My Magic Age

No one expected that the most popular of the four lots would be this fire lizard upper body leather armor with a foot-long cut on the chest. This well-made fire lizard leather armor is different from the one worn by the young warrior of the Wolf Warrior Clan before. The warrior wore a one-piece leather armor, with the upper body and leather pants sewn together, while the one being auctioned now is only the upper body. The fiery red fire lizard skin exudes a bright glow. Kuz told me that the fire lizard skin is almost the strongest and most durable leather made from the first-level monsters. This is also the monster standing at the top of the food chain in the wasteland on the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. As long as you don’t step into the mountains on the northern foot to seek death, and just wander in the wasteland, the most powerful monster is this fire lizard that can make very popular leather armor.

Most of the orcs on the field were probably excellent leather craftsmen, and they were not worried about the cuts on the leather armor at all. This also shows that this damaged upper body leather armor is worth repairing. When the auctioneer Koro quoted a starting price of three gold coins, it was instantly doubled by the crazy orcs on the field. The final price was seven gold coins and fifteen silver coins. It was bought by an orc hunter. I was amazed that there are still some rich people among the orcs.

When the auctioneer Koro introduced the last damaged item, I woke up like a sudden enlightenment. Who said that I must buy a crossbow to fight? A shotgun like the one on the booth is also fine for me! With the power I have now, I should be able to barely use such a short-barreled shotgun, which is much more convenient to carry than a crossbow.

"This is a silver-plated shotgun with great collection value. It is the work of the famous gunmaker Freki!" Koro said the first sentence, and then I felt that the rest of his words were meaningless. This short-barreled shotgun has been identified. Such a shotgun with luxurious exterior decorations covered with mithril and finely carved can only be hung on the wall for slow appreciation, and there is no way to take it out for use.

"The core magic crystal of the lead bullet excitation device of this shotgun was accidentally damaged. This silver-plated shotgun has a fatal design flaw, so it cannot be re-inlaid with high-quality magic crystals, so it is placed here! Although this shotgun cannot be used, it still cannot hide that this is a blue-quality exquisite silver-plated shotgun. If anyone present likes guns, you might as well take this gun away. The starting price of this damaged silver-plated shotgun is three golds." Auctioneer Ke Luo took the silver-plated shotgun in his hand and showed us the exquisite carving patterns and sophisticated craftsmanship on this shotgun.

It can't be used, I sighed secretly.

Shotguns are not common in the orc market because orc warriors prefer throwing weapons besides bows and crossbows, such as short spears, throwing axes, throwing knives, etc. Only the firearms made by the dwarf craftsmen have no market among the orcs. There are many reasons, but the most important one is the price. The manufacturing process of firearms is very complicated. The price of weapons with magic patterns will never be too low, and the practicality is not as good as hard bows. The lead bullets used cannot be recycled, which is far less economical than feather arrows that can be reused. In addition, the complex manufacturing process makes the maintenance and care of hunting rifles very demanding. The orc warriors who are used to being careless are very disgusted with the maintenance of firearms. Therefore, unless there is a special need, few orcs are willing to buy an expensive hunting rifle. Some orc warriors even think that hunting rifles are just toys for children.

There is no gunpowder in this era. The reason why firearms can fire lead bullets is entirely due to the magic pattern array in the excitation device that instantly generates a large amount of energy to instantly push out the lead bullets blocked in the barrel. Because firearms rely on the magic pattern array to generate huge energy to push lead bullets, users do not need to have strong arm strength. Even children can carry hunting rifles to the battlefield as long as they learn the correct way to use them.

The dwarves, who have a dark sense of humor, gave interesting names to lead pellets of different grades. The cheapest ones are naturally black pure lead pellets, which the dwarves jokingly call black beans. The slightly better copper-coated lead pellets are called copper peas, and there are more expensive silver peas with magical damage, which are all shotgun pellets.

"Can I ask, Mr. Auctioneer?" Someone among the human merchants raised his hand and stood up, interrupting Ke Luo's introduction.

Ke Luo was originally very dissatisfied. Being interrupted during the auction was very rude and annoying. However, after Ke Luo found the source of the voice, the anger on his face suddenly turned into a warm spring breeze. He patiently and politely extended his hand to signal the man and said, "Your Excellency Reshkos, please feel free to ask questions. I will do my best to answer them for you!"

