31. I think except for the two fools, they basically know who that is

"Everything, Your Highness," said the shopkeeper, clasping his hands to his chest, but only his excessively long sleeves appeared, "then, what do you order?" ”

"I'll take a look before I speak," Arthas walked around the shop with a nonchalant attitude, "you take care of yourself." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After dismissing the seemingly unreliable shopkeeper, Arthas observed the shopkeeper himself.

Frankly, it's a nice looking shop, and although it's not very big, except for the small counter, the rest of the place is filled with all kinds of small goods, books, and all kinds of parts, and although it looks crowded, it is surprisingly not very messy. And next to the counter, a very rudimentary ladder leads to the second floor, or the workshop in the back? Although curious about what was there, Arthas would not snoop on the other party's secrets without the owner's permission.

"So, what is this for?"

After walking around twice, Alsace picked up a small box very casually, reached out and checked it, and found that it was not very heavy, and the pattern on the surface of the box was also very exquisite, which seemed to be a handmade work of art.

"Oh, that's a music box bomb that explodes when the music finishes."

"Uh......" Arthas shuddered as he quickly put the dangerous thing back and chose another one instead, "What about this one?" ”

"Small laser gun, used for assassination."

"This?"

"Arcane Charge Module, it's still something in the experiment, but it's easy to explode......"

"What about this?"

"This is Oreja steel, my new thing, but now it's just a fishing rod, used to fish kings."

"It's a miracle that Antonidas didn't get rid of you, the engineer hiding in the mage city......" Arthas put down his fishing rod and shook his head in surprise, "And most of them are dangerous goods, should I find someone to control them?" ”

"No, no, no, dear Highness, it's wrong for you to do this," the shopkeeper shook his head with a very knowledgeable look, "Even if the mages experiment, won't they explode?" Just two days ago, there was a huge experimental accident in the enchantment area next door, so that the intensity of the arcane radiation of the entire Dalaran increased by a few standard values, but the elves were better off in the aftermath. ”

"So you're going to put what's going to explode where who's going to get it?"

"So, if it weren't for someone like Your Highness, I wouldn't have let them touch these dangerous things," the shopkeeper jumped back behind the counter, "Of course, even Your Highness, it's because Esni is by your side that I dare to let Your Highness do this." ”

"Wow, you're so good?" Arthas looked back at the girl, but saw that the other party was also looking back at him, and he couldn't see any reaction other than the bland, so he had to shrug his shoulders and turn around and continue to say to the shopkeeper, "Although I probably know that Esney is extraordinary, but compared to this, except for these dangerous items, you don't have anything to recommend?" ”

"What a picky Highness," the shopkeeper clasped his hands to his chest and looked very distressed, "Let me think about it, as the prince of Lordaeron, His Highness should not lack anything, right...... What do you think of this? ”

"Oh?"

Arthas reached out and took the object that the other party pushed out of the counter, and when he picked it up, he found that it was a small box that looked close to hexagon, and the shell was made of metal, silver-gray patent leather, which was very stylish. Upon opening the case, Arthas found what appeared to be a glass screen underneath the clamshell, but with a six-pointed star groove on the screen, and a circular groove at each vertex.

"What is this?"

"This is the communication device, Your Highness," the shopkeeper leaned forward with his hands propped up on the table, "and these grooves are for the core of the communication. ”

"The core of communications? In other words, which thing is the one that determines the basis of communication? "What about the principle of communication?" Creating invisible waves through arcane energy? ”

"That's a good idea, worthy of the man who created the Word Spell," the shopkeeper looked at Arthas with some surprise, "but that's not the case, in fact, this device can only communicate between the same cores...... Look, let's say these two. ”

The shopkeeper himself took out a hexagonal box, took out a silver-white round bead and fastened it to it, and then handed another one that looked exactly the same.

"I don't see anything special...... Alsace installed the parts on the box in his hand, and then looked up at the other party, and saw the shopkeeper stretch out his sleeve and click on his box, and then, in the box in his hand, the white bead lit up like this, and at the same time, the silvery-white light that was exactly the same as the bead also spread out from the vertex, gradually filling the entire hexagonal track, "Huh......"

