Chapter 500: Traveling Merchants in the Western Continent
No! Timaria is angry!
Three quarters of a second later, Brandish felt the anger of her best friend.
So strange...why is she angry?
But the current situation did not allow her to think too much, because if Dimalia really wanted to do something to Lucy, it could be done in an instant and she could not stop it at all!
"Don't do anything! She is mine now... um... mine..."
Brandish hesitated for a long time, her face even slightly flushed, but in the end she did not say the word "friend".
She's yours?!
Dimalia was dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning: "You have never said such intimate words to me... She is yours, then what am I? ! Damn it!!!"
The scene of the magic power surged, and Lucy was stunned: Brandish was hostile to her because she suspected her mother's death, but why was this person so hostile to me? Shouldn't she go to find Erza? I think the two of them are the rivals...
In the end, Dimalia didn't fight because Brandish pleaded with Lucy and she couldn't refuse his face.
But she did not set Lucy and the others free. Instead, she kept them in the cell, waiting to be taken back to the capital for Auguste to make the decision.
The reason used was still the same: they were suspected of being spies who had infiltrated from the Kingdom of Fiore.
In fact, everyone knows that such a reason is completely unreasonable, because the "Fairy Tail" group did not even enter the border of the Albareth Empire, but who can blame Timaria for her strength?
"Just treat it as a ride on the wind. I'll take good care of the keys for you."
Brandish took Lucy back to the cell, and told the guards to keep her well fed and well fed for the next few days, then she left with a shrug.
She wanted to reminisce the game she played with Aquia.
…
A prosperous town in the Albares Empire.
On the central street, a young and handsome boy was sitting at a roadside stall and shouting. The boy claimed to be from Ishgar and was a traveling merchant who had only been in this city for three days.
The boy had flowing, smooth red hair that was about shoulder-length, which was very eye-catching because Lady Irene who lived in this city also had red hair, and apart from her, almost no one here had red hair.
The boy also has a pair of eyes that are like sky-blue gemstones, full of temptation. His gaze is extremely clear, and he has a pair of slender and delicate hands and a straight and strong back. Even though he is wearing a slightly old brown turban, it cannot conceal the boy's vigorous and sunny vigor, which makes the citizens who have lived here for a long time and seldom go out feel good about him at first sight.
Outsiders are always attractive, and this time the one who came was a handsome young man. Many young and beautiful girls couldn't help but step forward to talk to him. They found that this guy was not only good-looking, but also knowledgeable, and humorous when he spoke. They couldn't help but feel excited and had a good impression of him.
After a little inquiry, I learned that the boy lost both his parents when he was young and wandered around. When he grew up a little, he became a traveling merchant. At the age of only twenty, he traveled all over Ishgar.
Later, due to the economic depression, he bought a batch of novel goods and took a ship to the Albares Empire to sell them, and by the way, he got to know the customs and culture of this country.
The merchandise he sells is also very special. Most of them are interesting magic toys that are very popular with children. In addition, there are also some exquisite and novel jewelry that attract many girls to stop and look. There are also some light novels and comics that are said to be very popular in Ishgar and are the favorites of middle school boys.
His extraordinary experience, witty conversation, elegant temperament, coupled with his wealth and handsomeness, attracted a large number of passionate and unrestrained imperial women in just a few days. Some were even bold enough to propose to him directly, but unfortunately they were all rejected by the young traveling merchant.
This young man is of course Kira. Today is his fifth day in this city, and the reason why he is here is naturally for the most famous and powerful person in this town.
Erin Belserion!
Unfortunately, when Kira arrived here, he found that Irene... was not at home!
After a little inquiries, I learned that she was out on a business trip, making a routine inspection in a nearby town, which was her duty as one of the Twelve Shields.
In order to carry out his plan of kidnapping Irene, Kira had to stay here and wait for her to come back, but he didn't have much currency from the Albares Empire, so he had to go back to his old business to make money. Unexpectedly, the business of magic props became unexpectedly popular.
"I really underestimated how handsome I am before!"
"The girls from the Western Continent are dressed so hot and sexy! No wonder Bisca still dresses like that in the guild after getting married. It turns out that the people here have been so unrestrained since childhood."
"This traditional culture, which is clearly the essence rather than the dregs, should be inherited and promoted, and vigorously promoted in the three continents and even other worlds!!"
On the street, Kira sat on the mobile stall he had built, with a faint smile on his face, giving people a feeling like being bathed in spring breeze, very comfortable.
While mumbling softly, he held a charcoal pencil and drew pictures of pedestrians on the wooden board - come on, as a qualified traveling businessman, drawing pictures for beautiful women and playing musical instruments are all basic skills, right?
Kira's paintings do not require the other party's consent, but he does not charge money or have to show them to others.
This behavior is not perverted, it is art!
Since there is no profit to be made, there will be no infringement of portrait rights. And since they don't have to be shown to others, Kira's paintings are naturally bolder (boldness leads to progress) and more explicit (truthfulness is the key to painting). Combined with the elegant and refined cultural atmosphere, the passionate and unrestrained clothing, and a bit of the relaxed and pleasant life atmosphere like "the local citizens are living a good life", an uplifting black and white picture is completed.
After a long time, Kira stopped writing, looked at his masterpiece on the board, and frowned: "Hmm... Is it a little exaggerated here? The proportions look unbalanced... Others will think that such an exaggerated figure does not exist in reality..."
Thinking of this, Kira looked up at the waitress in maid uniform who was busy working in the coffee shop across the street.
He carefully used his pen to compare it several times in the air, and finally he felt relieved: "No, no... I drew it based on someone else's figure. People who say that are completely sitting in a well and looking at the sky! They have never seen a real treasure!"
The maid service opposite seemed to notice Kira's gaze. She turned her head and looked in Kira's direction for a few seconds. Then her face turned red instantly and she buried her head in her chest shyly.
Kira's eyes never moved away, so he could clearly see that she would secretly turn her head to glance at him every few moments and then continue to work. However, perhaps because she noticed that he was still looking at her, her hands and feet became more and more flustered, and even attracted scolding and ridicule from the other waiters.
"It seems that not all girls in the Western Continent are passionate and unrestrained..."
But I like it!
Kira had no doubt that he could trick her into buying something with him after she got off work. Thinking that his business was so prosperous even in a foreign country, Kira's smile became even more intense.
"Come to think of it... I don't know how Urrutia and Selene are doing? I don't know if they can send me any news..."
In order to carry out the subsequent plan smoothly, Urrutia and Selene went to other nearby towns to inquire about the news two days ago, but Kira strongly suspected that they went shopping!
The reason I had this idea is because that's what they did when they were here!
Two grown women who can't even run a business and still have to rely on Kira for support, what kind of world is this! !
Just as Kira was feeling indignant, an excited shout rang out on the street.
"Lady Irene is back!!!"
Kira's eyes suddenly opened, his spirit perked up, he stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I finally waited for you, glad I didn’t give up!
