Just as Gordon waited for night to fall on Rika Island.

Nina, who had Celia by the arm, was already wearing a new dress she had just bought from Aunt Ville's children's clothing shop, a linen shirt and suspender trousers, and a well-fitting deerskin boots, and walked with joy and curiosity on the busiest street of the Karando trade district.

Kindler Boulevard, they're here on a mission.

Kindler Avenue is home to not only the most flavorful food and services in the world, but also the vital trade of weapons, armor, materials, adventurer equipment, information, and more.

Therefore, even with the measures of the holy knights to lock down the city, the flow of people here is still amazing, at least before noon in the morning, it is already bustling.

Nina's dress is very plain and inconspicuous in the crowd.

Her dress is more androgynous, no different from the kids in the downtown area who walk through the streets.

For the silver hair of the manicured shawl, which looked supple, and the white and delicate countenance, had been concealed by a wide apprentice's hat.

Aside from those terrifying vertical pupils, Nina didn't have anything else to attract attention.

The two marched down Kindler Street, toward the goal of their trip.

They had already been to Ogmar's Temple of Knowledge in the temple area in the morning, but they didn't have a certain contribution in the temple.

As a result, what they were able to recover was limited beyond the ordinary background information and experience of Golmotan.

However, this problem was solved after Celia donated a shiny enough cutie to the Ogma Temple.

And the priest of the temple was very kind to find a record of the deeds of the legendary traveling mage Golmotan, and they soon got the information that Gordon wanted.

And then come out later. The two returned to the bloody Black Street, and under Nina's investigation, they knew the exact location of the kobolds' lair in the Black Street.

They went to a nearby house to find a buyer, and although the black street was dangerous, the house was still protected by the gang.

However, what the two didn't expect was that the transaction of the house in the black street was not in the black street.

It's the Night Raven Tavern at 119 Kindler Avenue corner.

The person behind the scene is said to be in charge of the transaction of real estate in Black Street on a part-time basis, so the two went to Kindler Avenue in the trade area.

The two walked on the ground paved with yellow bricks and stones, shuttling through the flow of people, with different expressions.

Nina's eyes were full of curiosity and happiness, looking left and right, and from time to time carefully twisting the crumbs on the clothes, although it was just a simple and simple new dress, but she was really satisfied, she was easily satisfied.

Both before and now.

And Celia's eyes were more helpless and distressed, and her expression was complicated, Celia originally wanted to use her own money to buy Nina a few beautiful clothes.

For example, dresses, long skirts and other clothing, no matter how bad it is, it is the same as her, a slim mage robe, Nina wants to become a spellcaster, she knows.

But after Nina looked at the price, she said that she didn't want anything.

Even if Celia insists that the money is not Gordon's, don't do it!

Although Nina didn't say why, Celia could tell from her eyes that she was reluctant because the clothes were too expensive.

Nina is too sensible, which makes Celia sad.

And in Nina's heart, it's feeling.

After buying a new dress like hers, she also said a good word to the shopkeeper at the checkout, and after the discount, she was about to ask for two gold coins, not to mention anything else.

This sum of money.

As for her, she still prefers to use the money to make Mr. Gordon's bed more comfortable than to buy new clothes.

Although there are very few, they gather sand into a tower.

As long as the gold coins in the underground cave do not disappear and increase unabated, then her dream of filling her gold coin warehouse is not far away.

The reason why Celia's money is not used is because whether it is Celia or Gordon's money, in her eyes, it is equally important.

However, this is just one of the reasons why Nina thinks about saving money all the time.

The more important reason is that Gordon is too good at spending money, more than a thousand gold coins, and before he can even get along, he has flowed into the alchemy shop.

This made Nina dare not spend money at all, and planned to save all of it for Gordon as much as possible.

Anyway, Nina feels a strange feeling now.

Anyone who buys items for himself will not be able to spend an extra silver coin.

But when she bought a spell scroll for Mr. Gordon, she could do it without blinking, and spend a few hundred gold coins without feeling distressed at all.

It's a strange but comforting feeling.

Now that she can walk on the street decently, she is no longer embarrassed, and she is already very satisfied.

