Vol.1 - Chapter 112 – Lantern Night Market

(The wise do not enter the river of love, it is difficult for them to be wise when they meet you - fools)

Su Li pondered.

He weighed the pros and cons of giving the dragon's name.

The advantage was that because of the existence of the Black Night Pendant, Aomie should not be able to go to the Dragon God Temple without being able to devour him.

The reason he knew this was simple.

It was mainly because the Dragon Ball was still intact in the Dragon God Temple.

And, through the request of the imaginary dragon Dickens last time, Su Li learned that Aomie had not returned to the Dragon God Temple before returning to the God's Seat.

This was not difficult to confirm, because if Aomie gave a divine revelation, the True Spirit Society would definitely do everything possible to capture him.

Mourinho also said that the true god would not easily respond to his followers.

So, for Su Li, a poor god, as long as he made a simple response to Joan of Arc, he would get the 300 pounds of money, which was quite a good deal.

The disadvantage was that directly giving out the dragon's name could be traced back to its source.

At that time, there would be no way to explain it.

Thinking of this, Su Li came up with a compromise.

He recalled the angel feathers and the small bottle of blood given to him by Teacher Mourinho.

Could he give them a little bit of his own blood, and then use his knowledge of mysticism to directly complete this matter through projection?

Of course, this required asking the teacher's opinion.

To see if this deal could be done.

Thinking of this, Su Li teased them and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll find a way for you later."

After ending the conversation with the two of them, the cable car had already reached a high position.

At this time, Loras was tapping on the window of the cable car, gesturing with his hand to indicate the three of them to enjoy the magnificent scenery ahead.

Under the sky, the setting sun was melting gold.

The huge sunset gradually descended behind the Budra Mountain.

Enveloping this mountain town that seemed to be split in half by a giant sword due to mineral excavation.

On the contour of the mountain peaks in the shape of a "concave" character, the stacked buildings built against the mountain shell appeared particularly magical with the golden edges plated by the setting sun.

This was a giant town dominated by steam and machinery teachings.

Large mining machines were slowly turning, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard.

As the cable car approached Budra, the distant lights gradually lit up.

Overlooking the densely populated city-state below the high altitude, houses were built along the mountain ridge, and the interior of the mountain, which was dug out like a volcanic crater, was filled with interlaced corridors, each with its own style.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the cable cars stopped one by one, and many pedestrians got off and went to the main city area, while Su Li's two teams continued to go down by cable car and entered the mining area along the mountain pass.

That was the true paradise for adventurers.

As a no-man's-land, there were many legal private mines here, and as long as you were willing to pay a certain entrance fee, anyone could go to the abandoned mining area to try their luck.

And Lilith and the others' destination was the shops around the private mines.

There, not only were the special crystal mines of Budra sold, but also various materials with mystical significance.

With the sound of the cable car stopping, the six of them successively got off the cable car and entered the deep and bustling Budra mining area.

Loras and the others looked around in excitement.

There were people wearing various armors everywhere, mixed with various sub-humans who had continued to exist due to distortions.

Some of them had wolf-like facial features, some had pointed ears and handsome appearances.

There were also some goblins pushing carts, selling cheap food and tea.

"Pass by, don't miss it, the latest excavated raw stones, try your luck!"

"Get a cup of thirst-quenching Paniel rye beer, only three pence!"

"Pies, hot fruit pies!"

"If you can't afford it, don't move, this is the best Firetooth Crystal."

...

"There are many stalls over there, let's go and take a look."

Joan of Arc excitedly pointed to the stalls on the edge of the square and said.

The sun had just set.

As the sky gradually darkened.

The lantern stalls had already started to set up.

In the distance, lights lit up one by one, like fireflies winding forward, illuminating each small stall.

This was the ghost market that Lilith mentioned.

Lilith looked at the four noble boys who had never seen the world with excitement and nodded, saying, "Let's go, let's just wander around."

The six of them stood out in their attire, two in Night Watch uniforms and four in luxurious clothing. Many people in the crowd intentionally or unintentionally glanced over here.

But the people here were much more knowledgeable than the poor people on Plinsk Street.

This group of six people was obviously not easy to provoke.

Passing through the bustling crowd, the six of them arrived at a stall.

On the stall, various crystals of different sizes were neatly arranged. Some emitted a faint pale green fluorescence, and some were polished to remove a corner of the stone skin, revealing a translucent inner core.

Simon bent down and picked up a fist-sized blue crystal. It was very transparent, and just a glance at it made people feel a little dizzy."Young master, you certainly have a good eye. This is the best gemstone on my stall, the Thai blue crystal. It's an excellent choice for making necklaces."

The green-skinned goblin, short in stature with big eyes, held up a lantern with a glass cover in his hand and enthusiastically introduced.

Simon was clearly interested and asked with a smile:

"This gemstone is indeed beautiful. If made into a bracelet, it would be a perfect gift for my mother. How much is it, boss?"

The goblin boss held up four fingers and said seriously:

"You are indeed a filial child. Seeing that you appreciate the value and sincerely want to buy, I'll charge you 40 pounds!"

"40 pounds!" Joan of Arc raised her voice from the side.

The goblin boss was startled, thinking the price was too high. He was ready to haggle and retorted:

"This is already a very fair price! If, I mean if, it were placed in those big shops, or directly made into a bracelet, such a large Thai blue stone would sell for at least 400 pounds! You, with your noble status, should know."

Loras followed with admiration:

"Yes, this is too cheap."

Lilith, who was standing by, was speechless. Seeing Simon ready to pay, Lilith reached out her hand to stop the young nobles who didn't know the value, and said to the goblin stall owner:

"Are you sure this is a Thai blue stone? It looks more like a Heim crystal to me."

Su Li was puzzled:

"Heim crystal? Isn't that a cheap crystal with certain pollution?"

Heim crystal and Thai blue stone look very similar.

However, Thai blue stone is a kind of gentle gemstone, while Heim crystal is a low-quality gemstone that is harmful to the human body.

Simon's action of taking out money froze, and he asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

Lilith sneered:

"This stone is fine to look at, but not suitable for making accessories."

"In my opinion, it's worth..."

As Lilith spoke, she also held up four fingers.

"Four pounds?" Joan of Arc asked in confusion.

Su Li shook his head. He had seen this kind of stone in books on mysticism. Its main function was to serve as a vessel, or to be crushed and soaked in a bottle to make a hallucinogenic drug.

It was mainly used by fraudulent sorcerers.

"Four pennies."

Lilith answered.

Hearing this answer, all four nobles were dumbfounded.

The gap was too big.

The goblin boss was angry:

"If you're not buying, don't talk nonsense. Even for making jewelry, it's worth at least ten pounds!"

Lilith looked at the naive young men and said lightly:

"If you make a bracelet with this stone and wear it for a while, her skin will gradually become red and swollen. If not removed in time, the wearer will feel dizzy and nauseous, fall into hallucinations, and have thoughts of self-harm."

"As jewelry to harm people, this thing can indeed be worth that price."

"The premise is, the maker must be well protected, wearing a face mask and gloves."

As she spoke, Lilith pointed to Su Li's Night's Watch coat and said to the goblin boss:

"Check the clothes before selling goods, otherwise if you get caught, you won't have a chance to set up a stall in the future."

The goblin boss raised his lantern a little higher, saw Su Li's clothes clearly, and was startled. He quickly said:

"Inspector, I'm sorry, I didn't see clearly and sold the wrong thing! This thing is indeed only worth four pennies. If you need it, I can wrap it up for you."

Before Simon and the others could respond, Lilith said without asking:

"Let's go, let's check out other stalls. I'll take you to buy some real good stuff."
