Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Fangsi continent, October 1509, 10 in the general calendar.

During this year, many changes have taken place on Brandt's continent, among which the Rand Gem Shop is particularly worth mentioning.Hughes, the owner of the gem shop, is the most talked about topic.

City of Plenty, a city ruled by the Leonard family, one of the thirteen branches of vampires.The city of abundance is not really rich, and there is no truly rich city on Brandt's continent.It's just that under Leonard's reasonable management, compared with cities ruled by other families, it is enough to be called rich.What's more, the branch of Rand Gem Shop also opened three months ago, attracting batch after batch of people.

Luffy has lived in the City of Plenty for three years, but today he has some different excitement, the tail behind him is wagging very happily.

It is said that the owner of the Rand Gem Shop will arrive in the City of Plenty today. To celebrate this event, the Rand Gem Shop will sell a batch of seven-level gems, a total of [-] pieces.It's the latter that obviously cheers Luffy up.

seven gemstones,

Even the big families at the top of Brandt can't say that they can sell so many seventh-level gems.These families don't have enough gemstones, so how can they sell them.Lu Fu thought every time, if he could, he would want to beat up these families.

In fact, this is exactly the case. It has been a long time since there have been gems above level six on the Brandt Continent.Most of the gems were kept in their pockets by those families.Not to mention those wandering merchants who sell gems between continents. These merchants do have high-end gems, but the number of these gems is often very small. Even if they have them, they will not sell them to the Brandt continent. Because Brandt is really too poor compared to other continents.Only those top families in Brandt could afford the high-end gemstones.This also led to the fact that Brandt hadn't seen such a high-level gem for a long time.

The news that the Rand Gem Store sold one hundred seventh-level gems this time had spread unknowingly.The number of guys staring at Rand's gem shop is increasing every day.Leonard even sent some personal guards to guard the Rand gem shop.

In fact, as far as Luffy is concerned, as long as there is no brain, no one will think about robbing the Rand Gem Store.Not to mention how many people are waiting to please Hughes, the owner of the Rand Gem Shop, and secondly, destroying the Rand Gem Shop will only make all the rare high-end gems disappear again, which is not what they want to see.They need gems, so they won't touch Rand's gem shop.Of course, this does not prevent them from trying to close the relationship with Rand Gem Store by various means.

"Hey Luffy, where are you going?"

Now walking towards Luffy is a dwarf, and Luffy is a savage orc.

"Where else can I go, of course to the Rand gem shop."

"Are you going now? Isn't there still time?" The dwarf said to Luffy as he quickly passed Luffy and walked forward.Strange to say, Luffy is obviously a wild orc, but he doesn't fight much, and even has a good relationship with him.

"Since there is still time, why don't you walk slower!" Lu Fu said angrily, and at the same time accelerated the pace of his feet.

No matter how much time has passed, Lu Fu feels that it is not enough. Today is the day when the seventh-level gems are sold, and there are only one hundred of them!The number of various races in the city of abundance is dozens of times this!

Sure enough, as Ruf expected.

By the time he and the dwarves arrived at the door of Rand's gem shop, there were already circles of people surrounding the door of the gem shop.Luffy never realized that there are so many people in the City of Plenty!When he saw the darkness, he immediately felt that if he didn't do something today, he wouldn't be able to buy a level [-] gem.

"My God, there are so many people here." The dwarf was astonished at the scene in front of him. He did need some gems to forge his weapons, but he never thought that there would be so many people who needed gems! "Lufu, are they all here to buy gems?!"

"Of course." Luffy shook his head seeing the dwarf's astonished expression.Moving the pointed ears on his head, Luffy knew that it was about to start.

"My God, how come there are so many..."

Looking at the dwarf who was only as tall as his thigh, Luffy couldn't help giving him a sympathetic look.Being so short, you must be able to see countless feet...

Imagining what the dwarves might see, Luffy couldn't help shivering.Fortunately, he is an orc.

