Heavenly Dao Formula

  Chapter 520 "Dating"

  "..." Li couldn't answer for a while. Obviously this answer was too shocking for her.

   "Then why don't you prepare an umbrella for me?" Xia Fan protested.

"You are a gentleman. Playing with an umbrella will reduce your demeanor." Olena forced the corners of her mouth to rise, pretending to be a serious reply, "Isn't there a saying in Qiguo that goes to the countryside? You can use a felt hat and Cloaks are used to prevent accidents, but I am not prepared for this kind of clothing."

  Suddenly an umbrella leaned over.

  Li stretched out his hand and raised the handle of the umbrella to cover Xia Fan, "Should we share one."

   "This..." Olena was dumb for a moment. She hadn't figured out how to dissuade her, Xia Fan had already accepted the umbrella in the hands of the fox demon.

  How can a gentleman do this kind of thing!

  This umbrella is only the size of one person. Wouldn’t it be impossible for two people to share it?

  Sure enough, a guy with no demeanor!

  Olena was slanderous, but Ke Li's expression was not reluctant, she was obviously willing to do it, she forced to stop it but was not in the atmosphere, so she could only hold the words into her stomach.

  The practice of two people holding an umbrella together attracted the attention of many people on the street.

   Low whispers and whispers are endless.

  And Xia Fan not only did not have the slightest embarrassment, but also took the initiative to look at each other and did not shy away from eye contact. This move also made many women and women's eyes bright.

As a rare oriental, Xia Fan wears a distinctive exotic style in her dress and appearance. The foundation of her height and appearance is also there. With the imposing bonus brought by the emotional person, it is obvious that she is able to compete with the surrounding same-sex competitors. Open the gap. While covering their mouths and laughing, they looked up and down without evasiveness, and the curiosity in their eyes was self-evident.

  This time it is Olena's turn to feel stressed.

  After all, other people are not embarrassed, and the embarrassing becomes herself. It is obvious that three people travel, but two of them are very close. Doesn't this mean that the remaining one becomes a superfluous person.

  The facts were just as she had expected, and the focus of passers-by quickly shifted from Xia Fan to her.

  Someone is already guessing what the relationship between these three people is.

  Dragon Girl's face is not as thick as Xia Fan after all.

  Despite a hundred reluctance in her heart, Olena can only choose to approach Xia Fan, pretending to be inadvertent and covering his other shoulder.

   "So, where do you want to visit?" she asked coldly.

  Xia Fan was a little puzzled. The other party was in a very good mood before going out. Why did it suddenly turn cloudy? "Uh... Are you uncomfortable? Why don't you go back and rest."

  He noticed. Olena sighed secretly, her tone softened a little, "I'm fine, you don't care about me. I have been to Azure Castle several times before. Places worth seeing include the pier, the market, the auction house and the lord's castle. But. Auction houses generally don’t open until the evening, so you can visit other places first."

   "Auction house? What is that?" Li curiously asked.

Facing the fox demon, Olena’s attitude is obviously much better, “Some rare things do not have a fixed price and are not suitable for sale in the market. Therefore, everyone gathers together and bids each other, and finally gets the one with the higher price. Each item has a price, and it needs someone to preside over it, so it has evolved into an auction house."

   "This kind of transaction generally has an entry threshold, isn't anyone can go?" Xia Fan interjected.

"You know a lot." The Dragon Girl glanced at him. "Even the auction house has many subdivisions inside. The top level naturally has to be recommended by rich merchants or nobles and is open to ordinary people. There are not so many requirements for the auction, as long as you buy a ticket. Of course, if you want to participate in it, you have to do a simple property certification."

   "It sounds interesting!" Li couldn't help wagging his tail.

"Of course, don’t look at Azure Fort as the third largest port, but the volume of cargo transactions is not lower than that of the other two cities. It’s connected to the border of the royal capital Hilla, and there are spacious inland rivers directly accessible, and some fleets of ships shuttle through the tranquil sea. Even if you choose to circle the archipelago for half a circle, you will come to Azure Port to unload the cargo, not to mention choosing the eastward expedition."

