Not a Witch

This is actually easy to understand, that is, the person who can kill the most and fight the most is not necessarily suitable to be a ruler.Besides, there are many legal problems. Is it because of his strong personal strength that the whole world should listen to him?If a martial arts tournament is held every day, does it mean that the ruler has to be changed every day?

Considering that the environment and scenes faced by the Mercury Dynasty in the past cannot be replicated, Chifeng finally adopted the ancient blood inheritance.In this way, at least in a peaceful and prosperous age, the entire social system can be stabilized, and there will be no major disturbances.However, in many institutions that enforce their rights, they have launched a talent selection and assessment mechanism to screen a large number of people.

Of course, in order to make the successor ruler not too bad, Chi Feng would sometimes personally teach and observe his behavior.

Walking among the high-rise buildings in the academy, Lorraine Hill recalled the oriental knowledge books he had read in Emenas, most of which described the huge dynasty of the East with admiration, and envied such a vast land, people and environment.

In fact, the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East was indeed very strong, and many of its skills were slightly better than those in the West. Walking on the streets of Luojing, one can feel an open and proud temperament.

On Central Avenue, the ground is paved with light gray and blue stone slabs, which can probably accommodate eight carriages at the same time. There should have been some patterns carved on the stone slabs, but after years of trampling and rain, they have already become round and smooth. There are many small potholes, these are the traces left by the horseshoes and wheels.

Shops of different heights and shapes and styles are set up on both sides of the street, which is dazzling and dizzying.

Some of them come from Sixteen Continents in the southwest, with ancient vines and purple flowers on both sides of the store door, and a lot of brown-red and deep purple lacquerware inside. There are few carvings, oil paintings, poetry collections, etc. Some of them are green at first glance, and are entwined with red and green roses and vines. There are many complicated and exquisite dresses inside, and some oriental girls will go in and try them on.

Others include ice wall sculptures, ice elf shops decorated with crystal pendants, lilies and spider plants, forest elf shops selling fragrant fruit wine and accessories, and many people in the remote Berry Islands also set up shops here, selling all kinds of colorful and bright shells. Goldfish, glassware, etc.

Walking on the main street of Luojing, like visiting the World Expo, Lorraine Hill looked at the surrounding buildings curiously and surprised.She originally thought that there were fewer foreigners in Luojing. Among them, not to mention the people from the Western Continent wearing dresses, mage robes, and western-style skirts, she also met several forest elves and ice elves that were hard to see.

Judging from the reactions of the people around him, it seems that they have already seen the strangeness, and they will not be too surprised.

"Welcome~ What do you need?"

Pushing open the door made of blue glass and yellow wood, Lorraine Hill walked into a bookstore, and the clerk in the store walked quickly.

She was wearing an oriental-style frosty white cross-neck skirt with blue prints on the collar and sleeves, but her reddish eyes and golden hair showed that she should come from the Western Continent, perhaps From the verdant territory.

"I want to find some books to read." Lorraine Hill looked at the store. There were already a few customers visiting here, but everyone was relatively quiet.

"Okay, if you want to find what kind of book, you can ask me." Seeing Lorraine Hill speak, the clerk nodded with a smile, and then did not continue to follow, but let him browse by himself.

"Jiujiu." (Hungry)

Dai Ju expressed his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the silver-haired girl visiting the bookstore instead of eating first. She squatted on Lorraine Hill's shoulder and honked a few times, attracting some people's attention.

"So cute~" A young girl seemed to like such fluffy birds very much.

"It looks very powerful?" The older man next to him nodded slightly, as if he had noticed that this bird had the strength of a Sequence 4.

"It's probably very expensive, and I don't know where I can buy it. Why haven't I heard of it before?" A nobleman wearing a blue background and gold embroidered brocade muttered. This person seems to be a person who often visits flower and bird shops.

Walking among the bookcases, Lorraine Hill scanned them one by one, then stopped in front of a bookshelf, bent over and took out a thick-bound book.

Open the thick book, flip it gently, and touch the clear and precipitated handwriting on it, and the delicate touch of the page is also transmitted from the fingertips.

"The blue bird holds the branch, and the country is born after falling"

This book tells the history of the rise and fall of the five countries on the Wulian Mountains. Among them, the blue bird refers to the Qingluan, the phoenix of five virtues. These five countries were more or less influenced by the blue bird lineage in the process of birth. , their customs, culture, and practice methods are quite similar.

Under the influence of the witch of the Phoenix, the Eastern Continent gradually became civilized from the barbaric, and the five witches she raised, namely the Phoenix of Five Virtues, also deeply influenced the establishment of these countries on the mainland.

After flipping through it for a while, Lorraine Hill temporarily closed the book, hugged it in front of him, and continued walking.

She won't be able to finish reading the books in a while, so I'd better pick a few and buy them first, and study them carefully when I go back, and she also noticed that the chrysanthemum on her shoulder couldn't sit still, walking around with her feet, reminding her all the time Girl, it's time to eat.

"How much are these books?"

