Ella was in a good mood after getting permission to leave the palace, which can be seen from the never-fading smile on her face.

At this time, some soldiers brought Lucis's pet, which was the big lion Ella had seen.

Seeing this fluffy and huge lion, Ella was stunned for a moment before asking doubtfully, "Will Mr. Lion also participate in this banquet?"

Mr. Lion, what a special title.

Lucis went over her address in his mind, and replied: "It's called Semet, not only this time, it will attend every royal banquet."

Aila always thought that the lion at the last banquet was to frighten the Kata mission.This is a royal tradition in Sathya.

The goddess of war in Sathya is a female image with a lion head, and this goddess is also the protector and guide of the king. Therefore, the king of Sathya will domesticate lions as pets and always accompany him.Will bring a lion or two.

Semet is a strong adult lion. It is the king of the lions in the royal captivity. It is tall and fierce, but also very intelligent, which is why Lucis likes to carry it.

"I'm curious, are you not afraid of it at all?"

"Of course not, Mr. Semet is very handsome and not scary at all." Ella has always liked animals, and she liked them even more after she could understand the language of animals, and because of the blessing of the fairy, animals will not take the initiativeHurt her, when she lived in the fairy forest, she often encountered large beasts, including lions - don't ask her why there are lions in the forest, it is a fairy tale world - and Semet was raised by humans, it is well-raised but not as ferocious as a wild lion. The soft hair is too beautiful. I don't know if it feels as good as she saw.

Seeing that she really liked the lion, Lucis raised his eyebrows: "Then would you like to sit next to it at the banquet tonight?"

When Ella heard this, she naturally nodded happily: "Of course, I am very willing."

I wonder if she will discuss it with Mr. Lion, and it will be willing to let her rua.

Time always flies when you are in a good mood.

When the flood season comes, the sun always goes down very late, and it is still very hot outside when it is usually dinner time. In places without vegetation, the heat of the sand can even cook eggs.This is a torment, so many people, especially women, need to go to the lounge to take care of their appearance after arriving at the palace, and they need to go out earlier.

And the nobles who arrived today found a huge surprise in the lounge and banquet hall.

Although Ayla told the people around her how to make ice, Lucis gave an order not to spread the word to others, and then appointed a steward to make ice for the royal use.

Today, a lot of ice is used in the palace, and ice basins are placed in the rooms where the guests will go, so that everyone who comes in can feel cool immediately.

Not only that, but the drinks and fruits that were put out early in the morning were also chilled.

Many Sathya people have never seen ice in their life, or even heard of it. Now they suddenly feel the coolness of ice, and everyone is very surprised. After asking the messengers of the palace, they even touch the ice with their own hands.

Well-informed people have already known that foreign princesses made ice in the palace before, and even thought of it when they saw the ice basin next to the throne in the temple in the morning, but they were far away at that time, and they could not feel it.I felt the coolness of the ice, and now really saw its cooling effect.

They could easily imagine how much benefit these ices could bring. When they learned that the ice-making method was brought by the foreign princess, their first reaction was to find a way to make it, but then they remembered that this method had already been used.In the hands of the king, this idea can only be regrettably abandoned.

"I thought this princess had nothing but beauty, but I didn't expect her to have such value."

"I don't know if she has other magical formulas."

Undoubtedly, the biggest topic tonight is that beautiful foreign princess.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't that princess appeared yet? Even the princesses in the harem have arrived."

Time passed, and the guests had already sat in the multi-pillared hall. The princesses in the harem were supposed to sit with the king, but because Lucis always ignored the harem, they were all seated under the king's steps., extending from both sides of the king's steps, vertically opposite to the positions of nobles and officials, forming a layout similar to "冂".

Hearing this, the observant nobleman smiled ambiguously and said, "Look at the top of the king's steps."

"What happened up there?"

The noble who raised the question and the other people who heard this all turned their heads to look at the throne directly above, but they didn't see anything special. Isn't it just a low couch where you can sit or lie down?There is no difference in peacetime.

