Chapter 96: Do You Have a Problem With Necromancers?
However, due to Lorraine’s warm invitation, Matthew went with him to the market outside of Marsh Water City.
The place was densely populated. Not only was there stinky water flowing on the ground, but there were also vegetable leaves, human or horse feces, and thick reeds scattered everywhere.
This made Matthew’s already bad impression of Marsh Water City worsen.
In his impression, no matter how many people there were in Rolling Stone Town, the hygiene situation would not be so bad. Perhaps this was related to the sewer project that Rheagar had promoted in his early years.
In front of a straw sandals stall.
Lorraine was talking to a white-haired old woman.
His image was elegant and his words were witty. In a short while, he made the other party giggle.
A moment later.
Lorraine successfully bought eight pairs of straw sandals from the old woman at a price that was 30% lower than the market price.
This surprised Matthew.
‘You know how to bargain?!” He could not help but ask.
Lorraine shrugged.
"I just heard that she sold them to the locals for 3 silver coins a pair, which is a little higher than the price she gave me!
"And why shouldn’t we bargain?
"I’m just super rich, not super stupid.”
This detail once again subverted Matthew’s impression of the bard in front of him.
Matthew did not say a word during the subsequent purchases. He just watched Lorraine’s performance from the side.
In less than an hour later.
Lorraine finished purchasing all the items on the list, and the price of each item was 50% to 30% lower than the initial price offered by the vendor.
To achieve this effect, Lorraine’s outstanding bargaining power was not the only factor.
However, the interspatial ring on the other party’s middle finger was undoubtedly the king of all storage items!
Matthew estimated that it could store at least a warehouse’s worth of things.
It was worth more than 4000 gold coins, but it was impossible to estimate because this number had already exceeded Matthew’s understanding, a poor mage who had lived in a remote town for a long time.
"It’s good to be rich!”
Just as Matthew was sighing in his heart, a commotion suddenly came from the market behind him.
The two of them turned around.
He saw a group of people with pale faces and reeds walking unsteadily.
The stall owners on both sides avoided them.
Even if someone in the team reached out to take the items from the stall, the stall owners did not dare to say anything.
Very quickly.
The sick procession walked out of the market and headed in Matthew’s direction.
"We have to hide.”
Lorraine pulled Matthew’s hand and went into the alley.
After the large group of patients had walked past, Lorraine poked his head out of the alley.
"Do you know why they are still on the streets when they are sick?”
Matthew shook his head, but he guessed that this was probably related to the ” King of Plague “. This group of people was clearly terminally ill, but they were still walking around on the streets, as if they were afraid that no one would inherit their disease. Who else would benefit from this except the master who controlled the plague?
"Quick, their route has changed. Let’s follow them and take a look!”
Lorraine suddenly became excited.
He didn’t seem to move, but two rays of white light shot out from his left ring finger and landed on the two of them.
It was only then that Matthew realized that Lorraine’s ring finger was not as empty as it looked.. There was actually a magic ring that was usually invisible!
