Chapter 64: The second is to make up a story
Io's electronic voice trembled: "We are teammates, how can there be a reason to sell teammates for equipment, this is not logical!" ”
"Aren't your teammates just selling them?" Tang Xiaotian said with a heartfelt voice: "Besides, you are not a teammate now, you are a magic equipment, you can deduce and calculate, selling you one, in exchange for the safety of our entire team, isn't this the best solution?" ”
"I'll admit it's a good idea from a team perspective, but it's hard for me personally!" Io's electronic voice was full of tears: "I don't want to become a device and be trapped in this world forever, and please don't support the captain's decision!" ”
Tang Xiaotian spread his hands and said: "No way, last time I wanted to protest, but I was hung up by the captain and bled out, and there was even someone on the side to help me do a death countdown, that experience was too painful, I don't want to try it a second time." ”
"Crane, Zhang Daniu, you can help me say something!"
Ai Ou seemed to have understood that he had offended Tang Xiaotian, so he stopped talking to her and turned to the other two.
Klein looked embarrassed, secretly glanced at Luo Feng, who was covered with frost, and stopped talking, but finally didn't say anything.
Zhang Daniu scratched his head, looked at Luo Feng with palpitations, and still said stubbornly: "Captain, after all, Ai Ou is our team member, and it is still a bit too much to sell it, otherwise we will pawn it as a pledge and redeem it when we make money later?" ”
"Don't mortgage me, God knows if you can scrape together enough money to redeem me!" Io shouted in a high-pitched electronic voice, and he finally changed the target of his plea to Luo Feng.
"Captain, don't sell me, I've contributed to the team, and my loyalty to you is evident! When I hung Xiao Tian and Da Niu up, I can help you hand the rope, and I brought the bloodletting basin! ”
When Zhang Daniu heard him say this, his face turned dark and he muttered: "Retract what I just said, sell this guy, it's a disaster to keep it." ”
Luo Feng stroked his forehead, he sighed deeply and said, "It's really ugly, it's so shameful, how can I have such a group of players." ”
He pointed at Zhang Daniu and said: "Didn't you talk about team spirit before, cooperate with each other, complement each other's advantages, and now it's a pleasure to sell teammates." ”
Then pointed to Tang Xiaotian and said: "Didn't Ai Ou just offend you once, as for falling into the well?" ”
finally pointed to Klein: "You are so timid, what kind of chief investigator do you think, I think you should go back and apply to be transferred to the administrative center as a clerk!" ”
Several people were lowered by Luo Feng's words, but Tang Xiaotian was slandering, obviously you were the one who proposed to sell Io just now, what kind of decent man and gentleman are you now, don't sell Io, do you want Lao Niang and Klein to go out and sell it?
"I'm referring to selling Io's damaged mechanical body, how can his ontological soul core be sold!"
Luo Feng said very ironcladly: "There is no possibility of repairing his mechanical body, and our storage space is also closed, so we can't run around with his mechanical body on our back, it's very heavy." It's a pity to throw it away, it's just a waste to be reused, and it was sold for gold coins. ”
"Oh!"
"I see!"
"Uh...... That's right. ”
"Scared the hell out of me!"
Only then did the four team members come to their senses, and suddenly sighed.
"Tang Xiaotian!"
Io's electronic voice was calm and unwavering, but anyone could hear the anger in it: "I remember you. ”
Tang Xiaotian rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that the old lady was afraid of whom, the old lady remembered you a long time ago.
"Big Niu, carry Io's mechanical body, and we'll go find a buyer."
Under Luo Feng's command, Zhang Daniu carried Io's mechanical body on his shoulders, he was an extremely rough and strong man, but he also seemed to be very struggling, which showed that the weight of this damaged body was not light.
Luo Feng led them to the platform on the southwest side of the oval square, and walked up the wooden staircase to the entrance of an open-air shop.
The shop was cluttered with furniture, tapestries, sword stands, decorative armor, sculptures, and several large paintings.
Luo Feng walked into the store, came to the short and fat shopkeeper, gave him a chest salute, and said, "Time is money, my friend." Would you give your precious time in exchange for a large sum of money? ”
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and also replied: "You must be a guest from afar, your greeting is very polite, very charming to the nobility of the ancient goblin empire, I am the art contractor Quartaris, may I ask your honorable name?" Why do you want to visit our store? Looking to buy groceries, art, and furniture to decorate your home? ”
"You can call me Mr. 'Bradero'. )”
Luo Feng cleared his throat and said seriously: "You are worthy of being the most famous art dealer in Am, you really have a pair of discerning eyes, my companion and I are plane travelers from the astral plane, and we came to your store to cooperate with a famous person like you who is well versed in art appraisal to achieve a win-win situation." ”
"Mr. Bredero is also an art dealer?" The shopkeeper Quartaris looked Luo Feng up and down and said, "You mentioned that you want to cooperate with me, do you have art masterpieces in your hand and want to sell them to me?" ”
"Wise Mr. Quataris, you are right."
Luo Feng motioned for Zhang Daniu to place Io's mechanical body in front of Quartaris.
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "You say it's a work of art?" This is obviously a corpse, and if you want to sell fresh corpses, you should go to the dirty collectors of the Shadow Thieves Guild. ”
"Alas......"
Luo Feng put on a disappointed expression and sighed: "I didn't expect this treasure to even be able to deceive the eyes of an art appraiser like Mr. Quartaris, it seems that Am, the capital of merchants, is nothing more than that, I still have to embark on a journey to find a buyer who really knows the goods." ”
With that, he motioned for Zhang Daniu to resist Io's mechanical body.
"Wait!"
Quartaris hurriedly stopped in front of Zhang Daniu, took out a monocular glass from his jacket pocket, clipped it to his eye socket, and carefully examined the mechanical body.
He touched the bionic skin of the mechanical body, pulled the hair of the mechanical body, and used the electronic eyes of the mechanical body to carefully look at it, and even broke the mouth of the mechanical body and looked inside for a long time.
"This ...... This ......"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"It's a strange thing! I've been in the art trade for decades and I've never seen a statue so lifelike! No, it's not a statue, it's like a god who has created a living immortal from all sorts of magical materials, but without infusing his soul into his body, where did you find such a treasure from the astral guest, venerable Mr. Bredrow? ”
Luo Feng smiled and said: "Speaking of the origin of this treasure, it is a long story, just like every priceless work of art has a bizarre and twisted story behind it, and this treasure also has a fascinating and beautiful legend." ”
The few team members behind Luo Feng were eye-opening, and it was the first time that they realized what kind of skills their captain relied on to make him prosperous in the plot world, and Ai Ou himself didn't know what beautiful legends his mechanical body had.
