Chapter 39
Palin has never been influenced by Chinese culture, so of course he would not have thoughts like Sui Xiong. But he is a devout believer and even if the requests of his own gods are not in line with his own wishes, he will obey them honestly.
So after the persuasion failed, he went to the friend to ask for the price and prepared to buy the exquisite enchanted dagger.
However, after asking about the price, even if he was as nervous as Sui Xiong, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his tentacles.
"This 'Ice Soul' is worth 70,000 gold coins." The weapon shop guy said lightly.
Palin widened his eyes, and even though he was a little mentally prepared, he was shocked by the terrifying high price.
After a while, he couldn't help asking: "It's just an enchanted dagger. Is it so expensive? I've seen high-end products, and tens of thousands of gold coins are enough!"
The guy sneered at him, too lazy to explain, so he just snorted with disdain, and wiped a sharp long knife across the diameter.
This kind of local bun that has never seen before on the market is like the skeletons in the Ashes Forest, which is constantly flowing. The store manager has ordered that a person who cannot see the true mystery of "Ice Soul" will not sell this weapon to him if he has money!
Palin was bored and wanted to ask a few more questions, but was embarrassed to lick his face and leaned over. He had to walk out of the weapons shop unhappily and planned to go to the hotel to stay in the hotel first.
But after only a few steps, he was stopped by a thin but well-dressed child next to him.
"This wise mage, do you want to buy something good? Please go to the 'Good Eyes' grocery store!"
Looking at the child's smiling expression and skillful sales style, he clearly waited outside the weapon store, specifically selling to the down-and-out adventurers who have been hurt.
"This mage, you didn't come to our Longho Town often before, did you?" the child said very well, "If someone familiar with Longho Town, he would definitely not go to the black store of the 'Dragon Slaying Sword'!"
Palin nodded immediately, feeling that the child was right. A mere enchanted dagger actually costs 70,000 gold coins. Why didn't they snatch it?
...No, I didn’t even get money as a profiteer! I robbed 70,000 gold coins, the Orc Wolf Knight Group robbed 5 years, but I only saved 50,000 gold coins!
In order to prepare for the Trail Blazer Village these days, they have entered Ruer's treasure house again.
Rhodes' skill in hand was no less than Rennes, and he didn't take much effort to remove all the traps along the way. In fact, although those traps were very dangerous and powerful, they were quite old and outdated. Rhodes even repackaged several of them with better quality and sold them in the grocery store of the Thieves Guild as antiques. The price was not low, and one of them had been sold in the past few days.
A total of 50,000 gold coins were collected in Ruhr's treasure house. The remaining antiques and magical items were either marked with distinct marks and were very dangerous and not suitable for sale. The former represented a set of exquisite jewelry. The light-winged angel badge symbolizing the royal family of the Holy Angel Kingdom made Rhode sweat in cold sweat. Especially when he carefully counted the number of angel wings on the badge, his face turned pale; the latter represented a very hard finger bone, surrounded by black magic energy. After seeing this, Satan was frightened several steps back and almost hit the stone wall and broke into blood.
Well, the former is the collection of the most extreme and most fighting royal family in the world today, and it belongs to a prince within three generations; the latter is the soul box of an evil lich. After it is killed, it will use this finger bone as the coordinates to return to the world.
If the former is exposed, the Holy Angel Kingdom will definitely send masters to the four northwest towns. Not only will it regain this set of jewelry, but it will also kill the despicable merchants who have defiled the honor of the great royal family. The latter is not afraid of exposure, but who knows when the lich will suddenly resurrect?
Although in terms of value, the jewelry and the soul box are far above 50,000 gold coins, as long as you haven't gone crazy, no one will think of selling them - of course, even if the seller goes crazy, he has to find a buyer who is also crazy and not afraid of death!
Although Palin came from a businessman family, he was far from being rich. In his opinion, 50,000 gold coins were already a dazzling huge sum. However, the haunted "Dragon Slaying Sword" weapon store actually priced a mere enchanted dagger of 70,000, and looked like "It's your loss if you don't buy it, I don't care about it", which really made him feel angry.
At this moment, when the child criticized the black shop, he suddenly felt that he had met a soulmate and kept expressing his agreement.
"The black store actually attracts people with a few fine enchanting weapons, such as the "Ice Soul" and the "Tree Elder"... but the prices are all inflated, at least several times more expensive." The child is obviously an expert, or at least the person who teaches him these words is an expert. "As for the 'Dragon Slaying Sword' hanging on the central pillar of the store... Haha, that's a joke! What can't a person who can use that knife to kill dragons? Or, strong people who can kill dragons will not like that broken sword!"
