Chapter 296: Chapter 71 Grey Crow Market

After a while, the girl put the crystal ball down again and shook her head.

“Feiya said that the list doesn’t seem to have the kind of stone she wants.”

Due to the relation of the magic contract, the girl and the young dragon could partially sense each other’s emotions; the information the girl read from the crystal ball could also be sensed by Feiya.

“It doesn’t?”

Anvis stroked his chin and looked again at the report detected by the array, including the magic power density, fluctuation frequency, and other data of the young dragon’s body.

Overall, the fluctuation range of the data did not exceed five percent.

However, due to the lack of reference materials on extraterrestrial species, Anvis was also uncertain what this actually meant for the Vortex Young Dragon.

But theoretically speaking, even if this young dragon looked extraordinary, the resources it needed during its juvenile stage should not be too rare.

The greater possibility was that such resources were obscure to the extent that they were of no use to him.

After narrowing the search range to a very small area, Anvis began to carefully recall those obscure resources in his laboratory that matched the description given by the girl.

Moments later, he thought of five different types of ore and crystal-based demonized materials.

New Moon Stone, Star Tear Crystal, Miasma Crystal Stone, Divine Oracles Ore, Empty Crystal Stone.

Although the names of these minerals sounded impressive, they were basically useless and were even used as construction materials and lighting objects.

The reason they had such impressive-sounding names was mainly because it made them easier to sell.

Although these items were not in his lab, if he wanted them, he could have the Chamber of Commerce bring him some at any time.

However, when Anvis’s peripheral vision caught the girl eagerly looking at him, he suddenly changed his mind.

“Regarding the resources that Feiya needs, I think I have some guesses. However, those things are not currently in my lab.”

Meeting the girl’s puzzled gaze, Anvis turned off the lab’s array and spoke with a smile.

“How about this, I’ll take you to the special materials trading market in the Royal Capital, and let it sense for itself?”

“Yay! Brother, I knew you would have a way!”

Fiona immediately cheered, spinning around as she did when she was younger. Her pale golden hair floated slightly with the spin, gently slapping against Anvis.

At this distance, Anvis could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl.

“By the way! Can I bring Kate along too?”

As she spoke, Fiona suddenly remembered something else, her lake-blue eyes hopefully looking at Anvis.

“You can, go back and bring it along, and switch to a more casual outfit. We’ll leave in a bit.”

Gently nodding, Anvis agreed to the girl’s request.

After all, they were not going to any dangerous place; even if Kate ran off, there would be players to help find it.

Shortly after, the girl changed into an elegant, beige-colored dress and came back holding a little kitten.

Anvis took her aboard an Alchemy Vehicle, heading towards the Empire Capital near the academy.

Anvis was fairly familiar with the major trade markets of the Imperial Capital.

In his past life, as a narrative-driven player, in order to better engage in trade to earn gold coins and acquire various adventure supplies, he had specifically studied the trade markets of major imperial capitals.

This time, he planned to take the girl to see the largest special trading market in the Royal Capital–the Grey Crow Market.

It was a massive comprehensive market similar to a flea market, named Grey Crow because of the trait of liking to collect and pick up various miscellaneous objects.

Whether it was various types of ores, Magic Beast materials, or alchemy plants; or precious magic potions, equipment, and relic items, almost everything could be found here.

Many of the origins of these items might not be very clean, but as long as they weren’t directly involved with particular cases of stolen goods, the Guards turned a blind eye to it.

Just as they entered the market, a red-haired boy dressed in worn-out cloth clothes, looking no more than eleven or twelve years old, immediately came over with agile legs.

“Welcome both honored guests to the Grey Crow Market. It seems to be your first time here, right? May I ask what you need to buy? I can guide both of you, just for a small tip of one silver coin!”

This is also one of the special services here. By paying a little tip, you can save a lot of time searching for products on your own.

For most Professionals, one silver coin is not much.

They might casually buy an item, and the vendor might agree to dismiss a few coins of change, so many people agree to hire such a ‘guide’.

However, after listening to the boy’s words, Fiona paused briefly, leaned into Anvis’s ear, and her soft lips slightly moved.

“Bro, do you have any silver coins?”

“What if I said no?”

Anvis looked at the girl, his deep blue eyes filled with a sense of amusement and curiosity.

“Then we’ll just have to reject him, I only have Gold Coins…”

Hearing Anvis’s words, the girl holding the cat shook her head sadly, her big beautiful eyes full of regret.

“Hey, don’t rush, Fei–we might get some silver coins in change after we make a purchase.”

Anvis smiled, no longer teasing the girl.

“That’s right! I didn’t think of that just now.”

Upon Anvis’s reminder, the girl suddenly had an epiphany and pretended to be mature as she nodded to the little boy.

“We agree, please take us to buy…”

Speaking, the girl suddenly blinked.

She suddenly remembered that she didn’t know what to buy and urgently looked at Anvis for help.

“Take us to a place that sells various special ore materials.”

Anvis’s lips twitched slightly, helpfully elaborating for the girl.

“Alright, your excellencies! Please follow me!”

With their agreement, the little boy immediately led them towards one side of the market.

After passing through several lanes dotted with sporadic stalls, soon, stalls and shops filled with dazzling assortments of raw ore materials appeared before them.

Although it’s called a market, the Grey Crow Market is actually a vast commercial district.

Each type of product has its designated selling area, and for first-timers, it really takes a while to get familiar if you want to find a specific type of item without a guide.

“This is the area where ore materials are traded, what Level of material would both of you need?

If it is mid or low level, these external stalls might have more variety and the prices could also be cheaper. For higher levels, you would have to go into the shops.”

After leading them to the place, the little boy confidently explained.

“If you need, I can also recommend some good shops around here.”

“We need New Moon Stone, Star Tear Crystal, Miasma Crystal Stone, Divine Oracles Ore, Empty Crystal Stone–these five kinds of materials, have you heard of them?”

Anvis casually said.

“Empty Crystal Stone?”

But, after hearing this, the boy nodded, seeming to have recognized some of the materials mentioned.

“What you mentioned is a bit niche, it might be hard to find at ordinary stalls, but old Jimmy’s shop should have them.”

Saying so, he again took the pair through twists and turns in a small lane, finding a rather quiet shop.

This shop is located in a two-storied stone building, somewhat pretentious and quirky in appearance. An old wooden sign, bearing the signs of weathering and damage, was inscribed with slightly crooked ancient Gumanian script:

‘Jimmy’s Alchemy Shop’
