Chapter 319 Group Action
All members of the Puppet Knights were left in the hotel.
Carrying these 30-centimeter little people out is so eye-catching that almost everyone's attention will be attracted by them.
Crowded places are not suitable for them to move around.
Alka looked at his teammates, groaned for a moment and said, "Let's act in groups."
"Lucilia, Pororo, the three of us will follow Xia Dai's suggestion to draw a map of this area. The rest of you can move freely in this city and learn some intelligence by the way."
"no problem."
"OK."
Hearing everyone's answers, Alka nodded. Then he thought of something and stopped where he was, looking at Julia and said, "Julia, you'd better not go out as much as possible in this place. Hide yourself well."
Julia nodded, understanding what Alka meant.
After all, Julia is still a mermaid at heart, although she has used her own abilities to transform her fish tail into legs.
But once discovered, problems will still arise.
Even though she is no longer a believer in life, and has even betrayed life.
Sometimes, the disgusted enemies won’t care so much, after all, mermaids are almost bound to life.
After the assignment was made, the four-member team consisting of Alka left the hotel directly.
"It's so lively here." Lucilia said as she sat on Alka's shoulder and looked around.
At this time preparations for the festival were going on all around.
Various lanterns and decorations that were obviously made for the festive atmosphere were being placed everywhere.
When they came to the large square in front of the city entrance, they could see that there seemed to be a stage still being set up.
"The smell here is weird, it's not just fragrant." Porro said after sniffing his nose.
"There are too many people, so it's normal that the smell is weird."
Lucelia said as she sat on Alka's shoulder.
The surrounding shops are also decorating their own stores.
Xia Daiti looked at one of the shops where clothes were being bought and sold.
"How about we change our clothes?"
Hearing this suggestion, Alka nodded.
Even though Porro followed them, and even though they changed their clothes, they were still very conspicuous in this place.
But it's better than not changing it.
It can also be considered as an experience of exotic customs.
Except for Porro, everyone else entered the store.
Only Porro sat helplessly on the stone pier at the door.
When Alka and the others came out.
Porro was surrounded by the children of the city.
"Do you eat humans?"
"Eat. You kids are the ones who like to eat the most." Porro said to a child who wanted to lie on him.
Then he picked him up helplessly and put him aside.
After seeing Alka and the others coming out, he turned around and suddenly roared at the children surrounding him.
"roar!"
"If you don't run away I'm going to eat you!"
"Ahhh, run."
"It's going to eat people, run!"
The children surrounding him ran away screaming, but you could tell from the smiling faces of these children.
Obviously running for fun.
After dispersing these children, Porro walked reluctantly to Alka and the others.
"If you don't come out, I'm going to be annoyed to death. Go away."
" Haha , I didn't expect you to be so popular with these kids." Alka said with a smile.
Hearing this, Porro rolled his eyes helplessly and waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly.
"Ah! I want new clothes too!" Lucelia, who didn't buy new clothes, said angrily on Alka's shoulder.
This is a ready-made clothing store, and since clothes cannot be customized, Lucelia is still wearing her old clothes.
She quite likes the unique national costumes of the island.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti smiled and said, "It's okay. I've almost figured out their style. I'll make one for you when I get back."
"Really? That's great."
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Admiring the scenery of the city, I slowly came to the gate.
He said hello to the soldiers with a smile and left the small port on the Feiyan.
As soon as he came out, Xia Daiti immediately got into work mode.
Silver ripples began to spread around, but in fact, these silver ripples were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Xia Daiti is now able to hide these ripples very well.
"Which area do you want to explore?"
Hearing this, Alka took out the map of the Land of Spirits and circled the orange dot and its surroundings.
Since this fragrant land is equivalent to the core of the entire land of spirits, if they rashly explore it, there will definitely be problems.
So Alka gave up the idea of incorporating the island.
And there are indeed no spots in the Land of Fragrance, not even a single white spot.
Looking at the area on the Arca Circle.
Xia Daiti nodded.
Then he drove forward with Alka and the other two.
…
Jason and Juanlu were strolling around the city.
As for the remaining Simon and Mathilda, they decided to stay in the hotel and stay with Julia.
At this time, the two of them were wearing clothes with petals and various flower elements, and they had completely blended into the city.
"What are you looking for?" Juanlu asked Jason, who seemed to be looking around as if he was searching for something.
Hearing this, Jason didn't even turn his head back, still searching, but he replied, "What else could it be? Of course I'm looking for a place that sells gems."