The person who could make Ke Luo speak so humbly was not a big figure of the Orcs or a strong Orc, but a businessman from the human race. However, he spent at least 100 gold coins at this auction, which accounted for almost one-tenth of the total sales of this auction. At this time, Ke Luo was more like a pug wagging its tail.

The question asked by the businessman was very much in line with my mind. He asked Ke Luo: "Where exactly was this shotgun damaged? Please tell me in detail, Mr. Auctioneer. Maybe there will be a gun master in my human country who can repair this gun. Otherwise, from the perspective of handicrafts, this silver-plated shotgun has little collection value."

Yeah, what's wrong? This is exactly what I want to ask. Koro only said that the magic crystal at the core of the excitation device is damaged. Logically speaking, shouldn't the energy stone inlay slot on the excitation device be used repeatedly? Even if this magic crystal was not accidentally damaged, but turned into countless particles after the magic power was exhausted, wouldn't it still be necessary to set a new magic crystal? This is exactly the question in my mind.

Keluo was slightly startled, but immediately reacted and said: "Your Excellency Ruishikos, this silver-plated shotgun has been identified by the master craftsmen of our Chamber of Commerce Alliance as the core magic crystal that activates the magic pattern array in the device. The inlay groove is damaged, and the broken magic crystal cannot be completely removed. The magic crystal inlay groove cannot transfer the energy on the magic crystal stone into the magic pattern array, so the magic pattern array cannot be activated and generate huge energy. Push the lead shot out. The problem now is that you can no longer take out the broken magic crystal without damaging the inlay slot. Doing so will only damage the magic pattern on the base point of the magic pattern array. You must know that this gun The core component is the magic pattern array that activates the equipment. Therefore, this silver-plated shotgun is currently a bad gun without a magic energy source. 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, what you are saying is 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 array of the excitation device, so you think this gun cannot be repaired, right? . If... I mean if! If there is a magician. If the power is injected into the magic pattern of this silver-plated shotgun, then this gun can still be used, right? The problem now is that if ordinary people want to use such a shotgun, they must do everything possible to break the magic in the gun. The crystals are removed, right?" Rishikos asked the auctioneer Koro.

Koro probably didn't know the in-depth situation of this silver-plated shotgun. He didn't know how to answer the more professional questions raised by Rishikos for a while. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to smooth things over, so he stood on the square platform. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely. It didn't take long. A waiter trotted up to the square platform and whispered a few words in the ear of the auctioneer Koro. Koro finally showed a calm look on his face and confidently affirmed the businessman Ruishikosi. Said: "You are right, Lord Rishikos."

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

I suddenly turned around and asked Sister Guoguo: "Sister, does the magic pattern array of the general firearm activation device consume much magic power?"

Sister Guoguo, who was bored to the side, had already fallen asleep. If we weren't worried that we might encounter danger like yesterday, Sister Guoguo wouldn't be able to stay any longer. After hearing my question, she obviously didn't know that the auctioneer Koro on the stage was auctioning a shotgun at this time. She frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Shotguns are only found in the dwarf country, and they are also very rare! This thing is extremely complicated to make and difficult to maintain. Even dwarves who are proficient in equipment do not like shotguns. However, the stimulating circle on this shotgun is very well designed. Exquisite, this is one of the classic magic pattern arrays designed by a famous dwarf master craftsman who asked an elven magister to design it. This magic pattern array case is still one of the must-teaching courses in the magic academy. The entire The magic pattern array is not as big as a matchbox, and the amount of magic crystal consumed is extremely small. A piece of primary magic crystal can only activate the lead shot more than ten thousand times. Oh, why do you ask? "

"Hey! Jia, do you want to buy that shotgun?" Qige, who was sitting on the other side of me, heard what Sister Guoguo was talking about with me and interrupted. Her eyes became very bright. I knew she also discovered this shotgun. The defective shotgun suits me perfectly.

