Chapter 45

The moment Augustus finished speaking, Jiang Li almost jumped up.

A figure flashed quickly before his eyes, and when Augustus came to his senses, the strange music stopped. The sound disappeared, but his pale face did not ease much. He

turned off the alarm clock in a flash, put his phone in his pocket, and asked calmly: "Augustus, do you want some dessert after dinner?"

"No... What is that? Jiang Li?" Augustus murmured: "I heard music in that strange thing, and I often see you holding it. What is that thing? Why is there someone in it?"

"How about cake? Or chocolate?"

"..."

Dean, the young city lord, stared at him stubbornly with his azure eyes, with a vigilant expression. It seemed that as long as Jiang Li couldn't give a suitable answer, he would call the guards of Dolei City to arrest Jiang Li and put him in prison.

"Okay." Jiang Li had to take out his mobile phone again. After a brainstorm, he quickly found a reasonable answer for the existence of the mobile phone: "This is a magic prop." "

...Magic prop?"

"Yes." Jiang Li said affirmatively.

"..."

Augustus relaxed visibly: "That's good, I thought it was some dangerous soul magic. You know, there are many evil magicians in the world who don't care about human life. They have developed many ways to torture souls." As he said this, he glanced at the silver-haired elf beside the fireplace calmly, and then quickly retracted his eyes.

The conversation behind the pancake stall at the Winter Snow Festival had already been quietly transmitted to Dean Castle. In this house, there is a magician who masters evil magic. Fortunately, up to now, the city of Dolei has been peaceful and no accidents have occurred.

Augustus soon became curious: "What kind of magic prop is this?

Jiang Li: "Well... it can store sounds and play them repeatedly."

"Store sounds? "

Jiang Li turned on the recording function and recorded a clip on the spot.

Messenner, who was sitting next to the succulent tree and reading a magic book, looked up. He did not find any magical elements on the prop. But he did not expose his student.

When Jiang Li's slightly distorted voice came out of the mobile phone, Augustus widened his blue eyes in disbelief.

Of course, he did not doubt the magic of the supermarket. Unless Jiang Li locked his soul in the magic prop, even the most evil magician would not think of doing something to him.

Augustus was eager to try: "What else? I often see you holding this magic prop in your hand, doing something else. "

Jiang Li was playing Candy Crush most of the time, but he couldn't explain to the humans in the other world what video games were, so he could only say vaguely: "I'm testing its functions."

"What else can it do?"

"Calculate? Take pictures? Tell time? "

As he said this, Jiang Li remembered the purpose of setting the alarm. He hurried to the kitchen and brought out the strawberry cake he bought in the afternoon. Thanks to the fact that the temperature indoors in Dore City was not much warmer than the temperature outdoors, the cream still maintained its original shape.

The fluffy cream was like a cloud, clustered with tempting strawberries piled into the shape of a small tower. As Jiang Li walked in with the cake in his hand, the sweet aroma of the cream also came over. Augustus' attention really shifted to the strawberry cake.

Because eggs and milk were added to it, elves could not eat it, so only the two of them shared it. Augustus didn't mind making some room in his stomach, which was already filled with seafood. He picked up a strawberry dipped in cream, still a little lingering: "It can also calculate? To what extent can it do it? ”

“The simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are no problem.”

“Can numbers above three digits be OK?”

“Of course.” Jiang Li said, “Any number will do.”

Augustus’ eyes lit up immediately: “Jiang Li, I want it too!”

“You?”

“At the end of every month, the tax collector will send in a pile of reports.” Augustus poked the fork in his hand into the cake and gritted his teeth: “And my father always uses the excuse of being drunk to leave those headache-inducing numbers to me.”

“If it’s just for calculations, you can just buy a calculator.”

“Calculator?”

Jiang Li nodded, his eyes subconsciously looking for the supermarket shelves, but he couldn’t find it. He said, “You can buy it at the supermarket.”

Augustus: “What about the recording just now?”

Jiang Li: “Tape recorder? "

Notes?"

"There are notebooks and pens."

"Time..."

Jiang Li pointed to the clock hanging on the wall: "Maybe you want this one?"

"Of course." Augustus agreed immediately, but his eyes still glanced at the pocket where he put his mobile phone, and he was still a little lingering, "If..."

Jiang Li refused directly: "This won't work."

Augustus: "..."

Since becoming a loyal customer of the supermarket, this is the first time he has received such a firm rejection.

The blond nobleman ate an extra piece of cake depressedly.

Until the hand of the clock on the wall pointed to late at night, he stood up and said goodbye with a lingering feeling.

"I hope I can have the opportunity to receive your invitation next time." Augustus untied the reins of the horse and thanked: "Both seafood and strawberry cake are delicious. "

Snowflakes were falling from the sky again, and the snow had accumulated to a thickness as high as feet on the ground, and was getting thicker and thicker. The winter in Dolei City is exceptionally long and cold. Even if you put a hot pack inside your clothes and wrap yourself in a thick fur cloak, it can still make you feel freezing. This place is quite a distance away from the city lord's mansion, and there are no street lights on the roads on both sides.

Jiang Li hesitated: "Are you going back like this?"

