Chapter 1625 Plaster
Obscene Stone Shop.
Angel stood under the sign of this shop, followed by Alan and Glenn.
"This is the shop where my sister came from. Obscene Stone Shop? There must be something fishy about this shop, right?" Alan guessed.
"This is a mortal shop, and there are only a few mortals inside." Glenn said, "Besides, your sister just went in to shop around, and then left. Maybe she just came to buy something."
"My sister is not short of resources, why would she buy something in a mortal shop?" Alan still didn't believe it.
"Go in and ask and you'll know." Angel pushed open the door stop and walked into this not-so-big shop.
From the shop nameplate, it was still difficult for them to guess what this shop was doing. After entering, they found that it was a shop that sold plaster materials.
The air was filled with the smell of plaster.
Originally, plaster had a dull sandy smell, and perhaps it was added with incense, so the smell was not bad. It was just too strong, which immediately reminded people of the noble ladies with heavy makeup at the court banquet.
That's right, plaster is a base material used by ladies for makeup.
In the mortal world, ordinary people only use very primitive plaster powder, which not only hurts the skin, but also has an unnatural color. The specially blended plaster powder is very expensive. It can maintain the skin and make it smoother. It is a special product for the nobles.
This evil stone shop sells specially blended plaster powder.
It covers the characteristics of various countries, such as the "soft and gentle gold" used by the royal family of Yirong, the "sweet dream" of the Principality of Yali, the "water monster" of the Principality of Wunong... and so on. Angel even saw plaster powder from the Old Earth Continent.
This is obviously a store specializing in ladies. Angel and others walked in, causing the customers and shop assistants inside to look sideways.
However, when they saw their temperament, everyone immediately lowered their heads and dared not look at them any more.
Although mortals and extraordinary people all live in the Sky Mechanical City, they have an insurmountable natural chasm. This is not only the living area, but also the daily etiquette.
Angel and others are obviously extraordinary people. The shop assistants and customers dare not look at them for fear of offending them.
"It turned out to be a plaster shop. My sister really liked to play with plaster in the past, but that was before she entered the wizarding world." Alan muttered. There are many witches in the wizarding world, and some of them love beauty, otherwise there would not be any perfume tasting meetings.
So, witches naturally have a lot of makeup on their skin.
Although Alan has never been there, he also knows a little about it. Plaster is for mortals, why is Irene still visiting the plaster shop now?
Facing Alan's doubts, Glenn couldn't help but say: "Have you never tried the pain of not having magic crystals?"
"Do you think all apprentices can make money by making food like you? Many apprentices are unable to make ends meet. Every adventure, every study, purchase of materials, research on tricks... requires a lot of magic crystals. Some formal wizards don't have enough magic crystals, let alone apprentices."
Glenn's complaints obviously brought himself into it. Even if he has a good background, a good mentor, and a good relationship with the top leaders of the Infinite Battle Tower, this does not mean... he is rich!
If he wants magic crystals, he still needs to work diligently to complete tasks or collect materials.
As soon as Allen entered the wizarding world, he entered a candy house with no shortage of magic crystals and resources, and was accepted by Felicia. He didn't have to worry about materials in the Butterfly Tavern, and he only needed to make food to make money.
He simply didn't know the suffering of the world! Glenn sighed in his heart.
As far as Glenn knew, Irene didn't have any special skills. In addition, Irene had just broken through the second-level apprentice and needed to consolidate her realm. The magic crystals on her must be limited, not enough for cultivation, so how could she spend it on makeup?
"So, it's normal for her to spend mortal money to visit the plaster shop." Glenn paused: "Moreover, there are many wizards who are addicted to collecting. There is a woman who loves to collect hats in this Rising Star Competition. They don't care about mortal things or extraordinary things. So, even if your sister has enough magic crystals, she can go to the plaster shop. Maybe she is just addicted to collecting plaster powder?"
Alan was refuted and couldn't say a word. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Angel: "Is what Glenn said true?"
Is magic crystal really that hard to earn?
"Maybe?" Angel hesitated and said.
Glenn looked at the conversation between the two rich people and couldn't help but cover his chest. He felt a little breathless.
Angel coughed and pulled back the topic that had run away: "But this is not the point. I came here to find Irene this time."
Alan also came back to his senses and stopped entangled in the topics of "Why did Irene come to the plaster shop" and "Magic crystals are hard to earn". He walked to the counter with big strides and talked to the clerk.
Or... questioning.
Facing the aggressive Allen, the two shop assistants turned pale and trembled when they spoke.
Allen used a poor illusion to simulate Irene's appearance and questioned several times. The shop assistants kept their mouths shut and shook their heads.
