Searching for the direction of his memory and impressions, Urs took Thea on a detour and then to another part of the bazaar that was quieter and cleaner than before, where the stalls were no longer in the open air, but in the interior shops of all sizes that lined the streets.

After following Urs to this area of the market, Thea carefully observed the customers around her, and soon noticed that the people who came to these shops were obviously a little different from ordinary citizens, and from their clothing and behavior it seemed that most of them were children of wealthy families, or a small number of merchants who had traveled here to buy supplies, and soon saw a sign in front of a shop that was not large, and a sign reading "Tears of the Water Fairy" hung above her eyes.

"Water Fairy Tears?" Thea looked up and read the name of the store.

"It's just a gimmick for a jewelry merchant, don't worry too much about it." Ulstia explained that the water goblins were indeed one of the most beautiful creatures in Castaño, and it was rumored that the teardrops from their eyes would turn into pearls before they hit the ground, like mermaids from fairy tales.

But this is just a rumor, and besides, the secular merchants of the human realm have little chance of catching them, but some evil mages who are engaged in magical research have the ability to capture water elves and store them as magic materials in their mage towers.

"Anyway, how about going in and seeing?" After a casual explanation, the young man looked back into the girl's eyes and further proposed,

"Hmm." The silver-haired wolf-eared girl also looked at him, nodding with a slight shyness on her face.

So next, Urs took Thea to push open the main entrance of the store and walked into the shop, and the wind chimes hanging behind the door immediately played a series of ripples like "jingle bells", which made the shopkeeper who was resting on an upholstered chair immediately wake up from his nap, and found two customers patronizing his shop in the direction of the store's door, and hurriedly got up from the chair to meet the two people who walked into the store:

"Oh, welcome, two distinguished guests. I'm the owner here, and I have the most beautiful necklaces and the most beautiful rings, as well as a lot of precious stones. You can go this way and see if there's anything that catches your eye. ”

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to the two of them like a polite gentleman, and spread out one hand to make a gesture of "please" to the two of them towards a transparent glass cabinet.

The special brand pattern on the side of the young man's neck and the two white wolf ears on the girl's silver hair are indisputable minus points in the eyes of ordinary people, but the shopkeeper who is a merchant cares most about not the appearance of the customer, but naturally the metal collision in the money bag on their waist when they walk.

The owner of the "Water Fairy Tears", who runs a jewelry business, is even more sensitive to the slight sound of money shaking in a money bag than a beggar in a slum.

At the store's warm invitation, Urs and Thea quickly walked to the edge of the glass cabinet, and saw that all kinds of colorful gems were displayed under the glass partition of the cabinet, and those beautiful stones with smooth appearance also reflected different brilliance under the light of the ceiling, which immediately attracted Xia's curious amber eyes.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the wolf-eared girl has come to the jewelry store.

In the past, she spent her life in the Northlands between the Church's temple and the lord's castle court, spending most of her time studying divine arts, reciting religious scriptures, assisting other local priests in organizing and conducting prayer ceremonies, and helping to heal people suffering from injuries and illnesses as a magic caster...... And so on and so forth.

She said to herself, these stones are so beautiful......

Urs stood next to him, quietly watching Thea caress the glass surface of the cabinet with both hands, looking straight at the various colored gems under the cabinet, thinking that this kind of Thea felt very cute, and then casually asked her, "Is there any one you particularly like?" ”

The owner of the shop rubbed his hands together and waited not far away, thinking that the young man's question was so clever that he simply asked his own heart.

You know, the gems he seemed to recommend to Urs and Thea at random were worth a lot.

Urs's question made Thea suddenly come back to her senses, then stood up straight as if she had encountered a problem, gently put her hand back in front of the white robe she was wearing, and her eyes like amber looked down seriously and blinked.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be in deep thought for a while, Urs couldn't help but smile, thinking that girls were indeed born with little resistance to shiny things, and in this regard, their characteristics were quite similar to dragons who were also keen on collecting treasures.

