"Your reward, esteemed adventurer."
Luo Xiu took the money bag, feeling its heavy weight in his hand, but he did not feel the joy he had imagined.
His mind was completely absorbed in what Liss had just said.
The town has become more populated; there are more wanderers and itinerant merchants from the west, more adventurers from elsewhere, and even the red dragon Santaya, the red dragon…
Red Dragon...
A flash of inspiration struck Luo Xiu, and he felt as if he had figured something out.
Yes, something big is definitely going to happen in town.
The dragon itself isn't the focus; the people around it are.
How could the youngest son of Earl Larry possibly be visiting Wheel Town?
Wheel Town is located in the northeasternmost corner of the entire kingdom, and it has the harshest climate in the entire kingdom. What is there to do in this place?
At least Luo Xiu had never heard of any important figures visiting Wheel Town, and even Baron Toller, the owner of the Wheel Town territory, rarely returned to the Baron's mansion.
Thinking back to when I massaged Mrs. Chelsea today, she mentioned that the Baron would be returning home tonight.
Luo Xiu was now certain that something big was about to happen.
Although he hadn't yet imagined anything major that could bring all these people together in this small town of Wheels, major events meant change, and change meant danger.
The unease in his heart intensified again, and Luo Xiu even thought about taking Leila to kill another goblin right now.
"Luo Xiu, you look especially handsome when you're thinking."
Liz, standing nearby, pulled Luo Xiu back to reality.
She looked at Luo Xiu with a smile in her eyes:
"What are you thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything, thank you, Miss Liz."
Luo Xiu sincerely thanked him, then called Leila to prepare to leave.
"and many more!!"
Liz, who was behind him, called out to him:
"Now that we have some copper coins, shouldn't we buy something before we leave?"
"shopping?"
Luo Xiu paused, then turned to look at Liss, who had a big smile on her face.
"If you really want to thank me, please patronize my business."
Liz smiled broadly, lightly rubbed her fingertips together, and snapped her fingers crisply.
Her silver hair swayed slightly, and solidified magic poured out from her fingertips. In the blink of an eye, the counter in front of Liss transformed into an exhibition stand.
The transparent glass was filled with pieces of armor, weapons, and strangely shaped magical artifacts.
The wall behind Liss, which originally had the words "Adventurers' Guild" prominently displayed, has been transformed into "Liss Weapon Shop".
"Welcome to Lis' Weapon Shop. This is our inventory list."
Liz smiled and handed a booklet to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu had no idea that Liss also ran a weapons shop.
Opening the booklet, one sees about thirty or forty items, ranging from weapons to props, each labeled with its tier and price.
Luo Xiu glanced at it briefly.
Fortunately, apart from a few items, everything else was within his budget.
For example, a first-tier fire-elemental enchanted iron sword is priced at 130 copper coins.
A steel sword with the same fire attribute enchantment costs 180 copper coins.
After reviewing the list of items, Luo Xiu fell into thought.
The items are all nice, but the key point is that he only has enough money to buy one item.
After much deliberation, Luo Xiu finally chose an item.
"This one will do, a first-tier magic pocket."
"Okay, 130 copper coins, thank you for your patronage."
Liz took a somewhat worn crossbody bag from the counter and handed it to Luo Xiu.
This is a magical pouch that can store things. The label states that its storage space is a cube with a length, width, and height of 1.5 meters, which is just right to hold goblin corpses.
Luo Xiu felt that he would inevitably have to travel back and forth between the guild and Sunset Forest frequently these days; he couldn't possibly carry goblin corpses around every day.
He took out 130 of the 170 copper coins he had just received and paid them to Lis.
Feeling his money bag become much lighter, Luo Xiu was somewhat dazed.
Isn't it too easy to make that money?
“Welcome next time.”
Liz had a bright smile and looked like a shop owner with excellent service.
But for some reason, Luo Xiu always felt that there was something fishy behind Lis's bright smile.
I must be overthinking it.
Shaking his head, Luo Xiuzheng prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait a minute!!!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Luo Xiu turned around in astonishment.
Then Liz snapped her fingers again with a smile.
The items in the display case were instantly replaced with skill books, and the sign behind her was changed to "Lise Skill Shop".
"Welcome to Liss's Skill Shop. This is our inventory list."
Liz smiled and handed a new booklet to Luo Xiu.
Completely bewildered, Luo Xiu automatically took the item and opened it...
Wait a minute, didn't this just happen?!
Luo Xiu rubbed his temples.
It was definitely a trap...
He had only given Liss a massage once and chatted with her a few times before, but he never expected that Liss would have multiple jobs besides being the receptionist of the Adventurers' Guild.
Moreover, her methods of using magic are far from ordinary.
This woman is definitely not simple.
An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.
Luo Xiu had a vague feeling that the wallet at his waist was in some danger.
Flipping through the item list, Luo Xiu realized that because he had just spent 130, there were only a few skills on the list that he could afford.
Luo Xiu looked at these skills, and the more he looked, the stranger his expression became.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask Liz:
Why are healing spells so cheap?
Yes, although there are only three skills, all three of them happen to be skills belonging to the Luo Xiu healing mage class.
These are the basic healing spell, basic detoxification spell, and dust-dispersing spell that Luo Xiu has already learned. All of these are skills that a first-tier healing mage can learn, and each costs 25 copper coins.
"Oh, Luo Xiu, you're a healing mage."
Liz looked surprised.
Luo Xiu thought she was definitely faking it.
This woman just wants to squeeze all my money out of me.
"Don't look at me like that. The price of healing spells has always been the lowest. It's really not something I did on purpose."
Liz looked completely innocent:
"Nowadays, if you want to go the healing route, you will generally choose a priest who focuses on healing and buffing. After all, priests only need to pray to God to advance, while the way to advance as a healing warlock is through exhausting healing training."
"And although the Warlock's focus is on healing and debuffs, their healing is not as good as the Priest's, and their debuffs are not as good as the Conjurer's, so now basically no one chooses this class."
"I don't know why you chose this profession."
Luo Xiu was also speechless.
When he transmigrated, his previous body was already a healing sorcerer.
But there's no use thinking about it now; what's done is done.
Luo Xiu glanced at the skill descriptions of the Detoxification Technique and the Dust-Dispelling Technique. The effects of the first-tier skills were very weak and of little use to him at the moment.
But he still decided to buy one because he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Liss some questions about the cultivation system in this world.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if the first-tier skill effect is weak, he can add points to it.
With the idea of maximizing milk production, he chose the detoxification technique.
He paid 25 copper coins, and the moment Luo Xiu's hand touched the detoxification spell, a system panel popped up in front of him.
[A learnable healing-oriented skill has been detected. 5 skill points in the same direction have been automatically allocated. The skill's effect will be reflected in the next skill upgrade.]
[Skill: Basic Healing Spell LV.2 (5/10)]
Chapter 6 Danger is coming
The detoxification technique in his hand transformed into specks of light and dissipated.
Luo Xiu looked at the panel of the basic healing spell, which had automatically increased by five points, and his expression was strange.
