pet market
On both sides of the road, there are densely packed pet cages, rows of uneven, different sizes, and different colors. Most are light or white.
Some luxuriously and elegantly dressed ladies and aristocratic girls held white parasols and slowly watched and selected various pets.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of this street, and new guests came down one by one from above.
On one of the black carriages, a bald man came down slowly. He had no hair, no beard, and no eyebrows. His face was like a pewter figure that had just been carved, with no hair at all. It caused the passers-by around to cast a strange look.
The man handed the fare to the driver, and tidied up his white casual clothes.
"Sir, do you need a scarf? Just five copper wheel cloths." A child selling sunshade scarves leaned over and asked.
The man bought a scarf and wrapped it around his head.
Start from the left and walk slowly along the pet walking street.
A man in gray was holding a gray owl in his hand, and he was trying to sell to two noble ladies in a loud voice with an unfamiliar accent. The owl in the hand turned its head from time to time, and seemed to be in good spirits.
A fat man wearing a white jewel hat in front patted the big iron cage beside him, and loudly introduced the clouded leopard walking around inside. This lynx was restless because of the heat.
Further on, a circle of ladies and girls surrounded a small pet shop selling rabbits and squirrels, and there were bursts of light laughter from time to time.
Garen walked forward slowly, scanning various pet cages. I was also thinking about it in my heart.
"Silverized totems can't be put into storage tools, they can only be kept outside, and need to be eaten and excreted. So can this kind of thing silverize human beings?" He suddenly had such a thought.
With a calm expression on his face, Garen continued to look forward one by one.
Eagles, cheetahs, wild cats, hounds, pythons, spiders, etc., all kinds of pets can be found here.
Suddenly his footsteps stopped. Standing in front of a huge aquarium.
In the blue water tank, a huge white shark slowly swims.
"Guest, do you want to buy this great white shark? You can also get a free gift when you buy it now. A great white shark will be given a breeding water tank for free." A thin man with a fishy smell introduced enthusiastically.
"I also have a variety of other aquatic animals in my store, including a lot of amphibians. You can look at them as you like. Crocodiles, wolf fish, ornamental goldfish, black-headed shrimps, cylinder snails, jellyfish, as long as you want, we can Get it for you!"
"Oh?" Garen was noncommittal, "I want to see the crocodile."
"Please come inside." The thin man enthusiastically led Garen into the dark and damp shop. He has set up a shop here for so long, originally thinking that those young ladies and young masters would like some more exotic water-sounding pets, but he didn't expect that the business is still bleak until now. Now it's hard to meet someone who is interested in buying, so naturally it's impossible to let it go.
Garen entered the shop. I saw a deep pit on the left side inside, and there were two alligators lying lazily inside. One crocodile opened its mouth wide, and a few white birds jumped between its sharp teeth.
"In the main body, the crocodile's armor is very defensive. If the silver turns into a silverized totem, I don't know how much the light of the totem can be enhanced." Gallon wanted to buy the crocodile just for this powerful armor, even if he left it at home for leisure. So, the totem light obtained is probably not comparable to that of ordinary creatures.
"I want a crocodile, how much?"
"Only 30,000, 30,000 silver wheel cloth, hehe." The thin man was overjoyed, he didn't expect to be able to secure a deal for a pet just after he came in.
"Okay, I'll send it to this address later." Gallon took out a pen and was about to write the address of the hotel when he suddenly paused, "Wait, I'll make a reservation later. This is the deposit."
Garen took out a thousand silver rounds of cloth to the thin man, left his name, and made an appointment to come back later.
After leaving the aquatic pet shop, Garen continued to walk forward, looking slowly.
Soon, he ordered three desert monitor lizards from another pet shop. All three were large lizards with dark blue backs, more than one meter long. The skin gives the feel of a rough cloth.
Garen pressed the giant lizard's skin hard.
The three desert monitor lizards only cost Garen 10,000 silver cloth. But this kind of creature is said to be related to the legendary Dragon Chariot. Gallon is quite interested in trying to see if he can evolve it into a similar creature totem.
Of course, everything must be based on the priority of satisfying the core totem.
This blue-backed monitor lizard is good at burrowing, agile, and has poisonous venom glands that can cause paralysis. Very bad for pets. If you are not careful, you will be drilled and escaped by it, so the shop owner can't afford it at all, and the price has dropped again and again. Unexpectedly, a customer, Garen, came and liked this creature so much. He was overjoyed and sold all three monitor lizards to Garen.
