Chapter 7 Transactions (Part 2)

The heavy sword in front of me is about seven fingers wide and about two and a half fingers thick. It is inserted into the knife holder and can be as long as the waist and abdomen of an adult. It can be said to be heavy and large.

On the hilt of the heavy sword, there is a wind spirit magic array engraved. Once this magic array is activated, it can make the weight of the heavy sword lighter. There are several small thin buttons on the sword. Xiu Yi waved it casually and could clearly hear the sharp howling of the wind when it passes through the fine hole.

This is the usual practice of warriors, because some warriors' fighting spirit can make more harsh sounds through this fine hole. Those with deep fighting spirit can even directly attack the opponent's brain through strong sound waves, causing them to become coma or even die.

The sword also had some exquisite patterns, but they were all decorations and had no special function. However, this heavy sword seemed much more fancy. Xiu Yi noticed that even the brocade box used to place the sword next to the heavy sword was made of good fragrant wood, inlaid with exquisite enamel splicing paintings, engraved with heroes in ancient myths and legends.

"A good heavy sword, it's a pity for this Feng Ling magic array." Xiu Yi said lightly.

The warrior next to him clearly understood a little when he saw Xiu Yi waving the heavy sword as if nothing had happened. At this moment, he heard Xiu Yi say this, and walked forward and said, "Isn't this wind spirit magic array that makes this sword lighter and more agile, isn't it great?"

Xiu Yi smiled and said, "The power of a heavy sword lies in chopping, not straight stabs. Its weight itself is a way to increase the power of the attack. You are also a warrior, so you won't understand this principle, right?"

The warrior laughed: "That's true. Applying the heavy sword with a wind spirit array is actually equivalent to weakening its chopping power. He can only use the warrior's own power, and he can no longer use the power of this sword."

The middle-aged nobleman who came with the warrior laughed and said, "This kind of weapon is specially used for people like us who obviously don't know martial arts but want to show off. Some rich children sometimes need to show off their tyranny and domineeringness, and this heavy sword is the best way to express themselves. As long as they secretly activate the magic circle, they look like they are very powerful, and sometimes they can deceive many ignorant girls."

The middle-aged nobleman was also funny and had no intention of showing off. Instead, he explained in a self-deprecating way why the wind spirit magic array was engraved on the heavy sword, which made people have to feel good about it.

It’s no wonder why this heavy sword has put so much effort into making a big deal about texture modification. Even the sword box is so exquisite. Its meaning is itself a decoration.

The old man in the shop saw that Xiu Yi seemed interested in weapons and armor, and hurriedly said, "If the customer wants to choose weapons, we still have some good stock here."

Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi shook his head and said, "No, I just took a fancy to this heavy sword. It is very good. For me, it is very suitable."

"How do you sell this weapon?" he asked the old man.

"One hundred Jinweits." The old man replied.

This is by no means a cheap price. After all, this kind of weapon is sold to ignorant playboys, and this type of person is usually the least short of money.

"It's really a pity. I don't have that much money on me." Xiu Yi sighed and shook his head.

This is not surprising. Xiuyi is obviously wandering around with a playful attitude, and no one will carry hundreds of Jinweits with him while he is wandering. It seems that not many people will bring tens of thousands of cash when shopping, unless he is ready to buy some high-priced item in advance.

At that time, Clarice suddenly said, "Don't you still have those three bottles of potions? Anyway, it's useless for you to ask for them."

Clarice noticed that Shuyi's appreciation gaze brought to her was obviously praising her just right interface.

Sure enough, the old man wondered: "This guest, don't you plan to leave those potions?"

"Oh." Xiuyi replied casually: "To me, these potions don't make any sense. My fighting spirit was learned from my tutor. You know that many times, young people are more impulsive, and sometimes there will be some friction between young people from different families. I have suffered losses in this regard, so I learned some samurai abilities, but that doesn't mean I have to go to the battlefield, so I don't need them at all. As for these potions, it's purely because when I was collecting the accounts for the family, a guy didn't pay the money, so he could only use them to pay off the debt. Oh, that's really a prodigal son. He took out the most valuable things in his family, but only offset three hundred goldwitters. Before my family knew these three bottles of potions, I thought I could deal with them at will. Anyway, I just need to return three hundred goldwitters to the family."

