Chapter 194: Finally Arriving in the Holy Capital (2)

Priest Veblen's gaze wandered through the small shop, and his tone was full of nostalgia for his time as a student in the Holy Port.

When people reach their twilight years, they are always accustomed to reminiscing about the past. Priest Veblen is not too young, and if he does not make a breakthrough in light magic, his lifespan will not be extended...... For the old priest, it was likely that this would be his last trip to the Holy Land, the last time he would visit the small shop where many of the old man's memories remained.

Liu Ci didn't interject, and quietly listened to the old priest's recollection: "...... Now life no longer worries about gold coins, but when it comes to shopping, there is no longer the excitement of youth. The era that belongs to us is passing, and many young geniuses have emerged on the mainland in recent years, and the next few decades will be your time.

You're the most mysterious young martial artist I've ever met, and sometimes I even have the illusion that you seem to be magical, outside of martial arts. However, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts has always been a beautiful legend in the mainland, but no one can successfully break through by cultivating both...... The greedy people have died on the way forward, and those strong who are sung by the bard have no precedent for dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. ”

The old priest's voice was not loud, but his words and deeds were the wisdom of life. After half a year of companionship, coupled with Liu Ci's previous strength in Ordolun Peak, he had long been vaguely suspicious that Liu Ci's endless scroll was made by herself. After observing for half a year, although Liu Ci's belief in God is not as devout as ordinary people, and she is not a big traitor, the old man took the opportunity to remind her.

Although Liu Ci is a little more horizontal, who is sincere to her, who is fake to her, she understands it in her heart. How can she not distinguish between good and bad, it's just that her situation is too special, if it is really a demonic and martial arts double cultivation, she thinks it is more reliable, and the only cultivation in the other world...... I really can't say it to Priest Veblen.

Liu Ci had to change the topic: "The mainland has produced a large number of talents in recent years, do you know those more famous? ”

Before the old priest could speak, an old man suddenly walked out of the shop, with his back slightly bent.

Before the old man could speak, there was an earth-shattering cough. Coughing, he pulled out a parchment scroll from the stack of shelves and threw it on the counter.

"Last month's latest version of the Bright Master List, under the age of thirty, the young masters who can be on the list, their information is on it. As long as 100 gold coins, if you want to buy it as soon as possible, it will not be printed in the near future when it is sold out! ”

Liu Ci's face was full of black lines.

The old priest Veblen said with a happy face: "Mr. Connie, it is really a pleasure to see that you are still alive!" ”

The old man, known as Mr. Connie, looked at Priest Veblen for a long time with his cloudy eyes open, and then suddenly realized, "Is that you, little Alex?" You haven't been to Douala for more than ten years, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the boys are old...... But don't think that I'll give you a discount if you pull a relationship, a hundred gold coins, and you won't bargain. ”

Mr. Connie had a determined expression, Liu Ci secretly rolled his eyes, a hundred gold coins for a master's pedigree, the price is really too bad, isn't there no piracy in Douala City and other places?

The old priest seemed to have guessed Liu Ci's thoughts, and the old man said to her solemnly: "No, not a hundred gold coins, I advise you to buy the book, Mr. Connie has always only sold fine products, and the master list he asked for a hundred gold coins is definitely worth the price." ”

Liu Ci was noncommittal, she was really not bad for money.

Signaling Samman to pay a hundred gold coins, Liu Ci picked up the book on the counter, which was not thin or thick, and did not hand it to the maid, but took it himself, which made the expressions of the two old men soothe a lot.

"Mr. Connie, I'm going to visit some old friends, do you have any good gifts?"

The Veblen priest was dazzled by the contents of the shop, and simply asked Mr. Connie, hoping that the old innkeeper would give him good advice.

Mr. Connie's cloudy eyes scanned the shelves as he recalled, "I'm still in the Holy Land, and I'm friends with you...... Probably Nishizawa and Charles, right? Charles, that little guy hasn't been to Douala for a long time, I can't give you random advice, as for Nishizawa, he has recently become obsessed with ancient magic writing, you can give him a kind of flower paper produced in other parishes, this kind of colored paper has been quite popular in the diocese of Port Santa recently, Nishizawa should like it too. ”

Mr. Connie coughed a few times and pulled a stack of colorful notes from the shelf.

Seeing the familiar patterns and textures, Liu Ci's face became quite strange. Veblen Priest was also a little embarrassed.

Liu's flower note!

There was also a rush to buy in Amster City, and Stull Garland gave a lot of money to the important people in the parish of Amster when he first started marketing. The priest of Vabelan was too old to care much about these foreign objects, but he knew that Liu Ci's carriage was loaded with a lot of new products and accompanied her to the Holy Land Port.

Unexpectedly, the flower paper sold by Liu Ci was not only popular in Emster, but also recommended by Mr. Connie in Douala City, and would be very popular in the entire Holy Land Port.

