Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

After solving the minor problems for the maid, Ruby left the hotel and was going to the hotel to find Meyer and the others.

Ruby found the hotel with a string of wind chimes hanging at the door, and found that the two women were not in the room, only some miscellaneous items wrapped in wrapping paper were randomly piled up on the table, and there were clothes that the two had changed on the bed. I went back to the hotel after being tired from shopping, took a short rest, changed into the skirt I just bought today, and went shopping again.

Guessing that it would be too early for the two to return, Ruby simply set off to find them in the business district.

There are several avenues in the business district, and each street is filled with a wide variety of goods.Ruby chose a main road at random with the idea of ​​trying her luck, and she didn't go far before she bumped into two people who were playing.

Ruby took a closer look, and it turned out that Mayer and Sylvie were shopping around a small stall.

The owner of the stall is a very old man, which can be seen from his wrinkled face.His hands wrinkled badly, but they were very calm and powerful. At this time, the old man was smiling and cutting a plate of fruit jelly, surrounded by a circle of people watching.

There are several plates on the stand, each with different types of fruit jelly.Some plates are filled with fruit jelly printed by moulds. The shapes of the jelly are various, including heart-shaped, square-shaped, and cross-shaped... Customers can choose the shape and taste they like according to their preferences.

In order to avoid mixing flavors, fruit jellies of different colors and flavors are placed in different plates.Meyer chose pink Dorothy fruit jelly, and Sylvie chose orange orange juice jelly. Because it was fun, they chose one of various shapes.The old man did not urge them, and waited patiently for them to choose, and then shoveled the fruit jelly they chose onto a black hard leaf that served as a tray, and stacked them in a neat row.

Meyer paid the full amount, then took two pieces of bamboo from the keg hanging on the stall, and then handed one of them to Sylvie, and she and Sylvie tasted the crystal clear fruit jelly.

In the hot weather, the refreshing fruit jelly with fruit fragrance is a good dessert to cool off the heat.The fruit jelly melts in the mouth, because most of the raw materials are fruits, so it has a sweet taste, which is very popular with children.As summer approaches, some citizens with spare money will occasionally buy a few to satisfy their children’s hunger. Anyway, fruit jelly is not expensive, and you can pick two for a copper coin. Compared with other snacks in the commercial area, it is quite affordable. of.

While talking, the old man's son brought another big tray full of a whole piece of fruit jelly.Different from the previous fruit jellies, the fruit jelly in this tray is colorful. You can tell at a glance that it is made of a mixture of various fruits. If you look closely, you can see small pieces of fruit scattered in the jelly. With one bite, the juice splashes on the tip of the tongue.

The price of rainbow fruit jelly is several times more expensive than ordinary fruit jelly, and a piece the size of a baby's palm costs five copper coins.You must know that it is very laborious to blend the flavors of different fruits together properly, so it is understandable that the price is more expensive.

Although you can taste seven flavors at a time, not many people buy rainbow jelly.Because the savvy citizens think that the same copper coin can buy more single-flavored fruit jelly, but they have tasted two flavors less, but in terms of volume, it is much more cost-effective than rainbow fruit jelly.

Ruby bought a piece, chewed on the tender fruit, and went to Meyer to join them.

"Ruby, are you done?" Meyer asked, carefully shoveling a heart-shaped piece of dorothy jelly onto the bamboo slice.

"It's already been negotiated. I'm responsible for holding back the great magician of the Earl's Mansion. As long as this matter is successful, Ashe will help us solve the letter of recommendation." Ruby replied, swallowing the fruit in her mouth.

"This is not an easy task. If you can, it's best not to be dragged down by Ashe." Meyer frowned slightly: "Actually, you don't have to cooperate with her. Today Darren found the hotel we booked and wants to take over About the letter of recommendation."

"Oh? What's going on here?" Ruby raised her eyebrows: "I thought he would have no face to see us before school started after all that happened."

Meyer said with a smile: "It's funny to say, Darren found the hotel where we stayed temporarily through the Anderson family's network, and hoped to bribe me with a letter of recommendation, let us go to Ellip without talking nonsense, for He keeps secrets, he's a face saver."

Ruby asked: "What about after that, you didn't agree?"

Meyer said: "Of course I did not agree. Although this is his personal behavior, he is a member of the Anderson family. Every move will remind people of the family behind him. I have to be cautious."

Hearing Mayer's refusal, Ruby breathed a sigh of relief: "This kid has a good plan, but luckily you didn't agree. There is a saying in our hometown that cannibalism is soft and hands are short. If you really accept his favor, in I'm ashamed to teach him a lesson for public revenge at school, but I'm a very narrow-minded woman, let me tell you, I still remember Sylvie's incident."

