Chapter 262
Although for the fairy in paradise, the journey was a failure, and the end of the journey was only despair and pain that was colder than winter.
However, meeting her companions is the only happiness worth cherishing for her.
Goblins are selfish and not worthy of being saved... But Habertlot is different from the Black Knight and the Rain Clan who adopted her.
The life experiences of Savior Ash and Arturia Castor are completely opposite.
The savior has experienced four wars: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Artoria Castel has four memories: winter, autumn, summer and spring.
The childhood of the savior Ji was happy and perfect. The Rain clan who adopted her did not regard her as an alternative and loved her as if they were their own children.
Arturia Castor's childhood was painful, because the village that adopted her hated her and only waited for her to show her worth so that she could be sold for a good price.
The savior Ash was betrayed by goblins in the second half of his life. He was disappointed with goblins and decided to deprive all goblins of their freedom and put them under absolute control.
Artoria Castor met Chaldea after despair. Although she was still far from true happiness, she did have a partner she could trust.
What Ai hopes for is a trip like this, where there are no responsibilities imposed by the paradise, and he can just enjoy the scenery of the journey with his companions, while worrying and laughing about the trivial things encountered during the journey.
"Since I'm going to stay in this city for about three days, I'll go and settle the issue of where to stay for the night."
With a smile on his blue eyes, Ai glanced at the three of them, "Is there anyone with me?"
The first one to speak was Fulian.
"There is a place I want to visit. I was a little interested when I passed by there before, but I need Shutark to come with me."
Feilun frowned upon hearing this.
"Then I want to go with you. It would be bad if Lord Fulilian takes Lord Shytark to some bad place and leads Lord Shytark astray."
Hugh Tucker was ashamed, "I'm not a child, how could I be led astray so easily..."
Fulilian looked disappointed, "What image do I have in Feilun's heart..."
Because Fulilian and Xiutarke couldn't defeat Philan, they finally decided that Ai would go find the hotel alone, and Xiutarke and Phyllon would follow Fulilian to visit the places Fulilian cared about.
"Okay, remember to go early and come back early."
Ai shrugged helplessly, and then said to Feilun: "Remember to keep an eye on them, Feilun, don't let them wander into any suspicious places."
When Ai said this, Shutarke and Fulian were even more disappointed.
Hugh Tucker & Fulian: "Why did even Qie say that..."
And...if they were like easily influenced children in Fei Lun's mouth, then they turned into puppies that ran around in Ae's mouth.
After bidding farewell to Ash briefly in dejection, Frillian took Shutark and Fearon to the city's street market.
To describe this place in one word, it is chaos.
In order to gain an advantage, vendors from various countries even occupy the middle lane, making the space in the middle very narrow.
Moreover, the location of the vendors is very irregular, and there is no one to manage them. Most of them just spread a piece of cloth and put up a roof and start selling goods.
Being dirty doesn't count. After all, cleaning and removing germs is much easier in this world where magic is popularized than in the ordinary world, but chaos and noise are unavoidable.
Fearon frowned when he first came here.
"Lord Frilian, what are we doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to buy something."
Frillian replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
However, Fulian's words made Fearon's brows frown even deeper.
"If you want to buy something, can't you go to those regular stores? You have to come to a place like this where there is a mixture of good and bad. No matter how you look at it, I don't think there is anything good here."
"Humph! You don't understand this, do you? Philon."
Fulilian snorted three times proudly, "It is precisely because this place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Vendors from all countries in the mainland will come here. According to probability theory, the chance of good things appearing here is not small. However, some businessmen with little discernment accidentally obtained it." It’s very common to find a very valuable treasure without being able to see its value, and then sell it here at a very low price, allowing us to take advantage of it...”
Fearon always felt that what Fulilian said was inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard something similar somewhere...
"Lord Fulilian, where did you see these?"
"From the story book written by Ji."
"..."
Fearon no longer knew what expression to show.
"Lord Fulilian, are those things just imaginary? They are false and cannot be trusted."
