Chapter 488: Rest at port

Cruise ships operating on the river will dock at every river port, mainly to replenish food and various supplies on board. After all, preserving food is not an easy task in Lost Land. Rather than hoarding large quantities, it is better to buy the freshest at each port, especially all kinds of leafy vegetables. It's also because this place is on a river, not on the sea, that it's so convenient.

On the other hand, it also has the intention of allowing passengers to go ashore for fun. It’s similar to the cruise game on Earth.

In order to change his depressed mood over the past few days, relieve his nerves that were stretched to the limit, and just to be prepared for high-energy threats that he didn't know when they would appear, Lin planned to go ashore for a walk when the cruise ship docked at a certain river port city.

Besides, I am staying on the boat and have not even stepped off the boat for a month. I am almost reaching my limit. The limit here refers to the two apprentices. Because their teacher had no intention of disembarking, their elder sister also stayed behind. They stayed on the ship anyway. The lich, who had been particularly active recently, of course continued to capture the two girls and train them.

There are no Sundays or holidays in Midi, and of course there is no such thing as only going to work or going to class for eight hours a day.

Basically, as long as the hands and feet can still move, and not during eating or sleeping time, the boss will use them to death. If the spoiled bosses on Earth saw it, they would be jealous to death.

As for apprentices, they have no human rights. The only thing that all apprentices worry about is that the teacher is unwilling to give serious guidance. If someone is willing to teach, who has the guts to make irresponsible remarks? If the teacher works hard to teach day and night... the apprentice can only work hard to learn. Then I learned to have two dark circles under my eyes, looking like I didn't get enough sleep.

This was because someone witnessed two girls floating past in front of his eyes, and then completely ignored their teacher. This made Lin feel that it was not okay to continue like this. So in order to help them, the best way is to divert the lich's attention and give the two girls some breathing space. It might be a good idea to invite a certain lich to the streets.

Walking down-to-earth on the noisy streets finally made someone forget their previous worries and gained a lot of attention. This is not because of myself. If he put on a burlap suit and threw it into the crowd, no one would look at him. But the lich next to him, with his tall figure and pretty face, stood out in the crowd no matter what kind of clothes he wore.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing magician shawls on the street. Anyone who is not discerning will definitely notice the two golden tassels after being attracted by Fen's plump breasts, and then stay away.

Because of rudeness, the civilians who were slaughtered by magicians would not have anyone to help them seek justice if there was no power behind them. This is hard to imagine for a time traveler from a society governed by the rule of law, but it is a reality in the world.

The river port on the golden waterway carries goods from all directions. In every city there is something new and exciting that someone will love. But after enjoying it for a while, most of them can only put it back with regret.

As long as you are a otaku and don't have any collecting habits or obsessive-compulsive disorder, you should be a rare breed of otaku. But someone gave up collecting things a long time ago. After all, it can be said that he is now wandering. He bought a bunch of unnecessary things, which only added to the burden of the journey.

You must know that the original two trucks contained, in addition to daily necessities, most of them were high-priced and rare magic materials. Simply put, even if you want to buy something temporarily, you may not be able to buy it. Even so, there are times when someone wants to have a lost version of 'breaking up', but in the end they are reluctant to do so.

But those who bought it were reluctant to throw it away, so they had to at least restrain their desire to continue buying it. Someone thought so while just shopping. However, when walking past a shop with a long sword hanging at the door, he remembered that his spare weapons needed to be replenished.

Because of the high-dimensional pollution caused by flashing, a person rarely carries props or equipment made with magical materials. Materials without magical properties, after flashing several times, will not turn into evil spirits, but they will decay and remain irreparable. But in a potentially dangerous environment, it is impossible to do it all with bare hands, so the most common weapon someone carries is a conventional long sword.

Under normal circumstances, you will have five to six ordinary long swords in your luggage. A while ago, I was so depleted that I only had this handful left with me, so it was time to restock. Just seeing the weapons store reminded someone of this incident.

There are many types of weapon shops in Midland, the most common of which is of course a blacksmith shop. But there are also large workshops that are capable of supplying military equipment, and they operate sales stores. Occasionally, you will encounter shops that are just like merchants, without casting capabilities, just doing business. The small shop in front of me seems to be like this.

