Chapter 297 Magnificent Necklace
Gu Yuan didn't think that his judgment was completely wrong, and lucky people might be able to save the day in their lifetime. I saw that the pitch-black armor on his body released a light red brilliance at the moment when many bloodthirsty demons surrounded him, like the first warm morning light in the morning, although it was not so dazzling, but it was enough to illuminate this gloomy environment.
The moment those flower demons and dryads came into contact with the pale red light, they scattered one after another, retreating to a very distant place, and no longer dared to approach Gu Yuan's side. They seemed to be extremely afraid of the aura released from the battle armor, as if they had encountered a natural enemy or nemesis, and they did not have the courage to offend the silent and formless majesty.
In this way, under the protection of that battle armor, Gu Yuan escaped the catastrophe, left this ruin smoothly without danger, and successfully brought out some very rare medicinal materials, such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, hundred-year-old fairy grass, and so on.
After this incident, Gu Yuan couldn't let go of this pair of black armor, and swore that he would never sell it to others in this life, and now he has regarded this armor as an artifact given to him by the gods, and he firmly believes that it has the magical ability to suppress evil and ward off evil spirits and bless future generations, so that their family can turn evil into good fortune and enjoy eternal peace from now on.
Gu Yuan named this armor "Holy Armor to ward off evil spirits", and told his son that he must do his best to protect this armor, never let it be taken away by outsiders, and pass it on from generation to generation as a family heirloom, so that their family can always be blessed and keep Kangtai forever.
Two years after Gu Yuan's death, Winterfell has become a household name in the commercial center. Although Gu Yun, the son of an antique dealer, did not inherit his father's hobby of exploration, he had a talent for business. Knowing that there was little room for growth in the town where he lived, he decided to move to Winterfell with his family and join the fast-growing business trend. This new generation of antiques dealers is convinced that with his abilities, he will be able to carve out his own niche in Winterfell, and carry on the family business that his father has spent his life building.
After arriving in Winterfell, Gu Yun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a very spacious storefront. He had the craftsman renovate the storefront, reducing the space of the store a bit, and installing a secret door, behind which he had the craftsmen build a secret room, a place for private collections.
Gu Yun had always taken everything his father said to heart, and he believed that the black armor was a divine artifact for them, and that only by placing it near the storefront could the store prosper. He couldn't put such a precious thing in front of the public, so as not to make people have bad intentions, so the secret room behind this secret door became the best place to store the "Holy Armor to ward off evil spirits".
As he expected, under the blessing of the "Holy Armor to ward off evil spirits", the business of the antique store was very hot, and it didn't take long for it to become the most famous antique shop in Beiju Luzhou, which was well-known in all directions.
Anyone who has visited the store has found the items to be very exquisite, not only genuine, but also of high quality, and very reasonably priced, which makes them very satisfied.
Gu Yun knows how to figure out the psychology of customers, and he puts quality first when purchasing goods, preferring to pay a high price rather than buy antiques of mediocre quality and low price. And when setting prices, he can also guess the customer's heart through empathy
Although this will result in some goods not much more expensive than they cost, it has managed to get a lot of repeat customers. The profits gradually accumulate into a lot, and the income is actually very rich, and in this way, the reputation of the store has also been successfully launched, so why not.
For this ancient luck, every day of life seems to be nothing special, but one day he encounters a strange thing that he has always remembered.
He remembered that it was the fifth day after the antique shop opened, around midnight.
A beautiful woman with brown hair and blue eyes and a navy blue wavy dress came to the store. Gu Yun had a refreshing feeling the moment he saw her, although there were not a few beautiful girls he had seen in his life, but it was the first time he had encountered such a quiet temperament. He greeted the woman warmly, just as he does with every customer of his own.
The woman replied politely, in a voice that was very different from that of ordinary people, low but very pleasant.
Gu Yun asked her what she needed, and the woman said that she would have to walk around the store before deciding. After the tea, the woman had already walked back and forth in the store, but her eyes didn't seem to show a look of affection or curiosity for a moment. Gu Yun saw the woman's demeanor in his eyes, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew that this customer didn't seem to have any interest in the antiques in his store. This is the first time that a customer has entered this store, and he is not amazed by the delicacy of the goods, and Gu Yun can't help but feel a sense of frustration.
"She doesn't seem to like these curios, but they've been carefully selected by me. Isn't she interested in antiques? What is the point of her coming to my shop?"
