Chapter 132: I'm Caught Every Time
The black market is indeed a good thing! For others, being able to find real treasures here is similar to buying a dress rehearsal, most of the time it is just for fun, but for Lu Xi, who has golden thighs, it is simply a treasure mountain that needs to be developed urgently.
Among the tens of thousands of products circulating in this market every day, there are many valuable antiques or precious stones, but the equipment that is truly valuable to the combatants is indeed a drop in the ocean, but the light of quality contained in them seems to be able to float for thousands of miles, and it can be captured by Lu Xi's fly from afar. It's just that after walking for such a short time, Lu Xi has already found several blue and red grade things, the silver quality has not been found except for the pendant on the equipment just now, and the gold and dark gold ones are even more difficult to find, but Lu Xi believes that as long as he is given a little more time, he dare not say that a complete set of silver or even gold equipment should not be a problem.
Well, anyway, let's get down to business for now......
Lu Xi was full of saliva and conjecture, while walking in the direction pointed by the master old man who was a guest vendor, and soon the figure of the target appeared in his sight.
Although the target image recorded by the engram crystal is not as clear as the horror of a high-definition camera in another world, which can be seen in every pore, it is finally undistorted.
It was a man who looked to be in his early thirties, four or five years older than he really was. The gray-black hair looks a little messy, there is a lot of stubble on the chin, and the bridge of the nose is high, so it looks like a tough guy-shaped handsome guy who is walking the prodigal style, but only when I take a second look, the feeling is completely different. His complexion was a bloodless pale, his eyes were deep-set, his lips were cracked, and he looked like he had not slept enough and had been overly drunk. What's more, his eyes don't know if they are crooked or deliberate, and his gaze always has a feeling of condescending looking down on others, which is extremely unpleasant.
Well, it's no wonder that old man is so popular, a master of the golden position, who is admired by thousands of people there, is actually looked down on by a gentleman, and it is strange that he is not angry. That is, a good person like my brother who is kind and gentle, if he is replaced by Long Aotian, he can destroy your whole family with this look.
The twenty-six-year-old man, Aubert Cass, was a deputy director of the Urban Planning Bureau of the Federal Capital of Natya six months ago and wears a two-star magician badge. In addition, the love of the brothers on the road also has a nickname such as "one of the top ten sons of the Federation...... Of course, he himself definitely didn't know that the common people of the Federation privately called them the "Top Ten Beasts of the Federation".
Aubert Cass's father, Wilde Cass, served two terms as governor of the county and one as deputy secretary of the interior; His uncle, Regel Cass, was a federal senator and mayor of the capital, Elichar; His uncle, Ruhr Kas, did not enter politics, but he wore the rank of lieutenant general and served as the head of the logistics department in the Ministry of Military Affairs. Generally speaking, this family can indeed be regarded as one of the top political and wealthy families in the federal ranks.
Of course, this is already in the past tense.
The orc tribes of the Great Wasteland and the undead of the Henas Peninsula have a tendency to ally themselves, putting the Federation under unprecedented military pressure. As a result, the Grand Magister and Minister of Military Affairs Russell had to devote all his energy to expanding the military war and strengthening national defense, of course, this also gave him the best excuse and opportunity to rectify the military affairs department under his command.
Soon, the head of the Logistics Department, Lieutenant General Ruel Kas, was exposed on charges of embezzlement, bribery, shoddy goods, and so on. When the entire Federation was on the brink of war, anyone who manipulated military logistics would become a street rat, and Lieutenant General Cass was soon placed under house arrest. …,
In addition to this, the evidence obtained from Ruel Cass is also faintly unfavorable to his two brothers, the entire Cass family, and even the faction of the Commonwealth of Gate Lords.
In this case, the head of the noble family of the gate valve, the seaweed head and his father Turner, even showed the pride of a strong man with a broken wrist, not only turned a blind eye to his former ally Regel Cass who came to ask for help, but also took the other party directly and sent him to the court.
Perhaps Rassell was not prepared for an all-out war with the nobles of the Gatelords, and seemed to be preparing to focus on the Cass family. At this time, Wilde Cass and his son, Aubert Cass, suddenly disappeared from Elichar and fled to Neosfia overnight.
