Chapter 631 Taobao

When Duanmu Huai walked out of the healing room, his whole expression was one of despair.

After that, it took Duanmuhuai a full hour to explain to the boss and staff of the Healing House that he was not a giant, nor a human with giant blood, but a normal ordinary person... In response to this, the boss He expressed his understanding, but also regretfully told him... that his request could not be met for the time being.

This disappointed Duanmu Huai.

After spending so much money, the trip was still in vain.

When Duanmu Huai returned to the previous meeting place, Kasim and Rosia were waiting for him there with Ogis.

"Ah, you are back, Mr. Duanmu."

"Well, did you have fun?"

"Fortunately, we are not too familiar with Waterdeep City. We just walked around here. Uh... Mr. Duanmu, what did you do?"

"Oh, I went to take a shower."

Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked at the sky at 45 degrees, and sighed silently.

"Take a bath? It seems that I have been in the wild these days... I also want to take a bath."

"Why don't you try it too?"

Looking at Qasim, Duanmuhuai suddenly changed his expression and showed a strange smile.

"Although that place is a bit expensive, the service is quite attentive, and there is also a massage service, which is enough to make your fatigue go away during the journey."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Qasim's eyes widened in excitement, and then he looked at the girl beside him.

"Rosha, let's try it together later!"

"Okay! Kassim!"

Well, sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, you will feel better if you cheat others.

After coming back, Ogis climbed back onto Duanmu Huai's shoulder and sat down in a familiar manner - well, obviously this was her fixed position.

"Where do we go next?"

"Next...let's go to Taobao."

"......Taobao?"

As a big city, Waterdeep is still very popular with players. Although the level of civilization here is low, there are indeed many good things in the magic prop shops in big cities. Although the combat effectiveness of this world is relatively low, as mentioned before, there are many magical items used to assist, and there are also many good things among them...

For example, take Warrior Road in the Castle District. The weapons shop and armor shop here have a lot of good stuff, even compared to Neverwinter. After all, Waterdeep City has experienced several crises that were almost razed to the ground and survived each time. And because of this, there are naturally many treasures for sale here.

Especially some armors and weapons. Their strength is not rare for big men to use, but they are too expensive for ordinary people to afford. It was just right for Kasim and Rosia. After all, they had just received a large bounty from Lord Nasher. In Duanmuhuai's view, spending the money here to improve their chances of survival was the right way to go.

Sure enough, when Cassim and Rosha came to the weapons store and saw the expensive and powerful weapons and equipment, they couldn't walk. After Duanmuhuai threw the two people with straight eyes to Warrior Road, he turned around and headed to Gem Street next to it, and came to a shop called "Basolol's Rare Curiosities".

As its name suggests, this store sells rare and rare treasures. In game terms, the main items for sale are jewelry such as rings and necklaces, or some magic props. For example, a snuff bottle that can automatically play music... Well, to put it bluntly, it is a good place to buy souvenirs.

After all, Duanmu Huai plans to bring some gifts back to others.

“Dingle bell…”

Duanmuhuai reached out and pushed open the door. Soon, the doorbell rang loudly. Then Duanmuhuai and Ojis walked into the store. Behind the counter, they saw a thin middle-aged man standing listlessly. , when he heard the doorbell, he raised his head and looked at Duanmuhuai, stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Ah, hello, dear guests, welcome to Rare Treasures. What do you want to buy?"

"I plan to buy some gifts for others, as well as some useful and beautiful things for myself."

Duanmuhuai walked to the counter, glanced at the magic props and accessories placed around him, and then spoke. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and placed a handful of gold coins on the table.

"Money is no object."

"Oh, of course."

Seeing the gold coins in front of him, the shop owner immediately knew that a big customer was coming, and his smile became even brighter.

"Feel free, whatever you want, just tell me."

"Well... let me take a look..." Duanmu Huai is naturally very familiar with the things sold here, so he can buy them quickly. He first bought Mary a cloak of shadow, which is a cloak with its own invisibility. As long as you put on the cloak and recite the triggering spell, it can be activated, making the wearer invisible for a certain period of time—— —Well, for Mary, this is still very useful.

As for An and Gu Leiya, Duanmuhuai bought them two rings with "advanced magic removal". In the world of Manalia, it seems that few mages have this kind of active magic removal skills, so Duanmuhuai Huai planned to buy them two rings to give them more ability to protect themselves.

