Two hundred and ninety fourth characteristic storefront
Fortunately, the clerks in this bakery didn't look at the three people as evildoers, and such actions were undoubtedly the greatest praise for their bread, so after listening to Illya's words, the clerks nodded in agreement.
Come down.
"You go and play, I'll just wait here!"
With the super delicious melon buns, Shana was in an unexpectedly good mood. Seeing Fang Qiubai and Ilia standing with her in the store, she pushed them out.
"Then let's go shopping too... and come back later."
Xia Na's move made the two of them look at each other and smile. Thinking that there was no danger here, and they could return immediately even if something happened, Fang Qiubai agreed.
"Xia Na really looks like a child!"
After the two of them walked out of the bakery for a while, Illya said with a smile.
"Hey, Shana is indeed not very old, and it's because of the strange upbringing of Alastair and Wilhelmina that she is like this."
Speaking of Xia Na's past, Fang Qiubai wanted to sigh.
"Haha, I knew you would complain like this, but Shana is much more cheerful now."
Illya naturally guessed that Fang Qiubai would have such a reaction. When she saw the other party frowning and sighing, she couldn't help but smile.
"That's right, as long as she is happy."
Fang Qiubai nodded and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, he looked at the crowded street in front of him and said.
"Xiaoya, you shouldn't think about going to see delicious food first like Shana, right?"
"It's okay. What's wrong with eating delicious food? If there are good ones, you can take some back to everyone in the SOS group."
Unexpectedly, Illya tilted her head and asked strangely.
"Then let's see wherever we go."
Fang Qiubai nodded, took Ilia's hand and carefully protected her from the crowd around her as she walked forward.
Compared with Yinshan City, this place is much more lively. Even Qingshui Pass cannot be avoided. Looking at the indescribably lively streets, Illya couldn't help but sigh.
"Looking at how lively it is here, people in this country are living a pretty good life!"
There is a certain basis for what Ilia said. Who doesn't have the time to go shopping if they don't live well? Not only is there a huge crowd of people in front of them, but from time to time I see people stopping to buy something in the surrounding shops, saying that they live a good life.
It is relatively underestimated. Compared with most ordinary people in Yinshan City who are still working hard to make a living, the people here are almost all well-off.
"It seems like these are all ordinary residents. Didn't you see any soldiers like mercenaries?"
After being reminded by Ilia's voice, Fang Qiubai carefully observed his surroundings and discovered something strange.
"Sure enough, how could it be like this?"
After observing it carefully, Illya also found it strange. The city of Carlyle was quite lively, but the people walking on the street were dressed like ordinary residents. No one was holding a weapon or wearing armor. Such
The scene was simply incredible.
"Is this city also divided into different areas?"
Fang Qiubai asked, thinking that Yinshan City also has streets that belong only to ordinary people that mercenaries generally do not enter.
"If just ordinary people have such spending power, how terrible are the incomes of those with fighting skills here?"
However, Illya felt that things were not that simple. Everyone knew that even the lowest level mercenaries could reach level 3 or 4 and earn more than 10 gold coins from a mission, while ordinary people might earn more than 10 gold coins after working hard for a few days.
So the income of 1 gold coin, the gap between the two is quite huge.
Some ordinary residents of Carlyle City do not use money as money. If they have good strength, how much income should they have? Ten times? Hundred times?
Although Fang Qiubai also found it a bit strange, it was not as shocking as Ilia. Only the aborigines of her continent knew what this meant. If ordinary people in a city have the income of mercenaries from other countries, then this country
Its wealth and strength are at least several times that of other countries.
"Okay, forget about them, we are just here to have fun, don't think too much."
Seeing Illya frowning and looking around worriedly, Fang Qiubai gently pulled her into his arms and said.
Being hugged by Fang Qiubai in public, Ilia blushed and felt that everyone around her was looking at her with a smile.
"Yes, with Qiubai and everyone here, Yinshan City will soon become so prosperous."
Ilia was right. Fang Qiubai and others didn't have to worry about the danger this powerful country would bring to the Starring Empire. Originally, the two countries were quite far apart, and just a few people from the SOS group would be enough.
Stop a country from taking action.
————————————————————————
Ilia and Fang Qiubai, who had put aside their worries, wandered leisurely on the street like two ordinary people. If they found something interesting, they would study it together. They didn't care if it was useful or not, as long as they found it interesting, they would buy it.
Come down, and not one copy, but dozens of copies. In Ilya's words, you can give them to everyone as travel gifts when you return to the SOS group.
As a result, before walking through a hundred-meter-long street, the purchased items filled up Illya's space ring. As a last resort, it was given to Fang Qiubai and received into his system space.
