Chapter 123 Chapter 41 Trade Union
Verafia, with her delicate little hands, vigorously wiped the corner of her mouth and swayed her slender feet. She raised her big eyes and shouted to the young man opposite her.
“Ig, I’m done eating!”
Perhaps because she had just tasted the delicious tea snacks, Miss Verafia’s voice was also full of spirit and vitality.
Ig couldn’t help but smile and handed her a clean white handkerchief that had been moistened with water.
The girl let out a “hehe” sound, wiped away the crumbs of pastry stuck to her tender red lips, and then wiped her clean hands before raising her sparkling big eyes to look at him.
The warm golden sunlight touched her flawless delicate face, and a smile hung on Ig’s lips.
“This little phoenix is still quite cute when she’s happy… If it could always be like this, I’d be much more relaxed.”
Thinking this, Ig shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, turned to the waiter, and paid the bill.
— The cost at this tea shop wasn’t cheap, but Ig thought that since the gold coins were all earned by this little phoenix, he didn’t need to feel heartbroken.
Ig caught up with the girl in front of him and smiled, asking, “Miss, shall we head to the trade union to buy some supplies later?”
“Yes!”
The girl’s beautiful eyes looked back, and the soft light touched her delicate face, making her smile charmingly. Verafia seemed to be in a good mood, and her voice, like a silver bell, was also cheerful and pleasant.
“Besides picking out a better staff and sword for me, we also need to take care of the ‘Origin Crystal’ of the End in your hand.”
Ig also remembered that Verafia had complained about the staff and sword she mentioned many times.
Although this Miss Phoenix could wave her hand to temporarily condense the elemental flames into a tangible form, creating a staff or sword, these could at best only serve as a medium for her to wield her own power, without any other amplification.
As for the “Origin Crystal” of the End, it was proposed by Feilnuo not long ago, using fire-elemental magic stones or demonic beast life crystals to control the power remaining after Verafia reshaped the End. The girl thought about it and felt there was no problem, so she agreed.
These two matters should have been completed in the morning, and it was exactly as Ig expected. Ig nodded and was about to reply when he suddenly heard the girl’s voice pause slightly before speaking again.
“En, and I still need to buy you some magic scrolls for self-defense… In that case, won’t we be short on money?”
Verafia tilted her head slightly, and her delicate, picturesque eyebrows furrowed. She was not confident that the more than forty gold coins in her hand could buy so many things.
Ig shook his head and smiled.
“Miss. There’s no need for that, magic scrolls aren’t cheap, how about…”
“That won’t do!”
The girl’s voice interrupted Ig’s words abruptly. She raised her little face, and her scorching golden exquisite eyes looked up at him, saying very seriously.
“I told you, you guy, stop being lazy from now on! And this isn’t for you, it’s just so that when this young lady fights in the future, she won’t have to be distracted protecting you!”
Without waiting for Ig to reply, Verafia, without any explanation, pulled him forward.
However, the girl’s steps quickly stopped. A hint of curiosity appeared in her big eyes as she tilted her head sideways.
“Dofi, what do you think of this magic bracelet? This magic stone made of Aberlace crystal will definitely be of great help to your ice magic.”
Not far away, a slender noble youth, dressed quite appropriately and fashionably, was slightly bowing and earnestly speaking to a young lady.
The young lady had blue and white flowing long hair, and her slender delicate body was adorned with an exquisite dress decorated with intricate and luxurious trimmings. The young lady slightly raised her azure blue eyes, and her beautiful face was like a high-mountain flower. She said.
“Rols, there’s no need to trouble you. Teacher Vicina has already gifted me a suitable magic bracelet.”
The young lady’s voice was polite and elegant, but beneath the pleasant tone, there was a hint of distance.
“But, Miss Dofi…” the noble youth named Rols said anxiously.
“Father simply asked me to accompany you to wander around Rubiel, he didn’t mean anything else.”
The girl’s cold voice suddenly shattered the noble youth’s fervent enthusiasm. Rols’s expression froze for a moment, but years of etiquette education made him instantly show an even more enthusiastic smile.
The noble youth bowed to her and apologized.
“No, Miss Dofi, you misunderstand me. It’s just that I heard you are looking for materials for a magic potion, why don’t I accompany you to search for them.”
…
“Vicina… these two, they’re so interesting.”
When the noble youth and the young lady came into Verafia’s sight, she softly murmured, then the corners of her lips curved slightly. She turned her face back to the young man beside her.
“Ig, do you know them?”
“No, they seem to be noble youths from Rubiel City, but their status doesn’t seem low.”
Ig shook his head. His family was in the southern part of the kingdom, and regarding the Duke Territory of Lansiart in the west, Ig only knew a few of the most famous people.
Ig looked at the novelty in the girl’s eyes and said with a smile, “It looks like another case of some people trying to pursue beautiful noble girls and failing. Miss, is there anything special about this?”
“Heh, of course. The demonic power within that mage girl is extraordinary, and she’ll likely be a powerful individual in the future. Of course, she’s still far from being as good as this young lady.”
Verafia playfully stuck out her tongue. Seeing that the blue-haired girl had also left with the noble youth, she retracted the curiosity in her eyes, turned around, and grabbed the young man’s wrist.
“Forget it, it’s all human matters anyway, this young lady isn’t interested. Ig, let’s go!”
—
The Balosais Trade Union was located in every city across the continent, and naturally, it was no exception in Rubiel City, the capital of the Duke Territory of Lansiart.
As the most prosperous city in the western region of the kingdom, the scale of the trade union in Rubiel City was even greater than that in Vist City.
With more than forty Kingdom Gold Coins in hand, Verafia, without much effort, had already spent half of her money to purchase a platinum-rank long sword with exquisite workmanship and a magic staff embedded with a blazing flame magic stone.
— Although, according to the girl, these poorly made and inferior materials were only barely usable.
However, Verafia encountered difficulties when searching for a suitable “Origin Crystal” for the End.
Initially, Verafia thought that with her own origin power as support, the requirements for a magic stone solely for controlling the End wouldn’t be high, and a platinum-rank demonic beast crystal core would be sufficient.
But after actually searching, she discovered that the vast majority of magic crystals did not match Verafia’s power. If they were forcibly embedded, before Ig could even swing his sword, her own flames would be enough to incinerate them into scattered debris.
With these back-and-forth attempts, Verafia’s face inevitably showed signs of frustration.
“Miss, perhaps there’s nothing suitable here… However, I just heard someone say that the trade union will be holding a private trading fair later, why don’t we try our luck there too?”
Ig stopped with the girl and comforted her.
