Chapter 523

It was all golden, and the top was not a skull, but a gold coin.

After opening the door, a medieval-style corner shop appeared on the other side of the door.

The trial key in the pocket was shaking violently, and the red light had penetrated the cloth.

The light was dim, and the old wooden window was filled with a dazzling array of objects.

A closer look would reveal that the glass used in the window was not ordinary. When you get closer, you can see a distorted human face wailing in the glass.

Rin did not doubt that as long as you had a bad idea, you would end up miserably.

In addition, there were metal plates with prices engraved under all the items.

The unit of the ghost money was a symbol that looked a bit like a ghost face.

Rin took a quick look.

Good guy, none of the goods sold were less than 1,000.

After all, it was not a grocery store, so it was normal for the items to be of higher quality.

There was no one at the counter, only an old bell.

Rin took Iris Emilia to scan the windows one by one and observe the objects on display.

Natalie took Momo with her and stood by the counter and pressed the bell.

After waiting for a few seconds, a large ball of black fog appeared in the store.

The black fog slowly spread, and a man wearing a colorful robe and a ball mask walked out.

As soon as he came in, he bent over and rubbed his hands, looking like a mercenary.

"Oh, isn't this my respected guest, Ms. Natalie? How come you have time to visit our store today? Do you have anything good to sell to me?"

As he spoke, the merchant also noticed Momo on the side, and a smile appeared on his lips under the mask.

"And the lovely Miss Momo, what do you want to exchange?"

"Momo's treasures will be rewarded to her brothers and sisters, so they can't be exchanged for the time being."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The mysterious merchant was still very kind and took out a little bear lollipop and handed it to Momo.

This is not an ordinary snack, it has the function of restoring magic power.

Momo happily took the lollipop and put it in her mouth.

Natalie coughed lightly: "Mysterious Merchant A, where is the key?"

"Key?"

Merchant A looked at Lin's still shaking pocket, and the smile on his lips became even wider.

"So it's the outsider who came to challenge this time? It's indeed a customer who needs a key."

He turned and walked behind the counter, rummaged inside, and finally found a very heavy metal box.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear some noises inside.

After operating the rune lock on it, the metal box was opened.

Red light shone directly on his chin, and a blood-red key was shaking in the soft cloth.

Merchant A took out the key, took out the cloth and wiped it carefully.

"This key is not easy to price. Those who don't need it are worthless, and those who want it dare not challenge it, but it is really extremely precious and cannot be measured with ghost money."

He put the key on the counter with some distress and pushed it forward.

"Alas, compared to other seniors, I really can't ask for too much... How about this, Ms. Natalie, as long as you get to the tenth floor, help me get a voodoo doll called Quanzi?"

Natalie frowned: "Isn't this asking for too much? Although I live on the ninth floor, I also know that she is the true love of a domain master on the tenth floor. Do you want me to go there without returning?"

There are only three domain masters on the tenth floor, second only to the Lord of the Dead City.

Basically, if you pass one of them, you can pass the level with the normal ending.

"How could that be? Then wouldn't I lose a key in vain?"

Merchant A still looked like a philistine, and his voice was still a little exaggerated and aggrieved.

"I've heard from my predecessors that the mysterious domain master on the tenth floor has been gone for a while. Now there are only some servants. Witch, you can definitely go there.

Besides, why don't you go there when you have the ability to reach the tenth floor?

You are willing to pay 30,000 ghost money for a way to advance to the tenth floor without providing props. Isn't this... not worth it?"

Natalie didn't believe his nonsense.

Let's not talk about whether other people would have bad intentions when the domain master is gone.

Just for his last sentence, as long as you have a good brain, you know the gap between a newbie and an old domain master.

However, she really has some confidence and assurance.

Adding the last sentence...it really convinced her.

"Well...since it's a promise, there's nothing I can do. Take out the contract."

Merchant A's mouth was already wide open, he laughed and took out the contract that he had prepared long ago.

This is a unique ability of merchants. It is authorized by the dead city and has strong restraint and punishment capabilities.

Natalie signed the contract happily and threw the key to Lin.

Lin took the key and glanced at her in surprise.

"When I reach the tenth floor, you can find me if you need help... um, I need money for the underworld."

"...If you didn't say the last sentence, I would be very touched."

