The frustrated Ye Qimeng wandered around Baiyan City for a long time, but he didn't get anything special, but his money bag was getting more and more deflated.

They came across a large market filled with temporary stalls holding fabric parasols. Various jewelry and tea set picture albums are neatly stacked on the table, while clothing and shoes are hung on the shelves for selection. There are also small vendors selling freshly picked fruits and vegetables beside the carriage.

The elves in the market were crowded together and it was very lively. Ye Qimeng followed Ella's footsteps, hugging the dog and excitedly walking among various fresh stalls. For her, everything here is so warm and romantic.

Her sense of smell was very sensitive, and she smelled the elegant fragrance of flowers in the air, the strong perfume of the elf tourists, the pungent smell of rosemary at the spice stall, and now... the fragrance that filled her nostrils. The sweetness of the bread.

This must be freshly baked bread, there is a steaming smell in the air.

The aroma of bread mixed with the milky aroma of butter, coupled with the egg liquid applied on the surface, creates a burnt aroma under the action of high temperature, which constantly stimulates the secretion of saliva in her mouth.

"What kind of bread is this? Why is it so fragrant? I'm starving to death!" Ye Qimeng pressed down the white hood on his head like a hungry wolf, anxiously looking for the source of the aroma in the market. .

Finally, in front of a stall with orange parasols, she found the delicious toast she had been longing for.

The elf uncle with a thick mustache held iron tongs and kept picking out the cooked bread from the oven behind him and placing it on the empty baking sheet behind him.

His wife has curly short brown hair and a fair face with some small freckles, making her look more lively and cute. She was wearing a white apron and holding a knife in her right hand to skillfully cut the newly baked bread.

A white heat came out from the cut surface of the bread. She quickly sandwiched in a strip of smoked bacon, a piece of lettuce leaf and some pickled cucumbers, and finally sprinkled with finely shredded cheese. A delicious sandwich bread was ready.

She carefully wrapped the finished product in oil paper and handed it to the little elf girl who had been waiting for a while, because the queue in front of the stall was really too long, spanning half of the market.

Ye Qimeng stood not far away, really greedy. Ella went up and asked about the price. Each sandwich bread was only eight copper coins. She spent twenty-four copper coins ruthlessly, waited in line for a long time, and finally bought three freshly baked sandwich breads.

The cheese filling inside the bread has melted, mixed with the bacon fat, and it leaves a fragrant taste on your lips and teeth after you bite into it. The crunchy pickles and lettuce leaves enrich the taste of the sandwich bread, making it taste refreshing and not greasy.

Each of them took a sandwich bread and walked out of the market with satisfaction, eating and wandering on the streets of Baiyan City.

When passing by a pair of elf mother and son, the little boy saw the dog eating bread while walking. He pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, look at that dog as a person."

"Nonsense, why do dogs look like humans? Huh? They really look alike! This is the first time I have seen a dog that walks upright. Little girl, is this your dog?" The elf mother was about to come forward and lowered her head. Looking at Ye Qimeng's face buried in the hood, he asked politely.

But after seeing Ye Qimeng's black hair and eyes, he lost his voice: "Human?"

Ye Qimeng reacted and stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth so violently that he picked up the dog and pulled Ella and rushed away, leaving only the elf mother and her son messy in the wind.

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise by the time the elf woman reacted and called for someone, I would have been caught by the guards stationed nearby and thrown out of the city.

She calmed down the confusion and put down the dog in her arms. It probably hasn't reacted to the situation just now. It still has half a sandwich bread in its mouth and can't speak.

They seemed to be back in the same neighborhood as before. This might be because it was relatively remote. The number of elf passers-by was obviously much smaller, and they were all walking in a hurry on the street.

It seemed that it was getting late and they had almost visited Baiyan City. It was time for them to go home.

Night gradually fell, and the sun on the horizon was shining with its afterglow.

As they passed by the entrance of Tina's Tavern, the neon light on the signboard suddenly turned on with a snap, changing and flashing strange colored lights, which was very conspicuous on the empty street.

The door of the tavern was rudely opened from the inside, and the white wind chimes hanging on the door frame clashed with each other, making a pleasant sound of "ding-dong-ding-dong-".

"You traitors really deserve to live in poverty, and you still pretend to be rich. Get out of here, you are not welcome in Baiyan City!"

A drunk man was thrown out of the tavern, and the big man cursed and said some nasty things. It was probably because this guy came to drink even though he had no money, so his salary was deducted by the landlady.

The big guy spat at the drunk man, then turned around and slammed the door back. Only the wind chime on the door frame was left, making another crisp and loud crashing sound.

The drunkard lay motionless on the ground, as if he had died of sleep, and did not scream at all because he bumped against the hard white flame stone.

The elves passing by all around deliberately avoided this place, but they never cast curious glances here.

