The heavy sword in front of me is about seven fingers wide and about two and a half fingers thick, and it is inserted in the knife holder, and the length can reach the waist and abdomen of an adult, which can be said to be heavy and large.

On the hilt of the heavy sword, there is an engraved wind spirit circle, which, once activated, can make the weight of the heavy sword lighter. There were a few small clasps on the sword, and Xiu Yi waved his hand casually, and he could clearly hear the sharp whistling of the wind as it passed through the holes.

This was a common practice among samurai, as some of the samurai's fighting qi could make even more piercing sounds through these thin holes, and those with deep fighting qi could even directly attack their opponent's brain through strong sound waves, causing them to fall unconscious or even die.

The sword body is also engraved with some exquisite patterns, but they are all decorations and have no special effect, but this heavy sword looks much more fancy because of this. Xiu Yi noticed that even the brocade box next to the heavy sword was made of fine fragrant wood, inlaid with delicate enamel mosaics, and engraved with heroes from ancient myths and legends.

"It's a good heavy sword, it's just a pity that this wind spirit array. Xiu Yi said lightly.

The samurai next to him saw Xiu Yi swinging the heavy sword casually, and he vaguely understood a little in his heart. Hearing Xiu Yi say this at this moment, he stepped forward and said, "Isn't it great that this Wind Spirit Array can make this sword lighter?"

Xiu Yi laughed, "The power of the heavy sword lies in the slash, not the straight stab. Its weight itself is a way to increase the power of your attacks, and you're a samurai, so you don't understand that, do you?"

The samurai laughed, "That's true. Equipping the heavy sword with the Wind Spirit Circle is actually equivalent to weakening its slashing power, and it can only use the samurai's own power, and can no longer use the power of this sword. ”

The aristocratic middle-aged man who came with the samurai said with a smile: "This kind of weapon is specially prepared for us people who obviously don't know martial arts, but want to be in the limelight. Some rich children sometimes need to show their bravery and domineering, and this kind of heavy sword is the best way to manifest it. As long as they secretly activate the magic circle, it seems as if they are very powerful, and sometimes they can fool many ignorant girls. ”

The aristocratic middle-aged man was also funny when he spoke, and he didn't mean to show off at all, but explained in a self-deprecating way why the heavy sword was engraved with a wind spirit magic circle, which made people have a good impression of it.

It's no wonder why this heavy sword has gone to such great lengths to make a fuss about textures, even the sword box is so beautiful, its meaning is an ornament in itself.

The old man in the shop saw that Xiu Yi seemed to be interested in weapons and armor, and hurriedly said, "If customers want to choose weapons, we still have some good stocks here." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi shook his head and said, "No, I just like this heavy sword, it's very good, for me, it's very suitable." ”

"How do you sell this weapon?" he asked the old man.

"A hundred Kingwitt. The old man replied.

This is by no means a cheap price, after all, this weapon is sold to the uneducated and unskilled people, and such people are usually the least short of money.

"It's a shame that I didn't have that much money with me. Xiui sighed and shook her head.

It's not surprising that Huey is clearly wandering around with a playful attitude, and no one would take a hundred Jinwit with them when they hang out. It's as if not many people carry tens of thousands of dollars in cash when they go shopping, unless they are prepared to buy some kind of high-priced item in advance.

At that time, Clarice suddenly said, "Don't you still have those three flasks? ”

Clarice noticed the admiring glance that Huey was giving her, apparently complimenting her on the right interface.

Sure enough, the old man wondered, "This guest, don't you plan to keep those potions?"

"Oh. Huey replied casually, "To me, these potions don't mean much. I learned from my tutor, and you know that there are a lot of times when young people are more impulsive, and sometimes there is some friction between young people in different families. I've had a bad time in this area, so I learned some samurai abilities, but that doesn't mean I'm going to fight, so I don't need them at all. As for these potions, it was purely because when I collected the accounts for the family this time, there was a guy who couldn't pay the money, so he had to use them to pay off the debt, oh, what a loser, he took out the most valuable things in the family, but only offset three hundred Jinvit. Until my clan knew about the three flasks of potions, I thought I could dispose of them as I pleased, and I would just have to return the three hundred gold vits to my clan anyway. ”

Everyone understood what Xiu Yi meant, and it was clear that a heavy sword that could be used to show off was more meaningful to him than a few bottles of the best potions. And the old man understood why the other party was reluctant to reveal the name of the producer.

