Chapter 62

The news was brought by Augustus.

The messenger from the capital went directly to the city lord's mansion and informed City Lord Dean of the matter. Upon receiving the news, City Lord Dean immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

"But why did His Majesty the King suddenly summon me?" Jiang Li asked puzzledly: "If it's because of the beast tide, it's been so long, why is it mentioned now?"

And he has been staying in Dolei City well. During this period of time, Dolei City has been calm and there has been no major event like the beast tide. Jiang Li thought: He has always been low-key and has not done anything earth-shattering.

In fact, there really is.

Augustus said in surprise: "Jiang Li, have you forgotten the rice?"

Jiang Li: "Rice?"

Augustus said: "Yes, Dore City has new seeds and crops, and we certainly did not forget to present these precious plants to His Majesty the King. When the rice was harvested, we sent people to deliver it to the capital."

Other vegetables may not be convenient to transport, but rice is a good thing. As long as it is well packaged, it can be stored for a long, long time. Therefore, when Lord Dean reported the changes in Dore City to His Majesty the King, he also asked someone to bring a bag of rice.

This new crop that has never been seen before really aroused His Majesty the King's curiosity. Seeing the shocking high yield described in the letter, it was difficult for His Majesty the King not to pay attention.

Of course, in the official document, Lord Dean did not forget the real hero-Jiang Li who provided these seeds.

"...So, His Majesty the King wants to see you in person." Augustus winked at him and whispered, "Besides, the Queen likes the mirror you gave her very much."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment before realizing what mirror he was talking about.

One day before, Augustus asked him to buy a full-length mirror for him. There are no mirrors in the other world, and the mirrors sold in supermarkets are only the size of a palm, not as big as floor-length mirrors. Jiang Li helped him buy many times and did not refuse. Knowing that it was to be given to a noble woman, he specially picked out an oversized full-length mirror with a retro court style on the Internet. It can reflect a person from head to toe, and it also has an exquisitely carved frame, so it will not look cheap when given as a gift.

Augustus accepted the mirror gratefully. Jiang Li originally thought that the blond noble had found the daughter of a noble family, but later he did not wait for any good news from the City Lord's Mansion.

"There is no time to waste, Jiang Li." Augustus said excitedly: "My father and I have agreed that I will bring people to accompany you to the capital this time. When will we set off?"

Jiang Li thought for a while: "In a few days.

" Augustus became nervous: "You don't want to go?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, I still need to make some preparations."

"What preparations?" Augustus was puzzled: "The capital is more prosperous than Dore City. There is everything there, and the road is very safe. I sent Ophelia to school before, and I will let people take care of everything that needs to be prepared. What else do you need to prepare?"

That's too much.

Jiang Li has been in the other world for so long, but he has never left Dolei City. He has only heard about the world outside Dolei City from other adventurers. Just when there was an opportunity, Jiang Li's curiosity came out, and he wanted to see other races on the mainland. It is said that there are really dragons in the other world.

But they are dragons!

What if he encounters one?

Curiosity aside, preparations for the trip still need to be made.

First of all, as far as Jiang Li knows, the way of traveling in the other world is not very comfortable. For example, his teacher Messenar has been walking in the Lalan Continent for so many years, sleeping in the open air, literally drinking dew and eating northwest wind. If he didn't know magic, he might have starved himself to death in the wild.

Not to mention other adventurers, who spend most of their time surviving in the wild, hunting monsters, sleeping on the ground in the open air, and only replenishing supplies when they stop in cities occasionally. Before the emergence of supermarkets, their three meals a day were dry bread, roughly cooked monster meat, and wild vegetables.

As a person who grew up surrounded by delicious food, Jiang Li would never let his stomach down. He first went to the magic store to buy a magic backpack with the largest space, and filled it with all kinds of easy-to-store food, instant food, grains, oils, seasonings, snacks, and drinks, and yes, enough daily necessities. Since he couldn't carry a refrigerator with him, he went to buy a few magic ice boxes with similar functions and filled them with frozen food.

Thanks to the magic!

When traveling far away, it is so convenient to have a space prop to assist you!

Referring to the experience of the adventurer customers who came to the supermarket, Jiang Li also visited Morton's Pharmacy and bought enough magic potions for himself to deal with unexpected accidents during the journey. At the same time, he also prepared some modern medicines, just in case.

Oh, and there are important armor.

