As Robus and Vivien talked, Mirmis noticed something unusual nearby, somewhat similar to the sound of firecrackers.

Mirmis looked out the window and saw several children running by, perhaps they were joking.

When Mirmis's attention returned to the conversation between the two, the conversation was long over, leaving Vivien with a very disappointed appearance.

It seems that the shop owner here will not be able to do this business for the time being.

After explaining the situation in the store, Robles added calmly: "And not only my goods have been robbed, but many merchants have also suffered, and it is estimated that there are no goods in other stores in the city." Robus's words made the already unpleasant shopping trip even more vicissitudes.

Speaking of this, Robles seemed to laugh a little gloatingly.

Although it was unfortunate to encounter this kind of thing, he was not the only one, and that was enough.

It's just that for Vivien, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Vivien cupped her forehead in frustration, her plans completely disrupted by the sudden robber.

But Vivien hadn't given up completely, asking, "Isn't anyone willing to pursue this case?"

Robus seemed to have guessed Vivien's question, and shrugged helplessly, "It's not that the Knights don't care, it's that they can't spare their hands at all."

Robus sighed lightly, his expression suddenly aged a lot, and said sadly, "Recently, the demons have started harassing the border again, and most of the manpower has been transferred over there." Chinese Net

Speaking of this, Robus gritted his teeth, looking very angry.

If it weren't for the demons invading the borders of the kingdom, the number of guards in the city would not have dropped, and those thieves would not have had a chance to be so rampant.

After receiving this answer, Vivien became even more disheartened, and her whole person darkened a lot.

Although she didn't get the desired result, Vivien politely nodded her head to Robus and said, "Thank you for telling me this."

Vivien then pushed the door open and left the store, and Mirmis followed her.

Milmis accompanied Vivien to other shops in the city, but the result was the same as Robus said, and all the goods in the other shops were not spared, and all the thieves looted them.

And because of the shortage of crystal balls, the price has naturally risen, and the price of crystal balls that can still be placed in the store has increased several times.

Vivien didn't have that much money, so her shopping plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

The two of them walked down a secluded alley, and all they could hear was the sound of the breeze blowing through the surrounding walls.

Vivien lowered her head listlessly, her expression a little complicated, and her gaze moved to Mirmis from time to time, but quickly dodged.

Milmis patted Vivien on the shoulder and encouraged, "I can buy it."

Vivien smiled wryly, but immediately fell back into the tangle.

Mirmis may never have guessed that what Vivien was now worried about was not the crystal ball, but the way to return to the original world.

The easiest way to do this is to return to the mansion, to the room with the pentagram engraved with it, and to use the magic circle drawn in the house to return to its original location.

As long as the two of them buy things quickly, they should be able to return to the original world before one of the troublesome characters appears.

However, the reality is too far from Vivien's expectations, not only will she not be able to buy a crystal ball, but she may not even be able to go back.

Vivien frowned, lost in thought.

Should I let Mirmis go back first?

Vivien knew that the longer it dragged on, the less likely it was that Mirmis would return.

But if Mirmis had left first, the chances of her going back on her own would have been slim to none.

Vivien knew very well that she alone would have little chance of winning against the caster who had carved a pentagram on the door of the upper room.

What should I do? If the pomelo tower was here, she would have told me

It's better to choose what to do.

Vivien was deeply troubled, her right hand subconsciously resting on her forehead.

At this moment, a rapid sound of ants' hooves came from not far away, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and the source of the sound was rapidly approaching the two of them.

It was a giant ant-like creature, rushing towards the two of them at the speed of a wild horse.

Mirmis quickly pulled Vivien, who had not yet recovered from his nerves, behind him, and firmly grasped the ant's forelimbs with both hands, and under the influence of inertia, the ant's body fell forward violently, and Mirmis seized the moment when it was unbalanced, and slammed it sideways into the ground.

The ants immediately fainted after being hit by the violent impact and could not get up again.

And where the ants fell, they smashed several floor tiles and dented one of the ground.

It was only after a few seconds that Vivien realized what had just happened, and she hurried forward to check Mirmis's palm, and to her surprise, Mirmis's palm did not have any abrasions.

After making sure that Mirmis was safe and sound, Vivien explained with relief, "The Walkers have stiff bristles on their legs, but luckily you weren't hurt."

