The street has returned to its usual appearance, and the smashed shops have opened their doors and continue to do business. Some damage can still be seen on the street pavement.
The Demon King was playing with his bulging wallet as he walked down the street, with his apprentice Reina following closely behind him.
"Master, what do we want to buy?"
"Things needed for the journey." The Demon King looked around and suddenly stopped, as if he had found the store he was looking for.
Then he turned his head and said to Reina: "For travelers, shoes are your life. You can live without expensive and sophisticated equipment, but you can't live without a pair of good shoes."
That's right, what he saw was a shoe shop. There were all kinds of beautiful women's shoes behind the glass cabinets. They moved from time to time, walking a few steps in place as if someone was wearing them, and displayed them to passers-by.
Ding bell~
The crisp doorbell rang.
"Welcome, do you want to buy a pair of shoes? We have everything for men and women, for outdoor leisure."
The shoe store owner said enthusiastically, his fiery eyes staring at the money bag on the Demon King's waist.
"Find her a pair of hiking shoes."
"What is this little girl wearing? Which style do you want? We have it here..."
"Do you have any boots?"
The devil interrupted him.
"have!"
As the store owner spoke, he opened a locker filled with shoe boxes and quickly found a few pairs of shoes.
"Too hard."
The Demon King checked it and said.
"Guest, these shoes are not too hard, they feel very..."
"Change a pair." The devil said coldly, not intending to listen to the shop owner's explanation.
"Okay." The shopkeeper shrugged. Just as he was putting the shoes back, the devil took his fancy.
"Hey, give me those shoes." The devil pointed to the top pair of shoes and said.
That's a pair of special shoes. What's so special about them is that their color, luster and quality are completely different from other shoes. They stand out from the crowd.
"Guest, you have such good taste. That is the best pair of shoes in our store. It is a pair of magic shoes, made of the most advanced magic materials. It..."
"I can see it myself." The devil's attitude remained cold.
For the sake of his height, the boss didn't dare to say anything and could only hand it to him.
The Demon King doesn't like businessmen very much, of course this is just his personal prejudice.
Sure enough, this is a very good pair of shoes, with real materials and exquisite workmanship. The soles also meet the devil's requirements. It is a good pair of shoes.
But I just don't know if the size is suitable.
"Give it a try."
The Demon King held the shoes and said to Reina.
Reina hesitated a little, but the shop owner brought a bench over and she sat on the bench.
It turned out that she was worried about what she would do if her feet smelled bad, but the devil didn't know what she was thinking. He just wanted to know whether it would fit her.
At this time, the devil suddenly knelt down and helped her take off her shoes.
"Hey! Master, I can do it myself."
The Demon King ignored her, put the shoes on directly, pinched his fingertips, and found they were empty, and then took off the shoes.
It was just as he thought, it was a bit bigger. No, it should be said that Reina's feet were too small. They didn't look like the feet of a sixteen-year-old.
"Master! Master!! It's so itchy!"
Reina couldn't help shouting. At this time, the devil was squeezing her feet, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Is there a smaller one?"
The devil let go of her feet and turned around to ask.
"We don't have this one. This is the only pair of this style in our store. I dare say I am the only pair in the city."
"It's too big. How much do you pay for it?"
"thirteen thousands."
The price scared Reina, thirteen thousand! That was an astronomical figure.
"It's too expensive, three thousand."
The devil said.
"Impossible, the purchase price is more than this amount, I will lose a lot of money." The boss shook his head and said, seeming very determined.
However, the Demon King smiled slightly. Unfortunately, this little trick was completely useless to him.
"Your shoes have been stored for at least two years. I don't think they can be sold for another two years."
As he spoke, the Demon King knocked on the sole of his shoe, and sure enough, some dust flew out.
The store owner was a little shocked and wondered how he knew. This pair of shoes was originally purchased by him two years ago. Although the channel was not very bright, he still spent a lot of money. Today he finally met someone who caught his eye.
It will definitely take a beating.
"Guest, you guessed wrong. These shoes were just bought last month. They are very new. The dust probably fell in when they were shipped here."
However, his thoughts were completely eavesdropped by the devil. The devil said solemnly: "Huh, don't think I'm just here to buy shoes."
After he finished speaking, a red badge appeared on his chest.
Ah! The red adventurer?
The store owner's heart sank, he didn't expect that the other party was actually from the labor union.
The work of a guild adventurer is very extensive, including investigating unscrupulous merchants, but I don't know if this is the case.
"Well, if you like it, sir, I'll give it to you."
Suddenly the other party's attitude changed and he said with a smile.
"No, three thousand."
After saying that, the devil handed him the money and left with the shoes.
Travel backpacks, clothes, a dozen pairs of socks, good quality water bottles, small shovels, knives, tents, sleeping bags, cups, small pots, etc., he bought a lot of things at once, and the devil's wallet was empty, and he realized that
The bounty of more than 30,000 yuan is not enough to spend. If he hadn't used tricks to lower the price, he would never have been able to buy so many things.
It was almost dusk now, and the two of them were carrying sacks, one large and one small, like two snail shells, ready to go back.
At this moment, I happened to meet Kate.
"Hello."
He greeted the devil politely, and the devil nodded to him.
"You bought a lot of things today." He exclaimed. Of course, he was surprised that these two people could actually carry such heavy things, especially Rena.
"Yeah." Reina frowned and lowered her head.
Just when the devil was about to speak, she suddenly said, "We have to leave."
"Hey? Where are you going?"
Kate wondered, Reina was a blue adventurer like him, so logically she should only be able to work in this city.
Moreover, she did not come to work today.
"I'm going to defeat the devil!"
Reina said with a smile, and the Demon King on the side saw her showing off her strength.
I mean, most people wouldn't say that...
"Devil?! That's impossible!" Kate said with a grimace.
"Nothing is impossible, it's just like magic." Reina suddenly interrupted Kate. She gritted her teeth and continued: "I'll leave tomorrow. Goodbye."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Kate didn't know what to say.
The Demon King glanced at him and then left.
…
At night, Reina sat alone outside the house, looking at the stars.
The devil walked out of the door.
"I've repaired the shoes for you. You can try to see if they fit."
he said.
Reina didn't say anything and put on the black boots. The strange thing was that they fit her feet just right. They were obviously a little bigger in the daytime.
She walked a few steps and felt quite comfortable. Suddenly, she stopped, turned around and asked, "Master, it's strange. I wanted to leave this place before, why do I want to leave now?"
But I’m a little reluctant to give up.”
The Demon King did not answer, and he did not know how to answer. After all, he was not a human being, and he did not have many human emotions.
"You have to find the answer to this question yourself."
he replied.
"It's too late to turn back now. That kid Kate is right. Defeating the Demon King is a bit unrealistic. Are you sure you want to embark on this path?" The Demon King asked calmly.
"Well, no matter what, I will defeat the devil."
Reina responded.
As for the reason, she also said it, but the Demon King didn't know if that was what she meant.
"Okay, go to bed early and leave early tomorrow morning."
