Chapter 167: New Weapon Building Plan
As Ryan said, Semuliya stone has never been able to find a method to process. Although it is not large in quantity, it is not very precious material. At most, it is regarded as a collectible by some people waiting for appreciation.
"Semlia Stone..."
Ryan still vaguely remembers that he had seen a piece in Mrs. Imedal's antique store, which should be more suitable in size, but he just doesn't know what price the profitable old lady would take the opportunity to open.
While leaving Kiyom's workshop to head to the back alley antique shop, Ryan met Ms. Ashley, who was about to enter the bar with Vaji, at the door of the old town bar Trinity.
"Oh~ Guerrilla, how are you doing recently? Judging from your frowning look, do you need me to provide you with some large amount of 'aid'? Of course it's paid."
Ashley's words made Ryan's mouth twitch, "No need, my problem cannot be solved by increasing the equivalent."
Waji asked with a smile, "It's not related to that child, right? I heard that you adopted her, and it seems that you are still going to church to register for Sunday school today, right?"
Ryan glanced at Waji with a smile, "You are still very informed... I really want to know where your intelligence network came from."
"Haha~ Please don't go into it too much, after all, it's a snake path~"
Watching Vaji and Ashley walk into Triniti, a trace of doubt flashed in Ryan's eyes, "Vaji is definitely not just a bad boy like he shows on the surface. That kind of neat skill and extremely efficient intelligence network is not something that a bad person can have."
'But according to Michelle's information, it has been more than two years since Vagi came to Closebell. Could it be that an organization had predicted that Closebell would have something wrong?'
‘Wait a minute…’
Ryan suddenly remembered something like "The Holy Book Club, and their often-talked holy war... No, probably not."
Ryan shook his head funny and threw away some unreliable guess. If it was really what he thought, Waji and the Holy Book Club would be too frivolous and blasphemous.
When I came to Mrs. Imadal's antique shop, Ryan unexpectedly saw Ling, who rarely came to the city.
"Hmm? Isn't this brother Ryan?" Ling was also a little surprised when she saw Ryan. Then she asked with a wicked smile, "Is there anything wrong with coming to such a black store? Could it be that she wanted to buy things."
Mrs. Imedar held up a crutch in dissatisfaction, "Hey, little dear, even if you are Yolugu's granddaughter, you can't slander so casually. The things in my store are all priced in real terms. How can it look like a black store?"
"Haha~" Ling walked to a necklace with her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "This necklace is obviously a modern imitation, but you sell it as an antique before the Great Collapse. Isn't this a black store?"
Mrs. Imedal smiled strangely and said, "Hey hee! You don't understand this. What we are concerned with in our industry is eyesight. If you can't recognize the counterfeit, you can only be considered as your ability and you can't rely on me."
"Okay, that's all nonsense." Immedal turned to look at Ryan and asked, "Guerrilla boy, as you can see, there are few people coming in my store, and my products are purchased through formal channels, and there is no formality problem."
"If you want to buy something, I'm very welcome. If not, don't stick here. Go to patrol other places quickly."
Ryan nodded to Ling, then turned to Imaidal and chuckled, "I'm really here to buy things today, Mrs. Imaidal, I remember there is a Semlia stone in your store, right?"
"Oh?" Imedal looked at Ryan unexpectedly, then stood up with a crutch and walked to the exhibition cabinet behind him and took out a piece of gray and inconspicuous stone.
"I did collect a Semlia stone, but this thing is too strong and can't be used at all. If you want..."
Imeidal lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "By the way, recently an old customer asked me for a set of out-of-print novels from me at a high price. If you can find them, I can exchange them directly for you, otherwise... 50,000 Mira will not be discussed."
"Fifty thousand..." Ryan rolled his eyes. "The price for things that are useless to you is so high. No wonder Xiaoling said that this is a black store... Forget it, let's talk about what novel it is. I have read a lot of novels."
Since last year, Ryan has read "Red Obsidian", "Gambling Jack", "Dark Doctor Gulian", "Aniece Bathing in the Sun", and recently published "Rose of the Red Moon", and he has read and collected a full set of novels.
In addition, I have read many short stories, such as "The Saint and the White Wolf" and "Marco and the Witch Deep in the Forest", many of which he even hugged Qiya and read it to her at night.
"Hey hee~"
Mrs. Imadal's laughter was very distinctive. She sat back on the chair behind the counter with a crutch and said, "I remember it was called the Anyi Gulian. There were fourteen books in total, and no one could be missing."
Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I have really collected this novel. You wait, I'll go home and get it."
Then he turned his gaze to Ling, "Ling, are you going to continue playing here? Maybe you will meet Estil and the others."
"Hehe~" Ling smiled meaningfully and said, "No, now Estil is playing with the child adopted by Brother Ryan and Mr. Wolf, who seems to be named Qiya?"
Ryan shook his head helplessly, "You really have grasped their whereabouts very accurately. Well, then I will leave first and contact you if you have something to do."
Ling waved goodbye behind Ryan, "Let's go slowly~"
The next process went very smoothly. Ryan found the complete set of 14 books of "Dark Doctor Gu Lian" from his rental house in Yanghuaizhuang on the East Street, and exchanged them from Mrs. Imaidal to Semuliya Stone and handed them over to Master Kiyom in the old city.
Master Kiyom, who rubbed his hands and looked eager to try, gave an approximate delivery time, and the forging would be completed in early May at the latest.
When I returned to my home in the residential area at night, Ryan was still thinking about the house in Acaizhuang to deal with the problem.
‘Now, because of adopting Qiya, I live here most of my time. I feel that it’s a waste to continue renting that house there. Should I return it?’
Before he could think about the result, Qiya, who was escorted back by a god wolf who had left half of his speech, rushed out of the house, shouting "Welcome back" and dived into Ryan's arms.
Ryan, whose thoughts were interrupted, was not annoyed at all. He carried Qiya from the ground with a doting face, "No, Qiya has made great progress, and now she will no longer hurt me."
"Hehe~ Qiya is very awesome, right?"
Lixia followed behind Qiya, and said with a gentle smile on her face, "Welcome back. Estil and the others said, you seem to be very tired today. Do you want to take a bath first to relieve your fatigue?"
Ryan felt the warmth of home from this simple sentence, and the fatigue of the day seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Chapter completed!
