Chapter 24: Kate
"I'm obedient......," Rick listened to Carmen's words, silently calculated, and then looked at the palatial furnishings around him, and suddenly felt that he was no longer interested in looking at the contents of the goods, looking at the ......wool!
"Angel, which one do you like? What do you like? I'll buy it for you!" It's a pity that as soon as Xiao Han entered the door and browsed it in general, he went straight to Angel, and he didn't hear what Carmen said in the back, but he didn't hear a word...... Pity this man whose self-confidence has skyrocketed because he has been weighed down by a few gold bricks in his pocket. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, someone pays~ But we haven't seen it yet" Alice excitedly gave Xiao Han a hug, and then ignored Xiao Han, who was as dumbfounded as a pig brother, and continued to turn around, and Angel in front of the huge crystal counter, carefully browsing one by one, and occasionally letting the shopkeeper take out a few pieces to try, fortunately, the price was not written on the label, or it is estimated that Xiao Han's high blood pressure would have broken out early......
Xiao Han also followed the general browse, not to mention, this is also a life of two lives, he has never been to this kind of place, it is still very novel! Seeing that most of the jewelry sold here is all kinds of gemstones, there are also various colored crystals, and in the end, only a small part is made of magic crystals.
This is because although the magic crystal is very beautiful, it has a disadvantage that it is unstable, and sometimes the internal energy will suddenly overflow, so the preservation of the magic crystal is generally put into a special magic array, and it is not reliable to make jewelry, of course, you are not afraid of exploding!
"Angel, do you think I look good with this?" Alice seemed to have found a favorite ornament, and happily asked the shopkeeper in the counter to take out a pair of shiny red crystal earrings and clamp them on her ears, but the long ears with red earrings were like dripping blood, which was a bit strange.
"Alice, your ears are too long for earrings, why don't you try a necklace?" Angel took a step back and frowned, giving her opinion.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Alice had a necklace, and changed his words: "Oh, I almost forgot, you also have the necklace, and you also have the ring, you can't wear it more, and if you bring more, you will become the "nouveau riche" that Xiao Han said!
It is worthy of being the shopkeeper in a big store, although Angel and the two tried a lot and still didn't buy it, but the shopkeeper didn't see any impatience, and still enthusiastically led the three of them to the counter with hairpins and hairpins.
On the other side, the three of Monsay and a wolf were not interested in running over to join in the fun, so they found a group of carved wooden chairs in the corner and sat down, and just after chatting a few words, Monsay suddenly patted his head, as if remembering something, his expression changed, and asked Carmen: "Carmen, you said that this is an important trade route? So can all the people enter here? Even those people can enter?"
"How is that possible!" Carmen replied categorically, "In any case, it has been hostile for thousands of years, and the hatred has long been unravelable, and even their caravans are not allowed to enter the city, because the caravans must carry a lot of armed protection, so in order not to go on business, our caravans and their caravans can only trade with each other in those villages outside." ”
"Then how could anyone come into the city and buy these trinkets?" Rick asked, nodding in understanding. "Didn't you just say that they are the biggest customers here?"
"Oh......" Carmen paused for a moment when she heard this, and then explained: "Because these things are too valuable, and there are too many varieties, so people who don't have much strength will not come to buy these goods, and those nobles want to get the latest goods, so the people in the city have set up such a rule for the sake of taxation, and on the first and fifteenth days of each month, foreign races of less than fifty people can be allowed to come to the city to buy things, but the money must be paid, and two caravans are required as guarantees." ”
"So that's the case, the world is bustling, all because of profit, the world is bustling, all for profit!"
Hearing this, Meng Sai had already vaguely felt that it should be these desert aliens who were targeting Xiao Han, they should have watched Xiao Han enter the city, their strength penetrated into the city with some effort, at least there was no way to take Xiao Han out of the city, so they hurriedly attacked and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Xiao Han, and they almost succeeded, but they didn't expect that the strength around Xiao Han exceeded their expectations, and in the end, it fell short.
"Master Carmen......"
Just when a few people lowered their heads and thought about things, an old man with a well-dressed and gray-haired man came to a few people with a big fruit platter, Carmen looked up and saw that this old man in gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearing he had seen a few days ago, was the person in charge of this store, it seemed to be called Hua Ye, because it was an important part of the city's tax revenue, so he was deeply impressed.
"Huada shopkeeper, why are you here in person......" Carmen hurriedly stood up, said hello, and then introduced to the Meng Sai people who stood up with him, "This is the big shopkeeper of Huayehua, the big shopkeeper here, a rich man!"
