"Oreas?"

Abner sat on the bed and shouted loudly.

No one responded.

"Ole—" He paused, seeing a note beside the bed.

He quickly crawled over to pick it up, it was left by Orreas, and said that he went to the soul cave and would be back soon.Next to the note was the money bag, which he weighed as if Aureas had left all the money.

Abner: "..."

He jumped out of bed and stood in front of the window to watch the Yajiang River. The pier seemed to be very busy, with densely packed boats coming and going on the river.

"It's really lively."

He yawned, feeling that he couldn't just sit idle until Oreas came back.

Aureas said that the Bone of the Son of God was in the cross field, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion about how big the cross field was. He walked a long way last night, but the flames still couldn't be seen at a glance.

At this time, he was walking on the street, holding the bone of the Son of God in his hand. The bone of the Son of God had not illuminated. It seemed that the piece he was looking for was not nearby, so he crossed this road and walked to another street. The bone of the Son of God still didn't shine, he turned around, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "The herbal medicine of the spirit beast clan——"

He suddenly turned around and saw a fat merchant standing in front of a low stone house. Seeing that he was interested, the merchant immediately crossed his palms, stretched them out in front of him, and bowed slightly.Abner remembered it as an inviting gesture.

He walked into this stone house, which was very low, without windows, and very dark. The walls on both sides were covered with small baskets woven from bamboo strips, and the air was filled with the aroma of herbs.

"What do you need? Our place is full of high-quality herbs from the spirit beast race." The vendor said enthusiastically.

Abner scratched his head and asked, "All from the spirit beast race? Are there no herbs from other races?"

The merchant's expression changed, he glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "The goods from other tribes are all low-quality goods, how could we possibly sell them to you?"

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, and he nodded.Then walking slowly in this dim room, he saw the small bamboo baskets filled with dried herbs, and the small wooden strips with the names of the herbs hung on the front of the baskets, but he could hardly call out, but he had to keep Calm down, pretending to understand, after a while he asked casually: "I want to ask you if there is a kind of herbal medicine called..."

He remembered a purple herb that Oreas had given him, which seemed to be pronounced ziler.

The vendor looked at him enthusiastically, "What's your name?"

"ziler."

The vendor's eyes widened, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was surprise or astonishment. In short, the split mouth was just so stiff under the nose, and then he laughed "hehe", scratched his cheek, and said, "Guest, you Just kidding me."

Abner: "..."

"What's the matter? Isn't there anything to sell here?"

The peddler rolled his eyes, moved closer to Abner, and whispered, "Of course a small shop like ours won't sell it, after all, the price is too high, but if you need it, I can get it for you."

Abner: "..."

"...how high is the price?"

The vendor raised his brows, "Well...we count by 'plant', this one...you need a rose."

Abner was surprised, "So expensive?"

"Hey, I really didn't ask you for more, but in fact, if there is no special need, I don't need it."

"Oh?"

The vendor gave him a suspicious look and said, "This herb is born from the mother's body. If it wasn't for some wounds that hurt the soul body, what would it be for?"

Abner raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Thank you, if I need, I will come to you."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door. When he heard this, it was a polite refusal, and the vendor quickly chased after him, "It's okay to look at other things."

Abner waved his hand and walked away.

The medicine used to injure the soul and body?Abner recalled that Aureas had used this herbal medicine on two wounds, one was left by the thorn in the mother's body, and the other was left by a spiritual barrier. It was indeed not an ordinary wound, but why did Aureus Yas will have this medicine?

As he was walking, he saw a group of people surrounding a high platform. Not long after, a boy covered in blood was carried out. The crowd dispersed with the boy, and beside the platform stood a anxious and thin man. The man kept stomping his feet and patting his head. At this time, a little girl carrying an angel egg ran to the man's side, and the man's expression was better.

Suddenly the little girl saw Abner, shook the angel egg in her hand, and shouted: "Brother!"

Abner took a closer look, and it turned out that it was the little girl that Aureas sent the angel eggs last night.

The man next to the little girl glanced at Abner and asked her, "Who is this?"

The little girl said: "A big brother who was with this brother bought this for me!"

As she spoke, she twisted the angel egg away, revealing a beautiful little angel.

The man's brows gradually relaxed, he rubbed the little girl's head, raised his head and asked Abner: "Are you a traveler passing by here? I have never seen you before."

Abner smiled and said, "Yes, just do something and leave."

The man said: "It's very noisy here at night, how did you sleep well?"

"not bad."

Abner saw that although the man's words and demeanor were very upright, there was still unresolved irritability in his eyes. He glanced at the blood on the stand behind him and asked, "What happened just now?"

The man sighed, and said: "I just brought a batch of herbs back from the spirit beast clan, and I wanted to build a stand to put in front of the shop, but unexpectedly I found a strange boy to help, he just broke his leg from above, Fortunately, there are no other serious problems, and I am worrying about what to do."

"What's so difficult about it, just find someone," Abner said.

The man sighed again, pointed to the highest point of the platform, and said: "This platform is built extremely densely, and you need to be as tall as the boy just now to get in, but if it is a smaller boy, it will take a lot of strength." Not enough..."

The man glanced at Abner's figure, Abner glanced at the stand, and looked at the man again.

Both laughed.

"Are you interested? But it's not easy to build a stand."

"What's so hard about this!"

Abner patted his chest and strode towards the ladder.

The man hurriedly followed, "Don't force yourself, I can find another...uh."

Abner had already easily climbed onto the elevated platform, then nimbly grasped the thick wooden bar, turned over and sat on it, he swayed his legs, and looked at the people below, which reminded him of the scene in the circus.

But this frightened the man and the little girl.

"You, you can be careful..."