"No, you're wrong, Philon."
Fulilian paused, retracted her gaze from observing the surrounding merchandise, and turned to Faylan.
"The world of magic is the world of imagination. For us magicians, as long as we are willing to believe, it is not impossible to turn the world upside down."
"That's the case with Ash. Her imagination surpasses all of us. That's why her magical attainments are so powerful. She can even perform the magic that appears in those stories in reality."
"So, Philon, we should also believe in ourselves and believe that we can do the same thing."
Because Fulilian's tone contained quite strong confidence, even Feilun was shaken for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.
"But, Lady Frilian, what we are going to do next has nothing to do with magic, right? You just want to gamble on luck."
Seeing that Feilun was not fooled by him, Fulian continued.
"Do you think I will only rely on luck? I am a magician who has lived for a thousand years. How can I rely on something as ethereal as luck?"

Chapter 461: Fulilian’s private money.
"Don't you want to gamble on luck?"
Fearon was gradually infected by Fulilian's confidence, and began to trust Fulilian unconsciously.
‘Yes, Lady Fulilian is a magician who has lived for a thousand years. Since she is so confident, she must have her own way. ’
"Could it be that, Lady Fulilian, you have magic that can identify the value of objects?"
"No, how could I have such convenient magic?"
Fulilian poured a basin of cold water down, which also calmed down Fearon.
"...That's right. After all, Ms. Fulilian always spent a lot of money on useless things when she was shopping in the prop store."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about! All I see are valuable and useful things, okay?"
"Then can you please tell me, Lady Fulilian, what is the use of the book you bought last time that 'all the words written on it will disappear in one minute'?"
"...Well, at least most of it is valuable."
Coughing twice to hide her inner embarrassment, Fulilian said seriously: "I'm talking about eyesight. Eyesight. As a magician who has lived for thousands of years, my eyesight and experience are my biggest basis. If this place is real, What precious treasure has appeared, I can definitely tell it at a glance!”
Fearon's eyes turned dull.
At this moment, she was thinking about what kind of expression she should show better now.
Unlike Philan, whose eyes were almost dead, Fulian became more and more excited as she talked.
"That's right! Just like the story that Ai told, the protagonist has golden eyes that can see through the value of everything, and then starts a series of slap-in-the-face plots about Long Aotian while appreciating antiques!"
By the way, Fulian learned the words "slap in the face" and "Long Aotian" from Ai.
"Moreover! I learned a great bargaining skill from Qie's story, and I just want to take this opportunity to put it into practice! To sum it up... I think I'm terrifyingly strong now!"
After saying that, Frilian took Houtalk's hand, locked onto a vendor and walked over.
"Let's go! Hugh Tucker, I need you to hold up the scene for me."
"So I'm here to support your bargaining?"
After some hearty and enthusiastic bargaining, Fulian bought a pot from a vendor.
According to Fulilian, this pot was an antique from the Unified Empire period. When Fulilian arrived at the hotel that Ai had found, she proudly showed him the antique pot she bought and talked about how much advantage she had taken. Something like that.
Ash took the pot that Fulian bought in his hand and looked at it carefully, then made an expressionless evaluation.
"This is a fake."
Then Fulian burst into tears.
It can be roughly divided into three steps: pacing, rolling, and crying.
Fearon touched Fulilian's head, but what she said was not heart-warming comfort, but cold and heartbreaking words like "Lord Fulilian bought another rag."
Well, Fulian cried louder and sadder.
"I'm not talking about you, Frillian."
Ash pinched the bridge of his nose as if he had a headache, and said to Fulian: "You are the only one here who has lived from the unified empire period to now, right? You can't even tell if this is something from that period?"
This continent had only one country a long time ago, the so-called unified empire.
Fulian's master, Volame, is the court magician of the Unified Empire. In other words, the Unified Empire has existed for thousands of years, and it was not until a few hundred years ago that it split into the current countries.
