Cooking Girl on Fire: All the beautiful men come to the bowl

Chapter 256 The City of the Black Market
The setting sun melts gold, and the afterglow is flat, and the sky in the west is covered by a piece of red, bringing out a bloody beauty.

It was already evening at this time, and the city of Lidner was still very lively, with vehicles coming and going, crowds of people, and an endless stream.

The Youth Magic Contest will be held here in five days, and all the preparations have basically come to an end, and the Central Street Plaza, which is the venue of the competition, has been decorated with a new look, and the arena used for the competition has been covered with high bases. Since then, many powerful magic barriers have been set up around the arena, and tens of thousands of spectator seats have been set up under the arena. Just by imagining, one can guess how lively and spectacular it will be on the day of the match.

Prince Luxor walked on the central street square, checking every decoration in the competition venue.This competition was set in the imperial capital, and Luxor became the supervisor of the venue layout. Thanks to Prince Luxor's excellent work ability, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner, and all of them were successfully completed under his command.

"It's so lively!" Prince Luxor looked at the endless traffic on the street, feeling peaceful in his heart, and wondered if he would see her in this competition.

Since the last farewell in the Eastern Empire, Luxor hadn't seen that small figure for several months, but that coquettish flowing red hair, that pair of unforgettable pupils, and that beautiful figure But it has long been embedded in his mind, lingering.

Luxor still remembered that after the engagement parade, he and Princess Christina both announced their divorce. After finishing everything hastily, he quickly chased him out, but what he got was that his personal bodyguard was killed on the trail. The news of the red-haired girl was never found after that farewell.

After that, he sent his confidants many times to inquire about the red-haired girl, but they didn't get the answer he wanted.

Does she remember that she was called "Xiaomi"?What kind of weird name is this?
Did she travel?
She is a magician, right?Her level seems to be quite high, right?
I wonder if she will come to this magic contest?

He still misses her quite a bit, and he remembers those red eyes especially clearly, because he also has such a pair of red eyes.It's just that she is caused by a mad physique, so what about her?Prince Luxor had imagined himself standing side by side with her more than once. That scene made him feel very right, and only that girl could match him.

……

"Prince, prince!" Luxor was thinking, recalling, and imagining, but was suddenly interrupted by the guard's whisper, "Prince, the representatives of the Eastern Empire have arrived, do you want to go and see?"

Eastern Empire?

For some reason, Luxor suddenly felt that Ai Xiaomi should be in the delegation of the Eastern Empire. After all, she was so good. He still remembered that she was playing cat and mouse with the killer in front of him!At that time, she was already a high-level magician, right?

"Go! Of course we're going!" Luxor narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, "The guests from afar have arrived, how can we not greet them in person? Let me replace my father as a landlord!"

When Luxor rushed to the gate of the city, the delegation of the Eastern Empire was just about to enter the city. The team was mighty, with a total of three or no. One of them - the three elders.

You must know that the three elders can almost be said to be the core magicians of the Eastern Empire. Of course, it is impossible for the three of them to appear in the vision of outsiders at the same time.

Luxor personally brought the Eastern Empire's participating teams into the city and sent them to the posthouse.He personally looked at everyone in the team, and his probing eyes swept over everyone, but obviously, Luxor didn't find the person he was looking for among the group of people.

However, Luxor found someone he didn't want to see, and that was Princess Christina.

"Dear Elder," Luxor showed a humble smile to the three elders leading the team, and then asked respectfully, "Is the princess of your country also a contestant in this competition?"

"This," the third elder glanced at Christina, and said calmly, "That's right! Princess Christina tried her best to participate in the trials, but she was squeezed out of the official contestants in the end. She is now a substitute."

"I see." Prince Luxor smiled slightly, but he began to guess Christina's purpose this time.After all, she is a princess of a country, and it is said that she is also the designated heir. Such a person is definitely the focus of attention no matter where she goes.

"By the way, Elder, have all the contestants from your country arrived?" Luxor asked cautiously, "What I mean is, if all the contestants from your country have arrived, I will no longer arrange people to stand at the gate of the city." Accepted."

"Uh." The third elder's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "There is another student on the way, and he will come over in the next two days." The third elder's expression was obviously not very good, and he tightened the communication crystal in his sleeve.

This child Xiaomi is so annoying!
You know, he and his eldest brother have been looking for her outside for more than two months, but she has disappeared like a vapour.If it wasn't for the message from the second brother half a month ago, he and the boss would have almost leveled the Four Elements Mountain.

A few days ago, Xiaomi finally used the communication crystal to get in touch with him again, and the third elder's heart fell to the ground, and he also knew that she was rushing here.

"Oh, that's right." The third elder thought for a while, and said to Luxor, "I have to ask His Royal Highness to send some people to pay attention, that child is called Ai Xiaomi, the appearance is quite obvious, and there is a head that is as red as fire. long hair."

……

When Ai Xiaomi and the others arrived in Las Wella City, it was already dark.

