Although it is also called setting up a stall here, it is not the same as "setting up a stall" as commonly understood.
The most common one is the mirror. There are mirrors erected everywhere. The mirror is a 'door' that can lead to the stalls behind it. The mirror will show part of the internal scene or the appearance of the main product, which is used to
Attract customers who come and go.
In addition to the erected mirror groups, there are also people who are standing next to them holding a sign, with a large box behind them. The sign records their goods, and you can discuss it in detail if necessary.
Of course, there are also stalls where the products are spread out and placed on the ground. But generally speaking, there are very few.
Mainly, there is no safety guarantee.
This kind of real street stalls either have low-value goods and dare to spread them on the ground casually, and it doesn't matter if they are lost; or the merchants are powerful and are not afraid of anyone approaching.
In addition to the above-mentioned stalls, there is also a "crystal shell" stall specially provided by the Jingmu clan.
Rent the crystal shell, and then unfold the crystal shell to form a crystal cabin.
Use crystal huts as temporary shops.
This kind of crystal shell stall that needs to be rented, of course, not only has the function of setting up a stall, but also comes with a safety shield, which can protect the merchants and goods inside the crystal shell to the greatest extent.
In addition, colored lights will be provided near the crystal shell booth.
Apart from being beautiful and eye-catching from a distance, these colored lights do not have any other effect. However, when passers-by come closer, the colored lights will condense into various strange illusions.
For example, right in front of Angel, there was a domed pure white spar hut.
As soon as Angel and Laplace approached the spar hut, they saw the goose-yellow colored light around them condensed into the phantom of a rock creature. This black rock creature was shouting loudly at passers-by.
: "Gem gems, colored gems, star gems, mirror gems! Cheap and not expensive, buy gems and get gems for free!"
As long as someone comes close, he will shout repeatedly.
The details, movements, and sounds are completely unchanged.
There is no doubt that this is a set illusion, and its purpose is... to advertise.
Using illusions to advertise and attract customers may sound like nothing, but the Jingmu clan can have such an idea, and also implement universal operations so that anyone who rents a crystal shell can use it. This is very surprising.
incredible.
"This is the Rongshi tribe, but the creatures in the mirror prefer to call them destroyers." Perhaps seeing Angel staring at the rock creatures, Laplace explained the other's race.
Angel was not originally curious about the origin of the rock creature. The reason why he kept staring was purely because he was attracted by the "phantom advertisement".
However, when Laplace mentioned that the other party was called a "saboteur", Angel couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why is it called a saboteur?"
"The gems sold by the Rongshi Clan are actually found through their sensing talent and digging into the mirror space. Their digging will cause irreversible damage to the mirror space. Often, the mirror space that they have excavated will be destroyed soon.
Because the mirror light dissipates, they are also called destroyers."
The so-called destruction refers to the destruction of the mirror space.
"However, what they destroyed was basically empty mirror space. In addition, there are too many mirrors that are born and destroyed in the Mirror Realm every day, so their behavior is not excessive."
It's just that the name sounds a bit unpleasant, but in fact, the reputation of the Rongshi clan is much better than that of the Piluxiu and Changhuo clans.
Laplace: "But it is said that the Rongshi clan and the Ersi clan are not very good at dealing with each other."
The Rongshi clan destroys the mirror space, while the Ersi clan's talent is to consolidate and repair the mirror space. Judging from the talents and specialties, they are indeed somewhat contradictory.
But if there is no real hatred, I don’t know.
"Want to take a look?" Laplace asked, pointing to the gem hut opened by the Rongshi clan.
Angel thought for a moment and nodded.
Gemstones are a very commonly used special material in the Southern Region. They can be used in basically every field, including alchemy. There are many gemstones in Angel's bracelet.
He also wanted to see how the gems produced in the Mirror Realm were different from those in the outside world.
So, Angel and Laplace walked into the Gem Cottage.
But only three minutes later, they walked out silently.
It's not that these gems are bad, but that most of them are just ordinary gems, used in rituals or simple magic potions, and those gems that contain extraordinary power have all the energy inside them, which is aggregated energy.
