“Where are the gem craftsmen in this town?” Russell asked Charles immediately after buying the white crystal.
“As for gemstone craftsmen, there is a lamp shop on the Second Cross Street. The craftsmen there are top-notch in polishing gemstone lamps. Of course, Fluorescent Castle should provide excellent gemstone craftsmen to polish gemstones for the Baron.”
“Just go to the lighting store.”
Russell quickly took people to the lighting store, and then found the craftsman who polished the gem lamps, and expressed his needs: “I need you to help me polish these two white crystals into lenses… convex lenses… just a little thicker in the middle. The edges are a little thinner…”
In fact, what he needed a craftsman to polish were his reading glasses.
Grandmother Mrs. Ingrid is already old, and the fighting spirit she nurtured in her early years has also declined and can no longer warm her body.
Therefore, if I have presbyopia, I can see far away just fine, but close letters are blurry.
Russell plans to give his grandmother reading glasses as a gift at her birthday party. Of course, what he wants to polish is not a complete pair of reading glasses, but two pairs of single lenses, the old-fashioned single lens with a chain.
Reading glasses also have prescriptions, and Russell couldn’t accurately determine the eyesight, so he could only make two single photos with different prescriptions for his grandmother to use.
When grandma finds them useful, she can ask someone to make reading glasses with more accurate readings.
“Sir, you are so filial.” Charles praised, “What’s even more amazing is that a simple piece of crystal can make presbyopic eyes see objects clearly again. This is very incredible.”
“In life, magic is everywhere, as long as you are good at discovering it.” Russell smiled. He believed that his gift would make his grandmother very happy, and the price was not expensive, it was just two pieces of white crystal.
In fact, reading glasses can also be made from glass, but Russell thought the quality was too low, and the glass manufacturing process here was not good enough, with too many impurities.
certainly.
Before visiting the gem stall, what he wanted to do was to make some earthly delicacies for his grandmother. Considering that Mrs. Moore has difficulty communicating and the possibility of good food is too low, she might as well switch to reading glasses.
The caravan brought many novelties, and Russell wandered around until the sun set.
“Sir, should we go back to the manor now, or go back to the Fluorescent Castle to stay?” Charles asked.
“If you don’t go to Fluorescent Castle, you won’t go back either. Just find a small hotel to stay in the town. By the way, there are small hotels, right?”
Charles asked: “Of course, but…your status is noble…”
“It’s just for one night, it doesn’t matter.” Russell’s purpose is not simple. “Life on the snowfield is much worse than in a small hotel, but sooner or later we will go to the snowfield to fight, right? Let’s adapt in advance.”
“Okay, as you wish.”
“Teacher Charles, please go home and come back tomorrow morning.” Russell gave Charles a holiday.
Charles’s chicken had indeed been idle for too long. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, “Thank you for your generosity and kindness.”
night.
In the cramped small hotel, Russell was alone in a room, and the valet and several knights’ retinues were crowded into one – the caravan arrived, and there were no spare rooms in the small hotel.
Although the smell was a bit unpleasant, Russell still slept peacefully.
When I fell asleep, with a cry of “ga”, the dark dreamland came again, with the small hotel as the center and covering a large area of the surrounding blocks.
Turn over and ride on the little dream dragon.
Suddenly the streets lit up with magical lights.
“It’s treasure hunting time again, ice cream, let’s go!” Russell stayed in the small hotel just for this moment.
Shopping during the day, he couldn’t tell the difference between the good and bad of many things brought by caravans.
But at this moment, within the scope of the dark dream, if there is something worth picking up, there will be nowhere to hide it.
“Gah!”
“Very good, these should be magic potions. The light is very strong when gathered together, and there seems to be no fakes in them.” Russell came to a stall. The stall had been closed, and the stall owner was sleeping in his stall tent.
Nodding, Russell left here.
Magic potion is meaningless to him. If he lacks it, he can go to the Fluorescent Castle to harvest wool in the autumn breeze without spending money to buy it.
Along the way, Russell had studied most of the magic creations, but there wasn’t much room for mistakes. For traders who can follow the caravan, it is possible for ordinary items to be passed off as magic creations, but it is impossible for magic creations to be sold as ordinary items.
“Pity!”
Russell was greatly disappointed. It seemed that the idea of picking up the missing items was ruined. Then he rode the little dream dragon to a magical light on the edge of the dark dreamland.
“Huh?”
Exclaims soon followed.
“This seems to be a stall selling livestock. There are many lambs, calves and puppies in the cages on the cart… The one that is glowing seems to be a sow? It’s the sow’s belly that is glowing, as if there is something Something is curled up inside, this…”
The surprise came too unexpectedly and suddenly.
On a stall that usually sells livestock cubs, there is actually a pregnant sow, and the sow seems to be carrying a baby phantom beast.
“It can’t really be a fantasy beast baby, right?” Russell looked around the pregnant sow carefully. However, the piglet was not mature enough and could not see its specific appearance. Moreover, the light was very dim and might go out at any time.
After all, it is extremely difficult for ordinary animals to give birth to fantasy beast babies.
But as long as you really get pregnant, if you give her enough nutrition and time, you might be able to get countless times in return.
“I want this sow!”
“Gah!” Little Menglong didn’t understand why Russell was interested in a sow, so he barked to express that he was tired.
Then, the dark dream dissipated and consciousness returned to chaos.
Early the next morning, Russell woke up from his sleep, then woke up his knights and rushed to the livestock stall.
The stall owner hasn’t left the stall yet and is feeding the livestock cubs.
Knowing Russell’s intention, he immediately put down the feed in his hand and introduced enthusiastically: “I spent a lot of money to transport this sow. I was afraid that the piglets wouldn’t be able to withstand the coldness on the road, so I deliberately transported it before the sow.” It will be shipped here during production…”
The sow was all black and was chewing pigweed.
The stall owner continued: “These are excellent pig breeds, golden black pigs. Sir, do you have your own manor? You can completely feed these golden black pigs. After a year, you can harvest plump golden black pork. Barbecue or smoke.” Xun, they are all unique!”
Golden black pig is a specialty pork in the Golden Baron territory. Russell only ate it at the banquet in Fluorescent Castle.
It tastes really delicious.
So he smiled and said, “Okay, I bought this sow. How much does it cost?”
“Chenghui only needs one gold coin and sixteen silver coins.”
It was not expensive, so Russell didn’t bother to bargain and nodded directly: “Ram paid the bill… Jack, you guys transport the sow back to the territory, be careful not to damage the piglets in the sow’s belly due to bumps.”
“No.” The knight’s servants simply asked for the stall owner’s cart and hired a serf from the town to pull the cart to the Black-rumped Snake Manor.
Russell stayed in the town and continued shopping. After visiting the entire caravan, he took back the two single photos he had made from the lighting store before meeting up with Charles and returning to the territory together.
