Walking forward in the alley, compared to the spacious and lively shopping street along the main street, the narrow road had a different style.
Looking up, the sky that was cut into pieces by the brick houses was also slender.
Under the cover of the thick orange clouds at the bottom, the path was even darker. It gave off a feeling as if the sun had never touched this place. The black cat was lying on the ground of the garbage dump, looking at them with its golden eyes.
"Meow." After calling out, he quickly fled. The sound of light footsteps echoed in the surroundings.
It was as if he was already familiar with this complex path that was more like a maze than a maze. He advanced without any confusion. After passing through several corners, he soon saw the building that was his destination.
Standing alone on a slightly empty piece of land was an old shop. Although he wasn't sure if it was really an old shop, it did give off such an atmosphere.
Above the independent building made of wood, the mottled signboard hanging in front of the shop tilted its head. He pushed open the door and entered the shop. The bitter sound of the clock rang in his ears.
"Oh, is it you again?"
"Please." The bald Noam with a white beard raised his head from reading the intelligence booklet. Although he was wearing a red hat, he still knew. No hair. Without saying anything else, he took out his tachi and placed it on the counter.
"Yes, he brought something strange this time.”After adjusting the position of his glasses, he looked at it carefully and said," Wait a moment." The owner stood up. After watching the hunchbacked figure gradually disappear into the depths of the shop, he began to look into the shop decorated with countless antiques. He sighed at the colorful gems neatly arranged in the glass display cabinet.
Much earlier than expected, the owner of Nome returned. It was rare to see a frown on his face.
"What is this? Did you pick it up from the garbage dump over there?”
"Wha…"
"No matter if I press it or pull it, I can't cut anything. It doesn't seem to have any special abilities. He really didn't know what this thing was used for…This blade seemed to be dead. But why did it feel like this saber had absorbed a lot of blood?”He looked down at the tachi on the counter and fiddled with his beard as if he didn't know what to do with it. Then, the owner of Nome came to the conclusion that this was real garbage.
"It's rare for you to bring such a thing over.”
"Please, please wait a moment. It shouldn't be…"
"Although you say so. But I can't let you, who is already a regular customer, bring it back…I should be able to decorate it on the wall over there, right? How about a hundred Varys?"
"…I will come back!"
"Oh, I look forward to coming again."
Lily's shoulders trembled as she closed the door rudely. When he returned to the alley again, the sound of footsteps was much rougher than when he came.
Fifty Varys? Just the price of a meal? Don't be ridiculous. This was a high-level item that could easily cut through the hard shell of a monster. It should be worth enough to buy three mansions and still have money left. Such a first-grade weapon.
On second thought, the shop owner couldn't be playing dumb, right? However, when he came here a few days ago, he even gave a satisfactory appraisal price. It couldn't be that his brain had broken down after only a few days, right?
His appraisal skills were genuine. Even the guild staff could not compare to him. An appraiser who could surpass him had never been heard of, at least in this city.
"Why…?" He looked at the tachi in his hand. The blade had no luster at all. Moreover, it seemed to have already begun to decay. No matter what, he felt that something was amiss.
At that time, the blade was clearly shining with a bright dark red color, and it could even leave dark red and golden trails in the air. (According to the game, the mode with blood was called Dual Wielding Mode, and the golden light was the power of the Paladin's Weapon Blessing.）
"Wait a minute, he only had deep red blood when he pulled out the sword after putting it into the scabbard. If he had a scabbard…" As long as he could produce irrefutable evidence, even trash would be sold at a high price.
Scabbard. The scabbard was necessary. He looked down at the inconspicuous black blade and concentrated on thinking. If he had to change his plans, even if it was risky, he would have to contact him again…
"I'm sorry, Xi 'er. I even asked you to help me carry things."
"Well, it's no big deal... Liu, have you always been on this path?”
"Hey, hey. As long as he could grasp the route, he could save a lot of time by taking this path. It was not as inconvenient as Xi 'er had worried.”
" I didn't mean to say that…" Someone came over. Fairies and humans. Both of them were holding paper bags. He glanced at the opening of the bag and saw that the fruits and vegetables inside seemed to be squeezed out of the bag.
He immediately looked away and hid his tachi. They were surprised that there were people passing by in such a remote alley, so they naturally passed by them.
"Please wait a moment, Parum over there.”A voice that could not be explained came from behind. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Immediately after, cold sweat covered his entire back.
Why did you stop me? No way. Such an unbelievable thought flashed in a corner of his mind.
"Hide the tachi. Can I see it?”Lily was speechless when she heard this.
"Is there a reason?"
"It looks like the property of an acquaintance. If it's possible, I want to confirm it.”
" What kind of vision does he have?'Lily wanted to curse.
"Unfortunately, this is my own thing. You must have seen wrongly." He did not give her a chance to refute and left after saying that. He rejected her request and tried to leave this place.
"Take it out." The atmosphere was so tense that one could almost hear the creaking sound of air friction.
