I left my shop and went to the nearest souvenir shop. It had the fancy name "Ancient Souvenir Shop", which wasn't too pretentious considering the shops next to it: the Dragon of Gu and the Kingdom of Flame. In fact, these were restaurants in one of which they cooked exotic dishes, and in the other very spicy. They were both famous for their popularity, so things were going well at the Ancient Souvenir Shop.
I went inside and the smell of antiquity hit my nose immediately. These were special scented candles, but the visitors did not know about it.
Even now, there were two people in the store who were enthusiastically choosing a product. One of them was a young lady with a veil on her face and an incredibly sexy body. The second visitor was an old man in a suit. Apparently he was the butler or the guard of this one, because he did not buy anything, but just stood there.
Hmmm, the old man was always lucky with buyers. I walked past them and went to the counter. There was a young-looking girl with slightly plump cheeks.
"Please call your father, I want to talk to him." - I told her.
"Ke In, it's you! I'll call you now, wait here. " - said the little girl cheerfully. She was 13 years old and her name was Miao. She, as you might guess, was the daughter of the owner of this shop.
The owner's name was Long Mao, he was a friend of our family, but after the death of his parents he became only my friend. Precisely because he instilled in me an interest in ancient artifacts, I opened my own shop.
Less than two minutes later, Long Miao returned. But this time an old man walked with her, who looked about 50-60 years old. He smiled warmly and said:
"Ke In, you haven't visited me for a long time. Is there any business? "
"Uncle Mao, I won't detain you, because you have clients, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm going to leave town, so I want to sell all my goods. I didn't want to sell them to a stranger, so I came to you. If you have time, you will drop by my shop and see if you might be interested in something! " - I said. In fact, besides my parents, Uncle Mao treated me the best in this city.
"Are you going to leave town?" Uncle Mao asked in surprise.
"Yes. I got tired of sitting in one place and decided to go and see the world. " - I lied to the old man. I did not want to involve other people in my problems, as I prefer to solve them myself.
"Here's how. I understand that young blood is boiling and I want to let the steam go outside. I was like that when I was young! But don't forget that the outside world is dangerous and inhabited by both crazy people and monsters! " The old man warned me.
"Thanks for the warning!" - I thanked him.
...
When he had dealt with the buyers, we went to my shop so that he looked at the goods. The old man bought almost half of the entire shop. Of course, I understand that he did this only to help me, and not because he needed these things. As a result, I earned 500 Spiritual Coins. This was more than enough to leave the city and live happily ever after in a village for at least several years.
After I helped the old man deliver all the goods to his store, my path was to the Territorial Assignment Bureau. Since it would be very difficult to find a buyer for my territory in such a short time, I got the idea to sell the shop directly to the city. This, of course, will come out cheaper, but it's not so important to me. Now time is much more valuable than money.
...
"Good afternoon, I wish to sell my store." I said to the woman at the front desk.
"Good day." - she greeted me, and then started asking a series of questions - "What did your store do? How many square meters of area? How many floors? Is there a warehouse and does it have goods? ... "
She asked a lot of questions and finally said that she would send an appraiser within a couple of hours.
I left the hero and went home, an hour later a man came to me who was supposed to estimate the value of my store. In fact, after he left, I was a little disappointed as my store was only valued at 300 Spiritual Coins. Evening came. I have already collected all my belongings and handed over the keys and a pair of ownership of the site to a special person. Having ordered a carriage, I packed my things and hit the road.
...
After 3 hours of travel.
I was in the carriage and looked out the window. My hometown grew further and further until it completely disappeared from sight. We got to the Fairy Forest, through which we were supposed to pass, but the carriage stopped.
"Sorry, I was forced!" - said the coachman, and, jumping off the carriage, ran into the forest.
At that moment, my heart sank. Under normal circumstances, the coachman certainly shouldn't have said that, much less run away into the forest. Something is wrong here!
"Bastard Ke In, come out!" - A painfully familiar voice rang out.
Damn the fuck the gang is here!
