my age of magic

Chapter 76 77．silver plated shotgun

No one expected that among the four lots, the most popular was this salamander upper body leather armor with a long slit on the chest. What the young warrior wore was different. The warrior wore a one-piece leather armor, the upper body and the leather pants were sewn in one piece, but the one being auctioned now only has the upper body, and the fiery red salamander skin exudes a glow Kuz told me that the salamander skin is almost the strongest and most durable leather among the first-level monsters. Looking for death in the middle, only wandering in the wilderness, the most powerful monster is this kind of salamander that can make very popular leather armor.

Most of the orcs on the field are excellent leather makers, and they are not worried about the cuts on the leather armor. This also shows that the damaged upper body leather armor is worth repairing. When the auctioneer can offer a starting price of three gold After that, it was doubled by the crazy orcs on the field in an instant, and the final price was seven gold coins and fifteen silver coins. It was bought by an orc hunter. I was amazed that there were some rich people among the orcs.

When the auctioneer Ke Luo introduced the last damaged lot, I woke up like an enlightenment. Who said that I must buy a crossbow to fight, and a shotgun like the one on the booth is also fine for me!With the strength I have now, I should be able to barely use such a short-barreled shotgun, and it is much more convenient to carry than a crossbow.

"This is a very collectible silver-plated shotgun, and it is the work of the famous gun maker Fraggie!" Ke Luo said in the first sentence, and then I felt that the rest of his words were meaningless .This short-barreled shotgun has already been characterized. Such a luxurious, mithril-coated and finely crafted shotgun can only be hung on the wall for admiration, and it is impossible to take it out for use.

"The magic crystal at the core of the lead shot excitation device of this shotgun was accidentally damaged. This silver-plated shotgun has a fatal design flaw, so that it cannot be re-embedded with high-quality magic crystals, so it is placed here! Although this The shotgun is unusable, but it still cannot be concealed that it is an exquisite silver-plated shotgun of blue quality. If anyone here likes firearms, you may as well take this gun away. The starting price for this damaged silver-plated shotgun is three Gold." Auctioneer Ke Luo held the silver-plated shotgun in his hand, showing us the exquisite engraving patterns on this shotgun and the sophisticated craftsmanship.

Unable to use it, I secretly sighed.

Shotguns are rare in the Orc market, because in addition to bows and crossbows, Orc warriors prefer throwing weapons, such as short spears, throwing axes, throwing knives, and so on.Only the guns made by the dwarf craftsmen have no market with the orcs. There are many reasons, but the most important is the price.The manufacturing process of firearms is very complicated, and the price of weapons with magic circles will definitely not be too low, and the practicality is not as good as that of hard bows. The lead pellets used cannot be recycled, and it is far less economical than feathered arrows that can be used repeatedly.In addition, the complex manufacturing process makes the maintenance and maintenance of shotguns very demanding. Orc warriors who are accustomed to carelessness are very disgusted with the maintenance of firearms, so unless there are special needs, few orcs are willing to buy an expensive shotgun. Even think that shotguns are just children's toys.

There is no gunpowder in this era, and the reason why firearms can shoot lead pellets is that the magic pattern circle in the excitation device instantly generates a large amount of energy, and instantly pushes the lead pellets stuck in the gun barrel out.Because the firearm relies on the huge energy generated by the magic circle to push the lead shot, so the user does not need to have strong arms. Even a child can fight the shotgun on the battlefield as long as they learn how to use it correctly.

The dwarves with black humor gave some interesting names according to different grades of lead pellets. The cheapest ones are naturally black pure lead pellets, which are jokingly called black beans by the dwarves.The slightly better copper-clad lead pellets are called copper peas, and the more expensive silver peas with magic damage are shotgun pellets.

"May I ask, Mr. Auctioneer!" Some of the human merchants raised their hands and stood up, interrupting Ke Luo's introduction.

Ke Luo was very dissatisfied at first, and it was very impolite and irritating to be interrupted during the auction, but after Ke Luo found the source of the sound, the angry expression on his face suddenly turned into a warm spring breeze, Very patiently and politely, he reached out his hand to gesture to the man, and said, "Honorable Mr. Reshkos, please feel free to ask questions, and I will do my best to answer you!"

It was not a big man of the orc clan or a strong orc who could make Ke Luo speak in such a humble way, but a businessman who came from human beings, but he spent at least a hundred gold coins in this auction, It accounted for almost one-tenth of the total sales of this auction. At this time, Ke Luo looked more like a pug wagging his tail.

