Rizhao is best known for its variety of ores excavated from the Thundering Mountains, and as a result, a large number of artisans have been attracted to the area, either actively or passively.

Sherlock rushed to Rizhao this time to find someone to help process the dragon lich's dragon crystal.

As the energy core of the dragon, the value of the dragon crystal is immeasurable, even if it is a dragon crystal of a dragon lich, it is still too wasteful to make an ordinary excellent piece of equipment.

Rizhao is not far from Baitan, on the edge of the Thundering Mountains, and it doesn't take half a day to ride the Thestrals.

When Sherlock landed at the gate of the town, the deafening roar and the chaotic sound of striking iron were heard.

As far as the eye can see, the whole town is surrounded by a thick gray-yellow fog, which in modern language is explained to be a combination of sulphur dioxide, soot and fugitive emission dust.

Thanks to the inaction of the town's rulers, Rizhao has won the title of the worst town in the environment, and it is also the largest smuggling base in the valley, where many materials and equipment that are prohibited from sale can be obtained, provided you have enough access.

Since Sherlock dared to come here, of course, he was not unprepared, and after groping all the way according to the address on the map, he came to a humble workshop.

The owners of the workshop are three halflings, the Mishak brothers, who are engaged in the OEM business on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are the top three individual smugglers in Rizhao.

They are not very large, and they rarely trade in bulk, but they take everything, they sell everything, and most importantly, the price is very fair.

The reason why they came here is also because the craftsmanship of the three Mishak brothers is really good, they are used to seeing good things, and their level in basic skills such as mysterious knowledge, natural knowledge, and historical knowledge is quite high, and they are specialized in magic items and strange objects, which is the best choice for processing dragon crystals.

According to a friend, the shop is quite lively, especially at night, and sometimes there are queues for hours, but as soon as Sherlock entered the shop, he saw that there were only a few scattered customers in the entire workshop except for three halflings, and there was not even a part-time apprentice.

After looking at it suspiciously for more than ten minutes, a halfling man walked over.

"Half-elf, I'm Mishak, I don't know what you need." The halfling said as he handed over a glass of butterbeer.

The three Mishak brothers are triplets, they have exactly the same appearance, and they all call themselves Mishak to the outside world.

"I want to ask if you can handle this." Sherlock took the beer but didn't drink it, and with a shake of his hand, a gray crystal fell out of the ring.

He could feel that Mishak was visibly excited when he saw this dragon crystal, but he immediately restrained himself in an instant

"The dragon crystal of the dragon lich is indeed a very rare thing, and I can give 50,000 gold coins if you want to make a move." Mishak said indifferently.

Sherlock did not expose the other party's little tricks, and affirmed: "No, no, no, Mr. Mishak, you misunderstood, I wanted to ask if you could help me unleash the true power of this dragon crystal." ”

"The dragon crystal of the dragon lich is only, the dragon power in it has long been lost, and the remaining bit is still contaminated with the breath of necromancy, how can there be any real power, you should have also inquired, you will not suffer a loss of 50,000 gold coins."

"Forget it, I'm not short of the 50,000 gold coins, let's go to Hattie to make a scimitar." Sherlock said and pretended to leave.

Hattie is the most famous dwarven blacksmith in Rizhao.

He has also been playing the game for so many years, and he has not used the routines in the transaction and has seen it I don't know how many times, since he sees that the other party wants this dragon crystal, he will still use the ability to indulge in lust.

It stands to reason that the three Mishak brothers have made such a big business in Rizhao, so they will not lower their posture for the sake of this dragon crystal, but combined with the current situation in Rizhao, there is nothing more precious than this dragon crystal of the dragon lich.

"Adventurer, don't be impulsive, you have something to say."

Under the persuasion of the three halflings, Sherlock stopped, he was actually very curious why the other party wanted this dragon crystal, because this thing really didn't have much use.

"Adventurer, we can tell you what this dragon crystal does, but afterwards you must sell this dragon crystal to us, double the price, or, you can choose something of the same value from our collection, trust us, you will not regret it."

This condition is actually logical, the dragon crystal has been sold to you, what is the use of knowing the role of the dragon crystal.

But Sherlock's original purpose was to maximize the use of this dragon crystal, and the value of 100,000 yuan was far beyond his psychological estimate, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would not give a higher price if he didn't know the relevant effects of this dragon crystal.

"Then I'll take a look at your collection before deciding whether to sell or trade."

"No problem!" The three Mishaks said in unison, then picked up the lamp and led Sherlock to the basement.

"Adventurer, I don't know if you've heard of the war between Sethren Valley and Bow Valley back then."

"I've heard a little."

"Well, it is rumored that thousands of the inhabitants of the Sethren Valley were slaughtered by the soldiers of the Bow Valley."

"Their souls after death have been transformed into ghosts by the Lord of Twilight using a wicked sorcery."

"In the end, it was General Akon who slew the Lord of Dusk and suppressed the countless ghosts with the sword of Dusk."

The three halflings were clearly not satisfied with mere narration, and in addition to their emotional language, they also accompanied Sherlock with physical performances, but this sole audience member did not seem to buy them.

"Adventurer, did you listen?"

"The Sword of Dusk, don't you, you go on, and I listen?" Sherlock replied absentmindedly.

The three Mishak brothers have been operating in Rizhao for so many years, and of course there will be no shortage of good things, materials, equipment, magic props, strange things, and even pet eggs.

Faced with this whole warehouse of treasures, he really didn't have the heart to listen to these boring histories, so he could only spend 50 gold coins to open the recording mode in case he needed it.

"It's been almost 100 years since the fall of the Sethren Valley, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, the heavily guarded Sword of Twilight was suddenly stolen."

"And then the whole of Rizhao's illustrious people began to die one after another." A halfling said that he was still really falling to the ground, and the appearance of the victims was staged.

"Rumor has it that the ghost of the Dusk Lord is at work to kill all the descendants of the soldiers who attacked the Sethren Valley a century ago on the occasion of his Centennial Festival."

"So for our personal safety, we need to be prepared for a little protection."

"Aren't you halflings, probably not the descendants of those soldiers?" Sherlock played with a scabbard and said thoughtfully.
