Ordinary humans couldn't sense the aura of a demon spirit, and those who could sense it were usually the descendants of contract knights. They would come to an agreement with dragons or high-level dragons and sign a contract. The demon spirit would flow back from the party with the demon spirit to the other party. This method was also used to awaken the intelligence of some irrational dragons. This was the only way for humans to use the demon spirit's ability without harm. Even so, the conditions for signing a contract were not achievable by ordinary people. For example, a contract could only be written by a creature with a demon spirit. Creatures with Demon Spirits had their own pride. Who would want to share their Demon Spirits with humans? However, this did not mean that there was no chance. The first Dragon Knight Contract was created and written by the Dragon Clan's leader. Then, other contracts appeared on the continent one after another. Not only that, but the Demon Spirit Bloodline was also hereditary. Therefore, families with Demon Spirit Bloodline were generally prosperous nobles. Therefore, there was no need to worry about them appearing in a small city like Discerning Moon City.
Even though he said so, Discerning Moon City was a little more law-abiding compared to Gu An Town and Ming Huan Village. Not only were the streets here orderly, there were no stall owners who occupied the place like in Gu An Town and Ming Huan Village, but every place that supplied goods and services was a specialized shop. It seemed that it had existed for a long time and was not built temporarily. There were not many people walking on the street. It was neither crowded nor desolate, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Fresh and warm sunlight shone down from the sky. It was invisible but real. This warm feeling made the people who came and went feel their best. Barno and Barca walked through the crowd, but not many people paid attention to them. Discerning Moon City was not like the main city, where everyone who entered had to obey a certain management, so there were many people who were like tourists and mercenaries. There were many people dressed in strange clothes, so who would care about a few ragged fellows appearing beside them?
Barno pulled Bacca along as they slowly walked down the street. Looking at the innocent smiles on the people's faces, he suddenly thought of the people of Ming Huan Village. Although he had lived in Ming Huan Village for several years, the only person he knew in the village was Ji (Uncle). According to Ji, some people in the village said that Barno was as unreasonable as his father. The two of them were like a piece of hard ice. In the past, he was proud of such an evaluation, but now, looking at the people coming and going, chatting and laughing, he could not help but say calmly in his heart,"Truly…enviable."
Bacca didn't think about these things at all. He was still waving his hands as usual, looking left and right, looking for something that could make his journey more enjoyable. At this time, he didn't hold the egg stone that he had been holding along the way, so he was very relaxed.
Before entering the city, Baron had taken the egg stone from Bacca and put it in the luggage he had roughly made. To be honest, he was not at ease with leaving such an important thing in Bacca's hands in the city. They had to try their best to avoid being seen and heard by others to ensure that no accidents would happen.
Barno led Bacca through the long street. Of course, this didn't mean that he didn't care about the things around him. On the contrary, his eyes wandered between the shops on both sides of the street. He had a lot of things to deal with, and he would not let go of any opportunity to advance towards his goal.
Just like now, they stopped in front of a shop with relatively simple decorations. The shop's plaque was simply written with the words "Pawnshop" in cursive script. There were quite a number of people in front of the shop, but not many, about five or six. The two people who were arguing with the shop owner in front were burly men. It was obvious that they were together. There were two things that looked like horns on the pawn table. The horns were wrapped in beast hide, and two ancient gray and bright red strings tied the horns and the hide together. The two horns, one big and one small, had unknown functions.
One of the two burly men, who was wearing coarse cloth and had bare arms, pointed at the two horns on the pawn table and an open money bag beside it and shouted at the shopkeeper,"This is something we risked our lives to get from the Mo Ruins, and you actually say it's only worth this little money?”
"Damn it, this is too much! Let's go to another pawn shop!" The other man, who had a long scar on his face and looked a little fierce, grabbed the two horns on the pawnshop. The other man who was with him snorted and left. The shopkeeper didn't have any intention of asking him to stay. He silently put away the money bag on the pawn counter and shouted outside the shop,"Next."
The next person to go up was a rather thin person. He was wearing a sand-yellow long coat, and on his back was a long rope tied to some slender tubes and a longbow. He slowly walked up to the shopkeeper and took out a long and thin greenish-gray tube from behind him and handed it to the shopkeeper. There was a tiny " thousand " word carved in ink on the body of the long tube. Baron noticed the symbol, but he did not understand the meaning of the word. The shopkeeper took a look and frowned slightly. He skillfully opened the side of the slender tube and took out a long piece of paper. There seemed to be something drawn on the paper. Baron's eyes narrowed. He couldn't see what was on the paper.
Baron saw the youth shake his head.
The shop owner sighed regretfully and said,""How much do you want?"
The young man waved his hand and said to the shop owner,"I'm only responsible for delivering this here and passing on a message.”
The shop owner's eyes flashed." What words?”
" He said…when you received this, he was already gone," the young man replied." This is what you deserve. Thank you."”After saying that, the young man left without looking back, leaving the shop owner alone to look at the slender tube with the word "thousand" engraved on it.
After a while, the shop owner recovered from his complicated emotions. He reached out his hand and shouted sternly to the people outside the shop,"That's all for today. Everyone else, please come back tomorrow!”Then, he walked out of the counter and prepared to close the door.
The customers who didn't pawn their items kept cursing, but they quickly dispersed. They didn't want to waste time here. Baron was also a little depressed. He had wanted to use the extra dragon hide to exchange for some money, but he did not expect such a strange thing to happen.
Barca followed Baron and looked helplessly at the pawnshop that was already closed. However, the scene in his mind had been frozen at the moment when the young man handed the slender tube to the shopkeeper." Why do I feel like I've seen that thing somewhere before?”Barca murmured.
Baron looked at the people gradually dispersing and shook his head helplessly. He said to Barca,""Let's go." He turned around and wanted to leave to see if there were any other shops that he could pawn. But Bacca didn't do anything, as if he was frozen in place.
Baron noticed Bacca's abnormality, and his heart was in turmoil." Bacca?”He called out tentatively.
"Ah!" Bacca responded, raising his head to look at the slightly worried Baron. "Ah ah, what's wrong?" Barca asked.
"Let's go." Seeing that Bacca was fine, Barno heaved a sigh of relief and continued to walk into the city.
"Ah, oh, okay!" Bacca replied. He looked back at the pawnshop again, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly and followed Baron's footsteps.
