The sundries placed on the wooden trellis were still very messy, but this time Claude came with the intention of picking them up again. No matter what they were, he picked up all the odds and ends and stared at them intently for a long time.
He just put it down, and Bokhar was so impatient when he finished settling the accounts that he called Claude a few times before he woke up.
No, you can't look at them one by one like this. Among other things, there are at least more than a hundred gadgets placed on these three rows of wooden lattice shelves. If you want to look at them one by one like this, you will exhaust your mental energy and you can't even see half of them.
And spending too much time will make people suspicious. Although the shop owner Vakuri does not know magic items, he is a shrewd businessman. His careful inspection and selection will obviously make him raise the price...
While telling Bockar to let him go out first, and preparing to find two gadgets to use as toys for the little chubby boy at home, Claude took a few steps back and concentrated all his energy to scan the entire wooden trellis. Claude believed that if there really was
If it is a magic item, there will definitely be some strange phenomenon, so that you can quickly pick up such a magic item.
Not to mention, Claude's move was really effective. The first row of the three rows of wooden shelves showed no response, while the two items placed on the second row of shelves emitted a faint light. One was cyan, the other
It's black. There's only one thing on the third row of shelves that flashes blue light twice.
Claude quickly took the three items into his hands. The first item that glowed faintly was a small wooden sign. This thing was very strange. It looked a little greasy. It was dark brown and inconspicuous, and it looked like...
The longevity lock in the past life of the traveler. However, the longevity lock in the previous life was either made of jade or gold and silver, unlike this sign made of wood. I don’t know whether this wooden sign was originally an accessory or a pendant.
The second item that emits black light is a dagger. It is of a very ordinary style, except that the handle and the scabbard are made from the bones of some big fish, which makes it look a little unique. Claude guessed that this dagger is probably...
A certain sailor's belongings. Either he lost a bet and put it on the gambling table, or he had no money to drink and left this dagger in the old Munch's grocery store. A long time must have passed, and the scabbard of the dagger has been covered with a layer of charcoal.
Layer of ash.
The third thing that flashed blue light for a few times was a pen holder shaped like a big fish jumping out of the water. The fish's mouth was wide open as the opening of the pen holder. There are many kinds of pens in this world, but the most commonly used ones are pencils and dip pens. Pencils
Needless to say, the dip pen is like the Western quill pen I saw in my previous life. The tip of the pen is mostly made of copper or silver. It also needs to be dipped in ink to write, but the thing behind it is not a goose feather, but a quill with carved patterns and painted on it.
Pen holder with color pattern.
So this big fish pen holder is not as big as the pen holder for writing brushes. Instead, it looks small and exquisite. However, the base with the water wave pattern carved on the lower part is a bit heavy, and there are two screw holes in the middle. This should be decorated on the ship.
The pen holder, for example, can be fixed on the desk in the captain's cabin, so that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it will not fall off, unless the whole ship capsizes, because the desk is also fixed in the cabin...
It's just that Claude couldn't care less about why the three items in his hand were glowing and whether they were real magic items. He once again concentrated on scanning the three rows of wooden trellises to make sure that nothing else appeared.
After seeing the abnormal phenomenon, he took these three items out of the warehouse and went to Vakuri to pay the bill.
At this time, Bockaar, Ericsson, Viricero and the shopkeeper Vaculi were all standing in the open space in front of the house. In front of them was an overturned sea turtle.
Haifanzi is actually a common name for a kind of small sea-going boat by the residents of Bailu Town. This kind of small sea-going boat is actually four or five meters long and two meters wide, with a high bow and stern. Generally speaking, this kind of small sea-going boat
In fact, it is equipped on those large ocean-going sailing ships for use as landing ships and lifeboats. If you squeeze it tightly, a sea turtle can seat more than twenty or thirty people. And a large-scale ocean-going sailing ship is equipped with
Most of the personnel are around fifty or sixty, and it is enough to mount two sea-turners when going on a long voyage.
The overturned sea-turner should be considered large even among small sea-going ships. Claude estimated that it was more than five meters long and 2.78 meters wide. The reason why it was placed here is simple.
There was a big hole in its bottom, and three or four of the ship's planks in front were broken, as if it had been hit hard.
"Did it hit a rock?" Claude asked strangely: "With such a big hole, are all the people rowing on it blind? Didn't they see the rocks blocking the road? No? It's impossible to row a boat like that.
The impact was so great that even if it hit a rock, it would be impossible to break such a big hole..."
"It hit the rocks, but it was not the capsized ship, but the ocean-going ship that set it up." Ericson said: "In March this year, there was not a big ocean-going ship that collided at Bay Point.
Did it sink on the reef? This sea turtle was from that ship. Because of the collision, the sailors on the ship were in a hurry. When they lowered the sea turtle, they lost control and hit it directly on the reef.
So it was scrapped.
Wasn't it the ocean-going fishing boat Flying Spear that passed by our town later that rescued those people? They stayed in our town for more than two months, and when the subsequent transport ship finally arrived, they finally transferred the cargo and cargo from the ship that hit the reef.
All the useful things were moved away, leaving only an empty ship frame, and the damaged sea turtle was no longer needed. So some fishermen in the town went to dismantle the ship's planks and pick up rubbish, so they picked up the sea turtle and sold it.
Gave it to Uncle Vakuri."
Claude handed the three items in his hand to Vakuri, asked him to calculate how much they cost, and then asked: "Can this sea-breaking ship be repaired? If these few ship plates are broken, the entire ship will have to be replaced.
