Chapter 129: Meteorite Iron
After coming out of the secret door and walking out of the alley where the secret door was, Adès realized that this secret door was not the same as the one Carl had brought them in just now.
Looking at the dirty roads around her, the dilapidated houses, and the numb eyes of passers-by, which was very different from the hotel where Ades lived before, although Mia was worried about the recurve blade wrapped in sackcloth in Adez's hand, she also began to be alert when she saw the surrounding environment.
In a cargo transit station like the port of Ambo, the wharf workers, pirates disguised as sailors, gangsters in the port, plus adventurers, low-level professionals, and complex personnel will be grouped, and it is natural to divide the sphere of influence.
The place where Adès is now is where these personnel like to be permanent, because Adès guesses that this may be a slum, there is no law here, underground gangs and gang forces are the law here, there are no city defense soldiers here, and gang members are soldiers who maintain social order here.
The most important thing is that the construction of houses here has not been planned at all, and the natural alleys are chaotic, and first-time visitors cannot discern the direction at all, and it is not easy to get out if there is no one to lead the way.
Ades and Mia glanced at each other, both felt a little troublesome, Ades is a ranger, has a lot of experience in analyzing the environment and discerning directions, looking at the sun in the sky, compared to the changes in the surrounding buildings, Ades slowly took Mia out of the slum.
In an alley with a little more pedestrians, a group of women were surrounding an old woman, listening to her preach this, Adès and Mia avoided the middle-aged and old women, and slowly walked out of the slum, and Adès, who was slowly moving forward, caught what the old woman was preaching.
"The mother of the plague is in every human being, and weakening and corroding from within is her great strength. ”
Adeston frowned.
When he heard the old woman preach that everyone would religiously contribute their wealth to the plague mother, Adès almost stopped.
He and Mia walked away from the place where the women had gathered. On the corner of the street, I looked back at the old woman who was preaching some theory, she was emaciated and languid, and her face was tattooed with an unknown religious tattoo. In a humble but compassionate manner, he is preaching something religious to a group of middle-aged and elderly women.
Mia saw him stop, and for a moment she didn't know what was wrong. He tugged at his cloak and pulled Adès out of his observant state, he shook his head at Mia to indicate that he was fine, and then pulled the little maid to find a carriage passing through the slums, and returned the golden amber.
"Young master, what did that knife take advantage of, you can say it now. "Mia had lunch with Adès. Lying in the small garden on the third floor, basking in the sun, Mia took out the knife wrapped in linen and asked Adès about it.
Adès ripped the linen around the Kukri knife, picked it up, and looked at it in the sunlight for a while, then he beckoned to Mia to look at the knife as well.
Ades pointed to several places on the blade that had been polished and said to Mia, "Look here, and here. They all have a long square pattern, which is not the satin pattern of forging, but the material of the knife itself. ”
Mia doesn't understand this. Then he asked suspiciously, "Young Master, are you saying that there is a problem with the material of this knife?"
Ades nodded, looked at the recurve knife that had been rusted and then ground extremely thin, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this knife has a very precious material infiltrated into it, and that is Star Iron. ”
Mia picked up the knife and looked at the blade, Star Iron she knew that it was extracted from the meteor, extremely hard, with the same hardness as Adamantite, and the most important thing was that Star Iron had an intrinsic magical connection with the main material plane. This allows the Star Iron weapon to work wonders when it comes to restraining otherworldly creatures.
But isn't the pattern forged by the star iron supposed to be a hexagonal star? This is a long strip! She looked at Ades suspiciously, and said, "Young Master, you read it right? This is a long pattern." How could it be Star Iron. ”
"It's because the blacksmith who forged this knife is not strong enough, and the furnace used is not at a good temperature. If the star iron is not completely melted, the melted star iron will be recrystallized, and it will be hexagonal. "Adès was quite sure about this, because Hunter had told him in detail about several high-end magic metals suitable for making weapons.
After Ades found out, he learned about these metals in detail from various magic books, so he was quite confident in his judgment.
When Mia heard this, her hand holding the knife couldn't help but shake, you must know that Star Iron is a magic metal of the same grade as Adamantite, and its rarity is even rarer than Adamantite, because Adamantite still has veins to be mined, but Star Iron falls from mid-air, and the source is even more scarce.
