Chapter 16 Sherlock

This earring was snatched by Du Yuqi from Bai Shura. It could not be destroyed even by the force of destruction, so Du Yuqi felt very curious and took it with her. The master of Sunan Shield has been dealing with flames and metals all day long and has been immersed in it for decades. His experience in this area can be said to be extremely rich. It is so strange that no one can recognize its material and origin. They are all in Tsk-tsk.

In the end, even Jace, who was obsessed with studying the Shadowless Sword, was alarmed. He narrowed his red eyes and looked at the earring for a while, then shook his head and said:

"I don't know this thing either, but fortunately this is during the expo. If anyone can know its origin, it must be the old drunkard Sherlock. This guy has lived for hundreds of years and has a wide range of knowledge. He is also treacherous, greedy, and has an extremely weird personality. We originally had business dealings with him, but we had a bad relationship with him due to an incident a few years ago, so we can no longer use our connections to help you. "

"But one thing you have to remember is that although Shylock is extremely treacherous, he has a smart mind because of the gods' pranks. Therefore, this guy is very abiding by his promise. As long as you succeed in getting him to make a promise, this guy will definitely It will be done."

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

***

About an hour later, Du Yuqi appeared in the black market on the west coast.

Just like where there is light, there must be shadows. Behind the prosperity of the West Coast, there must be a large number of black and gray industrial chains. These industrial chains are concentrated in the black market, and the location of the black market is far away from the most prosperous West Coast at this time. The straight-line distance to Shell Street is less than two kilometers.

What was different from what Du Yuqi had imagined before was that the black market did not appear dirty and messy, or that it was full of conspiracies, conspiracies, and crimes. It looked like a neatly cleaned street with gurgling streams on both sides. streets.

About every six meters on both sides of the street, there is even a diamond-shaped flower bed, which is planted with Bellemare bluebells------which is also the city flower of the West Coast---it is in flowering season at this time. The large leaves sway slightly in the night wind, and the bell-shaped blue flowers emit traces of fragrance in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy while walking on the road.

On both sides of the street, there are many elderly people waving their fans contentedly, chatting and drinking the local barley tea, or playing animal chess in small and small groups, looking leisurely and contented.

The only thing that seems a bit special is that there are more shops on both sides of the street, and they are all brightly lit. Some shops have no customers at all. Even in the shops with the best business, there are only sparse customers and no business. It seems quite deserted.

The steward who led the way for Du Yuqi looked at Du Yuqi's slightly surprised expression and told him in a low voice that the black market has existed since the establishment of the West Coast, and now it has an effective system. The black market that appeared in front of Du Yuqi at this time, In fact, it is already a secondary market. The black market at the bottom is traded in the dark sewers, which is the most primitive and bloody area.

To put it simply, the black market in front of Du Yuqi at this time is equivalent to a regular vegetable market. The goods entering it have been processed once in advance, while the muddy vegetable field and bloody slaughterhouse are in another place. , that’s why it looks so organized.

After reaching the intersection, the steward whispered a few words to Du Yuqi, and then he left. Du Yuqi looked up and looked ahead, then pointed at a shop with lights on in front and walked over. The sign of this shop was very distinctive. It was made of something like a broken can box, lid, etc. They were hung together and made a rustling sound when the wind blew.

It looks like a poor man's version of wind chimes, which makes you almost laugh out loud.

After Du Yuqi opened the door of the store, she found that the furnishings inside were similar to those of a grocery store, but the goods on the shelves were strange and strange, including shrunken human heads, organs soaked in jars, and the bones of a dead bird. It was reconnected, with dark eyes.

At the same time, there was an indescribable smell in the air, which was quite disgusting. There was a gurgling sound behind the shop, as if something sticky like rice soup or paste was being stewed.

Du Yuqi knocked on the table and said loudly:

"Is there anyone?"

Soon, a Goblin walked out from behind the shop. He had dark skin and was small. He looked very young, but he had a pair of big nostrils. When he raised his head to look at people, the big nostrils became particularly obvious. The little goblin looked at Du Yuqi with a look that was anti-thief, and said warily:

"What are you doing?"

