"What are you talking about? One hundred and five gold coins? You are a naked blackmail! Yes, it is blackmail! I don't care who you are......"
"All right, Baroque, shut up, or you'll have to figure out how to get your own drink." (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)"
The dwarf's furious roar, with a terrifying sound, threatens to lift the roof of the 'Morty Treasures', the largest magical goods shop in the city. Fortunately, Edward's next small threat finally hit the only point in his near-rampage mind.
Or maybe I shouldn't have let him into the shop in the first place. The hunter rubbed his eyebrows, sneering in his heart. Then he took the bag of gold coins from the cold-faced clerk as fast as he could, and dragged him out of the shop with great difficulty.
After five days of adventure, thousands of miles and a few bizarre scenes, Edward really didn't want to, at least not want to be involved in any trouble, at least for a while.
Well, actually, until he entered this shop, the hunter's itinerary today was indeed quite smooth.
After being separated from a few half-elves, Edward finally enjoyed a rare period of peace. Oh, it's not peaceful, after all, in this era on the continent, horse-drawn carriages don't even have rubber wheels, let alone shock absorbers...... The bumps along the way made his bones almost fall apart - but the old worn-out peasant carriage drawn by the old horse was bumpy, but it was faster than expected, and the city of Rissouri was already in sight just after midday.
And getting into the city is not as difficult as you think.
I thought that this kind of large and medium-sized city was relatively strict in the investigation of homeless people, but after stuffing the yawning doorman with an extra two silver coins, the two of them, who were strangers, were all allowed to pass - after all, even if they were mercenaries, few of them could have the luxury of having a space pocket. Naturally, the guard could not have imagined that the two men in front of him, dressed in cloth clothes, were carrying a pile of miscellaneous items. Guy who doesn't even look like blackmail is necessary. In fact, he is a local tyrant who can be armed to the teeth and has a lot of money.
But the most ironic thing is that what these two local tyrants will face next is the embarrassment of being penniless.
The things on their bodies were worth ten thousand gold, but the cash was pitifully small - when he came out of Poplar Town a few days ago, even Edward, who was accustomed to calculations, did not expect that this adventure would become so unpredictable, so he did not have a dime of cash with him at all, and the mage had already teleported him to this realm more than a thousand miles away even before he had promised to pay for the adventure.
Compared to him, the dwarf Baroque has a bit of property, but after paying the hardware coins that I don't know if it was for medicine or wine, and two silver coins for entering the city, there are only seven copper left.
Therefore, Edward had no choice but to go to this shop first and exchange a scroll he had just found for more than 100 gold coins.
As the dwarves say, this is an absolutely loss-making business - the Fireball Spell is one of the most commonly used and practical spells in the Third Order, and even in a city with a large number of mages of this kind, it can be exchanged for at least a few hundred gold coins. But what can be done? For a hairy boy who has just arrived in your realm, in a place where he is not familiar with his life, if he wants to do the first transaction without losing money, there are only three possibilities, the first is that the background is so big that it is scary, the second is that its own strength is so big that it is frightening, and the third is that the luck is so big that it is frightening.
Unfortunately, Edward didn't have anything too big to be scary...... Or a few years later. So now, he must choose to accept this unfairness.
Moreover, at least two-thirds of the discount was unpleasant, even if the scroll was just bought and sold for no money, it still made Edward grin bitterly. But after counting the hundred or so gold coins back and forth, he had to make an even more unpleasant choice—he chose an inn opposite the shop, where many carriages were parked, and asked for two medium rooms with one gold coin a day.
More unpleasant? Yes, at least more unpleasant for the dwarves.
"I said, boy Edward, you're too a loser, aren't you? It's just a good sleep, a bed and a quilt, why waste this kind of money...... You're not one of those bullshit aristocrats, two silver a day's inn, can't you sleep too?" After entering the inn room, the dwarf couldn't help but let out a series of complaints about the hunter's "luxury", but after a few words, the guy appeared as the prototype: "If you have that money, you might as well buy a few bottles of good wine." And I ......"
Edward couldn't help but shake his head—the character of the dwarves is to say that they are straightforward and straightforward, but to put it badly, they are irritable, and their social composition is relatively simple, so it is naturally difficult to understand the so-called 'human feelings'.
