72. Buy a Sealed Chest
All these years, Justes has lived in seclusion on the island of Dunai, where he runs a tavern that sells information.
This tavern is home to thieves from the nearby seas, who at first only sell the private information of some of the island's nobles, and the thieves here are like private detectives in my original world, their main business is to listen to all kinds of information, and of course there are many thieves who are not so clean. However, the tavern became more and more famous in circles, and many thieves came to visit it, and the thieves decided to establish a thief guild based on the tavern.
Justes is not involved in the management of the Thieves' Union, but provides office space for the Thieves' Union. After a long time, Justes and the thieves' union got along well, and gradually formed an alliance of coexistence and co-prosperity, and Justes also went from the front to the background, and the thieves' union destroyed all the news that was unfavorable to Justus, so as to protect Justus.
Although Justes' mother, the Siren Lady, died a long time ago, Justus has not forgotten his mother's last wish, and is still persistently collecting information about the Pirate King's treasure, and has been searching for the whereabouts of the Pirate King's treasure and soul horn.
According to the information that Justs has learned, the half of the treasure map that has been kept in the hands of the eldest son of the Pirate King disappeared on the night of the pirate collective rebellion, and it is not known who the half of the treasure map fell into, but according to Gatterst's guess, the person who stole the half of the treasure map must have been a pirate who participated in the rebellion, and should have a certain status among the pirates.
Another rumor said that the half of the treasure map kept in the hands of the second son of the pirate king was actually snatched by the sea monster. However, Justes says that the Pirate King's eldest son teamed up with his mother to kill the Pirate King's second son, but that half of the treasure map had actually fallen into the hands of the Naga Sea Clan.
Originally, the second son of the Pirate King wanted to use that half of the treasure map as a stepping stone to join forces with the Naga Sea Clan on Vaskiki Island to deal with his brother, but unfortunately he was too late to start, and before the Naga Sea Clan could rush for reinforcements, he was killed by his brother in the sea fog.
These old things are like invisible shackles, tied to Justes.
I sat in front of him and asked him, "Am I really worthy of your trust?"
He stretched out his trembling hand, grabbed my arm, leaned forward, and said to me in a hurried voice, "I can feel that you are different from everyone else, you should always give me some hope!"
His hands were clutching me, his palms were wet and cold, and his hands were very strong.
"I promise you, after finding the Pirate King's treasure and the soul horn, I will only borrow that horn to hold a soul ceremony, and after the ceremony is successfully completed, I will return the soul horn to its original owner, this is my promise to you, maybe I should give you a magic contract, what is written on paper, far more binding than the most spoken. I said to Justes.
He shook his head and said, "No need, I believe - a nobleman who can make orcs willing to become followers, honesty and trustworthiness should only be your basic virtues. ”
"So, we should have a good talk about how we should work together next. I took Justes' hand and said to him.
"I've told you everything I know, but it doesn't seem so easy to find those two treasure maps on that alone these days. Justes said to me.
That being said, I always felt that the treasure map found on Johnny Jones' ship was probably half a Pirate King's treasure map, if that was the case......
Another possibility occurred to me, so I asked Justus, "There's something I've been thinking about for a long time, and I've never figured it out." If we get half of the treasure map, can we guess the exact location of the treasure based on the features of the sea and the islands depicted on the half of the treasure map?"
Unexpectedly, I just blurted out this question and got an affirmative answer from Justes: "This plan doesn't work, someone has tried it before." ”
The El Hierro woman on the side helped him straighten the cushions so that he could lie down more comfortably.
Then Justes said to me: "As far as I know, the treasure map is not a chart divided in two, it should be like a key, and my mother once told me that only by finding a complete treasure map can the door to the treasure house be opened." ”
I gently pressed my sore head with my hand and said, "It's a headache! But we can make a plan." ”
I said to him, "On the Naga Sea Clan's side, maybe I can find a way to get in touch, I know a Naga princess, I think it's nothing more than a conflict of interests, if we can convince them to cooperate with us and share the Pirate King's treasure, there's no reason why they shouldn't accept it!"
