Chapter 40 Hexicheng
Returning to the sky above Hexicheng, Yan Mu felt helpless...
Obviously you can return directly through the portal, but the princess said there is something important that needs to be done...
It's related to her quality of life in the future, and she'll be coerced and seduced...
In addition, Yan Mu also felt that he was caught in the Demon King's City for no reason, which was really embarrassing.
So since the princess came to the Demon King's City, he would try his best to tolerate the princess's various actions without involving principles...
Obviously, taking her back to River City would not violate his principles...
So this scene happened now...
The main reason is that Yan Yun's own storybook is really not good enough.
In the past two days, I have been reviewing the previous content. If you watch too much, you will get tired of it.
Rushing all the way towards Hexicheng, it took about two hours to pass by a huge ship floating in the sky again.
"Turn around! Turn around!"
A familiar voice came from the captain's cabin again, but this time there was one more person...
All the way to the hidden open space outside Hexi City, the two of them tidied up for a while before officially setting foot in Hexi City.
Yan Mu had only had a brief sense of it before and had never really seen the city in another world.
To be honest, he was shocked inside!
The walls of this city are forty to fifty feet high and covered with all kinds of strange patterns. Even the sides of the city walls can't be seen at a glance.
He can only say that the people of Qiling Continent are really capable of building.
Although it is only the eve of dawn, people are already coming and going under the high wall gate.
At this time, a handsome boy with a ball of light on his head caught his attention...
Yan Yun also unconsciously looked at the familiar adventurer with the shining forehead protector.
Judging from the fluctuations in his aura, he should be a high-level water attribute swordsman.
But this adventurer seems to be waiting for someone.
Walk directly past him and enter the city wall.
Yan Mu kept looking around with his eyes all the way. The prosperity of this city was not inferior to that of Blue Star's first-tier cities.
He became curious about the food supply of this giant city.
After all, because of the fog, I couldn't see the whole city clearly, and I didn't see any farmland outside the city.
"All the city residents in our Yanling Empire live inside the city walls, and the food supply is in the middle of the city."
"The advantage of this is that it makes it easier to deal with the quickly approaching beast tide."
“Also to avoid prioritization of food supplies being disrupted.”
Yan Yun leaned into Yan Mu's ear and answered softly.
Looking at his increasingly red earlobes, he blew a naughty breath...
Yan Mu suddenly became excited...
After walking a little further, a young female adventurer wearing round glasses and holding a staff almost knocked Yan Mu off his feet.
The female adventurer also realized her rashness and apologized profusely.
"Little brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"You are too short, my sister didn't notice..."
Yan Mu pulled Yan Yun's sleeve: "....What did she say?"
Yan Yun leaned into his ear and translated...
Looking at Yan Mu's darkened face, he even chuckled.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm a bit outspoken, please don't mind it..."
Seeing the cute young lady in front of her with a somewhat unhappy face, the mage lady was a little at a loss.
Yan Yun translates again...
Yan Mu's face turned darker. When you said that, I became even more concerned...
Yan Yun on the side quickly waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.
"It's okay. My little brother had some ear problems when he was born. He needs me to get closer to communicate~"
As he spoke, he pinched Yan Mu's little face.
Yan Mu was still confused.
"I said you are so cute, of course you won't argue with her..."
Yan Yun leaned close to Yan Mu's ear again.
Until the mage sister left, Yan Mu couldn't come to his senses. He always felt that the little sister looked at him with pity...
And is there any connection between being cute and not caring?
Is this the grammar of another world?
Yashi, who has been away for a while, always feels that something is familiar...
That plump and veiled woman always gave her a familiar feeling.
Including her voice.
But thinking that his newly joined adventurer team was still waiting for him at the door, he quickly put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind...
Yan Mu followed the princess, turning left and right, and stopped in front of a three-story building.
Yan Yun is a little embarrassed now. After all, the book she bought this time is not very glorious...
Especially buying those strange books in front of the young lady.
Falling into deep thought, he lowered his head and spoke to Yan Mu solemnly.
"You are not allowed to touch the books in our bookstore here unless you buy them. Please don't browse randomly for a while..."
Yan Mu nodded repeatedly.
He also had a good idea of what the bookstore in Bizarre World was like.
In addition to years of education, it is also necessary to respect local customs.
"Then let's go."