Juanlu understood what he heard immediately. He patted Ajie on the shoulder and stopped talking, but he couldn't hide the gloating smile on his face.
The crystal dragon has almost no gems left, and was very angry yesterday because of its empty gem bag.
Today, because of his body size and unusually eye-catching appearance, he was not allowed to enter the city and could only wander around the outskirts, which made him extremely angry.
If Jason goes out later and can't take out the gem to make the crystal dragon happy.
Urulius would definitely be angry with him.
"You're like raising a daughter."
Hearing this, Jason turned around and looked at him: "Is this how you raise a daughter?"
Juanlu shrugged his shoulders: "How would I know? I don't even have a fiancée. I was just talking."
"By the way, where did you get the money?"
"I borrowed it from Julia."
"Well, a good candidate." Juanlu nodded in agreement.
Julia is indeed a good candidate for borrowing money.
Like Porro, most of the people there are not big spenders.
Among the three people in the ocean, it seems that only Matlisa consumes frequently. And Matlisa's consumption is generally various experimental materials and medicinal materials for consumption.
There are also all kinds of strange and weird things that people can't understand at all.
"Where is the jewelry store? Is there no one wearing jewelry here?" Jason asked helplessly after searching for a long time without finding it.
However, no one answered him.
Turning around, Juanlu had fallen far behind and was standing in front of a stall selling things.
Then he ran back quickly.
Looking at what is being sold at this stall, there are all kinds of ingredients that I can't understand.
But there are some they have used before.
For example, the bighead carp.
There are more petals, plant roots, and dried whole flowers.
"Are these things edible?" Jason asked quietly in Juanlu's ear.
"Of course, these are still good seasonings."
"You've done it?"
"No, aren't we just going to give it a try?" Juanlu said nonchalantly.
Then he picked out some of the ingredients in the corners of the stall that looked extremely unappetizing and looked like insects.
Seeing this scene, Jason's face turned green.
But it is impossible to stop it.
I decided to be careful with Juanlu recently, and it would be best to hide if I see him holding a tray.
Before thinking, Juanlu had already prepared most of the ingredients on the stall.
"Would you like money?" Juanlu took out the silver sail and motioned to the boss to ask.
Looking at the outsider in front of him, the boss looked helpless.
"We are just xenophobes, not savages, my friend."
"Haha, sorry, boss, let me do the math." Juanlu said with an awkward smile.
Stuff the packaged ingredients you bought into the pocket ring.
Then he left with Jason.
"How does he know we are outsiders?"
After all, they were all wearing local clothes, and they were all human. There was no difference in skin color or race, so it should be difficult to tell them apart just by looking at their appearance.
Hearing this, Jason looked at him strangely.
"You don't think the two of us can speak the common language of the Sea of Spirits very well, do you? There must be a difference in accent. Maybe we don't feel it, but it's very obvious to the locals."
After listening to Jason's explanation, Juanlu nodded in understanding. He really didn't notice it.
If Julia or Lucelia were to speak, it might be possible to make the fake look real.
Julia is fine, but as for Lucelia, you can tell at a glance.
Finally, after Jason's inquiries, the two found the place where jewelry and gems were sold in the Land of Fragrance.
This is a strange flower house.
Because this flower is dark purple, it looks particularly strange in this place where most of the flowers are light-colored.
The surface of the flower is sparkling, like diamonds, or like dewdrops hanging on petals.
The two of them walked in.
A middle-aged man wearing local clothes but looking somewhat elegant stood behind the counter.
Even just standing like this, he makes people feel that he is polite and gives people an invisible sense of goodwill.
And he has a good-looking middle-aged face.
Just this face is definitely a killer of middle-aged women.
The moment Jason and Juanlu saw this man, they narrowed their eyes slightly.
The two of them simultaneously raised their guard.
Because this person makes them feel very dangerous.
A strong man.
The boss stood straight and pushed his silver-framed glasses.
The ends of the temples are decorated with flowers.
"Guests from outside? That's rare. Is there anything I can do for you two?"
Jason looked at the jewelry on the counter.
It can only be said that it is worthy of the name of fragrance. Almost 80% of the jewelry is decorated with various flowers.
This place really makes the most of flowers.
The rest are also more or less related to flowers.
In response to the boss's question, Jason said directly: "Do you have any valuable raw stones? Only gemstones."
Jason's question made the boss freeze in place for a moment.
Buying rough gemstones in a jewelry store? What is this operation?
Seeing his boss's slightly confused look, Jason felt embarrassed.
The main reason is that they are not familiar with this place and they may not stay here for long.
