Count of Wizards

Chapter 34: Danielle

Hearing that this dirty little girl was actually trying to give back the pennies he had rewarded her, Connor's frowning brows were also relieved, and said lightly: "This money... Yours, take it, don’t pay me back!"

   Although I heard Connor clearly said that the money does not need to be returned to him, the little girl shook her head and stubbornly handed the money over.

Two people, one big and one small, stared like this for about a minute. Seeing this little girl so persistent, Connor shook his head and took the money back from the little girl’s dirty hands and laughed. He said: "I followed your request to get the money back, now it's your turn to comply with my request!"

   pointed to the sun in the sky that was scorching the earth like a fireball, Connor smiled and said, "It's noon, go to lunch with me!"

   "I...have no money!" The little girl whispered:

   "Oh? That's it, then I now hire you to find a restaurant for me. As a commission, how about I invite you to dinner?" Connor said with interest:

  When Connor was about to hire herself, the little girl nodded happily.

Following the little girl, turning around and crossing several alleys, Connor came to a street where there were more people than there were on Queen Street in Ruen’s main business district. But I think that compared to the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies walking back and forth on Queen Street, the people on this street seem to be closer to the bottom of society.

   "Old clothes! Old clothes! Adult clothes a fivepence! Children's clothes a twopence! If you can't buy it, you won't suffer, you can't be fooled!"

   "Fresh potatoes! I just pulled them from the village in the morning, I can eat one for the whole day!"

   "Black bread! Black bread! A black bread is only a penny!"

All kinds of vendors stood on the side of the road and yelled vigorously, soliciting as many customers as possible for themselves, smelling the horses, donkeys, cattle and livestock manure brought by vendors on both sides of the road and the stench from the sewer pipes, Connor I can't help but wrinkle my nose.

  "This is the Southern District, isn't it?" It seemed that something had been thought of, Connor asked the little girl who was leading him;

In the city of Ruen, the eastern district where Conner Apartment is located belongs to the area where aristocratic capitalists live. The western district is close to the dock, so most of life is dockworkers and their families. The northern district is where factories gather, so they live. Most of them are workers and their families. The total area of ​​the three districts, the east, the west, and the north, account for only 50% of the city of Luen. The remaining 50% is the southern district!

Most of the southern districts are villages within the city. It is the most prosperous commercial city on the west coast of the Ruen Empire, and the area where the people at the bottom live. There are quite a few people in the surrounding small cities and rural areas who admire the prosperity of Ruen and come to explore. The place where people who can't afford the high rents live, where sewage flows, there is almost no modern infrastructure, and the living conditions are extremely bad!

The little girl glanced at Connor, and on her dirty little face, there was a wry smile that did not match her age and said: "This is Levante Avenue in the North District, and the South District is much worse than here... ·····"

   Connor's face blushed and he could only laugh a few awkwardly, but in his heart he couldn't help but secretly startled. This place is much worse than his rental house on the earth.

   walked to the middle of this Levante Avenue, led Conner's little girl looking for food, and stopped in front of a shop called "Stirling's Pie Shop".

   "Uncle Sterling's pie is delicious. He used to be the chef of the Tottenham Hotel in the city, and Uncle Sterling is very good, and the pie is very affordable!" The little girl whispered:

"Oh? The chef of the Tottenham Hotel?" Connor was a little interested after listening to the little girl's description. If he remembers correctly, the Tottenham Hotel is a three-star hotel, which can already be called in Ruen The Shangxiao is well-known, and the chefs from where they come out should be very good!

   "Let's go! I'm going to taste it today, what is the taste of the pie here!" Touching the little girl's head, Connor waved his hand and said:

When he walked into this "Stirling Pie Shop" and looked at it slightly, Connor couldn't help but nodded secretly. This pie shop on Levante Avenue, although the decoration and tableware were inferior to those of the restaurants he ate in the East Side, But at least the tableware, tables, floor... etc. are all very clean. It can be clearly seen that the owner of this shop is running this pie shop very carefully!

It was lunchtime, and this pie shop was at a time when the crowd was full of people. The shop was about 100 square meters full of seats. Just when Connor was about to pay for a new seat, she said that the little girl was already fast-eyed and rushed to grab a seat. Arrived at a guest's position who had just left after eating.

"Little Daniel, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, what do you have to eat today? This gentleman is...?" A middle-aged uncle with gray hair, wearing an apron, and a kindly smiling shop owner left. Coming over, he walked closer and saw Connor sitting with this little girl, the uncle's eyes not only showed doubts.

Before the little girl could answer, Connor said first: "You are the boss Mr. Sterling here, right? I was hungry at noon. I happened to meet this little girl, so I asked her to be my guide and help me find The restaurant, the commission is for me to invite her to dinner, I don’t know Mr. Sterling, what is your signature feature here?"

   "Uncle Sterling has the best pork pie here!" The little girl sitting on the other side of the table whispered:

   A smile appeared on Connor's face, and he said faintly: "Then let's get ten pork pies first."

   "Ten...?" Uncle Sterling's kind face showed a strange expression, and he opened his mouth as if hesitating to say something...

Seeing Sterling look like this, Connor frowned slightly, took out a one-gold note from his wallet and patted it on the dining table. At the size of this store, one gold was at least his net income for a week. !

"Guest, you are misunderstood. The pork pie here is very generous, and an adult strong man may be full after eating two! So for ten, you and Little Lena..." Uncle Sterling said He waved his hand and said softly:

   "This boss looks very conscientious!" Glancing at Uncle Sterling, Connor groaned for a while and said softly, "It's okay! Go on, I'm a formal knight!"

   "It turns out that you are a knight master! No problem, I will serve the food!" Uncle Sterling exclaimed, involuntarily using honorifics to Connor, who is as old as his son.
