Chapter 16: Sherlock

This earring was snatched by Du Yuqi from Bai Shura, and even the power of destruction could not destroy it, so Du Yuqi felt very curious, so he took it with him. The master of the shield of Su Murmur has been dealing with flames and metals all day long, immersed in it for decades, and his experience in this area can be said to be extremely rich.

In the end, even Jace, who was obsessed with studying the Shadowless Sword, was alarmed, and he squinted his red eyes to examine the earring for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I don't know anything about it, but if there's anyone who knows where it came from, it's the old drunkard Sherlock, who has lived hundreds of years and is extremely knowledgeable, treacherous, greedy, and eccentric. Originally, we still had business dealings with him, but a few years ago because of an incident that completely made a bad deal with him, so we couldn't directly use the relationship to help you. ”

"One thing you have to keep in mind, though, that Sherlock is extremely treacherous, but he has a clever mind because of the shenanigans, so this guy is very faithful to his promise, and if you succeed in getting him to make a promise, this guy will definitely do it. ”

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. ”

About an hour later, Du Yuqi appeared on the black market on the West Coast.

Just as where there is light, there must be shadows, behind the prosperity of the West Coast, there must also be a large number of black and gray industrial chains, which are concentrated in the black market, and the location of the black market is less than two kilometers away from the most prosperous Shell Street on the West Coast at this time.

Unlike what Du Yuqi had envisioned before, the black market did not look dirty, or full of intrigue, trickery, and crime, but it looked like a neatly cleaned street with babbling streams on both sides of the street.

On both sides of the street, about every six meters, there is even a diamond-shaped flower stand, which is planted with Belmar bluebells------- which is also the city flower of the West Coast----- at this time is in bloom, the palm-sized leaves sway slightly in the night breeze, if the bell-shaped blue flowers spit out a trace of fragrance in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy when walking on the road.

On both sides of the street, there are many elderly people shaking their fans happily, chatting while boiling local barley tea and drinking, or playing beast chess in groups, looking leisurely.

The only thing that seems a little special is that there are more shops on both sides of the street, and they are all brightly lit, and some of the stores have no customers at all, even among the best stores, the customers are sparse, and the business seems quite deserted.

The steward who led the way for Du Yuqi looked at Du Yuqi's slightly surprised expression, and told him in a low voice that the black market has existed since the establishment of the West Coast, and now there is an effective system, and the black market presented in front of Du Yuqi at this time is actually a secondary market, and the bottom black market is traded in the dark sewers, which is the most primitive and bloody area.

To put it simply, the black market in front of Du Yuqi at this time is equivalent to a regular vegetable market, and the goods entering it have been processed once in advance, while the muddy vegetable field and the bloody slaughterhouse are in another place, so it can appear so orderly.

After reaching the intersection, the steward whispered a few words to Du Yuqi, and then he left. Du Yuqi looked up at the front, and walked over to a shop in front of him that was still lit, and the signboard of this shop was very distinctive, it was actually hung together with a canned box similar to tatters, and the lid was hung together, and the wind blew and rattled, which looked like a poor man's version of the wind chime, which made people almost laugh out loud.

When Du Yuqi pushed open the door of the store, he found that the furnishings inside were similar to those of a grocery store, but the goods on the shelves were strange, with shrunken human heads, organs soaked in jars, and the bones of a dead bird that had been reconnected, and the black hole in the eyes was clear.

At the same time, there was an indescribable smell in the air, which was very disgusting, and there was a gurgling sound in the back of the shop, as if it was boiling something sticky like rice soup or paste.

Du Yuqi knocked on the table, and then said loudly:

"Anyone?"

Soon, a goblin walked out from the back of the shop, with black skin and small head, and he looked very young, but he had a pair of big nostrils, and when he looked up at people, the big nostrils were particularly obvious in the black holes, and the little goblin looked at Du Yuqi a few times with the eyes of a thief, and said vigilantly:

"What are you doing?"

Du Yuqi said:

"I heard that you can pawn things here, so of course I'm here to pawn them. ”

The little goblin walked into the counter, carefully plugged in the latch next to it, and then knocked on the big nostrils and said in a thick nasal voice:

"Bring it. ”

Du Yuqi took out a Terra Stone from his bosom and said:

"A family heirloom. ”

The little goblin took it and looked at it, and there was immediately surprise in his eyes, but on the surface he forced to make an expression of indifference, and threw the Terra Stone on the table with a trembling hand, and said in a slightly excited trembling voice:

"No...... Pearls are cheap, one, no, half a gold coin!"

When the child spoke, his big nostrils were closed one by one, and he would suck the snot, and Du Yuqi also felt quite funny:

"Oh, then, you really have a conscience, the last family is only willing to give me ten silver coins. ”

The goblin child's eyes widened all of a sudden, obviously blaming himself very much, feeling that he was not a profiteer enough, and he was not ruthless enough to reduce the price, but he heard Du Yuqi say:

"Well, half a gold coin is too little, and I'll sell you eight silver coins if you add it. ”

The child immediately laughed secretly in his heart, the bargaining level of this guy in front of him was really too poor, and he could be called a standard fat sheep, so he snorted a rough air from his big nostrils:

"No, no! four more silver coins at most. ”

This goblin kid originally thought that he had caught the bottom line of the person in front of him, and this big profit was done, but he didn't expect Du Yuqi to hold back a smile in his heart, and then solemnly shook his head and said:

"Forget it, forget it. ”

While saying that, he walked outside, and the goblin kid was immediately dumbfounded, why didn't this fat sheep follow the routine?

"Hey, hey, come back, I'll add eight silver coins to you. ”

Du Yuqi shook his head and said:

"I pawned this family heirloom pearl because I wanted to find someone to ask about something, but now it seems that your offer is so cheap, it is impossible to invite someone, so I might as well give him the pearl directly as a reward, maybe he will help me answer this question?"

The Goblin Child said suspiciously:

"Who are you going to go to?

Du Yuqi said:

"Of course, I went to the famous Lord Jace and asked about one of my earrings. ”

As soon as Du Yuqi said this, he immediately heard a "snap" sound inside, as if something had been broken, and then a figure rolled out as if it was a violent wind, and roared angrily:

"When did Jace's bastard become famous?"

What came out at this time was an old goblin who looked a little rickety, his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all snow-white, although there were wrinkles on his face, but he was not the kind of old to decay, but he was full of energy, and the things he was wearing were also a patched leather armor, but the old man took care of himself very cleanly, especially his eyes were bright, and he looked very wise.

Obviously, this is the old goblin Sherlock, he squinted at Du Yuqi and said:

"Isn't this the priest who recently knocked on the Templar's mark? What did you do when you came to my Sherlock's shop in the middle of the night? And deliberately said that Terra Stone is a family heirloom, is this to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"

Du Yuqi was stunned, he didn't expect this old thing to be so well-informed, so he said very simply:

"Mr. Sherlock laughed, I came this time, in fact, I really want to ask Mr. Sherlock for help. ”

Sherlock sneered:

"Hehe, even a powerful force like the Holy Church has suffered a big loss from you, how many bones does my old man have that can withstand your toss, hurry up?"

After saying that, Sherlock started to drive people away, and made Du Yuqi cry and laugh, and explained again and again, but this old thing seemed to be very stubborn, and he blasted Du Yuqi out after dividing it by two, and directly made him eat a closed door.

Faced with this situation, Du Yuqi went back to talk to Lori and others, and Lori said that he couldn't do anything, after all, this old goblin is known for his weird temper, and he is also very treacherous, and he wants to make a game to fool him, and most of them are deceived by him and lose their bottoms.
