After traveling through time, I want to become a magical omnipotent saint
Chapter 13 Leonton Black Market
Two little girls sat opposite each other at the bar in the cafe.
There were only a few idle people sitting in the quiet cafe. Obviously, they were powerful magicians with great background.
At the bar, the three of them were silent for a long time.
Isabella didn't say anything because she was trying hard to recall the man in front of her. The original owner knew very little about him. Although he looked fierce, he was gentle and calm when treating the little girl.
He took a closer look at the red-haired man at the bar. He was wearing a red uniform, a white shirt underneath, a collar that almost reached his chin, and a black tie with gold patterns that sparkled under the kerosene lamp in the cafe.
Like a faint light hidden in the darkness.
Finally, the uncle broke the silence of the three people looking at each other.
"Are the children of the Bailina family so big now? Last year, Kokoro was still very small!"
As he spoke, he shook the covered lemon cup in his hand. After shaking it for a few minutes, he mixed a large glass of lemonade...
Kokoro was so fascinated by what he saw that he had forgotten that Charlie had already left the cafe.
"Isabella, what kind of juice do you want? Uncle Dong Nikang can make any kind of juice. It's just that children can't drink alcohol yet, otherwise it would be nice to give you some fruit wine... It doesn't cost much, only twelve copper coins."
"A glass of apple juice, thank you... Twelve copper coins..." Isabella frowned slightly and muttered the last sentence.
"Why? You don't seem to know the purchasing value of money? Heroda and Charlie didn't seem to tell you much about it?"
Isabella was shocked. She had no idea about currency and purchasing power when she came to this world. If she went out to buy something, she might get ripped off without knowing it.
Isabella pretended to be well-behaved, shook her head, and said, "What can you buy with twelve copper coins?"
"I need to popularize the value of copper coins. Take the monthly salary of a junior magic warrior as an example. Their monthly income is 2,300 copper coins. Twelve copper coins can buy six kilograms of pork, and one hundred copper coins is equivalent to one silver coin."
Isabella's eyes darkened, and her tone was somewhat reproachful: "Isn't it too expensive for you to charge twelve copper coins?"
"Expensive? How can it be expensive? It's only February, and fresh fruit is more expensive than meat. And with my cooking skills, one cup should cost eight copper coins..."
Isabella listened to what Donicon said and found that it made some sense. However, it was more cost-effective to drink beverages other than juice. However, as a lady from an aristocratic family, she should not think too much about money...
I was a worker in my previous life, and I become very sensitive when it comes to money, like a conditioned reflex.
"Oh!" Isabella replied, "So Uncle Donicon really can't make any money from us..."
Isabella felt the purse in her pocket and realized that she had brought twenty silver coins, which was equivalent to two thousand copper coins.
The Leonton black market, most of the things sold here are of unknown origin. Some people can buy good things at low prices from the black market. After all, it is not through formal channels, and the things in the hands of merchants are easy to come by. Even if they are lower than the market price, they can still make a lot of money. As for the quality of the things, it can only be said that it is the buyer's luck.
There are three horizontal and five vertical alleys in the black market, and the flow of people is sparse. They are all junior magicians, and there are few intermediate magicians who come in person.
The appearance of Charlie was actually a surprise to the black market merchants.
Many vendors followed Charlie to discuss transactions and trade.
"Long time no see. Charlie comes here rarely. Would you like to buy weapons or magic tools?"
Another vendor asked, "I recently received a batch of primary purification crystals. The price is cheap. Buy one get one free, which is equivalent to two pieces for thirty copper coins!"
Charlie stopped and used water element magic to count his pockets. He took out a handful of copper coins, which was exactly sixty copper coins. He said to the magic tool vendor, "Give me two pieces!"
The magic tool vendor was quite tactful. He opened the cloth cover of the basket and took out four primary purification crystals...
Charlie took it and looked at it carefully one by one.
"Buy one get one free, and the free one can only be used once... It's really true that cheap things don't get good stuff. Sixty copper coins to buy a new one is not much different from the four you have."
