Chapter 2574: Traveling Merchants

Kael's focus is very strange, but it fits Doakes's rising heart of gossip.

The two of them were talking to each other, and they had already imagined a bloody drama of "Where is Dad?"

Until they saw Ma Qiusha's husband Crow, the two of them were silent.

Returning with the crow, besides Vai, were Old Man Fuxiu, Ma Qiusha and her son Keluo.

At this time, Ke Luo was hiding behind Ma Qiusha, holding her mother's feet and looking out timidly.

At first they thought Kolo was afraid of them, but judging from the direction Kolo was looking with his little black eyes, he was not afraid of this group of extraordinary beings who might bring disaster, but rather his father. ,crow.

As for why they are afraid of crows, they can probably guess some.

The crow's outfit is really a bit...dark.

Wearing a black and gray robe, the bottom edge of the robe is inlaid with a small skull decoration. It seems that the material is made of silver. On his head, he wears a large hat that is almost comparable to the sun hat of an aristocratic woman, but the hat is also pure black and still has skull decorations on it, so it doesn't look feminine.

In addition to this, the crow also wears a beak mask. This mask is not handmade, but the skull of a raptor, so it is not airtight, and you can vaguely see the face of the young man behind the mask.

He doesn't look very scary, but with this outfit, he really has the decadent old style of the Dark Ages.

If you were in the wizarding world, this kind of dressing up would be acceptable, as it was the type that would turn heads once you saw it on the street. But in the world of ordinary people, this dress is too exaggerated and dark, especially in the eyes of innocent children, it is simply scarier than the cannibal villain in fairy tales.

Nothing more than that, when Kolo saw his father, instead of being close to him, he was hiding behind his mother and trembling.

"It seems that the story we imagined before went in the wrong direction." Doakes said to Kael in the psychic belt, "Angel's guess may be true."

Although they have not seen the "Lightning" of the hero team, they can know from Kolo's dress that this is a typical heroic style dress, and Wei Guangzheng is directly full of it. It is normal for children to worship such heroes.

It would be very scary if Khloe dressed up like his father Crow, and at the very least he would have experienced a twisted childhood.

Angel did not participate in Doakes' discussion, but quietly walked forward and came to the opposite side of the crow: "On the way, my teammates must have told you the reason why we are looking for you."

Before Crow could answer, Vai told Angel with excitement that he had already told him in advance.

As for why Vai was so excited, it was entirely because of Angel's casual words of "teammate."

Sure enough, Lord Chao Dimension values ​​him very much!

Angel, who once again gained a fanboy, didn't know why Vai was so excited, and he didn't care. Instead, he continued to look directly at the crow: "Where are the weapons?"

Crow was also very straightforward. He stretched out his hand and fished it behind his back, and a cane tied to his belt appeared in front of them.

This cane matches the crow's costume very well, and it is also completely black. It is probably dyed deliberately. On the head of the staff, there is a silver crow inlaid. This crow is definitely hand-polished. The beak and wings are extremely sharp. When waved, it can be used as a long-handled weapon.

When Angel took the cane and started observing, several strands of spiritual power surged over at the same time and wrapped around the cane. Apparently others were also observing the cane.

"There is some smell of human blood on the staff, which must have been acquired recently. However, even if it is covered up by human blood, the smell of demon blood in the depths is still so strong. Angel is right, this staff is indeed Demon Blood Mine Production." Doakes gave his own opinion.

"Besides that this cane is made of magic blood ore, is there anything special about it?" Kael also came down from upstairs at this moment, looking at the cane curiously.

The Black Earl and Angel, who were the most authoritative in this regard, did not speak at this time.

After pondering for a long time, the Black Earl and Angel exchanged "looks" - Angel's eyes and the Black Earl's nostrils.

"Judging from the shape, this should be the single-column bracket of the lecture table, but it is no longer the original one and has been polished to a certain extent." Angel said while inserting his cane into the hollow on the podium.

