Heavy snowfall and the impending winter crisis don't seem to have had much of an impact on the ghost market.

This narrow alley is still bustling with activity, with the falling goose feather snow, the aroma of barbecue and alcohol, the noise of men, and the laughter of women, making this place seem to be another world.

Qin Ge walked through silently, and basically no one would pay attention to such a strange big guy as him.

Eventually, Qin Ge stopped in front of a dilapidated and rusty iron door, on which hung an axe and a kitchen knife, which were the hallmarks of the blacksmith shop, but ordinary people would not notice that in the lower right corner of the iron door, there was also a sign of a dark crescent moon, which meant that it was a magic blacksmith.

Qin Ge knocked on the iron door, and after a while, a boy with long yellow curly hair opened the door vigilantly, Qin Ge showed his anti-virus hunter ID, and the boy looked carefully for a while, and then opened the iron door.

Walking in, there is a very spacious open space, a real open space, 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, not at all like the cramped and crowded outside the iron gate.

And at the end of the clearing, there was a three-meter-high brick wall with two heavy machine guns on it, and six blond-haired and blue-eyed European-American men were eyeing Qin Ge.

In the right corner of the brick wall, there is a relatively wide door, where there are two big men guarding there.

The little boy ran over and handed Qin Ge's anti-virus hunter ID to a gatekeeper, and then the guy smiled in fluent Chinese: "Welcome, my friend, but I'm not sure what that thing you're carrying, for the sake of our trading pleasure, can you let me check it?"

"Of course. ”

Qin Ge smashed the heavy sword to zero on the ground with a bang, and the big man circled around with a look of surprise on his face, touched it a few more times, and finally smacked his lips, "No problem, welcome to the Osonev Magic Blacksmith Shop." ”

Qin Ge picked up the heavy sword again and passed through the door, but it was still not a blacksmith shop in front of him, but a simple shanty one after another, a group of ragged women, children, and old people huddled inside, indifferently watching Qin Ge's passing, and occasionally a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes would uncover the quilt she was wrapping around her body, and there was nothing underneath.

Of course, this is not a refugee area, the old people, women, and children here are all blonde and blue-eyed, from the northern country of furry bears or grizzly bears, their fathers, or husbands, brothers, are apprentices hired by Osunev's magic blacksmiths, small workers, low-level blacksmiths, intermediate blacksmiths, etc.

Or maybe it's a mutual aid organization (gangster) in a foreign land.

Anyway, as far as Qin Ge knows, there are only about one-fifth of the Chinese refugees in Gale City, and the remaining one-fifth are Lollipop Island refugees, and one-fifth are Japanese Island refugees, and the last two-fifths of the refugees are from the country of hairy bears and grizzly bears.

The ghost market is actually created by a few refugee gangsters, and their time in Gale City can be traced back to the time when the virus first invaded the last era, so although the Chinese government and military will restore the rules here in 2048, they still choose to acquiesce to several refugee gangs, as long as they don't cause trouble.

In the eyes of outsiders, the ghost market is actually a small alley less than three meters wide, but in the eyes of those who know the inside story, behind every shabby-looking shop in this alley, there is an area of thousands of acres, and there are almost 50,000 or 60,000 people living in it.

The places where these people live are labyrinths and fortified fortresses, after all, they have been fortified for decades.

In fact, many cities in Longjiang Province, including provincial capitals, have this kind of urban labyrinth built for initial refuge, but most of the owners in them are not foreign refugees.

Qin Ge walked all the way forward for seven or eight hundred meters, and finally came to a residential building, which was all enclosed inside, who could have imagined that there would be another cave in here?

"Hey, my friend, is there anything you can help with?"

A big hairy man walked over.

"I need some strong, tough magic metal to wrap this piece of wood in mine, depending on whether you can do it?"

Qin Ge put down the heavy sword with a bang.

The big man blinked in surprise, looked at Qin Ge's physique in surprise, and finally smacked his lips, "There is no problem with magic metal, but, my friend, even if our Osunev magic blacksmith shop has always adhered to the good reputation of good quality and low price, or even if you are an official of the anti-virus department in Gale City, we will give you a twenty percent discount, but, the magic metal you need for this magical weapon is also very much, this price, I don't know if you are mentally prepared for it?"

"Of course, it's a deposit!"

Qin Ge casually took out a piece of blue crystals the size of broad beans and threw it directly to the big man, here there is no need to worry about black eating black, and even don't have to worry about the other party paying a high price for black people, this is not to say that these birdmen are all angels who have fallen into the mortal world, these guys are actually full of evil, the fight between the gangs, and the oppression of their compatriots are all outrageous.

But there is no way, Lu Xun said, I am in charge of my territory.

So when Qin Ge showed his officially recognized anti-virus hunter certificate, it meant that everything was worry-free, but even so, the price of wrapping the heavy sword with magic metal to zero was sensational.

This is magic metal, not some iron sheet, iron plate, Fred's suggestion Qin Ge will not listen.

"Please wait. ”

The big man left quickly, and after a while, an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and beard, walked out quickly, Qin Ge didn't know him, but it didn't prevent him from knowing, this was Osonev Magic Blacksmith, a bronze-level magician with type O blood, but unlike Qin Ge's father, he was still a senior engineer, a guy who had obtained three doctorates in the previous era.

"Why do you have to stick to this piece of wood? You can exchange it for cast iron in the same proportion, and you can reduce it by five to eight times the volume, and I promise it won't lose any power. ”

The old man, Osonev, got straight to the point.

"Because this piece of wood can bring me good luck. Qin Ge said without thinking, this is not nonsense, in fact, Fred, Byrne, Wren and others have considered whether to replace it with cast iron, so that it can be easily carried without reducing the weight.

But in the end, it was rejected, the reason is that such a large volume of this heavy sword can block the enemy's long-range attacks for Qin Ge to a certain extent, in addition, the density of steel is very large, and under the same power, it is more difficult to control.

And the most important point, that is, Qin Ge's own feelings.

He had witnessed the birth of the heavy sword to zero, and he might not have made the same choice if he had initially replaced the wood with the same weight of steel.

"Well, as you wish, if this weapon is all wrapped in magic metal, even if it is the lowest level of tenacious magic gold, it will cost a thousand gold coins, according to the custom, we will give you an eighty percent discount, then it will also need eight hundred gold coins, the piece of blue crystal you just took out can be equivalent to five hundred gold coins, this is already the fairest price on the market, if there is no objection, tomorrow evening, you can take your weapon with the final payment, believe me, Osonev magic blacksmith will not disgrace his reputation." ”

"Deal. Qin Ge smiled slightly, this price was not much different from the price his father had estimated for him.
