In front of the gate of Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy.
Suldak looked at the relief on the stone wall at the gate. This relief was not there last time he came.
It was a group of Bena swordsmen fighting bravely to kill a group of evil ghosts on the battlefield. A dozen masons tied ropes from the top of the wall and hung them in mid-air. They were using their chisels and hammers to stick to the stone wall to add to this war relief.
With some modifications and patterns, it looks like it will be finished soon.
“So this is the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy!” Andrew said to himself as he looked into the academy along the iron railings of the courtyard wall.
This Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy has a history of at least two hundred years, and even longer. Countless powerful Bena swordsmen emerged in that era, so this Advanced Swordsman Academy has become the center of countless young swordsmen.
The most desired holy place in my heart.
The vacation has just ended, and a group of young swordsman students returned to the academy one after another. They carried their luggage and rushed back to the academy. Each one of them carried a long or short, large or small sword. Everyone in the academy was carrying a sword.
The lawn has sprouted a new green, and further inside you can see the swordsmen's practice ground. Some swordsmen holding wooden swords are competing on the practice ground, which makes the whole academy glow with new vitality.
Suldak stood at the gate of the academy. He asked the guards at the gate about Hathaway and Beatrice. The guards did not know these two female swordsmen, but this did not mean that they could not inquire.
Just by casually asking some of the swordsman students passing by the academy gate, the guards at the academy gate quickly found out about Hathaway and Beatrice.
They were graduates of the academy last year. They had successfully completed the academy's graduation exam before winter last year. Both Hathaway and Beatrice had graduated from the academy.
Only then did Suldak think that last year's trip to the Warsaw plane was a graduation training trip for the graduates of the Swordsman Academy. However, these graduates were not very lucky. In the Handanar County of the Warsaw plane
His performance was not very good, and he finally returned to the Swordsman Academy in despair, and took the graduation exam again, and then received the final graduation certificate from the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy.
At this time, Suldak remembered that he had not received his graduation certificate from the Knight Academy yet, but this did not seem to affect his promotion to a first-class knight.
Suldak and his party of four walked around the swordsman academy, but failed to find a chance to walk around the academy, so they left with regrets on their faces.
Walking on the streets of Bena City, Aphrodite, covered with a black veil, is more eye-catching than Samira, who hides her face in a gray cloth hood. Even though her graceful figure is completely hidden under the black blouse,
, and more sexy than the half-elf wearing salamander leather armor. No one took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Both Andrew and Surdak were wearing metal armor, and the full-coverage armor on Andrew was standard armor.
During a war, no one wants to have unnecessary conflicts with soldiers in the army in the city, because at this time, many soldiers often have some war privileges.
…
On a commercial street in Bena City, the four people from Suldak walked around the street with the flow of people, and then walked into a trading house called "Char".
In addition to selling some magic weapons and armors, this trading house also has the words 'Acquisition of high-quality magic weapons' on the plaque outside. Moreover, the trading hall on the first floor of the trading house is also very lively. Many knights are crowded in the hall to choose.
Buy some magic weapons.
Suldak wore magic-patterned armor and was extremely eye-catching among the crowd.
Seeing Surdak walking into the trading house, a clerk from the trading firm immediately came forward and asked Surdak: "What do the guests need? Our Shire Trading Company mainly deals in magic weapons and armor, and most of them are in the lobby on the first floor.
Excellent quality weapons and armor, and there are also some exquisite high-quality weapons and armor upstairs.”
Suldak glanced at the clever merchant clerk, and he hesitated before saying, "I want to sell two magic weapons!"
The merchant's clerk led Suldak into the merchant's office and said to the group: "Wait a moment." Then he turned and walked back to the noisy crowd in the hall.
In fact, I didn’t wait long before I saw a business manager who was obviously more elegantly dressed walking out of the crowd and asked Suldak, ‘Do you want to sell magic weapons?’
Suldak nodded.
"Please follow me. Before we purchase your magic weapons, we need to appraise your magic weapons. They must be sophisticated magic weapons. Only then will the trading house be willing to purchase them at a price that is 20% lower than the market price.
"The store manager said as he led the four people to the second floor.
Several people came to a somewhat deserted-looking room on the second floor.
The room was separated by an iron fence. Three not-so-large windows were opened on the iron fence. Inside the windows was a long counter. Behind the counter sat three magicians in magic robes. Several Green Empire people were waiting.
outside the window.
The business manager brought Suldak and his party in and asked them to sit in the rest area at the door of the room and wait for a while.
At this time, I heard a magician inside the iron fence hand a broad-edged sword with a simple pattern on the outside and many rubies and sapphires inlaid on the scabbard out of the window, and said expressionlessly: "Sorry, you
Although this broadsword is inlaid with some precious gems, it is not a magic weapon, so the firm cannot give any price, and it does not accept such jewelry-oriented swords."
The young nobleman waiting outside the iron fence was obviously unwilling to accept the magician's appraisal results. He carefully held the sword in his arms and said to the magician: "This...isn't this a magic weapon? It's still there at night."
It can emit colorful magical light, and it is really sharp..."
The magician inside the iron fence smiled softly and said to the young noble: "Maybe it's the gems inlaid on the scabbard of this sword that gave you the illusion."
The young noble still wanted to argue, but the magician smiled at him and nodded, and said: "Okay, next one!"
Seeing the magician say this, the young noble could only leave in anger with his sword in his arms.
“Perhaps you can try the jewelry store across the street. We only buy magic weapons above the exquisite level...” The store manager walked up and said to the disappointed young noble.
The young nobleman did not want to talk to the business manager and walked out of the room.
An old woman with a faint smell of leather walked from the waiting area to the iron fence and took out a horn-shaped dagger from the cloth bag. The dagger looked very old, and the copper handle was polished as smooth as a mirror.
