book of old days

Chapter 46 Pure Mind
"In the Oak Valley, there used to be a temple of the ancient gods. The oak tree has a sacred meaning in the Nord mythology. It is said that the temple was built with oak wood. The gods would stay in the oak tree and observe the world, so Nuo The German ancestors planted oak trees in the Oak Valley, and every year the priests would pick acorns and make them into cakes and cakes to offer to the gods."

Xiao En wondered, "Then why did the oak tree disappear?"

The old man gave Sean a strange look, and said sarcastically, "I'm going to ask you this." He closed the door without any explanation.

Sean is a little confused, us?What do we mean? He shook his head, a little speechless to the old man's attitude, and returned to the carriage with the flour bag on his shoulder.

Next he went to the grocery store, the grocery store in Nordforsen, which fits the description of the word 'miscellaneous'. Almost everything is sold here, from shotguns, bullets, gunpowder, and animal traps to rope, axes, and crowbars. and other tools, cloth such as cotton, linen, and woolen cloth, and even tobacco leaves, coffee, and tea leaves, although the tea leaves look very suspicious.

Sean bought a can of coffee first, and then asked the salesperson if he had any pocket watches for sale.

He lost his pocket watch, and the biggest problem was that he lost the concept of time, which made Xiao En, who was used to daily planning according to time, very uncomfortable.

"Pocket watch? This is not a watch shop. Besides, few people in Nordforsen would buy pocket watches, but if you are willing to pay an extra price, I can sell you my pocket watch."

The clerk said as he took out a pocket watch with a steel case from his pocket. The case was a little rusty, and it was tied with a steel chain that was also a little rusty. It looked old.

Sean took it and fiddled with it twice, then shook it in his ear again, well, at least he can walk.

"how much is it?"

"Five gold pounds."

Sean almost cursed out loud. Although he was rich, he wasn't taken advantage of. This kind of low-end pocket watch without any decorations didn't even cost a gold pound in Brighton. It was a robbery.

"You also said that you are in Brighton, but this is Nordforsen, and it will snow soon. Once it snows, the road will be cut off, and you will have to wait until next year if you want to buy goods. For the sake of the people of Leyton, four gold pounds will be yours."

Sean nodded helplessly, looked at the shelves, and pointed to a large glass jar on the counter.

"Four gold pounds, plus a bag of hard candy, and the coffee from before."

Hard fruit candy is a proper luxury accessory in this era. It is packed in a huge glass jar, which looks as colorful as a glass ball, but no matter how expensive it is, it is nothing compared to four gold pounds.

The clerk agreed without much hesitation.

Then, Sean stared at a set of silver tableware, which was placed in a glass cabinet, gleaming and looking very high-end.

He was a little surprised, is this real silver?

"Of course," said the clerk, "this was ordered by the unlucky mayor before, but he had an accident before it arrived, and now it can only be left here to eat ashes. The Nords are not used to using silver tableware. .”

As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to come to his senses: "Sir, how did you buy it? With your identity and image, you must be a dignitary with taste. This set of tableware just matches your identity."

Sean doesn't have any particular preference for tableware, but he still plans to buy it, and he plans to find some 'precious things' for himself.

"Treasures" must be gold and silver products, Xiao En thinks that the most important thing is feelings, and some things will naturally develop a little feeling after being used for a long time, so he intends to buy some gold and silver products to accompany him. It is best to have plural numbers, so that it will come in handy if you want to summon the Treasure Thief Goblin again in the future.

This set of tableware seems to meet the standard, a lot of forks, spoons, and knives, how many times can this be summoned.

Originally, he didn't mind paying without hesitation, but the knife just now made him a little annoyed, so Sean deliberately pretended that he didn't really need it, forcing the clerk to slash the price twice, and finally settled at six gold pounds. The transaction, for a set of sterling silver tableware, can be said to be quite a bargain.

Sean paid the money, took the pocket watch, packed the cutlery, and the small can of coffee, and stuffed them all into his pockets.

Carrying a small bag of hard fruit candies, I threw a piece into my mouth first. Not to mention, the taste is quite good. It seems that food flavors in this era have not been invented yet. The fruit flavor in this hard fruit candy should probably be real The 'fruit'.

Back in the car, he took out the rabbit. The snow-white rabbit looked very cute, but it was a little bit misbehaving, and he tried desperately to break free.

Sean had no choice but to hold the rabbit's ears and let it climb on all fours in the air in vain until he lost his strength. Then he put it in his arms, stroking it while eating hard fruit candies.

After waiting for a while, he saw the group of children chasing and fighting again, and shook the kraft paper bag in his hand at the children.

The children stopped one after another, looking enviously at the candy bag in his hand.

"Children, do you want some candy?"

He asked with a smile, and those children all showed vigilance. They looked at him with a smile, but there was a hint of hostility in their smiles.

Sean knew why. Brightonians didn't have a good reputation in Nordfossen. People here depended on the economy of Brighton merchants, but they were always exploited and cheated by Brighton merchants. Many young people went to Brighton served as a soldier and sent money back every year, but occasionally a white death list and pension were sent back along with it.

It made them love and hate the Brightonians, and this mixed emotion was passed on to the children.

Sean didn't care either, he took out candies and distributed them one by one.

While distributing candy, he observed the expressions of these children.

The group of children grabbed the candy one after another, only a little girl with silver hair stared at the rabbit in a daze.

The girl Bai Shengsheng's small face is very delicate, her big blue eyes are unusually pure, and her short silver hair is slightly messy. Sean rounds it up as a white hair control, and he really wants to go up and touch it.

He secretly praised in his heart, what a cute little loli.

He showed a friendly smile: "You want this little rabbit?"

The little girl nodded, with a longing look in her eyes.

"Then I can give it to you, but if I take the little rabbit, there will be no candy to eat. Are you willing to give up the candy for this little rabbit? This is very sweet candy."

The little girl struggled, but quickly nodded again.

There is drama!This is the pure heart, willing to give up the temptation of delicious food for the sake of cute little animals.

He handed the rabbit over and saw the little girl eagerly took it, stroking the rabbit's neck, under the noon sun, a cute little girl stroking a cute little white rabbit, such a loving picture, Let Sean want to find a camera to capture this scene, he is almost sure that he has found the right person, and then - Gaba.

The rabbit's head was twisted 180 degrees by the little girl, unnaturally to the side, the eyes were protruding, and the tongue was protruding from Sanbai's mouth.

Sean was taken aback, "What are you doing!"

The little girl looked at him with strange eyes: "You said you gave me the rabbit!"

"I mean, why did you kill it?"

The little girl said as a matter of course, "I want to take it back and roast it to eat. How can I peel it if I don't kill it? You can't roast the fur together, right? A rabbit skin can be sold for fifteen pennies."

This... Xiao En has lost his temper completely, well, it seems that he is thinking too much.

The little girl didn't care that much, she took out a thin hemp rope from her pocket, tied it around the rabbit's neck, and tied it to the belt around her waist. It was only at this moment that Sean noticed that the little girl was wearing a rope around her waist. Wolf skin belt, the belt buckle is made of two huge wolf teeth.

The group of children had already divided up the candy, and ran away laughing one by one. The little girl followed in the crowd bouncing and bouncing. Stare big.
