Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ancient City of the Ancestors (I)
Jacob's house and bazaar are only a few hundred metres away, separated only by a river, and walk through a few uninhabited alleys and past abandoned verdant gardens. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Jacob was already happy in his heart, and when he saw the beautiful scenery all the way, he unconsciously hummed a tune in his mouth, and his steps were a little bigger, but he didn't expect that he had not yet walked more than a hundred steps.
The crowd began to dense, there was a shouting in the ears, and the smell of worldly fireworks became stronger and stronger.
Although Jacob's body hair and skin color are the same as those of ordinary Vikings since he was baptized, Jacob is very jealous in his heart.
After all, Jacob is still a Gentile from the continent of Amicus, which cannot be changed, and the people of this island have formed a bitter enmity with their father, and everyone is eager to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and sleep on his skin.
Thinking about it this way, Jacob naturally had some weakness in his heart, but along the way, all kinds of Vikings were noisy and noisy, and people came and went, and no one noticed Jacob, a former Gentile who had just come from the continent of Amicus.
They all hurried past him without showing any surprise, not even lifting their eyelids.
As he walked around, Jacob began to understand the difference between the bazaar on the island of Affliction and the way of Amicus.
The island is closed, there are many taboos, and the people do not come into contact with outsiders, so the economic circulation is still very simple, and the market is mostly barter. The only currencies in circulation are round and triangular bone coins.
But that was it, and to Jacob's astonishment, the vendors everywhere were mostly selling daggers made of bone, or scimitars made of bone, with the hilt of the white forest exposed.
What attracted Jacob the most was a giant sword made of bone, which was bigger than the deer song on his waist, such a large piece of bone Jacob had never seen before, and he didn't know what kind of creature it was forged from.
The hilt of the sword is slender, gathering on the top of the sword body to form a beautiful small ring, the ring is continuously warped, forming a cross shape, carefully look at the connection between the sword body and the hilt, there is no sense of concave and convex, it is clearly integrated.
Only the edge of the sword is only slightly rough, and it looks very bulky and dull. However, this is clearly not a defect for those who love swords, or even a more perfect creation, but anyone who is good at using a giant sword understands one truth, that is:
"The heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity is not worked. ”
For people with superb swordsmanship, a giant sword without a blade is enough to kill people and punish the heart, and it is rampant in the world, not to mention the bone sword in front of him with transparent color, strong sword body, and affectionate hilt.
Jacob looked at such a pleasing bone sword for a long time, the lines of the sword's body, the curve of the hilt, and the extremely tiny words engraved on the gauntlet, and he unconsciously forgot the time.
The owner of the stall was an old man, with sloppy hair, yellow hair, and a hunched back that he could not even find his neck.
The old man is also a businessman, and when he saw a young man standing in front of his stall for such a long time, he didn't ask for a price, nor did he make any indications, which was obviously occupying the pit and not.
The old man shrugged his eyebrows, and said angrily, "Hey, boy, what do you want to buy?"
Seeing that Jacob did not understand the rules so much, the old man pursed his lips, and his voice suddenly rose a lot.
"Hey, boy?"
Seeing that Jacob still went his own way, so he didn't know how to respect the old and love the young, the old man obviously couldn't help it.
At that moment, the old man stretched out one hand and waved it up to a small play.

"Wow...... It hurts ......."
Yafang took a good look at this giant sword made of bones, and he was out of his mind. Who knows where it came from, and when he came back to his senses, Jacob had already left a red mark on his forehead.
When I looked up, I saw the owner of the stall, a hunchbacked old man, looking at him with a hippie smile and a strange look in his eyes.
Jacob has always been arrogant in the Knights, and at this time, he was actually attacked by a hunchbacked old man, of course, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to scold angrily.
It's just that when he thought that he was now on the island of misery, Jacob swallowed the curse that came to his lips, and immediately straightened his mind and said:
"You...... You...... Elderly...... Why did you take the liberty of attacking me...... If the younger generation has offended, I hope the old man will bear with me......"
Unexpectedly, this old man actually ignored people, glanced his head to another place, and said in a low voice:
"Hmph, it's you who occupy other people's stalls but don't speak, I speak to you in a good voice, but you shouldn't say a word, you deserve it!"
If it weren't for the old man's mouth, Jacob would have had a seizure, and he really had no business, no treachery, no business, no business, and he relied on the old and sold the old alive.
Jacob suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled bitterly, and did not want to pursue so much. I originally came out to relax, so why bother to spoil my good mood for an old immortal.
Now, get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, the hunchbacked old man had no intention of finishing at all, so he actually came out of the stall and whispered to Jacob: "Boy, don't be in a hurry, do you like this big sword made of bone, this is made of the ribs of the blue dragon, and when the sword is swung, it is hard and sharp compared to diamond, and the color of the sword body is transparent like a sapphire of the night when it is cast. Those who are advanced in magic can even use this sword to drive the Nine Heavens of Thunder and Lightning. ”
The fluency of the words came out of the hunchbacked old man's mouth in one go, as Jacob had expected. Although Jacob's cultivation is not high, after all, he travels south and north, and this kind of petty profiteer is everywhere in the continent of Amicus.
When you sell it, you can blow a lump of earwax into a night pearl.
When you buy it, you can count a black iron cuirass into a rotten iron garment - it is not transparent in summer, it is not cold in winter, it is heavy in the water, and it is sonorous on land.
If Jacob hadn't really thought about this bone sword, he would have turned around and left at this moment.
It was because of his heart that Jacob said angrily: "Hugh is going to deceive people, the dragons in this world have long been extinct." ”
The hunchbacked old man didn't realize that Jacob would answer like this, and when he saw Jacob's happy appearance, the old man's voice immediately lowered, and said:
"Boy, do you really not believe me?"
Jacob chuckled and looked like he was leaving, and replied firmly, "I don't believe it." ”
"But all Vikings should have heard the legend of the dragon since childhood, especially in recent days, on the evil continent in the south, the cabinet where the covenant of the gods is placed has been opened, and the demon dragon will surely be revived and returned to the earth......"
Jacob almost burst out laughing when he heard the old Viking hunchbacked man refer to the Armix Road as the evil continent of the South.
It's just that although the old man has been talking nonsense all along, this bone sword is indeed a treasure in Jacob's eyes, and since the old man has the heart to make this deal, he might as well listen to him make a price, maybe the price is still very low.
Thinking of this, Jacob's face sank deliberately, and Liso turned around and pretended to leave, but the old man suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Jacob's sleeve.
"Boy, don't leave yet, you haven't asked how you can leave before you ask the price of this sword?"
This pull really frightened Jacob, although Jacob guessed that the old man would keep him, but he never expected that Lao Tzu would reach out and grab the corner of his clothes. And the strength in his hands is not small, where is this the strength of an old man.
"Deserve it, old man, with all due respect, your sword is too cumbersome and has no blade, I don't like it at all, but I just see you so persistent...... Then tell me how to sell your bone sword......
