Chapter 179: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole. barter
Since it was to buy gifts, the two shops in the upper city that were only open to people of status were naturally the first choice, and under the leadership of the Grand Knight of Anluo, Dean entered these two shops unimpeded - they were said to be two shops, but in fact they were adjacent to each other, and the walls were also opened, but they were covered by a black curtain.
"This is a mom-and-pop shop, although the husband and wife have a good relationship, but the items and concepts are different, and the two don't want to be separated, so they chose the shops adjacent to each other on the left and right, and opened them up, but they are operated separately - Punk and Anna, these are the names of these two owners...... Don't worry, the two bosses are also from a former aristocratic family, so there is absolutely no problem in selecting the items here to give to Baron Tyre! β
After entering the shop, the Grand Knight of Anluo saw Dean's surprised eyes and immediately explained.
"Ever from an aristocratic family?"
Dean asked subconsciously.
"Yes, once Punk and Anna were both nobles, but they were dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the family and ran away, which is really admirable......"
The Grand Knight of Anluo clicked his mouth, his face revealed a trace of longing, but then he seemed to associate with the cruel reality, and that trace of longing began to be full of struggle, and finally, it turned into a helpless sigh, coupled with the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the whole person seemed to be a depressed poet.
Suddenly, the eyes of several ladies and young ladies in An Luo's shop, who had been paying attention to it, lit up.
And Dean subconsciously moved to the side - for this big knight, after discovering the essence of the other party, Dean finally figured out why the other party rarely wore armor. In times of danger. That is, a piece of leather armor. According to the other side, that is: armor? Affect my sense of beauty! Those ladies and ladies who admire me will be sad when they see it.
There is no doubt that this great knight has the loyalty of a knight, and he is not lacking in responsibility.
However, that sense of responsibility is only expressed above the treatment of one's own county king.
As for the rest?
Dean looked at the other party as if he was sad, but he couldn't stop looking at the ladies and misses, and even threw a smug look at him from time to time, Dean shrugged his shoulders to express helplessness.
"Little Anluo. If you spread the word about our deeds again, the next time I come to the store, I will definitely double the price! β
And just as several ladies and ladies in the store were about to walk towards An Luo, a voice sounded, and an elderly lady slowly walked out of the room behind the store.
Anyone can imagine how good the other person was when he was young.
Merely. This elegant, temperamental old lady is a little annoyed at the moment-
"This guy is 'Hunting. Yan. Hue. Wolf' Anlo. If you don't want to be swallowed without even a bone, stay away from him! β
The old lady pointed to the ladies and ladies who were moths to the fire, and all of a sudden, the ladies and ladies began to retreat in fright, and even two of them ran straight out of the store, and it was obvious that Anlo's reputation was 'deafening', and Dean subconsciously moved two more steps, as if I didn't know him.
"Madame Anna, you can't do that, you know, I'm your loyal customer!"
Looking at the ladies and young ladies who avoided him, An Luo, who also knew his reputation, immediately looked at the old lady with a wry smile.
"My loyal customer? Little Anluo, do you think I will believe it? You're just taking a fancy to my loyal customers! β
The old lady unceremoniously exposed our big knight, and she said with a little distress: "I have received no less than five crying complaints this year alone, they are all good girls, and they should not be hurt by you......" As she spoke, the old lady's words became stern: "If I appear here again, I will want the Marquis to protest directly, and forbid you to appear within half a catty and a hundred yards of my shop!" β
"Alright, alright, I'll take notice!"
An Luo raised his hands and tried to show his sincerity, but looking at the old lady's disbelieving look, Dean knew that this was not the first time An Luo had done this.
"Hello, I'm Dean. Ken, I'm here to pick out some gifts! β
When the old lady looked at him suspiciously, Dean immediately made it clear that he definitely didn't want to be misunderstood and have a bad reputation that would affect his image as a 'perfect knight'.
"Dean, Dean. Willing...... The future Golden Knight? It's a great honor to have you here! β
The old lady was stunned, and after muttering in a low voice, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately, exclaimed.
"You're so much praise!"
Dean waved his hand.
"Come on, since it's the future Golden Knight, I think some of my things here will be a good fit for your friend...... Also, little Anluo, you are not allowed to enter the shop again, now let me go to Punk's side! β
greeted Dean warmly, and the old lady did not forget Jì's sharp 'distribution' An Luo.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll go find Cyberpunk!"
An Luo said this, and then, at a rapid speed, disappeared into the shop.