"It's great that you know the Nagahai!" said Justus excitedly.
I touched the bridge of my nose a little embarrassed, and said honestly: "Well, in fact, I don't know that Naga Hai princess very well, but my good brother is very familiar with her. ”
"Oh, yes!"
It occurred to me that Justus had been suffering from the 'addiction' caused by the 'demon's blood', and I looked down and rummaged through my magical fanny pack to find some potions that had been formulated for Sue to relieve the pain of 'addiction'.
Actually, this is not a potion at all, it is just a potion diluted with the 'Shadow Body' potion, and after drinking it, it will enter a semi-psychedelic state.
In fact, it can only be regarded as a small amount of 'demon's blood', which can only alleviate the pain caused by 'drug addiction'.
I handed a small bottle of potion to Justus and said to him, "You can drink a little bit when you are most in pain, it can help you get through that unbearable pain, but it is not medicine, it will not cure your addiction." ”
Justus took the little vial with a blank look on his face, and then asked me, "What can I do to get rid of that demon?"
"There is no good medicine that can cure your addiction, all you can rely on is your own inner and spiritual world that is slowly becoming stronger. I said to Justes.
For a moment, Justes's face became very bad, and he looked at the potion bottle in his hand in a daze, and was silent for a long time.
......
There is a large free market on the island of Dunai, and the reason why this free market is so prosperous is that the island of Dunai is one of the few natural harbors in the waters east of Vasqui.
In addition, the security here is not bad, and many merchant ships are willing to dock at Tounai to trade, so a large market has spawned near the dock of Tounai.
There are many kinds of goods in the market, ranging from all kinds of wood to repair the keel of the ship's main keel, to the exquisite brooches on the placket, and there are people who sell the leather and magic cores of sea beasts, and there are also people who sell grain, ironware, copperware, cotton and linen, pottery, etc., there are many kinds of goods, and there are many shops along the street, and there are many people gathered on the street.
Looking at the bustling crowd, it's hard to imagine. This is due to the outbreak of the Plane War, and a lot of business on the island of Dunai has become much more depressed, according to Duke Wheeler, the flow of people in the free market in the past is many times higher than it is now.
Our group was standing at the door of a magic shop called 'Mock Murk', a magic red copper sign dangling on the crossbar, there was no text on it, only simple magic lines, and it was roughly obvious that a magic chest and a bottle of magic potion were drawn on it, which was originally a magic shop specializing in magic boxes and magic herbs.
The magic shop was a bit deserted, and occasionally a few merchants walked in, most of them would leave disappointed after a while.
Duke Wheeler wore a crisp gown, a lean body with a full rack of clothes, and a tailor-made gown that fit well.
He put one hand on my shoulder, looked at the plaque and said to me: "It's all because of the plane war! You must also know something, there is hardly a single magic herb that can be found in the market of the entire Vasqi plane, and those magic herbs are completely controlled by the local nobles, and I don't know how long this kind of magic herb is scarce at the moment!"
"The situation on Conason Island is even worse than on this side, and many magic shops are unable to open and have been forced to close. I said to Duke Wheeler.
As he spoke, Duke Wheeler's attendant pushed open the door of the magic shop for us, and I walked into the magic shop side by side with Duke Wheeler, the inside of the magic shop was deserted, many shelves were empty, and a waiter stood at the door, saw us enter the store, hurriedly greeted us, and asked us, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Duke Wheeler's gaze swept over the empty shelves, and the waiter's expression darkened, and he hurriedly said to Duke, "Sorry, if the two customers want to buy magic herbs, all the magic herbs in the store have been sold out, and there are no magic herbs left." ”
At this time, my eyes fell on the large and small magic boxes of different shapes on the other side of the shelf.
Clearly distinguished from the empty shelves in the herb area of the store, the other side of this shop is full of magic sealing boxes, each of which is painted with some complicated magic arrays, and the center of the magic array is inlaid with some magic crystal fragments, and some magic power flows out from the magic sealing box from time to time, so that in the room here, a magic glimmer floats from time to time.
