"Money Mischief?" Ye Fan smiled as he took the copper box and asked the shopkeeper.
The name of the hidden weapon was very interesting to him.
As Ye Fan asked, he looked at the copper box in his hand.
The copper box was not big, only the size of a palm. It was shiny, smooth, and delicate.
Directly above the copper box, there was a spring button the size of a copper coin.
The button was round on the outside and square on the inside. It was in the shape of a copper coin and was very delicate.
In front of the copper box, there was a thin opening.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
"What kind of hidden weapon is this? Why did you give it such a name? "After looking at the copper box in his hand, Ye Fan looked up and asked the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Wait for me to show you, then you will understand what is going on." The shopkeeper said as he extended his hand to Ye Fan.
"Okay." Ye Fan smiled and handed the copper box to the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper took the copper box, he held it in his hand and used his thumb to gently turn the copper coin button on the top.
Clap!
As the copper coin button slowly turned, the delicate and shiny copper box opened automatically with a clap.
The inside was densely packed with gears and springs. It was very delicate and very complicated.
Beside the delicate and complicated mechanism, there was a storage space with a plum blossom pattern.
The plum blossom pattern was composed of six hollow cylinders made of pure copper. One was in the middle and the other five were on the outside. It looked very lifelike.
After opening the copper box, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and took out a dozen copper coins from his bosom.
He put the copper coins one by one into the plum blossom shaped hollow cylinders.
Seeing this, Ye Fan and Akatsuki suddenly understood.
No wonder this item was named 'Money Mischief'. It was using copper coins as a hidden weapon!
Clack!
After putting all the copper coins in, the shopkeeper closed the copper box again.
"This item uses copper coins as a hidden weapon. It is very convenient." The shopkeeper handed the copper box to Ye Fan and said with a smile, "When facing an enemy, you just need to point this item at the enemy and press the spring button."
"How powerful is this item?"
Ye Fan reached out to take the copper box and asked the shopkeeper.
"Sir, you'll know once you try it." The shopkeeper said as he got up and walked to the counter, taking out a dagger.
He pulled out the dagger and went to the front of the shop, stabbing it into a bluestone at the entrance.
This bluestone was more than three feet tall and five feet square. It was densely covered with sword marks and saber marks. It was specially used for customers to test their weapons.
Cha!
The dagger was extremely sharp and directly pierced three inches into the stone!
"Sir, please!"
The shopkeeper returned to his seat and smiled at Ye Fan.
Obviously, he wanted Ye Fan to use the hidden weapon in his hand to attack the dagger.
"Then I'll accept your offer," Ye Fan said with a smile.
As he spoke, he aimed the copper box in his hand at the dagger on the bluestone. Then, he gently pressed the tension spring!
Shua!
As Ye Fan gently pressed down on the tension spring, a golden light instantly flew out from the copper box, heading straight for the dagger that was several zhang away!
Pa!
With a crisp sound, the sharp dagger that was stuck in the bluestone broke in an instant!
This dagger was made of stainless steel. Not only was it sharp, it was also extremely hard!
However, such a sharp and hard stainless steel dagger was instantly broken by a single copper coin!
The strength of this hidden weapon was obvious!
"What a great hidden weapon!"
Seeing this, Ye Fan blurted out!
He did not expect such an inconspicuous copper coin to be so powerful because of 'Money Mischief' in his hand!
"This concealed weapon can hold a maximum of sixty-six copper coins and has a shooting range of more than ten zhang. It can be shot out one by one and can also be shot out continuously. It's the most suitable weapon to carry around." The shopkeeper explained to Ye Fan.
"One copper coin for one life. It's really cheap." Looking at the shiny copper box in his hand, Ye Fan said with emotion.
"This account can't be calculated like that." The shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a smile, "This' Money Mischief 'is worth one thousand five hundred taels of silver. It's not cheap."
"That's true." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"I recommend the third hidden weapon for Sir. Sir will definitely like it." The shopkeeper said as he took out a rolled up green cloth pouch from the box.
"Oh? Is it? "Ye Fan put down the copper box and asked the shopkeeper with interest.
"Sir can open it and take a look." The shopkeeper handed the rolled up green cloth pouch to Ye Fan with both hands and said with a smile.
Ye Fan took the pouch and placed it on the table, slowly unfolding it.
When he saw the contents of the pouch, Ye Fan's eyes suddenly lit up!
It was flying daggers!
Inside the pouch were nine dazzling silver throwing knives!
What made Ye Fan even more shocked was that these nine flying daggers were completely forged in the style of the nine sons of the dragon!
Taotie, Bi 'an, Bi' an, Qiuniu, Yazi, Chao Feng, Pu 'lao, Bi' an, Bi 'an, Chi Wen!
The nine sons were lifelike and lifelike. Coupled with the beautifully curved body of the flying daggers, it was simply a work of art!
"These nine flying daggers are called the Nine Chain Daggers. They are made from rare cold iron," the shopkeeper explained to Ye Fan, "It is said that this object was a tribute from the Persian Empire to the Tang Empire. After the Tang Empire was destroyed, it flowed from the palace to the common people. By chance, I bought it with a lot of money."
"Nine Chain Daggers." Ye Fan muttered to himself as he took out a flying dagger from the pouch and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.
