Chapter 9: The Natal Talisman (II)
Guo Twelve understood the situation a little. He had to figure out the situation, because he still had a lot of hoarded flour in his hand, and if the supply line was opened, the flour in his hand would be worthless. Knowing that the supply line could not be opened for the time being, he was relieved. Just in case, he asked Aunt Lan to start selling in small amounts.
In addition, he also sent people to deliver flour to a few old people he knew. Among them were Hong Changfeng, Chen Chunzhai, Chang Yeren, and even Aunt Chen sent hundreds of catties of flour. Not long after he came to the inner gate, he didn't know many people, as long as he knew and took care of him, he sent flour. It's a rarity now, and for him, it's a good thing for a good price.
On this day, Guo Twelve came to Fu City with Luo Zhan.
When Guo Twelve arrived in Fu City, the first place must be the Book Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Grandpa An, what good books have come recently?"
An Zhengyan greeted him with a smile and said, "Hey, isn't this twelve, I heard that you still signed up to go to Ye Guancheng, when did you come back?" I have been worried about you...... Hehe. ”
Guo Twelve smiled and said: "That's the name that the master gave me, well, I've been back for a while, and I only have time to go out to shop today, what are the good books during this time?"
An Zhengyan said: "There is a set of good books, but they are runes, I guess you won't need them, they are very expensive...... I've got two sets here, and I want 3,200 talismans, hehe, you won't ask for it. ”
Guo Twelve had just made a fortune, and he didn't think how expensive the more than 3,000 talismans was, and said, "It's so expensive, what kind of book is it?" Maybe I need it, hehe, Grandpa An, I came with money. ”
An Zhengyan smiled and said: "Oh, have you made a fortune in twelve? I don't care about the more than 3,000 runes, okay, I'll get it." He hurried into the inner room. In the Book Pavilion, all the more precious runes and rare books are hidden in the inner room, and they are not easily displayed and can only be bought by customers who are familiar with the shopkeeper.
Guo Twelve followed in, and An Zhengyan didn't stop him, but said, "Why are you so anxious? Okay, you come with me." ”
An Zhengyan has a small storage room, which is specially used to store some rare books, which are reserved for regular customers. He took out a rune book and said, "This is a rune book compiled by Wang Zangming, a great charmer with the same name as your master, a set of six books, and the name of the book is ...... Natal talismans, well, you have to be an inner disciple to buy it, and you have to be an inner disciple of the talisman profession, do you want it? Hehe, it's a little early to read this book. ”
Possessing a natal talisman is the sign of a charmer, and only by condensing one's own natal talisman can one truly advance to a charmer. Guo Twelve is an apprentice of charms, just like a primary school student wants to buy college textbooks, which is a bit incredible.
But Guo Twelve wants it very much, for him, no matter what book is very important, even if he doesn't understand it now, it doesn't mean that he won't understand it in the future, and this book may not be able to be bought in the future. This is the difference between Guo 12 and the locals, he likes to plan ahead, plan in advance, and then not be in a hurry.
Guo Twelve took out a talisman bag, poured out a bunch of black talisman money, and said with a smile: "I have made a small amount of money recently, hehe, enough to buy this set of books." By the way, this one is for you. He took out another bag of talismans, took out two bags of flour, and said, "This is what I got from my master, two hundred catties of flour." ”
An Zhengyan was surprised: "For me?"
Guo Twelve smiled: "Yes, I can't buy flour recently, I just got a little from the master, and Grandpa An has always taken good care of me, so I sent it." ”
An Zhengyan had the heart to refuse, but the flour had already been cut off at home. In addition to eating meat, people here are also indispensable for noodles. He thought for a moment, took out a rune book, and said, "Okay, okay, I can't refuse this gift, well, this is my collection of runes, give it to you." ”
Guo Twelve didn't expect An Zhengyan to send the book, which was a temptation he couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, then thank you Grandpa An." Holding the talisman book, he felt itchy in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa An, what kind of book is this?"
An Zhengyan was amused by him and said, "I rarely see an apprentice who is as bookish as you, don't worry, grandpa gives you good books." This is a set of talisman books that I got when I was doing a task a long time ago, and you will definitely use it in the future, the name of the book is ...... The Talisman is a record of how to use the talisman, and there are several very old ways to make the talisman. ”
Guo Twelve was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Great, thank you Grandpa An." ”
An Zhengyan said: "There are a lot of old books outside, you go to look for them, maybe there are books you like." ”
Guo 12 returned to the bookcase full of old books and began to search for books. This is his favorite, in his previous life he liked to visit second-hand book stalls, and in this life he has carried it forward. In his previous life, he had computers, the Internet, and all kinds of media, but in this life there are only books, so reading books is his only pastime.
He has no taboos about reading books, and his tastes are extremely mixed, and he reads almost everything. In addition to professional books, he prefers travelogues, notes, adventure notes, legends, anecdotes, etc., all of which he likes.