Merchant A checked the contract, watched Lin put the two keys together, and suddenly slapped his head.

"As additional information, I heard from an old senior that the trial key will increase in difficulty as the number of floors increases, but the rewards will not change. Stranger, you'd better enter early?"

Rin was stunned and looked at the key in his hand in confusion.

It turned out that his previous plan to upgrade first and then enter the trial was a very wrong idea?

Good guy, it's only the second floor.

According to his original idea, he had to wait until he was stuck before going, which would take at least six or seven levels.

Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

He suddenly became impatient, and his thoughts drifted to the legendary trial.

Natalie saw his eagerness and took out all the props she was going to sell.

Trading with the mysterious merchant would definitely be discounted by about 20%.

It was just for the sake of convenience and speed, without having to spend a lot of energy and time looking for buyers.

And when Natalie estimated the price, she also estimated it based on the minimum after the discount.

In the end, the total transaction price of these things was 35,000 ghost money.

After the transaction was completed, Rin took out the dice and the sheep head pendant at Natalie's signal.

Unfortunately, Merchant A couldn't see anything and introduced them to other more powerful merchants.

Leaving the mysterious shop and returning to the forest, Rin stared at the key in his hand, his eyes bright and fiery.

Chapter 41 Going to the sea, and then being ridden by the cat-eared girl

The sea breeze tonight is still very cool, making people feel quite relaxed and happy.

The sun has just set, and the fiery sunset glow that has infected half of the waves is also quickly becoming dim.

On the horizon, there is only the end that can never be reached, and there is still a dark golden halo.

Rin sat up lazily from the deck and stretched.

Maybe it was because of the sea breeze that blew all day, or because he was tossed by the waves on the deck for a long time.

He now feels a little confused, dazed, and his memory is a little unclear.

Pat his head and tried to recall, but he felt a kind of confusion after drinking.

"Could it be that I drank too much last night? No...I don't seem to drink much."

Thinking carefully, those memories slowly entered my mind.

His name is Lin, because he is a commoner, he has no surname in this country.

He was separated from his parents because of a disaster when he was a child, and then met a kind fisherman.

The fisherman raised him and taught him the skills of fishing and sea fishing, and then he passed away in a storm.

Currently, he inherited the fisherman's old fishing boat and depends on his only daughter.

And... now he is going out to sea for night fishing because of an order from a restaurant.

The order is a black salmon that is at least 1.2 meters long, and the asking price is as high as 1 gold coin.

However, because the number of black salmon is rare, the living area is complex, and the fishing net cannot catch it, he can only rely on sea fishing experts like him.

Precious fish are all like this.

If you are a real fishing expert, you can make more money than a small fishing boat in the same sea trip.

Recalling his mission, Lin stretched again, sat up, and walked towards the cockpit.

There was someone in the cockpit, a little girl wearing a worn-out captain's hat.

"Brother!"

The little girl saw Lin coming in and waved happily.

"Momo, how long is it to Little York Sound?"

Momo is not only his sister, but also the helmsman of this fishing boat.

So... is it really not illegal to employ child labor?

Oh, it's not illegal, at least there is no such rule in Giorar County.

Rin didn't know why the word "illegal" suddenly popped up, and it always felt a little weird.

Momo held down the brim of her hat and pointed happily at the nautical map.

"It's more than 40 nautical miles away! Brother, do you want to eat something?"

"Well, I'm really a little hungry." Rin touched her stomach, "What do you want to eat?"

"Pickled peppers, fried sausages, and a plate of hot macaroni with meat sauce. It would be even better if there were baked shrimp with cheese~"

Rin patted her little head with a smile: "Are you here to make money or travel? You order food all day long, you really think your brother is a chef."

"Brother~Momo wants to eat~"

The cute little girl, with her shining eyes, defeated him instantly.

With a gentle smile, Lin gently touched her head.

"Okay, brother will do it for you."

"I know that brother is the most considerate and gentle!"

"... Hmm?"

My mind suddenly went blank for a while, and then a sense of disobedience came to my heart.

I always feel that this word seems... not heard often.

Is it an illusion? Inexplicable.

I have always been like this.

Lin scratched his head, turned around and went down a few steps from another door in the cockpit to enter the living cabin.

After he left, Momo shook her little head, looking a little confused.

"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Brother Lin... Isn't brother always like this?"
