The Taobao store is right next to the drawing shop. The store is also small, but the decoration style is the same as the drawing shop, which is very high-end.
In fact, the things sold in this Taobao store are messy, but in fact everything is of great value. There are sofas made by Cato Blaise Piller, and there are also magic arcana and martial arts books that are not known to be true or false. In addition,
Unknown gemstone balls, strange shields, so-called treasure maps, ape-man skeletons from ancient times, even leaf sawworm specimens suitable for personal collection, a leather coat worn by a certain archbishop, etc., bits and pieces.
, there are all kinds of strange things. In short, such shops are rarely seen in other places.
Yang Yan walked into this small Taobao store with a bit of curiosity. The two clerks in the store were explaining the things they were selling to customers. No one paid attention to him, so he had to look around alone.
After a while, two customers left, and then a clerk came to serve Yang Yan: "Sir, you must be dazzled, right? Haha, the things are a bit messy, please don't be offended."
The store is indeed quite messy, there are things everywhere, and it feels cramped to walk in the store.
Yang Yan said: "The things you sell here are quite strange."
The clerk smiled and said: "Whether it's strange or not depends on the customer. Things that customers like are treasures, and things that customers don't like are like weeds. For example, this leaf sawworm specimen is a monster hunter.
It took three months to bring it out of a primitive forest. For ordinary people, this little finger-sized ant insect is of little use, but for those enthusiasts who are interested in collecting insect specimens,
This little bug can be sold for 5,000 gold coins. So, if you think the things I sell here are strange, it’s just because there is nothing you want to buy here.”
Yang Yan chuckled: "This is quite interesting, but I'm not here to buy anything. I just want to take a look."
The clerk said: "All the customers who come to my store are just looking at it casually. It doesn't matter, just take your time and look at it. If you see something you are interested in, let me know."
"Um."
The clerk called his companion and went to the side to drink coffee together, regardless of the customers in the store.
In this store, all the goods are not priced. The specific price must be negotiated between the customer and the store owner. After all, these items are not commonly sold. The value depends on whether the customer needs it or not. It is impossible to have a fixed price.
"What is this?" Yang Yan picked up a metal statue-like object, about a foot long, with a gold rim and a silver base. It was also mixed with a black substance and was very heavy in his hand.
The clerk came over with coffee and said: "This seems to have been dug out of some tomb. I asked someone to identify it. It should be a cultural relic, but I don't know what it is specifically. The yellow thing on it is pure gold, and the white thing on it is pure gold."
It's pure silver, and the black one is a kind of mineral rock. I think it should be a shrine worshiped by a tribe in ancient times. If you want to buy this, I won't sell it without fifty or sixty thousand gold coins."
Yang Yan put the metal statue back in its place and went to look at something else.
The clerk saw that Yang Yan was looking at him very seriously, so he stayed with him wherever he went.
Yang Yan picked up another thick book with a green cover, opened it and read two pages. It looked like some kind of magic book.
The clerk said: "This book seems to be a magic arcana written by some scholar. I have read the contents and think it is quite profound. But if you are interested, you still have to be careful."
"Um?"
The clerk explained: "We have sold a lot of books like this here, and many of them are fake. They are books written randomly by magicians deliberately after the name of a famous scholar. The contents inside are all flashy, or they are not useful at all.
There is no such thing as rubbish.”
"How much will this cost?"
"Look, we are selling it for 200 gold coins now. If no one takes it for a long time, it is possible to sell it for 50 gold coins or just throw it away."
Yang Yan smiled: "You are quite honest."
"Integrity is very important when doing business. We clearly tell our customers that there are many fake products here, but there are also many real products. Whether you can buy good products depends on the customer's own eyesight and luck."
At this time, the other two customers also left, leaving Yang Yan as the only customer in the store.
The clerk said: "Sir, may I take the liberty of asking for your name?"
"Call me Penenope."
The clerk said: "Mr. Penenope, I think your temperament is very unusual, but you are not like the average pampered aristocratic son. Are you a soldier?"
Yang Yan smiled and said: "That's right, your vision is very accurate."
The clerk said: "I have some things here that may interest you, would you like to take a look?"
"Um."
The clerk took Yang Yan to a corner of the store and said: "These are equipment used by generals from all over the world, sabers and the like, as well as some tactical military books and the like."
Yang Yan looked at them one by one and nodded: "These are all good things. This golden double-edged saber should still be a treasure."
The clerk smiled and said: "Oh, yes, this saber is a sword used by a famous general of Geratias Kingdom. The appraiser said that the power contained in this sword is very good. Do you like it?"
