Scene 5 Hello, I Am Your Creditor

In Brando's memory, in fact, he has not been to the Ampersell workshop area many times. What he recalled most was the rusted signboard on the side of the trestle in Graywind Harbor, shaking slightly in the sea breeze, the messy interior, like the stove that hadn't been fired for a long time, and the old dwarf reeking of alcohol.

Not that Odok the Red-Nosed was an amazing crafter, but for a keg of spirits the old dwarf will help you with your equipment--as long as he's not too drunk.

Ampersel is different.

After the carriage passed a fortress, the road became extremely narrow and houses were row upon row. The salty sea breeze in my memory faded away layer by layer, replaced by a heavy smell of fireworks. The red signboard is made of brass, and the words on it are extraordinary, carrying the unique cultural atmosphere of the port city.

The carriage passed an old dwarf smoking tobacco leaves at the door with a hammer in both hands, and a shining iron ring on his beard. Or wind elves from Luzik or the forests further north of the Mistweaver Forest in ornate robes, with rings cut out to cover the entire third knuckle to prove their identity as enchanters.

Most of these people are outstanding people from all walks of life, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions, and they are also worth a lot of money. In the minds of most people, the workshop area of ​​Ampersell represents expensive, luxurious and corresponding service quality.

Like the aristocratic atmosphere branded in the bones of this port city.

The history of the workshop area in Ampersel is even longer than this port. It originated from the trading market between the Aruin people and the southern mountain people. Later, this market became Eck's military depot, and then developed into a deep-water anchorage, gradually reaching today's scale. Today, there are still some moss-covered stone pillars on both sides of the road in the workshop area standing in the sea breeze, telling the history of this past.

The carriage slid into the alley, and the sound of the wheels turning in the pottery or textile factory behind the alley also became distant. Then the chic black wood signboard of 'Lusetania' came into view. The magic black wood was suspended between a carved gold-plated bracket. There was no physical connection, but it was suspended by magic and slowly rotated. .

Although it is said that magic in the world of Warnd is common. But being able to use constant spells on the signboard also indirectly explained the style of the shop. This is not a shop related to magic supplies, but an ordinary weapon and armor shop.

The carriage stopped slowly at the main entrance of the 'Lusetania' weapons and armor shop, and no one came out to greet her. Normal people would not open the shop in such a secluded place. However, according to the princess's explanation, it's because the owner is happy and quiet, and the goblins themselves are a strange group.

Brando and Her Royal Highness entered the store, and the interior of Nuoda's store was very elegantly decorated. The dark wood exuding a special aroma is arranged into many counters, and on each counter is a shiny weapon, covered with glass, and a brass nameplate on the velvet pad with the name of the weapon written on it,

Everything from the most common rapier to spear armor.

To Brando's secret surprise, almost all of the displays in the store were magic equipment. It's not the crude work of the shimmering alchemist, but the real magic item, and even some ancient items. What Brando recognized was the heavy ax with the horn head—"Caesarus the Cutter '. Each attack of this giant ax ignores 10% of the armor, and can break through half of the armor at most. An artifact under the elements, this is a good thing. Originally, Brando also said to help the red-bearded Bartom of the Red Copper Dragon Mercenary Corps buy it back-this is the only guy under him who uses an axe, and he is also a rough man. But looking at the price, Brando immediately pretended that he had never thought about it.

Cutter Caesarus has a price tag of 550,000 tor.

Brando immediately felt that the profiteers of players in the past games were just like the model and conscience of businessmen. No wonder this shop is only for nobles. Will anyone patronize this cheating price except those who take money for money?

He looked away and saw that Her Royal Highness Princess was also curiously looking at the furnishings in the shop. However, most of her eyes stayed on the booths displaying all kinds of long swords, and Brando even saw a Zhanguang Thorn following her gaze.

"Hasn't Your Highness the Princess been here before?" He was slightly startled and asked curiously.

I saw Princess Griffin put an index finger on her lips, and replied in a low voice: "No, Mr. Brando. It's my first time here too. But I know the owner here. Aunt Tanya is very close to me. I met you once when I was little."

"Aunt Tanya." Brando thought to himself that this was probably the shopkeeper's name, but it had the characteristics of a goblin's name. The goblins of Vound like to give themselves a human name, but most of them are simple and irregular.