Du Yuqi said:

"I heard that you can pawn things here, so of course I came to pawn."

The little goblin walked into the counter, carefully inserted the bolt next to it, then tapped his big nostril and said in a thick nasal voice:

"Bring it here."

Du Yuqi took out a Terra stone from his arms and said:

"A family heirloom pearl."

The little goblin took it and took a look, his eyes immediately showed surprise, but on the surface he forced himself to show an expression of indifference, threw the Terra Stone on the table with trembling hands, and said with a slightly excited trembling voice:

"No...it's not worth anything! Pearls are cheap, one, no, half a gold coin!"

When the child spoke, his big nostrils opened and closed, and he would sniff out mucus. Du Yuqi also found it quite funny and said:

"Oh, that's it. You really have a conscience. The last family was only willing to give me ten silver coins."

The Goblin child's eyes suddenly widened, and he was obviously very remorseful. He felt that he was not a profiteer enough and that he was not aggressive enough in lowering prices. However, he heard Du Yuqi say:

"Well, half a gold coin is too little. If you add eight silver coins, I'll sell it to you."

The child immediately secretly laughed in his heart. The bargaining skills of the guy in front of him were really bad. He could be called a standard fat sheep. He puffed out his big nostrils and said:

"No, no! At most four more silver coins."

This kid from the Goblin tribe originally thought he had caught the bottom line of the person in front of him and successfully completed this hugely profitable business. Unexpectedly, Du Yuqi couldn't help laughing in her heart, and then solemnly shook her head and said:

"Forget it, forget it."

Saying forget it, he walked outside. The goblin child was immediately dumbfounded. Why didn't this fat sheep follow the routine? He immediately said anxiously:

"Hey, hey, hey, come back, come back, I'll give you eight more silver coins."

Du Yuqi shook his head and said:

"I pawned this family heirloom pearl just to find someone to ask a question, but now it seems that your prices are so cheap, it's impossible to tempt anyone, so I might as well just give him the pearl as a reward. , maybe he can help me answer this question?"

The Goblin child said doubtfully:

"Who are you going to see? What do you want to ask for?"

Du Yuqi said:

"Of course I'm going to see the famous Master Jace. I want to ask for advice about an earring in my hand."

When Du Yuqi said this, he immediately heard a "pop" sound inside, as if something was broken, and then a figure rolled out like a strong wind and roared:

"Since when did that bastard Jace become famous?"

What came out at this time was an old goblin who looked a little rickety. www.cm His hair, beard, and eyebrows were all white. Although there were wrinkles on his face, he didn't look like he was old and decayed. Instead, he was angry. He was very clean, and the thing he was wearing was also a patched leather armor, but the old man took care of himself very well, especially his eyes were bright, and he looked very wise.

Obviously, this was the old Goblin Sherlock. He glanced sideways at Du Yuqi and said:

"Isn't this the priest Du who has recently made a big deal for the church? What did he do when he came to my Sherlock's shop in the middle of the night? He also deliberately said that the Terra Stone was a family heirloom pearl. This was to pretend Do pigs eat tigers?”

Du Yuqi was stunned. He didn't expect this old guy to be so well-informed, so he said simply:

"Mr. Sherlock is joking. I came here this time because I really have something to ask Mr. Sherlock for help."

Sherlock sneered:

"Haha, even a powerful force like the Holy Church has suffered a big loss from you. How many bones do my old man have that can withstand your torture? Come on, hurry up?"

After saying this, Sherlock started to chase them away, making Du Yuqi dumbfounded and explaining again and again. However, the old man seemed to be very stubborn. He kicked Du Yuqi out with three strikes, five divided by two, and rejected him.

Faced with this situation, Du Yuqi went back to talk to Lori and others. Lori said that there was nothing he could do. After all, the old Goblin was famous for his weird temper, and he was also very cunning and wanted to fool him. Most of the time he ends up being deceived and loses his pants.
