It took Wix a long time to walk to the living quarters, through the waves of people, out of the alleys, and finally to the door of the villa.

The villa is the same as a few days ago, nothing has changed, but there is basically nothing left in the garden in front of the door, and the dozens of plants that were originally planted in the garden are now only a single seedling.

Before Vickers could knock on the door, a voice from inside the door came from Catimos: "Come in." ”

Vickers opened the door softly, walked in, and suddenly smelled the aroma of food.

Looking in the direction where the smell came from, there were several plates of pastries on them, steaming as if they had just been baked.

Swallowing a breath of air, Vickers looked at Catimos, who was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"It's for you, take it if you want. ”

Vickers has been eating one meal a day for the past few days, and he was already very hungry, so he sat directly on the chair at the table, took a few pieces of pastry, and ate a few times, and the taste was average.

While he was eating the pastry, Catimos said, "I don't know what you like to eat, just buy it." I'll give you some money to help me do something after eating. ”

Vickers was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, "Do things, what can I help with?"

Confused, Vickers quickly ate the pastry and silently walked behind Catimos.

Catimos didn't look back, and said indifferently: "Give you some money, go to the alchemy shop opposite the alley and buy ten light star grasses, five yin thorn fruits, five pairs of colorful butterfly clothes, and a giant's toe." ”

Vickers was writing with his fingers in the palm of his hand, and when he heard the toes behind him, his face sank: "Is this kind of thing also alchemy material?"

"That's all, go ahead. As he spoke, Catimos tossed Vickers a gray cloth bag.

Vickers took the bag, and immediately there was a clanging sound of coins colliding, and it was clear that there was a lot of money in the bag.

With his purse in hand, Vickers walked out the door and through the alley to the shop across the street.

The shop looks small from the entrance, but a sign sticks out of the front wall with the name engraved on it.

"A good partner of the alchemist".

Vickers stood blankly at the door of the store, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.

Pushing open the door of the store, a bell rang suddenly, and a short figure instantly approached Vickers.

At first glance, Vickers looked around, and the inside looked very spacious, completely different from what it looked from the outside.

It was morning, there was no one in the store, and Vickers was about to ask, "Is there anyone?"

The voice was a little shrivelled, and Vickers looked down to see a goblin standing in front of him at some point. The goblin was looking at him, his eyes flashing with water, as if he longed for something.

Looking at this goblin, Vickers remembered the goblin he had seen in the Abyssal Ancient Land a year ago, and at that time, the goblin was going to do bad things to him.

"I'd like to buy ten Bright Star Grasses, five Yin Thorn Fruits, five pairs of Colorful Butterfly Clothes, and a Giant's Toe. ”

The goblin's eyes grunted, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said with a grin: "I'll be ready immediately, please sit down, wait for a while." ”

With that, the goblin pushed open the curtain between the counters, walked into the counter, and pushed open a door behind the counter, and entered another room.

Vickers could only see that the room was dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The door closed quickly, and the movement inside was inaudible.

Instead of sitting down on the sofa in the store, Wix walked to the counter and observed the various alchemical materials placed on the counter.

Each by one, the small pedestals were covered with red cloth and placed all kinds of things, and there was a card in front of the pedestal, on which was written the name of this alchemy material.

The small counter has more than 100 kinds of materials densely placed together. Through the glass, Vickers quickly saw the words of the material he was buying.

The light star grass, on which is placed a grass that shines at one end, is conspicuous even in the daytime, the stem has no leaves, and if you don't look closely, it looks like a thick green line, and a round seed grows at the top of it, and the light source is that.

The fruit is oval, the size of a thumb, and this fruit is very strange, it is gray, and the bark covered with barbs is faintly filled with a mist of mist.

Colorful butterfly clothes, a pair of butterfly wings, countless colors on the wings are mixed together, which is not very good-looking.

After a skimming glance at hundreds of alchemical materials, there were transparent bugs, gray nails, eyeball-like lenses, and a bottle with a cloudy liquid, but Vickers didn't see anything resembling toes.

After a while, the door to the inside of the counter opened, and a goblin came out, holding a wooden box with a cloth bag larger than a human face, which must have been bulging inside.

He walked a few steps, and suddenly it became higher, probably a step hidden behind the counter.

The goblin put the wooden box on the counter and said politely, "Guest, everything you want is here." ”

Vickers opened the cloth bag, and suddenly a fishy smell hit his nose, causing Vickers to cough several times.