Neither the party selling the potion nor the aristocratic boy in front of him wanted this matter to be widely spread. For this aristocratic boy, if his family knew that he had secretly sold three bottles of top-grade potions and fattened himself, he might be severely punished for it.

The boy obviously didn't intend to tell the truth, but his love for the heavy sword and the lack of cash made him want to sell the potion immediately, and this was a great opportunity, the old man realized.

The middle-aged man smiled, "I guess you must come from a very prominent family. ”

Xiu Yi Zhengse said: "Doing such a thing is degrading the family's reputation no matter what. Please allow me to keep it a secret from my family. ”

Clarice was completely impressed.

She finally understood why Xiu Yi had been so coy before.

This little liar, he is indeed a liar! He uses his love for the heavy sword as an excuse to tell a lie that he "would not have wanted to tell", and then uses this lie to cover up the loophole that cannot reveal the producer, so that the shop can buy his potion with peace of mind without worrying about the source of the potion. And it is this same lie that allows Xiu Yi to keep his identity a secret openly, without telling anyone who he really is. He deliberately displayed his aristocratic status to make the shopkeepers trust him more, but he was unable to confirm his identity.

Clarice remembers being told that a simple lie, combined with a brilliant acting, can make a great scam. On the contrary, even the most clever deception, without the support of enough wonderful acting skills, will only make it bankrupt.

The little liar clearly understands this, his lies are not very clever in themselves, and the point is that he interprets everything so naturally.

First of all, he used the way of evaluating the potions to attract the attention of the people here, and paid attention to his words, and then showed the potions to confirm their value and effect but said that they would not sell them, so as to arouse the desire in the hearts of the people, and finally showed his demeanor as a gentleman, showing his love for this heavy sword, and he even inadvertently helped him, prompting him to logically tell the lies that he had prepared a long time ago, so that everything was as natural as flowing water, and completely dispelled the doubts of the shops without leaving any traces of artificiality......

No wonder this bastard wants to take himself with him.

Clarice couldn't imagine who this teenager was, who not only had the best potions, but could put a simple deception so perfectly......

Oh, this little crook is so skilled, no wonder he was able to trick his master so much and finally succeeded in stealing the alchemical items. Well, obviously, if the people in the shop knew the origin of these potions, and with their connections, it was likely that they would get in touch with the merchant named Killery, and eventually expose the fact that the boy was in Fragrant Leaf City.

Clarice finally realized one thing: the handsome-looking young man had matured more mentally than she expected. He is not only proficient in business, but also knows people's hearts. Although he was not yet sixteen years old, he was in fact far more advanced than the average adult.

At least he's much more mature than I am, and he doesn't need to be superficially tough to show himself. Clarice recognizes this with regret.

The rest is much easier. The old man of the shop took two of the flasks, and the middle-aged nobleman bought the vials for his samurai.

After obtaining a heavy sword, Xiu Yi left with Clarice loaded with two thousand Jinvitt.

Clarice's mood at this time has changed from regret and chagrin at refusing the three bottles of potion to indignation and dissatisfaction when she lied to Xiui.

"You little liar, you pretended to be a nobleman and deceived and fooled everyone. You stole these potions, and you sold them to the merchants. If your former owner finds out about these potions in the shop, he will definitely pursue them. I'm going to sue you from the lord of the city!" Clarice gritted her teeth and lectured Huey.

"I guess that's not what you're really trying to say, Clarice, how much money do you need to get me to gag you?"

Clarice's eyes flashed with a flattering glow, "Oh, Fink, why have I never found you so cute?"

"Because you've only known me for less than twenty days, Clarice, tell me now how much money you want?"

"Half. ”

"It's impossible, I suggest you sue me. But until then, I'll leave you first, it's a fugitive anyway, and it's not a big deal to continue on the run. ”

"That's a third. Clarice relentlessly.

"Dream on. Huey hurried forward.

"Oh, a quarter, it can't be any lower. You don't have to do anything in the regiment from this day forward, you don't have to pay off the debts I owe, and you can stay with my girls until we arrive together in Southwairtown, don't you think they're cute?" said Clarice seductively.

Xiu Yi tilted his head and thought, "If I say that I won't give you a single extra son other than those twenty-five Jinvet, are you sure you're going to denounce me?"

Clarice's expression froze slightly.

