I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Although the journey was a failure for the fairy of paradise, the end of the pilgrimage was only despair and pain colder than winter.

However, meeting her companions is the only happiness worth cherishing for her.

Fairies are selfish and not worth saving...but Habertlot, the Black Knight, and the Rain Clan who adopted her are different.

The life experiences of Savior Ash and Altria Caster are completely opposite.

The savior Ash experienced four wars: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Altriacaster has four memories of winter, autumn, summer and spring.

The Savior Ash had a happy and fulfilling childhood. The Rain Clan who adopted her did not treat her as an outsider and loved her like their own child.

Altria Caster had a painful childhood, as the village that adopted her hated her and was just waiting for her to show her worth so they could sell her for a good price.

The savior Jian was betrayed by fairies in the second half of his life. Disillusioned with them, he decided to deprive all fairies of their freedom and put them under his absolute control.

After despair, Altriacaste met Chaldea. Although she was still some distance away from true happiness, she did have a partner she could trust.

What Jian longed for was a trip like this one, without the responsibilities imposed by the park, just to be with his companions, enjoying the scenery along the way, worrying and laughing about the trivial things encountered during the trip.

"Since I'll be staying in this city for about three days, I'll go figure out where to stay for the night."

With a smile in his blue eyes, Jian glanced at the three people and asked, "Is anyone willing to join me?"

It was Fulilian who spoke first.

"There's a place I want to visit. I was a little interested when I passed by there before, but I need Hugh Turk to come with me."

Philen frowned when he heard this.

"Then I want to go too. It would be bad if Lady Fulilian takes Lady Shuttark to some bad place and leads him astray."

Xutark was embarrassed. "I'm not a child. How can I be led astray so easily..."

Fulilian looked lost, "What kind of image do I have in Philen's mind..."

Because Freelian and Shuttark couldn't persuade Philen, they finally decided that Jian would go to find a hotel alone, while Shuttark and Philen would follow Freelian to visit the places Freelian cared about.

"Okay, remember to go early and come back early."

Ash shrugged helplessly, then said to Philen, "Remember to keep an eye on them, Philen. Don't let them wander off to any suspicious places."

After Jian said this, Xutalk and Fulilian felt even more disappointed.

Hugh Tark & ​​Flillian: "Why does even Ash say that..."

And...if they were like easily influenced children in Philen's mouth, then in Jian's mouth they became puppies running around everywhere.

After a brief and dejected farewell to Ash, Fulilian brought Shutalk and Philen to the city's streets.

If I were to describe this place in one word, it would be chaos.

In order to gain an advantage, vendors from various countries even try to occupy the small path in the middle, making the space in the middle very narrow.

Moreover, the locations of the vendors are very irregular and there is no one to manage them. Most of them just spread a piece of cloth, put up a roof and start selling their goods.

It's not really dirty. After all, cleaning and eliminating germs in this world where magic is prevalent is much easier than in the ordinary world, but chaos and noise are unavoidable.

Philen frowned when he first arrived here.

"Lady Fulilian, what are we doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to buy something."

Frielian replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

However, Fulilian's words made Philen frown even deeper.

"If you want to buy something, can't you go to those regular stores? Why do you have to come to this mixed bag of places? No matter how you look at it, I don't think there's anything good here."

"Hehehe! You don't understand this, do you? Philen."

Fulilian snorted proudly. "It's precisely because of the mixed crowd here that merchants from all over the continent flock here. According to probability theory, there's a high chance of finding good stuff here. Some unsophisticated merchants stumble upon a valuable treasure but fail to discern its true value. They then run here and sell it at a super low price, allowing us to take advantage... This kind of development is quite common."

Philen felt that what Fulilian said was strangely familiar, as if he had heard something similar somewhere before...

"Lady Fulilian, where did you see all this?"

"From the storybook written by Ash."

"..."

Philen didn't know what expression to show.