Geer can't be used either.
So, after just one glance, Angel decided to leave.
After leaving the Gem Cottage, Angel continued to wander around while chatting with Laplace.
During this process, Angel saw a lot of interesting things. Although most of them were driven by polymer energy, even so, some of them made Angel very excited.
For example, Angel was in a mirror space and saw that it was full of plants.
Walking in is like entering a small rain forest.
These plants do not use soil and only need to absorb a small amount of polymerized energy to grow quickly. From ordinary flower seeds and tree seeds to magic plant seeds, they are all sold in this "rainforest shop".
Angel's heart is not moved by those magic plant seeds, but by ordinary plants... His idea is to use these plants to embellish the space in his heart.
There is no soil in the heart space. The only animal blood tree is made of special cultivation soil.
It is impossible to cover the entire heart space with cultivation soil and can only be used in a small area, so other plants cannot be planted. However, this kind of plant that only absorbs polymer energy and can grow without using soil is very suitable for the heart space.
However, I am still very excited, but not to the point where I have to buy it.
The most important thing is that Angel doesn’t have crystals on his body either...
Angel just wrote down the location of this rainforest shop, and if he has extra crystals in the future, he can buy some seeds.
In addition to this small rainforest store, Angel also remembered a few stores that he was interested in but had no need to buy at the moment.
…
When they walked out of another mirror, Laplace's eyes suddenly looked not far away.
Angel followed Laplace's line of sight, and through the crowded streets, he saw a familiar figure opposite... Luigi.
Luigi was standing in front of a stall at this time, talking to a man in black robe opposite.
Although he couldn't hear what Luigi was saying, Angel remembered that Luigi had gone to a store alone that was said to sell music scores. Could it be that this man in black robes sold music scores?
Anyway, the surroundings were pretty much gone. Angel thought for a while and walked in the direction of Luigi.
Before Angel and Laplace could approach, Luigi sensed it first and turned around to look over.
"Hey, why are you here..." Luigi paused mid-sentence and looked at Angel suspiciously: "You...could you be here to borrow money from me?"
"I... I can lend you ten crystals at most, and I won't have any more." Luigi originally wanted to say, 'I don't have any money to borrow,' but when he saw Laplace's cold gaze, he changed his mind.
mouth.
Angel had never thought of borrowing money at first, but seeing Luigi's stingy look, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Ten crystals will do, it's better than not getting one crystal at all."
Seeing that Angel really wanted to borrow money, Luigi frowned, but took out a small bag and handed it to Angel.
The small bag is quite bulging, and there must be more than ten crystals rattling inside.
"I'll give you a hundred crystals first..." Luigi muttered in a low voice, "No more, I really have no more."
Angel took the bag, but he didn't intend to actually use it. He just wanted to see Luigi embarrassed. However, Angel also knew that Luigi was not really stingy, but he was not sure about the price of the music score this time.
That's why it seems a bit fussy.
After Angel took the bag, he wanted to ask Luigi about buying music scores for Guitar, but before he could speak, a deep voice suddenly came from next to him.
"Are you a human? If you lack condensed crystals, the things I sell here can also accept magic crystals."
The person speaking was the man in black robe.
Before Angel arrived, Luigi was talking to the man in black robes.
His whole body was covered by a black robe, and he couldn't see his appearance or feel his breath, and he didn't know which race he was from. This kind of dress is also very common at parties, and not everyone likes to be exposed.
As for the black-robed man's stall...it is a very rare real street stall.
An unknown piece of velvet was spread on the ground, with some strange knick-knacks placed on it. After a quick glance, they were basically ordinary items. The only characteristic was that they were all physical objects with the aura of the material world.
In other words, these are by no means specialties of the Mirror Realm.
The Ancient Tooth Fairy sells more of this kind of physical objects. Moreover, most of the physical objects sold by the Ancient Tooth Fairy have extraordinary properties, but among the mortal objects sold by this man in black robes, there is a dusty harp...
...Perhaps this is what attracted Luigi to come.
In addition to harps, there are also some more mundane items for sale, including rain flower stones and cobblestones.
