Modern Women's Charm
Low Price
The next morning became the fourth day Marrissa wore Jean's body.
Juno was nowhere to be seen in the hut, she had already said goodbye in the morning blind to look for grass seeds. He said the grass seeds in the morning are bigger because they absorb dew water. Jean smiled hearing that.
Inside the hut, Jean was busy shifting the old closet. After the cupboard was shifted, it appeared a chest complete with a padlock.
Jean took the crate with a little effort, moved it to the table.
Then Jean took off the necklace around her neck. The necklace was just a simple necklace with an ordinary rope, but it had a thumb-sized wooden pendant. Inside the pendant there was a lock padlock box earlier.
Jean's fingers opened the locket, she opened it with a hint of coercion visible from her grimacing face.
'Click 'open box padlock. Jean opened the box quickly.
Inside it is seen the contents of a chest in the form of hunter clothes complete with a hunter's badge and a long sword with a sheath.
After removing the objects, Jean also found a black cloak with a head covering.
Looking at the items on the table, Marissa felt a sense of longing and sadness in her heart.
The feeling arises from the memories of the original Jean, he longs for the owner of these items which is none other than Jean's own father.
Marissa is an orphan with no parental affection, she has never felt loved by parents like Jean.
So once she sees the memories and feelings of Jean are genuine about her parents. Marissa was envious.
Although Jean's nipples were very bad, but she could feel the warmth of the family. Unlike her who had to fight alone from the beginning until finally entering this strange world.
Back to the topic of the items at the table.
Jean's father during his life was a middle-level hunter, no wonder he had a pretty good sword.
From his father's job as a hunter, Jean's family can live a peaceful and prosperous life. It's just the past before the father's body was delivered to the house by his hunting partner three years ago.
Said Jean's father died after his chest was pierced by the tail spines of a wild animal. Fortunately, his body was saved and brought back.
At that time Jean could only cry hugging her father's corpse with Juno. While her mother screamed angrily and hit the chest of her husband's hunter partner.
Jean's mother blames her father's colleagues for being incompetent and unreliable, and she goes on a rampage and screams hysterically.
From that day on, Jean's mother's psychiatric condition had problems. She often screams or rampages destroying the furniture of the house, sometimes she cries all day not caring about her body let alone her children have eaten or not.
Two years later, Jean's mother locked herself in her room. She is silent when Jean or Juno asks her to talk, but Jean and her sister are still patiently taking care of their mother.
As nothing else became the backbone of the family, many of the valuables in their home were forced to be pawned or sold by Jean.
Eventually they were forced to move from the house which was originally in a middle-class settlement to a low-class settlement aka a suburban area closer to the border wall.
Jean put all the items back in the crate except for the sword and the sheath.
A shabby white blanket Jean wore to wrap her late father's sword, she tied it to her chest.
With steady steps Jean brought her father's sword to the market for sale. As precious as anything, the safety of his brother is worth more than anything.
Arriving at one of the weapons stores in the market, Jean opens a packet of cloth containing a sword and shows it to the shopkeeper.
The store was quite large, there were 3 other customers who were bidding for weapons or just looking around, choosing a weapon extension on the shop wall.
When the sword of Jean's late father is examined by a shopkeeper, a bald, mustachioed middle-aged man curls up with a distended stomach. He also looks at Jean's appearance.
Jean was wearing rough clothes, the clothes seemed to be old clothes judged by the color of the fabric faded and there were some parts patched.
At first glance looking at Jean's appearance, the shopkeeper could tell her identity as a poor person with no background.
" This sword is pretty good, but it's an old sword, a lot of scratches, the handle is also fading, oh look at this there's a crack of almost half the sword. If this is used the possibility of the sword to break is very high. So this sword is only worth 7 pieces of silver." The shopkeeper reviewed and rated the price of the sword while twisting his whiskers.
"7 pieces of silver! Couldn't it be more expensive, take a look at this sword that mid-level hunters use. My late father used this sword all the way to the deep forest. This sword could cut through the skin of a savage beast in the deep forest, its value shouldn't be that low. Can't you raise it to 12 pieces of silver?" With a pleading face Jean tried to bid higher.
Jean was not stupid, she knew the value of her late father's sword was higher than that. It could even be up to 20 pieces of silver even though there were cracks on the sword.
He knew it because his late father once said, he spent a piece of gold to get the sword, even if it was broken, it will still be worth twenty pieces of silver because of its good material.
The Shopkeeper looked at Jean's pleading face, his lips smiling obliquely.
"Oh, of course it can be for a beautiful lady like you. I can even price 15 pieces of silver as long as you serve me hmm." The shopkeeper's gaze was now staring greedily at the large protruding part on Jean's chest.
Shabby clothes could not cover Jean's beautiful body shape in the eyes of the shopkeeper. Although Jean's face was thin and her skin was somewhat pale, it was still clearly above average beauty on her face.
"Sorry sir, I will not sell you this sword, much less serve you, ugh I will not!" Jean wraps her sword back and leaves the shop as quickly as possible.
What Jean did not know, ever since she showed her late father's sword, one of the customers in the dark green-robed shop kept staring and paying attention to the sword in the hand of the shopkeeper serving Jean.
A green-globed sword with a vine vine-winding motif, the green-robed person stared nostalgically at the sword.
After Jean's refusal and her intention to sell the sword, the green-robed man smiled slightly, attracted to Jean, he turned to look at Jean's departure from the store.
"It's exciting, so you're dead." muttered the green-robed man before leaving the gun shop that no longer caught his eye.
Jean walked around the market, there were only three gun shops in that market. Two subsequent gun shops bid smaller than the first gun shop. It made Jean feel desperate.
"What's wrong with this world, just because I'm a weak woman that they dare to lower the selling price of my sword. Shit I want to cut them off." muttered Jean with an annoyed face.
He didn't realize anyone was following him from behind.
