Chapter 52: Monte's Discontent
Under the indignant gaze of the female clerk, Rocky reluctantly left the store and did not figure out the situation until he came out.
Did you just say something wrong?
Shaking his head in confusion, he didn't bother too much, and walked directly to the second store.
After entering the second store, Rocky still inquired about the price of magic equipment as before, and asked again if there was any cheapest magic equipment, the cheaper the better, even if it was not inlaid with small magic stones, but micro magic stones.
As a result, as soon as he said this request, the clerk hurriedly shook his head, although he didn't look at him coldly like the female clerk just now, but he didn't pay much attention to him afterwards.
In fact, Rocky doesn't know that the people who can work in the weapon shop are experts, and these people all know a basic common sense, that is, the minimum standard for magic equipment is to inlay a small magic stone, and only equipment inlaid with at least a small magic stone can be called magic equipment, if it is lower than this standard, it cannot be called magic equipment.
Lodge's request was obviously lower than this minimum standard, so it was naturally in vain.
However, after hitting the wall twice in a row, Rocky still did not give up, but became more persevering, and every time he went to a store, he would ask as he did the previous two times, so he went to seven or eight stores in a row, and he had no intention of stopping at all.
However, the hard work paid off, and after walking more than a dozen stores in a row and walking several streets, he finally found what he was looking for in a small shop in the middle of nowhere!
"Yes, this lord, we have what you want!"
When the boss with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek face listened to Rocky's request, he immediately showed a smile: "My lord, you wait for me here." ”
After saying this, the boss turned around and went to the back room of the store, and after a while, he came out with a round shield.
Coming to Rocky with a round shield, the boss said with a smile: "My lord, this is the magic equipment you want, no matter from the workmanship or material, it looks like normal magic equipment, and ......"
At the same time, the boss turned over the shield in his hand and pointed to a magic stone inlaid on the back: "And you see, although this magic stone can only provide the magic energy of a miniature magic stone, its appearance and size are exactly the same as a small magic stone, and it is absolutely impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake!"
After saying this, the boss smiled at Rocky, showing a 'you know' expression.
Judging from the various performances of this boss, it is obvious that he thinks of Rocky as a liar who sells fake magic equipment!
That's right, the magic shield he introduced to Rocky is a fake!
Although this shield is inlaid with a magic stone, it is a miniature magic stone, although it looks exactly the same as a small magic stone, and it can indeed provide magic energy, but the magic energy provided cannot meet the needs of battle, it is a veritable fake magic energy equipment.
This is also the reason why Rocky kept hitting a wall in the previous store, because the magic equipment he described seemed to the previous clerks to be completely buying fakes!
For regular weapons shops, the practice of selling inferior weapons and equipment is absolutely prohibited, because it is directly related to the credibility of the store, and even to the most basic moral bottom line.
What are weapons and equipment used for?
It's for fighting!
Therefore, once there is a problem with the quality of weapons and equipment, it is a big matter of life, and no weapon store dares to play tricks on this issue, otherwise the store will be finished if something happens.
It's just that there are no absolutes in everything, and when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, so although I know that selling inferior weapons and equipment is a lack of morality, there are still some traitors who secretly do this kind of business behind their backs, such as the current boss.
Of course, Rocky didn't know about these things before, but when he saw the boss's face in front of him, he basically understood what was going on.
But after that, not only did he not say anything, but he also took the fake magic shield and looked at it, and then nodded with great satisfaction, as if this shield was very much in line with his heart!
"My lord, can you take a step to speak?"
At this moment, when Rocky was looking at the shield in his hand and nodding, Monte, who had been following him for a day, finally couldn't help it and called him aside.
"My lord, are you planning to buy equipment for the guards?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Unconsciously looking at Monte, Rocky looked very strange, as if Monte was knowingly asking.
In fact, Monte was indeed knowingly asking, because since Rocky took him to Nightless God City, he basically didn't treat him as an outsider, and nothing was done behind his back, so Monte did know Rocky's thoughts.
But it was precisely because he knew what Rocky wanted to do that Monte asked this question, and he was trying to remind Rocky!
Therefore, seeing that Rocky didn't understand what he meant at all, Monte had no choice but to further say, "My lord, are you planning to replace the guards in Thunderhawk City with new equipment, and then lead them to carry out the mission of the mercenary guild together?"
"That's right. ”
"My lord, I don't think this kind of shield can be used at all if you really want to do this, after all, the mercenary guild is mostly tasked with facing demons. ”
Glancing at Rocky, Monte said bluntly.
Although he had only been with Rocky for two days, Monte basically knew the situation of the city lord, that is, he was not rich, but this did not make Monte look down on Rocky, in fact, on the contrary, it made Monte admire him even more.
Because of Rocky's various performances after coming to the Sleepless God City, Monte saw it, he had spent all his time drinking in the Nightless God City like other city lords or nobles, you must know that Rocky is not without this condition, even if he is poor, tens of thousands of gold coins can still be taken out, and this money is enough to play in the Nightless God City for several days.
But Rocky didn't do that, he saved almost all the money, he didn't spend it once, and the few expenses he had were for a clear purpose.
And his series of actions also left a very good impression on Monte, and even made Monte have the idea of staying by his side, if he can follow such a city lord, Monte thinks it is not bad.
But Rocky's performance today disappointed Monte!
Monte knew that he was planning to buy equipment for the guards, and he knew that Rocky was not rich, but even if he was not rich, he shouldn't buy such shoddy fake magic shields for his guards, right!?
This practice has completely exceeded the limit of what Monte can bear!
If Rocky plans to take on the mission of the Mercenary Guild, it means that he will lead his guards to fight on land and fight demons on land!
And once the battle breaks out, with this kind of fake magic shield, what will happen to the guards of Thunder Eagle City? Let the soldiers use this kind of fake shield to fight the demons, isn't Rocky tantamount to joking with the lives of his subordinates!
So Monte couldn't help it.
He felt he had to warn Rocky, because this was no longer like a human being, and even the most cold-blooded and stingy city lord would not do such a thing!
