The street returned to its usual appearance, and the smashed shops opened their doors and continued to do business. Some damaged areas could still be seen on the street.
The Demon King played with his bulging wallet as he walked on the street, and his apprentice Reina followed closely behind him.
"Master, what do we need to buy?"
"Things needed for the journey." The Demon King looked around and suddenly stopped as if he had found the shop he was looking for.
Then he turned his head and said to Reina, "For travelers, shoes are your life. You can do without expensive and excellent equipment, but you can't do without a pair of good shoes."
Yes, what he saw was a shoe shop. Behind the glass cabinet, there were all kinds of beautiful women's shoes. They moved from time to time, as if someone was wearing them and walking a few steps, showing them to passers-by.
Ding Ling ~
The crisp doorbell rang.
"Welcome, do you want to buy a pair of shoes? Men's shoes, women's shoes, outdoor leisure, everything."
The shoe shop owner said enthusiastically, his blazing eyes stared at the money bag on the Demon King's waist.
"Find her a pair of hiking shoes."
"Is this little girl wearing them? What kind of style do you want, we have … "
"Do you have boots?"
The Demon King interrupted him.
"Yes!"
The shop owner said and opened a storage cabinet. It was full of shoe boxes, and he quickly found a few pairs of shoes.
"Too hard."
The Demon King said after checking.
"Customer, these shoes are not hard, wearing them is very …"
"Change a pair." The Demon King said coldly, not intending to listen to the shop owner's explanation.
"Okay." The shop owner shrugged. Just as he was putting the shoes back, the Demon King took a fancy to a pair of shoes.
"Hey, give me that pair of shoes." The Demon King pointed to the highest pair of shoes.
It was a pair of special shoes. What was special about it? The color and quality were completely different from other shoes, like a crane in a flock of chickens.
"Customer, you have good taste. That is the best pair of shoes in this shop. It is a pair of magic shoes, made with the most advanced magic materials, it …"
"I'll see for myself." The Demon King's attitude was still as cold as ever.
The boss didn't dare to say anything because of his tall stature and could only obediently give it to him.
The Demon King did not like merchants. Of course, this was only his personal prejudice.
Sure enough, this was a very good pair of shoes. They were made of real materials and exquisite workmanship. The soles also met the Demon King's requirements. It was a good pair of shoes.
But he didn't know if it was the right size.
"I'll give it a try."
The Demon King said to Reina while holding the shoe.
Reina was a little hesitant. The shop owner brought a stool over, and she sat on it.
It turned out that she was worried about what she would do if her feet stank. However, the Demon King didn't know what she was thinking. He only wanted to know if it fit.
At this moment, the Demon King suddenly squatted down and helped her take off her shoes.
"Sigh! Master, I can do it myself. "
The Demon King didn't pay attention to her and directly put on the shoes. He pinched the position of his fingertips. It was empty. Then, he took off the shoes.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought. It was a little too big. No, it should be said that Reina's feet were too small. These feet didn't seem like the feet of a sixteen-year-old.
"Master! Master!! It's so itchy! "
Reina couldn't help but shout. At this moment, the Demon King was pinching her feet, as if he was thinking about something.
"Do you have a smaller size?"
The Demon King let go of her feet and turned his head to ask.
"We don't have this. This is the only pair in this shop. I dare say that I'm the only one in the city."
"It's too big. How much do you want?"
"13,000."
This price scared Reina. 13,000! That was an astronomical figure.
"It's too expensive. 3000."
The Demon King said.
"Impossible. The purchase price is more than this. I'm going to lose a lot of money." The boss shook his head and said. He seemed very determined.
However, the Demon King faintly smiled. Unfortunately, this kind of little trick was completely useless against him.
"Your shoes have been here for at least two years. I reckon that you won't be able to sell them for another two years."
After saying that, the Demon King knocked on the sole of the shoes. Sure enough, some dust flew out.
The boss was a little shocked. He thought to himself, how did he know? This pair of shoes was originally his two years of goods. Although the channel wasn't very bright, he still spent a lot of money. Today, he finally met someone that he liked. He definitely had to ruthlessly slaughter them.
"Customer, you guessed wrong. These shoes were just bought last month. They're very new. The dust probably fell in when they were shipped."
However, his thoughts were completely eavesdropped by the Demon King. The Demon King's face was calm as he said, "Humph, don't think that I'm just here to buy shoes."
After he finished speaking, a red badge appeared in front of his chest at some point.
Ah! Crimson adventurer?
The boss's heart sank. He didn't think that the other party was actually someone from the Guild.
The Guild adventurers' work was very extensive. They even had the job of investigating bad merchants. He didn't know if this was the case.
"That, sir, if you like it, then I'll give it to you."
Immediately, the other party's attitude changed and he said with a smile.
"No need, three thousand."
After saying that, the Demon King handed him the money and directly left with the shoes.
Backpack, clothes, ten pairs of socks, good quality cups, small shovels, knives, tents, sleeping bags, cups, small pots, and so on. They bought a lot of things in a short time. The Demon King's money bag was also empty. He realized that the thirty thousand reward was simply not enough to spend. If he hadn't used tricks to haggle, it would have been impossible to buy so many things.
At this time, it was almost dusk. The two of them carried one big and one small sack, like two snail shells, and prepared to go back.
At this time, they happened to meet Carter.
"Hello."
He very politely greeted the Demon King. The Demon King nodded to him.
"You bought a lot of things today." He exclaimed. Of course, he was surprised that the two of them could actually carry such a heavy load, especially Reina.
"Yes." Reina frowned and lowered her head.
Just as the Demon King was about to speak, she suddenly said, "We're leaving."
"Eh? Where are you going? "
Carter was puzzled. Reina was the same as him. She was a Green Blue adventurer. Logically speaking, she should only be able to work in this city.
Moreover, she didn't come to work today.
"I'm going to defeat the Demon King!"
Reina said with a smile. The Demon King saw her trying to be brave.
Speaking of which, normal people wouldn't say that …
"Demon King?! That's impossible! "Carter said with a bitter face.
"Nothing is impossible. It's just like magic." Reina suddenly interrupted Carter. She gritted her teeth and continued, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Goodbye."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Carter didn't know what to say.
The Demon King glanced at him and left as well.
…
At night, Reina sat alone outside the house, looking at the starry sky.
The Demon King walked out of the door.
"I've fixed your shoes. Try them on and see if they fit."
He said.
Reina didn't say anything. She put on the pair of black boots. Strangely, they fit perfectly. They were even bigger during the day.
She walked a few steps and felt quite comfortable. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Master, it's so strange. I clearly wanted to leave this place before, but why do I feel a little reluctant to leave now that I'm leaving?"
The Demon King didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer. After all, he wasn't human. He didn't have many human emotions.
"You have to find the answer to this question yourself."
He replied.
"It's not too late to turn back. Carter is right. It's not realistic to defeat the Demon King. Are you sure you want to step on this path?" The Demon King asked calmly.
"Yes. No matter what, I have to defeat the Demon King."
Reina nodded in response.
As for the reason, she had already said it. However, the Demon King didn't know if it was her heartfelt words.
"Alright. Sleep early. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
