"I thought you knew!"

"I don't have to look here if I know." I quickly asked Nightshade to pull to the side, then retracted Nightshade and pulled Silver Snow behind a tree on the side of the road. "How do you know it's a colorful magic crystal that is pulling in there?"

"That's not easy. Just smell it! ”

"Can you smell it?"

"Can't you smell the meat?"

"Of course you can!"

"Isn't that the end of it? High-level magical creatures can eat magic crystals to accumulate power, and of course I am no exception, if I can't even smell this smell, then where can I find magic crystals? Anyway, your Isenger has a lot of magic crystals, and I just hurriedly passed through them last time, and I didn't even visit them properly. ”

"Esinger, you haven't visited yet?"

"yes!" Yin Xue nodded and said: "The last time I returned to this era with you, I went to help Bi Ling and Tianqing arrange a place to live, and that time I entered the city because I wanted to borrow Ichengh's teleportation array, but I didn't stop on the road, and I just saw a street, and after that, things continued, and I didn't officially live in Ichengar!" ”

"Damn, no wonder you're going to come here to play!" People who have visited Issinger have little interest in visiting other large cities, because of the fact that the buildings are so grand and magnificent, and the design is so ornate that anyone who has been to Issinger will not take similar buildings seriously. So people who have been to Issinger will enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers or the scenery of the small town, but they will not go to the big cities, because there is no big city that can compare with Isenger. "Silver snow? Otherwise, I'll take you back to visit Isengard, and you won't have to play here. ”

"No, I'm going to see enough of it now that I'm here. That's right. You said this place was called France, right? ”

"This is Paris, the capital of France."

"That's right."

"What's right?"

"Rose said that this is the world's popular clothing distribution center, and I am going to buy clothes."

"Isn't it?" What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot? It's called shooting yourself in the foot. When I first returned to the flood era through the time channel, I used all kinds of exquisite costumes to lure a large number of female high-level NPCs back, although Yinxue didn't come back with me because of the costumes. But this is also one of the reasons, now that she wants to buy clothes, I don't even have a chance to quibble!

"You promised us!" Yinxue saw that I didn't seem to want to go, and started to get angry again.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go! But you can't just follow you for everything, I have a few conditions that you must agree to. ”

Yin Xue nodded hurriedly: "Well, as long as you can go shopping for clothes and visit, there are no problems with hundreds of conditions." ”

"Not so much, two will do. First, I'm going to investigate these Colorful Magic Crystals by the way. ”

"You want these Colorful Magic Crystals? I'll just grab it for you. ”

"Stop." Yinxue is a creature that came back from the flood era, and its values are different from ours. In her opinion, it is a matter of course that the strong possess the things of the weak. Anyway, the magic crystal is not made by anyone, it is a natural product, and whoever is strong and grabs it is whoever is strong. But I can't be so reckless. Our guild will develop in France in the future, and this kind of stealing things will make our reputation stink! Robbery doesn't have to be done by yourself, it's in the interest of our guild to find some people to remediate.

Yinxue saw that I organized her, and she also remembered that I had told her about the values of this era, and she was also smarter, and immediately understood what I meant. "Since you can't rob it openly. So how do you want to get these magic crystals? ”

"There are many ways to do this, but it depends on the situation, and I will always look into it in passing. You just have to get messed with me. ”

"No problem, I can help you get in your way. You should know that no one will know how many people I killed. ”

Yinxue is not a big deal, with her strength, creatures below level 7,000 can be done in one move, and the highest among the players is only level 999, and in front of her, it is definitely all gone.

"Anyway, I'll command in a while, don't move if you don't let you move, I will naturally call you if you need help. My second condition is that you don't get into trouble when you go shopping for clothes, if someone gets you in trouble. You just bear with it for a while and let me take care of it. ”

Yin Xue thought for a moment, and then said, "What if someone teases me like that guy just now?" ”

"With your skills, people can't even touch your clothes, so it's not a big deal, right?"

"Okay, then I'll try to hold back."

"That's pretty much it." I nodded and said, "Okay, now come with me, I'll take you to the road." ”

Although it is not as good as Isenger, Paris is a world famous city after all, not to mention that the game has also been beautified, which is less modern but has a lot of harmony. Just like in real life, Paris is also a clothing hub in the game, and it specializes in selling useless clothes. In Europe, if you want to choose a gear for fighting monsters, it's best to check out the Czech Republic or Berlin, the capital of Germany. You can buy the most beautiful fashions in Paris, but if you wear them to fight monsters, you probably have to die ten or ten dead. Fashion is designed for one purpose - to look good, and all other issues are sidelined.

