The pet owner who sells eggs is called Meng by Sigourney.
Compared to the several shop owners selling magic materials she had met before, this one had a much closer relationship with Sigourney.
For example, the shop owners all called Sigourney "Scarlet Moon" and their attitude was familiar yet appropriately distant.
But this one could directly call Sigourney "Sigourney", and the familiarity in his tone seemed as if they had known each other for a long time.
Ash took the egg, which was no bigger than his palm, and gave it to Meng to weigh.
"Five points." Meng sighed unwillingly.
Ash used Nance's badge to earn points and put the ugly, gray egg into his pocket.
"Are you really not going to choose another one?" Meng tried his best to belittle the egg they just bought, not caring at all that it was a product from his shop. "That egg is so small and ugly. It might have been laid by a wild pheasant. How embarrassing it would be to keep it as a pet? What's more, its life force is so fickle. It might be a dead egg that won't hatch anything."
Sigourney: “…Return the goods.”
Meng raised his arm: "Spell reversal!"
Spell reversal, seven-ring magic, a spell that only grey-robed wizards can master. Sigourney looked at him in confusion, why did a black-robed wizard suddenly say this?
Meng explained sincerely: "Return rebound."
Sigourney: “…”
Sigourney pressed her forehead and waved to Ash: "If you like any eggs, pick up another one."
Ash looked at him, then at Meng, and mentally labeled Meng as "Sigourney's friend". There were only a few people who could make Sigourney compromise, and Meng was obviously one of them.
I feel like I'm one step closer to Sigourney's world.
Ash looked around the store thoughtfully, from the brightest eggs to the giant eggs as tall as a person. After carefully looking at them, he touched the gray egg in his pocket and said, "This is my favorite."
Because it was my choice? Sigourney had a blank expression on his face. He seemed to have figured out Ash's train of thought.
Ash was thinking, after looking around, it didn't matter whether Sigourney chose it or not, what he wanted most was this gray egg. And Sigourney also liked this egg - he and Sigourney had such a tacit understanding.
I just smiled happily.
It seems like I really like Gray Egg.
Meng was helpless: "Well, it seems that we are not destined to be together. You are not the masters of the little guys here."
After giving up on making another fortune, his attitude towards Sigourney and Ash suddenly turned cold.
He waved at the two of them with particular disdain, especially to Sigourney: "Go, go, go! No one dares to come in while you're here!"
This is the absolute truth.
Sigourney snorted and walked out of his shop slowly.
Ash hurried to catch up, and seeing that Sigourney had really left, he couldn't help but look back again - in just a short while, Meng had already enthusiastically attracted the next wave of customers.
So... they are friends?
"He did me a favor." Sigourney's cold breath passed by his ear, "Stop staring at him, you're stupid."
Ash tilted his head and met the vampire's disgusted eyes.
"Oh." He stopped looking at Meng and just thought that it must be a very important thing for Sigourney to say "he did me a favor", right?
What's going on? I suddenly want to know...Sigourney's past, and Sigourney's past.
Just when Ash was lost in thought and Sigourney was careless, several little wizards ran out from the crowd and blocked their way.
The familiar faces were some of Ash's classmates.
"Scarlet Moon, Ash!" These fearless little wizards laughed and shouted, "Please be happy!"
Sigourney: “…” What the hell?
Ash: “?”
Before the two could react, the little wizards pushed and shoved each other, laughed and ran away into the crowd.
Ash then came to his senses, thinking that it was probably because his classmates saw them from afar and came up with this idea on impulse. He laughed, glanced at Sigourney's stunned expression, and whispered "OK" in his heart.
She had already attracted much attention in the market, and now this scene suddenly happened, and Sigourney suddenly stood at the center of everyone's attention. His expression was blank for a moment. Were those little devils too courageous, or had his reputation become milder?
It seemed that after meeting Ash Elwin, who was not afraid of him at all, more and more people dared to gossip about him, peek at him, or even get close to him. He could hardly remember what it was like a few months ago when he was silent and people retreated wherever he went.
"Sigourney." Ash pulled his sleeve and pointed to a glittering magic house. "Yelena and Ivan are over there."
