"You're going to buy sage?
That's really the right place, each of the sage plants I have here has been carefully handled, and the magic power in each herb is perfectly sealed in the herbs, so a sage only costs sixty silver coins, if you are a connoisseur who often buys magic grass, you should know that my sage is a selling price, as long as you can bring these sage to the imperial capital, this transaction is basically a sure profit. ”The herb shop owner spread a bundle of sage on the shelf on the counter and eagerly sold it to Kig.When the herb boss quoted the price, Kig secretly gave me a look.She looked at the sage on the counter impassively."
Do you only have sage here?"
Kig frowned and asked disapprovingly, her hand casually brushing over the leaves of the sage, looking at the sage very casually, with a look of whether to buy or not to buy.At this time, the herb shop owner probably didn't know that Qige had developed a great interest in these sage, and thought that she didn't really want to buy them, so he turned his attention to other herbs.Actually, he is not familiar with Qi Ge, our Miss Qi is good at calculation, and is very familiar with the market price of magic herbs, this grade is equivalent to the level of cold ice grass, and it can be sold for at least two gold coins per plant in the imperial capital, and the pharmacy owner quoted sixty silver coins per plant is almost the bottom price."
There are also some high-quality winter thorn grass, that thing is expensive, usually stored in the demon sealing box, one winter thorn eight gold coins, are you interested?"
The herb shop owner asked Kig tentatively."
Take it out and take a look!"
Kig said nonchalantly.The owner of the pharmacy took out three magic sealing boxes from the box one after another, placed them on the counter, and carefully opened the lid of the magic sealing box, and the moment the lid of the box opened, a strong cold air poured out of the box, making the temperature in the magic herb store drop to freezing point in an instant.Although Kige and I were prepared, the cold breath in the box made us both shiver.The herb shop owner looked at Qige expectantly, and Qige paused before looking up at the pharmacy owner and asking, "Is there anything else?"
”"There are still some winter thorns, but the quality is no different from these three."
The herb shop owner hesitated for a moment and replied honestly.I saw Kig beckoning to Takama behind him, Takama came up and handed a money bag to Kige, and then obediently retreated, Qige untied the rope on the money bag, and poured all the gold coins inside on the counter, and for a time the yellow, orange and orange gold coins rushed out of the money bag, there were more than 100 pieces.Qige felt the chill emanating from the Winter Thorn Grass, as a high-grade magic herb, the Winter Thorn Grass can completely replace the effect of the Ice Grass, with so many Winter Thorn Grass, it can at least help me configure twenty bottles of Snow Falling Ink, which can allow me to draw the Frost Nova Magic Scroll to my heart's content.The value of the Frost Nova Scroll in battle cannot be overstated to us.Qige said directly: "I want all these rat tails and winter thorns in your store, help me calculate how much it costs?"
”The owner of the Magical Herb Shop didn't react for a while, and then realized that Kig seemed to have said that she wanted to buy all the two in the shop, and hurriedly said to Kige: "There are eight winter thorn grasses in the shop, and as for the sage, there are four bundles of sage, ten in each bundle, a total of eighty-eight gold coins, if you want them all, even if you want eighty-five gold coins." ”Kig just glanced at Takama behind him, and Takama stepped forward with understanding, stretched out his hand and counted out eighty-five gold coins on the counter, and then put the few remaining dozen gold coins back into his purse, and completed the transaction very happily.Subsequently, the herb shop owner hurriedly took out all the herbs in the store from the warehouse, opened them one by one and inspected them before handing them over to Qige, and the transaction ended smoothly, and then Qige asked the herb shop owner about the specific locations of other magical herb shops in the inner city, as well as the general market price of herbs.The owner of the herb shop who successfully completed the transaction was in a good mood, so he naturally knew everything, and in a few words, he explained the old background of the other herb shops.As we walked out of the pharmacy, Kig casually revealed that we were going to other magical herb stores to buy sage and winter thorn grass in large quantities.At this time, Caterina, who was standing behind her, suddenly walked up to Kig and whispered to Kige.Probably among this group, only I could see that Kig and Caterina were pretending to be acting in front of everyone, and we around us didn't have to hear what Caterina said, just from her touching expression, we could guess that Caterina seemed to say to Kige: There are not many gold coins left with us.Kig frowned as he listened to Katerina's whisper.After hesitating for a moment, he took out a black magic crystal from his arms, turned to the magic herb shop owner and asked, "Can you trade this black magic crystal here?"
