"..." Li Qian couldn't answer the words. Obviously, this answer was too shocking for her.

"Then why don't you prepare an umbrella for me?" Xia Fan protested.

"You are a man, holding an umbrella will reduce your demeanor." Olina suppressed the rise of the corner of her mouth and replied seriously, "Didn't Qiguo say that it is a saying that goes to the countryside? You can use a high felt hat and cloak to prevent accidents, but I am not prepared for this kind of clothing."

Suddenly an umbrella leaned over.

Li stretched out his hand and raised the handle of the umbrella, blocking Xia Fan, "Why don't we share one."

"This..." Olina was stunned for a moment. Before she could think of how to dissuade her, Xia Fan had already taken the umbrella from the fox demon's hand openly.

No gentleman would do such a thing!

This umbrella is only the size of a person. Isn’t it impossible for two people to cover it up with each other?

It's indeed a sloppy guy!

Olina complained deeply, but Ke Li's expression was not forced. She was obviously willing to do so. She forced her to stop her but was not in line with the atmosphere, so she could only hold her words into her stomach.

The two of them held an umbrella together attracted the attention of many people on the street.

The low voices and whispers were heard all the time.

Not only did Xia Fan not have any embarrassment at all, he also took the initiative to look at each other in the voice without shy of eye contact. This action also lit up many women and women's eyes.

As a rare oriental person, Xia Fan's dress and dress are all distinctive and exotic, and his height and appearance are also placed there. With the momentum bonus brought by the qi-sensing person, it is obviously widespread from the surrounding homosexual competitors. They covered their mouths and smiled while looking up and down without shyness, and the curiosity in their eyes was self-evident.

This time it was Olina's turn to feel stressed.

After all, others are not embarrassed, and the embarrassing becomes herself. Although three people are traveling, two of them are very close to each other. Doesn’t this mean that the rest becomes a redundant person?

As she expected, the focus of passers-by around her quickly shifted from Xia Fan to her.

Some people are already speculating on what the relationship between these three people is.

After all, the dragon girl's face is not as thick as Xia Fan.

Despite a hundred reluctance in his heart, Olina could only choose to get close to Xia Fan and pretend to be careless to cover the other shoulder for him.

"So, where do you want to visit?" she asked coldly.

Xia Fan was quite puzzled. Before going out, the other party was in a very good mood. Why did it suddenly turn cloudy? "Uh... are you uncomfortable? Why don't you go back and rest."

He noticed. Olina sighed inwardly, his tone slightly eased, "I'm very good, don't worry about me. I've been to the Blue Castle several times before, and places worth seeing include a dock, a market, an auction house and a lord castle. However, the auction house usually does not open until the evening, so you can visit other places first."

"Auction house? What is that?" Li said curiously.

Faced with the fox demon, Olina's attitude was obviously much better. "Some rare things do not have fixed prices and are not suitable for sale in the market. Therefore, everyone gathers together to bid for each other, and eventually gets them by the higher ones. Because they often have one price for one item and need a dedicated person to host it, it evolved into an auction house."

"This kind of transaction generally has an entry threshold, not everyone can go there, right?" Xia Fan interrupted.

"You know a lot." Long Nu glanced at him, "Even in the auction house, there are multiple subdivisions inside. The top-level floor naturally has to be recommended by luxury merchants or nobles. There are not so many requirements for auctions open to ordinary people. Just buy a ticket. Of course, if you want to participate, you have to do a simple property certification."

"It sounds interesting!" Li couldn't help but shake his tail.

"Of course, although Azure Fort is only the third largest port, the volume of goods is not lower than that of the other two cities. It is connected to the border of the King of Sheila and has a spacious inland channel. Some fleets traveling through the quiet sea will come to Azure Port to unload goods even if they choose to circle the archipelago halfway, not to mention the expedition team that has chosen to move eastward."

"What have these expedition teams found?" Xia Fan asked.

"The main purpose is to find new land and sea areas, such as the East Continent and the Morning and Dusk Sea, are popular areas in recent years. As for the spices, ores, treasures and lost treasures that are confused, they are all by-products."

"Lost treasure?"

"It's like a gimmick. Especially gold and silver vessels and currency are probably counterfeits." Olina scoffed at this, "With the same material, as long as you can hold the name of a lost treasure, the price will increase several times. In the final analysis, it is people's desire for the Holy Grail that has fueled this trend - according to the records of the church, the Holy Grail itself is a lost treasure given to the world by God."

Xia Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, "So, would the ancient coin in Qianyan's hand be forged?"

As early as on the road, Qianyan asked Olina to carefully observe the coins, but the latter could not recognize the meaning of the words on it.

"This possibility is not ruled out." The dragon girl nodded slightly, "If that thing means a lot to her, it may not be a bad thing to always treat it as a mystery. But when you mention it, when it comes to identifying antiquities, no one should be better than experts from top auction houses. If she only wants to find a truth, maybe she can try it there."

Looking for an auction house for appraisal?

This may be a good choice.

However, the auction house will not open until evening, and Qianyan is not interested in accompanying them to the road, so Xia Fan did not make a decision immediately, but said to Olina, "Since that's the case, let's go to the market area first."

As the saying goes, a city's market can indirectly reveal its own prosperity, and this sentence also applies to Xiji. The market area mentioned by Olina has already had the prototype of a commercial street. There are a few open-air stalls, and most of them are fixed stores. They use conspicuous signs to describe their goods and characteristics. Looking around, the signs lined up on a street can be said to be colorful, like flowers.

There are also many customers and merchants who appear here, including well-dressed rich families and plain sailors and civilians. Ragged beggars are also common, and there are a group of "beggars" gathered together on almost every street.

"Be careful with your wallets and don't get close to those people," Olina reminded. "Some of them are underground mice, and they often use compassion to cover up their true purpose. Foreigners like you are their top priority."

Xia Fan didn't care about this. After being trained by Li for so long, ordinary people would not even think of approaching him quietly.

"Xia Fan, I want to eat that." Li pointed to the canned glass on the shelves of a store - the things contained inside were clearly grained and red in color, which looked like top-grade fish roe.

However, judging from the signboard, this seems to be a pastry shop.

Since the fox demon opened his mouth, Xia Fan naturally would not refuse. He took out a few copper coins he exchanged for from the reception staff and bought a can.

He opened the lid and realized that it was a kind of jam.

Before I started eating, a tempting fragrance came to my face.

Li dug up a scoop with the provided wooden spoon and put it in his mouth, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Yes!" she nodded, "Sweeter than sugar cane, and has the fragrance of apples!"

"Good vision." Olina smiled, "Mizuru jam is one of the specialties of Blue Castle. It is like a fruit when it is first in the mouth. After being placed for a period of time, it will produce a unique aroma of wine. It is the most popular dessert seasoning in the royal city."

"That shop seems interesting, let's go and take a look." Li discovered a new target again.

Xia Fan is invincible.

Or that's what he meant to bring Li to the market area.

A month's journey on the sea will inevitably make you feel boring and exhausted. Shopping and buying is undoubtedly a good way to relax.

Of course, this kind of thing is not so tempting for him.

Compared to the dazzling array of goods in the shop, Xia Fan was attracted by the few chimneys with rolling white smoke not far away.

“Where is there?”

"It should be a factory." Olina followed his eyes, "Many goods shipped to the market and sold need to be processed in advance. There are many factories like this around the market area."
