Chapter 4: Anti-Mind Killer!

Robben takes over the task that Emma has posted.

However, before entering the forest, he needs to buy some supplies.

Hearing that Robben was planning to buy supplies, Emma immediately became interested and strongly asked Robben to bring her along. She spent her childhood in the Dibiliss family's estate, and when she grew up, she went directly to the Crist Academy to study magic, so she had little contact with the outside world. For her, going to the city is an experience like no other.

Emma suppressed her urge to cheer and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Great, let's go, where are we going?" ”

"There's a bazaar near the Adventurers' Guild, let's go there." Robben had already had an idea, and he planned to take Emma to the adventurer's bazaar, which he was most familiar with.

As the largest and most prosperous city on the edge of the Emerald Forest, there are naturally more than one market in the sister city, including the adventurer's market where adventurers and mercenaries gather, the citizens' market where goods are mainly sold, and the wholesale market outside the city that specializes in the trading of bulk commodities. Of course, the black market is also essential. It's just that the supplies needed for this mission can be purchased at the Adventurer's Bazaar, and there is no need to venture to the black market.

After talking about the destination of the trip, Robben set off with the girl.

The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, with a wet and cold smell. The rain has carried away the filth of the city, washing the old city with a new one, but it has also brought with it a chill of autumn.

After walking a few steps outside, perhaps because of her activity, Emma's stomach began to squirm, and she accelerated the digestion of the breakfast she had just eaten. The gases from the fermentation of food traveled all the way up the esophagus, eventually rushing out of the girl's cherry lips.

"Hiccup~"

Emma's face turned red.

[made a strange sound.,Can I only say that it's worthy of a girl.,...... Immature, is it just that this level is unacceptable? 】

Ignoring the indecent speech of the demons in his heart, Robben turned his head and looked at Emma.

It's over, it's over, it's over, he's heard! Emma felt like she was about to collapse: how could she make such an indecent sound, how should she face Robben now? You shouldn't have eaten so much in the morningβ€”

"Isn't it a little cold? Do you need me to go back and get you some clothes? In Robben's eyes, Emma, who hangs her head because of shyness, is really super cute! In the past, he must have teased the other party, but Emma didn't look like a joke he could afford now, so Robben deliberately diverted the topic.

Emma, who heard this question, was stunned for a moment, and then understood Robben's intentions, knowing that he was covering for himself, which made her breathe a sigh of relief: as long as everyone in the know pretends that nothing happened, then nothing really happened, how can a beautiful girl burp? It must be a hallucination! After figuring this out, she immediately shook her head, indicating that she was not cold, and at the same time, she couldn't help but have a good impression of Robben in her heart.

If this guy breaks down what he just did, he really doesn't know what to do.

Listening to Emma's answer, Robben was thoughtful. Is it really not cold? He was very suspicious, what clothes Emma was wearing yesterday, he could see it very clearly, the upper body was okay, but the lower half of her body was only wearing a thin pair of stockings, wouldn't she really be flustered from freezing?

[Fresh milk should be kept warm, ham should be refrigerated]

Even Robben has to admit that the demon is right this time, but don't you worry about arthritis when you grow up in the future, or do witches have special warmth skills? It's not impossible.

After this little episode, the two head straight to the Adventurer's Bazaar. Adventurers and mercenaries will sell the "treasures" and unused items they get during their missions, and merchants who can't afford to make a profit will also sell all kinds of necessary materials for adventures here, making it a market for adventurers.

The bazaar occupies a small square and spreads out to the surrounding neighborhoods. The market was so crowded that there were thousands of people in the square alone, which was not as big as the school playground, and that wasn't counting the traffic in the surrounding neighborhoods. Most vendors spread a piece of cloth on the ground to be open, and those who are a little more serious will set up a shelf on the side of the road or rent a storefront nearby. The things sold at such stalls are more expensive, but the quality is much better.

"Be careful, don't touch things, and try not to touch the things in the stall." Robben reminded Emma. There are two kinds of people to watch out for in this kind of market, pickpockets who steal people's money, and vendors who are waiting for an opportunity to touch porcelain. They'll deliberately put some merchandise on the edge of the stall, and if you pass by and accidentally touch something, wait for your wallet to bleed.

"Oh." Emma replied absentmindedly, her mind now drifting to the various goods sold by the peddlers, and as Robben walked into the bazaar, she looked around and longed for a few more eyes.

The stall they just passed by was selling body parts of various animals, and a short and fat man was holding the horn of an unknown animal and bargaining with the stall owner: "You don't even know what kind of animal horn this is, and you dare to sell me for 27 silver moons?!" Are you crazy or am I crazy? ”

Behind the stall was a small shop with a large pile of crucibles and strange silverware in the doorway, and the windows of the shop were filled with all kinds of potion ingredients, which looked like a shop specializing in potions. The shop next to the potion shop was larger, and the sign at the door read "Iron King's Tent: Weapons Made since the first year of George IX"

George IX is the previous king of the kingdom of Moxilan, who has reigned for nine years, and the current queen Sophia I has just ascended the throne for less than a year.