Obviously, the cane is a whole circle thinner and cannot be inserted firmly into the hollow.

"In addition to being polished, the top tabletop has also disappeared." The Black Earl said sarcastically: "Instead, it was changed to this nondescript decoration. What a waste."

They now understood why Vai was hesitant when he mentioned the desk. Because this is no longer a desk at all.

After a complete change, it may be more refined than the lectern, but besides being refined, it has no other advantages. Of course, this is in Angel's eyes. In the eyes of ordinary people, this stick is still a murderous weapon.

"Why is it like this? Who can polish the magic blood mine? Where is the tabletop?" Doakes's three consecutive questions also made everyone confused.

Looking at the crow, after a while of questioning.

Crow finally spoke, and his deep voice made Ke Luo beside him even more frightened.

"When I received this weapon from the teacher, it still looked like a lecture table, but it was too bulky. Although the tabletop can be used as a hammer, it does not suit my fighting style."

From the physique of Crow, he should be a light assassin, so this sentence is reasonable.

"So, I asked someone to help me polish it and remade this desk."

Dox: "Who polished it? Where is the tabletop?"

Although the hardness of the magic blood ore varies greatly, they don't know in which hardness range the magic blood ore of the human-faced eagle is. But what we know is that it is absolutely hell-level difficult for ordinary blacksmiths to polish it.

Perhaps, Crow has contacted a blacksmith with the identity of a transcendent?

Crow did not answer immediately, but fell into a period of contemplation.

At this time, the old man Bu Xiu said: "Let me tell you about this matter. Crow has an agreement with others, so it's not good to reveal too much. But I'm different. That old guy refused to help me refine weapons many times, and I don't have any agreement with him."

When the old man Bu Xiu spoke, Crow was relieved.

Judging from the expressions and language details of the two people, what the old man Bu Xiu said should be true, so Angel turned his eyes to the hunchbacked old man.

"The one who helped Crow polish the weapon was a man who called himself a magic craftsman."

"Magic craftsman? This title is really big, and you are not afraid of not being able to digest it." Wai muttered in a low voice, and at the same time thought to himself: Only people like Master Chaowei can get such a title with peace of mind, and no one else is qualified.

"It's just a title. Anyway, everyone likes to pull it up. I also thought of calling it the God Slayer, but it was later rejected by my wife." The old man Bu Xiu sighed, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"Let's continue. This magician comes from an organization called 'Traveling Merchants'. This organization is very special. They don't have a fixed base, but wander around different areas every day. The adventure groups in various areas will not have much malice towards the traveling merchants, because the traveling merchants hardly participate in any treasure hunts, and they have only one purpose."

"From their name, you should have guessed that yes, they are merchants. They travel to various areas to do business."

"Their business covers a wide range, almost everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. Most of the food here is traded with traveling merchants."

"A team that wanders around the garden maze and specializes in business? Interesting." Dox whispered softly, then raised his head and looked at the old man Bu Xiu: "Since they are doing business, why did you say just now that the magician refused to refine weapons for you many times?"

The old man Bu Xiu sighed: "Because I don't have what he wants."

After the explanation, it turns out that this traveling merchant organization, although doing business, but except for daily necessities, food, water, grain and oil, all other businesses cannot be traded with money.

What they want is what each organization has obtained in the ruins.

In short, although they did not go treasure hunting, they took a lot of items from the ruins under the name of trading.

Old man Bu Xiu also got a lot of things in the ruins, but every time he went to find the magic craftsman, the old guy took a look and threw them back, saying that it was not enough.

This is also the grudge between old man Bu Xiu and the magic craftsman.

When old man Bu Xiu said this, everyone probably understood the whole story. This "traveling merchant" organization is definitely not simple.

He seems to be out of the matter, but in fact it is more like supporting all the adventure groups in the ruins to work for him.

Living supplies can be exchanged for money, because these are all made by ordinary people.