Even if this kind of stone is a real thing, it is still difficult for the creature in the mirror to take notice of it.
Perhaps it is because the things sold are so ordinary that they dare to set up street stalls in such a big way.
Angel looked at the man in black robe: "If I were really a human, do you think I would spend magic crystals to buy these things?"
In the Southern Territory, buying these things with gold coins would be a huge loss, let alone using magic crystals.
The man in black robe took a deep look at Angel: "Since I mentioned the magic crystal, naturally there are items that match the price of the magic crystal, but they are not displayed."
Angel: "For example?"
The man in black robe pointed to a gold-rimmed mirror not far away: "If you want to see something specific, we can go in and discuss it in detail."
Angel took a look at the mirror and found a very familiar symbol carved on it.
"Pippi Castle?"
Angel had seen this sign before when he went to the inner city of Pipi Castle. This means that the owner of this mirror should be Pilu Xiu.
Man in black robe: "Yes, it's Pilu Xiu's shop. However, I cooperated with the Pi Lu Xiu boss and rented a small area to display the goods. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Angel did not answer immediately, but asked doubtfully: "Since you have rented the goods area, why do you still set up a stall outside?"
Upon hearing this question, the man in black robe fell silent.
Luigi on the side said: "I know this, I asked about it just now. The reputation of that Piluxiu store is very bad. In the first half of the day, some people went in, but they all came out cursing. In the second half of the day, right now, there are already two
No one came in during the hour..."
In other words, even if the man in black robe rents a part of the area to store goods, if no one comes in, he can't sell it.
Therefore, he could only set up a street stall outside to represent himself and attract traffic along the way.
When Luigi said this, he turned to look at the man in black robe: "Don't you know Pilu Xiu's reputation?"
The man in black robe smiled bitterly: "So what if you know... I don't have enough condensed crystals, otherwise I wouldn't be greedy and rent a corner of that Pilu Xiu's shop."
Luigi spread his hands and did not continue to speak; while Angel raised his eyebrows. From his emotional perception, he confirmed that the so-called wry smile of the man in black robe just now was entirely an act.
Of course, this does not confirm that he lied, but the probability of lying is very high.
"Want to take a look?" The man in black robe continued to look at Angel.
Angel could sense that the man in black robe had a certain urgency in his mood, as if he was eager to do business with him?
Why is this?
Angel didn't say anything, but Luigi who was standing by said: "I'm going to take a look anyway. He just said that he has a very good piece of church music. I have to go and appreciate it."
Angel smiled: "Then let's go and see it together."
Angel didn't know what the man in black robe was up to, but with Laplace beside him, what did he have to be afraid of?
Hearing Angel's answer, the man in black robe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the stall was put away, and everything was put away under his black robe.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black robe reached out his hand and signaled: "Everyone, please."
…
Angel was the last one to enter the mirror. As soon as he entered, he heard a curse: "Run for me quickly. You must not stop until I tell you to stop, otherwise I will throw you into the pot and cook you!"
"Zhizhi——" a frightened cry, accompanied by the sound of running.
Angel looked up and saw that the mirror space was filled with machinery and gears. A short green-skinned Lu Xiu was standing on the glass cabinet, holding a small whip and pointing at a roller.
The hamster cursed loudly.
The fat hamster was frightened and ran very fast in the drum. As it ran, the mechanical gear connected to the drum began to rotate slowly.
There are at least dozens of interlocking chains on the entire wall, and hundreds of gears. This hamster can be called a real "load-bearing".
While Angel was observing the hamster, Pilu Xiu also saw customers coming into the store. He immediately put on a lewd smile and wanted to welcome the customers, but when he saw Angel and others following the man in black robe, Pi Luxiu
Lu Xiu's expression immediately fell.
"Your guest?" Pilu Xiu asked with his bald brows furrowed.
The man in black robe nodded.
Pilu Xiu rolled his eyes, turned his head and continued to threaten the poor hamster with his whip.
The man in black robe turned to look at Angel: "Don't pay attention to him, please come over here."
The man in black robe pointed to a small cubicle next to him that was covered by a curtain.
