Chapter 197: A Silver Glimmer of Hope
"Don't talk so much nonsense, give me the cup first." Yaha said.
The scavenger immediately shut her mouth, she reached out and wiped it in the air, and a mirror appeared out of thin air. She reached into the mirror, fumbled for a moment, and when she pulled it out, she had an extra cup in her hand.
It was not so much a cup as a bottle β a curved-necked flask, transparent throughout, spherical in shape, and the neck curved like a swan's neck into an elegant S-shape.
Jaha only had one look to know that the scavengers weren't fooling her.
This is indeed the cup of Momo. In the past, Momo had mentioned to her that the shape of her cup was very peculiar, and it was different from others, and according to Momo's description at that time, her cup was indeed like this.
Yaha carefully lifted the cup from the scavenger and placed it in the metal box that had been prepared. Then, he took out a piece of crystal with a black metal edge and threw it in front of the other party.
"Is it enough?" She asked.
1000 Mor to buy a cup, if someone else knows, it will definitely think Yaha is crazy.
But the scavenger just picked up the crystal as a matter of course and put it in his pocket - the buyer had offered a higher price the other day. Besides, now it's not Moer's problem, she needs to think more about whether she can save her life if she can't get the cup when it comes to delivery tomorrow.
"You just said that a guy forced you to sell her this cup the other day?" Yahab asked.
She originally thought that the scavenger would not answer obediently, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time, and immediately said it all like pouring beans from a bamboo tube:
"The man, who called himself 'Roquefell', came to my shop the other day and asked me if I had ever collected a cup with a strange appearance, preferably in the shape of a curved neck bottle. Coincidentally, I actually bought one some time ago, the one you just took, and I bought it purely for fun, and it didn't cost a few moles at all......
"Seeing that someone wanted to buy it, I was also stupid at the time, and casually said, 'Yes', and before the words came out, I saw the other party's eyes...... Although she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide it at all, it was a look of excitement, ecstasy, as if she had finally discovered a treasure she had been looking for for a long time.
"I immediately guessed that this thing was unusual. When the other party asked what the price was, I gritted my teeth and opened my mouth to ask for 3,000 moles, and then ...... You know, that guy actually said yes! She threw me 3,000 Morles and told me to give her the cup now.
"I didn't give it. Because it's so weird! I'm afraid that I gave her the cup one second, and she will kill her the next! So I said that the cup had not arrived yet, and it would be a few days away. If you really want to buy it, come back then, Moer I don't want you now, when the time comes, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
"The other party stared at me for a long time, and the look was really terrible, and just when I thought she was going to do it, the other party suddenly said: 'Okay, then we will make an appointment, I will come back in a few days to get your cup, and the 3,000 moles will be left with you as a deposit, and when you give me the cup, I will give you a large amount of moles.'
After speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door of the store, just as I was relieved, there was a sudden flower in front of me, and when I reacted, I had been pulled into the 'space behind the mirror' by her, and my whole body couldn't move, at this time if she wanted to kill me, it would be easy, but fortunately she didn't, in addition to being afraid that she wouldn't find the cup, I was afraid that she would also be afraid of the rules set by Lord Evelyn...... Anyway, she came up to me and said, 'I know the little bit of caution in your heart, but I advise you to take my Mo'er obediently and sell me the cup honestly, so that it will be good for you and me.' β
I nodded hurriedly, saying that my greatest virtue as a man is that I have no curiosity, and if it weren't for that, I would have died a long time ago. The man was finally satisfied, and after agreeing with me on the delivery time, he released me, and she disappeared without a trace.
ββ¦β¦ That's the whole thing, you see, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's that I'm afraid I'm going to die. β
"Then you dare to tell me all about that person...... Yaha immediately reacted: "You want to cause trouble!" β
The scavenger laughed "hey, hey, hey": "How can you say that the water is in trouble? I just think that there are some things that should be meddled by the right people, I'm just an unlucky guy who accidentally got caught up in it, and you're the one who really should be involved, right, Captain Yaha? β
Yaha was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly lifted the status of "Red Knight", and she stared at the scavenger with the appearance of a cat-eared loli again: "Do you know my identity? β
"I didn't know." The scavenger smiled and said, "When I told you my bad luck story just now, I bought some information by the way, and then I found out. Is this actually your pet's cup? You're an emotional man, Captain Yaha. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So, aren't you curious? Why is there another person - seeing that she is so generous, maybe it is someone from Uptown. So, why would a big witch in Uptown want to get her hands on your pet's cup so much? Is there anything special about your pet? Or some other secret? You like it so much, you must want to figure it out, right? β
Despite his reluctance, Yaha had to admit that he was on point.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked.
The scavenger shook his head slowly, "I don't need to bother you, Captain Yaha. Next, I'm ready to run away, but here, I'm going to leave a little clue so that the other party can finally confirm that the person who made me missing is you - when the time comes, you two can have a cordial and friendly exchange, and then discuss carefully, what is so wrong with that cup and your pet? Hey... What do you think of my proposal? β
After hearing this, Yaha was silent for a while, and then said, "Thank you." β
"Thank you?" The scavengers were a little surprised.
"That's right, I want to thank you." Yaha suddenly grinned, "I thought there was no hope at all, but I didn't expect it to be. Just do as you say, and let her come to me!" β
With that, she strode out of the scavenger's shop.
β¦β¦
Out of the black market, Yaha's body shape and appearance finally changed back to her usual appearance. She mounted her broomstick and flew into an aerial passage at will, thinking secretly as she followed the flow of people.
The scavenger was right, if there was nothing special, why would a great witch in Uptown come and search for a pet's cup? But......
No matter how much Yaha thought about it, she couldn't remember what special abilities Momo had ever shown.
Either way, Yahab felt a glimmer of hope in the dark. The witch who is left with only the cup cannot be resurrected - normally, but what if it is not normal? What if Momo really has something special that she doesn't know, and this special place happens to bring her back from the dead, then......
So......
Yaha's fists clenched unconsciously.
"Woo-woo-" The crystal ball suddenly vibrated as she looked at the screen and realized that it was a summer night's call request.
She clicked accept.
"Captain Yaha~ Did you get what you wanted?" The sound of the summer night came.
"Got it."
"Congratulations~"
Although there was nothing to congratulate on such a thing, Yahab still said, "Thank you for helping me get rid of my debt, if it weren't for the 7,000 morals, I wouldn't have gotten it back." β
"Really? If you want to thank me, come with me tomorrow morning for a 'long-distance boat rental'." β
"What's the matter?"
"We discussed with Curran and Chris how to design the next few whaling ships that go to sea."
Even if he didn't say anything about the summer night, Yaha planned to do it after he got the cup back, and immediately said, "Okay, see you tomorrow morning." β
"So, bye~"
"Waitβ"
"Huh?"
Yaha hesitated for two seconds and said, "In the process of getting that thing, there were some twists and turns, and I want to talk to you face to face." β
She decides to ask Summer Night for help.
Although she didn't know what strange "price" the other party would propose, she knew that Xia Ye had many more means than herself, and now in this matter, only looking for her is the most reliable.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, the two sides met at the agreed position off the coast of the Etheric Sea.
As soon as they met, Xia Ye smiled evilly: "Captain Yaha, since I have helped me so much, you shouldn't mind lending me Momo's cup to admire, right?" β
Even if Summer Night doesn't mention it, Yaha plans to take out the cup and let the other party see if they can find any clues.
She answered, opened the metal box, took out a flask-shaped cup from it, and handed it to Summer Night.
Summer Night didn't answer, but instead stared at what was in Yaha's hand with a shocked and strange expression.
