Chapter Twenty-Four: Stone Eyes
"Wow, what a beautiful horse. ”
Doria's target is not Sutum, but Brian, who looks tall and handsome. The girl ran over, and without thinking about it, she grabbed Brian's legs, stroked its body, and praised it.
Brian hissed violently, raised his leg sharply, and was about to attack, but was held down by Sutum.
"Hey, little Doria, it's been a long time, you're still so naughty. ”
Sutum jumped off the horse with Eloth in his arms and landed beside the girl. The girl let Brian go, threw herself into his arms, and giggled, "I'm not naughty, you always like to slander me." Hee-hee, no see you in a while, Sue, you're getting better. ”
She left Sutum's chest, swept her eyes, stared at Eloth next to her and said slyly: "This sister looks so familiar, have we met?" ”
Eloth smiled softly and said, "If I saw a beautiful girl like you, I would definitely remember it." ”
Doria's face suddenly brightened, and she said happily, "My sister is also very beautiful." ”
“......”
Ahrens also walked to Sutum's side at this time, with a look of joy and doubt: "Sue, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are finally willing to enter the city for such a long time." ”
"Hehe, it's rare to have time to come around the city. Sutum replied with a smile.
Ahrens winked at him and smiled, "Haha, it looks like you're doing well with your relatives." ”
After they separated outside the city, Ahrens used the power of the Cretan family to find out Sutum's identity and whereabouts. Naturally, nothing was achieved at the beginning. It wasn't until Sutum had subdued Sauron and had his own power that Ahrens knew that the young man he had brought back was a powerful man, more than he had imagined. In the same way, he knew that Sutum's so-called defection to relatives was nothing more than a joke.
Sutum was not embarrassed, "It's okay, but I'm not very comfortable." ”
"Huh. Ahrens smiled and changed the subject, "You saved Doria, but my eldest brother has always wanted to thank you." Originally, he wanted to come to the door to find you, but he didn't expect you to appear in the city. Then you can come and sit with me when you have time. ”
Doria was not Ahrens' daughter, but his niece. The Cretan family is now actually in power by Ahrens's brother and the two of them.
Obviously, Doria's father certainly invited Sutum not only to thank him.
Sure enough, I heard Ahrens say, "The glass you make is a perfect commodity, but the means of operating this commodity are too simple and crude...... There is a chance that we can work together ......"
Sutum nodded and said, "There will be a chance." ”
Now that they have met Ahrens, they have naturally become Sutum's guides. Within a few steps, Ahrens was called away by a member of the Cretan family, who seemed to have something to attend to. Doria stayed with Sutum. With his strength, Ahrens is not afraid of any danger to the girl.
However, looking at Ahrens' gloomy expression, it was clear that what he needed to deal with was not a good thing.
Doria was carefree, patted her little chest, and said excitedly, "Uncle Ahrens is gone, and I can finally go to Gling Street for a good time." Sue, Sister Elloth, I'll take you to a good place. ”
Sutum already knew that the girl was caught by Ahrens because she had secretly gone out and wanted to go to this so-called Guling Street. I couldn't help but shake my head.
Eloth suddenly became interested at this time, and agreed to her suggestion without hesitation.
......
Guling Street is a rather lively commercial street, with a lot of traffic and a lot of people.
The street is not selling daily necessities, but strange items. Colorful jade, glass-like minerals, hideous animal bones, mushrooms of various shapes, and machinery made by legendary sages can be found everywhere in the street stalls.
Sutum even saw the existence of shops selling exotic cubs as pets.
These beast cubs were all brightly colored, with smart eyes, and they were very cute, and Sutum swept his eyes, but he knew that these were just ordinary beasts.
Even if the real wasteland beast is a cub, it has the strength of the peak of [hero], and it is fierce by nature, but it is not a pet that can be domesticated by ordinary people.
Eloth was pulled aside by Doria, picking and picking at some of the stalls, while Sutum stayed by their side to keep them safe.
Sutum originally wanted to use his eyes to scan the situation here. But before he opened his eyes, he faintly sensed that several powerful auras appeared on the street. The strength of these breaths was unfathomable, and Sutum couldn't judge the strength of his master.
There are some traces when the mirror eye is used, and maybe it will be seen by these strong people, so Sutum simply gave up using it.
"It's a mixed place, so it's no wonder Ahrens won't let Doria come here. ”
Sutum looked at the owners of the stalls and shops, men, women and children, wrapped in turbans, veiled, and even painted on their faces, and did not know where they came from. The stall owners with their faces show harmlessness to humans and animals, and they can even be said to have friendly smiles, and the tone of their speech is also extraordinarily sincere and convincing. However, in Sutum's induction, these people were full of blood, and they were obviously not good.
Ordinary people face these people, I am afraid that they will be fooled by their words and expressions unconsciously, and become the main culprit.
Sutum saw at least seven or eight customers who were dizzy by the owner of a herb stall and paid a hundred times the price to buy some worthless hemostatic herbs before leaving.
After thinking about it, Sutum was a little worried that Eloth and Doria had been deceived by these people.
However, after listening to Eloth's bargaining with the stall owners, he laughed dumbly and lamented his stupidity.
Eloth can sense changes in people's hearts. Since she woke up from a coma, this ability has improved again, and Sutum doesn't know what level of her sensing ability has reached. But it's clear that it's not a problem to deal with these stallholders.
Whenever there was an item she liked, she first smiled and waited for the stall owner to quote. Subsequently, in the disbelief of the stall owner, he said the bottom line of the other party, and confirmed his correctness with sharp words, and finally reached a deal at a lower price when the stall owner was caught off guard.
