I, the retired legend, were forced to go ashore

But his hands hugged her arm even more tightly, experiencing the amazing softness of the body.

Of course, Deep Shadow could choose to make a bed on the floor in that small bedroom, but she didn't want to do that, she just liked to watch Ada fall asleep little by little in front of her.

Then touch it again, get close to my friend, lie in her arms, smell her body, and fall asleep peacefully.

Then he was woken up and repeated the above steps N times.

In the end, the anger came to the fore, and they couldn't bear it anymore. They launched revenge and hurt each other.

"This potted plant is pretty good. It has a unique shape. It must look good in the hall."

Deep Shadow suddenly pointed at the street vendor selling flowers, with longing in his eyes.

Elves are creatures that love nature, and in the head of Chimera, there is nothing related to nature except for the big tree in the backyard where the mouse family lives.

She put down her friend who had already fallen asleep, and trot over to inquire about the price.

But immediately shook his head and walked back in small steps.

She supported her friend, carefully hugged her arm, and said with some reluctance: "It's a bit expensive, so forget it, let's go."

"Expensive? Don't be afraid." Ada put her arms around the elf's shoulders, pushed her back and walked back: "Now that we have money, we can buy what we need."

"This potted plant, send me to the head of Chimera in the poor street, how much?"

The girl talked to the vendor, and then grandly took out her wallet, ready to pay.

She still has the huge sum of money she got after slaughtering Crown Prince Hussein last night.

"Oh, miss, you have a good eye. This is the treasure of our store. I chose a mother-child tree in the center of the misty forest. It has a classic shape and a self-circulating effect. It can also purify the indoor air..."

When the merchant saw the business coming, he quickly tied up the potted plant that was as tall as a person, and introduced it swiftly.

"Stop talking nonsense, how much!"

Ada felt that her current appearance must be ruffian and handsome.

Otherwise, the stupid elf next to him would not look at him with adoring and grateful eyes.

"1000 crowns."

The vendor stopped introducing immediately and looked over expectantly.

Ada suddenly understood the feelings of those guests who were slaughtered by her at that time.

Such a broken tree is so expensive! ?

Her heart was bleeding, but she didn't hesitate on the outside, and took out a few big tickets from her wallet nonchalantly: "Take it!"

Deep Shadow is still looking at him!

It must not show heartache, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Does every man think this way when he pretends to be magnanimous in front of women and spends money?

Ada didn't know.

But she knew that in the next month, she might have to be a vegetarian.

"Thunder, thank you."

Shen Ying hugged him up again, and thanked him sincerely, with a grateful light shining in his eyes.

She knew that her friend must be worried that she was not used to living in a bustling city and away from nature, so she was willing to spend a lot of money on this kind of thing.

That's exactly what Ada thinks.

But she didn't expect that the price of this thing was so high.

So high that she didn't even feel sleepy anymore.

She took the elf's hand and dragged her towards the familiar wine merchant's location.

We must quickly settle the purchase matters, and then go home immediately to catch up on sleep, and we must not hang out outside.

The expenses are too high, she can't afford to go shopping!

"Boss, three barrels of ale, one barrel of rum and one barrel of pine nuts! There are also two bottles of these."

Ada greeted the wine merchant, and at the same time handed over the list in her hand—these were the ingredients she needed to make cocktails.

Seeing the reappearance of the white-haired girl whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the boss greeted him happily: "Miss Ada, you are back, shall I give you a [-]% discount today?"

While greeting the girl, the boss took the order from her. After a little calculation, he quoted a price that was much higher than before: "457... let's say 450 crowns, cash or cash on delivery?"

"Wait a minute, why is it so expensive!?" Ada immediately widened her eyes and knocked on the table: "Your price is almost as high as that of craft wine. Forget, I want the worst quality."

She is a tavern specially serving the poor, so she doesn't need to sell wine of too high quality.

"The price has increased, don't you know?"

Holding the list, the boss explained in a low voice: "There was a fight over the Widow River, and it was said that the enemy was going to the big granary in Windhelm's Hollow, so now almost all food prices are increasing."

As a kind of grain brewing product, wine is naturally also in the ranks of price increases.

Moreover, this product cannot satisfy one's hunger and hunger, and consumes a lot of materials, and the price rise is even more fierce. Some wine merchants have even begun to implement a strategy of reluctance to sell.

Ada breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and waved her hands: "The fight over the Widow River is over. I know this too well. In a few days, you won't be able to afford the price."

"You girl's family, where can I go..." The boss didn't refute, but whispered: "It takes at least three or four days to travel from here to the Widow River."

"Tch, believe it or not." Ada pointed to the written shopping list: "Let me halve the items on it first."

The price of wine will drop in a few days, and it will be more appropriate to buy it by yourself at that time.

Just as he was talking, another clerk ran up to the owner of the wine merchant and whispered to him, talking anxiously.

"Just a moment."

The boss made a gesture, turned back to the inner hall, and quickly came out again, rather embarrassed, said: "This... sorry, Miss Ada, I am afraid that these things will cost about 700 crowns."

"No, wait a minute, why is your price fluctuating so much, Bitcoin is also more stable than it!"

