Chapter 287 Black-hearted
Captain Zane left without nostalgia, which made Edgar Weilan and others very frustrated for a while. They even felt that compared with the captain, they were too hard-working. They blamed themselves and had some impulse to go back to the college with him and enter the state of cultivation at the fastest speed. However, after all, they are only 16 or 17-year-old young people, and their moods can't really be so firm and calm. Zane's perseverance and mind can condense to today was finally come to an epiphany after many things.
The good thing is that the festive atmosphere is too strong, so everyone's mood soon returned to this jubilant atmosphere. The clerks of several weapons stores are desperately selling the exquisite weapons of their shops, saying that they are in a mess. They even shouted hoarsely and are about to break. They are crazy, and they don't know how much the boss has paid them. Of course, there is naturally a reward. A large number of tourists are attracted to the store. Whether they love martial arts or watch the bustle, they can't help but go in and have a look. I have to say that although it is not clear whether the weapons in the shop are really as good as advertised, they are really good in terms of appearance alone, so Edgar and Puth, who love weapons, can't stand ** to follow in without holding them for long. Among them, there were soaring people that I couldn't see the two of them in a moment...
"Haha, Lance, why don't you go in and have a look? Are you not interested in these ordinary weapons after becoming a high-level strongman?" Wei Lan looked at the two male students who ran in crazily, shook her head helplessly, and then found that Lance, who was also a boy, was indifferent and was immediately surprised.
Lance knew enough about the methods of these profiteers in his previous life. They only took out those exquisite but poorly practical weapons at some large festivals to attract those tourists who don't know how to do it, as well as martial artists who are not highly cultivated, so he is naturally not interested in lively festivals. Go in and buy weapons. Especially now, feeling the heavy feeling from his back, he really can't be interested in other weapons.
Lance smiled and said, "I don't like to join the fun. It's crowded inside, and I can't pick out anything good. What about you? The weapons of these shops are exquisite and beautiful. Don't you want to go in and pick them?
"Well, I was going to go in. Who would have thought that those two guys ran so fast that they didn't wait for me to go. Besides, there are really many people inside, and I don't want to squeeze. Weilan pouted. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of interesting things ahead. I ignore them. Let's go to the front and have a look. With that, he jumped forward.
Lance smiled at Ai Garlin beside him and walked forward together. Today's girl has changed her mage robe. After all, magicians are extremely noble. These ordinary people and tourists on the street can't tell the level of magicians. In their eyes, as long as they are magicians, they are absolutely noble and powerful. Lance and Garlene came to go shopping and relax, but they did not come to attract attention and worship. Naturally, they changed into casual clothes early, but even so, Garlin's beauty still attracted the attention of many people. Some self-respecting young people or some rich bosses even want to come forward to talk to them, but when they see the burly handsome and rarely dressed around the girl, they can faintly see the young man with muscles standing beside her, which immediately dispels this unrealistic idea...
Weilan said that she wanted to go shopping together, but in fact, she was too playful. When she saw something interesting, she didn't wait for the people behind her. She had a fight with Edgar and Puth. After a while, Lance and Ai Jialin couldn't completely find her. I can't help but feel helpless. The girl looked at Lance next to her and said, "What should I do now? After a while, all the people are gone."
Lance couldn't help laughing and said, "That's good, so as not to be affected by them. Isn't it good for the two of us to go shopping next?"
"Well, I don't want to hang out with you." Ai Jialin said andly. His face was red and happy, and obviously he was also very happy.
"Hahaha, all right, let's go." Lance was very happy, gently pulled the girl's sleeve and walked with her.

......
The origin of the Divine Grace Festival has a long history. It is said that it existed for many years before the establishment of the empire. After human beings developed and established their own civilization and drove the evil orcs and undead out of the eastern continent, the festival was standardized. Today, the annual Divine Grace Festival is the largest festival in the country. The various ministries of the empire are also proud to take a few days off, and the busy ministers can enjoy a few days of leisure at home, or spend a good time with their families, or go out to travel together.
However, the shops of various chambers of commerce will not rest in these days. With the lively atmosphere, various activities come one after another. For bosses and guys, it is the best rest to open the door to make money crazily. But after all, not all merchants will choose to operate crazily at this time, which means that not all streets are so lively. Except for the central business district of the empire, other areas will naturally be much more deserted.