Dean was led by the old lady to a counter with small ornaments and crafts.
"You're picking out a gift for that kind of friend...... Perhaps, I can give you some built yΓ¬! β
After the old lady invited Dean to sit down at the counter, she brought two more boxes from the counter next to her, which also contained some similar ornaments and crafts, but more elaborate.
"I chose for a baron and his advisors, the chief of the guard!"
Dean said simply.
"Baron? Baron Tyre? It's that guy......"
As she spoke, the old lady frowned, and then brought a box from the counter on the other side. Inside, there are still ornaments and handicrafts. And. Compared with what Dean saw before, it is brighter, but Dean, who has a considerable level of appreciation, knows that although the jewelry behind looks beautiful and luxurious, it is worse than the previous one.
It's like an outbreak. I wish I had my whole body inlaid with gold and diamonds.
Of course, Dean would never have thought that this lady had any malice, it was just that the Baron of Tyre was famous.
"Hmm, can I just call you Dean?"
"Of course!"
Dean nodded affirmatively.
"Dean, you know how to appreciate ...... At least I studied it deliberately! β
The old lady smiled and pointed to the boxes in front of her.
"When I was young, I was taught by my tutor!"
Dean said casually - having a family that didn't exist was enough to hide Dean's versatility.
"Well, it's a very unusual family, and of course, Dean you work hard. Boys rarely work ornaments and handicrafts, they prefer to dance with knives and swords...... Rest assured. Baron Tyre's words, this one is more suitable for him, as for the advisor, is it Ikos? β
"Hmm!"
"Then this one, he should like it - Ikos is a good boy, and Baron Tyre is also a good boy, just a little stupid!"
The old lady took out a palm-sized model of a sailboat from the handicraft box on one side, and then spoke very bluntly about Baron Tyre and the advisor.
Dean, on the other hand, chuckled and didn't say a word.
Obviously, just from the words and deeds of this old lady, Dean could see that the other party was extraordinary, at least, casually evaluating a lord, and the casual attitude towards the grand knight, which was not something that a former noble lady who had traveled far away from home could do.
Therefore, Dean expressed his belief in the other party's vision.
"The chief of the guard, it's Elle...... There's nothing Ellen loves here...... Follow me! β
The old lady stood up as she spoke, lifted the black curtain on the side, and walked into the shop next door.
Dean then followed.
Although I had vaguely seen some goods outside the door before, after I actually walked in, I was still surprised by the room full of knives, swords, and armor.
"The Marquis Vauban royal merchant?"
Dean thought silently.
Undoubtedly, only such an identity can be used to deal in weapons and armor in the upper town.
"Punk, punk!"
The old lady shouted, and immediately, an elderly gentleman came from behind the shop, and there were a little oil stains on his coat of coarse linen, which made the already gray linen material more and more unbearable, and the face was the same, the face was stained with oil, and it was difficult to see the face clearly, even if the old gentleman wiped the cloth twice vigorously.
"You sloppy guy, don't move, I'll wipe it for you!"
The old lady scolded in a low voice, and then took out a white handkerchief and wiped it carefully for her husband, and in an instant, the strength was only gentle.
Dean looked at Punk and Anna in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, the love between the two old couples made him respect and envy.
"Dean, I'm sorry, Cyberpunk isn't good at words, but his eyesight and craftsmanship are good!"
Turning around, the old lady smiled apologetically.
"It's better to be good at words than to be nice!"
Dean was very honest about what he really thought in his heart.
"That's right, that's right!"
The old lady nodded and smiled, and Punk, who had walked into the shop again, walked out with a dagger and handed it to his wife, and, nodding kindly at Dean, turned around, and returned to the back of the shop.
"This dagger, as a gift for Ellen, is enough!"
The old lady handed the dagger to Dean.
And just by glancing at it, Dean nodded in satisfaction.
Even without the blessing of magic, that kind of sharpness and toughness is a very good boutique.
"How much is it?"
Dean gestured to the three items that the old lady had helped to select.
"One hundred and ten Kimpton!"
The old lady put the three items into the gift box and wrapped them, and reported a number.
"Very fair price!"
Dean nodded, immediately. Took out a gemstone of almost equal value.
Whether it's Baron Tyre's ornaments. Or the sailing ship of Ikos. Or the dagger chosen for Ellen is not a bargain, according to Dean's eyesight, it should be at least around one hundred and fifty kimptons, and the one hundred and ten kimptons given by the old lady is obviously a discounted price.
