Chapter Twenty-Three: Shopping

Jingle bells, and the bell tied to the door of Miki's store is struck again with a crisp sound, and it looks like another customer has come to the door.

"Huh, you're back again, didn't you say you'd come back tomorrow?" Miki was still dusting the dust off the walls with a feather duster, while Capa was asleep on the cupboard.

"Oh, you've got a new one so quickly! and this pesky bell. ”

After poking at the bell-ringing thing on it, Tsukime scanned the environment of the entire house, indeed, the fine frost on this wall has not been completely cleaned, and the power of the ice lord is really terrifying.

"Hmph, you're underestimating my efficiency as a grocery store owner, aren't you?

Miki glanced at Tsukime who walked through the door, his languid demeanor and his messy hair at this time, showing his proper posture as an otaku without shying away.

"Come buy something. Tsukime said.

As soon as he heard that Tsukime was going to buy something, a shining Venus instantly appeared in Miki's eyes, not only did he immediately throw away the feather duster in his hand, but even his attitude followed a 180-degree reversal, and sure enough, Miki's essence as a businessman was completely exposed at this time.

"What do you need to buy? I specialize in all kinds of rare treasures here, specializing in curing all kinds of incurable diseases~" Miki rubbed his hands, smiled hehehe, and once again said the signature quotation he was proud of.

It's this sentence again...

"Well, I want a robe, one that can cover my face, do you have one here?"

"Robes, hahaha, of course there are, especially the strange props, there are countless of them. Like a wizard's witchcraft costume, a magician's magic cloak, and a knight's cape, etc., everything you want, you have everything~"

"Uh... You don't have to be so tall, just bring me an ordinary robe..."

"Oh?!How can my store sell that kind of boring thing!Look at it, look at it, this wizard's cloak, the golden pattern on it, how mysterious it is, and the wizard will have an effect bonus when he applies witchcraft after wearing it~ Look at this magician's cloak, how deterrent it is, wear it and I guarantee that you will become the object of attention, by the way, and this handsome knight's cloak, you will definitely ...... if you put on him"

Watching Miki excitedly take out one luxurious and bright cloak after another from the cabinet, Tsukime was a little speechless, this guy really sells everything, but... None of them seemed to be what he needed.

He shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "Don't you have a slightly normal cloak?" ”

"Black, did you say it earlier, how about this?" Then, Miki forcefully pulled out an oversized black cloak from the cabinet, and looked at it carefully, the scattered red marks on it and the huge black background looked particularly delicate and delicate, and there was a faint hint of domineering under its mystery.

"How is it?, this is the robe of a certain monarch in ancient times~"

Miki grinned, and seeing that Tsukime was interested in this black robe, he hurriedly added oil and vinegar to this majestic guy and said, "The material of this black robe is made of high-quality pure silk, flowers from the other side, and tar smelted from the bottom of the deepest sea in the world, the Macrando Sea. Although it is soft and silky to the touch, it is invulnerable, and it is difficult to invade by ice and fire. ”

"Well, it does look good, but it's just a bit big. Yuemu touched her chin and looked at the black robe that was almost two meters long with interest.

"Who's robe is made of petty and stingy, in that case, let alone the protective effect, its ornamentality will be greatly discounted. ”

Staring at Tsukime's eyes, he had many years of experience in buying and selling, and a trace of light crossed his eyes, and it seemed that he had expected what Tsukime would say next.

"Okay, I want it, how much does this cost?"

"Eight hundred. ”

"Damn, it's just a robe, you're too black, aren't you?"

"Hmph, I'm losing money by selling it to you, to be honest, I want to keep this guy for myself! If it weren't for your good strength and wanting to have a good relationship with you, I wouldn't sell it!" Miki held the black robe and looked at Tsukime with eyes like a treasure, but this time, he did tell the truth.

"Alas... Okay, I want this one, and since I won't pay it back, then you can give me another mask. ”

"Uh, okay, okay. Miki spread his hands, took out a mask from the cabinet, and said: "This mask is also made of the same material, and some medicinal herbs are added in addition, so it can prevent poison, smoke and biogas, so I will give it to you together!"

Looking at Miki, who suddenly became generous, Tsukime really hesitated, and after some scrutiny, Tsukime slowly stretched out his hand.

When Tsukime took the cloak and mask, he began to carefully observe the workmanship of the cloak and mask, and when he looked closer, it was indeed as Miki said, the material was of the highest quality, and it also had a faint fragrance, and the mark engraved on the cloak made of the other side flower was slightly shiny in the sunlight, Tsukime nodded with satisfaction and took it back with his mind, and then asked, "Do you have any healing potions here, and sell me some too." ”

"Uh-huh...... There are even more types of this thing!I have a lot of elixirs here~ and they are all superb!" So, Miki constantly took out one elixir after another from his mahogany cabinet, fairy grass and other items, and listed them on the counter, among which there was a thing called the Flower of Nature that made Tsukime very interested, the Flower of Nature, as its name suggests, after taking it, you can absorb the natural qi of this heaven and earth, and the natural qi is the purest power in this heaven and earth, which is both yang and yin, which is extremely beneficial to cultivation.

"The flower of nature, two hundred pieces each. Miki stretched out his finger and said.