Subsequently, there was a series of fugitive and anti-fugitive, tracking and anti-tracking criminal investigation and anti-corruption dramas, which we will skip for the time being.
To put it bluntly, Aubert Cass is a typical aristocratic gentleman, who has no ability not to mention and is particularly eye-catching. When he lost the power and wealth of his family that he could rely on, he still didn't know the situation, and he maintained an "aristocratic" hysterical arrogance.
"I told you, it's the real thing from Milanero! If you don't understand, get out, don't move your hands and feet! Aubert stomped his foot and said in a high-pitched voice, "That's true, that's why I hate hillbillies in the black market......"
Well, this is decisively a map cannon. The Sosnes merchant, who was haggling with Aubert, suddenly turned angry, pointed to the small oil painting on the stall and sneered: "Young man, you are new here, right?" The real thing from Milanero will be here? If it's the real thing, why don't you get it auctioned off at Neosfia? ”
"Well, that's because ......" Aubert couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then said angrily, "It's none of your business!" This painting is a treasure that has been passed down from my family for several generations, and the market price is at least 10,000 yuan, and I only sell it for 5,000, which is fair enough. ”
"Justice?" The merchant did not hide the disdain in his eyes at all: "The underground market in Black Man City has been open for 20 years, and the highest transaction price I have ever heard of is only 1,200 baht. Young people, don't enter the industry if you don't know the rules. Stupidity is just a shame for yourself, but if you are stupid and have to come out to show, then even your parents' faces will be lost."
"You, you, you ......" Obert, who has been praised as the future pillar of the Federation since he was a child, has heard such a ridicule, and he was suddenly so angry that his face turned red, and his hands began to tremble: "You get out of me!" ”
The merchant's eyes froze. He stretched out his hand to stop the two big men behind him who were about to step forward, but his tone revealed an indescribable Sen Ran: "You can't do it, we all have to abide by the rules here...... Well, it might be out there. Boy, you'd better stay at the Siren Bar for the rest of your life and not go out. ”
After leaving such a threat, the merchant laughed and walked away, and one of the bodyguards smirked at Aubert with a throat-slitting gesture before following him.
As a result, the poor former noble son's face turned even paler.
Half a year ago, when he was still the prince of a wealthy family, even the commercial representatives of those multinational consortia in the Federation of Neosfia had to carefully accompany him with a smiling face. Now, a small wandering merchant dares to stand on his head and pull the fly, if it spreads, how can the dignified Young Master Aubert be a person in the Federation?
So, in Lu Xi's sight, this hysterical gentleman stood like thunder in place, but it was like a cheap sculpture made of expired materials, exhausted to maintain a crumbling dignity, which could be weathered into a pile of useless dust that could only pollute the air at any time......
Alas, the market is in an underground cave, and there are so many people coming and going, and the air quality is already very poor.
This guy is indeed a complete gentleman, a magician with a two-star evaluation, and his strength is only a pitiful Bronze 9th Order, which can't even be compared to Sai Xiliu when he just graduated. I don't know how such a waste snack escaped the watchmen at the city gate and swaggered into the city. …,
Lu Xi glanced at Lim, then took a slight breath, and once again got the kind of business smile that could make most people's hearts flutter, and walked to Aubert Cass's booth.
"You don't quite look like something you got from the Black Forest." Lu Xi asked with a smile.
The former prince of the Federation looked at Lu Xi, who was dressed as a magician, and hesitated for a moment, but thought that there were many traveling mages who had come to wander around the black market in the past few days, and then he was relieved, and then said angrily: "Those ruins and rubbish from the ruins, who knows if it's real or fake?" I'm all real here, see for yourself. Love to buy, don't buy and get out, don't bargain! ”
It's like going back to the Celestial Empire in the 80s, are you doing business?
Lu Xi raised his head, stared at the other party's eyes and grinned, and picked up a pearl-eyed topaz-colored gem from the stall: "How much is this?" ”
The former noble prince looked at the ring in Lu Xi's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. He gritted his teeth, his face was blue and red for a while, and his eyes were rolling subconsciously, as if he was engaged in a very fierce psychological struggle. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said in a voice that almost only he could understand: "This, well, is our family's hidden magic gem, a fixed price, 1500 gold coins. ”
"Huh? Well...... It's a bit expensive indeed......"
