The Villain Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life2

"Okay." The dragon trainer responded, and waved the reins.

The carriage began to move slowly.

Because the chassis of the carriage is equipped with a special magic circle, there is almost no bumps in the carriage.

When the speed of the car stabilized, Dak took the initiative to find a topic: "Aurora, what kind of city is the city of freedom?"

Aurora took off her hat and put it on her knees, and said in a low voice: "It's a very dynamic place. Although it still can't solve the domestic demand problem of residents very well, it has been making progress, and it will definitely get better and better in the future. .”

Dak: "I heard that the outside of Liberty City is dangerous?"

Aurora nodded and said: "After all, it was established in the former demon territory, and monsters will invade every once in a while. But we are doing our best to develop the adventurer culture, and we have successfully applied for the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild. More and more people came to the city to help us clean up the surrounding monsters."

Dak said: "Monsters themselves are both danger and wealth. Having a steady stream of monsters means that the City of Freedom can always maintain a way to obtain monster materials. The industries derived from this, such as material processing and trading, may become Pillars of the Liberty City."

Aurora said slightly excitedly: "That's it. I hope that one day, Freedom City will become the world's largest material trading market. At that time, more and more people will come and go from Freedom City, and these people will communicate with each other. Let go of the prejudice against mixed races, and let mixed races be accepted bit by bit. Once mixed races can be treated equally in other places, the capital of freedom will be truly free!"

Duck smiled and said, "That day will definitely come."

Aurora grabbed the brim of her hat tightly, bowed her head and said, "Thank you."

……

The carriage moved forward quickly under the pull of the horned horse, and soon entered the urban area.

Slow down.

Dak opened the curtain and looked out, enjoying the joy of watching the familiar scene with a different mentality.

And Aurora also followed suit, observing the ecology on both sides of the street.

The city of freedom is naturally far less lively than the urban area of ​​the capital.

Aurora looked at it, and suddenly asked: "Is there any homeless in the capital?"

Dak was a little curious as to why she suddenly asked this question, and immediately said, "Why, what did you see?"

Aurora said: "Two wanderers are arguing."

Darke said: "The world is moving forward, and there are always people who can't keep up. Besides, there are countless sorrows left by the war, and homeless people are just one of them. Some people have opened homeless shelters everywhere, but not all homeless people willing to be rescued."

Aurora wondered: "Why are they unwilling to be rescued?"

Dak was silent for a moment, then said: "Dignity, laziness. Some people can't save face, and some people don't want to go to work. The homeless rescue center is to help the homeless get jobs as the core, not to let them eat and drink for free."

Aurora thought about it.

……

Soon, confusion flowed away from both sides, and the hustle and bustle rushed in.

Sapphire Street has arrived.

The carriage pulled over and Trina got off first, followed by Aurora, and then Dak.

After all, Aurora was a child at heart, and seeing the busy scene around her that she had never seen before, her eyes lit up.

There were people coming and going in Lanyu Street, loud shouts would be heard from time to time, and the sounds of quarreling mixed with it seemed to be completely integrated into it, without being obtrusive at all.

This is not a really high-end jewelry area, there are mixed people here.

Dake walked in front very familiarly, introducing various shops to Aurora.

Aurora was listening on the sidelines, but she didn't show any intention of entering the store to observe.

It wasn't until Dake mentioned a jade shop named "Liutianfang" that her eyes lit up and she said, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Dake looked at the brand new signboard of Liutianfang, and couldn't help but look weird.

But he still nodded and said, "Of course."

So the two walked into Liutianfang accompanied by Trina.

As one of the well-known stores in Lanyu Street, Liutianfang mainly sells unprocessed rough stones. Of course, there are also jade ornaments, but they are all made by the owner himself out of hobby.

When Dak entered it, there were quite a few people inside.

But as he walked in, the faces of those gathered around him suddenly changed. They all put down their work, lowered their heads and slipped out of the store, walking in a hurry.

And the owner of Liutianfang's face changed drastically, even showing panic.

But seeing that Duck had no intention of turning around and leaving, the shopkeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to greet him: "Isn't this Master Dimon? What kind of wind brought you here?"

