Chapter 32: The Weapons Shop
In the afternoon, Ebudra was filled with the warmth of the warm sun, stepping on the white marble gravel paved boulevard, and his ears were full of bustling human voices, Renault had the illusion of finally coming to reality.
Ebudra deserves the title of the largest city, and after two hours of walking, the beautiful and clean gravel road on the ground turned into mud, indicating that it has reached the northern area that Wu Haojian said.
If the southern district of Ebudra is described as opulent, the northern district can be described as miserable: the sparse people in tattered costumes look obscene, and there is a huge contrast to the energetic players in the southern district.
Renault even felt that the discrepancy was not just caused by the amount of money in his pocket. After observing for a long time, Renault thought it was a matter of mentality. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as depressed, self-willing, and decadent. What kind of circumstances shaped their mentality, Renault has no way of knowing.
Perhaps it was due to the unique geography of the North District, Renault thought so.
No matter how you look at it, I haven't seen the "strong folk style" that Wu Haojian said!
It wasn't until he entered a complex that Renault finally saw the deliberate smile of the boss inside through the window pane.
Shops in the North District are beginning to take shape, and the dilapidated high-rise buildings are just the right place for businessmen to set up shops. Advertisements written in different fonts can be seen everywhere on the faΓ§ade of the ground floor, which roughly introduces the varieties of the store to passers-by. Above the second floor is residential housing, sticking out of the window railing on a variety of ** coats to tell pedestrians that this is already like moving in. If you don't dry your clothes, it doesn't mean that no one lives, maybe the owner doesn't have time to wash **, or the owner uses a special quick washing dryer to complete the annoying washing work. Of course, the quick washer dryer consumes a certain amount of gold.
Through the glass, Renault found that the decoration of the store was not much worse than that of the South District, but the equipment and props sold in it were not as dazzling as those from there, and the types were also out of stock. It is the most common one-handed sword, and there are only six basic attribute bonuses in this store in front of me: "liliang", "speed", "physique", "intelligence", "magic" and "luck", and the added value is pitiful. For Renault, who is accustomed to using two-handed swords with no level restrictions, he really has no interest in even taking a look.
After passing through a pharmacy store, the variety of potions in it is completely incomplete, and there is no life potion that is in demand and is expensive, even the most common slow blood recovery potion has a blood return value that is dozens of points less than that in the system standard store. The only way to keep the pharmacy open is to go cheaper. In fact, the imagination of "short catties and short two" in stores in the North District is extremely common, and the price war is the eternal theme here, and it seems to be the only way out.
Passing by more than a dozen shops of all kinds, Renault finally stopped and watched at a weapons shop that looked a little larger, and before he could see the name of the store, a young man dressed like a boss took the initiative to push the door to greet him.
When the boss saw Renault's clothes and equipment, Renault glowed with a metallic luster from his brown eyes, which was the luster of the desire for money, compared to the golden light of Wu Haojian's house, less precipitation of the years, and a little more explicit.
It's no wonder that the boss is so attentive, just the azure shading magic robe from time to time flashes of a few rays of electric light, enough to show that the wearer is worth extraordinary, and the boss clearly sees a full body suit similar to the pattern of the magic robe in his eyes, which is particularly conspicuous in the slum garbage gathering area.
Magic Suit! How much does it cost to be eligible to collect a full set of equipment, and there is no money to buy it.
This "Deep Blue Ripples" suit is the third "surprise" given by the system after Renault completes the job transfer mission.
Just from the magic fluctuations in the flow of the set, it can be seen that each piece of it is rare equipment, and the value of the set is even more than a single rare bulk, and anyone with a little vision will understand the difference.
The boss was attracted out by the magical luster of the "deep blue ripples", and when he got closer to take a look, he was even more complacent about his initiative.
"Your Excellency is a magician, just look at your magic robe, you can know that your magical attainments are extraordinary, and the patterns and textures on it reflect your superb artistic taste. For distinguished customers like you, it is really glorious to have you in the small shop, and Sansheng is fortunate to have you. If you have a magic wand that fits your hand, it's even more powerful. What, you don't need a magic wand, it looks like you already have one, but from the fact that you didn't have it with you, I guess you must think that the shape of the magic wand doesn't match this very artistic magic suit. Don't worry, don't look at the small shop, but there are first-class blacksmiths in the North District who work for us, full-time casting magic tools for tasteful masters like you. What a price aspect, hey! At first glance, you will never be like those faceless thugs outside, bargaining for a small profit. Rest assured, our prices here are absolutely fair. If you don't believe it, you can ask the guests who have patronized the restaurant, and you will definitely not be disadvantaged and guaranteed to feel at home. β
Saying that, the boss invited Renault into the inner hall to have a look, and said in his mouth: "Those weapons outside are just window dressing, you also know that good things are naturally not taken out casually, and only dignitaries are qualified to enter the inner hall to have a look at the treasures of the town store." β
Wu Haojian, who had a young boss who went out of business and was in the business world, was more like a businessman, if he changed the brand-new iron armor into a long robe tassel, the dark helmet was replaced with an Arabic turban, and the abdominal muscles wrapped in the tights outside the iron armor were more fat, it would have a merchant taste.