"Why is there no difference? Didn't you find that there are a little more cushions on it?"

Sathiya people usually sit on chairs, but when holding banquets, everyone prefers to sit on soft cushions on thick maps, and His Majesty does not need cushions when sitting on a low couch, only cushions are placed, andYes, it didn't attract the attention of others.

But now someone specifically raised it, and they realized that there were indeed a few more cushions. It was just that everyone placed the cushions in piles behind them to sit comfortably, so they didn't realize this at the beginning.

Someone quickly responded: "It seems that our Majesty is going to appear with that princess today."

Someone also lamented: "That princess is really favored."

No one thinks that it is inappropriate for the princess to sit with the king. Although the queen is usually the one who attends formal occasions with the king, it is an exception when holding a banquet. At this time, the king will not only have the queen but also his favorites.Concubine, if the king is a beautiful woman, then at the banquet, he will be surrounded by a group of beauties, and his low couch will be full.

However, when the king is not lustful, and has never even favored anyone, this kind of exclusive favor is very intriguing.

"I wouldn't be surprised if His Majesty wants to marry that princess."

More and more people noticed the difference on the Wang Jie, and everyone reacted differently, but most of the young girls who came with their parents didn't look very good-looking.

None of these unmarried girls had dreamed of the young and handsome king. They were not invited to the last banquet because there were foreign guests present, and they were not qualified to participate with His Majesty in the temple sacrifice this time, but it does not mean that they did not goBut as long as you go to the temple, even if you are far away, you can see the difference between His Majesty and that foreign princess.

At that time, many people were already heartbroken by this, and now they realize that His Majesty will attend the banquet with the princess and will sit together, it is like stabbing their wounds again.

But no matter how unwilling they are, what should come will still come.

The door of the temple was opened from the outside, and attendants stood by the door and loudly announced the arrival of their king.

Everyone left from their seats, the servants and servants with low status fell to their knees, while the nobles with high status stood and bowed their heads towards the door to salute, and then secretly looked at the gate before His Majesty approached.

It was rare for the young king to be well-dressed. Standing beside him was the foreign princess. The golden lotus crown shone brightly on her silver hair. During the movement, the cloak was raised, revealing a long black dress underneath.His skin became fairer and more delicate, which also highlighted the belt with the same pattern as His Majesty.

At first, people's eyes were only attracted by the belt of the same style, but when the princess slowly approached with His Majesty, the nobles kneeling on the side of the princess saw the special necklace through the thin cape.

Everyone who saw it was shocked, but at this time the king was approaching, so they could only lower their heads and wait until the king passed by before raising their heads to continue to observe the princess's necklace.

After confirming that they were not dazzled, everyone who saw clearly felt a burst of horror in their hearts.

All Sathiyas know that His Majesty's collar is as much a symbol of the king as his crown, and that other people can wear multi-layered necklaces but not this kind of collar, even if there are not so many layers.The only exception is the queen. As the hostess of this country, the queen can wear a collar with less than twelve circles, usually ten circles, but sometimes other circles for good looks.

Therefore, this lotus necklace can only be worn by the queen, but now it appears on the neck of an unmarried princess, and the meaning it represents is self-evident.

His Majesty really intends to marry this foreign princess.

Ella didn't know these things lurked outside her common sense, and now she was more concerned with where she sat.

When Lucis asked her if she would sit with Mr. Lion before, she agreed, thinking that the seat this time would be the same as last time.

But as soon as she got there, she knew it wasn't.

Both sides of the king's steps are occupied by more than a dozen princesses, not to mention the space left for Mr. Lion, not even her place.

When Lucis stepped up the steps, Ayla stopped hesitantly.

Noticing she wasn't following, Lucis turned back and watched her, waiting for her choice.

To walk up the ladder of power with him, or to stay where he is.

But in fact, where is there any room for her to choose, can she stand here until the banquet is over, or can she turn around and leave?

Sighing inwardly, Ella stepped up the stairs anyway.

