Chapter 263: Strange Dwarves
This is a dwarf whose appearance is between middle age and old age, and if you look at the average natural lifespan of a dwarf of 400 years, he should be over 250 years old. He was dressed in stained leather overalls, with a belt around his waist covered with all sorts of tools, and a very typical brownish-gray hair, thick and thick, that almost obscured half of his face.
Generally speaking, the dwarves are rough in appearance, but they are not a barbaric race that does everything without elaboration, and they always keep their hair and long beards neatly rested, and it is said that the dwarves also hold a very funny event such as a hair contest in the furnace castle every ten years, but this dwarven shopkeeper is a clear example. His hair was fluffy and messy, a bit of an otherworldly explosion, with messy curls in places, apparently unwashed in days. His beard hadn't been groomed for a long time, and had been stiffened into wisps of strange shapes by unidentified liquids such as dried sweat and soup, with many split ends.
As soon as he entered the shop, it was as if he had become a large source of pollution, and the strange smell centered on him instantly spread to every part of the room, it was a combination of sweat, sourness, rust, and gunsmoke.
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that when he comes into contact with any smell, he will either be nauseous or flee, but fortunately, Lu Xi is also an elite mage who has been in a hundred battles, and he has also killed seven in and seven out in a large number of rancid undead army, he just frowned slightly.
However, such a raunchy dwarf can be regarded as a strange thing. If it weren't for the badge he wore on his chest. It was indeed the sign of a dwarven master craftsman, and Lu Xi thought it was a beggar who had come out of that garbage heap.
"Ahh Excuse me. Guest, the boss has been doing research just now. So it's too late to wash. Lori, the night elf, saw everyone's discomfort and quickly explained. Then, she pinched a handprint in her right hand and gently waved it in a very rhythmic amplitude.
Lu Xi only felt that a strange magic power fluctuation flowed quickly, and the smell in the room was suddenly a lot more comfortable.
This is supposed to be the "poison exorcism" of druid magic, which is said to neutralize all the harmful parts of the air within a certain range, and it can also be used as an air cleaner.
For Elf Lori's actions, the dwarf just snorted lukewarmly, and then stared straight at Lu Xi. He looked up and down for a moment before he said in a firm tone, "You're not here to buy something." β
Lu Xi realized that this dwarf who looked like a beggar had a pair of eyes that were so deep that people palpitated, like a deep pool without waves in an ancient well.
No matter what the appearance is, but with these eyes alone, pretending to be forced is enough.
"How so?" Lu Xi asked with interest.
"Wizard boy, you're strong, I can see that. And your saber. Inner armor, rings and pendants are all treasures that are difficult to find in the world, and they are obviously the children of magical nobles carefully cultivated by famous teachers. Such people. How could you go to a small street forge shop to buy something? β
"Well, maybe it's because I've heard of the name 'Top of the Furnace' and came here on purpose?" He replied subconsciously. But his eyes have drifted to the back hall of the store. When the dwarf and night elf Lori came out, they didn't have time to close the door, in the eyes of the kryptonite dog given by the system. An elegant and warm light shimmered in the back hall, a light more beautiful than a gold coin. The glow can only appear on magical equipment of higher quality than red.
I didn't make the mistake of choosing the place.
"That's even more unlikely." The dwarf grinned, revealing a mouth full of smoky yellow teeth: "Old Ogel is already a joke in Hearthcastle, and what can be spread can only be a bad reputation. If you're here to see the clown, that's reasonable. β
"Dead old man, just say a few words!" Lori, the night elf, stomped her foot hard, apparently afraid that the unobtrusive dwarf would scare away the rare guests.
There are still such businesses, no wonder the store is open in such a busy central business district.
"Lu Xi, let's go......" Sai Xiliu walked behind Lu Xi quietly and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. She didn't want to stay in this weird shop for a moment. In her eyes, this old dwarf is unkempt, arrogant, and relies on the old to sell the old, and she is completely the most annoying type, and she doesn't think she can find any reliable information from this person's mouth.
Lu Xi just shook his head and said to the night elf Lori, "Please pack this pair of jade earrings and this amethyst brooch." β
The little girl let out a cheerful laugh and hurriedly got to work with her hands and feet, and Lu Xi shrugged her shoulders at the old dwarf: "The jewelry in this counter is still good, but unfortunately it's only jewelry...... However, there is a shop where a dwarven master master sits, saying that there is no good goods in his hands, and he probably doesn't even believe a fool. β
Elf Lori kept winking at the old dwarf while wrapping the jewelry in her hand, but the latter turned a deaf ear and shook her head expressionlessly: "It's a pity that all the things in the back of the shop have been sold." β
"So ......"
"I also don't take on any custom gear jobs because I'm retired." The dwarf roared and knew what Lu Xi wanted to say, so he directly took the first step to block the other party's words.
