An impressive puppet show came to a close, and the five Boomers left the opera house with the flow of people. It was dinner time, and although night had already fallen, they could not hide the impetuousness of Wallkill City.
As the most prosperous place in the Rust Plains, the night in Wallkill City is no different from the day. It can even be said to be far more lively than the day. Because under the cover of this veil of night, many shady activities are completely unnecessary.
Worried about exposure, gold coins are the only unit of measurement, regardless of goods or humanity.
Everyone ended the conversation about "warlocks" and "alchemy" and then walked towards the night city, talking and laughing. This is a large area that has been specially set aside and is open to mercenary unions during the day to avoid waiting in line.
It's a waste of time. Night becomes a night market. As long as you pay a stall fee of one gold coin, you can set up a stall here to make money. As for whether you can get back the money, it is your own problem.
This also provides some weak mercenaries with their last chance every day. Although the job of maintaining order in the night market not only pays very low wages, but also has to deal with drunkards, thieves, and even thugs or disorderly nobles.
In this way, if you cannot submit an application form to the mercenary union in advance, you can only watch your peers make money.
"Uh... Then you can eat for free when you work here?" Rikka listened to Christine's introduction while looking at the prosperous food stalls in front of her with interest.
"If you really come to guard the night market, then the food on all the stalls will probably suffer."
"Besides, if you really asked me to choose, I would rather you rob and kill the mercenary group, because that way you can at least gain some practical experience."
After hearing this, Boom slapped Rikka angrily, and then took the little girl and walked towards a stall with the best business. Boom's words were half-truth and half-false. On the one hand, it was true that he cared about Rikka's safety, and on the other hand, it was false.
On the one hand, it is due to Boom’s former status as a poor man.
A job like guarding is, at best, a mercenary mission, and at worst, it's just a job for the other party. The so-called "vanity" is just like Boom, who swallows it when he has no ability, and once
Once you become famous, you will never want to be involved in anything embarrassing again. This is actually a disease, but the only good medicine is to cure it through time and self-precipitation.
Beef slices, mutton slices, chicken slices, cuttlefish balls, crab meat balls, and sweet shrimp balls. Rikka enjoyed eating them. Although the food in front of her didn't taste very delicious, it was expensive to have such a late-night snack in the open air.
Atmosphere.
"Houselady, how do you make this soup? It tastes really good." Rikka put on the "mask" of trying everything. The cute little girl was rarely rejected anywhere.<
/p>
"The little girl is really an expert. This soup is a treasure left by my ancestors, and it is a good thing that everyone in this night market knows about."
"Come on, come on, since this is your first time here, I'll give you another bowl of crab roe noodles. This is my own late-night snack, it's not on the menu."
The goblin proprietress laughed proudly when she heard this. Then she saw that the five Boom people were human beings and hated meeting each other, so she seemed very enthusiastic. Business is business. Maybe in the eyes of thousands of ordinary people, they can live a good life.
Going down is the true meaning, not some feud or suspicion.
Pig ear bones, plains rabbit fascia, ox tongue tips, and pheasant combs. Perseus and Hastur seemed to have completely forgotten their duties. One of them kept eating, and the other kept eating.
is reaching out to grab more food.
"This is the first time I've heard the word 'buffet', and it's also the first time I've sat down for a late-night snack with so many strangers. But it feels really good, and maybe I can get some useful information." Boom took a sip of ale. Although this glass of ale was mostly water, it was cheaper, with only three copper coins per cup. And this so-called "buffet (self-service skewers)" showed even more
The business acumen of that goblin boss lady.
People who have been busy all day gather in the night market. Although they are strangers to each other, they gather together to eat. And as Boom said, information exchange is the protagonist, and few people actually come to eat.
The price of the string is only five copper coins.
"It's novel, but it's enough to get acquainted with it. I don't plan to do it a second time."
"And the smell of meat and offal is mixed in this soup, which I don't like very much."
Christine was probably the person who ate the least in the entire stall, or this vegetarian only tasted some soy products, because she couldn't even eat eggs.
Boom smiled in embarrassment when he heard this, and Perseus chose to turn around. At this moment, most of the roasted sheep brain in front of Boom had been destroyed by him, and the melt-in-the-mouth feeling was mixed with the spices of the orcs.
, making Boom very satisfied with the meal. As for Perseus, he preferred the pleasure of biting open the eyes of roasted beef, the hot juice raging in his mouth, and the burnt skin was as chewy as a reef.
Time passed by minute by second, and finally Rikka patted her belly with satisfaction, indicating that she was done eating. Boom, on the other hand, smiled bitterly to comfort Christine. If not, the other party would probably use the wand of annihilation to kill this self-help
The shabu-shabu stall was reduced to powder.
"Sister Christine, don't be angry. Just think that Rikka is too greedy. How about grilling half of this skewer for each of us?" Rikka approached Christine with a playful smile, but then she took one bite and lost three points.
Roast Part 2.
Rikka has always been very generous, or a little short-sighted. But there are only two things that the little girl has no possibility of compromising on. One is Boom's safety, and the other is delicious food. So at the moment she
Being able to leave a small mouthful for Christine is already very rare.
"I don't have the habit of eating other people's saliva. How about you ask Boom? Maybe the saliva of ancient ferocious beasts can increase your strength."
Kristine's words immediately shut up Rikka. The little girl didn't want to provoke Kristine, because the opponent's ability to argue was far above the peak level. She also tried to refute something, but in the end she just let
Apart from sulking, I can't do any harm to the other party.
The night city behind him was still noisy and chaotic, and it seemed that only the dawn of dawn could dispel the quarrels and laughter. The voices of the group of five people were gradually swallowed up by the darkness, but just when Boom was about to ask Rikka for some water, his pupils suddenly opened.
Contraction, every muscle in the body becomes tense instantly.
"I didn't expect that a magician like you would have your money bag stolen one day. Hastur, go and deal with the other party." The smile on Christine's face did not diminish, and her eyes never averted. It was a dirty hand. The nails were filled with mud, and the surface of the skin was bruised, red and swollen. However, this hand was lucky, because if it hadn't reached out to Boom, it would have been separated from the body at this moment.
.
"You should take a walk after dinner, and getting into trouble for some gold coins is not a good deal." Boom stretched out his hand to stop Hastur, and then took the lead to walk towards the southern area of Wallkill City.
The other party's appearance was very familiar to Boom, because he had the same look many years ago. Perhaps he had touched a weakness deep in his heart. Just now, he did not take action directly, but chose to follow the other party quietly, hoping that the other party could give him a reasonable explanation.
