Chapter 3181 The Tao Is as High as the Demon Is as High as the Demon

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

"You're saying... the exchange item... no, it's the dragon named Grandpa Ebit, who likes this kind of [garbage]?"

After the evil dragons Lena and Aikarai took out the so-called [garbage] they collected, I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, and then showed a confused expression. It felt like two dragon girls were fighting with me. What a big joke.

"Hey, if I remember correctly, Grandpa Ebit has been particularly interested in these [garbage] recently. I hope his interest has not changed." Aikalay nodded with certainty.

"Its interest...well, it's really strange." The corner of my mouth twitched, and I picked up one of them casually. It was a mask with colorful patterns painted on it. If you stare at it carefully for a long time, a kind of soul will be sucked into the mask. The feeling, to describe it in one word, is weird.

Then... his eyes fell on the second item. It was a messy doll. It looked horrifying and exuded an inexplicable curse. There were also various other things that couldn't even be named. In short, it just highlighted one Partiality and curiosity.

"Meow, I thought I could put it to use. I have a lot of strange collections here, but I am not interested in collecting these strange things. I have encountered a few in the cemetery before. Every time Every time he sees me, he always walks around and doesn't dare to get even half a step closer. I always feel that if I touch him casually, I will be cursed."

Seeing how strange the collecting fetish brought out by Aikalay and Dragon Rena was, Feini shuddered and hid behind me. She couldn't tell that there were times when this little fake girl didn't dare to seek death.

"Go, don't talk nonsense." I was so frightened that I quickly threw down the mask and clapped my hands, fearing that Feini, the crow's mouth, would be right.

"These are not ordinary strange [garbage], they have unknown and strange energy attached to them. Grandpa Ebitt is keen on studying these recently, so he can take advantage of them. If he doesn't hit something he likes, he can usually only come up with something of equal value. In exchange, those guys who tried to make a lot of money from the shrewd Grandpa Ebitt ended up suffering big losses."

Aikalay explained tactfully. In other words, she probably wanted to tell us that the dragon named Ebit was a profiteer. It was good not to be fooled. It was very difficult to fool the other party.

"When will Grandpa Ebit rekindle his interest in antiques, famous paintings and other sundries? Then he can make a lot of money. Didn't he plunder a lot when he renovated the Holy See Hill?" Evil Dragon Lena also joined in. , this sentence made my eyes light up.

Indeed, although the Holy See Mountain has been occupied by hell for tens of thousands of years, those hell monsters have no taste at all, so there are a large number of rare items left in it. In addition to those destroyed by monsters, there are also many complete ones, all of which have been destroyed. We have settled in. Unfortunately, in today's troubled and turbulent Dark Continent, these antiques and famous paintings are of no use at all. If they can be exchanged for useful materials, it will be a very cost-effective deal.

"When does it spark interest in that stuff?"

"I don't know. Grandpa Ebitt's interests are very broad and changeable. Maybe it will be a few years, maybe a dozen years, or even decades or hundreds of years."

The evil dragon Lena shrugged helplessly at me. Considering the dragon's long lifespan, it's best not to expect too much from this kind of thing.

"That's right. Don't be too greedy. By the way, how about we change it when the time comes?"

"On the day before departure, we will leave immediately. Even if the Dragon King discovers our actions and wants to regret and impose more restrictions, we will have already left Dragon Paradise by then. He should not be concerned about this. It’s only right to go out of your way to pursue and hold you accountable for small things.”

Aikalay showed a confident smile and seemed to have understood the Dragon King's psychology. No wonder she didn't tell me this until now. It seemed that she not only wanted to surprise me, but also wanted to choose the trading time carefully.

"If it's the day before, then let's do it tomorrow. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. What do you think? Especially you, Aikarai, do you have enough time to sort it out?" Thinking of the more than a thousand books that Aikarai has not added yet , I couldn’t help but feel cold sweat for her.

"Hey, ten is enough. Let's just follow your Excellency Wu Fan's decision."

"We have no objection, and there's nothing to deal with." The trio of maids nodded in unison.

crystal? Her opinion doesn't matter.