"Ahem, audition, audition~"

The shopkeeper put his box to his lips and said a few words, and after a few seconds, the machine in Arthas's hand flashed, and then the voice of a child before the voice-changing period that belonged to the shopkeeper sounded.

"I see," Arthas nodded, "what's the principle?" ”

"Arcane Resonance Effect," the shopkeeper erected the machine in his hand and pointed out to Arthas, "This shell, itself is made of a combination of rune steel and black iron, and it has a certain arcane conductivity, and at the same time, it can also isolate the interference of external arcane energy fluctuations, and this core is a special material called moonstone, after my special treatment, moonstone of the same trait will have a resonance effect, so it can be used to transmit information...... Of course, a certain amount of distortion is indispensable. ”

Arthas thought about it for a moment, and the voice that had just come from him was indeed a little deeper, and nodded immediately.

"And what do you think of this thing?" Seeing Arthas nodding, the shopkeeper smiled like a cat's mouth, "Aren't you interested?" ”

"Indeed......" Alsace nodded, "it's interesting. ”

"So...... Look at the price......"

"Two gold coins," Arthas reached out and placed two new Minecil II coins minted by Lordaeron on the counter, "50 silver coins for materials, 25 silver coins for the labor fee, and the rest of the investment in research and development, what do you think of such a price?" ”

Unlike the era of large-scale gold mining in the future, which was spawned by large-scale and fierce wars, the current gold coins have not yet faced the dilemma of inflation, so two gold coins are enough to buy a year's worth of supplies for a long journey, although it is not a large price, but it is a good bid for a small thing.

"Really, it's amazing," the shopkeeper nodded subconsciously, and then said in an exclamatory tone, "I didn't expect that I wouldn't have a chance to refute at all, this is really ......"

"Your self-confidence is too high, and although gnomes are not common these days, your disguise may not be perfect," Arthas said with a smile as he looked at the shopkeeper with emotion, "I'm talking about the shopkeeper who is much younger than me - or, Lord Mana?" ”

“…… His Highness's acumen is really," the emerald green eyes looked at Arthas for a moment, and Manna sighed, "Well, I lost, indeed, it's more accurate than looking at a person's gaze." ”

"Speaking of which, I'm curious...... "Alsace asked, "where did the name Eisni come from?" ”

"You've called it that yourself......" the girl was speechless, "I don't remember saying my name like that." ”

"My words...... It's just a nickname, but you said it too......" Alsace looked back at the shopkeeper, "I don't know your name for this brown thing." ”

"Hey, hey, I have a name!"

"Because this guy got my name from another guy's mouth...... Nicknames," the girl explained, "but, presumably, because the open-mouthed man was too gullible to tell me my real name." ”

"I see," Arthas nodded, feeling the doting implied under the girl's faint tone, "Is it a brother?" ”

"It's my sister," said the girl, "but it's a different sister...... If Your Highness sees her, you must remain calm. ”

"Looks like it's an arcane creation? Arcane golems? Looking at the mechanical environment around him, Arthas felt that his poor imagination could not be diverted too much, "Or is it an engineering creation?" ”

"It's more exaggerated than that," said the girl, "for now...... It was not yet the time for Her Highness to meet her. ”

"But it's ......," Mna interjected, but was immediately blocked by the girl's gaze.

"You've only piqued my curiosity...... But this should also be a test, right? Arthas looked at Manna and smiled, then turned back to the girl and said, "So compared to that sister who doesn't know what it is, I'm curious about you now, for example, for you, who even this brown-yellow genius over here, is there anything that can make you show a more obvious expression?" ”

"Everybody has something that he is not good at, Your Highness," replied the girl, "so it is better not to overestimate people like me. ”

"So...... No one tells you that your style of behavior doesn't match your appearance at all......" Alsace sighed, "why am I surrounded by such little freaks who don't look like children?" ”

"Probably because of ......," the girl smiled, "Your Highness, you are the most freaked of all." ”
