Under the wooden board are some bottles and jars containing magic herbs. The herbs in the jars all look so lifelike, and some even have their roots perfectly preserved.
He Boqiang felt a little curious and moved closer to the herbs to take a closer look.
At this time, a skinny old man walked out from behind the shelf silently.
He saw that He Boqiang was observing the magic herbs. His eyes like goldfish eyes were opened as wide as possible. He quickly walked towards He Boqiang with an excited face. His face full of age and wrinkles was raised up, and he grabbed it with both hands.
He Boqiang's sleeves, his eyes full of fear and hope, his voice full of sincerity, said:
"Warrior, do you have these magic herbs in your hand? I will buy any of these magic herbs at a high price..."
He Boqiang shook his head simply.
Hope was disillusioned in the eyes of the thin old man. He reached out and stroked his sparse hair. There was infinite disappointment in his gray eyes, and the enthusiasm on his face quickly cooled.
The goldfish eyeballs immediately turned into dead fish eyes, revealing most of the white eyeballs, and said to Suldak in a nasal voice:
"So you two are not here to sell magic herbs? So... what do you two want to buy?"
That arrogant tone makes people want to turn around and walk away.
However, Surdak was not displeased at all. He smiled and said to the skinny old man:
"Your Excellency Pharmacist, we are part of the advance army of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment and are about to head to Moyun Ridge in Gandaer Mountain. We heard that certain magical herbs are abundant in Gandaer Mountain. The main reason we came here is to learn more about it.
Let me tell you what are the most common magical herbs in Mount Gandaer and what should you pay attention to when collecting them. Although I have mastered the basic peeling technique, I know nothing about collecting them."
Surdak's words immediately softened the expression of the old man in the magic grocery store, and his face was no longer so irritable.
The skinny old man said with a groan:
"Humph...I'm not a pharmacist. Don't talk nonsense. So you are about to enter Mount Gandaur? Well, that's good..."
Seeing that the grocery store owner's tone softened, the smile on Suldak's face became even more cordial.
"You want to know what magic herbs are produced in the Gandaur Mountains?" the skinny old man asked again.
At this time, He Boqiang discovered that the old man was actually wearing a set of dirty robes. The robes had been dyed with unknown dyes and had lost their original color. The cuffs and neckline were frayed, making them very shabby.
The skinny old man had been talking to Suldak and didn't pay attention to He Boqiang.
He seemed very willing to chat about magic herbs, just listen to what he said:
"No one here knows these magic herbs better than me, so I will tell you in detail. The most common flower in the Gandaer Mountains should be this silver-leaf grass..."
"...I say it is common, just to compare it with other types of magic herbs. Magic herbs are scarce now, and it is not easy to find a silver leaf grass. This kind of magic grass does not like sunlight and is usually drying out.
It grows in a dark place, and its most obvious features are the oval silver leaves and phimosis..."
After listening to this eccentric old man talk about herbal medicines for a long time, Surdak became familiar with the skinny old man. Surdak slapped his chest loudly on the spot and personally promised that as long as he found the magic herb
, if I have the chance to bring it back, I will definitely send it here for sale.
Such a guarantee made the skinny old man feel very happy.
At this time, Surdak finally spoke out the purpose of coming here:
"This time the advance troops of the Infantry Regiment went to Gandaer Mountain mainly to open up a smooth forest road for the Constructed Knights in the rear and to build a camp under Moyun Ridge."
Surdak said sincerely:
"You can probably understand how dangerous this mission is, but for us, we also have more opportunities to come into contact with the magic grass in this mountain, so we also want to buy some practical emergency magic scrolls from you."
The space in the tent of this magic grocery store was very small, only enough for two people to stand. At this time, someone outside wanted to come in. He opened the curtain and found that the tent was full of people. Then he said a few words of complaint. The skinny old man
He simply didn't pay any attention to it, just lowered the door curtain and left those people outside.
Then he said seriously:
"That's it! Let me think about it, you are right... Of course, the advance army is the first to enter the army in the mountain. The chance of collecting magic herbs is much higher than other troops. Um, are there any magic scrolls that you can use..."
He turned around and walked to a shelf filled with scrolls. He first took down a bundle of magic scrolls and placed them in front of the stage.
He started flipping through the magic scrolls quickly and said:
"Let me see, the range of choices is actually really small..."
The old man frowned and put the magic scrolls on the table back to their original places:
"These are not good. These attack magic scrolls can only be cast by magic apprentices at least. These are not very good..."
Finally, he turned out two palm-sized magic scrolls at the bottom of a shelf and said to Suldak:
"This fire-gathering magic scroll allows you to light a bonfire at any time. You probably won't need this kind of scroll in the mountains and forests. You can still prepare a water-gathering scroll, and there is this... sentry post.
The scroll seems useless..."
The water gathering scroll... He Boqiang and Suldak stretched their heads to look at it, thinking how much such a high-end scroll would cost.
The skinny old man finally said from his mouth: "This water gathering scroll is worth twenty-five silver coins, but since you are going to the mountains to find magic herbs, you can take away the twenty silver coins..."
Suldak and He Boqiang looked at each other, as if they could accept it...
Then, Suldak touched his money bag again and asked boldly: "So... do you have any healing potion?"
"Treatment potions? You really dare to think about it... There is an extreme shortage of magic herbs now, which makes these potions very precious in the magic market. I think you should not expect to buy healing potions. At least I don't have them here. Since you mentioned it
Potions, I'm afraid you can use these. By the way, I also have some hemostatic bandages here, you can bring some with you too."
The skinny old man curled his lips and stared at Suldak with a contemptuous look on his face, his expression was very unbeatable.
Although he did not take out the healing potion that Surdak wanted this time, he found two bottles of green potion from the corner of the shelf. He Boqiang knew this kind of potion, and Surdak had a bottle of such antidote before.
Then the skinny old man threw another dirty roll of bandages to Suldak and drove He Boqiang and Suldak out of the tent.
There was still a crowd of people surrounding the Magic Grocery Store at this time. Everyone wanted to go in and see what was inside. When they saw someone coming out, they gathered around again, but they didn't expect that skinny arms were sticking out from the tent.
, placed a wooden sign with the words 'Closed' outside the tent door...
Those who wanted to enter the magic grocery store could not help but stand outside the tent and look at each other...
Suldak and He Boqiang squeezed out the people and waited for the specific time to rendezvous tomorrow, and Suldak returned to the military camp.
