When Lin Ke heard the old man's words, he deliberately showed a greedy look of joy on his face, and nodded quickly and said, "If you want them all, I'll sell them all to you!"
"This way I don't have to knock on every door."
The old man narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Ke and the two soldiers, and then slowly asked: "These armors...are they really from the palace?"
Lin Ke nodded sincerely, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Yes, old man."
"To be honest, I am a soldier in the palace. I have an elderly person at home who needs to be taken care of. But now the old man is sick, and I really have no other choice. I secretly took out these discarded armors to sell, hoping to make some money to hire someone to help take care of him."
When he said this, there was a hint of sincerity in his tone, as if he really was an ordinary soldier who had to take risks for his family.
Sure enough, after the old man heard that Lin Ke was a soldier in the palace, there was a subtle change in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to have more interest in Lin Ke.
The old man was silent for a moment, then coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Young man, you are a filial child."
"However, my old bones really don't have much strength. Could you please help me carry these armors in?"
"I used to be a craftsman. When daybreak comes, I can ask someone to help re-forge these armors, and then sell them for money."
Lin Ke sneered in his heart, he knew very well that this was just a lame lie from the other party.
An old man who calls himself a craftsman lives in such a remote street.
That would be fine, but he doesn't even have the strength to carry his armor?
Obviously, this was just a deliberate attempt to lure them into the house.
However, Lin Ke did not expose the other party, but pretended to be warm-hearted, nodded and agreed: "No problem, old man, we will help you carry it in."
After saying this, he signaled the two soldiers to work together to move the armor off the wooden cart one by one.
While Lin Ke was moving, he secretly observed the old man's every move.
He found that the old man's eyes were first fixed on the piece of Atlantis armor, and when the soldiers moved other armor, his eyes fell firmly on Lin Ke.
Lin Ke also noticed this, but he just continued talking naturally, trying to get more information from the old man.
"Old man, your house is quite spacious."
The old man smiled, but still said in a confused voice: "Yes, it is an old house. Now I am old and can't work anymore, so I live here alone."
Lin Ke nodded, but became more alert in his heart.
The moment Lin Ke stepped into the house, a cold breath hit him in the face.
The room was dimly lit, with only an oil lamp emitting a faint glow in the corner, illuminating the moss on the wall and the debris piled nearby.
At this moment, Ramses' voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Brother, there is something wrong with this room."
"I clearly sensed that one of them is a demon and the other is a devil, and they can use demonic power and devil power respectively."
"But don't worry, just do what you want and I'll keep you safe."
When Lin Ke heard Ramses' reminder, he became more alert.
Although he could not communicate directly with Ramses in his mind, he still nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
The old man walked slowly to the center of the room with his back hunched. He pointed to an empty space on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, put your armor here. I will find someone to take care of it tomorrow."
Lin Ke pretended nothing had happened and ordered the two soldiers to put down their armor.
Lin Ke then continued to ask questions, trying to get more information from the old man.
"Old man, you live here alone, what do you usually do?"
The old man smiled, his voice still hoarse: "I'm old, what else can I do?"
"I just do some repairs and occasionally do some odd jobs to make a living, haha."
At this time, the old man turned around and looked at Lin Ke, and the smile on his face gradually became distorted.
At this moment, a strong smell of blood rushed into Lin Ke's nostrils, and the smell went straight to the top of his head.
Then, a "corpse" appeared in the corner of the wall.
It's a soldier!
Seems still alive!
The soldier on the ground had half of his body torn open, his internal organs exposed, and one of his eyes gouged out. Blood dyed the ground red, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.
Although he was already dying, the moment the soldier saw Lin Ke, he still used up his last bit of strength and shouted in a trembling voice: "Run...Run..."
Lin Ke frowned slightly, but he did not retreat.
The two soldiers behind him immediately drew their swords from their waists and stood in front of Lin Ke.
Lin Ke simply turned his gaze to the old man and said coldly, "Old man, is this what you call 'fixing things up'?"
The old man's smile gradually disappeared, his body began to twist and deform, his skin turned gray, and his figure swelled.
The elephant-headed monster's figure was fully revealed. Its tall body almost touched the ceiling of the room, and its blood-red tusks looked terrifying in the dim light.
It stared at Lin Ke intently, and its voice was no longer hoarse: "If you, a humble mortal, do not want to end up like this soldier, then answer my question."
"Tell me, what are you guys at Holy Egypt preparing for lately?"
"Also, where did you get this Atlantean armor from the palace?"
