Chapter 488 The Joy of Being an Ordinary Person
The two left for a while, and when they returned to the auction, they had already turned into two other people, a thick and thick fat man, and an ordinary-looking girl from the countryside. It was really very common to hang out on the busy streets, and no one would have thought of them. It is the focus that has just attracted everyone's attention.
Under the dredging of the city defense army, nobles from various cities in the Kasi Empire, and even from other countries, entered the auction center one after another.
When Sophie arrived here, she didn't go straight into the auction house as Han Shuo expected, but dragged Han Shuo to linger around the small booth, enthusiastically buying some fancy accessories with no practical value.
"This thing is worth three gold coins at most!" Sophie said firmly to the stall owner with a crystal button in her hand.
"Miss, you are a beautiful crystal from the southern part of the Bart Merchant Alliance. You can't buy it anywhere for less than five gold coins!" The stall owner was a thin, middle-aged man with a sincere expression on his face. said.
"Hehe, this kind of crystal is everywhere. Look, the color is not particularly bright, and the button is so rough. How dare you say it is the blue dream crystal from the southern part of the Bart Chamber of Commerce! Ha, how dare you talk nonsense! Nuo, look, the broken crystal on my chain is the blue dream crystal, please take a closer look at the difference in luster!" Sophie took out a string of crystal necklaces from her pocket and shook them in front of the stall owner. Signal him to see the real blue dream crystal clearly.
In this kind of place, there are generally no people wearing space rings. So when they came in, Sophie not only put away the interspatial ring by herself, but also asked Han Shuo to put away the interspatial ring. In this way, the two of them could no longer find anything different from ordinary people.
The stall owner couldn't fool Sophie at first sight. His face darkened, and he said, "Well, four gold coins, if you want it, don't forget it!"
"Three gold coins! Only three gold coins! Your button is rough, and it's only worth this price! Look at the inlay of the button and the crystal. There is still a very thin scratch here. And here..." Su Fei seemed to be an expert, chattering about the shortcomings of this crystal button one by one.
Han Shuo stared at Sophie dumbfounded, listening to her unceremoniously belittle the crystal button for a gold coin, he really didn't know what she was after.
Finally, under a series of bombings by Sophie, the stall owner took the initiative to lose the battle, handed the crystal button to Sophie with a wry smile, and said, "Take the three gold coins. Since what you said is useless, why do you insist on it?"
"Ah! Its shape is still a bit beautiful." Sophie said a good word for the first time. Happily buttoning the crystal buttons on the corner of his clothes, he looked at Han Shuo with a smile and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It's okay!" Han Shuo replied.
After a pause, he added: "It matches your current appearance very well!"
This kind of fake jewelry is made of poor materials and rough workmanship. Apart from the unique shape, there is really no bright spot. However, now Sophie's appearance is also very mediocre, and with this ordinary and crude jewelry, it complements each other somewhat.
Sophie obviously understood the meaning of Han Shuo's last sentence. He gave Han Shuo an angry look. He snorted lightly and said, "Boss, ask him for money. Hmph. I want you to deliberately mock me!"
Three gold coins are really nothing to Han Shuo, but Sophie's attitude made Han Shuo feel a little funny and annoyed, so he took out three gold coins and handed them to the stall owner. Han Shuo followed Sophie and asked, "Just a few coins?" Gold coins, with your wealth, there is no need to waste time haggling, right?"
Sophie is a sky knight, and her father, Solo, is a well-known paladin in the Cassie Empire. No matter how you look at it, Sophie is definitely not a person who is short of money. Such a character is constantly arguing with peddlers for a few gold coins. Han Shuo was baffled.
"What do you know, only at this time can I feel that I am an ordinary person!" Sophie glanced at Han Shuo and pointed out.
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at the flashing trouble in Sophy's eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of Sophy's words.
As the daughter of the paladin Solo, Sophie should be treated as the apple of her eye since she was born. It is estimated that everyone has regarded Sophie as a little princess since she was a child. As long as Sophie likes money and treasures, it must be easy for her to have them. Because of this, Sophie should have never experienced the life of an ordinary person, so she is not interested in auctions where celebrities gather, but lingers in the stalls of small merchants and hawkers.
Han Shuo lived in an ordinary family in the last world. After his soul traveled to the Chiao Continent, his birth was even humbler. He was already used to this kind of life, so he would not be so enthusiastic about this kind of thing, unless some Strange items, otherwise Han Shuo would not have had much fun in this kind of place.
"Oh, by the way, why did you appear here?" Sophie walked a certain distance, and suddenly remembered this question. Immediately, Sophie looked at Han Shuo with some surprise, and said, "You are also willing to find fun in this kind of place? Right? Ha, I should have guessed it a long time ago, from your clothes and interspatial ring, I can see that you should be born very well, it seems that we are still bosom friends!"
Seeing Sophie's self-righteous understanding, Han Shuo shook his head with a smile, and said calmly, "I was not born as well as you. I suffered from all kinds of hardships when I was young. The reason why I came to this kind of place is because Because people who know the goods in this kind of place can indeed find good things!"
"No way, what good things can be found in this kind of place!" Sophie obviously didn't believe it. She was just looking for fun in this kind of place, and she didn't think there was anything really valuable in this kind of place.
"You don't believe it?" Han Shuo looked at Sophie with a smile, as if intending to prove it to her.
"I don't believe it!" Seeing Han Shuo's posture, Sophie said firmly.
"Come with me!" Han Shuo hooked his hand towards Sophie, turned around and walked to another area. It seemed that he really planned to prove to Sophie that he was worthy.
Sophie really didn't believe it. Hurriedly following Han Shuo, I thought to myself, just to see what the hell you can do?
