Chapter Twenty-Four: A Thief......
Dinner, of course, was with Rassell's master and apprentice. The meal consisted mainly of steak, creamy oyster soup and fruit salad, the only thing that was a little more expensive was the bottle of red wine. The restaurant is not the kind of high-end consumption place that is very luxurious, and Lu Xi can see that the main consumers are the middle class and ordinary civil servants.
The dinner was not luxurious, but it was delicious. Overall, Lu Xi was more satisfied with the meal than the seafood dinner with the blonde dumb Olivier. Of course, it also has something to do with who eats it.
After dinner, Rassell arranged for Lu Xi to stay in a hotel closer to the central city.
"Since Mr. Orucello mentioned it, I'll take you to the council to have a look. The council will be officially convened the day after tomorrow, you can stay first, and tomorrow you can walk around the city first, Elichar has a lot of good places. I'll pick you up the next morning. ”
Lu Xi opened the two boxes and played with his seventeenth birthday present.
What Orucello gave him was a silver necklace amulet with a gold coat of arms, and a few small holes in it that seemed to allow something to be inlaid in.
This is the magic amulet that Orusello ordered from the most famous magician merchant in the Federation, the Aprest Company, and is made of a small amount of pure white gold with a magic coat of arms engraved on it. It is said that this amulet has the effect of repelling fire and water, allowing the wearer to cast a magical shield every twenty-four hours to ward off magical attacks.
However, the power of this amulet is not only that, it also has six inlay holes on it, which can be used to inlay space gems. For those mages who specialize in summoning magic, using phantom beasts and elemental spirits to fight, this is a magic weapon that is too good to be good.
"I haven't learned to summon magic, what's the use of that?" Lu Xi was a little embarrassed, but he still wore the necklace around his neck. In any case, this chain is much more gorgeous than many non-mainstream dog chains in the other world.
(Name: Alpha Type 3 Amulet.) Quality: Blue boutique. Attributes: Fire +7, Water Resistance +8, Gem Hole 0/6, Magic Storage: Arcane Shield 1/1. )
What Russell gave him was a pure black bracelet engraved with blue runes.
It is a shaped bracelet made of Oz steel, which is said to make it easier for the wearer to enter a meditative state, making it easier to refine the elements of nature to complete the sculpting energy. In addition, the indestructible Oz steel is sleeved on the wrist, which can also block knives and guns, and can even be used to knock people.
(Name: Oz Steel Energizing Bracelet.) Quality: Blue boutique. Attributes: Hand Armor +15, Spirit +2, Meditation Level +1)
He really deserves to be a master of arcane, and the birthday gifts he gives are so murderous.
Lu Xi sighed contentedly, put away his things and went to bed, since he decided to go shopping the next day, he had to keep enough body today.
That being said, the next day, Lu Xi walked out onto the street alone, facing a variety of luxury shops, but suddenly felt a little at a loss. He casually walked into a ready-to-wear store, and was greeted by an usher dressed like an aristocrat more than himself.
When the usher saw Lu Xi's face clearly, he was a little stunned, because he didn't know whether to lead this customer to the men's or women's clothing area.
"I'm just looking around, you don't have to call me."
The clerk hesitated for a moment, then changed to a very friendly professional smile: "Welcome to the shop." We have a wide range of ready-to-wear to suit the needs of customers of all races, including men, women, winged people, and spirits. Please visit me and let me know if you have any needs. ”
If you come to Elichar, you should bring something for everyone in the village. Lu Xi thought so. …,
When he came out of the store, he took only a silver trench coat and a small leather jacket. The trench coat was intended for the teacher Orucello, and the leather jacket was a gift for the elf old butler Gamcha. It's not that he doesn't want to buy more, it's that the numbers on the price card really make him faint.
In fact, Lu Xi has not yet seen the real high-end luxury goods, and the price there must allow the little otaku to fully experience the chill brought by "taste" in a cerebral hemorrhage.
