Walking into a magic weapon shop with an old-looking plaque on the door, the glass on the door of the shop was covered with spider web-like cracks, and the paint on the door frame and window wood had dried and cracked, exposing the oak wood inside.
When I opened the door and walked in, there was not a single customer in the store. The space in the weapons store was very narrow and crowded with shelves. Even the ceiling above my head had some weird chains hanging from it.
There are a dazzling array of old-style weapons on the shelves. The shelves are basically filled with common weapons such as swords and longbows.
There are two rows of old-style daggers on the counter, and some strange-looking weapons such as flails, double-edged axes, and giant square-headed hammers are hung on the wall. These weapons are all old goods, and there are no
One is a real magic weapon, at best it is inlaid with some cheap rubies and sapphires on the hilt or scabbard.
A young Epperson girl stood behind the counter, lowering her head and polishing the handle of a silver dagger with a file. There were stains hidden in the silver engraved pattern of this dagger. This kind of second-hand weapons store is basically
The basic idea is to buy high-quality old weapons, conduct preliminary renovations, and sell them to some collectors or adventurers who cannot afford new magical weapons.
Seeing someone walking in, the Epsom girl with braids on her head raised her head and glanced, showing a hint of contempt at first, and said to the big boy Mashenka: "We don't accept guides here, you go
Wait outside!"
Mashenka didn't say anything nonsense. She shrugged helplessly towards Surdak and tilted her head, indicating that she couldn't stay inside with him and waited at the door outside.
"My Lord Knight, what do you need?"
The girl's voice was cold, her eyes only stayed on Suldak for a second, then she lowered her head and continued to repair the dagger in her hand.
"Are you buying this thing here?"
Surdak untied a long bundle wrapped in linen from behind and placed it on the counter. After opening the package, four dark and shiny military spurs were revealed. The four spurs were still stained with blood.
With some long-dried blood stains, the weapon shop was instantly filled with a faint smell of blood.
These four military spurs were all seized from evil spirits. As for the saw-toothed axes, they were abandoned in the wilderness hills because they could not be carried. Except for the seven evil ghost heads, Surdak only brought out these few military spurs.
The Epperson girl then said: "The standard weapons of the Evil Ghost Legion are not available to adventurers. They are only of some collection value. After the victory in the Handanar County Tournament, there will inevitably be a large number of serrated axes and military spikes."
Entering Epsom City, even if these military spurs are purchased, there is no way to offer a high price!"
"Forget it!" After Suldak said that, he turned around and left very simply.
"Do you need any other magic weapons..." The girl's voice came from behind.
Pushing open the weapons store, Surdak did not answer the girl's question and walked straight out of the magic weapon store. The big boy Mashenka waited obediently under the rain eaves outside. When he saw Surdak coming out, he immediately smiled and
Asked: "Did you buy the right weapon?"
"...Oh! No." Surdak said.
I wanted to explain that I wanted to sell four weapons, but the girl in the store didn't like those military spikes, so I didn't sell them. But then I thought about it and just gave a simple answer.
"It doesn't matter. There are at least two dozen magic weapon shops like this on this street. You can definitely find it." Mashenka said with relief like Surdak.
Surdak looked back at the dilapidated and shattered door of the magic weapon shop behind him, and thought: No wonder this weapon shop looks so depressed. This kind of business method will not be liked by customers, at least himself.
Next time you come to Epsom City, you will definitely not want to patronize this magic weapon shop again.
In addition to some magic weapons and armor shops, this street also has magic potion shops, magic grocery stores, jewelry shops, and magic metal materials and Warcraft leather shops. These are all high-end shops in Epsom City. Although the shops
The shop's facade is not very big, but when these shopkeepers see the big boy Mashenka, they will drive him out as soon as possible. Moreover, Mashenka does not have any dissatisfaction, and turns around and leaves, never staying in the shop.
Surdak couldn't understand, so he asked Mashenka: "Mashenka, why do those shopkeepers always kick you out?"
"They think I might be a thief and steal things from the store when they are not paying attention." Mashenka said with some embarrassment.
"You are not a thief, why don't you argue with them?" Suldak felt that the big boy Mashenka should at least explain to the clerk.