Among the piles of books he found today, he found a good one. It was a geography book about the Far North Wasteland, and it contained a large number of maps, although the maps were rough but well documented, with maps of the distribution of plants and wild beasts, and areas where wild people often moved. It's a pity that there is only the next volume, and an upper volume is missing.
After paying the money and putting the old books into the talisman bag, Guo Twelve walked out of the library. Today there is another task to buy some materials for the Talisman. Fu City has a special material trading area, and he took Luo Zhan and walked there slowly.
The material trading area of Fu City is very lively. This is mainly a place where runes and smans are active, and sorcerers and rune warriors generally do not come here, unless they follow the head of the house.
The trading area is divided into two layers, the first floor is the platform, most of which are sporadic hawkers, and the inner floor is the shop, which is opened by the inner door, and there are also large merchants who come in to open it, and there are dozens of shops that sell and purchase materials.
Guo Twelve had been to this place many times, and he had entered a shop with a familiar approach. This is a store opened by a large foreign merchant at the inner door, and the shopkeeper is an ordinary middle-aged man named Wan Datou. This person is known as the eye of the gods, and he only needs to look at any material to know what the material is, where it is made, and what the quality is, so he is very famous in Fu City.
"Lao Wan!
Guo Twelve shouted when he entered the door. Wan Datou came out of it with a smile and said, "Isn't this twelve, why do you have time to come to our small store today?"
"I miss you......"
Guo Twelve teased.
Wan Datou is characterized by a big head, and it is also half bald, with a thin body, like a chopstick with a rice ball on it, giving people a very uncoordinated feeling. He had large, dark hands covered in speckled scars, and his palms were covered with thick calluses. Although he looks ugly, he feels comfortable laughing.
"Hey, it's rare that Twelve still remembers my big head, what materials are you going to buy this time?"
Guo Twelve took out a piece of paper, handed it to Wan Datou, and said, "It's all on it, all of them are basic materials." ”
Wan Datou glanced at it and said, "Twelve, you've made a fortune, it's such a big amount, at least seven or eight thousand talismans." ”
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the master has a lot of money recently, so he has a lot of luxury." ”
Wan Datou said happily: "Okay, I'll let the guy get it for you, what else do you need?"
Guo Twelve pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, one guest doesn't bother the two masters, and this list is also for you." ”
Wan Datou took the second list, looked at it carefully, looked at it with a strange look, and said, "Isn't it...... You can actually make a talisman? These are all materials for making talismans!"
Guo Twelve said: "I'm just collecting materials, and as for the production, I don't know when it will be." "Actually, he wants to try his hand, even if he fails, it doesn't matter, accumulate some experience, that's the most important thing.
Wan Datou said: "The materials for making the treasure rune are expensive, well, I estimate that it will take about 40,000 talisman money to collect the materials on this list, twelve, are you really willing to spend so much money?"
Guo Twelve brought 100,000 talisman money today, so he was very generous and said, "Buy!" He felt very happy, and it was really a pleasant thing to have a lot of money.
Wan Datou knew that Guo Twelve was a disciple of the Great Charm Master, and he was very envious, he thought that Guo Twelve's money was given by the master.
The materials were packed and carried out, and due to the large quantity, the talisman bag could not be filled. Wan Datou told the guy to call a carriage, intending to let the guy deliver the goods directly to the door.
The materials on the first list can make a thousand one-time attack talismans, and the materials on the second list are used to make treasure runes, which can make about ten treasure runes, and as for how many can be successful, God knows. Guo Twelve didn't care about this, he now had money to toss.
A young man wearing a talisman on his chest with a talisman of the apprentice of a talisman walked into the shop and said, "Big head, I want to buy a batch of materials, this is the list." ”
Wan Datou took the list of materials, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he glanced at Guo Twelve, and muttered in his heart: "Why do you want these materials, it's troublesome." He laughed and said, "Young Master Qian, I'm sorry, the small shop just happened to be out of stock." ”
Young Master Qian looked displeased and said, "! I also sent someone to ask yesterday, there is a full set of materials here." ”
Wan Datou said with a bitter face: "It's true that it's gone, and it was just sold today." ”
Young Master Qian's face was ugly, and he said, "Big head, what do you mean? I only need two sets of materials, do you dare to say no?"
Guo Twelve stood beside Wan Datou, and saw the list at a glance, he couldn't help but laugh, this guy turned out to be the same as the list he opened, the only difference was that he asked for ten sets of materials, and he asked for two sets of materials. Because this is the simplest talisman crafting material, it is specially used for rune apprentices and spell apprentices to advance, as long as they can make treasure runes, they can be advanced to runes and spell masters.
Wan Datou broke out in a cold sweat, and he said: "There were originally ten sets of materials, but they were just sold, but they are indeed gone." Young Master Qian, if I have the goods, there is no need to hide them, I wish I could sell them as soon as possible. ”
Young Master Qian asked, "Who did you sell it to?"
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you sold it to me." ”
