1122 The Stone in the Box

Early October.

Newcastle, the famous trading city on the border of the Kingdom of Sika and the Soma Alliance, ushered in its annual gathering.

The rally lasted five days, and on the third day, the most lively state was reached.

Not only the merchants from Sika and Soma, but also the merchants in the rest of the region came to sniff the smell of money, trying to sell their tight goods, trying to make huge profits.

In addition to the merchants who peddled the goods, there were various speculators, shining their eyes, walking around the city’s grand bazaar, observing the quality of the goods, thinking about the profit after the acquisition, and hesitating whether to shoot.

Amidst the noise, the air of the entire city is smelling of interest.

Miss Anne, with her short ears and short hair, Anne Pompo, was frowning and walking on the streets of the city.

She walked fast and seemed to be in a hurry, constantly squeezing through the crowd.After walking for a while, it will suddenly stop, stay for a few seconds, change a direction, and move forward quickly again.

This is the method she uses to prevent someone from following.

For Anne Pompo, it is clear that she has caused a lot of enemies along the way. Although according to the truth, these people can't chase Newburgh all the way, but be careful-in the past experience, be careful The practice has helped her escape several dangerous situations.

In this way, Anne walked in the city for nearly half an hour, repeatedly confirming that there were no enemies following her, before she felt relieved.

"call--"

With a sigh of relief, Liu Haier, who was somewhat moist, was looking up to a special small market with many single goods gathered in front of him-this is part of Newburgh's annual large market.

Said to be a small market, in fact, the scale is not small, it occupies a whole street nearly 100 meters long.The shops on both sides of the street and the stalls on the street are full of goods-all kinds of ore.

This is exactly the purpose of her coming to Newburgh.

I hope to find something this time... Anne thought in her mind that she simply scanned the goods in the neighboring stalls and confirmed that they were all ordinary goods. She lifted her legs into the first shop next door.

The floor of the shop is covered with a thick wool carpet, which is very soft to step on, and the decoration is also very elegant.

A dozen red lacquered wooden stands stand against the wall. Each wooden stand is divided into dozens of lattices of different sizes. The ore that looks like artwork is placed inside.

Obviously, these are the samples used for the exhibition. If they are selected, there will naturally be someone to contact a large number of supply related matters.

Speaking of which, the amount of money involved in ore-related business will not be low.After all, it is hard to believe that someone came here thousands of miles away just to spend a silver coin and buy a ten-pound stone to be shipped home as a whetstone.

The interests of the ore business are very high, which makes the shops operating the ore business mostly decorated extremely luxuriously, and the service staff in the shops are also extremely enthusiastic.

So, as soon as I saw Anne walk in, the guys in the shop greeted me and asked enthusiastically: "Lady, what do you want to see? Do you need the latest mined sapphire ore, or something... "

As the shop buddies talked, Annie quickly scanned all the exhibits in the shop and determined that there was nothing she wanted.

At the next moment, without any interruption, the buddy replied coldly: "No need."

When the words were down, Annie turned and left, leaving the man in place, letting a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"You... don't need it, just come in and do something!" After a few seconds, the man responded and said.

But Annie didn't even hear it, and at this time, she had already stepped into the second store.

The decoration of the second store is not much different from the first one. It is also extremely luxurious, and the folks are also extremely enthusiastic. Similar to the types of exhibition ores.

No accident, only a moment later, Annie came out and entered the third shop.

Then the fourth store, the fifth store...

After more than ten minutes, Annie had effectively walked through the shops in nearly half of the street, and her face became slightly ugly.

Two eyebrows raised slightly, and Annie stood on the street and pursed her lips, adjusted her mood, and then went into the next shop.

This shop is located at the back of the street. Compared with the rest of the shops, it looks a bit worse. It seems that it is because of poor management and close to failure. The decoration is extremely shabby, and it can even be called-broken.

The carpet on the ground was washed white, and the corners were badly damaged and cracked like a baby's mouth.

The seven or eight shelves placed near the wall are also crumbling, the red paint is peeling off, half of the wooden grid is empty, the remaining half of the ore is also very rough, and some have not even been cleaned, and they are still used when mining There is mud.

The owner of the shop, an old man with white hair, sat behind the counter with his eyes closed.There is a unique indifferent expression on his face, as if he has already determined that the store is going to close, and he doesn't want to struggle anymore, so he is too lazy to greet customers.Annie walked into the door, the old man with white hair just opened his eyes and glanced, then closed again, not wanting to take much effort.

Annie was so happy, standing in the shop, carefully looking at the few ores in the wooden grid.

Shook his head.

Shook his head.

Shake your head again.

After seeing one ore after another, Annie shook her head again and again, making sure it was not her goal.

It seems that this trip to Newburgh is destined to return with disappointment... Anne sighed in her heart.

Lifting her legs, Annie was about to go out. Suddenly, she swept her eyes to a silver-grey lead box over twenty centimeters square on the wooden stand next to her.

"Hey, old man, what is this?" Annie asked, pointing at the lead box to the shop owner.

The white-haired old man was disturbed, opened his eyes unpleasantly, and glanced at Annie, humming: "I'm not polite girl, you can't call me politely? Do you say that box, hum, what can it be, is it not a jewelry box?" ——This is not a jewelry store, as long as you are not stupid, you should understand that it is a box of ore exhibits.”

"Why do you need to put the ore in it?"

"How do I know!" White-haired old man replied very aggressively, "This is not mine, it is someone else's consignment, anyway, already paid, whatever she toss. If you want, give me two gold coins, I It also allows you to put such a box here. If the box is small, a gold coin will do."

"Forget it." Anne rejected the old man's proposal and asked, "I can open it, then?"

"Randomly." The old white-haired man waved impatiently, "I already said, this is not mine, it is consignment. The money given only means that the goods can be put here, and whether it is stolen or robbed, both are I have nothing to do."

Annie: "..." Eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a speechlessness in my heart, and some realized why the store's business situation was so miserable.That is to say, her temper is much better than before, otherwise she can now break the neck of the old white-haired man, and the rest of the customers in this store are afraid that they are in a similar mood.

"Hoo-ho---"

Taking a deep breath, Annie adjusted her emotions, intending to ignore the white-haired old man and reached out to open the lead box.

In her view, ninety-nine percent of the lead box was still a piece of ordinary colored ore. As a result, her eyes shrank as soon as she opened it.

The ore in the box, as he thought, was indeed of ordinary color, but the copper ore of the bad street did not look very pure. It also contained other miscellaneous ores and was of low quality.

However, this ordinary copper ore exudes a weak erosive energy.

This energy makes both her familiar and excited.

Because this is what she was looking for.

Now, finally found it.

Annie clenched her fists.
