Heart of the Castle

Chapter 102 The Transaction and the Subsequent Pitfalls

Boss Puke's proposal stunned Li Wei and the others.

This bid is obviously too high, greatly exceeding Li Wei's calculations.

The value of weapons and equipment sufficient to arm 100 men was a considerable sum even before the catastrophe came.But now that the disaster is coming, a few weapons may represent the boundary of life or death.So even with a sufficient supply of Castle Heart, Li Wei still prepares for the purchase of weapons and equipment that can be used by 100 people as a relatively long-term task.

The great sword was exchanged for the incomparably precious King's Tears because of the dwarf master blacksmith Brebe's obsession with silver alloys, but Boss Puke is obviously not such a person, he paid so much for this great sword, the reason Where is it?

Li Wei's hesitation made Brebe's heart move.

According to his own thinking, the old dwarf seriously overestimated the value of the silver alloy sword. To him, it was a treasure that he would not hesitate to exchange for the priceless King's Tears.So when Puke said to exchange 100 sets of ordinary equipment, the old dwarf was the only one who felt that the deal was not very cost-effective.

"120 sets, and if there is one less set, I won't change it." Brebe said with a big grin, twisting his beard. He felt that at least 10 sets of equipment could be won for Li Weiduo.Of course, Puck was not so easy to talk to, so the old dwarf cheered up and was ready to show his bargaining skills for hundreds of years.

Pook tapped his knees with his fingers, a sharp light flashed in his slender eyes.Brebe, who had dealt with him several times, knew very well that this was the signature action of the black market boss in a somewhat unhappy mood. The old dwarf twirled his beard nervously, replaying in his mind the reason for asking for an increase in the number of equipment , ready to find a place to refute from Puck's forthcoming tirade.

However, just when Brebe was ready, the corners of Puke's mouth suddenly turned up, and then the black market boss let out a burst of cheerful laughter, and said loudly: "Okay, it's 120 sets of equipment, we'll make a deal. "

Brebe almost bit off his own tongue, in fact, if the old dwarf's tongue was not so tough, he must have succeeded in doing so.Looking at the fat man who was laughing, Brebe couldn't hide his surprised expression at all.

Is this still the biggest profiteer in the black market in Dayan Village, the boss Puke who eats people without spit out bones?Sure it wasn't a dwarf in disguise?

Levi, Donna, and Sir Grace also showed incredible expressions. Donna couldn't help but want to say something, but Levi touched his arm lightly with his hand, and said in a very low voice: "Donald Sir, don't make extravagance."

Seasoned ex-adventurers figured it out right away.

Whether it is 100 sets or 120 sets of equipment, there is obviously a huge difference in the value of a silver alloy sword.And even if this silver alloy greatsword can really be exchanged for these things, according to the habit of black market merchants, it should be worth every penny.

Puck's approach seemed very unusual.

At this time, abnormality often represents danger.

"Okay, Mr. Puke, let's make a deal." After stopping Donner from speaking, Levi happily raised his hand, pointed to the big sword still spinning in Feng Derick's hand and said, "You pay us 120 sets of weapons and equipment, this great sword is yours."

Puke's laugh turned back into a smile, and the black market boss leaned back his fat body, smacked his tongue and said, "Of course, it should be paid for with one hand. But, my young friend, you should know that even It's the omnipotent old Puck, and it's not like there are 120 sets of equipment in the underground warehouse at any time."

Li Wei frowned slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's not that simple."

"Mr. Puke, do you mean that you can't take out so much equipment for the time being? If that's the case, you can also take out half of the equipment first, and this great sword belongs to you. We will come again next time." When the time comes, you will pay the other half." Li Wei thought about it for a while, and made a suggestion that made the old dwarf almost beat his chest and feet.

"My little master, Lord Li Wei! You actually believe in the reputation of a big profiteer in the black market? Is this the hall of promise of the dwarf king?" Brebe's distraught voice sounded from Li Wei's ears. It was obvious that the old dwarf was already very Excited.

