Far from being impressed, Gallo was a little impatient.

What he wanted to buy was obviously not this kind of puppet.

The 'soul' of this shopkeeper is also very nonsense in his opinion.

These puppets are just pretty, they look more like humans, they can't weave knots, they can't knit sweaters, they can't cook, they can't punch enemies into pies.

Compared to their own little donkeys, the gap between these puppets is too big!

However, there was one thing in the store that caught Gallo's attention.

It was a pile of books on the shelves.

They are also technical books such as "Basic Theory of Puppets", "Maintenance and Maintenance of Puppets", "Guide to Puppet Operation" and so on.

In this day and age, people's minds and ideas are not so open, and technical books are not so easy to buy, just as priests and mages do not put books on magic and magic on the shelves.

And magic puppets are originally a relatively niche and unpopular discipline, and the knowledge related to them is naturally a very rare thing.

So Gallo pointed to the books and asked:

"Do these books sell?"

The young shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then said rather embarrassed:

"Strictly speaking, these books are not put out for sale... They are giveaways, which are equivalent to the instructions for the puppets. ”

"Then I just want to buy these books, okay?"

Gallo followed suit.

The young man showed an embarrassed expression and said hesitantly:

"Guest, this is not in order..."

He then asked:

"Guest, you don't want to learn how to make a puppet by yourself through these books, do you?"

"Then with all due respect, this is impossible, puppets are quite esoteric and complex subjects, and what can be recorded in books is only a few of them, and your ideas may be a little whimsical..."

Gallo hurriedly waved his hand and explained:

"No, no, no, I'm just going to study the puppet."

Of course, he also agrees that puppets are a complex science, and he doesn't hope that he can learn anything by reading books.

All his purpose was to study some of the principles and apply them to his own enchantment, he didn't think about making a puppet or anything, there was no need for that, Amiya was enough.

After listening to Gallo's statement, the young shopkeeper seemed to choose to believe it, and then sighed:

"Are you actually planning to do research? Are you a mage? ”

In an unpopular discipline like puppetry, in addition to the puppeteer who makes the puppet, only mages are generally interested in it.

But he looked at Gallo's robe again, and it was obvious that the priest was dressed...

How can a person with a rigid mindset like a priest be interested in a puppet? Shouldn't they be very resistant to puppets?

There are quite a few sects that consider the puppet to be unclean and evil, and even think that it is some kind of blasphemous foolishness, and they resist it.

Although a large sect like the Divine Light Sect does not have such a statement, it is somewhat affected by it and is not very interested in magic puppets.

So the shopkeeper subconsciously thought that Gallo was a mage, but looking at his dress and temperament, he looked more like a priest?

And Gallo's face at this time was already very ugly, and he was extremely unhappy, and even wanted to beat someone.

You actually say I'm a mage?

Do you know that the thing I hate most besides cultists is mages?

Believe it or not, I let you be reborn to be a mage?

If it weren't for the fact that these books were really hard to find, Gallo would have scolded and slammed the door.

In the end, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again:

"Do you sell these books?"

The shopkeeper also noticed the change in Gallo's expression, and muttered in his heart, where did he provoke this goods?

But he didn't intend to back down, and continued to stick to his principles:

"I'm sorry, guest, but these books are really just giveaways."

"If you really want to, consider buying a beautiful lady..."

Gallo took a deep breath and asked:

"How much is the cheapest puppet you've got here?"

After buying relevant theoretical books, of course he also needs a puppet to experiment, so he can't take Amiya under the knife, right?

In fact, the main purpose of his trip was to buy puppets, but after seeing those books, he put the cart before the horse.

And the puppets in this store, just look at the appearance, they are indeed very exquisite, even if the inside is not good at all, the price will definitely not be cheap.

When Gallo was still on Earth, he had heard of some deeds of eating soil every month in order to buy beautiful dolls.

The young shopkeeper was relieved to see that Gallo didn't plan to come hard, and hurriedly introduced:

"The girls in this store are all the same excellent and loyal, so the price gap is not big, basically around 1,000 gold..."

The price made Gallo's eyes widen.

A doll sells for 1000 gold?

Do you know how much my head is worth?

It's only 2,000 gold...

1000 gold, I don't know how many live people I can buy!

This price is outrageous!

