Chapter Seventy-One: The Other Half of the Scroll
After putting away the gourd, Shi Lei took a few sips of wine and looked at Lin Xing with half-squinted eyes.
"Boy, I got the reward for the first place last night, take it out and I'll take a look."
"Master, don't say it, I haven't seen it yet."
Lin Xing took out a package from the ring and opened it, inside was a staff lying quietly inside, with a small card next to it.
The main body of the staff is made of obsidian, and the large sapphire at the top is very eye-catching, and the faint light from it exudes nobility and mystery.
The crystal clear appearance makes this gemstone very special, and you can feel its special even without direct contact.
Lin Xing picked up the card next to the staff and read it softly.
"Congratulations on winning the first place in this freshman test, this is your reward, the light of the apocalypse, the yellow level high-grade staff. It can bring great power to magic users when proficient. However, it should be noted that this staff is more complicated and difficult to use, and requires a lot of experience and professional skills to operate it well. ”
Shi Lei took the light of the apocalypse in his hand, played with it casually for a while, and then looked a little farther away, and a clay figure climbed up from the dirt bag dozens of meters away.
Then he commanded the clay figure to make a few simple movements, and with a wave of his right hand, the clay figure dissipated.
"This staff is not bad, it can be used for a long time if it is matched with you, this kind of high-level staff, you usually have to use it a lot, and master it as soon as possible."
After saying that, he handed the staff out, Lin Xing took the staff and played with it lovingly.
"Boy, treasures of this level, in addition to enhancing the effect of your spells, generally come with some special abilities."
Then I picked up the small card, flipped to the back, and sure enough, there were still a few lines of small print.
[Defense ability: The user can activate the protective effect of the light of the apocalypse, activating a shield that can defend against all types of damage, the number of uses per day: 2]
[Life Recovery: The user can release a ray of light that envelops a person inside, using the power of magic to heal damage and restore physical strength.] 】
[Attack ability: Every time the user uses magic, the consumption of magic will increase, but the effect of magic will also increase accordingly.] 】
"Sure enough, normal yellow-level treasures only have two characteristics, but this staff of yours actually has three characteristics, and they are all very practical properties."
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Lin Xing continued to play with the staff for a while, and then reluctantly received the storage ring.
"Master, what are we going to do next?"
"It's been so long, and I haven't given you any treasures, this time I plan to take you to buy some items that suit you, let's go."
Shi Lei turned around, drank a little wine, and walked towards Yunlan City, and Lin Xing behind him also chased after him with a happy face.
Shi Lei took Lin Xing around the city for a while, and slowly walked to a crowded street.
Although the previous place was also very crowded, it was not even crowded compared to the street in front of you.
"Master, where is this place? You're not going to take me here, are you? ”
"This Pinglin Street can be regarded as the largest props trading place in Yunlan City, and countless people trade here every day."
patted Lin Xing on the back, drank wine and walked in.
"You're drunk like this, will we be deceived by others when we go in? I used to visit Panjiayuan, but I was deceived by thousands. ”
"Why are you stunned, hurry up and keep up!"
"Hey, it's coming."
Lin Xing followed Shi Lei around Pinglin Street, coming and going in several stalls, but he didn't buy anything.
After strolling around for a while, following the direction he was heading, Lin Xing faintly felt that there was something in front of him that was attracting him.
The further you go, the stronger this feeling of attraction becomes.
After a while, the two walked to a small stall, and Shi Lei picked up a small mirror and looked at it carefully.
Next to Shi Lei, Lin Xing only felt that the attraction was inexplicably strong at this time, and looking in the direction where the attraction came from, it was also a small stall.
The surrounding vendors are full of all kinds of props, and many people even put props on the street, but this stall is obviously a little different.
There were only three props on the stall, a long sword, a helmet, and a scroll with a short section open.
It's just a pity that one end of the scroll seems to have been torn open, and the traces of interlaced canine teeth, coupled with the abrupt image, indicate that there is another half of this scroll.
Looking at the image revealed by the scroll, Lin Xing faintly felt a little familiar, and then looked at it carefully, isn't this exactly the same as the painting style of the half of the scroll that Gao Mingxiang lost to himself.
Lin Xing walked over, picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully.
"Yes, that's right, it matches my half of the image, and I remember that Gao Mingxiang said last time that the treasure was in Yunlan City, and the other half can be found here?"
If these two conditions can only be regarded as clues, when he touched the scroll, the strong attraction made Lin Xing even more sure that this was the scroll that he was missing half of.
With a roll of his eyes, Lin Xing remembered the routine of buying antiques that he had seen before.
"Boss, what's the price of this scroll?"
The vendor was half leaning against the wall behind him at this time, his eyes were half closed, and he didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard Lin Xing's inquiry.
"10,000 gold coins, take it if you want!"
This price really surprised Lin Xing, and he knew how to buy antiques, and these people also knew the price of selling antiques.
"Boss, you're only half of this scroll, how can you buy this, it's too expensive." 、
Then he put down the scroll in his hand, picked up the helmet next to him and looked at it.
This seems to be an ordinary silver helmet, except for the handsome shape, I can't even see anything special.
"Boss, how can this helmet be sold?"
"200 gold."
"It's so dark, no wonder there are people in front of other people's stalls, but there is no one in yours."
Although he secretly slandered the boss in his heart, Lin Xing still asked with a smile.
"Boss, my friend's father has a helmet that looks very similar to this, and I lost it when I moved, I want to buy one for my friend's father, you are cheaper, I will ask for it together."
"100 gold coins, get out, don't bother me to sleep!"
Looking at the arrogant boss in front of him, Lin Xing was really angry, but he couldn't leave at this time.
Looking at the last remaining long sword, the price must be higher than this helmet, Lin Xing didn't bother to ask.
"Boss, I want 100 gold coins for this helmet, but you have to bring this scroll, otherwise I don't want it."
"Didn't you say it's half a scroll useless?"
"It's pretty good-looking, can't I go back and learn it?"
"150 gold coins, take them together, otherwise don't talk about it!"
Seeing that Lin Xing was about to pay for it, the stall owner got up all of a sudden, collected the gold coins, and saw that the number was fine, so he handed the scroll and helmet to Lin Xing together.
Then he carried the long sword, rolled up the blanket on the ground, and took out a small wine jug and drank a few sips.
"If you hadn't bought my things, I wouldn't have had any money to drink tonight, thank you, little brother."
Then he carried the things on his back and walked out, muttering a few words quietly as he walked, but it happened to be heard by Lin Xing, who had just put the things into the ring.
"The young master said that he could just sell it to him at a price, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, what a fool!"
