The Emerald Tower

Chapter 179 Luring the Snake Out of the Cave. Bartering for Things

Since it is to buy gifts, the two shops in the upper city that are only open to people with status are naturally the first choice, and under the leadership of the great knight An Luo, Dean entered these two shops without any hindrance - said yes The two shops are actually adjacent to each other on the left and right, and the walls are also opened, but they are blocked by a black curtain.

"This is a husband-and-wife shop. Although the husband and wife have a good relationship, the items and concepts they operate are different, and they don't want to be separated, so they chose the adjacent shops on the left and right, opened them up, but managed them separately. ——Punke and Anna are the names of these two bosses... Don't worry, the two bosses also came from aristocratic families, so there is absolutely no problem in choosing the items here to give to Baron Tyre!"

After entering the shop, Great Knight An Luo saw Dean's surprised eyes, and immediately explained.

"From a noble family?"

Dean asked subconsciously.

"Yeah, the former Punk and Anna were nobles, but they were dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the family and fled, which is really admirable..."

Great Knight An Luo clicked his mouth, his face revealing a trace of fascination, but then he seemed to think of the cruel reality, that fascination began to struggle, and finally, it turned into a helpless sigh. glasses, the whole person is like a depressed poet.

Suddenly, Ben had been paying attention to the ladies and young ladies in An Luo's shop, his eyes lit up.

And Dean subconsciously moved to the side—for this great knight, after discovering the nature of the opponent, Dean finally figured out why the opponent rarely wears armor. in the face of danger. That is a piece of leather armor. According to the other party's words, that is: armor? Affect my sense of beauty! Those ladies and young ladies who admire me will be sad when they see it.

There is no doubt that this great knight has the loyalty of a knight, and he does not lack a sense of responsibility.

However, that sense of responsibility is only manifested in treating his own county king.

As for others?

Dean looked at the other party as if dejected, but he couldn't help looking at the ladies and young ladies out of the corner of his eye, and even cast a smug look at himself from time to time. Dean shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

"Little An Luo. If you spread the word about our deeds and come to the store next time, I will definitely double the price!"

And just when the ladies and young ladies in the shop were about to walk towards An Luo, a voice sounded,

An elderly lady walked out of the room behind the shop slowly. Although she was old, her steps, especially her face after the years, still showed a delicate look.

Anyone can imagine how outstanding the other party was when he was young.

only. This elegant and temperamental old lady, at this moment, is a bit annoyed——

"This guy is 'hunting.yan.sex.wolf' An Luo. If you don't want to be swallowed without bones left, get away from him!"

The old lady pointed to those ladies and ladies who were flying moths to the flame, and immediately, those ladies and ladies started backing away in horror, and even two of them ran straight out of the store. It is obvious that An Luo's reputation is 'deafening'; Dean moved another two steps subconsciously, as if I didn't know him.

"Mrs. Anna, you can't do this, you know, I'm your loyal customer!"

Looking at the ladies and young ladies who avoided him, An Luo, who also knew his reputation, immediately looked at the old lady with a wry smile.

"My loyal customers? Little An Luo, do you think I will believe it? You just fell in love with my loyal customers!"

The old lady exposed our great knight very unceremoniously, and she said with a little distress: "Just this year, I have received no less than five crying complaints. They are all good girls and should not be hurt by you... "As she spoke, the old lady's words became harsher: "If I appear here again, I will directly protest to the Marquis and prohibit you from appearing within half a catty and one hundred yards of my shop!"

"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention!"

An Luo raised his hands, trying to express his sincerity, but seeing the old lady's disbelief, Dean knew that this was not the first time An Luo had done this.

"Hello, I'm Dean Ken, and I'm here to pick out some gifts!"

When the old lady looked at him suspiciously, Dean immediately expressed his intention to come. He absolutely didn't want to be misunderstood, spread any bad reputation, and affect his image of the 'perfect knight'.

"Dean, Dean Ken... the future Lord of the Golden Knights? I am really honored to have you here!"

The old lady was startled, and after muttering something in a low voice, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately exclaimed.

"You are too much to praise!"

Dean waved his hands again and again.

"Come on, since you are the future Lord Golden Knight, I think some of the things I have here will be very suitable for your friends... Also, little An Luo, you are not allowed to enter the shop again, go to Punk's side now!"

Greeting Dean warmly, the old lady still did not forget to 'distribute' An Luo sternly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will go find Punk!"

An Luo said this, and then disappeared into the shop at a high speed.