"Brother! Don't scare me!"

Abner smiled, took off his coat, hung it aside, rolled up the cuffs, picked up a wooden bar and started to build it.He had helped build it in a circus, and that kind of platform was more complicated and risky, and there was no need to worry about a platform of this height.

The man was sweating, but he was relieved to see that Abner was so skillful that he even hummed an unknown song.

Abner hurriedly made the shelf before it was hot, grabbed his coat, and crawled down.

The man hurried forward, with an extremely excited expression, handed over a small cloth bag, and said, "Thank you, this is your reward."

Abner declined with a smile, finally accepted the small cloth bag, took the opportunity to weigh it, and left happily.

He walked leisurely on the street, with the same stalls as last night still standing on both sides.During the day, the inferiority of those gadgets became more intense. He raised his eyebrows, ignoring the eager greetings of those small vendors.

He stopped when he came to a cold stall.The trader was sitting on the side, eyes closed, as if sleeping, but his back was straight and his expression was serious.There are crystal pendants hanging on the wooden shelf, most of which are colorful and crystal clear in the sun.He scanned these crystals, and suddenly saw a pitch-black pendant with an irregular surface but a unique luster. For some reason, he thought it was very suitable for Aureas.

He asked, "How much is this?"

The vendor opened his eyes, glanced at the black pendant lightly, then looked up and down Pan Abner, and said, "A rose."

Abner stared wide-eyed, "So expensive?"

The merchant snorted and closed his eyes again.

Abner: "..."

At this time, he saw another pendant, although it was in the shape of crystal, but it did not have dazzling colors, but emitted a faint blue light, and he asked again: "What about this one?"

"One price."

Abu Nanu pouted: "If you buy both, is it cheaper?"

The merchant refused to even open his eyes, and said coldly, "These two are high-quality sword-making materials, they cannot be cheap."

Abner: "..."

He shook the money he just earned, five shells, so he took out two at once and bought two pendants.

Just as he was pulling up the purse, he suddenly noticed that the bones of the Son of God were shining brightly. He turned around quickly and saw a group of children laughing and passing by. He immediately followed these children. In the open space, they squatted together, and then took out stones and gems from their pockets.

"Look!" A little boy raised a red stone in his hand and said proudly, "The stone I'm looking for is red! My father said it's only a stone from the Snow Witch clan across the river!"

Another little boy unconvincedly took out a colorful crystal, very similar to the one sold at the stall just now, "What's so amazing about you, mine will glow in the sun! There are five colors!"

The first little boy's complexion was not very good, and he turned his head with a "hum".

"You guys are nothing!" The third child threw a stone to the ground, and the stone suddenly "sizzled" as if boiling, which scared the other children. The child proudly took the stone back, leaving the others behind. The envious look of the child.

"What is this? Can you lend me a look?" the second child asked eagerly.

"No!" The third child pouted.

Abner: "..." He had seen that "sizzling" stone, but it was just a deceptive gadget.

The second child also snorted proudly, then immediately turned to the skinny child squatting silently in the corner, and asked loudly, "Where's yours?"

"I...I..." The skinny boy faltered.

"There's nothing there, right?" The first boy leaned over.

The rest turned to the skinny kid.

"I have...that's..." The skinny boy hesitantly took out a small, inconspicuous, but shining stone.

Abner squinted his eyes and recognized that it was the bone of the child of God. He looked down at the bone of the child of God in his hand, and it was indeed glowing.

But the skinny kid stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "It! It's glowing!"

But in return it was booed.

"What's so great about the glowing ones, it's not like I haven't seen them before."

"too ugly."

"That's right, I don't know where I picked it up."

Abner: "..."

He walked up to the skinny boy, leaned over and said with a smile, "Good boy, can you give your brother that stone? Brother can take you to eat delicious food."

The thin boy was taken aback, and the other children were even more stunned. After a while, the thin boy silently picked up the stone and looked at it, and said, "Brother, don't you think this stone is ugly?"

"Not ugly, not ugly." Abner was still smiling, thinking that it was too easy to get this bone of the Son of God.

"No!" Suddenly a child next to him rushed over, snatched the bone of the Son of God from the thin child's hand, and shouted, "You are too suspicious! I can't give it to you!"

Abner: "..."

He said: "That's not your thing, why do you make your own claims?"

The snatching child grabbed the stone and said behind his hands, "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. This is our rule here!"

Abner twitched the corners of his mouth, this child was the one who refused to share his "Zi Zi" stone, he wished he could teach this child a lesson, but there would be other people coming over at any time, if there was a big trouble, there would be no So easy.

So he turned to the thin boy and asked, "Son, is he right?"

The skinny kid glanced at the snatching kid and nodded.

Abner: "..."

He asked the snatching child, "Then how can you give me that stone?"

The snatching child thought about it for a while, then suddenly stared at the pendant he just bought in Abner's hand, and said, "I want your blue stone! One thing for one thing, this is what my father told me!"

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched. As expected of a child who grew up in the Cross Field, he spoke with the tone of a businessman. He sighed softly, handed the blue crystal to this child, and exchanged it for the Bone of the Son of God.

After the children got the new "stone", they immediately gathered around and chattered together again. Abner gave them a serious look, and put away the bones of the Son of God.

Then he turned around and laughed wildly, causing passers-by to turn their heads frequently.

He hummed the song again involuntarily, intending to go back to the stall just now to buy another blue crystal pendant, when he bent it, he suddenly heard the conversation of several passers-by.

"What's going on? Why are there so many ships today?"

"Hey, I heard that something happened to the Soul Cave. Many people from the Sufeng Clan went ashore and came to escape."

Abner turned around suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the soul cave?"

"The soul hole is backlashing! No one who got close was spared!"
