Breath of the Undead

Chapter 57: The Holy Artifact from the Fairy Tale

With a single sentence, Gu Xi managed to hit the old goblin's weak spot. The goblin obediently fixed the magical sand table.

"How long will it take to complete?"

After finalizing everything, Gu Xi didn't hesitate to ask the old goblin directly.

"Tomorrow, it'll be ready by tomorrow."

The old goblin proudly replied, "Don't worry, our speed may be fast, but we never compromise on quality. If you don't see a complete small building by this time tomorrow, come here and trouble me, I'll compensate you with this entire store."

Gu Xi glanced at the old goblin, then quickly pulled out a parchment from the goblin's store. As the goblin screamed, trying to reason with Gu Xi, he swiftly wrote a few lines on the parchment.

‘Confirmed, during the period of XX year X month X date, workers will enter to build the small building, the time is one day, to serve as proof, ensuring safety.’

After writing, Gu Xi handed the parchment to the goblin.

"Have your workers carry this while working, otherwise, if they die on my territory, I won't pay for it."

The old goblin, being a shrewd person, only needed one glance to understand that Gu Xi must have set up some traps on his territory. He didn't bother arguing with Gu Xi further, rolled up the parchment, and immediately gave orders.

After clarifying the most important matters, Gu Xi didn't linger in the old goblin's shabby place any longer.

Staying there any longer, Gu Xi felt he would be marinated with its smell.

After leaving the old goblin's territory, Shaya, who had been standing outside the door, quickly followed Gu Xi, coming to his side.

Seeing Shaya's reaction, Gu Xi smiled wryly.

After laughing, Gu Xi slowly blended into the small dock ahead.

Gu Xi noticed that apart from the old goblin who had his own territory, most professionals who came here could only find a spot on the roadside to set up stalls.

The items they displayed were similar to those at the flea market, mostly mirrors, but of much higher quality.

Just one look was enough for Gu Xi to see that most of the items sold here were white, unlike the flea market where most were gray trash.

Unfortunately, Gu Xi wasn't very well-off financially, and there was nothing here that caught his attention. So he wandered around for a while but didn't find anything good.

Not even better than the three mirrors he bought before.

This made Gu Xi, who wanted to find a bargain, quite helpless.

It seemed that the people here were all clever, and finding a good deal here required a lot of time and effort.

If Gu Xi had that kind of time and energy, he would rather find a place to hunt monsters.

Just as Gu Xi was about to leave with Shaya, Shaya gently tapped his shoulder.

"Shaya, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't tap my shoulder; it harms the yang energy."

As Gu Xi spoke, he looked towards the direction Shaya was pointing. He noticed a modest stall, run by a rat-faced human, wrapped in a black tattered cloth.

In front of him, there were more than a dozen branches of varying thickness.

These branches were about a meter long, each with different enhanced magical auras.
