Chapter 106: Buy a torch
"Why don't you buy a magic flashlight?"
On a whim, I remembered the TV series in my previous life, in which I was in the dark, with a flashlight in one hand and a pistol or dagger in the other, searching for enemies in the corridors.
However, after much thought, I still rejected the idea, which was not only inconvenient, but also conspicuous.
Just imagine, walking around the dim cave with a magic flashlight, the dim light in the cave and the strong light released by the flashlight are in stark contrast, and my whole body involuntarily formed a shining star.
The group of demonized bats hiding in the dark waiting for their prey may still be in a drowsy state, and the bright light of Leng Buding is like reminding them, 'Hey, the snack is here, hurry up and warm up and get ready to eat'.
In this way, what else can those hungry monsters attack if they don't attack me!
Why don't you change it to a torch?
On the Azure Planet, this type of wild animal is generally more afraid of fire, and when they see it, they can't avoid it, do the monsters in the dungeon have a similar fear?
After thinking about it, I think this method is feasible, and even if it really doesn't work at that time, a stick with fire is a good weapon.
After making up my mind, I left the dungeon, and it was just in the afternoon.
When I came to the daily necessities store, I explained my intention to the shopkeeper, and after a while, the counter was filled with more than a dozen torches of different lengths and shapes.
"These are the most popular nowadays," said the boss, holding on to the counter and smiling.
I picked it, found one from it that looked relatively strong, checked it with my hand, scratched it twice with my fingernails, nodded my head, and asked the boss, "What is the price of this torch?" ”
"Thirty silver coins," the boss said sincerely.
But the sincerity on his face looked at me in the eyes, but it was naked blackmail.
Thirty silver coins. You're not selling torches, you're selling hammers for the night.
I frowned, a look of embarrassment: "Isn't it a little too much?"
"It's too cheap, isn't it" The boss completely ignored my painful expression, and still said courteously: "Yes, the biggest feature of my things here is that they are good and cheap!" ”
He took the torch in my hand and said, "Take this one as an example, made of pure steel, hollow carving, master works, once the flame is ignited, there will be a vigorous and passionate feeling, standing in the crowd, it will immediately become the focus of everyone, become the star of Ari City, and become the most shining man!" ”
"Uh. It's okay to hold a torch and shake it there, it's quite dazzling." I sweated: "But most of the time, I usually call this kind of person '****'." ”
“.”
The boss was stunned for a moment, obviously, he didn't expect me to say this, at this moment, looking at his expression, he was probably thinking quickly in his mind about how to organize more appropriate language.
"Come and see this, young man," he said, changing the subject, "Look at this place. ”
He pointed to the torch.
I followed his point, and there was a small line of writing on the torch, but unfortunately, I couldn't read it.
Looking up puzzled, I asked, "What is this?" ”
"You don't understand?"
The boss's expression was very surprised, as if he was looking at an ignorant visitor from outside the sky, as if these few small words were as well-known as the 'Brain Hundred Gold' of the Azure Planet, and anyone who didn't understand these words was the existence of ******.
"Is it written on this?" I scratched my head and guessed, "Statue of Liberty ice cream?" ”
"No," the boss politely dismissed my speculation.
"The Ghost Swordsman's Stick?"
"No, it's a name, a name!"
"Demacia?"
The boss was finally defeated by my big brain, wiped the sweat from his head, and said, "It's Campbell written on it." ”
"Campbell!"
I was shocked.
"You got it?"
The boss's expression also became excited.
"Who is he?"
Returning to a state of expressionlessness again, the boss almost fell to the ground.
"You don't even know the name Campbell, do you!"
The expression on the boss's face was extremely wonderful, his eyes were suspicious, as if he was guessing whether I was playing with him, but he couldn't see any false shadow from my sincere face at all, sighed, and said casually: "You are really."
I guess he wanted to say that I was unheard, but he found that it was rude to say this to the customer, and it was not good for his money, so he gave up the next words, cleared his throat, and said, "Campbell is actually."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say, "Campbell is the master of the Zephyr Continent. ”
Turning around, the person who came was a handsome man in a luxurious robe, a few years older than me, with very white skin, blond hair, and a strong aristocratic atmosphere.
He smiled at me and nodded, very politely.
I nodded my head in return.
Behind the man, followed by two heavily armed, meaty-faced, bodyguard-like people, who were looking around vigilantly, judging from their actions, their strength should be around that of a fifth-level adventurer.
Just when I was still looking at the man in front of me, the boss behind me suddenly took the lead in greeting: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Rodney, who is here, and the hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good!" ”
He walked out of the counter quickly with a servile face, came to the man's side, clenched his hands into fists, put them on his chest, his eyes lit up, shooting greedy and humble eyes, a mouth that was already not small, instantly grinned under the root of his ears, and was still growing up exaggeratedly, he had a shy old face, and said with a smile: "Master Rodney, what are you going to buy back today?" ”
His hands kept rubbing together, as if to ward off the cold, but I could feel that his palms were sweating, and his hands were shaking, according to some unscrupulous teachers: he was either epileptic or ADHD.
Sensing his idiotic behavior, and not knowing if idiocy would be contagious, I immediately moved two steps farther away, and it was always good to be prepared.
"No hurry!"
Rodney's voice was not loud, but his movements were very heroic, he waved his big hand and said, "This little brother came first, let him buy it first." ”
"Yo, these days, it's rare to see such a polite and well-behaved second generation of Qian" I muttered to myself in my heart, and unconsciously, I gave him a thumbs up.
The boss turned to me, and his face changed instantly, from the initial smiling to an impatient cold face.
"Thirty silver coins, buy them if you like, and leave if you don't buy them."
Yo, looking at the boss's tone and attitude, it is like a newlywed man who is in a hurry to go home and snap with his wife, saying that he will drive people away.
Come on, I sighed in my heart, just to buy a torch, I don't want to be awkward, I can't be as knowledgeable as him.
Thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "It's too expensive, I won't buy it." ”
After speaking, I pursed my lips, and I sighed helplessly as I walked.
"Wait!"
