quicksilver blood

Chapter 247
Compared with other areas, the Second Ring Road is the most peaceful place in Baita and the most like the life of outsiders.

Because the second ring road is relatively close to the core area, the area here is not large.Because it may affect the study of wizard apprentices, the wizards of the scientific research department will not place the research institute on the second ring.

After all, the development of witchcraft items is basically inseparable from explosions, earthquakes, and various forms of pollution.The wizards in these scientific research departments basically have teaching positions. As teachers, they don't want their students to be distracted by this reason.

Therefore, the most popular ones in the Second Ring Road are all kinds of entertainment and catering stores.Because many apprentice wizards from the outside world can't bear the boring early stage of practicing witchcraft, these stores that mainly cater to apprentice wizards can make a lot of money.

After all, people who have no money don't come to learn witchcraft.Conversely, the family conditions for learning witchcraft are not bad.

You know, one of the conditions for learning witchcraft is that the blood attribute is high enough, and the second is to like to read books since childhood, and you can only get the personal characteristics of being able to read the whole book.

This means that the family is at the level of scholars or declining nobles at the very least.There is even a high possibility that parents or grandparents also have the experience of learning witchcraft.

So these stores are very different from the outside world.They take a high-end route, and both the decoration and the quality of the food are much better than similar stores.

The price of their food is at least three times higher than the normal price, not to mention the various non-alcoholic drinks. A banquet can easily cost the income of an ordinary businessman's family in the outside world for more than a year.Wizard apprentices are prohibited from drinking. For those apprentices from Suze, it is basically more difficult to get a bottle of wine than to get the same weight of drugs.

"Fiery Calista" is the only bar in the second ring road.

It was noon now, and the people who drank all night here last night had dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory, but today's guests had not yet arrived.

It's the time when a bar is at its least crowded—or, to put it simply, when there's no one in it.

"excuse me."

While the two waitresses on duty were idle and chatting, a man in a long trench coat slowly stepped in from the door, and bowed politely to apologize.

His nondescript behavior immediately made the two young girls laugh.

"Please give me two pancakes, one masala fish, one creamy soup, and one vegetable salad, thank you."

It's like treating this place as a restaurant——

His gentle demeanor, which was completely at odds with the bar, aroused the curiosity of the two girls.

Involuntarily, the two of them raised their heads and looked at the person in front of them carefully.

The first impression is the profound facial features unique to Bansa people.

As if staring at you all the time, it is more similar to a sexy three-dimensional face than delicate.

If you take a closer look, you will see the calm temperament of a researcher in his 30s who has been reading various classics all year round.

His height of nearly 1.9 meters is a bit tall for a bantha. His hair color is platinum gold, which is close to pure gold, and his pupils are extremely clear lake blue.A pure temperament like a holy son made him seem almost out of the human category, more like the kind of statue that would be placed in a library.

There was no cape over his long brown trench coat, and no cape behind him.And his cuffs are the kind of fluffy and loose sleeves that the Bantha people like to use, and the trouser legs are the tighter ones, and the trousers are stuffed into the calfskin boots.

Generally speaking, he feels more like the kind of bard who was more popular ten years ago, who would challenge a bully with a sword, harp, and book.

Not very handsome, but exactly the kind of person that is lacking in today's White Tower.

The eyes of the two girls couldn't help but shine.

One of the long-haired girls glanced at him reluctantly, and was quietly kicked under the table by her female companion.So she had no choice but to stare at her and went to the back kitchen to prepare food.

The remaining girl with short hair is obviously more lively.

She bouncing towards the man, but before she could speak, she heard the man say apologetically, "Sorry... I have never been to this kind of place. If you say something wrong, please forgive me." Forgive me."

"You are really interesting..."

The short-haired girl's eyes widened in surprise, and then burst out laughing: "Ordinary people will pretend to have been here even if they really haven't been here. How can you be so cowardly in front of girls?" ?”

"I just think there's no need to lie about this kind of thing."

The tall man smiled slightly, and his voice was calm and ancient: "If you know it, you know it, if you don't know it, you don't know it, even if you pretend to be great, it won't change anything... On the contrary, you may be lying When it is exposed, it becomes the laughing stock of everyone."

"...I found that you seem to like to teach people."

"It's probably a habit."

The man immediately showed a sincere apology: "If what I said made you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize..."

"Okay, okay, there's no need to be so serious when you talk, right? It's just a joke... By the way, are you a new teacher? In fact, we are all wizard apprentices, and maybe someday we can be in class Met you!"

The man just looked at the short-haired girl with a sad smile and kept saying something next to him.

Suddenly, he said, "You're a good girl."

A crisp straight ball.

The short-haired waitress just crashed.

She was stunned for about three or four seconds, then said incoherently with a red face: "You, what are you talking about? This is the first time we have met, so this is really..."

"No. It has nothing to do with how many times we meet."

The man shook his head gently, and interrupted the stammering waitress: "How a person's temperament is, the first meeting and the first conversation should be revealed. How is the usual upbringing and how is the style of doing things?" , has been deeply integrated into a person's every move."

"You are a good girl, I can tell. You are cheerful, pure, and have no evil intentions. You like to help others, and at the same time, you have the restraint that a girl should have—a good girl who is as clean as a piece of paper."

Having said that, he sighed and murmured: "So, you shouldn't appear here..."

The short-haired girl became anxious immediately.

She said angrily: "What's the matter with me here? The boss is a good person. This is not the filthy bar outside. It's full of wizard apprentices who come to work. People who come to drink will also be scruples to study all night. Apprentice wizards who are studying will not make too much noise... Everyone is a good person."

The man just listened quietly, with a more compassionate and gentle light in his eyes.

"Yes. We are all good people, but we just came to the wrong place... No, maybe you are right, and we may not be wrong either... Who knows."

He sighed a third time.

—What a weirdo.

The short-haired waitress defined him.It just so happened that the long-haired girl made a salad and came out with two pancakes, so the man took advantage of the opportunity to find a seat and sat down without speaking.

"Hey! Weird! What's your name!"

"Hey? Lily, why are you so rude!"

"It's really a weird person because..."

The man did not blame the two people who were fighting, but looked at them with loving eyes like an old man.

He was not at all surprised by the sudden question.He just spoke softly, and his steady voice echoed in the small bar: "Xila. My name is Xila."

"——If it's okay, I suggest you go out for a trip these few days, good girls."