Unlike most cities in the world in the game, Paris doesn't have walls, but it does have gates. There are nine Arc des Triomphes in Paris in the game, only one of which is modeled after the real-life monument, and the other eight are divided into eight directions of the city, which are the eight main gates of Paris. Eight main roads leading to the city centre pass under these eight gates and meet under the Eiffel Tower in the heart of the city, which together form the main transport network of Paris. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't go through these eight gates. Paris has no walls, there are roads everywhere, and happiness is the same wherever you enter.

Yinxue wants to visit, so naturally I can't take her to the path, but Yinxue is not very interested in the Arc de Triomphe. Although the triumphal arch in the game is much larger than the real guy in reality, Yinxue has been to Isinger, although it is only a cursory trip, but the overall style of Ichenegger's building is there, compared with the super gate of Isenger with two directions and ten lanes, the triumphal arch does not feel like a two-way six-lane one. In fact, width is secondary. The most important thing is that the difference in height between the Arc de Triomphe and Esinger is too much. Issinger's first wall was 500 meters high, and when you stand under the wall and look up, you will feel that the wall has been inserted into the clouds, and although the Arc de Triomphe is not short, it just feels tall. It's not that towering into the sky.

After the Arc de Triomphe, it is a normal building. In the game, these five, six, or even ten-story buildings can already make most cities feel awe, but after staying in Isenger for a long time, it feels like looking at a miniature. The first floor of Issinger's building is more than eight meters high, and the upper floor will only return to its normal height, and all buildings are above ten floors, if placed together with the buildings here, it is basically the difference between the Titans and the Dwarfs.

However, it's not all about Paris that isn't worth seeing, at least the Eiffel Tower is spectacular. The Eiffel Tower in the game is more than a little taller than it is in reality. The height of more than 2,500 meters is almost one-third of the land of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda, although it is still far away, but it is definitely a super-large building that no other city has.

Yinxue was in no hurry to see the Eiffel Tower. Instead, he frantically pounced on the fashion stores on the street. There are very few restaurants in these five- and six-story buildings on the streets of Paris, they are basically large and small clothing buildings, and the interior uses hyperspace, which is much larger than it seems from the outside. However, "Zero" has one thing that has always been praised by the majority of male compatriots, that is, it does not consume stamina points in the mall. Many men are afraid to go shopping with girls. And see this as a more physically consuming activity than a marathon, and visiting the mall in "Zero" does not consume stamina, and you will not get tired of shopping again. Other than that. In order to make the majority of men not feel too hard when waiting for girls to try on clothes, any player can apply to play some small games in the mall, and the system will help you open a small window to move with you, which is absolutely convenient and practical. Of course, the system has also made some improvements for girls, such as the fitting system. There is no need for a fitting room here, and the system can automatically generate a full-scale model of the clothes you have changed, and you can surround yourself to see if it fits.

Although Yinxue is an NPC, the merchant doesn't care who the buyer is. As long as you want to buy and pay for it, the merchant will only treat you as God. Let Yinxue go in and pick out clothes, and I stood at the window or doorway and observed the carriages coming and going. Judging from their number and frequent trips, the number of colorful magic crystals transported by these guys was quite large.

"Hey, what do you think of this?" Yinxue shouted for a long time and found that I didn't hear it at all, so she ran over and grabbed me a little angrily: "What are you looking at?" ”

I frowned and said, "Don't you think the situation is a little strange? ”

"Strange?" Yin Xue looked down at herself. "Is it weird for me to wear this?"

"I'm not talking about your clothes. I mean the carriages. I've been observing for a long time, and the number of things these cars seem to be transporting back and forth has not changed, which means that they are not transporting them outside the city at all, nor are they transporting them to the city, but they are pulling goods around ***. Isn't that strange? ”

"You say they? It's weird indeed. But I'm just better at fighting, so don't look for me if you want to have a problem. I'll choose the clothes, and you can study it yourself. After Yinxue finished speaking, she jumped back in front of the clothing rack and began to try on clothes frantically. I heard that a woman's wardrobe is always missing one piece of clothing, and it seems that this range should be expanded to all female humanoids, and the lack of one is not one, but a mall.

I continued to observe the carriage on the road, and deliberately sent a few ghost bugs over to let the carriage press. The ghost worm can diamond itself, and of course the carriage cannot be crushed under this hardness, but I can judge the weight change of the carriage by this. It turned out that they did not unload, and the weight of the wagons was basically the same as when they went back and forth.

I was thinking about the reason when Yinxue suddenly called me again. "Don't look at it, let's go to the next store."

******

"Oh." I turned to look at a few pieces of clothing on the shelf, then leaned over to the cash register and started digging into the cashier. "These are what you're going to buy, right? I'll pay. ”

"No, I don't want that."

"And what about what you bought? Did you pick up so many days and didn't buy a single one? ”

"No! I mean, don't do these few, buy all the rest. ”

Rumble. I slipped off the cash register and onto the floor. "What did you say?"