At the same time, she also made sure in her heart that the young king must have some special purpose for today's arrangements.

·····

If Ella thinks Lucis likes her, the answer should be yes.

But this liking should be very shallow, more of a possessive desire for beautiful things, and it is a man's bad nature that is at work.

But what he's showing now, seems to have a deep-rooted affection for her, and every move is declaring how special he is to her.

Once or twice, she thought it was Lucis' possessiveness, but when it all came together, it seemed too deliberate.

So Ayla thinks Lucis must be planning something.

And now she can only cooperate, just treat it as his return gift for agreeing to her going out.

Ella followed Lucis up the steps, walked around the low table, and sat on the low couch with her eyes downcast, trying to ignore the gaze from below.

Mr. Lion was also led to her by the soldiers, and he lay down on the edge of the low couch, and Ella could lean on its back by leaning slightly to the side.

The arrival of the king meant the beginning of the banquet, and before the banquet, Lucis had to give a speech praising the gift of the harvest god.

When Lucis spoke, Ella seemed to be listening intently, but from the corner of her eye, she was looking at the guests below.

Aila basically didn't know the people below, but she heard that besides the king, the most powerful people in Sathia are the prime minister and the two generals who are in charge of military power and are responsible for guarding the north and south borders of Sathia.

The former is currently on a mission to several island countries in the sea north of Sathya, and the latter two generals in the central and southern theaters were leading soldiers to fight against Kata. However, after Kata and Sathya signed a peace treaty, the war has ended;The general in the northern theater led the soldiers to escort the prime minister to visit.

Of course, Sathya's military power is not entirely in the hands of the two generals in the theater. Lucis is a king with a strong desire for control. He has already firmly grasped the power of the army, and he single-handedly promoted the two commanders.The only confidant of the prime minister is an old minister who was already in power when the first emperor was still alive.

In addition, Lucis also has an army that belongs to the king alone. When he goes out, this army accompanies him to fight everywhere, and when he returns to the country, this army is responsible for protecting his safety.Supporting an army capable of conquering and fighting is also one of his confidence in governing the country.

In the absence of the highest official in office, the position closest to the throne on the left at the banquet was occupied by the high priest and a high priest of the temple.

This is also a characteristic of the upper class in Sathia. The priests of the temple will also hold other positions. After leaving the temple, the low-level priests are ordinary people.You need to swear that you will never marry for life—of course, you don’t know if you have a lover or illegitimate child in private—and the middle and high-level priests are mostly nobles, so they can also hold a certain position in the government and army, but this needs to be appointed by the king.

Among the four priests currently sitting at the front, the high priest did not hold other official positions because of his advanced age and the manager of the temple. The remaining priests all held official positions, and among them they always liked to stare atWith Ella, Meljet also served as the court director of the harem, and the remaining two high priests held a trade-related position in Boiman, and the other worked under the Minister of Finance and was responsible for taxation.

And sitting at the top of the right is the Minister of Finance.

As for the other ministers and priests sitting at the back, Ella really didn't know each other.

It is worth mentioning that today's banquet is allowed to bring family members, so behind many nobles are unmarried children of the right age in their families, each of whom has been well-dressed. Obviously, this banquet has another meaning besides celebrating the harvest——Everyone regarded it as a blind date banquet.

However, Ella felt that there should be quite a few people who came here for Lucis, because since she sat here, she could always feel some jealous eyes.

At the end of Lucis's speech, everyone raised their glasses with him. This glass of wine is dedicated to the gods, so it needs to be drunk completely. The chilled wine is very thirst-quenching. The current brewing method makes the taste of the wine more biased towards theGrape juice is also very low in alcohol content, Ella didn't even blush after drinking a glass of it.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the food.

The first thing to be served is the roasted whole lamb, which is roasted from lambs that are less than one year old. The meat is tender and has no smell. There is a dagger beside the roasted whole lamb, and guests can eat it by themselves.Cut, this is the meat dish most commonly eaten by the nobles of Sathya, and it is indispensable in all celebration banquets.

