Chapter 4 Water and Zhuzhihua

"The morning is like blue silk and the evening is like snow...years of lovesickness finally become a dream..."

The actors on the stage sang gracefully one after another, and the makeup on their faces seemed to be weeping, which made people feel sad. With the final bell ringing, the play came to an end.

People lamented the tragedy of the characters in the play, and then were awakened by the bright lights. When they woke up from the immersion in the drama, they felt as if they were in a dream.

After leaving the theater, it was already very late. There were fewer pedestrians on the street, but only a little. There were still many shops open, and people were drinking and eating late night food at roadside stalls and restaurants.

The noisy smoke and smoke of the human world came oncoming.

"I still fell asleep in the second half." Ye Ling rubbed his eyes and walked behind, holding Lorraine Hill's sleeve.

In the theater, she was energetic at first, but then she started to feel sleepy, and then she fell asleep lying on Lorraine Hill's lap. She was not woken up by the girl until the end.

"Did those two people get together in the end?" Eidolon asked Lorraine Hill.

"No, it's a tragedy."

"Well, I didn't watch it anyway, hehe." Ye Ling smiled happily.

"I spent money and read sad stories, and I will become a fool."

"I feel like you have scolded a lot of people with your words." Lorraine Hill touched the little guy's head, and the hair on it was very soft.

"Haha~ I'm very smart."

The two returned to the hotel, ate something first, and then went to sleep.

A quiet night passed.

The next day, Harbor Market.

"Come, come, come, we have the finest black pearls from the West Sea, agarwood from the land of red berries, and snow cliff wine from the far west, we have it all~"

"The elixir that is used by the students of Emenas will make your practice seven steps faster."

"The Canghong Empire's dyed red yarn has limited goods, and each person is limited to one piece."

"Ben Lei Guo from the Nagarjuna Xuegen Sect, come here if you know what you are doing."

As soon as Lorraine Hill walked into the market at the seaport, his ears were drowned by the sounds of all kinds of shouts, and a mixed smell came from the tip of his nose. Some were spices, some were the medicinal fragrance used to repel insects in the goods, and some were...

The smell of sweat from pedestrians and the unique fishy smell of the seaside.

She gently covered her cheeks with her hands, glanced across the market, and walked inside step by step. Behind the girl, there were two sergeants carrying boxes, which contained closely arranged potions.

"Just put it here, thank you for your hard work." After arriving at an open space, Lorraine Hill asked the two of them to put it down.

"It's okay, I'm willing to serve you." The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, and then left.

Before coming, Lorraine Hill paid the two of them a potion as a reward. These words came from the bottom of his heart. Lorraine Hill had a very good reputation in the fleet. After all, he was such an approachable big man.

But it was very rare. Occasionally, someone would ask questions about practice, and Lorraine Hill would patiently answer them.

After scanning the market with her senses, Lorraine Hill found that the person she was waiting for had not arrived yet, so she was not in a hurry and stood here waiting, just in time to take a look at the colorful products in the market.

Although she is also a big shot in the Western Continent, some gadgets in the market still feel new to her and she has never seen them before.

Although some things were made in the Western Continent, they were not very popular in the Empire or Crancia. Instead, they came to the East and were very popular among people, such as certain special spices, bright and colorful bird feathers, etc.

Of course, there are some things that are popular in both the East and the West, but are in short supply on the other side due to inconvenient transportation, such as the popular gramophone music boxes in the Western Continent, the bright red cloth of the Empire, the special fruits of the Eastern Dynasty, and porcelain

Tea sets, etc.

After standing for a while, Lorraine Hill saw that the other party was still not coming, so he simply sat on the box, with his feet hanging in the air and gently swaying with his skirt.



Just when Lorraine Hill thought those people weren't coming, he finally heard approaching footsteps.

The leader I saw yesterday turned his eyes and searched around, and his companions behind him were also helping to search.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xuemo, because I took so long." The woman he saw yesterday apologized in a low voice.

"Stop talking about it now. Let's look for it quickly. I hope the young lady is still waiting for us."

It was already noon at this time, many people in the market began to take a rest and prepare to have a meal, and the sound of hawking was also reduced a lot.

"Have you found it? Let me tell you in advance that in our industry, we start counting time. Even if you don't reach a deal, you will not refund your money." An old man with a goatee wearing a robe and a mirror pattern printed on the back was behind.

remind.

"Yes, we know." After saying that, they separated again and prepared to search.

Fortunately, Lorraine Hill saw a few people waving in advance, which made them relieved.

