   Chapter 478 Amber Fruit Juice (23)

  Emperor Capital, Midtown, fifth floor.

  The floor area where the Headquarters of the Patrolling Knights is located always looks quieter and quieter than other lively floor areas and the wide and noisy downtown area.

The streets are almost spotless. The tall landscape trees sway slightly with the wind, and the tip of the big clock tower in the center of the patrol knight headquarters not far away can be clearly seen no matter where it is located. When it rings, it means four o'clock in the afternoon. When the bell rings, the originally quiet layer area has the feeling of time passing.

  Pedestrians are wearing decent formal attire, and they walk slowly, as if they know that they are already very safe, and there is no need for urgency or worry.

Ian walked the streets here, he could see the huge steel pillar in the center of the layer area, and he could also see the white layer wall on the outer edge of the layer area—the boy noticed that there was a layer of translucent crystals on the surface of the layer wall here, If not expected, it should be some kind of projection equipment, a simulated light curtain that can simulate the sky, sea and other exterior scenes.

   I just don’t know if it’s invalid, or the empire doesn’t think it’s necessary to turn it on all the time. Now the simulated light curtain has not been activated.

  Ian had just contacted Isengard with the internal communication device of the Patrol Knights, telling himself that he had arrived at the fifth floor of the imperial capital. The tone of the other party was very happy, and he said that he would come to the fifth floor area soon.

"That's not necessary, this place is not suitable. You make an appointment to meet, and I just have a look at the situation in the imperial capital." Ian smiled and said: "The seventh floor park area? Okay, then I will go there later, Don't worry too."

  Leaving the headquarters, following the breath of the goblins all the way, Ian came to a street full of food aromas. There are many shops here, with shining signboards hanging high, and bright curtains hanging from both sides.

  Walking here, Ian even felt a kind of familiar comfort.

  Before he was reincarnated, he spent most of his study and work time in space, except that he spent his childhood on the earth. He has long been used to the internal circulation systems of many satellite eco-cities and space cities.

   Rather, it is precisely because he spends most of his time living in an 'ecological city enclosed in an infinite universe' that he has an extremely strong yearning for the universe and starry sky.

  He is in the boundless sea of ​​stars, but he can only live in a small city behind a transparent barrier. It is this contrast that creates his character.

   And planets...planets are too narrow for civilization, but too vast for individual human beings.

   Just to explore the land under one's feet, just to have a home of one's own on the land, it takes a lifetime.

   Gravity embraces people's souls.

  Shaking his head slightly, Ian shook off this sense of familiarity. He now knows why he feels a sense of intimacy, because the inner layer of the imperial capital also uses a built-in ecological circulation system to ensure fresh air and healthy vegetation.

   "If the surrounding buildings were more advanced, I probably thought it was some retro tourist space city."

   With such an evaluation, Ian walked into the food street.

   Most of the people who can live in the central city of the imperial capital have stable jobs and decent salaries. Naturally, their desire for food cannot be satisfied by just "eating enough".

At a glance, Ian saw a specialty pancake shop in the Rosa area, a creamy seafood gratin shop in the Xuanhai area, and a rotary barbecue restaurant in the Hot Sand area... Each shop has many customers. Residents can fully afford the prices of these stores, as well as the consumption of frequent meals in the stores.

   Of course, in addition to these restaurants, there are also beverage shops and pubs that provide a variety of drinks.

The business of a tavern is so good that an extra long table is set up at the entrance, and many people, all kinds of people, including elves and dwarves, drink here, and the barrels are placed in the tavern The outer wall, layer upon layer, almost covered its windows.

  The atmosphere here is much more lively. All kinds of bragging and discussions can be heard. Ian listened intently and found that it was not all kinds of political and war topics, or discussing his own children, or complaining about his boss... In short, he was very familiar.

   "After the Fifth Legion's new armor equipment is complete, the Yuanyan Fortress Group is just a back garden for casual access!"