"You don't want to say it?" Allen's face was gloomy.
The shop assistants still shook their heads.
Angel sighed, walked up, and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles. A strange illusion energy penetrated into the clerk's eyebrows.
The clerk, who was pale before, slowly calmed down under the effect of the illusion.
"It's not that they don't want to talk, they are just scared by you. Even if they really remember, they are scared to forget." Glenn also stepped forward at this time, "Besides, they are just mortals, and their brains block most of their unnecessary memories. It's normal even if they can't remember."
After listening, Allen seemed to understand that he was a little too impatient. He swallowed his saliva and spoke again, asking in a calm tone.
"Have you seen her?" Irene's illusion was placed in front of the clerk again.
Angel also used illusions at the right time to stimulate the clerk's memory.
The two clerks looked at each other, and one of them pondered: "I seem to... have a little impression."
The other clerk also said: "Is it the customer who wants to buy "Sea Night Rain Dew"? "
"Yes, yes! It seems to be her. I remember that her appearance and appearance are very outstanding, and her temperament looks like a wizard. "
The two shop assistants confirmed each other's words, and soon, they restored the situation at that time.
Irene did come to this store to buy a kind of plaster powder called "Sea Night Rain Dew", which is a special plaster powder from the Sidamaya Islands. The taste is light, and there is a refreshing feeling that matches the sea.
However, when Irene came, they didn't have "Sea Night Rain Dew" here. Because most of the plaster powders are rich and bright, nine out of ten customers buy rich and bright types, while "Sea Night Rain Dew" is a very rare light type, with very few sales. After it was sold out a year ago, it has not been restocked.
Irene saw that there was no Sea Night Rain Dew, and she didn't buy anything else, so she left.
After the clerk finished speaking, Angel looked at Allen: "What they said is true."
The clerks are all mortals. In front of Allen and others, they can tell at a glance whether their conversation is a lie. Obviously, they didn't lie.
And it makes sense that Irene bought Sea Night Rain Dew. Because the origin of the Sea Night Rain Dew is the Xidamaya Islands, which is actually very close to the White Coral Floating Island Academy.
Irene may have used the Sea Night Rain Dew for these years. After getting used to it, she will naturally come to find the familiar plaster powder.
Since they did not lie, now the search for someone is in a deadlock again. Irene came to this store without any special purpose. Judging from the conversation between the clerks, this store is also normal.
Irene is missing, and there is still no clue.
Alan looked depressed. Now he is in a deadlock again. Is it really only possible to rely on the prophecy wizard?
Just as they were about to leave, one of the clerks suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I remembered one thing. The lady asked us a question when she left."
"She asked if there were other places nearby where I could buy Sea Night Rain Dew."
Alan: "What did you say?"
The clerk said honestly: "I said that Sky Machinery City should not sell Sea Night Rain Dew, but Paradova should have it."
They left the Night Stone Shop.
Allen fell into deep thought at the door of the store: "Paradova... Paradova..."
"Where is Paradova?" Angel asked Glenn curiously.
Glenn replied respectfully: "Paradova is a city in Yirong country, close to the North Sea."
After a pause, Glenn said: "Speaking of which, in the early morning of the month of continuous rain, the Sky Machinery City happened to float near the North Sea, very close to Paradova."
After Glenn finished speaking, Allen stretched out his fist and clapped his hands suddenly, as if he had realized: "That's right, my sister might have gone to Paradova!"
Sarum saw Irene leave the Sky Machinery City, and before Irene left, she had been to this shop selling plaster powder.
Because the Rising Star Competition is about to start, Irene can't leave the Sky Machinery City for no reason. Even if she leaves, she must be near the Sky Machinery City.
Thinking of the last sentence the clerk said, Irene might really go to Paradova to buy the Sea Night Rain Dew.
Because Paradova was very close to Sky Mechanical City at that time, it was definitely possible to go back and forth in one day.
All the things were connected together, and Allen was now 70% to 80% sure that Irene went to Paradova.
After Allen's analysis, Glenn also agreed: "Indeed, she might have gone to Paradova. But as you said, she went to Paradova to buy plaster powder, and she could definitely go back and forth within one day. But until now, she hasn't come back. I'm afraid..."
Although Glenn didn't say the specific result, how could Allen not understand that Irene hadn't come back for so long, it was very likely that something happened on the way.
Allen's face was a little ugly: "Maybe Irene just got lost."
Glenn smiled and didn't expose Allen's lie that he didn't believe himself.
"Anyway, I'm going to Paradova to understand the situation first."