Holding his breath, he looked at the contents of the cloth bag again, and a pale toe was placed in it, which looked like a toe, but it was as thick as a forearm.

This should be the giant's toe.

Looking at the contents of the wooden box, ten grasses, five fruits, and five pairs of butterfly wings were separated by thin pieces of wood, and the appearance of the things was similar to that in the counter.

Vickers closed the wooden box and asked, "Boss, how is this light star grass and yin thorn fruit a little different from the ones on the counter, and the box seems to be darker in color." ”

The goblin boss did not change his face, and said naturally: "Respectful guests, the exhibits on the counter have been specially treated to keep them always the freshest, but in fact, these materials are no longer usable." ”

Seeing that the goblin boss had a good attitude, Vickers believed him, took out the money bag given by Catimos, poured gold coins on the counter, and asked, "So how much is it?"

The goblin boss stared at Vickers' money bag, and every time he poured out a gold coin, he silently counted it in his heart.

"One, two...... Eighteen ......" Vickers silently counted the money in his purse.

"Back to the distinguished guests, a total of twenty gold coins. The goblin boss said, and at the same time, all the gold coins in Vickers' money bag were poured out, exactly twenty.

Vickers pushed the twenty gold coins on the counter to the goblin boss, took the wooden box and cloth bag, and walked to the door.

The goblin boss whispered at the moment when Vickers was about to walk out, "Once sold, it will not be returned." ”

The bell rang again, and Vickers heard it, but didn't care, and walked through the alley, back to the villa in Catimos.

"A little bit faster than I thought. Vickers walked in the door, Catimos said this.

"Put it on the coffee table in front of me. ”

Wix complied.

"Did you find something wrong when you were shopping?" said Catimos, putting down the book in his hand and looking at Vickers.

"The money given by the teacher is just enough. ”

Catimos snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "In this regard, you are even worse than I thought. If I give you thirty gold coins, you will still come back with nothing. ”

Vickers was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you saying that I was deceived?"

"Not really, you're stupid. Open it up and see for yourself. ”

Vickers opened the wooden box and cloth bag, the contents had not changed, the giant's toes still exuded a fishy smell, there was nothing wrong, Vickers looked at Catimos suspiciously.

Catimos's gaze slanted, colliding with Vickers's, and with a wave of his hand, the silver light on his fingers flashed.

A piece of grass, a fruit, a pair of butterfly wings, and a toe the size of a forearm appear on the coffee table.

The same kind of items become a stark contrast on the coffee table.

Compared to the Light Star Grass of Catimos, the light emitted from the top of the newly bought Light Star Grass looked dim, the newly bought Yin Thorn Fruit was more wrinkled, the colorful butterfly clothes were also more dim, and the giant's toes were almost pale, but there was no peculiar smell that Catimos took out.

It's like a comparison between an inferior product and a good product.

Vickers's eyebrows furrowed, and he wanted to take it back for the first time, and then thought of what the goblin boss had said before he left.

"Once sold, no returns will be made. ”

Catimos waved his hand again, put away all the things on the coffee table, and said: "The goods on the counter are not clearly marked with prices, which means that the goblin sells things at a temporary starting price, and how to start the price depends on the quality of the materials."

The profiteer sees your stupidity at first sight, and what you sell you is the worst quality and worst handled, and if you ask the price in the first place, you will not lose so badly. ”

Vickers lowered his head, he didn't think of what Catimos said, he just felt that he was too gullible to others.

"You have always been locked up in your home by Lucius Mujahideen, and you have lost a kind of intelligence, you don't know how to behave in the world, and you don't observe the actions and looks of others. ”

Catimos got up, walked outside the room, and said lightly, "Take you somewhere." ”

Naturally, Vickers followed him and walked out. The two walked through the alley towards the end of the street.

On the way, Catimos suddenly said: "During this time, I will not teach you alchemy, you first remember all the known alchemy materials, such as name, shape, taste, value, etc." ”

"Go to the library?" Vickers had seen in the library the categories labeled Alchemy.

"Yes, about the second volume of that book, you don't need to rush to read it at the moment, but it will be harmful to you and make you take a detour, and the same is true for the first volume. ”

Vickers nodded, and said, "Why did you choose me......"

"You're the best fit. "Catimos said plainly.
