Aryad Domain, Dragon City

The realm of ariad was the sanctuary of the Hongjun Empire, as the central city-state of this realm was the imperial capital of Chihongcheng. As a city in the northern part of the Aryad realm, Longcheng is an important transportation hub and liaison station, and it is known as the "three major barriers" from the north to the Central Plains along with the Black Rock City and the Buri City in the north.

After Dongfang Ziyan left Dongyi, Tong Yan Wei took a long-distance tram (a transportation appliance created by alchemy machinery, using mechanical power generation power technology, which is generally opened between cities, but the cost is very high, and ordinary people can't afford to sit down) to the Aryad realm, and it took three days to reach Dragon City, the place where Shangguan Yuanji made an appointment.

After Ziyan arrived in Dragon City, he used the Transmission Jade to find Yuan Ji, but the signal wave of the Communication Jade seemed to be too short to contact Yuan Ji.

So...... He had no choice but to wander around the street with Yan Wei.

"Young Master, do you think Yuan Ji has arrived?" Yan Wei and Ziyan walked side by side.

"Don't worry, anyway, the conflict with my father has been resolved." Ziyan smiled and said, "We've only been here for a day, and if Yuan Ji comes, we'll definitely find it." ”

"I always feel that the young master's father is not such a fierce person." Yan Wei said thoughtfully.

"When have you seen my father?" Ziyan asked.

"It was while I was waiting for you in the bathroom of the auction house that your father came out wearing a mask, and he took off his mask and said hello to me." Yan Weihan said with a smile.

Dongfang Ziyan muttered: "No wonder I was asked to go out separately from him at that time, it turned out that I was going to climb relatives......"

"What?" Yan Wei heard him whispering.

"Nothing, nothing! There's a shop here, let's go in and have a look! Ziyan took Yan Wei's hand in a hurry and walked into a nearby store, Ziyan was so careless this time that he entered the store without even looking at the class.

The decoration of this shop is very quaint, although the store is on the street, it is very inconspicuous, and the small sign at the door clearly says two very strange words - come.

Ziyan and Yan Wei entered the store and found that this store was very mysterious, and the curtains were not even drawn in broad daylight, and it was dark inside, which was easy to think that this was not a serious place.

Yan Wei grabbed Ziyan's arm, "Young Master, why is it so scary here." ”

The store was quiet, and the shelves were full of items, Ziyan took a closer look, almost all of them were magic weapons or magic weapons, there were many antique shops like this, but it was the first time Ziyan had seen such a mysterious shop. Usually, this kind of shop for buying antique artifacts is usually run by bounty hunters or casual cultivators (an organized industry in which several or more monks gather together to catch spirit animals or collect artifacts and sell them).

Ziyan and Yan Wei walked around the store for most of the time, there was not even a person, the inside of the hall was very dark, and Ziyan did not rush in out of politeness.

Suddenly, Ziyan saw something on the display table at the front desk, and his eyes were fixed on that thing and he refused to leave.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Wei asked curiously.

Ziyan was looking at a sandalwood box, and there was a worn-out parchment roll in the box, "This box is very precious, and most people will take a fancy to this box when they come here, but I think this parchment is 10,000 times more precious than that box." ”

"Huh?" Yan Wei didn't understand.

In the dark part of the inner hall, an old man walked out with a smile on his face, and said across the table: "It seems that there are experts in our store today, I am very honored." The old man held a teapot in his hand and bowed respectfully.

"Juniors don't dare, Your Excellency is the shopkeeper here, right?" Dongfang Ziyan hurriedly returned the salute.

"I heard the little brother just now say that the value of the parchment roll is higher than the sandalwood box, how can you see it?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"The younger generation has little knowledge, just talk about it casually, I hope the shopkeeper will forgive me," Dongfang Ziyan bowed, "The younger generation heard that the parchment roll is worth a fortune, and a parchment roll can be exchanged for a city, and it is a precious ancient book that has been circulated in ancient times, but if it is fake, it is..."

"Yes, the real parchment is priceless, but if it is fake, it is worthless," said the old man who stretched out his freshly withered hands, and slowly unfolded the parchment, and when it was fully unfolded, five dried things hung on the scroll.

Yan Wei couldn't understand it, and asked Ziyan: "Young master, what is that?" ”

Ziyan looked at it in surprise: "This is... ”

"Yes, a real parchment scroll has the fingers of the previous owner, and in order to prove the preciousness of the parchment scroll, the owner will cut off his little finger and hang it on it, so as to prove the value of the parchment." Said the shopkeeper.

"There are five fingers here, which means that he has five masters." Dongfang Ziyan sighed lightly, "In the past, I only heard about the legend of the parchment roll, but it was really eye-opening to see it today." ”

"It's scary, young master, let's go quickly." Yan Wei pulled Ziyan.

Dongfang Ziyan said: "The ancient books of the parchment scroll are rare, and we will leave later." After speaking, Ziyan asked the old man with a smile: "Shopkeeper, the junior wants to buy this sheepskin, dare to ask the price..."

"Although this sheepskin is worthless, the ancient characters on it are priceless and will not be sold." Said the shopkeeper.

"This is not the principle of hospitality, since I can find the value of this parchment roll in many mundane things, it means that I am related to him, and I will ask the store manager to make a price." Ziyan said.

"Okay... Businessmen are here to make money." After saying that, the store manager shook his head and stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty thousand?" Dongfang Ziyan was about to pay for it, but the store manager spoke again.

"Fifty million." The store manager said in a stiff tone, his eyes very low in the dark.

"Fifty million!! Old man, you are a fool! Yan Wei suddenly burst into foul language.

Ziyan was also frightened by this sky-high price.

"Although the words on this parchment scroll are obscure, they are worth half a billion in the hands of useful people." The store manager said slowly.

Dongfang Ziyan looked in the phagoagosac, shook his head and said, "Forget it, we don't have that much money." After speaking, he bowed and prepared to leave with Yan Wei.

The store manager was about to walk to the inner hall, when his eyes inadvertently swept over Ziyan's waist, and when he saw the string of sac seating belts, he couldn't help but stop Ziyan: "Little brother! Where did you get this belt? ”

Ziyan looked back curiously and looked at his belt, "This was given to me by my father, what's wrong?" ”

The shopkeeper seemed excited, "That's a sac on it?" ”

"Exactly." Ziyan said.

Suddenly, the store manager's hand waved, "That's it, this parchment roll, I've sent it to you." ”
