Chapter 69

The royal knights escorted Jiang Li and Augustus back to the temporary inn.

When the carriage stopped at the door of the inn, it attracted countless eyes. Perhaps it was because there were many great figures in the royal capital. Although people's eyes were full of curiosity, no one came forward to talk.

Jiang Li held the freshly-made purchase order and read it over and over again. It was stamped with the official seal of the kingdom. The kingdom and the supermarket have reached a cooperation. From now on, they will regularly purchase a certain amount of convenience food for the warriors on the border, and they will send out the first batch of goods after Jiang Li returns to Dolei City. He touched his arms again, and the advance deposit had been given to him in advance.

Jiang Li guessed that this was probably a gesture of goodwill from the king.

Jiang Li put away the purchase order and looked out the window. After staying in the palace for half a day, it was still early, enough for him to go to the capital for a walk. It was a rare opportunity to come to the capital, so he might as well take a trip and experience the customs and practices of different places in the other world.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Li looked over when he heard the sound. Is it Augustus?

He got up and opened the door, and what caught his eye was a shining light golden head. Unlike the brilliant golden hair of Dean and his sister, the hair color of the visitor was very light, and with a neat white robe, it was as if he had a layer of halo filter.

Before Jiang Li could react, the man grabbed his hand enthusiastically, his violet eyes sparkling: "You are Jiang Li, right?"

Jiang Li:?

Brian leaned over with his upper body, but his eyes had already passed him and looked into the room. He couldn't wait to ask: "Where are those rice cookers, microwave ovens, air conditioners, refrigerators? Have you brought them to the capital? Can I take a look? Where can I buy them? In the supermarket? Why haven't I seen them in the supermarket? Do I need to be a member to buy them?"

A series of questions were like a continuous attack, confusing Jiang Li: "Wait, you..." Who are you? !

How did this person know about rice cookers and other electrical appliances? !

Seeing Jiang Li's confusion, Brian realized that he was a little too abrupt. He let go of Jiang Li's hand, took a step back, and saluted solemnly. His light blond hair was neatly groomed, his white robe was smooth and clean, spotless, he had a slender figure, handsome face, and a gentle smile. He was like every holy clergyman in the Vatican, noble and dignified, and looked unapproachable.

If Jiang Li hadn't seen his other side before.

"Excuse me." Brian said politely: "I'm Brian Fielding. I heard that the owner of the supermarket stayed here, so I came to visit."

"Mr. Fielding..."

"Just call me Brian."

Jiang Li: "..." You don't blame me for being so polite.

"Mr. Brian." Jiang Li said cautiously, "Where did you hear that?"

Could it be that he had just arrived in the capital and had already attracted the attention of countless people? Could it be that someone had set their sights on the supermarket?

Brian readily said, "My classmate Dean told me."

"Dean..." Ophelia? !

"Dean is my student. I am her teacher of the magic circle course at the magic academy."

Jiang Li thought of the magic circle at the gate of the capital that he couldn't understand. It turned out that it was made by the man in front of him?

After a few casual pleasantries, Brian went straight to the point: "I have always been curious about the products in the supermarket. I have done some research on magic circles and alchemy, but the products in the supermarket have nothing to do with either of them." He took out the No. 5 battery from his pocket: "You use batteries instead of magic as energy, so what do you use to replace the composition of the magic circle?"

In an instant, the enthusiastic look of the dwarf Eugene appeared in front of Jiang Li.

The enthusiasm in the eyes of the elegant and holy young man in front of him was no less. As he spoke, he approached Jiang Li. When Jiang Li came to his senses, the young man had already sat on the sofa in the reception area.

"...I heard from Dean that you have a lot of magical technology props." Brian's eyes were bright, and he began to talk about his interests: "The prop called rice cooker can cook food automatically, microwave oven can heat food without flame, air conditioner, refrigerator, and a tool called mobile phone... It's incredible!"

Jiang Li repeated: "Technology?"

Brian: "That's what Dean said, isn't it called that?"

Jiang Li: "...It is indeed called that."

Brian said: "I want to buy these props that run on electricity as energy from you."

Jiang Li refused skillfully: "Sorry, these are not for sale in the supermarket. I can't tell you his secrets, these are business secrets."

Brian was not discouraged, as if he knew he would refuse, so he immediately said: "I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Jiang Li was stunned.

"Let magic and technology be integrated into one, and make better magic props!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly stood up, reaching for his pocket.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and with a loud "dong" sound, Jiang Li subconsciously touched the position of the staff, and saw Brian took out a strange round device from his pocket. It had a big round head and stood on the ground, looking a bit like...

Brian took out a small fan bought from the supermarket: "In fact, after seeing the small fans sold in the supermarket, I once tried to make a similar product."

Jiang Li:?

Jiang Li looked at the strange big round-headed prop again, and he hesitated for a moment: "You mean, this is a fan?"

The young man nodded proudly.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the baffle in front of him - it turned out that one of the sides was detachable. The next moment, a gust of wind blew towards him. The wind was so strong that Jiang Li could hardly open his eyes. He felt that his face was hurt by the wind, and there was a crackling sound behind him. It was the sound of the decoration being blown down by the wind.

Brian pulled him and he left the range of the violent wind. Looking closely, it was said to be a fan, but there were no blades in the magic prop, only a glowing magic circle, and the strong wind was emitted by the magic circle.

Jiang Li: "..."

This doesn't look like a fan at all!

Brian put the baffle back, and the violent wind in the house stopped. He said, "Compared with the products sold in supermarkets, my work is too crude. It is just the superposition of multiple magic circles. It is not difficult at all. Therefore, I am also curious about their structure. Although I don't know how batteries are made, we can use magic power instead of electricity."

