Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 140 The Old Salesman

The next day…

Liu Yang, Sarina, and Mia went to the city market-place, the three were wearing black robes. Liu Yang did not want the two women to attract the attention of others on the street, especially Sarina. After regaining her powers and original appearance, she became a mature and sensual woman, any man would be captivated by her.

Liu Yang's goal was to buy some important things before setting out on a desert journey. Liu Yang did not want to buy things at the store because they were more expensive.

The city market-place was on the south side, the place was full of simple stalls with many types of strange items that people found in the desert. Many of the sellers were mages, but they were not very powerful.

The city government left these mages in the city to be eventual fighters during the desert beast invasions. Because of this, they had the right to sell their things at reduced fees if compared to the stores in town.

Sarina was already used to seeing this type of scene, while Mia rarely left the area near her home, she never saw this type of scene.

The place was full of people of all kinds, rich and poor, they sold and bought things. Desert beast meat, artifacts, weapons, food and many other types of things that can be sold in the city, even slaves, but this type of sale can only be done in hidden locations.

Sellers were shouting to advertise their products.

The medium cities were different from the small cities, they had to preserve their image before the big cities and the government of the country. Despite following the rules of the desert, they still need to maintain a serious and respectable image.

In the eyes of big cities, having slaves was a horrible and inhumane thing. But that was just the way of speaking, many great families that control the union had slaves.

"Young master, what are we looking for here? There are a lot of cool things here "

"I'm looking for some things for you, Mia."

"Young master, you don't have to buy anything for me. I cannot use any kind of magic equipment "

"It is not magic equipment that I want to buy. I'm looking for something else "

"What kind of thing?" Sarina and Mia were curious to know what Liu Yang would buy for Mia.

"You will see when we find what I am looking for. Follow me closely, don't get lost "

"Yes, young master"

…

After looking through the tents, Liu Yang saw many useless things for him. The vast majority of items on the site were rank 1 and rank 2 beasts, it was very rare to have something rank 3 beasts.

The walk stopped only when a voice echoed in Liu Yang's mind.

(Master, I found something that may interest the master) Little One's voice echoed in Liu Yang's mind. She could only speak to him, but she could not leave the special s.p.a.ce of the contract creatures.

It was Little One who helped Liu Yang during Sarina's treatment, she could already talk to him in those days. Liu Yang's journey through the desert helped him regain his connection with Little One.

(All right, show the way)

(Master, go ahead. Something is interesting for the master)

The place that Liu Yang was in was an old and shabby shack, the clothes were already torn and dusty. The owner of the store was an elderly man with thin white hair, he seemed to be sleeping and snoring. But he was not as simple as he looked.

The things the old man was selling seemed to be very common at first. But it was not as simple as it seems. If Little One said it was interesting, those things were interesting.

(This old man is a Great Mage !!!!!) Liu Yang felt the old man's powers, others couldn't do that. But he did it.

"h.e.l.lo ..." Liu Yang felt in the chair in front of the tent. The chair was put in by the old man.

Hearing Liu Yang's words, the old man didn't even move, he continued to sleep.

"Young master, are you looking to buy something from that old man?" Mia didn't know how to see the rarity of things. So it was asked.

"This old man has good things. But a lot of people fail to notice that "Liu Yang spoke in a low voice. Sarina and Mia were beside Liu Yang waiting for him.

"It seems that fate has brought us together again" An arrogant voice was heard.

Looking at the source of the voice, everyone can see a group of young people wearing light, leather clothing. They were the group of young masters that Liu Yang met a few days ago.

The arrival of the group brought everyone's attention. They were curious as to why the group of young people appeared.

"Dear guest, don't you think it is better to go to another tent? This old man is always asleep and never attended to his customers, moreover, his items seem very poor and ordinary. " The young man already knew the old man.

