Loritz Pavilion. Ethan frowned when he saw these two words. He felt as if he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
Seeing that the Little Witch had disappeared, Ethan quickly followed her. However, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why did Little Witch suddenly come here?
Loritz Pavilion was bustling with activity, and as soon as Ethan stepped inside, he was captivated by the myriad of things displayed.
"I remember now. Loritz Pavilion is the headquarters of Loritz Trading Guild, one of the three major trading guilds in the Battle Soul Continent," Ethan suddenly had a flash of insight, recalling something. His face showed a surprised expression.
There were three major trading guilds in Battle Soul Continent, namely Loritz Trading Guild, Boundless Trading Guild, and Nine Skies Trading Guild. Loritz Trading Guild had always been ranked first. You can imagine how powerful Loritz Trading Guild was.
It was worth noting that these trading guilds were not only limited to the Ysleve Dynasty but were spread throughout the entire Battle Soul Continent.
In the distance, the Little Witch was communicating with a young man in white. This surprised Ethan. Did Little Witch have some connection with Loritz Trading Guild?
The young man in white was handsome and exuded an aura of nobility with every step he took. His eyes glanced at Ethan from time to time, which made Ethan feel a little uneasy.
Ethan did not walk over, but wandered around Loritz Pavilion. Although there were many things on display, not many caught Ethan’s interest.
After a while, Ethan's gaze stopped in front of a counter where a bunch of tender green spirit grass were displayed. These green spirit grass looked ordinary, but they shocked Ethan.
"There is actually a Star Spirit Grass here?" Ethan almost exclaimed. As a master of medicine in his previous life, he was very familiar with most of the spirit grass on the earth. He had seen many of them with his own eyes, and this kind of Star Spirit Grass was one of the few spiritual grasses he had never seen before.
Ethan accidentally obtained an ancient prescription and knew the function of Star Spirit Grass very well. When Star Spirit Grass was combined with other medicines and refined into liquid or pills, it can repair any scars on the body.
Ethan once wanted to find the Star Spirit Grass and make it into a scar removal beauty product, but later he stopped because the Star Spirit Grass was extinct.
"Sir, do you want to buy this Star Spirit Grass?" A beautiful waitress came over and looked at Ethan with a smile.
Ethan was surprised. Was the Star Spirit Grass also called Star Spirit Grass in Battle Soul Continent?
"How much does it cost??"Ethan calmed down. In his current life, he was no longer interested in Star Spirit Grass and was only driven by a desire for power.
However, he had never personally verified the medicinal properties of Star Spirit Grass in his previous life, which made him feel a sense of regret in his heart. If Star Spirit Grass was not expensive, it would not be a bad idea to buy a few to study.
"One hundred low-grade soul stones per plant and the price is non-negotiable. These other herbs are all second-grade grasses, priced at one hundred low-grade Soul Stones per plant as well." The beautiful waitress said with a smile and recommended several other herbs to Ethan.
One hundred low-grade soul stones? Ethan stroked his chin. A second-ranked early-stage Soul Crystal is worth two hundred low-grade soul stones. The price was not too expensive. He could buy a few and study them carefully.
"Give me ten." Ethan took out ten middle-grade soul stones and placed them on the counter.
"Okay!" The beautiful waitress took the ten middle-grade soul stones with a smile. What Ethan didn't know was that one middle-grade soul stone could be exchanged for a hundred low-grade soul stones, but that was only under normal circumstances. Now, one premium middle-grade soul stones can be exchanged for one hundred and ten low-grade soul stones. From this business, the waitress made a hundred lower-grade soul stones in one go, which naturally made her very happy.
She quickly packed up the ten Star Spirit Grass and explained the specific breeding details to Ethan, and then reluctantly watched Ethan leave.
Half a cup of tea later Ethan bought about ten kinds of medicinal herbs, which were all used to refine the scar-removing beauty lotion.
"I wonder if scar-removing beauty lotion is easy to sell here.” Ethan thought in his mind. He wasn't someone who did things without reason. Whatever he did, he needed to have a purpose.
"You bastard, let's go." The Little Witch suddenly appeared and hugged Ethan's arm. The warmth of her touch spread through his arm, making Ethan feel uneasy.
"Zoey, it's rare to see you once, so there's no need to leave in such a hurry." The young man who had been talking to the Little Witch before came over. He was dressed in white, untouched by the mundane world, like an exiled immortal.
"No, my dear Ethan has been waiting for me for so long." The Little Witch smiled and rested her little head on Ethan’s shoulder.
My dear Ethan? Ethan cursed secretly in his heart. He could tell that this Little Witch wanted to use him as a shield.
"Zoey, why don't you introduce him to me?" The young man behaved gracefully and elegantly, showing a sense of nobility. He wasn't angry, instead, he smiled. However, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
"This is my dear Ethan." The Little Witch said with a smile, changing her usual demeanor to a gentle and charming, "Ethan, this is Justin Loris.”
Hearing the words 'my dear Ethan', Ethan felt goosebumps in his heart, but he remained calm on the outside and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Ethan Sigeweard."
"Justin Loris." Justin nodded, with a surge of arrogance in his eyes. He looked at Ethan with a face that refused to admit defeat and said, "You must take good care of Zoey, otherwise I will snatch her away from you at any time.”
"I hope you snatch her away." Ethan said without hesitation in his heart. Outwardly, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Seeing Ethan and Justin's looming and competing auras, the Little Witch quickly said: "Ethan, let's go."
Without waiting for Ethan to react, she directly took his arm and ran outside.
"Zoey, I will never give up." Justin quietly gritted his teeth as he watched Ethan and the Little Witch disappear.
The Little Witch held Ethan's hand and quickly shuttled through the crowd. Little Dold Lion followed closely behind the two of them. After a while, Ethan suddenly stopped, broke away from the Little Witch's hand, and said in a deep voice, “What's going on?"
"It's nothing, dear Ethan," The Little Witch cooed. Ethan shivered, feeling uncomfortable all over, and all his pores tightened.
"My little arms and legs are not enough to serve as a shield for you. You should find someone else. Little Dold Lion, go back to the inn." Ethan waved his hand, turned over and sat on Little Dold Lion's back, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
The Little Witch stomped her feet angrily, grinding her little tiger teeth and said, "You stinking rascal, damn rascal, what's wrong with being a shield for once? It's not like you will lose any arms or legs."
What she didn't know was that with Ethan's eyesight, he had already seen that Justin was extraordinary, and that kind of arrogance was not something ordinary people could possess.
Ethan would rather offend the Hudson Family than offend Justin. If Justin had any connection to the Loritz Trading Guild, he wouldn't even know how he died. After all, with his current strength, he was not qualified to touch the behemoth of Loritz Trading Guild.
Fortunately, Ethan had a pretty good impression of Justin, and he was not a sinister person.
"First, follow the ancient prescription to make a scar-removing beauty lotion. If it really works, then there's no need to worry about soul stones in the future," Ethan thought as he walked along the road, already having cast aside the events from earlier.
