In the dark room, there is a pair of black cats with charming blue eyes, licking their fur.
The store door was pushed open.
"Why are you so tight? Move back a little."
"It's too... too dark! But... of course I'm not afraid! Humph, I'm a citizen of the Sun God. How can I be afraid of the darkness? Oh, let me hold you!"
"Oh, this is strange. Is it the boundary of the workshop..."
The black cat raised its head in displeasure, and childlike words came out of the cat's mouth:
"Sun worshipers and Hogwarts students are not welcome here, get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry and Lin Lin disappeared from the darkness.
Their eyes blurred, and they were teleported outside the store.
When he looked at the store door again, this unknown magic props shop seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog. No matter how hard he concentrated, he could not focus on the store door.
"Cognitive interference...."
Harry exclaimed: "There is actually a workshop that completely isolates the light element. I have never heard of such a number one person in Aknaits."
Lin Lin looked around blankly: "Where's Stinky Peter?"
"We're still in the store. Please step aside and don't block other people's store doors. The great magician inside doesn't like us."
Many great wizards have extremely weird tempers, and Harry doesn't care. There are even more weird ones in Hogwarts.
Since they were open for business and they didn’t drive Peter away together, they just waited for him to come out.
Inside the store.
The black cat licks its paws.
"If you had said last time that you were buying the medicine to save the girl from the Light Church, I would definitely not sell it to you."
Peter looked at the blue vertical pupils in the darkness and asked doubtfully:
"How do you know I saved her?...Boss, do you have a grudge against the Church of Light?"
Black Cat was noncommittal and yawned.
"what to buy?"
Peter took out the unmarked lantern he got from the Demon King.
"Let me show you something first."
The last time he bought a fish tank and potion from this store, although the price was not cheap for Peter at the time, he had a vague feeling.
The shop owner seems to be very friendly to him?
Later, I asked Harry and gave him a detailed description of the potion's effects and Lin's reaction after drinking it. Harry said that it was impossible to sell it for only fifteen gold coins. If you don't have five or six hundred gold coins for this kind of potion, you can't even touch the bottle cap.
Because magicians who can make this kind of potion are professor-level figures at Hogwarts.
You must know that Lin Lin was almost going to see the sun god at that time. He slept in wet clothes under the heavy snow all night, and he was released to Peter's hometown at a level that would allow the doctor to publish an SCI after he was rescued.
Then think of the description given to him by the store owner:
"As long as I'm not dead, I'll save you."
Lin Lin was barefoot in the snow, and when she took her back to the hotel to take a shower, her feet were already covered with frostbite.
But there was no frostbite when I stepped on Peter's face last night. It was all healed and his skin was as tender as a baby's.
After asking around at the Adventurer's Guild, Peter learned that this mysterious magic item shop had been open for more than a thousand years.
It is said that it has been passed down from generation to generation. Because the store is too small, its reputation is not known, and it is only known by the locals of Aknaiz.
Harry had already shown the lantern and he said he didn't see any magical features and it should be an antique.
Unfortunately, archeology is not Harry's strong point, so he couldn't identify the specific origin.
Antiquities are things from before the Shenyun Era.
The system will only give a vague introduction, and it will not teach how to use it. But since it was a lantern, it was for lighting after all, so Peter took it over and showed it to the owner who specializes in magic items, maybe he could recognize it.
After taking out the lantern, there was no movement in the darkness.
Blue vertical pupils suddenly appeared in front of Peter's eyes.
"Fuck you!"
He was startled, and a light fell from above his head, illuminating Wuming's lantern and the mysterious blue-eyed boss.
This is actually a black cat.
Very ordinary in size, with an elegant red bow tie around his neck, he was standing on a high table, lowering his neck and looking at the ancient lantern in Peter's hand.
"This thing..." Black Cat said solemnly, "Where did it come from?"
"It's given with phone credit."
"?"
"Do you know the origin of this thing?"
Peter had played the game for tens of thousands of hours, and even remembered clearly how many steps there were at the entrance to the Demon King's City, but he had no memory of this thing.
The black cat didn't speak, but raised its paw to signal Peter to put the lantern on the table.
Peter did so.
When the base came into contact with the table, there was a crisp copper clang.
The black cat paced around the lantern, its tail raised and lowered. Unknowingly, it put on a monocle on its left eye.
After a while.
The black cat wearing glasses raised his head and said to Peter:
"It's just an antique, nothing special about it."
"Hey, that's it..."
Peter cursed in his mind.
Dog jb system, you can return it to me, Tiya! ! !
"But I can buy it for three thousand gold coins."
"Ah? How much?"
Brother System, I just spoke a little too loudly, please take it for granted.
"Three thousand."
Black Cat added: "Gold coins."
Another lamp was cast next to Peter, this time it was a long table, with gold coins piled up in mountains, directly reflecting Peter's profile into a golden glow.
With three thousand gold coins, I can buy a house in the hills behind the mountain.
Peter was stunned by the golden light for a long time, and then asked warily: "Since you said this thing is useless, why did you buy it?"
"collect."
The black cat jumped off the table, the lights went out, and the store fell into darkness again.
"The history of this lamp...is even older than the pile of ashes."
"Wood ash?"
"It's not important. It really has no use. It's just a lamp that cannot be traced back to its time."
"If you are willing to sell it, I can offer you five thousand gold coins. This is the final offer. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
Antiquities do have high collection value.
There is no shortage of antique collections in the world that are auctioned for sky-high prices every year. The piece in Peter's hands is probably one of these items with high research and collection value.
Peter thought for a while, but instead of agreeing first, asked:
"Boss Cat, if I want to light this lamp, is there anything you can do?"
"Are you going to light it?"
There was a hint of surprise in Black Cat's voice.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Antiquities."
"Then you still dare?"
"dare."
This is the confidence the system gave me!
Peter thought, since the lantern was a reward obtained by the system from the Demon King, it would definitely be of some use. If he lit it first, it would not be flammable or explosive.
If it was really an ordinary lamp, it wouldn't be too late to sell it.
What? Maybe it's an important token to the Demon King?
Get out of here, there is no way that I, Peter, would have any relationship with that domestic violence woman. The meeting would be a crusade! Fight hard!
Black Cat was silent for a while.
"I advise you not to do this. People who try to restore the glory of ancient relics have died countless times in more than a thousand years. But if you are not afraid of attracting unknown..."
"Then you can find fuel for this lamp, fill it in, and turn the fire knob on the base...if it can still light up."
"Do you have any fuel?"
"No, I won't sell it if I have it." Black Cat jumped into the darkness, "I don't want to die from some karma buried in history."
Peter understood and put away the lantern.
Let Porter gpt check the book.
"If you have nothing else to do, go out."
Peter suddenly showed a flattering smile————
"Then, do you still sell the potion that cost 15 gold coins a bottle last time?"
"What, are you sick again?"
"No, if I want to buy some goods, I'll buy 50 bottles first..."
With a swish, Peter was also kicked out of the darkness by the boss.
The black cat walked into a corner of the store, huddled up in a ball, and then took a nap.
Immediately, a low and hoarse voice sounded from the darkness just behind Peter's location.
"Is he a brave man?"
The black cat raised his head and glanced at Batman, with an interesting smile on his face:
"What do you think?"
