Chapter 197: Distressed Mira
The morning sun was so brilliant in Mira's eyes that she didn't even want to blink, lest she miss the rare opportunity to swim in the sky in Xiao You's arms.
It was only when Ulysses took her straight above the underground auction house that she remembered that there was something very important she hadn't told him.
"Xiao You, we're here too early! The auction will only be held in the evening. Although she was reluctant to give special treatment in the arms of Ulysses, Mira still had to tell the anxious little Yu that she would have to wait for the auction of the Immortal Mythical Gem to at least get evening.
This news was actually heard with the help of the lord of Taji City, and since she knew that her beloved Xiao You was desperately seeking this legendary gem, Mira had been trying to help him pay attention to it, and finally got the news in Taji City, a bustling seaside commercial city.
"Ahh
He knew this place, because the mercenaries often got some good things of good value in the process of exploring the ruins or adventuring, and the value of these things was not fixed, so they generally did not sell to the store, but chose to send them to this underground auction house.
Occasionally, there will be some items of unknown origin, and the value of these mysterious items really depends on luck.
Since this underground auction house is said to be backed by the Wizards' Guild, it has been running fairly well for many years, and many mercenaries usually come here to try their luck when they get something of uncertain value when exploring the ruins, hoping to sell it for a good price.
Magicians and alchemists who need special materials will also come here in search of all kinds of rare items. Those things were of no use or even harmful to ordinary people, but they could be invaluable in the eyes of alchemists and magicians, and Ulysses had heard the legend of someone who had become rich overnight here when he was a mercenary.
Since neither the buyer nor the seller is named during the auction process, no one knows who the other party is, but some special items will be sent out of the list in advance, and obviously the clue to the mythical gem of Hades is on the list this time.
"Sister Mira, is it really the Immortal Mythical Gem?" Falling easily from the sky, Ulysses looked at Mira with burning eyes, and that hot look made Mira feel like her body had been penetrated.
It's a pity that this is not because of her beauty, but because of the charm of the gem - Mira is a little jealous.
However, she still doted on Ulysses as always, and would not lose any temper because of this little thing.
"That's right, the list does say bluestone, that is, the kind of Hades mythical gem, Xiao You, you want it very much, don't you?" In order to confirm this, Mira did not put much effort into it, and even read the gem trading information of Taji City this year.
Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond...... As one of the most prosperous commercial cities by the sea, Taji City has a large number of gems being traded every day, but among them, the bluestone known as the myth of Hades has only appeared on the list once in the past decade, in the underground auction to be held tonight.
"Really, is it true?" Ulysses looked at Sister Mira insistently, the news was too important for him.
Although he had been exposed to the Blue Stone Powder once with Master Cavendish the Sage of Water, he had no idea how precious the gray powder was mixed with other materials.
It wasn't until he learned from Hugo how it was produced and its history that he understood how difficult it was to get his hands on it. This is not something that can be searched for with perseverance and perseverance, only when the "Son of God" appears, and the great rebirth of the next generation is successfully successful, and this gem will be condensed from the reincarnation of the boundary between life and death.
If you're unlucky, maybe you won't be able to have a new Hades mythical gem in a hundred years.
"Really, did I ever lie to you?" Mira gently stroked Ulysses's forehead, straightening up the hair that had been messed up by flying at super high speeds, and there was indescribable tenderness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy. Only then did Ulysses realize that he was too anxious and had done something very rude to Sister Mira.
"It's nothing, since it's all out, can you show me the city?" Mira actually has some curiosity about the seaside city where Xiaoyou once studied and lived.
She wanted to know how Xiao You lived here, how she went to take the priesthood exam, and how she made new friends. That's something she doesn't know that she has been sleeping in her dreams, and she doesn't know Xiao You.
Because she likes Xiao You, she also began to slowly like this city, the place where Xiao You has lived and studied for a long time.
"Okay. Although he was a little impatient for the evening to come quickly, Ulysses resisted the urge to rush into the underground auction now. The gem wasn't going to run away there, all he needed was patience.
Holding Sister Mira's hand, Ulysses began to lead her around the city she was familiar with.
In front of the solemn church of Taji, Ulysses and Mira stopped together.
"This is the cathedral, the place where I often come to pray, and the priests inside have always been very kind to me. ”
In front of the lively mercenary union, Ulysses fell into memory.
"This is the mercenary union, where I make money part-time. I earn my living expenses and study expenses here. ”
In front of the small building that has become an open space, Ulysses is a little sad.
"This is where I rented a place, but it collapsed in a battle before I left. ”
On the beach with a salty sea breeze, Ulysses pointed to the sea in the distance.
"This is where I went to sea, and it was an experimental large steel ship specially organized by the Magus Guild......"
In Ulysses' narration, Mira slowly constructs in her mind a picture of Ulysses coming to study and work in a distant seaside city.
It must be hard and lonely. In a strange city where no one knows him, he can only fight alone with light magic, and no matter what he does, he needs to do it himself, which is too difficult for a boy who is only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Have you eaten well, have you had a good rest, have you messed around with your body, and has anyone taken care of you?
There must be none, she knows that Xiaoyou will never ask others for help, no matter what it is, she will work hard to survive alone.
In this strange big city, he must have suffered a lot when he came out of Mira Village, looking at those obscure books alone at night, and working hard for that ideal.
He failed the priesthood exam again and again, but he never gave up, but stood up again and again, gritted his teeth and moved towards his goal.
At that time, no one was by his side, and no one could reach out to him to help him. So he can only work hard alone, no matter what happens, he will never give up, and guard that dream alone.
In the past few years when she has been asleep, he must have suffered a lot, just thinking about it, her heart hurts faintly.
"This is where I died once...... Ulysses looked at the street in front of him in a trance, he didn't know when it appeared in front of him, here, he really died once, and the pain of his heart being penetrated can still be clearly recalled.
"That's enough, Xiao You...... You've really grown up. Mira gently hugged Ulysses from behind, not letting him say more, she was afraid that her heart would hurt to death.
