Chapter 16: The Derek Chamber of Commerce
The next day, Zoe and Vivien slept until noon. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info was still awakened by the innkeeper knocking on the door, the boss asked them if they wanted to have lunch, saying that the hotel had prepared lunch. Zoe and Vivien realized that it was already noon, and strangely enough, the sunlight shining on their faces through the uncurtained window failed to wake them up.
Zoe thought to himself that maybe the mattress in the hotel was so comfortable that he didn't want to get up when he lay down, much more comfortable than the wooden bed at home.
"Oops, my head hurts." Vivien rubbed her head, making a mess of her long red hair, looking very sloppy, "Strange, did you run into something last night?" β
"I hope I didn't make you stupid." Zoe said angrily, "You can't get out of bed, didn't you say that you were going to the Chamber of Commerce today, and you don't have clothes yet!" β
"Uh-oh."
Vivien then remembered the purpose of the time, and hurriedly sat up from the bed, and when she glanced at the clothes she was wearing, she was slightly stunned: "Hey, why am I wearing your clothes?" β
"How do you say you're wearing my clothes?" Zoe gave Vivian a blank look, "You took a shower by yourself last night and didn't have any clothes to change, so you took away my change of clothes!" β
"Huh? Oh. β
Vivien nodded a little puzzled, looking at her as if she didn't remember much about last night. Zoe didn't bother to bother with it, he didn't know about this girl's lack of roots on the first day.
After changing her clothes and washing up, Zoe gave Vivian the medicine and watched her become a normal person before taking her out. During this time, they refused the kindness of the innkeeper and did not choose to stay at the hotel for dinner.
After walking out of the hotel, Zoe subconsciously glanced at the stable, and originally wanted to see the little black donkey, but saw a tall black horse. The big black horse was holding its neck high, as if disdaining the tsundere expression of mingling with the other creatures in the stable.
Only then did Zoe remember that he had met a strange person last night.
Zoe thought about it for a while, but decided to ask Vivian, "Hey, Vivian, are there any other humans in your extremely cold land besides witches and orcs?" β
"Of course there is." Vivien nodded, "On the outskirts of the Extreme Cold Lands, there are also ordinary people who have lived there for generations, and those people have gathered together to form villages to guard against the attacks of the orcs. β
"Well, okay, I see."
Zoe guessed that the strange person she met last night might be the people in Vivian's village. But there's another question that Zoe has always wondered, and that is how did the witch come about? There is no such thing as a wizard in this world.
After listening to Zoe's question, Vivian replied: "There are only two situations for the appearance of witches, one is inheritance, if the mother is a witch, marry an ordinary man, if the child born is a woman, then it is very likely that it is also a witch." One is, well, suddenly a witch. β
"What do you mean to suddenly become a witch." Zoe genuinely felt that Vivien had a lot of things to say that was difficult to understand.
"As long as it's a girl, there's a certain chance of becoming a witch, but it's just very small." Vivien said, "It's like my second sister, her parents are ordinary people, but she's a witch. β
Zoe was surprised: "Is this okay?" β
Vivien nodded as a matter of course. Zoe was silent, because in the church's saying, only if the devil takes a fancy to a woman, she will be chosen as a witch and inherit the devil's blood. Now it seems that this statement is really a bit ridiculous.
The two of them said as they came to the Derek Chamber of Commerce. As Zoe said to Vivien at the beginning, the Derek Chamber of Commerce is very famous, and it has a very long history, just like Caesars City. And its monogram, a flying carrier dove, is probably second only to the cross of the Church in Caesar's prestige.
"Hello two, my name is Alben Derek, can I ask if there is anything I can do for you?" Zoe and Vivian are greeted by a young man from the Derek family.
"Well, not for now, we're just looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Alborne's interest suddenly faded a lot, "Okay, who are you looking for?" β
"A friend of mine, his name is Andillo."
"Andyro?"
"Well, have you heard of it?"
"Never." Alben shook his head.
Zoe thought to herself: Nonsense, the name I said casually, you have heard of it, there are ghosts.
"Then it's not a hassle, we can just look for it ourselves." "He may or may not have arrived, so we'll just wait." β
"Okay, feel free."
After Elben realized that the two people in front of him were unlikely to be his guests, he didn't think much of them, and after a casual perfunctory remark, he regained his smile and went to receive the other person.
"Zoe, why didn't you just tell him that we were looking for Randy?" Vivien asked, a little dissatisfied.
"Stupid, do you know who Randy is?" Zoe scolded in a low voice, "What if it's someone from the church?" Isn't it looking for death to bring you here? β
Vivien tilted her head and thought about it, thinking that Zoe had a point.
"What then?"
"Go to the free market and ask." "Just go and buy something, and you can ask a lot of things." β
The free market is located within the Derek Chamber of Commerce. It was merchants from all parts of the Aranthian Empire, in fact, it was called a free market, but in fact it was just a trade between merchants and merchants. Both sides of the same profession know each other, so the price is much cheaper than the one outside, and there are many things that cannot be bought outside.
Zoe had heard of this place for a long time, but had never been in. Because it's not something that can come in casually, if you want to come in, one person has a gold coin. Where could Zoe afford it before? But now it was different, he only had to grit his teeth a little - until he bit the gums and bleed, and then he gave the two gold coins to the guard very "magnificently", and then brought Vivien in.
Looking at the lobby full of vendors, Zoe lowered her voice and said to Vivien, "You must ask Randy's whereabouts, it cost me two gold coins." β
Vivien blinked and muttered, "It's not mineβ"
"Huh?" Zoe glared at her, and Vivien immediately didn't dare to speak.
Zoe nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time, he began to look at the nearby goods. After all, he came here, and he was not too willing to buy some things back.