Regarding Li Wei's suggestion, Puke didn't even think about it for a second, and waved his hand very boldly and said: "How can that be done? Old Puke has nothing to say to his friends. He has always done as much as he can, so he must do it." How nice. 120 sets of equipment, right? Old Puke will definitely collect them within a day and hand them over to you."

Before Li Wei could say anything more, the big boss of the underground black market clapped his hands, and suddenly a middle-aged man dressed in decent clothes appeared in front of the door and bowed deeply to Puke.

"Boss Puke, what are your orders?"

"These are all good friends of mine. You arrange it and take out the best room to entertain them." Puck said to the middle-aged man in a soft voice.

"As you wish, Boss Puke." The middle-aged man nodded, then turned to Li Wei and the others, "Several, please follow me."

"Isn't this level of kindness beyond the limit?" Li Wei and the others looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

However, it seemed too impolite to refuse so, so after a brief eye contact, Li Wei was still the spokesperson, and expressed his thanks to Puke.

Seeing the backs of Li Wei and others disappearing at the door, Puke's eyes became menacing, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately after. "Von Derick." He called the tall and thin man by name, and the tall man immediately put down the big sword in his hand and walked over quickly.

"Boss Puke, this sword..."

"This sword is irrelevant. You can send it to Mage Omega later and ask him to appraise its value. Now, you must remember every word of what I want to tell you..." Pu Ke bent his head by Feng Delik's ear, and his voice gradually became low.

The middle-aged man led Li Wei and the others to two adjacent rooms, asked them what they needed, and then left.And just when the sound of the middle-aged man's footsteps disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Sir Grace whispered impatiently: "There is definitely something wrong with that guy named Puck."

"It's up to you? Grace, if a profiteer doesn't want to bargain, there is only one possibility." Tang Na sneered.

A light flashed in Li Wei's eyes, "He doesn't want to pay the bill at all, does he?"

"More than that, he probably wants to get some money from us, don't forget those gems." Brebe also joined the discussion.

"It seems that this is not a safe place, should we find a way to leave now?" Sir Grace looked at the gorgeously decorated, but definitely quite vulgar room, and suggested somewhat uncomfortable.

"Puke won't regard this place as a battlefield, unless he doesn't want this lair anymore." Brebe grinned. Although the old dwarf's teeth were a little yellow due to the tobacco, they were definitely strong. Incomparably, the smile just now is even more reminiscent of some kind of vicious carnivore.

"I guess, the so-called delivery of equipment tomorrow is where Puke will deal with us. It seems that we can rest in peace tonight." Levi looked at the luxurious room behind him, feeling the exhaustion of the day gradually pouring into his body .

"Lord Li Wei, although your judgment is very reasonable, we still can't be too lax. That's good. We take turns to rest in the same room, and at least half of the people are guaranteed to be awake in each time period."

Donner's suggestion made everyone nod in agreement. Sir Grace and the Crusader Swordsman chose the first half of the night, while Donner and Brebe chose the second half of the night. Although Levi also wanted to participate in the night duty mission, he was rejected by everyone. Unanimously opposed, but finally persuaded.

Donner's reasons for persuading Levi are very legitimate.

"Master Li Wei, as a spellcaster, if you don't get enough sleep, your combat effectiveness will drop significantly tomorrow."

Of course Li Wei understood that his ability to cast spells had little to do with sleep, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was definitely an unreasonable situation, so he readily agreed to go to rest.

Sir Grace and the Crusader Swordsman sat on both sides of the door, adjusting their weapons to a position where they could be easily taken out.Downer and Brebe followed Li Wei into the room, took off all the soft quilts on the bed, and spread them on the floor. The three of them lay down with their clothes on, and soon fell asleep.

Just when Li Wei and the others turned off the lights in the room, a tall and thin figure approached silently, quietly lurking outside the room where Li Wei and the others were.The black shadow waited vigilantly for a while until he heard nothing, then he slowly took out a slender wand from his waist, pointed the wand head with a faint bronze luster at Li Wei The waiting room!