Yinxue stood in front of the hanger and said with a smile: "From here, all the way to that side, these are what I want to buy, and the ones that I don't want have been picked out and thrown there." ”

I took a look at the hanger that was longer than the train platform. Then he swallowed his saliva and turned around with a smile and asked the manager who had been standing aside for a long time: "Can I buy so much as a wholesale price?" ”

"No problem." The manager's mouth was almost behind his ears. I said how did I keep seeing this guy with the manager's badge walking around us, and Yinxue actually bought so many clothes after a long time. With such a big customer, he should get out if he doesn't show up again.

The manager gave me a series of offers at lightning speed, and finally gave me a diamond VIP card. Claim that you can enjoy a 60% discount next time with the card. Yinxue is not interested in any of this, she only cares about her clothes. She didn't need the help of the salesperson at all, she packed up all the clothes and stuffed them into the carry-on storage space. I reluctantly swiped the magic card on the trading machine, fortunately there is also a banking system in the game, otherwise the money spent by Yinxue to buy these clothes, even with crystal coins, would have to be loaded into several boxes, after all, she emptied the building of other people. I keep reassuring myself that the maintenance cost of advanced NPCs is relatively high, which is also one of the maintenance costs.

After leaving the building, Yin Xue has been looking more excited. Now no one would have thought that she was just an NPC, because her outfit was more exaggerated than that of fashionable female gamers. No one thought that an NPC would dress like this.

"Let's go over there." Yinxue pointed to a clothing store not far away and was about to rush in again, so frightened that I quickly grabbed her.

"Stop. Let's talk about it first, it's okay to buy clothes. Reservations are not available. ”

"Don't worry! I've already bought most of the styles just now, and I only need to buy a few special styles in each store in the future. Oh yes, do you know where cosmetics are sold here? I've heard that the perfume here is famous. ”

"Is Miss going to buy perfume?" A French player leaned in from the side. "I recommend you go to Ilena over there, there are a lot of makeup items over there."

"Oh, thank you." Yinxue didn't give me a chance to speak at all. Pull me and run. I could still hold her if she were an ordinary girl, but unfortunately she is not an ordinary girl, and I feel like I am being pulled by a locomotive. Whether I cooperate or not, it doesn't affect her speed at all.

I was dragged into the cosmetics store. The décor is quite elegant, but in my opinion they mean that the goods here will be expensive. I've heard a long time ago that French cosmetics cost tens of thousands of dollars a bottle, and they are probably not too cheap in the game. Women's purchase of cosmetics is as uncontrollable as a child's purchase of toys, they only care about what they want to buy, as for the price of this thing, that is a matter of consideration later.

I have to admit that the owner of this shop is very discerning. The middle-aged woman first glanced at the clothing on Yinxue's body, and then found the equipment on my body, and at that moment I saw a flash of light in her eyes, and then she pounced on Yinxue with 120,000 enthusiasm. Why not pounce on me? Does this need to be asked? Men come here for only one thing - pay. The real ones to serve are the ladies.

Yin Xue basically doesn't understand anything except that she knows that makeup can beautify herself. The shopkeeper figured out Yinxue's situation in a few sentences, and then began to help Yinxue change her appearance on the spot. What makes me very depressed is that this store not only sells cosmetics but also does image design, so they not only have cosmetics here, but also distributors and various costume artists who can change your look on the spot. Yinxue was almost immediately addicted to it, and more than a dozen staff members were busy around her.

The shrewd store manager didn't forget about me, and ordered the doorman to bring me a sofa, and brought me all kinds of drinks, and there were a bunch of magazines that men liked, obviously prepared. Anyway, I can't leave if Yinxue doesn't have a good time, so I just sit down and continue to study those transporters. During this period, I tried to send the ghost beetle to the car to scout, but the other party welded the car body like a watertight box, and couldn't find a hole, and also drew a magic barrier array inside, and even the ghost beetle's infiltration skill did not work.

Although the other party sealed the car very tightly, I knew that there was something that must not be tightly sealed. Hook your finger at the doorman next to me, and the other party immediately ran to my side and waited for my orders. "Don't be nervous, you sit down first, I'm bored waiting, and I'll talk to you casually."

"Oh." This doorman is just an ordinary NPC employee, and I have a super high NPC affinity and mental coercion, so he is both adored and afraid of me, and seems to be very deferential.

After he moved a stool and sat down, I casually asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

"It's been more than half a year."

I nodded. "Then you just stand in the doorway and look at the street every day?"

"Most of the time, yes, but sometimes I have to deliver to the store manager."

"Surely you're familiar with this street?"

"Of course, I spend most of my day looking at the streets!"

