Chapter 15: The Dwarven Shop

When he opened his eyes the next day, it was already dawn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe warm sunlight shone into the room through the glass window, and a soft warmth made him want to sleep a little longer. But the room in front of him reminded him...... This is not the world it used to be. Payne remembered what Hervey had said, "Laziness leads to a bottomless abyss."

After two slappes on the face, Payne forced himself to sit up. After a brief tidying up of the housekeeping, and locking the door, he left the inn, inquired all the way, and walked in the direction of the market.

Along the way, the townspeople talked a lot. The content is nothing more than about the appearance of man-eating beasts in the fields and the taking of more than thirty human lives.

"Because of those damn man-eating beasts, I lost three slaves. ”

"The lord has sent out his own guards, and it is said that more than twenty man-eating beasts have been cleared, as evidenced by the pile of corpses at the city gate, so there is no need to worry about these things anymore. ”

"But I've lost three slaves, damn it, it looks like I'll have to pay another fee, and I'll have to buy a few more back. ”

"Maybe the lord will give me some compensation?"

"Reparations? I really don't dare to ask for this. ”

......

Discussions like the above are almost endless, and Payne just can't do it without listening to it.

Those who were taken by the man-eating beasts were all slaves, and in this world slaves were bought and sold as goods, and they worked without remuneration, without freedom, and even life and death depended on the feelings of the slave owners.

Payne couldn't help but think that if he didn't have a financial source, he wouldn't be in a better situation than these slaves in the future, or even worse than these slaves, at least they still had a bite to eat.

Thinking of this, Payne couldn't help but quicken his pace...... There is not much time left for yourself. Before he ran out of silver coins, he had to come up with a workable solution, and he didn't want to strike iron anymore. I don't want to become a beggar and then be sold by human traffickers and become a slave.

In the market area, you can see shops next to each other, and you can see what is being sold inside through the glass windows, which is convenient for Payne, who can't even read the name of the store.

Most of the goods in the store were aimed at the aristocracy or the wealthy, and Payne could only glance through the window before walking away quickly.

"Huh, it's ......" When Payne passed by one of the shops, the contents of which suddenly stopped him from stepping, this was a weapons shop, and it was not an ordinary weapon shop.

Payne pushed the door open and entered, and the walls of the shop were covered with all sorts of strange things. The main ones are weapons, such as muskets and crossbows. A finely crafted musket caught his eyeβ€”it was a one-foot-long musket that was somewhat similar to the one Al used, except that... , which is a double-barreled musket.

"How do you sell this gun?" said Payne, who couldn't take his eyes off the gun hanging on the wall.

"Five gold coins. ”

"What! five gold coins? Are you kidding?" Payne was a little incredulous, five gold coins were a sky-high price for him, and even if he sold a pair of waists on his body, he couldn't raise five gold coins. Besides, in this world, that thing is worthless.

"Get out of here if you don't have any gold!"

Hearing the boss's unkind tone, Payne almost had a seizure on the spot, the customer is God, haven't you heard it or what...!

As he looked angrily in the direction of the glass counter, a bearded man with a magnifying glass was holding a musket in one hand, the muzzle of which was pointed at him.

"Huh... Ha... I'm kidding, don't mind, I'll look at the others. Payne immediately turned his mind into a belligerent and said.

The bearded man put the gun back, and continued to bow his head and puff something, "The cheapest musket I have here also costs two gold coins, and if you don't have them, it's best not to touch them with your hands." ”

"Understood, understood. Payne chuckled bitterly. At this time, he noticed that there was something special about the bearded man's appearance, which reminded him of the greedy and violent dwarven race.

For a man who was an otaku in his previous life, that standard dwarf face was almost like a textbook.

"You're a dwarf?"

The other man glanced up at him, "Have you seen any shop that sells muskets that is not owned by dwarves?"

"Nope. Payne spread his hands and smiled ugly.

"If not, don't bother me anymore. ”

Payne smiled bitterly, and his heart was really the same as he remembered.

Not to mention the stinky problems of these dwarves, they are also very greedy for money. But I have to admit that the dwarf project is quite high-end, and it is a height that humans simply cannot reach, at least in this timeline.

Dwarves have a rich imagination and are highly workmanlike. The works of art are masterpieces that are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

Payne really wanted to try the musket in front of him, even if it was just a touch. --The smooth wooden grip, the cold metal body of the gun, and the exquisite stripes all caught his eye.

Forget it, don't feel uncomfortable. Payne struggled to withdraw his gaze and looked at the rest of the shop.

There was no doubt that every weapon here had filled him with great interest, but he was too shy to afford it...... , and can only look at it.

"It's... Telescope. Payne walked to the shelf near the door, and just wanted to reach out, but suddenly thought of something, "How do you sell this telescope?"

It's a bit of a bad name, but it means the same thing, and it costs only twenty silver coins. The bearded dwarf put down what he was doing and pushed the magnifying glass above his head upward.

"Twenty silver coins. Payne was a little intrigued, but it wasn't enough for him to risk starving to death to buy it, "How far can you see?"

"Fifty yards in full view. ”

"Really, what about the next one?" Payne glanced back at the dwarf, pointing to the one next to him.

"Oh, that one gold coin, and it will allow you to see the appearance of seventy yards of outsiders, and even the freckles on their faces, and their size. ”

The difference of twenty yards was eighty silver coins, which seemed to be no different from robbing money. But Payne believes that this kind of thing is a scarce item even in the entire kingdom, and the price is generally not too far apart.

"Can it be cheaper?"

The dwarf didn't answer his question, but looked him up and down, "You're a mercenary, you don't look like a bounty hunter." ”

'How can you tell I'm not a bounty hunter?' I asked if you could be cheap, why are you talking to me!' Penn cursed inwardly, but he had to admit that he wasn't even a bounty hunter, not even a mercenary.