And the dishes that were served afterwards were not familiar to the guests.

As the head chef, Najiddo did not directly give up the local cuisine of Sathya. In fact, the dishes in the banquet are still Sathya dishes, but in terms of cooking techniques, Najiddo borrowed what he learned from Ella.Modern cooking methods have given him new twists on his specialty Sathya dishes.

The taste is still the taste that Sathiya people like, but the fresh taste experience brought about by the change of cooking method is enough to make everyone amazed by these delicacies.

The maids who serve the guests have received urgent training. After learning how to use chopsticks, they are responsible for serving food to the guests with chopsticks. Of course, the guests are also provided with knives, forks and spoons during the banquet, so that they can eat something that is not suitable for use.hand food.

For example, today's staple food is not bread, but fried noodles with black pepper beef and onions. This is also the most novel food for everyone. This is the first time they have seen noodles. After tasting it, they were immediately conquered by the taste of this new food..

Ella also likes this staple dish, although she thinks that the lack of bread in the kitchen is probably because they have used the oven for baking bread to bake cakes, so there is no way to bake enough bread for the banquet.

But her favorite is the fruit smoothie served in place of the fruit plate.

Freeze the freshly squeezed fruit juice into ice and then grind it, spread the fruit cut into small pieces on top, and then sprinkle it with honey, stir it before eating, it will be cool and the heat will disappear in one bite, it is more suitable for this kind of weatherup.

But it's a pity that there is no yogurt, otherwise the taste of the fruit smoothie can be improved.

The dances and dances carefully prepared by the musicians and dancers are no longer appreciated. Everyone is immersed in eating the food on the low table. Because there are many dishes, the portion of each dish is very small. Everyone is trying to restrain themselves from eating.It's not because they are in front of His Majesty, they wish they could clear up a portion when the waiter brings it up.

Being able to become the head chef of the picky eater Lucis, he worked for a year without being dismissed by him. Naguido’s craftsmanship is really very good, and the kitchen team he leads is also not bad. The improved food is even in theElla, who is used to eating all kinds of food, seems to be very delicious.

She turned her head and looked at Lucis. After getting rid of the influence of the scorching heat, the young king finally showed his strong appetite.Feel full at a glance.

Then look at the food in front of her—although they were sitting together, they each had a separate low table, and the plates on the low table next to her were almost empty, making it look like her table hadn't touched the chopsticks yet.

Naturally, Lucis didn't miss paying attention to her. Seeing her looking over, he asked, "Why don't you eat? Doesn't suit your appetite?"

Ella shook her head: "I'm almost full."

Lucis thought of her bird-like stomach, nodded knowingly, and continued to eat with his head bowed.

Ella looked back to watch the performance below, but after a while, a big furry head stretched out.

"Human, your food smells delicious."

Ella turned her head, and Mr. Lion had already turned and put down at some point, with two paws clinging to the edge of the low couch, a pair of golden pupils staring at the food on her table and unable to move her eyes, the huge mouth opened slightly, with a downside down.The thorny tongue brushes the sharp fangs from time to time, looking greedy.

There are a lot of fried foods in the dishes on the table, mainly chicken and chicken parts. These foods smell better than they taste. Even humans who have never eaten fried foods are hard to resist, and the lion's sense of smellIt's even more powerful, even if you have been fed before coming here, you can't help but want to eat again when you smell the aroma.

Ella immediately turned her head to look at Lucis, and as expected, the latter's face was darkened, as if he wanted to drag this stupid lion out and chop it up.

Ella, who had already guessed that this might happen, took the opportunity to touch Mr. Lion's mane. It felt rougher than it looked, but it was still good to masturbate.

"Your Majesty, can I feed Semet? Please rest assured, the food on my table is relatively bland, so you can feed it."

Ella's taste is different from that of the Sathiya people. She prefers a light diet, and Najdo also likes her very much. The food prepared for her is in line with her taste, and the seasoning, especially the salt content, is deliberately reduced..