Her vertical pupils could be filled with curiosity at all the novelties of Kindler Street without fear of being chased.

Just as she was looking around, she was just passing by the shop and the alley in which she was attracted by a voice in the alley.

"Can anyone help me? The gods will bless you, can you give me some money? I'm hungry! I'm penniless!"

An old man with a somewhat familiar voice came from inside, Nina was a spirit, like the voice of Grandma Oran!

She took a few steps back in disbelief before she could see the full picture of the alley speaker.

But the look of disappointment on his face couldn't help but overflow.

It was an elderly beggar in ragged clothes, lying on the ground, moaning at Nina, the black dirt on her face almost covering her wrinkled face, and it was impossible to tell her gender if it wasn't for her voice.

For some reason, Nina suddenly had the desire to talk to her and did not choose to leave.

Perhaps the voice was too similar to the voice of Grandma Oran she remembered.

She said to the beggar, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes, little girl, can you give me some money? a little, I'm hungry. ”

Nina hesitated for a moment, then disappeared directly into the alley's view, and just when the old beggar thought that this little girl was as indifferent as the people before her, Nina came back with a large pile of roll bread.

Although roll bread is not as soft and delicious as white bread, it is cheap and tastes good, and it is the staple food of many Calando civilians.

She put the little bread mountain in front of the beggar and said with a distressed face.

"No, it's all for you!"

"It's a little bread I bought with all my money! It's delicious! I've got it all for you! I can only help you so much! May the gods bless you, old woman!"

The beggar seemed to be stunned by Nina's operation, and muttered a little.

"But I don't like to eat bread the most!"

However, the voice was very small, and Nina couldn't hear it clearly, so she asked more.

"What did you say, old woman?"

"I said the bread was delicious, I loved it!"

The beggar seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said.

"If you like it, I used to like this! Goodbye old woman!"

Nina smiled brightly at the beggar's words, but she didn't plan to continue the conversation, Sister Celia was still waiting for her outside!

So, after putting down the bread, she ran away without waiting for the old beggar to continue talking.

It was indeed Nina's own silver coin, which she had exchanged for when she was collecting materials in the sewers, and had kept it, originally intended to be used as a reserve for Gordon, but today she spent it all in one go.

She didn't have too many regrets on her face, looked at the alley, and then took the initiative to take Celia's little hand, and said to her with a hint of melancholy on her little face.

"Sister, let's go!"

Celia smiled helplessly, knowing that she thought of the time in the orphanage again, she nodded and squeezed Nina's little hand.

The two figures drifted apart, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

And in that alley, the voice of the beggar gradually disappeared with the crowd, and the figure disappeared into the alley, as well as the large bag of rolled bread.

Kindler Avenue is very long, the beggar incident just now is just a small episode, halfway through, Nina returns to her original appearance again, looking around curiously, Kindler Avenue in Karando, you can see traders of all races, adventurers, and even plane merchants will come here to trade.

Dragonborn adventurers, Nina has seen several, but they are all two or three meters tall half-dragons, these half-dragons in fine armor and weapons, with indifferent vertical pupils on the streets of Kindler scanned the surroundings, and the adventurers around them will more or less keep their distance from these half-dragons.

This discriminatory attitude Nina already knew what it was, it was the awe of the strong! So, this is also the reason why she studied spells day and night.

Only by becoming stronger can you gain the respect of those people, especially in this dangerous continent of Io, powerful adventurers, in the hearts of the residents, the status is comparable to that of a city lord or even a king!

Just as Nina was immersed in the strange objects in the Karando Trade Zone, Celia's reminder came from her ears and palms.

"Nina, it's almost there, go left, not forward!"

Nina woke up from a dream and hurriedly walked to the left, but her head still unconsciously looked to the left.

Just now she saw an earthy yellow drake with no wings, thick hind limbs, short forelimbs, and a large head.

He was riding by a man with a turban, and on Kindler Street, it was very imposing. ，

Let Nina's eyes be full of brilliance, if she lies on Mr. Gordon's back, wouldn't it be ......