However, during their hazy purchase, they also learned some information about Carlyle City from the enthusiastic shopkeepers.
This Carlyle City belongs to the Kingsley Empire. It is a gathering place for ordinary people. Therefore, there are no strong people around.
Of course, this does not mean that the city has no defensive capabilities. According to the wishes of Emperor Kingsley, there are two cities surrounding the city of Carlyle that form an antelope to protect the city.
Compared to Carlyle City, there are no ordinary people in those two cities. One side is full of military personnel, and the other side is full of mercenaries. These two cities full of force have protected Carlyle City well.
There is a reason why the residents here are so rich. The emperor prohibited people outside the local area from doing business in Carlyle City, and also prohibited people other than ordinary people from doing business here. In other words, everything sold in this city is
It is suitable for ordinary people, and there are no expensive and useless products for them.
After complying with the emperor's arrangement, because there is no one else to disturb the situation, even if other people come to play, they can only follow the rules here. As buyers, they naturally cannot disrupt the market, so the prices here have always been
It is very stable. As long as residents work hard, they will not be short of money, and their lives will only get better and better.
Although the information they heard from these merchants was intermittent and unclear, this did not prevent the two from admiring the emperor.
After all, the achievements of this city were displayed in front of their eyes without any disguise, and the smiles on people's faces could not be deceived.
"I just heard from the store owner that there is a very special store at the end of this street. Everyone who travels here must visit it. I don't know what store it is."
Ilia held Fang Qiubai's hand and pointed forward excitedly and said, in this city, ordinary things on the street are very good. After all, there is such a long distance between Yinshan and many things have not been seen.
It seemed very novel, but the shop owner actually said that there was a more special shop, and Illya's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"Hey, maybe this is a so-called specialty shop that specializes in deceiving outsiders!"
Fang Qiubai disagreed with this. The so-called special shops are usually used to rip off customers. I'm afraid they are not as good as this ordinary shop.
"No, you see, we bought so many things that are genuine, high-quality, and cheap. How could it be like the situation you mentioned?"
Ilia was very dissatisfied with Fang Qiubai's malicious speculation. She reached out and grabbed Fang Qiubai's face and said with a straight face.
When Fang Qiubai thought about it, it was indeed true. At least the people in this world were much kinder than before the time travel. The scene of blackmailing foreign guests should not appear in his imagination.
Because they had such a curious idea, the two of them did not go shopping one by one in the surrounding stores as they did at the beginning, but went straight to their destination.
There is a store at the corner of the street that is no different from the surrounding stores, but the strange thing is that the surrounding area seems to be deliberately left blank. There is only this one store.
"This should be right here, right?"
Looking at this unique store, if the store just now was not deceiving, this one should be it.
"I wonder if there is anything special here? Food? Clothes? Magic props?"
Illya looked at the inconspicuous shop and guessed with interest.
"Probably not, aren't they all ordinary people in this city? The things should be very ordinary, probably local specialties!"
Fang Qiubai felt that there wouldn't be anything amazing. After all, this was a city for ordinary people.
"Let's go, let's go in and take a look and you'll find out."
Illya took Fang Qiubai's hand and led him into the small shop.
"welcome."
As soon as I stepped into the store, a woman with long blue hair greeted me warmly behind the counter that was half a person tall.
Fang Qiubai quickly smiled and nodded in response, but felt a little strange. After entering the room, he seemed to smell a faint smell of sea, but there was no seafood sold on the counter of this store.
"Boss, we heard from others that your store is very special. What do you sell?"
Illya looked at the counter and saw that there was nothing on it. Not knowing why, she looked at the woman with a warm smile and asked.
"Oh, you two must be tourists coming here for the first time!"
The blue-haired woman suddenly laughed in realization, and bent down to find something under the counter.
"Okay, you two, please take your time and choose!"
The blue-haired woman took out a black tray from under the counter with several items on it. She pointed at the products on the tray and said to Illya.
"What's this?"
Illya found that she didn't recognize anything on the plate, so she couldn't help but asked strangely.
"Coral? Sea cucumber? Is this your specialty product?"
Fang Qiubai looked at the shopkeeper strangely. He knew several of these things, but he didn't understand what was so special about these ordinary seafood.
"That's right, these are salvaged from the depths of the Endless Sea. They are rare in other places except our Carlyle City."
The blue-haired woman smiled proudly, reached out and picked up a branch-like but beautiful and bright coral and handed it to Illya.
"It turns out this is something from the sea. I've never seen it before!"
Unlike Fang Qiubai's reaction, Illya was very excited and carefully held the coral in her hands to admire it.