Although it is not completely tasteless, people who keep pets now eat leftovers directly for their pets. Although Mr. Lion usually eats live animal meat, he will occasionally eat some leftovers from banquets due to gluttony.La thought it was better than the leftovers on her table.

Lucis agreed with a dark face, lest the lion really drool all over the place and lose his face.

Ella picked up the meat and vegetables on the table and fed them to Semet, her gaze drifted down from time to time.

While watching the performance, she was actually waiting for the big cake that the maids said.

Although she has a small appetite and a light taste, she loves to eat cakes like many modern girls, and Aunt Shahato has learned the skill of making bread for many years. She is looking forward to her masterpiece, so she stillI deliberately left my stomach waiting.

In Ella's eager anticipation, the finale cake was finally delivered.

It was a ten-tier oversized cake supported by a cake stand. The diameter of the bottom layer was more than two meters. The height of the whole cake was almost as high as a modern one-story building. The surface of each layer of the cake was covered with jam.It is covered with fruits, and it attracts everyone's attention as soon as it appears.

Such a huge cake was carefully carried in by eight strong slaves and placed in the center of the banquet hall where the performance had ended.

The cake has no fragrance, and the nobles talked about it, guessing what it was.

Ella stared at the top layer of the cake, which seemed to have been shaped like fruit and vegetables with tinted cream, but it was too high to see.

The baker Shahato came in right after the slaves. The chubby aunt held a knife in her hand, and she was accompanied by slaves carrying ladders and plates. Obviously, Shahato planned to come in person for this kind of publicity.

Ella found it interesting, so she smiled at Lucis and said, "Does Your Majesty want to see it in person?"

Lucis glanced at her and told Shahato to do it.

The chubby but nimble baker climbed up the ladder, carefully took off the top cake, and sent it directly to the throne without cutting it.

This layer of cake is about eight inches, which is enough for five people to eat, but the king naturally does not need to share it with anyone, he can monopolize the entire layer.

Under everyone's gaze, Lucis cut the poisoned cake into several pieces, and the first piece was delivered to Ella.

The young Wang whispered in her ear, "As you wish."

Really change the concept.

Ella gave Lucis a secret look in her heart, picked up a fork and forked a small piece of cake into her mouth, the cream cake mixed with jam was sweet and sour, but the honey in the cake embryo seemed to be added a little too much instead of sugar.

Ella, who was eating the cake, thought that there would be some twists and turns in the banquet tonight. At least the well-dressed girls looked like they had come prepared. Tetis reminded her that the girls in Sathya canThey are good at singing and dancing. In this kind of banquet occasions, people often take the initiative to perform. This is mainly to show themselves in front of the public and seek a good marriage for themselves.

Of course, to perform in front of the king naturally requires great self-confidence, and most of the first targets of girls who dare to show up are also the young king.

Tetis told Ella this purposely, mainly to let her have a psychological preparation, and this preparation was mainly worried that someone would suggest that she perform her talents in public.

It was a great honor for them to be able to perform before the king, so if it was brought up and Ayla refused, it would probably come out that she was pompous and worthless except for her looks.

So Tetis advised her to agree to it when encountering such a situation.

Ella was ready for someone to find trouble, but at the banquet, not only did no one trouble her, no one even stood up to express themselves.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't.

The food at today’s banquet was too novel and delicious, and the girls ate a little too much without knowing it, especially when the fruit cream cake was served in front of them, no Sathiya who loves sweets could resist this delicacy.

So when the girls who had already eaten a lot came back to their senses, their stomachs were already bulging from the cake.

In this state, they are asked to perform their talents. The girls who are good at singing are worried that they will not perform well, and the girls who are good at dancing are worried about what to do if they throw up halfway through the dance, so no one dares to leave.

And no one started, and it seemed very inappropriate to let the princess perform suddenly.

So tonight's banquet went smoothly from beginning to end, without any trouble.