”The owner of the Magic Herb Shop saw that Qige was holding a glittering black magic crystal in his snow-white palm, and finally couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and nodded fiercely.Kig and I visited four more herb shops in succession, and basically the situation in each store was the same, the healing magic herbs in these herb shops had been sold out a month ago, and this time the Nebru spider-men were under siege for more than twenty days, and now the herb shops in Tanton City only stock a few potions that are unique to the Hiero plane: sage, winter thorn grass, and some other common magic herbs.And the owners of these magic herb shops seem to be anxious to sell the backlog of magic herbs in their hands, they are pessimistic about the future prospects of Tanton City, after this time the city is broken, Tanton City will not have a few years, and it is difficult to restore the prosperity of the past, so many shop owners want to withdraw in time, and this is the easiest time for the herb store to withdraw.Because before the siege of the city, the military and some adventuring groups had already looted all the healing magic herbs in all the herb shops in the city.The proprietors of the herb shop began to dump the small number of specialty magic herbs left in the shop, but at a time when this kind of war was just over and the nobles of Tanton City were in fear, no one could have the leisure to wander around the store like me and Kig.Kig happily bought all the sage and winter thorn grass in those herb shops with a lot of gold, and then very cleverly played the same scene as Caterina when he was leaving, at first only I saw the clues, but then I visited the magic herb shops for electricity, and when it was time to leave the herb shop, Katerina and Kig played the same role, and I finally understood that Kige was quietly showing the black magic crystal in his hand to those herb dealers.She was telling the herb merchants: "We have some black crystals here, ready to sell.The inner city of Tanton has a very depressed atmosphere.Kige and I were sitting in a restaurant, and the lobby of the restaurant was deserted.I asked for a fried meat steak, the ingredients are obviously the kind of frozen meat stored in the magic box, but the chef's skills are okay, the taste of the steak is still quite good, and the meat is very tender.Later, the waiter brought another refreshment, and each small biscuit was delicately baked.On such a quiet afternoon, although the sky was still covered with gray clouds, there was plenty of light.There are no pedestrians on the street, the whole street is very clean, there is not a trace of wind, sitting in the window seat of the restaurant, not thinking about anything, just savoring this rare leisure time.Miss Qi sat across from me, gently stirring the juice in the glass with a silver spoon, which occasionally touched the ice cubes in the glass, making a tinkling and crisp sound.Karantso, Katerina, and Takama sat at another table, and the atmosphere between them was a little eerie.After a long silence, I finally couldn't help but break the silence between us and said to Kige, "When are we going to return to Pereira?"
We have exceeded the date set by the college. ”Kige looked nonchalant, glanced out the window, and took a sip of sweet juice before saying, "Wait, at least get our share." ”I think she also wants to continue to buy magical herbs from the various shops in Tandon City, and we bought up four herb shops in one morning.I rolled my eyes, glanced at the wooden ceiling above my head, stared into her eyes and said, "Hey, you are a teacher in the academy, naturally it doesn't matter, but what about my studies, I don't want to hang up, besides, the war here has ended, as for those loot, haven't we already got it?"
”"Each piece of black magic crystal, in addition to its own value, can also be exchanged for additional rewards, it is said that those rewards were promised by Samoyed himself, and our black magic crystal can be exchanged for many things."
Qige smiled like a little fox, she licked her lips and said, "As for your studies, don't worry, what happened on the Hiero plane should have been reported back to the academy a long time ago, and the dean should be considerate of us." ”There was silence again.A carriage drove through the street, and I held my chin in my hand, looked out the window, and said to Kige, "You say, what are the nobles in the inner city worried about when they are huddled at home all day long?"
