In front of the gates of the Bena High Swordsman Academy.

Surdak looked at the relief on the stone wall at the gate, which he hadn't had last time.

It was a group of Bena swordsmen fighting to slay a group of demons on the battlefield, and a dozen stonemasons hung in the air with ropes tied to the top of the wall, and were sticking chisels and hammers to the stone wall in their hands, adding some embellishments and patterns to the war relief, and it looked like it would not be long before it was completed.

"So this is the Bednar High Swordsman Academy!" Andrew looked down the iron railing of the courtyard wall towards the academy and said to himself.

This Bednar High Swordsman Academy has a history of at least two hundred years, or even longer, and countless powerful Bednar swordsmen poured out in that era, which is why this High Swordsman Academy has become the most desirable holy place in the hearts of countless young swordsmen.

The holiday had just ended, and a group of young swordsman cadets had returned to the academy one after another, carrying their bags on their backs. The dust servants rushed back to the academy, everyone was carrying a long or short sword, large or small, the lawn in the academy had sprouted a new green, and then some of the swordsmen could still see the practice field of the swordsmen, and some swordsmen with wooden swords were competing on the practice field, which made the whole academy glow with new vitality.

Surdak stood at the gate of the academy, he asked the guards at the gate of the academy about Hathaway and Beatrice, the guards did not know these two female swordsmen, but this did not mean that they could not inquire, as long as they casually asked some of the swordsman students who passed by the gate of the academy, the guards at the gate of the academy soon found out about Hathaway and Beatrice.

The two were graduates of the academy last year, and they had successfully completed the academy's graduation assessment before the winter of last year, and Hathaway and Beatrice had both graduated from the academy.

Surdak then thought of last year's trip to the Warsaw plane, which was the graduation experience of the graduates of the Swordsman Academy, but the luck of this group of graduates was not good, and the performance in Handanar County in the Warsaw plane was not very good, and finally returned to the Swordsman Academy in a gloomy manner, and retook the graduation assessment, only to get the final graduation certificate from the Bednar High Swordsman Academy.

At this time, Surdak remembered that he had not yet obtained his graduation certificate from the Knight Academy, but this did not seem to affect his promotion to the first class knight.

Surdak and his party of four circled around the swordsman academy, but failed to find a chance to go around the academy, so they left with a regretful face.

Walking through the streets of Pena, the black-veiled Aphrodite is more striking than Samira, whose face is hidden in a gray cloth hatlet, and her graceful figure, even if completely hidden under the black robe, is more sexual than the half-elf in salamander leather armor. sense, no one took the initiative to talk to him, Andrew and Surdak were wearing metal armor, and the full-covered armor on Andrew's body belonged to the standard armor, during the plane war, no one wanted to have unnecessary conflicts with the soldiers in the army in the city, because at this time, many soldiers often have some war privileges.

……

On a commercial street in the city of Bena, the four of Surdak followed the flow of people and walked into a trading house called 'Shire'.

In addition to selling some magic weapons and armor, the plaque on the outside also reads 'Acquire Boutique Magic Weapons', and the trading hall on the first floor of the trading house is also very lively, with many knights crowded into the hall to buy some magic weapons.

Surdak was dressed in demonic armor and stood out in the crowd.

Seeing Surdak walking into the firm, a guy from the firm immediately took the initiative to come forward and ask Surdak: "What do you need from a few guests?" Our Shire Trading House mainly deals in magic weapons and armor, and most of the halls on the first floor are high-quality weapons and armor, and there are some exquisite high-quality weapons and armor upstairs. ”

Surdak glanced at the clever trader and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to sell two magic weapons!" ”

The man from the merchant led Surdak into the merchant and said to the group, "Wait a minute. Then he turned and walked back into the noisy crowd of the hall.

In fact, he didn't have to wait long before he saw a merchant house manager who was obviously more flamboyantly dressed come out of the crowd and asked Surdak, 'Do you want to sell magic weapons?' ’

Surdak nodded.

"Please come with me, before we buy your magic weapon, we need to identify your magic weapon, it must be a sophisticated magic weapon, and the firm is willing to pay two percent below the market price to buy it." The manager of the comptoir said as he led the four of them up to the second floor.

A few people came to a room on the second floor that looked a little deserted.

The room was separated by an iron fence, and three small windows were opened on the iron fence, and there was a long counter in the window, and behind the counter sat three magicians in magic robes, and several Grimm Empire people were waiting outside the window.

The manager of the comptoir ushered Surdak and his party in, and asked them to sit in the rest area at the door of the room and wait for a while.

At this time, I heard a magician inside the iron fence hand out a broadsword with an ancient pattern on the exterior and many red sapphires on the scabbard from the window, and said with a blank face: "Unfortunately, although your broadsword is inlaid with some precious stones, it is not a magic weapon, so the trading house cannot give any price, and it will not accept this jewelry-oriented sword." ”

The young nobleman waiting outside the iron fence, apparently unwilling to accept the results of the magician's identification, carefully held the sword in his arms with his hand, and said to the magician, "This is ...... Isn't this a magic weapon? It can also emit colorful magic streamers at night, and it's really sharp......"

The magician inside the iron fence smiled lightly and said to the young nobleman, "Maybe it's the gems set in the scabbard of this saber that give you the illusion. ”

The young nobleman wanted to argue, but the magician smiled at him and nodded, and said, "All right, next!" ”

Seeing the magician say this, the young nobleman could only leave with his sword in his arms.

"You might want to try it at the jeweler shop across the street, we only buy magic ......weapons above the level of refinement," the merchant manager walked up and said to the disappointed young nobleman.

The young nobleman refused to deal with the manager of the merchant house and walked straight out of the room.

