Chapter 80 - 80. Mana Stone
Huang Bao who was among them had no intention of making a sound and just chose to remain silent and follow whatever their decision was. It is very unethical if he participates in arguing with the ruler.
A rough sigh rang out from Wan Lie.
??"Hmmm, alright. Don't blame me if one day I can't help myself when someone bothers you," said Wan Lie, he resignedly obeyed his mother's wishes.
While on the other hand, Gu Yi only squeaked when he heard the young man's words.
"Put on your hood," said Fu Xie Lan, grabbing Gu Yi's hood and covering his head. Her legs seemed to tiptoe slightly as she tried to reach his robes. Maybe her body is so short in front of the Lord.
Gu Yi froze and didn't react at all when he received the girl's slightly different treatment than usual.
"Come on," said Fu Xie Lan after seeing one by one the people who were with her, her two feet started to walk.
"Wait," the voice coming from Huang Bao stopped her steps.
"Let me walk first," he added then took long strides past the four people in front of him.
They moved back towards the gate, Huang Bao who again led the way, Wan Lie and Xue Ning walked hand in hand right behind Xie Lan and Gu Yi.
Seeing Huang Bao's arrival, several guards immediately greeted them. The old man had been to the town so many times that some of the gatekeepers recognized him.
"Well, let's see. Who's coming," said a middle-aged man who immediately approached them. His stature wasn't very tall, but if he was close to Huang Bao, the Elder's height only reached the guard's chest.
Hugged Huang Bao from the side, then looked at the few people who were with him.
His eyes moved to scan them one by one seeming to be assessing. Anyone who saw Huang Bao's entourage would find it strange because only that Elder was not wearing a hood. While the rest, two people wearing a hood and only showing the tip of their chin, while a small body wears a mask and a hood perfectly hides her face. while the remaining one only wore a mask, he was a man. As for the others, the guard hesitated to even guess their gender. The only thing they had in common was their robes. The blue robe is the identity of the Wizard race.
"Guys, can you take off the hood?" said the guard as gently as possible, afraid of offending Huang Bao.
Elder Bao was very famous among all races, a tier-three wizard, possessing medical skills that not many people had. Not only that, some very valuable pills he often sold in Kanca City to fulfill the interests of the various races that needed them. And that makes him respected wherever his feet go.
"They are my disciples," Huang Bao said when he heard the guard.
"They have skin diseases, but don't worry, as long as their skin is not too exposed it will be fine."
"I purposely brought them here to treat them immediately when I managed to get the appropriate herbs, it's very difficult to cure them if it's too late," Huang Bao reasoned, a rough sigh that escaped his lips making him look like a frustrated person.
The gatekeeper frowned, took a step back.
"A-alright, I trust you."
"Forgive my impudence, gentlemen, I was only tasked with finding someone," he added with a slight bow.
"Erm, it's fine."
"Don't worry, I will be in charge of them," added Huang Bao again.
The guard just nodded then walked over to several people wearing the same clothes he was wearing. Seemed to say something and a few seconds later, the gate slowly opened wide.
"You are allowed in," he said then handed some jade to Huang Bao.
"Please, give it to those disciples too," whispered the guard.
Seeing the white-colored jade, Huang Bao smiled.
"Okay, thank you. Let's go children," he said then after distributing the jade to them.
The white jade was an item that people in Kanca City should have. As a sign that they have obtained permission to enter the City. people call it permission jade.
The gates began to close again, those who heard the door creak against each other breathed a sigh of relief.
Without a doubt, both Fu Xie Lan and Xue Ning immediately took off their hoods because they felt very hot.
While Gu Yi, still faithfully used the hood of his robe.
"Xie Lan, what if someone ..."
"No, don't worry," Fu Xie Lan interrupted.
Again, Gu Yi grumbled when he heard the young man talking to Fu Xie Lan again.
"Come on," Gu Yi pulled on Fu Xie Lan's hand. They followed Huang Bao.
Fu Xie Lan's purple eyes immediately saw everything around her without a barrier.
The first thing that greeted them was just a footpath. Walking further, some traders began to be seen peddling their wares on the left and right sides of the road. People in different colored robes were seen passing through the streets. The houses are so high seen lined up right behind the merchants.
These buildings are not houses, but inns that are specifically for traders. There are no natives of Kanca City, all the buildings that look majestic are just an inn for those who visit Kanca City. Either as a trader or just a regular visitor. And the better and bigger the building, the higher the price.
The road they were on was no longer a footpath, but some rocks are very neatly and covered by each other. Very similar to the paved roads in Fu Xie Lan's previous life.
Some merchants were seen glancing at their group many times.
Fu Xie Lan encountered various kinds of knick-knacks, ranging from necklaces, bracelets, rings. Clothes, to stones that are very ordinary in shape, are sold there.
Huang Bao stopped his steps and turned to his disciple.
He had almost forgotten something.
"Take this, and buy anything you want," he said handing him a cloth pouch.
Fu Xie Lan untied the pouch, her brow furrowed when she saw the contents of the bag her teacher gave her.
"Stone?"
"It's a Mana stone, in this city the merchants will only make transactions using that stone," Xue Ning explained after knowing the contents of the pouch.
"Mana stone is more valuable than anything, people will prefer the stone to a pile of gold," she added.
Fu Xie Lan was getting more and more confused.
"Those who have a lot of mana stones will easily develop their power by absorbing the mana from the stones," Xue Ning explained again when she saw the frown on Fu Xie Lan's forehead.
