She raised her thumb and index finger at a slight distance to prove that she really only drank a little.
"You drink it."
Lar smiled and picked up Fisher's cup. After taking a sip, his face wrinkled again.
"It's so painful, so painful, ugh..."
"You stupid!"
The coffee here didn't taste very good, so Fisher didn't drink more, and took out Fima Baharon's magic book to study magic. The magic he improved when he fought against Rafael was already usable.
But it seemed like it was overkill, making the originally huge magical power a little embarrassing, and it collapsed when Rafael pulled it.
It seems that further improvement is needed. Fisher envisions simulating the idea of human closed-loop magic rings, so that the power of magic to lever the reverberation can continue, which may enhance the power.
"Hey, Bert, let's have a drink!"
"....immediately."
While Fisher was deep in thought, a man with a shaved head and a cigarette in his mouth came to the door of the beverage shop. The man's messy stubble seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time. He was hunched over and leaning on his side with one hand.
on the table and looked around.
After looking around the store for a while, he suddenly saw Angela and Qiqi next to him. His eyes lit up and he walked towards Angela over there.
"Hey, little Angela, is your mother at home?"
Angela and Qi Qi, who were still discussing poetry, turned their heads to look at him. Angela's little face immediately puffed up, pointing at the man in front of her and loudly said,
"Barrick! My mother has already said she won't see you anymore, and you don't want to get money from my mother either!"
"You rude brat, how many times have you told me to call me uncle? If you come with me, you will know whether your mother will give me money!"
"Ah, let me go! Barrick! Let me go!"
The man suddenly grabbed Angela's wrist, causing her to struggle wildly, but she was very young after all, so she was easily picked up by the man. Seeing her partner being caught, Qiqi also panicked.
He stretched out his little hand and gave the man a sharp push.
"Let go of Angela!"
The werewolf's physical strength bonus was much higher than that of humans. This sudden push actually pushed the man away. Barrick looked at the panting girl sitting on the high stool with a face full of surprise.
She was wearing an exquisite dress and a little foreign hat. He wiped the corners of his mouth excitedly.
"Hey, when did you meet such a rich kid? Whose street do you live in? Come and show me to uncle."
He reached out to grab the other person's neck, but Qi Qi ducked away, but still grabbed the foreign hat on her head.
The ribbon underneath the foreign hat was tied into a tight knot, and the hat was pulled off and fastened to the back of Qiqi's head. The next second, the pair of pointed ears on her head were also exposed.
The eyes of Barrick and Angela, including the spectators next to them, were focused on the pair of pointed ears on the girl's head. Qiqi's face instantly turned pale, and she subconsciously reached out to cover the ears on her head.
"Ah...no...don't, my ears..."
"Hahaha! Little Angela, look, it turns out this is a demi-human hybrid...Who taught you to wear human clothes? Is it the human master who beats you every night..."
Before he could finish his words, an iron-like cane behind him had already tightly grasped his neck. Before he could react, his left knee was hit so hard that he was half-kneeling on the ground.
"Who...um!"
The person behind him grabbed his neck and punched him in the face. The punch did not spare any effort. In just a moment, his nose was dented and a large amount of blood spurted out.
Amidst the stars, he saw Fisher wearing a suit with an expressionless face.
Fisher grabbed his bald head, lifted the strong man up like a chicken and pointed it at the two girls in front of him.
"Tell me, how old are they?"
"I..."
Before he could answer, Fisher held his head and put it on his knees. The blow directly swollen his face, and several teeth fell to the ground along with his blood.
"How old?"
"I have no idea..."
Fisher lowered his head and punched again. This time his eyes were completely swollen into light bulbs. Not to mention the person in front of him, he couldn't even see clearly the Venus produced by his brain.
"How old are you?"
"Thirty-two years old..."
Fisher lowered his head and punched him again. This time, all other parts of his body softened. He was carried weakly by Fisher. He looked at Angela next to him and asked,
"Say, how old are you?"
"Seven...seven years old..."
Angela was frightened by the sight in front of her, and her words were trembling for a moment.
Fisher lowered his head and said to Barrick who was beaten unconscious,
"Do you know how old they are now?"
"Know...know..."
Fisher suddenly punched him in the face again. After this punch, he even lowered his head weakly. Fisher stopped carrying him and threw him on the ground casually, glancing at him.
The onlookers nearby, the humans who had looked at Qi Qi with ill-intentioned eyes, all looked back and drank without saying a word.
But the pale Qiqi's body started to tremble. In just a moment, she had already seen the eyes of the people around her, and of course she also saw Angela's shocked eyes beside her.
The next second, she covered her ears with her hands as if she couldn't bear it anymore, and ran outside.
"Qiqi!"
Angela's voice behind her gradually faded away, and Qiqi's figure quickly rushed out of the drink shop and headed in the other direction of the street.