We were talking about it just as a carriage passed by. I pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, I've seen a lot of these carriages along the way, do you know who they belong to?" ”

"Oh, you mean these carriages? They are the transport fleet of the Silo Chamber of Commerce. I've been running around for the last few days, and I don't know what I'm hauling. ”

"Has this been the case before?"

"That's not true. Their chamber of commerce is not a big chamber of commerce, and they don't have a lot of business, and they have never transported such a large amount of goods. ”

"That's weird! I don't know what they need to transport the land! I pretended to be talking to myself.

The doorman immediately continued: "Their chamber of commerce is actually a mine, mainly dealing in iron ore. As you may know, there aren't many large iron ore mines near Paris, and they don't have a lot of demand for steel, so their business hasn't been very good. Recently, I think there may have been a discovery of large veins. But that doesn't seem right. ”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Steel is mined and smelted outside the city, and buyers place orders at the sales points in the city before they are shipped into the city, but I haven't heard of any major projects recently! And then look at the horses pulling the carts. There was obviously not much on the cart, and if it was a cart full of steel, the horses should not have walked so easily. ”

"So you don't know what they're pulling?"

"I don't know."

I pondered for a moment. Then he asked, "Do you know where the office of this Silo Chamber of Commerce is?" ”

"The Silo Chamber of Commerce has only one headquarters in Paris, and its offices are all small cities."

"Headquarters will do the same."

"It's not a good place to find. But if you want to go, you might as well go with the convoy. ”

Dizzy, I actually forgot such a simple thing. Of course, their convoy will go to them, and following the convoy will naturally lead to the headquarters. I rewarded the doorman with a crystal coin. Then let him go back to his post. It seems that there is still some time left for the Silver Snow styling options, and I can't wait that long. Stood up and walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "You play with yours here first." I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back later. ”

"Then you have to hurry. What a shame it would be if I ended it early and didn't have the money to pay the bill? ”

I wanted to give her the crystal card, but after thinking about it, I still didn't give it, for fear that she would buy the whole street home. "If I don't come back, you can pick slowly, as long as you don't make it look like you're leaving, they won't ask you for money."

"Okay then."

After calming Yinxue, I left the shop first, and another carriage happened to pass by outside, but I didn't follow immediately. Instead, I found a place where no one was around, changed into a set of ordinary equipment, and followed. The magic dragon suit is too eye-catching, and it's okay to say in the wild, but trying to wear it to track in the city is basically in vain.

The carriage couldn't get fast in the city, and I followed it slowly as if I were shopping. Now that I've changed to a normal set of equipment, I don't think it will attract people's attention.

After not going far, the carriage left the avenue and turned into a side street, and I quickly followed. Although there are fewer people here, the main road is narrower and more crowded than the main road. Unlike the large shops on both sides of the main road, the shops here are mostly small shops that sell a wide variety of things. I didn't bother to go shopping, I just hung the carriage from afar.

As the carriage reached the middle of the alley, it suddenly made another turn into an alley that was only a little wider than the carriage, and a similar carriage was coming out of another alley not far from the side. At the mouth of the alley where the carriage entered, an arrow could be seen pointing inward, and on the arrow was written the name of the Silo Chamber of Commerce and the main project. Looks like that's the target location.

I didn't enter the alley right away, but walked around the neighborhood and inquired about the situation of this Siluo Chamber of Commerce by the way. Due to their proximity, the people here obviously knew more about the Siluo Chamber of Commerce than the doorman, but they said that the situation was about the same.

The Silo Chamber of Commerce is a small chamber of commerce, and its main business project is an iron mine, and it basically sells ore. They also have their own smelting equipment, but the technology is not very high, and the smelted is only the basic iron ingot, and there is no way to process and produce steel. In addition to this iron mine, they also deal in asbestos and sell white magic crystals in small quantities. Based on this information, I have been able to roughly analyze the situation.

This Silo Chamber of Commerce has white magic crystals for sale, although the amount is not large, but at least it shows that they have magic crystal mines. Since there is a magic crystal mine, it is understandable to dig out the colorful magic crystal. However, the only thing I don't understand is why the hell are they pulling the colorful magic crystals around? Supposedly, normal people would lock such valuables in a safe and would not want to let them appear on the street. No matter how strong those carriages are, people can't even rob you. Moreover, since we can discover the colorful magic crystal inside, it doesn't mean that others can't find it. Thinking of the value of this thing, even some large guilds may be blatantly robbing without regard for face, after all, even I was attracted to it, and it is estimated that there will be no one with a greater appetite than me.

Walking around the streets with these things is clearly a deliberate attempt to attract people who want these things here. But I wonder that it seems illogical for the weak Silo Chamber of Commerce to do this. If they are a powerful chamber of commerce, it is possible to attract customers to come, but they are so weak that even if they are robbed, there is no way to do it, then such a reason obviously does not make sense. Unless...... It occurred to me that an unlikely, but now plausible explanation.
