CH.21 The Approaching Game

"Get out your best sword. top.” Carl said to the clerk in a commanding tone.

"Every one on display here is the best of the best......"

"Don't let us look at this garbage, do you want to ruin the sign of this century-old shop?" Karl scolded the clerk as he pulled out two 1000 crystal coins from his pocket.

"I'm sorry, but you two are here, please. The clerk suddenly knew what he had to do and opened the small door that led to the inner store.

Karl strode in, and Ahlers turned his head.

"Your names are Lena and Eva. Ahlers asked Ai Xue, who was pausing on the side of the magic item.

"How do you know?"

"Teacher Rhein once told me about you, the two people who took the magic test after me were extremely talented, and I had the impression that the girls behind me at that time were the two of you. ”

"You have a really good memory. Why are you looking for us?" asked Lena. She couldn't get used to the style of these nobles

"If the two young ladies don't dislike it, let's go in and have a look together. ”

"We don't have that much money. Zero interjected. Obviously, the behavior of the two people at first did not give her much affection.

"It's okay, if you like something, you can tell me. By the way, you guys are all together, so let's all come in. ”

"I've heard that there are a lot of precious alchemy items in the store, and it seems that it is difficult to see them in normal times. Karen couldn't hold back a little in her heart, and looked at the others with a random inquiring gaze.

Icarus put on a business-like expression like "I don't care, listen to everyone".

Although she didn't admit it, Lena's expectant look betrayed her.

"Then go in, didn't someone say what he wanted? "Zero knows that everyone wants to see the legendary alchemy items, but in fact, he is not either. Pushing it to Ahlers is just finding a staircase for himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come here. Ahlers gracefully made an inviting gesture.

Unlike the outer store, there is no sunlight in the inner store, but instead there are bright and soft magic lights. Weapons and armor appear to be displayed haphazardly on the shelves, without being categorized.

"Everything here is carefully crafted by the hands of masters, and it is completely different from the mass production products outside. It was not the young clerk who said this, but a middle-aged man with a mustache and bright eyes. He looks like a shrewd businessman, revealing the identity of this man - he is the owner of this shop.

"Since it is the person brought by Master Ahlers, it is naturally a distinguished customer of this store, please feel free to observe and choose. ”

[What's the matter with this guy? Even Twilight's boss is so respectful to him]

Zero, who had doubts, didn't say it, presumably Ai Xue and the others would have the same thoughts, and it was not good to ask me directly.

Many of the things here don't look as glamorous as the displays in the outer store, but have a sense of heaviness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the vicissitudes of history. Twilight doesn't produce these things herself, they are collected from all over the world, or some masters put them here for consignment. The boss himself was not a craftsman or alchemist, but a merchant and connoisseur.

"That's it. Carl picked up a striped steel longsword, "How much?"

"This sword comes from the hands of the southern dwarves, mixing different metals into steel in a certain proportion, and then calcining with a special technique, the surface of the material shows a regular pattern, although it has not been enchanted, but its hardness and strength are far more than ordinary steel several times, and it will not rust lightly. Only 200 gold. ”

"No problem, we'll settle the bill together in a moment. Cousin, have you made your choice?"

"I didn't plan to buy it, but you brought me here. Alers shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Ai Xue and the others behind him, "But that's fine." ”

"You're not going to take out the dragon's teeth in a game, are you? ”

"No, it's okay to order it normally, the kind that the academy uses for free, after all, it's not all the time, your weapons are better than your opponent's. Besides, that guy also uses an ordinary long sword. ”

"Do you still care about that Leonard......"

And on the other side:

"It's amazing, even a newbie like me can clearly feel the magic in it. "Lena constantly wanders between different wands and staffs.

Icarus, on the other hand, saw an old book with the words "Principles of Mechanical Design" written on it. She was reaching for it.

"Please don't touch it, young lady. This book is a precious manuscript on which the magic of perpetuation is applied. The originals are kept in the Zài Workshop Museum, and their contents can only be viewed by those who enter the workshop. Of course, if you're willing to spend 500 gold, you can take it now. However, I can't guarantee that you will be able to read this. Even if you can understand it, you can't do it without the corresponding processing equipment. ”

Icarus silently pulled out a crystal coin.

"We're sorry, but we don't accept Imperial Crystals. The boss said regretfully and did not accept the money.

Obviously, Icarus, who lives in seclusion, doesn't know much about the common sense of the continent. Crystal Coins can only be used in the country where they were issued, and have a unique magical message on them. If you can exchange huàn gold coins at will, it may lead to a large-scale loss of gold in your own country.

"It's okay, I'm willing to exchange huàn with this young lady, I believe this Imperial Crystal Coin must be real. Aleth took a crystal coin from Karl and put it in the boss's hand, then took her from Icarus.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being abrupt. The boss put the money away and made an apologetic gesture, "You can take the book, beautiful young lady." Then, the boss handed over a 500 gold crystal coin to Icarus.

In the end, it was only Carl and Icarus who bought the things, and everyone else just looked at it, after all, they had only known each other for a long time, and no one was embarrassed to let Ahlers pay for him.

"What's so good about that book, it's worth 500 gold coins. Lena asked, puzzled.

"There are a lot of examples of applying theory to practice, and you can see what you have learned before that can be used for anything. ”

"Compared to this, I still care more about the actions of that Ales, it stands to reason that the crystal coin of the empire is a used crystal stone in the kingdom, but he is still willing to exchange his own and Icarus for huàn. Judging from his actions from the beginning, he knew about Lena and Ai Xue, but he shouldn't know Icarus's identity. Zero analyzed slowly, "Let's ask the old woman if you have time." ”

On the other side:

"Cousin, your behavior today is very abnormal, I remember that you are not close to women. ”

"Although the others don't know what's going on, that Lena and Ai Xue should be the two geniuses among the first-year freshmen in the Department of Magic, and the silver-haired one is probably Ai Xue's soul guard. Aunt Rhein told me before. ”

"Summoner, isn't it, it's only a first year!" Carl looked surprised.

"Even though we're skipping students, the Ministry of Magic doesn't have a skipping system, otherwise they'd be just like us. Such people must be recruited by the kingdom. ”

"I see what you mean, and I'll pay attention to it later. ”

"Well, let's think about the game first. Ahlers patted Karl on the shoulder.

"What's there to worry about, last year's strongest freshmen are now in the third grade, and there are only those two people who have a fight with us. ”

"It's because of those two people that I'm worried, don't be reckless. ”

The students are preparing for the second year freshman competition......
