Chapter 83: Black Shop + Black Market
I guess that person is a jack of all trades and knows a lot about the black market.
"General, you? What do you inquire?" Seeing that the general was back, I asked curiously.
Because these two people have been muttering there for a long time, and they don't know what they are talking about.
And I saw the general give him a small stack of gold coins.
This person? Who is it?
"Of course, I'm asking where to sell the Tranquility Gems. Did that person see it? He's Ah San, it's my good buddy, and he's also a little executive here, hehe."
The general said proudly. It seems that the man ...... I'll keep it in mind, maybe I'll need his help in the future.
"But you can't see what that person looks like!" Someone complained.
Hey-that's it, that's it, forget it~
"Oh...... So why good buddies? And you still have to give money?" I muttered quietly.
"Hehe, my brother is settling accounts. When I ask others about this money, I also ask for it, and it is worth it to my own brother!"
"Wow! Brother, you're too righteous!" I clenched my little fists and deliberately sold cuteness.
And rightly so, the general blushed.
Hehe, even if you only show half of your face, my lovely voice is invincible!
Later, the general led me to a shop called Jewel Minghui.
The golden plaque and the carved façade of the green wood make me feel that this store is absolutely black!
After entering the shop, a gorgeously dressed fairy sat there.
Long blue watery hair, verdant eyelashes, expensive clothes outline proud curves, and dream-like wings flashing on the back.
Wow! A spirit of water + grass? Hmph, but it's not as cute as mine!
"Hmm...... What was I thinking......"
I feel so concerned about how cute I look these days...... Hey, I'm a man...... Woo......
Well~ That's it, I'm cute anyway~
In the counter of this store, there are gems and crystals.
The colors are gorgeous, and the layout of the shop is also very exquisite.
However, the service attitude of the owner of such a good shop is average, and we all come in, and the elf actually ignores us!
The general stepped forward and said in a cold and low voice, "Tranquility Gem, Super Superior."
"Wow, General, your tone is so handsome!"
I really didn't expect the general to be so gentle with me, but this came to the black market to become so strong.
"It's just a matter of saying no on the phone on different occasions." A certain personality.
I know, but such a tough general is so handsome~
Hmm- what was I thinking......
The female shopkeeper raised the corners of her mouth charmingly, and her eyes showed the cunning light of a merchant, and said, "Yo, it's a coincidence, I really have it. I don't know how much money you can pay, officer?"
"Three hundred." The general stretched out his big index finger and middle finger, and his tone was very low, as if it didn't look like a bargain at all, and the final word was settled.
「300? 300 credits? Sir? You're kidding, aren't you?" The woman looked at her in surprise and gave off an expression of disbelief.
Hehe, this is a businessman, even if he makes a profit, he has to make this expression like a loss, tsk.
300 silver coins to buy a useless mana crystal?!
"I'm talking about gold!" The general's heavy tone seemed to accuse the female elf of looking down on him.
Hearing this, I thought the shopkeeper would slap the table and be dumbfounded! Stand up!
Or come again and be amazed and scream!
Because I've been like this! Of course I did it in my heart.
Oh my God, big brother, you're my own brother! 300 gold! That's 30,000 silver coins! That's 3 million copper coins! Three million!
That's a year's worth for me! Such a great kindness, how can I repay it!
However, I was surprised here, but the shopkeeper's face did not show the slightest surprise, but his eyes became solemn, and he looked at the customer (the general) in front of her very seriously.
The shopkeeper's hesitant gaze seemed to be scrutinizing.
Of course, I can also understand how it is possible for a normal person to pay 300 gold coins to buy a useless broken stone.
"Guest ......" The shopkeeper waved his hand, and a small round wooden box flew out of the storage compartment behind her and landed in her hand.
She slid open the box, and inside it was a thumb-sized golden-green gemstone floating on the golden velvet.
"Look, officer, this is the gem you need."
Wow! There really is!
Am I finally free from the endless curse!
[But just when Ninety-nine's eyes were shining, General Yun Feibai grinned and snorted angrily. 】
While I was still thinking, the general suddenly turned around and walked away, and said without a moment, "Follow, let's go to the next one."
The voice was clearly addressed to the shopkeeper.
I was a little confused by this sudden turn of events.
Why just leave?
"Brother, you wait for me." I whispered.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
The female shopkeeper looked a little at a loss, and at this time, the general was angry and said fiercely, "Hmph, you know your own goods!"
After saying that, the general walked away and walked out of the store directly.
The general walked briskly in front of me angrily, and said to me, "Let's go, let's go to the next one."
I don't know why the general is so angry, but I can guess that there is something wrong with the goods.
"Wait, brother, slow down. Was there anything wrong with that thing just now?"
The general said with a fierce face, "Problem? That's a fake."
"Huh?!" I was surprised.
"Are you seeing a particularly sparkling golden-green gem?"
"yes," I said, confused.
"That's all the illusion of the box, and the gem in the box is actually a pale golden mid-level lightning magic crystal. Tsk."
"Oh, okay...... So that's the case, my brother is so powerful, how do you know that, brother?"
"Because I have this."
The general handed me a new chlorophyte monocle.
"This is the spectacle lens I bought here by chance, and this thing can see through all illusions below the outer level (level 9). It's just that when I found it, the guy who sold it didn't know what it was for, and I remember I was able to get it for only 30 silver."
"Oh...... I picked up my glasses and looked around at the bustling markets, but I didn't see any difference.
The thin lenses are extremely hard, probably made of precious stones, and the faded brass border makes this prop a little cheap.
"Hehe, that's why I can get 30 silver coins, hehehe."
After playing for a while, I returned the spectacle lenses to the general and followed him to a few other shops.
"It's been a long time since I've been shopping, and I didn't like to go out shopping in the original world, but ...... Ay...... Man......"
"In short, you don't know the precious ...... until you lose it"
I thought to myself, looking for the Tranquility Gem I needed, and by the way, I also took a look at the scenery of the black market.
There was a lot of fighting, but I really liked the noise. Compared to the clean life of the palace, it is quite interesting here.
