Act 5 Hello, I am your creditor

In Brando's memory, he had not been to the Ampelser workshop area that many times. What he recalled most deeply was the piece of rust-covered stone swaying slightly in the sea breeze at the edge of the Greywind Port trestle.

The signboard, a messy house, looks like a stove that hasn't been lit for a long time and the drunken old dwarf.

It’s not that ‘Red Nose’ Odok’s craftsmanship is so amazing, but as long as you only need a small barrel of strong liquor, the old dwarf will help you take care of your equipment—as long as he is not too drunk to afford it.

Ampelsel is different.

After the carriage passed a fortress, the road became extremely narrow, and the houses were lined up one after another. The salty sea breeze in the memory faded away, replaced by a heavy smell of fireworks. The red signboard was made of brass, and the words on it were flamboyant.

Extraordinary, with the unique cultural atmosphere of a port city.

The carriage passed by an old dwarf who was smoking leaves at the door with a hammer in both hands, and a bright iron ring on his beard. Or a wind elf from Luzik or a forest further north in the Mistweaver Forest wearing a gorgeous robe, wearing a bracelet on his hand.

Wearing a ring with a hollow covering the entire third knuckle to prove the identity of the enchanter.

Most of these people are leaders from all walks of life, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions, and they are also worth a lot of money. In the minds of most people, the workshop area in Ampersel represents expensiveness, luxury and the corresponding service quality.

It's like the aristocratic atmosphere ingrained in the bones of this port city.

The history of Ampelser's workshop area is older than this port. It originated from the trading market between the Eruin people and the southern mountain people. Later, this market became Ek's military station and developed into a deep-water anchorage.

, gradually reached today's scale. To this day, there are still some moss-covered stone pillars standing in the sea breeze on both sides of the road in the workshop area, telling this past history.

The carriage slid into the alley, and the sound of the wheels turning in the pottery or textile factories behind the alley became distant. Then the unique black wood signboard of 'Lusetania' came into view, with the magic black wood hanging on a hollow

There is no physical connection between the gold-plated supports of the flower, but they are suspended by magic and rotate slowly.

Although magic is common in Warnd's world, being able to use constant spells on the signboard indirectly explains the style of the store. This is not a store related to magic supplies, but a store of ordinary weapons and armors.

Just a store.

The carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of the 'Lusitania' weapons and armor store. No one came out to greet it. Normal people would not open the store in such a secluded place. However, according to the princess's explanation, it was because of the store owner.

It’s just Xi Jing, the goblins themselves are a strange group of people.

Brando and Her Royal Highness the Princess entered the store. The interior of Nuoda's store was very elegantly decorated. Dark wood with a special aroma was arranged into many counters. On each counter was a shining weapon displayed on it.

The name of the weapon is written on the glass and brass nameplate on the velvet pad, ranging from the most common rapier to spear armor.

What surprised Brando secretly was that almost all the items on display in the store were magic equipment. They were not the shoddy alchemist's works, but real magic items, and even some ancient items. Brando recognized that

The one that came out was the heavy ram-headed ax - 'Caesarus the Cutter'. This giant ax ignores 10% of the armor every time it attacks, and can penetrate up to half of the armor. Under the element

Artifact, this is a good thing. Originally, Brando also said to buy it for the red-bearded Bottom of the Copper Dragon Mercenary Group - this is the only guy under him who uses an axe, and he is also a rough man. However,

When he saw the price, Brando immediately pretended that he had never had this idea.

Caesarus the Cleaver has a price tag of five hundred and fifty thousand tols.

Brando immediately felt that the player profiteers in the past games were just like the role models and consciences of businessmen. No wonder this store was only for nobles. With such deceptive prices, would anyone else patronize it except those guys who take money instead of money?

He looked away and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess was also curiously looking at the furnishings in the store. However, most of her eyes stayed on the booths displaying various long swords. Brando followed her

His eyes even saw a thorn of light.

"Hasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess been here before?" He was slightly startled and asked curiously.

I saw Princess Griffin put an index finger to her lips and replied in a low voice: "No, Mr. Brando. It's my first time here too. But I know the owner here. Aunt Tanya is very close to me."

I met me once when I was little."

"Aunt Tanya." Brando thought that this was probably the name of the shop owner, and it had the characteristics of goblin naming. The goblins in Warnde like to give themselves a human name, but most of them are simple and lack of rules.

He looked around and found that there was no one in Nuoda's store, no - it should be said that there was one. The noise made by the three people passing by the center of the hall finally alerted the only employee in the store. To be precise, Brando saw

Only when the head popped out of a pile of boxes did I realize that there was someone here.