, Surdak saw a magic crystal fragment as big as a small fingernail from the dagger's forehead protector.
The magician inside the iron fence took the dagger, glanced at it casually, touched the edge of the dagger with his hand, shook his head slightly, and said to the old woman:
"This dagger of yours is too badly worn. The edge has been polished by the whetstone until there is not much left. However, the magic pattern array on the dagger is still well preserved. This dagger is called 'Seagull' and belongs to a group of daggers."
It is an excellent quality skinning knife. The dagger is equipped with the water magic 'Cleaning Technique', which can always keep the dagger clean and tidy. This kind of dagger is the most common in the market. Many enchanters will probably choose to make it when they are starting training.
"Seagull' dagger to improve your proficiency in enchanting weapons, so even a brand new 'Seagull' dagger is probably not worth much. The trading company does not purchase magic weapons below the exquisite level, sorry!"
The old woman looked a little embarrassed and sighed, wrapping the dagger again.
“Okay!” After saying that, he left the appraisal office of the trading company without saying a word.
With his thin back, he walked a little staggeringly.
Finally it was Surdak's turn. He walked over and sat on a chair, then took out the two rusty short-handled muskets from his magic belt bag, placed them in front of the counter and pushed them in.
The magician inside the fence picked up a handful and placed it on the flannel in front of him. After looking at it for a few times, he took out a magnifying glass with a crystal lens from the box on the side, and used a steel needle to scrape off the patina on the pattern.
A small piece, and then he stopped.
He stretched his neck, glanced at the other magician beside him, and pushed the short-handled musket over.
“Look at this for me!” said the magician.
The magician companion took the short-handled musket and also fumbled with the pattern on the gun. He looked more professional and rubbed off more patina with a brush, and then found the rusted safety from the side.
The wrench, after a few gentle movements, actually opened the safety, and pulled off the firing pin at the end of the musket, revealing the firing device pushed by the firing pin. The magician had a slightly long mouth, as if he had seen someone holding the gun in a nightclub.
The eyes of the stripper dancing on the pole were almost attached to the firing device of the short-handled musket.
“Nion, what do you think?” the magician from before asked.
The magician who removed the firing pin from behind nodded eagerly and said: "It should be a technological product of that era. Magic and technology are perfectly combined. The excitation device should also be repairable..."
The previous magician exhaled slightly, then took the disassembled short-handled musket, reinstalled the firing pin at the back, and then placed it in front of Suldak. He paused briefly, and then
He said: "These two antiques are like works from the Hex era. It is really rare that they can be so well preserved. I don't know if you want the firm to appraise and make a valuation on your behalf, or if you want to sell these two magic pattern weapons."
Then fired a pistol?"
“For sale!” Surdak said without hesitation.
Just because this is Bena City, it may be possible to sell this kind of antique musket that is almost rusty.
He did not want to take these two short-handled muskets back to Helensa. The magic trading company there would not take the risk of acquiring such things.
The magician inside the iron fence said:
"Oh, in this case we can refer to the several auctions in Bena City last summer, which auctioned several flintlock short-handled muskets brought back from the dwarf country. Although those muskets are of a certain age, they are not
As these two muskets are so old, the bidding price at that time was about 70 gold coins. There is indeed no reference price for such muskets on the market. When it comes to the magic weapons of the Hex era, especially the short-handled muskets, there are still some
Worthy…”
"Of course, if you are not in a hurry to sell, you can go to the auction house to bid. If you are lucky, you will gain more than you would in our trading house. Even if the auction fails, you will not lose anything." The magician then added.
One sentence.
Suldak was not planning to stay in Bena City for a while. He said directly: "If the price reaches my psychological price, I want to sell it to a trading house."
The magician's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Okay, wait a minute, according to the procedures, we need to conduct a second appraisal and negotiation..."
The three magicians behind the iron fence got together, took the two muskets to the table further inside, and discussed in a low voice there for a while.
Without letting Surdak wait too long, the three magicians came to the conclusion of their discussion. The magician who first appraised Surdak said to Surdak: "The purchase price of each musket is
One hundred gold coins, if you are willing to sell both of them to us, the two together can get two hundred and fifteen gold coins... We hope to buy both."
I didn’t expect that two muskets, which were rusted into scrap copper, could be so valuable.
Surdak did not worry too much about the potential value of these two antique muskets, and readily agreed to the purchase price offered by the magician. He successfully obtained a purse full of gold coins, and then the four of them left the trading house.
.
I touched the magic belt bag tied around my waist. It was filled with some books about the Hex era. These were all brought out from the library of the underground city ruins. Now I only bought two muskets.
Surdak felt like a nouveau riche, and he couldn't help but wonder: How much would a magic pocket full of books be worth...
…
Located in a rented warehouse next to the slave market in the southern district of Bena City.
Several slave traders were holding whips in their hands and were beating two kobolds who were fighting. The bodies of these two male kobolds were stronger than ordinary dog heads. Long manes grew out of their necks, one meter long.
Standing around four or five years old, they look like rickety old men, and the most obvious feature of their wrinkled faces is their long mouths topped with dog noses. Their tops are flat, and they have two
Only long ears.
The two kobolds were tearing at each other, biting each other's shoulders and necks at the same time, and were entangled with each other, refusing to stop.
The slave trader first beat the two kobolds with a whip. Although the whip left blood marks on the two kobolds, the two kobolds seemed not to feel the pain.
The slave traders poured several buckets of cold water on them, but it was still of no use.
In the end, they could only use a few long iron hooks to poke into the flesh and blood of the kobold's body. Several slave traders used iron hooks to forcefully separate the two kobolds...
