I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

At the same time, in the consciousness space inside the staff, Starlight was also nodding desperately at this time. She was looking forward to the outside world, eager to touch everything she didn't know, just like Alice who had just walked out of the academy.

Alice recalled that starlight and suddenly understood where Caschia's motherly attributes came from.

——TBC——

Chapter 39 People are stupid and have too much money. Black

Alice and her group of five did not stay in the Hammer of Hel after receiving the Starlight. They returned to their main stronghold in the lower city - Pergede.

Vishian very generously lent a piece of land to entertain his companions. This was also the first time that Ivan Bell and Starlight arrived in Pergade.

It's wide, clean, and everything seems orderly, a bit like Nomoft's Crossing Association, and a bit like the Hammer of Hel they just left.

This was Ivan Bell and Starlight's first impression of Pelgard. Their initial favorable impression of Pelgard was unexpectedly high, although they didn't know the specific reasons for these values.

"Hey, Robin. Honey, can you do me a small favor? Really, a very small favor. Just help me pick up something from Hel's Hammer."

Before Robinson was summoned to the guild for these words, she happened to be spending a leisurely vacation with her boyfriend, so she didn't give her guild a good look.But fortunately, Robinson controlled herself, and she patiently ran some errands for Visian. Visian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her retreating back.

"Huh, it's really dangerous. Okay! Let me see how your discussion goes!"

Vician sat down next to Caschia, and Caschia on his left was holding a pen and writing down items to be purchased one after another on the list.

"Shovel and pickaxe? What do you want these for? Mining ore?"

"We don't know yet if Lorenzo is hiding underground like us, so I thought these tools might come in handy."

"Don't we have Alice? Let her blast her and make a big hole in the ground, right?"

"That's not how my magic works, okay! By the way, can I bring some pillows? My cervical spine can't stand sleeping on hard objects."

"I want it too. Speaking of which...Alice, do we want to bring some more clothes along the way? We may have to prepare some for Starlight, after all, she is a newcomer to our girls' group."

"Okay, I happen to know where a new clothing store has opened. Caschia lent me the list and asked me to mark it down."

"Wait, I have something I want too!"

"Vician! Can you stop making such fooling around? Didn't you just... No, we won't let you bring the crossbow. Do you remember what happened last time we went on a mission! No, don't even think about it! !!”

Alice's action of taking the list from Caschia's hand seemed to be a signal to start a war. For a moment, everyone was fighting for the right to write what they wanted on the list, with all kinds of crooked handwriting on the paper. At the end of the day, the whole list looks like a preschooler’s doodles.

"You guys! Don't quarrel! Starlight thinks that's not good, we want to live in peace!"

Starlight, who had been quietly listening to everyone's conversation, couldn't bear it anymore. She puffed up her cheeks angrily, jumped up on the table and waved her hands to tell others to stop arguing.

"I was educated. I was educated by a loli who looked like she was only ten years old."

The four older people had blank eyes, and this sentence lingered in their minds like a devil's whisper.They looked at each other, and several fake coughs came from different directions one after another. This was Alice and the others' attempt to hide their embarrassment.

"Ahem, anyway, we need food, water, and medicine. In addition to the change of clothes that Alice proposed, I propose to bring picnic equipment, such as tents and magic stoves. Does anyone have any other opinions? If not, then it’s settled like this?”

"That's it..."

"Well, that's it."

"no comment."

Caschia picked up the full list, his expression as if he was holding the notes of a sage.This list was hard-won. This black ink stain was the product of their tears and sweat. What he was holding was the only shopping list in Nirnati.

The five brave men will follow the guide of the list and go to the oldest battlefield in mankind - the market to show their abilities.

"Visian, are you ready with the money?"

"Ready, sir."

"Okay, let's move forward."

The members of Pergade looked at these five young men who looked like they were going to die heroically as if they were crazy. It happened that among this group of people was their respected president.

"Our guild will be finished sooner or later."

A wise member commented, and his idea was unanimously agreed upon by others.

--------------------------------

When they arrived at the market, they spread out to get everything on their list in less time.

As aborigines, Visian and Caschia naturally knew everything about Ander's prices.There is no need for Ivan Bell to worry. As long as she reveals her identity as a ferryman, no one will have the guts to deceive her again.

The only one who has real problems is Alice. The combination of her and Starlight seems so ignorant of the world (they don't understand anything), and they are so innocent and sweet (they are stupid and have a lot of money).So much so that they were recommended a bunch of all kinds of rare treasures by "well-wishers" along the way, so they spent all their money.

"This is a potion made from Siren's scales. Aren't we going to the swamp? I'm afraid we will get stuck in the mud, but as long as we drink this we can keep breathing while being wrapped in the mud."

"There is also this, a night light powered by magic crystal. It can maintain lighting for a whole night by simply charging it with magic power."

"Ah! This! This is so practical! As long as you crush them and wash them with the clothes, they can effectively remove all stains. Caschia, you will fall in love with these little fruits!"

The first thing Alice did after meeting her companions at the Adventurer's Tavern on Central Cross Street was to take out the items she had purchased and show them to them one by one.

While she was taking things out of her bag, she was still mumbling the sales pitches those unscrupulous businessmen had told her.

The table was full, and Vician raised his glass and drank a large sip of Airlie, trying to let the bitter taste suppress his desire to run away.He gritted his teeth and looked away from Alice, who was full of pride, and secretly wrote down the names of those businessmen who were talking dirty words and were probably counting their money with a sly smile.

"Silly boy, you have been fooled!"

Ivan Bell basically felt the same way. She didn't know whether to pierce the piece of paper, but Alice looked very happy, and the other party didn't spend her money.

