Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Rare Leisure
"All of your truckloads of goods were purchased by this store?" Fang Qiubai couldn't help but ask looking at Varif who was busy moving goods to the Ankara store.
"Mostly, only some need to go to the buyer individually. Variif replied in a moment's time.
"A few first-time visitors to Blue Sword Castle, you might as well go and wander around, this boring cargo delivery job is still a while. Looking at the mercenaries who volunteered to help, and then at Illya and the others, Ankara smiled.
"That's it, there's a lot to buy here, so let's check it out and don't get lost. Variif chimed in.
Since the employer also said so, everyone naturally didn't insist on helping in the same place, so they dispersed and went to visit the customs of this kind of castle in twos and threes, Fang Qiubai of course pulled Illya, and the others naturally didn't choose the same path.
After everyone left, Ankara suddenly asked, "Why didn't you find the mercenary group last time?"
"Hehe, let me tell you, this time I really took a big advantage. Varif's eyebrows fluttered, and he said in detail that he thought that the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group was too expensive, and he was optimistic about the new power of Silver Oak Leaf, so he simply chose to hire the other party, and he also paid special attention to describing the ambush of the killers led by the Thunderwolf Mercenary Group in the desert.
"You mean, that Fang Qiubai and the people around him are immeasurably strong people?" Ankara thought for a few people he saw just now, none of them leaked the aura of a strong man, and asked with some disbelief.
"That is, don't look at the two of them, who are usually amiable and not like powerful people at all, but they are unexpectedly reliable, and even that little girl can summon a huge fire dragon with a wave of a knife. And there is another girl in their mercenary group, and a single stroke of magic can kill thousands of magical beasts" Varif proudly showed off the news that he knew, as if it was done by someone from his own caravan.
"Then those mercenaries under their command can't be so powerful, right?" Ankara asked with some unconvinced, apparently not believing that there was such a person.
"Those people aren't particularly powerful, but have you noticed their uniform armor and weapons? With these quilts, relying on these equipment, they can easily kill the desert giant scorpion. Variif said that the silver oak leaf mercenary was wearing the sand dragon armor, and his eyes glowed.
"I've also discovered that kind of equipment, even I don't want to build. Ankara replied with a solemn nod.
"You can't even build it, and it seems that these armors are not so simple. Okay, let's not talk about that, how is the business lately. Varif was taken aback, and didn't say anything more, but cared about the other party's business.
"It's okay, that's it, but recently there have been a lot of commissioners who have come to build weapons, and I don't know if there is any big event in the road. ”
"I haven't heard of any recent changes, maybe there are missions in mercenary groups or something. ”
"Okay, come on, get the goods done as soon as possible, I still have to rest, today is my rest time. Ankara snapped and reminded.
"Yes, you don't have enough rest, and you're the only one who has three days off when the store opens. I'll have to go to the buyer later, it's a real struggle. Varif looked at Ankara, who had a sleepy expression, and complained.
"You arrange it yourself, my house is still empty anyway, just wait for you to bring those mercenaries to live directly, and other things will be talked about tomorrow." I'm going to sleep. As if possessed by a sleepy insect, Ankara yawned one after another, and finally simply put down the goods in her hand and walked to the store.
"Hey, can't this habit be changed?" Varif sighed, looking at Ankara's back.

On a lively shopping street, a man and a woman are walking side by side hand in hand, looking at the various shops on the street from time to time.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've been so laid-back. Holding Ilya's little hand, Fang Qiubai secretly looked at Illya's face with his spare eyes, and said cautiously in his mouth.
Raising the hand held by Fang Qiubai and shaking it, Illya said playfully, "Are you nervous?"
"Nervous, no, just shopping, how could I be nervous. Fang Qiubai categorically denied, of course, at this time, he couldn't admit that he had never gone shopping with girls.
"Really, do you think this is pretty?" asked Illya, who didn't dig deeper, picking up a butterfly-shaped hair ornament with wings spread out made of countless magic crystals the size of countless grains of rice.
"It's pretty good. Seeing Illya put the crystal-like butterfly hair ornament in her ear and look at herself, Fang Qiubai replied without hesitation.
"The two of you have a good eye, this jewelry made of 99 magic crystals of phantom rats has just arrived today, because the number is scarce and will be sold out in a short time, if you like it, don't miss it. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man, and when he saw the two of them picking up hair accessories, he hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce them.