"Give me four more bottles of medicine for external wounds. Let's get together six hundred dollars. ”

"Okay~By the way, don't you look at these herbs and elixirs anymore?These are all things that are suitable for you~"

"Well, no need, thanks. "Yuemu wants them all, but his three strings of red candles on the other side are only worth fifteen hundred yuan, and two natural flowers, four bottles of medicine for wounds, and that cloak are just enough.

"Okay, thenβ€”" Miki stretched out his hand and motioned for Tsukime to take out the money.

"Give. Tsukime put the three strings of red candles on the other side of the counter and was about to leave.

Miki was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted at Yueme: "You, you... Wait a minute. ”

"Huh?" Tsukime turned back.

"What do you mean? I'm not a bartering place, I'm only interested in money!" Miki shouted.

"Oh... But now I don't have any money on me, only these three strings of red candles from the other side, which I just got from someone else. ”

"I don't have any money, you can buy a fart!! hurry up, return the things!" Just as Miki stretched out his hand to snatch the herb from Tsukime's hand, Tsukime turned sideways, causing Miki to pounce into the air, and then, Miki's face slammed against the wooden cabinet.

"You... You're a robber!" Miki said with his nose covered, full of resentment.

"I've obviously given you something of the same value, okay, saying I'm a robber, I think you're trying to find a fight. With that, a raging flame ignited in Tsukime's hand. Seeing that Tsukime really wanted to fight, Miki quickly retracted the steps he had just taken. Then he took a step back, and said with a hideous face: "Hmph! If you have strength, you will bully people! I... I..."

"What are you, I have memorized the thing I did before! Moreover, I will definitely become stronger in the future, and if I really annoy me, I will definitely destroy your shop when I come back in the future." ”

Seeing Tsukime's cold and fierce face, Miki bit his lip with his teeth and sighed helplessly. He said, "Forget it, you can take those things! Don't come to my store to buy anything again, hmph, it's not good to trade with you." ”

"Then take your leave. Tsukime used his mind to put in the two natural flowers and four bottles of potions, and left the place with a gentle step.

After he left, Miki kept pounding his fists against the surface of the wooden cabinet to show his anger.

"Ahhh

β€œ......”

Back on the path of the Wantong Pavilion.

"How about it, Ice Lord, are you quite satisfied with what I bought?"

"If you are satisfied, you dare to ask for fifteen hundred yuan for this little thing, that guy is really enough for the lion to open his mouth, and the cloak is fine, but the natural flower and the medicine for treating wounds can be bought for only a hundred yuan outside. You, you, it's really... Ay... Let me say something good. ”

"Uh... But I've already given it all the red candles on the other side, do you want to go and come back?"

"Hmph, it's really hard to get something back from that profiteer, I'll trouble you, forget it, let's do it first. This time is also a lesson for you, don't be so stupid in the future and let what others say, you have to know how to bargain?"

"Hmm..."

Tsukime walked with steps, staring at the sun in front of her that was approaching noon, and slowly closed her eyes. How long can this kind of leisurely life last? With his current strength, he is still just a small worm living in this world, and his strength is even more insignificant.

"Looks like it's time to hurry up and improve your strength!" Tsukime muttered.

"Hey, little ghost, don't worry, it won't be long before your strength is further enhanced. "It seems that the Ice Lord has already planned for Tsukime in the future, although he keeps talking about ignoring Tsukime's affairs, but in the past two days, he has indeed reached out when Tsukime needs it.

"How to improve?" asked Tsukime slowly.

"The things you just bought are the essentials for the destination we're going to. ”

"Oh, by the way, you said you were going to take me to a few places, so now you can tell me, right?"

"The first place is the Far North. ”

"The Far North..."

Hearing this name, Tsukime felt both familiar and unfamiliar, familiar, because the Far North is located in the north of the cold in C City, where it is a real extreme cold area, and ordinary ghosts are places where they will never dare to trespass, and it is said that there, there are several powerful demon clans, and there are powerful monsters, which adds a sense of mystery to this place. As for the strangeness, it's because Tsukime has only heard of it, although the distance is very close, but he has never set foot in this unknown realm, not to mention, he was able to withstand direct sunlight only after absorbing the Yin Qi of the Ice Horse a few days ago.

"There's something good there, and it's sure to help you enter the realm of ghosts. ”

"The realm of ghosts?"

"Hey, why haven't you even heard of this, you... What the hell is the country country guy you hillbilly has reached!" The ice lord was completely speechless this time, and he didn't even know the basic common sense of this world, what the hell has this guy been doing all these years!

After listening to the words of the Ice Lord, Yuemu was silent, indeed as the Ice Lord said, what has he been doing all these years. At this time, Duan Duan's memories were frequently replayed in his brain as if he was playing a videotape, but the content was almost the same, as if there was nothing else to do except squatting on the coffin board all day long to absorb that pitiful yin qi, or going down the mountain with red hair to hunt those low-level yin spirits, there was nothing else.

The Ice Lord coughed twice, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, this is more troublesome to explain, I'll read it to you in detail when I go." ”

"Well, good. Yuemu said lightly.

"Really, hey, I've waited two thousand years, I've waited for an idiot, and I've made a pact with him. The Ice Lord thought as he mocked his own ridiculousness.

After Yuemu quieted down, he walked silently, but his fists were clenched tighter and tighter at this time, and his gaze once again lost its temperature, and the dark red pupils and his indifferent expression couldn't help but make people feel a little hairy.

Not long after walking, Tsukime came to the door of the Wantong Pavilion again.
