Chapter Eighty-Eight: Selling and Buying (Part II)

If there is a next time, he must not indulge himself like this, Barrett regrets it for now.

What he regrets is not the sweet, fiery time of last night, but even the few things he has done that he has done that he is very sure to be "right".

If he had the chance, he would definitely taste the sweetness of that woman again. Just set the next time when he returns from the mission of 'Clover City', Barrett planned in his heart.

And what he regretted now was such a constant identification of items one after another. Such indulgence made Barrett feel as if there was a molten fire burning in his eyes, hot, sore, stinging, and tears flowing uncontrollably, making him look quite embarrassed.

He thought again of the proverb that had been so widely circulated in Nord โ€“ 'The contented adorn their hearts with pleasure, and the greedy fill their graveyards with pain.' It seems to be talking about yourself.

Is it greed? Admittedly, there must be some. But Barrett knew that what prompted him to do so was more of an anticipation and excitement in the face of the unknown.

Many adventurers like to "touch the corpse" and like to rummage through the harvest after the adventure. This anticipation and excitement of uncovering the unknown harvest delights them even more than the harvest itself. And Barrett is one of these races.

Although his eyes have long been unable to hold on, there is always a voice in his head that keeps tempting him: Hey, let's identify another one, just one! Discover its name, appreciate its past, and see what it can bring you:

A rusty horseshoe might give you 1 more luck (if you have that attribute), two dried horned frogs might give you 1 more vitality (at least you can eat it as jerky when you're hungry), a cracked bagpipe made from the heart of a tree spirit might make your skin as tough as your skin (including your cheeks), and a pair of torn and patched socks that giants once wore might be ...... Is your head broken?

How many things did I identify? Twenty, or thirty? Barrett couldn't remember. Because each appraisal takes a long time, although a long time has passed, he has not even finished identifying half of the contents of the cabinet.

That's it, if you continue to continue, you will probably become the same as those underground stone barbarian blind clans. Barrett comforted herself.

The owner of the grocery store found Barrett in a sluggish state in his busy time, "What? Could it be that the goblin copulation picture on that set of cards makes you cry?" he teased without raising his head, "If you really have a hobby in this area, I'll help you keep an eye on it." Two days ago, a painter wanted to sell me a picture of three naked~ goblins bathing together that he drew himself, but unfortunately the price was not negotiated."

"How could anyone draw this?" Barrett asked with his eyes closed.

"He was a very depressed painter, and he couldn't afford to hire a model, so he hired an adventurer to help him catch a few goblins as his resident models. Dave explained, "I have to say, the goblins he draws are still very standard. It's just a goblin thing, the better you draw it, the more disgusting it is. The painter wanted to sell his 'Goblin Out of the Bath' for a whopping eight gold coins, and I was only willing to pay eight copper coins, plus a compliment. โ€

"Because you're a profiteer!" Barrett said sarcastically.

"Hey, if you've ever seen that picture, you're going to think I'm making a fair bid, because that's not a compliment that anyone can say. Dave put down the ledger in his hand, "But then again, do you really have a fetish for that?"

Barrett didn't want to answer such boring questions.

"Acquiescence?" Dave didn't give up, "Don't be shy, there are several adventurers and nobles I know who have the same 'interests' as you." When he said he was interested, the expression on his face was obscene.

"I prefer the women in the 'Shirley's Whisper' tavern to goblins. Barrett pleaded. But it's not so much an excuse as it is a show-off.

"Yo-he, it looks like you're really rich. Dave's eyes lit up, "I've heard that the women there cost hundreds of gold coins a night." โ€

Barrett closed her eyes and nodded smugly.

If you follow the calculation of the red-haired girl before, he "killed" nearly 100 bulls and nearly 100 cows in one night, plus a bunch of calves as a gift.

Well...... What is her name? Barrett noticed that the red-haired girl's name was blurring in his mind, but her deep burgundy hair was becoming more and more distinct.

"It's good to be single!" Dave sighed.

