Rizhao is most famous for the various ores excavated from the Thunder Mountains. Therefore, a large number of craftsmen are attracted here either actively or passively.
Sherlock rushed to Rizhao this time to find someone to help process the Dragon Lich's dragon crystal.
As the dragon's energy core, dragon crystal's value is inestimable. Even if it is a dragon crystal from a dracolich, it would still be too wasteful to make it into an ordinary and outstanding piece of equipment.
Rizhao is not far from Baitan, and is on the edge of the Thunder Mountains. It only takes less than half a day to get there by riding a night horse.
When Sherlock landed at the gate of the town, the ear-splitting roar and the chaotic sound of forging could be heard all at once.
Looking around, the entire town is surrounded by a thick gray-yellow fog. In modern language, it can be explained that this is industrial waste gas formed by a combination of sulfur dioxide, smoke and unorganized dust emissions.
Thanks to the inaction of the town rulers, Rizhao was awarded the title of the town with the worst environment. It is also the largest smuggling base in the valley. Many materials and equipment that are prohibited for sale to the outside world can be obtained here, provided that you have enough connections.
Since Sherlock dared to come here, he certainly wasn't unprepared. Following the address on the map, he followed the address and came to an inconspicuous workshop.
The owners of the workshop are three halflings, the Mishak brothers. They are engaged in processing business on the surface, but secretly they are the top three individual smugglers in Rizhao.
Their scale is not very large, and they rarely conduct bulk transactions, but they accept and sell everything, and the most important thing is that the prices are very reasonable.
The reason why we come here is because the three Misak brothers are really good at craftsmanship. They are used to seeing good things. Their levels in basic skills such as mysterious knowledge, natural knowledge, and historical knowledge are quite high. They are also specialized in magic items.
and rare items and props are the best choices for processing dragon crystal.
I heard from friends that this shop is quite busy, especially at night, and sometimes the queues last for several hours. However, as soon as Sherlock entered the shop, he saw that there were only a few scattered people in the entire workshop except for three halflings.
There were only a few scattered customers, not even a working apprentice.
After looking at it with confusion for more than ten minutes, a halfling came over.
"Half-elf, I'm Mishak, I wonder what you need." The halfling said while handing over a glass of butterbeer.
The three Mishak brothers are triplets, they look exactly the same, and they all call themselves Mishak to the outside world.
"I want to ask if you can handle this thing." Sherlock took the beer but did not drink it. A gray crystal fell out of the ring with a shake of his hand.
He could feel that Misak was obviously excited when he saw the dragon crystal, but he immediately restrained himself.
"Dragon Lich's dragon crystal is indeed a very rare thing. If you want to take it, I can offer you 50,000 gold coins." Misak said calmly.
Sherlock did not expose the other party's little trick and stated clearly: "No, no, no, Mr. Misak, you misunderstood. What I want to ask is whether you can help me inspire the true power of this dragon crystal.
"
"It's just the dragon crystal of the Dracolich. The dragon power inside has been lost long ago. The remaining bit is still contaminated with the aura of the undead. How can there be any real power? You should have asked about it. For 50,000 gold coins, you can
It’s not a disadvantage.”
"Forget it, I don't need the 50,000 gold coins, so let's go find Hattie to make a scimitar." Sherlock said and pretended to leave.
Hati is the most famous dwarf blacksmith in Rizhao.
He has been playing the game for so many years, and he has never used the trading routine before and has seen it countless times. Now that he has seen that the other party wants this dragon crystal, he still knows how to use it.
Logically speaking, the three Misak brothers have built such a big business in Rizhao, so they would not lower their profile just for this dragon crystal. However, considering the current situation in Rizhao, nothing is more important than this Dragon Lich dragon crystal.
A precious thing.
"Adventurer, don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, please speak it up."
Under the dissuasion of the three halflings, Sherlock stopped. He was actually curious about why the other party wanted this dragon crystal, because it was indeed of little use.
"Adventurer, we can tell you the function of this dragon crystal, but you must sell it to us afterwards for double the price, or you can choose something of the same value from our collection. Trust us
, you won’t regret it.”
This condition actually has a logical problem. The dragon crystal has been sold to you, so what is the use of knowing the function of the dragon crystal.
However, Sherlock's original purpose was to maximize the use of this dragon crystal. The value of 100,000 yuan was far beyond his psychological estimation. If it were anyone else, without knowing the related functions of this dragon crystal, he would not be able to use it.
Will give you a higher price.
"Then I need to take a look at your collection first before deciding whether to sell or exchange."
"No problem!" The three Misaks said in unison, then they turned on the lights and took Sherlock to the basement.
"Adventurer, I wonder if you have heard of the war between Sesiren Valley and Bow Valley."
"I've heard a little bit about it."
"That's good. Rumor has it that thousands of residents in Sesiren Valley were massacred by Bow Valley soldiers."
"Their souls after death were transformed into ghosts by the Twilight Lord using an evil sorcery."
"In the end, General Akon beheaded the Twilight Lord and used the opponent's Sword of Twilight to suppress the countless ghosts."
The three halflings were obviously not satisfied with simple narration. In addition to emotional words, they also provided physical performances for Sherlock, but the only audience did not seem to buy their account.
"Adventurer, are you listening?"
"Twilight Sword, right? You continue talking, am I listening?" Sherlock replied absently.
The three Mishak brothers have been operating in Rizhao for so many years. Of course, there is no shortage of good things, including materials, equipment, magic props, rare objects, and even pet eggs.
Facing this entire warehouse of treasures, he really had no intention of listening to these boring histories, so he could only spend 50 gold coins to turn on the recording mode in case of emergency.
"Nearly 100 years have passed since the destruction of Sesiren Valley. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the Sword of Dusk, which was heavily guarded by soldiers, was suddenly stolen."
"Then all the outstanding figures in Rizhao began to die one after another." A halfling said and actually fell to the ground and acted out the appearance of the victims.
"There are rumors that this is the ghost of the Twilight Lord. He wants to kill all the descendants of the soldiers who attacked Saisiren Valley a century ago when his centenary festival comes."
"So for our personal safety, we need to make some protective preparations."
"Aren't you halflings? You should not be the descendants of those soldiers." Sherlock played with a scabbard and said thoughtfully...