"Who said we're going to buy magic herbs?" said Duke Wheeler, his voice a little shrill with an arrogant look.
When the waiter saw Duke Wheeler's swagger, he said even more cautiously, "So, what do you want to buy?"
Hearing the waiter's question, I turned around and pointed to the Demon Sealing Box shelf on the other side of the shelf, and said to him, "I want to pick a few Demon Sealing Boxes!"
When the waiter heard me say that he wanted to buy a magic box, he immediately looked happy, and hurriedly led us to the shelves full of magic boxes, and said to me: "We have nine types of magic boxes of all sizes, I don't know what type of magic box the guests need?"
I patted a magic sealing box with a length of two meters and a height of one meter on the ground with my hand, the magic sealing box was wrapped with a layer of magic rune plate plated with mythril plate, the lines of the magic pattern circle on the rune board appeared very smooth, and at some turning points on the magic pattern, there were no obvious traces of magic power leakage, although the magic crystal fragments in the gem groove in the center of the magic circle had been exhausted, but I have to say that this was a well-made magic sealing box.
"Ah, this one you chose is the largest magic sealing box in our store, do you really want to buy it?" The waiter didn't expect me to choose the largest magic sealing box in the store, his eyes widened, and after looking at me for a while, seeing that I didn't change my mind, he introduced to me: "This magic sealing box is well-made, in the hands of famous master craftsmen, it has almost no shortcomings except for its large size." ”
I smiled and said to him, "You probably haven't told me how many shard fragments it consumes every day!"
At this time, the waiter did not have the slightest embarrassment at my words, and the waiter looked at me with a look in his eyes that clearly said, 'You are a knowledgeable person. ’
"It consumes a standard shard every month. The waiter said to me.
As if to make amends for the bad impression he had left on me, he suggested to me, "If you have enough magic items to keep and fill this magic chest, then it will be a good deal for you to buy it." ”
Then he said to me: "If you don't have enough magic items to fill this magic box, then I suggest you can also buy a small one or two size box, this one hundred and twenty centimeters long, sixty centimeters high, will only consume a magic crystal fragment in two months, and its price is only half of this large magic box." ”
(A standard magic crystal fragment is equivalent to one-tenth of a magic crystal, but the price is only about sixty or seventy silver coins, and ten magic crystal fragments cannot be exchanged for a whole magic crystal.) )
"This kind of large magic box, speaking of which, is not the best-selling model in our store, if you want a more flexible magic box, there is also a portable one, this kind of magic box is the best-selling, it is very convenient to carry. At this time, the waiter pulled out a more delicate demon sealing box from the counter and placed it in front of me.
It's just that I haven't taken my eyes off the large demon sealing box, and after listening to him, I looked up and asked the waiter: "How much stock is in your store's warehouse for this kind of large magic sealing box?"
When the waiter heard me ask, he was a little speechless, and only after a while did he say: "The sales of this kind of large-sized magic sealing box have not been very good, so there are probably more than 30 in the library of this type of magic sealing box!"
I pointed to the kind of magic sealing box that was only one size smaller, with a length of 180 centimeters and a width of 90 centimeters, and asked the waiter, "What about this kind of magic sealing box, how much have you saved?"
"The sales of this kind of magic sealing box have been okay, and there are probably more than 50 of them in the warehouse. The waiter looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I kept asking about inventory.
At this time, I patted the largest magic sealing box with my hand, and patted the smaller one again, and said to the waiter: "Then, I buy this largest magic sealing box, and this slightly smaller one, although it is a little smaller, but it can barely be used!"
"Excuse me, how many large Demon Sealing Boxes and how many No. 2 Demon Sealing Boxes do you want to buy?" the waiter's eyes immediately lit up when he heard me say this, and he asked me excitedly.
"Oh...... ...... in your stores and warehouses All of these two types of magic chests!" I said to him with a calm expression as I looked at the waiter.