Until Ella was sent back to the dormitory to rest by Lucis herself, she was still a little unbelievable.

In the end, have to admit that the power of food is indeed huge.

·····

Because the party was held late the night before, Ella rarely got up late the next day, and by the time she got up, the sun had already risen.

This made her a little annoyed. She originally planned to go out of the palace early this morning. Although the sun outside is not very strong now, it has already started to heat up. At this time, she will have to face the hottest day when she goes out and waits until the market.At this time, there are very few pedestrians walking outside, so the merchants are basically taking a lunch break, and Ella can't see much even if she goes out.

Tetis, who knew the outside situation very well, said, "If your Highness wants to visit the market, it's best to choose it in the early morning. At that time, the weather is not so hot, and the merchandise of the merchants is also the most complete."

So Ella had to change her plan and planned to leave the palace tomorrow.

Of course, she still remembered to report the change of schedule to Lucis, so she asked the maid to come and inform him.

Tetis has always been in charge of things related to Lucis, so she is also responsible for the report. When Tetis came back, she brought a young man dressed as a guard with her.

Tetis introduced: "Your Highness, this is Captain Norris sent by His Majesty. Your Majesty said that Captain Norris and his guard team will protect you when you go out from now on."

"I have seen His Highness."

The young captain of the guard is slightly taller than Ella, with strong muscles. He is already tall and burly in Shadia. He has short brown hair, and his regular but fierce facial features are similar to those of ordinary people.The Sathyas are slightly different, obviously of exotic origin.

It is worth noting that there are many scars left by weapons on the exposed hands and feet of the captain of the guard. Some of the scars are long and deep.

Eyes swept over those scars, Ella's face remained unchanged, and she asked gently: "Captain Norris, does Your Majesty mean that I will be guarded by you when I leave the palace, or that I will also be guarded by you in the palace?"

She didn't forget that Lucis had warned her not to run around in the palace recently.

Norris lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness, just call me Norris. Your Majesty said that as long as you leave the room, we will follow you."

"Then I'll leave it to you from now on, Norris."

"My pleasure."

The next morning, Ella woke up early on purpose. When she woke up, it was still dark outside.

Tetis helped her prepare a set of clothes suitable for going out, a loose long-sleeved straight skirt with an ankle-length skirt, paired with a sand-proof veil, which not only covered her face, but also did not reveal much of her skin.

But Tetis is still not satisfied. Although most of the skin is covered, Ella's hands and feet are still exposed. The excessively fair skin makes it easy for people to notice her difference, and this level of fairness only needs toPeople who have heard the rumors can easily match her with the silver-haired foreign princess.

But Ella said that unless her eyes are also covered, those who should recognize them will still recognize them. After all, purple eyes are really rare, and there is only one pair in Sathya.

Finally, Tetis brought her a linen cloak with a hood. The light and wide cloak could cover her from head to toe without revealing the soles of her shoes, but the hood could not completely cover her face.and hair, so the covering veil should or should be worn.

Two little maids helped her put on the veil so that not a single strand of hair was exposed, and the part that covered her face was firmly fixed, unless she untied it herself, there was absolutely no chance of it falling off accidentally.

Once you are fully dressed, you can go out.

Tetis handed Debbie a large bag containing food and water bladders and a small bag containing gold, silver and copper.

At present, countries on the African continent do not issue currency. At this time, people prefer to barter, and they have their own trading system.

But Feiluo didn't, and the Miou continent was already using currency.

Merchants from the Mio continent will carry a large amount of silver coins with them - Sathya is rich in gold, but silver is scarce, so silver coins are more valuable here. In the earliest days, the exchange ratio of gold and silver could reach 1:2 -After they sell the goods and buy new goods, they will exchange the remaining proceeds together with silver coins into gold and bring them back to their country.

Of course, the Feiluo people are not fools. After realizing that these merchants from other continents are more concerned about gold, and more and more silver coins are imported, all countries have re-adjusted the exchange rate. The current exchange rate of gold and silver has become 1.:5.

