Bows were necessary weapons for the archers. No matter how talented Shen Yanxiao was, it would be impossible to acquire archer’s skills empty-handed. But the problem was where to get a bow.
There were some bows for everyday practice in the shooting field of the archer branch. However, those bows were guarded by men, and most of them needed to be fused with magic nucleus. It was only being used temporarily by students who have not yet had the chance to buy their own bows. And since the students of the archer branch generally didn’t use those bows, Shen Yanxiao was all ready to steal one, but Xiu let her give up the idea.
‘The requirements for the bow of an archer were high, and only the bow that really suits you could make your strength reach its peak.’ Xiu would occasionally check Shen Yanxiao’s progress and gave out pointers.
Shen Yanxiao could only give up her plan.
The bows in the shooting field could not be used, and the bows of the archer students were all marked, if she stole them, it could give her more trouble in the future.
So where could she get her hands on a bow?
When Shen Yanxiao was being extra upset, she heard some news from Tang Nazhi’s mouth. In a small city north of the Holy Roland School, there were very prosperous markets, and many of the Holy Roland School students would buy some necessities from there.
According to Tang Nazhi, not only there were various types of professional weapons, but also many black market-specific stuffs.
Shen Yanxiao immediately decided. After knowing the exact location from the mouth of Tang Nazhi, Shen Yanxiao changed her clothes right away and very eagerly, set out for the market.
Phils City was a very small city. The population of the whole city didn’t add up to ten thousand or twenty thousand. However, this was the most prosperous place in the region. As long as one entered the gate, the street vendors could be seen. Phils City was also known as the Black City. This place was lawless, so long as you have the money, you could buy everything you wanted in the Black City.
Dressed in plain clothes, Shen Yanxiao walked into the black market of the city. Although it was already evening, the streets of Phils City were still full of bustling crowds. Groups of people stood around the small stalls, some of them were still wearing the Holy Roland School uniform.
There were also some tall and strong men walking in the middle of the city. Most of them were expressionless, with weapons on their bodies, wearing thin garments, they looked extremely capable.
This was a group of mercenaries. Mercenaries were also a major feature of the Black City.
There was countless mercenary corps in Phils City. They received tasks in the mercenary trade union, and get everything their employer wanted in exchange for remuneration.
Shen Yanxiao’s stature was small, just by walking on the streets would be drowned by the bustling crowd. She wandered on the streets of the Black City to find her original purpose. A pair of intelligent eyes swept through the stalls, looking at those strange things above, she was rather amused.
Magical beasts’ magic nucleus, demonic beasts’ crystallic nucleus, treasured herbs, and there were also all kinds of animals’ teeth and horns. Phils City was indeed a black city, where there’s only something you would not imagined, but nothing you could not buy.
Shen Yanxiao strolled all the way around, seeing a lot of novelty goods. Pretty soon, her gaze was attracted by a shabby little shop.
This shop was called “Faces”.
A very interesting name. Shen Yanxiao stood at the shop’s door, looking inside.
It’s not a big shop, but it was full of wooden boxes.
Chapter 192nd The Black City (2)
The walls of the shop were draped with dusty human skin masks.
“What does this guest needs?” The shop owner looked at Shen Yanxiao who stood at the front of his own shop, immediately greeting her.
“You sell face-changing masks here?” Shen Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. Face-changing mask was a good thing, it could be used for a long time unlike the face-changing medicine which could only be used once. This thing was quite useful to her. If she could pick a suitable one, it would save her a lot of money.
“That’s right! This is the best mask shop in the Black City. Not only can you find your favorite masks here, but we can also tailor a brand-new ‘face’ to your needs.” The owner smiled exceptionally brilliant, attentively introducing all sorts in his shop.
“I need an ordinary one, something that’s not easy to draw people’s attention.” Shen Yanxiao walked over inside the shop and looked at the masks hanging on the window. The texture of the masks was thin, yet the workmanship was excellent, and each mask was different.