"Have you heard? The defense line of the dwarves' heavy army was breached, but it's just a trap!" "Yes, I know, my uncle is doing business with the Royal Court of Heaven. He told me that the Wind Chaser Land Fleet Almost completely wiped out by the dwarves' new weapons... just don't know what the new weapons are."

   "The salary of a tutor is increasing every year. He is a ****. I don't earn as much as these people!" "It's good if you can find it. If I want to find a reliable one, I have to rely on my relationship... I really envy those big nobles."

"Damn it, I really don't understand what a leader who is always parachuting in and pretending to understand does not know what to do, just picking peaches, they are going to mess up the whole project!" "Maybe the purpose is Well, internal struggle or something... Anyway, you can get a salary, don't think about it, let's have another drink."

  It seems that even in a different world, the worries and hobbies of human beings are still the same.

   (here, Ian!)

  Ian heard the call from the psychic communication. It was Hua An's voice. He looked sideways and found two goblin ladies in a cafe.

  Walking into the cafe, the waitress who served him immediately understood and led Ian to the table where Hua An and Shuang Die were.

   "Is it solved?" Hua An was enjoying the aroma of coffee, and steam was slowly rising from her head—her so-called drinking coffee was essentially enjoying the aroma of coffee, and all the coffee was evaporated while drinking.

   On the other side, Ian turned his head and found that the ice wings on the back of Frost Butterfly were stained with coffee brown.

   "The solution is solved, the login has been completed, but the staining... I guess it will take a few hours for it to gradually fade away?"

  Ian stretched out his hand and touched Frost Butterfly's wings. The little goblin shook her head, obviously not noticing that she was about to become a soil goblin.

   "Don't worry, and don't you think it smells delicious?" Hua An didn't care about it: "I have a friend who is a fire elf who likes to eat barbecue. The smell on his body makes even the dragon say it's delicious!"

   "It smells delicious."

  Ian took a closer look and smelled it, and found that Shuangdie really had the aroma of iced coffee.

  As for Hua An's description, he imagined it for a while, and couldn't help but feel that the world is so big and full of wonders: "Will there be alcohol fairies?"

"It's too much—Zizi." Drinking coffee, Hua An said quite comfortably: "There are many goblins in Fallen Star City who like to drink, and sing and chant poems after drinking, or fly around—they Not getting drunk at all, just pretending to be drunk and having fun."

   "However, I also have a friend in the imperial capital. She also likes to drink very much. She just enjoys the aroma of the wine and never plays crazy."

   "I see...I see."

  Ian nodded slightly. He noticed that Hua An also nodded sideways, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I think."

  Miss Fairy said thoughtfully: "I probably figured out where Shuangdie's oral habit came from."

  Ian and Shuangdie blinked together.

  Before leaving, Ian ordered a glass of 'Amber Fruit Juice' which he had never heard of before. This is a peculiar fruit that originated in the remote islands, to be precise, it is the fruit of a vine.

The amber vine will only grow on the tallest trees, it will absorb the essence of the trees, and then bear fruit like solidified amber, this kind of fruit is very popular with a kind of local flying dragon, and the excrement of this flying dragon is the most Good tree fertilizer - the tripartite is such a symbiotic relationship.

  As the name suggests, the amber fruit juice pours out of the silver pot held by the maid, filling the cup and turning the transparent glass into a slightly shaking amber gold cup.

  The translucent fruit juice is between light gold and coffee, exuding a charming mellow taste, just like liquid gold. If I have to describe it, it is probably a mixture of honey and coffee? No wonder this cafe sells this juice.

  Ian took a sip, and felt a very strange sweet taste, refreshing and pure, which made people feel relaxed and refreshed, and his mouth and throat felt cool.

   "It feels like it can be chilled. It will feel better if you drink it chilled."

  Ian commented this way, but he also knew that after chilling, the refreshing taste of amber fruit would be weakened, and it would go towards the icy tingling sensation similar to mint.

   But he personally prefers this kind of strong stimulation, which is why he likes to eat chili.