Robben found out that Emma was looking at the weapons shop, and said with emotion: "Don't look at this shop for a short time, but this is the best blacksmith shop in the sister city." ”

His ring-headed knife was made here, and it was very easy to use, and according to the evaluation of the unreliable demon, it was really a high-quality weapon.

"It's a strange way of dating." Emma didn't care about the quality of the weapons in the shop, as she was a mage, and she was more curious about why the shop used the strange dating of "the first year of George IX".

There are two popular methods of dating on the mainland, one is the year of the founding of the Kingdom of Amer, the oldest human country, as the first year, and the other is the year of the catastrophe that occurred thousands of years ago as the first year.

"The owner of this shop is from the far east, and they use the chronology of the prince's accession to the throne, which is different from here."

"I see."

Robben and Emma explain the origin of the Iron King's Tent to the shop, and lead her to the nearby potion shop, where he wants to buy some necessary medicines.

As soon as he entered the store, a bitter smell of various medicinal materials mixed with each other came to his face, and Robben had long been accustomed to it, so he walked to the counter without changing his face and gently tapped the countertop twice with his fingers.

Squeak!

A door behind the counter was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a sallow face and a large hooked nose stepped out from behind the door.

"Buy anthelmintic medicine, veterinary repellent, antidote, healing potion, recovery potion, ten nutrition pills, I'm going to the Emerald Forest." Robben succinctly explained his intentions.

"Nutrition pills five bronze stars, insect repellent powder, one golden dragon, veterinary medicine powder, one golden dragon and fifteen silver moons, universal antidote potion, healing potion, recovery potion, if you buy three bottles together, you will be counted as ten golden dragons, a total of twelve golden dragons, nineteen silver moons and one bronze star."

The currency system of the Moxilan Kingdom is a very desperate seven-thirty decimal system, and there are three main currencies: the golden dragon, the silver moon and the bronze star, and it is also sandwiched with auxiliary coins such as copper wheat and copper plates, one gold dragon can be exchanged for thirty silver moons, and one silver moon can be exchanged for seven copper stars. It may seem complicated at first, but it's not particularly difficult to calculate when familiar.

In the kingdom of Moxilan, a Bronze Star could buy a pound of black bread, and a large glass of shoddy ale was about the same price. A silver moon can buy a pound of pork with fat as white as snowflakes at a butcher's shop. If you are willing to take out a golden dragon, you can even get ten pounds of beef.

As long as you don't touch the materials related to the adventure, the money in the Moxilan Kingdom is still very spent, but it's a pity that Robben is an adventurer. This line of work earns a lot and spends a lot, just now he bought some potions casually and spent nearly thirteen golden dragons.

Just as Robben was about to pay the bill, Emma was one step ahead of him and placed a stack of gold dragon coins on the counter.

[Rich woman, hungry, hungry, rice~]

The demon was immediately excited, thirteen golden dragons were not a small amount, and he could almost buy half a cow or the boots on Emma's right foot.

The shopkeeper with greasy hair set his eyes on Robben and did not immediately put away the money on the counter.

Robben coughed lightly, pushed the gold coins aside, and then took out his small money bag, arranging twelve golden dragons, nineteen silver moons, and one bronze star on the table in turn.

"It's our rule that adventurers pay for the supplies they need for adventures." Robben told Emma about the unspoken rules of the industry. The employer only pays once when the task is delivered, and the adventurer is responsible for the expenses during the mission, which is why the adventurer cannot save money, and all kinds of materials are too expensive.

[Well done boy! This rich little witch in front of you just wants to use dirty money to corrupt your iron will, and then let you gradually become her captive, and finally let her knead and be toyed with in the palm of her hand! 】

Robben's face twitched twice: You could go into detail about the kneading and palming parts.

【……】

Robben: ?

It was the first time he had succeeded in bringing back the demons in his heart, which opened the door to a new world for him.

'Why don't you speak, do you not understand this knowledge?' ’

[Say it as you know]

"I'm sorry, I really know a lot about the theory - Eva Elfi, Cat Yuzu, Doll, Coach Ji, Luna Liu, you can follow these names to find it, you won't be disappointed." ’

[Cangshan has a well named empty, and the stars fall in the sky and the river reflects the pupils; The small stream spring reflects the flowers, and the Songjiang isolated island has a leaf maple】

'Outdated, demon, are these aunts really watched by anyone now? ’

……

"I see." Emma didn't know that Robben was fighting against the demons in his body at this time...... Signal. She nodded thoughtfully, she didn't think the money was much, but out of respect for the rules of the industry, she still took back the money.

It would be nice to go back and find a chance to compensate him, she thought.

After buying the potion, Robben bought a lot of miscellaneous items, which he put into his storage bag - this small bag he had saved up for a long time to buy, with which the adventure would be much easier, at least without having to carry a lot of stuff around the valley.

"And one last thing." Robben glanced at the shopping list in his hand and found that there was only one last thing missing, and the supplies for entering the forest were all purchased.
