Oda City, one of the few municipal-level cities in the Candy Kingdom, is also the largest commercial city in China, ranking third in scale after Candy King City and another big city.

When the figure of the gate of Oda City gradually appeared in front of the eyes of Little Wukong and his party, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Sea Prince looked at everyone with a smile: "Finally come to Odda City." ”

Boboli calculated slightly: "Odda City is still quite far away, we are probably leaving...... Four or five days?"

The Sea Prince nodded: "Almost." ”

Immediately, he smiled and asked everyone, "Have you ever been to this city before?"

Xiao Qian naturally shook her head, her head shook like a rattle: "I actually only stayed in 'Gern Town' in the northeast of the country before, and I haven't been to many places in the Candy Kingdom." ”

Boboli also shook her head and whispered: "There are many places I haven't been to, but I think that one day, I will visit all the cities in China." ”

Xiaoqian gave her a thumbs up: "Good idea!

Boboli smiled and nodded.

The sea prince sighed while looking at the big characters above the city gate:

"When I was a child, I used to visit my relatives here because I had relatives doing business in the city, and I would come here to spend time with my friends and family during the holidays. Just ......"

Before they knew it, they came to the guards, and after showing their ID cards to them, they gradually walked through the city gates.

The Sea Prince continued:

Later, my relatives lost a lot of money in their business and lost a lot of money, and finally they couldn't get along in the city, so they had to leave in disgrace. Since then, I've rarely been here, and I've had ...... It's been four or five years. ”

Although Xiao Qian didn't understand these ways of doing business, she still tried to persuade her: "Big Brother Sea Prince...... Don't be too sad, if you work hard in the future, maybe you will earn the money back?"

The sea prince was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not him, I haven't done business myself, and I don't know the pain of losing money." I don't feel very sad, I just feel that my relationship with this city has been broken for a long time. ”

"Yes......" Xiao Qian didn't seem to understand the sea prince's words, but since he didn't feel sad, then she didn't need to comfort anything.

As they spoke, the crowd finally entered the city of Odda.

Compared with the previous town of Tanner, every part of this Oda City reveals a busy and prosperous atmosphere. Since it is a commercial city, there must be shops lined up on every street and street, which is much more prosperous than the so-called commercial street in Tanner Town. Mo said that it was Xiao Qian, Bo Bo Li, and even Xiao Wukong, who had visited Candy King City a little, couldn't help but widen his eyes. After all, Candy King City does not have such a prosperous commercial atmosphere, and he is the same as Xiaoqian, looking left and right, feeling novel, and exclaiming from time to time, attracting the attention of some passers-by.

At this time, the Hokage suddenly said, "You guys continue shopping, I have something to do, go first, I'll come to you later." ”

Without waiting for everyone to respond, its figure quickly flew backwards.

The sea prince smiled helplessly: "The Hokage is still so maverick. ”

But it's better than when we first met.

Little Wukong secretly complained: "I don't say hello, and I'm not like a child, and I still talk about me." ”

Xiao Qian said casually: "It's good to get used to it." ”

Then he turned his gaze to the Sea Prince, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Brother Sea Prince, you used to come here often, can you take us around?"

Bo Boli also looked at him, although he didn't make a sound, but the meaning of his eyes was the same as Xiao Qian's.

The sea prince didn't hesitate too much, and nodded directly.

So the sea prince took the group and wandered around the city of Oda .

"This is the 'Git' auction house, and it is also the largest auction house in the country, and it sells some very rare treasures that you have never seen in ordinary stores, and of course, the prices are ridiculously high. ”

The crowd came to a very large house, and the Sea Prince introduced them.

Xiao Qian was a little curious: "It's all the same for sale, why is it called an auction, and what does an auction look like?"

The sea prince smiled:

"Auction is a special way of selling, generally speaking, the buyer sits under the seat, and there will be a person in front of him to introduce the details of the product one by one, and then call a starting price, and then the buyer will raise it again and again, until in the end, no one shouts the price, even if it is sold. ”

Xiao Qian's eyes sparkled, and she was extremely surprised: "Then the final price must be very expensive, right?"

The Sea Prince explained: "That's true, but the auction is such a competitive nature, and if you ask for a price that others don't want to sell again, you win." ”

Xiao Qian muttered in a low voice: "That's too cost-effective......"

The Sea Prince laughed dumbly:

"If you haven't participated in an auction, the treasures that can be put in the auction are generally very valuable, and may even be treasures that only come out once in many years, and people will not only feel sorry for it, but they will also feel that they have earned it. ”

Xiaoqian tilted her head, thinking it was very interesting, and she would go to participate next time.

"This is the 'Oda Chamber of Commerce', which has the same name as this city. Similarly, the scale is also the largest in the country, and there are many good things in it, so you can go and see it if you have the chance. ”

The sea prince pointed to a tall building and said to everyone.

"This building is really tall, taller than the tallest building in our house. Boboli threw her head back and exclaimed.

"It's a book market, and it's going to sell some classic books. Of course, there are also skill books and exercises. ”

Before everyone could marvel, Mary spoke:

"The skill books sold in this book market are too ordinary to be worth visiting. ”

The sea prince looked at her with a smile: "It seems that you have been here before. ”

Maria squinted back, as if he were talking nonsense. The Sea Prince didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to introduce it to everyone as he walked.