At the same time, because of the existence of Volame, the Unified Empire was also the first country to study magic and the first country to use magic in the military. Frilian once said that at its peak, the streets were full of magic. make.
Although the unified empire has been divided and ceased to exist, the culture of the empire has not completely disappeared. In the north, the empire still exists, and it is still the most powerful country.
At the beginning, the demons captured a lot of land and destroyed many small countries. Humanity also had to shrink its defense lines, so that during that period, the empire was in the territory of the demons. However, the empire was able to survive in that situation again and again. The ability to repel the demons and defend the country shows how powerful the empire is.
By the way, the relationship between the Empire and the Continental Magic Association is a little bad, because the Empire always insists that they are the origin of human magic civilization and are orthodox. Because Volamei, who created the human magic system, comes from their country, so it has no regard for magic on the mainland. The management of the envoy should belong to the Empire rather than the Continental Magic Association.
However, it is impossible for the empire to ignore Celie who is in charge of the Continental Magic Association. As long as Celie is there, the empire will not dare to do anything.
Celie should be a character from the mythological period. She has mentioned more than once that "since humans created the so-called civilization", as if she had seen the origin of human civilization with her own eyes. If there really is a goddess of creation in this world , the one who is most likely to have seen the goddess is Celie.
Living from the mythical period to the present, it is difficult to imagine how many kinds of magic Celia possesses and how powerful the magic power is.
Fulian was from the period of the unified empire. When she was very young, her village was attacked by demons. All the elves except Fulian were killed. Only Fulian weakly commanded the opponent by showing off to the enemy. He relaxed his vigilance and killed the enemy to save his life. Later, he was picked up by Volame and accepted as his disciple.
"The forgery technique is not very clever... I really don't understand why you were tricked."
Ai looked at the pot in his hand for a few more times, and then asked Fulilian: "So, how much money did you spend on this piece of junk?"
"Ten silver coins..."
"How much?! Ten silver coins?!"
Ai looked at Fulilian in disbelief, "Do you believe it? If I spend ten copper coins on this thing, my boss would sell me two of them with a smile and give me another one as a gift?"
"Master Ash, if you continue to speak, I feel that Lady Fulilian will be embarrassed to live."
Ash glared at Fulilian and said in an incomprehensible tone: "If it weren't impossible, I would really like to recommend an anti-fraud APP to you...and it's the kind only for the elderly."
After sighing, Qi's tone was full of helplessness.
"Now, let's go find the vendor who sold Fulilian the pot. If he is still there, we can return it to him. Although I think there is a high probability that the guy has already taken the money and ran away... If it is true, If you can’t find it, then think of it as buying a lesson.”
"Anyway, we made a lot of money from exploring the underground ruins last time. It doesn't hurt even if we suffer a small loss. Spending money to buy lessons is the unique right of rich people like us!"
Of course, what Ai was talking about was the experience he had when he encountered the Mother Gem Insect.
Because it was a large-scale ruin that had never been discovered before, even though a lot of treasures inside were eaten by the mother of gem insects as nutrients, and even though the amount of treasures that Ai and others could carry with them was limited, they still made a lot of money. The bowl is full.
In addition to the shared travel expenses, everyone has a small treasury, which is private money.
At this moment, Fulilian raised her hands in tears.
"I have spent all my private money..."
"...How did you spend all that money?"
Ai was puzzled... They didn't seem to spend any special money on anything during the trip? So where did Florian's money go?
Could it be the potion that can dissolve clothes? No, that thing is a bit expensive, but it doesn’t mean that all the personal money Fulian earned from the ruins will be used up, right?
Unless Fulilian bought more than a dozen bottles at once...
"Lord Fulilian, where did you spend your money?"
Fearon's expression also became a little gloomier.
"The look in Philon's eyes... is so scary."
There was fear in Shutark's tone, and he took two steps back without Fearon noticing.
Should it be said that he is worthy of being the "family emperor"? Even Fulilian shuddered a few times when she was stared at by Fearon.