However, as the flow of people surged, the man riding the drake beast soon disappeared from Nina's vision, and she followed in Celia's footsteps.

Walk into this underground Night Raven Tavern, which is marked with the head of a large crow and the iconic red eyes.

Upon entering, Nina found that there was nothing in the tavern except for a few people in adventurer's costumes sitting in a few corners, and business did not look good, but it was not yet night, which was normal.

Celia didn't stop, but walked directly to the front desk, asked the waiter for a glass of blood crow wine, which is a specialty here, and then said to the waiter.

"Black Street!"

When the waiter heard the girl's words, he knew that it was about the house in the dark street, so he said no more and went backstage.

After a while, a lean middle-aged man dressed in a tavern attendant's costume walked out of the backstage, handed a note with a night crow motif, and said to Celia.

Something you want. Write it on it and I'll get you a quote later.

Celia took the fountain pen from the attendant, and wrote on the blank note, "No. 220, 219 Black Street East." and handed it back.

The waiter didn't look at it, put the note in his arms, and then asked Celia to find her own seat and sit down, and someone would be notified later.

Celia and Nina sat by a fireplace in the tavern, watching the crackling of burning wood, chatting with the splashes of golden sparks, and most of all the happy times in the orphanage.

After a while, the waiter informed the two of them that the results were out, and there was news.

He invited them to the small room where outsiders were not disturbed, and handed over the price number.

Celia didn't think about it, so she paid directly, after all, this was what Gordon asked.

Not long after, the two deeds were delivered to Celia.

It also means that Gordon's first property has been purchased.

The aristocratic district, the third-order holy warrior Ward Yeye, is also the leader of a five-person holy warrior squad.

He was routinely blocking the carriages of the nobles who wanted to travel, and declared it to the arrogant nobles in the most just and stern tone.

Before the matter of the devil was found, the aristocratic district was completely closed, and only entry and exit were allowed!

He ignored the invincing and ridicule of the nobles, and continued to dutifully guard the tasks assigned to him by the temple.

That is to prevent evil from spreading.

He enjoyed the job very much, and it was good to do penance in the temple and occasionally come out to spice up.

However, as he continued to guard the path with the other paladins, he heard the woman's weeping and pleading.

As well as the raging rampant laughter of the aristocracy, Ward suddenly came the spirit, the smell of evil!

So, he explained to the other paladins, and then took another paladin, Yerien, to investigate, as a holy warrior, he would not miss any opportunity to eradicate evil.

In a manor-to-manor gap, he saw the source of the sound, a blonde girl being played with by a nobleman dressed in aristocratic clothes, and no matter how much she pleaded, the nobleman did not care.

This made Ward immediately angry, and he tried to stop him with his sword, but the nobleman, when he saw the paladin coming, ran away like a rabbit.

Ward didn't feel the slightest problem, stepped forward and put his cloak over the blonde girl's body, and asked.

"Are you alright?

"I'm fine!" ”

The blonde girl tugged at her cloak and covered the key parts, and said timidly.

The sound is soft and sweet, and it is very pleasant.

"Since it's okay, I'll send you back, don't run around alone in the aristocratic district next time, such a beautiful young lady, even if it is the aristocratic district with the best security, there will still be accidents. ”

Ward kindly persuaded the blonde girl to report a noble mansion not far from here.

Ward had no doubts, and after escorting the girl all the way back to the mansion, he planned to turn around and leave.

The blonde girl, who didn't want to go in, called out to him, and the door opened a crack.

"Mr. Paladin, thank you! I don't know what would have happened if it hadn't been for you......"

The girl hid behind the crack in the door, her tone full of gratitude.

"Raising our hands to uphold justice is exactly what we should do!"

Ward waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling that it was okay.

"That'...... You haven't told me your name yet! I want to repay you. ”

"My name is Ward Yee, what about you?"

Ward replied casually.

"My name is Riya, thank you!

The girl in the crack of the door smiled brightly, and that smile made Ward practice penance all year round, and the heart of the holy warrior who had no waves in the ancient well couldn't help but ripple a little.

Ward chewed on the name in his mouth, "Liya, really a nice name!"
