Heart of the Castle

Chapter 101 The Unexpected Guarantor
Tricky guy to deal with.

Li Wei thought, these dwarves' fighting power is not very high, but their poisoned arrows are a very troublesome ability. Everyone, including himself, will lose most of their lives once they are poisoned.

Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly brightened. Li Wei looked up, and even though he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

The furnishing inside this house is extremely gorgeous, and it is a dramatic difference from the old and ordinary outside.Only faded old wood and moss-covered stones can be seen from the outside, but inside there are pure gold statues, colorful carpets and luxurious furniture with aristocratic style, and the ground is completely paved with white stones. There is also a red carpet with dark gold texture on it.

Li Wei secretly compared this place with the Viscount Lane's mansion. What surprised him was that, obviously, this house, which is not very eye-catching from the outside, is more luxuriously furnished than the Viscount's mansion!
Of course, the room where Puck is in is the most luxurious room. The first thing that catches the eye is an exotic gold-painted wooden door, which seems to be a different world from the outside world: the floor is covered with soft Persian carpets that can bury the feet; Exquisite wall lamps made of seven-color crystals burn clear oil in the wall lamps; incense burners on both sides of the wooden door burn precious spices, bringing a sense of dreamlike unreality.

When he came here, Feng Delik, who seemed a little casual along the way, couldn't help but lighten his steps, and then lightly knocked on the gold-painted wooden door.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, and was finally broken by a soft voice.

"Come in, my friends."

The door opened, and a fat guy wearing a loose silk robe half lying on a luxurious big bed showed an unsuspecting welcome smile, and opened his fat arms towards everyone.

"I am the owner here, a black market dealer, my friends call me Old Puke, welcome."

Obviously, it was not easy for the fat man to get up, so after his welcome speech, several of his servants greeted Li Wei and the others. These servants were all dressed in dazzling silk robes, and they ran like a gorgeous storm.

Levi and the others sat down on a few high-backed chairs. Here, whether it was Donner, Brebe, or Sir Grace, they all seemed a little reserved. Only Levi looked normal due to the experience brought by another soul. .

As for the Crusader Swordsman, although his intelligence is indeed higher than that of ordinary alchemy warriors, it is still too demanding to expect him to negotiate business.

Puke obviously had a certain understanding of the purpose and identity of Li Wei and others. When the youngest Li Wei replaced Donna and expressed his intention, he did not show much surprise.

"You are right, young friend." After listening to Li Wei's words, Puke smiled very kindly and said: "As long as friends have needs, they will always get what they want from old Puke. Weapons and equipment It has always been in short supply, and it is even more difficult to get it after the catastrophe. Of course, you can still make some things here at Old Puke, but I have a small request, and I hope you can meet it .”

"Is it a guarantor? Mr. Breebe is willing to guarantee us." Levi said in a calm and sure tone as much as possible, as if the old dwarf could really be a qualified guarantor.

Puke pursed his lips, spread his fat hands and said, "Guarantor? Oh, please don't mind, it's just to reject some unqualified customers. If you can meet my little request, I'm willing to be a guarantor." Sign your name on the column."

"So, Mr. Puke, what is your request?" Li Wei didn't feel happy about Puke's surprisingly easy-going words, but had a premonition that the trouble this time might not be too small. .

"Of course it is..." Puck said here, showing a sincere smile, looking at the old dwarf Brebe sitting next to Li Wei, speaking in a soft and frightening voice. "What kind of conditions did you use to convince this master blacksmith with a head as stubborn as a rock to let him work for you?"

This sentence made Brebe move his body uncomfortably on the chair.

Donner patted the old dwarf's shoulder reassuringly, and quietly held the other hand on the handle of the ax under the cloak; beside him, Sir Grace's shoulders also shrugged slightly, and the silver fir longbow was already in his hand. hands.

But Li Wei didn't move, and neither did the crusader swordsman behind him.

"It's nothing, just a sword and a promise to forge as much as you want." After a few seconds of silence, the young knight servant said lightly.

"A sword?" Pook's slender eyes were almost narrowed, and he leaned back on the soft cushion, the smile disappearing from his face.

"Young friend, Old Puke's question is very sincere. If you have to deal with such a small question, then you are not enough friends."

"Mr. Puke, my answer is completely true, and I don't mean to perfuse you in any way." Levi replied.

Obviously, the young man's frank answer made Puke think for a while, and then the fat black market boss sat up from the bed, opened his slender eyes as wide as possible and said: "I can also give Master Brebe the same treatment as irons , As for long swords or battle axes, you need as many as you want, why can't this master work for me?"

"Because you are a pig that eats people without spitting out bones." The old dwarf muttered to the floor in a low voice.

"Because the sword I took out is better than any of yours." Li Wei stood up as he spoke, lifted his cloak, took out a four-foot sword that shone with silver light, and pointed towards Pu Ke performed a knightly etiquette.

A sharp light flashed in Puke's eyes, he patted his hands lightly and said, "It's a very interesting sword, can you show it to old Puke?"

"Of course, Mr. Puke." Li Wei didn't look at Brebe, who was winking, and held the silver alloy sword in his hand, and handed it to two servants who ran over quickly.

Puck took the big sword from the hands of the servants, and first glanced at it roughly, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously also seeing that the craftsmanship of this big sword is not sophisticated at all.However, it was obvious that the black market boss had more eyes than that. When his finger flicked the blade lightly, the smile froze immediately.

"What kind of metal is this?" Puke asked softly, but he didn't want to get an answer from Li Wei's mouth. After the question came out, he laughed.

"It's really a precious sword. I know it. I know it. If I were Master Brebe, I would give up these things because of this sword." The fat black market boss smiled brightly, At the same time, he handed the big sword to the tall and thin man standing beside him. "Come on, Feng Delik, you also come to appreciate this sword."

Feng Delik seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he took the big sword with both hands and looked at it carefully.

"Okay, my young friend, you have fulfilled old Puck's little request, and now old Puck will meet your request. You need enough weapons to arm 100 men, which is a challenge for any black market dealer , are impossible to be satisfied. Only the old Puke can do it. But you should also know that when the disaster strikes, weapons and food are called the two hardest currencies. It's cheap." After Puck handed the great sword to Fon Derick, he immediately brought the topic to what Li Wei was concerned about.

"We can pay with gold coins or gems." Levi said simply.

"Gold coins and precious stones, ah, these are very valuable things." Although Puke was smiling, there was a hint of teasing in it. "But that was before the catastrophe came. My young friend, even if you take out ten gold coins, you won't be able to exchange for the simplest set of equipment."

"Then, we can still come up with some food." Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"Some food? You really surprised me, young friend." Pook rubbed his fat fingers, a little surprised. "For many nobles, food is more valuable than weapons and equipment. If you can pay the bill with food, of course there is no problem. But I have a better proposal, the sword."

As Puke said, he pointed to the great silver alloy sword in Feng Delik's hand.

"How about old Puck exchanging this sword for a weapon that can arm a whole hundred men?"
