Rikka finally fell asleep after a long night of tossing, while Boom walked out of the alley carrying a bamboo basket. This was the ordinary life he had not seen for a long time. Although it was inappropriate, he seemed a little excited.
In his opinion, although Rikka's daily work is very complicated, it is not that difficult. Boom was an orphan in the royal city, so he is naturally familiar with these things.
"Ah, this seems to be the first time I have gone out alone since I moved to Highgarden. Maybe I have practiced too much." Boom stood by the street, thinking randomly.
The body melted into the crowd, and the magician's fatal flaw was undoubtedly revealed. Boom's most intuitive feeling now is that he is like a piece of rag, losing his dominance.
"Hey, hey, little brother, remember to wear your eyes when you go out tomorrow. I bought new leather boots."
"Sorry, we rushed to the mercenary union to submit the task, so we didn't hurt you."
"The city guards are on routine patrol! Get out of the way quickly! Those who obstruct will be considered as treasonous!"
"Damn poor people, my master is a count! Don't get close to the carriage, or you will be killed if it breaks!"
Boom's ears are constantly filled with these noises, which are as continuous as a torrent, and it must be even more terrifying with the city of Augu. Highgarden, the heart of Cisse, is synonymous with "chaos" in the Augu continent.
Half an hour later, Boom turned his head and looked back. He had wasted such a long time, but he had only walked less than a hundred meters out of the alley.
Although he is not angry now, he wants to raise his hand and throw out the black wood staff, and then throw out a few attack circles. Noisy noise is what Boom hates the most, even more than the nobles.
"Wind and water arrays are the worst choices, while earth and fire arrays are the best choices. But if you really do this, you will probably be chased to death by the Grand Duke of Cisse."
After thinking about it, Boom couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Today, he went out to buy food on behalf of Liuhua, so it was better to put aside the cultivation matters.
Another half hour passed, and Boom stood across from the market area, breathing heavily and dusting himself off.
"Rikka doesn't live like this every day, right? A little girl, a strong man comparable to a high-level warrior..." Boom tightened the bamboo basket in his hand, stood up again and walked forward.
However, the next question is not a question of "what to buy" and "what not to buy". Not only is the Gaoting market area much larger than Augu City, but it is also more crowded than the streets.
Even Boom, who had been living in the slums since childhood, seemed a little at a loss for this situation. He numbly moved forward with the crowd, and the vendors on both sides kept shouting.
"Take a look, the fresh shells that arrived early in the morning only cost ten silver coins each."
"White bread, brown bread, cheese bread, cinnamon bread, if you are short on money, you can buy leftovers."
"Snow crabs, they are real snow crabs in the rocky sea. You can't buy them with ten gold coins, and you won't suffer, and you can't be fooled if you buy them."
"Seasonal vegetables cost ten silver coins a portion; fresh beef costs fifty silver coins and half a pound; eggs only cost thirty copper coins each, and milk without water costs two silver coins a pot!"
The shouts of sales continued one after another, and Boom gradually became more and more calm from being at a loss at the beginning. But what is going on in High Court, and why are prices so inflated?
Although Boom knows that Rikka is a little rich woman, she will not forget the food she eats every day. Could it be that Rikka often goes out to kill mercenary groups just to satisfy her three meals a day?
Boom stopped and stood next to a fish stall, completely ignoring the smell and the strange looks from passers-by.
His heart felt a cramp for no reason, and his chest seemed to be holding a breath. Although it was not fatal, it was extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, Boom completely gave up his identity as a magician and squeezed into the crowd again.
Vegetables, fresh meat, eggs, milk, bread. While recalling the food he ate every day, he bargained with the vendors.
The midday sun scorched the High Garden, and the bluestone road under my feet gradually became hot. Boom looked up at the sky, and three hours had already passed.
But Boom, who was planning to return, suddenly stopped. A very familiar smell flooded into his nose, a sweet smell that he would smell every night.
This place is only separated from the market area by a street, but even so, it blocks the flow of people like a tidal flat. The shopping street is not a place where everyone can hang out, because the prices of things here are far beyond the consumption level of ordinary people. p>
A smile finally appeared on the corner of Boom's mouth, and although the passers-by frowned, they still recognized Boom's black mage robe.
The long queue formed a human-shaped centipede. At this time, there were more than twenty people lined up in front of Boom. Judging from their clothes, they were all servants of noble families.
Although this shop is a little narrow, the business is the best. I can see white mist constantly pouring out from between the partitions, and brown paper bags and gold coins also exchange owners.
But maybe it's to ensure quality, or maybe it's just a ploy to sell hungry products. This sugar cake specialty shop only sells out twenty yuan every half hour, no more, no less.
Boom went from eagerly waiting at the beginning to staring at the shadow of the tree boredly, and finally felt waves of sleepiness rising in his heart.
Another two hours passed. Boom stood at the front of the queue and sighed slowly. A new batch of sugar cakes also arrived on time and was neatly placed in the display window.
"One gold coin for each piece, and each person can only buy three pieces at most. What does the little brother say?" The fat boss looked at Boom with a smile, and blurted out professional language.
"A gold coin?" Boom's hand paused in the air, and his face gradually turned cold.
In his opinion, the other party was bullying him and raising the price because the sugar cake was only worth a few copper coins after the cost.
"No, do you want to buy it or not? We have been waiting all afternoon."
"Don't waste your time, okay? My master is a viscount, you can't afford to offend him."
"I think he is just looking for trouble. The boss should just call the city guard over."
The noise in the high court gradually decreased, and Boom slowly walked into the alley carrying the bamboo basket. But Rikka, who was squatting outside the courtyard gate, still looked a little depressed.
"Didn't I tell you to lie down properly? It's so troublesome." Boom forcibly carried Liuhua to the bed, and then drank two large bottles of water in one breath.
"Yeah, brother bought some white sugar cakes for me! It's still warm, brother is the best." Liuhua held the three pieces of white sugar cakes, and the stupid hair on her head kept shaking.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have to waste time buying food every day." Boom said softly, holding a bowl of vegetable porridge and carefully feeding Rikka.
"There aren't many things I can do. When my brother becomes the great mage, don't dislike Rikka." Rikka smiled sweetly and replied nonchalantly.
Boom did not practice today, let alone planned to practice. Rikka transformed into a "master" today, constantly using this "contracted beast".
Inside the bearskin blanket, Rikka's little hand quietly held Boom's arm, and she clung to him as if paralyzed.
"Aren't you afraid of a stomachache after eating three pieces of sugar cake at once?" Boom tugged at the dull hair on Rikka's head and asked worriedly.
"Because today's white sugar cake is particularly delicious, my brother hasn't bought one for me for a long time." Liuhua slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
