Chapter 320: Group Action
All the members of the Knights of the Doll were left in the hotel.
It's so dazzling to take these 30-centimeter-sized little people and go out that almost everyone's eyes will be attracted to them.
Crowded places are really not suitable for them to move.
Arka looked at his teammates, muttered for a moment, and said, "Let's work in groups. β
"Lucilia and Bororo, the three of us followed Xia Dai's proposal to draw a map of this area. The rest of the people are free to roam around the city, and by the way, get some information. β
"No problem."
"Okay."
Hearing everyone's answers, Arka nodded. Then he thought of something, stopped and looked at Julia and said, "Julia, in this place, it's better for you to go out less." Hide yourself. β
Julia nodded, able to understand what Arka meant.
After all, Julia is still a mermaid at heart, although she has transformed her fishtail into legs through her own abilities.
But once discovered, there are still problems.
Even though she is no longer a believer in life, she has even turned her back on life.
Sometimes disgusted enemies don't care so much, after all, merfolk are almost bound to life.
After the assignment, Arka's group of 4 left the hotel directly.
"It's so hilarious." Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder and looked around.
At this time, preparations for the festival are underway all around.
Various lanterns, as well as decorations clearly made for the festive atmosphere, are being placed all over the place.
When they came to the large square in front of the city entrance, they could see that the stage seemed to be still being set up.
"It tastes weird, it's not just scented." Poloro sniffed and said.
"There are too many people, it's normal to smell weird."
Lucilia said as she sat on Alka's shoulder.
The surrounding shops are also decorating their own stores.
Shadetti looked at one of the shops buying and selling clothes.
"Why don't we get dressed?"
Hearing this, Arka nodded.
Even though Bororo followed them, even if they changed their clothes, they were still very conspicuous in this place.
But it's better than not changing.
It's also a taste of interracial style.
Except for Poloro, several people entered the store.
Only Bororo sat helplessly on the stone pier at the door.
When Arka they came out.
Pololo was already surrounded by children from the city.
"And do you eat people?"
"Eat, you kids like to eat the most." Bororo said to a child who wanted to lie on top of him.
Then he reluctantly lifted him up and put him aside.
When he saw Arka and the others come out, he turned his head and suddenly roared at the children around him.
"Roar!"
"If you don't run, I'm going to eat you!"
"Ahhh
"I'm going to eat people, run!"
The children around him screamed and ran away, but you could see the smiling faces of the children.
It's obviously running for fun.
Having dispersed the children, Bororo reluctantly walked to Arka's side.
"I'm going to be annoyed if you don't come out again, so let's go."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite popular with these children." Arka said with a smile next to him.
Hearing this, Poloro rolled his eyes helplessly and waved his hand to let them go quickly.
"Ahh I want new clothes too! Lucilia, who had not bought a new dress, said angrily on Alka's shoulder.
This is the place where the ready-to-wear store is sold, and the inability to customize clothes has led to Lucilia still wearing her old clothes.
She likes the island's unique national costumes.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti said with a smile next to him: "It's okay, I almost understand their style, and I'll make one for you when I go back." β
"Really? That's great. β
Everyone talked and laughed.
Enjoying the scenery of the city, I slowly came to the gate.
He greeted the soldiers before him with a smile and left the small port on the Feiyan.
As soon as he came out, Xia Daiti immediately entered the working state.
Silver ripples began to spread around, but in fact, these silver ripples were difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Shadetti has now been able to hide these ripples very well.
"Which area do you want to probe?"
Hearing this, Arka took out the map of the Land of the Spirits, and circled the orange dot and its surroundings.
Since this fragrant land is equivalent to the core of the entire land of spirits, if they rashly probe on it, there will definitely be problems.
So Arka abandoned the idea of including the island.
And there really is no spot in the fragrant country, not even a white spot.
Look at the area on the Alka circle.
Xia Daiti nodded.
Then he drove forward with the three Arka.
β¦β¦
Jason and Juan Lu wander around the city.
As for the rest of Simon, as well as Matrice, they decided to stay in the hotel and stay with Julia.
At this time, the two of them were also wearing clothes with flower petals and various flower elements, and they completely integrated into the city.
"What are you looking for?" Juan Lu asked, looking at Jason as if he was looking for something.
Hearing this, Jason didn't turn his head back, still searching, but replied: "What else can it be, of course, to find if there is a place to sell gems." β
Hearing this, Juan Lu immediately understood, patted Applejack on the shoulder and stopped talking, but the gloating smile on his face really couldn't be hidden.
The crystal dragon's gems are almost gone, and yesterday he was very angry because of the empty gem bag.
