"Ah."
She turned around gracefully, walked to the counter and took out a few keys: "Okay, guests, please go to the third floor."
We followed her upstairs, the smell of wine at the stairs was very strong, several wooden barrels were filled with orange-red wine, and there were a few pink wild flowers floating on the surface.
Although the room on the third floor is not big, it is very tidy and has all kinds of items.
Everyone read it and found it very satisfying.
The beautiful elf leaned against the wooden wall, lifted her silver hair with her slender fingers, and said, "Thank you for your patronage, five gold coins, free meals and drinks, and you can find me at the bar if you have any questions."
Kelly went to pay the bill, and I quietly asked Sophia: "Sister, the owner of this tavern is actually an elf?"
"Well, this tavern has a good reputation. The owner is a forest elf who is good at brewing all kinds of fruit wine."
I asked a little strangely: "Do humans and elves get along well?"
"No, this is only the case in our eastern and central parts. In fact, in the elf forest in the west of the mainland, there are many people who specialize in capturing and selling elf cubs. Most elves are hostile to humans."
"oh, I see."
Sophia said with emotion: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Teacher Sullivan. She is the only elf in the world who has reached the fourth level except the elf queen. It is also because of her that the relationship between elves and humans has eased."
I was surprised and asked: "Ms. Sullivan? There is also an elf teacher at Apocalypse Academy?"
"Well, she is a student of Dean Xavier, a very gentle teacher."
Kelly had already walked back. I looked at the empty glass in his hand and licked my lips: "I want to try the fruit wine here."
I rarely drink alcohol, but the fruit wine here has a special aroma, which is very attractive.
Kelly put the cup aside and said with a smile: "It's still early today, I have to go to the city to buy supplies, the journey is tiring, you can take a good rest."
After sleeping for a long time, I was full of energy, and asked quickly: "I want to walk around the city too, can you take me with you?"
Kelly said in surprise: "Of course~"
Following Kelly out of the Haven Tavern, a kind of western medieval cityscape was completely displayed in front of my eyes.
The streets and most of the buildings are made of stone, with tall towers rising at intervals, and several tall buildings in the distance.
I pointed to one of the tall, pointed buildings and asked Kelly, "What kind of buildings are those?"
"That's the magic guild, where mages can register for ratings and receive subsidies. The two next to it are the mercenary guild and the adventurer's guild, where they release and receive quests."
"Then what are these towers for?"
"Basically, they are the personal research institutes of the third-order magisters, and there are also control hubs that provide magic power for the town."
I nodded and walked on the streets of Taranto, looking at everything around me with great interest.
As I left the remote alleyway of the Haven Tavern, gradually, there were more and more people on the street, and more and more people were staring at me.
Pedestrians and travelers, all kinds of people, stopped in unison when they saw me.
Even the bargaining voices of the vendors have become a little quieter.
Most of them looked at me secretly, but many of them looked at Kelly with envy and hatred.
Feeling the gaze with a 100% turning rate, I was a little embarrassed and said, "Next time I go out, I'll wear a mask."
Kelly didn't expect this to happen, and said, "Don't worry about them, Eve, we just need to buy something and go back."
As I continued walking, I suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue.
Looking back, it is a roadside barbecue restaurant.
Since time travel, I have been living in the Temple of the Goddess. Although the food inside is exquisite and delicious, I always feel that something is missing. This familiar feeling makes me miss it even more.
I don't know how the barbecue in another world tastes like.
I walked over, and there were already many people in the shop. The shop owner was a middle-aged uncle, busy in front of the stall.
Dark red charcoal was piled up in the grill, and the uncle twirled the iron skewer with two fingers, making the meat skewers roll quickly on the charcoal fire.
The fingers are flying, dazzling, and various seasonings are also applied during the period.
This uncle has a very high realm.
Kelly came over, saw me staring at the charcoal fire, and said to the boss: "Boss Huang, bring us two skewers of barbecue."
Boss Huang raised his head in surprise, glanced at Kelly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is free to come to my place today, hurry up and sit inside."
Then he turned his gaze to me next to Kelly, and his hands stopped suddenly, and he was stunned.
I saw him motionless, and reminded: "Boss, pay attention to your barbecue."
"oh oh."
Boss Huang came to his senses and quickly continued to flip the skewers.
Someone in the shop teased and said: "Boss Huang, don't be obsessed with beauty and burn the meat."
Boss Huang turned his head and scolded: "Fart, I have been grilling meat for 20 years, and my craftsmanship is excellent. I have never wasted a single ingredient. It is impossible to burn it, and it is impossible to burn it in this life!"
Then he carefully used a bamboo stick to tie up two grilled meat skewers and handed them to me with hope in his eyes.
I took it with a smile. The meat skewers have been scoured over charcoal fire, full of aroma, and a little hot.
I took a sip carefully, and suddenly my eyes lit up. I felt delicious, crispy, tender and so on. It was very delicious.
"Boss, your barbecue is really good!"
Boss Huang showed a smile on his face, and said cheerfully, "Thank you for the compliment."
Kelly took out a silver coin and put it on the stall, but was stopped by Boss Huang: "Your Highness finally came to eat something, how can I collect money?"
Kelly smiled and said, "This is to thank Boss Huang for his superb craftsmanship, don't refuse."
After buying the skewers, Kelly and I left the barbecue stand, planning to buy the necessities first.
The brilliance of the setting sun overlapped the shadows of Kelly and me. The uncle looked at our backs as we went away, and his eyes seemed to remind him of his own years.
The dreamlike sunset made the corners of his eyes sour, and there was actually a trace of tears: "This girl is so beautiful, only His Highness should be worthy of her."
Then, he suddenly felt something was wrong, why was there a burning smell?
