"Are you talking about this place?" Chipango asked in a low voice as he carefully observed the scene in front of him. He had to take a look, not because he didn't trust his old friend, but because he was worried that Hallister might make a mistake. Raphael had Sunier, Morrisons, and the others by his side. Chipango knew that it was impossible for him to gain Han Jin's attention with affection. What he needed to show was his ability, so this mission was very important to him. He had to do it perfectly.
"This is the place," Hallister said with a smile.
"I don't see anything special about this place." Chipango asked suspiciously. The shop in front of them looked very ordinary. Judging from the exterior, it looked very simple, but there weren't many customers. They had been observing this place for a while. Occasionally, a few carriages would stop in front of the shop, making it look very quiet. The only thing that made Chipango curious was that the customers coming out of the carriages were all dressed very well. They also had attendants. They should be people of some status.
"You've never been here before, right?" Hallister laughed. "That's why I said you don't understand women at all."
Chipango shrugged. "What do they sell here?"
"It's on the top. See for yourself."
"Damn it. If I could understand it, why would I ask you?!" Chipango said angrily.
"That's ancient elven language. No wonder you can't understand it." Hallister was not angry at all. "Let me tell you, this is a jewelry shop that caters to female customers. Most of the things sold here are for women, and the prices are very high. But compared to the goods … Hehe, the price is not a problem."
"This is it? You're sure Eva will come here? " Chipango didn't believe Hallister's words. Deep down, he was filled with hatred. All he wanted was to go back to the Holy Crown City and kill Gerald, who might really be his biological father. He wouldn't use his mind to fall in love with any woman. If he had any desire, there were plenty of prostitutes in the bar who could solve the problem at any time. But for prostitutes, this shop was out of their reach. They weren't qualified to come here, and even if they did come, they wouldn't use their hard-earned savings to buy luxury goods. Luxury goods were the foundation of their survival for the rest of their lives! Therefore, Chipango had no way to learn about this.
"This place sells jewelry, clothes, and perfume made by the elves of Wild Willow City. As a race with a long lifespan, their attainments in art are much higher than that of humans. Oh … art, do you understand?"
"Get lost! If you have something to say, then say it! "Chipango was furious.
"You're cursing! This already proves that you don't understand art at all. " Hallister smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. In three days, Wild Willow City's Moonlight Perfume Auction will be held. From what I know, in the past two auctions, Eva didn't compete with anyone and almost got into an unpleasant situation. This time, she will definitely come."
"Moonlight Perfume? Why is it so attractive? "
"As a cultured noble, I really can't comment on your vulgarity." Hallister sighed. "Unless … I use some very uncivilized words to express my thoughts."
"Alright, stop talking about nobles. If you want to restore your family's glory, now is your best chance." Chipango looked down again. "Are you sure Eva will come?"
"Of course," Hallister said calmly. Hallister said calmly, "They only sell ten bottles of Moonlight Perfume every month. They really know how to do business. Originally, Moonlight Perfume wouldn't sell for such a high price, but the monthly public auction has raised the price to an unimaginable level. Haha … even so, many people are still disappointed."
"They have nowhere to spend their f * cking money!"
"You still don't understand even after I explain it to you?" Hallister sighed again. "Take you for example. With your looks …"
Chipango punched back. Hallister hurriedly dodged to the side. "Can you be more civilized? I'm just giving an example! Even if it's you, if you can seduce a woman with a bottle of Moonlight Perfume, that woman will do anything for you. Of course, this has nothing to do with your personal charm. "
"Are you f * cking saying that as long as I have a bottle of Moonlight Perfume, any woman on the street will follow me?" Chipango said through gritted teeth.
"Well … you have to convince her that you're not holding a fake." Hallister looked Chipango up and down and shook his head. "You don't look like it …"
Chipango had just returned from the Tarasha Mountains and hadn't had time to rest yet. Of course, he was extremely unkempt. He didn't look like someone of status.
Chipango was both angry and amused. "Fine, even if Moonlight Perfume is fatally attractive to women, it's not like before. News of Master Raphael's return has spread, and Manteco will definitely avoid him. How would Eva dare to come out in such a situation?"
"I've seen Eva before. She's always used Moonlight Perfume, but she ran out two months ago. That's why she almost flipped out at the auction," Hallister said. "That's the magic of Moonlight Perfume. Once you've used it, you'll feel uncomfortable all over if you use any other perfume. I think she's already at the limit of her tolerance. If the auction fails again … she might try to steal it."