But for Miou merchants, this is still a big profit, so a large amount of silver is still transported from Miou to Philos, and the main import is Sathya.

However, there are still no coins in Sathya so far. They melted the silver imported from abroad or the copper and gold tributed by the surrounding small countries into the weight and size that Sathiya people are more accustomed to, and used them for trading, creating a kind of coin between the past and the present.A mode of exchange between barter and currency exchange.

Most of the coins in the bag Tetis prepared were gold and silver, which can be said to be a huge sum of money. Debbie had never taken so much money before, so she hesitated to take it.

"Do you want His Highness to take the purse by himself?" Tetis frowned. Although she also wanted to go out with Ella, she had other things to do, and Ella thought that since she brought the guards, she would notI needed to bring so many maids, so I finally decided to let Debbie, a strong maid who could help her translate, go with me.

Debbie took the purse nervously, stuttering: "I, I'm worried I lost it."

Seeing that she was so nervous, Ella didn't know where to put the money bag. After thinking about it, she asked Tetis to take another empty bag. She took a small part from the money bag and put it into the empty bag.Give two more bags to Debbie: "You take the one that is less, and leave the rest to Norris to save later."

After hearing what she said, Tetis also felt that it was safer, but she still gave Debbie a reproachful look, and secretly decided to train her more severely in the future.

When he went out, Norris was already waiting outside with someone.

Because he didn't want to attract too much attention, there were only one guard including Norris who went out with Ella today.

After Tetis handed over the purse to Norris, she sent Ella to the main entrance of the palace before stopping to watch them leave by boat.

Sathya's waterways extend in all directions, and their main means of transportation is boats, so lively places like markets are basically built by the waterways.

All the guards were familiar with the waterways here. The papyrus boats shuttled through several waterways, and the number of small boats on the water gradually increased, and they all headed in the same direction.

Ella noticed that many of those papyrus ships were carrying goods, mostly agricultural and sideline products, all kinds of everything.

If someone wanted something, he just yelled at the boat, and the owner would row the boat closer to him, talk business, and move on.

As a result, the closer you got to the market, the more crowded the water surface was, and the boat that Ella was on could no longer go forward.

Norris said to Ella: "Miss, this is very close to the market, why don't we go ashore first?"

They were very cautious, and they automatically changed their mouths to call Ella Miss when they left the palace gate.

Ella glanced at the waterway that was really blocked, and nodded in agreement with his arrangement.

The guards have been driving sideways, so they were not affected much when they docked.

Probably many people have encountered the same troubles as them, so the embankment here has been built into a slope, and there is a ladder extending from the water to the embankment at intervals, so that people can park their boats smoothly no matter where they park.ashore.

Another advantage for civilians is that if your boat does not stop at the dock, you don’t have to pay the parking fee, but the disadvantage is also obvious. If no one is watching the boat, it may be stolen at any time, so the riverThere are more watchmen on the side, as long as they are paid a little, they will help watch the ship.

But even if they asked for a small reward, many commoners were reluctant to give it up, so most commoners who came to the market and needed a boat would choose to go together, and then leave one person to watch the boat.

And although the papyrus boat that Ella was on was the kind used by very ordinary civilians, their dress was not ordinary at all, so as soon as the boat docked, someone came over to ask if they needed service.

"On a small piece of bread, we can guard your ship for a day."

The young man who spoke made a flattering gesture, about half the size of a normal loaf.

Ella looked to Debbie, who took a loaf of bread from the bag she had brought and paid for the size he said.

The young man who received the reward smiled even more enthusiastically. The reward he said was actually black bread, but what Debbie gave him was white bread with no wheat bran at all and a rich milk flavor. He could take half of the breadWent to change some black bread.

The young man handed them a wooden sign engraved with Sathya characters, which is the certificate for returning to claim the ship.

The wooden sign was put away by Norris, and the bag of food that Debbie was holding was taken over by another guard.

The place where they landed was indeed very close to the market, just walk a few hundred meters along the embankment.
