Chapter 1,232 The Legendary Treasure

*************************************************** *************************************************** **

Everyone laughed inexplicably, as if they were hiding something from me. But after waiting, I found that the purpose of bringing up this topic had exceeded the target.

I don’t know when, the gazes cast by Xilusi and Aikelu were no longer as shy and evasive as before, but returned to their usual appearance, black and sparkling, with infinite admiration and admiration for their father. respect.

I:"……"

Although it's inexplicable, since we already have a rough idea of ​​the purpose, forget it.

My current mood is not so much happy as it is very subtle, as if I accidentally opened the game console, entered a series of characters randomly and then pressed Enter, and suddenly found that all the magical equipment in the entire game was like a heavy rain. , began to fall overhead.

Before he could dance with excitement and grab a few sets of divine costumes to slay dragons and torture the Demon King, he was suddenly hit by an epic-level giant hammer from the sky, hitting him right in the head. He was game over, and because he was an expert level Difficulty, so right back to the title of the game...

After resting for a while in the restaurant, Vilas's exit did not affect everyone's interest in continuing to shop. After all, there are still several hours before the end of today's God's Birthday.

However, with a Kajiel riding on my shoulders and a Veras on my back, I looked like a three-body super man in a black cloak. Not to mention the passers-by I saw, even I felt like myself. Very suspicious.

I was even interrogated several times by patrolling soldiers, who suspected that I was taking advantage of the commotion on God’s birthday to kidnap people. If I wanted to show my face, and then exposed Vilas’s face on my back, the soldiers would He will give a knowing smile, give a respectful attention salute, and then continue patrolling.

If I had revealed Willas's face first and then mine, then it is very likely that I would have been shot into a hedgehog just halfway through the action.

Although I really wanted to try the latter situation to see if it was as I expected, after thinking about it, I wrote a sentence on the palm of my hand, "Making trouble is valuable, and life is more valuable." Then I swallowed it, silently bent down, and put my back I tightened my silk threads and chose to be an old ox working hard to plow the land.

By the way, speaking of which, where is the shop of that damn profiteer?

I suddenly remembered the day at Artoria's welcome party, when I met the unscrupulous businessman who opened a seafood shop in Lugoin in the second world, selling all kinds of weird and cruel things.

What's your name, Kidd? Loki? No chicken or duck? Forget it, it would be easier to call him a profiteer anyway.

I remember it was...in...the West District...the West District...

Yes.

After taking the girls shopping for a long time, I finally found the profiteer's shop in a location somewhere between inconspicuous and inconspicuous.

Compared with other busy shops, this place seemed particularly deserted. When we entered, we were the only family in the whole store.

The profiteer, who always squints his eyes and puts on a flattering smile on his face, is lying leisurely on the big lazy chair, taking a sip of the honey tea bought next to the shop from time to time, and smoking the water pipe happily, which makes people feel This guy wasn't here to do business, he mistook the camp for some weird place like Hawaii or the Maldives.

Is this guy really a businessman? Seeing this scene, I was a little skeptical, but after considering the things sold here, I was relieved. You said it was a God's birthday, and it was not April Fool's Day. Who would buy something to make people happy when they have nothing to do.

"Dear guest, honored guest!"

Seeing a group of us walking in, this squinty-eyed profiteer flashed a light in the slits of his eyes, like infrared rays that could scan money. At first glance, he could tell that I was the big benefactor, or that he was the one waiting to be slaughtered. sheep.

"It seems like your business is not going to be easy." I took off my cloak and hat and said with a cheerful smile.

"It turns out to be you, my lord!"

Showing an expression of surprise that he didn't know if he was pretending to be, the profiteer smiled more flatteringly and rubbed the palms of his hands even more vigorously.

"I can still barely earn some money for traveling home, because the goods in our store can be considered luxury goods, and they don't fit in with the festive atmosphere, so there are naturally few people coming."

"If it doesn't open for three years, will it last three years if it opens?"

I glanced at him, this guy is very interesting. If it were another businessman, if he heard me ask this question, he would immediately complain that he is poor and that it is difficult to do business.

"Yes, sir, although it is an exaggeration, it is the truth."

"Then the things you have here are extremely expensive."

