Built on a hill, Iron Snow City is a port city, but most of the city is located in caves on the mountainside, and only a pier and a commercial area near the pier are exposed to the cave.

"Kettles, torches, daggers, ropes, helmets, ......"

In front of a grocery store in the business district, Green is holding a list and counting the items he needs to buy.

"Hey ~ guest, if you're going to the Underworld, I recommend you bring this." The halfling owner of the grocery store pulls out a magic device from behind the counter that resembles an incense burner.

"What is this?" Green looked curiously at the incense burner in the hands of the halfling boss.

The incense burner is about the size of a small rice cooker, with a mechanical metal casing with a one-piece lid and a magic crystal at the bottom that needs to be infused with magic.

"This is the 'Fireless Magic Cauldron', which can be used to cook rice after injecting magic power, and is a must-have when traveling underground!"

Green blinked: "It's really a rice cooker?" ”

"Deian, Faenbao?" The halfling boss looked dazed, "What Chinese dialect is this?" ”

Green reached out and took the fireless cauldron from the halfling boss's hand, and looked at it over and over.

"Be careful!" The halfling boss exclaimed, "This is very expensive!" ”

"Hmm~ How much is this 'fireless magic cauldron'?" Green looked calm.

Hearing that Green was interested, the halfling boss instantly came to his senses: "This 'Fireless Magic Cauldron' is a specialty of the Northboy Kingdom. Since the fall of the Kingdom of Northbod, the 'Fireless Cauldron' has been discontinued. It is very likely that this 'fireless magic cauldron' in my hand is the only 'fireless magic cauldron' in the world, so the price may not be cheap. ”

"It's not very technical. It's just two layers of skin on the inside and outside of a heated magic array. "I'm a magician, and I don't mind buying materials to make my own if your price is too outrageous." ”

“…… One hundred gold coins! You have to know that this thing is no longer produced! And look at this, it is made of sterling silver, it is definitely worth the money! ”

"Little No. 5 magic guide crystal, the shell is an ordinary iron sheet coated with an anti-rust layer, and the middle is wrapped with porcelain, and the inside is really pure silver." Green carefully observed the magic device in his hand, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, "Hmm...... All right. One hundred gold coins, this price is indeed not too outrageous. Assuming it works, of course. ”

"Oh! Of course it works. The halfling boss smiled, "If you don't believe me, we can cook something." ”

The halfling boss poured a glass of water into the fireless cauldron, and Green poured magic from the magic crystal below. It didn't take long for the water inside to boil.

"Hmm~ something good."

Green happily paid the bill with the Magic Crystal.

Green stuffed the "magic rice cooker" he bought into his backpack: "Are there any other useful props?" ”

"This! A must-have for underground trips! The halfling boss pulled out a pickaxe.

Greene: "...... Boss, I'm just going to go to the Flame Throne, not to mine underground. ”

"Oh, guest, you're underestimating the underworld. The underground roads are not so stable, and from time to time caves will collapse and block the roads. You wouldn't have gone far without this thing. ”

"Hmm...... One of these things in the team is enough. We got a dwarven guide, and I guess the dwarven guide should bring this with him. ”

"Guide? Where did you recruit your guides? The halfling boss couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. The person in charge of recruiting the guide was my companion. ”

"Hmm...... If you're looking for a guide, it's best to look for one at the Chamber of Commerce. The idle dwarves in the city are basically gangsters. ”

"Bastard?" Green was stunned for a moment, "There are gangsters among the dwarves?" ”

"Of course!" The halfling boss said scoffing, "Don't let those ridiculous racial labels fool you." ”

"Hmm...... Thanks for the reminder, we'll take note. ”

"Alright, let's get down to business. This, illuminated cane. The halfling boss pulled out a walking stick, "The torch is too easy to extinguish. If humans want to go to the underground world, it is more reliable to light the cane. ”

"Torches can detect poisonous gases and serve as an early warning in harsh environments." Green had no interest in the Staff of Light.

"Oh~ But what if you encounter an environment where you can't use torches? For example, underwater, such as some small caves that humans cannot enter, or for example, torches falling to the ground during battle. With this, there is no place you can't illuminate, and even in the event of a fight, just throw it on the ground and you don't have to worry about it going out suddenly. ”

"Oh, I really don't need this. We all have dark vision, so it doesn't matter if there's no light. ”

"Hmm...... All right. If you have dark vision, you really don't need it. ”

At the suggestion of the halfling owner, Green quickly bought all the tools he needed for his underground journey, and then returned to the tavern.

"Mr. Dharabun, Bandbedib Dobiruon, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Inside the tavern, Rhea, Queen of Vengeance, greeted Green.

"What's the matter?" Green blinked, glancing at the empty tavern. Aside from the gloomy tavernkeeper, Green saw no other person to call "us".

"My companion has returned, and I want to take you to meet my companion."

"Where are they?" Green glanced at the empty tavern, "Why didn't I see that?" ”

"Oh, they're not here, they're waiting for us at another tavern."

"Another tavern?" Green blinked, "Why?" Isn't this tavern okay? ”

"The price of drinks in this tavern is too expensive." Queen Rhea paused, "Although the price of the house and food is quite affordable, the price of alcohol is much higher than that of other taverns. ”

Hearing Queen Rhea's words, the tavern owner, who was originally sitting in the bar with a blank face, jumped up instantly.

"Wait a minute!" The dwarven boss flipped out of the bar like a monkey and rushed in front of Queen Rhea, "Why do you say that the price of drinks is higher than other taverns!?" ”

Queen Rhea: "...... Please don't care. Because one of my friends was an alcoholic who drank a lot, so they chose a tavern with a cheaper price. ”

"Nope! That's not the point! The dwarven boss said angrily, "Where's the tavern you're talking about that cheaper than mine?" ”

Queen Rhea looked at the dwarven boss strangely: "It's the tavern on the docks called the House of the Blue Sea." ”

"I (beep-) his gavel! I said that no one has been coming to the store lately. said that the price would not change, but as a result, there was a mallet to reduce the price without authorization!? The dwarven boss rushed out in a rage, not even caring about his own shop.

Grimm watched the dwarf leave the house angrily: "Is this okay?" He looked angry. ”

"It's just a dog-eat-dog between some businessmen, don't bother with it. Come with me and I'll introduce you to my teammates. ”
