Chapter Eighty-Seven: Selling and Buying (Part II)
The trade lasted almost a meal, a little longer. Most of the time is spent haggling for items that are not easy to determine.
Barrett was particularly sensitive at this time, and he spoke clearly and eloquently. If you can play a trick, you can play an emotional card, and if you can ask for an extra copper coin, you can ask for an extra copper coin.
It is only when he fights and bargains that his brain is able to function to its fullest, and the rest of the time, Barrett is not so much thinking as unconsciously talking to himself.
It's nothing, the vast majority of Nords are not good at doing things with their brains.
During this time, three more groups of adventurers came to the grocery store, the first group was four people, two of whom Barrett knew. They bought two large bundles of rope, a bag of disposable glowing stones with the 'Illumination' attached, several pickaxes, three magic traps with the 'Burning Hand' attached, two bottles of normal healing potions, and two vials of vitality potions.
It's a lot of money, and it's clear that this group of adventurers is ready to make a big deal.
Especially for those bottles of elixir, ordinary healing elixirs cost 60 gold coins a bottle, which can quickly heal some minor injuries that are not broken tendons and bones, and also have a certain relieving effect on serious injuries, while vitality potions cost 50 gold coins a bottle, which can continue to recover the fatigue caused by long-term exercise.
As for the high-grade potion like the 'Filinka Severed Limb Regeneration Elixir' that Snake Lizard Jon used before, its value can reach thousands of gold coins. After all, the effect of the potion, like its name, is really capable of regenerating severed limbs.
The second group of visitors were two adventurers who looked somewhat alike, and it seemed that they should be brothers. When they saw Barrett making a deal, they politely sat down on a bench a little further away from the counter and waited.
The third group of adventurers only entered the door and showed their heads, and when they found that someone was trading and someone was waiting, they turned around and left. Anyway, this is Galano, and there are still many places to buy adventurers' loot.
Barrett sold a total of 383 gold, 52 silver, and 18 bronze for all of his belongings, which was the total amount of coins he got after emptying the Spatial Ring of everything he didn't need.
This is also the reason why many people want to be risk-takers even at the risk of losing their lives. This profession does make money relatively quickly, and on the contrary, the risk is also high.
The most expensive of these items was actually a large piece of amber wrapped in a small twinkle butterfly, and Dave directly offered a high price of 150 gold coins for this item, much to Barrett's surprise.
He didn't know that the price of such things as amber was not high, and even the kind with things wrapped inside was often found in the Misty Forest. But Dave said that the butterfly wrapped in this piece of amber is not an ordinary rotten street species, this butterfly with two pairs of wings, each of which has a white crescent-like pattern on each blue-blue wing, is a rare moon butterfly on the mainland.
Both the Lunar and Solar Butterflies usually appear in pairs, symbolizing unyielding love. The wings of the Solar Butterfly glow during the day, but because it is daytime, it is not noticeable even if it is glowing, unless it is on a dark and cloudy day, and the wings of the Lunar Butterfly shine at night, and the light is no different from the cold moonlight.
According to Dave, if you find a special master jeweler, carve it carefully, and then find a professional auction house to package it, it should be easy to sell it for a high price of thousands of gold coins, and if you run into a big boss who is not bad for money, tens of thousands of gold coins are also possible. Dave believes that many ladies will like to wear this beautiful butterfly around their necks, and it is also a great gift for a lover.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Barritt, as long as he can earn the 150 gold coins that seem to be picked up for nothing, he is already very content.
However, Dave's words made Barriet's heart enliven again: although the Moonlight Butterfly is not easy to find, the Purple Night Moth is easy to find, and it can often be seen in the Misty Forest. And the purple night moth also glows, if you catch more and seal it in melted amber, it will probably be able to sell it for a price, Barrett thought to herself.
But will the dead Spodoptera still glow? Barrett recalled, it seemed that it couldn't, but the Moonlight Butterfly could, why was that?
Forget it, I don't want to.
Barrett put all the coins away and asked Dave, "You're here, huh...... Is there anything special?"
"What kind of thing is special?" Dave was a little confused.
"That's it, well, how to put it. Barrett didn't know what kind of thing was special, and he didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a long time, so he casually said one, "It's the kind of thing with a relatively old history." ”
"Want to pick up the leak?" said Dave's mouth with an inexplicable smile, "Go ahead, take that dead dryad specimen as the benchmark, and count the third and fourth chests on the right, the contents on them are all for people like you." I can assure you that it's definitely very old, but it's mostly useless. If no one wants it for another hundred years, your pig's tooth pendant will definitely be placed on it. ”
Barrett chuckled, he knew that many young adventurers liked to go to the grocery store to exchange things, and those young people thought they could be lucky enough to find unexpected goodies, even artifacts, among those things that no one wanted.
He used to scoff at this kind of whimsical person, but with the identification system that comes with the [Mission Log], Barrett really has the slightest chance of finding good things that are only for him.
The pine cabinets were painted dark brown, and the layers of tables were littered with all sorts of strange things:
I don't know what kind of fossil bug (like a dragonfly with three tails), a clearly carved statue of a fallen angel (the paint has fallen off when touched), a patterned stone plate with a line of writing written in goblin language on the back of the stone plate (Barrett knows that it is goblin language, but does not understand the meaning of that line), a large jar of dark green liquid (the label on the can says "slime's body fluid"), a collar made of the finger bones of various creatures (very scary), An old lunch box (which also contained a tablecloth and two pairs of fairly sharp knives and forks), a clay model of the Naga Siren (each arm holding a different weapon), a set of cards with obscene goblin motifs (who has such a bad taste), and a quaint door plate (with a bronze dragon carved on the door plate, the text Barrett also did not recognize......
Barrett decided that he should learn other languages when he had the opportunity to at least help identify objects.
He looked at it the same way, some of the items were just a glance, while others he held in his hand and stared at them for a long time, then shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and put them back in their place.
"Could it be that this thing has a history, too?" he raised his hand to pick up a potted plant with killer vine seedlings from the cabinet, and the young vine felt Barrett's presence, and was twisting its body to roll up Barrett's palm little by little.
Dave was receiving the other two adventurers at this time, and he turned his head to look, "Be careful, don't break it." "It's for catching insects, can you see the air-dried lizard-man head next to the potted plant, and although it's dried without a trace of moisture, there are still all kinds of small insects that want to taste it?" ”
"Lizardman, I thought it was a lizardhead. Barrett put the potted plant back in its place, and the killer vine seedlings inside were still reluctantly reaching out to him.
"If it's just a look, the heads of the lizardmen are really not very distinguishable from many large lizards. One of the adventurers who was trading interjected, "The same goes for kobolds and kobolds." He was proud that he could speak something like a smooth tongue fluently.
"And the Minotaur and the Ox. His brother added.
"And the gnolls and the jackals. "Not to be outdone, the adventurers who spoke at first were not to be outdone.
"This ......," his brother thought, then clapped his hands and said happily. "And snake people and snakes. ”
Barrett ignored them, and he continued to investigate.
When the two brothers left, they were still discussing the question of "human heads". After that, two more groups of customers came to the store, and after selling a few small things, they left quickly.
Then, there was a rare silence in the store. Dave didn't rush Barrett, but went about his own business in silence.
I don't know how long it took, Barrett finally stopped his "treasure digging" work. He sat down in his chair, rubbing his eyes with both hands, looking very painful.
Beside him, there were two items that had been found from the cabinet.
