Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 519: “Dating”
Chapter 520 "Dating"
"..." Li couldn't answer for a long while. Obviously this answer was too shocking for her.
"Why don't you prepare an umbrella for me?" Xia Fan protested.
"You are a man, playing with an umbrella will reduce your demeanor." Olena suppressed the upward movement of her mouth, pretending to be a serious reply, "Isn’t there a saying in Qiguo that goes to the countryside? You can use high Felt hats and cloaks are used to prevent accidents, but I am not prepared for this kind of clothing."
Suddenly an umbrella leaned over.
Li stretched out his hand and raised the handle of the umbrella, covering Xia Fan also, "Should we share one."
"This..." Olena was dumb for a while, she hadn't figured out how to dissuade her, Xia Fan had already taken the umbrella in the hands of the fox demon grandiosely.
How can a gentleman do this kind of thing!
This umbrella is only the size of one person. Isn’t it true that no one can cover it when two people share it?
Sure enough, he is a demeanorless guy!
Orina was slanderous, but Ke Li's expression was not reluctant. She was obviously willing to do so. She forcibly stopped it but was inconsistent with the atmosphere, so she could only hold the words in her stomach.
The practice of two people holding an umbrella together attracted the attention of many people on the street.
Low whispers and whispers are endless.
And Xia Fan not only did not have the slightest embarrassment, but also took the initiative to look at each other and did not shy away from eye contact. This move also made many women and women's eyes brightened.
As a rare oriental, Xia Fan wears and dresses with a distinctive exotic style. The foundation of his height and appearance is also placed there, plus the imposing bonus brought by the emotional person, which is obviously the same **** with the surroundings. Competitors widened the gap. While covering their mouths and laughing, they looked up and down without evasiveness, and the curiosity in their eyes was self-evident.
This time it's Olena's turn to feel stressed.
After all, others are not embarrassed, and the embarrassing becomes her herself-it is obvious that three people travel, but two of them are very close. Doesn't this mean that the remaining one becomes a superfluous person.
The fact is just as she expected, and the focus of passers-by quickly shifted from Xia Fan to her.
Someone is already guessing what the relationship between these three people is.
Dragon Girl's face is not as thick as Xia Fan after all.
Despite a hundred reluctance in her heart, Olena can only choose to approach Xia Fan, pretending to be inadvertent and covering his other shoulder.
"So, where do you want to visit?" she asked coldly.
Xia Fan was a little puzzled. The other party was in a very good mood before going out. Why did it suddenly become cloudy? "Uh... Are you uncomfortable? Why don't you go back and rest."
He noticed. Olena sighed secretly, her tone softened a little, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. I have been to Azure Castle several times before. Places worth seeing include the pier, the market, the auction house and the lord's castle. But. Auction houses generally don’t open until the evening, so you can visit other places first."
"Auction house? What is that?" Li curiously asked.
In the face of the fox monster, Olina’s attitude is obviously much better, “Some rare things do not have a fixed price and are not suitable for sale in the market. Therefore, everyone gathers together to bid each other, and finally get the higher price. Because there is often a price for each item, and someone needs to be in charge of it, it has evolved into an auction house."
"This kind of transaction generally has an entry threshold, isn't anyone can go?" Xia Fan interjected.
"You know a lot." The Dragon Girl glanced at him, "Even in the auction house, there are many subdivisions inside. The top level naturally has to be recommended by rich merchants or nobles, and is for ordinary people. There are not so many requirements for public auctions, as long as you buy a ticket. Of course, if you want to participate in it, you have to do a simple property certification."
"It sounds interesting!" Li couldn't help wagging his tail.
"Of course, even though Azure Fort is only the third largest port, the volume of cargo transactions is not lower than that of the other two cities. It is connected to the border of the royal capital Hilla, and has a wide inland river directly connected to it, and some shuttles through the peaceful sea. Even if the fleet chooses to circumvent the islands for half a circle, it will come to Azure Port to unload, not to mention choosing Dongjin expedition itself."
