Chapter 8 Trading
The shopkeeper with gold roses was a very kind big fat man, and his eyes were sunk into the pile of fat like white bread on his face with a smile, and when he saw Tang Mo, he hurried two steps under his feet and squeezed the guy behind him. The poor guy www.biquge.info had to be blocked by a mountain of meat, Tang Mo listened to the painful thumping sound of the stairs, and was very worried that the fat shopkeeper would roll down the broken stairs at any time.
"White Bread" finally walked up to Tang Mo and prepared to make a formal courtesy to the nobles, but Tang Mo stopped this action. He was skeptical that "White Bread" would be able to control his balance, and if such a mountain of meat fell, he would not be able to bear the weight of at least 200 pounds at hand, and if that kind of bad situation really happened, maybe he could consider changing to a lich in advance!
Tang Mo waved his hand, interrupting the fat shopkeeper's words, and he said concisely: "Magic equipment, boots, magic robes, magic staffs, accessories, magic books...... All of it, bring out the best. After speaking, I felt comfortable, quite a kind of pleasure of local tyrants chartering consumption, and it was also the most high-end consumption place in the city.
The fat shopkeeper likes this kind of rich man the most, and the smile on his face is even brighter, and the pair of small eyes are almost invisible, he hurriedly said: "Distinguished guest upstairs, please, the following are just some common goods, you must not look at it in your eyes, we have a lot of treasured magic items upstairs, please come with me." ”
When he got upstairs, the fat shopkeeper first took out a few robes, and a pure white robe attracted his attention. This robe looks exquisitely made, cut properly, and feels very soft and warm to the touch, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly introduced: "This is made of the best moon cloth and sewn with the silk thread of the ice silkworm, you look at this material, and then look at this workmanship, isn't it exquisite?"
He said ostentatiously: "This material can actually be used to make high-level mage robes, and only we are willing to use them as low-level robes with gold-inlaid roses." If you look at the magic pattern line on it, the number of protective spells that can be attached to it is more than three times that of the same level of magic robes! This is understandable, it was originally enough to withstand a fifth-level spell, but now it is used as a low-level spell magic pattern, you can imagine the surprise when the enemy can't break through your defenses!"
"It has only one drawback, and that is...... Expensive!"
"How expensive?" Tang Mo asked casually, stroking his robe.
The fat shopkeeper glanced at Tang Mo, and spit out a number with his chubby cheeks: "Ten thousand gold coins." ”
10,000 gold coins! Tang Mo immediately had the urge to give him a fireball technique, do you know how much 10,000 gold coins are? An ordinary family of four only needs a few silver coins to meet the family's food and drink consumption for a month!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied gloomily, "It has another drawback...... It's too conspicuous. ”
The fat shopkeeper tried to open his eyes wide to show his anger, "What is conspicuous? This is magnificent! Aren't you a noble lord with a good demeanor and the attention of all people? Only this level of light can attract the attention of a lady!"
"Of course, it also attracts the attention of the archers. Tang Mo was unmoved, and continued to refute the fat shopkeeper cruelly: "Even standing in the middle of a group of mages, I am the first to be warmly greeted, maybe I can consider becoming a great heavy armor warrior?"
The fat shopkeeper argued, "You don't have to worry at all, your guards can completely block those cold arrows for you, not to mention that there are enough protective spells attached to them." ”
"Not a bad idea, and then I'll have to match it with a mage hat, right?" Tang Mo said sarcastically.
The fat shopkeeper didn't seem to hear his sarcasm at all, and he enthusiastically introduced: "Of course, you can take a look at our goods, and our mage hat is also the best. ”
Tang Mo ignored him and pulled out a black hooded one from the middle of a pile of robes, "This one is very good, how much is it?"
"Although this one is also very good, I still recommend this white one...... Okay, how about 5,000? Don't? How about 10,000 for those two?"
Tang Mo pointed to the other one and said coldly: "No, three." ”
It was not a robe but a garment worn inside, the apricot yellow fabric and embroidered patterns indicated that it was a garment used by a female mage, with some simple magic patterns such as dusting and warmth attached to it, but it was very beautifully done.