"Lady Fulilian, those things are all imagined by Ash, right? They are false and unbelievable."

"No, you're wrong, Phelan."

Fulilian paused, stopped observing the surrounding goods and turned to look at Philen.

"The world of magic is a world of imagination. For us magicians, as long as we are willing to believe, even turning the world upside down is not impossible."

"That's what Ash is like. Her imagination surpasses all of ours, which is why her magical attainments are so powerful. She can even perform the magic that appears in stories in reality."

"So, Philen, we should also believe in ourselves and believe that we can do the same thing."

Because Fulilian's tone contained a strong confidence, even Philen was shaken for a moment, but she quickly reacted.

"But, Lady Flillian, what we are about to do has nothing to do with magic, right? You are just trying to gamble your luck."

Seeing that Philen was not fooled by her, Fulilian continued.

"Do you think I only rely on luck? I'm a magician who has lived for a thousand years. How could I possibly rely on something as illusory as luck?"

461

Chapter 461: Fulilian’s private money.

"Don't try your luck?"

Philen was gradually infected by Fulilian's confidence and began to trust Fulilian unconsciously.

"Yes, Lady Fulilian is a magician who has lived for a thousand years. If she is so confident, she must have her own way."

"Could it be that, Lady Flillian, you possess the magic to determine the value of objects?"

"No, how could I possibly have such convenient magic?"

Fulilian poured a basin of cold water on him, which also calmed Philen down.

"...That's true. After all, Lady Fulilian always spent a lot of money on useless items when she was shopping at the prop shop."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about! The things I'm interested in are all very valuable and useful, okay?"

"Then could you please tell me, Lady Fulilian, what is the use of the book you bought last time that says 'all the words written on it will disappear after one minute'?"

"...Well, at least most of it is still valuable."

After coughing twice to cover up her inner embarrassment, Fulilian said seriously, "I'm talking about eyesight. As a magician who has lived for thousands of years, my eyesight and experience are my greatest strengths. If there really is any precious treasure in this place, I will definitely be able to spot it at a glance!"

Philen's eyes turned dim.

At this moment, she was constantly thinking in her mind what kind of expression she should show.

Unlike Philen, whose eyes were almost dead, Fulilian became more and more excited as she spoke.

"That's right! Just like the story Jian told me, the protagonist possesses golden eyes that can see through the value of all things, and then while appreciating antiques, a series of face-slapping Long Aotian plots unfold!"

By the way, the two terms "slap in the face" and "Long Aotian" were learned by Fulilian from Jian.

"Besides! I learned some amazing bargaining skills from Ash's story, and this is a great opportunity to put them into practice! To sum it up... I think I'm incredibly powerful now!"

After saying that, Fulilian grabbed Hugh Tark's hand, locked eyes with a vendor and walked over.

"Let's go! Hugh Tark, I need you to hold the fort for me."

"So I'm here to help you bargain?"

After a hearty and enthusiastic bargaining, Fulilian bought a pot from a vendor.

According to Fulilian, this pot was an antique from the Unified Empire period. When Fulilian arrived at the hotel that Jian found, she proudly showed Jian the antique pot she bought and talked about how much of a bargain she had gotten.

Jian took the pot that Fulilian bought in his hand and examined it carefully, then made an evaluation with an expressionless face.

“This is a fake.”

Then Fulilian burst into tears.

It can be roughly divided into three steps: pacing, rolling, and crying.

Philen touched Frillian's head, but what she said was not heartwarming comfort, but cold words that pierced her heart, "Lady Frillian bought another piece of junk."

Well, Fulilian cried even louder and more sadly.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Flillian."

Jian pinched the bridge of his nose as if with a headache and said to Fulilian, "You're the only one here who's lived from the Unified Empire until now, right? How can you not tell that this isn't from that period?"

A long, long time ago, there was only one country on this continent, the so-called unified empire.

Fulilian's master, Volame, was the court magician of the Unified Empire. In other words, the Unified Empire existed thousands of years ago, and it was not until a few hundred years ago that it split into the current countries.