Today, because of his body size and unusual appearance, he can't enter the city and can only wander around the periphery, and he is even more angry.
If Jason goes out for a while, he can't get a gem to amuse the crystal dragon.
Urullius would definitely be angry with him.
"It's like you've got a daughter."
Hearing this, Jason turned his head to look at him: "Is it like this for an adopted daughter?" β
Juan Lu shrugged his shoulders: "How do I know, I don't even have a fiancΓ©e, I'm just talking." β
"By the way, where did you get the money?"
"I borrowed it from Julia."
"Well, good guy." Juan Lu nodded in agreement.
Julia is indeed a good borrower.
Like Pololo, they are almost all people who don't consume much.
Of the three people in the ocean, only Matresa seems to consume regularly. Moreover, the consumption of Matresa is generally a variety of experimental materials and medicinal materials for consumption.
There are all kinds of strange things that everyone can't understand at all.
"Jewelry store...... Where? Isn't there anyone wearing jewelry in this place? Jason searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and asked helplessly.
However, no one answered his words.
Turning his head, Juan Lu was already far behind, stopping in front of a stall selling things.
Then he hurriedly ran back again.
Looking at the stalls on sale, there are all kinds of ingredients that I can't understand.
However, there are some that they have used before.
For example, the fathead fish.
It's more about the rhizomes of various petals, plants, and sun-dried whole flowers.
"Can you eat these things?" Jason asked quietly in Juanlu's ear.
"Of course, these are still good seasonings."
"Did you get it?"
"No, isn't that going to give it a try?" Juan Lu said indifferently.
Later, I also selected some of the ingredients in the corner of the stall that looked extremely bad and looked like insects.
Seeing this scene, Jason's face turned a little green.
But it's impossible to stop it.
It was decided that Juan Lu had been careful lately, and that it was best to hide if he saw him holding a plate.
Before thinking about it, Juan Lu had already made most of the ingredients on the stall.
"Do you collect money?" Juan Lu took out the silver sail and motioned to the boss to ask.
Looking at the outsider in front of him, the boss looked helpless.
"We're just xenophobic, not savages, friends."
"Haha, I'm sorry boss, do the math." Juan Lu said with an awkward smile.
Stuff the packaged ingredients into your pocket rings.
Then he and Jason left.
"How does he know we're outsiders?"
After all, they're all dressed in the same local costumes now, and they're all human. There is no difference in skin color or race, and it should be difficult to distinguish just by looking at the appearance.
Hearing this, Jason gave him a strange look.
"You don't think the two of us speak the lingua franca of the Spirit Sea very well, do you? There will definitely be a difference in accent. Maybe we don't think so, but it's very obvious to the locals. β
After listening to Jason's explanation, Juan Lu nodded clearly, he really didn't notice.
If Julia or Lucilia were to speak, it would be possible to confuse the real with the false.
Julia is fine, as for Lucilia, she can tell at a glance.
Finally, under Jason's inquiry, the two found a place where jewelry and gemstones were sold in the Land of Fragrance.
It's a strange flower room.
Because this flower is a deep purple color, it looks particularly strange in this place, which is almost always pale flowers.
The surface of the flower is still sparkling, like a diamond, and like a dew drop hanging on the petals.
The two walked in.
A middle-aged man dressed in local costume, but with a somewhat elegant appearance, stood at the back of the counter.
Even if he just stands like this, it makes people feel that he is polite and adds an invisible goodwill.
And he has a good middle-aged face.
With this face, it is definitely a killer of middle-aged women.
Jason and Juan Lu narrowed their eyes slightly the moment they saw this person.
The two of them raised their vigilance in unison.
Because this man feels dangerous to them.
A strong man.
The boss, who was straight, pushed his silver-rimmed glasses.
At the end of the temples of the eyes, there is also a decoration made of flowers.
"Guests from outside? It's amazing, is there anything I can do for both? β
Jason looked at the jewelry on the counter.
It can only be said that it is worthy of fragrant fragrance, and almost 80% of jewelry is decorated with various flowers.
This place really plays with flowers.
The rest is also somewhat related to the flower ribbon point.
In response to this boss's question, Jason said directly: "Are there any valuable rough stones?" As long as the gemstone ones. β
Jason's question made the boss slightly stunned.
Buying rough gemstones in a jewelry store? What is this operation?
Seeing that the boss looked slightly incomprehensible, Jason was just embarrassed.
Mainly because they are too unfamiliar with this place, and they may not stay here for long.
He had other things to do, some intel to gather, and not much time to waste on finding gems.
