"Angor!" Fosah greeted Angor with a smile. "What a coincidence. You're here twice already. Are you going to learn alchemy from Master Prome too? "
"Good afternoon, Angor." Laffitte also smiled at Angor.
Angor was confused by Fosah's sudden kindness last time. He wondered if it was some kind of trick. Regardless, Angor did not want to offend Fosah since they were being nice.
"Good afternoon," Angor said, "I'm here to talk to Master Prome about something. Are you saying that Master Prome is going to take in a new student? "
Angor glanced at Dave. The latter was confused. Why didn't he hear about this before?
"You don't know? There's a rumor going around that Master Prome wants to take in a new student. He's been staying in his shop for a whole week just to find a good student. "
Dave suddenly realized something. "I didn't pay much attention to people who came to me from time to time. No wonder there are so many people here these days. Someone's been spreading the rumor. "
"It's just a rumor?" Fosah glanced at Laffitte in surprise.
Laffitte was also confused. "A rumor? Then Mister Blackjack — "
Fosah cleared his throat and interrupted Laffitte. "Mister Blackjack asked us to come here to buy an alchemy weapon. The rapier you wanted last week, mister."
"Rapier!"
"Oh, it's a rapier."
When they went to lunch at noon, David locked up the shop. Dave opened the door and pointed at Fosah and Laffitte. "You two wait outside. Angor and I will go inside and get some stuff ready."
Fosah and Laffitte knew when to back down. They were so arrogant because they had Blackjack's support the other day. Now that they were alone, they did not dare to talk back.
When Angor entered the shop, Dave curled his lips. "Did you hear that? The pockmarked man looked like he wanted to say something. I think Blackjack wants to be Master Prome's student too. Look at that arrogant and rude guy. There's no way Master Prome will take him in. But it's strange. I remember Master Prome said Blackjack never wants to be a student. Why would he suddenly have this idea? Could it be that your words that day made him repent? "
"Who knows?" Angor did not really care. He did not think his words could enlighten a stubborn person. There must be another reason. "Why did you lock them up outside?"
David took the Tang sword from the wall and said, "I just wanted to ask you, are you going to raise the price of this sword? If not, I'll sell it at the price they said. "
"Did anything happen this week?"
"What is it?"
An Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm … For example, something that can increase the price of this saber."
"How can there be such a coincidence? Something like the Frost Moon Passage can only be encountered by chance!"
"Since I told them to come here in a week, let's do it. Anyway, they're all worthless things. "
"See? Like I said, we still have to sell it sooner or later." David rubbed his face and said, "And I promised to raise the price the other day. Looks like I'm going to lose all my face this time."
David called Fosah and Laffitte in and placed the Tang sword in front of them. "You want to buy it, right? Name your price. "
"You didn't raise the price, did you?" Fosah asked with a smile.
David looked a little uncomfortable. "Don't ask so many questions. Just name your price!"
Laffitte rolled his eyes and said, "Ten magic crystals!"
David slammed the table. Last time, they offered 15 crystals. He did not want to lower the price again.
Before David could say anything, Fosah gave Laffitte an angry glare and pulled him behind him. "It's 15 crystals. You heard wrong."
Laffitte was a little anxious. He moved to Fosah's ear and tried to argue.
Fosah lowered his voice and said, "Listen to me. Sometimes, friendship is more important than five crystals. We don't need to lower the price now. "
Fosah was talking to Laffitte in a low voice, but both Angor and Dave heard it.
David showed an amused expression. "You're an interesting fatty. You said that just for me, right?"
Fosah waved his hand. "I'm here to buy the weapon for my boss. Nothing else."
David glanced at Angor, but Angor did not seem to mind at all, so he made up his mind. "Alright then. 15 crystals it is."
Fosah put on a "everything is under control" expression and took out his money pouch to pay.
However, right at that moment, an unforeseen event occurred. A sudden voice came from the entrance of the shop.
"Wait! I'll take the sword! I'll pay 20 crystals! " The speaker was a man wearing a luxurious shirt and fine leather pants. There was a gemstone dagger hanging on his waist. He strode in from outside the shop and seemed to be a little out of breath.
"Where the hell did you come from? We already bought the sword! " Laffitte's expression darkened. They just said that they would not raise the price, and someone just showed up and slapped them in the face.
Fosah also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Could it be that the shop hired someone to do this?
Fosah glanced at Dave. Dave's face was normal a moment ago, but when he saw the newcomer, his face darkened.
