Ryan's Sword

Chapter 31 No.30 Scene Treasure Hunting

The Golden Oak Leaf Trading Company arrived in Louisburg before nightfall. When the caravan passed through the thick and solid Peristol city wall, the big businessman Keir, who was on tenterhooks all the way, almost cried with joy in the carriage.After finding a suitable hotel and settling down, the big fat businessman announced a three-day holiday for all members, and they had a party all night long!

For such a decision, the caravan guards and adventurers were all grateful to Dade, wishing to invite a professional choir to praise the wise decision of the boss.Especially for adventurers who have already completed the employment mission, for them, a grand and free celebration feast is not something they can enjoy after every mission.

That night, at the invitation of Victor and several guard captains, Ian also had a few drinks.However, even though the hospitality was hard to turn down, he still insisted on not drinking another drop of wine.In the early morning of the next day, when everyone in the caravan was still sleeping in a mess in the hotel lobby, Ian had already got up, washed, put on brand new armor and quietly left the hotel.

Walking on the streets of Louisburg, Ian felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart.After passing through several familiar streets, he has already followed the bustling flow of people into the market street where adventurers gather.

As an ancient city that has experienced thousands of years of trials and hardships, in addition to the elegant and ancient charm soaked in the bones, Louisburg has all the facilities that a large city should have.

Whether it is a commoner or an aristocrat, whether it is a local resident or a foreign traveler, everyone can find what they need in this city-the southern urban agglomeration headed by Louisburg can be called the second largest economy of the Ryan Empire. Naturally, it is impossible for a trade zone to be in vain.

As far as the group of adventurers is concerned, Fort Lewis has also opened an exclusive trading district for them.

This neighborhood dedicated to adventurers is set up between the secret area of ​​Louisburg and the old city. It was originally a civilian residence in the old city. Later, with the businessmen's trading operations and official support, it was transformed into an area dominated by bungalows. small trading block.Every morning, when other areas of Louisburg are still sleeping, this small area has already entered into a lively scene that can last a whole day in advance.

This neighborhood is called Market Street by the adventurers of Louisburg. The shops and street vendors in it trade commodities that are closely related to adventurers.Some are rare treasures obtained from adventures, some are medicines and props necessary for adventures, and what's more, some adventurers will put the monsters hunted in the wild on the street, divide them up on the spot and sell them at a price.It is conceivable that when a large number of commodities and a huge flow of people are combined, what a grand occasion this small block will be!
Over time, the city lord of Louisburg specially added important facilities such as an officially funded auction house and an appraisal office to this block, and this market street exclusively for adventurers was officially established.

Countless adventurers in different costumes shuttled through the streets, and the roadside vendors shouted hoarsely to every passing passerby, as if the goods on their stalls were all treasures from the dragon's lair; The boss spared no effort to recommend his products to several hesitant young adventurers. According to his description, those rare-level weapons that have been simply enchanted have almost become epic weapons in the hands of heroes. It seems that as long as they are displayed, the enemy In the pharmacy across the street, two blushing adventurers negotiated the price with the young and beautiful apprentice girl at the counter for a long time, and they didn't know whether they were fancy After looking at the medicines placed on the high platform, he still fell in love with the apprentice girl on the counter.

Scenes of very familiar scenes fell in Ian's eyes. Although the surrounding environment was full of noisy and noisy sounds, his heart was still full of relaxation and comfort.

Such is the life of an adventurer!

Ian was like a drop of rainwater falling into Xuanguang Lake, and quickly disappeared in the crowd.But behind him, those eyes that had been staring at his back were not in such a relaxed mood as he was.On the contrary, the few people who somehow lost their goals were full of confusion and depression.

"Damn it, does that brat belong to the loach family? I watched him walk into that blacksmith shop, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Could it be that he can still get into the ground?"

A thin adventurer with shawl hair clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice.If Ian saw his appearance, he would find that this person was the adventurer who was knocked unconscious by the hilt of his sword back then.

"Boss Sith, what shall we do now?"

"Yeah, there are so many people in Market Street, we have lost him, what should we do next?"

"..."

Regarding his brother's question, the skinny adventurer named Sith became more and more gloomy.Why isn't he scolding his mother in his heart, the street is full of people, and he doesn't know where to find that nasty guy.