"Is everything alright over there in Qiaxi?" After thinking about it, I looked at Aikalay with concern. The barbarian girl had been hiding in her room reading a book for the past two days. Should I stay a few more days to give her more time? Watch some.

"It's enough. Qiaxi has already dabbled in most of the basic knowledge of dragon forging. To go further, she has to study and explore by herself. Otherwise, excessive knowledge will not only not broaden her horizons, but will further constrain her path. .”

It seemed that Aikalay didn't pay much attention to Qiaxi who was sitting in the room reading a book, but in fact he knew her current situation very clearly. He immediately concluded after hearing this, she looked really heroic and capable like a big sister.

"But it seems that Qiaxi still doesn't want to put down the book." My eyes fell on the door of Qiaxi's confinement room, and I said in confusion.

"Please leave it to me. I believe that with Qiaxi's intelligence, he should understand. Besides, if you really encounter something you don't understand in the future, won't you still have me? Come back and [borrow], as long as it's not [borrow] ] There are too many and they can be returned in time. I don’t think any clan members will find out, and no one usually reads these books.”

Aikalay made a gesture of hissing at us that could only be understood, making the word "borrow" seem extremely mysterious.

"I believe you, Aikarai, let's make this decision."

"Hey, did you ignore someone else?" Evil Dragon Reina tugged at me unhappily.

"Who else? Is there anyone else?" I pretended to be confused and looked around.

"Oh, me! Do you want to ignore my opinion?"

"You? Have something to pack?"

"have."

"what?"

"you!"

"Then let's fight for a while, ho ho!"

On the afternoon of the next day, led by the evil dragons Lena and Aikalay, we came to what they called Grandpa Ebit’s dragon nest. We looked up and saw an arched wooden sign at the entrance of the cave. Although the words on it were complicated, , it’s so crooked that I can’t understand it at all, and I don’t know which era and which race’s language it is, but the gold coin pocket pattern carved on the left and right lower corners of the wooden sign is the common language of the whole world and the universe.

After arriving at Dragon Paradise, I felt a familiar feeling for the first time. I cheered up and followed behind me into this so-called hidden dragon store.

"Oh, aren't these little Aikarai and little Reina? Welcome."

After passing through a slightly dark corridor, the front suddenly lit up, as if we had passed through an invisible wall. We stepped into a huge cave, about the size of two basketball courts, and the walls and floors had obviously been repaired. The masonry is polished, the luminous pearls on the arched ceiling, and the magic lights hanging on the walls make this rotunda look extremely bright.

What is more eye-catching than the Night Pearl are the dozens of doors surrounding the entire hall, and the little old man standing behind a semicircular counter in the center of the hall. It is this person, or this dragon, who makes the sound.

An old man with a cane and a slight stoop came out from behind the counter to greet him. He had a kind and honest face with a faint sad expression on it, as if he was often angry, just like the elders of the novice village in most games.

Profiteer - Based on my years of experience and intuition, the moment I saw this old man, an alarm went off in my mind.

"It's a profiteer, profiteer, meow. Cousin, please be careful, meow." Feini also used her many years of experience as a wanderer to make a judgment, and came over to remind me quietly.

"It's okay, Aikarai is here." I gave everyone a reassuring look, stopped silently, and watched Aikarai and Dragon Reina greet the little old man.

"Grandpa Ebit, don't blame us for coming to see you now."

"How could it happen? You guys can come, but my shabby little shop has already turned into a splendid place."

After saying a few words of greeting, Ebit spotted us standing behind us and stepped forward to greet us with a warm smile.

"Aren't there a few distinguished guests here? Please come in. I hope you'll forgive me for the poor hospitality in the shop."

Such warm and kind words surprised us and made us feel flattered. This was the first time we met such a kind dragon after coming to Dragon Paradise.

"Be careful, don't be deceived by Grandpa Ebit. He disowns all his relatives when doing business, and even the Dragon King dares to trick him." When the dragon businessman Ebit led us to sit down, the evil dragon Lena said quietly to us.

Dare the Dragon King cheat? We were frightened when we heard this sentence. Looking at Ebit's aging and hunchbacked figure, we couldn't help but raise our gazes, as if we saw the terrifying soul of a profiteer from this back.