He had other things to do and had to collect some information, so he didn't have much time to waste on looking for channels to find the gems.
Although it was a little strange, the boss still smiled and said, "Although the customer's request is a little strange, as long as the price is right, we will sell it."
"That would be great."
The boss nodded slightly, bowed slightly and said, "Please wait a moment, my two guests."
As he spoke, he opened the door behind him and walked into the room.
As for whether you are afraid that someone outside will steal it.
hehe.
Jason and the other man waited outside for about a minute.
The boss came out holding a wooden box with flowers growing on it.
"Sorry to have kept you two waiting."
As he said this, he placed the wooden box on the counter and then opened it.
"These are the unprocessed raw stones that our store has now. See if there is anything you need."
Jason walked over and looked at the contents of the box.
Gems of various colors and sizes filled the entire small box.
The small ones are probably not even as big as the nail of the little finger, while the big ones are as big as the palm of your hand.
"Can you get started?"
Hearing this, the boss nodded: "Of course, please go ahead."
Jason nodded.
Then he reached out and started picking up the gems in the treasure chest.
Most of these gems are in various irregular shapes, and some have weird edges and corners.
Almost no polishing.
You can even see some stone residues stuck on some gems, which have not been peeled off cleanly.
Just as the boss said, it is indeed a rough stone that has hardly been polished.
It's like it was just dug out of the mine.
The boss looked at Jason's choice.
Almost none of them were smaller than a finger, and this customer did not seem to be inclined towards smaller but prettier gems.
Prefer the bigger one?
After taking out a gem of suitable size, at least one that Urulius would not feel anything after eating.
Jason began to choose carefully.
After removing some, look at the remaining gems.
Then he nodded with satisfaction: "That's all, boss, please name a price."
Seeing Jason's unusually generous look, the boss raised his head slightly and looked at him.
But he still opened his mouth to remind: "My guest, I have to remind you. This is the land of spirits. You have to know that the gems here may not be as easy to obtain as outside.
Compared to the prices outside, there may be a slight difference. ”
Although the boss's expression was a little euphemistic, his meaning was very clear.
Don't think about buying these gems at outside prices.
Jason nodded: "Don't worry."
If he dared to buy here, he was ready to be ripped off. It was his fault for not being well prepared beforehand.
He underestimated the growth rate of Urulius and the time they spent on the voyage. As long as the boss didn't go too far, he could accept it.
After all, all the gems on his body had been used up and he was in urgent need of some replenishment.
Hearing that Jason didn't mind, the boss nodded.
Then he looked at the gems on the counter that Jason had selected.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect the customer to have such good taste. Do you know a lot about gemstones? I guess you must be a gemstone lover."
Jason nodded when he heard this.
He couldn't love her enough, at least for now.
As for his vision, it was completely honed during feeding time.
Simply put, the better the gem, the more the Crystal Dragon likes it after eating it.
It's just like people eating delicious food.
After feeding him more, he will naturally be able to distinguish which ones are good and which ones are bad.
Of course, he couldn't tell others that he judged the quality of preservation by taste.
It mainly
It's just a simple distinction between good and bad and purity is like instinct.
Then the boss started to calculate.
"The total is 356 gold sails, let's call it 350. Is that acceptable, sir?"
Hearing the price, Jason looked at the gems on the table and nodded.
It’s still reasonable. Although it is definitely more expensive than the Twin Islands, it’s only about 30% more expensive.
Being in this place was already within his acceptable range.
Jason's actual limit is 50%.
He counted out 350 gold sails from the pocket ring, put them into a small box, and handed it to the boss in front of him.
Then wait for the boss to clean it up again.
After all, a golden sail is about half the size of a palm, and it is not very thin.
The 350 pieces are neatly placed in a small box, which looks very substantial.
After a careful inventory, the boss nodded with satisfaction.
Also take out a box, use soft silk as a cushion to put the gems away carefully.
He handed it to Jason.
"Thank you for your patronage. Is there anything else you need?"
"No, I'll take my leave now."
“Welcome to come again next time.”
Jason held the box and put it into his pocket ring. He said goodbye to the boss briefly and left the store with Juanlu.
Juanlu had been wearing a pair of glasses at some point and was sitting quietly in the corner watching the two people's conversation.
Watching the two people leaving.
I don’t know what this boss is thinking.
“I didn’t expect that the biggest deal would come from raw buying and selling… Should I change my career?”
The two people talked after coming out.
"About what strength?"
"Fourth stage completed."
“It’s pretty strong.”
