Changing his attire, Cohen took Weisha and White Shadow into the carriage, and the plain-looking carriage made a big circle according to the old rules before coming to the Royal Road.

It can be seen that Weisha rarely goes out, and she is full of curiosity about many things on the street, and she leans against the car window all the way, and keeps asking Cohen all kinds of questions. The bright appearance and silver bell-like voice attracted the attention of most passers-by. Cohen, who was already with blonde hair, smiled and explained to Weisha, and asked the car to drive slower, so as not to miss the good view.

However, compared to the scenery outside, Wei Sha paid more attention to the white shadow, perhaps because of the keen perception ability of the vampire, Wei Sha always looked at this "maid" with a calm face with puzzled eyes.

During the day, the most lively place in the holy capital is the four markets. The residents of these four municipal levels uV provide daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the items needed by the general public can be bought here. Because the Luo U Chuan X Fang agency regulates the price, the price is very stable.

The shops on the roads around the bazaar specialize in all kinds of high-end luxuries, serving noble officials and even foreign merchants.

"It was a jewelry store. Cohen looked at the sign on the side of the street, remembered that he had never given any gifts to his wives, so he pulled out his money bag: "Weisha, let's go and see if we have a look?"

"Yes!" said Visa nodding, "Brother Cohen, I want a pair of earrings." ”

"Yes, but Grandma can't call me Brother Cohen, and if you call Cohen, other people will know who I am, and that's not fun. Cohen knocked on the carriage to stop the carriage: "Just call me brother." ”

"No wonder my brother is dressed up like this. Weisha smiled and Mimi pinched a strand of Cohen's blonde hair: "Blonde hair and blue eyes, what a weird look!"

"That's what I learned. It's hard to get me to come up with other combinations for a while. Cohen smiled sheepishly, "Besides, you don't have to spend time dressing up, do you?"

"I can help you!" said a hint of slyness in Visha's smile. It also saves people from saying that my sister can't help with anything. ”

"Good. I'm okay with that, and I'll tell them when I get home. Cohen stepped out of the car and said, "Get out of the car, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Seeing the brightly dressed Cohen and Wei Sha getting off the bus outside their store, someone in the store immediately came out to greet them, invited Bai Ying into the lobby with them, and then brought snacks and drinks. Cohen looked around and felt that this place was very different from the jewelry store he remembered, there was not a single piece of jewelry, and the furnishings around him looked like a large living room.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. A man who looked like a boss walked up quickly: "The jewelry in our store is very exquisite, I wonder what kind of jewelry you need?"

Cohen glanced at Versa, "A set of everyday wear." One set for luncheon, and another set for evening. ”

"The guests were in the right place. The boss rubbed his hands together and replied with a smile on his face: "Please come here, we have hundreds of jewelry you need, you can choose as much as you want." If you are not satisfied, we can also customize it according to your requirements. ”

Entering the inner hall, the boss asked the clerk to bring out a dozen sets of jewelry placed on a silver plate for Cohen to choose. But Cohen has long been accustomed to seeing the best ornaments in the court, and naturally he doesn't look down on such third-rate goods. swept his eyes, and he didn't even have the desire to pick it up to see the color, and he was disappointed.

"Are the guests dissatisfied?" said the boss with a smile who had been observing, "It doesn't matter." There are even better products in our store. ”

"Then take it out. Cohen couldn't help but fret, "We don't have much time. ”

"But in terms of price......," the boss reminded, "it's probably more than three times that of ordinary jewelry." ”

"Tell you to take it out, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Although Cohen was not angry. But his words still revealed a majestic momentum, the boss couldn't help but tremble, nodded and smiled, and hurriedly beckoned the clerk to take out a few more sets of jewelry. These sets of jewelry are better than the ones just now, but neither the workmanship nor the selection of materials meet the standards that Cohen needs.

"That's the kind of quality you have in your store?" Cohen picked up a necklace and shook it, then turned back to Weisha and said, "Forget it, let's take a look at another one." ”

"Guests, please stay. Seeing that Cohen was leaving, the boss couldn't help but feel anxious, because when the economy was recovering, there were not many customers who were willing to spend a lot of money to buy jewelry, and only a fool would let go of a big customer: "It's not that our store doesn't have the best jewelry, it's because we don't know what kind of jewelry the customers need." If the guests need to wear jewelry for the nobles, we have one for the sake of it. The customer doesn't know yet, right? This store is one of the three major jewelry stores in the Holy Capital, and most of the nobles order jewelry in this store. ”

"Then why didn't you take it out sooner?" Cohen was a little curious: "Don't want to do business?"