The shopkeeper, aged 50, is dressed in ordinary clothes, but there is a green jade ring around his neck, and the wrists of both hands are covered with jade bracelets, which looks like jewels.

Darke has known him since a few years ago, and he was not polite at the moment: "Bring someone to play, and bring out the best things you have here."

Mr. Shopkeeper glanced at Aurora, who was carved in powder and jade, and immediately understood.

But when he was about to turn his head to get the inventory at the bottom of the box, Aurora said: "No, I'm not here to buy jewelry. Do you have uncut rough stones?"

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper stopped, wiping sweat from his forehead.

In fact, his shop is mainly engaged in betting on rough stones.

But with that little ancestor in front of him, he really didn't dare.

Aurora said enthusiastically: "Then take some out and have a look."

The owner had no choice but to drag an uncovered box out from behind the counter.

The box is full of uncut rough stones, large and small.

Because these rough stones are hidden deep in the ground, they are still covered with a layer of weathered skin after they are mined.

Without cutting that layer of rock skin, the original appearance of it cannot be seen clearly.

It is impossible to know the quality and size of the jade inside.

The store bids, the buyer buys, and then cuts the rock skin of the original stone on the spot to expose the jade in it.

If the quality is higher than the purchase price, it is a profit.

If the quality is lower than the purchase price, it is a loss.

This is commonly known as "gambling stone".

It's just that the gamble here is not only rough jadeite, but also more expensive rare metals or magic stone mines.

Aurora squatted down, picking and choosing from the box of rough stones.

Dake was by his side and had nothing to do, so he also looked inside.

But Aurora just couldn't look away, and stood up after picking for a long time.

Duck asked curiously, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"No." Aurora said happily, "I just came to see."

After finishing speaking, she didn't even look at the jewelry and walked out of Liutianfang.

Dak was confused.

Mr. Shopkeeper is very happy.

……

Afterwards, Aurora went into a few jewelry stores that "gambled on stones", each time with high interest, but not enough to buy anything.

Seeing the time go by, an hour was going to pass, but she still didn't buy anything, even Dake couldn't help it, and approached: "Why don't you buy one?"

"No." Aurora shook her head vigorously, "I don't have that much money."

The shopkeeper standing on the side didn't dare to say that the rough stones in the shop were very cheap.

They just want to send this plague god away quickly.

After leaving the last store, Aurora pulled out the note again obviously satisfied, pointed to the second line and said, "Shall we go to the next location?"

……

The carriage started again, and when it stopped, it was already in front of a high-end dessert shop called "Sweet Honey".

Darke originally thought that Aurora came here for the name, but he didn't expect that it was true, but he still didn't buy anything.

The three of them wandered around for about ten minutes, and Aurora took a look at the desserts used for display.

Then when Da Ke said she wanted to buy some, she shook her head and said no.

But just as the three of them were about to leave, the shopkeeper came out in a hurry, holding a whole plate of steaming pastries in his hands.

She presented the pastry with a flattering face, and complimented: "Master Dimon, this is the latest pastry developed in the store, please try it."

Duck glanced at Aurora who didn't move, and said instead: "Then try it, get a pot of black tea."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper obviously heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and personally led Dak into the small indoor restaurant.

Duck beckoned Aurora to sit down, while Trina stood beside her.

The owner quickly brought a pot of high-grade black tea, then took out the teacups and poured them one by one.

"Go do your thing."

Duck swung her back and tried the pastry.

The shopkeeper couldn't wait for it.

After Dake tasted a little bit, he said, "It's not bad, don't you want to taste it?"

Aurora didn't shirk any more, and picked up a piece of pastry to taste it carefully, then narrowed her eyes as if analyzing the ingredients ratio of the pastry.

After a while, she seemed to feel that she had analyzed it thoroughly before eating the whole piece.

Dak asked calmly, "How does it taste?"

Aurora nodded slightly: "Great."

"Hmm." Duck had nothing to say.

He turned his head to look at the crowd running outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with some memories in his eyes.

……

After finishing the pastries in front of him, Dak rejected the shopkeeper's offer to bring more and asked Trina to pay the holy coins.

Under the flattered eyes of the owner, the three left this high-end dessert shop.

Then continue shopping.