Although it was a little strange, the boss still smiled and said, "Although the customer's request is a little strange, as long as the price is right, we will sell it." β
"That couldn't be better."
The boss nodded slightly, bent down slightly, and said, "Two guests, please wait for a moment." β
With that, he pushed open the door behind him and walked into the room inside.
As for whether there is a fear of someone outside stealing.
Hehe.
The two of Jason waited outside for about a minute or so.
The boss walked out with a wooden box with flowers on it.
"Keep you two waiting."
As he spoke, he placed the wooden box on the counter and opened it.
"These are the untreated rough stones that we have now, let's see if there are any that you need."
Jason walked over and looked at the contents of the box.
A wide variety of colors, large and small gems spread throughout the small chest.
The small ones are probably not even as good as the nails of the little fingers, but the large ones are the size of the palm of the palm.
"Can you get started?"
Hearing this, the boss nodded: "Of course, guests are please." β
Jason nodded.
Then he reached out and began to pick up the gems in the chest.
Most of these gemstones exhibit a variety of irregular shapes, as well as some strange edges and corners.
There is almost no polishing at all.
You can even see some of the stone residues sticking to some of the gemstones, which have not been peeled off.
As the boss said, it is indeed a rough stone that has barely been polished.
It's like you've just mined out of a mine.
The boss looked at Jason's choice.
Hardly any of them are smaller than the size of a finger, and this guest doesn't seem to be inclined to smaller, but prettier, gemstones.
Do you prefer the big one?
After taking out the gems that were the right size, at least not the ones that Urulilius didn't feel at all after eating them.
Jason began to pick carefully.
After removing some of the gemstones, look at the remaining gemstones.
Only then did he nod with satisfaction: "That's all, the boss will make a price." β
Seeing Jason's unusually bold appearance, the boss looked up at him slightly.
But he still opened his mouth to remind: "This guest, I have to warn you. This is the land of spirits, and you must know that the gems here may not be as readily available as they are outside.
Compared with the outside price, there may be a slight gap. β
Although the boss's expression was slightly tactful, the meaning was obvious.
Don't think about buying these gemstones with an outside price.
Jason nodded: "Don't worry." β
He dared to buy it here and was ready to be slaughtered, who told him that he was not well prepared before.
Underestimating the speed of Urulius' growth, and the time it took them to sail. As long as this boss doesn't go too far, he can accept it.
After all, the gems on his body had indeed been depleted, and he urgently needed some replenishment.
Hearing that Jason didn't mind, the boss nodded.
Then he looked at the gems on the counter that Jason had picked out.
I couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect the guest to really have a vision, do you also have a certain amount of research on gemstones?" You must be a gemstone lover. β
Hearing this, Jason nodded.
He can't love it, at least for now.
As for his vision, it was completely honed by feeding.
To put it simply, the better the gem crystal dragon eats, the more you like it.
It's like eating food.
If he feeds too much, he will be able to distinguish what is good and what is not.
Of course, he can't tell anyone that he can tell the difference between good and bad by taste.
It mainly comes from the contract he signed with the crystal dragon, and he always has a sense of darkness for these characteristic gems.
It's just a simple distinction between good and bad purity, and it's like instinct.
Then the boss began to calculate.
"A total of 356 golden sails, count it as 350, can you accept it? Guest. β
Hearing the price, Jason looked at the gems on the table and nodded.
It's reasonable, although it's definitely a bit more expensive than the twin islands, but it's only about 30% more expensive.
This place is already within the scope of his acceptance.
Jason's acceptance limit is 50 percent.
Counted out 350 gold sails from the pocket ring, put them into a small box, and handed them to the boss in front of them.
Then wait for the boss to clean it up again.
After all, the size of a golden sail is the size of a palm. And not very thin.
The 350 pieces are neatly placed in a small box, and they look very weighty.
After a careful inventory, the boss nodded with satisfaction.
Also take out a box, make a cushion of soft silk for the gemstones, and put them away.
Handed it to Jason.
"Thank you for your patronage, is there anything else you need?"
"No, then I'll take my leave."
"Welcome back next time."
Jason held the box and stuffed it into a pocket ring. After saying goodbye to the boss very simply, he left the store with Juan Lu.
And Juan Lu's face didn't know when he had put on a pair of glasses, and sat silently in the corner watching the communication between the two.
Looking at the two who left.
The boss didn't know what he was thinking.
"I didn't expect the biggest deal to come from the original sale...... Should I change careers? β
After coming out, the two communicated.
"Approximate strength?"
"Four stages of success."
"It's pretty strong."
