Chapter 39: Buying weapon
Palin had never experienced Chinese Culture, he surely didn’t have this kind of thought like Sui Xiong . But he was a loyal believer . As long as it was his religious God’s request, even if it went against his desire, he would obediently follow .
Therefore, after failing in persuasion, he still found the shop assistant to ask about the price to buy this sophisticated enchanted long dagger .
After inquiring about the price, even a thick-skinned like Sui Xiong couldn’t help but feel hurt in his tentacles .
“The price of this “Ice Soul” is 70,000 gold coins . ” The weapon shop assistant said nonchalantly .
Palin glowered his eyes . Although he was mentally prepared for this, this high price indeed made people stunned .
After a while, he couldn’t stand but ask: “How can a enchanted long dagger be that expensive? I’ve seen many high-end goods . They are at most more than 10,000 gold coins!”
The shop assistant sneered while glancing at him, didn’t bother to explained, grunted his nose, then got back to wipe the bright as snow long blade .
This kind of never-before-seen boor market was like the skeletons in the Ash Forest constantly grew . The store manager said he also wouldn’t sell this “Ice Soul” for whom couldn’t see the true marvelousness behind it .
Palin was about to pridelessly ask few more questions . Soon enough, the embarrassment hit his face, he unhappily left the weapon store . He intended to find an inn to get a place to sleep first .
However, as soon as he took several steps to leave, he was blocked by a kid, who was small and skinny, as well as very well-dressed .
“Wise and farsighted shaman, do you want to buy something good? Please, you definitely have to stop by “Good Eyesight” grocery store!”
Judging from this kid’s smiling expression and his skillful sale style, he clearly had been waiting outside the weapon store . He must be a salesman who was usually turned down by the adventurers .
“Mister Shaman, you haven’t been to our Dragon Roar Town, right?” This kid talked like he had known Palin all along, “If you are familiar with the Dragon Roar Town, you must not have gone to that “Dragon-slaying Sword” scamming weapon store!”
Palin nodded his head constantly, totally agreed with this kid . They wanted 70,000 gold coins just for an enchanted long dagger . Why don’t they go robbing!
. . . No, robbery doesn’t mean they could get money quickly! 70,000 gold coins . The biggest amount of money the Wolf Orc Legion from five-years of robbery is just 50,000 gold coins!
These days, due to the village exploitation matter, they had entered the Ruhr’s treasure cave again .
Rhodes’ skills were not inferior to Rennes’ . He didn’t need to waste much effort to break all the traps along the way——-in fact, although those traps were extremely dangerous and powerful, their types were kind of old, too outdated that they became messy . The goods here would not be sold at a low price at the Thieves Guild grocery store as compared to re-packed stuffs, could be sold out in a few days .

The total amount of Ruhr hidden treasure was 50,000 gold coins . There were also some antique items and black art goods . They were marked either not for sale or too dangerous to be sold—-the example of the first one was a jewelry set that had an Angle Wing emblem of the holy angel of the kingdom royal family . Rhodes’ cold sweat streamed out as he saw this . Especially when he carefully counted the number of the wings on the emblem, his face immediately turned white . The example for the last one was an extraordinarily firm finger bone, which had a black art energy hovering above it . When Satan saw this, he was scared to the point that he took several steps back and almost hit his head to the wall .
Well, the emblem was the most diehard and combative item of the kingdom royal family . Moreover, it belonged to the third generation Prince . The second one was a spirit bow of a wicked witch goblin . After the witch goblin was killed, it would used this finger bone as a coordinate to return to the mortal world again .
If the first one was exposed, the Holy Angel of the kingdom would definitely send an assassin to the Northwest Four Towns, to not only take back the jewelry, but also to kill the whole family of the merchant who tarnished the royal family’s honor . The second one was not afraid of being exposed, but who knew when that witch goblin would resurrect?
Although in terms of value, the jewelry set and the spirit bot were above 50,000 gold coins, as long as one was not crazy, they would not think of selling them—-of course, even if the seller had gone crazy, he also needed to find an insane buyer, who was not afraid to die, to sale .
Although Palin came from a business family, he could not forever taken as a rich man . Under his perspective, 50,000 gold coins was already a colossal amount of money, which could make people dizzy . But that freaked “dragon-slaying sword” weapon store priced an enchanted long dagger 70,0000 . They could still put on the “not buying is your loss, this old man doesn’t feel surprised or thirst it” attitude, which made his blood boiling inside .
At this moment, hearing this kid criticizing about that scamming store, he felt like he had met his soul mate, constantly showing his support .
“That scamming store indeed uses few fine enchanted weapons to lure you in . for example “Ice soul”, then “Tree Elder” . . . But the price is set so unreasonably high, at least few times more expensive . ” This kid was clearly an expert, or at least he had learned several lines from the expert, “as for the pillar in the middle of the shop that hangs ‘Dragon-slaying treasured sword’ . . . Ha ha, that is a joke! Can people use that blade to slay a dragon? Or perhaps, some dragon-slaying powerhouse will lay their eyes on this broken blade!”