But combat supplies must be exchanged for things from the ruins. Obviously, this is what the traveling merchant really wants.

"Raising an adventure group to help explore, the person behind the scenes is a bit smart." They can almost be sure that there must be extraordinary people behind the traveling merchants.

Because the things in the ruins, as long as they are extraordinary things. Then ordinary people often cannot use them, and only extraordinary people can play the greatest role.

"The cane of Crow was made by the magician?" Angel: "Then if I'm not mistaken, the item you used to trade with the magician was the table?"

Crow nodded: "Yes."

"Another twist." Dox rubbed his temples. He thought he would not deal with extraordinary people here. It seems that he still needs to meet other extraordinary people.

"What an idiot." The Black Earl snorted coldly.

It seems that Crow got the deal, but in fact, the things he traded and the magic blood ore that was polished off are much more valuable than this useless cane.

While everyone was having various emotions, Angel was very calm and continued to ask: "Since the desk was intact when you took it from your teacher, can you describe the specific appearance of the desk, what patterns or carvings are there on it?"

Crow recalled: "I can't remember it a little, but it seems that there are no words. As for the patterns... because the tabletop is made of some kind of wood, it should be a normal wood grain, right?"

"The original pillar, that is, the original appearance of your cane, is there anything unusual on it?"

Crow shook his head again: "I really don't have this."

There is nothing on the tabletop and the legs? Did Duokes' inspiration go wrong?

While Angel was thinking, the old man Buxiu suddenly said: "In fact, at the beginning, there were words and some carved patterns on the tabletop, and there seemed to be a pattern on the legs. However, Crow's teacher made some changes after pulling it out, and then used the table to hit people and things every day, and slowly, the grain on it seemed to be worn flat."

Hearing what the old man said, Angel's eyes lit up. It seems that Dox's inspiration did not fail this time.

This desk may really be a breakthrough.

As for the grinding that the old man said, it has only been a few years, and there must be traces left. They are all extraordinary people. If they can't even see this little trace, then don't mix.

Thinking of this, Angel looked at everyone: "It seems that we have to deal with this traveling merchant organization."

"Even if it's not for this desk, we have to go."

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Since the traveling merchant organization has existed here for so many years, Angel doesn't believe that they don't know the real entrance to the underground maze.

Even if there is no clue on the desk, it can be obtained from the traveling merchant organization. So, no matter what, they have to deal with this organization.

...

Before going to find the traveling merchant organization, they talked with the old man again to confirm that there was no abnormality when they occupied this underground ruins. Angel was ready to leave here first.

However, before that, they still need an answer: "How to find the traveling merchants?"

"Traveling merchants have been wandering in the ruins, and they come to every area. No matter which area we go to, we will meet them in a few days, so we have never thought about looking for them." The old man Bu Xiu showed an apology on his face: "So, I may not be able to help you with this favor."

"Since we can't get any clues, it seems that we have to go separately, each choose a side, and use mental power to explore?" Dox said.

Dox's proposal is quite standard, but Angel did not give an answer immediately, but looked at Ma Qiusha on the side.

Ma Qiusha is still dressed as a teenager, standing next to her husband Crow, and the picture is quite harmonious.

The reason why Angel looked at Ma Qiusha was because when he asked the old man Bu Xiu about the whereabouts of the traveling merchants, Ma Qiusha's emotions fluctuated slightly, as if she knew something.

No one else noticed this, but Angel, whose emotional perception has almost become a special ability, found Ma Qiusha's abnormality.

"Ma Qiusha, do you know the whereabouts of the peddler?"

Angel's sudden question made everyone very confused.

Without any signs, why would Angel suddenly ask Ma Qiusha?

And Ma Qiusha's performance made them even more confused, because...she hesitated.

Hesitation means that she seems to know something.

How did Angel see it?

When everyone was full of questions, Ma Qiusha slowly said: "I, I did meet a peddler today..."