Looking down, Boss Huang's tears overflowed.
"Ah~ my barbecue!"
Chapter 28
Eli: By the time Kelly and I finished shopping for supplies, it was already dark.
The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. I was walking on the road when I suddenly saw a few black shadows passing by the houses.
My five senses are very keen, and I can detect even subtle movements.
Kelly obviously noticed it too, and his expression was a little gloomy.
I asked strangely, "Who was that just now?"
Kelly was a little surprised that I could find these men in black, and replied in a low voice: "It's a killer, the origin is unknown, but it shouldn't be targeting us."
"Are we going to have a look?"
I asked, after all, this is a city in the country of Will, and Kelly, as the prince, should be more concerned.
Kelly glanced at me, worried about my safety, and said, "I'll take you back to the tavern first."
"It's okay, I'm a magician, just follow you."
Kelly didn't speak, but nodded silently after a while, and then walked towards the alley next to him.
I also followed him.
After walking for a few minutes in the narrow and winding alleyway, there was no one in sight, and the surroundings became a bit dilapidated.
It was very quiet, save for the autumn wind and the hurried footsteps of Kelly and me.
Suddenly Kelly stopped, and I heard a clash of blades ahead.
Turn this corner.It was the men in black just now, moving extremely fast, like ghosts, constantly sprinting around a trapped beast.
This trapped beast is an exceptionally indifferent boy with blond hair, tight lips, and a Hidden Blade in each hand.
The black-clothed assassins were well-trained, and the four of them besieged the boy together. Their moves were very methodical and not chaotic at all. At least they were swordsmen above the second level.
Only the sound of crackling and piercing and criss-crossing sword points was heard. The two sides had fought countless times.
The boy's eyes are extremely sharp, and his mind is as calm as an eagle. He only swings his sword at those attacks that threaten him greatly, dodges the key parts, and ignores the attacks at the edge.
His amazing sense of danger and ability to judge allowed countless seemingly dangerous attacks to pass through his earlobes and the corners of his clothes without causing any real damage.
But these four men in black are very strong. In the narrow dark alley, the attacks are like a torrential rain. No matter how fast the boy's Hidden Sword is, it cannot completely block it.
It can be seen that there are already many scars on his body, his hands tremble slightly, and blue veins are looming on the back of his white hands.
A man in black threw out three swift gray streamers, piercing the air and attacking the boy's eyes.
The boy had no time to dodge, and stood in front of him with a Hidden Blade.
With a few crisp bangs, the hidden weapon was forcibly sent flying by the hard Hidden Sword, and shot at high speed obliquely, piercing the wall of the alleyway.
The boy was knocked down against the wall, and the other black-clothed assassins attacked from all sides again. His situation was already extremely dangerous.
At this time, Kelly suddenly appeared from the corner, stood in front of the boy, stretched out his hand to block a few times, and forced all the incoming attacks back.
I also hurried over to check the boy's body. There were many small wounds scattered on his body, but the most serious one was a sword wound on his chest, which was stabbed deeply and blood gushed out continuously.
The boy's face was pale and his expression was cold, like frost in the far north. His eyes were rare golden, with a circle of dark golden iris and pupils inside. Against the light golden hair color, he had a strange sense of gorgeousness.
He looked at me blankly, with wariness in his eyes.
The black-clothed assassins attacked again without hesitation. Kelly snorted coldly and pulled out the long sword at his waist.
In the fight just now, whether it was the assassin or the boy's movements, I could easily see clearly, but it was a bit difficult for Kelly to draw his sword.
Kelly took two random steps, and the long sword in his right hand just fluttered twice in the air like a butterfly.
Accompanied by the sound of four extremely subtle sword blades piercing through the flesh, the black-clothed assassins all lost their fighting power and fell into a pool of blood.
too fast.
If Kelly attacked me with this speed, I would be completely overwhelmed.
I looked back and had a new understanding of Kelly's strength.
"The free light element between heaven and earth, release your brilliance and save the injured creatures. The sixteenth of the light chant - healing."
I stretched out my hands and placed them on the boy's chest. A white light appeared from my palms and covered his chest. Visible to the naked eye, the wound healed slowly.
During this period of time, I learned a lot of commonly used magic of various schools.Among them, the light attribute magic is the easiest to learn, and other magic can only be used with No. 20 chant, and the light attribute can be used up to No. 30, and the effect is even better.
After more than ten seconds, I withdrew my hand, and the wound had basically healed.
The boy had a complicated expression and asked me, "Who are you?"
"My name is Eve, how do you feel?"
He glanced at Kelly who was checking the identity of the black-clothed assassin, and struggled to stand up.
I looked at his strenuous but indifferent face, and asked, "You are seriously injured now, should I take you to the hospital?"
He shook his head, stared at me silently for a few seconds, and said suddenly, "My name is Eli."
Then turned around and jumped onto the wall of the alleyway, and disappeared from my eyes the next moment.
I just reacted.This kid named Eli is too rude. He turned around and left without even saying thank you for saving his life?
Kelly watched him go without going after him.
At this time, a group of soldiers ran over, and the captain saluted Kelly and asked, "Your Highness, what happened here?"
It turned out that Kelly had already notified the city guard on the way.
Kelly took off the three hidden weapons on the wall, handed them to the captain, and said, "These assassins are from the Felin Empire, and they have already committed suicide. You should inform the city lord and carefully search for their purpose and specific actions when they came to Taranto. You have found something." Report to me."
"Yes."
After exhorting me, Kelly walked back to me and said, "I'm sorry, Eve, this happened to you."
I lived in a peaceful age for so long in my previous life, and the first time I saw four people die suddenly in front of my eyes, my heart was still a little shaken, but because there were no too bloody scenes, I could still accept it.
"It's okay, let's go back."
