Chapter 5 Inventory of belongings
And Ella stayed in the room, not because she really compromised.
These people restrict Ella's freedom, but they can't prevent some little ones from entering her room.
Whether it's the rats on the boat or the waterfowl on the river, they are all targets that Ella can seek information from.
But it is a pity that these small animals are not as intelligent as their counterparts in the fairy tale world. Although they can communicate with Ella and understand her words, they do not understand other human languages, so Ella can only learn from their mouths.Heard some scattered information.
The most useful one is that the room she lived in originally belonged to a human female, and then one day the human disappeared, and the person living here became her.
Unable to follow the path of learning languages with small animals, Ella had to temporarily give up the idea of learning.
She began to take stock of her possessions.
Since the fairy godmother gave her this magical ring that can store, Ella has been very used to using it as a refrigerator and warehouse. As long as it needs to be kept fresh, she will put it in it. Even so, the space in the ring is too smallOnly used less than half of it.
Of course, it’s not that Ella’s possessions are too small, but that the space in the ring is too large, which is the size of an indoor football field. A magic ring with such a large space is an extremely precious treasure even in a fairy tale world.Know where her godmother got it from.
As a princess, Ella lives in the forest like a peasant girl, but in fact, she is very rich.
Although Ella seems to be living a very common life after moving out of the palace, in fact her king's father can't really ignore her. The king who actually loves his daughter will send soldiers to live inIn the Fairy Forest, she sends money and things.
The money is pocket money of at least 100 gold coins per month, and it will be doubled during festivals. Besides the most popular clothes and jewelry, the gifts also include food and various daily necessities.
It is worth mentioning that these things were prepared by her queen stepmother. In order to show her kindness to the king and subjects, the queen prepared good things for Ella. No wonder no one has discovered her little thoughts so far., the whole kingdom is telling her kindness to the princess.
At the beginning, Ella was worried that the queen would tamper with the things she sent, so she didn't dare to use them. It was only after the fairies helped to check and make sure they were safe that Ella's doubts were dispelled.
There are too many things sent from the palace, and Ella's life is very simple. Except for the money spent on researching potions, most of the things are piled up in the magic ring, and year after year, more and more.
Fortunately, the time in the ring is forbidden, otherwise some things that are not easy to preserve may have been rotten.
Of course, the food in the ring is not only sent by the palace, but also purchased by Ella herself from the villages around the Fairy Forest. After all, the types of food sent by the palace are relatively simple. If she wants to eat something else, she will go to the villageAs for the daily needs of fruits and vegetables, she opened a small vegetable field next to the hut and planted some vegetables and fruit trees for self-sufficiency. She also planted many commonly used herbs beside the vegetable field.She was about to return to the palace, so she had picked all the ripe fruits, vegetables and herbs in the vegetable field in advance, and specially asked the fairies to help accelerate the growth of the plants, saving many seeds.
At the same time, there are many items related to magic in the ring, including the magic props given to her by the fairies, the magic books she used to learn magic and potions, spare potion containers, a large number of potion materials and seeds, and theThe preserved potions and other finished products are the capital for her to survive in this strange world.
In addition, there is a lot of debris in the ring that Ayla can't remember when she put it in.
Many people want to buy something that looks interesting and useful when they are shopping, but after buying it, they find that they don’t really need something that can only be left idle.
As for Ella, she also has such a small problem, and she also likes to plan ahead, regardless of whether she will use it or not, she likes to buy a full set of things when shopping, anyway, she is not short of money.
Ella silently put together the farm tools she had ordered from a carpenter. God knows that she only planted a small vegetable field. Why did she order a complete set of farming tools including plows, and even various crop seeds?There is a big bag left.
When Ella focused on counting the property, time passed unknowingly, and suddenly one day, the ship docked.
Sathia is the country with the largest land area on the Feiluo continent, but more than 90% of its land is desert.The fertile land became the residence of the Sathyas.
It only takes about 20 days for the mission to board the ship in Kata and travel smoothly to Poiman, the capital of Sathia.
They were already in Sathya when Ella boarded the boat. According to the original itinerary, they would have to reach Boiman in about ten days.Day, arrived in Boiman in the afternoon of the sixth day, which was two days earlier than the originally agreed time.
The ship finally docked, and when Allen got off the ship and stood on the land, he felt that the ground was still shaking.
Although she didn't get seasick, it was really hard to be on the boat for so long.
When she disembarked, people from other boats also came down one after another, and Ella realized that it was not that there were no other young women in the mission, she just didn't see them.
They were two very luxuriously dressed young women. Their bodies were graceful and their faces were delicate and beautiful. Their skin was much fairer than other Kata people, only a little darker than wheat, and they exuded a healthy and energetic beauty.There are also several maids, and the battle is much bigger than Ella's side.