Therefore, its price is also more expensive than that of pure gold weapons, a weapon completely forged by star iron, at least five thousand gold coins can be bought, this is still the lowest price, generally star iron forged weapons, either specially ordered by private individuals, or sold at auctions for high-priced things, ordinary people don't even have a chance to see it.
Seeing that the little maid was at a loss for what to do with the recurve knife, Ades reached over and shook her head, and said to her: "The star iron content in this knife is very small, otherwise you would think that it would be cut like this so easily, and it has been soaked for countless years, and the blade has lost at least half of it, so it is not as precious as you imagined." ”
"That's expensive, young master, how much do you estimate the material of this knife is worth?"
Ades took the knife and weighed the weight of the knife again, the blade of this knife is only a thin layer, it is better to say that it is a knife than a blade, and it is about two pounds in weight, and generally a knife of this length has at least four to six pounds in weight, that is, the knife has lost at least half to two-thirds of its mass.
Adès counted the patterns on the recurve knife and said to Mia: "This knife is not purely made of star iron, it is made of stainless steel with star iron, which is considered an alloy, and the star iron in it will not exceed half a pound, that is, the weight of eight ounces, or even less." ”
Mia began to count with her fingers, a six-pound sword made of star iron is five thousand gold coins, then the average one pound is eight hundred and three, and half a pound is about four hundred gold coins.
"Young master, this is not very valuable, you still say that you have taken a big advantage. "Mia has seen too many gold coins recently, and she doesn't feel much about a few hundred gold coins anymore, so she can't help but complain about Ades.
While wrapping up the recurve knife, Ades looked at the little maid with disdain and said, "Twenty gold coins have changed to four hundred, twenty times the profit, this is not a bargain? ”
In the next few days, Ades took Mia out every day, or in the market, or to the shopping street, there was no such thing as picking up leaks, it was impossible that everyone didn't have eyes, and there was something for you to pick up every day, but Ades squatted in the adventurer's hotel for a few days.
After comparing and judging that these prices were real and valid, Adès began to purchase, and by the way, he also bought some special products shipped from the Far East, such as some rare ceramics, some silk, and so on.
Ades has a space bag on his body, for this kind of reselling transaction, it is the most suitable for him, and Ades has a lot of capital, and he swallowed tens of thousands of gold coins of goods silently, so he can't say that he can definitely earn 1,000 or hundreds of gold coins.
Originally, Mia was still very puzzled by Ades's behavior, but later heard that she could make money, so she immediately followed Ades, and she also asked Ades, "Young Master, why don't you buy large quantities of goods, such as grain and timber." ”
Ades rolled his eyes and said: "There are only a limited number of things that can be contained in the space bag, and there must be priority for things with high value, and magic materials are the most suitable." ”
Soon, five days passed, and there were no unexpected things in between, such as black eating black when buying goods, or things like others looking down on him and thinking he had no money when purchasing goods, which made Ades a little disappointed, he hadn't fought for a while, and his hands were itchy.
"Distinguished guests, you take a slow walk and welcome to the Golden Amber next time. "Ades left the hotel just as the attendants were changing shifts, and a group of beautiful maidens were at the door to see him and Mia off.
Some people even looked at Mia with jealousy, because in just five days, in addition to the original house price, Adès also spent a lot of gold coins here, such as the characteristic aromatherapy massage, for example, a lot of ingredients were purchased, and the chef was asked to process it additionally, plus a tip for the attendants, and when he finally left, the total settlement amount reached more than thirty gold coins, which was enough for a poor person to live for a year.
The attendants rarely saw such a generous guest, and at the beginning introduced the room to one of Ades' attendants, Adès gave a reward of almost a gold coin before and after, maybe those attendants knew about it, and every time they saw Ades, they were very attentive, and they wanted to send themselves to Ades's bed, which made Mia very nervous, because when she went out, Eviss specifically told her that Adès was not allowed to provoke women casually.
And Mia and Evis have a tacit consensus, if Ades is looking for a woman, it is better to serve him by himself, and besides, Mia was originally Adess's maid, and it is natural to serve his own lord.
So Mia has never had any scruples, and when Ades took a bath, she also went in to help rub her back, if it weren't for Ades that Mia was now in a period of strength growth, she was afraid that there would be any accidents, and she would have swallowed Mia into her stomach a long time ago.
It is very difficult to suppress one's (sexual) (desire) with a dragon vein, and Ades' willpower is already very strong. (To be continued)
