February 8, 6 a.m

"There are still so few customers today," the owner, who is about 50 years old with a pipe in his mouth, sighed, "Alas, it's really hard to do business now."

The door of the "jingle bell" with the bell tied to it was pushed open

"Welcome! What do you want, sir? The boss hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face

"I don't want anything, just send you a piece of business to do" The man in the cloak threw a sword on the table and "made an offer"

"This guest, our store here is relatively small, and we don't accept ancient swords," the boss said with a wry smile

"I'm not asking you to pay, I'm saying how much money do you want to charge" The man said coldly, "Make a price"

"Cursed weapons?" The boss said cautiously

"Do you want to try it" The man said coldly, "I don't want you to keep it, someone will naturally buy it in a few hours, I just want you to sell it to him"

"This is fine," the boss nodded, "Can you let me identify it first?" ”

The "troublesome guy" man casually threw a handful of stones, and then turned them into gold nuggets with a light blow

The boss gasped, not only because of his alchemy skills, but also because of the fear of his identity, there is no one in this country who can complete alchemy magic just by exhaling, so the identity of this person in front of him may be very noble

"There is no need to appraise it, these gold nuggets are worth 500,000 yuan, and it will be yours if you promise to accept these" The man said coldly, "How about it?" Do you refuse?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll sell this sword to someone else" The boss nodded, "So what about the characteristics of the other party?" ”

"Carried by a pink-haired girl, that's all," the man turned and left

"Hey, hey, we've been friends for so many years, and now we don't even say hello when we leave?" The old longsword suddenly spoke

"A sword of wisdom? I'm sure you're too annoyed by the guests," the boss laughs

"Almost" he turned his head, "what's there to say, how long have you been in my treasure trove you know in your own heart, I don't need a sword that I can't draw"

"Who called Lao Tzu a high-class commodity, ordinary guys can't serve me" The scabbard opened and closed

"Hmph, whatever you want, the new owner will please you this time" The man turned and walked out

"This sword seems to have a good relationship with the guest, do you really want to sell it?" The boss asked again

"Good relationship?" The man stopped, and there was a chill in his golden eyes peeking out from under the scarf, "Don't make a mistake"

"He's the only thing I want to destroy in this world but can't, and if I can, I really hope he will break into pieces soon."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of shopping

"Woo, finally dismounted," Hiraga hurriedly jumped off his horse after a three-hour trek

"It's useless, don't you guys ride horses anywhere," Louise said disdainfully, "not like a man at all"

"We all use cars there," Hiraga forced his trembling legs together, "Besides, who can stand such a long journey!" ”

There was a sound of pulling the reins behind him, and Chong then jumped off his horse

"Look, Chong is different from you," Louise said dissatisfied, "learn a little from others."

"Chong, why do you want to treat me like this," Hiraga Cairen decisively hid in the corner and drew circles

“？” I used to play horseback riding and swimming, but I haven't ridden it for two or three months, so I miss it now

"Have you come to your senses? Let's go, then, there's not much time," said Louise, after waiting a few minutes, "will the horse stop?" Then find a place to bolt it."

"Yes, yes, yes" After all, I wanted to help him buy something, so Cairen's tone eased a lot

"Chong, what do you want?" After Hiraga went out to tie his horse, Louise leaned over and asked, "I specially prepared some extra money."

"No, I have," Chong said lightly

"No, there are a lot of high-end goods around here, it doesn't matter if you buy a little, and it's because you can heal magic that I saved a lot of money" Louise glanced at Hiraga "Really, I don't know how to save some money for my master"

Chong was silent

"Louise, the horse is on a leash," Hiraga pointed to the horse tied to the wooden post, "Is it okay?" ”

"Alright, let's go," Louise nodded, and walked forward

The streets are all made of white stone, and there are many more people dressed plainly, which is completely different from the aristocratic atmosphere in the magic academy, and there are merchants selling fruit and meat everywhere on both sides of the street, which is the real exoticism, thanks to it, the exoticism of talented people is suddenly exalted

"But it's a little small," Hiraga said involuntarily

"Small? It's already a big street."

"That's it?"

The road is not even 50 meters wide, and there are many people passing through the street, so it is difficult to move a step

"Bruden Street, this is the largest street in the whole of Therestein, and in front of it is the royal palace" Louise pointed to the front, "how can this be small"

"Our countryside is more than ten meters wider than this street," Hiraga stepped on the ground, "how many people do you have here?" ”

"Well, according to the household registration, there are more than three million," Louise thought for a moment and came up with the answer, "but in fact there are more than five million"

"Why are more than 2 million people unregistered?" Hiraga was surprised

"Don't ask about this kind of thing, you'll be very angry when you hear it," Louise turned her head away, "There are some national factors, so I can't tell you"

Chong, who had been shot for no reason, continued to scan the surroundings

"What do you mean by that bottle-shaped kanban?"

