Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 34: Master and Disciple's One-Day Trip to the Imperial Capital (Part 2)

Why tomorrow?

Or--

Why does Celie want the child-like Volame to be with her so much?
Agushide didn't know the answer to this question, nor did he ask it out loud without being tactful.

He just walked slowly on the imperial street with colorful flags waving.

He followed the master and disciple shopping without saying a word, paying for their bills and carrying their bags.

Of course, no one recognized them.

The shops accepted his money because in their eyes the three men were just ordinary people.

This is all thanks to Celia.

Because Agusid and Volame are too famous in the imperial capital——

So in order to avoid being recognized at today's "Asberg" celebration, the two of them attended the event.

She used some magic unknown to Aguishid to cover the three of them.

Then he dragged "Little Volame" along aimlessly on the human streets.

In front of an ordinary antique stall in the festival market, Celie stopped there.

"Welcome, these are artifacts unearthed from the south. What are you interested in?"

"This necklace..."

"Oh, you have such a good eye, young lady! You found the best of my antiques so quickly..."

"how much is it?"

"Since you know your stuff, how about five Lasir gold coins? That's the fairest price."

"That's too expensive. How about this number?"

"Two... You're being too ruthless in bargaining like that... But I really can't do that. If it's this price, I'll be at a huge loss."

"How about one more?"

"...Ah... Considering that you are a true connoisseur of goods, it's not impossible. However, you don't know that this antique..."

Aguxid stood not far away——

Listening quietly to the conversation between the boss and Volame who was bargaining at Celie's signal.

He has no interest in shopping or window shopping, so he never participates in them.

He will only be needed at the final checkout.

It's always been like this.

As for why all the family money is under his control...

Then you have to ask about the junk that Volame bought at a high price in his study and bedroom.

"Agushid, come here."

Volame's voice brought Agusid back to his senses.

She waved to Aguishid in front of the antique stall, motioning him to come over first.

Then he turned around and continued bargaining with the boss under Celia's instructions.

"interesting……"

Agushide looked at the two people who were bargaining with smiles on their faces, and his heart was aroused with some interest.

Would a great magician who has survived from the mythological age also be interested in antiques?

How interesting... Is it an artifact from the Age of Gods or a relic from the early days of the Unified Empire?
Nine times out of ten - after all, Celie's taste shouldn't be that bad.

And she probably wouldn't even look at ordinary antiques.

No, no, no... not necessarily—

There are very few relics from those periods.

Most of them are also preserved in the ruins of the Age of Gods and ancient labyrinths.

The probability of appearing here is not high...

But it can be found in small stalls like this.

Even if it's just an antique from a few hundred years ago, it's still pretty good.

Art and antiques that have piqued Celia's interest in the past few hundred years—

Could it be the relic of the only elven queen in the history of the unified empire three hundred years ago?

Although it was still a little hard to believe, there was probably no other possibility. As he slowly approached, Agusid put these thoughts aside.

He was looking forward to seeing the antiques that Celie had personally selected.

etc--

When Aguishid walked up to the two of them, he picked up the necklace they had chosen.

The most powerful demon that has survived for five hundred years;

Agusid, who had witnessed the changes in the culture and art of the empire over the past three hundred years—

silent.

And it was dead silence.

He looked at Volame who was still bargaining with the boss.

And the one next to her who was showing a "confident" look,
Celie exuded the aura of "definitely making a profit".

“It’s a fake.”

Agushide paused for a moment and continued to explain the facts.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the crudely made necklace in his hand.

My fingertips rubbed across the uneven gold-plated surface, and the cold and hard touch of the metal was mixed with tiny rust particles.

"It's probably a replica of an antique style from the unified empire four hundred years ago."

Agushide slowly turned his head and looked past Volame who was arguing with the merchant.

Finally, it landed on Celie's slightly raised chin.

"And it's even more tattered than that fake vase Volame bought for my study."

After casting the spell, Aguishid spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"You're so long-winded... Do you think your judgment can be more accurate than mine?"

Celia glanced at Aguishid expressionlessly.

Her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she didn't turn her head.

Only a strand of hair stuck up from her golden hair trembled with the contempt in her nose.

"A mere five-hundred-year-old demon kid dares to question me...it's laughable."

But Agushid did not change his attitude and thoughts.

In fact, he became even more convinced.

Moreover, he should have realized long ago that no one in Celia's lineage was reliable.

Agusid looked at Celiai's righteous look.

Suddenly I remembered that the same thing happened to Volame three years ago.

When she rushed into the study holding high the "vase from two hundred years ago", her face was filled with the same determination -

Later it turned out that the vase was a casual creation of one of her disciples in his spare time.

Agusid rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

Then, a long sigh echoed in the ears of Celie and Volame.

"I thought that as a sage from the Age of Gods, you would have something profound to say about the culture and antiques of the Unified Empire—"

Aguishid picked up the necklace and hung it in the morning light.

The gray-black iron blank beneath the peeling plating was reflected in Volame's eyes as he turned his head.

"Or rather, I thought you could at least discern the gilding techniques of the early Unified Empire..."

Facing Celia, Agusid made no secret of his helplessness and contempt:

"But I didn't expect you to pick out a necklace that's not even tattered—"

"From what perspective do you consider it an antique?"
