After jumping from the second floor of Old Neil Hotel, Sha Duo and Ava walked through the alley one after another and came to the door of Old Neil Hotel again. The guests inside were still as before, drinking and eating. Bragging bragging.
But they would not have thought that the boss who had been teasing and joking with them just now had turned into a gradually cold corpse.
Xia Duo did not look inside, but walked quickly towards the East District with his head lowered. When he entered a section of lightless road, Xia Duo suddenly turned around, looked at the silent darkness behind him, and said:
"Aiwa, I just took something. Where is the safest place to dispose of it?"
"..."
Ava was silent at first, and then said, "I suggest you not handle these things for the time being. The things you took may not be clean."
Xia Duo quickly asked, "What do you know?"
"Judging from the sound of the package on your body, there should be some jewelry and silverware. These things are not what an ordinary hotel owner should own."
After listening to Ava's words, Xia Duo subconsciously pressed the package on his waist. When packing it before, he also wrapped it tightly to prevent it from making any sound. He didn't expect that Ava would hear this.
In addition, Ava said that these things might be unclean, which made Xia Duo a little suspicious, fearing that others would hear it again, "These must be disposed of as soon as possible. What suggestions do you have?"
If he gave up directly, he would indeed be a little unwilling. If he had known this, it would be better not to take it before.
It would be very inconvenient to carry it with him. He couldn't enter the mage tower now. He had to meet Dean and the others tomorrow, and he couldn't find a place to store it.
Therefore, it was best to find a place to dispose of it. He believed that Ava must be more experienced in this regard than him. The worst option was to find a store to sell it. Anyway, heavy snow would come soon. When the time came, he would hide in the mage tower. No one can find him.
Xia Duo "looked" at Aiwa expectantly, and after Aiwa thought for a moment, he found a way, "But I must remind you, even the most reputable middleman may not be reliable."
"I see."
It is a joke to expect middlemen in such gray areas to have integrity. Xia Duo was not naive enough to think that he had done a flawless job in killing Old Neil. It was just that people who could easily know would generally not pursue it, but those who wanted to trace it would not be that easy.
And even if this matter is brought to light, Xia Duo is confident enough to escape unscathed. The only people who need to worry are some simple-minded righteous people who ignore the rules of the territory.
…
Then, Ava took Xia Duo to a leather shop in the East District, which apparently sold leather products such as leather shoes, leather jackets, and leather pants.
As soon as he walked into the store, Xia Duo smelled an indescribable smell of sourness and decay. Even though he had already seen the stench of goblins and orcs, he still couldn't help but frown.
"If you like something, just tell me. Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it."
The boss's attitude was not very friendly. He was busy counting accounts behind the counter, as if he didn't care at all about the two customers who had just come in.
Ava made a gesture and said in a disguised hoarse voice, "Shipping, One Eye introduced me."
Hearing "shipping" and "one eye", the boss raised his head and saw Ava's gesture. He suddenly pulled the rope next to the counter and closed the store door with a bang.
Sha Duo's heart tightened and he instantly entered a state of concentration on spellcasting. Although Ava had already gained some of his trust, this sudden change still made him prepare for the worst.
In a state of concentration, Xia Duo "saw" a faint blue light emitting from the left wrist, fingers, and waist of the leather shop owner opposite. This was a sign that the magic network was distorted, indicating that he was carrying magic items.
Looking at Aiwa again, there was only a very weak blue light around his waist, and Xia Duo secretly prepared himself.
At this time, the boss spoke, "Where are the things? Take them out."
Ava signaled to Xia Duo to take out the things, and while remaining focused, Xia Duo placed the package on the counter and opened it. Inside were the things that Xia Duo wanted to get rid of.
Except for an elf silk scarf, an amethyst ring, and all the paper documents, everything else is here.
Huh--
The boss picked up a small wooden carving and looked at it carefully. He quickly put it down again and couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get it?"
Xia Duo was silent, but Ava still reminded him in that hoarse voice, "You know the rules!"
The boss wanted to say something else, but finally stopped and started to check other items. Xia Duo keenly noticed that the boss had been a little distracted since seeing the small wooden sculpture.
This made Xia Duo pay attention to the small wooden sculpture again. When he collected the things before, he only took a rough look at them. He didn't have time and couldn't understand these things. He didn't expect that there was a "big product" hidden in it.
This small wooden sculpture is brown overall. At first glance, there seems to be some mysterious silvery glow around the edge, but it disappears when you look closely.
The shape of the wood carving is that of a human woman. Although the carving technique is not very exquisite, the eyebrows and eyes are quite expressive. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a heroic woman.
Sha Duo was not sure whether this thing was worth anything, so he asked Ava through [Messaging Technique].
Ava shook his head cryptically. Xia Duo didn't know whether he meant it was not valuable or if he didn't know. He could only watch the leather shop owner quietly as he continued to identify it.
After a while, Xia Duo felt the flame of the oil lamp in the store flicker, and then the boss finished checking all the items and began to quote, "A pair of silver water cups, 25 gold coins, two silver statuettes, 30 gold coins, and a pair of crystal earrings. , 50 gold coins, a silk scarf, 50 gold coins, a pearl necklace, 150 gold coins, and the remaining silver necklaces and earrings are of poor workmanship, totaling 10 gold coins.”
Xia Duo silently calculated in his mind that this was only 315 gold coins. If he were to kill orcs, he would have to kill dozens of orcs to get it.
Then he looked at a group of items on the counter, all of which were bottles and cans. The boss also bid for these items, "2 bottles of burning glue, 20 gold coins, 1 bottle of strong acid, 5 gold coins, 4 bottles of unknown poison, 10 gold coins .”
"Wait a minute, boss." Xia Duo quickly used the [Phantom Sound Technique] and said in the same voice as Ava, "The Blazing Glue is too cheap!"
Although Xia Duo doesn't know how to estimate, that's only because he doesn't know the price of the item. As a common alchemy item, the price of blazing glue is also transparent. Even if Xia Duo has never bought it, he has heard of it.
The boss directly cut the price in half, which means that the prices of the previous items were also cut in half at least. Xia Duo not only complained about the price of Chihuo Glue, but was also dissatisfied with the previous prices.
The boss did not answer Xia Duo, but looked at Ava, "What do you think?"
"Fair enough."
