Chapter 646: 207. Visiting someone’s home
On the day after visiting Sienna and Kaiden.
Nnd 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, Nnd Lee saw Hadley Grant carrying a heavy backpack,ing out of the store.
After some conversation, Nnd Lee found out that today was the day Hadley was going out to sea.
ording to Hadley’s n, 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 Nnd Lee wanted to buy something, Hadley put down his backpack without hesitation, pushed open the door with a ng, and turned on the indoor hangingmp with a snap.
“Please take a look around, guest. Hehehe…”
With businessing, Hadley’s face was filled with a grin.
Recalling how Nnd Lee had generously bought items worth tens of thousands of gold coinsst time, Hadley’s smile grew even wider.
“I’m sorry, Hadley, for disrupting your ns to go out to sea.” Nnd Lee entered the store with slight apology.
“Not at all, not at all. Eh, going early orte is all the same; those ces with good treasures have been plundered by the wizard families already.” Hadley waved his hand andughed.
Nnd 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.
Nnd 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 Nnd wanted to buy and said:
“Guest, you seem to have a particr fondness for small and ancient things.”
“Yes.” Nnd nodded.
“In that case, I’ll make a detour to the ‘Cave of Spreading Moss’ this trip. There are plenty of such small Dragon n collectibles there.” Hadley said.
Nnd paused, “What Blue Cave?”
“The Cave of Spreading Moss, aplex 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 calcting the bill:
“That ce 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 n collectibles to bring back.”
Nnd ignored Hadley’s slip of the tongue and asked:
“So, you mean there are many Dragon n collectibles in that Cave of Spreading Moss that I would like, right?”
Hadley stroked his beard, faced the ount 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.”
Nnd 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 arge amount of energy reserves.
So, which method was betterpared to chasing criminals?
Nnd 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 ount book, and asked Nnd:
“Guest, are you thinking of going to the Cave of Spreading Moss?”
“I’m considering it.” Nnd 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?” Nnd 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.”
Nnd 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-ss cabin to the Kashel Continent…”
Hadley gave an awkward smile:
“Hey, guest. That’s not quite fair. Apanying you to y 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…” Nnd looked around the room, his gaze sweeping over the items that hadn’t been sold for a long time.