But the big boy shook his head and said helplessly: "It's useless, no one will listen to my explanation."
Mashenka then added: "And... I don't want to buy anything from them, and there is no need to stay in the store. In fact, it's actually quite good to stand in the doorway and bask in the sun."
The two casually visited a few shops. The clerks in these shops were not enthusiastic about Suldak, but they were not indifferent either. Surdak gradually got used to the attitude of the clerks and felt that Epsom City
Store clerks probably all have this bad behavior.
There is a large-looking grocery store at the corner of the intersection ahead. Looking inside, you can see that the store has almost everything, from some simple magic weapons and magic materials to some finished magic scrolls and
Magic Rune Board, this shop is located in the northeast corner of the intersection, occupying an entire three-story building and looks very luxurious.
Standing at the door of the store were two female clerks who looked pretty good and were whispering. One of the female clerks looked quite experienced. She covered her mouth and snickered while talking non-stop. The other was young and beautiful.
The female clerk's face was slightly green, and she didn't know what the two of them were talking about. The young female clerk's cheeks were flushed.
When Surdak and Mashenka passed by this shop, Mashenka deliberately walked on the other side of Suldak, as if he was avoiding something.
The two female clerks standing at the door of the store had sharp eyes. When they saw Mashenka, they were obviously startled. Then the female clerk who was talking about some interesting things suddenly stood up and walked over quickly, leaving Mashenka alone.
No matter how hard I tried to dodge, I couldn't escape the female clerk, and her ears were pinched.
"Ouch! Ouch! Sister Kaka, let go, hey, please, gently, my ears are about to fall off..."
Mashenka's screams were exaggerated. He tried to break free from the girl's hand, but was pinned down by the girl and couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
As I got closer, I realized that the girl was half a head taller than Mashenka, and she was pressing on Mashenka unceremoniously, her actions seemed so natural.
"Mashenka, why did you come here?" the girl clerk asked Mashenka.
Mashenka begged in a low voice: "Sister Kaka, let go quickly. Someone asked me to be a guide today. I will take him to stroll around the magic items shopping street."
"Uh, you're at work... why didn't you tell me earlier?" The girl clerk noticed Suldak and saw that he was dressed in a knight's attire with an identity plate hanging on his chest. She immediately looked at Mashen with some embarrassment.
Ka helped him up.
"...Sister Kaka!" Mashenka complained, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Then the four people stood chatting at the door of the magic shop. At this time, there was no one in front of the shop. Mashenka formally introduced the two beautiful female clerks to Suldak and said: "This is my neighbor Miss Kakaidos."
, that is my sister Zora."
It turns out that the girl standing at the door of the store, doing nothing and looking a little shy, is Mashenka's biological sister.
The girl named Zora glanced at Mashenka with concern. Before she could speak, a figure quickly emerged from the magic shop, stood behind Kaka and Zora, and shouted at the two female clerks with a sullen face.
road:
"Hey! Kaka, Zora, what are you doing, chatting during working hours? Do you still want your wages?"
Kaka and Zora were also startled, but Kaka's ability to adapt to changes was quite good. He immediately stood next to Suldak and said cautiously to the man with a hooked nose: "Um, store manager...we
No chat, this is a customer brought by my brother, who is going to buy some magic items in the shopping mall... um! Probably weapons and armor, so I was just thinking of inviting them into the store to have a look, but there are no current customers anyway.
Too much, maybe this Lord Knight will like something!"
She stood next to Surdak and gave Surdak a look that was almost pleading.
At this time, the store manager with a gloomy face was staring at Mashenka with a vicious look and said to him: "Are you Zora's bastard brother? Street gangsters like you had better stay away from my store.
…”
When Kaka heard that the knight in front of him was a customer in the magic grocery store, his gloomy eyes like an eagle instantly squeezed out a stiff smile. He bent his tall, thin and slightly stooped body, but raised his vulture humbly.
The same face said respectfully to Surdak:
"My Lord Knight, you may not know that we are famous for having many thieves here. You must be careful with your money bag."