"Look! It's coming!" Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Luffy watched the dark crowd separate to the two sides, he pulled the dwarf who was about to be trampled under countless feet to stand aside, luckily, he stood at the front of the separated crowd.A line of guards in black robes stood in front of the parting crowd, dutifully preventing the crowd from rushing into the adults who were about to pass by.Luffy was standing right behind a guard, his vision was extremely clear.

As the crowd parted, the commotion never stopped.

Lu Fu sharp-eyed saw that someone seemed to be walking towards him.

As the person approached, Lu Fu clearly saw what this person looked like.

His slender body was wrapped in a pure white but exquisitely crafted robe, and there were no rings on his clean hands hanging down by his side.The pure black hair hangs loosely on the shoulders, slightly raised after being blown by the wind.The long and narrow black eyes are very cold and have a different style, and the face with clear lines is softer than that of the orc.

Lu Fu once thought that the person with such a face must be a woman, but the feeling this person gave him did not remind him of a woman.It was a pity that this man with beautiful eyes didn't show a smile.

If this person smiles, he must be extraordinarily beautiful, right?

"Hughes, Nalian, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A handsome and handsome man greeted him from the entrance of the Rand gem shop. Rufu recognized this man. This was Leonard's owner, August Leonard.Luffy was just surprised to hear Augustus call this handsome man Seuss.The owner of Rand Gem Shop is such a beautiful human being?

Yes, humans.

Rufu knew that Hughes was human as soon as he saw Hughes, and when Hughes passed in front of him, he was even more sure that Hughes was human.A human with so many gems can still be protected by the Leonard family.

Seeing Augustus led Hughes into the Rand Gem Shop, the crowd at the door became restless again.

The sale of gemstones will start soon, so he has to find a way to get in quickly.

Yan Xiu and Mrs. Na Lian were taken to the second floor of Rand Gem Shop by Augustus.No one is allowed on the second floor except the manager. It is absolutely quiet and safe here.

"Please sit down, this trip has worked hard for you." Augustus smiled and led Yan Xiu and Na Lian to their seats, and sat down himself at the same time.

"With the goblin's portal, it's not a hard journey." Na Lian sat beside Yan Xiu.Compared with her before, now she has a boldness and grandeur that she didn't have before.If what she had in the past was a dignified, refined nobility, then she now has a grandeur.

"It's the first time you and Hughes have come to the city of abundance, this time let me treat you well." Augustus smiled gracefully and gently, and his deep eyes fell on Yan Xiu, "Is the journey going well? , Hughes?"

"It's going well." The people sent by Augustus took good care of him, and Yan Xiu didn't feel any discomfort at all.

"It's great, they didn't live up to my expectations." Augustus laughed more gently when he heard Yan Xiu say that. "I invite you and Mrs. Nalian to have dinner at my residence tonight, and you will definitely not be disappointed."

"Then we'll wait and eat." Nalian looked at Augustus with a smile.She doesn't mind at all that Augustus pleases Hughes, and Augustus has been courting Hughes for so long and has not seen Hughes respond.

Yan Xiu didn't reply to Augustus' words, his eyes fell outside the window.

Augustus followed Yan Xiu's line of sight and found that the latter was looking at the crowd on the first floor. "Rand's business has always been very good. With these one hundred seventh-level gems this time, it will definitely be even better."

Yan Xiu saw that no matter what race was crowding towards Landry, he couldn't help but think of those hypermarket promotions in the 21st century.

"Frankly speaking, I didn't expect the seven-level gemstone to cause such a big reaction." Na Lian also looked out of the window, which was filled with darkness. "I said Hughes, if you also take out the eighth-level gems, Rand may be crushed."

Yan Xiu glanced at Na Lian, he still had a level nine gem in his hand.

"Where are Korda and Nia?" Augustus had seen Korda and Nia, the two trees.

