Palin had never been influenced by Chinese culture, so of course, he would not think like Sui. But he was a devout believer, and he would obey the request of his god, even if it was not in line with his own wishes.
So after his persuasion failed, he went to the shop assistant to ask for the price, ready to buy the exquisite enchanted long dagger.
However, after asking the price, even someone as insensitive as Sui could not help but feel the pain in his hand.
"This' Soul of Ice 'is worth 70,000 gold coins," the shop assistant said lightly.
Palin's eyes widened. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the appallingly high price.
After a while, he could not help but ask, "It's just an enchanted long dagger. Why is it so expensive? I've also seen high-level goods. Tens of thousands of gold coins are the most I've seen! "
The shop assistant glanced at him with a sneer and did not even bother to explain. He just snorted disdainfully and went straight to wipe a shiny long knife.
This kind of bumpkin who had never seen the market was like the skeletons in the Ashes Forest, endless. The shop manager had told him that people who could not see the real mystery of the "Soul of Ice" would not sell this weapon to him even if they had money!
Palin was rejected. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he was too embarrassed to get close to the shop assistant. He had to walk out of the weapon shop unhappily, planning to go to the hotel first.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by a skinny but neatly dressed child.
"Wise wizard, do you want to buy something good? Please go to the grocery store with good eyesight! "
Looking at the child's smiling expression and skillful sales promotion style, it was clear that he was waiting outside the weapon shop, specializing in selling to the downtrodden adventurers who had been hurt.
"Wizard, you didn't come to our Dragon-roar Town often before, did you?" The child said very familiarly, "If you were familiar with Dragon-roar Town, you would definitely not go to the 'Dragon Saber', the illegal shop!"
Palin immediately nodded and felt that the child's words were reasonable. A mere enchanted long dagger cost 70,000 gold coins. Why didn't they rob?
… No, robbing was not as fast as being a profiteer! 70,000 gold coins. The Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves had robbed for five years, but they had only earned 50,000 gold coins!
In the past few days, in order to prepare for the establishment of the village, they had entered Ruhr's treasure house.
Rhode's skills weren't inferior to Rene's. He didn't spend much effort to dismantle all the traps along the way. In fact, although the traps were very dangerous and powerful, they were quite old and outdated. Rhode even repackaged a few of the better ones and brought them to the Thieves' Guild's grocery store to be sold as antiques. The price was not low, and one of them was actually sold in just a few days.
A total of 50,000 gold coins were sorted out in Ruhr's treasure house. The rest of the antiques and magic items were either marked clearly and not easy to sell, or too dangerous to sell. The former was represented by a set of exquisite jewelry. The badge of the light-winged angel symbolizing the royal family of the Kingdom of Holy Angels made Rode break into a cold sweat. Especially when he carefully counted the number of angel wings on the badge, even his face turned pale. The latter was represented by a very hard phalanx, surrounded by black magic energy. When Satan saw this, he was so scared that he stepped back a few steps and almost hit his head on the stone wall.
Well, the former was the collection of the royal family of the most extreme and aggressive kingdom in the world, and it belonged to a prince in the last three generations. The latter was the soul box of an evil Lich. After it was killed, it would return to the world with this phalanx as a coordinate.
If the former was exposed, the Kingdom of Holy Angels would definitely send masters to the four northwestern towns, not only to take back this set of jewelry, but also to kill the whole family of the despicable businessman who had tarnished the honor of the great royal family. The latter was not afraid of being exposed, but who knew when the Lich would suddenly resurrect?
Although in terms of value, the set of jewelry and the soul box were far more than 50,000 gold coins, as long as they were not crazy, no one would think of selling them. Of course, even if the seller was crazy, he had to find a buyer who was also crazy and not afraid of death!
Although Palin was born in a merchant family, he was far from being rich. From his point of view, fifty thousand gold coins was already a dazzling sum of money, but that damned "Dragon Slayer Sword" weapon shop actually priced a mere enchanted long dagger at seventy thousand gold coins, and even put on an "if you don't buy it, it's your loss, I don't care" attitude, really made him feel a stomach full of anger.
At this moment, listening to the child denouncing the black shop, he suddenly felt that he had met a bosom friend and kept expressing his agreement.
"That black shop actually relies on a few exquisite enchantment weapons to attract people, such as' Soul of Ice 'and' Elder Tree '… But the price is too high, at least several times more expensive." The child was obviously an expert, or at least the person who taught him these words was an expert. "As for the 'Dragon Slayer' hanging on the central pillar of the shop … Haha, that's a joke! Those who can use that knife well, why can't they use it to slay a dragon? Or in other words, how can those who can slay a dragon take a fancy to that broken knife! "
Palin, who had heard similar comments from Sui Xiong, opened his mouth and finally understood why His Majesty was dismissive of the Dragon Slayer, but was a little interested in the long dagger.