But it was a little girl with short brown hair and big eyes looking at them curiously: "What are you here for?"

This question is full of meaning. Because generally speaking, a thief will not visit at this time, unless he urgently wants to register in the city defense cavalry prison. On the other hand, the rest can only be customers.

Or the creditor has one of two options.

The little girl cleverly did not reveal her relationship with the store, so that even if the other party revealed his identity as a creditor, she could still use the excuse that he was a temporary worker or something else. Brando was thinking in confusion, but the little girl was already wide-eyed.

Eyes:

"Ah, are you a guest?"

When Brando saw her, she quickly dropped what she was doing and ran out. Before he and Her Majesty the Princess could shout out, 'No!' 'Be careful!' the little girl hit the open cabinet with an 'ah' sound.

on the door, and then bounced back.

There was a loud crash, and the stacked weapons, armors, jars, etc. were suddenly scattered on the floor——

Brando screamed in his heart at that time, "Holy shit," thinking that this store was not as reliable as the legend said.



"I'm sorry for frightening you two. This little girl is called Carol. Because her father owes me a debt and is temporarily unable to repay it, so she is here to help me temporarily."

Brando and Princess Griffin sat on the chairs, while the elf lady wearing a gray-purple robe that looked a bit like a loan shark sat on the counter. She wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and looked a bit like Perry.

The jewelry merchant in that area claims to be the manager and investment businessman of the 'Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce', and this weapons and armor store is just a side business.

The Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce from the Naos-Deepwater Port area. It is said that its background is a commercial organization under the name of Buga's craftsman wizard. Therefore, Brando is very suspicious of her self-introduction.

Fortunately, the wizards of Silver lacked any practical influence on the people on the earth - since they pursued isolationism, Brando didn't bother to ask. He glanced at the red forehead holding his hands, tears in his eyes.

The radiant Carol thought to herself, isn’t this the legendary child labor?

Brando expressed sympathy.

"This child is too young, Aunt Tanya, how can you bear to let her do those things." Princess Griffith also complained, "How much money does her father owe you, Aunt Tanya, I will repay it on her behalf."

Bar."

"Haha." The goblin lady picked up her white porcelain teacup, which was as small as a play toy, and took a sip, "Last time I saw you, you were still a little kid, Griffin. But her father owes you

I have a total of two million Thors, are you sure you want to repay it on her behalf?"

"Ah!" Griffin was startled: "Why are there so many!?" Two million Thor was a huge amount for most of the nobles in Eruin, not to mention ordinary people.

Even for the royal family and all the powerful princes, this is not a small amount of money.

Brando couldn't help looking at the little girl curiously, wondering how virtuous and capable her father was, that he could owe so much money.

Unexpectedly, Tanya replied: "Her father was a good friend of mine when we went on adventures together in the past. I promised to lend him money to open this shop. So in fact, the future owner of this shop will be Carol,

I leave these things to her, because as the future owner, she should also learn all these things."

"Of course, by the way, I sold myself to pay off the debt."

"I see, where is Carol's father?" Griffin asked curiously.

"Her father has already died in this war."

"Ah!" Her Royal Highness the Princess then reacted. Brando was also stunned. In fact, he was clearly responsible for supporting his friend's daughter, but he insisted on saying it was a loan. This fairy lady's temper was really weird.

.

"You are amazing, Aunt Tanya." Her Royal Highness the Princess admired sincerely, but also felt a little sad, "This is all because the descendants of the Corcova family failed to fulfill their duties, which allowed the war to spread in the kingdom.

Many civilians were implicated in this war in Ampelsel."

"It's not your fault, Griffin," Tanya replied: "The last time I saw you, you were an ignorant little girl, but in the blink of an eye, you have become a competent princess. But I heard

You don’t have a partner you like yet. So is this knight beside you the knight you like?”

"No, it's not." The princess blushed and quickly denied it. But she explained: "Although Mr. Brando is indeed... my knight, it's not like Aunt Tanya, you think."

The goblin lady smiled and said nothing, and Brando suspected that she was deliberately teasing them. Goblins always like to play pranks, and in various legends and stories, they all have a 'good reputation' for fooling fools. And now this person

Aunt Tanya obviously enjoyed it.

But she soon became serious.

"Oh?" Ms. Goblin turned her head and looked at Brando curiously: "Are you Brando?"

