The sword of the pirate is like a dream

Chapter 9 Efforts Around Meal Money

As we all know, in the bounty hunter business, everyone is drunk today.

The bounties that many bandits contributed to Io along the way were all spent on buying knives, and the fight with Sauron just now paid for all the knives he saved. He is really penniless now - Of course, the boss probably won't accept weapons to repay the debt.

He did have another ship parked at the pier outside, but there was no sign of caravans coming and going for supplies here, and it was not easy to get rid of such a bulky cargo.And the 50 broken ship didn't have a piece on it, and the pockets of the pirates were cleaner than their faces.

Looking around, the store was empty at this time.

So he lifted his legs and walked out.

It's not that he wants to eat the overlord's meal. He originally wanted to tell the proprietress the fact that he has no money in his pocket, and discuss the solution by the way-the other party really wants to wash the dishes by himself to pay off the debt. The rice should be paid off without having to swipe the dishes for too long.

And now that the proprietress is not here, it is also a solution for him to take this opportunity to go out to get food money and come back.

If you can not wash the dishes, it is better not to wash the dishes.

The street was empty, and they all went to the pier to send off the pirates just now.

Although Ai Ou thought it was a novelty, he still decided to focus on the most important thing in front of him - picking up the knife.Of course, what I picked up were the knives that were broken by myself just now. Strictly speaking, they are already scrap iron, but the boss of the weapon shop will still recycle these broken knives.Although the price is low, it should be enough for a meal.

There were thirteen knives in total, and Ai Ou had already collected them in a short time, and stuffed them back into the scabbard one by one.

The sign of the weapon store is easy to recognize, and you can see the nearest store at a glance.

The signboard is a bit dated and dusty.The door is closed tightly, and the glass window above is covered by curtains so that people cannot see the situation inside clearly; however, the sign on the doorknob indicates that the store is currently open for business——Io He doesn't know the language of this world, but he has been in a lot of weapon shops and he can still recognize the difference between the brands of the normal business and the closed shop.

When he opened the door and entered, the "jingle bell" rang only halfway and then fell silent. The bell tongue passed his eyes and landed straight on the dirty blanket on the ground.

Ai Ou's eyelids twitched, and he decided to pretend not to see it.What a joke, he is still in debt!Besides, he didn't think it was his own responsibility. He made it clear that the store had been in disrepair for a long time, and he was at most half... no, one-third of the responsibility.At most, when the price is negotiated, it is better to make a little concession.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and saw a shiny head behind the counter.The other party was not completely bald, and around the top of the smooth and translucent head was a ring of gray hair that grew straight and wanton all around, looking like a flesh-colored egg lying in the middle of a grass nest.At this time, the gap in the grass nest was facing a newspaper spread out on the counter below, and it was only shown by an egg, and there was no intention of changing the angle at all.

"Boss?" Ao knocked on the weapon rack beside him.

Cao Wo moved slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes below, staring straight over the reading glasses that were placed low on the bridge of the nose.

"Estimate the price of these." The bounty hunter stepped forward, took off the knife on his back and put it on the counter.When he got closer, he found that the other party was sitting on a high stool, and he could see that the body under the large robe was bent and empty, looking quite uncomfortable, but he didn't know how the shopkeeper could bear it.

Dry hands let go of the newspaper and picked up a knife instead. With a "clang" sound, the knife was drawn, followed by a dry voice: "Broken knife? One five thousand berry, sixty-five thousand."

Ai Ou hesitated for a moment, and tried to negotiate the price again—in the past, he would agree directly, but today he has to think more about whether there is enough food here.

The reality of washing dishes weighed heavily on his head.

The shopkeeper saw through his intention in an instant, put the knife back into the sheath, threw it back, and said two words stiffly: "No."

It seems that there is no need to discuss.Due to time constraints, he thought about it and agreed to the price - the proprietress over there might be back sometime, and this weapon shop is the only one in sight nearby; besides, this price is not the cheapest he has ever seen. Seriously, he said that he has seen guys with a unit price of [-] Baileys.

While waiting for the boss to take the money from under the counter, he thought about where he would sell the boat later.After all, as a swordsman, you can't do without a sword.His sword is broken, so he has to sell his boat to buy a sword, and change to a boat by the way.

Before he could figure out why, the shopkeeper's voice was accompanied by the sound of banknotes flapping on the scabbard, pulling him back from his thoughts: "Boy, was it you who fought outside just now?"

Ai Ou's first reaction was that this person came to question the teacher.But he didn't bother to tell such a small lie, and replied frankly; "Yes."

The shopkeeper's face turned serious, "The courage is fair, the talent is fair, but the sword skills are bad. You don't have a master, right? You must have practiced it yourself."

As soon as the subject changed, the old man slowed down his tone, "I know a good swordsman, give me this money, and I may be able to introduce you to learn from him..."

"Don't learn, goodbye!" Ai Ou grabbed the stack of banknotes, turned around and strode out.

Talking so much nonsense, it turned out that I just wanted to covet my little food money.Is it easy for me to pick up some junk?

Behind him, the shopkeeper Kong Kong, who was already confident, squeezed his right hand, which had lost the money, and saw the back of the young man who he thought had the hope of inheriting the mantle of his old friend, but didn't react for a while.It wasn't until the other party walked out the door that he belatedly called out: "Hey, wait a minute! You don't need money!"

He originally thought that no one would cherish the things he got easily, and besides, most of the other party sold off the knife to save money to find a gym to learn, but he didn't expect to leave so simply and neatly, and didn't even give him a chance to use the follow-up skills.

The owner of the store has been with his friends for many years, and he has developed a pair of good ears. He can roughly judge the situation of the battle just by listening to the sound of swords and swords intersecting outside the store. One of them has a solid foundation under the guidance of a famous teacher, but the other has never systematically learned sword skills. , but with excellent talent, I originally wanted to trick an apprentice back for my old friend, but I didn't want to be self-defeating.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he got, and finally jumped off the stool and fumbled out a phone bug from the corner of the counter.

When we returned to the small restaurant, it was still empty, and the messy tableware on the table was placed in a haphazard manner, and no one had cleaned it up yet.

Not long after sitting down, someone strode in again.Ai Ou glanced back, and found that it was a tall figure covering his face, obviously not the proprietress he was waiting for.The other party looked around, and finally fixed his sight on Ai Ou.
