Not to mention the complicated emotions in the heart of the young girl Ariel, who had her idol shattered in her youth. In the noisy tavern, all kinds of gossip and bragging continued.

It didn't take long for the girl to hear something that concerned her again.

"...Have you heard about the big incident in Valkam?"

"What? Something big happened in Valkam Fortress? Could it be that the aliens from the North are invading again?"

"Of course not. With Duke Terry guarding the border, how can any blind foreigner dare to invade? I heard that the Terry family's youngest daughter is about to have a coming-of-age ceremony. Recently, many people have come to our north to join in the fun."

"I've heard about this too. I saw the heirs of Earl Brewer's family coming over two days ago. The scene was really incredible..."

"How can I be like ordinary people? The future Earl will naturally go to Lucy, the little princess of the Terry family."

"How can such a good thing happen without me? Let's go and join in the fun when the time comes. Even if we can't do it, we can still get some benefits, and it's also a celebration and a long experience..."

"Just you? You're afraid you're not here to eat and drink, right?"

"Hahahaha...that's right..."

Ariel looked a little dazed when she heard this. She recalled that when she was still studying in the magic academy, the introverted little girl who followed behind her and liked to call her Ariel's sister weakly.

'Lucy...I haven't seen her for so long, and I don't know how she is doing...'

Ariel sighed in her heart. Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Is it time for the little girl to have her coming-of-age ceremony? Thinking that she is now wandering outside to break through the legend, she can't help but lament the vagaries of time.

"What? After hearing the news about your friend, are you eager to meet her?"

Wanwan noticed the change in the girl's expression, understood her thoughts in a flash, and asked jokingly.

Ariel couldn't help but feel warm in her heart at his attention to details. She smiled slightly without any intention of hiding it, and said with a bit of nostalgia on her face.

"After all, it is inevitable that I will miss my friends whom I haven't seen for so many years."

Baiwan smiled softly and said in support.

"Then go and see her. After all, it's her coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yes, but we are still wanted and it is not convenient to show up. I will call her out to meet her in private and then leave."

Although Ariel really wanted to attend Miss Lucy's coming-of-age ceremony, she obviously knew what was important.

He and others are wanted now. If they are accidentally exposed, it will not be a good thing for Wanwan and others, or for Lucy who is about to meet.

In the tavern, the group of people not only got the news that they were interested in, but also got a lot of real major events that had happened in the empire during this period.

For example, various envoys from small countries surrounding humans paid tribute, a wave of chaotic beasts appeared in the Death Forest, friendly relations with the Elf Empire, etc...

Wanwan and others did not stay long. After getting the information they wanted, the group checked out and left the hotel. According to the original plan, they planned to go to the horse and carriage shop to buy a carriage for their journey.

…

However, there are some things I didn't expect.

"Sorry, guest. Recently, there are too many people going to Valkham City, so there are no carriages for sale. If you are also going to Valkham City, we have a rental carriage service, and guests can share the carriage with others."

In the carriage shop, a somewhat rich steward explained with an apologetic expression.

"Why are there no carriages for sale? I clearly saw several carriages over there."

Ariel pointed to a few gorgeously decorated carriages at the back and said in a dissatisfied tone. There are obviously several carriages but you insist that there are none. What do you mean? Look down on them?

"this……"

The steward also glanced at the luxury carriages, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Are you afraid we won't be able to pay?"

The girl raised her eyebrows dissatisfied.

"Of course not. Looking at the clothes of all the guests, I don't think they are people who are short of money. It's just the carriage over there, I really don't dare to sell it to you."

The steward looked helpless. After hesitating for a moment, he looked around carefully before lowering his voice and explaining.

"The carriage over there is for the exclusive use of noble gentlemen. I really can't sell it to you casually. How about you feel a little aggrieved and share a carriage?"

Ariel was not convinced after hearing this, and was about to say that she was also a noble. Fortunately, she was pulled back by the white man next to her, and she reacted in time without revealing her identity.

"I'll do it."

A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

Ariel nodded angrily, and glared at the other person before retreating. The main reason was that the girl was a bit strong and didn't want him to feel that she couldn't even handle such a small matter.

Baiwan patted her shoulder to comfort her, then stepped forward and said.

"Sorry, my companion is a little impatient."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way..."

The steward's expression did not change at all, and he still had a smile on his face, as if he was the real person in charge making the decision.

"It's just that there's really nothing I can do about this carriage."

Now the disguises of Bai Bai and Ariel are no longer the same as before. The girl no longer pretends to be a man, but just pretends to be an ordinary female family member.

