Chapter 105: The Sunset and 1000 Gold Frost

Frostfall City, Yongle Street.

Passing through the dense crowd, the three of them—Yun Mu, Edward, and Lita—arrived at the deep corner of the street.

A wooden house, appearing exceptionally small compared to the surrounding buildings, appeared before them.

"It's the same as the last time I came; nothing has changed."

Yun Mu thought to herself as she observed the wooden house, which was exactly as it had been in her memory.

The last time she came here, she was still an ordinary person; now that she had become a Transcendental, she could actually perceive things that ordinary people could not detect.

For instance, right now, she could perceive a "thin film" shrouding the small house, which could only be seen in the world of the Ether Body.

It seemed that the existence of this thin film was precisely why ordinary people subconsciously ignored this place, and would not even have the thought of wanting to approach it.

However, this influence was not that strong; if someone's money fell in here, or if they were in a state of being hunted down.

Then this influence could still possibly be broken.

"An interesting Barrier spell," Lucy commented in Yun Mu's ear.

This is a Barrier? Hearing Lucy's words, Yun Mu couldn't help but take a few more looks with her Perception.

"Old man, is this the wooden house you were talking about?"

Lita curiously observed her surroundings, then extended her finger to lightly touch that thin film which could not be observed in the real world.

Clearly, she could also perceive the Barrier shrouding the small house.

"Did this building get a building permit from the City Hall?" Perhaps it was an occupational hazard, or perhaps it was pure curiosity, but Lita asked Edward.

"How would I know?" Hearing her question, even Edward was somewhat speechless.

"Oh."

Not having received the answer she wanted, Lita was not that disappointed.

In fact, it was just a whim, and she had just asked casually; she didn't care that much about the question itself.

If Edward didn't know, then so be it.

"Old Witch Clothing Store?"

The three walked toward the wooden house. As they approached the door, Lita looked at the store name written on the wooden plaque and remarked, "How could anyone come up with a store name like this?"

"Although I would also like to know the answer to that question, I'll kindly remind you to say a little less."

An abrupt voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.

"Hm?" Lita looked around in confusion.

"Who's talking?"

At this moment, Yun Mu also subconsciously scanned the surrounding environment; other than herself, Lita, and Edward, she did not discover the presence of a fourth person.

"Look at the door, at that plant that looks like a morning glory," Lucy reminded her at the right moment.

"On the door?"

Following Lucy's instruction, Yun Mu quickly discovered a plant on the door handle that looked like a morning glory, with its tail wrapped in a large amount of green vines.

"This thing is the one talking?"

Yun Mu looked at the plant on the door handle with some surprise.

Although this thing looked very much like a speaker, the fact that a plant could talk was still somewhat magical.

Oh, this world itself was very magical, so never mind.

"Oh my, I've actually been discovered."

The plant on the door handle moved, then settled on the wall to the upper left of the wooden door.

Setting aside its identity as a plant, it looked quite like an intercom.

"Stop playing around, Mira, it's me," Edward said suddenly at this moment.

"Hm?"

"This voice, are you Edward?"

The speaker—no, that plant shaped like a speaker—emitted a surprised sound after hearing Edward's words.

Damn, it really is an intercom! Hearing the words transmitted from the plant, Yun Mu thought to herself.

Just a moment ago, she had naively thought that Mira had really cultivated a plant that could talk, specifically for watching the shop.

She hadn't expected that this thing was just a speaking tube, and the person on the other end was just teasing them! However, this thing seemed to only be able to transmit sound, and could not transmit images.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have waited until Edward spoke to know that Edward was standing outside the door.

"You guys come in. Honestly, I was planning to test the effects of the new plant a bit more."

Mira's somewhat complaining voice rang out from the plant.

The next second.

With a soft 'Click!', the wooden door of the Old Witch Clothing Store opened automatically.

Yun Mu looked at the scene before her with some novelty.

It hadn't been like this when she came last time; back then, she had given it a casual push, and the door had opened.

Could it be that in the time since she left, Mira had specially designed this to go with the sound-transmitting plant on the door? Without time to think more, the three walked into the Old Witch Clothing Store, and Yun Mu saw at a glance Mira, whose attire had not changed at all since they last met.

The other party first glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Edward, and said in a tone that seemed somewhat unfriendly: "Isn't this the Captain of the Sunset? What wind blew you here?"

"Heh heh." Edward chuckled, raised his hands, and sat on the chair in front of Mira's counter, saying:

"Don't mock me; the Sunset has already been sunken at the bottom of the sea for nearly twenty years."

"For us Elves, twenty years is but an instant," Mira said, tilting her head slightly and resting one hand behind her cheek.

"Furthermore—"

She glanced at Yun Mu and Lita, paused, and ultimately did not say the rest of her words.

"Forget it." She shook her head and said, "Speak, what is it you've come to find me for today?"

What do you mean "what's more"?

Damn it, why do you always stop halfway through a sentence! Don't you know that's infuriating?

Standing behind Edward, Yun Mu listened to the two of them talking and was nearly dying of impatience.

If she was like this, there was no need to even mention Lita.

The moment the words "Sunset" appeared, she had been on high alert, and yet, after just that one sentence, there was nothing more?

Riddlers, get out of Frostfall City! "This is my daughter, Lita," Edward said, beckoning to Lita.

"Lita Sisilaiya."

After Lita walked to his side, Edward ruffled her hair and said.

"Dad!"

Breaking free from Edward's palm, Lita's face turned slightly red.

How old was she now? Why did he always ruffle her hair? There were people watching nearby, and besides, her hair was all messed up! "Hahaha, sorry, I'm used to it." After an apology without the slightest bit of remorse, Edward looked at Mira.

"You've seen the situation; Lita is now a Transcendental as well, and I would like to order a set from you..."

"1000 Gold Frost coins." Before Edward could finish his sentence, Mira interrupted him first.

How, how much!? Standing to the side watching, Yun Mu, who felt a bit out of place, immediately perked up upon hearing Mira's words.

She subconsciously touched her own wallet.

"Fine." Edward agreed without even blinking! Judging by his expression, he seemed quite satisfied with this price.

Is running a cafe really that profitable!? PS: Chef Edward's skills are no joke; Sisilaiya Cafe is quite famous on Liuli Street.

Of course, we won't talk about that today; let's reveal a little information regarding the Sunset.

The Sunset was the ship Edward used when he was young, adventuring across the Shattered Star Sea.

It was 58.66 meters long, 45.3 meters high, and 10.88 meters wide, equipped with 22 sets of sails, 42 side-mounted cannons, three bow cannons, and two Whirl cannons.

Most importantly, this ship was actually a powerful ghost ship.

However, more than twenty years ago, this ship sank to the depths of the sea because of the Legendary creature of the Shattered Star Sea, the Sea Dragon King.
