"It's a pity that the guy who came up with the title didn't go to work at UC." Irene couldn't help but sigh. With her powerful mental strength now, it only took a blink of an eye to roughly read the contents of the newspaper.

After confirming that there was no useful information, Irene put the newspaper into the storage ring and looked around. After seeing that no one noticed her, her eyes quickly locked on Kailuo who ran not far away and was still selling.

She really wanted to know what had happened in these years.

In Irene's view, this little girl who had met once was a good breakthrough.

So she walked behind Kailuo slowly and stretched out her hand to gently pat the girl's shoulder.

But she didn't expect that this sudden slap scared the other party.

I saw Kailuo's body trembled and shuddered. The newspaper in her hand almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, with the previous experience, her little hand reacted quickly this time and clenched it tightly immediately, which prevented the newspaper from repeating the same mistake just now.

She turned her head with some fear, and saw from the corner of her eyes that it was the big sister who helped her pick up the newspaper just now. She turned around quickly, her two small hands grasped the edge of the newspaper nervously, and asked in a low voice with some helplessness: "Big... Big sister... Do you... Do you have anything else to do?"

In the traditional concept that Kailuo had not yet completely corrected, the other party was a noble magician, and she was a "lowly person" in a different world.

She was very afraid that this magician would make trouble for her because of what happened just now.

When she was in the human kingdom, she saw more than once that someone was seriously injured or even killed on the spot by a terrible spell because he accidentally provoked and collided with the magician.

Although she rarely saw such a situation after coming to the Black Dragon Empire.

There are black knights who are responsible for patrolling here. Once a fight occurs in a public place, they will always rush to the scene as soon as possible and quickly subdue the perpetrator in a short time.

But Kailuo still felt a little nervous.

The thin little body shuddered involuntarily at this moment, and subconsciously took a half step back.

"Don't be afraid, little sister." Irene raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile like a big sister next door, reached out and touched Kailuo's head, and said, "I have no ill intentions."

As she spoke, she stretched out her other hand, and in her palm, there was a glittering golden coin.

Kailuo looked at the coin in Irene's hand, and the dazzling luster of the gold coin was reflected in her small eyes.

This was the first time she saw the gold coin so close. In the past, she didn't even dare to think about the appearance of the gold coin.

Now that she saw it, she felt that the pattern on the gold coin was so beautiful and so eye-catching.

But she quickly reacted and realized that she was a little rude. She quickly moved her eyes away from the gold coin, shook her head gently, and broke free from Irene's restraints.

She raised her head and mustered up her courage, and raised the newspapers held in her two little hands: "Look, I still need to sell newspapers. If you are okay... I... I..."

Her voice gradually became weaker. For some reason, looking at Irene's eyes, the courage she had just mustered up disappeared in an instant.

Irene found this scene a little funny. She handed the gold coin forward and said with a smile: "I want all your newspapers. Is one gold coin enough?"

"....Ah?!"

Kailolo was startled, and after reacting, he quickly shook his head like a rattle, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"No, no, no..."

"Oh?" Irene frowned slightly, pretending to be slightly angry. "Greedy little guy, isn't one gold coin enough?"

"No, no, no... No!" Kailuo stopped shaking his head, with an anxious look on his face. After trying to calm his pounding heart, he couldn't help but look at the gold coin in Irene's hand for a second time, then firmly moved his eyes away and looked up at Irene: "... This is too much!"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and used her little hands to pick up the newspaper and counted it, then bit her lips and thought for a while, as if she was a little hesitant. After hesitating for a while, she raised her head and said firmly: "There are a total of twenty-one newspapers, just give twenty copper thumbs."

Kailuo's voice had just fallen, and she felt a lightness in her hand. When she looked down, she found that the newspaper in her hand had disappeared at some point. When she opened her hand, she found a heavy gold coin instead.

She looked up a little helplessly, and saw that the newspaper had run into the other party's hand at some point. As the storage ring between Irene's fingers flashed a faint light, the newspaper had disappeared.

SoA wave of forced buying and selling really made Kailuo, a child who had never experienced the world, unable to handle it.

She had never received such a large amount of money since she was born, and now she felt that this gold coin was so hot.

"Don't be nervous, little guy." Irene showed a smile of success, like a devil escaping from the hell of Baator, and bewitched: "This gold coin is not just for buying your newspaper...oh."

Hearing this, Kailuo's eyes widened slightly. She wanted to refuse, but she had no chance.

Irene had taken her little hand very familiarly at some point, and was walking slowly towards a tavern called Delusion Township not far away.

She whispered: "As a magician, I have been obsessed with studying magic for decades and have not gone out. Now I have gained something in magic and want to go out to see it, but I didn't expect that the outside world has changed so much."

As she said, Irene pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and glanced at it. The interior of the tavern seemed to have not changed much in the past fifty years.

He found a seat by the window and sat down casually, then motioned for Kailuo Luo to sit down as well.

At this time, the owner of the tavern came over with a drink menu.

He squinted slightly, with a professional smile, and he didn't look as young as he did fifty years ago.

Although the store hasn't changed much, mortals can't resist the erosion of time after all.

Now the owner is no longer as handsome as he used to be, with wrinkles on his forehead left by the years, and a black and white uniform with white hair, which gives him a different temperament.

When handing Irene the drink menu, the owner of the tavern seemed to have noticed something, and his slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened, raising the wrinkles on his forehead high, looking at the girl in front of him with an unbelievable look.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Irene making a shushing gesture, he quickly pretended that nothing had happened, but was just more respectful.

After taking the drinks menu and ordering a bottle of water of life for herself and a cup of coffee for Kailuo, Irene waved the boss away and looked out the window at the street that had changed a lot compared to fifty years ago. She said with some nostalgia:

"Time flies so fast..."

Then she retracted her gaze and looked at Kailuo, who was sitting on the chair with a nervous face and lowered his head and dared not speak, and said:

"Tell me what happened in these years, um... Let's start from fifty years ago. Tell me as much as you know. The gold coin is the payment for these news."
