I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 41
After resting for two days, Alicia's body has improved significantly, but she still has little strength, but the food in the castle is finished.

Therefore, the procurement work was handed over to Xia Ya and Arthur.

Walking out of the door, it was another sunny day in Yingjiao Town. The warm sun tore through the white clouds and swayed down, illuminating this coastal town with a golden light, and the blue sea in the distance shimmered under the sea breeze.

Since Xiaya first came here, he discovered that the weather in this small town seems to be fine every day, and it is rare to see cloudy days.

Shaar turned his head and looked up the slope of this small town. On the hillside far away from the town, he could see the vines all over the mountain, neatly arranged.

However, these grapes are not used for eating, but for making wine. Although they are very sweet, they are also very acidic.

The warm and humid climate and abundant water make this town a good place to grow grapes, and the hillsides and trees can also well resist the wind from the westerly belt.

Although the town is close to the sea, its main industry is wine rather than fishing.

Because the port of this town is a deep-water port, it is used as a military port by the Britannian army, so many large-scale fishing and netting are prohibited, but fishing is allowed, and it is also possible to fish in places a little further away. Yes, so fish is cheap too.

The door in front of him opened, and a woman took a broom and swept the dust inside to the street. When she saw Arthur beside Shaar, she warmly greeted him.

"Good morning, little Arthur, where's your grandma?"

"She's sick," said Arthur, "somewhat unwell."

"Oh, that's too bad." The woman said dejectedly, "She was so energetic a few days ago."

After a pause, she asked again, "Do I need to do anything? I know a very good doctor."

"No need, she's almost fine today." Xia Ya said.

Hearing this, the woman raised her head to look at Shaar, she carefully sized him up, and then asked with some doubts.

"You are."

Xia's main activity venue these days is in the imperial capital, and the rest of the time he usually basks in the sun on the balcony, and rarely leaves Yingjiao Town, so the people here are not familiar with him.

After a pause, she suddenly said, "I see, you must be the son of Grandma Alicia!"

"Yes, my name is Char." Shaar nodded with his usual expression.

"I knew it!" the woman said happily, "I didn't expect that she had such a handsome son. Why have I never seen you before?"

"I just arrived." Shaar said, "We used to live in the imperial capital, but the environment in the imperial capital is really bad, the smell of soot is heavy, and the winter is too cold, so it is not suitable for old people to live in.

So I bought a house here and asked her to move here first. "

"That's how it is." The woman said with emotion, "I was thinking that such an old lady cleans such a dirty house by herself, thinking that her children and grandchildren should be unfilial, it's so pitiful.

Unexpectedly, she had such a filial son. "

Xia Ya sighed, "I originally thought about hiring two people to clean the house, but I guess the old man was not willing to spend money, so he came here without telling me."

Suddenly, the woman said with empathy, "Yes, some old people are so stubborn. My mother was like this before she died. They thought they were still young."

"No, he's tired and sick." Xia Ya said helplessly.

"The old man needs to supplement his nutrition when he is well." The woman said, "I'll ask my husband to bring you a cod later."

"How embarrassing is that." Xia said with a smile.

"Hey, we're all neighbors, so we help each other." The woman said, "Besides, it's near the sea, so the fish is cheaper than in the imperial capital."

Shaar smiled, and didn't continue to evade her kindness. He took out his pocket, took out a small object, and handed it to the woman.

"Then I will give this to you as a thank you gift."

The woman took the object curiously. It was a red bracelet with a small bell tied to it. The workmanship was exquisite.

"This is a gadget I made." Char said, "In the East, it symbolizes health, peace and everything goes well."

The woman looked very happy and said with a smile, "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

Shaar nodded to her, and then led Arthur along the slope towards the market.

The woman watched Xia's leaving back, stroked her blushing face, and said with emotion, "What a handsome young man."

"That person, should be Mrs. Foster who gave us fish a few days ago?" Shaar asked.

Arthur nodded, "Her husband sells fish in the market."

After a pause, Arthur couldn't help but said, "Grandma Dean said that lying is wrong."

"White lies are sometimes necessary." Xia Ya said solemnly, "Why don't you tell her I'm a wizard?"

Arthur nodded half-understanding.

While they were talking, they also came to bring the town's market, which is an extended road along the coast, with rows of houses on the left, and shop fronts on the right Sea, but there are also many vendors setting up stalls there.

It seems that because there is a port, there are also a lot of objects, not only fish, but also many products that are not available locally.

Arthur watched Shaar buy a bunch of miscellaneous parts, some things like wire and leather, he asked suspiciously.

"Didn't we come out to buy ingredients?"

"Yeah, I'm going to make vinegared wire and stir-fried leather at noon today." Xia Ya said seriously, "This is the wizard's set meal."

He looked at Arthur and teased, "Didn't you always want to be a wizard?"

Arthur's face was a little pale, "I think I shouldn't be hungry at noon today."

Xia chuckled twice, "Although you can distinguish good from evil, you can't distinguish lies."

"Were you lying to me just now?" Arthur reacted.

"I don't think even a wizard would like to eat this kind of thing." Xia Ya said, "These are the materials for making thousands of miles flying boots."

"Thousand Miles Flying Boots?"

Arthur put the joke behind him, and turned all his attention to this vocabulary.

"What do you do?" He asked excitedly.

He is very interested in these things, and has been begging Xia to teach him magic all this time.

Shaar seemed to want to say something, but suddenly, he took a step back abruptly, and pulled the dazed Arthur towards a fish stand.

"Don't make a sound." Shaar whispered, "Don't turn your head either."

Arthur seemed to realize something, his body froze slightly, although his eyes didn't move, but the corner of his eyes still turned to one side curiously.

His perception is very strong, and he found something wrong almost instantly.

Among the passing crowd, there are two very special "persons" who are looking around, looking for something. They are tall, wearing gorgeous coachman uniforms, wearing eye patches, and their skin is not like normal people, but more like It was made of rubber, but the people around didn't notice it.

As they slowly approached, Arthur's body became more and more stiff, and his breathing stopped slightly.

But fortunately, the two rubber men didn't notice them. When they were about to arrive here, they seemed to be attracted by something, turned and left here.

Xia quietly stared at the backs of the two leaving, silent, without words.

"What's that?" Arthur asked.

"Servant of the Witch of the Wilderness." Shaar murmured softly.

Shaar was not surprised by this. From the moment Alicia came to the castle, the arrival of the Witch of the Wilderness was already a matter of time.

"Wild Witch!" Arthur opened his eyes slightly.

Xia asked with some interest, "Do you know her?"

"Alicia told me," Arthur said nervously, "She said it was a supervillain,"

Shaar nodded, suddenly, he said.

"How about having eggplant for lunch?"

"What?"

Arthur was a little uncomfortable with Shaar's jumping rhythm, he couldn't help but said.

"Shouldn't we care about the Witch of the Wild now?"

"Then you won't eat at noon?" Xia Ya said solemnly, "You have the strength to deal with villains when you are full, don't you?"

The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched slightly, and he complained, "Alicia said that you are heartless, and it really looks like that."

"Then do you eat eggplant?" Xia asked again.

"Don't eat it!" Arthur shook his head. "Eggplant is the worst food in the world."

"Okay." Xia nodded and confirmed, "Since you want to eat it so much, then eat eggplant at noon today!"

Arthur was taken aback for a moment, and even thought he had heard it wrong. He said angrily, "Did you hear it wrong! I don't want to eat it!"

But Shaar has already dragged him to the vegetable stand to buy eggplants.
