Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 145 Market
The weather was cloudless and blue, and the streets of Jinyu City were extremely lively.

"Brian, where do you want to go?"

Kearney, who was wearing a light blue dress, turned around, let the breeze blow her long hair, and met Brian who just appeared in sight.

There is a vibrant heart beating on the street, and a heart, coupled with a pair of feet, outlines the beautiful landscape in Brian's eyes.

He came to Kearni's side and looked forward with scrutiny.

The surroundings were filled with the sound of rolling wheels, the heavy hooves of cattle and horses, and the noise of the crowd. Everyone was busy unloading goods and setting up stalls. This chaotic scene made him frown slightly.

However, when he thought that the purpose of today was to accompany the princess, he quickly raised his eyebrows, looked at Korni, and said with a smile: "Everything."

"Well..." Korni took Brian's arm and thought about it seriously.

"Golden Feather City is so big, we still have to go outside the city to play in the afternoon, I'm afraid it will be too late. How about I call a carriage, it will be faster, and you can lie comfortably in the carriage, and The golden curtain helps us block the sun..."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, and you don't have to go to every place once." Brian shook his head slightly, and interrupted: "In that case, let's go to the market."

"Yeah." Kearney smiled and nodded in agreement, "Then let's go to the market square, where caravans from all over the world come here, where you can see as many wonderful things as the sea."

"Are you familiar with this place?" Brian walked through the streets with Curney out of curiosity.

In fact, he had visited Golden Feather City a long time ago.

Because this is a habit of his, whenever he appears in a strange place, he will do a detailed understanding in order to deal with various sudden dangers.

"Of course, just follow me."

Korni held Brian's hand, walked with light and cheerful steps, and said as she walked: "We are walking on the main road of Golden Feather City. This road is connected to two city gates, namely the main city gate. and the Griffin Gate to the Royal Palace. Follow this path and you will reach the Town Hall.

See that tower with the astrologer?It used to be a secluded place for a prophet. The tower was eerie and full of skeletons and specimens of various animals. Her divination tool turned out to be animal internal organs.

Three years ago, the fortune teller's mother-in-law accidentally fell down a staircase with only five steps while walking, and she fell to her death.My father said that this is the fate and final destination of the prophets, because they have peeked into the future and must pay the price for it..."

Brian nodded thoughtfully. The so-called prophets are nothing more than a group of sorcerers who have awakened the spells of the school of prophecy.

Although they mastered the most mysterious and unpredictable prophecy spells, in the face of such mysterious power that even legendary wizards could hardly control, let alone these half-assed prophets.

Therefore, the fate of these sorcerers who call themselves prophets, just as Kearney said, will always end their lives in a dramatic way.

From Brian's point of view, it was more like being cursed by some kind of doom.

In the Tegrila Palace, there also lived a prophet with a eccentric character.

It is said that when the prophet awakened the blood of the warlock, he left behind a congenital sequelae. When speaking, he would always be unable to control the saliva from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

As for whether it was true or not, Brian didn't know, because he had never met the other party at all, and he had never heard of Tigrila's prophet performing his duties.

"Where is that place?"

Brian pointed to a hotel not far away called 'Rose Drunk'. On the colorful signboard was a delicate rose inserted in a wine bottle, and he asked pretendingly ignorant.

"There is……."

Kearney followed Brian's gaze, was about to introduce, and realized something, blushed suddenly, then spit softly, took his hand, and buried her head away from the place.

"Let's go this way. We can take a shortcut from the fish market on this street." Kearney changed the route of the two of them so as not to pass by the hotel.

Looking at Kearney's shy look, Brian couldn't help but chuckle.

Thinking of the intimate behavior of the two in the tower, his already calm mind began to be a little restless. For a moment, he suddenly wanted to taste the sweetness of a woman.

As for the desire that grows in his heart, as a physically and psychologically normal man, he generally will not suppress it too deliberately as long as he has the conditions.

After all, he is used to staying away from hot beds and hot water, and he often sleeps in the open air. After returning to the town, satisfying his physical needs can not only relieve his tension and pressure, but also completely relax his body and mind. .

Of course, he has strong self-control, so he will not get carried away because of this kind of joy. For him, this is more like an embellishment in life.

If not, he would have taken down the beautiful and intelligent princess in front of him long ago.

Along with the faint smell of fish, Brian was brought to a small square surrounded by houses by Korni.

It was full of stalls and barrels of various sizes, all of which smelled strongly of fish.

The market was busy and noisy, the stall owners tried to raise their voices and yelled, and the customers who bargained for prices yelled even harder.

There are a few cats lying on the corner of the wall, wagging their tails and raising their heads proudly, pretending that they are not interested in fish at all.