What the businessman asked was quite in line with my intentions. He asked Ke Luo: "Where is this shotgun damaged? Please, Mr. Auctioneer, explain it in detail. Maybe there will be a gun master in my human country who can repair this shotgun." Otherwise, from the perspective of handicrafts, this silver-plated shotgun does not have much collection value."

Yes, what is wrong?This is exactly what I wanted to ask, but Ke Luo only said that the magic crystal at the core of the excitation device was damaged. It stands to reason that the energy stone socket on the excitation device should not be used repeatedly?Even if this piece of magic crystal was not accidentally damaged, but turned into countless particles after the magic power was exhausted, wouldn't it still be necessary to re-insert a new magic crystal?This is exactly the question on my mind.

Ke Luo was slightly taken aback, but immediately reacted and said, "Your Excellency Rishkos, this silver-plated shotgun has been identified by the master craftsmen of our chamber of commerce, and it is the core magic crystal of the magic pattern circle in the activation device. The mosaic groove is damaged, and there is no way to completely remove the broken magic crystal. The magic crystal mosaic groove cannot transfer the energy on the magic spar into the magic pattern circle, so the magic pattern magic circle cannot be activated and generate huge energy to send the lead shot Push it out. The problem now is that it is impossible to take out the shattered magic crystal without damaging the inlay slot. Doing so will only damage the magic pattern on the base point of the magic pattern circle. You must know the core of this gun The component is to activate the magic pattern circle on the equipment. So the current silver-plated shotgun is a bad gun without a magic energy source, and the master craftsman of our chamber of commerce suggested that such an exquisite silver-plated shotgun can be used as an exquisite collection."

"Mr. Auctioneer, you mean that the magic crystal on the silver-plated shotgun is broken, but you are worried that when you remove the magic crystal, it will damage the magic pattern circle of the activation device, so you think this gun cannot be repaired, right?" .If... I mean if! If a magician injects magic power into the magweave circle of this silver-plated shotgun, then this gun can still be used, right? The question now is that ordinary people want to use it like this If you have a shotgun, you must try every means to get rid of the magic crystal shards in the gun, right!" Resh Koss asked the auctioneer Ke Luo.

Ke Luo probably didn't understand the in-depth situation of this silver-plated shotgun. He didn't know how to answer the more professional questions raised by Resh Koss for a while. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to smooth things over, so he stood on the platform I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.Not long after, a waiter trotted up to the square platform and whispered a few words in the ear of the auctioneer Ke Luo. Only then did Ke Luo show a calm expression, and he affirmed to the businessman Rui Xukousi very confidently. Said: "You are right, Your Excellency Reshkoss."

"Well then, I have no more questions, please continue! For this, I personally express my sincere thanks to you and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!"

I suddenly turned my head and asked Sister Guoguo: "Sister, how much magic power is consumed by the magic pattern circle of the general firearm activation device?"

The bored sister Guoguo was already drowsy. If it wasn't for worrying that we might be in danger like yesterday, she would have been unable to stay with Guoguo's character for a long time.After hearing my question, she obviously didn't know that the auctioneer Ke Luo on the stage was auctioning shotguns, she frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Shotguns are only found in the dwarf kingdom, and they are also very rare! This thing is extremely complicated to manufacture and not easy to maintain. Even dwarves who are proficient in equipment don't like shotguns, but the excitation circle on this shotgun is very delicately designed. One of the classic magic circles designed by an elf magister. This magic circle case is still one of the must-teach courses in the magic academy. The whole magic circle is not as big as a matchbox, and the consumption of magic crystals is extremely high. A small amount, a piece of primary magic spar can only excite lead pellets more than ten thousand times. Oh, why are you asking this?"

"Hey! Jia, do you want to buy that shotgun?" Qige, who was sitting on the other side of me, interjected when she heard what Sister Guoguo was talking about, her eyes became very bright, I knew she also found this gun Flawed shotguns are perfect for me.

I have a little bit of magic power, but this little bit of magic power is not enough for me to completely cast a harmful spell. It can be said that after entering the wasteland, I only have a little bit of self-protection ability, but lack of means of attack, I can only Assisting Kurz in hunting from the side, I can't even pull the lightest hunting bow. Orc children like me can usually pick up hunting bows, but I can't, I lack systematic strength training, and I am a human race Children are born weaker than orc children in terms of strength.Later, I thought of holding a crossbow. This kind of crossbow does not require strong arm strength. It can easily pull the crossbow strings apart with auxiliary tools. Any beast from a hundred meters away is enough to rush to me and tear me apart.

