8. Strange runes
Jiajing didn't pay much attention to the magic crystals, but the pickpocket had obviously seen his peacemaker's classic revolver and had taken away the treasures that didn't belong to this world.
Jiajing looked left and right for a while and didn't see any trace of that guy, so he had to admit that he was unlucky, and pressed the bag more carefully with his hand, and continued to move forward.
Jiajing, who looked depressed, walked for more than ten minutes and finally found a hotel.
This city belongs to the edge of the Athena Empire, there are not many travelers who usually come and go, and there are even fewer people staying in the hotel, so there are not many hotels, and the guys in the hotel have already greeted Jiajing with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "This little brother, is it a hotel?"
There was food and accommodation in the hotel, and when he saw Jiajing with a bag and a dusty face, he guessed that he was going to stay in the hotel.
Jiajing nodded: "Well, if you want a single room, it's better to be quiet, how much is it?"
The guy smiled and said: "We live here cheaply, the ordinary single room is only thirty copper a day, and the upper room is one silver coin a day, I don't know what type of little brother wants to live?"
One hundred copper coins is equal to one silver coin, and one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins. Jiajing has been in Thunder Shadow Village for half a year, and he doesn't know what the prices of this empire are, and when he left, the village chief gave him another fifty gold, so he nodded and said, "Just give me an ordinary one." ”
When the guy saw that Jiajing had chosen an ordinary guest room, he was slightly disappointed, but he still had a smile on his face, "Little brother, please come with me." ”
"Look at the little brother's appearance, it's a newcomer, why don't you take a bath first and eat something to satisfy your stomach. We're a small place, but our food is notoriously delicious, and if you need it, we'll prepare it for you. ”
Jiajing was not in a good mood now, so he casually answered a few sentences, went to the guest room, asked the clerk to send warm water for bathing, and sent him away.
After taking a warm bath, Jiajing thought about it carefully, the people here don't know what a firearm is, the thief may not know the goods, otherwise he wouldn't throw away his peacemaker, and those jewelry items, even if they are exposed, they probably won't find his head, thinking of this, Jiajing finally felt a lot more relieved.
I went downstairs to the hall to order a few signature dishes, and the taste was really good, and after filling my stomach, Jiajing went back to the upstairs guest room and slept well.
I had traveled a long way with the convoy before, and I hadn't slept peacefully for more than ten days.
Early the next morning, Jiajing felt that there was nothing to do, so he went out for a stroll, no, walked aimlessly to the front of a magic shop, Jiajing pushed the door out of curiosity, and went in.
The magic shop is not big, only twenty square meters, and there is a shopkeeper and a guy in it, it is very deserted, the clerk is dozing on the table, and the shopkeeper does not say anything about him.
There weren't many things in the store, a few wands made of wood, and some colorful magic crystals, mostly marked with middle and lower grades, as well as some strange materials and bottles of liquid.
There were also a few gray runes hanging from the walls. Jiajing knew that it was a sealing rune, and Arad had one, and there was a thorny armored dragon beast in it. But his one is golden, and it is the highest-grade valuable, and these gray things are low-grade goods at first glance.
When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming, his two half-squinted eyes opened suddenly, coughed heavily, and woke up the dozing clerk on the side, before he asked Jiajing with a smile: "This little brother, I don't know what items you want to buy?"
Magicians are a very popular profession in this empire, and they are highly respected, although the shopkeeper can't see how Jiajing's clothes have anything to do with magicians, but generally those who dare to enter the magic shop, even if they are not magicians, they are also for magicians, and the shopkeeper does not dare to hold it up.
After the clerk woke up, he hurriedly pulled a stool over, and said politely to Jiajing: "Please sit down, what do you need, just say, the villain will bring it to you, you can take a look." ”
Jiajing waved his hand slightly and asked, "Why is the store so idle, and there are no magicians to buy things?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "Little brother said that he laughed, how can magicians be so easy to see." There are only a dozen magicians in this city, and most of them are junior mages, who usually meditate, condense magic or study magic spells, how can they be seen everywhere. ”
Jiajing pretended to know and nodded, "Yes, too." ”
But I was secretly wondering in my heart: it turns out that there are so few magicians here.
The clerk smiled and asked, "Guest, I wonder if you have any items you like?"
Jiajing was very interested in the sealing runes, he couldn't imagine that such a big beast could actually get into the runes for the first time, so he pointed to the runes and said to the shopkeeper: "Please take those runes and take a look." ”
The shopkeeper looked happy, these runes had been here for too long, and they were too expensive to sell, and he was very sorry that he had bought so many goods from the big city.
At that moment, he took down the five runes, and introduced with a smile: "These are primary sealing runes, which can seal a war beast, which is very precious to the magician, if you go to the war beast shop to buy a war beast, it is equivalent to carrying a powerful thug with you!"
Jiajing picked up the sealing runes, and suddenly felt heavy in his hands, these runes are not the same size and style, the front of the runes is all engraved with a fierce beast with a mighty appearance, and a crystal stone with dim fire is inlaid below.
Jiajing asked curiously, "How do you use these runes?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Jiajing strangely: This kid, why don't you even know how to use runes.
But he thought about it again: It may be that the rune is precious, and this kid has not been exposed to it, so naturally he will not know how to use it.
So he picked up one of them and explained to Jiajing: "The method of use is actually very simple, just drop the user's blood on this spar. And the war beast that is accepted must have signed a contract with the owner, as long as the master's mind moves, he can put his war beast into the rune. Once the rune is included in the war beast, the hedron will automatically glow. The runes of the famous flower owner need to be erased by the master or the great magician before they can be transferred to others, so there is no need to worry about being stolen, even if the rune is thousands of miles away, the master can summon the war beast inside to serve it at any time. Therefore, those thieves who dare to steal runes are often killed by war beasts, and generally no one dares to use their brains against them. All of these hedrons, which have only one hedron, are low-level runes, and high-level runes can be inlaid with several hedrons, and a corresponding number of war beasts can be included. ”
Jiajing looked up and saw another quaint rune hanging on the wall, on which a small black and shiny snake was embossed, the snake's lower abdomen had four legs, and its whole body was bent and coiled on top of two criss-cross long swords, and there was an obsidian inlay below, which made people faintly feel a little evil.
Jiajing couldn't help but raise his hand and pointed up: "Why don't you take that one down and take a look, that thing shouldn't be a non-sale item just for exhibitions, right?"
