Cthulhu descends

Xiyue was going to Tianbo Mansion to do business, Li Xie wanted to go to a crowded place to make some friends, and he was not familiar with the place, so he followed Xiyue to Tianbo Mansion,

The two walked together for a few days, and during the chat, Li Xie gradually got to know Xiyue,

Xiyue was originally the only daughter of a palace lord. When she was five years old, due to family accidents, her clansmen were killed by her enemies. She was rescued by a housekeeper, and she has been in exile ever since. Not high, in order to make a living, he took Xiyue to cheat and steal, almost doing all kinds of evil,

When Xiyue was 15 years old, the steward passed away due to illness, leaving Xiyue alone. Fortunately, she knew a little martial arts, and with the evil things she learned from the steward, her life was considered worry-free. In a flash, it will be ten years ,

Li Xie can see that Xiyue is a kind and gentle woman by nature. Life forces her to be indifferent and ruthless, and she will trust Li Xie so much. Apart from the long-term loneliness and her kindness in nature, the most important thing is that Li Xie also realizes that Yes, Xiyue thought that he had a brain problem, that Li Xie was mentally retarded, so she was not wary of Li Xie,

Li Xie didn't care about this, and was happy to be taken care of by Xiyue. In order to find Xiaoan and Mengna, in the nether world where they were unfamiliar, Li Xie could only hold Xiyue's thigh first, and occasionally show mental retardation. why bother

"Brother, what are you always looking at. Please search on Baidu , read the latest chapters of popular novels first!"

On a carriage heading to Tianbo Mansion, Xiyue and Li Xie sat in the carriage. Xiyue looked at the book in Li Xie's hand, and took out two books to read when Li Xie was free, expressing her curiosity that she should have.

Li Xie combined the yin and yang formulas, put them in the space ring, and said: "This is a martial arts secret book. I heard from my mother that you can fight little monsters if you memorize it well."

In the past few days, Li Xie has not practiced, but has been reciting the two books "Yin Yang Jue" and "Heaven's Knowledge". What he is afraid of is that these two books will be lost.

After all, this is Li Xie's reliance in the Netherworld,

Xiyue laughed: "You still fight little monsters. If you want to practice martial arts, my sister will teach you when you are free. Don't memorize any books. Those are useless."

"Okay, but I still have to memorize books, and learn martial arts from my sister." Li Xie looked innocent: "Sister, Tianbo Mansion is coming soon."

"It's almost there, and it will be there in one day."

Temple House,

This is the second-level governing unit in the Nether World. In fact, it is like the country of the Gods Continent. The Tianbo Mansion governs seven sects and 36 gates. The scale is about the same as the empire of the Gods Continent. The imperial capital is called Tianbo government,

It is said that Xiyue came here to send something to a certain faction. The task is simple and the commission is very generous. It has to be said that there is also a mercenary guild in the Nether Continent. One of Xiyue's identities is a mercenary. In order to make money, in addition to stealing and cheating, she also often takes on the job of mercenaries, and her purpose of making money is to strengthen herself, hoping that one day she can take revenge,

The two found a hotel called "Tianlong" in Tianbo Mansion to stay. Xiyue gave Li Xie some copper and silver coins, and then told Li Xie to say, "My sister is going to do something. The time is not yet determined, but it will not exceed three days. God, you will be living here during this time, don't run around, wait for my sister to come back, you know."

"Okay, if my sister can't see me when she comes back, you can open this thing to the sky, and I will come back." Li Xie handed an improved Thunder Cannon to Xiyue,

Xiyue looked at the stick-like thing in her hand, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It's called fireworks. It can shoot light towards the sky. It's my toy. Press here to launch it."

"Well, remember, don't run around, don't cause trouble, and be careful to hurt yourself."

"Ok."

Watching Xiyue go out, Li Xie waited for a while, then walked towards the hotel lobby. There were many people in the lobby. Li Xie lowered his head in a low-key manner, but his peripheral vision kept passing by the faces of the diners in the lobby. I see whom I can make friends with,

To make friends is simply to make friends, just to meet by chance, and it seems too abrupt to make friends without a chance, and you have to consider who the other party is. For Li Xie, everyone is a stranger at this moment. Finding a friend But it's harder than I imagined,

"Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction." Li Xie walked to the door of Tianlong Hotel and said to himself: "As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts, and it may be difficult to find someone who is willing to help, but if you have money, I can at least establish a preliminary power system, as long as I don't disclose too much, hiring some people to help me can solve my current dilemma, and I also need to find a painter to paint portraits for Xiaoan and Mengna, so that it is convenient to find them."

With cares in his heart, Li Xie finally had a preliminary goal, but the money Xiyue gave him was pitifully small, at least in Li Xie's view, it was too little.

Only ten copper coins, five hundred silver coins,

In the Nether Continent, copper coins are the higher currency unit, one copper coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, while gold is the lowest currency unit, one thousand gold is equal to one silver,

Except for the poor, gold coins are almost eliminated currency,

Therefore, the valuable things on Li Xie's body are what Xiyue gave him, enough money for an ordinary person to live for ten days. However, Li Xie still has jewelry,

"It's been a long time since I've bothered about money." Li Xie laughed at himself, and went to the street to find a jewelry store, planning to sell one or two pieces of jewelry.

Tianlong Hotel is not the center of Tianbo Mansion, it is an ordinary hotel near the civilian area. It is obviously unreliable to find a better jewelry store in such an area, so Li Xie casually asked the servants on the street, and then Walk towards the center of the city,

When I came to the center of the city, it was really bustling. The shops with exquisite facades spanned the entire street. Most of the people passing by on the street were dressed in expensive clothes. Even Li Xie’s black brocade clothes made of high-quality fabrics would not fall into the crowd. It's just brighter.