His thoughts were interrupted, but Sigourney breathed a sigh of relief. He looked in the direction Ash pointed, which was a shop selling alchemical products. Judging from the fact that most of the customers gathered around were children, the products should be toys or something like that.
At this time, Ivan and Yelena were standing in front of the shop, seemingly trying out something. Twinkling little stars appeared around them, surrounding them, which was particularly beautiful.
"Want it?" Sigourney raised an eyebrow.
Ash really fell in love with the little stars floating in the sky at first sight. This reminded him of the bright lights in his spiritual world and made him feel very familiar.
Signy walked towards Yelena and the others.
Moyo had a Moses-parting-the-sea effect. As soon as Signe approached, Yelena and the others noticed it from the commotion of the others. Turning around and finding that it was them, they greeted with surprise: "Sir! Ash! Are you here too?"
Over here...
Sigourney suddenly realized that they seemed to have stepped into the low-age area without realizing it.
No wonder there are little wizards everywhere.
"Ah! Isn't this His Excellency Scarlet Moon?" A trembling voice sounded, "Welcome, welcome."
"Ha, don't be afraid. He won't eat you." Yelena comforted the young shopkeeper while turning back to look at Signe, "Sir Scarlet Moon, do you remember? We met the shopkeeper once before."
Sigourney looked at the shop owner's cowardly face. Oh, it turned out to be the driver.
"No impression." He said lightly.
"It was the driver who took us to the Wizard Tower when we came back to the Royal City that day!" Yelena reminded, "The one who drove very fast!"
Ash was lying in a pinewood coffin at the time, so naturally he had no memory of the owner. He only had a deep memory of the devilish deviation and turn that day, and he felt dizzy and nauseous when he thought about it.
So now when I heard that the store owner was the driver, I suddenly felt dizzy again.
The young shop owner was timid, but he had a strong sense of service. He recommended the most popular product in his shop in a trembling voice.
"This, 'There will be stars loving you for me.'" He picked up a five-pointed star-shaped crystal stone. As soon as he took it in his hand, a group of flying and twinkling stars appeared around him. "The more the stars like you, the more stars will accompany you."
There were many little wizards in the store who were curiously trying this out. There were more or less stars flying around each of them. Some had only a few scattered ones, drooping and looking like they were about to go out. Some had more stars, and the whole person was surrounded by starlight, like a big light bulb.
"Don't use those tricks to fool children." Yelena exposed him, "Isn't it just testing the talent of prophecy? It's similar to testing crystals, but the function is single and the form of expression is different."
The young shop owner was about to cry: "Trade secret!"
Yelena shrugged. It was a secret that was easily exposed. She picked up a five-pointed crystal and handed it to Ash. "Although it's simple, it's still quite interesting. Ash, try it. If you like it, I'll buy it for you."
Ash was about to reach out to take it, but Sigourney grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"Don't touch it." He turned aside and whispered in Ash's ear again, "Do you want to cause a big commotion?"
With that, he stood up gracefully and let go of Ash's hand.
Ash finally remembered that he seemed to have a strong talent, and silently withdrew his hand.
He was still a little scared, but luckily Sigourney stopped him.
Yelena blinked and consciously pulled her hand back.
Hey, it's so mysterious, when did Ash and Sigourney start having a little secret?
In the end, only Ivan and Yelena each bought a "Stars Will Love You for Me" and followed Sigourney to leave the market, find a place with a wide view, and wait for the Shining Contest to begin.
For the four of them, although tonight's trip to the market had its own surprises, it was generally smooth and satisfactory.
But perhaps someone couldn't bear to see this smooth flow, and when they were about to leave the market, a group of five wizards stopped them, three high-level and two mid-level. The leader was a mid-level wizard with a young and proud face, who was obviously from a noble family, like Angel, a wizard of the Nth generation.
"Who am I thinking?" Yelena recognized them immediately. "It turns out to be the pillars of the First Wizard Tower."
She narrowed her eyes, and her demeanor suddenly changed, from relaxed and joking to aggressive: "I say, a good dog doesn't block the road. It's the annual star-falling day, and we don't really want to beat the dog. You guys better get out of here!"
Ivan also silently took a step forward, standing in front of Ash, looking at him coldly.
Ash clenched his fists gently, his eyes wandering over the five arrogant faces... Enemies? Rivals?
