Chapter 971 72. Buying a Magic Sealing Box

For these years, Justus has been living in seclusion on the island of Dunai, where he runs a themed tavern selling information.

This tavern gathered thieves from the nearby sea area. At the beginning, it only sold some private news about the nobles on the island. The thieves here are just like the private detectives in my original world. Their main business is to listen to various information, of course There are also many thieves whose hands and feet are not so clean.However, later on, the tavern became more and more famous in the circle, and many thieves came here admiringly, so the thieves decided to rely on the tavern to establish a thieves' union.

Justus does not participate in the management of the thieves' union, but provides office space for the thieves' union.Over time, Justus and the Thieves Union got along harmoniously, and gradually formed an alliance of coexistence and co-prosperity. Justus also went from the front desk to behind the scenes, and the Thieves Union destroyed all the news that was not good for Justus. , to protect Justus.

Although Justus's mother, the sea demon lady, had passed away a long time ago, Justus did not forget his mother's last wish before she died, and was still persistently collecting information about the treasure of the Pirate King. Looking for the whereabouts of the Pirate King's treasure and the Horn of Soul.

According to the information that Justus has obtained, the half of the treasure map that has been kept in the hands of the eldest son of the Pirate King disappeared on the night of the collective rebellion of the pirates. It is not known who the half of the treasure map fell into. However, according to Gatester's guess, the person who stole the half of the treasure map must be a pirate who participated in the rebellion, and should have a certain status among the pirates.

Another piece of news is: the half of the treasure map kept in the hands of the pirate king's second son was actually snatched away by the sea monster.But Justus said that at that time, the eldest son of the pirate king and his mother jointly killed the second son of the pirate king, but the half of the treasure map had actually already fallen into the hands of the Naga Sea Clan.

Originally, the second son of the Pirate King wanted to use the half of the treasure map as a stepping stone to join forces with the Naga Sea Clan on Vashj Island to deal with his elder brother. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the reinforcements from the Naga Sea Clan had not yet arrived. , was killed by his brother in the sea fog.

These old things are like invisible shackles, tightly tied to Justus.

Unexpectedly, his so-called story actually told me the whole story. I sat in front of him and asked him, "Am I really worthy of your trust?"

He stretched out his trembling hands, grabbed my arm, leaned forward, and said to me in a hurried voice: "I can feel the difference between you and others, you should give me some hope!"

His hands grabbed me tightly, the palms were wet and cold, and the strength in his hands was great.

"I promise you, after finding the treasure of the Pirate King and the horn of the soul, I will only use that horn to hold a soul ceremony. After the ceremony is successfully completed, I will return the horn of the soul to its original owner. This is what I gave to you Promise, maybe I should give you a magic contract, what is written on paper is far more binding than what is said in words." I said to Justus.

He shook his head and said, "No need, I believe—for a nobleman who can make orcs willingly become followers, honesty and trustworthiness should be your basic virtues."

"Then, we should have a good talk about how to cooperate in the future." I shook Justus's hand and said to him.

"I've told you all the information I know, but it's obviously not that easy to find those two treasure maps based on these alone." Justus said to me.

Having said that, I always feel that the treasure map found on Johnny Jones' ship is very likely to be half of the pirate king's treasure map. If so...

I suddenly thought of another possibility, so I asked Justus: "There is one thing that has been on my mind for a long time, and I haven't figured it out. It is if, I mean, if we get half of the treasure map, we Is it possible to guess the specific location of the treasure based on the features of the sea area and the distribution of the islands drawn on the half of the treasure map?"

Unexpectedly, just as soon as I blurted out this question, I got an affirmative answer from Justus: "This plan doesn't work, someone has tried it before."

The indigenous Yero woman beside him helped him arrange the cushions so that he could lie down more comfortably.

Later, Justus said to me: "As far as I know, that treasure map is not a sea map divided into two, it should be like a key. My mother once said to me: Only by finding a complete treasure map can the door to the treasure house be opened."

I lightly pressed my aching head with my hand and said, "What a headache! But we can make a plan."