Garlo really felt angry and funny in his heart, even if he was already mentally prepared for the other party's lion to open his mouth, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated and excessive!

He didn't know what kind of person could afford to play with such a luxurious toy.

Let's not talk about a poor middle peasant like Old John, just say that he, as the technical backbone of the weapons shop, takes several times the salary of his peers, and only 50 gold a month.

And this income is already higher than 80% of the residents of the City of Innocence.

It's no wonder that this store is located in such a remote corner, because it is simply sold to ordinary people.

Even if Gallo was still rich, he wouldn't spend such a large amount of money on a test subject.

Unless he can find a way to put the price of this puppet into the cost budget and let Lady Carola pay for it.

But this is clearly immoral, and he can't do it.

The young shopkeeper observed Gallo's reaction and probably guessed what was on his mind.

But he didn't have much of it, and he didn't retort and laugh at Gallo's poverty and pettiness.

In fact, the vast majority of people who come to the store will show almost the same expression when they hear the price.

Some will repeatedly bargain with him, try to get cheaper, and even pester him for a long time about it.

Some will turn around and scold and slam the door.

Like Gallo, it's okay.

However, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, his puppet must maintain this painfully high price.

In this way, the buyer will cherish them and will not treat them as a simple tool to vent their desires, throw them away after playing casually, or abuse them violently.

He's buying a puppet girl with a soul, not one of those shoddy tools out there!

So he patiently explained to Gallo, saying that these puppets were well-made, and the production cycle was extremely long, and he poured his heart and soul into it...

However, what he emphasized most was the ridiculous 'soul theory', and he insisted that his puppet had a soul, so he could sell it for such a price.

Gallo, of course, would not believe such nonsense.

He even had the urge to kill people and sell more goods in his heart.

But the shopkeeper's sales pitch succeeded in convincing Mithelan...

"Gallo, I think he seems to have a point, these puppets are really exquisite, and they are indeed worth the money..."

Mitheran tugged at Gallo's sleeve and whispered in his ear.

Gallo was speechless about this...

You are a loser, why are you so easy to deceive?

The shopkeeper, striking while the iron was hot, continued:

"Guest, please believe me, you spent this thousand dollars to buy a simple girl..."

"What you choose is a taste, an attitude to life, a true nobility and elegance!"

"What you bought is a true soul, a beautiful soul, a loyal soul!"

Gallo couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed him by the collar, and asked:

"You have a soul in one mouth, but do you know what a real soul is?"

"Come, I'll show you what a real puppet is!"

Gallo said angrily, directly picked up this guy, and forcibly stuffed him into the carriage.

The young shopkeeper was frightened.

He thought that this young man was a good match, and there was not so much nonsense, but he didn't expect the other side to come directly to the hard...

"Let go of me! You're kidnapping! ”

Gallo didn't bother to tie him up, nor did he bother to gag this guy's mouth.

He just remembered how he felt when he was a skullcrusher, and glared at the guy.

The young shopkeeper was stunned and could no longer utter a single character.

He felt a fierce, substance-like killing intent in Gallo.

That's the killing intent that has really been experienced in a hundred battles and tempered from the sea of corpses and blood...

He had seen this kind of temperament in the guards around his father, and he had seen them clean and neat when they killed.

He didn't hesitate to believe that this guest could crush himself into powder as long as he wanted to, just one thought...

If you dare to resist, you will definitely die, and you will die a miserable death...

This guy can't be the kind of perverted murderer in the book who makes living people into puppets, right?

A thought popped into the young shopkeeper's head.

I'm going to die...

If I had known, I wouldn't have run away from home...

He was thinking all sorts of things in his mind until the carriage stopped, and was wrenched out by Gallo, and thrown in front of a big black mule.

Is this some kind of perverted hobby?

This murderer is going to kill me and feed me to the mules?

Gallo didn't speak, but just waved his hand to remove the camouflage magic on Amiya's body, revealing it to its original appearance.

Tall and strong, but very funny blue and white, with a funny white apron around his waist.

“RX-78-GP03D？”

The young man recognized Amiya's model at a glance, which showed that he did have a deep understanding of the puppet.

"But isn't this the highest-end model for the military? Known as the strongest weapon of war, it has the title of 'Black Death'..."

"But it's... Why... Why knit sweaters? ”