"If this is your first time coming to Epsom City, you should take a good look around our magic shopping street. This street is one of the biggest features of our Epsom City."
"Kaka, Zora, why are you still standing there? Quickly invite the guests to come into the shop and rest for a while, then go and pour a cup of black tea for this Lord Knight."
Seeing Kaka and Zora running into the shop in a panic at this time to pour tea, the store manager still muttered behind:
"Girls who come out of the slums really don't have any eyesight at all."
There was an expression of disgust in his eyes, like looking at a group of pigs in a pigsty. Surdak remained silent the whole time. When he walked into the magic grocery store, at least half of the items in the store were from Surdak.
I have seen a counter filled with all kinds of metal ingots, ores, etc. I only know the lowest magic red copper. In front of the gem counter, there are also a dazzling array of gems. There is a large wooden box in front of the counter. In the box
It was actually filled with first-level magic cores, and those magic cores were piled up like a hill in the box.
There was only one counter in front of it that looked very empty. There was almost nothing on the counter, and there were only a few bottles of unnamed magic potions on the shelves behind the counter.
This magic grocery store is like other magic stores. Magic herbs are scarce and magic potions are almost sold out.
On the contrary, the counters of magic scrolls and magic rune boards are the most crowded. Those basic water-gathering and fire-gathering magic scrolls are the most commonly used items by travelers. The scrolls are very cheap, and the price is almost completely transparent.
Surdak felt that it was necessary to buy two such scrolls, but he was unable to carry them with him. It was said that the magic scroll of fire gathering was very unsafe. This kind of scroll could ignite flames as long as it was unfolded.
The store manager eagerly introduced the products in the grocery store while saying: "My Lord Knight, what do you want to buy? As for magic weapons, we have the Vertebral Sword, the Mystical Sword, and the Knight's Epee. If
If you want to buy heavy armor, we have bone armor, bronze armor... Even if you want to buy magic pattern structure, we can also provide purchase channels."
The Sword of Vertebrae belongs to the Western rapier type of light sword.
The secret sword is covered with magic runes and is a magic sword.
The knight's epee is not much different from the Roman sword modified by Surdak, except that the hilt is inlaid with gems and the blade has some useless patterns.
Surdak held the secret sword in his hand and felt a burning sensation on the secret sword. When fighting the enemy, the wounds caused would have burns. However, the material of this sword was very poor, so when Surdak
In his eyes, this sword was also useless.
Seeing that there was really nothing to buy, Surdak took out four Demon Swords and told the store manager that he wanted to sell the swords.
The smile on the store manager's face froze, like an ice sculpture, and he asked Suldak with infinite disappointment:
"Um, you just want to sell the four demon swords, don't you plan to buy the magic sword?"
Surdak shook his head honestly, and was about to say, 'The quality of your magic swords is very average, otherwise I will buy two magic scrolls!'
Before the words came out of his mouth, the store manager passed by Suldak, took the cup of black tea from Zora's hand, took a sip, tilted his chin, squinted his eyes, and stared at it from the corner of his eye.
Surdak showed a look of disdain and said:
"This cup of black tea is really good, let me tell you! Looking at you wearing an ordinary leather armor, how can you afford a magic sword, haha!"
Suldak was stunned on the spot. He thought to himself that this man changed his attitude so quickly that he didn't even have time to say what he wanted to buy. He couldn't figure out how on earth this guy became the store manager.
Surdak didn't want to be acquainted with such people, so he wanted to leave this magic grocery store.
When the store manager saw that Surdak seemed to have no temper, his arrogance suddenly rose, and he said to Kaka and Zora beside him:
"It's okay for some people to be poor, but if you live in poverty for too long, you will easily get a disease called poverty disease. This disease will also be transmitted to the people around you. If you are with Zora's bastard brother, you will naturally not
He is some kind of rich big shot. I was a little too naive in my thinking. We don’t accept weapons of this caliber like the Evil Ghost Army Spur. In the future, when you see this kind of customer, just refuse them on the spot. You don’t need to come to me...
…”
"You two, don't stay in the room. If today's sales performance cannot be completed, it is impossible to pay you your salary in full. While you are standing at the door, be smart and let me see what's going on in private."
