Chapter 244
……
"That..." After a while, Lin Tianlang couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere anymore, so he took the initiative to break the silence.
"Today's weather feels very good... It's really suitable for an outing..." Lin Tianlang scratched his hair and said this. He really couldn't think of a topic to talk about.
However, the weather today is indeed very good, the sun is shining and the air is very fresh, which is indeed very suitable for traveling.
"Haha..." Xu Weiwei covered her mouth and laughed: "Your ability to find topics is too bad, right?" the silver-haired girl joked.
"Ahaha..." Aniya also laughed, her smile a little shy. Sherry lowered her head and also showed a shallow smile.
"There is nothing I can do. If you don't say anything, what else can I do?" Lin Tianlang said innocently. This is often the case. As long as someone starts the conversation, the awkward atmosphere will soon be broken.
For example, right now, Lin Tianlang and Xu Weiwei said something to each other, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became much more relaxed.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the four people here is actually quite extraordinary. Everyone has experienced adventures in the underground palace together, and they have all gone through the test of life and death together. The relationship can no longer be summarized as ordinary friends.
The car drove slowly on the road and soon drove out of the city of St. Lent. Through the car window, Lin Sirius saw the tall city wall surrounding St. Lunt City. Lin Sirius estimated that the height of the wall was as high as a five-story building and almost five meters thick.
Although this is not the location of the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, due to the existence of St. Lund Magic Academy and the heritage of St. Lunt City itself, this city is one of the most prosperous cities in the magical world, and its defense power is also quite excellent. An important town. Whether it is demons or orcs, it is not too difficult to break into this city.
"I've always been curious. In the magic world, any town of any size is surrounded by city walls. What exactly are you trying to protect against?" Lin Tianlang asked.
Xu Weiwei and Aniya, who also came from the human world, couldn't answer this question, so everyone's attention was focused on Sheris.
"The magic world is not as peaceful as you think. Although there has been no large-scale war for a long time, the existence of demons, orcs and monsters is always a threat, so no one dares to completely relax their vigilance." Sherry said softly. explained.
Lin Tianlang has already dealt with demons, but he has never seen orcs and monsters with his own eyes. He has only learned about them in class and books.
"What about you?" Lin Tianlang looked into Sherry's eyes and asked.
"Us?" Sheris was a little confused. She was a little shy when Lin Tianlang looked at her, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look into Lin Tianlang's eyes.
"This is the territory of your elves. Isn't your hometown in the Crescent Forest? That's where the elves live together." Lin Tianlang said, "Do you also have such fortifications?"
"No, we don't." Sheris shook her head: "We elves rely on the forest, and these fortifications cause too much damage to the forest, which goes against the original intention of our race."
"It sounds very consistent with the way your elves behave." Lin Tianlang nodded: "Then how do you resist foreign enemies? If there are any."
"Around the forest, we will arrange a device called a 'wind chime'. If there is an invasion from outside, we will know it immediately. And in the north of the forest, there is a clan of tree people guarding it. If there is really an enemy coming, If they commit any crime, our elven warriors will definitely make them pay the price." Sherry said seriously. When she said this, the blonde girl's eyes glowed with a touch of pride and glory, which is the inherent dignity and pride of the elves.
"Wow...sounds amazing..." Aniya said in amazement.
"Every race will do this in order to protect their homeland." Sheris said: "In addition to mixed cities like St. Lent City, the magic world also has many settlements established by a single race. For example, we Crescent Forest.”
"Apart from the settlements of your elves, where are the settlements of other races?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
"Two hundred miles east of St. Lunt City, there is a city called Dragon Valley, which is a settlement of the dragon tribe; 200 miles west, there is a city called Xinla Zelan, which is the kingdom of the dwarves; There is also Twilight City, which is where the vampires live..." Sherry slowly explained.
"Wow... I feel like you know a lot, Sherry..." Xu Weiwei couldn't help but say. Lin Sirius also nodded. This was the first time he heard someone mention the major cities in the magic world. Speaking of which, the magical world is a world after all. He has not really seen the true face of this world, and he really wants to see it.
While the four of them were joking, the car arrived at the destination of their trip - the small town of Minderson.
This town is not large in size, and it also has some city defense facilities, but its defense is much worse than that of St. Lent. The fortifications of St. Lunt City are completely at the fortress level, with magnificent and thick walls and tall towers. In comparison, the few sentry towers and archer towers in the town of Minderson simply pale in comparison.
After getting out of the car, the four of them saw many students running around. Although everyone is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, at this time each of them looks like a child of twelve or thirteen years old, very excited.
Grote was waiting at the place where he got off the bus. When he saw Lin Sirius and the four others getting off the bus, he smiled and said: "Okay, you can move around freely, visit the town, go to the shops to play with fun things, at 5 p.m. Just come back here to gather before clicking!
