Arcane Lord

After jumping off the second floor of Old Neil Inn, Shado and Ava walked through the alley one after the other and came to the door of Old Neil Inn again. The guests inside were still drinking, eating, and bragging as before.

But they would never have thought that the boss who was just making fun of them had now turned into a gradually cold corpse.

Xia Duo did not look inside, but lowered his head and walked quickly from the east district. When he entered a dark section of the road, Xia Duo suddenly turned back, looked at the silent darkness behind him, and said:

"Aiva, I just took some things, where is it safer to deal with them?"

"..."

Aiva was silent at first, and then said, "I suggest you don't deal with these things for the time being. The things you took may not be clean."

Xia Duo asked hurriedly, "What do you know?"

"From the sound of the package on your body, there should be some jewelry and silverware. These things are not what an ordinary hotel owner should have."

After hearing what Aiva said, Xia Duo subconsciously pressed on the package around his waist. When he packed it before, he deliberately wrapped it tightly to make it silent, but he didn't expect that Aiva would hear it.

In addition, Aiva said that these things might not be clean, which made Xia Duo a little suspicious, fearing that others would hear it again, "These must be dealt with as soon as possible, what do you suggest?"

If he gave up directly, he was indeed a little unwilling. If he had known this, he might as well not have taken it before.

If he carries it with him, it will be very inconvenient. He cannot enter the Mage Tower now. He has to meet up with Dean and the others tomorrow, and he can't find a place to store it.

Therefore, it is better to find a place to dispose of it. He believes that Ava must be more experienced than him in this regard. The worst case scenario is to find a random store to sell it. Anyway, the heavy snow will come soon. When the time comes, he will hide in the Mage Tower and no one will be able to find him.

Xia Duo "looked" at Ava expectantly, and after thinking for a moment, Ava really had a way, "But I must remind you that even the most reputable middleman may not be reliable."

"I understand."

It is a joke to expect such a middleman in the gray area to have integrity. Xia Duo would not be naive to think that he had killed Old Neil perfectly, but people who could easily know it generally would not investigate, but it was not so easy for those who wanted to investigate.

Even if this matter was exposed, Xia Duo was confident enough to get out of it unscathed. The only thing he had to worry about was some simple-minded and righteous people who ignored the rules of the territory.

…

Then, Ava took Shado to a leather shop in the East District, which openly sold leather products such as leather shoes, leather jackets, and leather pants.

As soon as he entered the store, Shado smelled an indescribable sour and rotten smell. Even though he had seen the stench of goblins and orcs, he couldn't help frowning.

"If you like something, just tell me directly. If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it."

The boss's attitude was not very friendly. He was counting the accounts behind the counter by himself, as if he didn't care about the two customers who just came in.

While making a gesture, Ava said in a disguised hoarse voice, "Shipment, One-Eye introduced it."

Hearing "shipment" and "one-eye", the boss raised his head and saw Ava's gesture. He pulled the rope next to the counter suddenly, and the door closed with a bang.

Shado's heart tightened and he instantly entered a state of concentration in casting. Although Ava had gained some of his trust, this sudden change still made him prepare for the worst.

In a state of concentration, Xia Duo "saw" that the owner of the leather shop opposite him had a faint blue light on his left wrist, fingers, and waist. This was a sign that the magic net was distorted, indicating that he was carrying a magic item.

Looking at Ava again, there was only a very faint blue light around his waist, and Xia Duo secretly made preparations.

At this time, the boss spoke, "Where are the things? Take them out."

Ava motioned to Xia Duo to take the things out, and Xia Duo, while maintaining a state of concentration, put the package on the counter and opened it. Inside was the things Xia Duo wanted to get rid of.

Except for an elf scarf and an amethyst ring, as well as all the paper documents, everything else was here.

Hey——

The boss picked up a small wooden sculpture, put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully, and soon put it down again, and couldn't help asking: "Where did you get it from?"

Xia Duo was silent, and Ava still reminded him in that hoarse voice, "You know the rules!"

The boss wanted to say something, but finally stopped and began to check other items. Xia Duo keenly noticed that since seeing the small wooden sculpture, the boss has been a little distracted.

This made Xia Duo notice the small wooden sculpture again. When he collected the things before, he just took a rough look at them. He didn't have time and couldn't understand them. He didn't expect that there was a "big deal" hidden in it.

The whole of this small wooden sculpture is brown. At first glance, there seems to be some mysterious silver glow on the edge, but it disappears when you look closely.

The shape of the wooden sculpture is a human female. Although the carving skills are not very exquisite, the eyebrows and eyes are quite vivid. Just one look can tell that this is a heroic and extraordinary woman.

Xia Duo is not sure whether this thing is valuable, so he asks Ava through [Communication].

Ava shook his head obscurely. Xia Duo didn't understand whether he said it was not valuable or he didn't know. He could only watch the leather shop owner continue to identify it quietly.

After a while, Xia Duo felt the flame of the oil lamp in the store flicker, and then the boss finished checking all the items and began to quote, "A pair of silver water cups, 25 gold coins, two silver statuettes, 30 gold coins, and a pair of crystal earrings. , 50 gold coins, a silk scarf, 50 gold coins, a pearl necklace, 150 gold coins, and the remaining silver necklaces and earrings are of poor workmanship, totaling 10 gold coins.”

Xia Duo calculated in his mind that this was only 315 gold coins. If he were to kill orcs, he would have to kill dozens of orcs to get it.

Then he looked at a group of items on the counter, all of which were bottles and cans. The boss also bid for these items, "2 bottles of burning glue, 20 gold coins, 1 bottle of strong acid, 5 gold coins, 4 bottles of unknown poison, 10 gold coins "

"Wait a minute, boss." Xia Duo quickly cast [Phantom Sound Technique] and said in the same voice as Ava, "Blazing Fire Glue is too cheap!"

Although Xia Duo doesn't know how to estimate, that's only because he doesn't know the price of the item. As a common alchemy item, the price of blazing glue is also transparent. Even if Xia Duo has never bought it, he has heard of it.

The boss directly cut the price in half, which means that the prices of the previous items were also cut in half at least. Xia Duo not only complained about the price of Chihuo Glue, but was also dissatisfied with the previous prices.

The boss did not answer Xia Duo, but looked at Ava, "What do you think?"

"Fair enough."