The fat shopkeeper reacted and immediately agreed to the deal, and then took out a few more staff for the mage to choose from. One of them is particularly conspicuous, not only reflecting the gorgeous style of gold-inlaid roses, but also the body of the thorn willow wood and the luxurious gem at the top are even more distinctive, and the shopkeeper introduced that this staff can accelerate spell casting by 30%, which can greatly shorten the mage's cast time and improve the success rate of spells, and comes with a fireball spell.
At this time, two people came in at the door downstairs, one was wearing light armor boots, a small round shield and a long sword hanging from his waist, and his helmet hung casually on his back, looking like a mercenary. The other was wearing the cloth robe of a mage apprentice, and there was no special mark on his chest, just like Tang Mo now, and it was difficult to tell the mage level.
The guy standing downstairs greeted him and asked what the guests wanted. The swordsman shook his head, indicating that he had only come with the mage, and that he needed some magic cores and a staff to take advantage of.
"Dennis, what do you think of these goods?" the swordsman looked at the items on the first floor, and felt that it was unlikely that a discerning companion would choose these things, but even if it was just these, it would not be too cheap.
He couldn't help but touch his money bag, this time he came to Constanta to perform a mission, and his employer gave him a lot of compensation, but working in this country full of undead, it is best to have a necromancer in the team, so that there is a high chance of avoiding some unnecessary trouble.
However, mages themselves are very rare, and necromancers even reject them as mercenaries from the realm of light, plus they are only a small mercenary group, and no mages are willing to join. Two days ago, it was not easy to find this mage named Dennis, but the other party asked to purchase some equipment, and the captain instructed the group accountkeeper to follow, but hinted that he could not spend too much money.
The mage looked left and right, and it was rare that he was willing to pay, and he decided to pick out a few things that he would not normally be willing to buy, but soon his attention was attracted by the beautiful maid sitting in a chair drinking tea, an apprentice like him who did not usually have access to such a beautiful woman. "Alone, beautiful maid, can you know your name?"
Cecil gave him a cold look and did not speak. Dennis was a little unwilling, Cecil's dress was clearly owned by a nobleman, and if he offended, he would offend her master. But he was already a senior apprentice at a young age, and felt that the future was limitless, and perhaps her master didn't mind giving her to himself? As for her own thoughts, what was it? she just had to obey obediently.
Jeffrey was not willing to let this happen, and any situation that could ruin the mission should be nipped in the bud, he interrupted the mage's thoughts, and urged, "Please hurry, Mr. Mage, we don't have much time, hurry up and choose what you need." ”
Dennis thought about it for a while, the most important thing now is to choose a few good pieces of equipment to enhance his strength, are you afraid of a lack of women with strength? He reluctantly retracted his gaze and picked out the magic items displayed in the store. After looking at a few staffs in a row, the mage didn't feel very satisfied, and the price was not cheap, any ordinary staff cost thousands of gold coins, and there was no special effect, just to make it easier to cast spells.
Jeffrey suddenly heard a wonderful sound full of rhythm in his ears, he didn't react to the situation for a while, but his years of mercenary life still made him subconsciously grab the shield and sword: "Alert!" After shouting these words, Jeffrey realized that it was a spell cast by a mage.
Without waiting for him to make any further moves, Tang Mo greeted him warmly, as if he had seen a friend he hadn't seen for a long time: "Dennis, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing? Who is this next to you?
Dennis, the mage's apprentice, felt his mind go into a trance, and the person in front of him became extremely kind in his eyes, like an old friend who had known him for more than ten years, and he could talk about everything. He involuntarily replied, "Oh, it's not too bad. This is Jeffrey, you ask, he's not a bodyguard, he's my companion in the mercenary group. ”
Dennis took Jeffrey up to the second floor, wanting to introduce Tang Mo to Jeffrey, but he couldn't remember Tang Mo's name, he hesitated and said, "This is ......"
