Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 11 Egret Chau

Today is the light of the Holy Light on May 23, 734, Tuesday. It is said that the Holy Light calendar was the leader of the Brotherhood of the year, which was established by Stonemason Regius Au Syr. He led the uprising armed forces to drive the evil magician out of Freia Continent, and the year of the establishment of the Amsra dynasty of Freia Continent was set as the holy light calendar. In the first year of the year, the dark calendar that had been in existence for thousands of years was suspended. At present, the Freia Continent countries basically implement the Holy Light calendar.

Four days later, it is Saturday, May 27. In the history of Kingdom of Aueras, this is the commemoration of the Prince of Karjad after winning the Tricolor War and boarding the throne of the king to become Sterling IX. After his death, the successor Sterling X instructed the House of Lords, proposing to set this day as the legal holiday of Kingdom, named revival festival, to commemorate the great tradition of the Revival kingdom made by Sterling IX.

Sunday school holidays, plus Friday morning school to hold the revival festival as usual, no class in the afternoon, so Claude they have a rare two-and-a-half-day holiday.

To know that this world is different from the past life of the transmigrator, the school does not have a summer vacation and a winter vacation. It is a semester throughout the year, and it is only in mid-February until November. This holiday of the Chinese New Year is called annual leave, or Also known as cat winter vacation. This is because in Freia Continent, the period of the year is the coldest season, snow is falling, most people are cats indoors to avoid the cold winter, and rarely go out to work.

With two and a half days of vacation, Borkal and Eriksson have long planned to play where to go, Claude and Welikro are naturally indispensable. It’s just that the ideas Borkal and Eriksson think are not very reliable. Finally, Welikro proposed to go to the Egret camp to get the unanimous approval.

Egret is less than 20 miles from Whitestag town, but Claude has never been to Egret, because Whitestag town and Egret are more than ten miles wide between the Beringa Lake.

More than a thousand years ago, when the southwestern mountain people were hunting, they saw the legendary white elk, which symbolizes happiness and tranquility, on the shore of the Beringa Lake. So with his wife and his wife, they had a whitestag town. The same is true of Egret Chau, which was named after countless Egret 洲 on the continent.

Only later did people discover that they thought that the Egret continent, which is separated from the Whitestag town by a lake, was not a hill or a small island by the lake. It is true that Egret is actually a separate lake, Whitestag town and the sea. The open sea hills. It is with the obstruction of Egret Chau that the whistling sea breeze and the raging evil waves have never threatened Whitestag town. The only hazard is that several times a year, the tides of seawater flooding make the Beringa Lake water rise over the dam and form a slight Flooding only.

It is said that Egret has Egret and countless seabirds, as well as sea otters, stone foxes, mountain leopards and other precious high-value exotic animals, as well as herbs that are not worth collecting, and the products are extremely rich. But few people in Whitestag town are willing to travel to Egret.

There is no reason for him, one is dangerous, and the other is that there is a large ruins on the continent. It is said that the remnants of a collapsed magic tower hundreds of years ago. The evil magician is involved, and Egret is artificially cast a shadow of evil in people's mouth-to-mouth. No one wants to go there to find trouble for themselves.

Borkal and Eriksson have not been to Egret, and only Welikro has followed his father twice during the first two years of his first two vacations, one for hunting foxes and the other for collecting herbs.

So Welikro said that the proposal to go to the Egret Island camping adventure was welcomed by two daring guys, Borkal and Eriksson. Young means curiosity and impulsiveness and courage. As a transmigrator, Claude doesn't care about the so-called horror and evil legends on the Egret continent. Instead, he is very interested in the remains of the collapsed magic tower. Ready to go and see, then the default is to push the boat.

"Right, Claude, after lunch, we turned over from the back wall and went to the old street Old Mock's Goods to sell the two skins that Welikro brought, and by the way, see if there is anything we need. ”Borkal pointed to the soft package that Welikro brought under the desk.

Claude nodded. The wall behind the school was soaked in half by the heavy snow and rain. It became an undocumented entrance and exit for students who entered the campus without violating the school rules. Everyone knows that no one will report to the school.

What's more, even if the school's management knows there is no way to fix the gap in a short period of time, the wall repair funds have to report to the Whitestag Administrative department to apply, and the administrative department sent a person to the school to investigate and verify the repair funds, and then meet to discuss the extrabudgetary funds should be disbursed from there, Finally, the resolution will be submitted to the mayor for signature, with the consent of the mayor before the resolution will be sent to the town Finance Department for implementation.

The whole process will not come from the application to the disbursement of funds for two months. If the mayor does not agree or the town finance department says that this year’s financial difficulties are difficult to wait until next year, then the previous efforts will be in vain, and will continue until next year. Go through this process again.