Charlie's face was very ugly, and he said again: "Don't follow me, or I will beat you up!"
Only by threatening them would these shameless black market traders back down and no one would continue to bother them.
After walking for a long time, he came to a grocery store selling monster materials. He paid directly for a half-meter-long dragon claw for only two hundred silver coins. He wrapped it in cloth and hung it around his waist.
In the cafe, Dongnikon told Kokoro the story of Heloda's youth, a story of flattery, and the two quickly became close.
Isabella was a little impatient and wanted to go to the black market, but she was worried that if a child went to that kind of place, they would most likely be driven out or kidnapped...
Isabella had long realized that what she lacked most now was a magic tool, or a weapon. Next time she encountered a strange monster, she would have to use her hands to release it, which would be unworthy of her status as a genius.
Isabella used the excuse of going to the bathroom, locked the door, opened a gap in space, and appeared on the streets of Leonton City.
I borrowed a piece of red cloth hanging on the wall, put it on like a Taoist robe, and covered my hair with a hood...
Isabella felt that there was no need to go to the black market, and going to a magic weapon shop would be fine.
Ten minutes later, to Isabella's surprise, she found out that to buy weapons she needed to show her magic sorcerer level qualifications, and at the very least she needed to show her student ID. What kind of magic weapon she could buy depended on what kind of ID she had.
Given Isabella's current situation, if she wants to buy it through a formal channel, unless someone buys it for her...
Isabella left the magic weapon shop depressed and worried. Damn it, she had to go to the black market again. She didn't expect that the rules and regulations of this world were very complete. Without a "qualification certificate", she couldn't get a decent magic weapon.
Arriving at the entrance of the black market alone, countless pairs of cold eyes looked at Isabella carefully. In everyone's eyes, people who came to the black market wore cold and dark clothes. It was no wonder that her red Taoist robe attracted everyone's attention.
However, no vendor attempted to ask her the purpose of her visit. Those who were bargaining became silent and alert when they saw the thin red figure approaching. They were all on the street and did not easily judge people by their appearance.
Isabella's eyes were full of novelty. She walked past more than a dozen shops before she saw a magic weapon shop. Through the glass window, she saw the weapons hanging inside.
But there were three sturdy men squatting at the door of the store, cigarettes in their mouths, and they showed no intention of giving way.
"Excuse me... Can you lend me this, brothers?"
Isabella's tone was flat, she didn't look at them directly, she just asked this question weakly.
The three strong men looked at each other and ignored Isabella.
"You are really sick!" Isabella said sharply, "If you don't give way, I will smash your teeth soon!"
The three strong men stood up one after another. The three who were originally sitting on the steps looked even taller when they stood up.
"The little girl is very brave!"
One of the bald men spoke first, his rough voice attracted the attention of people around him.
"Hahaha!" another person said in a sarcastic voice, "You want to break our teeth? Since you are still young, we are too lazy to bother with you! Which street are you from, little brat? If you don't go back, your parents will spank you!"
Isabella raised her right hand and stretched her arm toward the open space.
The three strong men were pushed to the ground by an invisible force. After falling to the ground, the three men continued to roll on the ground.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded.
Isabella released a space gap in front of the door, passed through the space gap and entered the magic weapon shop.
There was only the old store manager inside. He had gray hair and wore a pair of reading glasses. Judging from his face, he was also a ruthless character when he was young. The dark aura around him made him look as if he had taken many lives.
"What a rare visitor! This is the first time I've seen someone use space magic to enter my shop in the twenty years since I opened it. The three guys at the door are my shop's bodyguards. Since the girl is here to trade sincerely, there's no need for me to stop her."
The old man put down the book in his hand and glanced at Isabella.
Isabella looked around at the walls, which were covered with a wide variety of magic swords, most of which cost thirty silver coins. The magic swords in the display cabinets were finely crafted, and some even sold for more than three hundred silver coins each.
Suddenly I felt that the twenty silver coins I brought with me were not enough.
