Ever since leaving the Withered Wood Council, he promised Antitina and Qian to stroll around this peculiar town. This noble girl seed particularly spirited today, Brand rarely saw her looking so cheerful.
The three of them arrived at a market in the town district called 'Centaur's Hoof,' which is suspended in mid-air, entirely of wooden construction, divided into three levels.
There are vine suspension bridges at the four corners of the market connecting it, although the market itself is floated by magic.
There are quite a few Tree Elves here, but the main residents are Centaurs. The market sells all sorts of goods—grains, fabrics, so strange plants, fruits, and magic materials, peculiar minerals, as well as so magic items.
With the Black Forest rich in resources, the goods seen in the market are also all sorts of strange things, but the trading thod here still remains at the bartering stage, not limited to gold and silver.
Because gold and silver here rely exist as a form of magic material.
Brand, Antitina, Funiya, and Qian first watched a free gladiator match on the third level of the market—Centaur's bad-tempered and often fight among themselves, but here there are special grounds for them to vent—in fact, occasionally Tree Elves also et up for an archery tournant, but obvious today they weren't in luck for that.
Afterward, they found a bar opened by a Tree Elf to taste a local specialty, a type of flower dew here. This thing tastes like fruit wine but actually has a strong aftereffect. Brand quickly realized he made a mistake—as Antitina and Qianke are no players, they only had a small sip—and their faces flushed red.
Brand hurriedly stopped these two young ladies, preventing them from drinking too much and collapsing in the bar, which would have been quite the scene.
But Antitina apparently hadn't had enough fun, this noble daughter heard from the bar owner about a specialty from the Green Tower—a Tree Gem, jewelry made from that gemstone looks like erald but is more sparkling and transparent.
What's comndable is that it's not expensive.
The noble girl was imdiately captivated, using the courage from the drink she rarely acted shyly, pestering Brand to take them to have a look.
Brand looked at Antitina's blush and her playful pout, couldn't help but shake his head, he hadn't imagined this usually calm and rational noble daughter to have such poor drinking manners, but seeing Qian's similarly flushed face it seed she too was sowhat tempted by Antitina's proposal, Brand realized he couldn't refuse.
But he ca to a conclusion; won seem to have an innate inability to resist shiny things, a habit quite similar to the Dragon Clan's.
Fortunately, Brand had the foresight to take so Magic Crystals from the Five-headed Lizard's nest, these things are hard currency here, when it cos to Tree Gem jewelry, a piece of Secondary Moon Crystal can trade a whole bunch of them.
Therefore, when Brand placed a small piece of Fla Pattern Agate in front of the Centaur shop owner, this Centaur rchant who had been in business for many years knew he had t a major custor.
But selling solely Tree Gems wouldn't make much money, this Centaur rchant, while promoting his handcrafted jewelry, also subtly inquired whether the young Lord needed any mysterious magic items.
Brand found it amusing, he certainly knew about this kind of magic shop, these places could buy many affordable magic materials but speaking of good items among the finished products was not often seen, deceiving new players who visited such places for the first ti was fine, but as an experienced hand, he was sowhat disdainful.
"Brand, let him take it out and have a look." Antitina, flushed, squinting her eyes, whispered: "Take, take a look if there's any better than what the Lord made?"
Brand suddenly felt this appearance of the noble lady was also quite cute, he nodded: "You take it out and let us see."
The white Centaur imdiately showed joy, if he could sell one or two pieces of magic jewelry, he wouldn't have to do any business for the rest of the month.
He imdiately took out a pair of rings mysteriously and said to Brand: "Sir, these are magic rings I bought from a witch's hand. It's said that they possess the magic of love; once your two female companions wear them, they will forever be in love with you and never change their hearts."
"Wh-what kind of nonsense!" Antitina covered Funiya's ears, said angrily to this Centaur shop owner: "Quickly take them back, the Lord would never ever buy such despicable things!"
Brand also laughed and shook his head, just a couple of rings enchanted with a Charming Technique, they were already claid to possess the magic of love, then the Wind Queen's Ring in his hand could be said to be a Divine Artifact guarded by the Wind God?
But he suddenly rembered that the Wind Queen's Ring in his hand seed to be genuine, indeed a Divine Artifact protected by the Wind God—although just an incomplete part.
He coughed once, shook his head, and said: "If you only have such things, I think we'd better just buy a few Tree Gem jewelry."
"Ah, no wait," the Centaur shop owner imdiately held them back: "Actually, I have another good thing here that the Lord will surely like."
Brand was taken aback: "You know we are outsiders?"
The Centaur shop owner smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, no need to fear, the Lord laughing at , I've been in business here for decades, I know most of the people in the Green Tower."
"So that's how it is," Brand replied: "It must be difficult to do such business."
The Centaur shop owner's face turned quite embarrassed, realizing his little trick had been seen through, he could only awkwardly smile: "Rest assured, the Lord, this ti it's definitely not that kind of stuff."
"Oh?"
"This thing I really acquired from a witch's hand, she, like you, also ca from outside here." Then this Centaur took out a box.
After opening the box, inside lay a shield-shaped stone.
Brand's heart jumped as he saw this thing: Stone Key!