Lance and Ai Garlin walked all the way, passing by lively weapons shops, exquisite flower shops, and hot taverns. Then he slowed down before a temporary store set up by a chamber of commerce. Just because the temporary selling point of this chamber of commerce is too lively, they can't get up soon. The reason for this is not only because there are all kinds of goods, which are good and cheap, but more importantly because of its reputation. On the top of the temporary canopy, there are several big words: the Wojind Chamber of Commerce.
"What a show. I didn't expect that the headquarters is located in the imperial capital, but there is still a temporary branch here for sale, and it's really overcrowding. Ai Jialin, your industry is really the first in the country." Lance suddenly smiled and sighed.
The girl did not show any pride because of this, but lowered her head in fear, pulled Lalance's sleeves and said urgently, "Let's get out of here quickly, Lance. I saw an uncle who presided over the store. It's not good for him to see us walking together. His mouth is so big. He likes it the most. Talk nonsense."
Lance looked into the venue when he heard the words, but found that there seemed to be a large number of responsible people in it, all of whom were sweating, happy and shining... In a word, it seemed that no one noticed this place and did not want to pay attention to it. Looking at the responsible persons who made money to earn cramps, even if Lance, as a great swordsman, is also a little confused about who Ai Jialin's uncle is, but one thing is certain that even if Lance and the girl go in, it is absolutely impossible to have any possibility of being discovered by the other party. However, although Lance thought about these secretly in her heart, the girl couldn't wait.
"Go, go! Why are you still looking inside, hum! I don't care about you..." The girl said and walked forward with a stuffy head. Lance smiled bitterly and had to keep up.
Fortunately, Ai Jialin was not really angry. After walking out of the area of the branch of the Wokingd Chamber of Commerce, the anxious look on her face disappeared, and Lance also came up and said a few good words. Although she was not necessarily in place, she succeeded in making her smile again.
......
......
After walking through the downtown area, the road behind became calm. After all, not all large and small shops are engaged in festive activities. If that's the case, the imperial capital should be in chaos. First of all, the consul of the Sky City will not allow such a thing to happen in the first place. This is also the reason why the commercial area after entering the city is so lively. Many stores that want to make a profit will choose to sell their goods there.
Out of the commercial center, the streets here are much quieter, but there are still shops open for business. Lance ignored the greeting of the florist beside him, but looked forward doubtfully. Agaline also heard the sound.
The streets here are a little deserted compared with the location of downtown, so there are not many pedestrians. Not far from the flower shop, there is a pet store. You can see all kinds of extremely cute little animals dressed in cages. The black-hearted shopkeepers do not care about their feelings. In this cold climate, they put these poor little animals outside the store without giving any measures to keep warm. Trying to attract more buyers.
Animals are very beautiful, including kittens, puppies, chickens and ducklings. They are all small, exquisite and cute. However, the shopkeeper is a fierce-looking, tall and fleshy man. His appearance really doesn't match such a lovely store...
God's Grace Festival is a festival of gratitude. On this day, the people of the Eastern Continent celebrate the land given by the great god of light to mankind, so that everyone can live a happy life smoothly without worrying about the ravages of evil orcs and dark forces. On this day, people are mostly doing good deeds. Even those merchants who make a lot of money will choose to donate part of their money to the empire's charitable organizations to help those who are in trouble and need help.
However, not everyone is doing good deeds on this day, and the boss in front of him is obviously not one of them. Not to mention that he ruthlessly put the poor animals outside regardless of the cold, but did not give any warm measures, and what he is doing now is even more indignant.
An extremely beautiful and lovely little girl is sitting on the ground crying. There are many footprints on her face. Seeing that the size exactly matches the shoes on the strong man's feet, it is unknown who has got so many feet on the little girl.
However, even though she was treated so cruelly, the little girl still grabbed the strong man's trouser leg and refused to let go. She cried and said, "Please...please, give me back my... my rabbit..."
The little girl is very beautiful and painful, especially the appearance of sitting on the ground crying, which is even more pitiful. Several passers-by couldn't stand it and hesitated to stop.
However, the boss did not have any sympathy. He shouted coldly, "You wild girl from the countryside really don't understand the rules. What is your rabbit? This is obviously a pet in my store. If you want, you can, give me money! Did you learn to steal at such a young age? Huh?"
"Wow... I didn't... I didn't steal... That's mine..." The little girl said with tears on her face.
The boss didn't care about this. He shook his legs impatiently, shook off the little girl's hand, and then shouted at the passers-by who seemed to want to come by the roadside: "What are you looking at? Do you also want to care about the child stealing? I'm in a very bad mood today. Come and take care of it!"
