"However, I would like to state first: although I gave this pearl to you, its actual owner is still our Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although you can't see it, inside this pearl, the identification symbol of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce has already been made.

Therefore, you can only use it for display purposes, and you must indicate that this object was given to you by the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. Once you don't want it anymore, you can't sell it to anyone else or organization except the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. All right? Shadow reminded the boss.

"Okay. It turns out that Mr. You are a distinguished guest of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, what a blessing, please hurry up and go into the house to rest. As for this large purple orb that is worthy of the best quality, it will be the treasure of the small shop in the future. I'm never going to sell it. Seeing this, the boss immediately greeted him courteously and nodded his head.

"Boss. We have something else to do. Shadow handed the big purple orb to the boss, put away the pearl necklace, and walked out of the jewelry store with Noyachenko.

"Gentlemen, please wait. I have a few pieces of jewelry here, so please take them with you. Seeing this, the boss thought about it and hurriedly picked out a few fine pieces of jewelry from the counter; Chasing after Shadow and Noyachenko from behind, he shoved a few valuable pieces of jewelry into the hands of the man in black and the blonde elf man.

I know that I have picked up a big cheap boss, and I think I should express it no matter what.

"I thought I had touched a big bad luck today, and I met two lords who were selling evil things, but I didn't expect to meet the God of Wealth; climbed the high branch of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and it will be difficult to think of being rich and prosperous in the future.

You see, the price of this big orb is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, to say the least, and even our store can afford it. In that jewelry store, the owner carefully held the big purple orb in both hands, and was admiring it with his wife and his eyes.

"Wouldn't it!? ――The boss chased him out of the store and stuffed the goods into the customer's hands. How can there be such a business? - "After the owner of the jewelry store left, he couldn't help but wonder what puzzled him.

"For he knows the value of what I give him, but you don't; He also understands the importance of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce to him, and you don't understand it either. Shadow explained to Noyachenko why.

"Oh! ――Is that the example you gave? Noyachenko suddenly realized.

"Exactly. This is what the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce does. The Shadow concluded.

Suddenly, Shadow looked up, took out the pearl necklace given to him by the owner of the jewelry store from his bosom, and ripped off a pearl; The thumb and forefinger of his right hand picked up the pearl and threw it at the top of a towering tree by the side of the road.

Immediately afterward, I heard only "Quack! A bird's call. A strange bird with a dark body and eyes like blood rubies flew up from the tops of the towering tree. Shadow didn't want to kill the bird, so instead of using darts, he used pearls instead.

"What's going on? It's just a blackbird. Noyachenko was puzzled by this abrupt move.

"Keep up. I'm going to catch this bird. Without saying a word to Noyachenko, the shadow rushed at the blackbird with a single lunge, and then leaped into the air.

Seeing this, the strange black bird fluttered its wings and was about to fly higher. Shadow removed the pearls from the pearl necklace one by one, aiming at the blackbird and throwing them continuously. I saw that every pearl he threw had accurately hit the wings of the black strange bird.

"Quack! Wail! Wail! With a terrible birdsong came. The black feathers of the strange bird fell from the sky, and the injured wings flapped flap lower and lower. Seeing that the shadow reached out and was about to catch the strange bird. A figure suddenly took the lead, flashed in front of the man in black, and caught the strange bird.

"Sir. What is it about my pet that provokes you? Why are you shooting it with all this stuff? The figure was a tall man wearing a tall black top hat, a black tuxedo, and glasses with opaque round lenses on his face, with white gloves on his hands, black leather boots, and a neat bow tie around his neck.

The man's face was filled with a strange smile, and he held a long cane in his right hand, standing on the ground; In his hand, he held a large handful of pearls thrown by the Shadow. The strange black bird had rested firmly on his right shoulder. The opaque round lenses on the man's glasses are one-way see-through, making it impossible to see which direction his pupils are looking.

"Who are you?" Shadow asked in surprise about the strange man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"As a gentleman, you should declare your name before asking for someone's name - this is the most basic courtesy. My name is Weirdo Pi. What about you, sir? The weirdo grinned and asked.

"Weirdo, that's an interesting name. Who I am, you don't need to know. This bird is not your pet either. Please leave it to me. "Shadow didn't hesitate to ask for the weirdo.