And Dean was led by the old lady to a counter with some small ornaments and handicrafts on it——

"You're picking out a gift for that kind of friend...maybe, I can give you some advice!"

After the old lady invited Dean to sit down in front of the counter, she brought two boxes from the counter next to it, which also contained some similar ornaments and handicrafts, but they were more delicate.

"I was chosen for a baron and his advisor, the Chief of Guards!"

Dean said simply.

"Baron? Baron Tyre? It turned out to be that guy..."

While speaking, the old lady frowned, and then brought another box from the counter on the other side. There are still ornaments and handicrafts placed inside. and. It is brighter than what Dean saw before, but Dean, who has a considerable level of appreciation, knows that although the accessories on the back look beautiful and luxurious, they are not as good as the previous ones. It can't show the connotation of a person at all, it will only be an extra "bright" point.

It's like an upstart. I can't wait to inlay my whole body with gold and diamonds.

Of course, Dean would never think that Mrs. Larry had any malice, it was just that the Baron Tire was famous.

"Well, can I just call you Dean?"

"certainly!"

Dean nodded affirmatively.

"Dean, you know how to appreciate...at least you have learned it on purpose!"

The old lady pointed to the boxes in front of her with a smile.

"When I was young, I was taught by my family teacher!"

Dean said casually - having an unfounded family is enough to conceal Dean's versatility.

"Well, it's a very unusual family. Of course, Dean, you are also very hardworking. Boys rarely work hard on jewelry and handicraft appreciation. They prefer to wield swords... Don't worry. Baron Tyre, this is more important. suits him, and as for the advisor, is it Ikos?"

"Ok!"

"Then this one, he should like it - Ikos is a good boy, and Baron Tyre is also a good boy, but he is a little stupid!"

The old lady took out a palm-sized sailing ship model from the handicraft box on one side, and then commented on Baron Till and the advisor very straightforwardly.

Dean, on the other hand, chuckled lightly and said nothing.

Obviously, just from the old lady's words and deeds, Dean can see the extraordinaryness of the other party. At least, casual evaluation of a lord and casual attitude towards the great knight are not a person who traveled far away from home and once The noble lady can do it.

Therefore, Dean expressed his belief in the other party's vision.

"For the chief guard, it's Ellen... There is nothing Ellen likes here... Come with me!"

After speaking, the old lady stood up, lifted the black curtain aside, and walked into the shop next door.

Dean then walked in.

Although I had vaguely seen some products outside the door before, but after I walked in, I was still surprised by the room full of knives, swords, and armor.

"A royal merchant of the Marquis of Vauban?"

Dean thought silently.

Undoubtedly, this is the only identity that can deal in weapons and armor in the upper city.

"Punk, punk!"

The old lady shouted. Immediately, an elderly gentleman came from behind the shop. There were some oil stains on the coarse linen coat, which made the already gray linen even more unbearable. , the face is the same, the face is covered with grease, it is difficult to see the face, even if the old gentleman wiped it twice vigorously with the cloth.

"You sloppy guy, don't move, I'll wipe it for you!"

The old lady cursed in a low voice, and then took out a clean white handkerchief and wiped it carefully for her husband. In an instant, all that strength was left with tenderness.

Dean looked at Punk and Anna in front of him, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth. The love between the two old couples made him respect and envy.

"Dean, I'm sorry, Punk is not good at words, but his eyesight and craftsmanship are very good!"

Turning around, the old lady smiled apologetically.

"It's better not to be good at words than to be sweet!"

Dean spoke very frankly about his true inner thoughts.

"That's right, that's right!"

The old lady nodded again and again and smiled, and after entering the shop again, Punk came out with a dagger, handed it to his wife, and then nodded kindly at Dean, As soon as he turned around, he returned to the back of the shop.

"This dagger, as a gift for Ellen, is enough!"

The old lady handed the dagger to Dean.

But just glanced at it, and Dean nodded very satisfied.

Even without the blessing of magic, the sharpness and toughness are still very good products.

"how much is the total?"

Dean pointed to the three items that the old lady helped to choose.

"One hundred and ten Kimptons!"

The old lady reported a number while wrapping the three items in a gift box.

“Very fair price!”

Dean nodded, immediately. A gem that was nearly equivalent was taken out.

Whether it is Baron Tyre's jewelry. Or the sailboat of Ikos. Or the dagger chosen for Ellen is not cheap. According to Dean's assessment, it should be at least around 150 Kimptons, and the 110 Kimptons given by the old lady, Obviously a discounted price.

Sure enough, the next moment, the old lady laughed——

"This is a discounted price. Facing the future Golden Knight, of course I need to make an investment in advance!"

