Little Raven jumped and jumped around me cheerfully, like a bird cheering with excitement: although she is indeed a bird. The child was not easy to use, but he also knew that the baby he found had gained recognition, so he was very happy.

I turned over and looked at the silver-white metal plate on this hand. This was found by the small Raven from the "garbage dump" in the corner of the yard, where the other party was all unknown items found by Sagina and Sona from Ancient times remnant. No one can recognize their value without using it, but they are not willing to discard it, so they are stacked in the corner. This piece of silver-white metal is only the size of a slap. It is light in weight and has a low density and high strength that are completely incompatible with its material: I just tried it. If you do n’t need extra strength, just use your hands to break the basic can do nothing about it. This metal plate, which is only a few millimeters thick, produces no deformation. Its outer edge is irregular, but there is no trace of tearing. It seems that it was originally processed into such a way that it is smooth on the one side, but there are many regular and regular dents on the one side. The dents are inlaid with crystals of unknown use, metal plates. There is a neat series of small characters at the bottom edge, which looks like some kind of serial number.

Such a shape, it is difficult for people not to associate it with high science and technology mechanical equipment. Although it is not visible, I guess it is some kind of part: from a device that exceeds this World science and technology level.

In fact, even if it is not a part, it is definitely not what this World should appear. The processing skill of this piece of metal is quite high, and the composition is strange, such a sturdy but lightweight thing, it is not so easy to process.

"Where did you get it from?" I asked Sagina by holding a metal plate.

"Uh, I think about it," Sagina frowned, and there were a lot of things piled in the yard, and they would go to some ruins for an adventure after a short distance, in order to remember this humble metal It is really not easy where the board came from. Sure enough, after recalling for a long time, Sagina can only shake his head apologetically, "The time seems to be not short, I have forgotten where I found it."

Sona saw the disappointed look on my face and immediately added: "But I was slightly impressed: At that time, we seemed to take this to the market and wanted to sell it, because it looks lighter than any metal and The alchemist may be interested in it, but the alchemist who bought it returned it within a few days. He said that this piece of metal could not be processed at all, it was not demonstrative, it could not be melted, and it was not related to any alchemy materials. The reaction is nothing but hard, and it ca n’t be imitated. I think it should be useless, but if you are interested, you can take it away. This is useless for us. "

Shandora took the metal plate, looked over and over for a while, and shook his head: "We are not interested in this piece of metal, but in its source. This thing ... should not appear in this World. "

"Sorry, I can't help," Sagina smiled awkwardly, and then clapped his hands, "Yes, someone may know!"

Shandora immediately squinted eyes: "Who? Can you find it now?"

"I'm afraid it won't work now. He should have gone to the market," Sona shook his head. "This is the time when the explorers go to the market to sell things. We should have gone. If you are not in a hurry, You can follow us in the past. The man is also an adventurer, and he is very qualified. The area he usually explores is similar to the two places we explored. Maybe he has seen something like this. "

Sagina nodded again and again: "That's right, Sona, go to the market to see it, it's too early today, maybe we can still buy something, the booth we rented is not too far from the booth of the old senior , It's exactly everyone passing by. "

Her second sentence was told to us, with a hopeful expression on her face. Of course, we have no reason to refuse, and nodded in response.

Sagina and Sona first returned to the house to pack things, and then came out with two huge backpacks. It seems that the "goods" they want to sell at the market are these two big bags. Sagina smiled proudly at me: "Although others dare not say it, we are still confident in our strength. Let's go, the things to be dealt with today are so many, which were all obtained from the last expedition. It ’s not sorted yet. "

You said that the two girl family carry such a big two bags in front of themselves, can I feel good about it? Of course not, so I shot Lin's shoulder decisively: "Help me in the past." I don't know why. When I handed over this kind of work to Lin recently, I felt completely guilty.

"Ah, no hassle, this is very heavy ..." When Lin went to pick up her backpack, Sagina exclaimed suddenly, but she didn't move in the next second: Lin was holding two feathers The two huge backpacks were “squeezed” in the same way, and then jumped to the front of the team. Sagina stared dumbly at the back, suddenly burst into tears: "The only strength I am proud of ..."

Icetis patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, the only thing that stupid girl is proud of is strength, you don't lose."

The explorer ’s trading market feels very similar to the vegetable market where open-air leased stalls are operated. There are no good facilities or rules, and a large area is divided. The authorities in the picture plan a neatly arranged stalls. Each stall is separated by iron piles and wooden planks. There are simple wooden countertops for storing goods. These stalls are leased to explorers at a very low price. According to Sagina , Almost the same as free use. This shows that this market is more inclined to public facilities or welfare facilities. As one of the biggest lost World transfer stations, Sentu has gathered a large number of explorers in at the same time, which has attracted a large number of scholars and Magic professionals. Therefore, the secret society here is also quite large. For the Sentu authorities, The Secret Society and other high-end academic facilities are the mainstay of the economy, so they will not charge much for this market for explorers.

