Chapter 379 -95: Where’s the face? Gone!_3
How pitiful.
Completely devoid of dignity!
Upon entering the Black Market, Franda did not head straight for the booth selling the two ores.
She wandered around, picking and choosing, spending some Magic Stones on various flower seeds that caught her fancy, and a few attractive trinkets.
After all, her master had given her a substantial amount of Magic Stones to splurge on whatever she wanted for their outing today.
However, maintaining the “Small World” was already straining her master’s budget.
Franda did not want to impose too much economic burden on him.
Just a few whims here and there was enough.
After all, Magic Stones are hard to come by.
Now, it’s time to find the two ores her master needed.
Eventually, Franda reached a temporary booth where a vendor, draped in a dark cloak with a hood that barely revealed his chin, was stationed.
Both the “Molten Gold Ore” and the “Rock Iron Ore” were displayed centrally at the booth.
Franda didn’t beat around the bush, she pointed directly at both ores without negotiating the price and said boldly, “I’ll take both.”
The vendor slightly lifted his head, glanced at Franda, and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, but these have already been reserved. I can’t sell them until the agreed time has passed.”
Franda quickly pulled out an order from her small pocket.
These were transaction documents obtained by five thugs who had sought out the vendor and paid a deposit under Link’s instructions the day before.
“Hmm… okay then.”
After looking at the order he’d written up, the vendor hesitated for a moment and said, “Hand over the Magic Stones and you can have the goods.”
“Here you go.”
Franda then pulled out the prepared 220 standard second-level Magic Stones from her pocket.
The so-called small pocket was actually an illusion.
In essence, as a “Spirit” of the “Small World”, Franda had the ability to store and retrieve items from the “Small World” at any time.
Each ore was worth 120 standard second-level Magic Stones, making the pair quite expensive!
The deposit alone amounted to 20 standard second-level Magic Stones.
After the vendor checked the Magic Stones, he allowed Franda to take the two ores away.
“Alright, Master’s errand has been completed.”
Franda excitedly clapped her hands, looked around at the bustling Black Market, hesitated to leave, and decided to stroll around some more.
Given the rare opportunity to go out and her Master’s permission, she should take the chance to see the world.
She was confident that her adorable behavior would be understood by her Master.
Hehe…
After Link turned around and left, the Lucia who had planned to ambush him realized that they’d been fooled.
He never intended to go on this dangerous mission himself. He just used himself as a distraction and sent someone else to complete the transaction.
The Lucia had informants positioned in the Black Market from the start.
While they were reluctant to disturb the vendor, they dared to observe from a distance.
The moment that Franda bought the two ores, the Lucia received the news.
“Hmph!”
One of the Lucia expressed anger before leaving the ambush circle and heading into the central West District.
If they couldn’t catch Link Grande, they’d kill his accomplice, seize the goods, and vent their frustration.
This was one of Lucia’s original plans.
They had planned to make the person who dared to act on behalf of Link, and the five thugs acting as backup, pay with their lives if they purchased the two ores.
The Lucia had always had people keeping track of Link Grande’s subordinates, precisely to prevent this kind of diversion.
However, what they hadn’t expect was that one of Link Grande’s subordinates was a little girl, not listed in Lucia’s intelligence database.
“What on earth does the Intelligence Department do?”
One of the Lucia raged as he walked, venting his anger, “We’ve searched for so long, yet we’ve missed someone. This is outrageous!”
“We can’t blame them.”
Another Lucia stood up for the intelligence department, “I just checked. This little girl is not registered in the Ravensmouth household registration, but was secretly listed as a summoned being by Link Grande not long ago!”
“A summon?”
The previous Lucia suddenly seemed to realize something and shouted, “Hurry up!”
The other Lucia reacted and quickened their pace toward the Black Market.
But they only managed to witness how Franda just walked out of the Black Market and disappeared into the “Small World” the moment she saw a mob approaching.
Lucia came too late.
Their ambush had failed.
Unaware of the damage her behavior tonight had caused to the Lucia, Franda, who’d been out playing for some time, disappeared from the West District right under their noses, and escaped successfully.
Everything was done openly in front of them.
No consideration whatsoever.
What a humiliation!
