Not long after.

Carl came to the stall again.

"A total of six soul powders, twelve black stones, uncle, you just need to give ten." Aya rubbed her hands, her face flushed.

Ten black stones is already the largest single transaction she has made since she set up the stall.

After deducting the cost of purchasing soul powder from other people, she can earn nearly three black stones.

"Six?" Carl frowned slightly, squatted down to check the powder, and his tone was slightly unhappy:

"Only these?"

For the sake of the deceased stall owner Cologne, he gave the other party enough time to collect soul powder, but there were only six, far from the goal in his mind.

"Uncle..." Aya's face turned pale, and then gritted her teeth and said:

"I am not capable, but if you give me some more time, I will definitely collect more soul powder."

"I guarantee it with my life!"

Carl looked up.

The other party did not make excuses for his lack of collection, but directly admitted that he was not capable enough.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If it were someone else, they would probably say that they have tried their best, that other people don't have soul powder, etc.

"One day."

Standing up, Carl said slowly:

"Give you one day, how much soul powder can you collect?"

"One day?" Aya lowered her head, thought for a while and replied:

"Twenty copies!"

"At least twenty copies, if uncle is willing to lend me the capital, I can collect thirty copies."

"Okay." Carl nodded:

"Just twenty copies, I will come again at this time tomorrow, I hope you can collect as you said."

As he said, he took out the ten black stones he exchanged and handed them over.

As for lending the other party the capital...

He had no such plan, and being willing to continue business with the other party was Carl's greatest kindness at the moment.

"Thank you, uncle."

Taking the black stone with an excited face, Aya patted her shriveled chest desperately:

"Tomorrow, I will definitely collect all the soul powder."

Carl did not respond, turned around and left. No matter how much he said at this time, it would not be as good as having enough by then.

He also needed to raise supplies.

Twenty portions of soul powder require forty black stones, and if you exchange them for bread and pickled meat, you need at least a cart.

One trip is definitely not enough.

After returning to Signo City, he called a carriage to go to the market and wholesaled a cart of bread and pickled meat and rushed back.

At the same time, with the help of the fragments of the divine domain, they were sent to Black City in batches and hidden.

"Huh?"

Carl's face was stiff.

After returning to Signo City after many times of crossing, he suddenly found that he could no longer enter the fragments of the divine domain.

This made him a little flustered.

The fragments of the divine domain and the other world are his biggest trump cards since crossing, but now they can't be used?

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, a sense came from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

It's not that it can't be used.

It's that crossing multiple times in a short period of time is also very strenuous for the fragments of the divine domain, and it needs time to rest.

At least it can't be used within a day.

"It's good as long as it works, it's good as long as it works."

Karl breathed a sigh of relief:

"I didn't expect there is such a restriction. Fortunately, it's not an emergency, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

If it doesn't work in one day, then wait for another day, but it's definitely too late to catch up with the time agreed with Aya.

The next day.

Karl appeared in the Laka market.

"Uncle!"

The moment she saw his figure, Aya was ecstatic and stood up from the ground:

"You're here."

She didn't ask why Karl broke the appointment yesterday, and she didn't complain on her face, as enthusiastic as ever.

"Sorry."

Karl bowed his head slightly:

"I was delayed yesterday and couldn't come."

"It's okay." Aya waved her hand, with a generous face:

"I believe in uncle, if there is no other way, I will definitely not break the appointment."

"Uncle, you came at the right time, I went to a few more stores yesterday and purchased a total of 32 soul powders."

"32?"Karl's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze paused on Aya's arms that were exposed when she waved her hands.

The slender arm was covered with scars.

"Aya."

"Yes."

"Do you want black stone or food?" Carl said slowly:

"I have a batch of bread, bacon and some milk in the city, which can be sold to you at a low price."

"But you need to go with me."

"Bread, bacon, milk?" Aya swallowed subconsciously, and her eyes showed hesitation.

Compared with black stone, these things are more cost-effective in the market.

And if they are sold cheaply as Carl said, she can make another profit by reselling them.

"Uncle." Aya's eyes flashed:

"Please wait."

She wrapped the things on the stall with a bag, put them on her back, turned around and ran to the back.

Somewhere in ruins.

"We want black stones!"

A tall and strong man with a very childish voice said:

"Sister, black stones are ready-made. He dare not play tricks in the market. Who knows what we will encounter if we go out with him?"

"Xiao Nan is right." A hoarse voice followed:

"It is better to earn money steadily than anything else. There is no shortage of murder and robbery in Black City."

"But..." Aya struggled:

"The winter month is coming soon. If we don't have enough supplies, it will be difficult for us to survive. And I have been in the market for so long, and the money I earned is not enough to pay for the stall fee. This is an opportunity."

"Do you know him?" In the darkness, a shaky old man came out and asked:

"Do you know who he is?"

"Why can he get a lot of food? Why do you trust him? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

The old man asked questions again and again, pressing forward step by step.

"I don't know what he is like." Aya shook her head and said seriously:

"But Uncle Cologne once said that this person can always get good things that others can't get, and his identity is very mysterious. This kind of person should not be short of money, and there is nothing in me that is worthy of his attention."

"In case..." The old man paused and said with the crutch in his hand:

"What if?"

"I want to give it a try." Aya's eyes were fixed:

"If he really has a lot of food on his hands, I can climb on his line, and there will be a lot of benefits in the future."

"If you are fooled..."

"That means I lost the bet, and I am willing to admit defeat!"

"You..." the old man said angrily:

"You shouldn't have been allowed to buy Cologne's stall in the first place. You can live safely with your mining skills."

"Alive?" Aya looked bitter:

"It's just alive."

"What's the difference between mining day and night and being a beast? I don't want to be a beast for the rest of my life."

"Sister." The tall young man stepped forward and said:

"I'll go with you."

Karl didn't wait long before Aya returned again, accompanied by a big man who wrapped herself tightly.

"Uncle."

Aya smiled:

"If there was a lot of food, I might not be able to carry it all by myself, so I found a companion."

"Um."

Karl nodded slowly.

It was normal for the other party to be cautious, and he did not feel threatened by the big man.

"Let's go!"

Turn around and motion for the other person to follow.

There are still 'snowflakes' in the city, the black snow is accumulating thicker and thicker on the ground, and sparse and scattered footprints can be seen on the road.

Not long after.

"Right inside."

Karl winked at the wooden house ahead.

Aya was about to step forward when she was blocked by the strong man beside her. Then the strong man cautiously came to the door of the wooden house.

"Squeak..."

The wooden door opens.

Mountains of bread, meat sticks, and buckets of fresh milk came into view, and the strong man froze in place.

Aya's body tensed up. Although there was no expression on her face, the nails on her hands had dug into the flesh and blood was oozing out. She was completely unaware of the pain.

real!

The other party really has the means to get a lot of food!

Karl's expression remained unchanged. Whether it was to facilitate transactions or future development, he needed an agent here, and Aya, who had no background, was just right.