"You were at the auction too?"
"That's a woman's world. How could I not be there?!" Hallister replied in a voice that sounded like an aria.
"You …" Chipango pointed a finger at Hallister, then dropped it powerlessly. He really didn't know how to describe the man in front of him. "What were you doing there? You can't afford Moonlight Perfume? Oh … I know. You were looking for a valuable woman to seduce, weren't you? "
"We're old friends. Why bother?" Hallister smiled. "Save me some face. No matter what, I'm a cultured —"
"I know, you're a noble! A cultured noble! " Chipango interrupted Hallister, then thought for a moment. "Alright, I trust your judgment. Then … if Eva shows up, what should we do?"
"There are two ways. One is to secretly follow her and see where she goes. I can't do that, so I'll have to rely on you." Hallister paused. "But … like you said, it's different now. Eva must be on high alert, and Manteco … is very scary. They can't be unprepared. Brother, I'm not being pretentious, but I'm really worried about whether you can come back alive, even if you're a high-grade thief. "
Chipango sighed and tapped on the window frame. Hallister had a point. Maybe Eva couldn't resist the temptation of Moonlight Perfume and really did attend the auction, but she must be very careful when she left. With his own strength, it was very, very dangerous!
"You said there are two ways? What's the other way? "
"The Abyss Mercenary Team is only left with the two of them. Manteco's years of hard work have all gone down the drain. He must be panicking. Whether it's for survival or for revenge, Manteco needs help!" Hallister said slowly, "What do you think Manteco will think when a big shot comes from the outside and gets to know Eva by coincidence?"
Chipango immediately understood Hallister's idea. "You want to be this important person? But … don't you know Eva? "
"I've only seen her from afar. I know her, but she might not know me."
"Not necessarily! What if she remembers you? " He knew his old friend very well. He had a natural attraction to women, and it was hard to say whether Eva would remember him or not.
"No way. Eva is not only a woman, but also a high-grade mage. Why would she pay attention to a nobody like me?" Hallister said calmly. "Besides …" Before he could finish, Hallister suddenly walked to the table, picked up the unfinished wine, and poured it into his palm. Then, he rubbed his hair hard for a moment before extending his hand in front of Chipango.
Chipango looked and saw that Hallister's palm had turned black. "This is …"
"My hair isn't black. It's golden," Hallister said with a smile.
"Why did you do that?"
"Can't help it. I'm too handsome and charming with my golden hair. As for women … if there are too few, my life can't be guaranteed. If there are too many, my health can't be guaranteed. Sigh, people like you can't understand my pain." "Also, do you know why I never shave my beard?" Hallister said with a helpless expression. "Also, do you know why I never shave my beard? It's the same reason. I … "
"Forget it, Hallister!" Chipango said sarcastically. "Do you think I don't know you?! You're afraid that you'll get into big trouble one day and get hunted down by some woman's husband. You're saving yourself to increase your chances of survival, right? "
Hallister paused. "No matter what …"
"Shut up. I know you're a well-mannered noble who cares about his reputation!" Chipango scolded jokingly.
Hallister shrugged and didn't defend himself. He was a civilized person and wouldn't argue with someone as rude as Chipango.
Chipango thought for a long time. "Let's use your method. Even Gibran might not be able to follow a highly vigilant Eva. But … your current appearance has nothing to do with a big shot. Let's go. I'll take you to buy some decent clothes."
"Not enough." Hallister shook his head.
"Not enough? What else do you need? "
"How can I make people believe that I'm a big shot? I need at least a few guards around me, right? "
"Well …" Chipango was stunned. Hallister did have a point. No matter how elegant his clothes were, it was impossible to convince someone who met him for the first time that he was a big shot that they could not afford to offend. At the very least, he had to have a few powerful guards around him. That was the most direct and convincing proof.
"Don't tell me Master Raphael doesn't even have a few high-grade professionals around him?" Hallister asked softly. He still had doubts and wanted to use this opportunity to test the dragon slayer's strength.
"Are you f * cking stupid?" Chipango didn't dare to swear when he was with Han Jin, but with his old friend, he had no scruples. "Our people have all fought Manteco. Who can we fool?"
"Then what should we do?"
"Right!" Chipango's eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered the people brought by Yalina's second brother. "Wait for me here. I'll go back and discuss this with the master!"