"Stop arguing!" Sith raised his hand and gave the guy who yelled the loudest a shudder, and said, "I was going to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but now this situation has no chance." He bit Gritting his teeth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Now, we can only find the help of 'Dire Wolf' and let him send his men to search the city, so that we can catch that bastard!"

"Boss is wise!"

"Shut up," Sith glared at the sycophant, and then said, "Although that dire wolf guy has some friendship with me, he can't do it for us for nothing. Listen, this time it's for Shame on our 'Gold Rush' squad, so all costs go to everyone!"

"Ah, no!"

"Boss Sith, I haven't warmed up to the commission that fat man sent me..."

"Boss, can we go find that kid by ourselves?"

The corner of Sith's mouth twitched, and he suddenly turned around and shot, "Papa Papa" gave a burst of chestnuts, and cursed: "It's about the team's reputation, none of you want to run away!" Immediately, he sneered and said: " Besides, that kid has a lot of oil and water on him! I heard that he received a special reward from the caravan, and when he is caught, all the golden oak leaves that I spent will have to be retrieved from him!"

Sith and his gang discussed how to deal with Ian without mentioning it. Ian himself discovered these four figures secretly following him when he left the hotel.To Ian who had a small map, the behavior of these guys was as conspicuous as fireflies at night.In fact, this is also a mistake that low-level fighters often make. They will concentrate on the target when they implement tracking, as if this can ensure the greatest success rate.However, if the instructor of the military reconnaissance battalion or the thieves career instructor were present, they might tell them that if they can't even restrain their killing intent at the very least, then it's better not to insult and track a job that requires extremely high technical content.

Turning to get rid of the eyes behind his back, Ian found a shop selling adventure props and walked in.

"Good day, customer!" The boss behind the counter is a middle-aged man with a mustache. He stood up enthusiastically and complimented: "You are really discerning. This small shop just entered a batch last week. The new product not only has guaranteed quality, but also has sufficient supply, you can see that the trap over there is made of..."

"Okay, no need to introduce," Ian raised his hand to pick out the props he needed from the shelf, put them on the counter, and asked, "I've picked it out, how much are these?"

"Um..." Ian's selection speed was obviously beyond the boss's expectations. His shrewd and somewhat cunning eyes rolled around, and he said, "You have selected three products in total, one activated magic rope." , a skinning knife, and a pair of alchemy fish gills, worth twelve golden oak leaves and three silver oak leaves in total! However, since you are the first customer of our store today, you only need to pay twelve gold coins You can take them away!"

"Oh, so good?" In response to the sincere smile on the boss's face, Ian also responded with a big smile, and he said with a smile: "Goodbye!"

"...Wait a minute, customer, please wait a moment! This store has always been genuine and honest, and you can't find such a conscientious price no matter where you go!" Seeing Ian walking away, the boss took two steps like a rabbit. He turned out of the counter, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a dignified manner: "Looking at your professional attire, you must be a seasoned adventurer, right? In this way, as long as you introduce friends to our store for consumption in the future, you will be a good person for these three items." Gold coins, you can take them away!"

Ian's footsteps paused, and the boss thought he was thinking about it, but in the end, he still responded with those two words——

"goodbye!"

"Don't, don't, customers, let's discuss!" The boss dragged Ian with a bitter face and said: "The shop hasn't opened yet today, and you are the first customer. If you leave, the Goddess of Wealth won't be here today." Take care of me!"

"What's none of my business?" Ian curled his lips, "There are used black marks on the activated magic rope, three scratches on the handle of the knife, and the pair of fish gills, the dust on them has not been cleaned. How dare you offer ten golden oak leaves for three treasures?"

Facing Ian's doubts, the boss smiled awkwardly, and said, "Um... Isn't this a small profit..."

"Fuck off."

For such a profiteer, Ian rolled his eyes, immediately ignored him, and prepared to go to other shops to have a look.

"Wait a moment!!"

The traitorous businessman held Ian tightly, and shouted loudly: "Guest, you can't leave! I didn't lie to you, I am a loyal believer of the goddess of wealth, no matter what, please let me complete the first business today." Ah! Tell me, how much is it?!"

"..."
