Chapter 448: Seeing Shy Walk Again

POSTED ON AUGUST 28, 2023 BY KEN

Fang Linyan said,

“Of course I have it.”

Then he took out the necklace.

The shopkeeper called someone again at this time. This person was wearing a green official robe. The shopkeeper introduced that he was an archive cataloger. He should be here to witness.

Archive Cataloger Xie said after hearing Zhu Xiaojian’s name,

“I remember seeing this name in the government notice last year or the year before. It was said that he colluded with evildoers to kill the imperial court officials. His crime will never be pardoned. I didn’t expect him to die here.”

Speaking of which, Archive Cataloger Xie eagerly asked if there was any reliable evidence that he killed Zhu Xiaojian, such as his head, because the prisoners who were reported on the government notice were all vicious and important criminals.

If he could catch one, there were unwritten rules in the officialdom that it would be regarded as a great achievement by default; he could at least be promoted to 1 level higher.

After hearing that there was no one, Archive Cataloger Xie could only leave in regret.

Since Fang Linyan could explain the origin of this thing clearly, and he could also link it to an important criminal who had been wanted by the government, the shop was willing to do business with him.

Finally, the shopkeeper brought the proprietress to the side and said a few words, then the proprietress came out and said to Fang Linyan with a smile,

“My guest, you really brought a lot of items this time.”

At this time, Fang Linyan felt that the proprietress’s smile was a little more sincere and less scheming. It was obvious that his business was profitable.

But it didn’t matter to him. I don’t mind letting you earn, but the key is what can I get. He smiled,

“The beastkin king Zhu Ganglie is very vicious. It’s really a blessing that I escaped from it alive.”

Having said that, he sighed and said emotionally,

“This adventure deeply made me feel that my experience is still not enough. I plan to go back to practice for a few years before coming out.”

“If it’s difficult for you, proprietress, then I’ll just take these things back as gifts for my family and my fellow apprentices.”

The meaning of Fang Linyan’s words was: I don’t have to sell them.

If your price is too low, then I would rather take it back home.

The proprietress laughed even more enthusiastically,

“Yo, don’t worry, Mage Fang, our store has always been very fair. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to run the shop in our county for 60 years and still have a prosperous business.”

“The price that Shopkeeper Su set for this batch of goods for you is 7,900 taels of silver. I’ll round it up for you, 8,000 taels of silver! What do you think?”

As soon as Fang Linyan heard the word “silver”, he immediately expressed a lack of interest.

Can this damn silver be eaten? Can it be drunk? Can it be used to kill people?

Proprietress was an experienced businesswoman. By looking at Fang Linyan’s expression, she knew that the other party was dissatisfied.

She originally thought that this business would lose profit due to her ancestor’s face.

But she didn’t expect this person brought a red-white mushroom, which was the main ingredient of the popular aphrodisiac medicine recently.

As everyone knows, if the medicinal materials were associated with the word aphrodisiac, the increase in price was unreasonable…

Not only that, but there were several treasures in the bag of jewelry.

If they were to sell on the counter, it would be 10 times the huge profit.

So proprietress could only say with a bitter face,

“If you are still dissatisfied… Anyway, you are the customer introduced by my ancestor again.”

“Haiz, how about this, we will not earn you money on this trade. 8,500 tael of silver, what do you think?”

Only then did Fang Linyan realize that the proprietress got it wrong, so he said simply,

“To be honest, my master’s birthday will be in more than half a month. I have to find a way to give him a decent birthday gift.”

“My master regrets the most in his life is that he never got a real enchanted weapon.”

“He spent half of his life savings to buy it specially, but he was cheated. It has become his lifelong regret.”

“I really don’t lack silver. If you have a high-grade enchanted weapon, then I am more willing to barter.”

Hearing what Fang Linyan said, the proprietress immediately realized the key point and breathed a sigh of relief.

But she secretly thought: Just tell if you have a request. I thought you took a fancy to my beautiful appearance.

However, she still said with a warm smile,

“Oh, then you really shouldn’t leave if you are looking for an enchanted weapon.”

“You also know that through the relationship of our ancestor, so we are able to get some good things.”

“But I’ll be blunt that the enchanted weapons aren’t really cheap…”

Fang Linyan said,

“I know. Let me see the goods first.”

So the proprietress took Fang Linyan directly downstairs, then she brought him into a… bedroom?

Fang Linyan was taken aback, but looking at the swaying waist of the proprietress in front, he suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable.

And the proprietress walked to the side of the bed, turned around, and smiled, which made Fang Linyan’s heart throb violently.

Then she actually stretched out her hand with a sweet smile and grabbed…

The lampstand beside the bed.

After a slight twist, the lampstand was turned half a circle.

Immediately afterward, the cabinet beside moved into the wall, revealing a passage leading to the underground.

On both sides of the passage, there were two terracotta figurines that seemed to be just for decoration.

However, Fang Linyan could feel that there was a dangerous force lurking in the figurines, which was obviously not as harmless as it appeared on the surface.

At this time, the proprietress introduced while walking,

“The high-quality enchanted weapon collected in our shop has attracted thieves to covet it. Although they failed to get it, it sounded the alarm for us.”

“So there must be someone on duty at the entrance every night, and there are also traps everywhere.”

Fang Linyan said,

“As it should be.”

This passage leading to the underground was not long, only about a dozen meters away, then they entered a basement.

There were several torches on the 4 walls, illuminating the inside brightly.

It could be seen that there were 6 enchanted weapons in the center. After being illuminated by the fire, they emitted a strange brilliance, which did not look like ordinary items.

Fang Linyan walked over. With a glance, he first ruled out the 4 enchanted weapons.

Because the suffixes of these 4 items bore the words “cannot be carried out of this world”.

Another enchanted weapon was actually a strange weapon called Emei Dagger.

The shape of this thing was very strange like a weapon formed by gluing the front ends of 2 broken arrows.

It also looked like a short spear with a spear head on the back end, looking like a double-headed dragon.

When in use, the weapon was held in the middle.

Although the attributes of this weapon as decent, needless to say, just by looking at the appearance, he needed to master Melee Cold Weapon Mastery to use it, otherwise he might hurt himself before hurting the enemy.

He confirmed his guess after looking at the attributes.

This thing not only required the Melee Cold Weapon Mastery, but it also had to be LV5!

For example, Fang Linyan even sold the previous Bavarian Blood Spear. Why did he need this for?

Therefore, this could only be his backup option.

What really caught his attention was a pair of dark, thin-soled fast boots.

Different from the other glittering items, it just lay quietly on the shelf, seemingly quite low-key.

Not only that, but Fang Linyan found that when he walked toward the pair of boots, the proprietress frowned slightly involuntarily.

It seems that if I take a fancy to this thing, she will be a little troubled.

Therefore, he took a closer look at the boots, and their attributes were quickly displayed on the retinas.

…..

Looking at this pair of shoes, Fang Linyan pointed at them and said to the proprietress,

“How can I trade it?”

The proprietress really showed embarrassment as she said,

“Uhm, customer, how about changing another enchanted weapon?”

Fang Linyan said,

“No, only this one. From the first moment I saw it, I felt that we are destined.”

The proprietress smiled wryly,

“To be honest, these shoes are not actually ours.”

“A customer made the raw material and came here to ask our mage to consecrate it.”

“It’s just that after the consecration, this customer hasn’t been showing up for 3 months.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Since he hasn’t come for 3 months, he probably died outside.”

“What’s more, the shoes have been stored here for so long, even the storage fee is enough to cover the price of the shoes.”