"Distillery"

"And what is that big cross mark?"

"It's the guard's collection house" followed by repeated inquiries, and whenever Hiraga stopped and asked questions, Louise would give an answer and take his hand and leave, while Chong followed without saying a word

"I think I found it near Pillmont's Secret Apothecary!" Louise stepped up the stone steps, then pushed the door open with all her might

"What will the Otherworld sell? Will you find a magic sword or something in your hand? Hiraga rubbed his hands excitedly

"Welcome, noble lady," the boss greeted him diligently after seeing the six-pointed star badge on his chest, "What do you want?" ”

"Give me a sword," Louise said after a moment's thought, "I don't know much about swords, so give me the best stock in your warehouse."

"No problem" The boss turned and walked into the warehouse, and soon after, he walked out with a couple of long swords

"This one is"

"Replicas, and flaws," Chong said, glancing at the scabbard

"So this one"

"There are cracks and they break easily"

"This"

"It's too heavy, you can only chop vegetables"

"Miss Aristocracy, you really found an appraiser with a rather vicious eye," the boss wiped the cold sweat from his head

The boss thought about it, but he still didn't resist the temptation of money and pretended to be deep and said, "Then please let you see the treasure of our store."

"Louise, look, this sword seems to be very interesting," Hiraga pulled and waved the long sword

The boss of "That Sword" really couldn't laugh or cry this time, and actually let the weapon fall into the target's hand, and I wanted to introduce it domineeringly first

"Give this to my teacher," Chong, who had sharp eyes, spotted the words engraved on his body at a glance, "Those who hold this sword can"

"That's amazing! Isn't this a treasure?! Hiraga said happily

"Those who wield this sword can pray to the heavens, and the rest of the text cannot be understood," Chong retracted his gaze

"Louise, I want this sword, this sword looks like it has a big story in it," Hiraga said after waving the long sword in his hand a few times

"Just you?" The sound of talking came from nowhere

"Who?" Hiraga asked after stopping his movements

"It's in your hand," a slightly haughty voice sounded

"Wow~~~" There was no panic, and Hiraga became even more excited, "It's amazing!" This sword can talk! ”

"It's just a sword of wisdom," Louise complained, "Anyway, this sword is rusty, do you really want to use it?" ”

"Little girl, I'm not a stall you can buy home" Jian continued to speak, "Give up, I'm not interested in you children"

"Louise, I just like this" Hiraga continued, "Don't care, buy it back"

"Hey, what's your boy's name?" Jian asked suddenly

"Hiraga Cairen, what about you?"

"Delfrenger, you boy seem to have the temperament of an emissary," said Drew Fringo, "and I'll stay with you for a while."

True. The protagonist's aura is so open that he is crazy, and he actually directly attacked a sword and went home

"What a strange taste boss, how much does that sword cost?" Louise asked helplessly

"Because he's so annoying, I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time, and you've done a good thing this time," said the boss, "Three hundred gold coins are enough."

(This acting is awesome) the boss silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart

"Woo, the money is for you," Louise thought for a moment and handed the money bag to the boss

"Huh? That guy over there, you have a familiar smell on you," Drew Fringo said suddenly, "Wand? No, it seems that there is a contract."

“！！！” Chong was surprised, how did this guy know?

He gave himself three things, a book, a contract, and a weapon, of which he could throw away the book after reading it, the contract could only be summoned when he wanted to use it, and the weapon was for him to keep with him

(The origin of this sword seems to be very large) Chong thought so, after all, he even noticed this, and it seems that Hiraga has indeed picked up a good weapon

But isn't this really arranged by someone else?

Ten minutes later

"Man, it turns out that you are Tsunadaru, what an impressive"

"Where~ but you're really interesting, I can talk to you at any time" The two sides seem to be familiar with each other

Chong glanced into his palm, then fell silent

"That's all for today's shopping," Chong said, "I have something to do, I have to go first"

"Huh? But I'll forget it. Then let's talk about it next time," Louise glanced at the talented person who was chatting with "Sword" until it was in full swing, "Woo, it seems that you can't send it alone, stupid dog!" Go back! ”

(Did you get away with it?) Chong thought to himself

"The things have already been delivered, and it's their business to use them next," he unbuttoned the cloak and scarf, "Anyway, it's all things I can't use, whatever they do, it doesn't matter if they break down."

"It's time for these ancient relics to be unveiled one by one"

After all, they are all items that they are not qualified to serve