”Qige's big smart eyes turned around and said, "I guess it's nothing more than that: reward and punishment!"
”I expressed my incomprehension and asked Kige, "Isn't this battle a victory?"
How can there still be a punishment?
”Kig gently bit his rosy lip and said, "Of course there will be punishment, don't think that the victory of the war, the joy of victory can erase all faults, the reward will naturally be rewarded, and the punishment will be punished." ”I don't understand why Kig would say that some nobles will be punished, is it also a sin to shrink into Tanton and not come out?
If this is the case, the most deserving punishment should be the Marquis of Armand, the consul of Tanton City.I'm wondering: Didn't the Duke of Samoyed, when he entered the city yesterday, already make it clear that he didn't want to pursue the matter?
After all, he is the son of the Duke of Samoyed, and even if he does something wrong, he will be easily forgiven.Kig stirred the ice cubes in the cup with a spoon and said: "I'm not talking about the people who guard Tanton City, they at least hold Tanton City, although the outer city has all fallen, but the foundation of Tanton City is in the inner city, as long as the interests of the aristocratic group can be kept, Samoyed will not have too many concerns, he is a very old-fashioned person, and he attaches great importance to class." ”It seems that Kig knows the character of the Duke of Samoyed very well, and I think that Kig must have her idea that she can send Katerina to the military camp under the command of the Duke of Samoyed to hone her skills.Kig then said to me, "There must be many young men in the noble families in the inner city of Tanton who served in the army of the Duke of Samoyed, and I mean the punishment of those young nobles who fled or fled without a fight.If they abandoned their army in the wilderness and escaped alone, Samoyed would inevitably be punished if such a thing became known to Samoyed. ”Her words reminded me of the young aristocratic count who fled without a fight in the stronghold of Trem, so I asked her, "Like Horace?"
”Sometimes, I have to admire Kige's eye for seeing people, I think this may be her talent, she has a charm technique, it is easy to see through a person's heart, so I am still very convinced of some of the words she said."
He probably wouldn't, he should be glad he had a great subordinate, if I were Horace, I would talk to the Knight of Disraeli, and promise some small gifts to win people's hearts!"
Holding his white chin with both hands, Kig said, "This may be a good reward for the Duke of Samoyed." ”She winked at me, her big eyes as deep as the night sky, as bright and flickering as if to ask me: How much do you care about Horace?
Kige didn't seem to care too much about the waiters in the restaurant secretly looking at her, she was in a good mood, sitting there generously, smiling with a unique charm."
I'm not talking about Horace, you seem to care about that Horace very much!"
Kig covered his mouth gently, his eyes full of teasing smiles.Kig never missed an opportunity to make fun of me, and then she smiled and asked me, "Giga, do you know what is most lacking in Tanton right now?"
”I was so confused by her charming appearance that my mind went blank, and I asked without thinking, "What?"
”Qige spat out his lips lightly and said, "Meritorious!
”Her beautiful black grape-like eyes reflected my reflection, and she said to me, "If the young nobles who have escaped want to be exempted, they must buy some meritorious deeds to clear their guilt."
Even those aristocratic families whose young family members performed well were in need of merit.It was only in times of war that these nobles had the opportunity to be promoted. ”At this point, I finally got a little bit of an idea.I said to Kig, "You mean to say that this strange tension in the aristocratic circles in the inner city of Tanton City is actually all secretly seeking to buy dark crystals?"
”Qige nodded slightly, and reluctantly said, "Almost!"
”Her charming expression was like saying, "You're finally enlightened."
At this time, a carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant, and the coachman diligently jumped down from the seat in front of him, opened the door of the caravan, and from the carriage stepped down a noble man in a dress, who was shy and shy, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and squinted into the restaurant.Kig whispered to me, "If I'm right, we'll be approached soon." ”