Before Ellard could take a second look, the two beauties had already been helped onto the sedan chair sent by Sathya.
The sedan chair was carried by slaves. It was different from the small house-like sedan chairs in ancient China. The sedan chair in front of it was very simple. It looked like a stretcher, but the middle of the stretcher was made of cloth, and the middle of this sedan chair was made of plants.The stems are woven into a bamboo mat and fixed on two logs, covered with a layer of fine linen.
Seeing these sedan chairs, the faces of the members of the mission were not very good-looking. The sedan chair is a necessary means of transportation for the nobles and rich people to travel, but different sedan chairs represent different specifications. There is no extra decoration and no sedan chair in front of them.The top model is the lowest specification among them, and it is the type that even civilians can ride, and it is not the treatment that missions should have at all.
The officials from Sathya pretended that because they arrived earlier than the scheduled time, they had no time to prepare, so they could only temporarily wrong them to take these sedan chairs.
The Kata people dared not speak out, and had to follow the words of the Sathiya people to say that it was okay.
At the same time, they realized that this mission might not go well.
Ella didn't know what other people were thinking. With the help of the maid, she was helped to sit on one of the sedan chairs, and her overly strict attire also attracted the attention of many people, but soon Ella was surrounded by people.Surrounded by a lot of Kata soldiers, these people completely cut off the visits of other people.
Aila pretended not to know that they were guarding against her outrageous behavior, and sat on the sedan chair to observe the surroundings.
The team moved quickly, and under the support of the Sathyas, the team could be said to be unimpeded.
The pier they landed on was made of large stones, and the repairs were very spectacular. There were still many ships parked in the pier. These ships were large and small, and they all hung eagle flags embroidered with spreading wings. Most of these shipsIt looks like a warship, but there are also a few colorful cruise ships, but there are no merchant ships, and the whole pier is very quiet. There is no one else except the team that came to greet them. Ella guesses that this should be an official pier.
Leaving the pier, there was another lively scene outside.
Ella's sedan chair walked through the busy street. The buildings here are all square. The main material of the house is mud brick with the same color as the land. The whole street is desolate and vicissitudes of life at first glance..
But different from the buildings, there are a lot of people here. Both sides of the street are covered with thatched sheds. Under the sheds are businessmen who are trying to sell their goods loudly.Very consciously stayed away from the team of the mission.
Sathyas are very different from Kathas in appearance. Their skin color is lighter, mostly dark brown, but their facial features are darker, giving them a mixed-race feeling, but Sathyas don’t like it.Beards, and men will shave their hair very short, either bald or cropped, and they wear bolder clothes. Most commoner men are bare-chested and only wrap a loincloth around their waists to cover the important parts.On the feet are sandals made of straw that resemble flip flops.
Women wear simple straight long skirts, tied around the waist with a rope or a belt, and wrap the head and neck with a large turban on the head, or directly wear a cloak outside. At first glance, it looks similar to Ella's dress.It feels like, but in fact, these Sathya women are not there to cover their faces. The headscarves and cloaks are just to protect against wind, sand and scorching sun.Few men also use headscarves, but their headscarves are very short and shaped like a sphinx, with only two corners of one side folded from the forehead to the back of the head and tied behind the head, leaving the rest of the head covered by it.When the wind blows, the scarf that reaches the length of the back of the neck flutters, not only preventing sand but also keeping the head cool.
Of course, this way of wearing a headscarf is not exclusive to men. Women will also wear it in this way, but more women will choose the tighter long headscarves in the front. After all, they have to protect their skin from the scorching sun.
And those Sathyas who came to pick them up, except for the soldiers who were bare-chested, other high-status Sathyas, both men and women, wore robes with a lot of folds, the shoes on their feet were mostly made of leather, and their headscarves were even more serious.Gorgeous, mostly striped or patterned, and people with higher status have more ornaments on their bodies.
Shadia's clothing style is very similar to the ancient Egypt known to Ella, but Ella observed that people here do not wear wigs, nor do they wear green eye makeup on their faces.Everything is clean.
The most different thing is that it is called "Sathya".
Ella also noticed that among these people there were many foreign caravans. The people in these caravans were very different from the Sathiya people in appearance, and they should be the people from the Miou continent mentioned by the ambassador.
Passing through the lively streets and through a wide palm grove, the buildings along the way have changed from patches of loess houses to stone buildings surrounded by walls. These buildings occupy a large area and are built along the river bank, it looks like the residence of the rich.
From a distance, Ella saw the magnificent and magnificent tall palace built on the steps at the end of the road.
But their destination was not there. Not long after entering this rich area, they stopped in front of one of the stone buildings, which was a place where Sathya specially entertained foreign guests.
