Chapter 71: The Scythe of the Moon (please read it!)
When he heard Mir’s offer, Luo Xiu’s eyes twitched slightly.
Two hundred Nolan gold coins!
This is almost Luo Xiu’s entire savings!
Luo Xiu took a deep look at the dwarf opposite him and felt that he was holding back a smile under his rough skin.
What the fuck...
Luo Xiu cursed secretly, why does this old guy still want to be a blacksmith when he can obviously rob him directly...
And this is not the most important thing.
The most critical point is——
When Luo Xiu heard the price offered by the dwarf Mir, his first reaction was that he didn't have enough money, not that the price was unreasonable!
This is completely contrary to Luo Xiu’s thinking habits.
Something is wrong, nine points is very wrong.
Luo Xiu also dealt with Mir in his previous life, but at that time he no longer worried about money as large as a few hundred gold coins, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
While thinking this, Luo Xiu secretly detected Mir.
Although the dwarf Mir is a "Rune Forger" with the third destiny of [Intellect], Luo Xiu can still see some of his information.
Sure enough, it's in Mir's specialty column.
The dwarf Mir has a rare feat.
——[The eloquence of profiteers]!
[Profiteer Eloquence (Rare): Many years of business experience have awakened your nature as a profiteer... The quotation made by you will be more likely to be accepted within the 500% premium range...]
【……】
"..."
Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly with a playful expression.
Okay, okay, let's play like this...
If it weren't for the fact that he had the status of "Holy Judge" and the special profession of "Rune Forger" was too scarce, Luo Xiu almost wanted to beat up the dwarf opposite him first, and then shop him Everything in there is purchased for zero yuan and can be packed and taken away.
However, since Mir has already made an offer.
Based on the characteristics of his expertise, Luo Xiu can also roughly estimate the true value of "Moon-Cutting Scythe".
——Probably within the range of 40 to 60 gold coins.
While thinking about it, Luo Xiu also stretched out two fingers, smiled at the dwarf Mir and responded: "It's too high, it's my first time here, give me a discount."
"...How about looking at twenty?"
"...?"
This time the pressure was on Mir.
He widened his eyes and looked at the young man opposite him with some confusion.
"Twenty? Twenty platinum coins, of course..."
"Twenty gold coins." Luo Xiu shook two fingers and emphasized.
"..." Mir was stunned.
Luo Xiu was not afraid of angering Mir when he made such an offer.
In fact, just by looking at the dust in the doorway, we can tell that Mir's blacksmith shop is not doing well, and he must be in need of new customers.
Even if Mir is a blacksmith with the third destiny of [Intellect] and wants to establish his own business outside the "Tower of Sages", the customer will always be God.
Combined with Luo Xiu's understanding of Mir in his previous life, Luo Xiu was not afraid that Mir would not sell it to him in anger.
"..."
Mir didn't reply. The oily feeling on his body had disappeared at this time, and was replaced by complete caution.
"You're not here to cause trouble, are you?" Then, Mir said in a solemn voice, "Twenty gold coins is too low anyway."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly, Mir's intuition was very accurate.
In this first round of negotiation, he was the first to cheat, so Luo Xiu was happy to give randomly.
...What if it happens?
"Then you make another offer." Luo Xiu then said, "Give me a good offer this time. I don't have that much patience."
Mir frowned, as if he was thinking carefully about something.
Suddenly, Mir's face hardened and he asked Luo Xiu: "Let me ask you. What can you see from this 'Moon-Cutting Scythe'?"
Come on, come on... This is the serious style of a dwarf craftsman... Luo Xiu's expression returned to seriousness, he took the sickle staff from Mir's hand and looked at it carefully.
His eyes fell on the weapon panel on the sickle staff.

【……】
Luo Xiu carefully browsed the detailed panel of the sickle staff and said to Mir:
"This sickle staff has reached the quality of 'rare' and is almost reaching the quality of 'master'... Well, except for some extremely minor flaws, there is nothing worth criticizing."
"And you, you forged this weapon with moon steel... This material is very rare and can only be collected from Kasyapa Pure Land..."
"Well... the runes you carved for it are spiritually inspiring. This is a very complicated engraving technique..."
"Also, the magic crystal inlaid on the tail of the sickle is the 'Stria Magic Crystal'. It has a higher spiritual transformation rate and is a specialty of the Stria Magic Crystal Mine..."
"Also, you have performed 'Moonlight Tempering' for him at least three times... I guess it should have a considerable hysteresis effect..."
"..."
Combining some forging knowledge from his previous life and analyzing the weapon introduction text on the panel, Luo Xiu talked to the dwarf Mir.
At the beginning, the dwarf Mir just nodded slightly, with no change visible on his face.
But from the moment Luo Xiu mentioned "Moon Steel", the dwarf's expression gradually became confused. He listened to Luo Xiu's narration in a daze, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
When Luo Xiu finished speaking, Mir hesitated for a while and then said slowly:
"You are right... I can even say that you are quite professional..."
"I'm sorry for my previous offer. You are the one who really knows the goods."
"but……"
"...Are you also a blacksmith?"
This was the only possibility that Mir could think of. Luo Xiu shook his head and replied: "I am not a blacksmith... but I do know an excellent blacksmith."
With that said, Luo Xiu took off the black steel dagger with a patterned scabbard that he bought from the Bahrain Blacksmith Shop and handed it to Mir for inspection.
Mir reached out and took it, holding it in his hand for a while and looking at it.
After a long time, Mir sighed and said:
"...The blacksmith you know doesn't necessarily have more forging experience than I do."
"But as an extraordinary person in the "forging" profession, his forging skills are indeed superior to mine..."
Mir immediately handed back the dagger and took the sickle staff from Luo Xiu.
As if he finally understood why Luo Xiu knew so much "forging knowledge", Mir raised his head and said:
"In that case, listen carefully..."
Mil rubbed the sickle in his hand, "If you really want this sickle, I will charge sixty gold coins... This will be enough to cover the cost of the materials and labor."
Luo Xiu knew that Mir was actually a little taller this time.
After deducting costs and wages, Mir can still earn a few gold coins.
But since the dwarf craftsman opposite has lowered his offer from 200 gold coins to 60 gold coins, Luo Xiu is willing to let him make a small profit.
After all, business is all about win-win, and sixty gold coins is indeed within Luo Xiu's budget.
"make a deal."
Luo Xiu said: "Then let me see the extraordinary materials you are selling here... When the bill is settled, I will pay you together."