The flying dagger was heavy in his hand and had an excellent feel to it.
For a flying dagger, its weight couldn't be too light. Otherwise, in the process of flying, it would be easily affected by the airflow and lose its accuracy.
Nine Sheaths of the Frost Dragon, Nine Chain Daggers.
Was it God's will that he encountered these nine flying daggers?
Ye Fan thought to himself as he looked at the brilliant and cold flying daggers in front of him.
"How is it? Does this Nine Chain Daggers suit Mister's taste?" the shopkeeper asked Ye Fan with a smile.
"Shopkeeper's guess is correct. These nine flying daggers do suit my taste." Ye Fan gently inserted the flying dagger in his hand into the pouch and said to the shopkeeper with a smile.
"I can finally satisfy Mister." After listening to Ye Fan's words, the shopkeeper let out a long breath and said with a smile, "If even this Nine Chain Daggers can't enter Mister's discerning eyes, in this shop of mine, there is no other weapon that can be used."
"Cloud Piercing Arrow, Money Making Mischief, Nine Chain Daggers, these three hidden weapons together, how much does it cost in total?" Ye Fan picked up his tea and leaned heavily on the back of the chair as he asked the shopkeeper.
"What? Mister wants all three of these hidden weapons? "The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised.
"That's right, I want all of them." Ye Fan said as he drank his tea.
"Cloud Piercing Arrow is one thousand three hundred taels, Money Making Mischief is one thousand five hundred taels, and the Nine Chain Daggers is an item of the Imperial Family, so they are slightly more expensive, requiring six thousand five hundred taels. The total is nine thousand three hundred taels." The shopkeeper said, "Mister wants a lot, and your skill with weapons is at the peak of perfection. This old man admires Mister very much, and regrets that I didn't meet you sooner, so I will give you a discount. I will only charge you seven thousand taels of fine silver, and give you an extra twelve Cloud Piercing Arrows. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Ye Fan smiled.
He put down the fragrant tea, took out a large stack of banknotes, and then took one out.
"This is the banknote, please keep it safe, shopkeeper. Keep the rest of the change." Ye Fan handed the banknote to the shopkeeper and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper took it with both hands.
When he saw the amount on the banknote, the shopkeeper immediately turned pale with fright.
"One thousand taels of gold?" The shopkeeper said in shock.
If one thousand taels of gold were to be exchanged for fine silver, it would be at least ten thousand taels!
"Mister, this … this is too much …" The shopkeeper said to Ye Fan.
"It's rare to find a weapon that you like, so you don't have to be so polite." Ye Fan said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "But there is one thing that I want to ask you, shopkeeper. I don't know if you know about it."
"Mister may not know, but in our line of work, we never inquire about the identity of our customers. Even if we know, we will keep it a secret and never reveal it." The shopkeeper said to Ye Fan with an apologetic expression, "If mister wishes to inquire about our customers, then this old man cannot comply."
Ye Fan was stunned at first, but then he shook his head and smiled.
The shopkeeper thought that he wanted to inquire about the identity of other people.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, we are not inquiring about your customers. We just want to inquire about a place." Akatsuki said from the side.
Hearing Akatsuki's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh.
"This old man has misunderstood the two of you. I am ashamed, I am ashamed." The shopkeeper cupped his hands to express his apology and said, "May I know what the two of you wish to inquire about is? As long as this old man knows, I will tell you the truth. "
"May I ask where there are swamps in the southwest border?" Ye Fan asked the shopkeeper.
"Swamps?" The shopkeeper frowned after hearing this.
"That's right, swamps." Ye Fan added.
"Swamps … swamps …" The shopkeeper muttered to himself, "This old man has opened this shop here for more than thirty years and has never heard of swamps in the southwest."
When Ye Fan heard this, he immediately frowned.
"The two of you may not know, but in the southwest, there are more droughts than rain. It is not as good as in Jiangnan, so there are no swamps at all." The shopkeeper continued.
"Then thank you, shopkeeper." Akatsuki said to the shopkeeper.
"This young lady is too polite." The shopkeeper replied.
"If that's the case, then we will take our leave." Ye Fan picked up the three concealed weapons and stood up to speak to the shopkeeper.
"I hope we can meet again someday." The shopkeeper cupped his hands and said to the two of them. "Take care."
Ye Fan smiled and slowly walked out of the shop with Akatsuki.
"The two of you, please wait a moment."
Just as the two of them walked out of the shop, the shopkeeper chased after them with a small wooden box in his hand.
"Shopkeeper, is there anything else?" Ye Fan turned around and asked the shopkeeper.
"Sir, have you forgotten? I promised to give you twelve more Cloud Piercing Arrows. "The shopkeeper said as he handed the wooden box to Ye Fan.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Ye Fan took the wooden box and said.
"I don't know why the two of you are looking for swamps here, but if the two of you still want to continue, I suggest that you continue to head southwest." The shopkeeper said to the two of them.
"Continue to head southwest? Why?" Ye Fan frowned and asked.
"The terrain here is either mountains or plains. There are no potholes at all." The shopkeeper said to the two of them, "But as far as I know, there is a place called 'Huang Ni Village' three hundred miles southwest of here. There are many ravines and depressions there. I heard that there is also a small river. Maybe you can find swamps there."