After a rough walk around, Lorraine Hill picked out 4 books and placed them in front of the counter to inquire.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." The clerk who said hello just now stood at the counter, wrote down the title of the book, and then flipped through the booklet on the side to find the price recorded in it.

"A total of 4 gold dishes and 62 silver rings."

The price is expensive, Lorraine Hill thought silently, and then took out five golden golden bird and dragon dishes from the small cloth bag at the waist and put them on the table.

"Okay, I'll find some money for you." The girl seemed to have the strength of Natural Sequence 3. After quickly checking the gold dish, a slight smile appeared on her face, then she opened the drawer, took out the 38 silver rings for change and placed them on the In front of the girl.

Then she packed the silver rings in a small gray velvet pouch and handed them to Lorraine Hill along with the book.

"Welcome again~"

"Hmm. Can I ask why the price is so expensive, it's my first time here."

"It's true that you will be surprised when you come here for the first time, but many things in Luojing are more expensive. In addition, the price of these books is not only the production cost, but also the remuneration cost for the writers in our bookstore."

"Although the books are very good, there are not many people who buy each single type. If the price is lower, the income of those who write the books will be very small. After a long time, it will be difficult to come across good-looking books. Already." The clerk briefly explained the reason.

"No wonder..." Lorraine Hill expressed understanding.

Seeing that the silver-haired girl was so reasonable, the clerk seemed to be quite happy, and then talked about other things.

"Actually, the price of some books related to cultivation will be cheaper, because there are more people who buy them, and the cost can be shared. And some books that have nothing to do with cultivation, fewer people buy them. Although the author has put in a lot of effort, the profit Not much money, and in order to sustain it, we had to increase the price."

"As a matter of fact, our Golden Leaf Bookstore has branches in several big cities, and it is very difficult to do so in other small cities. This is also the reason." The blond girl touched her chin with her finger, thinking about the situation encountered by the bookstore.

...

"Perhaps one day everyone will not have to worry about cultivation, can eat enough and wear warm clothes, and have leisure time to read these 'useless' books, so that the prices will gradually become cheaper."

......

"You said that such a scene is a peaceful and prosperous world. It seems to be true. But it is impossible now. Many places in the world are still suffering from disasters. Many people can't even eat enough. Naturally, they don't have much interest in reading. "

...

"Are you asking me? My parents used to be from Green Emerald Empire, but I grew up in the East, so I'm familiar with it. I studied at Dongchan Academy, and now I'm a student of Qingxiu. If you want to hold a job, you must at least pass the silver embroidery exam, which is still far behind, and there are blue embroidery and purple embroidery on top of it."

...

"Hehe, thank you for your encouragement. But Jinxiu is still too far away from me. With that kind of ability, I guess it is not a problem to join the door-to-door sect, and it will be more free than public office."

In this way, Lorraine Hill did not leave immediately, but communicated with this girl who grew up near Luojing for a long time, and learned a lot about the Plantagenet Dynasty.

Jiujiu~ (when to eat)

Chapter 120 The Maiden Captain

Walking out of this Golden Leaf Bookstore, Lorraine Hill has an extra bag in his hand, which contains the books he just bought.

Looking at the sky surrounded by the tall eaves, it was probably not long after noon, and Lorraine Hill was also looking for a place to eat.

Although she saw many familiar western restaurants along the way, she wanted to try Luojing's oriental dishes this time.After walking and stopping on the street for a while, I finally stopped at an octagonal treasure building.

This treasure building is eight stories high, and it is built with light cherry and white stone bricks as a whole. The eaves are paved with blue tiles, and pieces of white jade are hung under the eaves.The light gray lines on these stone slices look very beautiful, roughly in the shape of a rhombus, hanging in a line along the eaves, and when the wind blows, they will make a clear sound, like water hitting a rock in a mountain, letting People feel comfortable.

After entering the treasure building, several waiters in light white clothes came over, asked the girl a while, and then led the girl to the third floor.

"This way please, the third floor will be quieter."

The girl then stepped onto the stairs and walked upstairs step by step.

Not long after sitting down, the waiter brought a menu with the name of the dish written in various colored notes, and next to it was small black characters, introducing the ingredients and characteristics of the dish.

The girl opened this relatively new booklet, and was soon surprised by the complicated names and types of dishes.Among these recipes, there are not only common vegetarian dishes such as rice, porridge, dim sum, preserved meat, sauce, dishes, and soup, but also meat dishes such as broiled, smoked, roasted, fried, steamed, boiled, and mixed.The range of materials used also ranges from pastoral side dishes to rare delicacies from mountains and seas, and there are even more than a dozen dishes with extraordinary efficacy written on the back.

It should be said that Luojing is worthy of it. As the most prosperous city of the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is also the city where the dignitaries gather the most. The food here is rich in food that many people have never imagined.

Looking at the dazzling menu, Lorraine Hill put it together for the time being, and then asked directly.

"Do you have any seasonal dishes to introduce recently? Another bowl of stir-fried beans is served. The little guy next to me is also hungry."

"Okay, it's really autumn yellow crab fat recently, what do you think?"

Crab? Lorraine Hill remembered the scene of catching sea crabs with Keti last time. Although the taste was okay, it didn't feel like there was much meat.