I said to him: "As for the Naga sea tribe, maybe I can find a way to get in touch. I know a princess of the Naga tribe. I think there is nothing more than a conflict of interests. If we can persuade them to cooperate with us , and share the treasure of the Pirate King together, they have no reason not to accept it!"

"It's great that you know the Naga Sea Clan!" Justus said excitedly.

I touched the bridge of my nose a little embarrassedly, and said honestly: "Actually, I don't know that Naga Hai princess very well, but my good brother knows her very well."

"Oh, right!"

It suddenly occurred to me that Justus was still tormented by the 'drug addiction' caused by the 'devil's blood'. I lowered my head and rummaged in the magic pouch, and found some that could alleviate the 'drug addiction' that I had prepared for Su. Potion of pain.

In fact, this is not a potion at all, it's just a medicinal solution diluted with the 'Shadow Body' potion, after drinking it, it will enter a semi-psychedelic state.

In fact, it can only be regarded as a small amount of "devil's blood", which can only alleviate the pain caused by "drug addiction".

I handed a small bottle of potion to Justus and said to him: "You can drink a little in the most painful time, it can help you through the unbearable pain, but it is not medicine, it can't cure you." Good for your drug addiction."

Justus took the test tube vial with a dazed look on his face before asking me, "What can I do to get rid of that demon?"

"There is no good medicine that can cure your drug addiction. All you can rely on is your own inner and spiritual world that is gradually becoming stronger." I said to Justus.

For a moment, Justus' complexion became very bad. He stared blankly at the medicine bottle in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

……

There is a large free market on Dunai Island. The reason why this free market is so prosperous is that Dunai Island is one of the few natural harbors in the eastern waters of Vashj.

Furthermore, the law and order here is not bad, and many merchant ships are willing to dock on Dunai Island for transactions, so a large market has been developed near the Dunai Island pier.

There are all kinds of goods in the market, ranging from all kinds of wood for repairing the main keel of the ship, to the exquisite brooches on the skirts. Some people sell leather and magic cores of sea animals, and some people sell food, iron, copper, cotton, and pottery. There are many kinds of goods, there are many shops along the street, and there are many people gathering on the street.

Looking at the bustling crowd, it is hard to imagine.This is due to the outbreak of the Dimensional War, and many businesses on Du Nai Island have become much more sluggish. According to Duke Wheeler, the flow of people in the free market in the past was even more than it is now. several times.

A group of us stood at the entrance of a magic store called 'Mokmok', a signboard made of magic red copper dangled on the crossbar, there was no text on it, only simple magic lines, and we could roughly see it A magic sealing box and a bottle of magic potion are drawn. This was originally a magic shop specializing in selling magic sealing boxes and magic herbs.

The magic shop seems a little deserted here, and occasionally some merchants walk in, and most of them will leave with a disappointed face after a short time.

Duke Wheeler was wearing a neat dress. His thin body was full of clothes racks, and the tailor-made dress fit him very well.

He put one hand on my shoulder, looked at the plaque and said to me: "It's all because of the plane war! You must know something, in the entire Vashj plane market, you can hardly find any plant Magic herbs, those magic herbs have been completely controlled by the local nobles, and the current scarcity of magic herbs, I don’t know how long it will last!”

"The situation on Connerson Island is worse than here. Many magic shops can't continue to open and are forced to close." I said to Duke Wheeler.

As he said that, Duke Wheeler's subordinates pushed open the door of the magic shop for us. Duke Wheeler and I walked into the magic shop side by side. The inside of the magic shop looked deserted, and many shelves were empty. At the door, seeing us walk into the store, he quickly greeted us and asked us, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Duke Wheeler glanced over the empty shelves, the waiter's expression darkened, and he hurriedly said to Duke: "Sorry, if the two guests want to buy magic herbs, all the magic herbs in the store have been sold out. Sold out, there are no more magic herbs left."

At this time, my eyes fell on the magic sealing boxes of different sizes and shapes on the other side of the shelf.

It is clearly separated from the empty shelves in the herbal area of ​​the store. The other side of the store is full of magic sealing boxes. Each magic sealing box is painted with some complicated magic circles. Some magic crystal fragments are inlaid in the center of the magic circles. From time to time, some magic power flowed out from the magic sealing box, causing a gleam of magic to float in the room here from time to time.

