Chapter 96 Interlude(1/2)
Just as Gordon was waiting for the night to come on Reca Island.
Nina, holding Celia's arm, was already wearing a new dress, linen shirt and suspender trousers that she had just bought from Aunt Vill's children's clothing store, and wearing deerskin boots that fit, and walked on the busiest streets of the Carando Trade Zone with joy and curiosity.
They came here with a mission on Jindler Avenue.
Jindler Avenue not only has the most flavorful food and services in various places, but also has crucial transactions such as weapons, armor, materials, adventurer equipment, information, etc.
Therefore, even with the initiative of the Paladin lockdown, the traffic here is still amazing, and it is already bustling in the morning and noon.
Nina's dress is very simple and inconspicuous in the crowd.
Her dress is more neutral, no different from the children in civilian areas who are shuttled through the streets.
Because the trimmed silver shawl, which looked soft after being trimmed, and the fair and delicate face were already covered by a wide apprentice hat.
Apart from those intimidating vertical pupils, Nina did not have any other attention.
The two marched on Jindler Street and headed towards their goal.
They had already visited Ogma's Temple of Knowledge in the Temple District in the morning, but because they did not have a certain degree of contribution in the temple.
What they can seize is really limited except for the ordinary background information and experience of Holmold.
However, this problem was solved after Celia donated a shining little cute to the Temple of Ogma.
And the Temple Pastor was very caring to find records of the legendary wizard Golmodan for them, and they quickly got the information that Gotton wanted.
Then after coming out, the two returned to the black street with bloody smell. After Nina's exploration, they learned the exact location of the dog-headed man's nest in the black street.
They sought out buyers in nearby houses. Although the black street was dangerous, the house was still blessed by gangs.
However, what the two of them did not expect was that the transaction of houses on the black street was not on the black street.
Instead, Night Crow Tavern is located at 119 Kinderer Avenue.
The person behind the scenes there is said to be part-time responsible for the transaction of Black Street real estate, so the two of them came to Jindler Avenue in the trade zone.
The two walked on the ground paved with yellow bricks and stones, shuttled through the crowd, with different expressions.
Nina's eyes were full of curiosity and happiness. She looked left and right, and she carefully twisted the debris stained on her clothes from time to time. Although this was just a simple and simple dress, she was really satisfied and she was easily satisfied.
Whether it is before or now.
Celia's eyes were more helpless and heartache, and her expression was complicated. Celia originally wanted to use her own money to buy some beautiful clothes for Nina.
For example, dresses, long skirts and other clothing, no matter how bad it is, she will have a slim mage robe like her. She knows that Nina wants to become a spellcaster.
But after Nina looked at the price, she said she didn't want anything.
Even if Celia emphasized that this money is not Gentun's, she doesn't want it!
Although Nina didn't say the reason, Celia saw from her eyes that she was reluctant to let it go, because these clothes were too expensive.
Nina's too sensible made Celia feel sad.
In Nina's heart, she felt.
After buying a new outfit like her, she also said a good word to the store owner at checkout. After the discount, she almost demanded two gold coins, let alone others.
This money.
For her, she was more inclined to use this money to serve as a bed for Mr. Göton than to buy new clothes.
Although it is very rare, it gathers sand to form a tower.
As long as the gold coins in the underground cave do not disappear and increase, her dream of full gold coins will not be far away.
The reason why Celia's money is not used is because both Celia and Gotton's money are equally important in her eyes.
However, this is just one of the reasons why Nina always wants to save money.
The more important reason is that Geton is so able to spend money. He has more than a thousand gold coins, and he has not even been able to get along with each other, so he has flowed into the alchemy shop.
This made Nina dare not spend money indiscriminately and planned to leave it all for Geton as much as possible.
Anyway, Nina feels so strange now that she is indescribable.
It would be a pity for anyone who spends one more silver coin to buy items.
But when she bought a spell scroll for Mr. Gordon, she could do her vertical pupils without blinking, and she would not feel distressed at all if she said hundreds of gold coins.
This is a very strange but comfortable feeling.
Now she is able to walk decently on the streets and no longer feel embarrassed at the time, so she is already very satisfied.
Her vertical pupils could be curiously looking at all the novelty things on Jindler Street without worrying about being driven away.
Just as she was looking around, just passing by the alleys in the shops and shops, a sound came from the alleys that attracted her.
"Who can come and help me! The gods will protect you. Can you give me some money? I'm very hungry! I'm penniless!"