However, this defective silver-plated shotgun happened to be missing the power part. Due to the accidental damage of the magic spar, the magic spar inlay groove was also damaged, and eventually it could not be repaired. If the gemstone inlay groove was repaired, the excitation device would be damaged. The magic circle in the middle, so for such a very special shotgun, I feel as if it is tailor-made for me.

I nodded affirmatively, and said to Qige very firmly: "Yes, I want it!"

If two days ago, even if I knew that such a shotgun was very suitable for me, even if I saw it at the auction, I would not be able to afford it, so I would ignore it without hesitation, but now it is different , I secretly touched the purse in my arms, and there were seventeen yellow-orange-orange gold coins in the heavy purse, which made me very confident.

The corners of Qige's mouth curled up, and when the auctioneer Ke Luo announced the start of bidding, he raised his hand again and said loudly, "Three gold coins!"

The businessman named Reshkos said unhurriedly, "Three gold coins and ten silver coins!"

"Four gold coins!" Qige didn't even wait for Reshkos's voice to finish, and the crisp voice echoed in the auction house again.

After hesitating for a while, Resh Koss even raised his eyes and looked towards us. I made a face at him unceremoniously. He was obviously a little surprised. Man, obviously he didn't know our origins, turned his head to discuss with his companions in a low voice, and raised his hand again to ask the price: "Four gold coins and ten silver coins!"

"Metal coins!"

Qige still didn't hesitate at all.

Resh Koss looked at the auctioneer Ke Luo, and finally decided to give up.

Ke Luo, the orc auctioneer, said in a humorous tone: "This silver-plated shotgun now belongs to this beautiful human lady, please come to the front desk to trade with our attendants on the spot. It seems that you are a collector. As far as the broken sword, I am very impressed with you, I wish you a good mood at this auction!"

"Oh yeah!" I yelled, and before Qige could respond, I ran down with my purse.

"Oh no, it's you again, please be careful this time, if you accidentally damage the tables, chairs and stools in the venue, I will ask you to pay me one silver coin for the repair, please be careful This gun is not the same as a broken sword, it might break if it hits a chair." Auctioneer Ke Luo carefully handed the silver-plated shotgun to me, saw that I held it in my hand and shook it, and quickly said I persuaded, I guess he didn't want this shotgun to have any mistakes before it was handed over to Qige, see if a reckless child like me accidentally breaks this finely crafted firearm with extra complicated parts , Having disputes is always bad.

After I got the shotgun, I realized that this silver-plated shotgun is not as heavy as I imagined. The black oak wood stock and copper silver-plated barrel did not put too much burden on my shoulders. Naughty Xiang Keluo grinned, put the shotgun on his shoulder and strode back.

"Hey, kid!" Came Corona's unique voice behind me, and I thought he was calling me.

Looking back at Ke Luo strangely, I saw Ke Luo on the stage beckoning me to wait a moment. A waiter came up from the aisle beside him and handed it to me with a leather bag in his hand. I felt heavy when I took it.At this time, Ke Luo, the auctioneer in the stands, said to me with a smile: "The original owner of this gun also came with a bag of copper peas. of."

I didn't expect that there was a bag of projectiles as a gift, and I hung this leather bag like a water bag around my waist. I took a deep look at Ke Luo before turning around and walking back.

At this time, Sister Guoguo and Qige had already stood up, and they walked straight to the exit of the auction house as soon as I came back.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

Kuz leaned over to me and said, "We have to go to the livestock market in the north of the town to buy an animal. Now our team needs a large animal that can carry loads, or we won't wait until the depths of the wilderness. I’m afraid I won’t be able to carry it.”

I asked in amazement: "Why do you say that you are going there to pick up money? The wasteland is so rich, why don't you see fellow orcs in Yemen Town go to the wasteland to beg for life?"

"How can it be the same? Those low-level monsters in the wasteland, such as wind wolves, hyenas, etc., are still very dangerous to ordinary orcs." Kuz put an arm on my shoulder, and we followed behind Guoguo sister Talking while walking outside the dark passage in the auction house.

I turned my head and glared at Kurz, and said, "Didn't you say that those monsters are not dangerous? Why do you say that they are dangerous to ordinary orcs now? Do you think I can beat an ordinary orc now?"

"You are different!" Kurz said solemnly: "You have me, and I will protect you."

When a child is sworn by another older child: I will protect you!It made my stomach hurt, especially when I was on the underdog, and I wanted to grab Kurtz by the throat and make him swallow those embarrassing words.Kurtz is definitely a very sensitive orc. Seeing the disdain in my eyes, he stared at me and patted his chest and asked me, "Jia, you don't believe me?"

"I believe!"

Sometimes I really can't say too much about this werewolf boy who likes to dig into the horns.