Chatting, just get out of here. I didn’t hire you to be a flower vase. You haven’t learned how to solicit business after so long. People can still learn if they don’t understand, but if they are stupid, no one can help...
…”
"..."
For a moment, Surdak was speechless. If this guy picks up a heavy shield on the battlefield, he can become a "main tank" in the battle team.
Kaka and Zora felt even more aggrieved. They were scolded for no reason, and they completely offended their brother's customers. The two Epsom girls were so aggrieved that they almost cried. They looked at the waiting outside the shop.
My younger brother didn’t know how to explain it for a while.
Walking in front of the pile of first-level magic cores, Surdak suddenly stopped and turned to Zora who was following behind him and asked:
"What's this?"
Zora never thought that Knight Surdak would actually talk to her, so she said reflexively: "This is a gambling magic crystal."
Her voice is softer than Mashenka's, but the nuances of her tone and tone are exactly the same.
Surdak stopped in front of the wooden box and grabbed two first-level magic cores in his hand, looking very interested.
Kaka, another Epsom girl, came over quietly and whispered quickly in Suldak's ear:
"What is placed on this tray are the magic cores of first-level monsters. Some of these magic cores will contain magic crystals, and some will contain magic crystal fragments, but not everyone has them. Let me tell you...
The chance of finding a magic crystal is very low. Sister, I have been working here for three months and I have never seen anyone cut out a magic core with magic crystal. This is a lie."
The store manager came over very alertly and asked, "What is Kaka mumbling about here?"
Suldak turned around and asked: "Store manager, does your store still have magic crystal gambling business?"
The store manager raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed a hint of joy, and asked with a smile: "Um, Lord Knight, do you want to buy some magic core gambling magic crystals?"
There is no more gossip like before.
Surdak casually picked at these magic cores, turned out some of the magic cores in the box, and said casually: "That's right, but I think these in the tray are leftovers picked by others, and that's all.
It’s not interesting to pick it up. Do you have any other first-level Warcraft cores?”
"There are several boxes of these magic cores piled up in the warehouse. How many are you going to buy? Don't you like all the magic cores in the pallet? If you only want to buy a few, I think you should just pick and choose." The store manager muttered.
With his eyes closed, Suldak didn't look like a gambler. He was worried about being tricked, so he said.
"This...this...this...and this..."
Knight Surdak narrowed his eyes, and the eighteen nodes in his body exuded a faint sacred power. A trace of golden light came out from the palm of his hand. Among the pile of magic cores in front of him, a few of them came out.
Surdak casually picked out the faint magical auras one after another. After a while, more than twenty first-level magic cores were placed in front of him. Anyone with a hint of magical aura was picked out by Suldak...
When the store manager saw that Surdak picked out so many first-level magic cores at one go, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately urged the male clerk in the store to move all the boxes of first-level magic cores in the warehouse.
come out.
Kaka and Zora, who were standing behind Surdak, were a little dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know how to persuade him to stop...
Surdak spent more than an hour selecting. The store manager came over more than once and asked Surdak seriously: "My Lord Knight, are you sure you want to buy all the magic cores you have selected?"
'
Later, Surdak became impatient when asked by the store manager, so for every two magic cores he picked out, he threw a gold coin to the store manager.
It was almost noon when Surdak stopped selecting magic cores. There was also a whole tray of magic cores placed in front of him, and all of them had been paid for by Surdak.
Kaka and Zora, who were standing behind Suldak, were both a little stupid. Who would have thought that this knight who looked poorly dressed would actually take out ten magic crystals and seven gold coins in one breath.
They bought 24 first-level magic cores. In their opinion, this was simply a huge gamble. Even if they were sold, it wouldn't be worth the money.
At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street. When some people saw this scene, they inevitably came up to watch.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Surdak quickly put the magic cores he bought into his pockets, and then walked out of the magic grocery store with Kaka and Zora, who had lost their ability to think.
In fact, Kaka and Zora didn't know why they followed the Lord Knight out, and they left the magic grocery store without even saying hello.
No matter how much the store manager shouted from behind, Kaka and Zora walked on the crowded street without looking back...
