Chapter 76 Buy a Torch

"How about buying a magic flashlight?"

On a whim, I remembered those TV dramas in my previous life, in which we were in the dark, holding a flashlight in one hand and a pistol or dagger in the other, searching for enemies in the corridors.

However, after thinking about it again and again, I rejected this idea. Not only was it inconvenient, but it was also conspicuous.

Just imagine, walking around in a dark cave with a magic flashlight. The dim light in the cave and the strong light released by the flashlight formed a sharp contrast, making my whole body involuntarily form a shining star. star.

The group of demonized bats hiding in the darkness waiting for prey may still be in a drowsy state. Such a bright light suddenly comes, reminding them, "Hey, snacks are here, warm up quickly." Get ready to enjoy it' feeling.

In this case, if those hungry monsters don't attack me, what else can they attack?

How about replacing it with a torch?

On the blue planet, this type of wild animals are generally afraid of fire and avoid it. Do monsters in dungeons also have similar fears?

After thinking about it, I think this method is feasible. Even if it is really useless at the time, a stick with fire is still a good weapon.

After making up my mind, I left the dungeon and it was just afternoon.

I came to the daily necessities store and explained my purpose to the store owner. After a while, the counter was filled with more than a dozen torches of various shapes, long and short.

"These are the most popular ones nowadays," the boss said with a smile while holding on to the counter.

I picked around and found one that looked relatively strong. I weighed it with my hands and scratched it twice with my nails. I nodded and asked the boss, "What's the price of this torch?"

"Thirty silver coins," the boss said sincerely.

But the sincerity on his face looked like naked blackmail in my eyes.

Thirty silver coins. What you are selling is not a torch, but Ye Ming's hammer...

I frowned, looking embarrassed: "Isn't it a bit too..."

"It's too cheap, isn't it?" The boss completely ignored my pained expression and still said diligently, "Yes, the biggest feature of the things I have here is that they are of high quality and low price!"

He took the torch in my hand and said: "Take this one for example. It is made of pure steel, hollowed out and carved. It is a masterpiece. Once the flame is ignited, there will be a vigorous sense of passion. Standing among the crowd, you will immediately feel Become the focus of everyone, become the star of Airui City, and become the most shining man!"

"Well, it's okay to hold up a torch and wave it there. It's quite dazzling." I sweated: "But for the most part, I usually call such people '****'."

"."

The boss was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he did not expect me to say that. At this moment, judging from his expression, he was probably thinking quickly in his mind about how to formulate more appropriate words.

"Young man, come and take a look at this." He took a different approach, changed the subject, and said, "Look at this place."

He pointed at the torch.

I followed his direction and looked over. There was a line of small writing written on the torch, but unfortunately, I couldn't understand it.

I raised my head in confusion and asked, "What is this?"

"You don't understand?"

The boss's expression was very surprised, as if he was looking at an ignorant visitor from outer space. It seemed that these few characters were as well-known as the word 'Brain Money' on the Blue Planet. Anyone who didn't understand these characters was a ****** The presence.

"Does it say..." I scratched my head and guessed: "Ice cream for the Statue of Liberty?"

"No." The boss denied my guess seriously.

"The ghost swordsman's big club?"

"No, it's a name written on it, a name!"

"Demacia?"

The boss was finally defeated by my open imagination. He wiped the sweat from his head and said, "It says Campbell."

"Campbell!"

I was shocked.

"You knew already?"

The boss's expression also became excited.

"who is he?"

Returning to his expressionless state again, the boss almost fell to the ground to death.

"You don't even know the name Campbell!"

The expression on the boss's face was extremely wonderful, his eyes were suspicious, as if he was guessing whether I was playing a trick on him, but he couldn't see any falsehood from my sincere face. He sighed and said casually: "You really are. "

He probably wanted to say that I was ignorant, but he found that it was not polite to say this to customers, and it was not good for his financial future, so he gave up the next words, cleared his throat, and said: "Campbell is actually."

Before he finished speaking, someone behind him said: "Campbell is the master of casting in Zephyr Continent."

I turned around and saw that the person coming was a handsome man wearing a luxurious robe. He was a few years older than me. He had fair skin, blond hair, and a strong aristocratic air.

He smiled and nodded at me, very politely.

I nodded in return.

Behind the man, there were two heavily armed men with fleshy faces who looked like bodyguards. They were looking around cautiously. Judging from their actions, their strength should be about that of a fifth-level adventurer.

While I was still sizing up the man in front of me, the boss behind me suddenly said hello: "Oh, isn't this Master Rodney? He's here for a grand visit, but he's not well-received. He's not well-received!"

He quickly walked out of the counter like a slave, came to the man's side, put his hands into fists, put them on his chest, his eyes shone with greedy and humble eyes, and his mouth, which was not small in the first place, instantly grinned. His ears were still growing exaggeratedly. He had a shy old face and said with a smile: "Master Rodney, what are you going to buy back today?"

His hands kept rubbing together, as if he was fighting off the cold, but I could feel that his palms were sweating and his hands were shaking. According to the words of some unscrupulous teachers: he was either epileptic or ADHD.

Sensing his idiotic behavior, and not knowing whether idiocy was contagious, I immediately moved two steps further away. It's always good to be prepared.

"Not urgent!"

Rodney's voice was not loud, but his movements were very bold. He waved his hand and said: "This little brother came first, let him buy it first."

"Hey, it's rare to see such a polite and well-behaved second generation these days." I muttered to myself, and unconsciously gave him a thumbs up.

The boss turned to me and his face changed instantly, from the humble smile at the beginning to an impatient cold face.

"Thirty silver coins, if you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, then leave."

Hey, judging by the boss's tone and attitude, he looks like a newlywed man who is eager to go home and have sex with his wife after closing time. He will kick people out as soon as he is told.

Come on, I sighed in my heart, just to buy a torch, I don’t want to find any embarrassment, and I can’t be on the same level as him.

Thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "It's too expensive, I won't buy it."

After finishing speaking, I curled my lips and sighed helplessly as I walked away.

"etc!"
