Sky City covers an extremely large area and has a large population, plus some surrounding villages and towns, the total number of people has reached millions. It is not easy to manage such a city well. Fortunately, Xiao Bufan is indeed capable and clever, but it also allows the people on this side to live and work in peace and contentment, without fear of famine. Every day, the people who enter and leave the city are bustling and endless, and all kinds of vendors and pawns are innumerable, and it is a peaceful and prosperous world.

A few people walked forward slowly, enjoying the street scene, and the depression of the past few days was swept away. Rou'er was even more worried, smiling, holding Jin'er and looking left and right, from time to time showing surprised eyes at the things sold by the street vendors.

Seeing her like this, Dao Yuan stuffed some silver into her hand and said with a smile: "Rou'er, buy whatever you like." ”

Rou'er looked at the silver in her hand, shook her head and said: "It's still not good, we don't have much money around us, let's save some money, I'll just look at those things, I don't necessarily have to buy them." ”

Dao Yuan sighed in his heart, turned his head and asked Lei Luo: "You are more familiar with this place than me, where is there a pawnshop or an armory shop or something like that?"

"Yes, there is an armory shop not far ahead, what are you going to do?"

"You'll know when you get there. ”

According to Lei Luo's guidance, the three of them came to a store called Thousand Soldiers Pavilion, where the façade is very large, and the decoration is quite luxurious, and it looks like a place for high-end consumption.

Upon entering, a teenager dressed in a short dozen was wiping with a long gun. Another old man who looked like a shopkeeper was playing with the abacus in front of the counter, and the abacus rose and fell, and a crisp sound sounded.

Seeing the three of Daoyuan coming in, the shopkeeper hurriedly put down the things in his hand, and while beckoning the young man to make tea, he greeted Daoyuan and asked with a smile: "A few people come, the small shop is really full of brilliance!

Dao Yuan also saluted: "Sir is polite, let's just take a look, dare to ask what kind of weapons are all here?"

"Hehe, although the shop doesn't dare to say that it has all of them, there are still 90% of the weapons in the rivers and lakes, and the son can choose at will, I don't know what kind of weapons are used to it?"

Dao Yuan looked at the dazzling array of weapons on the shelves in the hall and said, "Your store is called a thousand soldiers, but there are really a thousand kinds of weapons?"

The shopkeeper didn't want to ask such a sentence, and said slightly: "The name of the store, firstly, is to inform the guests of what the store sells, and secondly, it is also to attract customers, and secondly, it is also to show their own strength." As for whether it lives up to its name...... Hehe, the old man doesn't dare to show off, it depends on the evaluation of the guests. ”

"Hehe, sir's words are reasonable. It seems that your business should be good. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "TOEFL, the business of the small shop is quite passable." Come, a few of you, please be seated. ”

After the young man brought the tea, the shopkeeper asked, "I don't know how many people have come to the shop, but what do you want to buy?"

Dao Yuan put down the teacup and said, "Mr. is wrong, we are not here to buy things, but to sell things." ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at the three of them carefully, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the son to make it clear." ”

"Dare to ask if your store's weapons were made by yourself, or were they trafficked from elsewhere?"

"This ...... Although the small shop industry is not large, the chain is quite complete. Most of the weapons sold are home-made, and only a small number are trafficked from other places, because some materials are really hard to find, and it is also a helpless move, but I don't know what Childe means by this?"

As the shopkeeper spoke, he guessed Dao Yuan's thoughts. He also thought that Dao Yuan and Rou'er were the sons of which family, and they were shy because of their big spending, so they came here with their entourage, wanting to sell their weapons for some silver.

It's not that he hasn't encountered this kind of thing, but the three people in front of him are all empty-handed, and they don't have any weapons with them, which makes him a little confused about Dao Yuan's intentions.

Dao Yuan smiled indifferently: "Sir, there is no need to doubt, we are indeed here to sell something to your store, but it is not a weapon, but an ore." ”

"Ore?"

"Not bad. Dao Yuan nodded: "Mr. also said just now, the materials for some weapons are hard to find, and the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, since there is no suitable material, then naturally the corresponding blade cannot be created." It was with this in mind that I dared to come to the door. I've got a stone with strange metal here, and I'd like you to take a look, but I wonder if you're interested?"

"This ......" the shopkeeper hesitated: "Don't tell the boy, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing...... Of course, I'm not saying no, but if Childe's stuff is really good, I can consider it. But only if it's as good as you say. ”

"I don't think you will be disappointed. ”

Dao Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and as soon as his mind moved, a colorful stone the size of an egg appeared in his hand and was casually placed in front of the shopkeeper.

The colorful stone whose energy has been absorbed no longer emits light, but has turned into a dark and heavy stone, which is only different in color and inconspicuous compared to ordinary stones.

Rou'er vaguely knew something, but didn't speak.

Lei Luo on the side almost didn't glare. Before he came, he muttered in his heart, he didn't know what Dao Yuan wanted to do, but now when he saw this situation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times. The heart said that you are really my boss, what I said earlier is so lively, I thought you had something good, after a long time to do such a small piece of broken stone, the energy of this thing has completely disappeared, what value can it have! Even if you want to deceive people, you have to find someone who doesn't know the goods! This old man has been doing this business for decades, and people's eyesight is not covered, how can he be so easily fooled!

