"For example, if you are sentenced to be a slave because you can't pay the detention fee, or if you speak ill of the king or the local nobles, you will also be sentenced to a slave."
The so-called detention fee refers to the tax that should be paid when entering the city, usually only two or three iron coins.After paying the detention fee, the guard will issue a piece of wood to the person entering the city, on which the name of the person who paid the detention fee and the date of entering the city are written.If there is no such detention fee and they are not permanent residents of the city, the guards will regard such people as criminals and put them in jail.
As for whether to punish them for building walls, working as miners and other corvee labor, or being demoted directly to slavery, it all depends on the mood of the local nobles.
What I want to say is that in the event of special circumstances, the retention fee system will be temporarily cancelled.For example, Aurora City some time ago temporarily canceled the detention fee because it wanted to take in refugees.Fia can see so many slaves and beggars now, which is the result of the influx of refugees.
"Speaking of which, doesn't Little Fiya care about her sister at all? Just now I was worried that Little Fiya would rush into the temple to save people regardless."
Lowering her eyebrows to observe Fia's expression, Claire said worriedly.
On the way here, the two saw a notice posted along the street, which stated that the third princess of the Elven Kingdom was imprisoned in Aurora City, and clearly stated that the reason why the third princess fell into their hands was because the elves Someone inside the king's palace turned against the water and smuggled the still young third princess out of the city and brought her to the Holy Kingdom as a vote of honor.
Fia waved lightly.
"If that's true, I'm sure I'm going to trouble the church now, but Anastasia and the others have been deceived by the same trick once, so they have to be more cautious. I want to wait for Anastasia to investigate clearly before acting."
The reason why I and Anastasia were admitted to Claire's hospital was because the imperial guards got the false information from the church, believing that there was an elf royal family imprisoned in Aurora city, and leaked the news.Now that I am regarded as a symbol of wisdom by Anastasia and the others, if I rush into the church and smash it, and then find that there is nothing in it, I will undoubtedly lose face.
It would be fine if only Anastasia and the others knew about it. If the church used it as a negative teaching material and ridiculed her, her life as an elf princess would come to an end.
"Maybe this is another trap deliberately released to lure me into the bait. No matter how strong the Unsinkable Moon is, it is just a magic item, and a magic item requires someone to continuously inject magic power. They should not be able to hold on any longer, so they are anxious to catch it. Hold me."
"I think it's better to believe it. It's fine if it comes out through gossip about the capture of the enemy's family, but like just now, it's made public in the official name. Once the carnival believers know that it's fake news, the church The situation will be embarrassing. They value their own authority more than imperial power countries, and they will not aim at nothing.”
"Hmm..." With her right hand resting on her chin, Fia thought about it, "What Claire said makes sense, so I'll check it out tonight."
Anyway, with Yunyue in the Illusory Sea to change other people's perceptions, as long as she pretends to be an ordinary guard, she can easily sneak into the temple.It doesn't matter even if someone finds out, the big deal is to use magic to open a big hole in the temple and run out.
When I go back, I have to learn the magic I got today.
What Claire didn't know was that after Fia got the magic catalog in the afternoon, Fia had already learned the language of magic spells from the magic words written on it.For ordinary people, it is inconceivable to learn an awkward language in one afternoon, but for Fia, it is normal.Now Fia only lacks the intonation and pronunciation needed for chanting incantations. As long as she learns these, she will fully master the skills of chanting magic.
"I'm going with Fia."
"That will cause trouble for Claire... What if we leak the news and those paladins find Claire's clinic that night?"
I can use Yunyue of the Illusory Sea to change other people's cognition, but Claire doesn't have such props.
If Claire's clinic was destroyed because of helping her, she would be so ashamed to face others.
However, Claire just shrugged nonchalantly as if she didn't care about the hospital at all.
"Then let them smash it. There's nothing inside anyway. Compared to a medical center, you, little Fiya, are more important."
"I'm more important..."
This statement is too embarrassing.
Fia lowered her head in confusion.Even if it was a joke, when the other party said something like "You are more important than XX", it would still make people feel embarrassed, not to mention that there was no hint of joke in Claire's tone, she was serious.
Not realizing Fia's embarrassment, Claire's eyes fell on Fia's chest, and there was a hint of playfulness in her expression.
"Speaking of which, little Fiya is the type who doesn't wear underwear. Although the elf princess is not yet an adult, she is not young. Not wearing underwear will affect her development."
"Huh?" First, she was stunned for a moment before she could react, and then her face flushed instantly. Fia's whole body froze, and she hugged her chest with one hand, "Ke, Claire, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, I confirmed it with my own hands yesterday. Did Fia forget? That innocent, cute and intelligent elf princess actually didn't wear underwear. I was really surprised. She has a little bit of a perverted habit."
Only after Claire reminded Fia did she remember that yesterday, in order to avoid the soldiers who walked into the alley, Claire's hand touched her chest. It must be at that time that Claire realized that she was not wearing the underwear above.