Yan Yun took the lead and walked at the front.
After whispering a few words in front of the waiter, the waitress looked at Yan Mu in surprise, but then gave Yan Yun an expression that said, "I understand..."
He led the two of them all the way to the bookshelf at the back of the second floor.
But Yan Mu always felt that something was wrong.
Although it is too high to see, these books are not serious no matter how you read them...
Facing Yan Mu's suspicious gaze, Yan Yun casually took out a white book from the upper shelf and handed it to him.
"This is a textbook for learning magic."
Yan Yun secretly thanked the considerate waitress.
Thanks to her reminder, the flaw was not exposed...
He took the book and took it in his hand, opened it and flipped through it. It was all densely packed with small characters. Yan Mu didn't see any strange pictures...
He handed it to the princess casually, and Yan Yun took the book and put it at the bottom.
Then the great task of selecting books began...
As for Yan Mu, he curiously looked at the various strange books around him. Although he couldn't understand the names, he could still understand the pictures.
Although it is a little inferior to the exquisite cover of Blue Star, it is still in line with his aesthetics.
Moreover, most of the people in this area are monster girls and so on. As expected, the aesthetics of Lao Se Biao are surprisingly consistent. It would still be the same in another world...
Most of the books on the top floor are newly published, which is also one of the humanized designs of the bookstore.
It can be regarded as doing Yan Yun a big favor.
As for the quality of the storybooks, Yan Yun was not picky. After all, those who could enter the bookstore would not be that bad.
After going around, she had a full stack in her hands, but she still raised her hands high.
When we came to the first floor, it was still the same waitress, although I was a little surprised that this customer would buy so much at one time.
But he still politely took the book from Yan Mu's head.
Then start calculating the price of the books.
"This distinguished lady, the total price is 5400 spirit coins. You can check out here..."
Following the guidance of the waitress, Yan Yun skillfully took out the crystal card and swiped it against the strange crystal plate next to it.
Yan Mu was shocked.
Good guy, this is a combination of credit card and mobile payment!
Is this world so advanced?
Seeing his shock, he explained in a low voice while the waiter was packing the books:
"This is a soul crystal card. It is used to record personal information, report cracks, save money, etc..."
"Can I make a phone call...uh, communicate with other people or something like that?"
Yan Mu asked curiously.
"No, I heard that the spirit circuit in the crystal card has been compressed to the extreme. Well, you don't understand..."
"How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Yan Mu was speechless.
"Then do you understand?"
"No..."
Yan Yun held her forehead, and then the waiter handed a huge cardboard box to her hand.
By the way, he also cast a meaningful look at her.
Yan Yun's face turned red, and she quickly pulled Yan Mu away from the book pavilion.
The two returned to the street again, and the sun was already higher than the city wall.
Obviously the best time to return has been missed.
Seeing Yan Mu's dilemma, Yan Yun was a little excited:
"How about we walk around the city?"
He took Yan Mu's little hand and pulled Yan Mu forward.
At this time, the president of Hexi City Adventurer Guild was a little melancholy.
He said he wanted his assistant to go out and relax, but this guy directly found a team of adventurers to join.
"President, I have sorted out the information for you."
At this time, a rough voice came from outside the door.
"come in."
The president still feels a little unaccustomed to it. Sure enough, he still misses the soft-spoken, gentle and beautiful female assistant...
He casually took a dozen documents handed over by the rugged man.
These are all new professionals who have recently joined the Adventurer's Guild.
Some are from Hexicheng, and some are from other cities...
"You go down first..."
The guild leader waved, and then quickly flipped through the information on his application to join the Adventurer's Guild.
By the way, I casually stamped my consent.
It was approaching evening, and Yan Mu and the princess each held a pile of cardboard boxes and followed the flow of people outside.
The whole day ended very peacefully, without any setbacks.
Yan Mu thinks he should be the protagonist.
As a result, I never encountered the plot of showing off and being slapped in the face.
The city is also surprisingly peaceful and clean.
The two of them walked until they reached a deserted clearing, and Yan Mu immediately transformed into a dragon form.
He grabbed two piles of things, one on the left and one on the right, and flew towards the rift with the princess quickly.
When they came to the entrance of the rift again, the two people, one tall and one short, holding a lot of things, once again became the focus of the adventurers.
Yan Yun was a little embarrassed.