Although the group of guys who had just been killed outside the city were just mercenaries, the forces behind them were by no means too small, and even if they broke up halfway, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be targeted by some people. What's more, the law and order in this world is very chaotic, the so-called city defense army is just an ornament to maintain the apparent order, and it is also different from the city management, it is not safe for a floating population like him at all, and it is even more dangerous than the gangsters and bandits - at least for the bandits, there is still this option, as long as the hands and feet are neat, there will be no big trouble, but if the city defense army is provoked, it will be difficult to hide, openly against the ruling class, for him as a small person, as stupid as spitting on the sky.
The advantage of this kind of larger hotel is that in order to maintain the reputation of making money, it is relatively safe, at least it can ensure that you do not take drugs during meals, and you will not be stabbed when you sleep - besides, he also really needs a relatively quiet place, a good rest, and by the way, sort out future plans, and ...... Take stock of your bags.
Of course, after all, Edward was not in the mood to explain this qiē to this guy now, so after thinking for a while, he casually threw two gold coins to the waiter who led the way: "Two meals, and a barrel of ale wine for this gentleman." Eight gallons minimum. ”
......
After dismissing the noisy dwarves and his belly, Edward was finally able to do his own thing quietly.
Slightly condensed the spirit, stirring a little bit of the shock of the magic net, and a lot of things poured out of the dimensional bag...... Edward tugged at the corners of his mouth, and reached out to pick up the black gem that looked most valuable.
Although it looked a little strange in color, the almost vertical reflection made it clear to Edward that it was a real diamond - half the size of a palm was already a sky-high price on earth, not to mention its appearance, which had been carefully ground into a square shape with hundreds of facets. If you look closely, you can see the sparkling ink, even if the color is not destined to be as dazzling as other kinds.
The value of such a piece of diamond, even in this possession of various magical items. And in the world where the production of gems is quite large, it is also very expensive - crystal ores without exception have an affinity for magic, which can be used in places such as catalysts, storage, excitation, etc., and are also the key to various magic circles, the more pure and immaculate the gem is, the greater the ability, if there is a mage who knows the goods, the value of this thing is enough to replace a medium-sized village and town.
...... And that's not all.
Edward narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the center of the crystal, which led to the darker part of it—through the light in the room, he could see that the black inside was not pure, but a delicate, obviously not naturally occurring texture, and those tight or distant lines constructed a wonderful pattern within it, exuding a subtle one. It seems to be absorbing the darkness of the light.
The hunter's heart couldn't help but move, and the extremely intricate pattern carved made people think of some kind of magic circle for the first time.
However, it is too monotonous, it is constructed of lines of different thicknesses and lengths, but it is also nothing more, there is no circle of magic circles, no core runes...... Anything similar to a circle. But it's so eye-catching...... The more you look at it, the more clearly you can see the outline of those subtle lines, thickness, length, angle...... The simple line segment contains a certain mysterious attraction, which almost captures the soul of the human being.
Not good!
Edward was shocked!
There seemed to be some kind of power in that gem, which was really taking his soul! Yes, that terrible gravitational pull, coming from the palm of his hand where the gem was clenching, kept pulling something away, bringing a terrible feeling of fatigue!
His knowledge of magical objects made it clear to him that such situations could often lead to terrible results. Magical items can certainly make ordinary people accessible to the convenience of that esoteric world, but in the final analysis, they still belong to mages, and ordinary people can use them, but some of them do not have high requirements for magic control, and have already imported most of the low-level goods of power, and fools who blindly try to cross this barrier without special training will usually only pay a terrible price.
The earth-shattering explosion that was enough to destroy the surrounding Qiē of the furious energy was just one of the more acceptable things...... It is not impossible to open a passage to a forbidden realm, bring a demon or some monster from another world to the world, imprison the soul, and turn into a ghost within a radius of a hundred miles.
If you think of the original owner of this thing, then it is not surprising that no matter what forbidden evil situation happens at this moment!
The boy flicked his palm anxiously, trying to throw away the gem, but then found that his body had barely obeyed the call...... The best effort was only to make the fingers twitch slightly, let alone stop the terrible energy from running, and even throwing the stone away!
His thoughts began to run heavy and his breathing began to be difficult, but just as the boy was almost gone, the crystal quietly left his hand, and it rolled on the table like an ordinary stone, and nothing like an explosion or eruption happened......
But before Edward, who had palpitations, could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice sounded in his ears!
"You're the one who woke me up?"