"This street is dedicated to allowing people to set up stalls, and the name is simple and to the point, 'Treasure Street'. In fact, there are some good treasures that you will not usually have in stores, except for auction houses, which are such ordinary stalls, but the premise is that you have to have a good ability to 'discern pearls', otherwise, there is a risk of being cheated. ”

After listening to the sea prince's narration, the group looked at this street that was occupied by various stalls and seemed a little crowded at this time, Xiao Qian was a little uninterested, her mind was on the previous auction house; Bo Boli just nodded in agreement, obviously not very interested.

Only little Wukong and Maria, their attention is on this. It is not known why the latter is, but the former has traveled with the Great Elder before, and has been to many cities, many of which deal with this kind of stall, and he once witnessed the Great Elder confronting the stall owner for a long time against a tattered looking thing, and finally made the stall owner impatient and sold it directly to her at her price. Little Wukong was very puzzled at the time, and felt that the Great Elder didn't need to waste time on this, but the Great Elder just smiled and said that this time was well spent, and then he told about the preciousness of that thing, and once heard that Little Wukong was extremely shocked, and he really earned it.

The sea prince observed very carefully, and he noticed that the minds of the two maidens were not here, so he said to everyone:

"It's time to go shopping, let's go see them. The boy knew we were coming, and was ready to meet us. ”

"Where's the Hokage, aren't we waiting for him?" asked Goku.

"I've already informed him by transmission, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first, and let him follow. The Sea Prince replied.

"Does Big Brother Sea Prince know where the City Lord's Mansion is?"

Hearing Boboli's question, the sea prince smiled and said, "Someone will come to take us over, let's wait a while." ”

So they waited in place, letting the passers-by pass by, and in a short time a young man with blond hair appeared from their sight, and as he drew nearer, it was a familiar face.

The Sea Prince got up and smiled, "Mr. Kings, long time no see. ”

The person who came was none other than Kins, who had met Joan and Oba before.

Kings greeted politely: "Mr. Sea Prince is polite, you have come all the way, the city lord is curious about you, and wants to entertain you well, so send me to show you around the city first." ”

The sea prince smiled: "We've basically shopped around, so it's good to ask Mr. Kings to take us directly to meet the city lord." ”

The group followed Kings to a castle-like building, and the two soldiers guarding the castle gate saluted respectfully and gave in to both sides when they saw Kings.

Kings turned his head to look at everyone: "This is the residence of the city lord, daily life, office, and hospitality are all here, the city lord has been waiting inside for a long time, come with me." ”

With that, the blonde man walked through the door.

Everyone followed, and as soon as they walked in, there was a hall. Little Wukong looked around, although he didn't and couldn't be as brilliant as Candy Castle, but it was also very well repaired, and he muttered in his heart: these people will really enjoy it.

Xiao Qian looked at a crystal clear spherical object in the center of the hall with great interest, and asked:

"Is this QQ candy? It's really the first time I've seen it. ”

Kings followed her gaze and nodded:

"That's right, this QQ candy is also the treasure of our Aoda City, 'Rainbow World', which is extremely precious. ”

Little Wukong remembered the "little Mercury ray" he saw in the hall when he first arrived at the Candy Castle with the Great Elder, and suddenly felt a little strange, and then asked the Sea Prince: [(1)]

"Sea Prince, I've seen QQ candy before, but I don't understand, why are there so few QQ candy?

After a little thought, the sea prince explained:

"Because QQ candy is something that only exists in our candy kingdom, it is a symbol of our country, you have traveled with the Great Elder before, and other countries naturally can't see it. The rise of QQ sugar in China has made the profession of sugar brewer come into being and flourish, but later, the number of sugar brewers is much less than that of warriors and mages. One of the reasons is that the risk of becoming a sugar brewer is too high, and the candy is not easy to control and is extremely easy to explode. In history, there have been many tragic cases of many people who were seriously injured by accidentally not controlling the candy in order to become a sugar brewer, so now many people dare not take this profession, and QQ candy is becoming more and more rare. ”

Little Wukong sighed, looking at this beautiful candy with colorful inside, he thought of the Great Elder.

————

It was when Little Wukong was still traveling with the Great Elder, and when they returned to China for a short break, the Great Elder would meet a very strange man. The man's whole body was blocked by the rich aura, and he couldn't see his true face, but the Great Elder seemed to be able to see it, and he talked to him for a long time. Although he couldn't hear a word of the conversation, after the man left, the Great Elder suddenly sighed and said to himself:

"QQ candy, it's really getting less and less...... The people of their own country are not interested in their own culture, and are not keen on making sugar, but prefer to follow the path of magicians. As everyone knows, it is a culture brought in from other countries. Go on like this, QQ Sugar ...... Maybe it's going to die. ”

However, people understand why they should not be sugar brewers. In the end, she laughed, but there was a lot of helplessness in her smile.

————

"Little Wukong, what are you thinking? Everyone has gone upstairs. Boboli bent down, patted him on the head, and asked with concern.

Little Wukong came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go." ”

With that, he followed Boboli upstairs.

It's just that at the moment when the corridor turned, his eyes were still looking back at this "Rainbow World" QQ candy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
