Chapter 45 Small Town Businessman (seeking follow-up reading)
The styles of Cairns Town and Victoria City are different. The town in front of you is full of a British rural style. This town is not big, and every building has Outside, there are various kinds of plants.
The flea market here is also organized on the streets and in the gardens in front of each villa.
In each garden, there will be one or two stalls.
Anyone can enter the garden on their own and choose what they want from the stalls.
Gu Xi walked around several gardens and found that just as the coachman said, country people really like all kinds of mirrors.
Most of the stalls in the flea market sell all kinds of mirrors, from palm-sized cosmetic mirrors to full-length mirrors as tall as one person, from the most popular mercury mirrors to older bronze mirrors.
Some people even found a large number of mirror fragments from unknown sources and put them on the stalls for sale.
And those who came to buy things didn't take it seriously. Instead, they would point fingers at some mirror fragments, trying to pick out some good things from these mirror fragments.
For such a situation, Gu Xi would not just look at it, he would sometimes take a look at the mirrors.
However, most of them are ordinary mirrors, and only a few parts are mirrors contaminated with strange powers, but not much, and they fall into the category of gray garbage.
However, those who sell mirrors do not think that the things they sell are junk, and often charge quite high prices.
Gu Xi thought at first that he was carrying more than one pound, and even if he was not a rich man, he could still buy something here.
But he never imagined that he was so poor here. With the little money he brought, he really couldn't afford anything.
At the same time, Gu Xi also discovered some cultists here. They didn't even mean to hide their identities, they just walked around openly wearing black robes.
The stall owners and passers-by here were not surprised, and some even greeted them.
Gu Xi had no intention of taking care of such a matter.
At this time, he just regarded it as wasting some time and increasing his knowledge.
Gu Xi had already planned to spend an hour or two here, and after having another lunch, he would return to the previous bus stop and take the steam bus back.
After that, he was not going to leave the tavern. As long as the people on the other side of Destiny Compass settled the matter and he laid an anchor, he could quit the game in front of him.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xi's attitude when looking at the flea market in front of him was different from others.
He didn't want anything, and he didn't want to sell anything. He just came to hang out and kill some time.
This changed the way the stall owners looked at Gu Xi. They all thought that Gu Xi was an expert and they looked down upon the things in front of them.
Gu Xi walked out of a garden and was about to take a look in the garden in front of the next villa when a man stopped Gu Xi sneakily.
"Guest, I think you are looking for good things. I have goods here, top-quality goods."
Gu Xi took a look at the man. He was not too tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a face full of freckles. On his head was a top hat, with messy red hair exposed under the brim.
He was wearing a black trench coat. Even when he was blocking Gu Xi, he pressed the trench coat tightly. His movements were clearly the same as those of the roadside sellers Gu Xi had encountered before.
"What, are there good goods?"
"Yes, over here!" The man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked around and took Gu Xi to the roadside. Then he pulled up his windbreaker to reveal what was under his windbreaker. Hidden things.
Gu Xi took a look and realized, my dear, this guy actually had at least thirty mirrors hidden inside his windbreaker.
Most of these mirrors are mercury mirrors. Some are complete and some are broken. However, each mirror is engraved with magic patterns of one kind or another.
With Gu Xi's current knowledge base, he was unable to fully understand the magic text on the mirror. "How about it, I didn't lie to you, I have good stuff."
"Where did it come from?"
Gu Xi did not take action, but observed from a distance.
"Don't worry about where you came from. My name is Solo. I am a professional. I am an adventurer by profession. I have the ability to find treasures. These are all signed by me. They are different from the fakes on their stalls. I have them all here. They are all good things."
Looking at these mirrors from a distance, Gu Xi couldn't judge the quality of these things. He hesitated and said nothing more.
As soon as Zoro saw Gu Xi's reaction, he knew that he was hesitating, so he immediately said: "It's here, you pick it up and take a look." As he said this, he took off his
windbreaker and put it away. Send it to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi didn't hesitate now. As soon as he touched them, information about these mirrors appeared in Gu Xi's eyes.
[Ordinary mirror (gray)...]
[Mirror stained with a strange aura (grey)...]
[Mirror affected by strange power (gray)...]
[Mirror that has lost its power (grey)...]
Gu Xiyue The look in his eyes became more helpless, and the change in his eyes also fell into Zoro's eyes.
This surprised Zoro. He never expected that Gu Xi would be so picky.
These things are all carefully selected by him.
Even the professionals from the city and the powerful cultists recognized his vision, but Gu Xi couldn't look down on any of them.
After Gu Xi read everything here, Zoro carefully took out a box and said.
The box was completely dark black, and there were many magic patterns engraved on the surface, as if something was sealed.
"I said these guys don't like it, right? Let's take a look at these mirrors. It's not that I don't want to take them out, but these mirrors are so weird that even I have to seal them in lead boxes. ."
"Open it and take a look."
Although Gu Xi was not very satisfied with the mirrors hanging on his windbreaker, he had to admit that Solo still had a discerning eye.
At least half of the mirrors hanging on the windbreakers have a strange aura.
Much better than those sold at those stalls in the garden.
So he is actually very optimistic about Solo's choice.
After hearing Gu Xi's words, Solo opened the box. Gu Xi noticed that there was a fragment of mirror placed on the first layer of the box.
This fragment is only about the size of a palm, but it is made entirely of pure silver. One look at it and you can tell that the original mirror was a good thing.
But for some reason, Gu Xi felt a sense of death on the mirror.
Is this mirror dead?