So, um, don’t worry about it, right?Ivan Bell pretended not to see everything, lowered his head and ate the steak silently.

Caschia was about to vomit blood. He tried to find something that could be used from the pile of junk that was too harsh but that really had no use.

He tried hard for a while, but finally chose to give up.

Caschia took another look at the shopping list they had drawn up after a heated debate. Unfortunately, the list was only half complete, and there were still many necessities left unfilled.

He felt like he was going to have a migraine just looking at it, so he simply stuffed the crumpled list into his pocket.

"Oh, screw it. I don't care."

As the only reliable person, Caschia also chose to give up saving his teammates. He began to repeat what Vician had done before: he was trying to use alcohol to appease his fragile mind.

————————————————————————

In order to make up for the stupid things she had committed, Alice once again took over the heavy bag of money from Visian and promised the tired financial owner that she would never be fooled by those profiteers again.

Vician did not intend to express any attitude towards this, he waved to Alice; Alice trotted out of the tavern.

"How many useless things do you think she will bring back this time?"

"I bet ten gold coins that there will be no less than five pieces."

"Add me one, at least three items."

Vician and Ivan Bell started the gambling game by themselves, until they saw Alice running back with a lot of things, yes, another lot of things.All three people sighed sincerely, causing Alice and Starlight, who were standing at the door of the tavern, to tilt their heads in confusion.

The Black Expedition has its first rule starting today: Never let Alice Black go shopping alone, for the sake of your wallets (especially Vician's).

——TCB——

Chapter 40 The road ahead is long

After the shopping incident was over, they returned the supplies to Pergede and immediately rushed to the palace. They needed to obtain a pass issued by Ander before embarking on the expedition.

Although they don't really need it, they might encounter extremely responsible patrols on the road.

When they arrived at the palace, they discovered that King Odes had become quite haggard in recent days, and his hairline was receding rapidly in recent days at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pressure from the people was increasing day by day, and these pressures caused more than just physical trouble for the king.

Just yesterday, a devout believer broke into the church that was still under lockdown. In order to prevent him from spreading the news that the Pope was dead, as a king, he had no choice but to ask the guards to take him for a cup of tea without conscience. Have a chat.But the fact is that no matter how many more people you arrest, the fact that the Pope has been missing for nearly a week will not disappear. Before the whole incident is solved, there is no telling how many people who are as brave as him will come to find out the truth.

Odes felt a tightness in his chest. Should he be pleased with the pope's popularity among the people, or should he have a headache about it?

Fortunately, there is some exciting news recently, one of which is related to King Odes's personal life: his wife (former) is planning to meet him, and Miss Aaron seems very satisfied with Earl Albert's entry. Prison news.

And another good news is what Alice brought them.

"Blackwater Marsh? As far as I know, there is nothing in that place except ruins and monsters. Are you sure? Are you sure that place is the assassin's hiding place?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the King. Please allow us to go to Blackwater Marsh, and we will return with the prisoners."

"Then I can only respect your decision, come on. Give them the pass."

The king signaled to the waiter, who walked up to Alice with a tray. Alice picked up the item on the tray - a pass issued by the imperial capital Ander.

Alice played with the metal plate in her hand. She had seen this kind of pass outside the gate when she first arrived in Ander. During the few days she stayed in Pergade, she learned about these small passes from various channels. What are the uses of famous brands?

These passes are divided into grades of gold, silver and bronze, starting from bronze for ordinary people, merchants and special personnel, and finally golden passes are for adventurers and knights who bravely resist the enemy.

What Alice got from the king was the silver communication certificate. She got two of them. Although she once emphasized that Starlight might not need such a thing, King Odes still engraved Starlight on the pass name plate. name.

Starlight looked very happy, and she gestured to Alice with the name tag in her hand.

"Huh? If I remember correctly, he should have a pass."

"I leave this matter to you. I'm sorry that our emperor cannot send more support. But please take this. When you blow this wooden flute, the emperor's messenger will come to you. "

Alice found the wooden flute handed over by the king, and she carefully put it together with her passport in her close pocket.

"Then we'll leave now."

Alice led her companions out of the palace. Beside her, her companions began to discuss the mysterious swamp.

Blackwater Swamp, this was the specific name of the place Alice saw in her dream. She only saw a small part of the swamp at that time, and she had no confidence in whether she could accurately find Lorenzo's hiding place.

But that can only be made clear after arriving at Blackwater Swamp. Now all Alice and the others can do is to leave as soon as possible.

——————————Ander North Gate 15 minutes later————————————

Alice and her companions stood at the city gate to the north of Ander. They gathered under the shadows and left their backs to the residents who were whispering to them.

"They are the king's men. Are these people who are not doing their jobs thinking about somewhere to hang out again?"

"That person looks familiar. By the way, isn't this the person who made a big purchase at the Silver Market yesterday! I really don't know where they got so much money."

"It's a pity that our Lord Pope should have..."

"Hush, hush! You don't want your life, be careful they chop your head off!"

The status symbol Odes gave them not only brought many conveniences, but also imprinted on them the impression of "we are working for the king!"

When the Pope died and the royal family did not dare to announce the matter, the people's distrust of those with high power became more and more intense, and various rumors spread throughout almost every inch of the imperial capital.Everyone who had anything to do with power was hostile to the people, and people lost trust in the royal family.

In addition, the identity of the Pope is actually very sensitive. Alice overheard this from a passerby who was talking nonsense.The Pope has such prestige and popularity in people's hearts not only because of his gentle character and kind heart, but also because he is the director of the only orphanage in Ander and a major member of the anti-war faction.