Jiang Li: "Magic power instead of electricity?"

"I've disassembled the products in the supermarket. Whether it's a fan, a flashlight, or something else, they all have a set of independently operated structures, which are very similar to the principle of the magic circle." Brian explained: "If we figure out the principle, I think it will be very helpful for the improvement of the magic circle."

Jiang Li thought: This is different from the dwarves who are determined to take the mechanical route.

"As far as I know, although you have a unique product like batteries, the prices of supermarket products are very low. A small fan like this only costs thirty silver coins." After the things were transported to the capital, the price also increased. "Can I understand that compared to magic, technology can be quickly copied and is very efficient?"

Brian looked at the fan in his hand with shining eyes, "If magic and the convenience of technology are combined, then-"

"Dongdong"

The door was knocked again.

"Jiang Li?" Augustus asked from outside: "What happened? I heard you making a lot of noise."

Jiang Li looked at the young man in white robe in front of him and replied loudly: "Nothing."

Augustus: "Really?"

There were a few more footsteps outside the door, and soon, the knock on the door sounded again.

"Brian." Then came an old and steady voice: "You should have made enough of the nonsense."

Jiang Li noticed that the enthusiasm on the face of the light blond young man in front of him suddenly waned, and relying on the fact that people outside could not see, he showed an obvious expression of impatience.

"If you've thought about it." Brian quickly said to Jiang Li, "You can come to the Vatican to find me. Just tell me my name and you can see me."

Jiang Li: "Vatican?"

Brian shrugged at him, and Jiang Li noticed that the white robe on his body was different from the usual robe. It was more like the style commonly worn by clergymen.

But...

before Brian turned around and left, Jiang Li hurriedly said, "I won't cooperate with you, Mr. Brian."

Brian turned around suddenly: "Why!"

"I'm just an ordinary supermarket owner." Jiang Li: "Besides, I'm going back to Dore City soon."

"Dore City?" Brian walked back quickly, and in the background of the knock on the door, he said hurriedly: "You can stay in the capital, I will arrange everything for you, believe me, I must be a very good collaborator!"

"In fact, I already have a collaborator." If dwarves can be counted. Jiang Li said.

Brian was stunned, and his light golden hair seemed to lose its luster all of a sudden: "Is there a collaborator? Could it be that someone already knows the secrets of technology?"

"Yes."

"Those rice cookers, refrigerators... he knows everything?"

"Yes."

"..."

Brian asked cautiously: "Then can I also..."

Jiang Li politely refused: "Sorry."

"..."

For Ophelia's sake, he could actually make a copy of the notes given to the dwarf to the young man in white robe in front of him, but his identity as a clergyman made Jiang Li wary, and more importantly, his brain was not a machine, and he couldn't write out all those theories by hand.

Not being in Dore City is inconvenient. Therefore, Jiang Li could only say sorry.

The door was knocked twice again: "Brian!"

Brian walked out sadly.

There were many clergymen standing outside the door, all wearing similar white robes, except that some styles were more complicated. Leading the group was an old man with a white beard. He glared at the young man in front of him sternly: "Brian, how much time are you going to waste on things that have nothing to do with your duties? Don't waste your talent as a clergyman!"

"Got it." Brian responded absent-mindedly and walked forward disappointedly.

The old man in white robe suppressed his anger and followed: "If you really care about this matter, you shouldn't sneak out early on the prayer day! Brian, you were blessed by the goddess when you were born, and you have an outstanding bright talent, but you always..."

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."

"Brian!"

"If I can calm your anger, I am willing to be exiled to other cities... By the way, how about Dolei City?"

"You-you-"

The voice gradually faded away, perhaps because he was concerned about being in front of the public, the old man's angry voice was quickly suppressed. Then there was the sound of chaotic footsteps passing by the stairs, and soon, these clergy got on the carriage waiting at the door of the hotel and left.

Augustus retracted his gaze and asked blankly: "Jiang Li, when did you get involved with the clergy?"

Jiang Li said helplessly: "I didn't want to."

...

Fortunately, perhaps because he was controlled by other people in the Holy See, Jiang Li never saw the clergy who suddenly visited again.

But after hearing his name, Augustus was very surprised and said: "It's Fielding?"

"Is he famous?"

"Yes, he is very famous in the field of magic circles. Many magic props nowadays are his inventions." Augustus gave an example: "Just like your favorite magic backpack, it was his work when he just became an adult."

Speaking of magic backpacks, it is really easy to use, especially when traveling long distances. Not only can it hold a lot of things, but it will not become heavy because of its overly large capacity. It is Jiang Li's favorite magic prop from another world. He couldn't help but say, "That's really a genius invention."

Augustus also nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect to see him here."

But this had nothing to do with the two of them.

Next, they stayed in the royal capital for a few more days. It was a rare trip to the royal capital, and Jiang Li experienced the local customs and culture, and also tasted many famous alien world dishes.

The food in the alien world depends most on the taste of the ingredients themselves, and the restaurants in the royal capital often receive princes and nobles, and there are countless rare ingredients here. Under the attack of money, Jiang Li tasted a lot of expensive monster meat, some of which had a unique flavor and were delicious without complicated cooking methods, which opened his eyes.

After a few days of fun, the two packed their bags and left the royal capital.

I found my car from where I had parked it. It was protected by magic, so no monsters or people came near it. Apart from some dust, the car was still in its original state.

After cleaning it with magic, I re-arranged the illusion magic, sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and set off in the direction of Dolei City.
