Chapter 330 Appraisal and Transaction

One thousand gold coins is enough to buy the land of a village.

For most human villages, one thousand gold coins is considered a huge sum of money, and ordinary human farmers simply cannot afford so much money!Although ordinary farmers cannot afford so much money, it is still possible for an adventurer who survives to retire to raise a thousand gold coins if he is willing to sell his last pair of underwear.

Halflings are the race that is best at growing food in the Io world. Sufficient food makes their physical fitness good, and their adventurous nature makes them rich in adventurers.And those adventurers who can survive to retreat, no matter how poor they are, still have some good things in their hands—in other words, most halflings have some treasures "handed down from their ancestors" in their hands.

While most of it is garbage, occasionally some good stuff comes out.

For example: a cloak "handed down from ancestors" in the hands of young warlock Rothko Tealeaves.

Rothko Tealeaves was able to become a legendary figure, and finally established the halfling kingdom, the biggest contributor was that he had a lucky necklace passed down from his ancestors.

It is a very good treasure, which can make the holder immune to most of the prophecy spells - what [biological location], [bloodline location], [item location], all invalid!

If it weren't for that necklace, Rothko would have died in the stinking ditch long ago, and there would be no way he could have survived for so long under the hands of those Military Intelligence agents.Not to mention organizing halflings and establishing a halfling kingdom.

For Green, the necklace in the hands of the warlock boy was not of much use to him.Because there is a spell named [Prevention Detection] in the fifth ring spell, this spell is used to counter various positioning spells in the prophecy spell.Although Green can't make magic equipment with [Proof Defense], it's not a big problem to apply defense detection to yourself several times a day-by the way, you can also improve your skill level.

Although the lucky necklace is of no use to Green, there are other things that can be exchanged!There are nearly a hundred halflings living here. Even if there are no treasures like lucky necklaces, as long as everyone works hard to dig out their pockets, they can always come up with something valuable, right?
Therefore, when Green told the halfling teenagers the price of the magic mirror, and hinted that the teenagers could barter, the minds of the halfling teenagers instantly became active.

It doesn't feel bad for the cub to sell his father's land.

Soon, the halfling teenagers began to come to Green for identification with all kinds of things.

After morning tea, Green used the backpack containing the network server as a stool to identify various "heirlooms" brought by the little ghosts.

But soon, Green discovered that the rhythm was not right at all!

"This is just an ordinary broken sword!" Green directly threw back the dagger that a halfling boy took for identification.

The boy caught the short sword and pouted unhappily: "Master Green, this is my family's family heirloom sword! It was left by my grandfather's grandfather."

"You're right, I believe it! Because this sword is rusty, and it's almost broken!"

……

"Master, this is my favorite toy."

"Well, I can see it. Take it home and play slowly. I don't want this kind of thing."

……

"Master Green, this statue is definitely a treasure!"

"Oh~ This is indeed a treasure, so please take this evil god statue and burn it! Burn it! Burn it! Damn it! Keep that thing away from me! If you have such a thing at home, It’s a miracle that no one has died so far!”

"...Master, both my father and mother are dead."

"Oh, I'm so sorry to speak of your heartbreak. But if you don't want what happened to your parents to happen to you, I suggest you throw this statue in the bonfire and burn it."

……

"Master Green, help me identify this painting." The old village head found Green with a painting.

"Huh!? This is... it turned out to be a fake. I was taken aback. Wait, appraisal? I'm not offering a free appraisal here!"

"That's almost it." The old village chief chuckled, "If it's found to be valuable, I can sell it to you."

Green: "..."

As time went by, for some unknown reason, things changed subtly, and many people regarded Green as a free "appraiser".

Mage itself is a group of professions that are good at item identification, and magic apprentices usually play the role of "identification" and "valuation" in the adventure team, and the "identification" in the one-ring prophecy spell is one of the necessary spells for adventure .

Halflings like to take risks, so they often pick up strange things from strange places. However, "professional appraisers" are too expensive, so Green's appearance just meets the needs of halflings.Some halflings even took this opportunity to start cleaning out their warehouses!

With the help of the system, as well as the experience in previous games, Green's item identification process is very smooth.However, when Green saw a halfling carrying a box of "garbage" for identification, Green's expression collapsed!
"Are you playing with me?"

"Don't, don't be angry." Some halflings with beer bellies scratched their stomachs with a smile, "I'll treat you to dinner at noon."

"Today's six meals are all included! And each meal must have meat and fruit wine!" Green put forward his request.

The halfling scratched his head, thought for a while, and nodded vigorously: "OK!"

"Okay~" Green patted his face, took a deep breath, and continued to identify.

"Garbage~garbage~garbage~" Green threw things out of the box next to each other.

"Hey~ wait, slow down~" The halfling hurriedly picked up the things thrown by Green.

Green glanced back at the halfling: "Those are rubbish, there is no need to pay attention to them."

"But this stone is quite beautiful~" the halfling raised a stone in his hand.

Green couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Well, what you said makes sense, but that doesn't change the reality that it is just an ordinary quartz stone."

Green ignored the halfling and continued to throw things out of the box.

"Garbage~garbage~garbage~eh?" Green found a stone in the box, "White?"

Most stones have gray names, so the presence of one with a white name stands out.

Green picked up the stone and looked at it carefully: "Jade?"

Seeing Green's expression, the halfling instantly became excited: "Master Green, is this stone worth anything?"

"It's worth more than your trash." Green threw the stone directly into the halfling's arms, "Find an empty box for yourself to hold useful things."

"Um...Mage Green, how much is this stone worth?" the halfling asked with a red face.

"For a formal appraisal, the appraisal fee is one gold coin." Green stretched out his hand, "I can issue you a formal appraisal certificate."

"Uh... no need, no need." The halfling quickly waved his hand, "That's enough, that's enough."

Green sighed and continued to identify the stones in his box.

While most of it is trash, it is possible to find gold in the trash as well.In a large box of stones, Green really found a good thing - a fist-sized raw communication stone!
A fist-sized communication stone, and it is still the kind of unprocessed rough stone, is enough for Green to make hundreds of magic mirrors, which just makes up for the gap in Green's current communication stone.

After some negotiation and paying a price of [-] gold coins, Green bought the original communication stone.

Green originally thought that he would spend the morning identifying garbage, but something unexpected happened.

"Master Grimm, this necklace...can you take a look at it for me?" Rothko, a warlock boy, suddenly
"Huh? Oh, this is a magic necklace, very valuable." Green glanced at the warlock boy, not paying attention.

Although this necklace is indeed a good thing, it can be called an artifact for occupations such as assassins and thieves, but it is relatively useless for mages - mages need necklaces that can improve their survivability.And if Green hacked this necklace, the future halfling hero might die young.

"Is this worth much?" Hearing Green's words, the young warlock's eyes lit up, "Then... can this be exchanged for your magic mirror?"

excuse me?Boy, what were you talking about just now?
