Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"Sir, here are the four materials with similar effects to Silver Dragon Blood that we currently have in our inventory. I will introduce them to you one by one. If you take a liking to any of them, you can take them at cost price."

Luo Xiu nodded.

Rolda then opened the first wooden box.

Inside the wooden box was a small crystal bottle, similar to the one Luo Xiu had seen before that contained the blood of the silver dragon; the bottle was slender and completely transparent.

It contained a black liquid with small bubbles rising to the surface, and it looked very thick.

"This is the blood of the Black Dragon. Its effects are similar to the blood of the Silver Dragon that you bid on last time. However, compared to the Silver Dragon, the Black Dragon is more adept at magic power, while the Silver Dragon is more adept at speed. Therefore, the blood of the Black Dragon will have a greater effect on increasing magic power, but a weaker effect on increasing speed."

"Our guild paid 170 gold coins for this Black Dragon Blood."

Luo Xiu nodded. The price was slightly higher than the cost of the Silver Dragon Blood, but it wasn't too outrageous.

Rolda then opened the second wooden box.

Inside was a shriveled fruit.

It looks like a lemon, but it's grayish-blue in color and covered with tiny, dense particles.

"This is sea blue fruit, which comes from the depths of the Lowang Sea adjacent to Lowangpu. Its effect is that it can directly improve the physique of the user and enhance the user's affinity for water. It is said that some people have gone from being unable to swim to becoming good swimmers after eating sea blue fruit."

"This sea blue fruit costs 190 gold coins."

After Roldah finished speaking, Luo Xiu nodded, indicating that they could move on to the next one.

So Rolda opened the third wooden box.

Luo Xiu was somewhat surprised by what was inside, because he hadn't been able to tell what it was at first.

On the silk was a large piece of crystal, inside which was a round object that looked like a lid. The object was very thin and small, with one side smooth and flat and the other side curved, making it look like a thin, round dome.

"Sir, the two items I am about to introduce may be a bit more expensive."

Rolda's expression was somewhat serious, as if the contents of the two wooden boxes behind her were exceptionally valuable:

"This is... a small piece of the silver apple."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Xiu, seemingly trying to catch a glimpse of surprise on Luo Xiu's face, but Luo Xiu's expression remained unchanged, so calm that even Rolda could hardly believe it.

Silver apples are a product of the Rauwan Pujin apple orchard.

Like the golden apples, the silver apples are a gift that can only be received by those who come out of the Golden Apple Garden alive.

While consuming a silver apple might not immediately lay the foundation for advancing to the fifth rank like consuming a golden apple, it still offers numerous benefits, making it an irresistible item for any fourth-rank being. The fact that Luo Xiu remained calm and composed led Roldah to speculate that he might have consumed similar items before and was therefore unfazed.

But he was overthinking it. The real reason why Luo Xiu wasn't surprised was actually quite simple: he had no idea what a silver apple was.

After Roldah's explanation, Luo Xiu finally understood, but it would seem a bit contrived to be surprised at this point, so he quickly moved on.

"This small piece of silver apple was created as part of an experiment conducted by a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to see if cutting off a slice of the silver apple would have a different effect, and that's how this piece of apple came to be."

"There are many different opinions about the effects of silver apples. Some say they can enhance all aspects of the user's life, while others say they contain divine properties. But in any case, it is an extremely high-level item, and the price of this small piece of silver apple is..."

"590 gold coins."

After Roldah quoted the price, she saw that Luo Xiu's expression remained unchanged, and knew that the price should still be within Luo Xiu's acceptable range. So she walked to the last box and slowly opened it.

Swish!

As the rosy dawn broke, a mist of colorful vapor emerged from the box, instantly filling the entire room.

Inside the wooden box was a crystal that emitted seven-colored light. The crystal was teardrop-shaped, with a smooth and flawless surface. It was filled with rosy light, illuminating the entire pure white room with seven colors.

"This is a Phantom Crystal. It has only one function: to increase the user's speed. Simply place the Phantom Crystal on your chest to allow it to merge with your body. It is an item that many speed-based professions covet."

"And its price is 600 gold coins."

After introducing all the items in the wooden box, Rolda began:

“Mr. Luo Xiu, if you have your eye on any of these items, just tell me and we can complete the transaction immediately.”

Luo Xiu nodded after listening.

He knew that this was already a very generous offer from Rolda.

Logically speaking, these items could not possibly be obtained at cost price; they would definitely be auctioned off.

It can be said that the prices at the auction are the true market prices of these items.

Based on a 50% price increase, this magic crystal would require 900 gold coins to obtain.

Now it only costs 600 gold coins, a full 300 gold coins cheaper.

Before the day before yesterday, Luo Xiu only had 930 gold coins, but after he captured the dean of the Holy Knight Academy, he now has 1320 gold coins.

Even so, it's still not enough; to acquire all four items, you'll need a total of 1550 gold coins.

230 more are needed.

However, Luo Xiu had already made up his mind to take them all, and he said:

"Lord Roldah, are you unaware that the Merchant Guild recycles equipment and items?"

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's question, Rolda was taken aback, but quickly realized that Luo Xiu probably didn't have enough gold coins to take all the equipment, so he wanted to recycle some items.

He nodded:

"Yes, it can be recycled, sir. But actually, our guild doesn't have a huge demand for equipment, so if it's ordinary equipment, the price we offer for recycling might be quite low. If you don't have enough gold coins on you, you might consider using points instead. We can exchange 1 point for 1 gold coin here."