“Alright, please wait for a moment, I’ll help you to take a few look.” The boss was all smiles. He went to the cupboard and rummaged through several boxes.
The good thing about buying things in the Black City was that no matter what you wanted to buy, you won’t be asked if you could afford it. All shops in the Black City would open the door for you.
Face-changing masks were also a popular thing in Black City, whether it be thieves, robbers or killers. Mercenaries also frequented face-changing masks shops often. This thing can hide their true appearance, for them, this was an extremely important item.
“Guest, please have a look at these three.” The owner smiled and opened three wooden boxes, took out three face-changing masks.
As Shen Yanxiao asked, these three masks looked very ordinary, fully in line with her requirements.
Shen Yanxiao picked one, choosing a freckled juvenile mask.
“How much does it costs?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“This is not expensive, only 3,500 gold coins.” The owner replied smilingly.
3,500 gold coins… How was it not expensive!!
Shen Yanxiao thought that the face-changing medicine was already a leecher of money, she didn’t expect for the price of this face-changing mask to be so astonishing.
3, 500 gold coins, it was enough for people to eat and drink for three years!
Black City is really dark, not letting people to keep looking straight ahead.
Luckily, Shen Yanxiao’s coffers hoarded a lot of gold coins. Although this made her flesh ache with pain, she still reluctantly bought it.
With the help of the shop owner, Shen Yanxiao quickly took the mask. The originally very ordinary face appeared to be more dull-looking after wearing it. The sallow skin speckled with freckles everywhere, such people when lost in the crowd would not arouse anyone’s attention.
“Your mask is not being mass-produced, is it?” Shen Yanxiao skeptically asked, touching the skin of the face-changing mask.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t want to wear this mask to be a splitting image of someone else in the future.
The owner beckoned to her and said immediately:”Guest, it looks like this is the first time you bought something in Black City. You must know that every mask in every shop in Black City has only one copy. It’s even impossible to find exactly the same in the entire Radiance Continent. Please rest assured, we guarantee not to disclose anything about the mask. I will forget everything about this mask since you have already bought it.”
Chapter 193rd The Black City (3)
As a businessman in the Black City, the shop owner was well aware about his customers’ thoughts. The reason why Black City was so popular was because any item that was being sold here, after they have been bought, will be completely put behind them, and they would never reveal any information to any other customers.
Shen Yanxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: “There’s something I’d like to ask the boss for a favor.”
“Please say.”
“Is there any shop in this city that sells bows?” Black City is not that big, but if she continued to wander around, there’s no telling when she would be able to find it.
“There are! On the east side of the city, there are shops selling weapons.”
“Many thanks.” Shen Yanxiao, after getting the address, left the shop instantly.
According to what the owner said, Shen Yanxiao soon found a dark street. On both sides of the streets were dozens of large and small weapon shops. In every shop’s door, there hung a showmanship of their weapons.
Some mercenaries and students of Holy Roland School were shuttling through these shops.
Shen Yanxiao fixed her gaze at the central part of the street. There, a large-scale weapon shop was located, the golden sign hung high, the red flag was exceptionally eye-catching, and compared to other weapon shops, its area was enough to reach seven or eight ordinary stores. Just like a giant on the street.
Shen Yanxiao immediately walked past to the shop.
The Gold-Smelting weapon shop was one of the largest weapon shops in the Black City, it has the most complete types, highest-level weapons. The five-meter-wide crystal door looked very luxurious, but even such a spacious door had been crowded by the endless stream of customers.
Shen Yanxiao nimbly forced her way through the crowd. The shop looked great from the outside, and inside, it appeared to be exaggeratedly larger.
Only one floor area was three hundred to four hundred square meters. Swords, shields, bows, staffs and wands were placed at the four corners of the shop. Each counter was full of customers, and leaning against the walls of the cupboards were all kinds of exquisite weapons. Some inlaid with gold and others inlaid with gems. The glittering magic nucleus coated the weapons with a faint halo of light.