"I'm sorry, madam, it has troubled you to wait for so long." The tour leader apologized.

"Actually, we also wanted to come early, and we didn't want to be delayed by something happening in the middle." The woman from behind stepped forward and added.

"It's okay, just come." Lorraine Hill easily jumped off the big box and came to a few people.

"Do you want to inspect the goods?"

"Yes, please open the box."

"Here's the key, here it is."

Although the girl could push open the heavy box lid herself, she still felt that it would not have too much of a visual impact, so she did not do it herself.

"Thank you." After saying that, the team leader took the key, opened the small lock on the box, and then opened the thick wooden box, revealing the neatly arranged green potions inside.

These medicines are arranged in a row of 10, with 10 rows in a large grid, and two large grids on one layer, which is 200 medicines. There are six layers in total, which is 1,200 medicines. There are soft cloths between the layers to prevent collisions.

Looking at these potions, each of which was placed in a round-hole wooden rack, several people's eyes shone. Although they had not checked yet, the neat arrangement and consistent and deep color gave people a professional look.

Visual impact.

"Please ask the master to help with the inspection." His fingers touched the corks tightly packed on these potions, and the team leader gave up his position, allowing the appraiser behind him to step forward.

"Let me take a look."

The old man took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, then took out a potion, observed it carefully, shook it, then opened the cork and smelled the smell.

"The color is pure, full of magic power, full of vitality..." He said each word to evaluate, then poured out a little more, applied it on his arms, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

"How are you, Master?" Several people on the side asked curiously.

"Very good, very good, very good." He said several good words in succession.

"Such a high-quality potion, this tube should be of gold-level quality, and if this box is all of this level, it would be priceless."

Even the well-informed appraiser was filled with emotion. He looked at the girl standing aside with an appraising look, guessing who she was and who could produce so many high-end potions.

Even for the Wanzi Qianhong Valley, which is famous for its alchemy and medicine refining, it is not a simple matter to suddenly come up with such a batch of goods. These are usually directly supplied to the dynasty or other large sects and will not be lost among the people.

"Ah, is it so high?" Upon hearing such comments, several people took a deep breath, opened their mouths, and were speechless.

The price of an ordinary gold-level potion is between dozens of gold pots. Although healing potions are relatively common and slightly lower in price, even the most common gold-level potion costs more than 20 gold pots. Moreover, according to this appraisal expert

, the quality of these potions is extremely good, and I am afraid that it will cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 gold pots to obtain. With this amount, they estimate that hundreds of people would have to go without food or drink for several years to earn it. Now they have the remaining gold.

The total sum of the dishes is only a thousand, not even one-tenth.

"Are you sure that the quality of each one is the same? Maybe the one you took out is better?" The grumpy strong man from before said in a rough voice.

"Aoniu!" the leader of the group interrupted him sharply, then turned around.

"Miss, you said before that as long as we take you on the same journey back to Nanfengzhou, you can give us this batch of goods, right?"

"That's right." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"Although we are delighted with such a great gift, the current situation in the sect is critical, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pay you enough gold in return. I am afraid that it will take many years before I can repay you for your kindness, eldest lady."

"It's okay." Lorraine Hill shook her head, she was not short of money.

Afterwards, they closed the box and talked to Lorraine Hill about their future plans.

"How about I invite the eldest lady to go to the restaurant for lunch together. We can discuss it in detail then. It's not too early now." At this time, several people also reacted. They looked at the scorching sun at noon and agreed.

"OK."

Afterwards, several people carefully lifted the box and walked out of the market with Lorraine Hill.

Arriving at a famous restaurant in the harbor, a few people went straight to the third floor and opened two tables. Among them, the leader, a woman with crimson bangs, and Lorraine Hill shared a table with three people. As for the others, there was another table.

table.

After all, if they were all sitting together, only one person in Lorraine Hill would feel a bit oppressive due to the overwhelming number of people. The team leader still understood this.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Xuemo. I am from Zheluozhou. This is Wei Lengyan, who is from Shuizhuzhou and is also a member of the same branch." He introduced himself and then talked about the people around him.

This woman with dark red bangs.

"Hello, Miss." Because she didn't know Lorraine Hill's name yet, she could only call her like this.

"My name is... Jia Lan, from Min Zezhou." Luo Lanxier thought about it for a while and answered like this. Luo is one of the imperial surnames, so it is not suitable to say it.

"Hello, Miss Jialan." The two of them were not too surprised that Lorraine Hill didn't say his last name. It was normal to be a little cautious when going out.