Then Garen bought three gray feather eagles. This small eagle is very ferocious, especially the female, and can often fight leopards in the northern highlands. It is also a very basic creature.
One alligator, three gray-feathered eagles, and three desert monitor lizards. There are seven in total, plus the already existing howling wolf rabbits, there are eight. Garen also intends to leave two vacancies for better alternatives.
These creatures cost him 70,000 silver wheel cloth in total.
He has given up customizing totems now. Customizing totems is indeed more suitable for totem masters than standard totems. The higher the degree of fit, the easier it is to evolve. But he has supernatural powers, so there is no need to use expensive means of customizing totems.
After paying the deposit, Garen walked against the flow of people towards the entrance of the street.
Looking at the leisurely noble young masters and ladies passing by, they have no idea that the chaos is coming.
Most of these people don't know the existence of Silver Lantern Masters. They live in a woven world of camouflage, and naively think that cavalry, archers, patrolling guards, swordsmen, and musketeers are the whole of war. But what they don't know is that what really decides all of this is actually the struggle between totem masters and silver lamp masters.
Totems cannot intervene in wars between mortals, this is a rule. But anyone with a little bit of knowledge actually knows the importance of a totem master. War and peace are in the hands of these few.
"General Wei Lan led nearly 100,000 people from Ennett's Third Army to set off this time. I don't know how long it will take to assess the war. My husband is there as a logistics officer." A lady held a little white rabbit on her back, with a worried expression on her face. talking. "I don't know if he can take care of himself outside alone."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law is fine, he's such a big man. Sister, do you think my squirrel is cute?" A red-haired girl next to her happily rubbed the little squirrel in her palm.
Garen passed by the two of them and heard a few words from them.
In the eyes of ordinary people, General Wei Lan set out with 100,000 soldiers, and the three army commanders under him were brave and good at fighting.
But it is not these 100,000 people who really decide the war, but thousands of other totem masters. It's just that they have been away for so long, so I don't know the specific result.
The war of totem masters is different from the war between mortals, and the battlefields are all selected separately. Once a totem division loses, its commander will automatically declare surrender.
Totem masters generally don't slaughter mortals, but there are many battles where the less wins the more, and the weak wins the strong. This is also the reason for many battles that were too disparate in strength but were defeated because of the defeat of the Totem Division.
Gathering his thoughts, Garen hailed a carriage and drove towards the outer city.
He needed to find a house that was all his own. Otherwise, it simply cannot accommodate so many silverized totems.
Back at the hotel, Garen packed his things and went directly to the nearby house rental and sales center.
In the center of the house, I chose a large courtyard located in the outer city, which has a pool, rockery and grass, and the area is very large. It is very dilapidated, the rent is calculated on a two-year basis, and 20,000 silver cloth is paid at a time.
This is a very cheap price.
Garen didn't have a lot of money with him now, so after buying the pets, there was less than 300,000 silver wheel cloth left. Under the leadership of the rental staff, I went to have a look at the yard. He simply paid the two-year rent in one lump sum.
Then Garen went to Pet Street and handed over the new address to the pet shop owners.
He didn't plan to go to other pet markets. In fact, these were the animals he could find, and the rest were lions, tigers, bears and other ferocious beasts. He doesn't care much about these common creatures. When it comes to defense, lions and tigers are not as good as crocodiles. The most important thing is that only one large carnivore is enough. Once more are evolved, the daily amount of meat is not a simple amount.
Once the war comes, it is impossible to have so much meat supply.
***************
Outside the city wall of Tietan, on the sparsely populated side, there are some courtyards standing sparsely.
One of the courtyards was surrounded by gray fences. On the green grass inside stood a mountain-shaped two-storey building. The small building had a white background and black edges.
A gust of wind blew, and the yellow leaves scattered on the grass kept rolling.
Garen got out of the carriage and stood in front of the fence in the courtyard.
He looked back and saw a similar courtyard on the opposite side. There were some flower bushes and fruit trees planted in the yard there, and a young woman was watering the flowers with a water drain.
The young woman also saw Garen on the opposite side, and gave him a friendly smile.
Garen smiled back.
He took out the key, unlocked the padlock on the fence, and Garen walked into the yard he had just built.
woof!
There was the sound of a dog barking in the yard opposite.
"Tell! Damn it, don't pee there! Do you hear me!" The woman on the other side yelled and cursed. "Tell! Tell!!" She dropped the drain and chased a golden retriever to the back of the house.
Garen glanced over there, took out the key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole of the main entrance of the small building, and twisted it.
click.
The door creaked and was pulled open, and a musty smell rushed towards him.
