Chapter 193: Black City (3)
As a businessman in the Black City, the shop owner understood his customers’ needs. He would forget about the things that he had sold, and he would never divulge any information to another person. That was why the Black City was so popular.
Shen Yanxiao nodded satisfactorily and then asked, “I require your help with something.”
“Go ahead and ask.”
“Are there any shops that sell bows and arrows here?” Even though the Black City was not a huge city, she would not be able to find what she needed if she were to wander around aimlessly.
“Oh yes, we do have those here! You will find shops that sell weapons on the east side of the city.”
“Many thanks.” After she got the location, she immediately left the shop.
Shen Yanxiao headed to the direction the shop owner had mentioned, and very soon, she was at a rather dimly lit street. There were dozens of small and large arms shops that had a display of weapons outside their shops to attract customers.
Some mercenaries and even students from the Saint Laurent Academy shuttled back and forth between those shops.
As she glanced at the shops, she noticed a huge weapon shop in the middle of the street, and it had a gold signboard above it. It also had eye-catching red flags, and it took up the area of about six to seven shop lots. It was apparent that they were the leading shop on that street.
Shen Yanxiao decided to walk toward that shop.
Lianjin Weapon Shop was the largest arms shop in Black City. It was also the shop with the most variety and highest quality of weapons. The five-meter wide crystal door looked extravagant, but even the s.p.a.cious door was always overcrowded with customers.
Shen Yanxiao squeezed her way through the crowd nimbly. The shop looked huge from the outside, but its interior was even more prominent.
The first floor of the shop already occupied about three to four hundred square meters. They had many long swords, bows and arrows, s.h.i.+elds, and even staff positioned at all four corners of the shop, and their counters had continuous long lines of customers. There were also many exquisite weapons with golden edges and embedded precious stones displayed on the cabinet against the wall. The weapons also had a layer of a faint glow because of the sparkling magical core in it.
Shen Yanxiao marveled at the lavishness of that shop. She made haste to the cabinet with bows and arrows, and her eyes shone as they looked at the hundreds of weapons there.
Of course, something as sparkly as those weapons would always come with a hefty price tag.
A wooden bow that did not look like it was a high-grade one cost five hundred gold coins! Another bow that was embedded with a second-grade magical core cost a ma.s.sive one thousand and two hundred gold coins!
Shen Yanxiao was speechless. The prices of weapons shocked her even more than the costs of potions. Even though she knew very little about that world, she had seen stalls that sold weapons and low-grade bows for no more than a few dozen gold coins. The prices at that lavish shop seemed to be more than ten times the prices at the stalls!
Was it possible for them to be worse than that?
Shen Yanxiao sighed when she noticed the number of students who wore the Saint Laurent Academy uniform in the shop. The academy was indeed a place for the rich as those students looked to be filthy rich!
Shen Yanxiao gulped when she saw a student paid three thousand gold coins for a gorgeous staff without any hesitation.
‘Oh my G.o.d, what should I do? My hands feel so itchy!’
Fortunately, she had quite a substantial amount of money in her cash reserve. She averted her gaze and concentrated on choosing a bow. However, despite the superior quality and the excellent craft, Shen Yanxiao did not come across a bow that suited her.
