LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 79 - Buying Food! Half-Elf Girl!
As soon as the woman in the silver cloak entered Richard’s territory, she was intercepted by the patrol team.
Richard looked through the telescope and saw that after witnessing the woman’s strength, the patrol team was probably somewhat afraid.
However, their training had been decent.
They bravely went out and intercepted her.
In general, civilians and merchants entering Richard’s territory would be questioned and would only be allowed in after explaining their intentions.
As for the new city now, entry was even more strictly monitored.
Despite being a mage, this woman in the silver cloak was no exception.
“Signal to let them through and bring her in.” Richard instructed Dorothy.
Finally encountering a mage, he wanted to see what this woman’s intentions were.
After giving the order, he observed closely.
Soon, within the castle, a fox girl holding a flashlight emitted a signal of light.
The patrol team received the signal and allowed passage. Two individuals on horseback led the way.
Several horses quickly entered the new city and arrived in front of Richard’s castle.
After escorting the silver-cloaked mage to Richard’s castle, the two patrol teams left.
Richard had already arrived in the reception hall on the first floor, which was brightly lit at this moment.
Guided by two female fox warriors, the woman in the silver cloak was brought in.
Richard stood at the entrance of the reception hall, calmly gazing at her.
“This is our Lord.”
One of the fox woman introduced.
“Visiting your Lordship late at night, I apologize for the disturbance.” The woman in the silver cloak spoke.
Listening to her, Richard noticed that her voice was very young, sounding like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Shortly after, he saw her appearance.
Her clothes were quite exquisite. In this world, such clothes were probably affordable only to nobles or quite wealthy merchants. Her face was covered by a veil, so her specific features couldn’t be seen.
Her eyes, however, were quite bright, as if filled with starlight.
After a brief inspection, Richard said, “It’s alright. What is your purpose for coming?”
The silver-cloaked girl replied, “I would like to acquire some custom-made food according to my needs within Lord’s territory.”
“Custom-made food?” Richard asked.
The silver-cloaked girl said, “Yes, I don’t need food with good taste, but I need something denser that can be eaten for a longer time.”
After she finished speaking, she reached out her hand and took out some silver coins from a small pouch.
Richard hadn’t expected that this magical silver-cloaked girl had come to his territory late at night to buy food.
He didn’t know who she was, where she came from, or where she was going.
After some thought, Richard asked, “Are you going to a distant place?”
The silver-cloaked girl showed a hint of vigilance, but after scanning Richard’s face, which showed no malice, she said, “Yes, I still have to go a long way.”
Richard said, “Then I happen to have the food you need here. It can also last a while.”
Saying this, he took out the compressed biscuits.
The silver-cloaked girl took the compressed biscuits and looked at them with curiosity.
“You can take a small bite and try it.” Richard suggested.
The silver-cloaked girl lifted her veil and indeed took a small bite, chewing slowly.
After a while, her eyes showed a joyful expression.
“This food is excellent. It tastes much better than I imagined, and eating a small bite can last a long time, you say? Lord, how is such food sold?”
The silver-cloaked girl asked happily.
Richard said, “One box for one silver coin.”
The silver-cloaked girl took out 50 silver coins and handed them to him. “I want 50 boxes. Do you have that many?”
Richard took out 50 boxes of compressed biscuits.
With this kind of compressed biscuits, if eaten sparingly, one box could last for two days. The fact that the silver-cloaked girl wanted so many compressed biscuits meant that she was indeed going to a very distant place.
“Thank you, Your Lordship.”
The silver-cloaked girl was quite happy after receiving the compressed biscuits. She handed the 50 silver coins over.
Richard didn’t hesitate to accept them.
Looking at her, he asked, “Madam, you seem to be a mage?”
The silver-cloaked girl showed a hint of vigilance again.
However, she was somewhat surprised shortly after.
Because a flame appeared in Richard’s hand.
This flame didn’t have much power, but it emitted magical fluctuations.
“So, Lord Richard is also a mage!” The silver-cloaked girl exclaimed.
Richard nodded and said, “I also became a mage by chance. I don’t know much about the world of mages. How many mages are there in this world?”
“There shouldn’t be many. I’m not very sure either. By the way, since Lord Richard is also a mage, this is for you.”
After saying this, the silver-cloaked girl took out a stone and gave it to Richard.
“This is a magic stone, very rare. Although there’s not much magic left in this one, it should be enough for Your Lordship to replenish once. Well, I must be on my way. Until we meet again!”
The silver-cloaked girl seemed to be in a hurry.
She took the 50 boxes of compressed biscuits given by Richard, left the castle, loaded them onto her horse, and rode away.
“Farewell Your Lordship!”
After bidding farewell to Richard, the silver-cloaked girl urged her horse and galloped away from the city. Soon, she left the city through the gate at the back of the castle and disappeared into the vast night.
Richard then looked at the magic stone. The structure inside the magic stone gave him the feeling of many tiny gaps and channels, like a honeycomb.
No, there were even more and finer gaps and channels inside than in a honeycomb.
There seemed to be some strange energy inside.
“Master, she is probably a half-elf.”
At this moment, Dorothy appeared and said.
