Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 9 Bandits in the City
Hulin wandered between the counters, carefully selecting gifts for Mei'er. Look at this and shake his head, look at that and wave his hand again. The little guy followed him diligently, constantly introducing the goods that Hu Lin's eyes saw.
Eventually, Hulin stopped at one of the innermost counters, staring at one of the items inside. It is a necklace made of black animal skin rings, which looks very simple and elegant. The main body of the necklace is a black animal skin ring more than a finger wide, and what can attract Hu Lin's eyes is the gemstone set in the circle.
It is a peach-colored heart-shaped stone, and the maker has carefully inlaid a circle of starlight gems around it. With the dark black animal skin ring, it looks like a shining star in the night sky.
"Shop, how do you sell this?"
"This son is really good eyesight, this chain is called the Midnight Star, although it is not from the hand of a famous artist, but it is a rare meson necklace. Because it is a meson treasure, the price is relatively expensive, worth two thousand gold coins......" After speaking, the little guy looked at Hu Lin, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
It's no wonder that the little guy doubted that two thousand gold coins were enough for an ordinary family to live for a lifetime. The common currency of this world is gold, silver and copper, and the exchange ratio is 1:1000, and gold coins are the most valuable. The largest currency in circulation among ordinary people is silver coins. Although Hulin's dress was different, it was definitely not a noble kind of difference.
Hu Lin was not very surprised by this price, because he had a meson bracelet on his wrist, and he still knew a little about the price of the meson treasure. It's just that he really didn't have two thousand gold coins on him, and he only found a few hundred gold coins from Chen Hai, but he found a meson ring, which should not be inferior to the value of this chain. It's just that Hu Lin didn't plan to take it out.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made a decision, and three items appeared in his hand one after another, slowly placing them on the counter. He said to the little guy, "Gold coins, I really don't have so many in my hand, can I exchange these three things for this chain?"
The little guy looked at the three items that Hu Lin took out in his hand, and he was worried, and said apologetically, "Childe, I'm really sorry, the villain can't see the value of the things in Childe's hand, and he can't call the shots." Childe waited, and the villain brought the shopkeeper and let him decide. After saying that, the little servant turned around and entered the inner hall.
The three items that Hu Lin took out, one was a delicate golden toad, which was obtained from Chen Hai's hands, and he hadn't studied the specific use. The other is an emerald green hairpin, which he brought from the third master. The last one is a jade box, and the material of the jade box is extraordinarily valuable.
"Childe, that necklace is too expensive, Mei'er doesn't want it...... Childe still put things away, let's go......" Mei'er was clear-minded, expecting that what Hu Lin took out must be something extraordinary, if this was remembered, it would be terrible.
"Mei'er, have you forgotten what I just said?" said Hulin, rubbing its head.
When Mei'er heard this, she stopped talking, but her heart was moved for a while, and for the first time, she felt that signing a contract with Hu Lin was a correct decision.
After a while, an old man was invited out by the little servant. The old man came to the counter, glanced at Hu Lin, and was attracted by the items on the counter.
Looking at the old man's slightly greedy gaze, Hu Lin whispered, "Sir, look at these three items of mine, can you exchange them for the Midnight Star?"
The old man knew that he had lost his temper, coughed lightly twice, and said slightly apologetically, "Childe, these three treasures, any one of them is worth more than the Midnight Star." However, for these three treasures, the old man still has a reluctant request, and he wants to discuss it with his son. ”
"Sir, please. ”
"The old man wants to use 15,000 gold coins to buy these three treasures in the hands of the son, I don't know what the son wants?"
"I'm sorry, old man...... I just want to trade this little toad for that midnight star. The other two things still have a certain meaning to me, I'm sorry......" After saying that, Soul Forest put away the other two.
The old man looked regretful, sighed and said, "Since those two treasures are of extraordinary significance to the son, the old man is not easy to force. However, these five poisonous golden toads are rare treasures for the poisoner. Using it to exchange for the Midnight Star, Childe obviously suffered a lot of losses. I have a gold card here, and there are 4,000 gold coins in it, and the extra 1,000 will be used as an old man and a son to make friends. If the prince wants to sell the two treasures in his hand one day, he will come to the Treasure Chamber of Commerce to find me, and the old man will call for money all over the world. ”
"Sir, how embarrassing is this......"
"Take it...... I'm also for the treasure in your hands, don't be embarrassed. After saying that, Qian Sihai handed the gold card to Hu Lin along with the Midnight Star.
Qian Sihai's straightforwardness, Hu Lin liked it very much, so he didn't shirk it, linked the gold card and the item to his hand, and said, "Hu Lin thank Qian Lao for his kindness." ”
Seeing Hu Lin take the gold card, Qian Sihai smiled and reminded, "This gold card can be used in any city, as long as you drop a drop of blood on it, it belongs to you, and no one can take the money inside." Little brother, you have to be careful when you get out of my shop. This Lin City is no better than other cities, it is very chaotic here......"
"Qian Lao's lesson is ......" Hu Lin grew up in the Demon Suppression Valley since he was a child, and he understood the meaning of Qian Sihai's words very well, but he was used to being a little demon king in the Demon Suppression Valley, but this time he was negligent.
Hu Lin didn't leave in a hurry, he first brought the late-night star to Mei'er, and chatted with Qian Sihai for a few words, before walking out of the door of the store unhurriedly.
"Mei'er, do you like this chain?" Hu Lin looked at the little fox in his arms, who was constantly stroking the necklace with his little paws, so he began to communicate with Mei'er.
