Chapter 187 Buy, Buy, Buy (Part I)
Appearing before Ferdinand, Fang Xingjian said, “I want to spend all of my money within a day to buy equipment, medicine, and various useful supplies.”
Ferdinand was stumped for a moment. However, seeing how serious Fang Xingjian was, he did not say much and just nodded and said, “Alright, follow me.”
Therefore, Fang Xingjian followed Ferdinand through the streets of Kirst. After making many turns, they eventually arrived at the opening of a waterway and continued to make many turns after entering it. About five minutes later, Fang Xingjian could hear loud sounds of commotion.
Ferdinand smiled and said, “Kirst is the Great Western Region’s bright jewel and has acc.u.mulated countless goods from the western coast. However, many of the goods are prohibited for sale by the government and thus, there is the black market.”
Fang Xingjian pa.s.sed by him slowly, controlling and sending out the breeze-like sword Qis. Countless people in the underground black market shuddered, feeling as if the temperature had dropped.
The bustling market also appeared in Fang Xingjian’s consciousness.
Ferdinand asked, “So how about it? What do you want to buy first?”
“Weapon. I need a sword.” Fang Xingjian patted the normal steel sword on his waist and said. He had long wanted a good sword but had not come across any. He only used ordinary steel swords which would shatter easily if he exerted more strength.
Ferdinand smiled and said, “Follow me.”
As he went through the crowd, Fang Xingjian’s brain kept on recreating the scenes he had pa.s.sed by. The place was filled with martial arts pract.i.tioners holding onto swords and sabers. Amidst the densely populated alley, there were all sorts of stalls.
Some of them had various meats and leathers of unknown sources.
Some of them were filled with various bottles containing medicinal ointments and drugs.
Some of them were even selling live ferocious beasts. There was a huge wolf which was four to five meters long, a bear about the size of a tank, and a large gorilla with three heads which kept on bellowing toward Fang Xingjian as he pa.s.sed by.
Various novel items that Fang Xingjian had never seen before were now constantly appearing before him, causing him to be a bit surprised.
In the past, he had focused on cultivation and did not have spare money with him. This was the first time he had come to a black market like this.
However, Ferdinand appeared to be very familiar with this place. After making a few turns, they had already entered an area filled with sounds of blacksmiths at work.
Looking toward the many roadside stalls with people blacksmithing, casually placing the weapons about, Ferdinand said in a soft voice, “These small stalls only sell ordinary weapons that are not intended for non-Knights. I’ll bring you to a good place which sells Empire’s Divine Weapons.”
Fang Xingjian nodded and followed Ferdinand to the entrance of an enormous shop. It resembled a huge stone building that had been embedded into and carved out of the walls. Before he could even get close, he could feel a surge of heat gus.h.i.+ng toward him, as if he had arrived at the mouth of a volcano.
Upon entering, rows upon rows of weapon racks could be seen. Fang Xingjian casually picked up a longsword and could see a cold gleam s.h.i.+ning with faintly imprinted grains. With just a quick look, there would be a sharpness piercing his eyes. It was obviously extremely sharp.
This was a longsword that had achieved the peak of cold weapon [1] workmans.h.i.+p. Although it was not an Empire’s Divine Weapon and had no grade, it was much better than the longsword Fang Xingjian had.
Ferdinand led Fang Xingjian with great familiarity and called out, “Come out and receive your customer. A big customer has arrived!”