"Phantom Mouse, what is that?" Fang Qiubai asked curiously.
Illya didn't know what kind of monster this phantom rat was, and turned to the shopkeeper with a questioning look.
"You two should be here for the first time, the Phantom Mouse is a unique magical beast in a place called Foggy Valley next to the Blue Sword Castle. Although it is a level 0 magic beast, it contains magic crystals in its body, and its luster is better than many third-level magic crystals, so it is very popular, especially used to make accessories. However, phantom rats are timid and clever, and it is difficult to catch, so there are very few such jewelry on the market. Seeing that Fang Qiubai was interested, the shopkeeper explained in detail.
"Then how much does this hair accessory cost?" Fang Qiubai asked.
"It's not expensive, it only costs 10,000 gold coins. The shopkeeper stretched out his finger and made a 1, but the words he said jumped for two people.
"Isn't it, it's so expensive? isn't it a level 0 magic crystal?" Illya, who was taken aback, asked as she carefully put down the hair ornament in her hand.
"That's it, the level 4 magic crystal is only 10,000 gold coins, can this manage so much?" Fang Qiubai also didn't expect that the things that the two of them picked up at random in a small shop on the side of the road would be so expensive, could it be that this Blue Sword Castle is not a place where money is not treated as money?
"Although this is only a level 0 magic crystal, the problem is that the phantom mouse is too difficult to catch, level 4 magic beasts, as long as it is a mercenary above level 5, you can also capture it together, but even if you are a level 7 or 8 master, this phantom mouse will drill into the ground hundreds of meters deep as soon as it feels dangerous, and the level of the phantom mouse is low, and there is almost no breath, so there is no way to track it at all, if you really want to talk about it, the difficulty of catching it is more than that of level 4 magic beasts. The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, he didn't tell a lie, this hair ornament is indeed the most expensive in the store, but he didn't expect to be directly picked by the two as soon as he came.
"It's too expensive, let's go. Thinking that the reward for this mission was only 5,000 gold coins, and although he hunted a level 5 desert giant scorpion on the way, it was only 30,000 gold coins, and he felt that the things in front of him were too expensive, Illya pulled Fang Qiubai's hand and said.
"I think this suits you quite well, don't put up with it if you like it, we don't lack such a little money, don't grieve yourself" Fang Qiubai took Illya's hand and said seriously.
"Boss, we want this, but I don't have gold coins, can I use magic crystals to pay for it?" Fang Qiubai pulled inside the space ring, and turned his head a little embarrassed and asked. There was only a little gold coin in his space ring, and because the kind of golden ticket of 30,000 gold coins was promised to be handed over to the mercenary, Fang Qiubai didn't want to use it, although he said that he could make it up at any time.
"Yes, but I don't know how many levels of your magic crystals are there?" The shopkeeper looked at Fang Qiubai with some embarrassment.
"There are two level 4 magic crystals here, you can choose whichever one you want. Fang Qiubai casually threw out two level 4 magic crystals, which he had stored some time ago, and later with the assembly hall, the level 4 magic crystals were no longer important, and they were forgotten in the corner of the space ring like that.
"It's good, I received a level 4 magic crystal, and now this hair accessory belongs to this young lady. The shopkeeper put away one at random, and pushed the other magic crystal and hair accessories towards Fang Qiubai.
Fang Qiubai took the magic crystal and took back the space ring, then picked up the butterfly hair ornament that was shining in the sun, and looked at Illya: "Xiaoya, I'll bring it to you." ”
Illya blushed, closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly, meekly letting Fang Qiubai straighten her long hair, and then put the hair ornament on the diagonal position behind her ears.
"Is it good-looking?" Seeing that Fang Qiubai had put on his hair accessories and was still close to him, Illya asked in a thin voice.
"It's good-looking, Xiaoya looks good in anything, and it's even more beautiful when she wears this, I can't say it's beautiful. Fang Qiubai nodded violently.
Finding that the side was looking at him with a smile on his face, Illya blushed and pulled Fang Qiubai out of the house.
"It's good to be young!" The shopkeeper said with a smile as he watched the two leave, and then quietly waited for the next business to come to the door.