"It's better to change it." The girl shook her head.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus mandarin fish soup, what do you think?"

The mandarin fish has tender meat, delicious taste, less thorns, more meat, and rich nutrition. It is a relatively rare fish in the dynasty and is loved by many people.

"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then, on the recommendation of the waiter, ordered a small plate of gold and silver sandwiched flowers.

"This is also made of fresh crabs, but only crab roe and crab meat are used, so you don't need to work hard to remove the shells, so it's more convenient to eat." He introduced one after another.

"Well, that's all." The girl nodded, and then sat quietly at the table and waited.

Because after the meal time, the third floor will be relatively clean, only three or four tables are occupied, and other places are empty. Lorraine Hill can easily overlook the bustling street below from the window position.

Various styles of carriages run through the streets. In addition to common trucks, there are also many expensive carriages, many of which are made of high-quality sandalwood, carved with complicated patterns, and scaled dragon-drawn carriages, which are very luxurious. .

The sky above the head is not empty either, there are often riders riding giant dragons passing through the clouds and parading in the sky above.These elite dragonriders, wearing bright red armor, are all above Sequence 5 in strength. Humans and dragons unite to fight together, and can easily deal with monsters of Sequence 6. When riding, also can feel strenuous.

The Scarlet Sparrow Dragonriders are the forbidden army directly under the royal family. It is because of their existence that this huge city with millions of people and countless hidden extraordinary people can always maintain a relatively good state of law and order.

Just when Lorraine Hill was a little bored waiting, there was a noise from the street below, and she couldn't help turning her eyes.

A group of people with special appearance and clothes walked on the street. These people were tall, strong, and their bones seemed to be much thicker. They looked a head taller than the surrounding pedestrians.Their faces and shoulders are painted with red or white paint, and most of the clothes they wear are also made of animal skins, which are convenient for activities and relatively cool.

"Did you see that group of tanned people over there?" Residents on the street whispered.

"I see, where did these people come from, and why is their physique so different from ours?" the companion asked.

"It seems that you have stayed in Luojing not long ago. These people are probably from Baiman Continent, and their bloodlines are quite different from our Luojing hinterland."

"Baimanzhou, I don't know much about that place, I just heard that there are a lot of monsters."

"That's true, but the Transcendents who grew up in such an environment are also extraordinarily fierce. There's even a family born there."

"Come to the door, this is impossible, there are only 130 door-to-door companies in 36 four continents in the world, which one is not rich in heritage. How can there be door-to-door in such a remote corner." The companion shook his head quickly.

"Oh...it's not easy to explain, but it's true." Afterwards, the two quietly backed away and watched the group of people pass by from afar.

Lorraine Hill hugged Dai Juniao and looked at the group of people. All of them were above the fifth level in strength, most of them were demon sequence or war sequence, and the leading man had extremely strong power in his body. Just like a dragon and an elephant, stepping through the streets makes people fearful.

Baimanzhou, I seem to have heard of it, so they should come from Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains.Lorraine Hill recalled Gu Lie's recent introduction. Although Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountain is not well-known in the hinterland of the Central Plains, as one of the door-to-door, the members of the faction are extremely tenacious, and they fight endlessly, which is amazing.

"Hi, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus mandarin fish soup you ordered, and the honeysuckle sandwiched with flowers."

A waitress carefully serves the dishes, then lifts the lids of white porcelain vessels to reveal steaming fish soup.

A mandarin fish is lying in it, the surrounding soup is like milk, it smells faintly of sweet-scented osmanthus, if you touch it with chopsticks, you can find tender and smooth cubes in the soup, similar to jelly, but it tastes delicious Tofu is similar.Some green scallions are sprinkled in the soup to garnish it.

Next to it is a stack of honeysuckle flowers, which are said to be steamed with ginger and crab, and then the crab roe and crab meat are taken out.Then knead the dough into a ball, then flatten it, spread the crab roe and crab meat on it, roll it up and cut it into strips, and cut it into small pieces.Finally, these flat sections are steamed in a steamer and placed on a plate.

After arranging the two plates, another waiter brought a small table that had shrunk many times, and placed it on the chair next to the girl, and then placed a large bowl of stir-fried beans on the small table, bursting with fragrance. Come out.

"Please use it slowly." After that, the two stepped back slowly.

Lorraine Hill looked at the two dishes, and before he moved the spoon, Dai Ju in his arms couldn't sit still. He jumped out with fluttering wings, came to the chair prepared for it, tilted his head to look at the bowl of beans, and then Just pecked up.

It is good at flames, and it is not afraid of being hot. It seems to be more enjoyable to eat while it is hot. After one bite, it will not be able to stop. If it is not limited by the body structure, you have to raise your head to swallow from time to time, and I am afraid that you will bury your head in the bowl.

"Slow down, don't be in such a hurry." Lorraine Hill said softly, and then slowly tasted it himself.

First drink a few sips of mellow fish soup, then use chopsticks to pick up a small section of gold and silver, and the soft, glutinous and delicious touch will be conveyed on the tip of the tongue.
