Chapter 213: Lucky Jim! (Part II)
It was a somewhat sharp rock, about the size of a thumb, and a little prickly to the touch.
Because it is wrapped in a thick layer of earth, it is impossible to see the color or specific shape. But for some reason, it actually has a sense of blood connection with Jim. Jim even felt it leap in the palm of his hand, a strange feeling that was indescribable, as if he had first met his wife and thought she would be his lifelong companion.
Jim's heart was beating so fast that his breathing was starting to get rapid.
With such excitement, he quickly rubbed the stone violently on his linen garment.
When the lead faded, a soft light emanated from his palm, and a diamond-shaped transparent crystal-like stone lay there quietly.
He held it up to the sun, and he could even see that there seemed to be white clouds flowing inside.
"Hey, Robert, look at this, do you know that?"
Robert was also drinking water at the entrance of the cave, and when he heard this, he looked up and saw that it was not gold, and when he saw that it was not gold, he immediately lost interest and replied lazily.
"I haven't seen it, maybe it's something like quartz. It's not gold anyway!"
Jim was unaware of Robert's perfunctory intentions, and he could not bear his excitement.
"I swear, I've never seen such a beautiful stone. This must be something of value, I have this hunch. ”
Robert didn't even bother to raise his arm, and the work just now had taken a lot of physical strength, so he just mentioned it casually.
"You're so sure, why don't you go to the grocery store up and down. They'll take all the weird stuff and maybe get some money!"
There is a grocery store on the way to the foot of the mountain. Jim is also well aware that his mining tools are rented from there. There's always a fat man lazily dressed as Ao Leo lying on the chair in the doorway, always smiling. But you think he's a bully, and that's a big mistake. This grocery store specializes in all kinds of tools for mining, and this fat man is extremely arrogant and does not allow anyone to bring his own tools in, and the price and rent of his goods are more than 30% more expensive than others. There was once a brave adventurer who was not convinced and insisted on bringing his own tools into the mountain, but this fat man who did not look amazing jumped up and beat this adventurer with the strength of a fifth-level warrior all over the ground to find his teeth.
But fortunately, this fat man treats everyone equally, does things fairly, and never deceives people when the price is clearly marked. The things sold are a little more expensive, but that thing really has nothing to say, and it is also a good idea to collect all kinds of strange things, such as when you occasionally encounter some medicinal herbs, or if you catch a fox, you can always get a lot of money from him. It is said that his backstage is extremely hard and very rich, and he doesn't disdain to covet everyone's three melons and dates at all.
That's why Jim is relieved to go there. By the time Jim had come to the grocery store, the fat man was swaying on a chaise longue at the door, a small table to the right of his hand, and an open bottle of red wine smelling from it.
Jim swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and tried to pull his eyes away from the table, he knew that a drink like this old man could drink was probably worth a year's income.
"Master Orio!"
Jim lowered his eyebrows and called softly.
"Oh, it's Jim! I know you, what good have you found?"
The fat man Ao Lio's eyelids narrowed into a line, and his body did not rise, but his tone was like a spring breeze, which was very flattering. He is Yifeng's top hitter Orio, and putting him here is to deter others.
Ao Lio knew in his heart that a poor person like Jim would never come to his shop unless he had something. And Yifeng specifically instructed that the attitude towards the poor should be better. Their shop is dedicated to pit those who have money. After all, even if the poor squeeze their bones dry, how many taels of oil can they produce?
"Master Orio, I dug up this thing today, please take a look!"
Orio's attitude suddenly made Jim's suspicions go away. This fat man is really as fair as the rumors, and he won't hack his own things. But even so, Jim looked around carefully, and when he saw that no one was there, he respectfully exposed the corner of the stone held in the center of his fist, and suddenly a white and flawless light, mixed with a vigorous breath of life, rushed to his face.
"I'm KAO!"
The fat man screamed, jumped up with his extremely disproportionate agility, quickly grabbed the stone in Jim's palm, squinted at the sun, and without saying a word, turned around and left.
"Sir!"
Jim was anxious, and called eagerly, for fear that the fat man would run away with his baby.
The fat man Ao Lio woke up like a dream, turned around and came back, grabbed Jim's sleeve, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said.
"I'm sorry, I was excited just now. Forget you're still here! Jim, you're in luck!"
The fat man slapped Jim on the shoulder, almost making Jim dodge his waist.
"Master, this thing is very valuable, isn't it?"
Jim asked timidly with a wry smile, grabbing the fat man's sleeve with one hand.
The fat man didn't answer his question directly, just dragged him to the grocery store.
"I can't be the master of this. Lucky for you, my boss happens to be here today, and he can give you a fair price!"
Top dog!?
Jim's head was a little dizzy.
It is rumored that behind this fat man is the guardian knight of Princess Erabela, who is a big man who has seen His Majesty!
"Yes!
Ao Lio explained as he walked vigorously and rushed inside.
The shop is not big and the light is a bit dark. A guy was napping weakly in a chair behind the counter. The fat man didn't scold or wake him up, but just pulled Jim, opened the curtain of the back room, and stepped inside.
There is a hole in the room, and the scorching candle flame illuminates the room to the fullest. A young man with black hair and black eyes was surrounded by a beautiful woman in a gorgeous long dress, as if to instruct her on some accounts.
With a slight glance, Jim quickly lowered his eyes, his feet restlessly rubbing against the thick woolen blanket. The main reason is that the beauty is really glamorous, and her dress and any impolite behavior are a kind of blasphemy against her.
It is rumored that Her Royal Highness Princess Irabella and Her Excellency Yifeng are a natural pair, presumably these two are.
"Orio, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Ao Lio break in, Yifeng raised his eyebrows.
So, in Jim's stunned eyes, the majestic fat man stepped forward like a pug, smiled flatteringly and whispered, and handed over the things in his hand.
"Boss, this Mr. Jim has dug up a good thing!"
At this time, Ao Lio did not forget to point at Jim, and this unintentional action immediately made Jim feel good.
"Good stuff!?beautiful stone!"
Yifeng picked up the stone, looked at it carefully, and gestured a few more times at Erabela's ear.
"You can cut it and make a pair of earrings, and it looks good!"
"Earrings!?"
The fat man's eyes were about to pop out, and he howled like a pig.
"Boss, this is a blessed gem! Inlaid in armor, belts and other equipment, it is the best equipment for the priest! It can greatly improve the priest's healing ability!"
"Oh!?"
Yifeng couldn't help but be moved. This is none other than the legendary heal equipment.
The fat man danced excitedly.
"The rumored priest's artifact, the Celebration of Life, is made up of these gems. It's still small, not so big!"
This time, Yi Feng couldn't hold it back, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Is this Mr. Jim? where did you find it? How much are you going to sell it for?
Yifeng simply stepped forward and grabbed Jim's shoulders tightly, his nails digging into the flesh.
Poor Jim had never seen so many figures, but listening to their tone he knew that this thing was valuable, and he shook and stretched out a finger.
"Can you give me a sheep, oh, no, ten!"
Jim, with the philistine of the little citizen, first stretched out a finger, then quickly slapped and flipped it. (To be continued.) )
