In the morning, Vanilla Street is not noisy, and there are no customers in the shops.

Walking down the street, Joyce kept looking at the shops on both sides of the street, and her heart was no longer too anxious.

The towel-wrapped glass bottle, along with the seeds that had been cut into several pieces, had been temporarily buried by Joyce in the maple grove at the back door of the Mage's Tower, and had been meticulously covered up with leaves and.

"Arrin went to find Cliff, and with the weapons out of the warehouse, it is estimated that it will be an hour to return at the earliest. Joyce counted the time and saw a small jewelry store.

"Suzu!"

Entering the jewelry store on the right side of the street, Joyce was immediately attracted by the variety of accessories.

The jewelry store is slightly dimly lit and has a small counter where the rest of the jewelry is either hung or placed on the table.

"What do you need, sir?"

An old woman, speaking unfast, asked Joyce.

"A necklace, a necklace that can carry a heavier pendant. ”

Joyce only described the old woman and did not open the box to take out the locked coffin.

"Although white steel is good, it will change color after wearing it for a long time, and fine silver may be a good choice, but the price is a little more expensive. The old woman looked at Joyce's tight-collared formal suit, as if estimating his purchasing power.

"Can you take a look?"

Joyce glanced at the hanging objects in the small jewelry store, and thought it was more like a wizard's shop.

"Fifteen gold Luo, fine silver is not easy to come by, and you can also carve a guardian pattern on it. The old woman quoted the price, and seemed to be guarding against Joyce.

"Okay, as long as it's ideal, I'll buy it. ”

Joyce tapped his trouser pocket, which contained a roll of banknotes that had been prepared in the maple leaf forest.

The old woman at the counter, with wrinkles on her face that could not be concealed, did not speak very well, but after observing Joyce, she got up and opened the bed and took out a small box.

"The owner of the shop doesn't seem to be in good health, and even if he has a small store to do business, he is also a vulnerable group. Joyce roughly estimated.

When the old woman made the bed and opened the small box, Joyce's eyes were quickly drawn to the men's necklace with a silver sheen.

"This chain is interlocking, it looks quite textured, and it can also be worn into the hanging hole of the lock coffin, but fifteen gold luo is a bit expensive, almost two months' salary after I became an official team member. Joyce hesitated and didn't touch the necklace.

"Okay, I want fifteen gold luo. ”

After waiting for a while, and finding that the old woman had no intention of lowering the price, Joyce lamented that she still did not have the talent for bargaining.

Pulling out a bundle of banknotes and counting fifteen, Joyce handed the money to the old woman.

"Sir, you can take the necklace away. ”

After checking the banknotes' security ink and gold threads, the old woman relented.

The fine silver necklace was touched, and Joyce pulled it slightly, and the chain showed no signs of deformation or breakage.

"This fine silver chain is made of mud and wax pouring method, there are no welding marks, the bearing capacity is very good, as long as it is not intentionally damaged, it will not break. The old woman saw what Joyce was thinking, and explained to him out of breath.

"This lady, I want to rent a shop on Herb Street, I wonder if you have a good introduction?" Joyce nodded in satisfaction, and filled the box with a small cloth bag in the store.

"Maybe you can go to Damian Herb Shop 56, that poor outsider, business can't go on. The old woman thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you for your help. ”

Joyce thanked the old woman and hurried out of the jewelry store.

"This is number 74, it seems not far away. ”

Pulling forward from the jewelry store's house number, Joyce muttered and searched for the past.

"Is this it?"

Arriving at the doorway of a mansion, Joyce saw two stone turtle carvings, one of which was broken.

"The style of this house really doesn't look like the architecture of Lunsu City. Joyce thought of the outsider mentioned by the old lady in the jewelry store.

Unlike other shops, the door of the house was not opened, and even the signboard on the door was removed.

"Bell! bell!"

Joyce slammed the door of the house, which was strewn with brass nails, and waited outside.

"Here ......

It took some time for the man's response to emerge from the house.

"Whew!"

After the door bar was raised, the door of the Brass Nail Mansion was opened by a man with a face full of brown potions.

The man's face was swollen like a pig's head, and the application of the potion was even more terrifying, and it was even unrecognizable.

Joyce, who did not perceive and see, was also quite surprised to see the person who opened the door, and subconsciously took a step back, as if he was afraid that the man would have an infectious disease.

"What are you going to do?"

The man with a swollen face and a hat had two thick lips moving, and his voice was not very clear.

"I've only heard of being beaten into a pig's head before, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Joyce tried to control his expression and expression so as not to be too rude.

The man was dressed in a black suit and had a top hat on his head.

"It's kind of like a clown. ”

The man's pig-headed face at this time, wearing this outfit, made Joyce feel very funny.

"I want to rent a shop to do business, and I will be introduced here. Joyce smiled in what she thought was friendly, and explained to the man.

"You only want to rent a shop, but you still want to do business?"

