Chapter 67: Heavy Rain [2/2]
"Good morning, Lovieve!"
Nina looked at the red-haired girl with two ponytails who opened the door for her, lazily wiping her eyes and holding an unclosed book in her hand.
Nina said hello, her breathing still carrying the clammy white mist of the morning, which seemed to loom like fog in the not very bright sky.
At this time, the sleepy-eyed Loviv looked surprised and happy to see Nina, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.
A spirit hurriedly returned the salute.
"Good day, Nina!"
She obviously forgot about the sewer before, and grabbed Nina's little hand, and said it to herself.
"Nina, what are you here to sell this time? This trip out of the city must be very rewarding! Is it a terrible gnoll or a troll? Have you seen the legendary evil dragon?"
Not long after she first met Nina, she kept yelling, and before Nina could think about how to talk to her, Fran Willow in the back room was startled by Lovavie's voice.
"Lotvieve! I heard you chirping in the back room!"
She reprimanded in that soft voice, and Loviv immediately closed her mouth, she went back to skip work yesterday and was not criticized by Sister Fran for a day!
The half-elf spellcaster had just finished meditating, and she walked slowly, and when she saw Nina soaked in the rain, she hurriedly blessed her with a spell to keep her warm.
Only then did he bend down and look at Nina in front of him.
"Welcome to Fran's alchemy shop, Miss Nina, what good goods do you want to sell this time, I will definitely give you a good price!"
There was a playfulness in her tone, full of teasing the dragonborn girl in front of her.
It made Nina's face red, and she quickly waved her hand and whispered.
"No, Ms. Willow, I'm not here to sell materials. ”
"Instead, I want to buy some spell scrolls and some alchemical potions. ”
"Oh?"
"Did you run out of the last one?"
Fran Willow looked curiously at the girl who had thousands of gold coins and still hadn't put on a new set of clothes.
Nina bowed her head and didn't make a sound, and Fran Willow knew that she shouldn't have asked, so she hurriedly snorted.
"Then what are you going to buy this time? How many rings of spell scrolls? It's too high, I don't have ...... here."
Her tone was soft and patient, and even an impatient savage could not help but calm down when he heard her words. ,
"Hmm...... A lot, Ms. Willow, may you let me see. ”
Nina asked tentatively as she held the dimensional bag in her heart.
Although Mr. Gordon had told her what she was going to buy, the price of a spell scroll was no cheaper than a spell book.
It was still unknown if it would be enough, so she chose to wait and see, after all, spell scrolls also had priority.
"Nina, I've said it many times, like Lovive, just call me Sister Fran, come with me, the spell scroll is inside!"
Fran Vero said helplessly, this Nina is good at everything, but she is too restrained.
She made a sideways motion and asked the Dragonborn Maiden to go into the back room to pick up, where she had space to store spell scrolls.
Spell scrolls are always stored with care, and are not placed in a place where they can be seen in the alchemy shop.
Seeing Nina like this, the clever half-elf shopkeeper knew that something might have happened to her, requiring a large number of spell scrolls and potions.
However, at most, she will look at the well-behaved sake of this dragonborn girl, and make a little discount to make herself earn less, as for the rest, as long as she doesn't speak, she won't ask more.
Loviv saw the two of them enter the back room again, and wanted to follow in, but as soon as she entered, no one at the front desk looked at the store.
Given that she had angered Sister Fran yesterday, Loviv decided to continue to sit at the front desk and wait for the next adventurer to come to her door.
Wait until Nina comes out of the back room where the scrolls are stored.
Loviv had flipped through one of the closing chapters of The Mad Lich's Adventure House, and was moved by the lich's loyal love affair with the knight's lady, when she was alarmed by Nina's footsteps.
and Fran Willow's voice from the back room.
"Lotvie, you help get the alchemy potion, it's in the third box on the left hand side behind the front desk, be careful, there's blazing glue in it, don't break it!"
She wiped the tears that had just overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and quickly jumped down from the high stool at the front desk, took the alchemy list handed over by Nina, and asked while looking for the materials on the list.
"Nina, are you leaving?"
"Well, Loviv, I'm sorry for you. ”
"It's all right! If only you had time to tell me the story of your adventures! I'd love to be part of the adventure, but ......"
"Alas~"
Loviv sighed at this, a little discouraged.
When she woke up yesterday and found herself in the sewers, the deep and terrifying environment made her dare not think about taking risks herself.
Sometimes, it's one thing to think, and when you really get to the scene, you realize how ridiculous your so-called courage is.
Sure enough, his father was right, cowards are not fit to take over the authority of the Guardian.
"Well, I'll tell you when I have the chance, but it's just like a normal story, nothing special. ”
Nina looked at Lovive's expression carefully, it didn't seem to be fake, and there was no problem with Fran Verlo's attitude towards herself today.
So the hanging heart was put down, and he said half-truthfully.
Then he stood aside and watched as Loviv followed the list to select alchemy items.
The rain outside was unconsciously a lot heavier, and when Nina fixed the potions and the like in a small box and put them in the dimensional bag, she pushed open the door and it was already pouring rain.
Rainwater collects in the streets and forms a river, rushing like a river to the iron fence entrance to the sewer.
"Why don't you wait for the rain to light down before you go, Nina. ”
Loviv stood in the doorway, looking at the embarrassed pedestrians from the rainstorm, and whispered admonishment.
"No, I'll go first, please help me say goodbye to Lady Willow. ”
Nina looked at the rain outside the door, worried that it would get heavier and heavier, and it would not be good to wait until it was too late to return.
So, holding the little silver-haired head, as if he had just come, he ran into the rain and ran in the direction of the black street, splashing water.
Loviv wanted to say something, but could only watch Nina's back get farther and farther away from her, and she couldn't speak for a while.
......
When Celia walked to the Adventurers' Guild, the door of the Guild was filled with adventurers waiting to accept the commission, and the number of people was much larger than last time.
She chose a relatively remote corner to stand, and looked at these adventurers who suddenly appeared with some confusion.
This number has skyrocketed by more than 50% compared to when she was here to accept the commission before.
"How can there be so many more people?
However, she soon learned why.
Flender, the little boy that the Durune family had put on a bounty to find, was found in the sewers, and it was the nezumi who did it.
So the Durune family was in their absence.
In the Adventurers' Guild, a rat-man commission to clean the sewers was issued, and the pay was very good.
Yesterday was the last day to redeem rewards, so there are so many adventurers today.
For some adventurers, cleaning up the sewers is just a simple vacation~, and now is the time to get down to business.
Wilderness, mountains, dense forests, deep valleys, ruins and monuments, all the barren and uninhabited places in the Io continent are their real battlefields.
These are just hors d'oeuvres.
Celia couldn't help but be stunned, hiding in the sewers, that person was so lucky.
If she had two thousand gold coins, it would be enough to take Nina and the head of the regiment to a small kingdom to buy a territory.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were more and more adventurers, all taking shelter from the eaves of the roof, but no one on Celia's side dared to approach it.
The black-robed spellcaster, although she was very young from the faintly leaking white skin, exuded a dangerous aura all over her body, as well as an inexplicable dancing wind.
Quite a few people would rather huddle with some ordinary adventurers than get close to Celia's side at all.
Finally, when the rain reached a certain level, it squeak~.
The door to the Adventurers' Guild has finally opened......
--"Boom!"
A muffled thunder rang out, and the rain in the sky was heavier, and the smell of fishy smell permeated the entire street.
Pale pink blood rain poured down into the sewers......