The old lady said with a hint of a joke.

"Hope, I won't disappoint you!"

Dean responded humbly.

And after that, after just chatting for a few words, Dean left the shop; after all, he didn't buy all the gifts; Young people who did not come to Vauban together obviously also need a small gift to soothe their troubled hearts.

Dean didn't want to cause any trouble in his knight order because of some grievances.

Of course, the gift will not be very expensive.

after all. The young people who followed him to the city of Vauban are the ones who are really valued by Dean, and they are taking great risks-sitting and reaping the rewards. Do nothing and get better rewards?

Of course Dean would not do such a thing.

Therefore, 'Punk and Anna' is obviously not suitable, this is a shop open to wealthy businessmen and nobles, not commoners.

Even the items in the shops in the commercial street in the lower city seemed a bit expensive.

Therefore, Dean's gaze naturally fell on those who set up stalls outside the shop.

Most of these people are merchants from Vauban County, and a small part are locals in the civilian area of ​​Vauban City, making some handicrafts in exchange for some household subsidies.

Dean stopped and walked, looking around.

Although there are many items on the pavement, none of them fit Dean's mind very well—either they are too cheap or too expensive.

The former will appear perfunctory.

The latter will only appear more unfair.

So Dean went on shopping, looking absorbed in his shopping.

But this became easier for the spies following him. After all, in the busy commercial street, the flow of people is the biggest protection.

Feeling the guys behind him, Dean sneered in his heart and continued to complete his work.

As for these spies?

Naturally, the great knight An Luo was in charge.

This in itself is their agreement.

Of course, buying gifts is also true.

However, it is also true to 'clean up' the 'dark' forces in Vauban by the way-this is the request of the great knight An Luo, and Dean will not refuse it without delaying his own affairs. The knight An Luo also gave a certain reward: he took out the money for the gift.

Therefore, Dean didn't care about the spies at all.

As for when to arrest?

This kind of crowded place is definitely not good now, and accidental injury is very likely.

Moreover, that great knight, An Luo, would not be willing to reap such a thing: the lair of these'dark' forces is the goal of this great knight.

In this regard, Dean wished the great knight good luck.

Maybe none of these 'dark' forces are an opponent of An Luo in the direct battle, or even all of them together, which is not a problem to An Luo.

However, it is not necessarily true if it is hidden.

However, facing the confident An Luo, Dean didn't say such words - most of the time, the facts are the most powerful.

Even if you have already guessed.

Dean continued to wander around the commercial street, completing his unfinished tasks—until the start of lunch, which was the time agreed by Dean and An Luo.

And during this time period, Dean was destined not to be able to leave.

Since he couldn't leave, Dean naturally didn't mind relaxing.

Even if it is actually calculated, it is only about three hours.

After putting the purchased gifts in his own shop, and rejecting the old Ander's request to send someone to accompany him, Dean appeared on the commercial street again.

Moreover, compared to the quick glance before, this time he was much more careful.

From time to time, I would go to the pavement, check the items carefully, and then ask the boss after the pavement about the price fluctuations. If it meets my wish, I will buy it. If it does not meet the requirements, Dean will stand He got up and walked towards the next pavement, with a smile on his face and a leisurely look.

And just under this rhythm, after about an hour or so, Dean bought everything he wanted to buy, and then, looking at the sun above his head, he was very close to the appointed time.

Therefore, he did not intend to continue, but walked towards his shop again.

For the rest of the time, he didn't plan to spend in his shop, but he had to take the gifts he bought before and return to his residence; after all, he still had other things to do in the afternoon.

However, as soon as he got close to the shop, before he walked in, Dean heard clearly old Ander's helpless voice from inside——

"Ma'am, we don't accept bartering here, please change to Kimpton and come back later!"

There was sincerity in old Ander's voice, but no one could hear the helplessness in it.

"Why? Do you think we are deceiving you?"

A female voice with a slightly weird tone sounded.

"No, no, of course not, we just..."

"Then why not change?"

Obviously, the store is caught in a kind of entanglement.

"What would you like to exchange?"

Dean stepped in.

"My lord!"

Immediately, the shop assistants, including old Ander, bowed to Dean who came in, and the lady with the weird tone also looked at Dean.

ps It's a two-in-one chapter, decadent people who open their eyes at five o'clock in the afternoon can't afford to hurt them! ! !

I ran to the toilet continuously last night... I fell asleep in the morning when I was decadent... The beef pot that can't be hurt! ! !

t.t