He looked around, and found that there was no one in Nuoda's shop, no—it should be said that there was one. The noise made by the three of them passing through the center of the hall finally alarmed the only employee in the shop. To be exact, Brando saw the head emerging from a large pile of boxes before realizing that there were people here.

But it was a little girl with short brown hair and big eyes looking at them curiously: "What are you here for?"

This question is very meaningful. Because generally speaking, a thief would not patronize at this time, unless he was eager to register in the prison of the city defense cavalry, on the other hand. The rest is only one of the two choices of customers or creditors.

The little girl cleverly did not reveal her relationship with the shop, so that even if the other party revealed that she was a creditor, she could still use the excuse that she was a temporary worker or something else. Brando was thinking in a mess, but the little girl's eyes widened:

"Ah, are you a guest?"

Brando saw her quickly drop what she was doing and ran out in a hurry, before he and Her Royal Highness could yell out 'No! ''careful! ’ The little girl slammed into the door of the open cabinet with an ‘ah’, and bounced back.

There was a rattling sound, and the stacked weapons, armor, and pots were scattered all over the ground——

Brando called out to me at that time, thinking that the store pù did not seem to be as reliable as the legend said.

...

"I'm sorry to surprise the two of you. This little girl is called Carol. Because her father owed me a debt and was temporarily unable to repay it, so she is here to help me for the time being."

Brando and Princess Griffin sat on chairs, and the goblin lady in a gray-purple robe that looked a bit like a usurer sat on the counter, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, who looked a bit like Perry Jewelers in that area. However, he claims to be the manager and investment businessman of the 'Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce', and this weapons and armor store is just a sideline business.

The Silver Cross Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce from the Naios-Deep Water Port area, and it is said that the background is a business organization under the name of the artisan wizard of Buga. Therefore, Brando was very suspicious of her self-introduction.

Fortunately, the wizards of Silver lacked practical influence on the people on the earth—since they practiced isolationism, Brando didn't bother to ask. He glanced at Carol, who was holding her red forehead, with tears in her eyes, and thought, isn't this the legendary child laborer?

Brando sympathized with this.

"This child is too young, Aunt Tanya, how can you have the heart to let her do those things." Princess Griffin also complained, "How much her father owes you, Aunt Tanya, I will pay it on her behalf Bar."

"Hehe." Lady Fairy picked up her white porcelain teacup, which was as small as a play house toy, and took a sip, "You were a little kid when I saw you last time, Griffin. But her father owes you I have a total of two million Thor, are you sure you want to pay it back on her behalf?"

"Ah!" Griffin was taken aback: "Why are there so many!?" Two million Thor is a huge number for most nobles of Eruin, not to mention ordinary people. Even for the royal family and those powerful princes, this is not a small sum of money.

Brando couldn't help but looked at the little girl curiously, wondering how her father was able to owe so much money.

Unexpectedly, Tanya replied: "Her father was my good friend when we took adventures together. I promised to lend him money to open this shop. So in fact, the future owner of this shop will be Ka Luo, I entrusted her to take care of these things. Because as the future master, she should also learn all this."

"Of course, by the way, it's selling yourself to pay off the debt."

"So that's the case, what about Carol's father?" Griffin couldn't help asking curiously.

"Her father has died in this war."

"Ah!" Her Royal Highness finally came to her senses. Brando was also stunned. In fact, he was clearly responsible for supporting his friend's daughter, but he insisted on saying it was borrowing money. This fairy lady's temper is really weird.

"You are amazing, Aunt Tanya." Her Royal Highness praised sincerely, but also felt a little sad, "All this is because the descendants of the Corcova family failed to fulfill their duties. The flames of war spread in the kingdom." .A lot of civilians have been implicated in this war in Ambersea.”

"It's not your fault, Griffin," Tanya replied, "You were an ignorant little girl last time I saw you, but you've become a competent princess in no time. But I heard You don't have a favorite partner yet. So is this knight beside you the knight you fancy?"

"No, it's not." The princess blushed and quickly denied it. But he explained: "Although Mr. Brando is indeed... my knight, it's not like Aunt Tanya, you think."

The goblin lady smiled and said nothing, and Brando suspected that she was teasing them on purpose. Goblins have always been mischievous, and in various legends they have a 'good reputation' for fooling fools. And now Aunt Tanya is clearly enjoying it.

But she quickly recovered.

"Oh?" Lady Goblin turned her head and looked at Brando curiously: "You are Brando?"