Palin, who had heard similar comments from Sui Xiong, grew up and finally understood why his Majesty was disdainful of the Dragon Slaying Sword, but was a little interested in the long dagger.
The god's vision is indeed not comparable to that of a mere mortal wizard!
"By the way, do you know? There is a story behind this knife." The child said with a smile, "Thirty years ago, the former mayor of this town was lucky and made a fortune. At that time, there was a famous cat beauty in the orc empire east of the Great Gobi Desert, and the beauty of singing and dancing was unparalleled in the world. He spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful gem, hoping to win the hearts of the beauty with this gem - what do you think of this idea?"
Palin thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not very reliable."
"Yes, it's not reliable at all! As a result, before he arrived at the Orc Empire, he was caught up by the tyrant of the cold in the Gobi Desert. At that time, he showed incredible courage and fought with the dragon for this gem..."
"Dead?" Palin asked.
"No. Killing this kind of idiot with brains on the sperm is detrimental to the majesty of the dragon, so the dragon sent him all the way back to the village, hanging it on a big tree, and a long strip of cloth was hung on it, which read 'This is the bravest pervert I have ever seen, and the weakest'."
Palin laughed loudly, laughing at the mayor's overestimation and amused by the humor of the dragon.
"After being rescued, the mayor asked someone to build this 'dragon-slaying sword' and claimed that as long as he was willing to go into the mountains to slay dragons, he would give it to him. As a result, you also saw that thirty years later, the mayor had changed two terms, and the knife was still hanging there."
The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the "Good Eyeli" grocery store. This grocery store is quite large, and it should have a long history in terms of the walls and storefronts. It can be called an old shop.
Laoss once taught Palin that he had only two choices to buy things in unfamiliar places: either a well-known big store or a long-standing old store. The former must have a wide range of ways and a sufficient source of goods, while the latter most of them pay attention to credibility and are worthy of cooperation.
As soon as he entered the door, the child smiled and shouted: "Axue! Axue! I'm looking for a customer for you again! There are no carrots in my soup tonight!"
"Children are not allowed to be picky about food, they will not grow tall!" A middle-aged woman said as she walked out of the inner room. Her facial features were quite upright. She thought she would probably be a beauty when she was young. She was a little fat and tall. She was really radiant when she walked, which made the floor under her feet moan vaguely.
Taking two steps at a time, the female boss, called "Axue", came to Palin, grabbed the child, picked it up and put it aside like catching a chicken, and then smiled and said to Palin: "This customer, our 'good eyesight' grocery store is an old store that has been running for almost forty years, specializing in selling all kinds of groceries, and many things left by senior adventurers, which can be called cheap and good quality. You will definitely not be disappointed when you come to our place!"
Palin shrank a little in fear. Although this aunt was just an ordinary person, she was really extraordinary. Especially the physical gap between the two sides was so huge that he felt insecure.
But he immediately reacted - he was a spellcaster! He was a mage! Even among adventurers, he was considered high-end, so why should he be afraid of an ordinary person?
So he stood up straight again, trying to show his aura as a mage. However, the dwarf was short in height, and the female boss named "Axue" was tall among humans. The height difference was nearly twice that made his efforts meaningless.
Boss Axue didn't care about the attitude of the little mage. She smiled and said, "This customer, what do you want to buy?"
"... Actually, I just took a look and didn't really want to buy anything."
"I understand! Then you really came to the right place - there are products in this store, you must be interested!" Boss Axue laughed and dragged out a large box almost as tall as Palin from behind the counter. The box was filled with all kinds of equipment, which was messy.
"These are all purchased from adventurers, and they have not been inspected or identified. Most of them should be garbage, but there must be good things that have not been discovered. Now, as long as ten gold coins are available, you can choose and take them away." Boss Axue said with a smile, "This is the specialty product of our store, whether it is profitable or loss, it depends entirely on your eyesight. However, everyone can only choose the same one."
Palin was stunned for a moment, looking at the box of messy equipment, frowned and asked, "Can I use identification spells?"
"Of course not! The so-called picking up a bargain means taking the school's eyesight." Boss Axue's answer was not unexpected, "If you use spells to identify it, it will lose its meaning!"
"Select the truly valuable things from a bunch of inconspicuous things. The happiness and satisfaction in them are the real treasures!"
