In Shaoke's expectant gaze, the female mage nodded shyly: "Father, you don't have to go with me. After all, you still have to be busy with business. I believe that Master Xueye will take good care of me on the road."

"Okay! Good daughter, I'll feel relieved. In fact, I'm just worried that it would be unsafe for you, a girl, to walk so far. There will be robbers when you walk to the imperial capital. It's really dangerous for you, a mage, to protect you, it's really dangerous. Those hateful robbers don't care whether you are the mage of the Empire or not!" The merchant expressed his concerns, hoping that his daughter could understand, "Thank you! Master Xueye."

When Shao Ke heard the female mage in front of him agree to go to the imperial capital with him, he was very excited. Could it be that his spring is coming? It should be! After all, he has been in this ice and snow for nearly three years! "Mr. Walton, I am honored to be Miss Walton, oh! Mage Walton agreed to go to the imperial capital with me, and she made me feel a sense of trust."

The merchant shook his head secretly, feeling of being trusted? If I hadn't happened to meet you, a wizard who went to the imperial capital, how could I entrust my daughter to you to help take care of? Alas! Why is it a daughter? I don't know how much to suffer for promotion in the future! "Haha! Master Xueye, stay here for one night tonight, and set off tomorrow! Francis hopes to be with me for a while."

"Okay! Then I'll bother Mr. Walton. Is there anything else? I hope to go to this small town and see if there are any good things I need to buy." Shaoke felt that he could not stay any longer because he found that he couldn't help but stare at the female mage's blushing face. Fortunately, the other party lowered his head and didn't notice it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing, and it seemed that he had never seen a woman before. After making up his mind, Shaoke found a reason to go out and calm down.

"Yeah! Master Xueye, since we are already familiar with each other, why not buy something from me? I believe that as your friend, you will definitely give you a price that both parties are satisfied with." The merchant did not forget his career because the other party agreed to help his daughter. He was very dedicated and hoped to make a deal.

Shaoko was a little amused and crying, "Mr. Walton, I want to see the scenery of the small town and see if there are any items I am interested in need of buying."

After listening to Shaoke's vague explanation, the merchant did not sell his products under the pull of his daughter's little hand. "Mage of Snow Night, it is best not to buy things here. There are basically no better things around this small town. The only crust paper is the lowest. It is made of some tree bark and ordinary tree trunks. It is not real crust paper at all. And the wine here is also..."

"Father, Master Xueye may really have something you don't have to buy. Master Xueye will be unhappy like this." Master Francis Payton whispered and nodded to Shaoko sorry.

"Master Walton, Mr. Walton, I'll go out first. I'll go to the tavern at noon. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll come back before dark." Shaoke stared at the female mage for a while. Although the other party found out, he did not blame Shaoke for being unreasonable. After all, it was not the first time that he was stared at by a mage of the same level, and she also needed the other party's help!

After leaving the hotel and sitting in a carriage that was just stopped by a friend, Shaoke still recalled the appearance of the female mage just now. Fortunately, after learning about Changqi's magic, Shaoke quickly got rid of the figure in his mind.

There were more merchants on the street, but most of them were rushing to the road because they needed to carry goods to the surrounding towns to sell, or to buy some goods in larger cities to come back for transactions. Shaoke asked the coachman to pull himself to the street where merchants gather the most in the small town. The merchants here were like the big dealers that Shaoke saw in his previous life. They prepared sufficient goods and rented warehouses here to the small merchants wholesale goods.

In the surprise of the coachman, Shaoke paid the other party enough money.

Most of the people walking on the street are merchants, some surrounding residents come here to buy some daily necessities, and some mercenaries who are preparing to leave here or sell their prey for a good price are in groups and go in and out of shops.

Shaoke's arrival caused some commotion among the people on the street. Fortunately, Shaoke did not turn on the spell effect on the cloak this time, otherwise these braver merchants would go to watch him! After all, this is the largest city off the border. There are still some mages who report to guard the border and return to the imperial capital. Although most of these merchants and low-level mercenaries cannot distinguish the difference between the two, it does not prevent them from reducing their fresh feeling.

Shaoke walked casually on the street with a staff, observing the signs of some surrounding shops from time to time, and decided whether to go in and watch. After walking for a while, Shaoke found that most of the merchants here purchased or sold specialties from the Mist Forest, and few goods from the south appeared here. Even if they saw one or two, Shaoke was not interested in asking or observing.