Gu Yun couldn't help but be puzzled, obviously all the antiques in the store were selected by themselves, whether it was a man or a woman, the old man or a teenager, they could find the right thing for themselves here. But the brown-haired woman looked uninterested, as if she was accustomed to seeing rare treasures, and did not think of the good things in this room.
The brown-haired woman came to the shopkeeper at this time and asked politely: "Shopkeeper, the little woman takes the liberty of asking, maybe it will touch your **, please bear with me." ”
"It's okay, just ask, I promise to answer all questions, and I won't prevaricate. Gu Yun immediately responded.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, then I'll get straight to the point. I wonder if you have a black armor in this shop that glows red from time to time?" asked the brown-haired woman.
Gu Yun was taken aback when she heard this, and immediately raised her vigilance against this woman in her heart, and the original good impression instantly collapsed and began to change to the other side, at this moment the image of the brown-haired woman in her heart was very close to those thieves who robbed the house.
"How did you know we had this armor here?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Yun regretted it very much, knowing that he cared about it, he was chaotic, and he had said the wrong thing unconsciously.
"This would be tantamount to telling her that the 'Evil Armor' is indeed with us, and I am so stupid that I may not be able to give up now. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Yun can only bite the bullet to meet the next "challenge".
I heard the brown-haired woman say, "Can you let me take a look at that armor, and I'll tell you everything you want to know." ”
listen
Hearing this, Gu Yun couldn't help but be angry, and said categorically: "This battle armor is a sacred relic of our family, and it will never be taken out for others to enjoy, let alone sold. If you're just interested in this Warframe, I'm sorry I can't accommodate your request. ”
The implicit meaning in this sentence is very obvious, that is, "I will not believe your nonsense, and I will not give you a chance to take this armor, please don't be bored".
"Isn't it okay to just look at it? Believe me, I won't buy it, and I won't do anything wrong, I just want to see it with my own eyes. The brown-haired woman said sincerely.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it, there's no room for discussion, so the girl should go back. Gu Yun said in a deep voice, his tone firm, and there was no room for turning back at all.
"That's fine. I'm sorry to bother the shopkeeper for so long. ”
The brown-haired woman suddenly took out a necklace from her bosom, and the pendant on the necklace was an incomparably pure sea-blue gemstone, shining with a magnificent light that seduced the soul, and there was a burst of fresh breath above the sea from the gem, just smelling it for a moment would make people feel refreshed. It is like standing on the beach, admiring the endless sea, and the state of mind becomes as vast as the vast ocean in an instant.
Gu Yun was deeply fascinated by this necklace the moment he saw it, and he was immersed in the charm of that sapphire and couldn't extricate himself. Although his daily life is inseparable from these antique jade, glass gems, it can be said that he is well-informed, and he is used to many priceless treasures, but at this moment he has to admit that there is a sky outside the sky, "there is a stone outside the stone", such a pure and beautiful gem is the first time he has seen it in his life.
While admiring and being shocked, as an antique lover, his possessiveness also began to move. His subconscious mind kept hinting at him, telling him that he wanted to get this necklace and keep it with the "Evil Armor" to treasure forever.
Although reason felt that something was wrong, the subconscious mind finally gained the dominance of consciousness, but before Gu Yun was about to ask the brown-haired woman, the other party actually spoke first.
"What does the shopkeeper think of this necklace, and how much is it worth?" The little woman has been shy lately, so she has no choice but to take this heirloom away. But I don't know if it's of any practical value and whether it will allow me to get through this difficult time. The brown-haired woman whispered, frowning slightly, looking pitiful.
"Don't worry, girl, this necklace is rare and valuable. If the girl wants to give this chain out, can she give it to the next, and the next is very fond of this chain. I am willing to pay a hundred taels of gold to buy this necklace, although the price may still be a little lower, but I promise the girl that in the future, as long as the girl gathers a hundred taels of gold, she can come to me at any time to redeem the necklace, and the next copper plate will not be too much. I don't know what the girl thinks?" Gu Yun is like a ghost, insisting on doing this obviously not very cost-effective business, which shows how persistent he is about this necklace.
"The shopkeeper is willing to contribute a hundred taels of gold, isn't the little woman dreaming?" the brown-haired woman was stunned when she heard this.
"Naturally not, the girl's necklace is definitely worth the price. ”
"The great kindness of the shopkeeper, the little woman is unforgettable, and since you appreciate this necklace so much, the little woman will give it to you, and you will be its owner from now on. ”