Her long fiery red hair was dyed a rough flaxen color, and her originally pretty face became ordinary and dull. Even if she was pale, she would still look gorgeous. Plus, her face was fair, and she looked like a young man.

What? Are you talking about Black Dragon Xiaobai? He has a rugged look like a dead salted fish, and he is completely following the other side. So naturally, in this team, Bai Bai looks more like the person in charge.

"I believe you will be able to help."

Bai Bai said something meaningful, and then walked to the luxurious noble carriages. He looked left and right, taking in the decorations of these carriages.

The difference between the carriages sold to nobles and ordinary carriages is probably the same as the difference between ordinary small four-wheelers and modern supercars.

First of all, there is the difference between the horses that pull the carriages. The horses that pull the noble carriages are not just tall horses. They even have some Warcraft blood, and they are very superior in terms of endurance and footwork.

Not only is the interior space larger, the carriage even has various functional facilities. Tables, small tea cabinets, fruit snacks... There are even soft cushions that can be folded down and used as beds.

Whether it is in terms of comfort or functionality, you can see how luxurious this carriage is.

'It is indeed specially designed for nobles. It is indeed luxurious and corrupt.'

Wanwan chuckled and thought that even the carriage he had at the beginning was just a civilian model. Of course, after his magic addition and minor modifications, to some extent it was even better than the noble carriage in front of him.

"Guest, please don't make things difficult for me."

Even though he was pale, he seemed to be disobeying the advice. The fat steward looked a bit ugly.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. I know that this carriage is expensive. How about I pay double the price for it based on the price you sold it for?"

As a saying goes, money can make the world go round. Although nobles are superior in this world, if the benefits are sufficient, then these are not a problem.

"this……"

The steward still looked a little embarrassed.

"three times."

Bai Bai increased the price with a smile on his face, looking like a fool with too much money.

"But this... is a carriage for noble gentlemen after all. If we get to the bottom of it..."

This price has already made the manager very excited. Even if the upper and lower management is removed, he can still make a huge profit.

"Five times."

His pale expression remained unchanged, and he still added the price in a low voice and calmly.

"..."

This time the steward didn't speak. He stared at him with stern eyes, and a trace of greed appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Four times."

But Bai Bai's next words made his greedy and expectant face freeze.

"If you still don't agree, then I will continue to surrender."

Obviously, he was not someone who was taken advantage of. After noticing the greed of the manager, the other party obviously wanted more. How could he still give money to him?

"No, no, no, no! Distinguished guest, we have agreed, four times the price is four times the price. Please wait a moment, I will handle the procedures for you immediately."

Sure enough, when Wanwan said these words, he immediately became a little anxious, and immediately decided to make a profit first.

…

Under the power of financial interests, even in other worlds, the efficiency of work is very high. It didn't take long for all the procedures and certificates for the carriage to be completed.

As for the issue of identity? Don't say that Wanwan and others have already prepared the identity of the southern businessman in advance. Even if they don't, they can easily get it done as long as they have money on hand.

"Guest, please rest assured that the carriage will be safe for us!"

After getting the means of transportation for their trip, the group of people temporarily stored the carriage at the Carriage and Horsemanship Store amid the sound of the steward Bangbang patting his chest.

Just when they left to purchase daily necessities, the fat steward looked at the background where the pale group disappeared. Greed and hesitation flickered on some fat faces.

"Wanwan, won't you show off your wealth by doing this?"

Ariel said in a low voice, obviously she was referring to the other party's behavior at the carriage shop.

"Yes, we have already revealed our wealth. I guess there is a high probability that we have been targeted."

Unexpectedly, Wanwan nodded and confirmed his behavior of showing off his wealth.

"Then why...why are you still there?"

The girl didn't understand. Could it be that she did this on purpose?

"Compared with this little trouble, I don't want to squeeze into a carriage with people I don't know well. Who knows how many people can be crammed into a carriage in this world? You don't want to squeeze into a carriage with a bunch of gay men, right?"

Baiwan rolled his eyes and explained, it's like a van in this world, you never know how many people can get off it. The same is true for carriages in this world, not to mention that the quality of the people at the bottom of this world is even lower.

Just thinking of the scene he mentioned, Ariel couldn't help but shake her head with a chill. Although she didn't have the habit of being spoiled as a daughter of a noble, normal people wouldn't accept this kind of thing.

Seeing that the girl understood, Bai Bai didn't say anything more. He just raised his hand and pinched his chin and said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