"What did these expeditions find?" Xia Fan asked.
"The main purpose is to find new land and sea areas, such as the Eastern Continent and Twilight Sea, which have been popular areas in recent years. As for the spice, ores, treasures and confusing lost treasures brought back, then All by-products."
"Lost treasure?"
"Similar to a stunt. Especially gold and silver utensils and currency, they are almost all counterfeit goods." Olena sneered at this, "With the same materials, as long as you can bear the name of the lost treasure, The price will increase several times. In the final analysis, people’s desire for the Holy Grail has contributed to this trend. According to the church’s records, the Holy Grail itself is a lost treasure given to the world by God."
Xia Fan's heart suddenly clicked, "So, is the ancient coin in Qianyan's hand also forged?"
As early as on the road, a thousand words allowed Olena to carefully observe the coin, but the latter could not recognize the meaning of the words above.
"I don’t rule out this possibility." The Dragon Girl nodded slightly, "If that thing is very meaningful to her, maybe it’s not a bad thing to keep it as a mystery. But when you mention it, I remember it, when it comes to identifying antiquities, No one should be more skilled than the experts at the top auction houses. If she just wants to find the truth, maybe she can try it there."
Do you want to find an auction house for appraisal?
This may be a good choice.
However, the auction house will not open until the evening, and a thousand words are not interested in accompany them to press the road, so Xia Fan did not make a decision immediately, but said to Olena, “In that case, let’s go to the market area first. ."
As the saying goes, a city’s market can indirectly reveal its own prosperity, and this sentence also applies to the West Pole. The market area at Olena’s mouth already has the prototype of a commercial street. There are only a few open-air stalls, and most of them are fixed stores, and they use conspicuous signs to indicate their goods and characteristics; looking around, a street The signs in Shanglin are colorful, just like flowers.
There are also a large number of customers and merchants haunting here, ranging from well-groomed wealthy families to civilian sailors in plain clothes. Ragged beggars are also a common sight. Almost every street will have a group of "beggars" gathered in groups.
"Pay attention to your wallet and keep away from those people." Olena warned, "Some of them are underground rats. They often use sympathy to conceal their true purpose. Foreign visitors like you are their most important Preferred target."
Xia Fan didn't care about this. After being trained by Li for so long, most people don't even want to approach him silently.
"Xia Fan, I want to eat that." Li pointed to a glass can placed on a store shelf—the contents inside were distinct and red in color, like top-grade fish roe.
But from the signboard, this seems to be a pastry shop.
Since the fox demon had spoken, Xia Fan would naturally not refuse. He took out several copper coins that he had exchanged from the reception staff and bought a can.
Opening the lid, he realized that it was a kind of jam.
Before eating, a tempting aroma came over.
Li took a scoop with the included wooden spoon, put it in his mouth, and his eyes instantly narrowed.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Hmm!" She nodded ~IndoMTL.com~It is sweeter than sugar cane and has the fragrance of apple! "
"Good eyesight." Olena smiled, "The Enchanted Jam is one of the specialties of Azure Fort. It is like a fruit when it is first imported. After a period of time, it will produce a peculiar aroma of wine. It is considered the most popular in the city. Welcome dessert condiments."
"That shop seems a bit interesting, let's go and take a look." Li found a new goal again.
Xia Fan has nothing to do with her.
In other words, this is what he intended to bring Li to the market area.
A one-month sea journey will inevitably feel boring and tired. Shopping and buying is undoubtedly a good way to relax.
Of course, this kind of thing is not so attractive to him.
Compared to the dazzling array of goods in the shop, Xia Fan was instead attracted by a few chimneys not far away with billowing white smoke.
"Where is it?"
"It should be a factory." Olena followed his gaze. "A lot of goods shipped to the market need to be processed in advance. There are many factories like this in the market area."