Brando suddenly felt a chill, but he still nodded. Tanya asked curiously: "I heard that you saved Ampelsel and are you the hero of this port?"

"That...can't be counted."

"You must not know that your grandfather owes me a holy sword?"

"Really?" Brando was stunned: "What!?" He yelled, thinking that for some reason he had an extra creditor. Looking at this rhythm, it couldn't be the legendary script where the father repays the debt and the son repays it.

.

"You don't know, right? It's the weapon of the Earth Sword Master."

"My grandfather's weapon..." Brando was startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered the sword of the Earth Sword Master - it was a mythical weapon called the 'Meteor Star'. It is said to be the legendary sharp blade Siliveus that split the earth.

Replica of the Fang.

The Tooth of Siliveus is the hero of the mountain people and the sword of Kula. The myth of the mountain people is outside the epic of the Cruz people, but Kula did exist in history, and also had a relationship with the Azure Knight.

An adventurous experience. This history is not widely circulated, but the Tooth of Silphus is quite famous because it is said that the mountains of Alkhash are the cracks that separated the earth with one strike of this sword.

In the language of the mountain people, the Tooth of Silifus was originally Sili Amlida, which means the sword that separates the earth. In a sense, this sword is more famous than Kula itself. And the Earth Sword Saint Darus was

It is named after this because of this reason.

Brando couldn't help but look at Her Royal Highness the Princess. Unexpectedly, Princess Griffin nodded to him with an embarrassed look: "Mr. Brando, I'm sorry, I almost forgot... your grandfather's sword is Tani.

Aunt Ya gave it to him when he was young."

"That guy also promised me to exchange my sword with a real holy sword in the future, and he kept his word." Aunt Tanya complained like a child: "But fortunately, his grandson has finally grown up.

Adult-"

Damn it, it’s really a script where the father repays his debt and the son repays his debt!

"Wait, what do you want to do!" Brando yelled. He suddenly felt that the worst decision he made today was to come here. He originally wanted to repair the equipment, but he didn't expect to meet a creditor. There is definitely something wrong with this script.

.

"Don't worry. I won't really ask you to find a holy sword. That was your wish when you were young, but now your appetite for adventure has faded." The elf lady replied magnanimously.

"You don't want me to look for it." Brando replied angrily. He did have a genuine Earth Sword, which could barely be regarded as a holy sword, but it was a sword that he found with great difficulty.

, asking him to use it to pay off debts was a no-brainer. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. It was a good thing for others to recognize a powerful relative, so why when it was his turn, he would either end up with enemies or creditors. Sword Master Daru

What kind of detestable things did Si do during his lifetime?

Ms. Goblin disagreed with Brando's bad attitude. Instead, she said to Carol on the side: "Carol, can you go inside and help me take out that box?"

"Huh?"

"It's the one with a ring of gems on the lock."

"Oh." The little girl, who was still in tears, said oh and ran to the back obediently. However, Brando looked like this evil businessman-like lady was trying to get rid of the troublesome people. Sure enough, he saw

She turned back and said: "Griffin, Mr. Brando, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter with Aunt Tanya?" Before Brando could answer, Princess Griffin on the side had already spoken.

"I want to ask you to help me find something."

"Aunt Tanya...those legendary holy swords have long disappeared in today's era. This is no longer the era of the Saint's War." Princess Grein couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard what she said. She was obviously very interested in this person.

I have some understanding of 'Auntie's' weird temperament.

"That's not necessarily the case," the goblin lady said with a disapproving look. She put down her tea cup and said, "The truly glorious era is just about to begin. But let's not talk about it for now. I'm not asking you to help me find a holy sword or something."

"Huh?" Princess Griffin was slightly startled: "Aunt Tanya, what are you looking for?"

"This is actually the reason why I came to Ampelsel, and I don't necessarily have to find that thing, as long as I can take a look at it. This can be said to be my lifelong wish."

When Brando saw the disapproving look on Her Highness the Princess's face, he knew that this elderly elf lady must have countless wishes in her life. Maybe she had said the same thing when she gave the sword to his grandfather.

"Aunt Tanya, so what are you looking for?"

"The Azure Spear, I heard it is hidden somewhere near Ampelsel."

"ah--"

Isn't this more outrageous than finding the Holy Sword? Brando only had this idea in his mind at the time... Now that kuso is over, let me just recommend the game Lucetia. Although it's just a fan game, the quality is really high.

.I think I played it half a year ago, and I suddenly remembered that I wanted to write about a mysterious magic shop, so I just happened to write about it) (To be continued)!~!
