Chapter 1182 Human friends, looking for food?
In the evening at the Rio Royal Court, an ordinary middle-aged human was walking slowly in the square in front of the market. The square, which was almost deserted during the day, gradually began to become lively. The magician lit a huge magic torch, illuminating the entire square.
Since the appearance of the light disaster, people have tried to reduce daytime activities as much as possible. With the launch of the anti-light disaster suit by the Silver Chamber of Commerce, the number of people engaging in outdoor activities during the day has increased. However, when the light disaster intensified again, the anti-light disaster suit could no longer withstand the effects, and all outdoor activities were completely shifted to the evening and night.
In contrast, the night lighting industry is booming, and various lighting products continue to sell well, such as lighting torches.
This lighting torch launched by the Silver Chamber of Commerce has a lighting array on top facing the sky, and an umbrella-shaped reflector on top. The light emitted by the array is reflected to the ground by the reflector, illuminating large areas, and it is very energy-efficient.
In the past, many large lighting products required a large amount of magic crystals as energy, which was extremely costly. Now, this kind of lighting torch does not require magic crystals. As long as the magician infuses magic power from time to time, it can stay lit for a long time.
A magician's magic power can be restored and is a renewable source of magic power, which is environmentally friendly and saves money.
The magic circle commonly used in the Lich Dungeon for farming and supplementary lighting was unexpectedly used to shine in the other world in this way.
With lighting, everyone can move around at night, but the best time is still dusk.
At this time, the sun is setting and the sunlight is not strong, so the damage caused by light disasters is also reduced by a large part. However, the light is brighter than a torch at night, so you can just put on some clothing to block it and then move around normally.
Because the time for outdoor activities is compressed, more people gather in the square in the evening. People come and go, shoulder to shoulder, in an endless stream, and the place is bustling and lively.
The middle-aged man looked at the scene with a confused expression on his face and muttered, "Why is there still food?"
A Minotaur lady nearby heard what he said and said cheerfully, "Human friend, looking for food? Soon, there will be food for sale when the sun goes down."
"Really? But with the disaster so severe, isn't there a reduction in grain production or even a total crop failure?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
"Yes, yes, yes." The Minotaur lady said enthusiastically, "The production reduction is very serious, but the Silver Chamber of Commerce is kind and sells food cakes at low prices. Each person is limited to purchase a certain amount every day to ensure that everyone will not starve to death. Are you hungry? Here you go."
The Minotaur lady quietly handed over half a piece of cake: "Fill your stomach first, don't starve."
The middle-aged man looked at the Minotaur aunt in astonishment, then looked at the dirty half piece of pancake in her hand. It was obvious that she had held it in her arms for a long time and was reluctant to eat it.
The middle-aged man didn’t need to eat, but he still took the cake. He blinked his eyes, and at the moment he closed his eyes, some words flashed in his eyes: greeting - hello, parting - goodbye, getting help from others - thank you...
It is filled with basic social expressions, like a communication manual.
The middle-aged man found the right words for the situation: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Let me tell you, I..." The Minotaur lady started chatting enthusiastically.
The middle-aged man squeezed the cake in his hand and immediately analyzed the ingredients of the cake: flour, vegetables, salt, oil...
Silver Chamber of Commerce? Where did they get so much food? The middle-aged man was puzzled when suddenly there was a commotion in the distance and everyone began to look up at the sky.
The middle-aged man also looked up at the sky and saw several airships flying over from a distance. One of the airships landed in an open area of the square, and the rest continued to move forward and flew to other cities.
Judging from the residual fluctuations on the airships, these airships should have sailed from the void and entered the plane at the weak point of the plane barrier. From the residual fluctuations and the surface of the airships, it can be seen that the airships did not collide with the plane barrier.
This means that the arrival of the airship is permitted.
This is the best way to transport large amounts of supplies from other planes. If a teleportation array is used, the consumption will be too great.
"Let's go buy some cakes. If it's too late we can only buy broken ones." The Minotaur aunt patted the middle-aged man and led the way to the front.
The middle-aged man followed silently behind. He was not used to the enthusiasm of the Minotaur lady, but he really needed to understand the Silver Chamber of Commerce, so he had to follow.
Soon we crowded to the vicinity of the airship, and when we got there we had to line up. An undead mourner was floating in the air with a big stick. If he saw anyone not lining up, he would pull him out, hit him with the stick, and then throw him to the back.
The middle-aged man followed the Minotaur aunt with his head down, looking like a shy young wife.
The mourning undead soldier looked at him a few more times in confusion, as if he sensed something. However, seeing this, he could only frown in confusion and muttered quietly, "Did I see it wrong? This is weird."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and walked to the front, then he remembered that he didn't bring any money. The undead soldiers above him were staring at him, so he couldn't do anything big. He could only say to the minotaur aunt, "I didn't bring any money. I'll go get it."
Squeezing out of the crowd, the middle-aged man looked left and right, wondering whether to get some money first or look for someone with cakes and grab two. The Minotaur woman chased him, stuffed a cake into his hand, and said, "Here you go. One person can only buy four cakes. I have two at home, so I'll give you one."
The middle-aged man blinked and found the right social language from the social language that flashed quickly in his eyes: "Thank you, I'll give you money."
The minotaur lady waved her hand cheerfully: "You're welcome. It's free. It's just a cake. Don't take it to heart. My two calves are still hungry. I won't say anything more to you. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with a rumble.
The middle-aged man looked at the Minotaur aunt walking away, then looked at the cake in his hand, a fresh cake with some residual divine power, and his expression was a little complicated.
Leaving the square and away from the mourning undead soldiers, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and a white crystal condensed in his palm. When he threw the white crystal, it quickly condensed into the shape of Nan Mian.
The middle-aged man pointed to the square in the distance and said, "Find out what's going on with this Silver Chamber of Commerce and find out where their food comes from."
Nan Mian bowed and responded, "Yes, Master."
The Star Lord hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression before saying, "Don't kill the minotaur."
"Ah?" Nan Mian looked at the Star Lord in astonishment: "Why?"
The Star Lord suddenly felt like something was blocking his chest, and he could neither spit it out nor swallow it back.
Why? Why? For that piece of cake? For that warm and cheerful minotaur?
The Star Lord couldn't say this, but if he didn't say this, given Nan Mian's style of doing things, many creatures might die near the square. What if that minotaur died...
The Star Lord suddenly understood why the Grand Chancellor betrayed him.