"Hey, hey. Boy, you hurt my bird, and you still want to blackmail me? The strange man raised his staff in his right hand and pointed to the shadow's face in question.

"If you don't hand it over. I had to grab it hard. After speaking, the shadow stretched out his right hand and rushed towards the strange man. Unexpectedly, just when his right hand was about to catch the blackbird that was resting on the shoulder of the strange man. The strange man suddenly flashed to the left side of the black-clothed man's body, and blocked the shadow with the long cane he held in his right hand.

Through close observation, the round lenses on the eccentric glasses reflect the halo of a cross in the sunlight; On his bearded face, two rows of white teeth were revealed in his open mouth, and thick eyebrows on his glasses were accompanied by a strange smile. When I saw it, I couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

Shadow grasped the strange man's long staff with his right hand and glared at the other man's face with his eyes; Then I suddenly felt that the strange man's cane held in his right hand began to heat up sharply, and it became very hot in an instant. The man in black hurriedly let go of his cane, and jumped behind him without hesitation for a moment.

With bang! The sound of the air shattering. The strange man threw his cane high into the air. Immediately after, pong! A bang. I saw that the cane fell vertically from the air, and most of it was pierced under the granite pavement. Around the road where it plunged, deep cracks were shaken out and spread out in a radial pattern.

Then the strange man jumped to his feet, flashed to the side of the staff, and placed his right hand on top of it. The cane was immediately pulled out of the road and immediately recoiled steadily into the right palm of the strange man's hand.

"Who the hell are you?" Seeing this, the shadow asked the strange man again.

"Shadow. Can't fight someone else for a bird? Noyachenko, who was standing nearby and watching, saw this and was very puzzled to persuade him.

"This little brother is very right. This is not a place for fights. The strange man turned his head to look at Noyachenko, and echoed.

"You hurt my bird, but I don't care. Because these pearls can be used as compensation. I accidentally damaged the pavement, please pay some compensation for me. Leave. ”

When the strange man had finished speaking, he turned away, and half his face was turned back, glancing at the shadow with his peripheral vision; At the same time, he pinched the brim of the top hat with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand and lifted it slightly upward; The grinning grin, the corners of the mouth curled up, and the two neat rows of teeth showed again; Then, without looking back, he walked out of Galia.

Seeing that the strange man is extraordinary, if he really wants to make a move, he will definitely cause a riot, and it is obviously his own fault; So I had to give up and watch the other party leave.

"Shadow. Why are you attached to that bird? That person just now wasn't an ordinary person, was he? Noyachenko walked over to the shadow and continued to ask questions.

"It's a trivial matter, but it's just a misunderstanding. We continued shopping. Shadow said, and took a step forward.

"Ms. Sue. The opponent's vigilance still seems to be quite high. The strange man walked out of the city of Galia, and went straight to a dense forest outside the city, where he met Sue, who was waiting for him.

"Damn--weird. You hateful fellow, how can you stick it to you? When Su saw the strange man, he accused him loudly; He immediately stepped forward and used a spell to remove the black strange bird from the stranger's shoulder.

"Ms. Sue. You should know. I've always had little patience and no love. If anything gets in my way, I'll keep it quiet in my own way. The strange man's face showed that strange and terrifying smile again...

"Noyachenko. Can you tell us a little bit about Croix? Walking on the sidewalk, the shadow put aside the scene that kept floating in front of his eyes, confronting the strange man just now, and asked Noyachenko beside him.

"What? Are you also interested in Sister Croix? However, isn't it in vain that you ask me this question? Hearing this, Noyachenko asked with a smile.

"I don't think it's in vain. I don't have any extra thoughts about her, I just want to know something about her. You should know quite a bit. "There is no change in the expression of the Shadow.

"Then why don't you just ask her personally?" Noyachenko continues to avoid the topic.

"If she would tell me, I wouldn't have asked you. I have just answered your question about the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. As a friend, could you please answer my question as well? Shadow still didn't want to give up and continued to plead.

"It's not a secret anyway. It doesn't hurt to tell you. Sister Croce and Big Sister Croce are both the daughters of General Croso. The two grew up together in an orphanage since childhood, and although they often quarreled with each other since they were children, their relationship was actually very good. ”

When Noyachenko heard this, he looked up at the sky happily, and the long golden hair behind his head swayed in the wind; The right hand starts from the bangs and continues until the hair strokes his hair slightly and responds.