Luo Xiu shook his head. He had no intention of using his points. After all, earning points was much harder than earning gold coins. He only had 603 points at the moment, and he had to save them in order to enter the Gold Coin Casino and kill the mushroom monster as soon as possible.

He took out the two shields of the Holy Knight Academy's headmaster, the two shields of Kado, and Qiao Wei's sword, and said with a smile:

"I wonder if the merchant guild will accept these three items?"

Rolda's eyes widened, her face showing surprise.

He immediately recognized the three pieces of equipment as belonging to the various weapons and equipment of the three fourth-tier beings lying on the street.

It should be noted that those three are all renowned figures in Kanriel. Two of them are exceptionally talented individuals with countless admirers and followers, not to mention that one of them is the vice-principal of the Holy Knight Academy.

In an instant, Roldah realized the enormous business opportunity involved.

These three pieces of equipment may not be available until the duel four days from now, but once the duel is over, their value will certainly be considerable.

"No problem, Your Excellency, we can discuss the price now."

……

Luo Xiu left the merchant guild, taking with him four items and the last 90 gold coins.

He ultimately did not sell Qiao Wei's sword because he realized that he happened to be lacking a powerful weapon. After his level was raised to the upper fourth rank, the dark broadsword was no longer sufficient.

It was already noon. Looking at the blazing sun high in the sky, he quickened his pace toward the grid shop. If he got home early enough, he might be able to refine some gold in the afternoon.

Wearing a cloak, he hurried through the crowded streets toward home.

Suddenly, as he passed an intersection, a feeling stirred within him, and he sensed a familiar fluctuation and aura.

The next second, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, shattering the stone slab beneath his feet, and leaped high into the air. The sharp sound of air being cut echoed through the street, and passersby were all stunned by the sound and turned to look.

Almost the instant he leaped into the air, a massive magic circle rose beneath his feet, and a gaping maw, as deep as an abyss, shot into the sky from the magic circle, carrying a foul, stench-filled wind, and lunged towards Luo Xiu.

Looking at the enormous mouth, which had almost solid flesh and blood, with four long, sharp teeth inside and a chain-like body behind it, Luo Xiu realized that this was not a phantom made of magic, but a summoned entity.

The most likely class to possess summoning powers is the priest.

The image of the priestess-like woman appeared in his mind. Without any hesitation, Luo Xiu forcibly twisted his body in the air and instantly arrived in front of that huge mouth, then slashed down with his right leg.

A dull thud rang out, and the upper jawbone of the enormous mouth shattered instantly, spraying blood. A pitiful wail escaped from the giant snake's mouth. Without pausing, Luo Xiu's left foot slammed down, striking the snake's short snout hard. He adjusted his stance, and Qiao Wei's slender, sharp sword appeared in his hand, slashing down directly.

Unlike what was expected, which would directly cleave the giant snake in two, Luo Xiu felt tremendous resistance when the blade reached the snake's skull. He then drew his sword, pushed off the snake's head, and appeared outside the magic array.

He hadn't encountered a situation where he couldn't cleave an object with a single sword strike in a long time, but considering the priestess-like woman's strength as a fourth-tier high-level cultivator, it was quite reasonable.

After all, his strength was only 380 points, which was still quite a bit lower than the 450 points of the upper-level fourth tier.

However, he estimated that the giant snake's physique was probably not at the upper-level fourth rank, because he had fought the headmaster of the Holy Knight Academy and knew the level of upper-level fourth rank defense.

This giant snake is still lacking.

The giant snake in front of them howled, a bloody scar on its head constantly spurting blood, its body writhing.

It looked at Luo Xiu, its lantern-like eyes bursting with boundless killing intent, and pounced on Luo Xiu with lightning speed.

Luo Xiu did not choose to collide with the giant snake again. While dodging the snake's attacks, he secretly surveyed his surroundings.

He quickly locked onto a certain direction.

It was at the entrance of a small alley, where many discarded items were piled up and arranged.

Luo Xiu suddenly exerted force with his feet, moving like thunder, and a series of whooshing sounds echoed in the air as he instantly arrived in front of the pile of discarded objects.

Looking at the sofa, table, and other items in front of him, Luo Xiu threw a punch directly at them.

This punch carried the power of a fourth-tier cultivator, causing the piled-up objects to collapse with a crash, revealing Elijah behind it, dressed in a priest's robe and wearing a mask.

Elijah smiled cruelly, as if Luo Xiu finding her was something she had already expected.

She raised the sacrificial staff high and brought it down hard on Luo Xiu's neck.

Her fighting style involves not only summoning, but also pure power.

This is also the origin of her title "Berserk Priestess".

At this moment, Luo Xiu was in a punching stance and had no time to adjust his body. He was hit directly in the neck by the sacrificial staff.

Having landed a successful blow, Elijah's smile widened even more.

In her view, this attack was enough to render Luo Xiu unable to fight.

Behind Luo Xiu, the giant snake roared and pounced, its blood-red maw wide open, bringing a chilling, fishy wind, as if it wanted to swallow Luo Xiu whole.

But at that moment, Luo Xiu reached out and thrust out his sword with lightning speed, piercing Elijah's abdomen before she could react.

Elijah's smile froze. Luo Xiu's unexpected attack not only pierced her abdomen but also her stomach, and blood dripped from her mouth.

How can it be? !

She was shocked to find that her attack had had no effect on Luo Xiu.

But she had no time to think, because Luo Xiu's sword slashed upwards, intending to split her body in two.

Emerald light surged from her chest, and an invisible, immense force appeared, pushing Luo Xiu several meters away.

That was her life-saving tool, capable of keeping a safe distance between herself and others.
