"Don't get your hopes up, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. These are the words that the blue wolf warned Helian Xiaojiang who was in a state of excitement all the way.

A qiē is unknown. Located in the far north of the Kyushu continent, the Xianguo itself is very mysterious, where the sky is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the Xian people seem to be very xenophobic, they do not like to go to other countries, and they refuse to allow outsiders to enter the country. Therefore, the magical Ice Spirit Mirror was also said by someone who had been to Xianguo a long, long time ago and had the opportunity to see it once. And that person has been dead for a hundred years, and the authenticity of the Ice Spirit Mirror is impossible to verify.

The blue wolf just has a one-size-fits-all mentality.

Helian Xiaojiang obviously didn't take the wolf's words at ease, she was very optimistic: "We are going to go so far now, so we have to hold on to expectations." Hehe, I think it's very likely that the Ice Spirit Realm exists. ”

That little bit of homecoming expectation made Helian Xiaojiang feel good.

There is a border city on the border between the two countries of Xin and E, and a small prosperous town enclosed by a simple wall, which is the junction of the two countries. The arrival of the two here is a milestone on the long journey, and this border town can be regarded as both the land of Xin and E. Only then did the two sides of the town officially return to their respective countries, and they were clearly distinguished. On the mainland of Kyushu, the countries are connected by such towns and cities. The demarcation of the borders of the Ten Kingdoms has been handed down from ancient times. There is no aggression between countries, and if you insist on the territory of others, God will punish the violating party. Therefore, the factors that cause instability in a country have always been caused from within.

This border town is not only not as remote and cold as Helian Xiaojiang imagined, on the contrary, it is also very lively. People trade here, there are big merchants who do big business, and there are also small business hawkers. The main street is bustling with people.

As soon as he entered the city gate, the blue wolf jumped down from Qiji's back and walked, and Helian Xiaojiang immediately dismounted smoothly. There were stalls selling all kinds of things on both sides of the street, and Helian Xiaojiang looked over one by one with great interest, but found that there were many things she didn't recognize. For example, some fruits and vegetables that have never been seen before, such as artificially made daily necessities that I don't know what to do, such as some animals that look different in cages. These things seemed strange to Helian Xiaojiang, as if they were from an alien planet.

Helian Xiaojiang looked at it all the way, and was amazed all the way. The result of distracted walking is to accidentally hit the back of the blue wolf. She covered her nose and looked up, only to find them parked in front of a stall.

It's an armory shop!

The stove that burns the red and the red is prosperous. Muscular brawny men hammer and hammer the freshly baked reddish metal with a hammer and hammer repeatedly, surrounded by scorching heat and sparks. It's exactly the same as the scene in the costume TV series, Helian Xiaojiang leaned over curiously and excitedly to take a closer look.

The muscular bearded man threw the reddish metal back into the furnace to continue calcining, he wiped his sweat and turned back to greet the customer: "Big brother, what weapons do you need? ”

The big man in front of him has a big beard, and there are fine wrinkles on his exposed forehead and the corners of his eyes, and he is clearly much older than the blue wolf, but he opens his mouth and calls the blue wolf "big brother".

"Is there a light and sharp dagger?" replied the blue wolf, who did not feel awkward.

"Oh, is this eldest sister useful?" Uncle Beard suddenly realized, and hurriedly looked at Helian Xiaojiang with a smile: "Yes, yes! Big brother and big sister, please come here." ”

Helian Xiaojiang frowned at the title of "eldest sister", and when Uncle Beard called him so loudly, he suddenly felt that he was at least ten years old in an instant. She hurriedly lowered her head and did not answer, but her footsteps did not stop, and she followed Uncle Beard to the shop next to it, which specialized in selling finished knives and tools. Two shops pù a proprietor, a wall separating the heat of the stove. The shop is not big, but there are many customers, Helian Xiaojiang is crowded in the crowd, looking left and right.

In addition to various weapons, there are also iron household utensils, such as kitchen knives and iron buckets on the floor. Long swords and broadswords hung on the walls, and daggers and short knives were lined up on a long table. Helian Xiaojiang just stretched out his hand and wanted to take a handful to try, but before his fingertips touched, Helian Xiaojiang suddenly raised his head and glanced at the place where the blue wolf was standing, the other party shook his head lightly, Helian Xiaojiang had no choice but to retract his hand.

The town is bustling with activity, with customers coming in and out of the store, and the sound of bargaining is endless. The two looked at each other in the air for a second before parting.

The short knives and other weapons in front of you are small and smooth, with different shapes, and some are also inlaid with jewels and jade, which is very good-looking, not at all like a cold weapon that kills people but is like an ornament. Helian Xiaojiang's fingers lingered in the air over a scimitar with a large cat's eye ruby embedded in the hilt. It is not only shaped like a Persian knife in the Western Regions, but also decorated with such a gorgeous and dazzling decoration. Helian Xiaojiang was completely attracted by the appearance of this knife.

"Is there a dagger made of stainless steel?" "Blue Wolf pays more attention to quality and practicality.

Weapons made of stainless steel are not only sharp and tough, but the most important advantage is that the metal is very lightweight, making it suitable for women with weak arms. However, the amount of this metal is limited, the demand is high, and the price naturally rises.

As soon as the blue wolf mentioned the "stainless steel" beard, he realized that he was facing a knowledgeable big customer, so he didn't dare to slack off and quickly replied: "The materials are available, if you want them, you can directly hit them." ”

The blue wolf grabbed Helian Xiaojiang's hand, which was still lingering, raised it in front of the bearded man and raised it: "Dagger, the handle of the knife is matched according to the size of these hands, how many days will it be available at the earliest?"

"The words of the dagger will take at least three days. ”

"Okay, I'll pick it up in three days. The wolf happily put down a small gold nugget as a deposit. Raised his feet and walked two steps, but found that the little tail that followed behind all the time did not follow, and when he turned his head, he saw that Helian Xiaojiang was still in love with the ready-made short knife that was useless, and her eyes were about to fall on the opal. The blue wolf paused, turned around and walked back again, grabbed a large handful of broken silver from the money bag, and said to the shopkeeper, "Put a good red opal on the knife tray, and pay the balance together when you pick up the goods." ”

"Okay. The bearded man nodded repeatedly, and with a wave of his hand, he pocketed both gold and silver.

A dagger made for himself, according to the fashionable name: "high custom", "limited". Helian Xiaojiang was full of expectations for the results in three days, and she hurriedly led the horse to keep up with the wolf.
