"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Xiao Yao's distraught look, Maple Yelin asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's okay, isn't that Wu En missing anything at all?" Xiao Yao said lightly.

Maple Yelin shook his head and said seriously: "If he is very important to you, I will send someone to investigate it all the time, as long as he is in the Dongzhou Territory, he will definitely not be able to escape the control of the official." ”

Clenched his fists slightly, a sense of loss rose in Xiao Yao's heart, and he hated for ten years just to kill his father's enemy with a blade, but at this time, that damn guy evaporated from the world, and it was inevitable that he would be hit hard.

"Then it's troublesome Brother Feng. Xiao Yao clenched his fists and said.

"It's just a gesture, this jade plate is given to you, if you need my help in the future, just take it to the Dongzhou Mansion to find me. ”

Maple Yelin took off a jade plaque from his waist and handed it over.

Looking at the jade plaque engraved with the word "Dongfu" in his hand, Xiao Yao smiled indifferently and said, "With your backer, I really feel very proud." ”

"I'll take it, don't use it as a pendant, I hope you will make more enemies and hatred in the future, so that I will live a more fulfilling life. Maple Leaf Forest encouraged.

Smacking his tongue, Xiao Yao felt like a doll in the Maple Leaf Forest, and he really couldn't understand what these aristocratic sons and daughters thought about their distorted psychology.

"City Lord, I want to buy some rare metals, I don't know where Tianhai City sells them?" Xiao Yao said.

The city lord thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The only one in Tianhai City who holds the mining right is the Chen family, you might as well go to the shop they opened to try your luck." ”

Nodding, Xiao Yao inquired about the specific situation, and left under the pretext of excuse.

......

After bypassing a few streets, Xiao Yao came to a prosperous area in the north of Tianhai City, "Gulan Commercial Street".

The reason why it is sought after and favored by many people is mainly that the items sold in Gulan Commercial Street are some of the must-haves for the rivers and lakes, all kinds of life-sustaining and hemostatic pills, all kinds of protective gear, and eighteen kinds of weapons can be said to have everything.

After visiting a few shops at random, Xiao Yao has gained a lot of knowledge, especially when he is out wandering the rivers and lakes without good equipment, he is half on the edge of death, and he may not know when he will go to the Yama Palace to report, and these merchants are looking at the potential market, and they are making a variety of items to meet the needs.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yao stopped in front of a shop, and the plaque above was engraved with three big golden characters "Jingzhen Fang".

At this time, two customers in the house were talking with an old man who looked like a shopkeeper, and suddenly saw someone come in, and a young man greeted him with a smile.

"This son, please inside!"

The guy greeted warmly, and judged the customer's identity and spending power with a professional eye.

Xiao Yao nodded politely, and slowly walked to the counter to take a look at the various metal samples displayed inside.

With a grin, the young man stepped aside, obviously Xiao Yao's actions made him mistakenly think that he was just coming in to hang out, so he didn't talk to him.

As for Xiao Yao, he didn't know this, he was still staring at the sample intently, and he couldn't figure out what kind of metal was more suitable for use in the war halberd.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm also an old customer, can the price of this piece of cold iron be more favorable. ”

"The Chen family has never indiscriminately raised the price for old customers, since you buy sincerely, I naturally want to give you a satisfactory price. ”

"In this way, I will thank Shopkeeper Chen first. ”

"You're welcome, the Chen family is also honored to be favored by old customers. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and then walked into the trading room.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yao had a good impression of the old shopkeeper in his heart, and being able to get such trust from old customers was enough to show that the items sold by the Chen family were genuine, so that he didn't have to worry about being deceived.

"This boy, you've been standing in the store for half an hour, do you want to buy anything?" said the man, displeased.

Slightly stunned, turning his head to look at the guy, Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment: "Buy, but I don't know what to buy." ”

"Childe is not joking with me, if you don't know what to buy, please go out, I don't accept idlers here. The guy said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao's face was blue and red, obviously he was telling the truth, but he made this young guy mistakenly think that he was teasing him, so it was better to directly give himself an eviction order.

"Kimi, what are you talking nonsense. ”

At this time, Shopkeeper Chen walked out of the trading room and stared at the young man with a frown.

Trembling, the young man explained: "Shopkeeper, this boy is sincere to make trouble, ask him what to buy, he won't say, I have received such a vexatious customer for the first time." ”

"The visitor is a guest, even if you don't buy it, you have to give it away respectfully, in vain I have worked hard to teach you, I really don't understand the rules more and more. ”

Seeing that the guy was speechless, Shopkeeper Chen's face instantly became gloomy.

"This is a misunderstanding, so don't blame him. Xiao Yao interjected.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded and said apologetically: "The son is open-minded, and the old man admires him." ”

Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, and his depression disappeared.

"I don't know what metal this boy wants to buy, the old man can help you refer to it. Shopkeeper Chen smiled.

The war halberd in his hand was handed over, and Xiao Yao said, "Please ask Shopkeeper Chen to help me choose a piece of metal suitable for making a crescent blade." ”

Frowning, he reached out and stroked the war halberd, and after a while, Shopkeeper Chen said flatly: "With all due respect, the materials of this war halberd are too cold, and even the process of making weapons is extremely rough. ”

"What does Shopkeeper Chen mean?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any cheap metal here to match this halberd, so why don't you look elsewhere. ”

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Chen is as good as possible, as long as the price is right, I will consider buying it." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't seem to be joking, Shopkeeper Chen pondered, so he took out a few metal samples from the counter.

"This piece is Mithril, the metal density is higher than bronze, and the price is thirty taels of silver per catty. Shopkeeper Chen introduced.

Xiao Yao shook his head, indicating that he was not very interested.

"This piece is cold iron, the metal density is average, but the toughness is excellent, and the price is fifty taels of silver per catty. Shopkeeper Chen said.

Xiao Yao shook his head again.

Shopkeeper Chen patiently introduced five rare metals, and the price also rose from low to high to 300 taels of silver per catty, but Xiao Yao was still unmoved.

At this time, Shopkeeper Chen also became a little impetuous, but he still kept smiling out of politeness.

"Childe, I don't know if the metal material doesn't meet the requirements, or if there is a problem with the price?" asked the shopkeeper Chen.

"I'm sorry, there are too many samples, I'm a little unsure, I don't know if there are any better rare metals in the store, by the way, let me refer to it?" Xiao Yao said.

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned, judging from Xiao Yao's dress, he didn't seem to be a child of a rich family, and the weapons he used were also garbage in the garbage, which really made me wonder if he was here to make trouble.

Thinking of this, out of professional ethics and in order to send Xiao Yao away, Shopkeeper Chen simply took out a fist-sized piece of red metal from the drawer under the counter in one step.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and a trace of inexplicable excitement rose in his heart.

"It's a metal made of lava, and we call it the Heart of Red Flame. Shopkeeper Chen said lightly.