Lu Xi came to the bookstore again and picked out a few books for himself. He returned to the hotel with his belongings, but soon came out again.
He was going to go to the flea market, maybe he could find something good, and he could also prepare some gifts for the two servants and the servants of the house.
Elichar's largest flea market is almost as far as the edge of the central city and no more than a block or two away from the slums. Here, there are three religions and nine streams, hooligans and ruffians, all kinds of characters, and the rich and powerful basically do not appear in such places.
So, when Lu Xi came here, it almost caused a 100% return rate.
Although his clothes were not luxurious, the silver-black robes with the coat of arms on his body clearly indicated that he was a magician. In the Natya-Federacy, a magician means the ruling class, a nobility.
Lu Xi squatted down in front of a stall, pointed to an axe and asked, "How much is this?" ”
"Huh?" The peddler obviously didn't react, until Lu Xi asked again, and then he quickly replied, "You said it was this axe?" It's not me who blows, this is the weapon used by the legendary Minotaur hero Spartam, and it's the best thing we have here! ”
Lu Xi frowned, watching the hawker's gushing.
"In the beginning, Spartam carried this axe and led the minotaur gladiators to start a rebellion against the Dark Elf Kingdom. I don't know how much Drow's blood this axe has drunk......"
"How much?" Lu Xi asked again.
"Ah, for the sake of such a beautiful and generous young lady as you, it will be ten golden milas. I'm already fair, you know, it's a legend......"
"Ten silver karans." Lu Xi said.
"Ah," the peddler jumped up like a cat with its tail trampled, "you can't spine fifteen times at once." It's a legend......"
"Five." Lu Xi only said two words.
"You're too much, I haven't heard of the price reduction and keep lowering the price." Said the hawker.
Lu Xi stood up and prepared to leave without saying a word.
The peddler hurriedly ran over and stuffed the axe to Lu Xi: "Sold it, sold it, really, it's a big loss today......" Until he collected the money, he was still chattering.
Lu Xi struggled to carry the axe, and did not look back, leaving the hawker's chatter behind.
It can be seen that this axe is made of fine steel, and it is very delicately sharpened, making it a good weapon. Lu Xi had already used the exploration technique to inspect this axe just now, the quality was only excellent, and the weapon of a legendary hero was naturally absolute nonsense.
"Go back and give them to Bull, his two axes, which are obviously used for chopping wood, are really unseemly." Just as Lu Xi was thinking about this, a short figure came out of the street and crashed into Lu Xi.
Lu Xi's eyes were quick, and he quickly moved the axe away, so that the little figure would not hit the blade, but he was hit with a full bosom.
The two of them fell together into a rolling gourd.
"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sister, are you okay? The short figure quickly jumped away and lay on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
"Sister...... Sister? Lu Xi felt that a bruise appeared on his forehead. …,
The one who had recklessly knocked him down, and who had no eyes and no beads calling him "sister," was a red-haired boy of about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in simple old clothes, and with freckles on his face.
"Forget it, you can't really see a little boy." Lu Xi sighed and said, "It's okay. Are you okay? ”
The little boy was stunned for a moment, probably because Lu Xi's kind attitude was a little different from the magician master he imagined, and then he quickly replied: "I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you, thank you, thank you, sister." ”
You still say sister? Lu Xi almost couldn't help but pick up the Oz steel bracelet and give him a brick, but in the end he held back. He waved his hand in a pretended manner, turned his head and walked away.
"Wait, that section just now always feels a little familiar." Lu Xi thought as he walked, suddenly stopped, and then subconsciously touched his pocket.
Sure enough, the wallet was gone.

"Isn't this a dead dad? Why didn't this egg-hurting quest be triggered three minutes ago! Lu Xi turned his head sadly and angrily, only to see the back of the red-haired little boy flashing away on the street corner, "Little thief, you stop for me!" ”
