Chapter 631 Taobao
When Duanmu Huai walked out of the healing room, his whole expression was one of despair.
After that, it took Duanmuhuai a full hour to explain 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... In response to this, the boss He expressed his understanding, but also regretfully told him... that his request could not be met for the time being.
This disappointed Duanmu Huai.
After spending so much money, the trip was still in vain.
When Duanmu Huai returned to the previous meeting place, Kasim and Rosia were waiting for him there with Ogis.
"Ah, you are back, Mr. Duanmu."
"Well, did you have fun?"
"Fortunately, we are not too familiar with Waterdeep City. We just walked around here. Uh... Mr. Duanmu, what did you do?"
"Oh, I went to take a shower."
Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked at the sky at 45 degrees, and sighed silently.
"Take a bath? It seems that I have been in the wild these days... I also want to take a bath."
"Then why don't you guys try it too?"
Looking at Qasim, Duanmuhuai suddenly changed his expression and showed a strange smile.
"Although that place is a bit expensive, the service is quite attentive, and there is also a massage service, which is enough to make your fatigue go away during the journey."
"real?"
Hearing this, Qasim's eyes widened in excitement, and then he looked at the girl beside him.
"Rosha, let's try it together later!"
"Okay! Kassim!"
Well, sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, you will feel better if you cheat on others.
After coming back, Ogis climbed back onto Duanmu Huai's shoulder and sat down in a familiar manner - well, obviously this was her fixed position.
"Where shall we go next?"
"Next... let's go Taobao."
"………Taobao?"
As a big city, Waterdeep is still very popular with players. Although the level of civilization here is low, there are indeed many good things in the magic prop shops in big cities. Although the combat effectiveness of this world is relatively low, as mentioned before, there are many magical items used to assist, and there are also many good things among them...
For example, take Warrior Road in the Castle District. The weapons shop and armor shop here have a lot of good stuff, even compared to Neverwinter. After all, Waterdeep City has experienced several crises that were almost razed to the ground and survived each time. And because of this, there are naturally many treasures for sale here.
Especially some armors and weapons. Their strength is not rare for big men to use, but they are too expensive for ordinary people to afford. It was just right for Kasim and Rosia. After all, they had just received a large bounty from Lord Nasher. In Duanmuhuai's view, spending the money here to improve their chances of survival was the right way to go.
Sure enough, when Kasim and Rosha came to the weapons store and saw the expensive and powerful weapons and equipment, they couldn't walk. After Duanmuhuai threw the two people with straight eyes to Warrior Road, he turned around and headed to Gem Street next to it, and came to a shop called "Basolol's Rare Curiosities".
As its name suggests, this store sells rare and rare treasures. In game terms, the main items for sale are jewelry such as rings and necklaces, or some magic props. For example, a snuff bottle that can automatically play music... Well, to put it bluntly, it is a good place to buy souvenirs.
After all, Duanmu Huai plans to bring some gifts back to others.
"Jingle Bell………"
Duanmuhuai reached out and pushed open the door. Soon, the doorbell rang loudly. Then Duanmuhuai and Ojis walked into the store. Behind the counter, they saw a thin middle-aged man standing listlessly. , when he heard the doorbell, he raised his head and looked at Duanmuhuai, stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Ah, hello everyone, distinguished guests, welcome to Rare Treasures. What do you want to buy?"
"I plan to buy some gifts for others, as well as some useful and beautiful things for my own use."
Duanmuhuai walked to the counter, glanced at the magic props and accessories placed around him, and then spoke. At the same time, he stretched out his hand 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 him, the shop owner immediately knew that a big customer was coming, and his smile became even brighter.
"Please feel free, whatever you want, just tell me."
"Well...then let me see..."
Duanmu Huai is naturally very familiar with the things sold here, so he can buy them very quickly. He first bought Mary a shadow cloak, which is a cloak with its own invisibility. As long as you put on the cloak and recite the triggering spell, it can be activated, making the wearer invisible for a certain period of time—— —Well, for Mary, this is still very useful.