"Who said we're going to buy magic herbs?" Duke Wheeler put on an arrogant look, and his voice was a little sharp.

Seeing Duke Wheeler's arrogant look, the waiter said cautiously, "So, what do you two guests want to buy?"

Hearing the waiter's question, I turned around and pointed to the magic-sealing box shelf on the other side of the shelf, and said to him, "I want to pick some magic-sealing boxes!"

When the waiter heard that I wanted to buy a magic-sealing box, he immediately showed joy, and quickly led us to the shelf full of magic-sealing boxes, and said to me: "We have nine types of magic-sealing boxes here. , I don’t know what type of magic sealing box the customer needs?”

I patted a two-meter-long and one-meter-high magic-sealing box on the ground with my hand. The magic-sealing box was covered with a layer of mithril-plated magic rune board, and the lines of the magic pattern on the rune board appeared It is very smooth, and there are no obvious signs of magic leakage at some turning points on the magic pattern. Although the magic spar fragments in the gemstone groove in the center of the magic circle have been exhausted, it has to be said that this is a well-made seal. magic box.

"Ah, the one you selected is the largest magic sealing box in our store. Do you really want to buy it?" The waiter didn't expect that I would choose the largest magic sealing box in the store, and his eyes widened. After looking at me for a while and seeing that I didn't change my mind, he introduced to me: "This magic-sealing box is well-made and in the hands of a famous master craftsman. It has almost no shortcomings except for its large size."

I smiled and said to him: "You probably haven't told me how many magic crystal fragments it consumes every day!"

At this time, the waiter didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being told the key point by me. The waiter looked at me, and his eyes obviously said: "You are a knowledgeable person." '

"It consumes a standard magic crystal shard every month." The waiter said to me.

He seemed to want to make up for the bad impression he left on me, and suggested to me: "If you have enough magic items that need to be preserved to fill up this magic sealing box, then buy it. For you, Undoubtedly very cost-effective.”

Then he said to me: "If your magic items are not enough to fill this magic sealing box, then I suggest that you can also buy a box one or two sizes smaller, this one is 120 centimeters long and [-] centimeters high It takes two months to consume a magic crystal shard, and its selling price is only half of this large magic sealing box."

(A standard magic crystal fragment is equivalent to one-tenth of a magic crystal, but the price is only about sixty or seventy silver coins. Ten pieces of magic crystal fragments cannot be exchanged for a whole magic crystal.)
"Speaking of which, this large magic sealing box is not the best-selling model in our store. If you want a more flexible magic sealing box, there are also portable ones here. This kind of magic sealing box is the best seller. , very convenient to carry." At this time, the waiter dug out a more delicate magic sealing box from the counter and placed it in front of me.

However, my eyes never moved away from the large magic-sealing box. After listening to him, I raised my head and asked the waiter: "This kind of large-sized magic-sealing box is in the warehouse of your shop." How much is in stock?"

Hearing my question, the waiter was too shocked to speak, and said after a while: "The sales of this large magic sealing box have not been very good, so there is probably a backlog of this type of magic sealing box in Curry. More than 30 of them!"

I pointed to the magic sealing box that was only one size smaller, with a length of 180 centimeters and a width of [-] centimeters, and asked the waiter, "What about this kind of magic sealing box, how many do you keep?"

"The sales volume of this kind of magic sealing box has been good. There are probably more than 50 pieces in the warehouse." The waiter looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I kept asking about the stock.

At this time, I patted the largest magic-sealing box with my hand, and then patted the smaller magic-sealing box again, and said to the waiter: "Then, I will buy this largest magic-sealing box." , there is also this kind of one that is a little smaller, although it is a little smaller, it is barely usable!"

"Excuse me, how many large magic sealing boxes and second size magic sealing boxes do you want to buy?" the waiter asked me excitedly, his eyes lit up immediately after hearing me say this.

"Oh...all the magic sealing boxes of these two models in your store and warehouse!" I looked at the waiter and said to him calmly.