"Lucky will be fortunate to be ......"
"Be polite, I've seen all the chivalrous warriors that day, and their skills are extraordinary!
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be...... Haha"
A few people were polite for a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and after sitting down again, the shopkeeper Hua took out a few very delicate earrings and rings and other accessories from his fingers, and gave them to Monsai and a few people, saying that they could give them to their girlfriends when they had girlfriends, which provoked several people to refuse, and finally Carmen stood up and said that the Huada shopkeeper was a first-class jeweler, and these were some of the people's cautions. Besides, the elders gave it, and it was hard to resign, so a few people accepted it.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Hua, I have a gem here, you can help me take a look. "Meng Sai feels good about this Hua shopkeeper, and it may be that he is short-handed...... Suddenly remembered the gem that Xiao Han deducted from the mysterious statue.
He had always suspected that the hunt for Xiao Han had something to do with that temple, but these days he had also asked some things clearly, the so-called desert alien race was the collective name of many races, and the beliefs between the races were not the same, so that the statue was impossible to study at all.
"Xiao Han, don't look at it, come here!" Seeing that the shopkeeper Hua agreed, Rick, who was in a good mood, hurriedly called Xiao Han, who was still giving advice to Anqi.
"What are you doing?" Oh, that gemstone" Xiao Han came over and asked, it turned out that he wanted to see the gem, and he didn't care, and immediately took it out of the space ring, this fast gem he had studied for a long time, there was no mana fluctuation, it should be a very ordinary gem.
Sure enough, Hua Lao came over to look at it for a while, and judged that it was an ordinary ruby. And it's the most common kind, and it's worth a hundred and ten gold coins.
Sure enough, it was exactly as expected. For this broken stone, he almost buried a few people alive. Xiao Han was angry when he saw it now.
"Then Hua Lao, do you know that there is a gem that is very similar to it, but there seems to be a whirlpool inside, the kind that will turn if you look closely!" Xiao Han casually threw the gem to Rick, pulled over a chair and sat down, recalled the appearance of the other eye of the idol, and described it to the shopkeeper Hua.
"Ahh
"Is it a dark red whirlpool, just like a living thing," Shopkeeper Hua looked at Xiao Han eagerly.
"Yes, that's right! But it's broken" Xiao Han saw that Shopkeeper Hua reacted so much, and also realized that there must be something strange about that stone, otherwise if he didn't move much, so many things would happen!
"Broken?!Hey......" Shopkeeper Hua sighed when he heard this, then sat down and continued: "For this kind of strange stone, I have only heard of it, I have never seen it, it is said that this kind of thing is very precious and has a very magical effect, as for what effect, we still can't touch it, it should be about some role of divine power, but this is just my personal speculation!"
"Is it valuable?" Xiao Han asked impatiently.
"......" The shopkeeper Hua was speechless, and explained to Xiao Han, who was anxious about the monkey: "It's just precious, and it's naturally very valuable if it falls into the hands of people in need, but it's useless for ordinary people to want it......"
"Oh......" When Xiao Han heard this, it turned out that there was no price, and the chagrin in his heart suddenly decreased, and he thought it was worth a fortune......
After chatting for a while, Alice and Angel finally finished shopping, fortunately it was not outrageous, each of them only chose a hairpin, and the shopkeeper gave a five-fold discount, which cost ...... A gold brick...... It's still a five-fold ...... Xiao Han's heart suddenly felt a little bloody, and he looked at the blue sky silently... There are still three pieces left, save a little flower...... Save a little flower......
Looking at the time, it was almost noon, and several people declined the invitation of the shopkeeper, left the store, and walked towards the restaurant that had been booked.
was chatting, who knew that he actually met Old Man Xing halfway, this old man was a little elusive, he could meet him anywhere, and he seemed to have a lot of opinions about Carmen, when he saw him, he pointed to the road with his hand, "Get out!"
Carmen disappeared with a whoosh......
"Wow, old man Xing, you're too domineering!" Alice saw that the old man didn't give Carmen any face, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, after all, Carmen was still good to them.
"What's the use of slapping horses?" the old man snorted coldly, and then yelled at them as if he had eaten a cannonball: "Your Kate dares to chase those things alone, I really don't know what to say about you, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, thinking that he is invincible in the world?
"Huh?" Monsay's expressions changed dramatically when they heard this, "How do you know?"