"No, because noble ornaments are generally custom-made, which is quite time-consuming, and requires guests to show their noble badges. The boss explained, "If the customer wants to order, we can provide the drawing." ”

"Get your samples out. Cohen reached into his pocket and pulled out a badge, which he casually threw on the table: "It's so troublesome to buy things, you really don't know how to be flexible." ”

"I beg your pardon, this is stipulated by the laws of the Empire. When the boss saw that Cohen really took out the badge, he changed his name at that time: "It turns out that the Lord is the Viscount of Yinyue Lake, and if you are disrespectful, you still want Lord Haihan." ”

Knowing that he was going to run away from home often, his majesty Cohen prepared a lot of identities, from businessmen to civil officials, from nobles to generals, all of whom were well-documented. The badge that is being thrown out now is just one of Cohen's full set of identities.

Because Cohen's full set of identities was prepared with the help of Princess Winsley, the titles in it are all place names that are closely related to the two people. And what about Silvermoon Lake! It was when she was in the Elven Forest that Winsley used to take Cohen to see the fireflies that the small lake was not far from Winsley's room.

"Your Excellency, please look at this set of jewelry. The boss carefully took out a brocade box: "This set of jewelry is made in a traditional way, the materials are quite exquisite, and the gems on it come from the dark forest. It's no longer available. ”

"Gems of the Dark Forest?" Cohen picked up the necklace with the most gems. Gently touch those pale blue gemstones with your fingers. Feel a little coolness from your fingertips: "This, it's a magic crystal?"

"Adults have good eyesight. The boss gave a thumbs up: "This is indeed a magic crystal, produced in the main mine of the Dark Forest, with water attributes. If you look at this color, this shape, it can be said to be one in a hundred. If you want to make this set to order, we will use the same ingredients. ”

"Wouldn't it be a bit extravagant to use this ingredient for jewelry?" Cohen smiled, "I heard that this thing is a forbidden item. ”

"Trading is prohibited now, and our store purchases once a year. The gems were purchased before the war, so they were not illegal. The boss hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency can ask your colleagues or friends, among the nobles nowadays, who does not have a few sets of such jewelry at home? Such a rare gemstone just sets off the identity of the adult, and it has always been in short supply." ”

"Is it pretty?" Cohen turned his head and showed the necklace to Versa, "If you like, we'll order one." ”

"Don't. "Yesa is a ghost elf," she looked into Cohen's eyes, pouted slightly, and put the necklace back in the brocade box: "These are the leftovers of magic crystals. If you wear it to a party, you will be laughed at. ”

"Did you hear that?" Cohen looked at his boss, "My sister isn't satisfied." ”

"Yes, sir. Then take a look at this set. The boss opened another box: "This is not any leftover, the whole pear-shaped fiery red gem, with the bright face of this young lady, must be the center of attention at any party...... Miss, this set of jewelry is simply hard to come by, and the magical energy contained in the gems is enough to deal with a team of hundreds. ”

"Brother, this person laughs at me. Wasa pulled Cohen's sleeve and coquettishly said, "It's a young lady, but he gives me the lady's jewelry......"

Cohen almost laughed out loud, patted Weisha's hand and comforted him softly: "It's okay, watch my brother clean him up." Then he turned around and grabbed the boss by the collar and dragged him to his side: "Are you kidding me? Believe it or not, I ordered all the people to demolish your shop?"

"No, please forgive the adults, the little ones don't mean that way—how can we offend the guests?"

"And you say no, try to fool me with something that doesn't sit on the table. Cohen's temper didn't change much when he bought things, and the shopkeeper shook his hand at the moment, and said viciously: "It seems that you don't have any good things in the store, so don't do it!"

The shopkeeper was so miserable that he couldn't even breathe, but he didn't dare to struggle. In the current Sbia Empire, this newly promoted aristocracy is sloppy and impolite, but no one dares to mess with them, because these guys usually make people laugh and cry. But he can't come up with the best things, those special things are only regular customers, and the faces of the first meeting don't know the details, and they can't be received anyway.

"It's a coincidence. At this moment, a voice sounded at the door of the inner hall: "It turns out that the boss is receiving guests, so I'll wait outside." ”

The man who spoke was clever enough to interject with a sentence that didn't seem good, interrupting Cohen's violent movements without embarrassing both sides.