The silver moon was shining brightly, sprinkling pieces of silver ash, and the moonlight shrouded the city of Las Wella, illuminating the streets, large and small, sparkling. From the perspective of the scenery alone, this place is considered beautiful.

However, if you look at it from a humanistic point of view...

"Clap!"

"boom!"

"Crackling! Bang bang bang!"

After a series of noises, screams and groans came one after another. The three of Ai Xiaomi clapped their hands, knocked off the dirt on their clothes, and moved on.This was already the fifth group of robbers they encountered tonight, but it was obvious that these people were not lucky. Not only did the robbery fail, but Ai Xiaomi even ransacked them.

"Xiaomi, I really don't understand. For these guys, it's just a magic second and it's over? Why do you have to leave their cheap lives? We are already late, this delay, why not later? I know I haven’t eaten yet, I’m hungry.” This was the voice of Krominos, he walked in the forefront in the dark, and Ai Xiaomi specially gave him a small lamp to illuminate, not so much to illuminate Rather, it is a guiding light that attracts robbers.Who doesn't know that at their level, they can't fall with their eyes closed, let alone hold a lantern.

Nandi smiled: "Don't be cheap and act like a good boy. Where are the gold and silver treasures of the robbers? Chrominos, don't tell me you didn't take them. Besides, Xiaomi is exercising your control. Now you can't hold the stability with even one effort, and several people died, what about the two-point force, three-point force?" Nandi stepped forward, patted Chrominos on the shoulder and said : "Crominos, you should cherish the opportunity, when you get to the city, there will be no such live targets to train you with."

"Cut!" Krominos snorted disdainfully, "Didn't you make a mistake just now? You think I don't know?"

"Me?" Nandi laughed, "I'm eight points strong, much stronger than you, and I'm defeated." I don't know if it's because of the ruffian that followed Chrominos, Nandi will occasionally talk It has a little black belly taste.

"Who, who is your defeat! I was just in a bad mood that day!" Krominos blushed, hating Nandi mentioning this the most, "Wait, let's fight again someday, I I will never lose to you!"

Ai Xiaomi didn't make a sound when she listened to it, and she inserted a few words from time to time to stir up the flames. The three of them were laughing and joking, which was particularly conspicuous and harsh in the night.

However, this time, no matter how loud their voices were, no one dared to attack them. The sixth group of robbers looked at the small light in the dark and were afraid.

I've seen rampant ones, but I've never seen such blatant ones. They heard Ai Xiaomi's conversation verbatim just now. At first, the robber leader didn't believe it, until a few of his younger brothers reported back to the other family from all directions. In the face of the battle situation, he returned home in a state of anxiety.

It's lucky that people don't use him to practice their hands.

……

The city of Raswella is different from other towns. Whether it is day or night, the gate will never be closed.Because it makes no difference whether it is closed or not.

Generally speaking, people with weak strength will not choose to enter the city of Las Wella at night to avoid becoming the target of robbers, while those with high strength or those who have goods in a hurry will try every means even if they close the city gate Enter.

Furthermore, this city has a remote terrain and no resources. Regardless of its geographical location or military aspect, it has no strategic significance. There are only trades in the city, so there are no heavy guards here, and it will not become a battleground for military strategists. Well, the three empires also seem to have reached an agreement, let this small city let it develop,
Therefore, the gate of Las Wella City is simply opened all year round, but even so, very few people pass through the gate at night.

So when the three of Ai Xiaomi entered Las Wellacheng at night, the city gate guard was still deeply surprised: at night, he had seen a large group of people pass by here unscathed, and a down-and-out businessman empty-handed. Those who entered the city had also seen warriors who entered here with poor clothes and serious injuries, but it was the first time he had seen three teenagers and girls who looked like rich men playing and playing in the city unscathed.

How are they safe and sound?The guard was still puzzled, and even looked outside the city gate to see if the guards of these people hadn't entered the city, but he didn't see anything, but saw the three of Ai Xiaomi walking towards him.

"Brother Guard, I heard that there will be a large-scale auction tomorrow. We came here overnight. I wonder if we can still buy tickets?" Nandi stepped forward and asked politely.

"Yes! Our ticket office in Las Wella City is open all night." The guard nodded, and looked up and down the three of Ai Xiaomi unobtrusively. Apart from his handsome appearance, he didn't notice these few people. Personally special, he said: "If a few young guests come to buy things or gain knowledge, it will be easy. Go straight ahead, turn right at the second intersection, and you will see a ticket office. Tickets for buyers are [-] gold coins a piece, and the seats are naturally on the inner side of the auction, so you can participate in the whole auction. Tickets for participating in the conference are [-] gold coin per piece, and the seats are naturally on the outside, so you can’t participate in the auction , but you can definitely see everything that happened on the field.”

"Unexpectedly, Laswella's idea is very advanced, and he actually developed the auction into a tourism industry." Ai Xiaomi nodded appreciatively, "I'm afraid that the income from the conference tickets alone is a lot of money. source of income!"