But this is not how much actual benefits signify explorers can get in this system. As a vulnerable group in society, and still a loose class with no organization at all, explorers always have to suffer-they The object of doing business is the dominant intellectual class. Whether in terms of knowledge, status, or power, the explorers are in a position that has to be slaughtered, and they also have to face the prejudiced market manager and other miscellaneous. Department, these things are the main reasons that make life difficult for explorers.

"If there is a conflict with the scholars, no matter what the reason is, we will suffer, and the city guards will put most of the responsibility on us," Sagina said when he said this, and his face was very annoyed. "After all Many people think so. The explorers are a group of homeless people who do not learn and do nothing, and all of them have a tendency to be violent. If something goes wrong, we will definitely be responsible for it. As far as scholars are concerned, it is a cultured class. , Who would doubt them. Sona and I have been arrested by the City Guard several times, each time because of a dispute with someone ... "

"It's not that you are too stubborn," Sona glanced at Sagina with dissatisfaction. "And it's very impulsive."

I immediately felt the same way. Sagina is indeed a person who is not very repressive of emotions. She writes all her thoughts on her face, and it is normal to easily conflict with others.

We have arrived at our destination during the talk. Sona has found its own stalls. I found that the only difference between this and the market is that each stall is very big: I am afraid that the walls can be used as shops, but I looked around After a lap, I knew why such a large space should be reserved here-a team of explorers selling animal bones and ancestor elephants tens of meters away.

"Some of the older qualified explorers will form a large team, which is much better than the two of us," Sagina noticed my sight and said casually, "In addition to exploring the ruins, sometimes even Will go to the wilderness hunting beasts of the lost World. Those beasts are all baby, but can do nothing about it adapts to the environment of motherland, so it is still a special product of the lost World, and is often fired to a high price. Of course, the two of us will not think Well, we two are quite unremarkable here. "

On the market, in addition to the explorers in various stalls with different clothes race, the rest are the "customers" wearing high-end clothes wandering between the stalls. They come to purchase alchemy materials or research materials, Sagina I may have realized that we do n’t know anything about the explorer industry, and at this moment took the initiative to explain it. I learned that except for a small part of the people who come down to purchase things, they are basically scholars. As for assistants, scholars do not run errands themselves, and they do not like this messy environment.

"Many of the alchemy materials produced by the lost World are fixed. After confessing to the apprentices what they need to buy, there is no need for scholars to run their own legs," Sagina said while putting his things on the countertop. "Only when those old men have Interested, I will come here in person when I want to find new materials. After all, there are still many lost Worlds that have not been fully explored, and new things that no one has seen often appear in the hands of explorers, oh, for example, you found That piece of metal, this rare thing, no one knows what it is for, and the scholars will be interested in this kind of thing. They call this activity of finding new materials on the market 'Taobao' (I would like to insert a sentence: If the customer is satisfied, will you praise it? But I hold back for a long time), under normal circumstances, this is the biggest opportunity for the explorer to get rich, but also by luck, sometimes you think it is a valuable thing, maybe The scholar in the eyes is worthless, and the price is very low, which is also can do nothing about it. "

Lin Xue's slightly raised the corner of his eyes and said with a lip: "In fact, it was pitted. Although you found the thing, except for the technical houses, who knows how much the thing is worth, it must be pitted. . "

Sagina smiled. Obviously she knew the situation herself, but was there any way? Explorers basically have little knowledge. If they have a little more than guts and strength, they will not do this kind of dangerous work, especially race like the Half-Dragon: Born to learn Magic, In this era when the Magic intellectual class ruled World, never learning Magic is equivalent to being doomed to illiteracy forever. Everything with high value on the World is confusing to them. Is there anything worse than this?

"Actually, we are lucky," Sona smiled and spread his hands. "I was once used as a trial by the master master, and there are also places where I can be blessed by misfortune. Although I ca n’t learn Magic, Sagina and I also learned a lot about pharmacy The knowledge of materials science was secretly remembered at the beginning. Although it is incomparable with real scholars, it is often used to judge ordinary and grotesque materials. When I first started working, this knowledge also helped a lot. Written. We are not so easy to be deceived Oh. "

"Now, where is the old explorer you are talking about?" Shallow went out for a walk, and at this moment circled back again.