Is the bottom plate broken? With the price of repairing it, it’s better to build a new sea turtle.”
"Oh, don't mention it, I made a mistake." Vakuli sighed: "When those fishermen pulled the sea flipper over, it was upright. From the top, it looked like there was a small hole. As long as
Just replace that boat plate, so I took it. Unexpectedly, when I turned it over the next day, I realized that the entire bottom plate of the boat had been broken. It was difficult to repair it unless the entire bottom plate was replaced. But in that case
It would be better to build a new one, and it won’t cost much more.”
"How much did you bring in?" Ericson asked.
"Don't mention it, I will lose at least three silver thalers this time." Vakuri said.
Everyone knows it by heart. It only cost one gold crown, which is about five silver thalers, to collect this sea-breaking boat. Wakuli was not a kind person anyway, so he encountered a hole like this.
Naturally, the Haifanzi would try his best to lower the price. A new Haifanzi cost at least four or five gold crowns. He could buy it in for one gold crown, repair it, and sell it for three gold crowns. There were plenty of people to take over, but he didn't expect it.
It's not just the broken ship plank that needs to be replaced.
If this sea-breaking ship is dismantled, the big beam at the bottom of the ship and the remaining good ship planks can still be sold for two or three silver thalers, but after subtracting the labor cost, it will only be worth one or two silver thalers.
The money was lost, so Vakuli said that he would lose about three silver coins this time.
"These three items are considered one silver tale and five riaso." Vakuri said: "You are an old customer, and I will not sell them at a high price."
Bokoal suddenly jumped up: "Uncle Vakuli, we believe you and come to buy things from you. Why do you talk so nice but your knives are sharpened so fast? A silver thaler is five li."
Yasuo bought these three rags and you still said it wasn’t a high price?”
Claude didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to agree to the price, because these three items were probably magic items. Even if the price of Valkuri was one or two silver thalers higher, he would buy it, but he didn't expect that his partner
They actually jumped out to fight against the injustice.
"That's it." Ericson took the dagger from Valkuri's hand: "Isn't this a very ordinary fish bone dagger? Why did you buy this, Claude? I'll ask the sailor on the ship to get one for you.
, you only need to pay two or three riaso."
Vakuri smiled bitterly: "That's not what I said. Although this dagger is ordinary, it is quite old. Besides, if you ask the sailor on your ship to get one, he will just polish a fish bone and stick it on the scabbard.
Make a handshake, you haven't calculated the original price of buying a dagger, I estimate that a silver thaler is not expensive."
"It's only seven riaso at most." Ericson pulled out the dagger and broke off the blade: "It's a very ordinary fine iron dagger. If you go to Hans Weapons Store, you can buy a silver thaler that's better.
The fine iron dagger is still brand new."
Bockaar asked Claude strangely: "I said, why did you buy this fish bone dagger?"
"Well, as you know, my father doesn't like weapons. He doesn't even have a hunting knife or a dagger at home. Last time I went to Bailuzhou, the hunting knife on my body was Vero's and the dagger was Ike's. This time my father gave me
I bought a matchlock gun, and I was thinking about getting a short knife or something, so that I can handle prey during future hunting. I happened to see this fish bone dagger just now and thought it was a bit unique, so I took it over and asked about the price..."
When Claude said this, Vakuri lost his temper. Anyway, this fish bone dagger had been left in the shop for a year or two, and he didn't know which sailor his dead father had collected it from. Normally,
No one asked about the price, because people who wanted to buy weapons basically went to the weapons stores in the town, and would not look for these junk in his grocery store.
"Okay, okay, considering how good you are, this fish bone dagger is worth seven riyals." Vakuri said in his heart that the purchase price will definitely not exceed three riyals, and selling it for seven riyals has already cost a lot of money.
It's better to earn less than not to be able to sell it.
"Then how much does this wooden sign and this big fish pen holder cost?" Bockal pursued the victory.
Erikson said next to him: "This big fish pen holder should be a ship supplies or a second-hand product. The Parker Bookstore in town also sells similar ship pen holders. The general price is only between two and three riaso, which is the same as yours."
Like this one, they are all carved from wood. As for this wooden sign, it seems to be the door number hanging in front of the hotel room, but I remember that there are also such wooden signs on the cabin doors of ocean-going ships, with the number of cabins marked on it.
No. This thing shouldn’t be worth much.”
Vaculi said with a sad face: "Okay, these two things count as three riaso, and the total is one silver thaler. Now it's okay."
Claude smiled and nodded: "Okay, at this price, I will take it."
After receiving a silver taler handed over by Claude, Valkulli was about to turn around and go back to the store when he heard Erikson ask: "Uncle Valkulli, if you sell me this broken sea turtle,
How much do you want?"
"What did you say?" Vakuri turned around in surprise, only to find that Claude, Bockar and Vericro were looking at Erikson in stunned silence. It was obvious that they didn't know why Erikson was there.
Ask like this.
"One gold, no, four silver thalers..." Vakuri originally wanted to say one gold crown, but remembering that he had just told everyone about the purchase price, he quickly changed his mind: "As long as four silver thalers,
You can pull this sea turtle away."
At this moment, Vakuli just wanted to give himself a big mouth. Why did he tell these four boys about this broken ship? The bottom line was leaked. Otherwise, he could sell it for more money, and at least he would buy this broken ship.
There is absolutely no problem in getting Haifanzi's capital back.
