Chapter 9 Archaeologists

In Nanhai Town, various searches are still ongoing, and most people who want to leave the city will be searched, and some people have even begun to openly break into the homes of ordinary people to conduct searches.

The entire town of Nanhai seems to be on edge, and the authorities are acquiescing to the actions of the gangsters.

"It seems that Nanhai Town has been completely infiltrat......ed by the Cursed Church," Song Zheng was sure that he would definitely not be able to do this with Na Gu Xin's mage status alone, and most of them still used other means and powers, which should be the influence of the Cursed Church in the dark.

Song Zheng soon found out that someone had already targeted him, after all, he had not been in Nanhai Town for a long time, and it was easy to attract the attention of others, and the more important reason was that he had rescued the little girl in front of Naguxin's carriage before, which made his identity more eye-catching.

After being interrogated five or six times, Song Zheng was already more and more worried, and when he returned home after an outing, he found that the locked door had been pried open, and the house had been turned into a mess.

"Have you been robbed?" Song Zheng hurriedly looked at the corner where he had hidden those black gems and the crystal bottle, but fortunately, the dark compartment there had not been discovered.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, his worries were even worse.

"You can't leave this thing at home anymore, if those people dare to come and search for it the first time, they dare to come a second time......"

Song Zheng took out the money bag overnight, and then hid it back under the stones on the steps outside the house.

It's a position that is visible to almost everyone, and even everyone who wants to enter the house has to step over it, but it's also the most overlooked.

After disposing of the money bag, Song Zheng was ready to buy some more weapons and equipment for self-defense, just in case.

Nanhai Town serves as a transportation hub, and there are many shops selling weapons and armor.

However, Song Zheng's favorite thing is to go to the crow market in the slum to find some suitable equipment.

Located in the slums east of the city, the Raven Market is actually a massive black market, with stalls that stretch for miles and can be used for almost anything, but most importantly, it only talks about gold coins and nothing else.

Therefore, it is also a good place for thieves and bandits in the neighborhood to sell their stolen goods.

Most of the hunting props before Song Zheng were bought here, and they were quite easy to use, and the price was nearly half cheaper than those regular stores.

Perhaps the recent search has also affected the work of those thieves and thieves, when Song Zheng came to this crow market, he found that it was also a lot of depression, and the stalls that stretched for miles in the past were nearly half.

"Huh...... How are there so few people today? Song Zheng asked casually in front of a stall he had patronized before.

"Haven't you been searching around the city recently because a mage has lost something, and many thieves have been caught, so there are naturally fewer people here." The boss smiled, obviously there are fewer people selling goods, and his business can be much better.

"Then it won't be so much less......" Song Zheng's brows couldn't help jumping, it seems that the number of thieves in this Nanhai Town is really a lot.

"Who knows, what do you want to order, or the trap? Recently, the goods have been a little low, and the price is a few points higher than before. The boss asked with a smile.

"No, I want to buy a set of chain mail, do you have it here?" Song Zheng looked around.

"No, don't look at the defense of the chain armor, but it's very heavy, it affects your speed too much, I think you should buy a set of leather armor, I just have a few sets of high-quality wolf skin half-body armor." The boss affectionately sold the goods to Song Zheng.

Song Zheng hurriedly shook his head and refused, he had already learned a lesson from the bite of the hungry wolf last time, although this leather armor was light, but the defense was too poor, even if it was used to deal with wild beasts, let alone defend against human attacks.

However, the production of chain mail is obviously much more difficult than leather armor, and it is even more difficult to choose a good and fitting chain mail, and Song Zheng has been wandering around this crow market for most of the day and has not been able to find a suitable chain mail.

Disappointed, he originally wanted to go to those regular armor shops and pay a high price for a set of chain mail, but just as he was about to leave, the goods on a street stall caught his eye.

"It's ...... Muskets? The corners of Song Zheng's eyes jumped wildly.

What appeared in front of him was a short-barreled musket, of fine workmanship, and the metal barrel was wrapped in a layer of wood carved with ancient patterns, like a handicraft.

"Yes, this is our dwarven treasure." The stall owner was a dwarf, with messy hair that hadn't been washed in some time, a beard on his face that was too much to determine his age, and a voice with a distinct foreign accent.

"You're a hunter? I've heard that many dwarves are masters of hunting. Song Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"No, I'm an archaeologist, archaeology! Got it? This is an extremely advanced science, you look at all these things I sell, they are all the results of my archaeology, you see this bone is the dinosaur skull obtained from the excavation site in Lockmodan, it is very valuable! The dwarf smirked, but with his ragged clothes, he always looked a little awkward.

"Is this the legendary archaeology ruining a lifetime......" Song Zheng shook his head secretly, but he was quite concerned about the musket.

In the world of Azeroth, the musket is not very powerful, and it is not even as powerful as those bows and crossbows with special effects, but now he is only a first-level thief, and he needs all kinds of simple and easy-to-use weapons, and the dwarven musket is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

"How much will this musket sell for?"

"Ten gold coins." The dwarf was afraid that Song Zheng would not hear clearly, and at the same time stretched out his stubby fingers to gesture.

"It's just a short gun, but it's not worth that much, how about eight gold coins?" Song Zheng took out a few gold coins as he spoke, although his gold coins were easy to come by, but he didn't want to buy them at a high price.

The dwarf's eyes lit up at once, even brighter than the gold coin.

"It's a specialty of our dwarves...... I finally brought it from Danmoro, and there are only two in total, at least ...... Nine gold coins are also required. The dwarf spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the gold coin in Song Zheng's hand.

"Okay, I can add two more gold coins, but you need to give me some gunpowder and bullets." Song Zheng said as he took out two more gold coins and tossed them lightly in his hand.

"Deal!" The dwarf nodded in agreement.

However, what made Song Zheng a little speechless was that after the dwarf got the gold coins, he immediately began to clean up his stall, obviously not ready to continue selling things.

"You're going to close the stall?" Song Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm an archaeologist, not a professional trader, but I haven't had money to drink for a long time recently, and if I don't drink a few glasses, I'm afraid that my stomach will not be able to stand it, so I can't bear to cut my love to sell some treasures, go, I invite you to have a few drinks, and by the way, I will give you a good introduction to the benefits of archaeology." The dwarf said very heroically.