Everyone understood what Xiu Yi meant. Obviously, a heavy sword that could be used to show off was more meaningful to him than a few bottles of top-quality potions. The old man understood why the other party was unwilling to reveal the producer's name.

Neither the party selling the potion nor the noble boy in front of him wanted this to be widely circulated. For this noble boy, if his family knew that he had secretly sold three bottles of top-level potion and fattened himself, he might be punished seriously.

The young man obviously did not intend to tell the truth, but his love for this heavy sword and the lack of cash made him think of selling the potion immediately. This was a great opportunity, the old man realized.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I guess you must be from a very prominent family."

Xiu Yi said seriously: "Doing such a thing will be a shame to the family's reputation anyway. Please allow me to keep my family secret."

Clarice was completely impressed.

She finally understood why Xiu Yi had to be so hypocritical before.

This little liar, he is indeed a liar! He used his love for the heavy sword as a reason to tell a lie that he "didn't want to tell", and then used this lie to cover up the loopholes that the producer could not be revealed, so that the shop could buy his potion with peace of mind without worrying about the source of the potion. And the same lie allowed Xiu Yi to keep his identity openly and confidentially without telling anyone who he was. He deliberately showed his aristocratic identity, which made the shop trust him more, but could not confirm his identity.

Clarice remembers someone once told her: a simple lie and wonderful acting skills can make a great fraud. On the contrary, even the clever trick of fraud, without sufficiently exciting acting skills, will only make her bankrupt.

This little liar obviously understood the truth. His lies themselves are not very clever. The point is that he interprets everything so naturally.

First, he used the method of evaluating the potion to attract the attention of people here, paid attention to his words, and then showed the potion to confirm their value and effect, but said he would not sell it, to arouse the desire in his heart, and finally showed his demeanor of a playboy and expressed his love for this heavy sword. He actually helped him accidentally, which made him naturally tell the lie he had prepared long ago, making everything as natural as flowing water, completely dispelling the doubts of the shop without leaving any traces of artificiality...

No wonder this bastard has to bring himself with him.

Clarice couldn't imagine who this teenager was? Not only did he possess the top potion, but he could also arrange a simple scam so perfectly...

Oh, this little liar is so skillful in scams. No wonder he could deceive his master so much and finally steal the alchemy items. Well, obviously, if the shop people knew the origin of these potions and their connections, they would probably contact the merchant named Keelly and eventually expose the fact that the boy was in Shanye City.

Clarice finally realized one thing: this handsome-looking boy had long been more mature than she expected. He was not only proficient in business, but also familiar with people's hearts. Although he was less than sixteen years old, in fact, his thinking was far more mature than that of ordinary adults.

At least he is much more mature than me, and he doesn't need to use superficial toughness to show himself. Clarice realizes this without regrets.

The next thing was much easier. The old man in the shop took two of the potions, while the middle-aged nobleman bought the bottle of violent potions for his warriors.

After obtaining a heavy sword, Shu Yiman took two thousand Jinweits away with Clarice.

Clarice's mood at this time had changed from regret and annoyance of refusing those three bottles of potions to indignation and dissatisfaction with Xiu Yi when he lied.

"You little liar, you pretended to be a noble and deceived everyone. You stolen these potions, but you sold them openly to the shop. If your former owner found that these potions appeared in the shop, he would definitely pursue them. I want to go to the city lord to sue you!" Clarice gritted his teeth and taught Xiu Yi a lesson.

"I guess what you really want to say isn't this, Clarice, how much do you need to get me to block your mouth?"

Clarice's eyes floated with charming light: "Oh, Fink, why did I never find you so cute?"

"Because you've known me for less than twenty days, Clarice, now tell me how much do you want?"

"half."

"This is impossible, I suggest you sue me. But before that, I will leave you first. Anyway, it's a life of escape, and it's nothing great to continue running."

"That's one third." Clarice changed his words readily.

"Dream." Xiuyi walked forward quickly.

"Oh, quarter, no more low. From today on, you don't have to do anything in the group, nor do you have to pay back the debt I had previously owed. You can stay with my girls until we arrive in Southwell together. Don't you think they are cute?" Clarice chased after him and said temptingly.

Xiu Yi tilted his head and thought, "If I say that I would not give you a redundant child besides those twenty-five Jinweits, are you sure you will report it?"

Clarice's expression was slightly dull.