  "What did these expeditions find?" Xia Fan asked.

"The main thing is to find new land and sea areas, such as the Eastern Continent and the Twilight Sea, which have been popular areas in recent years. As for the spice, ores, treasures and confusing lost treasures brought back, they are all by-products. ."

   "Lost treasure?"

"Similar to a gimmick. Especially gold and silver utensils and currencies, almost all of them are counterfeit goods." Olena sneered at this. "With the same materials, as long as the lost treasure can be named, the price will be Turn it up several times. In the final analysis, people’s desire for the Holy Grail has contributed to this trend. According to the church’s records, the Holy Grail itself is a lost treasure given to the world by God."

  Xia Fan's heart suddenly chucked, "So, is the ancient coin in Qianyan's hand also forged?"

  As early as on the road, a thousand words allowed Olena to observe the coin carefully, but the latter could not recognize the meaning of the words above.

"I don't rule out this possibility." The Dragon Girl nodded slightly, "If that thing is of great significance to her, maybe it's not a bad thing to always treat her as a mystery. But when you mention it so I remember, when it comes to identifying antiquities, no one should be there. She is more skilled than the experts at the top auction houses. If she just wants to find the truth, maybe she can try it there."

  Do you want to find an auction house for appraisal?

  This may be a good choice.

  However, the auction house will not open until the evening, and a thousand words are not interested in accompanying them to press the road, so Xia Fan did not make a decision immediately, but said to Olena, “In this case, let’s go to the market area and have a look.”

  As the saying goes, the market of a city can indirectly reveal its own prosperity. This sentence also applies to the West Pole. The market area in Olena’s mouth has already had the embryonic form of a commercial street. There are a small number of open-air stalls, and most of them are fixed stores, and they use conspicuous signs to indicate their products and characteristics; looking around, a street The signs in Shanglin are colorful, just like flowers.

  There are also a large number of customers and merchants haunting this place. There are well-groomed wealthy families and sailors and civilians in plain clothes. Ragged beggars are also a common sight. Almost every street will have a group of "beggars" gathered in groups.

"Pay attention to your wallet and don't get close to those people." Olena told, "Some of them are underground rats. They often use sympathy to cover up their true purpose. Foreign visitors like you are their top priority. the goal."

  Xia Fan didn't care about this. After being trained by Li for so long, most people don't even want to approach him silently.

   "Xia Fan, I want to eat that." Li pointed to the glass cans placed on the shelves of a shop-the contents were distinct and red in color, like top-grade fish roe.

  But from the signboard, this seems to be a pastry shop.

  Since the fox demon had spoken, Xia Fan would naturally not refuse. He took out several copper coins in exchange for the reception staff and bought a can.

  Opening the lid, he realized that it was a kind of jam.

  Before it was eaten, a tempting aroma came over.

  Li took a scoop with the included wooden spoon and put it in his mouth. His eyes were instantly narrowed.

   "How is it? Is it delicious?"

   "Hmm!" She nodded ~www.readwn.com~ Sweeter than sugar cane, and has the fragrance of apple! "

"Good vision." Olena smiled, "Enjoying jam is one of the specialties of Azure Fort. It is like a fruit when it is first imported. After a period of time, it will produce a peculiar aroma of wine. It is regarded as the most popular dessert in the city. Condiments."

   "That shop seems a bit interesting, let's go and take a look." Li found a new goal again.

  Xia Fan can do nothing.

  In other words, this is what he intended to bring Li to the market area.

  A one-month sea journey will inevitably feel boring and tired, shopping and buying is undoubtedly a good way to relax.

  Of course, this kind of thing is not so attractive to him.

  Compared to the dazzling array of goods in the shop, Xia Fan was instead attracted by a few chimneys not far away with billowing white smoke.

   "Where is it?"

   "It should be a factory." Olena followed his gaze. "A lot of goods shipped to the market need to be processed in advance. There are many factories like this in the market area."