"Who?" Cohen heard who the voice was, so he turned around and winked at the doorman: "Didn't you see Viscount Silvermoon Lake doing something here?"

Standing by the door was the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army of Spia, Lieutenant General Karros, who was dressed in civilian clothes and now looked at Cohen's straight hair.

"Help...... The owner ...... the shopkeeper wanted to get rid of Cohen's control, but he didn't dare to push too hard.

"It turned out to be Your Excellency the Lieutenant General. Cohen let go of the man he was holding, so he clapped his hands relaxedly: "Why, this is your shop?"

"Your Excellency, Viscount. Carlos figured out the situation and walked up very cooperatively: "You can eat this food indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I'm just a customer here...... If this word reaches His Majesty the Emperor, I am not very wronged?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about this, does he?" Cohen chuckled, "Your Majesty is so busy, how can you care about these little things." ”

"Hey, it's not good to let the Overseer of the Interior know!" Karos sighed, "Haven't you heard, Your Excellency? The reproachful look of any imperial concubine is enough to match an army of 100,000. ”

"Yo! This is a nice compliment, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff should personally tell the Superintendent of Internal Affairs!" Cohen smiled in his heart, "Why, Your Excellency the General Staff Officer has also come to order jewelry?"

"Yes, because it is jewelry with special requirements. So it needs to be customized. Colleagues say that the handiwork here is very good. Carlos turned to his boss and said, "Are you done?" ”

The boss had been waiting for him for a long time. He hurriedly replied, "It's done, it's done, so I'll take it out for you." ”

Cohen sat down beside Visa and waited with interest to see Carlos' custom-made jewelry.

After a while, the boss walked in with a plain locket, followed by several sturdy clerks. After handing the box to Carlos, the boss immediately stood far away, for fear that Cohen would catch him again.

Carlos opens the wooden box. Nodding his head, he asked the boss satisfied, "How much?"

"Back to my lord, ten silver coins. ”

Hearing the price, Cohen's curiosity was aroused, and when he was about to lean over to look at it, Carlos had already handed over the box...... The jewelry in the box is a ring, although it is finely made, but the raw material is very ordinary, that is, a smooth silver ring with an ordinary gemstone set on it.

"That's right, right?" Cohen looked at the ring puzzledly, "if I'm not mistaken." Lieutenant General Carlos, you are the Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army! You have gone to great lengths to come here. Just for this one ring?"

"Yes!" replied Carlos, "I wanted to find a random jewelry store, but when a few of my colleagues heard that I was going to make jewelry, they were very enthusiastic to accompany me here, and seeing that they were so enthusiastic, I could not refuse." ”

"I don't mean that! I know you're still single, and it's normal to order jewelry for your sweetheart. Cohen couldn't help but laugh, "But with such ordinary jewelry, your courtship must be very difficult." ”

Weisha covered her mouth and smiled.

"Courtship, to whom?" said Carlos, blankly, "This is for my mother, and her birthday is approaching." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cohen and Weisha were at a loss.

In terms of military rank, Carlos was a lieutenant general, and there was only Martin in the entire empire. Luther was superior to him, and in terms of position, he was the highest-ranking person in the military system, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor, how could he buy such ordinary jewelry for his mother?

"Even if it's for my mother, this kind of jewelry is too ordinary, isn't it?" Cohen grabbed a handful of previous samples, "I need these things!"

"How can I afford those jewels to cost a few dozen gold coins each?" Carlos shook his head, "I think it's good enough, and my mother is not a picky person, and she'll be happy to do that—of course, I don't mean to accuse you of being picky." ”

"I said Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, your salary is quite a lot, right?" Cohen sighed: "Plus you work in the military department and have a special royal allowance, you should be able to afford it. ”

"Well, that's a lot, but every month I have to take out a part to help the family members of my colleagues who sacrificed my colleagues, and there is not much left, plus I just moved to the Holy Capital, so I need to add a lot of things...... Where you can save, it's better to save some. ”

"But the families of the fallen soldiers have pensions, so it should be fine, right?" Cohen's curiosity was brought up again.

"Your Excellency, the life of a family is difficult and trivial, especially after losing the pillars, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything has to cost money. Carlos smiled wryly and explained: "Many wives who have lost their husbands can't live their lives alone with their children, right?