The guard looked at the beautiful lady in front of him, and listened to her voice like the sound of nature, and nodded unconsciously, "This lady is really smart, and she told the truth in one sentence. The main source of Laswella's income is the auction service fee. I don't want to These ways of earning income are really not enough. By the way, the young guests must also come out to travel and gain knowledge? If economic conditions permit, I still suggest that you buy a ticket of [-] gold coins per person. After all, the distance ahead is relatively short. If there are any precious treasures to be auctioned, the viewing fee of [-] gold coins is definitely worth the money. I have a friend who sells tickets. If you need it, I can give you a cheaper price..."

"Then where is the auction? What procedures are required?" Ai Xiaomi raised her eyes and interrupted the guard's promotion. She really couldn't see that the city has developed so avant-garde, and this kind of recommendation method has been expanded?

"Do you want to auction?" The guard's face was covered with surprise, but he still replied professionally, "The auction is more troublesome, you need to go to the market headquarters. You also go straight ahead, and you will arrive at the Fountain Square , that is also the center of the town. If you go there, someone will naturally welcome you.”

"Oh, I got it, thank you. It's not too late, let's go there quickly!" Krominos took the right to speak, for fear that the guard would start talking again.Of course, Krominos was not afraid of the other party's long-winded words, but was afraid that he could not help but knock him out.

"Master, miss, are you really going to the auction?" The guard asked unwillingly, "You know, goods worth less than ten amethyst coins cannot enter such a big auction."

It's not that the guard didn't give up, the most important thing was that he didn't believe that a few young guys had the strength to come up with such precious things. You must know how many waves of robbers outside the city were official bandits. It is impossible for them not to attack the big fish!

"Don't worry, it's just selling a few worthless fifth- and sixth-tier pills." The three of Ai Xiaomi had already walked away, and turned their heads to give the guard a sweet smile, and the small voice was carried along the night wind. In the guard's ears, only he could hear it.

The guard stood at the door all the year round, so he had seen many things, so he didn't believe Ai Xiaomi's words.

joke! Tier 5 and 6 pills?Is her medicine a Chinese cabbage?You can't brag like that!Although there is no shortage of precious things in Las Wella City, fourth-tier pills are already rare in Las Wella, and fifth-tier pills are even more expensive.She actually said that she has several?It is estimated that there are quite a few of them, but can they still stand there safe and sound?Bragging without drafting?

Of course, when it was later reported that Laswella sold three fifth-tier pills, two sixth-tier pills, and even a seventh-tier pill overnight, the guard was completely petrified.

Let's say that Ai Xiaomi and the others walked on the streets of Las Wella, only to realize that this city is really different from other towns.It's late at night now, but most of the shops in Raswella are still open, not only that, but the business of shops like taverns and restaurants is surprisingly good.

The street is brightly lit, with torches and the Philosopher's Stone shining together, and the gorgeous street scene sets it off as a city that never sleeps.Nandi and Crominos were surprised to find that Ai Xiaomi, who has always been indifferent to everything, started to feel emotion after seeing the street scene of Las Wella today, and even went to every store to go shopping in person , Chrominos almost thought that Ai Xiaomi had been stimulated by something. Although Nandy knew that Ai Xiaomi did things with intentions, she was at a loss and couldn't figure out why.

"Well, the modern atmosphere here is very strong, maybe it is more suitable for the development of our dungeon." Ai Xiaomi walked and observed, already having a lot of thoughts in her heart.Fortunately, she brought some extra things in the space pendant before leaving, maybe it will come in handy tomorrow.

The three of them walked and waited and watched, and after a while, they arrived at the square that the guard said. At this time, the fountain on the square was spraying water, which was really beautiful.However, the three of them took a closer look. There was no water source nearby, and there was no water transmission device. Those fountains were so beautiful that they all came from the water magic stone below.

"I'm kao." Nandi couldn't help being speechless for a while, imitating Crominos and swearing: "It seems that Laswella can not only make money, but also squander it!"

"Haha, the Minister of Finance is distressed!" Chrominos smirked and was about to make a joke, but turned his head and saw a magnificent building.

"Wow!" Chrominos' eyes straightened.

Because the building in front of me is emitting a golden light, like a luminous body, illuminating the square against the backdrop of torches and magic stones, looking at those golden walls, the shining glazed tiles, and emerald emerald eaves And embellished with all kinds of shining gems, Krominos' saliva could not help but flow down. The dragon's greed and enthusiasm for gold and luminous objects were immediately revealed. He rushed towards the building while running. He also shouted: "God, this is simply my ideal cave!"

Even Ai Xiaomi couldn't help being stunned when she saw this building, and then said in a daze: "This Laswella is really good at squandering money."

At this time, a figure appeared beside Ai Xiaomi.

"Money, of course, is for squandering. Only those who know how to spend money know how to make money. If you just save money blindly, then they are just piles of metal, no more value. The only way to put them into circulation Only by making money with money can we create greater value.”

Ai Xiaomi turned her head and found that there was an extra man beside her at some point.The man was well-proportioned, dressed in a black uniform, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and held a golden apple in his hand.