Squeezing seventy to eighty meters among the endless crowd, Han Shuo stopped in front of an unremarkable stall, picked up a gray ordinary stone, smiled at the stall owner and said, "Boss, how much is this stone?"
"Oh, five gold coins, if you really want to buy it, I can make it cheaper!" The stall owner replied casually.
"Just five gold coins!" Han Shuo didn't have Sophie's special hobby, so he took out five gold coins from the interspatial ring in his pocket and handed them to the stall owner.
This time, because of doubts, Sophie didn't bother with the price, and watched Han Shuo leave the booth. She hurried to catch up. This place is already remote. After Han Shuo walked a few steps, he arrived at a very remote corner and waited for Sophie.
Seeing the gray stone clutched in Han Shuo's palm, Sophie said in surprise, "This is the good thing you said? Any mine is full of this kind of gray stone. I can't see its value!"
Smiling and shaking his head, Han Shuo said, "Don't rush to make a definition, just give me your weapon!"
Sophie didn't know why, but according to what Han Shuo said, she took out the long sword from the space ring and handed it to Han Shuo. The exquisite long sword is priceless at first glance.
Han Shuo touched a scabbard, felt the smoothness and moistness of the gemstones inlaid on it, smiled and looked at Sophie, and said, "Sure enough, he is a rich man! No wonder he wants to come here and experience some special fun as a poor man!"
"Stop talking. I'd like to see how you can prove that this stone is a good thing!" Sophie folded her hands on her chest, waiting for Han Shuo's proof with a smile.
Han Shuo smiled and didn't say anything more. He pulled her long sword out of the scabbard in front of Sophie, and flicked the tip of the sword with his finger.
Under Sophie's gaze, the gray stone in Han Shuo's palm dropped layers of gray powder under the force of his five fingers, and the powder evenly fell on the edge of Sophie's long sword. The gray stone turned into fine powder after being lightly sprinkled back and forth. Then Han Shuo's palm "jumped" a group of monster flames.
Sophie was taken aback, and looked at the flame in Han Shuo's palm in surprise. Said: "You also practiced fire magic? No, there is no fire element, what's going on?"
Looking at Phoebe with a smile and shaking his head, Han Shuo did not explain why he was able to ignite a flame in the palm of his hand without the fire element, but reminded Sophie, "Watch carefully!"
After what he said, Sophie didn't ask any more questions, but focused her attention on Han Shuo's movements. Under Sophie's gleaming gaze, Han Shuo moved the flame in his palm towards the blade of the long sword facing the ground. Under the baking of the flame in Han Shuo's palm, the long sword in Sophie's hand gradually became extremely hot. .
"Be careful, this is a gift my father gave me when I became a sky knight, don't break it!" Sophie watched Han Shuo use the flames to bake her saber, and told Han Shuo with some heartache .
Looking at Sophie with a reassuring look, Han Shuo frowned, and the magic energy secretly circulated, pouring into the long sword through the hand holding the hilt. Under the dual effects of the flame and the magic power, the gray powder on the face-up blade melted into the blade of the long sword strangely.
"Huh!" Sophie whispered, startled again by what she saw, and exclaimed in disbelief, "I can't tell, you're still an alchemist!"
Han Shuo didn't answer, and continued to concentrate on dissolving the trenite into the blade, watching all the powder disappear into the blade of the long sword little by little.
Condensed Stone Han Shuo discovered it yesterday. It is a strange material that increases the density of weapons and can make energy flow faster. In the treasure of refining weapons for demon cultivators, Condensed Stone is a very useful stone, but In this world, Han Shuo found that no one knew its function.
There are a lot of condensate stones in Qiluoshan Jinjue Land. Han Shuo had mixed a proper amount of condensate stones in the Demon Killing Front for a long time. Therefore, when Han Shuo saw the condensate stones here yesterday, although Han Shuo was surprised, he was not surprised. Did not make a purchase. This time, to prove to Sophie that there are indeed treasures in this place, I went here to buy one.
By the time all the trenoid powder had melted into the blade, the temperature of the blade was already very hot. At this moment, the flame that was baking the other side of the blade in Han Shuo's palm suddenly changed from red to purple, and there was only a "squeak" sound, and light smoke rose from the blade. This is a natural phenomenon due to the sudden cooling of the high temperature. .
"Be careful! You guy, don't you just take the opportunity to use my long sword to do alchemy experiments?" Sophie was still very worried about the long sword. While reminding Han Shuo to be careful, she wondered if Han Shuo had bad intentions.
"Take it, inject battle energy into it, and see if it's different from usual?" Han Shuo didn't answer Sophie's question, but threw the long sword together with the scabbard to Sophie.
Hastily stretched out her hand to catch the long sword, and as soon as she took it, Sophie exclaimed, "It has become several catties heavier!"
Sophie watched Han Shuo grind a fist-sized stone into powder and dissolve it into the long sword. She couldn't figure out that just some stone powder could increase the weight of the long sword by several kilograms. This was obviously very miraculous.
"Try fighting spirit." Han Shuo reminded with a smile.
Surprised, Sophie immediately poured fighting energy into the long sword in her hand, only to see that Sophie injected fighting energy, and the long sword suddenly lit up with silver fighting energy, and the speed was faster than Sophie imagined.
"How, how is it possible?!" Sophie exclaimed, looked at Han Shuo in disbelief, and hurriedly said, "The long sword's response to fighting spirit has improved a lot!"
"That's right, that's the function of that stone! You should know that at a critical moment, you can release your fighting spirit as soon as you enter the long sword. What does this mean in battle!" Han Shuo looked at Su with a serious face. Fei said.
"I understand, this means that you can seize the opportunity, and you may even turn the tide in a close battle!" Sophie exclaimed, and then looked at Han Shuo with bright eyes, and said: "It's amazing, you are How did you do it? It's incredible!"