"Are you this guy playing tricks......" Grant, a former villager who was a qualified follower A and was about to cultivate and transfer to a dogleg A, suddenly took a step forward in annoyance, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly. Of course, he is just making a show, as Lu Xi's first subordinate (yes, although he doesn't have any sense of zΓ i), he knows that his master is not a bully of the second generation, and he has not been stepped on to chop the whole family "strong" mentality, and he will naturally never do it without the acquiescence of the master. However, since he is a qualified dogleg, he must have the consciousness of the lord worrying about the humiliation of the lord and the humiliation of the minister, otherwise how can he ensure the existence of zΓ i in this highly competitive society?
Of course, this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's offense will not make Lu Xi angry, but others don't know this. The little girl of the Night Elf blocked the dwarf with a clever and low-key sliding step, and spread her hand at Lu Xi. A harmless smile on his face: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, honored guest." I apologize to you for the rudeness of our store manager. These two sets of jewelry will be discounted by 20 percent...... You see, you always have to be in a good mood when you go shopping, and it doesn't matter if you do smash our little shop, but it affects you, and the good mood of your beautiful lady, it will be a big sin. You say yes, right? β
"Who, who's his wife!" Sesilyu could distinguish a sentence in a voice that was almost inaudible to others, and her head couldn't help but be buried, and others couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
Lu Xi thought to himself, if someone really doesn't open their eyes and smash your store. Naturally, it is really impossible to have a good mood, after all, it is impossible to have a good mood when you are disabled. Don't you know when I don't? Your outstretched hands seem defenseless, but your little finger and thumb are already together, and when you suddenly close your hands, it is the handprint of the high-level druid magic "Dancing Net", which can instantly release a large cloud of magical fishing nets that even elephants cannot break free. You have a mirror-sized disc hanging from your waist, but I also know that there are two sharp blades that are as sharp as clay that can pop out at the touch of a spring. This discordant thing is called the "Full Moon Blade". It is the valve weapon that the elven war dancers are very fond of using.
A level 42 druid plus level 31 war dancer, a night elf Lori with a comprehensive strength of the 3rd order of gold, but works as a salesperson in an inconspicuous dwarf shop pΓΉ, who would believe you if this store is not a little boring?
Lu Xi shrugged helplessly. Temporarily giving up the intention of "Taobao", he spread out his hands and shook his head helplessly and smiled, indicating that he had no malicious intent. Then he was ready to explain his intentions. He believed in the racial talent of his "life god", as long as the elves had a high natural affection for him. But before he could speak, the dwarf suddenly let out a surprised voice: "Wizard boy." What hang under your armpits? β
Lu Xi was slightly stunned, and then reacted quickly. In order to make it easier for him to draw a gun, he used a decent holster to hang under his armpit, and then fixed it with a strap made of sturdy elven velvet cotton, which was usually blocked by a windbreaker. However, he made a gesture just now, and the placket of the unbuttoned shirt naturally opened a slit, revealing the milky white gun handle made of the mammoth fangs of the ice field.
"It's one of my hobbies, don't worry about it." Lu Xi hurriedly pulled his coat on. He didn't want an outsider to know the secret of the guide gun.
The dwarf's eyesight was better than Lu Xi imagined, and he smiled, and his voice suddenly trembled: "Unexpectedly, you also like muskets." I've always thought that powerful people are very disdainful of this guy. β
It was the first time the dwarven master had smiled tonight. The smile was full of bitterness and suffering, as if a desert had been cut off for several days, and finally saw the shadow of an oasis on the horizon. He wanted to cheer, he wanted to rejoice, but he was worried that it would be a mirage, so he could only press it with difficulty, carefully moving forward step by step, step by step towards the other side of light and happiness......
Lu Xi shuddered suddenly. The magician's sixth sense told him that he had a demonic aura approaching.
"Uh, Mr. Ogel, I just wanted to ask, do you know ...... that Aster Orphanage"
"Can you show me the musket?"
"This ......" Lu Xi frowned, and his tone couldn't help but be a little cold: "It's a little unruly, right?" β
The dwarf quickly shook his head and said in a somewhat eager tone: "No, no, no, young man, don't get me wrong, I just saw another comrade-in-arms who loves the way of muskets, and I was a little excited, and I just wanted to learn about it." You wait a minute, I'll take out my work. β
It turns out that this dwarf master is also a radio wave system!
The old dwarf had already stumbled into the inner hall, not caring at all whether Lu Xi wanted to see it or not, and the little girl of the night elf on the side was also helplessly covering her forehead, revealing a sad expression that was completely inconsistent with her age, and sighed heavily: "Come on, it's ...... again."
It seems that this old dwarf's airwave action is not once or twice! (To be continued......)