"Of course they were left at home by Hughes." Nalian took a sip of tea with a proper smile on her face.

"With them watching, I can rest assured." Thinking of the gem trees planted in Hughes' house, Augustus felt a little uneasy.It's unbearable for such a large amount of wealth to be left there so naked.It's just that this is the gem tree of Hughes, and Augustus has no way to interfere, nor can he open his mouth to interfere.So he could only send more personal guards to guard those gem trees, while guarding Hughes.

"Indeed, they are very concerned about that stuff."

"Who wouldn't care?"

"Hughes never cared."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Luffy led the dwarf and quickly walked towards the waiter who was snapping up the seventh-level gems.

Fortunately, he was familiar with a human working here, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to squeeze outside.Holding the card in his hand, Luffy walked faster and faster.

"Hey, you rude orc, can't you slow down!" The dwarf also held a card in his hand.He was rudely dragged away by Luffy, his toes almost couldn't reach the ground and flew up!

Luffy clamped the dwarf into his creaking nest, walking faster than before, he wished he could run over.It's a pity that running is forbidden in the Rand Gem Shop. "If you slow down, you won't be able to buy gems!"

If possible, Luffy didn't want to go so fast, he wanted to see other gems.But he knew that as long as he slowed down a bit, he might not be able to buy any of the hundred seventh-level gemstones sold today.

Seeing that the waiter was right in front of him, Lu Fu couldn't help but strode in front of the waiter, he already felt the fierce gaze from behind - "I want to buy a seventh-level gem!"

"Okay, please give me the card." Of course the waiter knew what the customers who were walking straight towards her wanted to buy. She quickly swiped the card and put a seventh-level gem on the card. on, "Thank you for your purchase, please review."

"Thank you." After taking the card back from the waiter, Luffy felt at ease, and he seemed to have forgotten something before he knew it.

"And me! I want to buy it too!" Seeing that Luffy didn't let himself down and didn't give his card to the waiter, the dwarf couldn't help shaking his limbs anxiously, attracting the waiter's attention.

After also taking the card from the waiter's hand, Luffy backed away quickly with the dwarf in his hand.Almost as soon as they pushed away, a large number of people rushed in front of the waiter.Smooth, furry, finned arms stretched out in front of the waiter.

"I want to buy!"

"I also want!"

"Hey, get out of the way!"

"..."

Luffy and the dwarf stood aside watching this hot scene, their scalps were a little blown.Fortunately, they came early, and fortunately, he has a good relationship with the humans working here...

"Thanks to you, Luffy." The dwarf shrank back seeing the crazy look over there, thinking how valuable the card in his hand was, so he couldn't help hiding it behind his back.

"It's thanks to Curt who works here. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be able to come in early. I have to go back and treat him to a good meal." Rufu sighed, "Let's go and pay first. .”

"Ok."

As soon as Luffy turned around, he saw a man in black standing beside him.The dark purple hair looks black in the corner where the light is not very bright. If it weren't for Luffy's good eyes, he might not be able to tell that it is dark purple hair.

The man stood silently in the corner, holding a card in his hand and staring blankly.

"Hey, are you going to buy a seventh-level gem?" Luffy tried to say hello to the human, but the latter didn't even give him a look. "If you want to buy it, hurry up and grab it, otherwise it will be gone if it's too late."

Luffy didn't care whether the man heard what he said, and left with the dwarf.

Before leaving, he seemed to hear the man say something, it seemed to be "Master"?

What a strange human being.

The man with dark purple hair bought the seventh-level gem easily with his excellent skills. After he left the gem shop, he looked back reluctantly.

"Are you thinking about your previous master?" A bald man walked up to the man with dark purple hair, his tone was mocking, "It's been so long since you've been away, maybe he doesn't remember you?"

The man with dark purple hair didn't speak, and left without even looking at the bald head.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, the bald head spat in disdain.

The new year is about to start again, I hope everything goes well, and I wish you all the best and good health!
