After several days and nights of sailing, Ron and the others finally arrived at Lanling Island.
It was already early morning when they arrived at Lanling Island, and the boat that Ron and the others were on slowly docked.
"My lord, Lanling Island has arrived!" the murloc steward said respectfully.
"Are you here?" Nicole had a wicked smile on her face, "Very good, you can go!"
The murloc steward didn't move.
Shaar frowned, and she noticed that when Nicole spoke, there was an involuntary murderous look in the corner of her eyes.
"You go!"
Ron pondered for a moment and said.
"Thank you, Lord Ron..." Hearing Ron's words, the murloc steward heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. He gave a deep salute to thank Ron for not killing him.
With Ron's promise, the murloc steward left with confidence.
"Ron, why didn't you kill him?"
After the murloc steward left, Nicole was very dissatisfied, "What if he informs the Naga Sea Clan?"
"I believe he won't!" Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, and he slowly retracted his gaze, and glanced at Nicole, "Our mission is to protect you to that place safely, not to kill for you, besides..."
"You also have something to hide from us, such as your identity... and the purpose of the Sea Clan chasing and killing you!" Ron said lightly.
From getting along these days, Ron sensitively felt that the identity of this girl named Nicole was faintly suspicious. She seemed to come from a higher plane. Of course, this was just a suspicion, and Ron didn't say it out.
Ron's counter-question made Nicole speechless for a while, and she became squeamish, "I... Didn't I tell you? Those naga grabbed me to get something on me, as for my identity …”
Nicole gritted her teeth, "I can't tell you now..."
"Whatever you want!" Ron said expressionlessly, "I'm not interested in your identity or that thing, all I know is that it's enough to send you to your destination!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored Nicole and turned to leave. Xia Ya glanced at Nicole and followed quickly.
"Hey—you guys, wait for me..." Seeing that Ron and Shaar ignored her, Nicole became anxious and quickly chased after her.
…
The city Ron and the others came to was called Fernand. It was a small city by the seaside of Lanling Island in the Shenandoah mainland. Although the city was small, it was full of strong commercial atmosphere.
After passing through half of the city, I ate a simple breakfast in a small hotel in Fernand City. I looked up at the sky, and it was already noon.
Guided by others, the three of Ron and Xia came to a place called Commercial Street. Unlike other commercial streets, this place is a distribution center for small commodities. Businessmen from all over the Shenandoah continent spread a piece of red cloth on the ground, and the There are all kinds of small commodities at very cheap prices, ranging from food and clothes to weapons, equipment, and accessories.
The merchants yelled loudly, eagerly attracting customers from all over the world.
Compared with Dekley City, the commercial street of Fernand City is several grades worse. Although the things here are more than half cheaper than Dekley City, it does not arouse Ron and Shaar's interest in shopping, except for some necessities of life. Other than that, they hardly bought anything.
On the contrary, Nicole was very excited. She walked around and looked around, and bought a lot of things in a short while, such as food, use, play, decoration, weapons, equipment and so on. , Regardless of whether it is useful or not, buy it first and then talk about it, and then directly stuff it into his space ring. Ron is very worried that her space ring will be exploded by so many things.
Nicole was born sweet and pleasant, coupled with her generous spending, she was like a star, and was soon welcomed by those small merchants. Every merchant scrambled to introduce the best products to her. A wave swept across the entire commercial street like a whirlwind.
Nicole didn't have banknotes, so she traded directly with black crystal coins. In just half an hour, Nicole dropped more than one hundred black crystal coins.
Obviously, those merchants prefer the hard currency of the black crystal coin to Dassault, which is known as the currency of the Shenandoah Continent.
Nicole's boldness naturally attracted the attention of some people, especially those with unscrupulous intentions. They stared at the space ring in Nicole's hand, almost drooling.
However, when their eyes fell on the two sanctuary powerhouses behind Nicole, they quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea. Although they were just low-level people who made a living, they also knew who could mess with who and who couldn't provoke.
The identity of a person who can have the personal protection of a powerful person in the sanctuary is extremely difficult, at least not something people at their level can mess with.
"This little girl is too good at spending money!" Xia Ya looked at Nicole who was surrounded by small merchants like stars, and shook his head slightly.
Even if they are strong in the sanctuary, many people may not earn as much black crystal coins as Nicole spends in a lifetime. Remembering that he almost risked his life for one or two black crystal coins, Xiaya couldn't help showing a smile on his face. out wry smile.
She glanced at Ron, seeing him with his head down, thinking of something.
