Act XIV

The next procurement process was not shocking, Tia was originally a regular customer here, and did not spend too much time on selection, basically the same as in the fish shop before, and the deal was decided in a few words.

Rosen found that the shops Tia went to were not grand shops, but more simple small shops like Manolin Fish Shop, and the owners were almost all extraordinary, presumably the strong men who Tia mentioned earlier who were unwilling to be restrained.

After buying most of the things, the sun was already hanging overhead, and the three people who had planned to go back directly stopped when they passed through the strange area.

"This shop has a history of 300 years, and the owner is also a silver level, and the store collects mostly some gadgets collected from the mainland, which is perfect for gifts. ”

Tia explained that the small shop, called Laplace's Curiosity Shop, looks quite normal, and there are customers coming and going from time to time.

When Fina saw the sign of the strange store, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and when she walked into the store, she realized that it was completely different from her own small shop.

On the shelves, there are a dazzling variety of goods, ranging from dazzling jewelry necklaces to mysterious magic props, and one of the shelves is even full of miniature artifact creatures, which are shrunk and placed in bottles, and the whole shelf looks extremely noisy.

"Isn't this Tia?"

An old voice came from behind the three of them.

It was an old man in a shabby robe, with gray hair, and his eyes behind monocles were unusually clear, and the old man was a little hunchbacked, on crutches, and looked like an old gentleman.

"Mr. Ernest. ”

Tia also rarely used honorifics, obviously this old gentleman's identity is extraordinary.

"It's been a long time, and you seem to have grown a lot taller, huh...... Who are these two?"

Ernest smiled and saw Fina and Rosen beside Tia.

"This is my uncle's guests, Rosen and Fina. ”

Tia didn't say much, and then introduced the two of them.

"This is the manager of this curiosity shop, Mr. Ernest, and if you have any needs, you can ask him. ”

"This shop was opened many years ago on a whim, and it has gradually become a habit, since you are your guest, then I will give you something as a gift, you can choose one item at will in the store and take it away, no matter how informal. ”

Ernest glanced at the two of them, but they were quite enthusiastic.

When Fina heard Ernest's words, her eyes wandered up and down the shelves, finally fixing on a small ring.

The nameplate next to the ring explains the origin and function of the ring.

This ring is called the Silver Cat Ring, and it is in the shape of a ring curled up in a circle, a magic ring cast by a mage to commemorate his dead cat, and it is engraved with a slow fall spell that can make people fall from a height of less than seven floors without injury, and by the way, there are some basic magic protection functions.

The point is that this ring is quite cute, and the cat head on it is not realistic, but has a bit of silhouette color, and Fina almost fell in love with it at first sight.

"The silver cat ring, legend has it that the soul of the dead cat is attached to this ring, and protects every owner of this ring, but I found it from a merchant in Charandel in the west for three months, and I think it was decades ago. ”

With a slight sigh of emotion, Ernest reached out and took the ring off along with the box.

Rosen noticed that when his hand touched the box, dozens of magic prohibitions were unlocked one by one, presumably because there was no clerk watching here, but he was not worried about the thieves at all.

"You have to take good care of it, and I'm sure this ring will bring you good luck. ”

Fina took the ring and nodded.

And Lawson, after looking around a few times, finally fell on a pair of sterling silver earrings.

At first glance, these earrings look ordinary, but on closer inspection, you can see that they are carefully carved, and they are not inferior to any work of art.

The nameplate shows that the name of the earrings is the Remembrance Earrings, which were made by a mage to commemorate a dead lover, in addition to their powerful protective abilities, they can also sense the safety of the wearer with a special magic.

"Isn't there any soul attached to these earrings......?"

Rosen watched Ernest take the two earrings off the shelf, and thought a little out of nowhere.

"Not really, because I made it myself. ”

Ernest looked at the pair of earrings with some nostalgia.

"But that's all when I was young, everything is gone with the wind, and my memory of her has long been blurred, otherwise I wouldn't have taken out this pair of earrings here, ah, to avoid misunderstanding, she didn't die accidentally, but she grew old because of the limitations of her life. ”

Rosen knew that there must be quite a twist in the story, but Ernest didn't say that maybe the long memories had long been forgotten, as he said, or he was just pretending not to care.

"This pair of earrings is really good to give away. ”

Ernest said, seeing Rosen's intentions.

"Hopefully she'll be lucky with that. ”

Lawson accepted the box with the earrings and nodded slightly.

"So Tia, what's the matter with you?"

Although it seems that Tia walked into the store on a whim, Rosen thinks that things are not that simple, and sure enough, after giving them two gifts, Ernest asks Tia about her intentions.

"Uncle said he was going to get that thing back. ”

Tia was still vague, but as soon as the words came out, the expression on Ernest's face immediately changed.

"Really?"

There was a hint of awe in his tone.

"It's been so many years, is that lord finally going to get that thing back......"

Muttering to himself, Ernest was in a trance.

"Wait a minute. ”

Then he hurried to the room behind the counter, and after a while, he took out a small black box and carefully held it in his arms.

"I thought this thing was going to stay here until I was gone, but it looks like the gears were about to start turning. ”

Ernest sighed and handed it to Tia.

Tia solemnly took the box, did not open it, only checked the outside, and put it in her storage space.

"Thank you for all your years of guarding, Mr. Ernest, and as for the payment, I will send someone to bring it to you later. ”

"Hehe, being able to touch this thing is already the best reward for me. ”

Ernest sighed softly with emotion.
