Erin sat on the second floor of the villa, complaining about Bran's cunning, stinginess, etc., without telling her what to do to find Phoenix.

Bran responded generously to Erin and asked, "Would you be the other person?"

Looking at Erin, who was speechless, Bran followed up with another knife: "I wanted to treat you as a friend and tell you a secret of the Northland, but you didn't believe it." At that time, I demonstrated it myself in front of you and dug a big hole, but no one paid attention to it, who is to blame now? . ”

Erin slapped her eyes twice, causing Bran goosebumps, and hurriedly persuaded: "You really can't do this job, you better cut it directly with a sword, so that I can at least die happily." ”

The teenagers around them burst into laughter. Since the digging incident, the teenagers have begun to visit the villa one after another. Bran didn't refuse, he said a few words when he wanted to speak, and listened silently when he didn't want to speak, and he could always know some outside information from the conversations of these teenagers. Seeing that his sister and sister were also sitting in the middle of a group of girls at this time, laughing and laughing with each other, I always felt that this was the life they should live, not with swords all day long.

Erin replied in annoyance: "You northland!"

Bran laughed, and asked rhetorically in a way that I was happy with a, "You don't notice? ”

When Erin was about to break out and hurt someone, she immediately changed the subject: "Our girlfriends don't mention those uninteresting things, let's tell you a secret." ”

So the teenagers around them fell silent and listened intently.

"See any grass at the foot of the Shadow Phoenix?" Bran motioned for the boys to take a closer look. "That grass represents luck, and that is the true blessing left by the phoenix. ”

"Didn't you pay attention to the little grass you occasionally uprooted in the riverbank under your feet?" and then looked at Zoya and Erin and shook their heads. "It's understandable that others haven't seen this painting before, but you two ......"

Then Bran shook his chair and listened to the teenagers.

"Have you seen it?"

"I think I've seen it, but I haven't noticed. ”

When the boys left, Bran gave each of them a ring. The pattern above is what he said, representing lucky blades of grass, but each blade of grass has a different shape and angle.

......

My sister looked at Bran with a smile: "You're so bad, you're deceiving people again." ”

Bran shamelessly replied, "I'm a good person, I'm just giving them hope." ”

Then the sister and brother hooked their shoulders and laughed happily. With a wicked smile, Bran continued: "They will get into the habit of walking by the river in the future, and hopefully they won't fall into the pit they dug." ”

"You're not just going to make this crystal ball to tease them, are you?"

"No, I'm going to put a fist-sized crystal ball on the market and see what happens. ”

......

The center of the market, which is crowded with people at this time. Gazi looked absent-minded and stood beside the crystal ball - the so-called light and shadow of the phoenix.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but no one stepped forward, not because these merchants didn't want to buy, but because they knew that there were not enough equivalents to exchange, so they became the current kind of eye-opening onlookers who reported their long insights.

Bran didn't have the luxury of expecting the crystal ball to get out of his hands, it was just a primer, and he hoped that the next time the caravan came back, he wouldn't always pull a bunch of rags to the point of cheating and drinking. Since it is waiting for the caravan to come to the door, then take out a few so-called treasures, appropriately close the position of the buyer and seller, and let the caravan have more desire to invest.

It was not only the merchants who participated in the spectators, but also the idle nobles, knights, and some figures from the legations who had already been informed.

These idle aristocrats with their children were also quite helpless at this time, and all the young people who visited Bran Hill would be given one or two trinkets, or rings, or hair accessories, with patterns of flowers and plants common in the Northland. Individual good-looking girls will also be given more gifts by Bran's little color blank. Several girls such as Zoya and Erin personally helped Zoya put on the headdress, necklace, brooch, bracelet, ring, and even the anklet by Bran.

As nobles, they should return the salute according to proper etiquette. In fact, when their children enter Bran Hill for the first time, they should bring a gift. However, due to the influence of many years, as well as the impression of the Northlanders, or the Northlanders themselves, they did not think that they could have anything to do with the title of nobility.

So a group of teenagers who were visiting their masters for the first time came to the door with their paws empty. No one reminded or thought of it, so he entered the villa naturally. Then Bran gave everyone a hint that was very friendly, but made the nobles blush.

It's just that it's not easy to return the favor now. If it is the first time you visit, you only need to express it according to the etiquette, a flower, a box of snacks, and the host's return depends entirely on the mood at the time. However, the group of bear children came to the door with empty paws, and according to etiquette, they should express their gratitude for the return, and then politely declined.

But the bear children didn't, and when the children showed them the ornaments they brought back, they already knew the reason why the children couldn't refuse. Because even they can't refuse. These ornaments give them the feeling of being alive, and when the flower-patterned rings are worn on the hand, they will feel that there are blades of grass gently brushing their fingertips from time to time.

Now these nobles are facing a considerable trouble, how can they return the gift with dignity? Ornaments and the like can be said to be worthless, or they can be said to be priceless, but everything is afraid of comparison. Most of these idle nobles are rich and leisurely, and they are also well-informed, and they also have some jewelry on their bodies, but they can't take it after comparison. In terms of materials, these nobles' ornaments may be rarer, but in the face of these ornaments sent by Bran, they will always give birth to themselves as nouveau riche who show up with raw ore. So much so that when this group of nobles went out recently, they would clean up all the ornaments on their bodies. They now understand why the men of the Northland are accustomed to being shirtless and swinging around with only a knife, and natural simplicity is a beauty in itself......

Most of these nobles went to the Northland to cheat stupid boys, and some of them were purely joining in the fun, but none of them were ready to run here to embarrass people. So, they have to come up with a gift that is not so shameful. They once considered themselves civilized and laughed at the barbarism of the Northlands. They pride themselves on their magnificence, and now they don't even dare to go out with the ornaments that they once considered gorgeous, which is a shame.

Fortunately, they have money, they have a lot of money, but this is by no means what they want to admit, to put it mildly, it is the bottom.

......

In Bran's anticipation, he finally received his first real gift in return. Zoya carried a gift box and led two ponies. What is in the gift box is the property, which is the equivalent in the return gift, and the pony is the face and the specialty. After all, the aristocracy is the aristocracy and directly said that the money is too vulgar, so send some specialties to the door, and by the way, take some gadgets to give you to play, but you are still satisfied?

The two huge gems in the gift box are twisted and polished according to Bran's eyes. But Miss Zoya said that these two are rough stones, so they were slightly processed for ease of carrying. But it doesn't matter, what matters is that these two natural gemstones hide the secrets of this world. So Bran is very satisfied, very happy, his abilities need to be constantly learned and exposed to these. His expression also betrayed his mood, so Zoya on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
