32. Gemstones
After the middle-aged man's account, Mu En verified his idea that the middle-aged couple had been forced to leave their homeland because of the outbreak of war.
Regardless of the world, it is these civilians who suffer the most from war.
The city where the middle-aged man was located before was called Shaxi City, and the city where he fought was Flame City, and Mu En vaguely remembered that these two cities seemed to be on the route of Mu En and the others to Mage City, and it seemed that several people still had the opportunity to observe the war between the cities in the Western Wilderness head-on.
Zi Lin was born in the big family of the Snow Bronze Dragon Empire, and she was used to war, and she was very thorough about the nature of war, and it was because of this that she hated war even more, she sighed: "What an abominable war! How good would it be if there was no war in this world?"
Mu En smiled and didn't answer, because he knew that it was impossible, and war was a subject that would never fade unless there was only one man and one woman left in the world.
Mu En said to the middle-aged man: "You can make such a decision in time, which shows that you are still very wise." There is still a long way to go if you want to find a stable place to live, and you must not be as careless as this time, and there may not be someone who can help you next time you have a problem. ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "You're right, especially a child, we will educate him not to talk nonsense everywhere anymore." ”
Mu En nodded and said, "Then I wish you all a smooth journey." ”
The middle-aged man suddenly remembered something: "I don't know how much our family's heirloom treasures are worth, Master Mage, you are well-informed, can you please help me take a look?"
Mu En was stunned. When the middle-aged merchant returned the gems just now, he didn't pay much attention. But it shouldn't be a very valuable gem, this commoner has been a commoner for more than ten generations before. And how could it be possible to come up with something very precious.
The middle-aged man took out the gem from his luggage, solemnly handed it to Mu En, and said regretfully, "If it weren't for the sake of living a stable life in the future, I wouldn't want to sell the ancestral gem." ”
Mu En nodded and took the gem, and carefully observed, Mu En is not an expert in gem identification, but every mage must learn the basics of gemstones, and must also be familiar with the common and commonly used gemstones.
But the more he looked at this gem, the more confused Mu En became. Gradually, the eyebrows came together.
First of all, this gemstone is not any of the kind that Muen knows. From common sense, the more single the color, the purer the chroma, the purer the texture, and the more complete the gemstone, the more precious it is.
Most of this gem is pure bright yellow, and it also faintly exudes a strong earth-based magic element, but in the middle of the gem there are several bright blood-red blood bands, which seem to divide the whole gem into four, which should logically make this gem lose its color a lot. There should be a lot of points to be deducted.
But when Mu En looked closely, he felt that these two blood belts were very strange: first, this blood belt did not seem to be born naturally in a gem, and second, this blood belt seemed to give people a strange feeling of life.
Especially the second point, it stands to reason that this is just a gem, how can it give people a sense of life?
But there is no doubt that this gemstone must be extremely precious, even more precious than the couple can bear. Mu En sighed and said to the middle-aged man, "To be honest, this gem is more valuable. But I don't know exactly how much it's worth. I have an idea, you say how many gold coins you want. How about I buy this gem?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It stands to reason that Master Fa Shi, you have helped us." We should have come up with something to cover you. But we don't have anything else of value other than this family heirloom gem, and since you have taken a crush on this gem now, Master Mage, of course we have to sell it to you. To tell you the truth, Master Mage, you don't know how much gold is worth, and even less do I, a peasant, give us as many gold coins as you think is appropriate. ”
The middle-aged woman next to her listened to her husband's words, interjected and wanted to speak, the middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed him, Mu En happened to see this scene, and laughed secretly in his heart: This gem entrusts the family's dreams about the future, and the middle-aged woman is worried that the gold coins she gave will not be able to meet their dreams, while the middle-aged man sees it more clearly than his wife, and obviously understands the psychology of the big man better, if such a person is not a civilian, he may be well developed.
However, in this world, the origin of a commoner, without the talent of a professional, almost doomed him to a bleak fate.
Mu En thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'll give you 50,000 gold coins, these gold coins can not only buy a piece of land, but also have some savings to make yourself live a better life in the rest of your life, and you can also spend some money to hire a teacher for your child, so that he can have a better future." ”
Fifty thousand gold coins is an unimaginable astronomical amount for a civilian family, and the middle-aged woman swallows her saliva with difficulty, and the beautiful flower scroll of the future life is already in her mind.
The picture was so beautiful that she couldn't imagine it.