There was a mistake in such a place.
But it's definitely not my problem, God knows that the beautiful girl walking beside him will suddenly push him against the wall.
In order to prevent Claire's teasing from being successful, Fia cleared her throat, raised her chin slightly, and forcibly calmed down her expression.
"That's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I forgot to wear it when I woke up."
"In other words, put it on properly now?"
Although she wasn't wearing it, Fia was sure that Claire didn't dare to reach out to make sure, so she puffed up her chest.
"of course."
"I'll have to check it myself."
"Hey, Claire, are you a pervert!"
Unexpectedly, Claire would answer like this, so Fia hurriedly took a small step back.
Seeing Fia's movements like a frightened little animal, Claire burst out laughing.
"Just kidding, no matter how I say it, I'm not up to doing that kind of thing in the street. Well—as compensation, I can allow Fia to touch it back."
As Claire said that, she curled her lips and turned to Fia.One arm is clasped under the chest, deliberately highlighting the proud chest, and the eyes are full of meaning that you can pick and choose.
It's just tempting to commit a crime.
Claire's development is quite good, and her figure can be described as uneven. Therefore, when she is shown directly in front of her eyes like this, Fia can't help but feel that she doesn't know where to place her gaze. Even if she takes a second look, she will be rude.
"Don't you want to try?"
Saying that, Claire deliberately shook her chest.
Gee.
Must be playing tricks on myself.
Although I wanted to go back with the mentality of teasing and really touch it, but if Claire didn't respond at all, I would be the one who would be embarrassed.
Fia clicked her tongue bitterly.
"Who wants to try?"
"Hehehe, little Fia is so cute." Without letting the joke continue, Claire took the initiative to change the subject. "Since little Fiya doesn't want me to get involved, then I'll stay near the temple to meet you. Anastasia should also go with little Fiya. After all, it is to rescue the royal family, and the Royal Guards cannot be absent. With Siya here, you can rest assured."
"Let's talk about it tonight."
Same as the reason why Claire was not allowed to go with her, Anastasia didn't have any props to change her cognition, and acting rashly might make an action that was not dangerous at all dangerous.
As for the safety issue Claire mentioned, although the only magics I can use at will are "Fairy Fire", "Wind Blade" and "Torrent", but don't forget the exaggerated power brought by this body, even if it is the strength of the temple. In the wall, I might be able to kick a big hole in it myself-the disadvantage is that it will be a little painful.
After continuing to walk for a while, Claire showed a surprised expression.
"Huh? There is actually a shop selling ice desserts in Aurora City."
Following Claire's voice, a stall pushing a cart appeared in Fia's eyes.The stall owner of the cart is not wearing a rough jacket like ordinary people, but a light blue magic robe.If Fia remembers correctly, this is the lowest level of magic armor.
In the Association of Magicians before, Fia saw the price of magic armor from the magic catalog. The price of different magic armor varies greatly depending on the strength and development direction.
For example, a magic robe that can slightly increase the power of magic costs as much as [-] gold coins for a single piece. In contrast, a magic robe that can only slightly increase the affinity of elements is so cheap that it only costs three silver coins.In the words of the young staff, this so-called "slightly" is just the effect of the beholder's opinion. Some people think it is useful to wear, while others think it is purely deceiving.
However, for those who have just become magic casters, they are also willing to buy magic robes with three silver coins.Not for the effect of the magic robe, but the magic robe itself is a status symbol.Wearing it on the body can explain to outsiders that they are magic casters, and thus be respected.
Young people's business is obviously not very good.Although there are many children watching the cart with pitiful eyes around his stall, few customers come forward to buy. Even if someone asks the price, most of them will leave with a wry smile and wave their hands.
The so-called ice desserts seem to be ice cream-like snacks served in wooden barrels.
Chapter 64 Feeding play?
"Can Fia accept sweets?"
"You still like it?"
I don't think there is any food I don't like.
"Then try this. I've only seen it in the south of the mainland before. I didn't expect it to spread to the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis in the north." Claire took a step forward, and then seemed to remember He retracted his feet, and smiled wryly at Fiya, "I'll scare that person if I go, so I can only trouble you, little Fiya."
"It's okay, leave it to me."
"Remember not to add extra sugar to my portion."
Fia, who was instructed by Claire, came to the booth.
As expected, the so-called ice dessert is nothing more than an ice cream topped with animal cream after breaking a large ice cube into the size of a thumb.
Seeing someone walking in, the young man didn't even raise his head, but waved his hands listlessly.
"One piece of five copper coins, and extra sugar is six copper coins."
It turned out to be the case.
Fia understood immediately why people just asked the price and left.Buying a dessert with five copper coins is beyond the reach of most families.Usually, five copper coins are enough for a family's food expenses for a whole day, and the snacks on the commercial street are usually in iron coins.
"I want two."
"what?"