Meyer stuffed the hard leaf disc into Sylvie's hand, covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "I didn't see it, I didn't expect you to be such a grudge, I have to think about whether I have offended you."

"Don't worry, I only hold grudges against people I don't know well. Even if they get angry with me, I won't remember it for five minutes." Ruby vowed.

"I'm really glad that we have a good relationship, otherwise it would be the end of you if you are so small." Meyer pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, which made Ruby laugh out loud.

"Speaking of which, after Darren was rejected by you, did he obediently leave? I don't think he is the kind of person to let it go." Ruby asked with interest.

"Of course not. He has been pestering me for mercy, kept praising me for being beautiful, and said that his father met my father and wanted to play the emotional card. God knows that my father is not qualified to meet someone like the Grand Duke." Meyer said I want to laugh when I think of Darren's approach.

"In the end, Sylvie saw that I was impatient, pushed him out of the room, and blocked the door to prevent him from entering. You know that magicians are weak if they don't use magic. Darren didn't dare to treat Sylvie because of the previous lesson. He used magic, but his strength was not as strong as Sylvie, so he was pushed out all the way, which was useless, Sylvie is very stubborn." Speaking of this, Meyer smiled.

"That kid deserves it. Let him bully Sylvie again. Sylvie helped him and still wants to make trouble for Sylvie. There is still a long way to go." Ruby said hehe.

"Leaving aside Sylvie's matter for the time being, how are you going to deal with that great magician? Physical professionals are at a disadvantage against magic professionals, because mages have too many strange spells. Although you are half a spellcaster However, your magic all relies on runes, and the effect is too single, and it is easy to capsize in the gutter when encountering such an experienced spellcaster." Mentioning this, Meyer was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, I still have a week to prepare. I will try to collect information about this great magician so that I can attack his weaknesses. Even if I can't find an opportunity to take advantage of, I won't be afraid to face it head-on. A woman protected by the plane." Ruby comforted.

"That's right, you are different from my spare tire. Dad won't leave you alone if you encounter a dangerous plane." After hanging out with Ruby for a long time, Meyer also learned some jokes on Earth.

"That's right, if I can't win by cheating, I don't have to hang around in this plane anymore." Ruby knew that she was nothing without cheating, as if Meyer in the projection ball was the object of her real admiration ( Perseverance alone), even now Mayer has been trying to feel the way forward.Inspired talent is just an introduction after all, without down-to-earth efforts, all talent is equal to zero.Compared with those who have reached this level of strength purely by their own efforts, the only thing she is worthy of praise is that she has a better mentality and strong adaptability. She still has this self-knowledge.

"Cough, cough, cough." A burst of rapid coughing interrupted Ruby's self-reflection. It was Sylvie who choked on the fruit jelly.

"I'm sorry, cough... I've caused you trouble... cough cough..." Sylvie's tears came out, Meyer quickly stopped her words, stroking her back, helping her to breathe.

"Come on, Sylvie, drink some of this." Ruby went to the nearby stall and bought a cup of hot drink, and drank it for Sylvie, making her feel better.

The warm milk made Sylvie's throat much more comfortable. She unconsciously picked up the cup and drank the milk in one gulp.

"Does Sylvie like milk very much? Ruby, please go and buy some more." Sylvie rarely showed her preference, so Meyer was very happy to see her showing her love for milk, and hurriedly sent Lu than to buy.

"No, don't bother." Sylvie blushed when she heard that Ruby was going to be troubled, and said dully.

In order to relieve Sylvie's psychological burden, Meyer said with a smile: "It's not just you drinking alone, I also want to taste what it tastes like."

The stall selling hot drinks is not far from the place selling fruit jelly. When you look up, you can see the stall owner holding a bamboo wooden spoon, pouring steaming milk into a row of bamboo tubes, and then pouring them into the bamboo tubes according to the taste of customers. Add different spices, some with ground coffee beans, some with cocoa powder, and some with a little honey directly. Ruby bought a cup for each of the three according to their tastes, and shared the drinks between the two when they came back.

Meyer chose the one mixed with honey, Sylvie chose the cocoa-flavored milk, and the remaining cup was naturally Ruby's.There is no such thing as a trash can in another world, so just throw away the used bamboo tubes.

Meyer also felt tired after drinking the milk, so they went back to the hotel to recharge their batteries, so that they could go to the Assassin's Guild tomorrow to inquire about news.