The middle-aged man still retained a trace of reason, he knew that the price given by Mu En was more than enough to achieve these things, and he said sincerely: "My lord, I think the price is a bit high, I just need to be able to buy a piece of land for my own stable life." ”
Mu En shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, although I didn't recognize what kind of gem this was, it was precisely because of it. On the contrary, it is even more proof of the preciousness of this gemstone. Its price may be far more than 50,000 gold coins, and it may even be worth more than a city, but if I really give you so many gold coins, it may harm you, and 50,000 gold coins I think is just right. ”
Hearing Mu En's words, the middle-aged man nodded and said honestly: "Gold coins are certainly fascinating, but Master Mage is telling the truth, a lot of wealth, I don't have the strength to have these wealth, it will only be a tragedy, even the 50,000 gold coins of the Lord make me feel terrified." ”
Mu En smiled: "I'll give you a magic skin, you put all the gold coins in it, hide it closely, and leave some gold coins outside in case of emergency, I don't think there will be any problems." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Mage, for your generosity and thoughtfulness, it is really the greatest luck in my life to meet you." ”
Hearing this, Mu En knew that the other party had agreed to this transaction, so he took out a magic bag, put 50,000 gold coins into it, and handed it to the middle-aged man: "This is 50,000 gold coins, it's yours." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man took the gold coin, handed the gem in his hand to Mu En, and said, "Thank you!"
Mu En smiled, took the suspicious gem and looked at it again.
It's a gem with magical powers, and it's earth-based magic, so it might be useful to Muen.
But what puzzled Mu En the most was that there were two bright red blood bands in the gem, and Mu En began to suspect that this was acquired, perhaps artificial, or some special environment.
When he held it in his hand again, Mu En carefully examined it and found that the gem was completely integrated, there was no gap at all, and it was very likely that the two blood bands were naturally formed.
It's so peculiar, is there such a gem on the continent?
If only the great wise man Galen had ever seen before was here, and with his vast knowledge, he might have been able to recognize this unique gem at a glance.
Of course, even the most peculiar gem Mu En can accept it, there is still a holy crystal in his plane space that Mu En has never heard of, even such a strange stone exists, what kind of strange stone can Mu En not accept?
Wait a minute!
Thinking of the Holy Crystal, Mu En felt that this kind of living fossil of the stone world might know something about this gem, and it seemed that he would have to go into the dimensional space to ask the Holy Crystal when he returned to the tent.
Next, Mu En ran out of supper in the tent of the middle-aged couple, and also learned some inside information about the war between Shaxi City and Flame City, of course, the couple were just ordinary civilians, and all they could know was superficial things and some rumors.
Mu En, who had something in his heart, quickly said goodbye to the middle-aged couple and got out of their tent, Mu En and Zi Lin walked towards their tent, Zi Lin smiled and said, "Mu En, congratulations, you have obtained another treasure." ”
Mu En smiled: "Haha, to be honest, I don't know if it's a treasure or not, maybe it's a big disaster." What, you want dividends?"
Zi Lin joked: "You have a share, you can't forget me, I also helped you?"
Mu En smiled: "Then what do you want?"
Zi Lin was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, looked at Mu En and said, "Then I really want it." Can you give me a ptarmigan? I love the feeling of flying freely in the sky. ”
In Mu En's half-plane, there were still hundreds of thunderbirds, and Mu En smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll send you!"
Zi Lin jumped up excitedly, hugged Mu En and kissed him on the face, and then Zi Lin found out about her faux pas, quickly took a step back, lowered her head and said shyly: "I'm sorry, I'm so happy." ”
The fragrance on Zilin's body was still lingering on the tip of her nose, Mu En smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go, let's go back." ”
Mu En felt that it was nothing, but Zi Lin, who was following him, was like a child who had done something wrong with his head down and said nothing, this was a chase with no ending.
After Mu En came back, he returned to his tent with the excuse of being late, and Zilin, who was very worried, also returned to his tent and began to think about his little secret.
As soon as Mu En entered the tent, he sank his consciousness into the dimensional space and teleported the Holy Crystal in front of him.
Mu En looked at Shengjing and asked, "How is it?Mezra, are you still comfortable in my world?"
The spiritual wave transmitted back by the Holy Crystal revealed a wave of doubt: "Of course I'm doing well, but Mu En, are you really the master of this world? This is incredible, what is your identity?" (to be continued......)