Augustus said as a matter of course: "Of course."

"It's so dark now, isn't the road too dangerous?"

Augustus took out the therapeutic medicine he carried with him from his arms and said confidently: "Don't worry, I've prepared it."

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li: "…………"

Next to the succulent tree, Messenner raised his head from the magic book and saw the blond nobleman who had just left walking back behind Jiang Li.

Augustus was full of joy, "You want to invite me to stay overnight, really? And I haven't prepared anything, wouldn't that be too offensive?"

Jiang Li: "It doesn't matter, there are many empty rooms at home." There

are spare bedding and extra toiletries in the house.

Jiang Li took the person to the bathroom, and as soon as he walked in, the blond nobleman couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What is this?" Augustus looked at himself opposite him with a pale face. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a gorgeous dress. He raised his left hand, and the person opposite him also raised his right hand. Except that they were facing opposite directions, the two people were almost identical, even their hair was exactly the same. Countless conjectures emerged from his mind: "My soul..."

Jiang Li sighed: "This is a mirror."

"Mirror?" It

's not that mirrors don't exist in the other world, but they are not that clear. After reacting, Augustus looked at himself in front of him in doubt, and then saw the clear mirror, in which there was not only himself, but also Jiang Li's figure.

"How can it be so clear?" He couldn't help but say: "Even the king's palace would not be so clear..."

He quickly remembered that everything in the supermarket was magical.

Augustus swallowed his curiosity. Fortunately, apart from the mirror, the bathroom was not changed more than he remembered. However, when he touched the towel that Jiang Li prepared for him, his palm couldn't help but linger for a moment because of its soft and skin-friendly touch. After

washing his body with shower gel and shampoo, and carefully cleaning his teeth with a toothbrush, and then changing into a set of coral fleece quilted pajamas, Augustus skillfully put his feet into the soft cotton slippers. He slipped on the slippers, and even if his movements were light, there was still a clicking sound under his feet.

Following the direction illuminated by the magic lamp hanging in the corridor, he walked to a bedroom with an open door, which was the guest room prepared for him.

Augustus lifted the seemingly thick quilt, and after lying down, he couldn't help but be surprised by the soft feeling under his body. He touched the mattress, and couldn't imagine what kind of monster fur was underneath. He covered himself with the quilt, and the cold was isolated outside the quilt. His cold feet soon warmed up, and he even sweated a little. More importantly, the quilt was incredibly light.

He turned his head and looked at the light source in the room. The magic lamp shines all year round and will not go out. Ordinary people would light candles in their bedrooms, but Jiang Li was afraid of causing a fire, so he only placed a table lamp at the head of his bed. Augustus touched this strange-looking "magic lamp" from head to toe. He touched a raised switch, and with a click, the light went out.

Augustus: “…?!”

Click, click, click… The lights in the guest room flickered for half the night before the guests in the mansion finally fell asleep contentedly.

…

The next morning, a piercing ring rang throughout the mansion.

Augustus suddenly woke up from his sleep, but the sound was like a ghost haunting him. He subconsciously reached out to the side, but he didn’t touch his sword.

A monster is attacking Dore City? !

The blond nobleman threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed. He rushed out quickly: "Jiang Li...!"

Jiang Li stood outside the door with an alarm clock in his hand. The piercing sound came from the alarm clock in his hand. Seeing Augustus get up, he turned off the alarm clock and said innocently: "You woke up."

Augustus: "..." It turned out

that it was not a monster attack.

He relaxed: "I thought Duolei City was attacked."

"Because you slept for a long time, I was afraid to disturb your sleep, but it's late." Jiang Li said: "Do you want to have breakfast? Or lunch?"

Augustus glanced at the clock in his hand and was surprised to find that he had slept through half of the morning. He had never been so lazy.

He followed Jiang Li downstairs. The silver-haired elf was still sitting in the same position as yesterday, basking in the sun with the succulent tree. Outside the window, the snow had been cleared to create a path for people to walk on. A furry sparrow was jumping on a bare tree in the courtyard.

The breakfast on the table was cold. Jiang Li reheated it for him and said, "The City Lord's Mansion sent someone over early this morning. I didn't wake you up because there was nothing important."

Augustus was ashamed of his impoliteness and stammered to thank him.

He didn't stay long. When he took the letter sent by the City Lord's Mansion from Jiang Li, opened it and read the contents, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

As the young lord of Duolei City, he has a lot of official duties. In addition to the affairs in the city and the daily defense against the monsters outside the city, the spring of Duolei City is coming, and he is busy looking for more land suitable for planting outside the range of monster activities outside the city, so that more farmland can be reclaimed after the arrival of spring to sow the seeds provided by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li sent him out the door and looked up at the bright sun in the sky.

Because it was the New Year, he was lazy and did not get up early to open the supermarket as usual. He just pushed his bicycle out of the house and rode slowly towards the shopping street.

After the New Year, spring will soon come. In

the new year, in addition to running his own supermarket, Jiang Li also plans to renovate the house in the other world. He bought a diesel generator, connected the wires, and used home appliances. He was really tired of living without electricity.

And a flush toilet!
