Today is Tuesday, May 23, 574th year of the Holy Light Calendar. It is said that the Holy Light Calendar was formulated by the leader of the Brotherhood, the stonemason Riggs O. Hill, who led the uprising armed forces to defeat the evil
The year when the magicians were driven out of Farea and established the Amslang Dynasty that unified Farea was set as the first year of the Holy Light Calendar, suspending the Thousands of Years of Dark Calendar. At present,
Basically, all countries in Farea Continent practice the Holy Light Calendar.
In four days, it will be Saturday, May 27th. In the history of the Kingdom of Ovilas, this is the day when Prince Kargat ascended the throne of the king and became the king after winning the battle of the three-color scepter.
The anniversary of Stirling IX. After his death, Stirling X, who succeeded to the throne, instructed the House of Lords to propose that this day be set as a legal holiday in the kingdom and named Revival Day to commemorate the great Stirling IX.
The great work done in the world to restore the kingdom.
The school is on holiday on Sunday, plus the school will hold a Renaissance Festival celebration on Friday morning as usual, and there are no classes in the afternoon, so Claude and the others have a rare two-and-a-half-day holiday.
You must know that this world is different from the time traveler's previous life. The school does not have summer vacation and winter vacation. There is only one semester throughout the year. The school starts in mid-February and does not have vacation until November. The two-month holiday during the New Year is called annual leave.
Or it is also called the cat winter vacation. This is because in the continent of Farea, this period of the year is the coldest season, with heavy snowfall. Most people use cats to avoid the cold indoors and spend the winter, and rarely go out to work.
Now that they had two and a half days of vacation, Bockaar and Erikson started planning where to go. Claude and Verricro were naturally indispensable. It was just Bockaar and Erikson.
The ideas the two of them came up with were not very reliable. In the end, Verricro proposed camping at Bailuzhou, which won everyone's unanimous approval.
Bailuzhou is less than 20 miles away from Bailu Town, a stone's throw away, but Claude has never been to Bailuzhou. This is because between Bailu Town and Bailuzhou is Lake Beringa, which is more than ten miles wide.
More than a thousand years ago, mountain people in the southwest saw the legendary white elk, which symbolizes happiness and tranquility, wandering on the shores of Lake Beringa while hunting. So they settled here with their wives and children, and Bailu Town was born. The same is true for Bailuzhou.
A long time ago, there were countless egrets flying on the island, hence its name.
It was only later that people discovered that Bailuzhou, which they thought was separated by a lake from Bailu Town, was not a hill or a small island by the lake. To be precise, Bailuzhou was actually a land connecting Lake Beringa, Bailu Town and the sea.
Separated seaside hills. Precisely because of the obstruction of Bailuzhou, the howling sea wind and raging waves have never posed a threat to Bailu Town. The only harm is the intrusion of seawater into Lake Beringa several times a year by spring tides.
The lake water rose and overflowed the dam, causing only minor flooding.
It is said that there are egrets and countless seabirds on Bailu Island, as well as sea otters, stone foxes, mountain leopards and other exotic animals with precious and valuable fur, as well as countless medicinal herbs worth collecting, and the products are extremely rich. However, few people in Bailu Town are willing to
Head to Bailuzhou.
There are no other reasons. Firstly, it is dangerous. Secondly, there is a large ruins on the island. Legend has it that it is the remnant of a magic tower that collapsed hundreds of years ago. It involves an evil magician, so that Bailuzhou is spread by word of mouth among people.
It has been artificially cast a shadow of evil, and no one wants to go there to cause trouble for themselves.
Boker and Erikson have not been to Bailuzhou either. Among the four friends, only Viriklo followed his father and went there twice during the annual vacation in the past two years, once to hunt stone foxes and the other time.
To collect a medicinal herb.
So Vericro said that the proposal to go to Bailuzhou for camping and adventure vacation was welcomed by two bold guys, Bockar and Erikson. Youth means curiosity, but also impulsiveness and courage. As a time traveler, Claude
, he didn't care about the so-called terrifying and evil legends on Bailuzhou. On the contrary, he was very interested in the ruins of the collapsed magic tower and was ready to go and have a look, so he acquiesced.
"By the way, Claude, after lunch we climbed over the back wall and went to Old Munch's Grocery Store on the old street to sell the two leathers that Vero brought, and by the way, we checked at his store to see if there are any.
The things we need." Bockar said softly, pointing to the package Viricero brought under the desk.
Claude nodded. The wall in the woods behind the school was soaked by heavy snow and rain and collapsed in half. It became an undisclosed entrance and exit for students to freely enter and exit the campus in violation of school rules. Everyone knew about it, but no one would report it to the school.
.
What's more, even if the school management knew about it, there would be no way to repair the gap in a short time. Funds for repairing the wall would have to be reported to the administrative department of Bailu Town, and the administrative department would send someone to the school to investigate and verify the repairs.
The amount of funds will be determined, and then a meeting will be held to discuss where the extra-budgetary funds should be allocated. Finally, the resolution will be submitted to the town mayor for signature. After the town mayor agrees, the resolution will be sent to the town finance department for implementation.
