Chapter 631 Taobao
When Duanmuhuai walked out of the healing house, his whole expression was desperate.
After that, Duanmu Huai spent a whole hour explaining to the boss and staff of the Healing House that he was not a giant, nor a human with giant blood, but a normal ordinary person... The boss expressed his understanding of this, but he also told him sorry... his request could not be met for the time being.
This disappointed Duanmu Huai.
After spending so much money, I still came here in vain.
When Duanmu Huai returned to the place where he met before, Kasim and Luoxia were waiting for him with Ojis.
"Ah, you''re back, Mr. Duanmu."
"Well, are you having fun?"
"Fortunately, we are not very familiar with Deep Water City, but we just wandered around here, uh... Mr. Duanmu, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I''ll go take a shower."
Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked at the sky forty-five degrees, and sighed silently.
"Take a bath? It''s true that I''ve been in the wild these days... I want to take a bath, too."
"Why don''t you try it too?"
Looking at Qasim, Duanmu Huai''s expression suddenly moved and showed a strange smile.
"Although that place is a bit expensive, the service is quite thoughtful, and there is also a massage service, which is enough to wipe out your fatigue during the journey."
"real?"
Hearing this, Qasim widened his eyes excitedly, and then looked at the girl beside him.
"Luoxia, let''s try it together later!"
"Okay! Qasim!"
Well, sure enough, if you cheat people when you are in a bad mood, you will feel much better.
After returning, Aoji Si climbed on Duanmuhuai''s shoulder and sat down - well, this was obviously her fixed position.
“Where will we go next?”
"Next... let''s go to Taobao."
“…Taobao?”
As a big city, Deepwater City is still very popular among players. Although the civilization level here is low, there are indeed many good things in the magic prop shops in big cities. Although the combat power of this world is relatively low, as mentioned before, there are many magic items used to assist, and there are also many good things...
For example, on Warrior Road in the Castle District, there are many good things in the weapon shop and armor shop here, which are not even comparable to Wu Winter City. After all, Deepwater City has experienced several crises of nearly razing to the ground, and each time it survived. Because of this, there are naturally many treasures for sale here.
Especially some armor and weapons, their strength is not very rare for big guys to use, but it is too expensive for ordinary people to afford. It was just right for Qasim and Luo Xia. After all, they had just received a large bounty from Lord Nashel. In Duanmuhuai''s view, spending money here and increasing their chances of survival is the right way.
Sure enough, when Qasim and Luoxia came to the weapon store and saw those expensive and powerful weapons and equipment, they couldn''t walk. After Duanmuhuai threw the two straight eyes on Warrior Road, he turned around and headed to the Gem Street next to him and came to a shop called "Rare Treasures of Balsol".
As its name suggests, this store sells some rare treasures. In the game, the main things sold are rings, necklaces, and other accessories, or some magic props. For example, a snuff bottle that can automatically play music... Well, to put it bluntly, it is a good place for buying local specialties.
After all, Duanmu Huai is planning to bring some gifts to others.
"Dingling..."
Duanmuhuai reached out to push open the door. Soon, the doorbell made a crisp sound. Then Duanmuhuai and Aojisi walked into the store. They saw a thin middle-aged man standing there listlessly behind the counter. Hearing the doorbell, he raised his head and looked at Duanmuhuai, stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Ah, hello, dear guests, welcome to the rare treasures. What do you want to buy?"
"I plan to buy some gifts for people, and also things that I use for myself, which are easier to use and beautiful in daily life."
Duanmuhuai walked to the counter, glanced at the magic props and accessories placed around him, and then spoke, while he reached out and placed a handful of gold coins on the table.
“Money is not a problem.”
“Oh, of course.”
Seeing the gold coins in front of you, the shop owner immediately knew that a big customer had arrived and his smile became brighter.
"Please feel free to say anything you want, just say it to me."
"Well... Then let''s take a look..." Duanmu Huai is naturally very familiar with the things sold here, so she buys them very quickly. He first bought Mary a shadow cloak, a cloak with its own invisibility. Just put on the cloak and recite the trigger spell to activate it, so that the wearer can be invisible for a certain period of time - well, for Mary, this is still very useful.
