Upon hearing Xia Fan's question, the hunchbacked old shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I do have something with a strange wing-shaped symbol on it."
"Speaking of this thing, it's really not easy to get. I bought it from someone else with a lot of money. If it were someone else, even if they begged me, I wouldn't let them have a look at it. After all, this kind of thing with a flying wing pattern is very rare."
A profiteer.
Xia Fan smiled and defined the hunchbacked shopkeeper in his heart. The reason why he said so was that he wanted to sell the thing in his hand at a good price.
To be honest, Xia Fan doubted whether the old shopkeeper knew what the flying wing pattern represented. Perhaps before Xia Fan came, that thing had no value in his eyes.
After all, Fo You was still naive. He exclaimed, "Oh, your words make my heart itch. Hurry up and take it out. Let me have a look."
The old man nodded with a smile and went inside.
At this time, Tony smiled and said to Fo You, "As the old saying goes, there is no businessman without slyness. You shouldn't show this interest. This old man will definitely ask for a sky-high price later."
"But it doesn't matter. I'll deal with him."
It didn't take long for the old man to come back with a snack box. He opened the steel snack box and slowly took out a piece of cloth from it. It was one of the pieces of torn clothes.
"Let me have a look." Fo You couldn't wait to grab it. The old man was slightly stunned and his hands were hanging in the air. Fo You's hands were so fast that he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"What? It's just a piece of torn cloth with a flying wing pattern. It fell from a combat suit. But the material is good. I've never seen such a light and tough material."
Fo You said as he handed the piece of cloth to Xia Fan with some chagrin.
Xia Fan held it in his hand and suddenly felt an indescribable desolation.
What Fo You saw was a piece of torn cloth, but what Xia Fan saw was a fierce battle!
Judging from the shape of this fiber material and the degree of damage, the person wearing this combat suit must have fought fiercely with someone.
It was very likely that he was dead …
This was the relic of a dead relative!
Xia Fan's heart beat faster, his blood surged, and an indescribable anger rose in his mind!
Blood was thicker than water. It was an existence that could not be explained by logic.
Xia Fan, who had never seen his family before, cherished them more than anyone else. This was because family was something he had always longed for, something he had always been searching for. Hidden behind his bright smile was Xia Fan's bone-deep loneliness!
Was he really the only one in Cang Yue?
Was he going to be alone forever?
In his dreams, Xia Fan always saw some familiar figures. They were the family he had imagined. His father was thin like him, but he looked handsome. His mother was gentle and generous. Perhaps he had siblings. If his siblings had children, he would be their uncle. How cute it was to be surrounded by a group of little ones.
The corners of his eyes suddenly blurred. It was as if his family members were always blurred in his dreams. Xia Fan knew he had family, but he had never seen them.
Quietly, Xia Fan put away the broken battle uniform with the Heavenly Wing Pattern and looked at the hunchbacked old man.
"Where did you get this thing?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.
Although he always had a smile on his face, at this moment, his smile looked very complicated.
The hunchbacked old man talked about how he spent a lot of money to get this fragment from a smuggler. According to him, this fragment came from Cang Yue and was a relic of a sect master of the Sacred Alliance.
Xia Fan was now completely convinced that the hunchbacked old man did not know that the Soaring Wing Pattern was actually unique to the Heavenly Wings. He was lying.
His face quickly turned cold. Even Fo You looked very impatient. He shouted at the old man, "What nonsense are you talking about? None of the three thousand sect masters of the Sacred Alliance use this kind of Soaring Wing Pattern. Are you trying to bully me because I don't know? "
Xia Fan looked at Fo You. Of course he knew because he was born in the Nebula Buddha Clan. His father was the Great Buddha, his grandfather was the Old Buddha, and he was the famous Little Buddha.
Once Fo You became impatient, he would become very violent. He grabbed the boss by the collar and threatened him.
At this time, Tony said with a smile, "Peace makes money. This is the market. There is no problem that gold can't solve. Let me talk to him."
Xia Fan nodded. Only then did Fo You let go of the hunchbacked old man.
Tony called the shopkeeper into the inner room. There were many unspoken rules in the market. Xia Fan did not need to intervene in how they talked business.
Fo You leaned back, holding his head and said, "This thing was left by Heaven's Wings."
Xia Fan was stunned. "So you knew all along?"
Fo You nodded. "Of course, I know everything. Including the metabolism accelerator that Sand Gate takes, it's also something from Heaven's Wings. Our family's ancestors left behind a book that recorded this stuff. "
"After all, it's Heaven's Wings that made our family suffer a great loss. You have a good relationship with Spirit Bird and Hei Zi. You might know that their ancestors were also killed by Heaven's Wings.
"In Cang Yue, almost all the ancestors of the warrior families died in the hands of Heaven's Wings. This group of lunatics is Cang Yue's nightmare.
"Now I finally understand why you're here."
You knew?!
Xia Fan was shocked. Could it be that Fo You already knew that his surname was Xia and that he was a speed type? This was not a coincidence, but because he was the public enemy of Cang Yue, a descendant of the Heaven's Wings clan?