Mirmis walked over to the giant unconscious ant, touched its head, and asked, "Are the Terratic ants very ferocious animals?"

Vivien shook her head and said, "No, it's docile, I've never seen a land walker like this before."

In this regard, Vivian is also quite puzzled, in her impression, the land walking ants have been used as a means of transportation to pull carts for a hundred years, and it is difficult to see them unless they are in a critical moment.

Just when the two of them were in doubt, a woman who looked like a merchant hurried in the direction where the land walkers were running.

The businesswoman leaned against the wall, her head hung down, gasping for air, and it was clear that she was not fit for long-distance running.

When the businesswoman raised her head, the first thing she saw was that the land bugger was already six feet in the sky, and she immediately ran over in distress to check whether there were any obvious wounds on the land bugin's body.

After confirming the condition of the Walkers, the businesswoman noticed Mirmis standing next to the Walkers.

Mirmis looked at the businesswoman curiously, but she was startled by the sudden appearance of Mirmis, and exclaimed, "Wow! Who are you?!"

"I'm Mirmis, are you the owner of this land walker?" As he spoke, Mirmis stroked the ant's belly a few more times, and the fur here was softer to the touch.

The businesswoman nodded and said, "Well, my name is Lolos Creek, you can call me Creek."

At the end of the self-introduction, the businesswoman seemed to realize something and asked a little embarrassed, "Well, did my land walker ant bump into someone here just now?"

The businesswoman clutched her chest and quickly looked around, as if she didn't see anyone hurt, and her hanging heart and clenched hands were lowered.

But new questions arise, who made her Walker ant look like this?

Before the businesswoman could ask a question, Vivien walked over, looked at the unconscious Walker and said, "It almost hit us just now, so Mirmis subdued it."

The businesswoman was surprised to hear this, and then immediately began to bow and apologize in a 90-degree position: "I'm very sorry, because I almost hurt you seriously because I mismanaged it."

Vivien smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not hurt. But can you tell me what's going on? The land walkers probably won't rush to the road for no reason."

The businesswoman recounted what had happened: "Actually, I was just grooming Ka in the rest room...... Xiaoka is the name I gave to this land walker...... While combing, I heard the arguments of several children, and suddenly a lit firecracker fell from outside the fence, and the sound of the explosion made Xiaoka very frightened, so he rushed out like crazy."

"I see, I'm frightened." Vivien nodded, believing that what Crick said was not a fabricated lie.

Crick sincerely bowed his head again and apologized: "I'm really sorry...... Actually, I have a reluctant request......

Crick looked up, her eyes fixed on Mirmis.

"Huh?" Vivien didn't quite understand what Crick meant, and followed her gaze to Mirmis.

"I'd like to hire Miss Milmis as a bodyguard for travel." Crick pleaded sincerely.

But contrary to expectations, Mirmis shook his head and politely declined Crick's request.

Crick was visibly anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why? Is it because the little card just rushed at you? If you get hurt, I can help pay for the treatment, as long as you're willing to be my bodyguard."

Mirmis shook his head again and replied, "Because I've served as Vivien's bodyguard."

As she spoke, Mirmis looked at Vivien, causing her to scratch her head in embarrassment.

After hearing this, Crick was like a deflated ball, and he was instantly depressed.

Seeing Crick so upset, Mirmis asked, "Is anyone trying to hurt you?"

Crick shook his head slightly, and said with a gloomy look, "It's a bandit, I want to transport the goods back to the village, but I am likely to be attacked by them on the way."

"Hire adventurers?" Vivien suggested.

Crick quickly rejected the idea: "No, the leader of that bandit gang is very powerful, and the number of subordinates is large, so most adventurers dare not take this commission."

"However, when I saw Miss Milmis, who was able to subdue Little Ka so easily, I suddenly felt hopeful." Crick's eyes were sincere, and he looked at Mirmis expectantly.

"But since she's your bodyguard, I guess I'll have to try my luck with the Adventurers' Guild again. Please take care of the card for me, I'll go back as soon as I go."

With that, Crick turned around and prepared to walk in the direction of the Adventurers' Guild.

At this time, Vivien stopped her and said, "Since Mirmis is my bodyguard, how about I go with me?"