"You seem to be familiar with this place." The two walked between the stalls, Brian took Corney into his arms, and helped her avoid the splash of a trout trying to escape from the barrel.

A black cat hiding in the corner with its head down and its back arched looked disappointed when it saw only a little splash of water in the barrel.

"Because I often sneaked out of the palace when I was a child." Kearney said happily: "I know every alleyway and every corner of the entire Golden Feather City like the back of my hand."

"Your royal father is not worried that you will get lost?"

Brian glared at the fishmonger who was going to brag to him about the quality of the live eel in his hand, then propped up a protective barrier to isolate the outside world, and looked at her in surprise, "You are so relieved to let you go out alone."

"There are snake eyes." Kearney took Brian's hand, covered her mouth and nose with the other hand, got into his protective barrier, and said with a smile:

"He can always think of a way to lure the guards away, let me slip out, and then protect me in secret. Even if I get lost, don't worry, he will take me back safely, so my father is very concerned about this matter. Just open one eye and close one eye.”

"That's true." Bryan showed a look of surprise.

Suddenly, there were curses from vendors and customers behind him. He subconsciously hugged Korni, turned his body, and miraculously avoided a child who stole a live eel and fell at his feet.

The black cat hiding in the corner leaped, like an arrow from the string, it precisely landed on the jumping eel, held it in its mouth, slipped under the child's crotch, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash.

Soon, Brian and Kearney walked through the chaotic fish market and came to a lively market square.

It occupies a large square, surrounded by stone and brick huts, livestock pens, and lime-powdered taverns.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the market, the previous fish market was as quiet as a temple.

"My childhood favorite was the bazaar, where the things, sounds and smells were so exotic, I used to stay there all afternoon, eating delicious snacks from the snack street and listening to the chaotic timbre of the bards , and sometimes you can see the four-armed gorilla from Sale, the manticore locked in an iron cage..."

Korni held Brian's arm with both hands and introduced the surrounding situation to him with a smile.

Even though it was crowded and noisy, Brian was like a parting reef in a torrent. When the crowd rushed towards him, it seemed to be affected by some kind of magic, and they all scattered from the left and right.

Seeing this scene, Kearni secretly praised the wonder of magic, and her body could not help clinging to his side.

Bryan nodded from time to time for Kearney's narration, as she said, there are all kinds of people from all over the continent gathered here:
The tall, white, and hairy Niluscans, the Florentines with dark skin and solemn expressions, the tall and powerful Tigreans, as well as the tropical jungles from Breland, etc. There are heroic female warriors with long braids and thorn whips wrapped around their waists, and there are even gloomy-faced and scary Sayers, because their hands, feet and chests are covered with black insect tattoos...

Brian looked around.

He saw an ogre slave carrying a heavy load of linen and fine woolen cloth in a dozen colors, followed by a fat cloth merchant from Amastacia.

At this moment, the cloth merchant was arguing with a local about the price of a certain blue cloth, and the ogre slave gasped impatiently with his mouth half open, without a single tooth in it.

Two half-elfs were selling gold accessories from Longshou Port, including rings, brooches, bracelets, and exquisitely carved saber-toothed tiger decorations that could be inlaid on belts. Kearney took his arm and moved to the booth, feeling very generous. I looked at it with interest.

Brian, on the other hand, looked at a dwarf armorer next to the half-elf booth with a professional eye.

This golden dwarf from the Kingdom of Thrane is showing off a steel breastplate carved with gold and silver, and a helmet made into griffins, falcons and other rare animals.

Cheers came from behind him, and Brian looked back subconsciously, just in time to see two dwarfs surrounded by the crowd activated a delicate wooden toy that could move independently on the ground.

Brian was not interested in the simple wind-up toys of dwarfs, so he leaned over to Kearney and asked, "Anyone you like?"

In his impression, the princess didn't like to wear jewelry.

Her whole body is decorated, except for the silver belt that binds the long skirt, there are only delicate silver rings on her wrists.

"No, I always feel familiar when I see the patterns on the accessories." Kearney shook her head slightly, and put back the golden medal in her hand.

"Because these patterns imitate the runes in elf magic, and you are just learning about magic." Brian tried to understand the reason and explained to her.

"That's it." Korni looked surprised.

At this moment, the two noticed a group of people gathering towards the podium in the square.

So he went with the flow.

A fat man in a white robe and holding the holy emblem of the Lord of Dawn stood on a wooden barrel and spoke to the crowd.

"The priest of the Lord of Dawn?" Kearni recognized his identity through the holy emblem.

"Do not."

Brian shook his head slightly, "This is a fake magic wand. It is impossible for the priest of the Lord of Dawn to lower his status and appear on this occasion."

"Then listen to what this magic stick will say." Kearney said curiously.

"I thought so too." Brian smiled.