Magic stores sell some magic armor. Most of them are in the appearance of jewelry, which is convenient for people to carry. They are engraved with magic circles. Some can withstand a powerful attack, some can warn when they sense dangerous monsters nearby, and some can help their owners avoid disasters. Similarly, the price is very expensive, and only the nobles will wear them. But Jiang Li was not short of money. He went to the magic shop and armed himself from head to toe.

Watching him busy preparing and thinking about how he used to go out, Augustus was silent for a moment and hesitated: "Is it necessary to make so many preparations?"

They are going to the capital, not the Demon King's Castle, right?

Jiang Li said seriously: "I heard from the adventurers that they once encountered demons outside."

"Yes, but..."

"What if we are unlucky?"

Augustus: "..."

The blond noble thought: ... Maybe the demons ran away first?

As everyone knows, the owner of the supermarket is a great magician with unfathomable strength. The monsters he hunted in the forest were more dangerous than one another, and they were much more dangerous than ordinary demons. Who is more afraid?

In addition to the necessary preparations, there is another most important thing.

That is what to do with the supermarket.

Jiang Li is not in Dore City, so of course he can't run the supermarket. He plans to close the supermarket. But before this idea is put forward, Messenner put forward his own opinion.

"I can." The silver-haired elf said, "I can help you."

"Teacher?!"

"I have memorized the prices of most of the goods. It's very simple."

Jiang Li was very moved. At the same time, he was surprised: "But, teacher, won't you go with me?"

Messenner shook his head and said seriously: "My soybeans have sprouted."

Jiang Li: "..."

That's right, after their land was destroyed by monsters, the elves found a safer piece of land and started planting those crops again.

Compared with going to the royal capital, it is obvious that the plants in the land that need careful care are more important.

"Okay..." Jiang Li had to say: "Then I'll leave it to you, teacher."

Since the supermarket has to continue to operate, Jiang Li will replenish the inventory in the warehouse to cope with future operations. After that, he posted a notice at the door of the modern supermarket, indicating that he was going on a long trip and would be closed for a while.

When Granny Chen came to buy things, she couldn't help muttering: "Xiao Jiang, you don't usually do business, and now you have to go on a long trip... Your supermarket will not go bankrupt, right?"

Jiang Li laughed and glossed over it.

Then he asked Morton to work overtime temporarily to prepare the hair growth and slimming drugs for the next few months in advance, and sent them to Lin Chengrui to inform him that he would be out of contact for a while.

After checking and confirming that there was nothing missing, Jiang Li really planned to set off.

Although he had lived in the other world for a long time, he had not faced the real danger of the other world. Although he had made full preparations, Jiang Li was still full of anxiety before leaving.

He went to find Messenner: "Teacher, is there any escape magic that I can use at the critical moment?"

Messenner looked at his student quietly.

Jiang Li touched his nose: "You also know... I am actually very weak."

Messenner said nothing.

Maybe people in Leicheng don't know the inside story, but as a teacher, no one knows better than him how fast students grow.

When they first met, his strength was indeed not strong. He only knew the simplest basic magic and didn't know how to use his magic well. But now it's different.

Although it was his first time as a teacher, Messenner didn't hide anything when teaching his students. He knew that his students had unlimited potential, and he couldn't wait to see his students grow to the same level as himself. Therefore, in his daily teaching, he didn't proceed step by step like an orthodox magic school, but passed on all his thousands of years of experience.

And Jiang Li did not disappoint his expectations. Like a sponge with excellent performance, he quickly absorbed all the knowledge. If students in magic schools understand their teaching process, they will be surprised to find that even the legendary magic that is thought to be almost impossible to learn often appears in their teaching process.

The students who make the world's number one magician proud are definitely not weak.

Messenner said slowly: "When you encounter a difficult opponent, you can release your magic power."

"My magic power? Then what?"

"That's it."

Jiang Li muttered: "Is that all? Will it work?"

Why does it sound so unreliable.

The release of magic power will create pressure and has no other use. It is mainly used to shock the opponent. It is also a way to sense the opponent's strength.

The more powerful the magician, the greater the magic power. When they release magic power, the opponent will know the difference between the two. In front of a powerful enemy, if there is no determination to fight to the death, the opponent will choose to give up in most cases.

If the magic power in the body of an ordinary magician is a pool of water, a stream, or a river, then Jiangli is the vast ocean.

Messenner looked away.

After his students learned to control magic power, even the long-lived elves were occasionally surprised by the terrifying magic power of the students.
