You shouldn't influence him by pouring your own ideas and cognition on him before he has formed a basic concept and view of the world.
Because Porter cannot be sure that he is on the side of truth, the future of mankind, or the continent, needs constant exploration and testing.
A different path is a good thing.
Avril's eyes fell on his back: "A steadfast companion, teacher, isn't that too idealistic?"
The heart is hidden under the chest, and even if you cut it open and look directly at it, it may not be clear.
Potter shook his head and didn't explain further.
The three of them moved through the crowds of small town residents and arrived at 18 Hatton Street.
Just as she was about to enter the house, Avril suddenly said, "Teacher, I want to walk around. I've been in the palace for too long."
"Yeah." Potter didn't worry about her safety and pushed the door open. "Just stay in town. The activity of Warcraft has become much higher recently."
"Okay, teacher."
After responding out loud, Avril led Maura out to the street.
……
Zhang Mu was strolling around the town, browsing the little gadgets in his inventory.
They were all kinds of stuff, ranging from small items like nail clippers and ear picks to large items like pistol drills and chain saws.
In the other world, these are definitely fresh enough, but their specific value still depends on the market.
From this perspective, a store with only a single product line is not very suitable; a grocery store is the most suitable.
Zhang Mu turned around and rushed to the only grocery store in the town.
It takes about five minutes to get there, just around the corner.
As soon as he walked over, Zhang Mu was stunned.
At the door of the grocery store, stood a woman who seemed to be shrouded in ice-blue.
Long ice-blue hair, eyebrows, and a robe of the same color.
Magician?
Zhang Mu was quite confused.
From what I learned from Potter, magicians and other extraordinary professionals basically gather in big cities where they are more well-informed.
Why do magicians keep coming to this remote town?
Also.
He glanced at the residents passing by on the cobblestone street. Were magicians common? Or had they never seen one?
No one was watching, not even a glance at him, not to mention...
His eyes fell on the woman's profile.
Her otherworldly beauty can be seen from her side profile. Are all the residents of this small town ascetics who live in seclusion?
Zhang Mu pondered the formation but to no avail, so he shook his head and walked over there. He wanted to go into the grocery store to see what was selling well.
"Your Highness, there's nothing in the store... Stop!"
Startled by the loud shout, Zhang Mu was awakened from his thoughts on what to take out first.
She looked up subconsciously and saw a maid wearing a black and white maid uniform with a tight waist suddenly appear in front of the woman. She had her hands open and a threatening and warning look on her face.
After looking around for a while, Zhang Mu raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Are you talking to me?"
"Hmph." The maid sneered, "Man, I have seen through your intentions. Don't try to get close to Her Royal Highness by pretending to be stupid."
"Maura." The woman turned around. "That's so rude."
After that, she bowed slightly to apologize: "I'm sorry sir, Maura rarely contacts the outside world, please forgive her rudeness."
Zhang Mu glanced at her face. She was indeed beautiful, but he didn't care and looked away in an instant.
If the other person has a pair of cat ears, you might look at him one, two, three, four, five, six more times.
"It's okay." Zhang Mu replied and walked into the shop.
During the process, Mora was like an old hen protecting her chicks, with her hands wide open and her eyes staring at him threateningly until he entered the store.
"Maura." Avril said in a slightly serious tone.
"Your Highness, he must..."
"Maura." The tone was calm, but cold.
Maura lowered her head and twisted her fingers around her belly.
Avril contained the coldness emanating from her body and said, “He didn’t do anything.
Did I teach you to assume other people's intentions?"
"I'm sorry, Princess." Maura buried her head deeper, feeling a little aggrieved.
There was no other way. In the royal capital, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess left the palace, men with bad intentions would crowd around her like bears attracted by honey.
Maura never missed.
After a moment of silence, Avril slowed down her tone and said, "I will let you go in the capital because they are all familiar faces and their purpose has been exposed.
The gentleman just now was a stranger who had never known each other. It was too much to use stereotypes to judge him. "
"Maura understands."
"Let's go and transfer somewhere else."
Chapter 17 Who do you think you are facing?