But to Lei Luo's surprise, as soon as the colorful stone appeared, the shopkeeper's face became solemn, he has been in this industry since he was a child, and he has a lot of experience in all the procedures of casting weapons. What kind of ore can be smelted into what kind of metal, and what kind of characteristics it will have after being made into a weapon, it can be said that he can't be more ripe. The stone in front of him was obviously extraordinary, and with his decades of eyesight and experience, he couldn't even recognize what kind of ore it was.

Carefully pick up the colorful stone, it is quite heavy to start, and it has a certain temperature, not the cold feeling of ordinary ore. He swiped it in his hand a few times, felt it carefully for a moment, and then spoke: "Childe's stone is indeed extraordinary, the old man is shallow and can't recognize this thing, but I can give Childe an answer: This stone shop accepted it, and the price was ...... Five hundred taels of silver, what do you think?"

Lei Luo opened his eyes as big as a bull's eye again: Damn, no, it's really so valuable!? Could it be that this old mind is confused? But, how is this possible.

Five hundred taels of silver is definitely unimaginable wealth for Lei Luo, you know, the daily expenses of ordinary people in a year are only about twenty taels of silver. Thinking that he has been a beggar since he was a child, it is rare to have money in his hands, even if he has dozens of copper coins, it has already made him happy for many days.

Dao Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. is really good at doing business, I don't know what it is, I can offer a price of five hundred taels, no wonder your store's business can be so good." ”

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from the son, the old man is a businessman, so he naturally wants to make a profit, so he can't do a loss-making business." ”

Dao Yuan nodded and said, "I can hear that Mr. is a man who tells the truth, but is this price...... IMHO, it's a bit lower. ”

"That's according to Childe's meaning......"

"Three thousand taels. Dao Yuan directly stretched out three fingers.

Lei Luo suddenly became a spirit, and his eyes were already open to the extreme: confused! The boss is confused?

Even Rou'er's face moved.

The shopkeeper looked at his three outstretched fingers, his face was pale, and he was about to say something, but he heard a voice say: "Okay, according to the meaning of the little brother, three thousand taels is three thousand taels." ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see a person coming out of the back hall, walking closer with a smile, and saying to the shopkeeper: "Uncle Lin, go get the silver." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Hearing this voice, the shopkeeper bowed his head slightly to the visitor, and without even hesitating, he turned around and went to the back hall to get the money.

Dao Yuan saw that this person was about thirty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, elegant speech, and casual gestures, giving people a feeling of warmth and peace, and secretly praised in his heart.

The man glanced at the colorful stone on the table and said, "Since this thing belongs to the little brother, presumably the little brother must know its value, three thousand taels of silver, I have taken a lot of advantage." ”

Dao Yuan smiled but did not answer.

The man arched his hand and said, "In Xia Song Mingzhou, I haven't consulted yet......

"Dao Yuan. ”

A gleam flashed in Song Mingzhou's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The little brother is handsome and elegant, and he is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Dao Yuan smiled lightly: "The young owner is polite, I'm just an ordinary person." ”

Song Mingzhou glanced at the colorful stone and said, "I don't know if there is a little brother of this thing?" If there is, you can collect it all, and the price will be more satisfactory to you." ”

"Sorry, that's it for now. ”

"That's a pity!" Song Mingzhou sighed slightly: "It would be better if there were more." ”

He asked again, "I don't think the little brother is a local." ”

Dao Yuan looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Does this question have anything to do with our transaction?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else, just casually asked. Song Mingzhou said with a smile.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought the silver tickets, one hundred taels each, a total of thirty, put them in front of Daoyuan, and said, "This is three thousand taels of silver, please take it." ”

"Not really. Dao Yuan responded, looked back at Lei Luo and Rou'er, and said, "What you like, pick it yourself." ”

Rou'er shook her head slightly, indicating that she was not interested.

"Really!"

Hearing this, Lei Luo looked at the various weapons around him with bright eyes, rubbed his hands again and again, and was hesitating, when he suddenly saw the spear that had been wiped clean just now, and pointed with his hand: "That's it." ”

"Good eyesight!" said the shopkeeper: "This spear was originally made of fine iron produced in the bitter cold land, and a very precious phantom gold was added to it, which is not only full of toughness, but also dances with a shadowy shadow, which can confuse the enemy to the greatest extent and make the opponent unable to see the attack." Not only that, this gun also imitates the characteristics of the artifact soul breaking gun, the gun barrel is two sections, half hollow, can be freely retractable, to be long, to be short, it is definitely a sharp weapon for walking the rivers and lakes, and the price is ...... Five hundred taels. ”

When Lei Luo heard the price, his expression froze, and his outstretched arm suddenly shortened by three points, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I said old man, how can you say that we have just made a deal, and your young master has admitted that you have taken advantage of us, why do you still open your mouth! Five hundred taels? This is too expensive, isn't it? Don't you sit on the ground and start the price?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Song Mingzhou with some embarrassment, and said: "Actually, the price of this gun is seven hundred taels of silver, if it weren't for the sake of the young master, I wouldn't have sold five hundred taels anyway." ”

"You ......"

Dao Yuan waved his hand to stop the thunder fall, and said with a smile: "What Mr. said is true, this gun is indeed worth the price, if you are pestering, it will make people laugh." ”

Song Mingzhou said: "A gun is a good thing, and it complements each other with this little brother." Since the little brother has taken a fancy to it, why not give it to you for free today!"
