Chapter 196: Knowledge is Gold

However, Lu Kuan doesn't like the temperament of the green shirt very much, he is too tough, and even when he looks at each other, he is imposing and aggressive.

There is only one word difference between the name and Tsing Yi, and this temperament is too different.

"Hello."

Tsing Yi stretched out his hand at Lu Kuan and shook Lu Kuan in a friendly manner.

Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows slightly: Good guy, this girl has such a big hand...... Relying on you to be a knight to bully me little ranger?

This time, the green shirt was miscalculated, and almost all of Lu Kuan's purple clothes were strengthened, in terms of strength value, Lu Kuan was not worthy of any profession at the moment.

So feeling the huge force coming from his hand, the corners of Tsing Yi's eyes couldn't help jumping.

"Xiao Jiu's coin, I want to buy it back, there are other uses, you say the price."

Tsing Yi said straight to the point: "I told this kid, he didn't listen, I sold it to others in a blink of an eye." ”

"Sister!" Nine Fingers glared at the green shirt a little unhappily when she heard this, but the female knight completely ignored her little brother and just stared at Lu Kuan.

Lu Kuan is not an idiot, although the female knight did not show it, she was very hostile to Lu Kuan in her words and deeds.

Lu Kuan didn't know where this hostility came from, and he didn't want to know, so he grinned and said, "I'm sorry, don't sell it." ”

Qingshan frowned slightly: "My brother is not sensible, and he doesn't know the true value of that coin, as a well-known master, isn't it not too authentic for you to deceive a novice like this?" ”

"I'm not authentic, and it doesn't matter if you say it,"

Lu Kuan sneered, and said to the nine fingers next to him: "Then you are busy, I will leave first." ”

After saying that, Lu Kuan turned around and left, no longer looking at the green shirt, the female knight shouted again in the back, Lu Kuan didn't hear it, and said in his heart This thing is simply a wonder, is it the legendary feminism?

But after thinking about it again, Lu Kuan was a little suspicious, didn't he offend her before? But the other party looks very strange, Lu Kuan is 100% sure, he definitely doesn't know this person in reality.

"Forget it, don't want it to ......"

Leaving this matter behind, Lu Kuan left the reservoir quickly.

Looking at Lu Kuan's back, Jiuzhi turned his head a little uneasily, just in time to see the appearance of his old sister: frowning tightly, with cold eyes.

"Sister, do you have something to hide from me?"

Although Jiuzhi was young, he could see that the old lady was a little wrong now, and said worriedly: "You and Lao Lu knew each other before?" ”

Tsing Yi's expression slowly returned to normal, and the hatred in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he turned his head to look at his younger brother: "Don't worry about adults and children, let's go!" ”

After speaking, Tsing Yi walked away quickly, scratching the back of his head with nine fingers, looking dazed.

……

On the other side, Lu Kuan had already come to the small inn again, and as expected, there was still no trace of the halfling.

The two had made an appointment before, Lu Kuan would go to the reservoir every night to fish, and the small inn was one of Mongo's hiding places, and if something happened, it would not be difficult for the two sides to meet.

"Is something wrong?"

A bad premonition rose in Lu Kuan's heart, and he quickly thought about the trouble that Meng Ge might encounter.

Which nobleman went to visit Iron Boots and was caught? Or did Tang Jie find it? Or is it going out on an adventure and getting in distress?

Whether Meng Ge can follow him to explore the treasure, Lu Kuan doesn't care, what Lu Kuan really cares about is the clue to the mysterious mission on Meng Ge.

Ten minutes later, Lu Kuan walked out of the middle gate of the hotel, thoughtful.

The innkeeper and waiter both said that the last time they saw Mungo was yesterday morning, in other words, it was probably more than 24 hours since the halfling had an accident.

"Where can I find a needle in a haystack?"

Lu Kuan frowned and thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, thinking of a place.

"It's dangerous, but it's the safest way to do it right now." Lu Kuan said to himself, and quickly made up his mind, and hurried along the main road to the Mage Tower in Iron Boots City.

Half an hour later, Lu Kuan entered the underground library of Iron Boots City again, and this time it was no longer the black-robed mysterious man who brought Lu Kuan in last time, but a low-level humanoid golem.

At this time, Lu Kuan didn't have time to think too much, so he went straight to the inside of the library and walked into the purple door.

In the library behind the purple gate, there are all kinds of books, but without exception, all of them are rare books that are difficult to find in the world, and a considerable number of them are unique classics that record the strange things of this world.

Lu Kuan searched inside, and quickly found his target, picked out the cheapest book from it, and then asked the humanoid golem to start transcribing.

You don't need money to read a book here, and players don't have to think that they can buy a copy and go out, and if they want to memorize the contents, they can only spend money to transcribe it.

As for the price, according to the different types of books, there are different levels, and the one selected by Lu Kuan, the transcription requires 2 gold coins - 2 gold coins per page.

This ancient book called "Rare Creatures in the Material World", a total of 207 pages, watching the golem meticulously count the gold coins in the money bag, listening to the metal sound of "bang-la-la", Lu Kuan's heart was dripping blood.

More than 400 gold coins...... Now many players have never even seen how big 400 gold coins are, and it costs so much money to copy such a broken book!

Lu Kuan's heart was bitter, but his face was not obvious, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and when the golem finished counting the gold coins, he took the copied books, and immediately left the library, and rushed to the east of the city without stopping.

The lowest area to the east of the city is the slums of Iron Boots, where all kinds of thugs and crook NPCs are everywhere, and players with slightly less psychological tolerance are not even willing to set foot in this area.

Because they were cheated and stolen here, the player has no place to reason.

Lu Kuan turned around on the rugged path, and everywhere he passed, the eyes in the darkness swept over Lu Kuan as if he were nothing, and the malice in it made people can't help but get goosebumps.

However, maybe it was because he was afraid of the mighty Dimi around Lu Kuan, or maybe it was Lu Kuan's sophisticated look that made these people feel bottomless, and there were no NPCs who didn't have long eyes to trouble Lu Kuan.

Soon, Lu Kuan stopped in front of a small wooden door, the wooden door and the gray stone door beams were in disrepair, full of terrible wrinkles, and seemed to collapse at any moment.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Lu Kuan carried the iron ring on the door and knocked it twice.

After 5 minutes, there was still no response behind the door, and if someone else was replaced, he would have knocked on the door impatiently, or simply left, but Lu Kuan did not look impatient at all, and stood calmly outside the door.

"Pak~"

At this moment, above the heavy wooden door, someone opened a small window the size of a palm, revealing a pair of dark brown eyes.

"Looking for whom?" A hoarse voice said in a scrub-like voice.

Lu Kuan had expected this to happen, and said directly: "I want to see the viscount." ”

The guy behind the door, who didn't know if it was a human or a monster, was slightly stunned, looked Lu Kuan up and down a few times with cold eyes, and stayed on Dimi for a long time before saying, "Wait." ”
