Avi and Xiaomi tentatively let Avi go to the White Orphanage to investigate, and Xiaomi will provide some relevant information, and then wait until next weekend to plan how to infiltrate the orphanage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Michelle told Avi that on weekends, many of the gardeners and guards who work at the orphanage go home to rest, and those two days are the best time to dive.

After reaching a consensus, the two also unconsciously walked in front of the small market.

This small bazaar on the outskirts of Mallote is known to locals as it only lasts for a few days a month and is inhabited mostly by tourist traders and travelers who do not intend to enter Mallot. There are also people from other villages and towns who sell their wares here, and although the prices are lower than in Mallotne, there are no rules and regulations that restrict them from selling their goods.

Xiaomi told Avi that this place can also be called a "black market", and that there may be some items in it that are prohibited from being sold in the kingdom.

"Contraband?" Avi had never heard of this word in the Oguna Empire, as if there was nothing to prohibit in the Oguna Empire, and the things that could appear in the public eye were all regular items.

"Yes, don't you know that the kingdom of Sarins is flanked by the sea to the west and south?"

"I know this, but what does this have to do with contraband?"

Millet shook her head, "A ten-year-old like me knows that there are some small islands in the sea in the southwest of the continent, where some alien races and pirates live, but there are also some mainlanders, who often bring some rare treasures from farther away, and those things have been classified as contraband by the Kingdom of Salins because they are extremely rare. Michelle was right, and Avi had never heard of an island in the vast sea southwest of the continent.

In Avi's mind, the mainland is an independent land, and the Sunrise High principle is a large island, if there are some small islands in the southwest of the Kingdom of Salins, then maybe there are other continents behind these small islands. Such fantasies have long appeared in Miranda's mouth, and the other party once told Avi that this world is not so narrow, and there is a wider sky outside.

"So, what are those contraband?"

"It's something you can't see in the mainland, I occasionally come here to see it, but those things are frighteningly expensive!" Xiaomi took Avi into the wandering bazaar, where the merchants were very vigilant, and every stranger who walked into the bazaar would be stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes.

Avi saw a number of human skulls on a wooden table in a shop, and in the holes in the skulls there were small insects from time to time. The little worms came out of the black holes and then back as if the human skull were their home.

There was a shop selling bottles of unknown potions, those bottles made of glass could make everyone see the color of the potion, and the different colors reminded Avi of the potion given to him by the strange doctor George, but until now, Avi had not had the opportunity to try to use the potion, and he didn't know what it was for.

Under Xiaomi's questioning, the store told Avi and Michelle that these potions can make people immortal after drinking, but they must find the potion that suits them, otherwise they will be poisoned!

"Isn't this a deception? it's all poison, isn't it?" Avi's first instinct was that it was just a hoax on the part of the store.

"Hehe, boy, don't say that, you don't believe it, but this is the truth, these potions of mine are the supreme elixir of immortality!" The shopkeeper didn't seem to mind Avi's words, and he didn't send the two away, just sat on the chair and looked at Avi and Xiaomi with a sneer.

Avi took out the bottle of potion given to him by the strange doctor George from his arms, "Then you can see if my bottle of potion can make people immortal?"

The shopkeeper first observed the color of the potion, then took the potion with one hand, slowly opened the lid, and sniffed it with his nose, "Wow! This is a good thing!" The shopkeeper's expression as if he had a treasure made both Avi and Xiaomi surprised, and the shopkeeper sniffed it several times before carefully plugging the lid on, "Boy, you can make a price, how much does this bottle of potion cost?"

Avi immediately snatched back the potion that the strange doctor George had given him, although he didn't know what this disgusting potion was for, but the other party couldn't have it like this, "I don't sell it!

The shopkeeper didn't give up, "Sell it to me! You don't know what this potion is for! By the way, who gave it to you?"

Avi didn't explain, he just wanted to know what the potion was for. After all, when he left the City of Honor, the strange doctor George once stuffed this thing to himself, saying that it was a potion that could make the unconscious Captain Andre drink.

"Let me tell you this, it's actually not that hard to extract, but it's mixed with some other liquids that make it a magical potion," the shopkeeper leaned over mysteriously, and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, there's brains in there, but they don't have to be human brains, boy, have you tried the taste of brains?"

Such a disgusting question made Xiaomi almost vomit her breakfast, and even Avi immediately felt sick to her stomach at the thought of human brains. Ignoring the shopkeeper's retention, the two continued to walk deeper into the market.

"How can you have such a thing!" asked Michelle, who had walked away, to Avi.

"This is a weird doctor who gave it to me, saying it was for people who are unconscious, and I don't know what's in it!"

"Anyway, I think it's something harmful, so you might as well throw it away!"

If you want to throw it away, it is better to sell it directly for a few dollars, Avi thought about it, or wait until someone is unconscious in the future, and then feed this bottle of medicine to the other party to drink, anyway, he will not drink it.

After coming out of the bazaar, the two did not buy anything, because there were some things that even Xiaomi could not name. One thing that caught Avi's attention was that the shopkeeper, a traveling merchant who specialized in powder, introduced Avi to a pink powder that could make people strong and energetic in a short period of time if they ate it, but the powder also had side effects. The store didn't tell Avi what the side effects were, but Millet had already seen Avi's curiosity, and she secretly took a small bottle while the store wasn't looking—and another bottle of black powder.

The bottle of black powder is not exactly black, but also has some white and dark yellow powders mixed in. The two of them sniffed separately, and found that the pink powder had no taste, but the smell of the black powder had an indescribable fragrance, but it was not exactly a fragrance.

The shopkeeper didn't explain what it was, it was just something that Michelle had taken away, and Millet told Avi that he wanted Avi to go back and study these things brought from beyond the sea, maybe it would be helpful to rescue Avi.

By the time the two returned from the wandering bazaar, the big-nosed fan was gone, leaving only the red-haired girl sitting alone on a long cloth, enjoying the cool breeze and snacks alone.

"What about Fan and the others?" asked Avi, looking at a leisurely Felisty.

"Fan seems to have gone fishing, and they're on the side of that river," Felisty picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Avi, "Would you like to try it, this little sister is awesome!"

"Yes?!Thank you sister for the compliment!" Xiaomi sat down immediately after being praised and chatted with Felisty. Avi knew that Felistie was very communicative, and he couldn't interject here anyway, so he should go to Fan.

Sure enough, Fan was sitting by the river, fishing with a fishing rod, and Evan and Stitch were beside him. Everyone was engrossed in fishing, Avi looked at everyone's baskets, Van and Stitch only had one, while Evan had already caught eight plump fresh fish, and four corals.

"It's really uncomfortable to be bored. When Fan saw Avi, he couldn't help but complain to the other party.

"Then why are you here? ”

"Because I think it's more uncomfortable to be with Felisty," Big-Nosed Fan didn't look back, just frowned, looking at the river in front of him, "Although that guy said he wouldn't pursue it, I don't believe her, I have to watch out for her, and she must be on guard against me." ”
