The advent of "Flash Gold Cards" not only emptied people's wallets again, but also led to the rise of an emerging industry, card trading.
The largest card trading shop in Aogu City is the former black market owner Tata's shop. In just three hours, by buying low and selling high, he not only collected more than 40 sets of first edition gold flash cards,
I also earned more than 200 gold coins.
Tata was sitting in the shop with a silly smile. He did not expect that the store he just bought today could be so profitable.
"Uncle Tata?" A little girl's voice suddenly sounded, which sounded very familiar.
"Rikka? You survived too? Where is your brother?" Tata saw that the visitor was an acquaintance from the black market, and instantly felt a sense of kindness in his heart.
"My brother and I have escaped to Miracle Plains now. We came to the city to buy groceries today. I didn't expect to meet you, uncle." Rikka smiled sweetly, full of surprises.
"Eh? Did you buy those lucky bags too? How's your luck?" Tata wanted to say something else, but he saw the golden card in Rikka's hand.
"Don't mention it, I'm so unlucky, all I need is a great water magician from the Principality of Floy." Liuhua lowered her head when she heard this and said fiercely.
"Haha, since we can meet today, it is also a kind of fate, I will give you one." Tata took out a card from under the counter, which was the great water mage that Rikka lacked.
The two chatted for a while, and Tata smiled and sent Rikka out of the shop. Rikka also learned that he was planning to open an exchange for gold flash cards.
After walking out of Ogu City and returning to the dense forest, Rikka took off his gray linen hood and put on the leather armor again.
Boom, who was sitting in the Wonder House, slowly opened the door curtain and looked at Rikka with some surprise. Because it was only the afternoon and she would never come back so early.
Not long after, Rikka told everything about what she saw and heard today, and also handed the twenty gold glitter cards to Boom.
Boom was also very curious after hearing this, but after thinking about it, his expression became even weirder. Because he saw the real purpose behind these cards. Although it was a bit shameless, it was indeed a clever way to make money.
.
However, this thing cannot be said to be useless. At least through these twenty cards, Boom and Rikka have a rough understanding of the combat power of the nine principalities.
Of course, these are just things that everyone knows. Presumably even the Secret Art Guild, which is the initiator, will definitely not reveal its past to others.
Time passed quickly during the conversation between the two. Boom was more curious about Tata's situation than those golden cards. Because in his opinion, those things that were directly related to him were the focus and were dispensable.
, is the icing on the cake.
The two walked among the reeds. Boom sometimes shot fireballs into the sky, and sometimes he was wary of the beasts lurking around. Rikka, on the other hand, always held the cards and looked at them with a silly smile.
Returning to the small mountain village, Rikka handed over the body of an antelope to the village chief Hook, and then returned to the earthen house with Boom. The aroma of the cooked dried meat was emitted, and the turbid ale was entangled with the tip of the tongue.
After the meal, Boom did not practice, but took the latest issue of "Secret Magic Monthly" and read it. Rikka carefully outlined the outline of the Secret Magic Market, and even marked the names of most of the shops.
This is her habit, because she has always had a dream to travel around the world with Boom. That’s why she often draws maps with her own hands. These are her most precious memories with Boom.
It was late at night, and the small mountain village was quiet. Except for the occasional chirping of cicadas, there was nothing else. The dancing candlelight lengthened the shadows of the two people, but also illuminated the figures that were getting closer.
This is a small mercenary group with only six people. The leader is a mid-level warrior, and the deputy leader is a junior magician. The remaining four are all low-level warriors.
They are a mercenary group born and raised in the royal city. Their mission this time is to escort a batch of magic crystals to the Knight Principality. But when they returned to the city tonight, they had evil thoughts about the small mountain village.
A series of wind blades suddenly arrived, shattering the village gate. A sharp sword reflected the moon, dancing in a deadly arc.
Clusters of torches were dripping black oil, illuminating everything in the village clearly. Frightened faces gathered together, and the leader drew the bow string to the full, but slowly lowered it.
"My lords, we are just a poor small village. We have some gold coins here. I hope you won't dislike it." Village leader Hu Ke tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but it was uglier than crying.
"Do you want us to spare someone for just a few dozen gold coins? How about sending the dog away?" A low-level warrior spat and inserted his sword into the ground.
"Okay, we're here to find gold coins, not trouble. Let's fight quickly...well..." The middle-level warrior led by him wanted to stop him, but his words were forced back.
.
At some point, Rikka and Boom walked out of the earthen hut. The mid-level warrior had a ball of mud stuck to his face, and it still smelled like a cowshed.
An afterimage passed by, and Rikka's body reappeared in the distance. The two meteorite swords in her hands were stained with blood, and the four heads at her feet still maintained the arrogant expression they had a second ago.
The villagers instantly burst into a commotion, because this was the first time they saw Rikka's strength. Hook's eyes also widened, because hunting wild beasts is far less terrifying than beheading.
"Brother, I'll leave the magician to you. Let's fight quickly. I haven't eaten snacks yet today." Rikka walked up to the leader of the mercenary group, her eyes filled with coldness.
She doesn't like to be disturbed by others, and she doesn't like to be occupied by others when she is alone with Boom. In her eyes, the other person is just a small mosquito, as small as dust.
After hearing this, Boom didn't say much, but instead used the black wood staff. The Zodiac Bullets floated beside him instantly. The frightened magician stood there, and before he could use the move, he was bombarded by Boom.
It became a rain of blood.
Less than five minutes passed from the time the two walked out of the earthen hut until only one person was left. Seeing this, the villagers who came to their senses picked up farm tools one after another, intending to beat the last person to death.
But a terrifying scene suddenly came, and Rikka was seen holding the meteorite dagger in both hands, walking towards the opponent step by step. Seeing this, Boom shook his head, and then turned around and returned to the Tsuchiya.
"The gift of liberation, the first dance, the sound of the piano!" Rikka whispered softly, and then her body disappeared again.
This is the first move of her swordsmanship. After using it, she becomes as fast as lightning, and can instantly cut through magic and fighting spirit, and even all visible objects.
The soldier always stood in place, but after a few seconds, his body melted like wax, gradually revealing the bones and organs in his body.
Sheath the sword! Turn around! Rikka jumped up and down and ran back to the earthen house. Not long after, laughter and laughter erupted again inside, as if none of this had ever happened.
Hook and the villagers remained motionless, because this man died too miserably. His muscles were cut into countless pieces by Rikka, but his bones were intact and he still maintained the standing posture he had during his lifetime. As for the organs,
Slowly sliding from the gap to the ground.
Retching! Turning around! The villagers ran back to their homes one after another, unwilling to take another look at the body. Hook and the old man looked at each other, with a chill in their eyes.