The merchants on the street quickly got used to the news that a mage arrived here. Although they really hoped that the mage would buy some magic materials from their own shops, none of them dared to take the initiative to pull the mage in and select items. After all, no one knew that these mages had a lot of strange tempers.

Shaoke searched for a while and finally saw a magic powder shop in the middle of the street. This made Shaoke breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Shaoke still needed these things when he returned this time. There was no magic powder he bought when he came.

The work at the door excitedly received Shaoke's arrival, and the owner of the shop warmly welcomed the mage with a cloak in front of him. "Dear Master, please give me any advice if you can help you!" After performing the etiquette, the merchant of this shop waved his hand to make the curious, fearful, and envious guys on the side prepare tea for the mage.

"Hello! I need some magic powder to conduct some magic experiments, but I don't know if you have what I need here." Shaoke nodded gently, glanced at the items on the shelves and stared at the merchant and said his request: "Is there any magic powder burning?"

"Yes, dear mage, the magic powder here can be said to be the most complete in this small town. Wait a moment, I'll bring it to you now." The owner of the store said proudly, then moved his body with some cystics to get the burning magic powder for Shaoke: "Dear mage, this package of magic powder is the main material of the fire crow's feathers, which is better than the popular burning magic powder. You can try it." The merchant was pleased to Shaoke and introduced the special features of this package of magic powder.

Shaoke carefully opened this pack of magic powder. Of course, he didn't need to try it here. After all, the most common here are all kinds of low-level magic powders. If there is a slight accident, he cannot pay the other party's losses with all his money now. Of course, if he sells the empty stone liquid that has been diluted, it is exceptional.

The magic powder this time is very different from what Shaoke bought from his academy: the powder was developed very finely, with a dark red color, and a faint fragrance radiated. It doesn't touch your hands when you touch it, and it feels a little warm.

After carefully packing the magic powder, Shaoke said: "No need to try it. I feel that this magic powder is much better than the fire spider-made materials. Fire crows and zero-level flying monsters are rare! Did you discover this formula yourself?"

"Dear Master, it's not something that we little people can do, and it's very enviable. It's said that it was a third-level magician who accidentally made it in one of his own experiments. I'm really lucky. Now the empire uses this kind of magic powder! Of course, the price is twice as expensive. I need a pack of four silver coins here!" The merchant said the origin of this material with some envy. If it weren't for the mage in front of him, he would have cursed this mage who had lost his luck.

"Thank you! I'll give me five packs!" After hearing the owner's words, Shaoke also envied this mage. Think about it! How many trainee mages in the entire Blue Feather Empire need such auxiliary magic powder! If other countries also use it, it will be a huge crowd. After all, burning magic powder is the favorite of low-level mages, and the demand is more than twice that of other magic powders. Even if the mage who found this kind of magic powder could only get one copper coin in each pack, it would be a big fortune.

Shaoke bought several other types of magic powder that could cooperate with special spells from the store owner and then left here after forming attacking magic powder. After weighing the small packages of magic powder in the small package, Shaoke understood why the merchant worked so hard to make money. Just these lowest-level magic powder consumed a gold coin for him!

After buying the materials he wanted to buy, Shaoke casually walked around the street. He didn't look at the small town carefully when he came last time. Now he is about to leave. He probably will never come back. Shaoke decided to take a good walk so that he would not recall the endless snow and forests in the future.

At noon, Shaoke found a tavern on the street for dinner. Since he had eaten some pastries at the Walton Merchant in the morning, he only ordered a few slices of honey-sweetened bread to make his stomach. The transparent snow wine was poured into the silver wine glass he carried with him. While tasting the food, he listened to the conversations of the people in the tavern. He hoped that he could meet a group of beautiful mercenaries in the tavern like the novels he had read in his previous life, and successfully joined them to perform the mission, and finally brought the beauty back.

Unfortunately, most of the mercenaries in the tavern are men. Even if there are a few women, they are of the same status as the women in the mercenary group I met during the last mission and are not worthy of his attention to these women. Shaoke hurriedly had lunch. When he had free time to visit the tavern for the first time, he did not expect that a mage would have an impact on the people who were dining here. The diners in the tavern only occasionally asked their companions for some seasonings, without saying a word, which made Shaoke, who was fantasizing about discovering some treasure, was speechless.
Chapter completed!
