Chapter 224: I'm a native of Nafu

After Randolph left, according to the agreement with the other party, Claire was no longer pressing the construction of the church, anyway, when the time came back, that Omar was simply at his disposal, as long as he didn't allow it, the other party didn't even dare to come out of the church, let alone go around preaching like Randolph.

After Randolph left, the masters also withdrew from the city, and without Wendy's opera competition with those masters, the popularity of the city gradually decreased a lot, and it became a lot more deserted than in those days.

But that's just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, the number of tourists coming to Nafu City is still slowly rising, and the popularity has been outplayed, and it happens that this time period is autumn and winter, and some residents in northern cities have included Nafu City as an option for tourism when they travel to escape the cold.

And it's not just tourists who come, there is a group of people who are particularly eye-catching, troubadours, and some troubadours can often be seen performing in the streets and alleys.

Most of these troubadours were attracted to Wendy, as a rising troubadour master, and his invincible record against many masters, and enough to make many troubadours regard Wendy as an idol, just as Wendy regarded Morey as her idol in the first place.

After coming, because of the large number of tourists here, it also gave the troubadours the opportunity to stay, and the income they received from performing here was more stable than when they wandered around, and Wendy would also select some more capable people to work in the Grand Theater, which gave hope to many low-level troubadours, after all, they had no stable upward channel before.

Claire was also very welcoming to these troubadours, and issued several decrees to ensure the legitimacy and benefits of their work in Naffu. Although it seems that they are attached to Nafu City now, if it takes a long time, they will form a unique culture that will act on Nafu City in turn, becoming one of the unique cultural characteristics of Nafu City, attracting more tourists to visit and watch.

……

In the newly built Mermaid Square, Claire stands in the distance watching a troubadour perform, and like Wendy before her, the troubadour is full of people standing in front of her, listening carefully to the ups and downs of the legend.

Because of the large number of troubadours in Nafjo, there was competition among these troubadours who had to innovate and create stories that were compelling, and many troubadours found themselves in Nafo City where their skills improved a lot.

After hearing half of this, Claire turned around and left, he was not here to tap for talents like Wendy, he was just here to see how the troubadour community was developing in Naffu.

Now it seems that it is not bad.

As soon as she had not walked more than ten steps, Claire was stopped by a person shouting, "This little master, wait a minute!" ”

Claire stopped and turned around, and it was a vendor pushing a stall, which is common in Nafu City now, mainly gathering in some crowded places, selling some drinks or snacks, and as far as Claire knew, they had made the sizzling squid.

When he saw Claire stop, the vendor smiled and stepped forward, "I think it's your first time visiting Naf, right?" ”

Claire tilted her head: ??? Am I an outsider?

After seeing Claire's reaction, the peddler became even more determined, "Shall I introduce you to the specialties of Nafu City?" This is a sculpture of a mermaid ......"

"Wait!" Claire reached out to stop the other party's words and asked, "Are you a local?" ”

Hearing Claire's words, the peddler was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said without hesitation: "Of course! I'm a native of Nafu City, and I can show you where you want to go, and I know exactly where to go in Nafu City! ”

Claire smiled, it seems that other cities should have come to Nafu City to do business, otherwise they wouldn't even know themselves. However, Claire is not very disgusted with these foreign merchants, but she needs to put some catfish in, otherwise those merchants in Nafu City think that they can sit at home and collect money by virtue of their location, which is not conducive to future development.

Claire smiled, "No, you can introduce me to your goods." ”

"Good, good." The vendor smiled again, "I'm selling these sculptures, I'm sure you've heard the story of a mermaid, right?" I have a sculpture of a mermaid, and the name of the park here is also called Mermaid Park, which was built at the Viscount's expense......"

The vendor said as he handed Claire the statue of the mermaid as he pulled out a new one from the stall.

"It's okay if you don't like mermaid stories...... I also have a statue of Walter and Millie here, the scene when they met at the cemetery, and a statue of Cupid, the goddess of love......"

The vendor kept taking the statues out of the stall and placing them in front of Claire one by one, all of them were characters from Wendy's story.

Interestingly, Claire discovers that the statue of Cupid, the goddess of love, is actually based on Melly, which is recognizable at first glance if someone is familiar with Melly.

Claire flicked the statue in her hand, rubbing her thumb against it, and suddenly the movement of her hand stopped.

Claire frowned and looked at the statue of the mermaid in her hand suspiciously, he didn't have the slightest roughness or tearing when he rubbed it just now, and after a closer look, Claire found that this statue was different, which was very different from the sculpture of the mermaid in Wendy's hand when she first came.

The feel is much more delicate to the touch, and from the appearance, there are already some obvious differences, the one in Claire's hand is more delicate, and it looks more low-key and luxurious.

Claire secretly said in her heart: Could it be that those blacksmiths in Nagin Town have improved their craftsmanship themselves? That's pretty good, at least you don't have to do it yourself, and now such a statue is enough.

After seeing Claire's mind immersed in the mermaid's sculpture, the peddler said ostentatiously, "I bought this from out of town at a great price, and it is much more beautiful than the previous statues!" ”

"Out of town?" Claire's brow furrowed slightly.

"Yes, compared to the statues sold by others, the quality of the statues here is not only high, but the price is about the same as theirs!" The peddler said triumphantly.

Claire held up the mermaid statue in her hand and asked, "Isn't this forged in Nagintown?" ”

"Nagin Town? What is that place? The peddler scratched his head and said, "I bought it from Ogon City." ”

"Aogang City ......" Claire muttered, Aogang City he knew, it was the closest big city to Nafu City, and it was a little more developed and wealthy than the current Nafu City.

Claire thought of something and said quickly: "How much!" I bought it. ”

The peddler didn't know how the man in front of him reacted so violently, but he still replied, "The mermaid statue in your hand is seven silver coins each." ”

Claire took out seven silver coins from the space ring, buckled them on the stall, picked up the mermaid statue in her hand and turned her head away.

The vendor put away the seven silver coins and blossomed, "Hehe, this person is so generous, he bought it directly without bargaining." "If it's a bargain, it's acceptable for him to get four or five silver coins.

As soon as Claire walked away, a vendor ran up to her and shouted, "Aubrey! What are you doing? ”

Aubrey blinked, not understanding why the other party reacted so much, scratched his head and said, "Sell something." ”

"Smack!" Another vendor slapped his hand on his forehead and asked helplessly, "Do you know who he is?" ”

Aubrey was even more puzzled, "Who is this?" ”

He was indeed an outsider as Claire thought, and all his news about Nafu City came from this vendor in front of him, they were distant relatives, and after Nafu City became popular, he came to the other party, and the other party took him to do the vendor business.

"He's the Viscount I often tell you about! I saw him a long time ago, and I didn't dare to come forward to talk, but you have the courage to ......"

"Huh?!" The statue in Aubrey's hand was almost unstable, turned his head to look in the direction where Claire had disappeared, and said apathically: "Is that Lord Viscount?" ”

It seems that he has done something amazing, selling the statue of a mermaid to the Viscount of Nafu City......