Even Shen Yanxiao had to sigh at the luxury of this shop. She quickly found her way in front of a cabinet where the bows were placed. Looking at the hundreds of beautiful bows before her, her two eyes shone brightly.
Of course, there were also the dazzling prices marked under the bows.
A wooden bow that didn’t look superior was priced at 500 gold coins! A bow inlaid with rank 2 magic nucleus was marked with a price of 1,200 gold coins!
Shen Yanxiao was inwardly speechless. The prices of these weapons could be more frightening than that of the potions. Even though she didn’t know much about the world, she had just been on both sides of the streets of the Black City and she saw a lot of stalls that were selling weapons. The general low quality wood bows were only a dozen of gold coins. The prices of weapons in this shop were incredibly increased by tenfold!
Do you dare to be darker?
Looking at a lot of students in the shop wearing Holy Roland School uniforms, Shen Yanxiao could only sigh. The Holy Roland School was really a noble school, each and every one of these students were really rich, ah!
Watching a student threw 3,000 gold coins without even batting an eye, having bought a seemingly gorgeous development, Shen Yanxiao swallowed her saliva silently.
What to do, her hands were getting itchy!
Fortunately, her own coffers were still rich. Shen Yanxiao turned back her focus on selecting bows. But she had already circled around, although the workmanship was excellent, she didn’t find something that could be her ‘fated’ weapon.
Chapter 194th Expensive bows (1)
Xiu once said, regardless of the profession, when selecting a weapon one must pay attention to the word ‘fate’. Weapons also have their own souls, and the only way for it to resonate was to find the suitable owner. Shen Yanxiao was looking for a bow that would resonate with her.
After having a look at the rows of bows, Shen Yanxiao was very depressed. She felt strange that among these hundreds of bows, none seemed to be her ‘fate’.
“This kind of poor ghost, how did he get here in the gold-smelting weapon shop?” A juvenile, who was also selecting a bow, looked at the sullen expression of Shen Yanxiao. Glancing at the simple clothes on Shen Yanxiao’s body that could only be called shabby, his eyes flashed with disdain.
The weapons in gold-smelting weapon shop were famous for being expensive in the Black City. Even the most basic weapon, the price was several times higher than other places. Still, the students of Holy Roland School were extremely fond of patronizing the huge store. The weapons’ workmanship here was pretty good, and since everyone knew that the price of this shop was not low, being able to buy a weapon here was also a symbol of status.
Even many of the new students of the Holy Roland School, having incited by their seniors, had joined the twisted competition.
Competition of strength was one thing; competition of financial resources was another thing. Even if some students didn’t have the strength to boast around with, they would still attempt to use financial deterrence in all directions.
And seeing that such a plain-dressed, skinny and unattractive little kid had run into a ‘luxurious’ weapon shop, it really made people feel very lofty.
“Who knows. But you just need to look at his appearance to know that he can’t afford to buy something. Guess this kid only wanted to watch these bows.” Another youth didn’t bother to hide his contempt towards Shen Yanxiao. He even purposely said that Shen Yanxiao only wanted to ‘watch’ the bows. Flipping the tag price rather arrogantly, he said with disdain: “700 gold coins? Who’s going to use this crap?”
The young man who just spoke smiled and glanced at Shen Yanxiao, and then said: ”This kind of junk naturally is not worthy of you, but even if it’s just a junk, it’s still not something anyone can afford.”
Shen Yanxiao slightly frowned. She was just absorbed in her thoughts and her eyes just unconsciously fell on the bow. She didn’t expect that these two fools would incredibly talk a bunch of crap about the bow because of that.
It was obvious that Shen Yanxiao, who’s struggling to find her own bow, did not realize that the two silly fools were actually mocking her.
‘Go to the second floor.’ Xiu’s voice suddenly rang.
Shen Yanxiao immediately turned to look at the stairs to the second floor. It was quite strange, the first floor was packed with people, but there was no one going up to the next floor.
‘There’s something good on the second floor.’ Xiu said, urging her to go.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t doubt him and went straight towards the stairs.