As for An and Gureya, Duanmu Huai bought them two rings with "higher magic relief". In Manalia''s world, it seems that mages rarely have this kind of skill of actively removing magic, so Duanmu Huai planned to buy them two rings back so that the two of them can protect themselves.
Of course, in addition to this, Duanmu Huai also bought some gifts for everyone else, most of which were rings or necklaces, and the spells in them were mostly used to assist. After all, Duanmu Huai just wanted to give them some fun, and did not intend to make them rely too much on these magic items. You should know that these magic items are also magic... Well, a disgusting two-headed monster might tamper with it.
Duanmu Huai is not afraid of spending money anyway, and the store owner is rarely able to meet such a generous customer, so he naturally smiles happily. After wrapping all the gifts Duanmuhuai asked for, the store manager hesitated for a moment, came to Duanmuhuai''s side, looked at Aojisi, who was curiously looking at the jewelry not far away, and then lowered his voice and said to Duanmuhuai.
"To be honest, you and I hit it off at first sight and were very close to each other."
"oh?"
"So... I have something special here. Do you want to take a look?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai''s eyes were also glowing. In the game, if the player has a high charm, he could persuade the store owner to actively provide some "non-sale products". However, with his current charm value, Duanmu Huai had never thought about it. However, now it seems that as long as you spend enough money, it seems that the same effect can be achieved?
"Of course, where is it?"
"At the back, please come with me."
"Well... Ojis, stay here and I''ll be back soon."
Duanmuhuai said to Aojisi, and the latter just nodded slightly, and then Duanmuhuai and the boss came to the room inside. Then Duanmuhuai saw the boss coming to a bookshelf quickly, then pressed the secret switch next to it, and then the bookshelf slowly slid open, and then a metal safe appeared inside. Then the boss carefully took out a key from his waist and inserted it in...
What is so precious? Could it be that you want to sell it to me?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also curious. After all, ordinary things must not be so secretive and strict. What makes the boss so careful must be something very expensive, but... the artifact should not be possible. No matter how powerful it is, it is just an ordinary treasure store. If players want to find artifacts or secondary artifacts, they usually kill dragons and treasures by themselves.
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, the boss opened the safe, then reached out and carefully took out a large book wrapped in it. The book looks as big as the Oxford Dictionary, with black magic cloth wrapped around it and chains wrapped around it.
Uh... you won''t give me a book of the Dead, if I do, I will turn around and leave immediately.
Of course, the boss didn''t know Duanmuhuai''s inner thoughts at this moment. He carefully placed the book on the table, then opened the chain, and slowly, carefully removed the black cloth wrapped around the big book - then, what appeared in front of Duanmuhuai was... a book with pink colors on the cover was shining with faint light, and a big book with strange patterns appeared on it.
Just seeing this book made Duanmu Huai''s heart beat.
"Boss, is this a fan in the legend..."
"That''s right, you really know the goods, this is the Pink Book!"
“Guru……”
Duanmu Huai didn''t say anything, but the charm of this book was seen from his straight eyes and swallowing saliva.
A long time ago, a man named Abdullah Alhassad wrote a book called "The Book of the Dead", which explained the old seals, external gods and other gods in detail, and even recorded a lot of spells - this is the ultimate witch book of the Cthulhu mythological system - well, come and go.
In fact, it is not bad. The so-called Pink Book has similar content to the "Book of the Dead". It records some kind of creatures in the outer plane, as well as various spells and magical techniques - as long as it is used for joy.
Yes, this is why this book is called "The Book of Pink". Like "The Book of the Dead", it belongs to forbidden books - of course, the two are completely different in a sense.
After reading the "Book of the Dead", you can only gain the indescribable slander of despair and collapse.
After reading the "Pink Book", you will experience unprecedented joy and happiness.
Um………
Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at the shop owner in front of him again, as if he was taking drugs.
………He seemed to understand.
"You want to sell me this book?"
"Yes, a distinguished guest, as you can see, I have... been unable to do my best, and you... are young and strong, and since you know the Book of Pink, it means that you are also a person of our generation. The responsibility of spreading joy and happiness throughout the world will be given to you."
Listening to the owner''s explanation in tears and looking at his thin hands pressing on his waist, Duanmu Huai immediately felt awe. He looked at the great book that carries love and dreams in front of him, and was silent for a moment, then looked at the shop owner and made a decision.
“I bought it!”