Hearing the same judgment as Sui Xiong’s from this kid, Palin’s mouth was gasping . He now understood why his Highness underestimated the dragon-slaying sword . He became more interested in this long dagger .

God’s eyes were definitely something a mortal little shaman could be compared with!
“That’r right, do you know the story behind this blade?” The kid smilingly said, “thirty years ago, the former mayor of this town luckily gained some illegal profit . At that time, in the Gobi Dessert located in the east of the Orc Kingdom, there was a famous Cat Race goddess . Her dancing and singing could be rated as matchless . He then bought a magnificent gem with a high price to win the goddess’ heart—-what do you think about this idea?”
Palin thought for a moment, then shook his head: “It is not reliable . “
“Right, it is not reliable at all . As the result, he didn’t make to the Orc Kingdom . He was chased by the cold tyrant in the Gobi Dessert . At that time, he took out his unfathomable courage to fight with the Giant Dragon for this gem . . . “
“Already dead?” Palin aksed .
“No . That guy with rotten brain was detrimental by the Giant Dragon’s dignity . Therefore, that Giant Dragon had chased him to a village and hung him on an ancient tree, put a cloth on his body . “this is the bravest lecher I’ve ever met, also the weakest” was written on the cloth . “
Palin laughed out loud, laughed at that mayor, who had overestimated his own capabilities and the Giant Dragon’s sense of humor .
“After he was saved, that mayor immediately found a person to make the ‘Dragon-slaying Sword’, at the same time announced that anyone agreed to come to the mountain to slay the dragon would be rewarded with the treasured song . As you can see, thirty years later, the town has changed two mayors . That blade is no longer hung there . “
While chatting, after a while, those two had arrived at the “Good Eyesight” grocery store . This grocery store was not small . Judging from the look of the wall, it must have a long history, could be called an old store .
The Old Suo Si had taught Palin, there were two options to choose a store to buy stuffs in an unfamiliar place: One was a store that everyone knew, another was a store with long history . The first method was based on the popularity of the store . The latter one was based on the reputation of the store . Both of them were worth trying .
As soon as they stepped in the store, the kid yelled out loud: “A Xue! A Xue! I have guests for you! Today, don’t put carrot into my soup!”
“Children are not allow to be picky about food, president will not grow tall!” A middle-aged woman walked from the room . Her facial feature were upright . She must be a goddess when she was young . Her figure was a little fat, and not tall . On her way here, her momentum was seething, which made the floor under her feet as if groan .
This female boss who was called “A Xue” was charging toward Palin at full lick, caught the kid in one strike like catching a chicken then put him aside , smiled at Palin and said: “Mister, our “Good Eyesight” grocery store has been run for four decades . We are specialized in all type of groceries . In addition, there are some stuffs that are left behind by many senior adventurers, which could be counted as inexpensive and of good quality . You will definitely not be disappointed when visiting our store!”
Palin was slightly scared, stepping back . Although this ant was just an ordinary person, her bearing was out of the ordinary . Especially, when there was a big gap between both sides’ physiques, he was feeling more insecure .
However, he immediately reacted—–because I am a caster! A shaman! Even though I am in the middle of the danger, but why do I need to be scared of a normal human!
Therefore, he once again stood straight up, wanted to showcase a little demeanor of a shaman . But Gnome was naturally short . Not to mention the female boss “A Xue” was considered tall among the humanity . Therefore, when both sides met, her height appeared double his, which made his effort become meaningless .
A Xue didn’t notice the little shaman’s attitude, she giggled and said: “Mister, what do you want to buy?”
” . . . Actually, I just casually look around . I don’t know what to buy . “
“I see! So you have come to the right place—our store have goods that you must be interested!” A Xue laughed out loud, then came behind the counter and brought a trunk, which had a size of Palin . Inside the trunk, there were all kinds of equipments at sixes and sevens, in a terrible mess .
“These stuffs are bought from those adventurers . None of them have gone through inspection and evaluation . The majority is rubbish . But there definitely some good equipments in it . Now, just give me 10 gold coins, then you can freely choose anything and take it away . ” A Xue laughed out then said, “this is our store’s characteristics, “Picking up good stuffs” . We rely on eyesight to make money . But everyone can only choose one . “
Palin was a little stunned, looked at the messy trunk, furrowed his brows and aksed: “Can i use the evaluation spell?”
“Of course, you can’t . The so-called “picking up good stuffs” is to test your eyesight . ” A Xue’s anwer was expected, “if you use magic to evaluate then it will be meaningless!”
” A valuable item that is picked among a pile of inconspicuous stuffs is truly a treasure!”
The chubby ant laughed extremely satisfactorily . Her eyes flickered a dazzling halo that was not from an ordinary merchant .