"Yes, but you can't buy it in other stores, and ordinary people won't buy it, so the price..."

"Tsk!"

I sighed secretly, wondering whether I should ask Akala to formulate an anti-monopoly law or something someday.

"By the way, sir, how did the purple-striped octopus taste last time? I'm not bragging, it's really a delicious ingredient."

As if he didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, the profiteer changed his tone and recalled the last welcome meeting with a strange emphasis.

"Purple striped octopus..."

I closed my eyes silently, a breath of vicissitudes of life emerged spontaneously, then slowly opened them and touched my forehead.

"It probably tastes pretty good, but it still hurts a little when I think about it, and it's bleeding."

"Even if you say so, my lord...could it be said that it doesn't suit your taste?"

Even though he looked like his everlasting squinting smile that could not be frightened by anything, the profiteer's face still showed some inexplicable expression for a while.

"No, I already said it's a pain in my forehead. To put it simply, it's a bloody head. Do you understand?"

"Even if you say so..."

"I told you everything, but I almost got a hole in my forehead, don't you understand, bastard!!"

I got angry. Do I need to lie to you? Thinking back to that purple-striped octopus, besides the forehead pain, I only had forehead pain. No matter what, it was forehead pain! !

Am I going to tell you in front of Linya and the others that besides the pain in my forehead, I also had a slight reaction to Feini's wet and sticky tempting look? !

"Yes...yes, my lord."

Although he was very curious as to why eating a purple-striped octopus would lead to such a tragedy as being stabbed in the forehead, the profiteer still stopped because the customer is God.

"Stupid Jie, stupid Jie, come quickly and take a look at this."

The happy voices of the little princesses rang out. Kajiel, who woke up at some point, pretended to be disdainful and turned her head away, but after a pause, she still couldn't help but control her curiosity. The small plush white wings flapped and left my shoulders.

"Look at this shell, it's beautiful."

Xilusi and Aikolu took out their handkerchiefs and wiped something on their white faces, while handing a delicate little shell to Kajier's eyes.

The smiling expressions when they looked at each other showed as much ill-intention as they did.

“Chiji~~~~”

Grabbing it from the hands of the two men at a very fast speed, Kajier looked at the shell in her hands curiously and opened it subconsciously...

"Ah, that's..."

Before the damn profiteer could finish his words, the shell cracked open, and a mouthful of ink spurted out from the inside, spraying Kajier's face all over.

"Hahahaha~~~~"

Xi Lusi and Aike Lu's clear laughter rang out. If you look carefully, they also have some ink on their faces that has not been completely wiped off. It seems that they have been hit before Kajie'er.

"Oh my, this is really... But please don't worry, sir, the ink will evaporate quickly, and it doesn't matter even if it splashes into your eyes."

"That's good." While wiping the face of the whimpering little angel, I looked at him and moved closer to him, making a smile.

"Is there anything difficult to dry?"

"Of course there is."

With a knowing smile, the profiteer's eyes narrowed into an arc.

"Yes, because ordinary people come here from time to time, the [dangerous goods] are placed at the back. If you want, sir, you can take a look later."

"This is……"

Sarah, who was good at using swords, as expected, her eyes fell on a [luxurious sword] hanging on the wall. After taking it off, she put it in the palm of her hand, looked at it, and then pulled it out with a clang.

Suddenly pulling out a dry salted fish, Sarah was so startled that she almost threw it to the ground.

"This is the Silver Swordfish Sword. Although the outer sheath looks like a sword, what's inside is just a salted fish."

Being experienced, I immediately explained it to Sarah.

I still remember the first time I visited the evil dealer's black shop, and the gift I wanted to take back as a [souvenir] to the Lar *** was this silver swordfish sword.

It's a pity that the first silver swordfish sword I bought was robbed of its beautiful and gorgeous scabbard by Evelina's hammer sword, and the meaning of the whole thing was lost.

Later, I bought it again and when I returned to the camp, it really surprised Larsan.

However, after being surprised, the three guys actually put the scabbard away with a smile, thinking and calculating that even if they took off the pearls and gems on it, they could sell it for a good price, and then handed the dried salted fish to Aunt Lisa and squatted for a while. Not to mention the soup, it tastes very delicious.