"To tell you the truth, Grandpa Ebit, the reason we came here this time is actually to do a business with you."

"Really? Really? Is there anything you like in the store? That's really great. I don't know which category you want. Although the store can't say it has everything, it doesn't let you down. Guests have been disappointed.”

As soon as the word "business" came out, the aura of the dragon Ebit immediately changed. Although he still had the same charitable and miserable expression, no change could be seen on the surface, but you could feel that he seemed to be a different person.

"What we want is not weird and [valuable] things, but the equipment of mainland adventurers. Grandpa Ebit, you must have a lot of them, and you won't [use] them at all. You might as well take them out and show them to us." .”

The evil dragon Lena seemed to be speaking carelessly, but in fact she had hidden bargaining methods. It was hard to tell that she still had this skill. Could it be that bargaining was a woman's innate skill?

"Is it the equipment of mainland adventurers? You asked the right person. I have indeed collected a lot of them, and they are not valuable things."

Ebit actually smiled and agreed, "Damn it, did we make a mistake?" Is he really an honest, honest, upright and generous businessman? !

After staring at Ebit for a few times, I quietly took another look at Aikalay. The gentle and wise smile on her face did not change at all. I was not surprised at all by Ebit, but I clearly felt that from her The inexplicable aura exuding from his body and the aura from Ebitt were forming a fierce battlefield between dragon and tiger in the sky.

The war between the strong woman who has been in business for a long time and the profiteer who hides his knife in his smile has begun.

"It's just that, even though they are worthless things that no one wants, they can't be given away for free. You also know my principles and won't embarrass me, right?"

"Of course, Grandpa Ebit, we will deal with you according to the rules, but you can't bully us, who are younger."

"Hahaha, how dare you, how dare you, if I do this, will your father chase me around the dragon's nest for three to five years?"

Ebit showed a sincere and frightened expression, which made us laugh without saying a word. Just kidding, you are someone who dares to deceive even the Dragon King, how can you still be afraid of the father of the evil dragon Lena?

"Then what do you plan to exchange for?" The kind eyes swept over us. I coughed a few times and quickly took out the strange things that Aikalay and the others gave me, for fear that they would be in the inventory. I was cursed when I stayed there for a while. It was Feini who said some scary things and made me suspicious.

"Oh, these are...not bad, not bad, exactly what I want recently, um...let me take a look...let me take a closer look...oh~~~It turns out this is it, it's really good, you can collect it So much, it must have taken a lot of effort.”

Although he is a profiteer, as Aikalay said, Ebit is also a researcher. When he saw these strange things, he was immediately attracted to them. He casually picked up one of them and observed it carefully and repeatedly, as if no one else was watching, and murmured. He muttered to himself, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Seeing this, Aikalay and Leona looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Before coming, what they were most afraid of was that Ebit would change their interest. These [garbage] would no longer be able to attract him.

"Grandpa Ebit, what do you think? Can these things get into your eyes?"

"Of course, of course, you must have inquired about my recent hobbies and interests, so you collected these things, right? You are really thoughtful. Of course, these little cuties can be traded."

Putting down the cursed doll in his hand, the giant dragon Ebit straightened his stooped waist and smiled with a wrinkled face.

"I wonder what good things I can exchange for it?"

"Grandpa Ebit, you also know that we are currently supporting the mainland. We can get common equipment and items ourselves, so don't disappoint us too much."

"Oh, I wonder what you want?"

"For example, a divine weapon, or a divine weapon or something like that."

"No, no, it won't work if it's a divine weapon." Ebitt shook his head resolutely.

"Why?"

"Little Aikarai, little Lena, if it were normal times, it wouldn't matter if I gave you one or two artifacts, but it wouldn't work if they were used to support the mainland. Lord Dragon King has already explained it, and I don't The method violates.”

"Tsk, I got a head start." Seeing that the Dragon King blocked the shortcut without leaking, the evil dragon Leina gave a fierce cut, with a sinister look in her eyes, as if she was going to do something ill-intentioned to the Dragon King.

"As expected of the Dragon King, our little thoughts have been seen through." Aika Lai also sighed deeply, sighing that the old is still the hotter...
