Nikita stood at the city gate of Ussa, looking at the bustling crowds and lively scenes on both sides of the street, taking a deep breath and sighing with nostalgia.
A long, long time ago, when she was attacked by a demon in the Silent Forest and fell, she never saw a similar scene again.
During her short but long career as a demon, she was either on the run or on the way to escape. Even with the help of Sir Ulrich along the way and resting for a while in the withered land, she could not find the feeling of being a human again.
Although the lichs in the Withered Land have markets and bustle, they refuse the hustle and bustle, and the entire market is always under a depressing and gloomy atmosphere.
"We are the demon king's subordinates!"
Faceless didn't pay attention to the banshee's lament. It was still aggrieved by the treatment the group of people had suffered. It pursed its lips and complained endlessly: "Don't Dreamland claim to be absolutely neutral? This is how they treat the envoys of His Majesty the Siren King.
?!"
Nikita raised his hand, pressed the hair of the 'little girl' next to him, and comforted: "But we came to Usa City in the name of paying tribute from various tribes. What they did is understandable."
The huge team that set out from the Enchanted Forest was stopped by the guards of Ultha City in front of the huge stone bridge across the River of the Sky. They claimed that there was an order from the Ultha City Council to deny the entire team entry into the city.
The elders of the Zuge tribe stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the cat statues of various shapes carved on the stone pillars and railings on both sides of the bridge. Their legs were already weak with fear. Even though the banshee was standing behind them, they said a strong word.
Can't even tell.
After some haggling, the ‘tribute payers’ finally compromised.
Five candidates were determined to enter the city - three were elders of the Zuge tribe, and the remaining two were Nikita and Zhuzhu. The huge flock of Shantak birds stopped on a stone hill not far from Usa
Above, the gug giants and ghouls also stayed where they were.
In addition, Nikita's mount, the ferocious purple spider, and Zhu Zhu's light horse were not allowed to enter the city. The little banshee was forced to walk on her legs, so she was particularly resentful.
It has not traveled this far since it became Zhu Zhu.
But a child's resentment goes away as quickly as it comes.
After entering Ussa City, Zhu Zhu's attention was quickly attracted by the novelty gadgets on both sides of the street, forgetting the complaints he had made a few minutes ago.
Similar to the real world, most of the items sold in the market in Ursa City are very common daily necessities. For example, pots and pans, iron tools, baskets, flour cakes, candy figures, colorful cloth, live cattle,
Foals, etc. There are flies flying around in the butcher stalls here, and there are also nimble thieves walking among the people passing by.
But unlike the real world, the market here has many specialties unique to Dreamland.
For example, the wine made by fungi is green in color and has a mellow taste; such as the crystallized wind, shining with colorful colors in the sun, and you can feel a variety of emotions when you eat it; and another example is the dream in a bottle——
This is the rain that farmers receive on rainy days, the rain from a fantasy world. Every drop of rain hides a fragment of someone’s dream in the real world.
Dreamers who don’t know how to dream like these weird dream fragments the most.
The strange combination of the two banshees and the three-headed ancestor soon attracted many prying eyes in the market.
Although the Zugo elders rarely appear in Usa City, they are the natives of the Enchanted Forest. Except for the wine shop owner who hopes to buy some fungus original brew from the Zugo tribe at a low price, and those cats lurking in the dark with malicious intentions.
Besides, merchants in the market hardly give them a second glance.
The businessmen's attention was attracted by the two banshees.
Their scarlet eyes, wide robes of wizards, and the magical ornaments hanging on their bodies declare their magnanimity and stranger status to every merchant.
Compared to Nikita, who has a cold expression and a tall body, Zhu Zhu, who is short and looking around with a curious face, has become an excellent target for businessmen - the little succubus just has the words "Come and lie to me" on her face.
Four big characters.
"This beautiful lady, please stay!"
A dwarf businessman who was a head shorter than Zhu Zhu jumped out from behind the shelves, stopped in front of the little banshee, and gestured with his hands in an exaggerated way: "Is this your first time in Usa City?"
Zhu Zhu stopped honestly and nodded - since it became a pet snake, it has rarely had the opportunity to look down at other people, and the new face is also very short, so it is assumed that someone is shorter than her.
After the guy appeared in front of her, she felt happy.
Nikita glanced back and continued to walk forward calmly, with no intention of stopping to listen to the nagging of those profiteers. As for whether Faceless would be cheated of a fortune or whether he would be sold, she
No worries about this at all.
A person has a thousand faces, which describes more than just the appearance of a painted skin.
"When you come to Usa City, one of the rules you must abide by is not to kill cats!" The dwarf businessman jumped up and down in front of the little banshee, looking enthusiastic: "Do you know why? Because of the great cat goddess Bass.
Tit is always looking at this little city! He is always looking at his people!”
Zhu Zhu nodded in understanding, not knowing what the dwarf in front of him wanted to do.
"Dang-dang-dang...dang!" The dwarf took out a thumb-sized purple wooden sculpture from under his robe, and carefully approached it in front of the little witch: "This is the great Bastet! With her protection, you will be safe in Ursa City.
Will not be harmed in any way... This is the amulet I brought back from a temple in a ruined stone city during an adventure!"
"It was a wonderful adventure! I explored the stone city with my companions, a noble paladin, an agile elf archer, and two rough but brave dwarves! The sky was as dark as it is now.
Same, the burning clouds dyed half the sky red..."
"Ahem," the little banshee had to cough twice, interrupting the dwarf's endless story, and asked tentatively: "So... do you want me to buy this statue?"
The dwarf businessman's voice stopped abruptly.
According to the plan, he should tell a story about his adventure, and then mention that his companion was injured during the adventure, and he was forced to sell the proceeds from the adventure at a low price. Then, in a good atmosphere and endless compliments, he would learn from the little girl in front of him.
I got a big bag of gold with me.
But I didn't expect that the opponent would not play according to the routine.
While he was still preparing on the first floor, the opponent jumped directly to the fifth floor.
This made his mind a little confused.
Not far behind, in several other bunks, merchants from Old Usa City looked at this scene with smiles and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
