Chapter 478 Amber Fruit Juice (23)

Imperial Capital, Midtown, fifth floor.

The floor area where the headquarters of the Knights of the Patrol is located, is always quieter and more secluded than other lively floor areas and the bustling lower city.

The streets are almost spotless. The tall landscape trees sway slightly with the wind, and the tip of the big clock tower in the center of the patrol knight headquarters not far away can be clearly seen no matter where it is located. When it rings, it means four o'clock in the afternoon. When the bell rings, the originally quiet layer area has the feeling of time passing.

The passers-by were all dressed in decent formal attire, and they walked at a slow pace, as if they knew that they were already very safe, and there was no need for urgency or worry.

Ian walked the streets here, he could see the huge steel pillar in the center of the layer area, and he could also see the white layer wall on the outer edge of the layer area—the boy noticed that there was a layer of translucent crystals on the surface of the layer wall here. , if not expected, it should be some kind of projection equipment, a simulated light curtain that can simulate the sky, sea and other exterior scenes.

I just don't know if it's invalid, or the empire doesn't think it's necessary to turn it on all the time. Now the simulated light curtain has not been activated.

Ian had just contacted Isengard with the internal communication device of the Patrol Knights and told him that he had arrived at the fifth floor of the imperial capital. The tone of the other party was very happy, and he said that he would come to the fifth floor area soon.

"That's not necessary, this place is not suitable. You make an appointment to meet, and I just have a look at the situation in the imperial capital." Ian smiled and said: "The seventh floor park area? Okay, then I will go there later, Don't worry too."

Leaving the headquarters, following the breath of the goblins all the way, Ian came to a street full of food aromas. There are many shops here, with shining signboards hanging high, and bright curtains hanging from both sides.

Walking here, Ian even felt a familiar comfort.

Before his reincarnation, he spent most of his study and work time in space, except for his childhood on the earth. He has long been used to the internal circulation systems of many satellite eco-cities and space cities.

Rather, it is precisely because he spends most of his time living in an 'ecological city enclosed in an infinite universe' that he has an extremely strong longing for the universe and starry sky.

He is obviously in the boundless sea of ​​stars, but he can only live in a small city behind a transparent barrier. It is this contrast that has shaped his character.

And the planet... The planet is too narrow for civilization, but too vast for individual human beings.

It takes a lifetime just to explore the earth under one's feet, just to have a home on the earth.

Gravity embraces people's souls.

Shaking his head slightly, Ian shook off this sense of familiarity. He now knows why he feels a sense of intimacy, because the inner layer of the imperial capital also uses a built-in ecological circulation system to ensure fresh air and healthy vegetation.

"If the surrounding buildings were more advanced, I guess I would think this is some retro tourist space city."

With such an evaluation, Ian walked into the food street.

Most of the people who can live in the central city of the imperial capital have stable jobs and good salaries. Naturally, their desire for food cannot be satisfied by just 'full'.

At a glance, Ian saw a specialty pancake shop in the Rosa area, a creamy seafood gratin shop in the Xuanhai area, and a rotary barbecue restaurant in the Hot Sand area... There are many customers in each shop, obviously here Residents can afford the prices of these stores, as well as the consumption of frequent meals in the stores.

Of course, in addition to these restaurants, there are also drink shops and pubs that provide a variety of drinks.

The business of a tavern was so good that an extra long table was set up at the entrance. Many people, all kinds of people, including elves and dwarves, drank here, and the barrels were placed in the tavern The outer wall, layer upon layer, almost covered its windows.

The atmosphere here is much more lively, and all kinds of bragging and discussions can be heard. Ian listened intently and found that it was not all kinds of political and war topics, or discussing his own children, or complaining about his boss... In short, he is very familiar .

"After the Fifth Legion's new armor equipment is complete, the Yuanyan Fortress Group is just a back garden for casual access!"