In the end, I didn’t know whether it was just a prank or a real gift, and I felt very depressed.

I gently turned Willas on my back, hugged her in my arms, and sat on another chair. Watching the girls happily playing with the strange and weird props in the shop, I smiled slightly and narrowed my eyes. .

"Yes, sir..."

At this time, another guy with professional squinting eyes narrowed his eyes even more, but he called out mysteriously next to him.

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes, sir, it's about what you said last time."

The dead profiteer glanced at the other girls and lowered his voice as if to make sure I wanted them to hear me.

"Last time?"

I tilted my head, a big question mark popped up in my mind, and then I clapped my hands.

I remember, indeed, when I was buying octopus, seeing how powerful this evil businessman was, I did ask him some questions.

"Could it be that there is the whereabouts of the Dragon Soul Grass?" I was excited and sat up from the recliner.

"This... the Dragon Soul Grass... is really too difficult..." The profiteer rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"That's another thing, the perfect diamond thing."

I lay back down a little disappointed, but it's okay, I didn't expect this guy to have such great powers. In just a few days, he helped me find out the news.

"Tell me what it is."

I glanced at the other girls and found that they didn't notice the movement here. After thinking about it, I decided to listen to it alone for the time being to see if it was reliable, so I lowered my voice and asked.

"Yes, sir. In fact, I only received the news yesterday..." The other party understood and lowered his voice.

"The king's treasure?"

"Yes, my lord."

"You mean you want me to go treasure hunting?" I looked at him speechlessly.

"Yes, sir." With a smile, the other party replied unchanged.

"Okay, how are you sure that there must be a perfect diamond inside?" I couldn't help but sigh in disappointment again, and asked again, cheering up.

In fact, the Alliance has a lot of information about these mysterious places like ancient treasure points and ancient tombs.

To take a more recent example, when we were helping the Horadric tribe out of trouble in the first world, didn't Dia and I explore the Horadric tomb together and fight the projection of Duriel inside?

After killing Duriel's projection, follow the passage where it appeared and come to an underground magma world. The altar and gate seen inside are actually a place where treasures may be hidden inside.

In the Dark Continent, human history alone has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the history of the elves is even longer, so there are many mysterious places left behind that look very mysterious and seem to contain treasures.

However, this is just a "maybe", there is no guarantee that it is not the tomb of a strong man, or a place where demons are sealed, with a terrifying seal trap set inside.

Therefore, even with the strength of the alliance, they would not dare to touch these places easily before getting accurate information. God knows whether a demon king will be released, or a magic trap will be triggered directly, and an explosion will blow everyone away.

Moreover, the Mages Guild is also very busy. Even if they know where treasures are sold, they may not be able to find time to hunt for treasures and solve puzzles.

"Yes, sir, we naturally have our own channels, please rest assured." There was a hint of seriousness in the eyes of the profiteer.

"If it was just such a piece of news, or even a treasure map, the child would naturally not dare to make a deal with the adults. Therefore, in fact, originally, vague information like this should not be revealed to the adults first to avoid any surprises later. We have lost our credibility, but we seem to be nervous about meeting you, so I can't help but tell you first."

Saying this, he showed three fingers.

"Yes, three months, my lord, only give me three months. I will definitely give you information that you think has transaction value."

"Okay, three months, no problem."

I counted. After the God’s Birthday, it seems that I will help Arturia find the fragments of her lost artifact set. Then, for information about the Horadric Cube, I might have to go to the Horadric tribe. After all, , this box known as an auxiliary artifact also has an unknown attribute and many weird synthesis formulas. It seems too wasteful to just use it as a microwave oven to synthesize some rejuvenating potions.

Time seems to be fully arranged, three months just flies by, just wait.

And when the time comes, even if I get some useful information from the dead profiteer, I will first ask Akala to use the power of the alliance to help me take a look and confirm whether it is indeed worthwhile to go there.

I always feel uneasy in every sense of the word for a quasi-tragedy emperor like me to go hunting for treasure, just like Pandora’s treasure box.

After getting a piece of information from the evil businessman that was vague enough to dissuade people from having any expectations, we then left the store. Of course, it was inevitable that this guy would take another bite out of our wallets.