The young man suddenly raised his head, and after seeing Fia's face, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then realized that it was impolite to stare at other people's faces, so he turned his eyes down and caught a glimpse of the scar on Fia's body. Black dress.
"Yes, it's the nobleman... I'm sorry, the things haven't been sold for a long time, and I'm planning to close the stall and go home."
If the common people in this world offend the nobles, the nobles can even skip the step of imposing false charges, and directly let the guards arrest the commoners. Fia's clothes are obviously not ordinary people, and with her exquisite appearance, it is natural for the young people to regard them as noble.
Fia just smiled and handed out the silver coins - this is the money left over from buying the magic scroll.
"Give me two. Although it's meddling, it's so expensive that most people don't have the money to enjoy it even if they want to eat it."
The young man who scooped the ice cubes out of the barrel instantly looked sad.
"I don't want to sell it so expensive, but white oil and sugar are too hard to get. If I don't sell five copper coins, I have no profit at all. Besides, making ice cubes also consumes my magic power, and I can only do this one in a day. Barrel, after finishing it, you will be dizzy for a long time because your magic power is exhausted."
Can only make one bucket of ice cubes all day?
Fia couldn't use the "Wind of Exploration" to spy on the man. The man's magic power was purple, which was only slightly stronger than the dark purple symbolizing the man without magic power.This young man should belong to the type whose family is not very rich, but who really wants to learn magic.
Fiya has always liked to help such hardworking people, so she thought about her words a little bit.
"How about trying to change the audience? Like not selling to ordinary people, but selling to the aristocracy, who have money to enjoy this."
"Why does the nobleman like the food of our common people? There are only a few nobles who are as friendly as you, miss. If I serve the shameless dessert in front of the nobleman, I will definitely be kicked out by the nobleman."
The young man said bitterly.
The rules of the other world are so strict...
"Then try to raise the price higher, and then make the ice cubes into fine slush and add juice, or use milk and juice to make ice cubes at the beginning, the taste will definitely be much better. If you add cream on top Sliced fruit looks better. Aristocrats are human too, and they like things that look delicious.”
"That way the cost will become at least seven copper coins or even eight copper coins..."
"But the more expensive it is, the more it can reflect its status. Aristocrats like to distinguish themselves from others. If the price is too low, they will think that things are not good."
"It's actually possible..." Although the voice was difficult, there was some hope in the young man's eyes, "After freezing the juice into ice cubes, break it into fine ice and sell it... No one has ever made it before, it is a brand new dessert .My lord, are you, are you trying to sell this idea to me? But I don’t have any money for you.”
No, I wasn't thinking of taking money.
In the era when Fia lived, human beings no longer needed ice cream.She just recounted the smoothie that people enjoyed in the old days.
After telling the young man the idea of not charging money, the young man raised his eyebrows immediately.
"How can I do that! Although I am poor, I want to be a magic caster with no regrets in my heart, and I cannot accept favors from others in vain!"
The young man emphasized seriously that the slightly louder voice made passers-by around him look sideways.
Fia was troubled.
"Since you said so... then every time you sell a dessert, give me a part of the profit. But I'm not always in Aurora City, and I will come to you to collect it when I need it."
Anyway, it is impossible for him to return to Aurora City, so naturally there is no such thing as collecting money.As an elf princess, Fia wasn't so poor that she wanted to find commoners to collect copper coins.
"Thank you noble, I will go back to study the formula tonight! No, it's now!"
"You haven't given me anything yet."
"I am so sorry!"
Because he was so excited, the young man even forgot to give the dessert to Fia.
Things went smoothly after that.Under Feiya's persuasion, the young man didn't immediately push the cart home, but carefully thought about how to package the desserts so that the nobles could accept them.At the same time, in order to show that he would not deceive Feiya, the young man quietly left with his ideas, not only telling Feiya his name and address, but also writing down the addresses and names of his fiancée, parents and even all relatives on paper.
Very serious person.
It is worth mentioning that when Fiya returned to Claire with the ice dessert, all the children guarding the booth looked at Fiya with pitiful eyes.According to the youth, these children waited for Fia to finish eating the ice dessert, picked up the thick leaves used to hold the ice dessert, scraped off the remaining dessert on it, and enjoyed the sweets that were not usually available.
Since it sounded too miserable, Fia couldn't help but bought some smaller ice desserts from the young man, and distributed them to those poor, skinny children.This action caused the children to burst into ear-piercing cheers, and some younger children even called Fia a goddess while enjoying the dessert with tears in their eyes.
Although the passers-by around cast envious glances at the treatment of the children, but those people were adults, so Fia chose to ignore them.
It's an exaggerated performance.
I always feel that if it gets to the ears of the church, the church will think that they are heretics who are here to fight for the faith.
After trying a lot to persuade the children not to sing after them, Fia and Claire were finally able to sit down in the shade of a tree.It is early summer in the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis, and no one likes to go shopping under the scorching sun.