Walking ahead, he quickly entered the fissure.
Yan Mu followed closely behind.
When the two returned to Yan Yun's room, it was almost midnight...
Yanling Empire, Yanling City.
The old king listened to the report of the Jingka Center with surprise.
"You mean Yun'er's crystal card spent more than 7 spirit coins in Hexi City today?"
"Everything my subordinates say is true, I don't dare to lie..."
The old king suddenly became excited, and he walked forward quickly despite the fluctuations of his soul beating not far away.
"Can you pinpoint the specific location?"
The staff at the crystal card center was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid not, but we recorded the time and price."
"The first purchase was just after Chenshi. Judging from the price, it should be some books or something."
"Quick, quick, quick! Send an order to the Adventurer's Guild... Hey, I've lost my mind. Get the communication crystal, and I'll send a message to Guild Leader Hexi and the City Lord in person!"
The guild leader and city lord who received the summons from the old king was confused. What's going on? The princess came to Hexicheng today?
But they didn't dare to neglect, so they naturally felt uneasy when they ordered the attendants.
They used communication crystals to communicate with each other. After discussion, each person took charge of one side and started asking from house to house.
The boss waiters were called up in the middle of the night. They were a little reluctant at first, but when they heard that the princess had come today, their eyes widened.
I quickly started thinking about it carefully...
On the president's side, he started from the city gate, and the first family had a harvest.
One of the waitresses hesitated to speak...
The president noticed immediately and asked.
"Just say it, don't worry..."
The waitress was still speechless.
"Well, this morning a beautiful woman with a veil and a child came to the library...she looks pretty good..."
"I did buy a lot of books from here..."
"And the price is right..."
The president is going crazy, but you are getting to the point!
The president had a hunch that this was definitely a princess.
But why would you bring a child with you...
"Take me directly to the place where they buy books..."
When the president saw that the waitress in front of him was still talking, he immediately interrupted.
"This...is not good..."
The waitress continues to be in trouble...
The president immediately said with a straight face: "This is related to the safety of the princess. If there is no such thing, lead the way."
"All right..."
Everyone followed the waiter all the way to the second floor, but their faces became weirder as they walked.
"arrive..."
The waiter pointed to the bookshelf.
The president did not hesitate and picked up the first white book "Quick Guide for Holy Magicians".
The old president nodded immediately. He was worthy of being the pearl of the empire, and his vision was extraordinary.
The author of this book is still his idol...
"that..."
"What's wrong?" The president was a little confused.
"Except for this one, most of the princesses on the first floor have bought it..."
The president suddenly sighed in his heart, she was indeed a princess, she couldn't even look down on Master Fengxing's masterpiece, could she be Master Lenghuo? Or a greedy holy master?
Then he reluctantly put down the book in his hand and looked at the other books on the shelf...
Suddenly my beard stood up with anger...
"How confused! How can such a masterpiece be placed in such a dirty place!"
"Haha..." The waiter smiled awkwardly. He did not pack this book when packing the princess's books today. Thinking that similar book buyers might need it in the future, he put it back in the first book here. ..
Facts have proved that it works, and today’s sales are much higher...
"You...you...how do you want me to explain to His Majesty!"
"Haha..." The waitress continued to smile awkwardly but politely...
It wasn't until the president left holding a large cardboard box with a dark look on his face that all the bookstore owners and waiters breathed a sigh of relief.
It still feels a little unreal.
The princess who was rumored to be kidnapped by the dragon actually appeared in her library and bought such, well, interesting books...
"Xiao He, you did a good job!"
The bookstore boss nodded to the waitress...
"Your creativity today is very good. From now on you will be the manager of this bookstore, and you will have to work harder in the future!"
The waitress named Xiao He immediately stood up straight and said loudly:
"I will definitely work hard! Let the boss live a better life!"
The bookstore boss suddenly showed a cowardly expression and patted Xiao He on the shoulder.
"I like you!"
...
All the way back to the president's office, President He Xi immediately informed the city lord of the results.
Then I looked at the carton and fell into silence again...
So how should I reply to His Majesty...
He casually took out a book from the box, um... "This Demon King Isn't Too Cold".
Get another book..."The Shota Development Manual"
...
"Forget it, forget it, report it truthfully."
The president sighed.
Start editing the statements that require communication.