When I walked into the store, I saw a dazzling array of weapons. From magic weapons that look high-end and ornately decorated, to bundles of guns, swords, and axes that look just like kitchen knives. There are relatively few bows and arrows, but none of them look like fancy toys. No crossbow though.

Because places outside the city can be classified as dangerous areas, weapons are necessary and buying and selling is legal. Except for a very small number of controlled products, you can build or buy them freely.

There was a time in history when nobles wanted to confiscate weapons from civilians while restricting the freedom to buy and sell weapons. If the nobles who continue to implement such a policy do not change later, no one can continue the family to the current era.

In addition to reclaiming wasteland in the wilderness, civilians who feel that their safety is not guaranteed will defect; and stupidly obey the laws set by the noble lords, no such village can survive the threat of Warcraft.

In the end, there will be no common people under the rule of these nobles, because they either escaped or died. Such nobles are not qualified to continue, and are usually deprived of titles and territories by the king on the grounds of incompetent leadership.

In short, no matter which country or place one is in, the management of weapons is not much different from that of the Song Dynasty back home, or that of the modern American Empire.

However, what he wanted to buy was the most common standard long sword. He ignored all those gorgeous weapons that looked useless. Not to mention that the best forgers in Lost are usually magicians, not dwarves or elves. And in terms of strength, what weapon is stronger than a ship-cutting knife or a machete.

So when Lin entered the door, he skipped the weapons carefully placed on the shelves and walked towards the bundle of bargains. However, next to these mass products, there is a wooden box containing a large number of weapons to be repaired, also of various types.

Lin knew that most of the wooden boxes like this were weapons sold by others, or trophies obtained somewhere. Because they have not been sorted or repaired, they will be placed in this kind of glove box, waiting to be polished again.

But these are also products that can be sold, and the price is naturally much cheaper. For some adventurers who are short of money and confident in their repair skills, they will choose to try their luck and find weapons with good foundation and materials.

When someone first came to Lost Land, he once wandered around in this kind of glove box, hoping to find something missing. But it's a pity that people who can do this kind of business have very poisonous eyes. If there are any leaks, a layman like me can pick them up. Most of the time, the weapons picked out of this kind of glove box are just cheap emergency weapons that are easily damaged.

But today someone's eyes wandered across the glove box in this store, as if he was attracted by something and couldn't look away. That is a very strange-looking weapon.

The sword has a slant handle, a thick spine, one-sided edge, narrow at the front and wide at the back; the tip of the sword is double-edged, with a curvature, like a small hook. If you hold this sword upright, the blade is tilted forward about seventeen degrees. It is not a 'sword' or 'knife' in the ordinary sense. The sword's body was shiny and its edge was intact. It didn't look like an unorganized weapon at all. Even if it is sold as a new product, it is not an exaggeration. But this look...

The lich who had been following him around also followed someone's gaze and saw the strange weapon. But she raised her weapon and exclaimed: "This is really interesting. I actually saw this in a place like this."

At this time, the shop owner's voice came from the side, saying: "Friend, put down the things in your hands, that thing is not suitable for you." Then he complained softly: "I'm just saying that I'm not telling others not to put this thing in the glove box. It's easy for people to take it by mistake inside. Why is it put here again and someone gets it?"

"Oh." Fen didn't flinch at this almost provocative language. The shop owner also seemed to realize that his remarks would offend people, and explained: "I'm sorry, friend. I'm not saying that you can't own the weapon in your hand. But that weapon is a cursed equipment. The previous owner They all committed suicide. Among them were the magicians who were trying to prepare to lift the curse."

Fen was not impressed at all by this horrific record. He took the strange sword, put it on the counter, and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of any curses. Just make an offer and I'll buy it." After saying that, he nuzzled at someone.

Lin had seen Fen's action not only once or twice. Every time it happens, it's your turn to pay, without exception. So someone can only take out the money bag very consciously.

Just when Lin was about to reach out and take it out, the shop owner stopped someone and said, "I would buy this weapon. If the two magicians are not too stupid, there is some story behind it that I don't know." Are you honored to share this part? As a price, this weapon will be given to the two of you. How about it?"

It was a condition that was difficult to give up, but Lin did not dare to agree easily. There is no reason. If you can really see some clues from this strange-looking weapon, that person will only be a lich, not yourself. Since it is not in your own hands, then of course you are not qualified to make any promises.

So Lin and the shop owner looked at the lich who was smiling happily with satisfaction.
