Chapter 5 Towns

Xiling City, the third largest city in the Jialan Empire, was divided into several large districts by canals. To the south is the Trade Zone, which as the name suggests is a place for everyone to trade goods, and many large chambers of commerce are located here, to the north is the dock area, which has the largest port on the mainland, and that maritime trade is also very prosperous, to the east is the Military Zone, where the military camps and training grounds are established, and to the west is the Mage District and the residence of the nobles.

Led by Nabot, everyone came to a chamber of commerce in the trade area. "Welcome, my old friend. The middle-aged uncle who spoke thought he was obese walked over and grabbed Nabot's hand with difficulty and said, "The Tony Chamber of Commerce is willing to serve you." "Tony, you're getting richer. Nabot laughed. Tony agreed, "Thanks to the support of old friends, your goods are only so popular, and the nobles are only so fond of your big fish." "President Tony, lunch is ready. A servant walked in and said to Tony. "Everyone, you've been tired of driving and riding these days, and you've prepared some coarse tea and light rice, so let's come together if you don't dislike it. Tony said to Nabot and his party, "The residence is also ready, and the matter of counting the goods will be handled by the next person." When Nabot heard this, he led the people out with him.

When everyone was seated, the servants began to set the delicacies on the table. "In a hurry, the hospitality is not good, and I would like to invite you Haihan. Tony waved his hand and said, "After the door closes at night, I will be good to pick up the wind for you." "Old friends are so polite, our purpose is not to play, let's just talk about it." Nabot interrupted Tony's polite remarks. Tony wasn't angry, still with that honest smile: "Okay, old friend." found a few people to count the goods, and put everything else down first. Tony turned to the servant and said, "When everyone is rested, come to me in the warehouse and discuss the details together." With that, he moved his fat body and left.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat, and we'll help later, and get back as soon as possible, staying outside is not as good as staying at home!" Nabot said vaguely, chewing on the food in his mouth. "What is this, so delicious, this is delicious. Could it be that people in big cities eat such delicious food every day? "Oshous's mouth was stuffed with food. "Only the aristocracy can enjoy this food every day, and most people still can't afford it, and this meal is more than their expenses in a month. A villager explained to the newcomer Oshous.

After everyone finished eating, they were led by Nabot to the warehouse. A few subordinates quickly sorted, weighed, and packed the goods they brought with Nabot, and it was a busy scene. Nabot looked around, found Tony, and walked straight over. "Tony, we're here to help too, and it's a thank you for the delicious food. Nabot said as he looked at Tony, who was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. "What a great favor for me, old friend. Tony put away his handkerchief and took Nabot's hand and said, "Then please." This is my daughter Irene, and she's in charge of taking care of you. Irene next to her nodded. Nabot then took a list out of his pocket and said, "Old friend, this is what we need to bring back. As he spoke, he handed the list in his hand to him. Tony took it and looked at it roughly, and said, "This little thing is on me, and it will be ready by noon tomorrow at the latest." After a few more pleasantries, the two sides prepared to get to work.

At this time, Nabot said to Oshous and Mira beside him: "You two little ones haven't been here yet, why don't you take the opportunity to go outside, and it doesn't hurt for young people to have more knowledge." "Great, uncle, you're amazing!" Oshous jumped up with excitement, and Mira couldn't hide the joy on her face. Nabot continued, "Listen to Mira when you go out, and come back before dark." Mira and Oshous snapped twice. Seeing Nabot leave, Oshous asked Mira, "Go quickly, go quickly, if you don't go, it will be dark." "By the way, uncle, I have a stone here, and I don't know where to sell it. Oshous said as he took the crystal from his bosom and handed it out. Tony took it and looked at it a few times, and said, "It's really a beautiful crystal, how about selling it to me?" A gold coin, do you think the price is appropriate?" Oshous asked a little puzzled: "Uncle, what can you buy with this gold coin? Can you buy a piece of cake?" Oshous remembered the expression on Mila eating cake at the table just now. "Of course, no problem, the most delicious cakes are only a few silver coins, and you can buy twenty delicious cakes. Tony laughed, then said, "I've already changed the change for you here." With that, he handed a dozen silver coins to Osius. "Thank you, uncle. After saying that, he pulled Mira and left quickly.