Zhang Mu glanced at the merchandise in the display cabinets, and he didn't like most of them.
His goal was very clear: to find something that was cheap and available in large quantities in the other world, had high value when brought back to the real world, and was easy to sell.
Only by meeting this requirement can profits be made quickly without attracting official attention.
Otherwise, why would he make this trip? He could just sell the gold coins directly.
After walking back and forth between the display cabinets and the shelves against the wall for a long time, Zhang Mu scratched his head in distress.
There are no items that fully match your criteria.
Either they are worthless in the real world, or they are contraband that can easily attract attention and cause trouble.
"Sir, do you need any help?" After seeing off a customer, the middle-aged male owner came over to serve him.
Zhang Mu thought for a while, then took out a pure black quartz watch from his trouser pocket: "Are you buying items here?"
Bluestar's ordinary men's quartz watch, with a steel strap and dial, three hands, and hour markers, costs about a hundred yuan each, and the price can be negotiated if the quantity is large.
The extremely transparent glass cover reflected the sunlight coming in from the door, which stunned the owner who was shaking his head.
He took it with one hand, and held the other hand underneath, then carefully raised it to his eyes to look at it, as if he was looking at his lover.
"God." The shop owner stared at the rotating hands and exclaimed, "Is this crystal? How was it polished? It looks like it doesn't exist."
"And..." He looked at Zhang Mu and asked respectfully, "Sir, what are these scales used for?"
Glancing at the dial, Zhang Mu calmly explained: "The way my hometown calculates time is with a total of twelve scales, one for one hour."
People from other worlds can understand the concept of hours, but they usually use hourglasses to calculate time.
It is troublesome to carry and use.
"A gift from God." The shopkeeper's eyes were glued to the watch. "Sir, your hometown must be the land that God favors the most."
"I didn't... if you say so, then so be it." Zhang Mu pulled down the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to take it?"
"of course."
The shopkeeper puffed out his chest suddenly, then gradually retracted it: "It's not cheap. Sorry sir, I may not have enough gold coins."
"You give me the price."
Hearing him say this, the shop owner stroked the watch gently, fearing that he would damage the glass cover, so he only dared to rub around the dial with his fingertips:
"How about twenty, no, thirty gold coins? Sorry sir, this is all I have."
Zhang Mu had a headache.
There is no use for him to have so many gold coins, he can just sell a few for emergency use.
But this grocery store is too small, and the products are very few. I didn’t see anything suitable to be sold on Blue Star.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Mu pointed to a few herbs on the shelf that can be used to brew magic potions and said, "Give me one of these, and give me five less gold coins."
The shop owner was an honest man, and his mental power did not fluctuate violently, which meant that the thirty gold coins were indeed his.
Zhang Mu thought about finding an excuse to leave five coins for him, otherwise the owner’s life during this period might be affected.
"Thank you very much, sir." The owner excitedly bent down to express his gratitude, obviously seeing Zhang Mu's good intentions.
He first went behind the counter and took out an exquisite wooden box to put the watch in. Then he put twenty-five gold coins in a drawstring cloth bag, packed the herbs that Zhang Mu wanted, and handed it out.
Zhang Mu took it with one hand, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped.
"Sir, this is for you."
Turning around, I saw the shopkeeper holding a small cloth bag in his raised hand: “You must be traveling around the continent, right?
This is a specialty of Kas Town. It is not very valuable and there are a lot of them in the forest outside the town. "
"It's a waste of time to go all the way to collect them. I just happen to have some here. You can keep them as a souvenir."
He took it and weighed it. A sound similar to the collision of stones came from the bag. Zhang Mu casually hung it on his belt and said, "Thank you."
Exit the shop and go to Potter's house.
When he arrived at the door, he fed Dawang a sausage as usual, and then prepared to go into the house, but found that Potter did not leave the door open today. Feeling a little strange, he raised his hand to knock on the door.
"It's that man with bad intentions!"
"Your Highness, look, he's coming after me. I said I was right!"
The shouting voice sounded familiar, after all, he had heard it half an hour ago. Zhang Mu turned right and saw the master and servant he had met at the door of the grocery store not far away.