Sure enough, the next moment, the old lady laughed-
"It's a discounted price. Facing the future Golden Knight, of course I need to make an investment in advance! β
The old lady said with a hint of amusement.
"Hopefully, I won't disappoint you!"
Dean responded humbly.
And then, after just a couple of conversations, Dean took his leave and left the shop; After all, his gifts were not fully purchased; With the exception of Baron Tyre, Ikos, and Ellen, the young men who remained in the Order and did not come to Vauban with them apparently also needed a small gift to soothe their grievances.
Dean didn't want to cause some trouble for his knights because of some grievances.
Of course, gifts don't have to be expensive.
After all. The young people who followed him to Vauban were the ones who were truly valued by Dean, and they took great risks - to sit back and enjoy the results. Do nothing, but get a better reward?
Naturally, Dean wouldn't do such a thing.
Therefore, 'Punk and Anna' is clearly inappropriate, it is a shop pΓΉ open to wealthy merchants, nobles, and not commoners.
Even the items in the shops in the shopping street in the lower city seem to be a little valuable.
Therefore, Dean's eyes were naturally on those who set up stalls outside the store.
Most of these people were merchants from the county of Vaubant, and a small number were natives from the townspeople of the city of Vauban who made handicrafts in exchange for some household subsidies.
Dean stopped and stopped, his eyes shooting around.
Although there were a lot of items on the paving, they didn't quite fit Dean's mind - either too cheap or too expensive.
The former will appear perfunctory.
The latter will only appear more unfair.
So Dean continued to shop, looking like he was concentrating on shopping.
And this is easier for the spies who followed him, after all, in the endless flow of commercial streets, people. Flow is the biggest protective color.
Feeling the guys behind him, Dean sneered in his heart and continued to complete his own business.
As for these spies?
Naturally, it was the great knight An Luo who was in charge.
This in itself is their agreement.
Of course, it's also true to buy gifts.
However, by the way, it is also true to 'clean up' the 'shadowy' forces in Vauban - this is the request of the great knight Anluo, on the premise of not delaying his own affairs, Dean will naturally not refuse, not to mention, the great knight Anluo also gave a certain reward: he paid for the gift.
Therefore, Dean didn't care about the spies at all.
As for when to arrest?
Now this kind of crowded place is definitely not good, and it is very likely to cause accidental injury.
Moreover, the great knight An Luo will not be willing to harvest such a little: the nest of these 'shadowy' forces is the goal of this great knight.
In this regard, Dean wishes the great knight good luck.
Perhaps none of these 'shadowy' forces are Anluo's opponents in a head-to-head battle, or even all of them are not a matter for Anluo.
However, if you are hidden, it is not necessarily.
However, in the face of the confident Anlo, Dean's words were not spokenβmost of the time, the facts were the most powerful.
Even if, you've already guessed.
Dean continued to wander the shopping street, completing his unfinished business - until lunch began, which was the time Dean and Anlo had agreed.
And during this time period, Dean was destined not to leave.
Since he couldn't leave, Dean naturally didn't mind relaxing himself.
Even if this is actually calculated, it will only take about three hours.
After putting the purchased gifts in his own shop, and refusing Old Ander's request to be accompanied, Dean reappeared on the shopping street.
Moreover, compared to the previous hurried glances, this time he was much more detailed.
From time to time, he would walk to the paving, carefully inspect the items, and then, ask the owner of the paving about the price fluctuation, if it suited his wishes, he would buy it, if not, he would not force it, Dean would stand up and walk towards the next paving, smiling, looking leisurely.
And at this pace, about an hour later, Dean bought everything he had to buy, and then, looking at the sun overhead, it was very close to the appointed time.
Therefore, he was not ready to continue, but walked towards his shop once again.
For the rest of the day, he did not intend to spend time in his shop, but to take the gifts he had purchased and return to his residence; After all, in the afternoon, he had other things to do.
However, as soon as he got close to the store, before he walked in, Dean heard it clearly, and the helpless voice of old Ander came from inside-
"This lady, we can't accept bartering here, please come back after Kimpton!"
Old Ander's voice was sincere, but no one could hear the helplessness.
"Why? Do you think we are deceiving you? β
A slightly strange female voice rang out.
"No, no, of course not, we're just ......"
"Then why not change?"
Clearly, the shop was in a state of entanglement.
"What do you want to exchange for what?"
Dean stepped in.
"Sir!"
Immediately, the shopkeepers, including Old Ander, bowed to Dean who walked in, and the lady with a strange tone also looked at Dean.
