A strange world

Chapter 227 Chapter 80. Paper Girl

Holding the rolled-up paper between his arms, Parker squeezed through the surging crowd, hurriedly walked through the streets to Scavenger Park, and sat on a bench in the cool morning air. First, he carefully rubbed his frozen palms, picked up the "magic scroll" he had grabbed for 10 copper coins, and followed the merchant's loud reminder to tear off the dotted line in the lower right corner of the magic newspaper.

The magic aura flickered, and the entire magic newspaper suddenly came alive. The moving words lit up, and the girl's voice sounded crisply like melted ice water falling into a silver plate: "First meeting, reader, you are reading: Saint Laurent Calendar 999 April 10, 2018, the first issue of "Xingyue Bay News", I am Evelin."

"Mom! The wanted criminal on the paper has spoken!"

The curious little girl who was leaning over screamed and ran towards her mother.

Parker, on the other hand, was intoxicated by the girl's sweet voice and couldn't help but shudder.

"First, let's pay attention to the recent events in Allen Continent: the rebellion in the Keanu Empire is getting more and more serious. The division of this ancient country that existed before the elves is inevitable. Refugees are fleeing to surrounding countries. Ratmen are also encroaching on the land. The surrounding countries The Grand Duke and the Lords are discussing how to resolve the crisis."

On the magic newspaper, several blurry figures sat around in front of the golden-glow parliament hall, and the grand words that echoed were solemn and solemn.

Evelin's voice and the illuminated text jumped across the image and entered the second news: "The Kingdom of Ruikaner discovered traces of the Scarlet Parliament. They captured the southernmost city-state of the kingdom. The king has summoned the Laurel Knights to prepare to take back the city-state. The Council is debating whether to declare war on vampires.”

Looking up at the sky, black clouds covered the sky and dyed it a blood-red apocalyptic color.

The residents of Allen Continent—Sacred Human Federation—Northern Territory—Rikaner Kingdom—Prang’s Gift County—Breeze City—Daisway Street, Parker’s mouth opened wide.

Also open-mouthed were the crowds who had gathered behind me at some point.

The magic newspaper presented the world thousands of miles away before their eyes. They never knew that the world was so big and that the Kingdom of Ruikan'er was no longer a distant symbol.

More and more people were standing around the bench, and the news continued: "Let us continue to pay attention to the secret: Mrs. Winter, the flower of the snowfield, has been under attack since she obtained the key in Bethal City. The attackers include vampires and others. The Ratmen have mercenary groups, as well as lords and nobles. The King of the North hereby warns all forces that attacking royal family members is an unforgivable act. Anyone who attacks Lady Winter will be punished by the King of the North and Xingyue Bay. Considered an enemy.”

The tall woman in the newspaper was wearing a white bear skin, looking down with lowered eyes, her red lips slightly parted: "It's just a bunch of nightclubs..."

The jumping text came to the vertical page in the middle of the newspaper: "Joke in this issue: A mage in the Mage Tower spent several days making a magic item: an immunity ring. In order to test the immunity effect of the ring, he commissioned a mage friend Unleashing fireballs on himself. Later, his friends dug out a ring and a well-protected finger from the ashes."

Deep laughter echoed around the benches, and Parker woke up to find people surrounding him. So he raised the magic newspaper so that more people could see it.

Parker is a person who enjoys sharing good things, or in other words, being surrounded by others brings him a sense of satisfaction.

"Science time: We can actually see our nose all the time, but we always ignore it."

Next to the bench in Scavenger Park, a group of brothers who Martin had never met appeared.

"Next is the news from the North: The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the Frost Giant tribe is retreating steadily under the attack of the druids, returning to the snowy mountains. But the scars left in the forest have not disappeared. We interviewed a tree man druid - —”

A tree druid like an oak tree appeared on the image and said: "We maintain nature and balance. The frost giants destroyed tracts of forests, so they need to pay the price..."

"Please let us pay our respects to the Druids who protect the forests and towns."

"There is also good news. The only port in the north is about to be built——"

In the newspaper, a half-dwarf who looks like a dwarf but has a delicate appearance said: "Before May, ships from Xingyue Bay will set off from the bay to sell our goods and goods to the south!"

"Olmedo Augusta, the Lord of Breeze City, attended the banquet at the City Lord's Palace and announced that Breeze City's tax revenue in the first quarter of this year will increase by 20% compared to previous years. He said that the increased tax revenue will be used to build city walls and recruit soldiers to prepare for the possible growth this year. Prepare for a major Skaven attack."

In the luxurious and lively banquet, the handsome and tall Olmedo stood in the most conspicuous position.

"Next is the text message from Xingyue Bay: Xingyue Bay and the Druids have reached a cooperation to plant trees and farm together. It is expected that Xingyue Bay's grain production will increase to 1,800 pounds this year; by the King of the North, Annan Reviy The Susan spinning machine invented by Si is selling well in the Principality of Keating and many places in the south; Annan Reeves announced that the commercial tax on Xingyue Bay will be reduced to 10% and the agricultural tax will be 30% to recruit citizens; Marine fish heading to Breeze are highly sought after.”

"This is the end of the first issue of "Xingyue Bay News". We will see you in the second issue."

Readers who are still interested can hear the elegant sound of the piano that they heard in "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower".

"What that guy came up with...is really interesting."

From the corner of the crowd, a cloaked silhouette whispered.

After dozens of seconds of music, the reading of the magic newspaper returned to the beginning: "First meeting, reader, you are reading: April 10, 999 in the Saint Laurent calendar..."

Readers who woke up from the sound of the piano asked:

"What's this?"

"Where did you get this?"

"Sell it to me...!"

"I bought it on the street in front!"

Parker said, but it should have been sold out by now... Thinking of this, Parker hid the magic newspaper in his arms, squeezed out of the crowd, and hurried home with a sweet voice that surprised passers-by.

boom.

Parker closed the door, took out the magic newspaper, put it on the table, and sat next to it with his chin in his hands.

The magic newspaper brought long-lost tranquility to the long-dormant home. Then, from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening, Parker spent the day with the magic newspaper, and even fell asleep listening to it late at night.

At midnight, the sound in the magic newspaper suddenly stopped. Parker woke up from his deep sleep and checked in a panic. Then he realized that the businessman's reminder, besides tearing off the dotted line in the lower right corner, was that the magic newspaper would lose its magic in the early morning of the next day.

Tossing and turning, Parker put on his cotton coat and wandered the streets with the lifeless magic newspaper, looking for merchants selling magic newspapers. Finally, in the dim light of the morning, Parker saw the carriage carrying the magic newspaper drive into Breeze City.

Parker, who grabbed a copy, hurried back home, and Evelin's voice was still sweet. Parker was lying on the bed, having a dream he didn't want to wake up from.