"Oh, wait a minute, Sagina, you take good care of things, I will lead the way." Sona hurriedly put the things at hand, and said while leading a group of us to more than 100 meters away A stall went: the stall was in the corner, and only one old man who looked drowsy looked at it, and there were just a few things on the bright side. It was very unremarkable, and I suddenly moved: according to the general The routine, like this in the prosperous market, but the outer space, it should be soliciting the guests but sleeping in the side, obviously there are a lot of commodities everywhere, but only a few kind of old man in his stall is absolutely deep Hidden hidden world expert(s), their drowsy double in the eyes hides the wisdom of life, the booth is soiled, and the tattered hide is a rare treasure, usually they will prepare for you at home Two to-be-married daughter|girl-Is it true that I took the non-mainstream route of so many, and finally there will be a mainstream plot?

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly killed a shirtless and strong man pushing a flatbed truck. The big guy rushed to the old man ’s booth and fought against the next big bag of parcels from the flatbed truck. After pouring things out, the drowsy old man suddenly became energized when he heard the sound, skipped over and helped to pack things, and he kept mumbling in his mouth: "I said why did you come! Our family came here for half a pack of cigarettes You ’ve been here for almost an hour! How many things are you delaying ... When I got up early, I said that I would n’t listen if I pushed the car up, okay, when I came directly, I got a big master and bought everything. Laozi keeps an empty stand and watches others selling goods, are you unbeatable? "

The big man hurried to work with his head down, and accompanied him not: "Dad, do n’t be angry, it ’s still early today, and you have to sell it in the afternoon ..."

I: "... hehe, the old man is quite spiritual ... hehe ..."

A large group of us standing next to the booth could n’t be without attention. The old man just picked up a few things and saw us all at once. He suddenly put his hands down and took a shot of the shirtless man ’s shoulder: "Eh What are you talking about, the business is here-you must have come to Taobao to see if you are dressed as a scholar or a noble? It happened that we just took some baby from the bottom of the box at home, and two of them were kids I found it from the caves of the Grey Forest a few days ago, and I swear it has never been on the market ... "

I ’m probably more powerful than the end of being an explorer. I started to introduce my collection in unceasing torrent in the blink of an eye. I heard that this should be a half-retired explorer. Now it ’s him. 'S son and several teammates inherited the mantle, but we didn't come here to listen to him sell things, but Lin Xue opened his mouth a few times and couldn't interrupt the old man's words. In the end, Sona couldn't help it and said loudly: " Uncle Wien! Please listen to others Oh! "

The old man was surprised for a moment, as if to see Sona here: "Oh, Sona, when did you come?"

"I have stood here just now!" Sona looks unhappy. Anyone who is so disregarded will certainly not be happy. "Uncle, have you become a businessman now, as if you know to do business?" . "

"Nonsense, there is a dead-minded son, I do n’t want a way to feed my family!" The old man shouted with excitement, and his white beard trembles, and the "dead-brained son" was all in the air. It ’s really eye-catching to stand next to it. It ’s really eye-catching. On one side is a burly man who can get a dozen bodybuilder awards if he goes to the stage with a little oil on his muscle. It looks like an old man with gray hair and a hunchback on one side, the sound of Hong Zhong is turbulent.

Shandora is not a nonsense to go straight, just take out the metal plate: "Sagina said you may know the origin of this thing, do you know if you know this?"

The old man muttered: "I stopped working last year, but since Sagina said that, it may have been before ..." As he said, he took the metal plate and turned it over and looked at it a few times. Eyes, said firmly: "Two hundred cable."

I was shocked: "What?"

"Two hundred cables," Grandpa raised eyes. "Something so unremarkable, others must have never seen it. The information fee of two hundred cables is already very cheap. Do some old people care about it? This little money won't work? "

Sona glanced at us awkwardly and shouted to the uncle: "They are my friends and Sagina!"

This time it was the turn of the old man who was dumbfounded. He looked at our magnificent "Noble Parade" and suddenly pulled the arm of Sona: "You have eaten the wrong thing? You are just ... you understand . "

"It's true, they are scholars on the road, they met us in the ancient city," Sona of course knew what the other party was surprised, and simply explained a few words, "In short, don't mention money? "

The old man looked at this side inexplicably, and finally stomped his teeth with his teeth. It seemed that he had come up with a good move: "Otherwise, if you do n’t know this, will you give me the money first?"

Me: "..." Lingmeng, I may have found your father who has been lost for many years!

With a steady temper like Sona, I ca n’t take it anymore. The old man finally deflated and waved to us: “Go to Tower of Sky and see, there is a layer of strange metal in my memory , I do n’t know anything else-so what, do you really not buy something? Even if you do n’t need alchemy materials, it ’s good to find some beautiful stones and go back and play some jewelry ... "

Finally, we finally broke our money. Fortunately, Lily Na took this World currency with us. We bought a lot of weird stones and went back. Well, Quandang bought a bunch of snacks for Shandora.

As we turned around and returned, we suddenly heard a noise coming from not far away, which was mixed with the sharp voice of Sagina. (To be continued.