The items the old man sold were just ordinary looking things. A sword broke into two pieces, an old and non-functional compa.s.s, a gla.s.s bottle with a drop of some kind of red liquid inside and black stone. These items looked like ordinary things that anyone can find anywhere.

The old man did not wake up to the young man's mean comments.

"If I were you, I would remove those words. He's not someone you can handle "Liu Yang didn't care much about the group, but he still gave the warning. For he did not want to see a ma.s.sacre in the city.

"Dear guest, he is just an old man who has been in the same place for several years. He never moved or did anything, someone might even have stolen his things without him knowing it. "No one at the scene believed Liu Yang's words. For none of them could see through the old man and they thought he was just an ordinary person.

Sarina and Mia looked at the old man curiously, especially Sarina. She had already realized that Liu Yang was an extraordinary person, for him to say that the old man is someone that the young man cannot deal with, the old man must be very powerful.

Mia didn't understand the issues of cultivation and magic, so she just thought the old man was strong.

"Old man, I want to buy your items. Can you tell me a little about them? " Liu Yang ignored the young man and faced the old man.

The old man continued to sleep and did not hear Liu Yang's words, but he did not care, he continued to sit in the chair waiting.

"Dear guest, do you see? He's just some old man, he must be deaf or he's pretending he doesn't hear us "The young man was getting irritated by this. The old man was ignoring him, while Liu Yang seemed to be doing the same thing.

"Guys, I want you to clean this tent. Our city doesn't need someone like that old man "

"Yes, boss !!"

"Santino, I think you better not do this. This can be dangerous "Another young man spoke up. Before, they were letting the young man named Santino speak. But after seeing their action, some of them decided to intervene.

"Juan, are you afraid of this old man?" Santino did not like to be interrupted by the other young man.

"Is not it. I just think we should take his advice and ignore the old man. It can be very dangerous "

"Do you think so too? Do you also think that old is someone dangerous? " Santino asked the other young men.

"Yes. I think he is dangerous "A beautiful young woman with short hair and tan skin commented. She wore tight shorts.

"I think so too" Another young man commented.

"Santino, I think you're right. That old man must be some person "Another young man commented. He wanted to gain a good impression of Santino.

…

The group had seven young people, some agreed and others disagreed with Santino. In the end, he still did what he had ordered before.

"Guys, you can clean this tent," Santino ordered the guards who showed up.

"Yes"

The instant the guards were near to touch the old man's items. Something surprising happened.

The old man's eyelashes fluttered, his eyes were slowly opened.

"Ahhh!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!"

The four guards fell to the floor with their arms broken.

This scene surprised everyone in the place. When they looked at the old man, everyone saw that his eyes were open. But his gaze was like an icy mountain.

Santino and the young people who agreed with him started to feel cold in their spine. The old man's gaze was like two knives slicing through their bodies.

"I didn't mean to do that ... I'm sorry ..." Santino dropped to his knees on the floor. He was shaking with fear. This was the first time that he felt his life was threatened.

"Lord, forgive us !!!" The other young men also dropped to their knees and asked the old man's forgiveness.

He didn't care about the group and his gaze stayed on Liu Yang. Heavy pressure covered the entire area, those who were weaker suddenly pa.s.sed out.

While those who had some level of cultivation were experiencing headaches.

"This is bad. This old man is an expert at an advanced level. Who offended him? " An intermediate magician commented.

"It seems that those kneeling are the children of the city's rulers. They must have p.i.s.sed off the old man. "

"This is dangerous. If that old man wants to kill everyone in the city. He can do this easily "

…

The mage who endured the pressure began to comment on the matter.

"Old man, shouldn't you stop this? My two companions pa.s.sed out because of you. "Liu Yang held Sarina and Mia in his arms. Both pa.s.sed out from the pressure.

Liu Yang did not mind the small pressure imposed by the old man. The pressure was only an intermediate level.

"What you want?" The old man's voice was hoa.r.s.e and low. It looked like he was still sleepy.