The whole process went smoothly and in one go, until the little girl Doria had a look of adoration in her eyes.
In a moment's time, Sutum had a large stack of items bought by the two girls in his hand. The stall owners looked at Eloth's expression and cried without tears, gritting their teeth.
"Awesome. ”
Sutum said beside Eloth. The latter gave him a blank look and said, "Still not satisfied with saving you money?"
Eloth said, his expression changed, and he pointed to a group of people in the distance and said, "Those people seem to be a little hostile to you. ”
Sutum looked at it in a blink of an eye, and said in his heart: It's really a coincidence, I met it again.
The people Eloth was referring to were none other than Wright's gang. These people also went to hang out in the inner ring city, and they happened to be on the same day as Sutum, and they also ran into each other.
Wright was still dressed as a noble son, looking at Sutum with angry eyes, and he did not hide his malice. However, he didn't seem to be afraid of anything, and he didn't plan to come.
Sutum looked at the extra white-haired young man beside him and was secretly surprised. The white-haired young man had a handsome appearance and delicate skin, and Sutum faintly felt a faint fluctuation of the Force in him.
This person must be a [prophet] level existence, and he is not a newcomer to this realm, but a master who has been precipitated for a long time.
The white-haired young man looked at Sutum, a smile broke out on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes. Sutum immediately felt the airflow around his body change, and a wave of moisture suddenly exploded on his body. If left unchecked, Sutum will inevitably turn into a chicken in the soup.
"You want me to get wet? ”
Sutum frowned, and the fire on his body flickered, sweeping away the moisture. Immediately, the flames in his black eyes were blazing, and he looked towards the white-haired youth.
With a bang, a flame suddenly appeared on the white-haired young man's clothes, which lasted for a long time, causing some people to exclaim.
"Come and don't be rude. Competing with demons for the control of the Force, you think you're the birdmen?"
Sutum shook his head.
Neither he nor the white-haired young man used his own power just now, and he used his perception of the Force to mentally affect the changes in the Force and cause attacks.
Obviously, Sutum is superior.
"Young Master Wright, this person is indeed a fierce rival. It's just that although he is stronger than me, his strength is limited. ”
suffered a loss, but the white-haired young man was still light and light, as indifferent as water.
Wright snorted, turned and walked away. He seems to have grown a lot during this time, and even when Mulder is not around this time, he can restrain his emotions.
Eloth watched them leave, her eyes glinting, and her expression was inexplicably determined. She picked up Sutum and Doria and said, "Let's go to that stone stall over there." ”
The rocky beach she was referring to was in a remote corner.
The stone stalls were filled with inconspicuous stone objects, and there were no customers around. The stall owner was an old man with gray hair, a scruffy beard, and a dirty body. His eyes were half-closed, as if he were asleep, as if he didn't care about his business.
This stall seems to have been forgotten.
"Sister Elloth, there's nothing good here. ”
Doria picked and picked around the stalls, but didn't see what she was interested in, and couldn't help but hang her head, and was about to pull Eloth away.
"Don't be in a hurry, take a look first. ”
Sutum didn't understand why Eloth was here, but he crouched down and looked at the items on the stall.
There are some ancient stone tools here, mainly some stone swords, guns, swords, sticks and other weapons, and some fossils of animals and plants. There's nothing special about it.
He carefully felt the old man's breath again, and his body was good, but it was also the strength of an ordinary [hero] level.
"Uncle, how do you sell this stone eye?"
Eloth asked the old man as he picked up a thumb-sized stone ball that looked like an eyeball.
The old man didn't seem to hear it, and he ignored it.
Sutum frowned, and was about to wake up the old man, but his body suddenly shook, and Eloth's voice came from his heart: "This uncle is not simple, I can't sense the changes in his mind." ”
"Eloth is able to teleport with her heart?" Sutum was a little surprised, but even more surprised at what she had sent.
Even he couldn't stop Eloth's telepathy. If so, the old man may be even stronger than he thinks.
Eloth asked a few more times, and the old man slowly opened his eyes and said, "Ten original crystal coins." ”
One Primordial Crystal Coin is worth as much as a thousand Bronze Shield Coins, and this old man is simply a lion's mouth.
Eloth smiled and said without hesitation, "Okay, we bought it." ”
The old man opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes flashed: "Little girl, this thing is not sold to you. ”
Eloth just smiled and said nothing. Sutum said on the side: "Since it is put out for sale, the starting price we can pay, this thing is ours." Uncle, do you think that's the truth?"
The old man looked at him, and then at Eloth, his eyes shining with amazement. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "You are right, since you take it out and sell it, the starting price is its owner." ”
"But this little girl can't afford this price, young man, you are the real master. ”
The old man smiled and stretched out his hand. Sutum pulled out ten Primordial Crystal Coins and took Stoneeye from him. No matter how you look at it, this stone eye is still ordinary.
"Since I got the stone eye, I simply gave you another stone chain to make a pair. ”
The old man handed over another stone chain that could be wrapped around his wrist and said.
After doing this, he closed his eyes again, and there was a snoring sound in his nose.
Sutum was a little speechless, is this really a hidden master?
"Alright, the things are bought, let's go. You see, Doria is waiting impatiently. ”
Eloth chuckled and pulled Sutum away.
After walking some distance, Sutum suddenly turned around, and saw Wright and his party walking to the old man's stall, and suddenly he seemed to grasp something.
"Interesting. ”
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
