Chapter Seventy-One: Sword Fighting
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Xiao Ke appeared in the hall under the gaze of the three shopping guides and the other Sword Casting Pavilion staff.
"These three are the three most valuable swords I have picked, and there are still a few minutes left, but I am not going to wait, please find an appraiser to come out and reveal the answer!"
Seeing that Xiao Ke brought out the three swords before the time limit, the three shopping guides looked at each other.
The challengers who came in the past were still scratching their ears and cheeks in the back hall after a long time, and they had to go in to drive them away, but Xiao Ke's abnormal behavior made them a little overwhelmed, at least, the appraiser was not in place in advance.
"I'll please!"
The third shopping guide was the first to react, and hurriedly stepped on the steps to the second floor, and after a while, he brought down an old man who was over half a hundred years old.
The old man's eyes were slightly closed, his steps were steady, and he looked like the kind of rigorous person who didn't say much.
His personality is a match for the appraiser profession.
The old man came to Xiao Ke and saw that the challenger was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old doll, and his slightly closed eyes lit up.
Then he took the three swords in Xiao Ke's hand and examined them one by one.
The fifty swords identified were all hand-picked by him, so he knew the answer well.
Now when you get the sword, you can see if it is the correct result.
After reading the three swords, the old man let out a rare sigh and said, "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, Xiaoyou's eyesight is amazing at a young age, but it's just a mistake after all."
The challenge set by this pavilion is to ask Xiaoyou to choose the three most valuable swords, and you only pick two of them, if you bring out the other purple gold sword, you can win completely.
Although the Mithril Sword you brought out was ordinary, its actual value was not comparable to that Purple Gold Sword, so the Master decided that you lost. Are you convinced?"
Xiao Ke had already expected it, so he was not surprised, but asked calmly: "Master, what if that purple gold sword is a waste product?"
"Waste, Xiaoyou, you are a little arrogant, this pavilion is produced, it must be high-quality, if you want to speak falsely again, this teacher can't spare you!"
The appraiser served the Sword Casting Pavilion, so he naturally knew the relationship between the lips and the teeth, and he also knew that there were indeed defective products in the Sword Casting Pavilion.
But he had to protect the reputation of the Sword Forge Pavilion, and besides, the fifty swords used as a challenge were all from him, and now that Xiao Ke openly said that his answer was questionable, it didn't even slap him in the face, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.
Fortunately, Xiao Ke's psychological quality was getting better and better, and after being threatened, he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "As an appraiser, the master should know that when the swordsmith is casting the sword, the amount of some rare materials mixed with it is not arbitrary.
Too much material is not only wasteful, but also the effect is not obvious, and even will produce the disadvantage of the opposite.
If it is too little, the strength of the sword will not only not increase, but will decrease, and it happens that purple gold is one of such materials.
The other purple gold sword is obviously too small in purple gold, and instead of enhancing the strength of the sword body, it has destroyed the original strength of the sword body, isn't this kind of sword a defective product?"
"This ...... Old Man Rong once again appraised another purple gold sword and then made a decision!"
The old man was woken up by Xiao Ke's words, and suddenly thought of the fact that Zijin was a special material, his forehead was full of fine sweat, and he immediately rushed into the back hall.
After a while, he appeared in front of everyone with a full face, and said weakly: "Congratulations Xiaoyou, you are right, now you can choose any sword on the first floor of this pavilion and take it away, please." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he immediately left indifferently.
After more than 30 years of working as an appraiser, today he was taught a lesson by a young man, and he felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't afford to lose his old face, so he had to run away in disgrace.
And the expressions on the faces of the three shopping guides are also wonderful, with surprise, regret, and admiration.
Xiao Ke didn't have time to deal with this group of people, and now he has successfully passed his own skills to make a good sword, of course, he must hurry up and catch it.
He didn't even take the good-looking Tibetan sword box given by the third shopping guide, and hurriedly went out.
Because he was in a hurry, he was loaded with someone.
"You don't have long eyes when you walk?"
"Whew!"
The person who came was like an iron tower, with a mighty body, dark skin, and a body of tendons and flesh that would be full of short fights.
And his temper is also very hot, just after colliding with Xiao Ke and separating, the fan-like slap followed.
The fan of the air exploded, and Xiao Ke subconsciously jumped back, dodging the slap.
But the strong wind brought by the slap still gave him a face.
It is conceivable that if this slap is taken right, it will almost have a concussion.
"This person has a lot of strength, I'm afraid he also has two thousand catties of strength, not to be underestimated!"
Xiao Ke looked up at the strong man, secretly surprised in his heart, but his body was ready to defend himself, in case the strong man suddenly attacked again.
"Huh, it's not bad to be able to dodge my slap. Let's go out and have a fight. The big man said with a fanatical expression.
"If you don't fight, I still have something. ”
Of course, Shook would not agree to do it, he would not do this kind of work that would not be profitable.
And this is someone else's store, and it will cause trouble rashly.
There is no need to do thankless work.