I have a little bit of magic power, but this little bit of magic power is not enough for me to cast a complete harmful spell. It can be said that after entering the wasteland, I only have a little ability to protect myself, but lack of attack means, I can only I assisted Kurtz in hunting. I couldn’t even draw the lightest hunting bow. Normally, an orc kid like me could pick up a hunting bow, but I couldn’t. I lacked systematic strength training, and I’m a human. Children are inherently weaker than orc children in terms of strength attributes. Later, I thought of a hand-held crossbow. This kind of crossbow does not require strong arm strength. You can use auxiliary tools to easily pull the crossbow string. However, the disadvantage is that the shooting speed is slow. After shooting the crossbow arrow, it takes a long time to wind the crossbow. This time Enough for any monster a hundred meters away 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 crystal, the magic crystal inlay slot was also damaged, which ultimately made it impossible to repair. If the gem inlay slot was repaired, the activation device would be damaged. The magic pattern array in it, 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 definitely: "Yes, I want it!"

Two days ago, I was afraid that even if I knew that such a shotgun was very suitable for me, even if I saw it at an auction, I would not be able to afford it, so I would ignore it without hesitation, but it is different now. , I secretly touched the money bag in my arms. The heavy money bag also contained seventeen yellow-orange gold coins. They made me very confident.

The corners of Qi Ge's mouth curled up. When the auctioneer Ke Luo announced the start of bidding, she raised her hand again and said loudly: "Three gold coins!"

The businessman named Rishikosi said calmly: "Three gold coins and ten silver coins!"

"Four gold coins!" Qige didn't even wait for Rishikos to finish her words, and the crisp voice echoed in the auction room again.

After hesitating for a moment, Rishikos even raised his eyes to look at us. I made a face to him unceremoniously. He was obviously a little surprised. There were actually a row of people sitting at the highest point of the stand opposite him. Obviously he didn't know our origins. He turned around and discussed with his companions in a low voice, then raised his hand again and called out the price: "Four gold coins and ten silver coins!"

"Five gold coins!"

Qige still didn't hesitate at all.

Rishikos looked at the auctioneer Koro and finally decided to give up.

The orc auctioneer Koro 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. Since the beginning of the auction, When I saw that broken sword, I was very impressed with you. I wish you a good mood at this auction!”

"Oh yeah!" I yelled, and before Qige could respond, I ran off with my money bag.

"Oh no, it's you little guy again. Please be careful this time. If you accidentally damage the tables, chairs and benches in the venue again, I will ask you to pay me the repair fee of one silver coin. Please be careful. ! This gun is different from a broken sword. It may break if it hits the chair." Auctioneer Koro held the silver-plated shotgun carefully. He handed it to me, saw me holding it indifferently and shaking it in my hand, and quickly persuaded me, I guess he didn’t want anything to go wrong with this shotgun before it was handed over to Qige’s hands, looking at such a reckless child like me. , if you accidentally break this finely crafted firearm with extremely complicated parts, it will always be a bad thing to have a dispute.

After I got the shotgun, I felt that the silver-plated shotgun was not as heavy as I thought. The butt made of black oak wood and the silver-plated copper barrel did not put too much burden on my shoulders. Naughty Xiang Ke Luo smiled toothily, put the shotgun on his shoulder and strode back.

"Hey, kid!" Koro's unique voice came from behind, and I thought he was calling me.

I looked back at Ke Luo strangely, and saw Ke Luo on the stage motioning for me to wait a moment. A waiter caught up with me from the aisle and handed it to me with a leather bag in his hand. I took it and it felt heavy. At this time, the auctioneer Koro in the stands smiled at me and said: "The original owner of this gun also came with a bag of copper peas. Although I don't know if it can still be used, this bag of copper peas belongs to you." of."

I didn't expect that it also came with a bag of projectiles. I hung the leather bag like a water bag on my waist. I took a deep look at Ke Luo before turning around and walking back.

At this time, Sister Guoguo, Qi Ge and the others had already stood up. They just waited for me to come back and walked straight to the exit of the auction house.

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

Kurtz came close 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. Otherwise, we won't be able to wait until deep in the wilderness to harvest the leather and collect the herbs. I’m afraid I won’t be able to carry it anymore.”

I asked in surprise: "Why are you talking like you are going to pick up money in it? There is so much wealth in the wasteland, why don't you see the fellow orcs in Yemen Town going to the wasteland to make a living?"

"How can it be the same? The low-level monsters in the wasteland, such as wind wolves and hyenas, are still very dangerous to ordinary orcs." Kuz put an arm on my shoulder, and we followed Sister Guoguo. He said as he walked out along the dark passage in the auction house.

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

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

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

"I believe it!"

Sometimes I really can’t say too much about this werewolf boy who likes to get into trouble.