Ye Qimeng followed Ella's footsteps, preparing to avoid the drunk man, but the moment she passed him, he reached out and grabbed her ankle.

"Dude, do you have any wine?" He raised his head and asked with a confused expression.

This elf drunkard looks extremely rough, with an unkempt beard, his temples and cheeks are sunken, and his green eyes have no luster. His messy orange hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time, and the roots were stuck together and clumped.

Contrary to ordinary elves, he looks much older. Time has left clear traces on his face, and it seems that the gods have forgotten to care for his appearance.

"Okay, I'll get you a drink right now. But you have to let go of my ankle first."

This guy doesn't look tall or strong, but he is surprisingly strong. Ye Qimeng couldn't pull out her leg no matter how hard he tried, so he could only stand there numbly waiting for him to let go.

Ella squatted down and tried hard to pry his fingers apart.

"Look how many fingers I have?" The dog stepped forward and stretched out his paws, asking the drunk man.

"If you want the best wine, don't fool me with the hairy bottle!" The drunkard seemed a little angry, and violently slapped the paw in front of him with his other hand, protesting loudly.

Ye Qimeng said speechlessly: "Okay, let go..."

"I have a lot of money, look at this!" He took out something from his pocket with his other hand and mysteriously handed his fist to her hand.

She became a little impatient: "No money, just let go of your hand so I can get the wine!"

Looking at the threads on the edges of his clothes, the big holes in his pants, and the long-unglued short boots on his feet, she couldn't believe that this guy had a penny in his hands.

"Take it! Don't look down on me, don't let me go until you take it!" The drunkard was extremely stubborn and refused to give in.

In the end, Ye Qimeng couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached out her hand in disgust and took the unknown object from the drunkard's hand.

The moment the unknown object fell into his hand, the drunk guy finally let go of his hand, lowered his head and fell back to the ground.

Ella hurriedly said: "Master, it's a bit late now. Let's go home. This guy is a bit scary."

Gouzi asked curiously: "What did he give you?"

Ye Qimeng brought the small golden object in her hand close to the light source, and the hood on her head slid down when she raised her head. With the help of the neon light, she could clearly see what was in her hand: a necklace with a spiral cone-shaped pendant, which seemed to be an instrument made of gold. The shell shone dazzlingly under the colored lights.

"It seems true. It seems quite valuable. But no reward for no merit..." She murmured to herself.

"Where's the wine? Where's my wine! Where's my wine!" But he was interrupted by the drunken man's protests.

He started splashing again, shouting loudly and rolling on the ground, causing the elves passing by to look sideways at them.

"Master, let's go quickly. This person looks so scary." Ella urged with some worry.

The door of Tina's Tavern was opened heavily again, and the big guy rushed out from inside again, yelling at the drunkard still lying at the door: "Get out of here, or I'll call the guards! You kind of The traitor elves are not allowed to enter White Flame City in the first place, why don’t you get up!”

Ye Qimeng whispered to the drunkard on the side: "Go quickly, don't get arrested later."

"Leave me alone, I want to drink!" The drunk man was still drunk.

"Why is there a human here?" The big guy walked around the drunk man and looked closely at Ye Qimeng, who still had black hair and eyes under the neon light. He suddenly realized and shouted: "Call the guards quickly! Humans and earth elves are mixing up. There must be nothing good going on together! Do you have any conspiracy!"

"Where... where's my hood?"

Only then did she realize that the top of her head was empty, and the hood of the white robe used to hide her identity had already fallen behind her.

Subconsciously, she picked up the dog on the ground, pulled Ella beside her, and ran away from the scene.

After running back to the woods near the deserted outskirts of the city, she felt relieved and stopped to catch her breath and rest.

Ella behind her looked a little worried. She pulled her clothes and said, "Master, will other elves discover your identity this time? Ella is very worried about the safety of her master. Ella failed to protect you last time. ..." After saying that, Ella lowered her head in self-blame.

"The neon sign at the door of the tavern is so dazzling at night. The guy probably didn't see my face clearly. And he, an ordinary elf, most likely doesn't recognize me, the daughter of a duke. Don't scare yourself." She touched Ella's fluffy golden hair. Curly said comfortingly.

"it is good......"

Before she finished speaking, and before Ella could continue speaking, a piercing cry suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.

The sound was like a surging wave, gradually approaching where they were. This reminded Ye Qimeng of his unexpected encounter with Winged Horse yesterday, and how they almost bumped into each other face to face.

She reflexively looked up and saw a huge object flying over their heads, instantly covering the stars in the sky and casting a dark shadow around them, so dark that it was suffocating.

The next second, Ye Qimeng quickly pulled Ella with her eyes and hands, hugged the dog and retreated into the grass on the roadside, avoiding this sudden "unexpected disaster".
