Chapter 506: Night Luminous Pearl (2/2)
”How fortunate. Someone less selfish might have left something for others to benefit, but that is quite a stupid way of thinking. These things might not have been useful for you when you took them, but aren't they extremely useful now?”
Neither Lan nor Xue Wei was saints. They would do what needed to be done for their own progress, and while they would never hurt those who were kind to them, they did not care about others.
So why leave a whole treasury for others? That was simply stupidity.
”The merchant is selling all kinds of goods,” Lan continued. ”If I don't remember incorrectly, the armory within the underground palace had quite a few death swords that had been baptized in blood. Why not take one or two out, and trade them for a carriage?”
Xue Wei pondered for a bit, but then he shook his head. ”The caravan is already moving to the capital, and we have already gotten a lift the whole way. They said that there are teleportation formations in the cities, so do we really need a carriage?”
It was not that Xue Wei was stingy, he just didn't see a purpose in buying a carriage, and when he argued so reasonably, Lan nodded his head, but moments after he shook it.
”It is true that we don't need it right away, however, who knows where we have to go in the future. If we cannot get a carriage at that time, we will have to spend too much time walking.”
Xue Wei began thinking about it. He had not thought that far ahead, and he slowly nodded his head. It made sense. ”Then let us talk with him,” he decided after thinking it through.
It was no problem to store it, as he had both his own storage treasures, but also the ghost storage treasures. As such, it was just replacing a few swords for a carriage.
The two, Xue Wei and Lan on his shoulder, went to meet the middle-aged ghost. When he saw them, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. They had the aura and appearance of ghosts now, and he had to admit that the disguise was truly well made.
”We are leaving tomorrow morning,” he said. ”You can do whatever you want to do until then.”
Xue Wei nodded his head and looked at the goods that the merchant had placed on the table. He did not understand any of them, they all seemed extremely foreign, and he was curious about their purpose.
”I was wondering if you are interested in selling a carriage,” Xue Wei asked, as he looked at the many exciting gadgets.
”A carriage?” the middle-aged man frowned. ”I can sell you a carriage, but the price is quite high.”
Xue Wei nodded his head in acknowledgment. That made perfect sense. Then he waved his hand, and three black swords appeared in his hands.