"There is only one law in the world!"

The short and bloated magic stick roared: "That is the holy law of the gods! The whole world must obey this law, and all life living on the earth are the same!
Spells and magic are against divine law!All wizards are doomed to perish, the day of divine punishment is approaching, the whip of the gods will whip these evil wizards, and the wizard city in the Essebra Desert will also collapse under the divine punishment and be flooded with yellow sand all over the sky. Together with this group of..."

"Then we can step on the bones of the wizards and pick up the lost treasures in the ruins of the wizarding city." A dusty adventurer beside Brian whispered.

"So! While there is still time, I would like to advise everyone who is wandering on the edge of evil, stop testing the tolerance of the gods." The magic stick continued to shout:

"Guys, stop trusting wizards, and don't ask them for advice or help! Don't be fooled by their good looks and great eloquence, because truth be told, wizards are like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but rotting flesh and bones inside !"

"Looks like a godly dog, look at his spitting bear." A young wine dealer commented: "He is so at odds with wizards, he must have been robbed of his wife by the wizard, or even licked the toes of the sorceress." I don't even have the qualifications, so I deliberately framed it like this."

"No wonder so." His friend echoed:

"Look at his appearance. His eyes are as small as a tight asshole, his belly almost hangs down to his knees, and he is as soft as a pile of mud. He finally has a face with oval seeds, and he has fallen down. The wizard. They are much more pleasing to the eye than him. As for the sorceresses, oh, they are more beautiful..."

"That's because these evil wizards and sorceresses sold their souls to devils and demons in exchange for beauty and vanity." The adventurer curled his lips in disdain.

"You stupid outsider!" A native of Jinyu City said:

"If it weren't for the first batch of wizards who came out of the tower thousands of years ago, your ass would have been full of elf arrows. Thanks to them, you can wander around! You can eat enough!"

"The elves say that their arrows never shoot people's buttocks. That's because when you meet them, you always like to hide your head first, but you forget to hide your buttocks."

A dwarf carrying a hammer said; "As the elves said, their own buttocks took the initiative to meet them, so they belched."

"Elf." A tall female elf with blond hair and long hair said coldly, "I've never used such vulgar words."

At this time, Brian and Kearney had already walked out of the crowd.

This time they came to the middle of the square.

Bryan heard drums beating and shouts for silence.

While the crowd showed no sign of being quiet, the announcer on the wooden platform paid no heed.

He has a big, well-trained voice and knows how to use it.

"Everyone! Tell the people around you."

The announcer said loudly: "The elf Carlot who lives in Saiyan Village has been wanted. Although he killed the two evil elves Radiz and Nappa in the Dusk Forest who tried to persuade him to join him, he ignored Against the objection of his companions, he let go of another evil elf, Vegeta, and provided him with food and horses.

Whoever can catch him will be rewarded fifty gold coins.Anyone who dares to provide food or shelter to the evil spirits will be regarded as an accomplice and suffer the same punishment.If the evil elf is hiding in any village and is caught, all villagers will pay a fine..."

"Nappa wasn't killed by Carlot. This unlucky guy was killed by his companion, the evil elf Vegeta. It's so cruel that he even killed his own companion." Someone in the crowd shouted:

"Radiz wasn't killed by Carlot, he was killed by his friend Piccolo."

Another whispered, "I know his friend. He's a smart, cunning forest troll. He's all green. He earns his living by collecting bridge tolls. He can grow back his arms when he cuts them off."

"Then why did he let the elf go?" Someone asked.

"Because of true love..."

"I don't think it's interesting here. Let's go outside the city to relax." Brian walked out of the crowd and suggested to the princess beside him.

He really couldn't stay any longer, because people here either discriminated against wizards or discussed non-human races.

Obviously, as a wizard and half-elf, he didn't like to hear these boring topics.

"Yeah." Kearney understood Brian's meaning from his eyes, nodded slightly, and walked out of the city with him.

Coming out of the city, a fresh breeze blows towards his face. Having had enough of the dirty and heavy atmosphere in the square, Brian can finally breathe the fresh air to his heart's content.

He took Kearni to a hillside, facing the bright sunshine, lying on the grass together, enjoying the rare peace.

Brian suppressed his worries about the ancient evils and the undead sect, and talked with the princess beside him about his affairs in the Elven Holy Land and the Tegrila Palace.

There is even a life in the game world after his processing and modification.

Especially for the Green Grass Festival, Midsummer Festival, Harvest Festival, Moon Festival, and finally Midwinter Festival that I spend every year in the game.

Before he knew it, Brian found himself talking about the day he left Tegrila ten years ago.

It made him realize that in this world, he had never told his story to anyone.

He didn't even understand why he suddenly opened his heart at this moment, but he knew that it felt really good to say it.