"Yes, Your Excellency has only been promoted to lieutenant general for a month, and your previous salary was not very good. Listening to Carlos's words, and then looking at the ordinary ring in his hand, Cohen was sad for a while, and hooked his finger at the shopkeeper: "You come here." ”

The shopkeeper approached tremblingly, and asked Carlos, "Lieutenant General, is this your friend?"

"Yes, definitely. Carlos nodded and said, "You'd better satisfy this lord, it's good for your business." ”

"So. The shopkeeper said to Cohen worriedly, "Please give me orders, and the small ones will satisfy the adults." ”

"I'm not satisfied with any of that, so I'll take the best stuff out of your store. Cohen glanced at the boss and said, "If you dare to play your cleverness, I will really close your shop." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The boss had already guessed what the Viscount of Silver Moon Lake was going to say: "Since he is a friend of the lieutenant general, of course the small shop does not dare to hide his secrets, please wait for the lord, and this will take out the treasure of the store for the lord." ”

In the expectant gaze of several people, the boss reappeared, but this time he was followed by a cart with magic seals on the unusually strong metal plates of the body.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these things are not allowed to be shown to guests who are not particularly honorable. The boss kept pleading, "It's okay if you don't like it, but please keep it a secret for you." ”

"Why is all this nonsense?" Cohen was annoyed, "open it quickly." ”

"Everyone, please see, these three sets of jewelry were made a year ago, the brainchild of our technicians, and the names are Light Moon, Blue Water, and Yiguang. The boss lifted the lid and even Cohen himself was attracted by the jewelry in the car: "If the customer is not satisfied, then I can guarantee that there is no jewelry store in the Holy Capital that can meet your requirements." ”

"These gems are rare. Cohen nodded, "Where did you come from?"

"Please look at this set of shallow moons, the magic crystals on it are from the Bansai Empire, a very rare whole wind system magic crystal, adults, you can look at the color of each gem, and you can also try their magical attributes, you will know the truth of what I said." The boss pointed to the most chic set of jewelry: "If nothing else, it took two months to polish the gemstones...... This set of jewelry is best worn in the summer, or in a hot place, without any magic chanting, and naturally there is a cool breeze around the body. ”

"If it's worn by a woman who knows magic, it can also be blessed with magic, right?" asked Visha softly as she asked.

"Of course, miss. The shopkeeper smirked to himself, "However, ordinary magicians can't afford it. ”

"How much does it cost?" asked Visha.

"Two thousand gold coins. The boss stretched out two fingers and said without blinking, "One less child is an insult to this set of jewelry." ”

Cohen remembered his pursuit of Deere. Merlin's time, her family heirloom jewelry was only a few hundred gold coins, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, pointing to another set of jewelry and asking, "This is blue water?"

"Yes, my lord, this set is indeed blue water. Seeing that the viscount's demeanor was relatively peaceful, the boss also put his mind at ease: "The above water-based magic crystal comes from the Omatu Empire, which is different from the water-based magic crystal of our Sibia Empire, although the magic energy is not as good as that produced in our country, but the color is purer and brighter, and it is the best in jewelry and gemstones. If you take it with you, your skin and hair will never dry out. In terms of price, it's 3,000 gold coins. ”

"So what's the name of this set of overflow?"

"The only magic crystal produced in the Tanxi Empire is scarce, and they control it quite strictly, and the price is more than five thousand gold coins. ”

"That's weird. Cohen touched his chin and said, "Since it's strictly controlled, how can you get it?"

"My lord, this is a businessman's secret!" said the boss with a wry smile, "We are counting on this for dinner!"

"Falsely, the sum of the three sets of jewelry is 10,000 gold coins, and ordinary nobles are afraid that they are beyond the reach of the dust. No matter how good things are, they can't be sold, and they are no different from scrap metal. ”

"Don't hide it, my lord, these three sets of jewelry were originally specially made by our store for the three princes of the empire, and I didn't think about selling them. The boss smiled and said, "It's just that the adults are not satisfied with the other jewelry, so they can't take it out." ”

"Your Royal Highness?" Karos interjected, "do you think the princes will accept it, and you are not at all worried about telling us such a secret matter?"

"Anyway, the two adults have seen it, and maybe they will find this kind of jewelry on the prince's family in the future, and there is no secret to speak of. The boss sighed: "This is a little bit of the heart of my shop, and no one dares to guarantee whether the princes will accept this gift or not." But I am a merchant who has no status at all, and I am doing business in the Holy Capital, so I must fulfill my royal courtesies!"

Cohen and Carlos looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud. (To be continued......)