A cursory glance at the array of weapons is barely complete: from the most common swords, spears, staves, crossbows, scepters, maces, and dagger blades, to the rare hidden darts and shield blades. Compared with other professional weapon shops in the southern district, it is indeed slightly inferior, but the quality is not much inferior. It's just that for a high-demand player like Renault, none of them are in his eyes.
Guided by his boss, Renault stepped into a hardwood door carved with a double-sided giant axe pattern on the inside. The moment he entered, out of the corner of his eye, Renault caught a glimpse of two other clerk-like warriors silently closing the door of the weapons shop, one of whom clearly held a large U-shaped lock with a number in his hand.
The inner hall is not large, only one-third of the outside, there are no windows on the four walls, Renault, who has just entered the door, is immediately shrouded in darkness, and when the shopkeeper lights a candle, he can vaguely see the general distribution inside: the simple iron counter divides the room into two, and there is a person sitting in the counter, judging from the height of the rocking chair, the person is very burly, the rocking chair keeps shaking, and squeaks in the silent and dim inner room, which looks extremely strange and terrifying.
What kind of person is Renault, he didn't have a mental breakdown in purgatory mode, what can a mere big man do.
When the fourth candle was lit, the room was fully unfolded before Renault's eyes. Painted with colorful brushes, the pale gray walls are painted on the four walls, and the focus of the pattern is a pirate ship painted in blood-red paint, and other warships of various sizes are constantly circling the pirate ship, waiting for an opportunity to sink it. However, under the cover of sea breeze and torrential rain, the pirate ship stubbornly resisted, and fought against several times its own warship. The mural is divided into four phases, the first two tell about the desperate resistance of the pirate ship, the sea god blesses the rain and whirlwind, helping the brave pirate to disrupt the shape of the warfleet, and the last two focus on the pirate leader, the sturdy and burly pirate king longs a nearby warship, and under the chopping of the giant axe, the battleship becomes a part of the sea like dead wood. Zuihou, finally under the heroic battle of the Pirate King, sank half of the battleships, and the rest retreated towards the horizon.
The four murals are so vivid that Renault has no particular attainment in the art of painting, but he can still quickly read the meaning of the four paintings, and he cannot help but be impressed by the artist's superb artistic level.
"Good painting!" Renault couldn't help but admire.
"Your Excellency also has a unique idea for painting?" At some point, the other two clerks had flashed into the room, and the door closed and locked silently. It was a short warrior who spoke, and at some point, there was a one-handed knife in his hand, the tip of which was pointed diagonally at the back of Renault's heart.
Renault deliberately ignored the other party's misdeeds and said in a calm tone: "Experience? It's just a layman's nonsense, don't take it personally. β
The short man was stunned at first, and immediately realized the sarcasm in his words, and couldn't help but show indignation.
Another clerk was armed with a single pistol, the tip of which was almost half a meter away from the back of Renault's heart, and as long as he exerted his strength, this distance would immediately decide Renault's life and death.
"It's amazing that you're entertaining VIPs like this." Renault scoffed.
The short man with the knife shouted angrily: "Don't fucking nonsense, your life has been pinched in the palm of my hand, smartly put down the gold coins and props in your pocket, and get out of the way for Lao Tzu." β
"Don't forget this suit!" The boss's original sneer is long gone, and he has replaced it with a greedy face.
"I haven't seen your store's 'treasure of the town store', so fast bidding, is it popular here to buy and sell blindly?" Renault said with a smile.
The short man was furious: "I don't know how to lift, and I haven't figured out my situation yet, when the guy in our hands is an ornament?" Dude, don't give him a little red, I don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. As he spoke, the knife in his hand was sent forward twenty centimeters, pointing directly at Renault's heart.
Renault seems to be bohemian, but in fact, he has already paid attention to the position distance of the two weapons behind him, as long as the other party dares to make a provocative act, Renault will immediately dodge and counterattack.
Even when the one-handed knife was sent forward again for fifteen centimeters, that is, it was almost beyond the distance that Renault tolerate, the single-handed pistol suddenly turned, and the barrel of the gun made by special technology struck the back of the knife, making a crisp sound, and the knife that was supposed to pierce the skin tissue of Renault's back changed its original trajectory and deviated outward.