Brando suddenly felt a chill, but nodded. I saw Tanya asked curiously: "I heard that you saved Amperesel, are you the hero of this port?"

"That... doesn't really count."

"Your grandfather owed me a holy sword, you don't think you know?"

"Really?" Brando was stunned: "What!?" He yelled, thinking that he had an extra creditor out of nowhere. Looking at this rhythm, it can't be the script of the legendary father's debt repayment.

"You don't know it, the weapon of the Earth Sword Master."

"My grandfather's weapon..." Brando was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered the sword of the Earth Sword Master—it was a mythical weapon called 'Meteor'. Said to be a replica of the Fang of Sirivus, the legendary blade that parted the earth.

The Fang of Sirivus is the hero of the mountain people, Kula's sword. The myth of the mountain people is outside the epic of the Cruz people, but Kura did exist in history, and he also had an adventure with the azure knight. This history is not widely spread, but the Fang of Sirivus is quite famous, because it is said that the mountains of Alqash are the gap formed by this sword's sword.

In the language of the mountain people, the tooth of Syriphus was originally Siri Anlida, the sword that parted the earth. This sword is in a sense even more famous than Kura itself. And the reason why Dalusi, the Sword Saint of the Earth, was named after this was also for this reason.

Brando couldn't help but look at Her Royal Highness Princess. Unexpectedly, Princess Griffin nodded to him embarrassingly: "Mr. Brando, I'm sorry I almost forgot... Your grandfather's sword was given to him by Aunt Tanya when he was young."

"That guy also promised me to exchange my sword with a real holy sword in the future. It doesn't count." Aunt Tanya complained like a child: "But it's okay, his grandson has finally grown up now Adult—"

Damn, it's really a script of father's debt to son!

"Wait, what do you want!" Brando yelled. He suddenly felt that the worst decision he made today was to come here. He originally wanted to repair the equipment, but he didn't expect to meet a creditor. There was definitely something wrong with the script.

"Don't worry. I won't really ask you to find a holy sword. That was a wish when you were young, but now you have lost your sense of adventure." Lady Fairy replied generously.

"You didn't ask me to look for it." Brando replied angrily. He did have a real sword of the earth, which could barely be regarded as a holy sword, but it was the sword he found with great difficulty. , asking him to use it to repay the debt is simply not even thinking about it. He couldn't help slandering in his heart, it's all kinds of good things for others to recognize a powerful relative, why it's his turn to make enemies or creditors. What kind of detestable things did the Sword Saint Darus do during his lifetime?

Ms. Goblin didn't take it seriously for Brando's bad attitude. Instead, he said to Carol on the side: "Carol, can you go inside and help me get that box out?"

"Huh?"

"It's the one with a circle of precious stones on the lock."

"Oh." The little girl who was still teary said oh. Obediently ran to the back. However, Brando looked like this elf lady who was like a profiteer was trying to get rid of the person who was in the way. Sure enough, she turned around and said: "Griffin, Mr. Brando, I want you to help me Can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter with Aunt Tanya?" Before Brando could answer, Princess Griffin on the side had already spoken.

"I want you to help me find something."

"Aunt Tanya... Those legendary holy swords have long since disappeared in the current era. This is no longer the era of the War of the Saints." Princess Grein couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard her words. Obviously, she has some understanding of this 'auntie''s weird temper.

"That's not necessarily the case," Ms. Fairy said disapprovingly. She put down her teacup: "The truly glorious era is just about to begin, but let's not talk about that, I don't want you to help me find a holy sword or something."

"Huh?" Princess Griffin was slightly startled: "Aunt Tanya, what are you looking for?"

"This is actually the reason why I came to Amperesel, and I don't have to find that thing, as long as I can take a look at it. This can be said to be my lifelong wish."

Seeing the disapproval look on Her Royal Highness's face, Brando knew that this elderly fairy lady must have countless wishes in her life. Maybe she had said the same thing when she gave the sword to his grandfather.

"Aunt Tanya, so what exactly are you looking for?"

"The Spear of Azure, I heard that it is hidden somewhere near Ampersel."

"ah--"

Isn't this more outrageous than finding the Holy Sword? Brando had only one thought in his mind at the time... Now that KUSO is gone. Then just recommend the game Lucetia. Although it's just a fan game, its quality is really high. It seems that I played it half a year ago, and I suddenly remembered that I was going to write about a mysterious magic shop pù, so I happened to KUSO)