Barrett could make out the unconcealed envy in his tone, "You can go too, you profiteer make enough money a day to spend in a tavern like Shirley's Whispering several times." โ€

"Although this grocery store belongs to me, I am also a part-time worker. Dave said helplessly, "Most of the money earned is to collect magic materials for Master Ian, and these magic materials don't necessarily generate profits, or rather, they don't necessarily generate profits for me, after all, Master Ian also has his own magic jewelry store." โ€

Barrett didn't know exactly what the trade between Dave and Master Ian was, and he didn't care about it, "Even if there's a little left, it's enough for you to play." โ€

"Those are going to be handed over to my wife. Dave sighed again, "And in the end, it's just a few silver griffins that belong to me." He looked at Barrett with a wry, "That's why I said, it's good to be single!"

"Can't agree more. Barrett opened his almost recovered eyes, took the two items he had found, and walked towards Dave at the counter, "What is the price of these two things?"

Dave reached out and took the item, taking it through with his special magnifying glass, "This is the good thing you worked so hard to find?"

One of these two items was a pair of long, worn metal bracers with a badly worn pattern that vaguely looked like a huge, terrifying Terrasquier beast. The bracers are much heavier than expected, and they are obviously mixed with a lot of magic iron when they are built.

However, the Magic Iron is not a good choice for bracers, as it is too heavy, and although it is not easy to break, it can have a significant impact on the dexterity of the weapon when wearing it.

ใ€Colin's Wishใ€‘

[Colin is a young lord with great natural strength, and he admires the Terrasqui Behemoth, hoping that one day he will have the same strength as the Terrasqui Behemoth. Colin had the blacksmiths in his realm create a pair of bracers for him to use to exercise his strength, and had the blacksmiths hand-carve a Terrasqui Behemoth on each bracer.

Colin wore the bracers day and night to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and go to the boudoir, never taking them off until he died. Later, the bracers were used as funerary goods in the cemetery for hundreds of years, until the tomb robbers stole them from the cemetery. ใ€‘

[Effect: Every time you wear it for a year, it will permanently increase the wearer's strength.] Increases strength by up to 60 (Colin wears it for 60 years, not counting the time he died). ใ€‘

[Side Effects: Slows down your swinging weapon by 20%, and the side effects will disappear after one year of cumulative wearing.] ใ€‘

[Note: Every man has a "giant beast" living in his heart......]

The other item was an even more worn lantern, with all the glass around the lantern gone, leaving only a wire frame. The lantern is a bit smaller, and it doesn't seem to be for humans, but more like a dwarf, halfling, or dwarf.

ใ€Unlucky Miner's Lampใ€‘

[This was originally a very ordinary miner's lamp, which had accompanied many dwarves in the underground mines. But every dwarf who has owned it has coincidentally died under the attack of underground monsters for various reasons.

Blood flowed and the lamp fell to the ground along with the corpse, and this happened countless times. Over time, although the lamp was picked up after each attack, no dwarf dared to use it again. ใ€‘

[Effect: When the miner's lamp is lit, it can attract the attacks of all monsters within 500 meters of the body, and the effect disappears when it is extinguished.] ใ€‘

[Note: What can I do? I'm desperate tooโ€”โ€” unlucky miner's lamp]

"If you're going to ask for it, I'll count you one hundred and fifty gold coins on this bracer. "Dave gives a high price, which he gives very well when he receives the goods (for adventurers), and also at a good price (for himself) when he sells things.

"Don't be too expensive, although this bracer is very worn, but it is mixed with a lot of magic iron, a lot, a lot!" he repeated repeatedly, "It can even be said that the entire bracer is made of magic iron. โ€

It's obviously impossible that the entire bracer is made of magic iron, but at least there can be six or seventy percent, and Barrett can judge the approximate content from the weight.

But his state at this time is still a little sluggish, so he doesn't want to use this as a bargain.

If it's high, it's high, this thing is worth far more than one hundred and fifty gold coins to him, and even two more zeros are a good deal! Barry nodded and agreed with the price, "So, what about this lantern?"

"For the sake of your rare refreshment, I'll give it to you for nothing. "But I have to tell you in advance, this item is cursed." โ€

"Any item given away for free is good, even if it has a curse. "Give me another map and some gadgets for travel." โ€