An old woman with a faint smell of leather walked from the waiting area to the iron fence and pulled out a horn-shaped dagger from her cloth bag, which looked very old, the copper handle was polished as smooth as a mirror, and Surdak saw a shard of magic crystal the size of a small fingernail from the dagger's forehead.

The magician inside the iron fence took the dagger, looked at it casually, touched the edge of the dagger with his hand, shook his head slightly, and said to the old woman:

"Your dagger is worn out too badly, and the edge of the blade is basically polished by the whetstone, but the magic pattern circle on the dagger is still well preserved, this dagger is called 'Seagull', which belongs to an excellent quality skinning knife, and the dagger has a water magic 'cleaning technique', which can always keep this dagger clean and tidy, this dagger is the most common in the market, and many enchanters will choose to make it when they are getting started." Seagull's dagger to improve your proficiency in enchanting weapons, so even a brand-new 'Seagull' dagger is probably not worth much, and the comptoir doesn't buy magic weapons of the lower level, sorry! ”

The old woman sighed with some embarrassment, and wrapped the dagger again.

"Okay!" After speaking, he left the appraisal office of the firm without saying a word.

Under the thin back, his steps were a little staggering.

Finally, it was Surdak's turn, and he walked over and sat down in his chair, then took the two patinated muskets from his magic fanny pack, placed them in front of the counter, and pushed them inside.

The magician inside the fence picked up a handful and laid it on the flannel cloth in front of him, and after a few glances, he took out a magnifying glass with crystal lenses from the box beside him, and scraped off a small piece of the patina from the pattern with a steel needle, and then he stopped.

He craned his neck, glanced at the other magician beside him, and pushed the short-handled musket over.

"Help me see this!" The magician said.

The fellow magician took the short-handled musket, and also groped for the pattern on the gun, he looked more professional, rubbed off more patina with a brush, and then found the rusted safety wrench from the side, and gently moved twice to break the safety, and pulled off the firing pin at the end of the musket, revealing the stimulator that was held by the firing pin, and the magician had a slightly long mouth, as if he had seen a stripper dancing with a steel pole in a nightclub, and his eyes were almost attached to the stimulator of the short-handled musket.

"Nion, what do you think?" The magician from earlier asked.

The magician who disassembled the tail firing pin in the back nodded eagerly and said, "It should be a technological product of that era, magic and technology are perfectly combined, and the excitation device should be able to repair ......"

The previous magician exhaled slightly, then took the disassembled short-handled musket, reloaded the firing pin at the back, and then placed it in front of Surdak, he paused slightly, and then said: "These two antiques are like works from the Hex era, it is really precious to be so well preserved, I wonder if they want the firm to identify and make an appraisal on their behalf, or sell these two magic pattern type pistols?" ”

"Sell!" Surdak said without hesitation.

Because this is the city of Bena, it may be possible to sell this rusty antique musket.

He didn't want to bring these two muskets back to Highlandsa, the magic firms there wouldn't risk buying them.

The magician inside the iron fence spoke:

"Oh, in this case, we can refer to the several auctions in Bena City last summer, the auction of a few flintlock short-handled muskets brought back from the dwarven realm, although those muskets also have a certain age, but they are not as old as these two muskets, the bidding price at that time was about seventy gold coins, this kind of musket does not have any reference price in the market, to say that the magic weapons of the Hex era, especially the short-handled muskets, still have some value......"

"Of course, if you are not in a hurry to make a sale, you can go to the auction house to bid, if you are lucky, you will gain more than in our trading house, even if the auction fails, there will be no loss." The magician then spoke up and added.

Surdak wasn't prepared to stay in Bena City for a while, and he said directly: "If the price reaches my psychological level, I want to sell it to the comptoir." ”

The magician's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Okay, wait a minute, we still need to conduct a second appraisal and negotiation according to the procedure......"

The three magicians behind the iron fence gathered together and brought the two muskets to the table a little inside, where they whispered for a moment.

Surdak didn't have to wait long, the three magicians came to the end of the discussion, and the magician who had done the appraisal for Surdak at the beginning said to Surdak: "The purchase price of each musket is one hundred gold coins, and if you are willing to sell both of them to us, you can get two hundred and fifteen gold coins together...... We hope to be able to buy both. ”

I didn't expect two muskets rusted into scrap copper to be so valuable.

Surdak didn't dwell too much on the potential value of the two antique muskets, readily agreed to the purchase price offered by the magician, and successfully obtained the money bag full of gold coins, and then the group of four left the trading house.

Touching the magic fanny pack tied around his waist, it was full of books about the era of Hex, which were originally brought out of the library of the ruins of that underground city, and now he only bought two muskets, which made Surdak look like an upstart, and he couldn't help but wonder: how much is a book full of magic fanny bags worth......

……

Located in a rented warehouse next to the slave market in the southern part of Bena.

Several slave traders were carrying leather whips in their hands, and they were beating the two fighting kobolds, these two male kobolds were stronger than the average doghead, they had long manes growing from their necks, and their height of about one meter four or five made them look like rickety old men, and the most obvious feature of that wrinkled face was the long mouth with the dog's nose, the top of their head was flat, and they had two long ears.

The two kobolds tore at each other, biting each other's shoulders and necks at the same time, entangled with each other, and refused to stop.

The slave trader first whipped the two kobolds with a leather whip, and although the whip left blood marks on the two kobolds, the two kobolds did not seem to feel pain.

The slave traders poured several buckets of cold water on them, but it was still useless.

In the end, he could only use a few long iron hooks to stab the kobolds into the flesh of the kobolds, and several slave traders used iron hooks to forcibly separate the two kobolds......