It's normal that he can't remember, he doesn't know Tang Mo at all. Before, he observed Cecil with a greedy look for a long time, and tried to go up and talk to him, as a normal man, Tang Mo naturally couldn't tolerate this situation. The mercenary reacted quickly, but that level was not enough, the staff with a 30% cast acceleration was indeed very useful, and in just two seconds, a spell that charmed the human was successfully cast on the mage apprentice. This level 1 spell can turn a humanoid creature into his friend and also allow him to do things he didn't want to do.
Tang Mo didn't introduce his plans, he interrupted Dennis's words, and shouted exaggeratedly: "What you said is not too bad, look at your appearance, I can't believe that you are the Dennis I remember!"
He patted Dennis on the chest, "Look at the clothes you're wearing? Is this a robe or a rag? It's so rotten and so dirty! Look at your face, did you just crawl out of the coffin?"
He took Dennis's hand again, "As a mage, don't you even have a ring? Also, why don't you use a staff? Do you think you're an archmage? Even an archmage would prepare a staff to take advantage of?"
......
He said a lot in one breath, and Dennis explained in embarrassment and panic: "Because the previous one was accidentally broken...... Haven't I come to buy again?...... Don't worry, I have enough gold. He pulled Jeffrey next to him and boasted, "This friend will pay the bill for me." ”
Geoffrey had nothing to do with Dennis, he could only nod his head blankly, and at the same time hoped that this damn mage wouldn't waste too much gold, otherwise the head of the regiment would be able to peel off his own skin when he went back later!
Tang Mo gave the fat shopkeeper a knowing look, although the latter didn't quite understand why Tang Mo wanted to help him cheat his friend, but as a qualified profiteer, he would not be the slightest polite in this kind of matter.
The fat shopkeeper quickly brought all the most valuable items he could find, and Tang Mo enthusiastically helped Dennis choose them on the side, so as not to make his "old friend" look too shabby.
The robe recommended by the fat shopkeeper was introduced by Tang Mo as if showing off: "The best moon cloth is made of material, and it is sewn with the silk thread of the ice silkworm, you look at this material, and then look at this workmanship, isn't it exquisite? Look at the magic pattern line on it, the number of protective spells that can be attached to it is more than three times that of the same level of robes! How much do you ask? It's not expensive at all, as long as 10,000 gold coins, I will give you a 20% discount, 8,000 gold coins, and the deal! The other two pieces are considered to be given to you, only 2,000 gold coins!"
"Of course, the staff can't be missing, this one in my hand is good, 10,000, it can't be less!What? You are too expensive? This swordsman, you don't understand the meaning of this staff to a mage!" Tang Mo held Geoffrey's hand without a trace, pulled him and stroked the beautiful staff.
Trance Spells!This spell casts quickly and doesn't require spells, the only downside being that it requires physical contact. But it works great, it can make a creature fall into a trance and can't think!
Seducing humans and trance, two spells successfully brought down two mercenaries, and everything was too easy after that. There was no need to waste words at all, Tang Mo helped them buy robes, staffs, magic books, boots, amulets, philosopher's stones, emerald green inscriptions, and magic cores...... These cost a full 100,000 gold coins!
Originally, I wanted to buy more, but these were already all the money on the two of them, and it was not possible to figure out all the activity funds of this mercenary group? The fat shopkeeper saw that the two of them really had no oil and water, so he had to regretfully stop it. Although he was forced to make a lot of discounts under Tang Mo's verbal offensive, there is no such thing as a businessman who operates at a loss, and he has really made a lot of money in this business!
The fat shopkeeper was very happy to respectfully send a few people out, and Tang Mo was also very happy, because the things that the two of them bought with 100,000 gold coins were all into his storage ring.
The fat shopkeeper was not worried that the mercenaries would come back to trouble him, it was a matter of course to hand over the money face-to-face and deliver the goods with one hand, as for why the goods would be handed over to Tang Mo, it was a matter between their "friends". If the mercenaries are unreasonable, the gold-studded roses are not a place to be reasonable!
