Chapter 37 – Don-Pa Royal Treasure (4)
Archie mangosteen, “You want to know the prophecy about the fireworks festival, don't you?”
The client smiled, nodding slowly.
“Alright, young man. If you are curious to know what will happen at the fireworks festival which will be held twenty-nine days away, I will gladly foresee.”
The client's face beamed, waiting for Archie to divulge from the purple crystal ball. Archie raised his hands chest-high, “But it cost 1,000 pesos yes.”
The client reached into his pocket, giving him a small peso bag. Archie took it, handed it to me. “Please hump, my companion.”
Although I don't understand how anyone still believes the prophecy in broad daylight, but I don't take it for granted. I took the little bag, opened it, and counted the pesos in the little bag.
The coin value is not 1 peso per coin. Except 100 pesos per coin. It makes it easier for me to count. Judging from his coin which was worth 100 pesos, it meant that he was not a poor person. Especially if I see the clothes he wears. The clothes and pants were black, and the cloth was made of silk cloth. If you don't misjudge.
100...
200...
500...
700...
950...
1.000...
I immediately put the coin into his pocket as before. Archie. Hows it? Does fitting? Maybe that's what that meant. I'm nodding. Archie also nodded his head, returning a friendly smile to see his client.
Archie slightly coughed, raising both of his hands. The purple crystal ball was brightly lit. “Alright, young man. I'll predict the big things that will happen at the fireworks festival that will come soon.”
Waggos...
Waggos...
The crystal ball is glowing. Reflects the purple light. Accessories necklaces, rings, stars, and other accessories hanging around the room also reflect purple light.
Archie closed his eyes, muttering indistinctly. A few seconds later, his forehead shed a lot of sweat. The crystal ball was still brightly lit. The client clasped his hands together, praying.
Two minutes of tension. The crystal ball continued to shine, emitting a very bright, yet not dazzling light. Archie's forehead was increasingly sweaty, the robe he wore was also wet.
Waggos...
Waggos...
DUM! The purple crystal ball was cracked, the accessories hanging on the walls and ceiling of the room slightly cracked. Removing fine purple dust as well. It flew slowly towards the floor, as if I were looking at the beautiful stars in the night sky.
Archie snorted, his hand outstretched towards me. “Air, my companion.” Without being told twice, I immediately get the bottled water that he had bought before heading here.
Archie welcomed, immediately drinking. Three times sank, the bottle water ran out immediately. Just leave the bottle.
“How's Cake? Is there something at the festival?” The client wiped away the sweat, surprised when the crystal ball made an unexpected sound.
Archie cleared his throat, “Bad as hell, son. Bad one.”
“Worse why, Cake?”
“Because you paid the fee, I will explain,” Archie wiped the sweat on his temple. “Festival of fireworks... festival of fireworks.. festival of fireworks.. how do I explain it yes..”.
“Is there anything that is not pleasing, Kek?” Ask the client again. Ensuring.
The client nodded, “Of course. It's even in the history books. High tower that has not been used for hundreds of– is not, rather thousands of years ago.”
Archie nodded, “Truly, Son. The tower was only used to execute criminals who could no longer be called humans. And right at midnight, at 00:00, at the height of the festivities of the festival, it was precisely the beginning of chaos.”
“How can? The fireworks festival is of course just a festival.” I reflexively asked.
Archie did not nod, nor did he shake his head, “I do not know exactly what happened that made the festival chaotic. But clearly I saw someone executed in that tower. And it's something that's never happened before so far.”
Clients pay attention. “That's it, young man. I can't explain it further, because that's all I see.”
The radiant face of the client was extinguished. “Oh just like that yeah. Thanks.” The client moved from his seat, waving his hand. Then re-revealed the curtains of the room. Cring Cring! The sound of bells in front of the door was heard.
Eh? Wait for. “Preview was serious?” I'm ascertaining.
Archie waved his hand, moving from his seat. “Of course not, man. Let's hurry, close this place. That was pretty draining my energy.”
Archie stretched his body, looking. “Wait for what else, Mr. A'S? Fast!”

The second day, the third day, was the same. I only used Archie as his assistant. Morning watering the plants, afternoon being a fortune teller, sorenya go home. Change clothes, then go again to the city center to sell food ingredients such as vegetables, fruit, and other spices.
“Why don't my trades sell, Alan?” Archie who sat cross-legged looked up.
I smiled patting my forehead, “Yes obviously not sell well. You put a very expensive price just for the size of a red onion. 100 grams of red onion you put the price of 100 pesos? Where anyone would want to buy it if it's like that.”
I don't know if he's 22? Or is it just a joke. “Hm? Expensive? Not that the spice is expensive huh?”
“Who says it's expensive? 100 Grams of shallots should be priced at 10 pesos. But in my opinion, if you put the price of 20 to 30 pesos can also.” I'm sitting down. Be cross-legged.
“Lho? Why could that be? Make people dizzy.” Archie scratched his wavy hair.
Huh... exhale Adrian.. throw away.. exhale again...
I embrace his shoulder, “See,” Appoints other traders who sell similar things. “Listen. What price are they putting?”
Archie looked, paying close attention. “12 pesos, per 100 grams, Alan.”
“Quickly once.” Then point to the other side. Buyers came to the place. “You heard the price, Archie?”
“18 pesos per 100 grams.” The answer.
“Quickly once.” I looked at his face deeply. “And do you already know the difference of the two traders?” Archie nodded. His face was more like a confused person.
Archie pointed out, “The first one, the two outlets were different. One is shabby, the other is good.” I nodded, “Seternally?”
“Then the seller of one shabby uncle. The other is a beautiful woman.” I patted the forehead. This is beyond expeditions, expeditions, and other ex-exes.
“Not it! Quality, Archie! Quality! The quality of materials in outlets one and two is clearly different. The second stall of the onion is better than the first stall. Hence they put the price a little higher.”
“Then, our booth has a better onion than having two outlets. But because you put a price of 100 pesos, so our sales do not sell-laku.”
Archie's been slow. Only “Oh”? That only?
So the next day Archie put up a new plan, making the market in an uproar with the news...