After introducing each other, Lorraine Hill asked curiously, "Is Leng Yan from Shuizhuzhou?"

"Yes." The woman seemed used to being asked curiously like this, and then explained.

"Shui Zhuzhou is indeed far away from the southern continents. I ran away from home due to some special circumstances."

"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded slightly, and then looked at the strand of dark red hair in front of his forehead.

This color is incompatible with the black hair at the back, and it has a striking and eye-catching feeling, but the girl can feel that this is not an ordinary dyeing, but the result of some secret method.

'The vermilion of water bloom, the color of mercury' Shuizhuzhou is rich in cinnabar, and the local red dyeing skills are also famous all over the world. Many of the best red sand and lipsticks in the dynasty come from this continent. The girl used to work in Xiangyu

During the dispatch, there were many seniors and junior sisters buying cosmetics from Shuizhuzhou, and Shuizhuzhou was located south of Huiluzhou and east of Huaxuzhou, not too far away.

While the three of them were talking, the hotel clerk also brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one, including light and delicious fish soup, red and spicy stir-fried vegetables, steamed soft and glutinous pastries, etc., which were all very complete.

During the conversation, Lorraine Hill also slowly learned about the structure of Tuoshi Hall.

Except for the main hall in Nanfengzhou, each continent has a branch hall, and then each county has a branch rudder. During inland water transportation, the person in charge of the helm is usually the leader or leader, so later the helmsman was also used to call the branch rudder.

's leader.

"We are members of the Qingji Branch of Qingqizhou. Qingqizhou is located to the north of Nanfengzhou and south of Fuyun Lake. It is one of the twenty-two southern continents."

"This time, the branch sent an order for our branch to organize personnel to go overseas to purchase drugs. That's why we ended up here."

"That's it." Lorraine Hill ate in small bites and nodded to express his understanding.

Are they just the branch leaders? No wonder they said it would be difficult to find Uncle Yu, and they don’t know if their main church has rosters for each branch church.

"Then when are you planning to leave?"

"We will set off in about two days. I wonder what Ms. Jialan's plans are?"

"I'm available anytime."

"This is the best, um... let's do this. How about I ask Leng Yan to follow you so that I can keep in touch with you at any time and help you share some small things? What do you think?"

"That's okay, I haven't been back to the Dynasty for a long time, and there are many things I want to know."

After the meal, the three of them said goodbye temporarily, and Lorraine Hill also took Leng Yan back to his residence.

After walking into the hotel and seeing the sergeants wearing armor sitting in the lobby, the member of Tuoshi Hall realized that the identity of this young lady might be very unusual.

"Help arrange a room for Miss Leng Yan. It would be better if it is closer to mine." Lorraine Hill came to the counter.

"This, I'm afraid, is more difficult, because the room you are staying in is our best room, and now the surrounding area is full." The clerk looked embarrassed. Now the hotel has been booked by Lorraine Hill's fleet.

Naturally, there is no need to reserve a room for other guests, so why would a good room remain empty?

"That's it..."

"It's okay, I'll just stay in an ordinary room." Wei Lengyan, who had been shocked by the sergeants in the hotel for a long time, couldn't be picky. She even felt that if this young lady hadn't led the way, she might have been captured as soon as she entered the hotel.

Even though these people looked so nice in front of Miss Jialan, she could tell that these sergeants had experienced hands. The calluses between their palms, their cold eyes, and their aura were all extraordinary.

Soldiers can compare.

These people may have come from the elite of the army. Maybe this team was an imperial envoy directly under the dynasty.

After arranging Wei Lengyan to stay, Lorraine Hill returned to the room, rested for a while, reviewed the knowledge he had learned before, and then condensed the magic power of Mana for three hours before opening his eyes again.

The faint golden brilliance dissipated from the pupils of the eyes, and the golden-red scales on Lorraine Hill's forehead also dissipated and disappeared. Then the magic power restrained and became gentle and lifeless again.

What she is practicing now is not the Natural Sequence, but the Dragon Sequence "Flame Ray Transformation Technique", because it is more convenient to search for dragon veins and explore secret realms in the Eastern Continent. As for the combat power, there is no need to worry. If you can't defeat it, you can

Switch back to Natural Sequence 8·Fuyao Blue Bird at any time. With the blessing of the crown and power, she will not be at a disadvantage even when facing a witch of Sequence 9.

"It's time to wake up Ye Ling for dinner. This little guy has been sleeping all day, so he must be hungry."

After getting out of bed, Lorraine Hill knocked on the door of Eidolon's room.
