On the eve of dawn, military control was restored in the central square of the city hall, and the citizens surrounding the square gradually dissipated as the fog filled the air.
Surdak opened the thick curtains in the room and saw the army pushing carts of loot and some seriously wounded people passing by, returning to Ivorson from Epsom City.
Those wounded people wrapped in bandages reminded Suldak of his companions from the second team. Standing on the balcony of the second floor, he held the fence with one hand and sighed softly. It was a good idea, let's go back to Hailan together.
Sa went to manage the land, and he married his sister. Regardless of whether she is beautiful or ugly, he is not ugly. I believe his sister should also be a blond beauty.
"Why……"
In the early morning, the city surrounded by the Kempatomos River was completely shrouded in fog, but Suldak left the Song of the Wind hotel fully dressed.
Walking out of the hotel door, Surdak came to the place agreed upon with his eldest child Mashenka. This place was a hundred steps away from the Wind Song Hotel. Seeing that there was no one there from a distance, Surdak thought that
He had arrived early, but when he got there, the eldest child Mashenka suddenly jumped out of the shadows in the corner.
Because it was a little late yesterday, Suldak didn't even get a good look at his face. Now that he looked carefully, he saw that this older boy was quite handsome, with bright eyes and a slightly curly head.
The chestnut curly hair looks extremely soft. The back of the hair is wet with mist, and it sticks to the forehead smoothly.
He was tall and tall, with long arms and legs, but he was as thin as a hemp pole. The sleeves and trouser legs of the linen clothes he wore were obviously a little short, revealing a section of his tanned wrists.
The linen clothes look quite strong, but they have been washed a lot and have turned white in many places. The big leather boots above obviously don't fit well, but they look so natural on him. They must have been worn for a while.
.
"Hi, Mashenka, you're so early..." Knight Surdak greeted the eldest child.
Mashenka stood in front of Suldak with a smile, like a puppy wagging its tail waiting to be praised. She smiled at Suldak and said: "In fact, I may be better than you think."
Be early, I don’t want to lose this job as a guide, Sir Knight, where are you going?”
"A good day should start with a hearty breakfast!" Suldak took a big step and walked towards the food street that Mashenka introduced last night.
Even in the morning, there are many people in Epsom City. The streets are full of workers rushing to start work. They have no time to stop for breakfast. Many people buy cheap food from street food stalls.
Of course, there were many people sitting in front of the stalls and looking at the street, there were hurried pedestrians everywhere.
Mashenka is right, this is indeed a food street, and in the morning this street is filled with the aroma of all kinds of food.
The two of them chose to eat at a breakfast shop on the street, not only because this breakfast shop was the most popular, but also because it was highly recommended by Mashenka. The two of them finally found a half-empty table, and before those people had time to occupy it, they
Before taking the seat, Mashenka quickly grabbed the seat, then raised his hand high and called the waiter who was too busy to touch the floor.
Mashenka hesitated for a moment, then said quickly:
"Well, please give this gentleman knight a large chicken taco, another tortilla, a glass of freshly squeezed juice, and give me half a tortilla and a glass of water, that's it!"
When ordering food, Suldak noticed that he secretly touched his trouser pocket more than once, thinking that he was ready to pay.
Seeing the busy waiter turning around to leave, Suldak quickly stopped the waiter: "Wait a minute, waiter, we want two large chicken wraps, two tortillas, and two cups of freshly squeezed juice."
The waiter who was so busy that he could hardly stop looked at Suldak and Mashenka strangely and said to the two 'country bumpkins':
"I suggest you order just one tortilla. After you finish the tortillas here, you can refill them for free. You can eat as much as you want until you are full. You can call me at any time if you need more tortillas!"
"Uh, okay, I'll do as you say." Suldak said, and then looked seriously at Mashenka, who was sitting across the table and felt uneasy: "Eat with confidence, I'll treat you to this meal, I don't want us to leave.
Halfway through the journey, you will have no strength. You must eat a full meal in the morning to have the strength to work..."
Mashenka showed a sincere smile again and said: "Mr. Knight, you are really a generous person."
This breakfast was exactly what Mashenka said. It cost a total of fifty-six copper coins. Among them, the twelve copper coins for a tortilla seemed to be the most substantial. There were ten soft tortillas the size of a palm piled on a plate.
, the two of them almost didn't eat tortillas, because the large portion of chicken tacos was enough to fill an adult's stomach. Even so, Mashenka showed an amazing appetite, eating eight of them in one breath.
A corn tortilla...
When the two of them walked out of the breakfast shop, Mashenka almost held her belly with both hands and walked out slowly.
The rotating pancake pan at the entrance of the restaurant is steaming. A fat cook is holding a spoon in her hand and constantly scooping corn paste on it. After she fills the entire pan with dozens of corn pancakes,
, and began to quickly shovel off the baked corn tortillas with a shovel, and threw them into the large wooden basin at his feet. The corn tortillas in the wooden basin had already piled up like a mountain.
Surdak stood at the door of the store and said to Mashenka:
"Take me to the free market in Epsom City. It's best to buy the kind of market that brings back trophies from the battlefield..."
Mashenka thought about it seriously and said immediately:
"Then we can go to Oriana Street. There are all kinds of high-quality weapons and armor recovered from the battlefield. There are also some jewelry shops and antique shops. I believe they can meet your needs."
Passing through a street filled with clear water on the stone road, two knights from the guard camp with wooden sticks in their hands were driving away the homeless people lying on the benches on both sides of the long street, watching them drag their tired bodies
, wandering aimlessly in the city streets weakly, like groups of zombies in the morning fog that had not completely dispersed, Surdak felt that the city was a little lifeless.
Some homeless people who were lying on benches and could no longer get up were carried onto flatbed trucks by a group of night watchmen.
As the wheels roll, these dying homeless people will be pulled out of the city.
However, in Suldak's view, there is nothing scary outside Epsom City. Instead, it is full of life. The fields are full of various berries, mushrooms, wild vegetables and small animals such as voles and hares. As long as you are willing to stretch out your hands to collect them,
, it is impossible to starve to death, and I don’t know what these homeless people think. They would rather starve to death than leave Epsom City...
The two came to Oriana Street.
Surdak was worried that Mashenka would accumulate food if he ate too much, so he did not take the magic caravan but walked all the way.
It's just that Surdak didn't expect that this city would be so big. It only takes half a day to go around Handanar City, but Epsom City is just a district across the city.
After walking for almost two hours, when the fog in the city completely dissipated and the scorching sun was about to climb to the top of the head, Suldak felt that the soles of the long leather boots under his feet were almost worn out, and then the two of them arrived here.
On a street.
However, when the two arrived at this street, many shops on the street had just opened their vertical windows and wooden boards on their doors, preparing to open their shops.
At this time, at least half of the shops on the street have not yet opened. Mashenka said that some shops here will not open until noon, but these shops also close very late, and usually stay open until midnight.
"Mr. Knight, what are your plans for coming to this street?" Mashenka, the eldest child, looked at Suldak curiously and asked.
Surdak smiled and said nothing, and did not answer his question. He just walked aimlessly along this long street that seemed to be relatively spacious, until he saw a store with a magic weapons store plaque.
Stopped and said to Mashenka: "Let's go in and take a look..."