"I know, teacher!"
"Have fun!"
The four of them walked into the small town together. Although they clearly had not discussed it together, they agreed to act together. Lin Tianlang originally wanted to get off the car and go find Carion, Leia and the others, but he found that Xu Weiwei and the other three girls didn't seem to be just taking a bus with him. None of them said they were leaving to find their friends. It seems that they all want to stay next to themselves.
"Welcome to the small town of Minderson!" Residents of several small towns greeted the four of them enthusiastically. Along the way, there are various shops and various people. Of course, it is very simple to distinguish the students of Saint Lun College from the residents - the former are all wearing school uniforms.
"Have you all brought money?" Lin Tianlang rubbed his hands and asked eagerly. Along the way, there were so many places that interested him. He wanted to visit every store, but he didn't know if he had enough time.
As for the money issue, Lin Tianlang is finally no longer a novice with no money. When he came back from the underground palace, during the three days he was recuperating in the infirmary, Principal Vincent came to see Lin Tianlang once and gave him a bag of gold coins as a personal reward. At that time, Lin Tianlang was extremely happy. .
"I know you are penniless in the magic world, so I give you this small bag of gold coins. Just think of it as my reward for hiring you to explore the underground palace!"
These were the original words that Principal Vincent gave to Lin Sirius at that time. As for the gold coins in the small bag, Lin Tianlang actually counted them. There are five hundred in total!
Five hundred gold coins is not a small amount in the magic world. The basic unit of consumption here is still mostly silver coins. Gold coins are generally rarely used in daily life. If these 500 gold coins were converted into silver coins in equal proportion, it would be a full 25,000 coins. This is already a small rich man!
"Of course you bring it, there's no one who doesn't bring money when they go out to play!" Xu Weiwei said while showing off her small wallet. The purse is white and matches her hair.
"I brought it too..." Aniya whispered, taking out a hand-sewn money bag. The main color of the purse is tea green, with some brown lace.
"Where's Sherry?" Lin Sirius looked at the blond girl.
"Well...I'm also prepared..." Sherry said softly, and then took out her small bag. It seemed to be handmade. The material was probably some kind of large leaves, which was in line with the character of the elves who were drawn from the forest.
"Then what we'll do next..." Lin Tianlang was about to say his next destination, and then he saw three boys running towards each other. They were all wearing school uniforms, their faces were full of excitement, and they were holding a bunch of white balls in their arms. They didn't know what they were.
The four of them who walked along just now also saw many students who had started to have fun. There are those who use two "magic wands" to shoot sparks at each other, which are all kinds of interesting magic gadgets.
However, these boys seemed to be coming towards several people. They were so crazy that they almost didn't see Aniya next to them.
"Be careful!" Seeing that the first boy running in the front was about to knock down Aniya, Lin Sirius was quick and quickly grabbed the brown-haired girl.
"Ah..." The brown-haired girl exclaimed softly and bumped directly into Lin Tianlang's solid chest. This sudden physical contact made Aniya blush instantly, but the corners of her mouth curled up shyly.
"Watch the road!" Lin Tianlang said loudly.
"Haha, sorry, I didn't see you!" the boy said loudly, and then continued to run forward.
The two pursuers from behind also caught up. The boy running in front was not polite and threw two white balls directly at the pursuers.
"Bang bang!!" The white ball exploded as soon as it touched the ground. It was not very powerful. Although it sounded loud, it could not hurt anyone at all.
Not to be outdone, the pursuers immediately threw white balls to fight back. The boy in front hurriedly avoided.
The four people next to them watched the three boys "fighting" like this. Lin Tianlang and Xu Weiwei were the more playful ones, and their interest was immediately aroused.
"What is this you are throwing away?" Lin Tianlang asked.
"This is a thunderball I bought from the weird house in front of me!" said a boy with yellow hair: "It will explode when it hits the ground!"
"What if someone is hit?" Xu Weiwei asked immediately.
"If you hit someone..."
Before the yellow-haired boy could finish his words, he was hit by a thunderball thrown by the boy in front of him. The white ball exploded, and the boy with yellow hair was not injured, but his hair immediately stood up like an afro.
"Hahaha!!!" The short-haired dragon boy next to him laughed, but he was also hit immediately and turned into an afro.
"Hahahahaha, look at how stupid you two are!!" The boy who was chased at the beginning laughed loudly.
"Hey!! Let's see how we deal with you!" The two pursuers immediately chased after him.
"Thunderball...it feels so interesting!" The three boys ran away, but Xu Weiwei became excited:
"Let's go to the weird house too!" the silver-haired girl said excitedly.
"Okay!" Lin Tianlang also rubbed his hands eagerly.
The four of them walked towards the weird house in front of them.