At the same time, because of the existence of Volame, the Unified Empire was also the first country to study magic and the first country to use magic in military affairs. Fulilian also said that at its peak, the streets were full of magicians.

Although the unified empire has been divided and no longer exists, the empire's culture has not completely disappeared. In the north, the empire still remains and is still the most powerful country.

At the beginning, the demons occupied many lands and destroyed many small countries. Humanity was forced to shrink its defenses, so that during that period the empire was in the demon territory. However, the empire was able to repel the demons again and again under such circumstances and defend its territory, which was enough to show the strength of the empire.

By the way, the relationship between the Empire and the Continental Magic Association is a bit bad, because the Empire always insists that they are the origin of human magic civilization and are orthodox, because Volame, who created the human magic system, came from their country, so the management of magicians on the continent should belong to the Empire rather than the Continental Magic Association.

However, the empire could not ignore Celia who was in charge of the Continental Magic Association. As long as Celia was there, the empire would not dare to do anything.

Celia should be a figure from the mythological period. She has mentioned more than once "since humans created the so-called civilization", as if she had witnessed the origin of human civilization with her own eyes. If there really is a goddess of creation in this world, then Celia is the most likely person to have seen the goddess.

Living from the mythological period to the present, it is hard to imagine how many kinds of magic Celie possesses and how powerful her magic is.

Frelian lived during the period of the Unified Empire. When she was very young, her village was attacked by demons. All the elves except Frelian were killed. Only Frelian killed the enemy and saved her life by showing weakness to make the enemy relax their vigilance. She was then picked up by Volame and accepted as a disciple.

"The forgery wasn't very sophisticated... I really don't understand how you were able to fall for it."

Jian looked at the pot in his hand for a few more seconds, then asked Fulilian, "So, how much money did you waste on this piece of junk?"

"Ten silver coins..."

"How much?! Ten silver coins?!!"

Jian looked at Fulilian in disbelief. "Believe it or not, I spent ten copper coins on this thing, and the owner would happily sell me two and give me one as a gift?"

"Master Jian, if you continue to speak like this, I feel like Lady Fulilian will be too ashamed to live on."

Jian glared at Fulilian and said in an inexplicable tone, "If I could do it, I'd really like to recommend an anti-fraud app to you... especially one specifically for the elderly."

With a sigh, Jian's tone was full of helplessness.

"Now, let's go find the vendor who sold Fulilian the pot. If he's still there, we can return the product to him. I think he's probably already absconded with the money... If we can't find him, then let's just consider it a lesson learned."

"Anyway, we made a lot of money exploring the underground ruins last time. Even if we suffer a small loss, it won't be a big deal. Learning a lesson with money is a privilege exclusive to rich people like us!"

What Jian was talking about was naturally the experience of encountering the Gem Worm Queen.

Because it was a large relic that had never been discovered by anyone, even though a lot of the treasures inside were eaten by the Gem Worm Queen as nutrients, and even though the amount of treasures that Jian and others could carry with them was limited, they still made a fortune.

In addition to the shared travel expenses, everyone has a small treasury, which is private money.

At this moment, Fulilian raised her hands crying.

"I've already spent all my private money..."

"...How did you spend all that money?"

Jian was puzzled... They didn't seem to have any special expenses during their trip. So where did Fulilian's money go?

Could it be that potion that dissolves clothes? No, that thing is a bit expensive, but it shouldn't cost Fulilian all the money she earned from the ruins.

Unless Fulilian bought more than a dozen bottles at once...

"Mrs. Fulilian, what did you spend your money on?"

Philen's expression also became a little gloomy.

"The look in Philen's eyes... is so scary."

There was fear in Xiutark's tone, and he took two steps back without Philen noticing.

Should we say he was worthy of being called the "Family Emperor"? Even Fulilian shuddered when she was stared at by Feilun.
