Chapter 78 The Journey Continues
Jiang You slept soundly, even dreaming of a handsome Doberman running freely in the forest, chasing rabbits and roe deer. In the rising sun, the dog's fur was glossy black, as if coated with a layer of gold.
"So handsome," Jiang You said, half asleep and half awake, smacking his lips while hugging his pillow. "I really want to have a dog."
She thought she would like the smiling angel Samoyed, or Teddy was also very cute, but after having this dream, she suddenly felt that the handsome and muscular Doberman was also good, very reliable and full of police dog style, handsome!
"I wonder if there are such handsome dogs in this world. I'll ask Andre someday... But then again, it's best to wait until the workshop is completely renovated before considering the issue of living pets. Oh, speaking of pets..."
Jiangyou opened the window and rubbed the rose gold bird pattern on the phalanx of his right index finger. A moment later, Xiao Nian Gao tore through the void and flew out, jumped onto Jiangyou's shoulder, rubbed Jiangyou's skull affectionately, and then handed her the claw with the mailbox tied to it.
Jiangyou fed her a ball of soul fire - of course, it was not the biological weapons given by the magicians, but the emotions of happiness and satisfaction given by the servants and hunters. Xiao Nian Gao ate it very happily. She gently rubbed Jiangyou's finger bones with her head to express her love.
Takumi took down the letter. It was a letter written by Aunt Wolf, Nasha, and Alexi.
Although Takumi left a contact book at the shop, Nasha's magic power was limited, so most of the time she could only read it and couldn't edit long messages. However, the shop's business had been booming recently, and in order to ensure the normal development of the store's takeout business and external communication, Takumi left the small rice cake at the shop so that everyone could still communicate through letters.
——This time they were going to the royal capital, not some wilderness villa with an unknown address, so Jiang You was not worried about the unexpected situation of not being able to contact his little bone eagle.
There weren't many important things in the letter, mostly just some trivial matters in the store: Nasha wrote about the store's business situation in great detail, almost copying all the detailed accounts; Aunt Wolf wrote a lot of interesting neighborhood gossip; Alexi reported to Jiangyou about the tofu production and that she had bought a nest of chicks to raise in the backyard and fed them with tofu dregs mixed with insects.
"Hey, that's great." Jiangyou glanced at the letter briefly. Seeing that there were no urgent issues requiring her attention, she put the letter aside and put it aside to read slowly on the way. She grabbed the paper and pen in the room and wrote back to each of the three people.
【To Naxia: Work hard, you can do it! 】
To Auntie Wolf: Aaaaaa, more fresh gossip! We've been doing fine on the road, too. We even met a very interesting magician and anorexic noble! Oh, and the mushrooms here are great. I'll have Little Rice Cake bring some back!
To Alexi: Great, great, keep it up! Can you make me a set with pockets and a belt? See pictures of the designs below.
In a few strokes, she sketched out a pocket-laden outdoor jacket and a tactical belt, noting the sizes of the small bottles she would need to store them. She then gazed at her masterpiece with satisfaction. "Great! This will make it easy to carry those biochemical soulfire weapons!"
In her conception, those soul fires should be able to be thrown directly like grenades. Throwing a small bottle of soul fire at the enemy, when the bottle shattered, the soul fire would naturally contaminate the enemy, infecting them with those inexpressible emotions.
She picked up a bottle of soul fire, feeling quite eager to try it out. "I really want to try it... but wouldn't it be a good idea to try it on my own people? What if I knock someone down... Oh, forget it, I'll talk about it later."
She fed Xiao Nian Gao some more soul fire and put the letter into the mailbox for Xiao Nian Gao to take back. "Okay, get ready to work. I also need to ask the boss to buy some mushrooms!"
The brown-robed druid was certainly skilled at finding mushrooms; they were fragrant, delicious, and non-toxic. Jiangyou considered trying to find Andrela to try and establish a stable mushroom supply with the owner. The green-eyed knight seemed to be familiar with the shop owner, so he should be reliable, right?
She knocked on the outer door and opened it a crack. The dog poked its head out furtively, covering its eye sockets with its sparse bony claws. "Andre, Jericho, are you guys up? Are you dressed properly?"
Andrei, who was looking at her through the gaps between his bone claws, said: "...Wear it."
Jiang You put down his bone claws with some regret, looked at the master and servant who had almost finished packing their luggage, and said, "I want to discuss business with the boss. Andre, are you familiar with the boss?"
"You want to buy mushrooms, right?" Andrei said, understandingly. "That's easy. The boss already runs a mushroom business, and the prices are pretty stable. Overall, they're quite affordable."
Just as Andre said, the boss had a mushroom price list, which clearly stated the price of each quantity of mushrooms, and the discounts available when meeting certain standards. There were even different fee options for self-pickup, mailing, and land transportation.
Although there was no room for bargaining, the price was clear and affordable. Jiangyou took a price list and bought another batch of mushrooms. He asked Xiaoniangao to send half of them back to the workshop and kept the other half for them to eat slowly on the way.
After sending the letter, Jiangyou occupied the kitchen for a while and made a simple breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of mutton buns and dumplings made last night, served with a pot of mutton broth left over from the kitchen. The remaining mutton was roasted by Jiangyou and wrapped in oil paper, which could be used as dry food on the road. It could be eaten by heating it over a fire.
She overslept and woke up late. When she came downstairs, Heidi and her group had already reheated the leftover porridge for breakfast, and the hunters had already set out hunting early in the morning. Only the magicians, who couldn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up during the day, got to eat some delicious food.
"We're going back to the academy today." Eslan, holding a steamed bun in his mouth, was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. "Master You, if you want to do business, you must come to our academy! There are hundreds of students like us who are hungry and need help!"
Jiang You couldn't help but laugh: "I know, I'll think about it."
As far as Jiangyou knows, medieval universities were generally small. Oxford University, founded in 1096, had fewer than a thousand students in its early years. Admissions requirements in the wizarding world are likely even more stringent, especially given that wizards often employ a small class model where one teacher recruits several direct apprentices who never graduate. With hundreds of students, the Royal Academy of Magic is considered a formidable institution.