"Hmm...... Mei'er likes it so much, thank you, young master!" Mei'er's big eyes have now been bent into a beautiful arc.
The necklace is also magical, after Merle has imprinted her soul, it can change in size with its shape. The black fur rings and peach-colored gems adorned Mei'er's snow-white fur even more beautifully. Hu Lin looked at the little fox's happy appearance, and his heart was also full of joy.
"Mei'er, can you envoy this treasure?"
"Of course, we demon beasts are also treasures that can control humans. However, this chain seems to be made for us fox clans, and I found that it can not only store things, but also improve my charm ability...... "Mei'er didn't expect that after getting this necklace, there would be such a discovery.
"Hey...... Looks like it's earned this time!"
"It's just...... That Five Poison Golden Toad is very helpful to the poisoner, and the young master is also very fond of using poison techniques. It seems a bit of a pity to use it to exchange this necklace for Mei'er......" The little fox remembered the golden toad, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, after all, it was a treasure that would help Hu Lin.
"Little girl, what do you think! Although I like to study poison, young master, I don't want to refine such a jade tree body into a poison that everyone hates. With those 10,000 poison beads, maybe I can have the power of a poison master without ruining my body......"
"What method has the young master thought of?" Mei'er heard Hu Lin's words, and her curiosity suddenly rose. It knows this owner of its own and often has some strange ideas.
"Confidential!"
"Young Master...... Just tell Meier...... Mei'er promised to keep it secret for the young master......"
"It's just an idea now, I'll tell you when the research is successful......"
"No...... I want to know now, young master, just tell me......"
Mei'er begged Hulin to tell the secret in various ways, but Hulin just wouldn't tell him. The master and the servant went shopping, and at the same time made a noise in Hulin's mind.
Hulin wasn't wandering around without purpose, he had been collecting materials for making puppets. On the way to Lincheng, Hu Lin carefully studied the book "Mysterious Secret Techniques" and became interested in making puppets. After buying the necklace for Mei'er, Hu Lin began to look for the material used by the junior puppeteer to practice, red copper wood, according to the records of the "Mysterious Secret Technique".
After walking for a long time, I saw that the sun was about to set. Hu Lin didn't find the red copper wood he wanted, so he wanted to go to Yuan Jing and asked her if the Jubao Chamber of Commerce had red copper wood.
Just as Hu Lin was about to finish shopping, two young men of about twenty years old walked up to him attentively.
"Dare to ask this boy if you are looking for the Copper Wood?" one of them said to Hu Lin.
"How do you know?" Hu Lin frowned, a look of alarm on his face.
Seeing that Hu Lin's face was vigilant, the other person said with a humble face, "Hello Gongzi, my name is Mei Youqian, and his name is Quan Shibao." The two of us were next to the stall just now, and overheard the conversation between Childe and the stall owner, only to learn that Childe was looking for red copper wood, and I hope Childe will forgive me. ”
Hu Lin saw that Mei Youqian's attitude was modest, and there were no loopholes in his words, the vigilance on his face dissipated, and he said to Mei Youqian, "Do you have red copper wood in your hands?"
"As far as I know, copper wood is a material that is not as good as metal ore when used to make weapons. For other purposes, its material is not as good as hard black ironwood, I wonder what is the use of this sluggish material for Childe?" Mei Youqian's face was full of puzzlement.
In fact, he was right, although red copper wood is rare, this material is not very useful, except for some eccentric foundry masters, basically no one cares.
Hearing Mei Youqian's question, Hu Lin's face leaked with displeasure, and he said, "What do you care I do with it?" I just want to know if you have red copper wood in your hands! Are you afraid that I can't afford it, young master?"
Seeing that Hu Lin's face was not good, Quan Shibao dragged Mei Youqian behind him, and said to Hu Lin apologetically, "Hehe...... Childe is not strange, there are some in the villain's house, if Childe wants, follow me to the house to get ......"
"Hmph!
Seeing that Hu Lin's face was not very good, they immediately stepped forward to guide him. The two of them took Hu Lin to walk around in Lincheng for a long time before they arrived at the "home" in the mouth of the powerful treasure.
The two led Hulin into an apparently abandoned compound full of weeds, apparently unvisited for a long time. Several of the tall houses had doors and no windows, and they didn't look like they were for people to live in, but rather like warehouses for storing things.
The door to one of the houses was opened by the two of them, and a solitary pile of wood lay inside. Hu Lin approached and found that the pile of wood was the red copper wood he was looking for.
Seeing the red copper wood, Hu Lin smiled on his face and said to the two, "I want all these red copper wood, you can make a price." ”
Unexpectedly, the two of them had changed their faces, and Mei Youqian said viciously, "Boy, don't think about this red copper wood, obediently hand over the meson treasure in your hand, and the two of us can let you leave safely!"
Hearing this, the smile on Hu Lin's face became even stronger, and he said very indifferently, "It turns out that the two of you are doing the work of 'smashing the kiln' (smashing the kiln, referring to robbery), disrespectful and disrespectful......"
When the two of them heard Hu Lin's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then the power of the treasure said, "Don't think that if you know a few black words, we will let you go!"
"I didn't think you would let me go, but I just wanted to know, did you target me when I was buying jewelry?"
"As soon as you enter the city, we have our eyes on you. Our prey is a newcomer like you. It's just that I didn't expect that you are still a fat sheep. Mei Youqian saw that Hu Lin's face was indifferent, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Big brother, what do you have to say to him, just kill the things and leave, anyway, no one here comes!" Quan Shibao obviously has no patience.
Hearing him say this, a wicked smile appeared on Hu Lin's handsome face......