"President, this thing is only a few silver coins at most, isn't it too much?" asked Xia Lin beside him. Tony said disapprehantly, "It's not a bad thing to suffer properly, and we haven't suffered either." Just sell them a favor. ”

Not to mention the conversation between the two. Oshous and Mira came to the street at this time, looking at the rows of shops and dazzling goods, and the two didn't know where to start for a while. After wandering around like this for a while, passing by a decoration shop, Osius stopped and said, "Either we can go in and have a look, and we can't keep walking." Without saying a word, he took Mira inside.

"What a beautiful thing. Mira looked back and forth at the little glittering things, and finally stopped at a hairpin with five green leaves and a pale blue gem in the middle.

Mira was about to pick it up and take a closer look at it, when a middle-aged shopkeeper interrupted: "This little guy is worth fifteen silver coins, but you can't afford to buy it, and it's not enough to break it and sell you." Looking at the menacing shopkeeper, Mira was so frightened that she hid behind Oshous. Oshous looked at the frightened Mira and said, "Who told you that we can't afford it, this is money, put it on me." With that, he gave the store the silver coins.

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it carefully, it was a genuine silver coin, and immediately put on a lewd smile and said, "Of course, the customer is God, and the villain will wrap it for you." Dare to ask customers if there is anything else they need, the goods in the small shop are the most complete and the most affordable. "Be careful, don't break it, it's not something you can afford to accompany." Oshous sent back what he had just said, and then said, "Princess Mira, what else do you want?" Before Mira could recover from the fright, she quickly shook her head.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble, and he must have really provoked the big guys. After a while, the shopkeeper handed the beautifully packaged box to Osius and said, "The villain was not well entertained just now, I hope the two adults don't go to their hearts, this is an extra gift from the shop, I hope the adults like it." As he spoke, he handed over another box. Oshous took it and left without looking back, not caring for the terrified shopkeeper behind him.

The afternoon passed like this, the afterglow cast a golden shade over the water, and the moon peeked out of the clouds. The two of them took a nap on a bench by the river. "That's right, Mira. Oshous got up and stood up, and Mira asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Oshous was a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, how to say, it's Mira's birthday in just a few days, and I'm thinking about what gift to give, so, so, that's it." After saying that, he put the two exquisite gift boxes in Mira's hands, and then sat down with Mira on his back. "Thank you, Oshous. I'll give you a gift too. Mira whispered.

At this time, the street was shrouded in night, and the two dragged their tired bodies and began to return to their residence.

"Ouch, how do you walk, don't you have eyes. At this time, a shrill voice reached the ears of the two of them, and there was no one else around, which suddenly looked a little weird. "Fool, take your feet away, you're out of breath. Then the voice rang out. Osius looked at the ground at this time, and saw that he was stepping on something, and quickly raised his leg to help the thing on the ground up. "Phew, I thought I was going to be killed by you, idiot. The little guy on the ground said. Oshous looked at it, and his appearance was not much different from that of a child, except that he was more petite, much shorter than the Qiulin he had seen before.

"How dare you be so unreasonable to the great dwarf explorer Chris Explorer, you will be punished, fools. The gnome, who called himself Chris, said, "Tell me an interesting legend and I'll forgive you for your stupidity." "We have lived in the village of Elbida since we were children, we have not heard of any legends, I'm really sorry Chris, we can't help you. Mira said. It's a coincidence, Chris thought to himself that he was going to the same place, and he met two locals, and his two little eyes kept wandering, and then he said to the two: "Then be it, I'm going to visit your village in a while, then you will be my guide, and I will forgive you." Seeing no threat from Chris, Mira agreed, saying, "My name is Mira, and he is Oshous, and he will come to us when the time comes, but there is nothing interesting about the village." "Then it's a matter of course, I've got other things to do first. Chris just walked away.

"We should go back too, or Uncle Nabot will be worried again. Hearing this, Oshous nodded hurriedly. The two returned to their accommodation in the company of night, and tomorrow was the day of their return.