"Have you heard? The defense line of the dwarves' heavy army was breached, but it's just a trap!" "Yes, I know, my uncle is doing business with the Royal Court of Heaven. He told me that the Wind Chaser Land Fleet Almost completely wiped out by the dwarves' new weapons... just don't know what the new weapons are."

"The tutor's salary is increasing every year. He's a ****. I don't earn as much as these people!" "It's good if you can find it. If I want to find a reliable one, I have to rely on my relationship... I really envy those big nobles. "

"Damn it, I really don't understand what a leader who is always parachuting and pretending to understand does not know what to do, just pick peaches, they are going to mess up the whole project!" "Maybe the purpose is Well, internal struggle or something... Anyway, you can get a salary, don't think about it, let's have another drink."

It seems that even in a different world, the worries and hobbies of human beings are still the same.

(Here, Ian!)
Ian heard the call from the psychic communication, it was Hua An's voice, he looked sideways and found two goblin ladies in a cafe.

Walking into the cafe, the waitress who served him immediately understood, and led Ian to the table where Hua An and Shuang Die were.

"Is it solved?" Hua An is enjoying the aroma of coffee happily, and steam is slowly rising from her head - her so-called drinking coffee is essentially enjoying the aroma of coffee, and all the coffee is evaporated while drinking .

On the other side, Ian turned his head and found that the ice wings behind Frost Butterfly were stained with coffee brown.

"It's solved, it's solved. I've logged in, but the stain... I guess it will take a few hours for it to fade away?"

Ian stretched out his hand and touched Shuangdie's wings. The little goblin shook her head, obviously not noticing that she was about to become a soil goblin.

"Don't worry, and don't you think it smells delicious?" Hua An didn't care about it: "I have a friend who is a fire elf who likes to eat barbecue. The smell on his body makes even Long say it's delicious!"

"It smells delicious."

Ian took a closer look and found that Shuangdie really had the aroma of iced coffee.

As for Hua An's description, he imagined it, and couldn't help but feel that the world is so big that there are so many wonders: "Will there be wine fairies?"

"It's too much——Zizi." Drinking coffee, Hua An said quite comfortably: "There are many goblins in Falling Star City who like to drink, and after drinking, they sing and chant poems, or fly around— They don't get drunk at all, they just pretend to be drunk and crazy."

"However, I also have a friend in the imperial capital. She also likes to drink very much. She just enjoys the aroma of the wine and never plays crazy."

"I see... I understand."

Ian nodded slightly. He noticed that Hua An also nodded sideways, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I think."

Miss Goblin said thoughtfully: "I probably figured out where Shuangdie's oral habit came from."

Ian and Shuangdie blinked together.

Before leaving, Ian ordered a glass of 'Amber Fruit Juice' which he had never heard of before.This is a peculiar fruit that originated in the remote islands, to be precise, it is the fruit of a vine.

The amber vine will only grow on the tallest trees, it will absorb the essence of the trees, and then bear fruit like solidified amber, this kind of fruit is very popular with a kind of local flying dragon, and the excrement of this flying dragon is the most Good tree fertilizer - the tripartite is such a symbiotic relationship.

As the name suggests, the amber fruit juice pours out of the silver pot carried by the maid, filling the glass and turning the transparent glass into a slightly shaking amber gold cup.

The translucent fruit liquid is between light gold and coffee color, exuding a charming and mellow taste, just like liquid gold. If I have to describe it, it is probably a mixture of honey and coffee?No wonder this cafe sells this juice.

Ian took a sip, and felt that it was a very strange sweet taste, refreshing and pure, which could easily lift people's spirits, and the mouth and throat felt cool.

"It can be chilled. It will feel better if you drink it chilled."

Ian commented this way, but he also knew that after chilling, the refreshing taste of amber fruit would be weakened, and it would go towards the icy tingling sensation similar to mint.

But he personally prefers this kind of strong stimulation, which is why he likes to eat chili.
