Following a secret passage behind the liquor cabinet, the lame man carefully avoided making any sound, bypassing the large piles of rum cans and soju cans, and climbed over two large boxes filled with smuggled tobacco and sugar.
At the end of the corridor is a stone wall.
In the dark corridor, there was only a ray of light shining from the stone wall. The lame man lay on the stone wall, his eyes close to the ray of light and looking out - on the other side of the stone wall was a small, comfortably furnished room.
The candlelight from more than a dozen white candles made the small room brightly lit. A circle of large chairs covered with animal skins surrounded the entire room. Lin Qi was sitting on a large chair with a posture that made people want to punch him in the face.
With a weird smile, he took a big gulp of wine.
The cripple's pupils shrank to the size of a needle. He recognized the bronze wine bottle in Lin Qi's hand. It was one of the few bottles of rum left over a hundred years ago in the entire cripple's shop. Money can no longer measure the value of a century-old good wine.
The value lies more in the legend of the lame shop.
"This damn kid, how did he find this treasure?" Cripple was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he glanced at Lin Qi and saw Enzo, who was standing not far from Lin Qi like a sharp sword. Cripple
He couldn't help but grin and shook his head helplessly.
He reached out and pressed on the stone wall. The stone wall on one side opened silently, and the lame man walked out with a bright smile.
"Hey, hey, what good stuff did my cutest little friend bring me?" The lame man rubbed his hands vigorously. He deliberately did not look at Lin Qi who was sitting there drinking. His greedy eyes were only on Enzo's armpit.
The cloth was spinning on the roll. He knew Lin Qi's personality well, and there was not enough benefit. Don't even think about him coming to the lame shop. This is a young man who is young but smarter than any old guy on the road!
‘This kid has a bright future, his father really has an amazing child’, the lame man sighed in his heart.
Seeing the lame man walking in, Lin Qi shook the wine bottle vigorously and shook the last bit of the remaining liquid into his mouth. Exhaling the breath of alcohol comfortably, Lin Qi casually threw the bottle to the ground and let out a sound that made the lame man feel heartbroken.
With a loud sound and a satisfied burp, Lin Qi clapped her hands with a smile and shouted: "Dear lame uncle, every time I see you, I seem to see many golden oohs and silver oohs.
Chicha, will you give me a satisfactory price?"
The lame man stared at the bronze wine bottle rolling on the ground, and slowly took out a gold coin and a silver coin from his belt.
The gold coins currently used by the Seventh Empire show the face of Saint Louis XIII on the front and a rooster on the back. Everyone who is connected with the coin tacitly calls the gold coin 'croaking'.
As for the latest silver coin minted by the empire, the back shows a skylark with its wings spread high, so it also has the nickname "Chirp".
With a disapproving attitude, he threw the gold and silver coins at the only small square table in the room. The lame man held his head high and laughed: "Uncle Lame Man, there are many cute little roosters and little larks here. As long as my dear children
If you can come up with something I’m interested in, the price won’t be a problem.”
Lin Qi burped, and Enzo silently stepped forward and placed the cloth roll under his arm heavily on the square table. The lame man quickly untied the cloth roll, and inside were six handles coated with anti-rust oil.
A stabbing sword. The hilt can be held in one palm. The sword is four feet long. The slender sword has uniform cloud and water patterns. It is obviously made of excellent steel. The tip of the sword shines with a dazzling blue color and is sharp.
The cold air blows in the face, making people afraid to face it.
"Oh, oh, what a wonderful little baby!" The lame man's eyes lit up. He jumped onto the square table with agility, and lightly brushed the six stabbing swords with his fingers, like a passionate prodigal caressing the body of a peerless beauty. He pointed
The tip trembled slightly, carefully tracing every cloud and water pattern on the sword. The steel was dense and tough, and it was indeed a first-class sword.
Grabbing a stabbing sword, the lame man shook his hand, and the candlelight in the room dimmed. There was a hissing sound in the air, like a poisonous snake biting people, and several cold lights that could not be distinguished by the naked eye tore through the air, stabbing at
On a standing armor in the corner of the room.
This set of armor is mainly made of thick cowhide, with palm-sized steel plates inlaid on key parts. Under the lame man's sword, the cowhide was torn apart like pieces of paper, and the finger-thick steel plates at the heart and armpits also emitted sharp sounds.
The moan was pierced by the tip of the sword.
The candlelight flickered again, and the lame man took back his rapier and looked at it carefully. There were only a few friction marks on the sword that were thinner than a hair, and the sword was basically undamaged. He couldn't help but marvel, this set was placed in the corner of the room.
The armor on display was standard armor that he spent a lot of money to get from the Imperial Army's baggage warehouse. It was an elegant battle armor that could only be worn by mid-level generals.
In front of this stabbing sword, the armor worn by this mid-level general was vulnerable, which shows the extent of the piercing power of this stabbing sword.
Seeing the result of the lame man's sword test, Lin Qi burst out laughing. He rubbed his hands together excitedly, with countless gold and silver coins flying in front of his eyes. He smiled at Enzo and said, "That's all I'm saying.
, let me tell you, the goods this time will definitely satisfy Uncle Cripple, right, Uncle Cripple? We got this from the warehouse of the Military Academy with great difficulty!"
The lame man snorted coldly. He carefully placed the rapier on the table, squinted at the six rapiers and remained silent.
Lin Qi raised his eyebrows and retracted both hands into his sleeves at the same time. Enzo silently put his hands on his waist. There was a hidden pocket there, which contained a rapier that was exactly the same as the one on the table.
Long sword. Enzo judged the distance between himself and the lame man. With one sword, he was 90% sure to pierce the lame man's throat.
The candlelight in the room trembled slightly, something moved in the room, and the swaying wind disturbed the candlelight.
The hairs on the back of the lame man's neck suddenly stood up, like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
After pondering for a while, the lame man sneered and shook his head: "Will there be such sophisticated weapons in the warehouse of the military academy? Hell, it can pierce a palm-thick homogeneous steel plate. This kind of stabbing sword is a treasure, and there are so many of them that it costs a lot of money.
People are waiting for them. But I want to hear the truth, where did you get them?"
Enzo's hand was firmly holding the hilt of the sword, and his stern and sharp eyes were locked on the lame man's throat.
Lin Qi crossed his legs nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Is their origin important? They won't stay in your hands anyway!"
The lame man frowned, thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and shook his head.
Pretending to be generous, he took out a greasy money bag from his arms. The lame man grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them on the square table.
Lin Qi's eyes suddenly turned golden, and he jumped forward with joy.
