Chapter 440: Suspicious Alley

This reminded Yulia of the feeling she had when she was a child eating ice cream and seeing "One More" printed on the bottom of the box.

I instantly felt like I was dreaming back to my childhood.

It's a pity that she can no longer eat such delicious ice cream.

Because the factory that produced that brand of ice cream closed down a few years ago.

It seems that they were squeezed out because the cost of making ice cream was too high.

That brand of ice cream is very special. Its cream is made in the most sincere way - it is made from the thick fat of whales mixed with milk, sugar, etc.

Yulia didn't know how these things turned into sweet cream.

But she knows very well that the ice cream made this way has the best taste and texture. It doesn't smell as fishy as some people think.

It has a very strong fragrance and an extremely soft and smooth taste.

It truly melts in your mouth.

That ice cream is really a pleasure to eat.

When she was a child, she would often try to be a good child for a week, just so that after church on Sunday, she would take seventeen copper coins to buy ice cream under the old oak tree on Farlow Street.

The ice cream is sold from a cart with a whale painted on it. They are all packed in square iron boxes. After eating, you have to return the tin box to the shop owner.

The kids ate it on the spot, so there was no inconvenience.

While it's a bit strange to watch a whale promote ice cream made from its blubber, it's fairly common.

The bacon shop across from her home when she was a child would also draw a cute pig head on the sign.

All that's left is to give it one more line: "Come and buy my meat and eat it!"

Eunice quickly finished both pies.

Although she still wanted to eat here, but when she thought about going back to eat with Kodera, she decided to stop there.

After all, it's a shame that Kodera can't go out and enjoy some freshly baked pie. Then at least bring her one copy.

Moreover, eating together can make her feel cared for.

Eunice packed the pie in a paper bag.

She originally wanted to go back the way she came, but after thinking about it, she finally decided to take a slight detour and go back through the fork in the back of the alley.

Ever since I officially became a Temple Knight, I have become very busy at work... I haven't been here for a long time...

As she walked, she thought in her heart.

If you have a chance today, let's take a walk around here! The pie needs to be reheated anyway when it gets home.

By the way, there are still as many people setting up stalls here as ever...

They really sell all kinds of things.

They even sell cursed straw men that you can stick needles on.

She just looked over there with a slightly interested expression, and the shopkeeper immediately covered the straw man with a cloth vigilantly.

Probably because he was selling dark magic items, which was illegal. So if you want to avoid the knights being taught from causing trouble.

Yulia actually had no intention of confiscating them.

Moreover, the shop owner's actions were too late. It's too late to cover him with a cloth now.

What you should have seen has long been seen.

In any case, Yulia was not prepared to talk to him.

After all, that kind of cursing straw man is useless. It's not a really dangerous black magic item. Although some black magicians do use straw men to cast spells, they still need to be made by themselves. There is no point in buying just one.

So all said and done, if this guy really has to go to court, the final charge will probably be fraud.

Because he doesn't actually sell black magic items.

When Yulia thought of this, she suddenly doubted whether she was not competent enough.

As a Temple Knight, shouldn't we stop this illegal behavior?

But she also felt that as long as what this guy was selling wasn't actually harmful and didn't hurt anyone, she could just turn a blind eye.

It would be unreasonable to take action when you see illegal behavior. It’s not easy to make ends meet.

And, ultimately, she wasn't following the law properly.

After all, there is a wanted criminal hiding in his home!

...I always feel that this alley gets more and more weird the deeper you go.

It's obviously just a small alley branching off from the food alley, but there are so many stalls selling contraband.

Suspicious drugs, suspicious instruments, suspicious weapons...

…and questionable reading.

Yulia blushed just seeing the things on that stall.

She knew that she was seventeen and had become an adult last year, so this was something she could watch at her age.

But even if you just look at it a few times, you will feel very embarrassed.

Such a shameful book was openly sold on a blanket.

Yulia felt that this was against the law and morality.

However, when I thought about it again, I felt that hiding in such a dark alley and selling it didn't seem to be an open sale.

"Oh, Miss, are you very interested?" The boss noticed that she was covering her eyes with her hands while secretly peeking between her fingers. He held back a smile and asked, "Come on, take a closer look! You can open and choose from them all. Oh? If you have any specific preferences, you can tell me and I will recommend them for you."

"No, no, no need!" Yulia quickly waved her hands and shook her head to express her refusal: "I can just read it myself - ah no, I mean, I don't read these at all!"

"Oh, that's fine. Please take your pick! One copy for two silver coins. I'll sell you three copies for five silver coins, right?"

"Eh?! I told you I won't watch it - why is it so expensive!"

Yulia thought it was something she shouldn't buy.

Of course, even taking a look at it is very wrong.

As a temple knight, you must resolutely refuse to read such inappropriate books.