An old and familiar voice came from inside, and Nina shuddered, as if Grandma Oran’s voice!
She took a few steps back a little incredible before she could see the full picture of the speaker in the alley.
But the disappointment on his face couldn't help but overflow.
This was a ragged elderly beggar, lying on the ground, moaning at Nina, and the black dirt on her face almost covered her wrinkled face. If she didn't know her gender, she could not be judged by her voice.
For some reason, Nina suddenly had the desire to talk to her and had no choice to leave.
Perhaps this voice is too similar to Grandma Oran's voice in her memory.
She said to the beggar, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes! Little girl, can you give me some money? Just a little bit, I'm very hungry."
Nina hesitated for a moment and disappeared directly from the view of the alley. Just when the old beggar thought that this little girl was as cold as the person before, Nina came back with a pile of rolled bread.
Although roll-type bread is not as fragrant, soft and delicious as white bread, it is better because it is cheap and tastes good. It is a staple food for many Carando civilians.
She put Xiao Baoshan in front of the beggar and said with a heartache.
"I'll give it to you!"
"This is the small bread I bought with all my money! It's delicious! I'll give it to you! I can only help you so much! May the gods bless you, old lady!"
The beggar seemed to be stunned by Nina's actions and murmured.
"But I don't like eating small bread the most!"
However, the voice was very small, and Nina couldn't hear it clearly, which made her ask more questions.
"Old lady, what did you say?"
"I said the bread is delicious, I like it very much!"
The beggar seemed to be conscious of saying that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said.
"Just like it! I used to like this! Goodbye old lady!"
When Nina heard the beggar's words, she smiled brightly, but she didn't plan to continue talking. Sister Celia was still waiting for her outside!
So after she put down her bag, she ran away without waiting for the old beggar to continue talking.
It was indeed Nina's own silver coins, which were exchanged when collecting materials in the sewer and kept them all. They originally wanted to use them as backup for Geton, but today they all spent all of them in one breath.
She didn't have much regret on her face. She looked at the alley and took the initiative to take Celia's hand. She raised her head and said to her with a hint of melancholy on her face.
"Sister, let's go!"
Celia smiled helplessly. Knowing that she thought of the orphanage again, she nodded and clenched Nina's little hand.
The two men gradually drifted away and soon disappeared into the crowd.
In that alley, the beggar's voice gradually disappeared with the crowd, and his figure also disappeared in the alley. As well, there was a large bag of rolled bread.
Jindler Avenue is very long, and the beggar incident just now was just a small episode. When I was halfway through, Nina returned to her original appearance again, looking around curiously, Jindler Avenue in Calanto, you can see traders, adventurers, and even plane merchants of all races coming here to trade.
The adventurers of the dragon and Nina saw several, but they were two or three meters tall half-dragon men. These half-dragon men in excellent armor and weapons were scanning the surroundings with their cold vertical pupils on Jindler Street. The adventurers around would more or less keep a distance from these half-dragon men.
Nina has long known what this different attitude is, and this is awe of the strong! So, this is also why she learns spells day and night.
Only by becoming stronger can one gain the respect of those people, especially in this crisis-ridden continent of Io, the powerful adventurer has a status comparable to that of the city lord or even a king in the hearts of the residents!
Just as Nina was immersed in the strange and foreign objects in the Carando Trade Zone, Celia's reminder came from the intersection of her ears and palms.
"Nina, it's almost here, go left, not forward!"
Nina woke up as if she was dreaming and hurriedly walked to the left, but her head still looked to the left unconsciously.
Just now she saw a yellowish dragon beast with no wings in front, thick hind limbs, short forelimbs and large heads.
I was riding by a man with a headscarf, and was extremely majestic on Jindler Street.
Nina's eyes couldn't help but be full of glory. If she lay on Mr. Gorton's back, wouldn't that be...
However, as the crowd surged, the person riding the dragon beast quickly disappeared from Nina's sight, and she also followed Celia's footsteps.
Walking into this Night Crow Tavern located underground, the logo is the head of a huge crow and its iconic red eyes as embellishment.
As soon as she entered, Nina found that there was nothing else in the tavern except for a few adventurer costumes sitting in a few corners. The business didn't look very good, but it was not yet night, which was normal.
Celia did not stop, but walked directly to the front desk, asked the attendant for a glass of Blood Crow wine, the specialty here, and then said to the waiter.
To be continued...