Xiu Yi smiled, "You're not as unscrupulous as you appear, Captain Clarice. ”

At that moment, the cunning disguise was removed, and Clarice shrugged helplessly and sighed: "Well, you won, it's strange, why would you believe that I wouldn't denounce you...... Actually, I'm just trying to borrow money from you. Do you know how much I regret rejecting your potions in the first place? You let me know that I was the number one fool in the world. ”

"I thought my last suggestion would already help you solve your money problem. ”

"Yes, but that only allowed us to rent a space for a limited time, the troupe was too small and lacked some necessary props. The girls' costumes should have been changed a long time ago, but now they are being used for sewing and mending. We must also not let others see it. Casey's family is poor, and she sends a sum of money home every month to help her younger siblings, Anna's parents are bedridden and need her support, Daisy's family owes a lot of money to others, and Daisy is breathless just by the interest, and Lanti, who has always longed for a bracelet of her own, even the cheapest one. Oh, I'm a useless leader, my girls are having a terrible time, and I can't take care of them. So if any of them want to leave, I never stop them...... Your idea gave the cabaret a livelihood, but cut off the girls' path, and I want to compensate them. But I can't come up with that much money right now. ”

Her voice was a little low and a little whimpering, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Xiu Yi chuckled softly, "Okay, Captain Clarice, your tears have touched me, I know you are telling the truth, but there is really no need to act so exaggerated...... You're not as sad as you are, and if you cry at the mention of the girls' situation for so long, you're long overdue to commit suicide. ”

Clarice gave Huey a disgruntled kick and looked at Huey with those teary eyes, "At least you believe what I say, right?"

"Yes, I know you're not lying, it's just that you're not used to being so sentimental when you've always been strong. ”

"Acting is my job. Clarice grinned.

It is only at this time that the head of the regiment will reveal the essence of her feminine charm. Xiui looked at her carefully, realizing that she wasn't that old. At the age of twenty, she must have suffered a lot to pick the burden of a song and dance troupe.

Huey placed the bag containing two thousand Kinwitt in Clarice's hand.

Clarice snapped: "I don't need that much, and you need to use the money yourself." ”

"Do what you have to do, and give me the rest. ”

Clarice's eyes flashed with emotion, and she ran to the inn with her money bag in her hand, "I'll give it back to you!" she cried.

Looking at Clarice's figure as if she was afraid of Huey's repentance and desperately fleeing, Huey couldn't help but laugh out loud.

——————————————

Perhaps Clarice will never understand why Huey is so generous to help her after she treats her like that.

Could it be that he had taken a fancy to his beautiful appearance? Clarice could feel that the young man's heart was by no means as immature as he appeared, on the contrary, he had a maturity that ordinary people could not match. Two thousand gold wit to make a beautiful woman smile? Even the nobles could not do such extravagance.

In fact, for Xiuyi, the song and dance troupe is like a happy family, although it can't get rid of many negative feelings such as troubles, sorrows, and noise, but at least it doesn't have to struggle with intrigue every day.

Yes, conspiracy.

Even if he left Purgatory Island, he only magnified the circle of intrigue and struggle, but he could not get rid of the career of intrigue and intrigue, the hypocrisy and disguise, the habit and way of life of serving in the shadows and giving the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

Although it was his goal for him to travel the world and alchemy to pursue, the Reims Empire would never let him go.

He will not take the initiative to retaliate, but he will not hide like a mouse, panicking day and night.

So it was destined to be a war, a forced war of counterattack. A war that doesn't need him to pursue, but will actively pursue him.

And from the moment he left Purgatory Island, this war had just begun.

Even though his opponent is so strong, that doesn't mean he can't resist.

Not only did he have to resist, but he had to make the Reims Empire see his rebellion, be shocked by him, and be afraid of him. Just like a proud fighter, even if he dies, he will fight to the end.

On this point, Raschel was not mistaken about him.

Even in an environment like Purgatory Island, how could a person who never forgot to fight back disappear after leaving that Purgatory World?

He's not going to do that.

That's exactly why he can tolerate Clarice's blackmail against him, for him, at least Clarice is real, unpretentious, and doesn't need to be guarded against.

In this song and dance troupe, he can at least get his long-lost feelings of peace between people, even if it is short-lived.

Many things can only be understood when they are lost.

For Xiuy, this kind of peaceful relationship is perhaps the most valuable, because he has lost it for too long.