"Mr. Connie, are there any other new products?"

Seeing Priest Veblen shaking his head, Old Connie's cloudy eyes glared: "Little Alex, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, have you stayed in that remote place in Emste for a long time and forgotten my rules?" In the city of Douala, no one can question Connie's vision, and what I picked out, no one who received the gift was dissatisfied! ”

Priest Veblen smiled bitterly, "No, you misunderstood me. Mr. Connie, I forgot to introduce you to this young girl standing next to me, who not only has great strength, but God has also given her an extra good business mind. The flower note you recommended came from our remote parish of Emst, and its owner was none other than this young lady beside me. ”

Liu Ci also smiled, "The flower note can be appreciated by Mr. Connie, this is really the first good news I heard after a long journey of half a year." ”

Mr. Connie's cloudy old eyes flashed with a gleam: "These special notes were made and sold by you?" ”

Mr. Connie's gaze was too sharp, and Liu Ci's sixth sense of seeking advantage and avoiding harm made her subconsciously deny: "Veblen's praise is too much, this is a product that I cooperated with my friends, and the idea of the flower paper and the production and sales all depend on my friends, so I just provide the raw materials." ”

Mr. Connie nodded, and asked no more.

He appeared to be in poor health, coughing every time he rested, during which time he selected several items for the Veblen priests.

A bag of deep-sea gems from the waters of the Ruilan Empire, whose efficacy is still unknown, and a bow made by goblins.

When Liu Ci said that she was going to bring a gift to her sister in the convent, Mr. Connie did not recommend it: "Students in the convent, what good things have not been seen, as long as you give the flower note in your hand to your sister, it will be very useful for her interpersonal communication in the convent." ”

Gems and bows, Mr. Coney received 1,300 gold coins from Veblen Priest.

Samman was all stunned by the side. For a little maid who has not yet come into contact with the account books of Liu Ci's manor, her salary is one gold coin per month, and the gold coins needed for a bag of gems and a fairly ordinary-looking bow cannot be earned by Sang Man in a hundred continental years.

On the recommendation of the Veblen priest, Liu Ci selected a few quills that were said to be the top in the mainland...... The light feather is held in his hand, the texture is not as good as the brush, except for giving it to Rachel, Liu Ci can't think of any other use for it.

Of course, a couple of quills aren't much cheaper than anything else. Samman's face ached when he gave the money, and the little girl felt that the price of a book before was a hundred gold coins, but it was kind.

Priest Veblen asked Mr. Connie about the situation in the Holy Land Harbor, and the elder Connie looked unhappy, coughing very violently, and almost did not go directly to the guest.

Veblen Priest had no choice but to take his leave: "Mr. Connie, then let's see you next time, thank you for your recommendation, so that I don't have to worry about gifts anymore." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, when I see you, I feel that I don't have much to live, what do you want to mention next time...... This may be the last time! ”

Mr. Connie muttered, and Priest Veblen had no choice but to leave with Liu Ci.

After walking out of the street that the Holy See personnel loved to hang out, Liu Ci asked tentatively: "Who is this Mr. Connie, he doesn't look like a simple businessman." ”

Veblen Priest smiled: "Of course he is not an ordinary businessman. However, Mr. Conny's true identity has never been known in the city of Douala or in the diocese of Port Sanctuary. His shop has been open for more than 100 years, but he has never changed owners...... Some say that Mr. Connie is more than two hundred years old, and others say that he is a great sage who lives in seclusion in the city of Douala, and I am not sure what the truth is. ”

Great Sage?!

That's the existence of the Magister and the Great Sword Master. Liu Ci lowered his eyes and pondered, although everyone said that the "sage" was the strongest person in the mainland, but in the face of Mr. Connie, Liu Ci felt that he was more unfathomable than the dean of the Amster School of Magic.

The tone in which he asked about the flower notes always made her feel uncomfortable.

Maybe you're thinking too much?

Liu Ci soon followed Priest Veblen back to the inn, she did not expect her life in the parish of Port Sanctuary to be so exciting, that for a long time she did not think of the mysterious Mr. Connie at allβ€”which caused great difficulty and trouble in her later life.

After Liu Ci and Priest Veblen left, Old Connie held back his cough and pulled out a finished product with a unique pattern from the bottom of a pile of flower notes.

Graceful peony, alluring the country and the city.

Old Connie brushed the lines of the peony flower with his hand, remembering the characteristics of Liu Ci's black hair and black pupils, and his cloudy old eyes stared thoughtfully in a certain direction.

"Close early today."

Mr. Connie commanded his men to close the shop, and he himself got into a blue-painted carriage, left the city of Douala, and entered the diocese of Port, the holiest holy place on the mainland, before Liu Ci and his party.

At the same time, in the room of the inn, Liu Ci sat alone with a nonchalant attitude, and opened the parchment scroll on the desk that she had bought for a hundred gold coins.