The two juveniles who were flaunting their wealth, suddenly seeing their object of mocking went up the stairs, an incredible expression appeared on their face.
“Where’s that kid going?’
“Funny, ah. He actually wants to go to the second floor? Even his lifetime earnings will not be able to afford a bow there… no, it should be said that he can’t afford to buy even a string.”
“Right. Who did not know that starting price of the weapons on the second floor are several thousands of gold coins? That kid simply cannot afford.”
Although the two youths boasts of being rich, but with their financial resources, they only dared to hang around the ground floor.
Chapter 195th Expensive bows (2)
Second floor?
That’s an area where only the truly rich people could go!
Shen Yanxiao arrived at the second floor, and it was a sight totally opposite of the first floor. Except from the middle-aged man in charge of selling things, there was not even a single customer in the entire second floor.
In other several stores, luxurious weapons of all kinds were arranged in a dazzling line-up, same as how the weapons were set up on the first floor. However, it was different for the second floor of gold-smelting weapon shop. The numbers of weapons here was not much. Each was placed independently inside a crystal shelf, and the crystal shelf itself was decorated by a few thumb-sized, shining crystals.
This scene was like a luxury exhibition in the modern society.
Shen Yanxiao looked at one of the staves near the staircase with coarse eyes. The dark brown stave was studded with seven or eight ornate, low-level magic nucleus. At the top of the stave sat a rank 6 magic nucleus of the size of an egg. And the price at the bottom of it was truly shocking.
“38,000…” The corner of Shen Yanxiao’s mouth slightly twitched. Just then, she saw a bow inlaid with rank 2 magic nucleus for 1,200 gold coins. It couldn’t be compared even with a fraction of this stave!
Well, the stave was lavish enough after all. The low-level magic nucleus, estimated to be a rank 2 to 3, that could synthesize weapon directly was being taken as an ornament. How extravagant was that.
Shen Yanxiao prepared herself for a massive bleeding; she walked past to where the bows were displayed.
The shop assistant lazily looked at Shen Yanxiao. After seeing her appearance that couldn’t be more ordinary than it already was, his mouth twitched with disdain. He turned away his head, not bothering himself to assist Shen Yanxiao.
Poor ghosts dared to come to their shop, really shameful.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t realize the contempt of the man. Having no one to greet her, let her to choose better instead.
The bows on the second floor were more than ten in number, and they were all properly supplied in the crystal shelf.
Shen Yanxiao fixed her gaze at those bows. The magic nucleus inlaid with those bows definitely were not lower than a rank 5 magic nucleus. Even if it’s just lying in the crystal shelf, it could still make a person feel a trace of fluctuations.
When choosing a weapon, aside from looking at the workmanship, one should also take note of the magic nucleus’ level. The higher the level of the magic nucleus, the more strength the weapon would get. This had also led to the high prices of the magic nucleus today, and the weapons fused with a high-level magic nucleus had reached a skyrocketing price.
Among these luxurious bows, one stood out to be the most dazzling.
It was a golden longbow, and the whole bow was made out of gilt wood. Gilt wood was more precious than gold trees. Not only it had more tenacity than steel, but also had a greater toughness. It was the best choice for the production of bows. However, the gilt wood could only grow in the Moon God Continent where the elves reside. It was absolutely impossible to cultivate it in the Radiance Continent, so it could only be imported from the Moon God Continent. And the cost was very alarming. As long as a bow was made from the gilt wood, the price could definitely make a lot of people terrified.
Even if it was not fused with a magic nucleus, the strength of a bow built from the gilt wood was comparable to a bow inlaid with a rank 5 magic nucleus.
And the longbow made of gilt wood before Shen Yanxiao, not only it was fused with a magic nucleus, but there were two magic nucleus!!
The two sides of the bow each inlaid with a green rank 8 magic nucleus. The green magic nucleus taken from the wood element magical beast, when fused on a bow, aside from increasing the weapon’s strength, it could also stabilize the archer’s mind to ensure the degree of alignment and speed.