Therefore, even if the school knows that the wall behind it has broken a gap, it is also an eye-opener that pretends not to know. Maybe they still want to have a few more walls, so that they can justify the town’s repayment of funds. Instead of repairing a small gap, build the walls of the entire school.

The lunch in the country is still as unpalatable and tasteless as ever. A spoonful of mashed potatoes is poured with gravy. Two pieces of black bread are sandwiched with a thin paper-like bacon. The fruit is a baby-sized boiled apple. However, the red cabbage soup in the large iron pan placed in the dining hall can be casually drinked, as long as the stomach can be loaded.

This kind of lunch is enough for the students to fill their stomachs, but don't think about what to taste. Occasionally, the school will change the recipe. It is just to change the mashed potato into oatmeal, or replace the thin bacon in the black bread with a piece of cheese and two pieces of lettuce.

In order to save money, the school even removed the butter, and only the salt bottle was placed on the table in the cafeteria.

Borkal is now looking at the dark bread like a life is not as good as death: "It's too dry and too embarrassing, I really miss the mutton baked in the morning, it's fragrant and crisp, a bite of oil…"

Eriksson scolded the mashed potatoes in the clean dish and said: "Who told you to eat bacon and then mashed potatoes and finally dry the black bread, without eating it, you can swallow it, the same taste of dried wood chips. Would you like to go bowling with red cabbage soup to eat? ”

I don't want itBorkal hurriedly shook his head: "You know that I want to vomit when I smell the red soup. I don't know how I will remember the smell of the insole every time I see the red soup. It's disgusting…"

"Come on, don't talk nonsense, Claude and Welikro have gone to the classroom to take the parcel after eating. If you are not afraid of not being able to stand in the afternoon, don't eat it, or if we stay out, you will go out and buy a mutton roast cake to eat…"Eriksson stared at Borkal with ill will, and seemed very eager to accept his offer.

"You want to be beautiful!The bread crumbs in Borkal's mouth spilled over the ground: "I only spent two months on riya's pocket money. It took a tenth to buy a mutton baked bread in the morning, and I was robbed by you…"

"Who told you to be a big one among us!"Eriksson spread his hand: "Do you have two riya cash dollars in a month that are not satisfied? “What about me?”When my father is in a good mood, he will throw me a riya cable. When he is in a bad mood, he will give me a foot, but he is on the boat for more than half a year. I can't see him every month or from him. I have to go to a riya in the purse.

Claude is similar to my situation. Without a valid reason, his father would not give him pocket money. Occasionally his mother gave him a little more than a riya. As for Welikro, his savvy sister is at home, busy making dowry for himself. Do you think he will have pocket money in his hand? ”

Looking at Borkal's eloquent appearance, Eriksson laughed: "So Claude is right. We are good partners, buddies, your pocket money is everyone's pocket money. If you care about this little money, I am too sorry for us. The friendship between…Don't eat if you can't eat it. You see Claude and Welikro have already waved to us. Let's go, even if you don't buy mutton baked bread, you can buy something delicious…"

“I always feel that it’s not right…”Borkal looked at Eriksson's back and looked at the big black bread in his hand. He muttered to himself: "Forget it, go buy mutton and simmered tartar…"

The four people turned very smoothly from the wall behind the school.

“Why go to Old Mock's Goods in Old Street to sell leather? I remember that the Gilppi store in the new district is the biggest fur acquisition point in the town? ”Claude asked curiously.

“Welikro's two skins have been put on for a long time,” Borkal replied: “The fur is not bright and there is some damage. It can't be sold at the Gilpo store. They can buy no more than six riya. Old Munch can bargain there, I think maybe I can sell it to eighty-nine riya. ”

“Claude You used to rarely go to Old Street, so you don’t know Old Mock's Goods.”Eriksson added: "In fact, Old Mock's Goods is the oldest store in the town. It has been opened for three generations, but their business is basically dealing with traders or sailors, and the traders from the south to the north. The sailors who wandered around the world liked to trade the oddly gimmicks they collected to Old Mock's Goods in exchange for money…"

“But now Old Mock's Goods no longer collects and trades those things.”Borkal said: "At the end of last year, the old shopkeeper Pichak went to the mountains to get the goods, the snowy road slipped, and even the man drove the car into the ravine, and his eldest son, Wakri, took over and became the new owner. Then Wakri decided to transform the grocery store into a specialized fishing gear and shipyard store.

You know that fishing gear and shipboard supplies need leather goods as raw materials, but the town's Gilpo store is a big acquisition. Old Mock's Goods can't compete for fur purchases. It can only be purchased sporadically, so we take these two skins there. I believe they will open a good price. ”