Of course, Li Xie didn't care about these things, he just found a jewelry store that looked very simple and elegant, and was located at the intersection of the street, walked into it,

He did not make a wrong choice, this jewelry store is called "Qizhen Pavilion", and it is the most high-end jewelry store in the central area of ​​Tianbo Mansion.

Entering it, a servant greeted him with a warm smile on his face: "Guest officer, please take a look casually. Our reputation is guaranteed. All jewelry is of the highest quality in Tianbo Mansion, and there are no fakes. Whatever the guest officer likes or has any questions, don't hesitate to ask." You can ask the little one to serve you."

The servant only made an invitation and didn't follow Li Xie. Li Xie was very satisfied with this, at least he hated going shopping, and the shop assistants followed him all the time, as if you were going to be a thief.

The Qizhen Pavilion is not very big, and inside it is a lobby of about [-] square meters. When you see the stairs, there should be several floors above. The lobby is divided into several areas by screens, and the wooden frames fixed on the ground are placed. Kind of treasures, a few servants are cleaning and cleaning the treasures,

There wouldn’t be many customers hanging out in a high-end jewelry store. It’s noon now, and Li Xie is the only customer in Qizhen Pavilion, so that the middle-aged man at the counter, who looks like the shopkeeper, propped his chin and dozed off.

Li Xie went straight over, knocked on the counter, woke up the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I'm here to sell jewelry, and you Qizhen Pavilion will not accept it."

Probably annoyed at Li Xie for waking him up, the shopkeeper's face was not so beautiful, and his tone was quite cold: "This pavilion only sells high-end jewelry, we don't accept ordinary jewelry, of course, if you have any rare treasures, we will also consider it." Give you a good price."

The implication is to accept it,

Li Xie took out a pair of purple jadeite earrings with a smile, and waved them in front of the shopkeeper: "Look, how much are these earrings worth?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced, his eyelids were about to droop, but they opened suddenly, and said in surprise: "Royal purple, ho, this is the highest-grade purple jade, come, guest officer, talk upstairs, hehe, guest officer Don't worry, this pavilion has a reputation guarantee in Tianbo Mansion, and it is the property of the mansion owner, no one dares to fake and cheat, and of course they don't dare to deceive the guest officer, as long as the goods are good, they will definitely give the guest officer a good price."

It turned out to be the property of the owner of the Tianbo Mansion. No wonder such a high-end jewelry store has no thugs to guard it. It must be that no one dares to move. For those who dare to move, having thugs will not help.

Li Xie didn't care, although he went up to the second floor with the shopkeeper,

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the lobby, except that there are not so many screens to separate the space, but there is a picture of a tiger roaring in the middle to separate the two sides of the second floor. There are some treasures on one side, and a small living room on the other. The calligraphy and paintings and the potted orchids placed beside the coffee table make this small living room look antique,

The shopkeeper invited Li Xie to sit down, and said with a smile, "Could the guest officer give me the earrings next time?"

"Just look at it." Li Xie smiled and handed the earrings to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took out a magnifying glass, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Royal purple is very rare in purple jadeite, and even this pavilion does not have a piece of royal purple. This pair of earrings is exquisitely crafted. Graceful and magnanimous, rich and powerful, but it is also a superior skill. It is only made of earrings and looks luxurious. Changing it into a necklace not only makes the royal purple more restrained, but also can be divided into two, and the value is doubled. Good things, good things ah."

Li Xie only chuckled at the shopkeeper's admiration. He is the king of one party after all, and the things he owns are naturally high-quality goods, and the things he chooses to store in the interspatial ring are all high-quality goods. Can't make a small shopkeeper admire, even if Li Xie doesn't do it,

"Shopkeeper, let's see how much this thing is worth." This is Li Xie's real purpose.

Asked about the price, the shopkeeper suddenly looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I'm just a shopkeeper, but I have the ability to identify treasures, but I'm not a warrior, and I don't earn much. Right now, this pair of earrings can be worth 50 coppers, but I have news to give to the guest officer, which may double its value. You need to know that no matter how good the treasure is, it will be more valuable if there is demand..."

Li Xie narrowed his eyes. What this guy means right now is that he has a buyer, and he can also inflate the value of the pair of earrings.

"How much do you want?" Li Xie said bluntly,

"50 copper is the base price, and the higher part is [-]% lower."

"Well, it's quite reasonable." Li Xie smiled and said, "How can I be sure that you are not lying to me? This pair of earrings may cost more than 50 copper."

The shopkeeper said with some pride: "Although I am not a warrior, the jewelry store in Tianbo Prefecture can be regarded as Taishan Beidou. I say it is worth 50 yuan. The bid price of any jewelry store in Tianbo Prefecture can only be lower, and it cannot be higher. If you don't believe me, you can go to another jewelry store and wait for the price to be confirmed, then we can discuss this matter again, how about it?"

"Hehe, okay, I believe you, tell me what you know." Li Xie didn't bother to shop around, and judging by the shopkeeper's expression, he wasn't fooling around.

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Miss Seven of the house master's family wants a pair of earrings, and Miss Seven is unmarried, and there are countless noble sons who want to please her. It is conservatively estimated that this pair of earrings can sell for a million coppers, and we are working on it, and the guest officer only needs to collect the money."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, before Li Xie could respond, a servant came up: "Shopkeeper, Miss Seven is here."