Xiu Yi smiled and said, "Your character is not as unscrupulous as you do, Captain Clarice."

At that moment, the cunning disguise was removed, and Clarice shrugged helplessly and sighed: "Okay, you won, it's strange, why do you believe that I won't report you? Actually, I just want to borrow some money to use it. Do you know how much I regret rejecting these potions from you? You let me know that I am the number one fool in the world."

"I thought the suggestion I made last time can help you solve the money problem."

"Yes, but that can only help us rent a limited time venue. The troupe is too small and lacks some necessary props. The girls' clothes should have been replaced long ago, but now they are used for sewing. We must not let others see that. Casey's family is very poor, and she has to send a sum of money to go home every month to help her younger brother and sister; Anna's parents are ill in bed, and they also need her support; Daisy's family owes others a lot of money, only

It was interest that made Des breathless; and Lanti, who had always longed for a bracelet of her own, even the cheapest. Oh, I'm a very useless leader, my girls' lives a very bad life, but I can't take good care of them. So if anyone of them wants to leave, I never stop it... Your idea gave the singing and dancing troupe a livelihood, but cut off the girls' path, and I want to compensate them. But I can't afford so much money now."

Her voice was a little low, and she was whimpering, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Xiu Yi chuckled softly: "Okay, Captain Clarice, your tears touched me. I know you are telling the truth, but there is really no need to act so exaggeratedly... You are not as sad as you act. If you cry when you mention the girls' situation over such a long time, then you should have committed suicide long ago."

Clarice kicked Xiu Yi with dissatisfaction and looked at Xiu Yi with her womb tears: "At least you believe what I said is right?"

"Yes, I know you're not lying, but you're not used to being so sentimental, who has always been strong."

"Acting is my job." Clarice said with a smile.

Only at this time did the troupe leader reveal her charming nature. Xiu Yi looked at her carefully and realized that she was not very old. At her age in her twenties, she must have suffered a lot.

Shuyi placed the bags containing two thousand Jinweits on Clarice's hand.

Clarice was stunned: "I don't need that much, and you have to use money yourself."

"After doing what you should do, give me the rest."

The emotion in front of Clarice flashed away. She held her wallet and ran towards the hotel: "I will give it back to you!" she shouted.

Looking at Clarice's figure who seemed to be afraid that Xiu Yi would go back on his word and flee, Xiu Yi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Perhaps Clarice will never understand why Xiu Yi will still generously help him after he treated Xiu Yi like that.

Could it be that he was attracted to his beautiful appearance? It didn't look like this. Clarice could fully feel that the young man's heart was not as immature as his surface. On the contrary, he had a maturity that ordinary people could not achieve. He used two thousand Jinweits to win the beautiful smile? Even the nobles could not be so luxurious.

In fact, for Xiuyi, the singing and dancing troupe is like a happy family. Although it cannot get rid of many negative feelings such as worries, sorrows, noise, etc., it at least does not have to struggle in conspiracy every day.

Yes, conspiracy.

Even if he left Purgatory Island, he just magnified the circle of conspiracy and struggle, but he failed to escape from the career of conspiracy and intrigue, failed to escape from hypocrisy and disguise, failed to get rid of the habits and lifestyle of serving in the darkness and giving the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

Although for him, traveling around the world was his goal and alchemy was his pursuit, the Lance Empire would never let him go.

He would not take the initiative to take revenge, but he would not hide in and hide like a mouse, panic day and night.

Therefore, this is destined to be a war, a forced counterattack war. A war that does not require him to pursue, but will take the initiative to pursue him.

And from the moment he left Purgatory Island, the war had just begun.

Even though his opponent is so powerful, it doesn't mean he can't resist.

He not only wants to resist, but also let the Lance Empire see his resistance, be shocked by him, and be afraid of him. Just like a proud fighter, even if he dies, he will fight to the end.

At this point, Raschel did not read him wrong.

Even in an environment like Purgatory Island, how could a person who did not forget to fight back against the Jedi could disappear after leaving that Purgatory World?

He wouldn't do this.

This is exactly why he can tolerate Clarice's extortion on himself. For him, at least Clarice is real, unpretentious, and does not need to be careful to prevent it.

In this song and dance troupe, he can at least get his long-lost relationship of peaceful relationships between people, even if it is very short.

Many things can only be understood as precious when they are lost.