Of course, in addition to this, Duanmu Huai also bought some gifts for others, most of which were rings or necklaces, and most of the spells inside were for auxiliary purposes. After all, Duanmu Huai just wants to give them a little fun, and does not intend for them to rely too much on these magic items. You must know that these magic items are also magic... Well, some annoying two-headed monster might play tricks on them. maybe.

Duanmu Huai was not afraid of spending money anyway, and it was rare for the shop owner to meet such a generous customer, so he was naturally beaming. After wrapping all the gifts requested by Duanmu Huai, the store manager hesitated for a moment, came to Duanmu Huai's side, glanced at Ojis who was curiously looking at the jewelry not far away, and then lowered his voice to Duanmu Huai. Huai said.

"This guest, to be honest, you and I hit it off right away. We are very close to each other."

"Oh?"

"So...I have something special here, would you like to take a look?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes also shone. In the game, if the player's charm is high, he can persuade the shopkeeper to provide some "not for sale", but with his current charm value, Duanmu Huai has never thought of it, but now It seems that as long as you spend enough money, you can achieve the same effect?

"Of course, where?"

"In the back, please follow me."

"Well... Ogis, please stay here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Duanmuhuai said something to Ogis, who just nodded slightly, and then Duanmuhuai and the boss came to the room inside. Then Duanmu Huai saw the boss quickly come to a bookshelf, and then press the secret switch next to it. Then the bookshelf slowly slid open, and then a metal safe appeared inside. Then the boss carefully took out a key from his waist and inserted it...

What is so precious? Do you want to sell me the artifact?

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also became curious. After all, ordinary things must not be kept so secretly and tightly. What can make the boss so careful must be something very valuable, but... it shouldn't be possible to have an artifact. No matter how powerful this is, it's just an ordinary curiosity shop. If players want to find artifacts or sub-artifacts, they usually go there by themselves. Slaying dragons and grabbing treasures is relatively fast.

While Duanmu Huai was thinking, the boss opened the safe, then reached out and carefully took out a large wrapped book from inside. The book looked as big as the Oxford Dictionary, and was wrapped in black magic cloth with chains wrapped around it.

Uh... You're not going to give me a Necronomicon. If you do, I'll turn around and leave immediately.

Of course the boss didn't know what Duanmu Huai was feeling at this moment. He carefully placed the book on the table, then opened the chain, and then slowly and carefully removed the black cloth wrapped around the big book—— -Then, what appeared in front of Duanmu Huai was... a large book with a pink cover, a faint light, and strange patterns floating on it.

And just seeing this book made Duanmu Huai's heart skip a beat.

"Boss, could this be the legendary fan..."

"Yes, my guest, you really know the goods, this is the Pink Book!"

"Gulu......"

Duanmu Huai didn't speak, but from his straight eyes and swallowed saliva, you can see the charm of this book.

A long time ago, a man named Abdullah Alhassad wrote the "Book of the Dead", which explained in detail the old seals, outer gods and other gods, and even recorded many curses. The text - this is the ultimate witchcraft book of the Cthulhu mythology system - okay, let's join in.

In fact, it's not bad. The content of the so-called Pink Book is similar to the "Necronomicon". It records some kind of creatures from the outer plane, as well as various spells and divine arts———— As long as it is used for pleasure.

Yes, this is why this book is called the "Pink Book". It is a forbidden book like the "Necronomicon" - of course, the two are in completely different senses.

After reading the "Necronomicon", you can only gain indescribable feelings of despair and collapse.

And after reading "The Pink Book", you will experience unprecedented joy and happiness.

Well…………

Duanmu Huai raised his head and once again looked at the shop owner's skinny body that looked like he was on drugs.

…………He seemed to understand.

"You want to sell me this book?"

"Yes, distinguished guest, as you can see, I am... beyond my capabilities, and you... are young and strong, and since you know the Pink Book, it means that you are also one of my generation, and you will The responsibility of spreading joy and happiness to the world is left to you. ”

Listening to the shopkeeper's tearful explanation and seeing his skinny hands holding his waist, Duanmuhuai suddenly stood in awe. He looked at the great book in front of him that contained love and dreams. He was silent for a moment, then looked at the shop owner and made a decision.

"I bought it!"