Fo You laughed and patted Xia Fan's shoulder. "Your surname is Xia, and so is Heaven's Wings. You are a speed type, and so is Heaven's Wings. This is such a coincidence.
"Therefore, you hope to obtain the equipment of Heaven's Wings because you are about to reach the Star Domain level. Once you reach the Star Domain Heavenly Venerate of the speed lineage, you will enter a nearly invincible state. Heaven's Wings has the best equipment of the speed lineage, so as long as you can find a few items left behind by Heaven's Wings, it will be of great help to your future development!"
Fo You looked at Xia Fan seriously and said proudly, "What do you think? Am I right? You came here to get your hands on Heaven's Wings' equipment. "
* Pfft *
Xia Fan almost spat. What kind of bullsh * t reasoning was Fo You using?
Heaven's Wings' equipment?
Heaven's Wings was his family. Was there a need to do that?
Xia Fan smiled and said to Fo You seriously, "Well, I really can't escape your eyes. You are the best."
"Haha, I knew it!" Fo You was overjoyed. He crossed his arms and said righteously, "Good brother, for life! Don't worry, I will definitely help you. "
"Thank you very much." Xia Fan flashed a bright smile.
After a while, Tony came back.
"It's settled. Five gold coins."
Xia Fan was slightly stunned. The price was much lower than he had expected. After all, the hunchbacked shop owner had made it clear that he wanted to rip him off.
"How did it go?" Xia Fan asked curiously.
Tony smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. You hired me, so I have to make you feel that it's worth it, right? Besides, five gold coins is a lot for him. "
"Did he say how he got it?" Xia Fan asked again.
Tony sighed. "Well, a scavenger sold it to him. He doesn't know exactly where the scavenger got it, but I believe he didn't lie."
Xia Fan nodded with some disappointment. He had obtained a piece of Heaven's Wings' armor, but he didn't know where it came from. This would not help him find more clues.
Even if he used his superpower of smell to track it, there would be no result. After all, it had been forty thousand years since Heaven's Wings broke into Cangyue.
Xia Fan paid the money and returned to the Garden Hotel with Tony.
When it was time to pay, Xia Fan's finger gently touched the spatial ring and five gold coins appeared as if he was performing a magic trick.
Seeing this scene, the hunchbacked shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to be very shocked.
After he took the money, Donny took him aside and whispered something to him. The hunchbacked shopkeeper listened and nodded.
Xia Fan asked Tony when he came back.
Tony shrugged. "It's nothing. The market is a very complicated place. Even though I'm here with you, you still have to be careful."
So the group returned to the hotel. Tony invited Xia Fan and Fu You out for a night, but Xia Fan declined. They arranged to meet again the next morning. Fu You wanted to go, but he didn't want to go alone. So when Xia Fan rejected Tony, he was a little bored.
The next morning, Xia Fan saw Tony and Jay as soon as the market opened.
As usual, they walked to the Fire Beacon Grand Market diagonally across the street.
"Boss! Boss! "
Smarty came out of nowhere and shouted at Xia Fan.
Compared to yesterday, Smarty looked much better. His dark face had a bit of color, probably because he had eaten.
Although his clothes were still the same old clothes, it was obvious that they had been washed. His whole body was clean, and the sour smell had also disappeared. He looked very energetic.
"Oh, you're here."
"Boss! What orders do you have today? I'm willing to do anything! "
Xia Fan smiled and scanned the street. He saw a restaurant with a unique decoration. It was equipped with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass, and he could clearly see what was happening on the street.
Xia Fan pointed to the restaurant and said to Smarty, "Your task today is to continue to help me find things with this pattern in the market. The more you find, the higher the reward.
But don't make it big and let the whole market know I'm looking for it. Don't bring a lot of people unless you trust them very much. "
"We'll meet here before evening."
Smarty nodded. "I understand. I'll bring my two younger brothers and quietly look for what you want. They're all my brothers, and they can definitely be trusted!"
Xia Fan saw two teenagers waiting anxiously not far away. They were as thin as Smarty and had big eyes, but they were younger, less than ten years old. Their clothes were even more ragged than Smarty's.
"Give me your hand," Xia Fan said.
Maybe because he thought he was dirty, Smarty rubbed his hand on his pants and then stretched it out.
Xia Fan shook hands with him and secretly gave him a gold coin and a few small silver ingots. The silver ingots were the change he got from his coffee yesterday. Xia Fan had learned to be smart and knew that in this place, wealth should not be exposed.
Smarty felt the weight in his hand and his arm suddenly trembled with excitement.
Xia Fan said, "Go do your work, but remember to eat."
Smarty almost knelt down to Xia Fan and bowed repeatedly. Then he rushed into the market with his brothers. The security guard wanted to stop them, but they swooped in through the gap in the fence just like the little monkey.
Tony watched Smarty disappear and frowned. "You asked Smarty to look for something. What are we going to do today?"
Xia Fan smiled. "Didn't you say that there are a few big bosses in the market who run shady businesses and ordinary people can't go in?"
Tony nodded. "Yes, those places sell high-end goods. You can't go in without a guide."
