The Last Apostle Chapter 16: Sherlock
This earring was snatched by Du Yuqi from Bai Xiuluo, and even the power of destruction couldn't destroy it, so Du Yuqi felt very curious and took it with him. The master of Su Nan's Shield has been dealing with flames and metals all day long, and has been immersed in it for decades. His experience in this area can be said to be extremely rich. So much so, that no one recognizes its material and origin. Be amazed.
In the end, even Jess, who was obsessed with studying the Shadowless Sword, was shocked. He narrowed his red eyes and looked at the earring for a while, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know this thing either, but luckily it's during the fair, if anyone can know its origin, then it must be that old drunkard Sherlock, this guy has lived for hundreds of years. He is extremely knowledgeable, treacherous, greedy, and has an extremely weird personality. Originally, we still had business dealings with him, but a few years ago, we had a completely bad relationship with him, so we couldn’t directly use our relationship to help you.”
"But one thing you have to remember, although Sherlock is extremely treacherous, he has a smart mind because of the pranks of the gods, so this guy is very good at keeping promises, as long as you succeed in getting him to make promises, it will The guy will definitely finish it."
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"Okay, thank you for your reminder."

About an hour later, Du Yuqi appeared in the black market on the west coast.
Just as where there is light, there must be shadows. Behind the prosperity of the West Coast, there must be a large number of black and gray industrial chains. These industrial chains are concentrated in the black market. The straight-line distance from the most prosperous Shell Street at that time was less than two kilometers.
Unlike what Du Yuqi had imagined before, the black market didn't look dirty, or full of plots, tricks, or crimes. street of the creek.
On both sides of the street about every six meters, there is even a diamond-shaped flower bed, which is planted with Belle Mare bluebells----this is also the city flower of the West Coast----at this time During the flowering period, the palm-sized leaves sway slightly in the night wind, and the bell-shaped blue flowers spit out traces of fragrance in the air, making people feel refreshed when walking on the road.
On both sides of the street, there are quite a few elderly people shaking their fans contentedly, chatting while drinking the local unique barley tea, or playing fighting beast chess in groups of three or four, looking leisurely.
The only thing that seems a little special is that there are more shops on both sides of the street, and they are all brightly lit. Sparse, business seems quite deserted.
The steward who was leading the way for Du Yuqi looked at Du Yuqi's slightly surprised expression, and told him in a low voice that the black market has existed since its establishment on the west coast, and there is already an effective system up to now. This black market is actually a secondary market, and the lowest level of the black market is traded in the dark sewers, which is the most primitive and **** area.
To put it simply, the black market in front of Du Yuqi at this time is equivalent to a regular vegetable market, and the goods entering it have been processed in advance, while the muddy vegetable field and **** slaughterhouse are in In other places, that's why it looks so orderly.
After reaching the intersection, the steward whispered a few words to Du Yuqi, and then he left. Du Yuqi looked up and looked ahead, then aimed at a shop in front of him that was still lit and walked over. The signboard of this shop was very distinctive, it was made of tattered cans, lids, etc. Hanging together, the wind will rattle when the wind blows. It looks like a poor man's wind chime, which makes people almost laugh out loud.
After Du Yuqi opened the door of the store, he found that the furnishings inside were similar to those of a grocery store, but the goods on the shelves were strange and weird, including shrunken human heads, organs soaked in jars, and a dead animal. The bird's bones were reconnected, and the black eye sockets were full.
At the same time, there was an indescribable smell in the air. things.
Du Yuqi knocked on the table and said loudly:
"Is anyone there?"
Soon, a goblin came out from the back of the shop. He had dark skin and a small head. He looked very young, but he had a pair of big nostrils. When he looked up at people, the big nostrils were black. It was particularly obvious that the little goblin sized Du Yuqi up with his anti-thief eyes, and said vigilantly:
"What are you doing?"
Du Yuqi said:
"I heard that you can **** things here, of course I am here to pawn."
The little goblin walked into the counter, and carefully inserted the plug next to it, then tapped his big nostrils and said in a strong nasal voice:
"Bring it."
Du Yuqi took out a Terra Stone from her bosom and said:
"A family heirloom pearl."
The little goblin took a look at it, and his eyes immediately showed surprise, but he forced a nonchalant expression on the surface, and threw the Terra Stone on the table with trembling hands, with a slight excitement. Vibrato said:
"No... worthless! Pearls are cheap, one, no, half a gold coin!"
When the child was talking, his big nostrils opened and closed, and he would **** his nose. Du Yuqi also found it quite funny and said:
"Oh, that's it, you really have a conscience. The previous family was only willing to give me ten silver coins."
The goblin kid's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he obviously blamed himself very much. He felt that he was not a profiteer enough, and that he was not hard enough to lower the price, but he heard Du Yuqi say:
"How about this, half a gold coin is too little, you add eight silver coins and I'll sell it to you."
The child immediately laughed secretly in his heart, the bargaining level of the guy in front of him is really too bad, he can be called a standard fat sheep, so he exhaled rough air from his big nostrils:
"No, no! Add four silver coins at most."
The kid from the Goblin tribe originally thought that he had caught the bottom line of the person in front of him, and he managed to make a big deal out of it. Unexpectedly, Du Yuqi suppressed a smile in his heart, and then solemnly shook his head and said: /
"Forget it, forget it."
As he said, forget it, he walked outside. The goblin kid was dumbfounded. Why didn't the fat sheep follow the routine? Immediately said anxiously:
"Hey, hey, come back, I'll add eight silver coins to you."
Du Yuqi shook her head and said:
"I pawned this family pearl just to find someone to ask a question, but now it seems that you are asking such a cheap price, it is impossible to please people, then I might as well give him the pearl directly As a reward, maybe he can help me answer this question?",
The goblin kid said suspiciously:
"Who are you going to go to? What are you going to ask for?"
Du Yuqi said:
"Of course I went to the famous Master Jess, and I asked about an earring in my hand."
When Du Yuqi said this, he immediately heard a "pop" inside as if something had been broken, and then a figure rolled out like a gust of wind, roaring:
"When did that **** Jess become famous?"
What came out at this time was an old goblin who looked a bit crooked ~IndoMTL.com~ hair, beard, and eyebrows were all white, and although there were wrinkles on his face, it didn't look like he was old and decayed , On the contrary, he was full of spirit, and he was wearing a patched leather armor, but the old man took care of himself very cleanly, especially his eyes were piercing, and he looked very wise.
Obviously, this is the old brother Brin Sherlock, he squinted at Du Yuqi and said:
"Isn't this the priest Du who hit the church hard recently? What did you come to my Sherlock's shop in the middle of the night to do? He also deliberately called Terra Stone a family pearl. Are you going to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"
Du Yuqi was stunned, he didn't expect the news of this old thing to be so well-informed, so he said simply:
"Mr. Sherlock was joking. I came here this time because I really want to ask Mr. Sherlock for help."
Sherlock sneered:
"Hehe, even a powerful force like the Holy Church has suffered a big loss from you. How many bones does my old man have that can withstand your toss, go fast?"
After finishing speaking, Sherlock started to chase people away, making Du Yuqi dumbfounded, explaining again and again, but this old guy seemed very stubborn, so he kicked Du Yuqi out, and let him be shut out.
Faced with this situation, when Du Yuqi went back and talked to Lowry and the others, Lowry said that there was nothing he could do. After all, this old brother Brin is notorious for his eccentric temper, and he is also very treacherous. If you try to fool him, you will probably end up being cheated by him until you lose all your underwear.
