Chapter 646: 207. Visiting someone’s home
On the day after visiting Sienna and Kaiden.
Noland Lee went out early in the morning to quickly replenish his energy reserve.
His destination was “Hadley’s Shop”, a store known for selling genuine items but suffering from poor sales due to high prices and bad appearance.
Just reaching the entrance, Noland Lee saw Hadley Grant carrying a heavy backpack, coming out of the store.
After some conversation, Noland Lee found out that today was the day Hadley was going out to sea.
According to Hadley’s plan, he would leave the port early in the morning, sailing to a good spot near the sea surface close to the Spinning Continent.
Now, hearing that Noland Lee wanted to buy something, Hadley put down his backpack without hesitation, pushed open the door with a clang, and turned on the indoor hanging lamp with a snap.
“Please take a look around, guest. Hehehe…”
With business coming, Hadley’s face was filled with a grin.
Recalling how Noland Lee had generously bought items worth tens of thousands of gold coins last time, Hadley’s smile grew even wider.
“I’m sorry, Hadley, for disrupting your plans to go out to sea.” Noland Lee entered the store with slight apology.
“Not at all, not at all. Eh, going early or late is all the same; those places with good treasures have been plundered by the wizard families already.” Hadley waved his hand and laughed. freewёbnoνel.com
Noland Lee walked around the store, and noticed that more items had been added to the storage shelf. These should be the Spoils of War that Hadley brought back from his previous expedition.
Noland Lee had already used the “just browsing” pretext to “scan” the items in the store with his Deconstruction Technique.
Walking around the store now, he picked out a few items with low prices and high energy reserves.
When it was time to checkout, Hadley scanned the items Noland wanted to buy and said:
“Guest, you seem to have a particular fondness for small and ancient things.”
“Yes.” Noland nodded.
“In that case, I’ll make a detour to the ‘Cave of Spreading Moss’ this trip. There are plenty of such small Dragon Clan collectibles there.” Hadley said.
Noland paused, “What Blue Cave?”
“The Cave of Spreading Moss, a complex and vast underwater cave system. Wherever you go, there’s blue glowing moss, so it’s called the Cave of Spreading Moss.”
Hadley continued while calculating the bill:
“That place is very strange; many wizards who enter can’t get out and end up trapped and die there. I dare not venture too deep inside, I only explore near the cave entrance. I’ll find some unwanted- ah, I mean, I’ll find some small, exquisite Dragon Clan collectibles to bring back.”
Noland ignored Hadley’s slip of the tongue and asked:
“So, you mean there are many Dragon Clan collectibles in that Cave of Spreading Moss that I would like, right?”
Hadley stroked his beard, faced the account book, and thought for a few seconds:
“Mm, correct. I’ve found a lot more trinkets there than in other underwater areas, at least three or four times more.”
Noland quietly noted down this location.
If he couldn’t find a good way to passively deconstruct the sea area for now, going to the mentioned Cave of Spreading Moss might be a good way to quickly obtain a large amount of energy reserves.
So, which method was better compared to chasing criminals?
Noland asked while pondering:
“Hadley, what do you need to watch out for when you go to the Cave of Spreading Moss? Sea People? Sea monsters? Or something else?”
“The most troublesome things in the Cave of Spreading Moss are the terrain, undercurrents, and hidden sea serpents. Because of these three factors, very few people go there.”
Hadley paused, looked up from the account book, and asked Noland:
“Guest, are you thinking of going to the Cave of Spreading Moss?”
“I’m considering it.” Noland replied.
“Oh, I see…” Hadley set down his pen, his eyes flickering:
“If you can pay 80,000 gold coins, I can take you there for a few good rounds. Not to boast, but I have an exclusive Manta Blue Cave Sightseeing Tour Map, ensuring that you can safely enter and leave, while bringing back some small trinkets you like.”
“80,000 gold coins?” Noland raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, 80,000 gold coins.” Hadley waved his hand and said:
“But, not all of the 80,000 gold coins are for me. You might not know, but the sea area ‘Starfall Sea’ where I often go is the Charnel Family’s territory. Anyone who goes there to collect treasures thrown from the Spinning Continent has to pay 50,000 gold coins to buy a pass. This is the case for me, you, and the wizard families as well. The pass is valid for a month, and can be renewed with a 10% discount, which means paying 5,000 gold coins per month for the right to travel through Starfall Sea.”
Noland nodded slowly and asked:
“Since I need to buy a pass for 50,000 gold coins, the remaining 30,000 are your reward, which is more expensive than a first-class cabin to the Kashel Continent…”
Hadley gave an awkward smile:
“Hey, guest. That’s not quite fair. Accompanying you to play in the Cave of Spreading Moss takes up my time collecting treasures. In the same amount of time, I could collect at least 30,000-50,000 gold coins worth of goodies.”
“Really…” Noland looked around the room, his gaze sweeping over the items that hadn’t been sold for a long time.
