After traveling through time, I want to become a magical omnipotent saint
Chapter 49 The First Pot of Gold
There were only a few figures wandering around in the black market after midnight, and Isabella could tell the strength of everyone at a glance.
For a long time, no intermediate magicians have come here to wander around, because they have a lot of money on them. If you can hear their conversations, you may be able to obtain some insignificant but not negligible information.
Isabella was thinking about her future plans while quietly waiting for her next client.
However, those who can afford to buy elite monster materials here must be wealthy. They are either businessmen or mercenaries. You can tell what they do by looking at the texture of their skin.
At two o'clock in the morning, Isabella could no longer bear it, so she stood up and stretched.
In the alley in front of me, under the dim kerosene lamp, an elegant woman walked over. She was wearing a red flower and butterfly mask that covered the left half of her face, and behind her followed a little maid who was about fourteen years old.
As soon as I saw this person, I felt that she was not an easy person to deal with. She was obviously at the level of a high-level magician, but she suppressed her strength to the level of a first-level intermediate.
The woman came less than two meters in front of Isabella, supported her knees with her hands, and half-bent in front of Isabella.
"How much is left? I want all of them to make a scabbard."
The woman dared to ask for all the goods in Isabella's hands...
"I still have 100 pairs of elite-level ox horns and 200 pairs of goat horns, worth silver coins. I can take them out, but I wonder if you can take them away? It would be inconvenient to show off my wealth here for such a big deal!"
Isabella responded simply, saying that she now hoped to sell the goods quickly. After making money, she planned to use Higindale's identity as the All-Seeing Eye to buy some magic tools, scrolls and materials to play with.
"Are you using space magic to store materials? How about this," the woman said in a low voice, "you come with me to a large warehouse in the north of the city and put all your materials in the warehouse. Afterwards, I will give you another 100 silver coins as a tip, but it is not convenient to exchange 10,000 silver coins. I will use 100 gold coins and exchange them for 10,000 silver coins. Do you have any objection?"
Isabella was so happy to hear that it was 100 silver coins and 100 gold coins, but she couldn't get excited now. The deal was so smooth, maybe there was something fishy going on. The woman in front of her was a big fishy one. Maybe she was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? She might even go to the other party's territory to trade! Wouldn't she be robbed by the thieves?
"Excuse me, since you are so generous, did you buy so many materials just to make the scabbard?"
The woman in front of him stood up straight, her brows relaxed, and she smiled faintly: "Of course, I heard that your materials are good, and I don't want them to fall into the hands of others. What? Is there anything worth hesitating about?"
"Okay, I'll go with you," Isabella agreed immediately, "but you have to pay half of the deposit first, at least to show me your sincerity."
The woman in front of him didn't hesitate and took out a purse with a hundred gold coins in it.
"We are sincere enough. I know what the little sister is thinking. I will trust you once, but let me be frank. Business requires integrity. If you break your promise, you will not be able to leave the city tonight."
Fifteen minutes later, after passing through countless alleys, we arrived at a grain warehouse in the north of the city.
The warehouse is surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, and there is a watchtower every hundred meters. Each watchtower is manned by two city guards.
The woman knew the commander of the city guards and chatted with them about the work at the Earl of Jialai's Palace. The commander then let the three of them in.
When she reached the warehouse door in the corner, Isabella had already sensed a strange premonition.
"This is it. You pile all the materials in. We'll wait outside. When the job is done, I need to see the materials clearly arranged on the shelves."
The warehouse has open double doors and the kerosene lamps inside are bright. The interior of the warehouse is about 400 square meters and has three layers of shelves, all of which are filled with empty boxes.
Isabella cursed inwardly: Damn it, no wonder he gave me a tip, no wonder I had a bad feeling, he was just treating me like a porter! This was going to be too much work.
But there is no better way, so I have to do it.
Isabella was busy for an hour before she finished the moving work.
The woman finally paid a hundred silver coins.
"This young lady is very capable. She uses space magic which is rare in the world. You may also know that the world's number one magic swordsman, Puka Ronnie, also has space magic. His space magic is good at playing chess. Space magic like the one used for storage is of great strategic significance to everyone."
Isabella certainly knew the significance of space magic, as well as healing magic, but she could only think of Ling Yi. It was precisely because she possessed two special magics at the same time, rather than elemental magic, that she was regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Magicians.
What Isabella couldn't understand was that she had devoted herself to the Almighty Eye of the Oberic Empire, but had never been valued. It was really strange. She guessed that she just liked to go out and fight.
"The transaction is over, but what do you mean by that?"
Isabella wasn't sure if she was trying to win her over.
Isabella stood at the door of the warehouse, keeping a distance of five meters from the woman. It was very quiet at night, and she could still hear clearly even though her voice was low.
"Of course, I will arrange a good job for you. Your job is to help us transport some materials to various places in the empire. As for the salary, it's easy to say. Five hundred silver coins per mission. Would you consider it?"
Isabella refused of course. She had to play the role of a good girl at home every day, so how could she possibly participate in the work? Moreover, the content of the job was not clearly explained, and it was obvious at a glance that they were scammers. The salary was so high, so it must be something fishy. Maybe she had to find a reason that would make them feel comfortable to refuse, and then they would let her go.
If you need to leave due to an emergency, you can directly open the space gap, but if you do this, it will be difficult to survive in the city with a fake identity. It is safest to keep the trump card.
After thinking for a moment, Isabella replied: "I'm sorry, I'm used to being free and idle, and I don't like to get involved in human affairs. This money is enough for me to live for a while, so I'm sorry." After that, Isabella shook her head and refused.
Isabella continued, "I will tell you when I have other new materials... Can I ask you out of curiosity, what your identities are... If you don't make it clear, it may be inconvenient to find you in the future."
"You should introduce yourself first. I am very satisfied with this deal and don't want to end it unpleasantly."
"You can call me Higgindale... a wanderer."
"Flower of Sin, codename: Bianhua. You can find me in a flower shop in North City that has so little business that no one cares about it. In that case, I'm sorry I won't see you off."
After saying that, Isabella watched the two of them walk away completely. She ordered the city guards to take over the warehouse behind Isabella.
After walking through several streets and making sure that no one was following her, Isabella opened the space gap and returned to her room.
Two full bags of money, this is the first pot of gold since coming to this world, I am really rich!
Anyway, the money earned is from the Flower of Sin Organization. As for what they do with the materials, I don't care.
It was the first time I saw so many gold coins. I was so excited that I didn’t feel sleepy at all. But I didn’t dare to get excited or make any noise. If I woke up Charlie, he would definitely scold me.
The next afternoon, after lunch...
Isabella said a few sweet words praising Heroda, saying that she would take her to Leonton City after lunch and then go for a routine inspection. Before dinner, she would pick her up at the south gate of the city and would definitely not run around.
Heloda understood the child's thoughts. Isabella had indeed been at home for almost a week. The strange thing was that the child did not have any psychological trauma from being kidnapped.
"You can't go alone," Heloda insisted on her bottom line, "You absolutely cannot go out alone, at least let Charlie take you."
This time I went into the city to buy some weapons from the magic weapon shop. Since I was going to be monitored... I could just follow the same routine I used the first time I went to the black market and try to escape.
Isabella pouted, thought about it, and agreed.
Charlie had no objection. He just felt that Miss Isabella had grown a lot. In the past, she would leave this family whenever she wanted without considering the feelings of her family.