The man's swollen and shiny face sneered with disdain.

Joyce couldn't help but be speechless about the man being beaten like this, but showing his arrogance at this time.

"This gentleman, it seems that something bad has happened to you. Joyce speculated.

"You don't have to worry about it. ”

The fat-headed and swollen-faced man spoke in a very impulsive tone, with a pair of small eyes that could not be opened, and he had a look of rejection towards Joyce.

"Now that the Gray Mist Domain is pervasive, the world is not very good, and there are not many people who are willing to buy property, I have the idea of renting a shop, you should talk to me. Joyce smiled and didn't give up easily.

"It's only for sale, not for rent. ”

The man was about to close the door, but saw Joyce pull out a document from his pocket.

"I haven't told you yet, I'm from MIA, and if you're in a big trouble, I can help you solve it. Joyce opened his credentials and showed them to the man.

"Of course, if you insist on selling, I only have four hundred and eighty gold luo now, and I don't know your situation here. Joyce saw the man's expression change again and again, and then expressed a little helplessness.

"Sir, I didn't know your identity just now, it's a bit rude, you can come in and have a look. The fat-headed, swollen-faced man unnaturally let open the door.

Entering the gate, Joyce saw a fairly spacious courtyard, surrounded by four stone drum piers.

The stone houses on the front and sides of the precincts have a sense of heaviness.

Passing through the medicine hall that has no objects, there is a small courtyard in the back, the house has built a long corridor and aisle, and the doors and windows are antique, and it looks like it has been some years.

The two-in, two-out house was deserted and clean, as if it had been ransacked.

"It's okay, it's nothing, at least the house hasn't been damaged. Joyce walked around the house and thought it was pretty good.

"Four hundred and eighty gold Luo, I can sell this to you. The fat-headed, swollen-faced man seemed to have made up his mind, obviously taking a fancy to Joyce's money.

"Do you still want to sell it?"

Joyce had to admit that the man's offer for two in and two out of the house was very cheap, but he had no intention of buying a home.

If it was to rent a shop, Joyce would pay a smaller price, maybe sixty or seventy gold a year would be enough, and for his situation, it was also a matter of not knowing tomorrow today.

"I'm leaving the city of Rensu. ”

The fat-headed, swollen-faced man was resolute, but he hid fear.

"Please, sir, forgive my confession, I don't know you very well, and you look like you've offended someone, would you like to tell me?" Joyce expressed surprise, not pretending.

"I have some other things to do today, you can take the title deed to the Traveler's Bar at 131 Golden Rose Street, and we'll talk about it later, or if it's not convenient, you can go there and wait for me empty-handed, and mention my name, my name is Joyce Rupert." Seeing that the man had scruples, Joyce thought about it and made arrangements.

Saying goodbye to the fat-headed and swollen-faced man, Joyce left the mansion and shook his head slightly.

"It's not ideal here, it's still too big and expensive, and it seems that there is something hidden here. Joyce thought the house might be an option, but she didn't take it too seriously.

Joyce, who rents a bungalow, only pays 20 gold when he is full of money in a year.

Although the silver necklace I just bought was fifteen gold, it had value, as far as Joyce knew, this kind of fine silver had to be made by a gold melter in the alchemy sequence, and the fine silver could carry the power of mystery, and if it was engraved with a special secret text or ancient arcane text, it would not be much worse than the guardian coat of arms.

Calculating that the time was almost up, Joyce had already returned from the street to the Mage's Tower.

Arriving in the maple leaf forest, Joyce opened the gift box, took out the lock coffin, and tried to thread the fine silver necklace through the hanging hole.

"It's quite weighty, I guess I'll get used to it as soon as I wear it. ”

Joyce hung the necklace around his neck, two knuckle-length locks almost to his chest.

"It's still inconvenient to carry so much money, and it won't let people find out any financial problems in the future, right?" The rest of the money from his trouser pocket was put into the gift box, and Joyce went out of the maple leaf forest and went to the main gate of the mage tower courtyard to wait for Yarlin.

"Bang!"

In a short time, there was a commotion on the road far from Herb Street, and two carriages came at a rapid pace.

The front is a tin action car, and the back carriage is a normal carriage.

"It doesn't seem that there are a lot of people, but the fewer people who know about this kind of thing for the time being, the better. Joyce stood up and measured.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car. ”

The iron action car stopped at the big black iron gate in the courtyard of the mage tower from far and near, and Yarlin quickly came down and shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

I saw four military intelligence personnel carrying an iron pillar with a thick bowl mouth, rushing towards the black gate in succession, and slamming the gate open in three clicks.

"Joyce, there's nothing going on in there, is there?"

Arrin arranged for two carriages to enter the courtyard before he had time to ask Joyce.

"I didn't notice anything. ”

Joyce, who hadn't been watching, nodded, although he thought that opportunity was important, but he couldn't easily let people discover his secret.
