68. Underground Trading
Passing through the noisy streets, He Boqiang and Surdak followed Gabi to a large tent on the outskirts of the hillside, which was the makeshift camp of a large caravan.
The large round tent was surrounded by several small tents, behind which were a dozen piles covered with tarpaulin, and at the end were stables enclosed by wooden fences, in which two dozen horses and mules were kept.
A couple of shopkeepers were carrying a shipment from a pile of goods, piled on a pallet cart, presumably bags full of oats.
The camp was surrounded by green glass grass, with serious stampede marks all around, and some horseshoe prints filled with the rain that had just fallen yesterday.
There were two guards in armor guarding the door of the tent, and when they saw He Boqiang and the others entering, they stopped the three with the halberds in their hands.
Gabby said to the guard, "I'm Mr. Larkin's shopkeeper, and Mr. Larkin asked me to come here." ”
His voice reached the tent, and without waiting for the guard to reply, a gentle voice rang out from inside the tent:
"Invite them in......"
The guard put the halberd in his hand back to his side, reached out and lifted the curtain of the tent, and invited He Boqiang and Surdak inside.
The tent was covered with fluffy fur, and a young noble knight sat on the throne, flanked by several merchants, and in the middle of which Lakin the merchant sat a small wooden table with a fruit bowl filled with green grapes and purple plums.
There was also a block of ice in the corner of the tent that was constantly steaming, so that the inside of the tent and the outside world were completely two temperatures, and the inside of the tent was much cooler than the outside, and I thought: Probably this is the aristocratic life in Surdak's mouth.
Larkin saw that Gabi had brought Surdak and He Boqiang in, and hurriedly beckoned Surdak and He Boqiang to come over.
Then he got up and introduced the young nobleman in the tent: "Terry. Baron Carnegie, this is Surdak, who belongs to the Fifty-Seventh Regiment here, and this is his friend Darker Jr., and they are all the heads of these demons in my hands. ”
The young nobleman, dressed in a black gown inlaid with gold thread, with an extraordinarily white face, sat there very casually, holding a silver wine glass in his hand, and he shook the wine glass in his hand, and the ice inside hit the wall of the glass, making a tinkling sound, which immediately made the tent become quiet.
This Terry. Baron Carnegie turned to Surdak and asked, "I heard that you are interested in transferring these four demon heads?" ”
"That's true." Surdak replied.
Terry. Baron Carnegie raised his thin eyebrows slightly, his face was a little too green, and he said in a unique hoarse voice in the stage of voice change, "Can you re-explain to me the origin of these four demon heads?" ”
Surdak hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I got it in the Gandaer Mountain, and it will take about two days to walk all the way east along the river valley, I can guarantee that these four demon heads belong to us completely, and have nothing to do with the 57th Regiment, if necessary, I can also take you to the scene to take a look, I believe there are still some demon bones left over there." ”
Terry. Baron Carnegie didn't seem to mean to go to the scene to take a look, and he said casually:
"Well, I just asked casually, and I just went to the scene to inspect it, I just didn't want to get into trouble."
At this time, sit Terry. The old man below Baron Carnegie hurriedly played a round, and he said to Surdak in a gentle tone:
"Terry. Baron Carnegie invited the two of you here, not to delve into the provenance of these loot, but to hear Larkin say that you want to exchange these loot for a set of armor, the more advanced the armor, the stricter the requirements for size and model, and it depends on which suit your body type is suitable for. ”
He Boqiang could tell from the old man's voice that he was the one who had just invited them in the tent.
The old man looked more like a businessman, he looked at Surdak and He Boqiang seriously, and asked, "So...... Which of the two armor you get in exchange for? ”
Surda carried He Boqiang, and the two sat down on the carpet beside Larkin together, and then said more casually: "For him, I have standard armor in the heavy armored infantry regiment, and there is no need to order additional private armor at all." ”
"This ......," the old man looked at He Boqiang.
"He's a mute, let's call him Little Duck." Larkin said hurriedly.
Hearing Larkin say this, the old man smiled kindly at He Boqiang, and then instructed the waiter standing at the door:
"Go and bring the full body armor made of bronze cleats in the warehouse......"
He paused, thought about it carefully, and then added:
"Huh! Also, bring that set of monster leather armor here. ”
The two attendants turned and walked out, and it wasn't long before two completely different sets of armor were brought in.
The old man didn't look at the two sets of armor, but said in a flat voice: "Based on the current market situation, the market value of these four heads is about four magic crystals. ”
Larkin nodded to Surdak secretly, signaling that the merchant was right.
In fact, Surdak probably knew in his heart the approximate value of these demon heads.
Seeing that Surdak and He Boqiang had no objections, the old man got up from his seat, walked to the front of the bronze armor, and began to introduce to everyone:
"This full-body armor weighs thirty-five pounds, and is made of nearly a thousand bronze armor pieces, if this is just a set of bronze armor, then even if it is a new set of lock-plate bronze armor, it is worth only about seven gold coins, but this armor is a little different, each armor piece is plated with a layer of precious magic metal, so this armor has good anti-magic properties, so it is worth at least three magic crystals."
'It's so expensive! ’
Almost all the proceeds from the sale of the demon's head were spent, and He Boqiang was a little reluctant in his heart.
He Boqiang's perception of this world currency, three magic crystals can be exchanged for about thirty gold coins.
An ordinary commoner can probably save a fortune of dozens of gold coins in his lifetime.
Surdak's eyes fell on the set of heavy armor, and his eyes also showed a strong interest, the standard armor of the fifty-seventh heavy armored infantry regiment was not so sophisticated.
The old man walked in front of another set of leather armor and introduced to everyone:
"This leather armor is sewn from the leather of the second-level demonic beast, probably using most of the flame snake lizard skin to make the leather coat on the upper body, and the lower body pants and armor battle skirt made of the thick leather on the back of the swamp giant crocodile, the upper part of this set of demonic beast leather armor does not belong to the category of heavy armor, but the lower part belongs to the heavy leather armor."
Hearing the old man say this, Surdak was completely attracted by the suit of armor that didn't look too good, and even Larkin on the side had a big mouth and a very surprised expression.
The old man continued:
"The texture of this set of monster leather armor is lighter than that of bronze armor, and at the same time, the defense and magic resistance are also better, in addition, the biggest value of this set of monster leather armor is that it has good magic conduction, that is to say, this set of monster leather armor still has a lot of room for improvement in the future, if you have the ability to be promoted to become a warrior in the future, you can also ask an inscription master to draw a complete set of magic patterns on this set of leather armor, so that it can become a set of precious magic pattern construction."
“……”
There were a series of slight exclamations in the tent......
(Note: One gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper plates, and the purchasing power of a gold coin is about the same as ten thousand soft sister coins)