"It's okay if you don't fight, leave the sword in your hand!"
"Childe, I've taken a fancy to this sword!"
The first sentence was heard by the strong man to Xiao Ke, but the second sentence was said to be heard by one of the two brocade-clothed men who were blocked by him.
"Well, Tang Gongzi, what do you think, will it break the rules of your pavilion?"
"No, Wang Gongzi's business is my business, I'll take care of it. ”
The strong man glanced at Xiao Ke defiantly, letting go of his huge body, and two men behind him appeared in front of Xiao Ke talking and laughing.
One of the men in red, Tang Gongzi, walked directly in front of Xiao Ke and said proudly: "This guest, I am the young pavilion master of this pavilion, you can give this sword, boss, return him 100,000 taels of golden tickets!"
Anyway, regardless of whether Xiao Ke agreed or not, one hand naturally put on the sword in Xiao Ke's hand and wanted to draw it.
When the first shopping guide saw the return of his young owner, he wanted to pounce early, but due to his status and public reasons, he has been suppressed.
Now that he heard the master's order, he hurriedly came up and said, "Young master, you can't retreat for 100,000 taels, but this guest has completed the appraisal challenge." ”
"Oh, is it?" Tang Gongzi was obviously a little surprised, and said with a smile evilly: "Then return a thousand taels and find a new golden ticket, we can't do the business of the shopkeeper bullying customers!"
Tang Gongzi was very melancholy, the challenge of the appraisal task was originally set up as a gimmick, and after more than ten years, there was another guest who successfully completed the appraisal task, this frequency is a bit frequent, he wondered, should the appraiser at home be changed.
"Okay. The first shopping guide was satisfied, twisting the water snake step to the counter to get the money, what she wanted was Xiao Ke's dissatisfaction.
"Hmm, this little guest, still doesn't let go, what does this mean?"
Tang Gongzi pulled it a few times, and the sword was as long as it grew in Xiao Ke's hand, not moving at all, and he was immediately unhappy, he looked around, there were not a few pedestrians walking on the street, and it was a good time for him to stage a big bully.
Xiao Ke's heart was very angry at this time, but he restrained it.
Anger can vent the dissatisfaction in your heart, but it will not do you the slightest benefit to protect the sword in your hand, and it will only mess things up.
Suffer a little loss, successfully bring the sword out, the future is very long, the island is not big, as long as you are careful, you can always find an opportunity to repair these bastards.
After calming down his emotions, Xiao Ke said in a deep voice: "I finally got this sword, and I won't sell it." ”
Tang Gongzi scratched his ears very chicly, and said domineeringly: "Heh, this prince is the young pavilion master of the Sword Casting Pavilion......"
"The young pavilion master can't do it, you have to talk about the rules!"
"Okay, you have to talk about the rules, right, this is my shop, this sword is also my sword, you are still in the store, the sword is still in the store, whether you have completed the challenge task or spent money to buy it, this son can take it back. I'm telling you now, I'm not selling, get out!"
"Ridiculous, this sword was obtained by my strength, and it was already my sword before you came. Since your pavilion dares to set rules, then you must abide by the rules, and if you dare to speak, you must dare to act. Don't do anything wrong with your own signboard. ”
Tang Gongzi's face was blue and purple because of Xiao Keqi, and his chest kept rising and falling.
I didn't dare to beckon my little brother to come up and repair Xiao Ke, this kind of thing is very useful for those who are timid and afraid.
But it's useless to deal with a strongman like Xiao Ke, who looks like a hard bone.
Wang Gongzi on the side is obviously the kind of lord who is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement, and this is a very opportune time to say: "Brother Tang, since there is a difficulty, forget it, just a sword, I will let my servant pick another one, don't ruin your family's reputation." ”
Originally, Tang Gongzi wanted to retreat, the reputation of his store was important, although there was no one at this time, but it was also a blue sky, and it was easy to attract the hatred of others by openly doing some forced buying and selling.
Once this thing gets out, the island will be so big, and after a day's work, the reputation of your own store will stink.
Then, his ass will be beaten by the old pavilion master, and he will even be confined and confined again, which is really impossible to draw.
But his friend, Wang Gongzi, is good, and he seems to be kind and persuasive, but in fact it adds fuel to the fire.
Tang Gongzi is a person with a good face, how can a person with a good face let his friends retreat to the second, especially on his own territory, he immediately waved his hand, and his whole body exuded an atmosphere that wrapped this matter on me.
shouted at Xiao Ke: "Okay, you have a kind, you want to talk about the rules, right, then I'll talk to you about the rules."
I'll set a new rule for you now, since ancient times, swords are matched with heroes, since both of you have taken a fancy to this sword, I won't say who you prefer, then you can compare a sword, win the sword, lose and get out, can it be considered fair?"
Xiao Ke originally intended to refuse such imposed terms, but he also knew that the young pavilion master in front of him was already a madman, and it was useless to continue to talk about it, it was better to really win against that big guy, and then see what other face he had to continue, so he agreed to this competition.