It was not an actor. Also, this person seemed to have a grudge with the shop assistant. Fosah recalled the man's words. The man did not know that the sword was not a sword, but a blade. He did not think it was a blade, but since the shop assistant said so, then it must be a blade. Judging from all the signs, this was not an actor.
Then … why did the price suddenly go up?!
"Don't show up in front of me, lowly person." The newcomer sneered and threw a money pouch to the counter. "20 crystals. I'll take it!"
With that, the luxurious man reached for the Tang sword.
Fosah suddenly pressed down on his Tang Saber.
"What are you doing, lowly person? Get your hands off me! "
Fosah's expression darkened. The man was definitely stronger than them, but he promised Mister Blackjack to bring the weapon back. He had no choice.
"The shop assistant has agreed to sell it to us. Do you know what 'first come, first served' means?" Fosah was nervous when he said that. He said that on the premise that David had to support him. If even David didn't support him at this time, then what he said was meaningless.
"Sell it to you? You pay 15 crystals, and I'll pay 20. You haven't paid yet, but I've already done so. Who do you think the shop assistant will sell it to? "The luxurious man sneered.
Fosah knew that even though he was right, the wizarding world was not a place to be reasoned with. Therefore, it all depended on David's attitude.
Both of them looked at David at the same time. David's face was filled with uncertainty. He was conflicted as well.
Twenty crystals for the sword was definitely a great deal … However, this luxurious man was the one who stood beside Naru the Mad Demon Warblade in the Bartterfly Bar. The fight between him and Naru was not a big deal, and he was not injured. He would have forgotten about it in a day or two. However, it happened not long ago, and David's anger was still at its peak. Naturally, he felt disgusted when he saw the man.
However, even if he hated the person opposite him, he didn't hate money! Besides, the sword belonged to Angor. Even if he wanted to annoy the luxurious man, he still had to consider the real owner of the sword.
David did not say anything, and Fosah's expression became a little awkward.
The luxurious man pushed Fosah away. "Do you know what 'the highest bidder wins' means? Only poor people will try to reason with others and put all their hope on other people's morals. That's right, I'm talking about you, lowlifes.
"Once you have money, you'll realize that reasoning with others is a joke."
The luxurious man's words struck Fosah's heart. Before entering the wizarding world, Fosah was the son of an economy minister in a mortal kingdom. He never lacked money since he was young, and he was very sensitive about money. Back then, he had the same philosophy as the man in front of him. Now, in the wizarding world, he wanted to "reason" because he had no money.
Fosah blushed. Laffitte glared at the man.
"What? Do you think I'm wrong? Raise the price if you have money. "
"You!" Laffitte was furious. Fosah quickly held him back. They only brought 15 magic crystals. Both Fosah and Laffitte had done a lot of quests recently. They had some savings, but they did not even have 5 magic crystals in total.
The noble-looking man sneered. At this moment, another person walked into the shop.
It was a woman with curly hair that covered half of her face. The other half of her face looked very seductive. Her body was wrapped in a tattered black robe. The upper part of the robe was still intact, and only the armor on her upper body could be vaguely seen. The lower part of the robe was in a mess, revealing the woman's plump and slender white thighs.
"What the hell are you doing, Tesla? Just buy the weapon and leave! "The woman walked to the luxurious man in a seductive manner.
"Let me tell you a joke, Kunna. A lowlife is trying to reason with me," Tesla said in disdain.
Kunna glanced at Fosah and Laffitte, then at Angor and Dave. She was about to say something when her eyes were attracted by a crescent-shaped light.
"What's that?" Kunna pointed at the tool table behind Dave.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the tool table was in a mess, filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items. There was a glass box on one of the shelves. Inside the box was —
A crescent moon that was emitting a cold light.
…
"Can you show it to us, mister?" Kunna pointed at the crescent moon.
Kunna was one of Naaru's followers. Dave was furious, but in the end, he took out the glass box with an expressionless face.
When the glass box was placed on the counter, everyone's attention was drawn to what was inside.
There was a short scythe inside, which had faint patterns on the blade. The crescent moon they saw was the blade of the scythe, which had a beautiful curve and a faint blue light. The light was refracted by the glass itself, which gave them the illusion that they were looking at a crescent moon.
"It's … a tiered alchemy weapon!" Kunna was overjoyed when she saw the faint magic runes on the blade.
Every time Prome put up a new weapon, countless people would come to buy it. A tiered alchemy weapon would be sold out in a matter of minutes. They never thought they would see a tiered alchemy weapon here. Of course they were happy!
While everyone was still looking at the scythe, Tesla took out a bigger money pouch and threw it on the table. "This scythe! I'll take it! "