As for An and Gu Leiya, Duanmuhuai bought them two rings with "advanced magic removal". In the world of Manalia, it seems that mages rarely have this kind of active magic removal skills, so Duanmuhuai Huai planned to buy them two rings to give them more ability to protect themselves.
Of course, in addition to this, Duanmu Huai also bought some gifts for others, most of which were rings or necklaces, and the spells in them were mostly used for assistance. After all, Duanmu Huai just wanted to give them some fun, and did not intend to let them rely too much on these magic items. You know, these magic items are also magical... Well, some annoying two-headed monster might do something with them.
Duanmu Huai was not afraid of spending money anyway, and the owner rarely met such a generous customer, so he was naturally smiling. After wrapping all the gifts that Duanmu Huai requested, the store manager hesitated for a moment, came to Duanmu Huai, glanced at Ojis who was curiously looking at the jewelry not far away, and then lowered his voice and said to Duanmu Huai.
"My dear customer, to be honest, you and I hit it off right away and we get along really well."
"Oh?"
"So... I have something special here, would you like to take a look?"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up. In the game, if the player has high charm, he can persuade the store owner to actively provide some "not for sale" items, but with his current charm value, Duanmu Huai has never thought about it. But now it seems that as long as he spends enough money, he can achieve the same effect?
"Of course, where is it?"
"In the back, please follow me."
"Well... Ojis, stay here for a while, I'll be back soon."
Duanmu Huai said to Ojis, who just nodded slightly, and then Duanmu Huai and the boss came to the room inside. Then Duanmu Huai saw the boss nimbly come to a bookshelf, then press the secret switch next to it, and then the bookshelf slowly slid open, and then a metal safe emerged from it. Then the boss carefully took out a key from his waist and inserted it...
What is so precious? Are you going to sell me an artifact?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also curious. After all, ordinary things cannot be kept so secret and tight. Something that can make the boss so careful must be something very valuable, but... it shouldn't be an artifact. No matter how powerful it is, it is just an ordinary treasure shop. If players want to find artifacts or sub-artifacts, it is usually faster to go and slay dragons and grab treasures by themselves.
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, he saw the boss open the safe, then reached out and carefully took out a large wrapped book from it. This book looks as big as an Oxford dictionary, wrapped in black magic cloth on the outside, and there are chains wrapped around it.
Uh... You won't give me a book of the dead, right? If so, I will turn around and leave immediately.
Of course, the boss didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking at the moment. He carefully placed the book on the table, then opened the chain, and then slowly and carefully removed the black cloth wrapped around the big book. Then, what appeared in front of Duanmu Huai was... a big book with a pink cover, shining with a faint glow, and strange patterns on it.
And just seeing this book made Duanmu Huai's heart jump.
"Boss, could this be the legendary pink..."
"Yes, customer, you really know the goods, this is the pink book!"
"Gulu..."
Duanmu Huai didn't speak, but from his straight eyes and swallowing saliva, you can see the charm of this book.
A long time ago, a man named Abdullah Alhasad wrote a book "Book of the Dead", in which he explained the old seals, the outer gods and other gods in detail, and even recorded a lot of spells. This is the ultimate witch book of the Cthulhu mythology system. Well, I'm going to make a scene.
Actually, it doesn't matter. The so-called Pink Book is similar to the Book of the Dead. It records some creatures from other planes, as well as various spells and divine arts - as long as they are used for pleasure.
Yes, this is why this book is called the Pink Book. Like the Book of the Dead, it is a banned book - of course, the two are completely different in meaning.
After reading the Book of the Dead, you can only gain indescribable despair and collapse.
And after reading the Pink Book, you will experience unprecedented joy and happiness.
Hmm...
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the skinny body of the shopkeeper in front of him again, as if he was taking drugs.
…………… He seemed to understand.
"You want to sell me this book?"
"Yes, dear guest, as you can see, I am... unable to do it, and you... are young and strong, and since you know the Pink Book, it means that you are also one of us. The responsibility of spreading joy and happiness to the world is left to you."
Listening to the owner's tearful explanation and watching his skinny hands on his waist, Duanmu Huai was immediately in awe. He looked at the great book in front of him that carried love and dreams, was silent for a moment, then looked at the owner and made a decision.
"I'll buy it!"