Char touched Ron with his elbow, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking… "
Ron paused and said, "The girl's identity... I'm afraid it's not that simple..."
Just as he was talking, Nicole came back bouncing, "Ron, Char, the things here are really cheap, you see... this glove made of Cosido dragon fur is only sold for one black crystal coin …Look at this… and this…”
Nicole showed Ron and Char the results of her shopping for more than half an hour like offering a treasure. Ron looked at it, and found that many of them were flashy things, and many of them were even worthless, but Nicole still thought it was cheap.
"By the way, there are gifts for you!" Nicole said with a smile, "You have protected me for so long, I should also express my gratitude..."
The one for Char was a black necklace, and the one for Ron was a belt made of the skin of an unknown animal.
Ron glanced at it casually, then put it into the space bag, Shaar looked at Ron, and also put away the black necklace.
"Buy it?" Ron asked blankly.
"Buy it!" Nicole replied.
"Let's go then!" Ron turned and walked ahead.
Nicole stuck out her tongue playfully, and followed quickly.
When he crossed the commercial street and was about to leave Fernand City, Nicole gently pulled Ron's clothes.
"What's the matter?" Ron looked at Nicole and frowned.
Nicole looked at Ron desperately, with a pleading look in her eyes, she reached out and pointed to the building next to her, signaling that she would go in there.
Ron followed Nicole's finger and saw that it was a gray-black building with a sign like a weight painted on the top of the roof. Clothes of an unknown race stood there.
"What's this place?" Ron frowned and asked.
"It's the auction house!"
Nicole said with a smile, "Ron... I heard that there will be a lot of good things in the auction house... Look... Should we go in and have a look?"
"Do you still want to buy something? Did you already buy a lot just now?" Xia Ya glanced at her in surprise, only then did she realize that the little girl in front of her was an out-and-out shopaholic.
Shaar can't imagine how much a person who can spend a hundred black crystal coins in that small commercial street will spend in a more advanced auction house.
"No, we still have to hurry..." Ron thought about it, and refused directly.
The Sea Clan may know of their existence, and if they stay here for a while, it will be dangerous for a while. It is serious to send this guy to the destination as soon as possible.
"Okay, Ron, okay..." Nicole acted coquettishly, she shook Ron's arm gently, "Once... just once... okay, I will never buy anything again!"
At Nicole's insistence, Ron finally agreed.
"Okay, just once, if you want to buy something, buy it quickly, and leave when you're done!" Ron replied after thinking for a while.
"Fine!" Nicole jumped three feet high in joy, and as soon as she pulled Ron and Char up, she rushed into the auction house.
"Hello!"
At this time, a man who looked like a guard next to the auction house stopped her with a smile. He stretched out a hand and said politely, "Please show your VIP card!"
"VIP card?" Nicole was stunned for a moment, "I don't have one, I just came to this city!"
"What? You don't have a VIP card?"
When the guard heard this, his complexion suddenly changed, and he grimaced, and said with a cold snort, "I'm sorry, everyone, this is a special passage for VIPs, and you can't enter without a VIP card..."
"The door for your ordinary guests is over there..." the guard pointed to another door and said.
"Hmph, dogs look down on people!"
Nicole was very dissatisfied, she gave the guard a blank look, and said a word coldly, but made the guard very angry, but she didn't dare to attack.
You know, the two sanctuary powerhouses next to him are staring at him coldly. Nicole has no time to care what he thinks, so she pulls Ron and Shaar up and walks towards the door.
The three of Ron entered the door, and each of them paid a thousand Dassault before they were able to enter the auction house.
The auction house is a huge hall. In the middle of the hall is a large luxurious stage. The surrounding seats are already crowded with people. Those who participated in the auction and watched the fun gathered together. They were making loud noises. , the smell of sweat and the stench in the narrow space are all intertwined, making people extremely uncomfortable.
Behind the auditorium, there is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are rooms inside. The windows are made of black crystal diamonds, which is extremely peculiar. When looking at the room from the window, you can't see anything, but from the room. Look out the window, but you can see clearly.
Ron guessed that this might be the VIP box of the auction house, that is, the place you entered from the VIP passage just now.
Of course, Ron and the others can only sit in the most ordinary auditorium below.
At this time, the auction house's magic loudspeaker rang.
"Be quiet, everyone be quiet, our auction is about to start..."
"It's started..." Nicole was as excited as a festival, she took Ron's arm, "I don't know what good things will be auctioned today?"