"How expensive is that? You have to figure it out, this is a dragon's eye. You're a magician, right? Then we are still peers. You should know that this gem is worth the price, well, I actually sold it cheaply......"
"This, of course I know it's a dragon's eye stone...... However, I'm just a rookie magician, and my eyesight is far less than that of my experienced predecessors. Actually, I can't tell if it's real or not. ”
Aubert Cass's face suddenly appeared with that disgusting look again, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Tsk, I've been making trouble for a long time and I'm here to find fault, if you want to buy it, if you don't want to buy it, you can ...... if you don't."
Lu Xi showed a pitiful and helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it!" However, 1,500 gold coins weigh several kilograms, and even if they are counted, it will take half a day, how can I carry them with me? Why don't you come back to my room with me, and we can have a drink and talk...... Well, if you have anything else good here, give it to me as well. ”
"This ...... But, well, forget it. Aubert was obviously a little moved, but immediately realized that he was still on the run, and he had to be careful, so he still shook his head and refused: "If you sincerely want to buy it, go back and get the money." Someone didn't have enough money to buy it just now, so I asked her to go back and get it. ”
"Don't say that. Business is not benevolent, and I am very happy to meet my compatriots from the Federation here. Lu Xi continued to smile, but his body took a step forward with great agility, almost sticking to the other party. The broad hem of his coat suddenly rose out of nowhere, shaking Aubert's eyes.
Lim turned sideways to block Lu Xi's right hand, hiding all the opponent's movements behind him. The people in the outer circle could only see that Lu Xi seemed to be preparing to hug Obert, but what he was really doing was actually not real.
Lu Xi suddenly got so close to him, Aubert was suddenly a little unaccustomed, he just wanted to show a little bit of the majesty of the eldest young master, and yelled something like "rude things", he felt a tingling pain in his abdomen, and the feeling of soreness and numbness spread along his lower abdomen to his whole body. The scene in his sight also suddenly became in a trance, and he lowered his head, just taking in what Lu Xi had done. A steel needle poked out of the other's ring and plunged deep into his stomach.
"You...... You ...... "...,
"Rest assured, it's not poison. Although it says that life or death doesn't matter, if you are captured alive, the mission reward should be better, right? So you won't be able to die for a while. Now, let's get some sleep. ”
Aubert wanted to shout for help, but he found that the power of the narcotic was even more terrifying than he imagined, and he could no longer even control his throat and vocal cords. The groggy feeling soon occupied his brain, and his body went limp, and he was paralyzed forward, and was supported by Lu Xi, who was quick to see and move. Aubert struggled to raise his head, trying to resist with his last strength, but when his gaze met the other party, he only felt that the pair of pupils that were as black as the night sky seemed to turn into a cosmic black hole at this time, filled with a deadly sense of charm.
Then he didn't know anything.
"Oh, Brother Aubert, why are you so enthusiastic? Okay okay, I know it's been a long time and you're glad to see me. Mmmmmm Lim, hurry up and collect Brother Obert's things, and today is the stall. Lu Xi deliberately said loudly with an exaggerated expression and tone, which soon attracted the attention of many people.
"That's a must, drink and drink." Aubert's expression and gaze were a little glazed, but he still spread his hands and replied loudly.
Well, it turned out that I ran into a fellow countryman. When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they naturally didn't care.
Without saying a word, Lim stepped forward and quickly packed up Aubert's things.
"Wait, wait, don't close the stall so quickly! We came back with money! A vigorous girl's voice sounded eagerly, and with the sound of running footsteps, a fragrant wind had already stopped behind Lu Xi with the figures of the two girls.
"We're here with the money, please collect the stall later, okay?" This time the opening is a very demure and elegant girl's voice, as long as you listen to it, it seems to be able to heal people.
Lu Xi didn't look back to greet the owner of the voice. He was still facing away from the other party, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and his back was already covered with cold sweat in an instant.
Bearded, why are these two self-cooked here here? PS: Thank you for the great reward from the god love moon and the blue wind of the clean, well, you are all good people. Thank you again for the reward that can't be moved by the big gray, well, you are all my wings. I love you
