Chapter 68: Indigofera Heart
"Senior sister's cooking skills are amazing!" Allen praised, "No need to look any further, I'll pay for it now."
"Don't be impatient!" Zhinu grabbed his hand, her eyes ambiguous, "How do you know if it fits if you don't try it on?"
"Let's go! Junior brother, follow me into the house!"
"It's not too late to pay after you try it."
"However, I can just pay for it, right?"
"Forget it, forget it, there's really no need! Senior Sister, I absolutely believe in your craftsmanship!"
Still going into the house?
Please forgive me!
It's not that Allen was drained of energy.
I just saw something I shouldn’t have seen, it was really eye-catching!
Before I get over the psychological trauma, I don’t want to have any intimate relationship with the Weaver Girl anymore.
In the end, Alan was forced to exchange the secret mark with the Weaver Girl, and only then was he able to escape.
A dozen spider silk shorts, put into the storage bag.
Allen walked towards the market entrance empty-handed.
Just as I was about to go out, I suddenly received a system prompt.
"Detected the scent of special ingredients!"
Hmm? Good luck!
Alan smiled slightly, turned around, and followed the detection direction given by the system to search for special ingredients.
…
A shop window with a notice posted.
"Taona and Angela's Material Store!"
“Selling various herbs and spellcasting materials, welcome to order!”
Alan pushed the door open and walked into the material store.
The scent of special ingredients led him here.
The shop was filled with the scent of herbs.
Two women were watching the shop.
A tall woman in a green dress sat at the counter, her chin resting on one hand, yawning out of boredom.
There is also a petite girl.
She was wearing an apron and a white towel on her head.
With his back to the door, he held a feather duster and stood on tiptoe.
Cleaning the dust on the top shelf with some difficulty.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman in the green dress seemed to be awakened. She raised her head suddenly and blurted out to Alan:
"Welcome !"
Alan looked at her and couldn't help frowning secretly.
This woman doesn't look very old.
But it looks a bit too hasty.
His face was pale and his lips were blue.
High cheekbones, hooked nose, and triangular eyes.
This face looks just like an old witch!
He looks very mean and not easy to mess with.
The girl who was cleaning also turned around.
The appearance is quite pleasing to the eye.
She was estimated to be less than 1.5 meters tall, with fair skin, chubby cheeks that looked a bit like baby fat, and cute twin ponytails.
A pair of big black eyes flashed, and he was looking at the visitor curiously.
She seems more innocent and romantic than her actual age, which makes people feel sorry for her.
“Ahem!!”
The girl in the green dress who looked like a witch coughed loudly twice.
Trying to draw Alan's attention away from the twin-tailed loli and back to himself.
"If your honored guest needs anything, please let me know."
The girl in the green dress forced a commercial smile.
It’s better not to laugh.
When he smiled, his face looked even more sinister, as if he had bad intentions.
The voice is quite nice, crisp and tender.
It's quite inconsistent with this appearance.
"Let me take a look first." Alan said nonchalantly.
"No problem, take a look around, and let me know if you need anything."
The girl in the green dress maintained a fake smile on her face.
Alan turned and walked towards the shelf.
The scent of exotic ingredients came from above the shelves.
"Guest, do you need my help?"
The girl with twin ponytails asked Allen obediently.
"Let me see the wooden box on the top shelf."
"Okay!"
The girl with twin ponytails stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to reach it.
He couldn't reach it even when he stretched out his arms, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"Guest, please wait a moment!"
She ran over to move a stool to use as a footstool.
"Don't bother you, I can do it myself."
Alan reached out and pulled out the wooden box .
The girl with twin ponytails widened her eyes, eyes full of envy.
"Wow! You're so tall!"
Alan is 1.92 meters tall, nearly half a meter taller than her!
The altitude difference is quite big indeed.
Alan smiled, handed her the wooden box and gestured to unlock it.
"The key is in Taona's hand."
The girl with twin ponytails explained in a low voice and walked towards the counter holding the box.
The wooden box seemed too heavy for her.
"Hey! Whoosh..."
The girl held the box with difficulty and placed it carefully on the counter.
Turn around and walk towards the shelf.
Suddenly he stumbled, and fell flat on the ground next to Alan with a thud.
The hem of her skirt flipped up, revealing a hint of white panties...
Alan calmly looked away and helped her up.
"Sister Angela! Are you okay?"
The girl in the green dress leaned over and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just fell accidentally."
The girl with twin ponytails had a flushed face and was fumbling to brush off the dust on her body, looking very embarrassed.
Alan raised an eyebrow secretly.
He originally thought that the younger-looking loli with twin pigtails was his junior sister, but it turned out that she was the senior sister of the girl in the green skirt.
Think back to the name of the store.
It seems that the girl in the green dress is Tao Na.
Snap!
The girl in the green dress opened the lock and took out something as big as a fist from the box.
It looks black, like an irregular lump of mud.
Alan looked closer and found that the surface of this thing had delicate and complex wood texture.
It turned out to be a wooden lump.
"This is the heart of the woad tree, a very rare spellcasting material!"
Tao Na held the wooden lump and introduced it to Alan.
"Combined with plant-related spells, the power of the spell can be increased by at least... well, at least 30%!"
As she said this, she unconsciously avoided Alan's gaze.
Obviously, the exaggeration is a bit exaggerated.
Alan doesn't know any wood magic, and doesn't mind Taona's bragging. He just wants to gain potential from the heart of the woad tree.
“This is quite interesting.”
Alan took the woad heart and looked at it over and over again.
Pretend to be interested.
"Senior sister, what's your name?"
"Taona, what about you?"
"Just call me Alan."
Putting down the heart of the tree, Allen asked Taona: "How much do you sell this heart of the woad tree for?"
"Forty attributeless magic stones!"
Tao Na seemed to have figured it out long ago and made the offer without hesitation.
hiss……
Before Alan could do anything, Angela next to him couldn't hold it anymore.
I couldn't help but gasp, my eyes full of shock.
"Junior sister..." Angela asked Tao Na timidly, "Forty magic stones, isn't this... a little bit expensive?"
Tao Na had already secretly sharpened her knife and fork, waiting to slaughter the fat sheep.
When he heard his senior sister interrupt, his face immediately darkened.
"Why is it so expensive? Who else can get the heart of the woad tree except me?"
“It’s the only good thing on the market and it’s not expensive at all!”
"Hmm... That's true..."
Angela seemed to realize that as Taona's partner, she should never undermine her and betray her.
He snorted twice and didn't dare say anything more.
"Forty magic stones, that's too expensive." Alan groaned, "How about ten magic stones?"
"Are you kidding?! Why don't you just go and grab it!"
Tao Na flatly refused.
So the two sides bargained.
After a fierce tug of war, Allen was defeated.
Finally, the deal was made with "reluctant" price of twenty-five magic stones.