The entire process from application to fund allocation cannot be completed in less than two months. If the town mayor disagrees or the town finance department says that this year's funds are tight and difficult to wait until next year, then all the previous efforts will be in vain, and we will have to continue next year.
Go through this process again.
Therefore, even if the school knew that there was a breach in the wall behind it, they turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. Perhaps they wished the wall would collapse a few more times, so that they could legitimately ask the town to allocate funds to rebuild the wall.
Build the entire school wall instead of repairing a small gap.
The lunch in junior high school is still as unpalatable and tasteless as ever, consisting of a spoonful of mashed potatoes with gravy, a piece of bacon as thin as paper between two slices of black bread, and the fruit is a boiled apple the size of a baby's fist. However, the large iron plate placed in the cafeteria
You can drink the red cabbage soup in the pot as much as you want, as long as your stomach can hold it.
This kind of lunch can fill students' stomachs, but don't think about the delicious taste. Occasionally, the school will change the recipe, which is just replacing the mashed potatoes with oatmeal, or replacing the thin slice of brown bread.
Replace the thin bacon with a slice of cheese and add two slices of lettuce.
In order to save money, the school even removed butter, and only salt shakers were placed on the tables in the cafeteria.
Bockaar is now chewing on the black bread as if he is dying: "It's too dry and astringent. I really miss the mutton grilled naan bread I had in the morning. It's fragrant and crispy, and my mouth is full of oil when I bite it..."
Erikson sarcastically said while spooning the mashed potatoes on the plate: "Who told you to eat the bacon first, then the mashed potatoes, and finally gnaw on the black bread? Can you swallow it without accompanying it? It tastes like dry sawdust."
Why don't you go make a bowl of red cabbage soup and eat it while you're at it?"
"No." Bockal shook his head hurriedly: "You know I feel like vomiting when I smell the red cabbage soup. Somehow every time I see the red cabbage soup, I think of the smell of the insoles. It's so disgusting...
…”
"Eat quickly, don't talk nonsense. Claude and Vero have already gone to the classroom to get the packages after eating. If you are not afraid that you will not be able to bear it in the afternoon, don't eat, or we can go out later and you can buy some lamb naan bread to eat.
..." Erikson stared at Bockaar with evil intentions, as if he hoped he would accept his proposal.
"You have a beautiful idea..." The bread crumbs in Bock'ar's mouth scattered all over the floor: "I only have two riaso's pocket money a month, and I spent one-tenth of it on a mutton grilled naan in the morning.
You robbed most of it..."
"Who said you are the richest among us!" Erikson spread his hands: "You are not satisfied with two riaso's pocket money a month? As for me...my dad will throw it away when he is in a good mood.
Give me a riaso and give me a kick when I'm in a bad mood, but he's on board for most of the year and I can't possibly see him every month or get a riaso out of his purse.
Yasuo.
Claude is in a similar situation to me. His father won't give him pocket money without justifiable reasons. Occasionally, his mother will give him no more than a riaso. As for Vero, his shrewd and stingy sister heads the house.
He is busy earning a dowry for himself, do you think he will have pocket money in his hands?"
Seeing Bockar's speechless expression, Erikson laughed: "So Claude is right, we are good partners, best friends, your pocket money is everyone's pocket money, if you pay for this little money
It would be a disservice to our friendship to be preoccupied... If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Look, Claude and Vero have already waved to us. Let's go. Even if you don't want to buy lamb naan bread, you can buy something else.
Delicious…”
"It always feels like something is wrong..." Bockaar looked at Erikson's back, then at the half piece of black bread in his hand, and murmured to himself: "Forget it, let's buy lamb naan bread."
Eat..."
The four people successfully climbed over the fence behind the school.
"Why do you want to go to the Old Munch Grocery Store in the old street to sell leather? I remember that the Gilp Fur Store in the New District is the largest fur purchase point in the town, right?" Claude asked curiously.
"These two leathers from Vero have been put away for a long time," Bockaal replied: "The furs are not shiny and are a bit damaged. They can't sell them at a high price in Gilp's leather goods shop. They will not buy more than six riaso at most. Lao Meng
I can make a counter-offer, and I think I might be able to sell it for eight or nine riyals."
"Claude, you rarely go to Old Street before, so you don't know the old Munch Grocery Store." Ericson added next to him: "Actually, the Old Munch Grocery Store is the oldest store in the town.
They have been open for three generations, but their business is basically dealing with merchants or sailors. The merchants and sailors who travel all over the world like to trade the weird gadgets they collect to the old people.
Munch’s Grocery Store in exchange for money…”
"But now the old Munch Grocery Store no longer collects and trades those things." Boker said: "At the end of last year, the old store owner Pichak went to the mountains to pick up goods. The road was slippery in heavy snow, and he and his car fell into the ravine and died.
, his eldest son Vaculi took over as the new store owner. Vaculi then decided to transform the grocery store into a specialized fishing gear and boat supplies store.
You know that fishing gear and boat supplies inevitably require furs as raw materials, but Gilp's fur shop in the town is a big purchaser, and Old Munch's Grocery Store can't compete for a share of fur purchases, so it can only buy them piecemeal, so we got these two skins.