The vision of a God was really not comparable to that of a mere mortal wizard!
"By the way, do you know? There's a story behind this knife, "the child said with a smile. The child said with a smile, "Thirty years ago, the former mayor of this town was lucky enough to make a fortune. At that time, in the Orc Empire to the east of the Great Gobi Desert, there was a famous cat beauty, whose singing and dancing beauty was unparalleled in the world. He spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful gem, hoping to win the beauty's heart with this gem. What do you think of this idea? "
Palin thought about it and shook his head. "It's not very reliable."
"Yes, it's not reliable at all! In the end, before he reached the Orc Empire, he was caught up by the Arctic Tyrant in the Gobi Desert. At that time, he took out incredible courage and fought with the dragon for this gem … "
"Died?" Palin asked.
"No. Killing this idiot who was obsessed with sex would damage the dignity of the dragon, so the dragon sent him thousands of miles back to the village and hung him on a big tree with a long piece of cloth on his body. On the cloth was written, 'This is the bravest pervert I have ever seen, but also the weakest.' "
Palin laughed. He laughed at the mayor's overestimation, and was amused by the humor of the dragon.
"After being rescued, the mayor found someone to make this' Dragon Slayer Sword 'and claimed that as long as one was willing to go into the mountain to slay the dragon, he would give the sword to you. As you can see, after thirty years, the mayor changed twice, and the sword is still hanging there. "
The two talked and laughed, and soon they arrived at the grocery store "Good Eyesight." This grocery store was not small. Looking at the walls and the facade, it should have a long history and could be called an old store.
Old Soth once taught Palin that if he wanted to buy something in an unfamiliar place, there were only two choices: either a well-known big store, or an old store with a long history. The former would definitely have a wide range of sources, and the latter would mostly focus on credibility, so they were both worthy partners.
As soon as he entered the door, the child shouted with a smile, "Snow! Snow! I found you a customer again! Tonight, my vegetable soup can't have carrots in it! "
"Children are not allowed to be picky, or they won't grow tall!" A middle-aged woman said as she walked out of the inner room. Her facial features were good, and it seemed that she was most likely a beauty when she was young. It was just that he was a little too fat and too tall. When he walked, he was like a tiger, causing the floor beneath his feet to groan faintly.
In a few steps, the female boss called "Snow" came in front of Palin. She grabbed the child like a chicken and put him aside. Then she said to Palin with a smile, "Dear customer, our grocery store 'Good Eyesight' is an old store that has been in business for almost forty years. We specialize in selling all kinds of groceries, and many of the things left by the senior adventurers. It can be said to be cheap and good. You won't be disappointed if you come here to visit us! "
Palin was a little scared and shrank back a little. Although this woman was just an ordinary person, she had an extraordinary bearing. Especially when the gap between their physiques was so huge, it made him feel very insecure.
But he immediately realized that he was a spellcaster! A wizard! Even among the adventurers, he was considered high-end. Why should he be afraid of an ordinary person!
So he stood up again, trying to show off his imposing manner as a wizard. However, the height of the dwarf was originally short, and the female boss named "Snow" was considered tall among the human beings. The nearly double height difference made his efforts meaningless.
Snow did not care about the attitude of the little wizard. She smiled and said, "Dear customer, what do you want to buy?"
"… Actually, I'm just looking around. I don't have anything in particular that I want to buy."
"I see! Then you've really come to the right place. We have a product that you must be interested in! " Snow laughed and dragged out a big box, which was almost as tall as Palin, from behind the counter. The box was full of all kinds of equipment, which was very messy.
"These are all purchased from the adventurers. None of them have been inspected and identified. Most of them should be garbage, but there must be good things that haven't been discovered. Now, you can choose any one of them to take away for only ten gold coins. " Snow said with a smile, "This is our shop's specialty product, 'Scavenging'. Whether you make a profit or lose a loss depends on your judgment. However, everyone can only choose one. "
Palin was stunned for a moment. Looking at the messy equipment in the box, he frowned and asked, "Can I use the identification spell?"
"Of course not! The so-called scavenging is a test of your judgment. " Snow's answer was not unexpected. "If you use the spell to identify it, it will be meaningless!"
"From a pile of inconspicuous things, choose the really valuable ones. The joy and satisfaction in this is the real treasure!"
The chubby woman smiled very happily, and her eyes sparkled with a brilliance that ordinary businessmen could not have.