Yang Yan shook his head: "I quite like knives, but I'm not very used to them."
"That's right, it doesn't matter. If the knife doesn't like it, there are other things."
Yang Yan looked around and saw a turf roll in a large copper vat. He picked it up and looked at it. There was writing on it: "This is..."
"Let me think about it." The clerk thought for a moment and clapped his hands and said, "I remember that when I bought it, the man said it was found from a war dead, and what was written on it was a knight's sword move.
"
"Well, it's a sword move, and it's a sword move of a fire knight." Yang Yan looked at the messy fonts on it. Although the writer didn't write neatly, he wrote it very completely.
The clerk looked at the words on it and said: "Sun Wu Yanhua, I am a magician and I don't know much about knight skills."
Yang Yan said: "Sun Wu Yan Hua is one of the ancient secret series, Yan Lin Twelve Blades. This set of sword moves has been lost for a long time, and only half of the remaining moves have been passed down. In this case, when we encounter real
It’s surprising.”
"It sounds like it's very powerful. Could it be fake?" The clerk heard what he said and came closer.
Yang Yan thought for a while and said: "I don't know, it might be true. The handwriting seems to have been copied in a hurry. The person who copied this obviously did not copy it openly."
"Are you interested?" Of course, what business people care most about is whether the customer is willing to buy.
Yang Yan asked back: "How much did you sell it for?"
"This..." The clerk called his friend to think about it and said, "Originally, I thought this could be sold for one or two hundred gold, two or three hundred gold, but from what you said, it sounds like the price is much higher than that."
"Then how much do you want to sell?"
The clerk discussed it with his companion and said, "Three...three thousand?"
A sword move that can be sold for three thousand gold coins is usually very high-end.
Yang Yan said: "I'll give you ten thousand gold coins. I bought this sword move."
"Ten thousand?" This clerk is a person who has done a lot of business. Obviously he will not be surprised by the ten thousand gold coins. He just feels strange: "Why do you want to give so much money? We don't understand this very well. And you just said
If you recognize this sword skill, we might sell it to you for one or two hundred gold coins if you don't tell me."
The two of them have been doing business in the royal capital for so long, and they have always been the only ones who try their best to lower the price. This is the first time they have seen such a customer.
Yang Yan smiled and said: "I will give you ten thousand gold coins because it is worth this price and I have the ability to pay this price. If I have the ability but do not pay this price, it will be an insult. I don't like insults. I like it."
s things."
The clerks also laughed: "You are really a strange person."
Yang Yan put away the turf scroll and handed them a gold scroll.
The clerk asked: "Aren't you worried that this sword skill is fake? 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount."
Yang Yan said: "Whether you buy something real or fake depends on the customer's luck. Isn't this the rule in your store?"
The clerk smiled: "Haha, yes."
Yang Yan said: "Your place is quite interesting. I hope I can have a chance to visit here next time. Goodbye."
After shopping and shopping, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Yan deposited the city defense blueprints in the World Bank, but Sun Wu Yanhua's sword moves stayed with him.
"Sun Dance Flame." Yang Yan, who was walking on the street, murmured: "I have wanted to learn this sword move for a long time. As far as I know, the world has inherited the magic of Yanlin Twelve Blades and the magic moon.
The Er family is one of them. A few days ago, I heard that the person who killed the Knight of Fire, Genis, was a general named Al Juda. If I have a chance, I want to meet this man."
…
In the dim room, the passion had passed, and the two naked people were dripping with sweat.
"Queen."
"Don't call me Queen, call me Jamie."
"But I think" Panotta hugged her from behind: "This makes me feel very excited."
Jamie turned around and looked at him and said, "Are you excited to have an affair with the queen?"
"Aren't you?" Panotta asked.
Jamie smiled: "You are really capable, you don't look like someone in their forties or fifties at all."
"How does it compare to him?"
Jamie caressed his chest and said softly: "Of course you are much better than him, he is just a soft persimmon."
Benota smiled happily: "If he hears this, I'm afraid he will be furious."
"He was so angry that I was happy."
"Do you want him dead so much?"
"What do you mean?" Jamie asked.
Benota said: "Actually, you should also be aware of the current situation in the royal capital. It is difficult to change Zalberg's coming to the throne."
Jamie was shocked: "Do you want me to murder him? Are you kidding, I..."
"Of course not, don't panic." Benota comforted her and said, "I'm just saying casually, you can't murder your own husband."
Jamie said: "I'm going to do it, do you still dare to like me?"
Benota smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? I like everything about you. But there is one thing I really want to ask you for help with."
