Palin had not been influenced by the Chinese culture, so of course, he had no such ideas as Sui Xiong did. However, he was a devout believer. His god’s demand would be followed honestly by him even if it did not meet his own wishes.

So after a poor persuasion, he went to ask the price, ready to buy that delicate long dagger with enchantment.

However, after asking the price, even Sui Xiong who didn’t care much about money could not help but feel his tentacles ache.

“This ‘Soul of Ice’ is worth 70,000 gold coins,” the attendant at the arms shop said casually.

Palin was astonished. Even if he was somewhat mentally prepared, he was petrified by this appallingly high price.

After a while, he could not help but ask, “If it is just a long dagger with enchantment, why is it so expensive? I have seen advanced weapons sold at tens of thousands at most.”

The attendant looked at him, sneering and didn’t bother to explain. He only snorted with disdain and went to wipe a long knife which was bright and sharp.

He thought, What a rustic bumpkin he is! He has never seen the outside world and there are infinite numbers of them as much as the skeletons in the Ashes Woods. The manager commanded that I not sell the “Soul of Ice” to whoever could not see the real mystery of it!

Palin was awkward. He intended to ask more questions but was embarrassed to be so shameless. He walked out of the arms shop unhappily and wanted to go to a hotel for rest.

But after he walked a few steps away, a thin but neatly dressed child stopped him.

“Wise mage, do you want to buy something good? Be sure to go to the grocery store called ‘Good Vision’!”

Judging from the child’s grinning face and skilled marketing style, Palin thought that clearly, he was waiting outside of the arms shop to market to dejected adventurers who found their soul hurt.

“Mage, you don’t come to Dragon-roar town frequently, do you?” asked the child like a natural socializer. “People don’t go to that ‘Dragon Slayer Sword’ shop if they are familiar with Dragon-roar Town because it rips people off!”

Palin nodded immediately, feeling that this kid was right. Seventy thousand gold coins for a mere long dagger with enchantment! Why didn’t they just rob him!

No, robbing wasn’t as profitable as ripping people off! That was seventy thousand gold coins compared to the fifty thousand gold coins that the Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves got in five years!

These days, for the preparation of the Village of Pioneers, they entered the treasure cave of Ruhr.

Rhode’s skills were no worse than Ryan’s, and he tore the traps along the way effortlessly. In fact, the traps were very dangerous and powerful, but they were rather old and extremely obsolete types. Rhode even repackaged several of the ones in better condition and took them to the grocery store of the Association of Thieves to sell them. Their price was not too low, and they actually had sold one of them recently.

A total of 50,000 gold coins were sorted out in the treasure cave of Ruhr, with some remaining antiques and magical items which were either strikingly marked or dangerous, making it difficult or unsuitable to sell them. The best strikingly marked one was a beautiful set of jewelry with the emblem of the angel of light wings that symbolized the royal family of the Kingdom of Holy Angels. That sign made Rhode sweat, and, especially, when he counted the angels’ wings on the sign, his face turned white. The representative dangerous one was a piece of very hard phalange enveloped by black magic power. When Satan saw this he took a few steps back because he was scared, and he almost backed into a rock on the wall.

The first treasure was a collection from the royal family that was the most radical and most aggressive in the world today and belonged to a Prince in the third generation. The latter was the soul box of an evil Lich, which could return to the world again after being killed and take this piece of phalange as its coordinate.

If the former was made public, the Kingdom of Holy Angels would definitely send masters to the four northwestern towns to not only capture this piece of jewelry but also to kill the entire family of the base businessman who had tarnished the honor of the great royal family; the latter was not subject to being made public, but who knew when would the Lich suddenly resurrect?

Although the set of jewelry and soul box were all above fifty thousand gold coins in terms of value, as long as one person was not crazy, they would not think of selling them. Of course, even if the seller was mad, they had to find a buyer who was also mad and was not afraid of death!

Although Palin was born in a businessman’s family, he was far from rich and powerful. In his opinion, 50,000 gold coins was a dazzlingly huge sum of money, but how did the d*mn “Dragon Slayer Sword” arms shop price that long dagger with enchantment at 70,000 gold coins? The attendant even had an attitude of “not buying it is your loss, and I don’t care about it,” which really made him angry.

At the moment, hearing the child fiercely accusing the shop, he suddenly felt that he had found someone with the same thought, so he expressed his approval incessantly.

“That black shop only attracts people with several weapons with enchantments, such as ‘Soul of Ice’ and ‘Elder Tree’… but the prices are unreasonably high and are at least several times more expensive.” The child was obviously an expert or at least the person who taught him these words was an expert. “As for the ‘Dragon Slayer Sword’ hung on the central pillar of the shop… Ha-ha, that is a joke! For people who can use that sword well, can they not kill dragons with any weapon? Or for strong people able to slaughter dragons, would they fancy the humble knife?!”
