Chapter 295: ‘Doll Girl’ (Part 1)

"...So that's it, thank you."
The adventurers and mercenaries looked at the young man in a wolf fur coat and snow boots, put on his hat, pushed open the door, and hurriedly left the pub after a chill.
"Hey, old Hank, what did you and the kid just say?" A mercenary shouted loudly, "Speak it out to us! Haha!"
"Don't you guys don't understand!"
Despite the curse on his mouth, Old Hank, the owner of the ice cod tavern, said the matter: "Just that kid, what kind of newspaper was it, and the maid grew up, he came to me to consign that newspaper here, Twenty copies at a time."
"Two hiccups... what about twenty?" The mercenary burped his wine, plucked his ears, and asked again.
"Newspaper!" At the end, Old Hank smiled contemptuously, "I have said that you rough people do not understand!"
"newspaper……"
He heard a murmur from a civilian at the table next to him, turned his mind, and whispered, "Hey, friend, do you know anything? That is the newspaper."
"It seems to be similar to the announcement..." The civilian looked at Pie and answered.
"Oh……"
Pierre looked back, and it seemed that the man didn't know.
"I seem to hear someone talking about the newspaper?"
There was a voice on the second floor. The people who were drinking and laughing on the first floor looked up and saw a young man in a down robe standing beside the handrail of the second floor.
"Are you talking about newspapers?" the man asked again with a smile.
"Yes!" The drunk mercenary pointed to the young man on the second floor. "You know?"
"Um... let me know for a moment!"
The young man walked up the stairs and walked slowly down the second floor. When he walked on the stairs, people only saw him holding a book in his hand and wearing a few rings.
The dark golden down lightly shook as the man walked. Unlike the adventurer who always looks dirty, the man has some curly red hair that is very clean, and his body is tall, only he walked When we came on the first floor, people found out that he was no thinner than a well-trained adventurer.
"I heard about the newspaper, but that was when the Arcane Empire was still on this continent."
The man's words made many people stunned. When a tense atmosphere filled the air, he added with a smile: "Oh no, that's not what I saw with my own eyes, and I'm not that old. , I just heard others say that during the period of the Arcane Empire, there was such a thing as a newspaper."
"call……"
He heard that the people around him couldn't help but relax, and he relaxed a little.
Humans are nothing short of short-lived species. This red-haired man looks like a human being, and the arcane empire is more than 800 years ago. If he is really that old, it is not a legend. It is another race-it can't be an ordinary person anyway!
But it's right to think about it, how could such a character come to this pub?
The red-haired man found an empty table and sat down, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "cough cough", his index finger light tabletop.
Looking around, he found that no one else was doing anything, and Pierre raised his hand. "Boss, a glass of beer, a big glass!"
He pointed to the red-haired man. Old Hank knew what he wanted to do and couldn't help but laughed and scolded, asking him to present beer to a master master?
"Your beer!"
With an odd smile, Old Hank put a large cup in front of the red-haired man and took a few steps back, observing the complexion of the red-haired man.
"Oh, this is really..." The red-haired man shook his head in tears and laughed, picked up the glass and poured himself a sip of wine.
The bitter quirky taste spread in his mouth, which caused the red-haired man to frown and gasp, but even more strangely, he didn't spit out the beer.
"Okay, after all, it's here, and you can't ask for too much..." The red-haired man murmured, and then he cleared his throat, "Cough!"
After Pierre presented a beer to the mage, many people focused their attention on the red-haired man. They heard the red-haired man said: "If you want to talk about the newspaper, you cannot do without the Arcane Empire. This phrase, the arcane empire was very prosperous. It is said that every civilian is literate-just like what our maidservant is doing!"
"Wow..." The people around couldn't help but whispered. In their view, what the maid and the elder maid was doing was shocking enough. I didn't expect the arcane empire to be even more powerful.
"However, unlike the present, the Arcane Empire did not invent new papers. They used parchment paper-after all, papyrus is not suitable for writing-newspapers are circulating. Several families buy a newspaper and then circulate it. Watch, after reading, the parchment still has to be recycled, it sounds very troublesome, right?" The red-haired man smiled and raised his glass. "So we should thank our maidservant who brought us With the new paper, it was she who gave us and our children the opportunity to read and respect the maid for a long drink!"
In just a moment, the tavern boiled up, "Respect the maid and grow up a cup!"
"Thank you maid grow up!"
"Long live the maid grows up!"
Because I haven't read the book, there are only a few words that people shout.
Even Piet shouted "Thank you maid for growing up," because he is the leader of the sad wind leader, not just in Wind City. It is said that the school in the other places of the sad wind leader has also started construction. In the future, his children will be able to read books, Ability to read without having to work as hard as he does.
The pub was filled with joy, and the red-haired man clapped his hands and said aloud: "But it is not the same as the newspaper of the Arcane Empire~EbookFREE.me~ Our newspaper should not be so troublesome, not only this pub, maybe Even other hotels and pubs have newspaper consignments. The world is improving, and the world is no worse than it was in the Arcane Empire-oh, I have forgotten what I have to say!"
"Newspaper--" The red-haired man stood up and pressed his hands to make people quiet. "It is a carrier of news. Many things, such as some big things that happen in the distance, some are difficult to obtain through our information channels. The news has just happened, or just received the news, this is the news! After the news is published in the newspaper, we can get the news from the newspaper and the big things that happen in the distance. This is the main newspaper. use."
After talking, when people were still aftertaste or still confused, the red-haired man looked at his pocket watch again and said, "Tu".
"Sorry, I'm leaving."
The red-haired man took out three gold coins from his arms and handed them to the old Hank. He raised eyebrows at the adventurers and mercenaries and smiled: "It's a pleasure chatting with you. I hope to see you next time. Goodbye. !"
"Goodbye!"
"I wish you a safe journey, kid!"
Because it felt that the mage was quite easy to get along with, the adventurers and mercenaries greeted him.
While the old Hank was still stunned, the red-haired man pushed the door and left the tavern.
Step by step!
The pub maid ran down the second floor in a panic. "Dad, the food for 17 people, all was--"
Squeak! boom!
All voices were shut behind the door, and the red-haired man looked at the dark-haired man standing on the street with a smile.
A pair of dark golden vertical pupils stared closely at the red-haired man, and the dark-haired man asked in a poor tone: "Zigler, what are you doing here? Do you want to fight?"...
