Chapter 46 Patterned Steel

After a while, the shopkeeper took out a delicate long wooden box from the room.

Placing the wooden box on the counter, the shopkeeper took out a scimitar from it:

"This sword, known in the West as the Saladin Knife, was forged by the Persians from precious patterned steel, and the Saladin Knife was extremely valuable in the West, a symbol of wealth and status.

This knife was bought from a nobleman in the West with a lot of effort. ”

When the shopkeeper opened the wooden box, Luo Chen was fascinated by the knife. No, it should be said that I was fascinated by the pattern on the body of this knife. Stretching out his fingers, Luo Chen fascinated the layers of wavy patterns on the knife.

"What a beautiful pattern!"

Not only Luo Chen, but Li Yuxi and Lige were also fascinated by this pattern.

The shopkeeper looked at the expressions of the three people and said proudly:

"Of course, this kind of knife is also extremely precious in the West, especially with this pattern, it is even rarer, and only a few top nobles can have it. For this knife, it cost a lot of money. ”

Luo Chen knew that the shopkeeper was not lying, this kind of knife was indeed rare, especially in Dawei, it was not only a matter of materials, but also of forging technology.

"This pattern is the legendary ladder pattern, right?"

"Childe is very knowledgeable, this is the ladder pattern, the most precious pattern among the many patterns forged from patterned steel. ”

The shopkeeper lost no time in patting Luo Chen's ass.

"Unfortunately, this knife is not the style I like. ”

Luo Chen shook his head regretfully, and then asked the shopkeeper, "I wonder if there are any treasure knives forged from patterned steel here?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Childe said that he laughed, this knife was obtained by chance, it took several years and all his savings, how can there be a second one." ”

"The shopkeeper, do you have patterned steel for sale in this store?" Luo Chen asked again.

"Patterned steel? I've just arrived at the same time. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out an iron ball slightly larger than an adult's fist from a counter.

Luo Chen took the iron ball, looked at the stars on it, and was sure that it was patterned steel. I weighed it with my hands, about ten pounds, and it was still a little bit worse to build a knife.

"I want this piece of patterned steel, but forging a knife is still a little bit worse, I wonder if there is any patterned steel in the store?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Sorry, no, that's it." Don't talk about me, I'm afraid that there is only this one of all the shops in the entire Lingwu Pass. ”

"It's impossible, right? Wuling has so many shops, it can't be that there are no ones, right?" Li Yuxi said suspiciously.

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's true, the girl doesn't know, this pattern steel is also extremely precious in the West, and even fewer can appear in Dawei."

Once there is patterned steel for sale on the market in this Wuling Pass, it will be immediately bought by the people of the General's Mansion.

Today, this piece of patterned steel has just arrived, and the people from the General's Mansion haven't had time to come over, otherwise, you won't be able to see it. ”

Luo Chen checked the patterned steel: "That's okay! This piece of patterned steel, the shopkeeper will give a price!"

"Childe can see this piece of patterned steel is also related to it, and he doesn't ask for much silver, just according to the price given to the general's mansion, this ten-pound patterned steel, 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"So much!" Li Yuxi opened his mouth wide.

Luo Chen smiled, the price is the same as Xuanwen steel, but it is rarer than Xuanwen steel, knowing that the shopkeeper has given a very good price, so he didn't say much, took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper accepted the silver ticket with a smile on his face, wrapped the patterned steel in cloth, and handed it to Luo Chen again.

"Look, what is a rich man, that's it, ten thousand taels of silver are spent, and he doesn't blink his eyes. ”

Lige looked at Luo Chen, and smiled at Li Yuxi: "Yuxi, you were still distressed about those hundreds of taels of silver before, but now you can't even reach a fraction of others." ”

Luo Chen glared at Lige: "You don't make a fuss here, this silver was originally prepared to buy medicinal materials, who knew that it would encounter patterned steel." ”

"Shopkeeper, I heard that you just got a piece of patterned steel, we want it, take it out and take a look. ”

As soon as Luo Chen's words fell, a man's voice came from outside the door, followed by two young men and women who entered the store, and the woman was accompanied by a white tiger of the level of a fierce beast.

Luo Chen turned his head to look, the man's appearance was twenty-seven or eighteen, the third-rate peak realm, his face was handsome, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were always on the woman beside him,

The woman's twenty-four or fifth appearance is a second-rate mid-term martial artist, tall and tall, exuding a cold temperament on her body, and her face is expressionless.

After a while, the young man saw that no one answered him, so he took his eyes off the woman with difficulty, glanced at several people in the store, and saw that several people were all stunned to look at the young woman or the white tiger behind her.

"Humph!"

The young man snorted coldly, looked at the shopkeeper behind the counter, and said in an unkind tone: "Shopkeeper, what's the matter? Didn't you hear what Young Master Ben said?"

Suddenly, the shopkeeper came back to his senses from the young woman's beauty: "Eh! I heard, I heard, but the son was late, and the patterned steel had already been sold." ”

As soon as the two of them heard the news, they immediately rushed over, as far as Ben Gongzi knew, the people from the General's Mansion hadn't come yet!"

"Don't be angry, Childe! This patterned steel has indeed been sold, but the person who bought it is not from the General's Mansion. ”

"It's not the General's Mansion, who is that? It can't be a few of them, right?"

The young man pointed to Luo Chen and the three of them and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, these are the ones who bought it." ”

"That's right, aren't the people still here! Let them give us the patterned steel. ”

"I'm sorry! These guests have already paid the money, and the patterned steel is already theirs, and they have no right to call the shots. The shopkeeper shook his head and said firmly.

When the young man heard this, he looked Luo Chen and the three of them up and down. When he saw that he was younger than himself, but Xiu Wei left the song like himself, the young man snorted coldly. When he saw Li Yuxi, the young man's eyes lit up, but he quickly covered it up.

As for Luo Chen, the young man directly ignored it, but when he saw the cloth bag in Luo Chen's hand, the young man said arrogantly: "Boy, give the pattern steel to this son, and this son will give you an extra hundred taels of silver." ”

"Not for sale!"

Luo Chen's face was slightly cold, and he refused without hesitation.

Seeing that the young man spoke in such a tone to Luo Chen, Li Ge and Li Yuxi also looked at him with unkind faces.

And the young woman, as if nothing had anything to do with her, stood there without saying a word from the moment she entered the door.
