Chapter 223: I have a friend (2)
Charlotte drove the carriage up the steep mountain road, and as the carriage emerged from the abyss, the sunlight poured down like golden gauze, making everything exceptionally clear, without any fog.
Vivian instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were filled with tears.
She didn't expect to see the light of day again so soon. That night, when she stumbled her way into the foggy abyss, she thought she might never come out again.
Kasha's eyes were wide open. She looked at the distant city, and the two towering towers standing proudly were so magnificent and impressive that she couldn't help but admire the imagination and execution of the city's builders.
The sky was blue and cloudless, and for an entire year, she hadn't seen such a beautiful sky and blazing sun.
When she was in the sea before, she often floated to the surface and stared at the azure sky.
But after being washed into the abyss, even catching a glimpse of the sky became a luxury.
"We'll be entering Calva soon. Don't talk nonsense, especially mentioning my name. I'll have Leo and Linda show you around while I take care of some things, and I'll come find you later." Charlotte drove the carriage and quietly advised the two.
"Okay." Vivian nodded. She knew some of Charlotte's past. In Calva, he was much more dangerous than her, considering that he had been expelled from Calva and was never allowed to return.
The carriage smoothly entered the city. Calva had a tolerance for all races, so the entrance inspection was not strict. The guards were mainly responsible for defending against monster invasions, not checking the people entering the city.
Charlotte drove the carriage straight to Leo's small cabin, parked the carriage in front of the cabin, and knocked on the door.
The wooden door quickly opened, and Linda, wearing a gray cotton dress, opened the door. She looked at the tall man standing at the door, momentarily stunned, then quickly came to her senses and exclaimed, "Doctor, you're here."
"Shh." Charlotte made a hushing gesture.
Linda quickly covered her mouth and looked around before beckoning, "Please come in."
"You two can come down as well and come inside," Charlotte turned and said.
Vivian and Kasha got out of the carriage.
"Linda." Vivian greeted Linda warmly.
"Linda." Kasha was more reserved, but from her eyes full of joy, it was evident that she was very happy to see Linda, who was also a fish person.
"Eileen, Kasha, please come in," Linda exclaimed with equal surprise at the arrival of the three, leading them inside.
Charlotte walked in first and the little cabin was still tidy and organized.
They are excellent potential partners.
After delivering all the potions ordered by Leo, and receiving the final payment, Charlotte entrusted Vivian and Kasha to Linda and Leo. He let them take the two girls to the city to have fun and explore, while he left on his own.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a calm appearance walked into a rather grand oddities shop. With a reluctant expression, he sold a space ring with a gemstone to the shop owner. After some bargaining, he sold it for 250,000 copper coins.
Coming out of the store, the middle-aged man briskly walked along the long street for hundreds of meters, turned into the alley, and when he came out from the other end, he had already transformed into a young man with kidney deficiency, a pale face, and weak footsteps.
This Kidney Deficiency Young Master was dressed up by Charlotte with a facelift mask. He sold Amos' sapphire space ring and received 250000 copper coins, slightly lower than the market price, but still at a price he could accept.
After all, this thing doesn't come from the right way, and he doesn't want to have too much argument with the store over price differences. It can be exchanged for a cash flow.
Not long after coming out of the alley, he saw a shop in front of him from a distance, with a long queue of hundreds of people in front of the door, looking extremely lively.
Charlotte made some inquiries and found out that it was originally a self-operated shop of Calva Trading Company, specializing in the sale of potion repellents. The potion repellent, originally priced at 100 gold coins, was broken today and can be purchased for only 10 gold coins.
As soon as this news came out, the whole city became a sensation, and many middle-class people who had originally thought that 100 gold coins were too expensive and unwilling to buy them came to queue early today.
Look, the queue is constantly growing longer. Although it is moving forward, it is far from keeping up with the increasing number of people waiting in the queue.
Why are so many people here? Isn't 10 gold coins money? They even grabbed it.
Don't mention it. I'll let you come in the morning, procrastinating. That's it. Maybe we'll sell out before the queue arrives.
My young master is almost exhausted. If I can't buy this medicine back today, I'll have to have my leg broken by the master.
The person at the back looked at the long queue, their faces filled with anxiety.
Charlotte, who had originally planned to avoid it, suddenly felt a sensation. There was also a bottle of potion aversion in his space ring, which he had obtained from Amos.
He originally planned to pour out the potion and leave the gold embedded in the bottle, so that he could buy two pounds of meat for a small amount of money.
But he has changed his mind now.
Raising his hand to cover his face, he sidled away and circled a street to the front of the queue.
After glancing at the entrance of the store for a while and receiving a few glances from the guards who maintained order at the door, he turned around and walked toward the end of the line.
In his hand, he had already added a golden bottle of potion aversion, and his face was filled with a proud smile of snatching the potion.