Ada was a little confused.

This is what happened, and the price of food, which had already doubled, could directly double again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ada, we just got the news that the fire in Windhelm's Deep burned for a whole night, and it hasn't been extinguished until now..."

The boss explained: "This is information from the palace, so it should be true. To be honest, after finishing your business, we will close the business."

Chapter 134. Scary obsession

Ada was in the lobby of the tavern, looking at the few remaining barrels of wine and sighing.

This is what she bought at a huge price, and it may also be the last batch of wine sold by wine merchants in the entire White Harbor.

She didn't know how to deal with it.

If you sell it at the original price, you will lose money and sell it at a high price. In such a place where the poor gather, few people can afford it.

But these are not the main problems.

Now, should the leader of the Chimera still be open for business?

A tavern without alcohol, how can it attract customers?

"Ada, it's not good. I heard that the kingdom's army was defeated, and even Windhelm's Valley was burned. Hurry up to grab food. The rice shops around are all sold out!"

The blacksmith on the corner hurried over to inform the neighbors of the breaking news.

Ada smiled, noncommittal.

It is impossible for the kingdom's army to be defeated. Where are they going now?Maybe not even half the way.

And she can be sure that the Koriyama rebels must have been defeated.

As for the fire in Windhelm's Valley, there may be other reasons—maybe other forces took advantage of the opportunity that the Windhelm's Valley army had no time to attend to, and took advantage of it.

Seeing that Ada was still guarding the wine barrels, the blacksmith rushed in and wanted to drag her out: "What are you doing just looking at the wine, that thing can't satisfy your hunger!"

Ada took a step back, dodged the blacksmith's pull, waved her hand, and sighed desolately:

"Oh, it's okay, I don't lack food."

As she spoke, she pointed to the elf in the corner of the hall, sitting cross-legged next to the potted plant, practicing magic.

Not only does she have deep shadows here, but Triss's natural magic has also shown her talent. At least she can use magic to produce enough food for a family of three, and there may be some surplus.

"Oh...yes, I forgot about that."

The blacksmith nodded, then hurriedly turned around and walked out, saying as he walked, "Then don't bother, I have to go to the old district to see if there is any grain for sale there."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to help the neighbors."

A girl's voice came softly from behind him.

"Thank you then!"

The blacksmith paused, then turned around again, bowed solemnly to the girl, and corrected, "It should be said that all the people on our street are entrusted to you."

"Hey, okay, try your best."

Ada sat back on the wine barrel, feeling extremely lonely.

I am going to change from a wine seller to a rice seller.

And it is very likely that these grains are not profitable.

"Are you making too much of a fuss?"

Shen Ying, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, opened his eyes, very puzzled by the behavior of Ada and the blacksmith:

"It's just that there is a lack of food production land. When I traveled in the south, I saw many countries fall into war, but I never had one like yours. Is it too desperate?"

Deep Shadow didn't stay in the north for long, so he didn't know the customs here.

But Ada has lived here for a long time, and has experienced a bad harvest before, and fully understands what this means in the north.

But this time the situation was worse than a bad harvest.

"It is the only grain-producing area missing."

Ada explained: "Food production in the north is low, and the entire four provinces of Jianjue all point to the natural terrain of Windhelm Valley for food, and the timing of the fire is also worth pondering."

Now it's almost time for the autumn harvest.

At this time, it was the time when the green and the yellow were not connected, and a clever slap in the face brought the whole kingdom into crisis.

If the perpetrators of this conspiracy do not take the opportunity to do something, they will be sorry for this strategy.

"What should I do?"

As a forest elf, Deep Shadow had never experienced a famine year, so he was at a loss at this moment.

Ada snorted coldly: "What else can I do? I'll go to the palace and order some vegetable seeds, and we'll deal with it. Anyway, I won't be hungry."

The efficiency of using magic to spawn plants is very low. If you want to provide sufficient rations, unless there are hundreds of nine-ring natural mages like Tree Heart who cast spells continuously.

But this is obviously impossible.

"But, I want to eat meat!"

Deep Shadow was very unhappy.

Animal husbandry needs to eat food to grow up, and now people can't get enough to eat, so who would bother with that?

"Looking so barren, what kind of meat do you eat? Do you eat Xiaobai?"

As Ada said, she woke up the white crystal ferret who was sleeping on her stomach on the counter, pointed at the elf, and ordered: "Go play cute!"

Xiaobai got the order, jumped off the ground, got close to the elf and started rolling around.

Deep Shadow looked at it for a long time, then raised his head and sighed:

"I heard you curse me for being barren earlier, and I wanted to beat you... But seeing that you have trained the white crystal ferret to such a virtue, I don't think it should be regarded as a mental illness."

"Oh." Ada didn't take it seriously, and retorted: "Is your poverty a curse, don't you have any points in your heart?"

"Um-"

The elf meditated several times to calm down in his heart, but he couldn't hold back after all, stood up and wanted to ravage his friend.

While grabbing the protrusions of her body and twisting and twisting, watching her flushed and gritting her teeth desperately to resist, it was quite interesting.

While Ada shrunk her body, there was also a hint of expectation hidden in her heart.