The girl's answer was slow to come out of her mouth, but fortunately, the owner of the jewelry store was an old fritter who had been in business for many years, and he was also experienced in the business field, and he had seen a lot of customers.

Thinking of this, he walked slowly to Urs and Xia, seized the opportunity to roll his eyes, then clenched his fist in front of his mouth to clear his throat, and put on a grinning expression and proposed to the two who were attracted by him: "If this young lady can't decide, why don't you make a small recommendation for the two of you again?" ”

"Tell me about it." Urs raised his eyebrows at the shopkeeper, thinking that he at least knew the goods with the memories of his previous life anyway, and he didn't have to worry about the possibility of being slaughtered.

However, Xia was stunned at this time, and suddenly remembered the original intention of coming here with the young man, so she quickly waved her hand and said to the shopkeeper: "No, no need, I have already decided." ”

"Oh?" The shopkeeper opened his mouth in surprise.

"I want to buy a pair of silver rings."

"Silver ring?"

"Yes, silver rings, as long as they are pure silver." The girl nodded firmly, "So, is there a silver ring here?" ”

"Uh...... Of course, the products of our store will not disappoint you, respectful and beautiful lady. The shopkeeper said to Thea with a smile on his face, but the enthusiasm in that smile was clearly a little colder than it had been at first.

He thought the girl would take a fancy to one of those gems.

But the guest's request is God's will.

A few minutes later, the shopkeeper, who had lost his enthusiasm, took two pairs of silver rings at Thea's request, handed them to the maiden, and took the money from Urs.

The shopkeeper didn't make much money from the first batch of goods he sold today, after all, the two rings he sold to Thea didn't have any carved patterns except for sterling silver, and there was not a single diamond set on them.

It was just two rings of sterling silver.

But Thea was very happy about it.

The silver-haired wolf-eared girl held the two pairs of silver rings in her palm and looked at them for a moment, then carefully slipped one of them onto her finger before turning the other and handing it to Urs.

"This one is mine?" The young man watched the girl's actions and raised his finger to point at himself.

"Well, that's right." The girl nodded happily in acknowledgement.

"Then may I ask one more question, what is the meaning of this ring given to me?"

Of course, he wanted to ask more directly, after all, giving one of the pairs of rings to the opposite sex had a special meaning in the real world in which he lived in his previous life.

Although that meaning is usually achieved by a man giving a ring to a woman.

He looked into the girl's eyes with the expectation in his heart, and reached out to take the little thing that had been handed to him by the girl's hand, and then heard the latter's sincere reply: "Because of this, I can perform 'Guardian Others' for you." ”

“…… Ha? ”

Urs was stunned.

ShieldOther is a 2-ring Priest Spell that creates a psychic link between himself and the recipient, allowing him to share half of the health damage taken by the recipient, but requires two pairs of silver rings to be used as the necessary equipment to perform the magic.

Thea's answer was a little unexpected.

He then blinked his eyes dumbfoundedly, and after carefully thinking about the specific effect of that magic technique, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but sneer: "The person who should be protected is you, don't do it the other way." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the ear on the top of the girl's head, trying to hide the small warmth in his heart.

The silver-haired wolf-eared girl seemed to be prepared. She then flashed to the side with her swift steps, buried her head in dodging the young man's ill-intentioned hand, and slipped away while not forgetting to turn around and stick out her tongue mischievously at the young man who failed to succeed in the "conspiracy": "Hmph, stupid Urs, this time I have already seen through your crooked brain, slightly~"

Then, she held up the silver ring that had been worn to her finger and showed it to Urs, giggling and running to the door of the shop, trying to slip away before our protagonist could react, but the main entrance of the store was suddenly pushed open from the outside again.

Result –

"Huh?!"

"Ouch, it hurts!"

The wolf-eared girl, who was rarely lively, immediately collided with the man who was about to come in from outside the store.

The words of different timbres between the two little girls then began to apologize to each other, and the words came and went—

"yes, I'm sorry, I should have watched the road!"

"No, it's okay, besides, I'm the one who should apologize!"

"Sorry ......"

"Sorry......"
