Chapter 148: The Exchange
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the little guy in the store, was shocked. But the old shopkeeper was the owner, no matter how hard the little guy couldn't figure it out, he couldn't stop the old shopkeeper's decision.
Oberon quickly said. "Mister, how can this be done? You and I have never lived together, how could I not be so embarrassed to ask for such a precious thing from you?"
The old shopkeeper laughed, took off the Biling Staff again, sent it to Oberon and said, "Master Oberon, do you really think we have never met before? Yes, maybe you don't know me, but ten years ago, your performance in the World Academies Competition left a deep impression on this old man. Although more than ten years have passed, the memory of this old man has not declined!"
Everyone was surprised at first, but they were relieved by the old shopkeeper's explanation. It turned out that this old shopkeeper was very fond of Oberon!
After listening to the old shopkeeper, Oberon waved his hands again and again and said, "Your words were quite serious. How can I not be so embarrassed to ask you for such a precious treasure?"
Seeing the two of them push back like this, Oscar thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Old shopkeeper, why don't you do it like this! The so-called come without indecent manner, we will exchange something for you for this Biling Staff, what do you think?"
"Exchange?" Everyone immediately turned their heads to Oscar, wondering what Oscar would exchange for this treasure with the old shopkeeper.
They saw Oscar took out an object from his storage space and held it in front of the old shopkeeper on the palm of his hand, and said, "Old shopkeeper, we will exchange this treasure with you. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Oscar's palm, and saw a big, fleshy white bug held by Oscar's palm, and a faint green light flickered faintly in the bug's body.
When the young man saw it, he couldn't help sneering, and said to himself, "Sure enough, he is a child with a lot of playfulness, and he even exchanged a meat bug with our old shopkeeper for such a precious treasure. Pity you're still being played by this child. already."
Oberon didn't need to say it, but they were surprised that Oscar was not afraid of the danger of this secret being exposed and took out the magic worm. But the moment the old shopkeeper saw the magic worm, his eyes widened, he grabbed the magic worm and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it.
Afterwards, the old shopkeeper walked quickly to the front of a bookcase with magic worm, and rummaged through the listed books for a while, even ignoring that the books were dropped.
Oscar glanced at the fallen book inadvertently, but was attracted by the graphics drawn on a page. Oscar suddenly realized how this graphic looks so familiar? So, Oscar walked over and picked up the book, only to see that the book was very thin, only a few dozen pages, but it was too old.
Originally, in order to increase the preservation time, the books were not made of ordinary paper, but made of specially treated animal skins. But looking at the extent of the shattered animal skin, the book's conditions couldn' t have reached this shattered level without the dissolution of more than tens of thousands of years.
He turned to the page of the figure he just saw, and he saw a light ball drawn on it, and a circle of flickering light spurs was drawn around the light ball, which was as beautiful as a discharge light ball. The strangest thing is that this light spur is painted black.
Oscar immediately realized that this ball of light was not exactly the same as the distinctive ball of light with his own light attribute? When he closed the book again, he saw that the cover of the book was broken and he could not see anything clearly, but in the middle of the first page was written a large line of "Light and Shadow Shortcuts".
Light and shadow cheats? Oscar was immediately moved in his heart and opened the second page, only to see a brief introduction written on it, which roughly said: Among the light attribute magic users, there was a special existence, which we call light and shadow refiners. It was just because this kind of light-type essence refiners had the light-type attribute and was accompanied by the shadow attribute.
The shadow attribute was a variant attribute that was different from the other ten attributes. It could only be generated at the same time as the light attribute, but the probability of occurrence was one in a billion, and often it would not appear for tens of thousands of years. A refiner with dual attributes of light and shadow, so this property of light and shadow was not well known to the world.
And once a light and shadow refiners appears, he would surely achieve a brilliant life. Just because the shadow attribute had a powerful ability, combined with the light attribute, one light and one shadow were enough to generate powerful magical energy.
Oscar was looking at the book of light and shadow attentively, when he suddenly heard the old shopkeeper exclaiming excitedly: "Haha, yes, it really is a magic worm! I didn't expect that such creatures really exist in the world!"
Everyone in Oscar was shocked when they heard it. Oscar originally wanted to introduce magic worm to the old shopkeeper, but after seeing the series of strange actions of the old shopkeeper after seeing magic worm, he didn't say anything. At this time, when he heard that the old shopkeeper could call out the name of magic worm, he was shocked, and he couldn't help feeling awe at the knowledge of the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper pulled Oscar's hand and said excitedly: "Little brother, where did you find the magic worm this day? Is there any more?"
As soon as the old shopkeeper said this, everyone in Oberon suddenly became nervous. After all, this involves the secrets of everyone in Oscar. If it was known to the world, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After listening to the old shopkeeper, Oscar said without hesitation: "Mister, even if you know this magic worm, then you must know its preciousness. I don't get many of such precious things, only a hundred pieces. Or just about."
The old shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Oscar excitedly, "Yes, little brother! Then can you sell me all your magic worms, the price is up to you, as much as you want!"
Oscar smiled slightly and said to the old shopkeeper. "The old shopkeeper's words are serious. Although Oscar is young, he also knows the truth of receiving the kindness of water, and it must be reciprocated by the spring. Since the old shopkeeper's benevolence and righteousness come first, then Oscar It's not an exaggeration for me to give you some."
After all, Oscar took out a small bag of magic worms from the space and sent them to the old shopkeeper. It seemed that there were about forty or fifty.
When the old shopkeeper saw this, he quickly said. "Oh! This, how embarrassing this is! Initially, the treasures I gave you were just scraps. You actually gave me such precious things. Really, it's really embarrassing to this old man."
The old shopkeeper seemed to be really tempted. Although he was polite, he still took magic worm. Afterwards, the old shopkeeper's face turned pale and he said to everyone, "Dear friends, uou can choose from the treasures in this room. This old man will give each of your friends a treasure as a gift. I wonder what everyone thinks? In the future, let's get closer and closer, and if you need any help from me, I will do my best to serve you friends!"
Oberon and the others looked at one another and said that they had nothing to ask for, so Oberon stepped forward and said to the Shopkeeper. "Manager Longhorn, we don't have anything to ask for, we just hope that we have the best of luck. You and this little brother must not speak out with outsiders, so as not to cause us trouble."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly said, "That's for sure! I must keep this secret for all of my friends." After speaking, he kicked the guy next to him.
The young man quickly echoed. "Don't worry, my dear guests, everything is at the command of the shopkeeper."
Oscar took a step forward, holding the book "The Secret Book of Light and Shadow" in his hand and said to the old shopkeeper, "Mister, Oscar wants to ask you for a book. I wonder if this book can be given to me?"
