Chapter 166: Auction House
Next, Jian Chen inquired all the way and came to a store specializing in selling magic cores, the shop that sold magic cores was not small, it was a three-story building made entirely of bluestone, and a plaque with the words "Tianxing Demon Core Monopoly Store" was hung high above the gate.
Although there are many mercenaries on the Tian Yuan Continent who are selling magic cores in their own stalls, they are almost all low-level magic cores, and high-level magic cores are almost rare in the stalls, if you want to buy high-level magic cores, you must go to some shops, the larger the store, the higher the grade of the magic cores sold.
Moreover, the number of magic cores that can be supplied by regular stores is also very large, unlike some mercenaries who take three or five first-order and second-order magic cores to sell, and some powerful families want to buy a large number of magic cores, almost all of them go to some magic core stores to buy them directly in bulk.
As soon as he entered the shop of the magic core specialty store, Jian Chen found that there were surprisingly not many people in the huge shop, and there were no magic cores in it, only a dozen young female waiters working in the counter, which didn't look like a place to sell magic cores at all.
With some doubts, Jian Chen came to a counter and asked, "Is this a place to sell magic cores?"
Hearing this, the female waitress sitting at the counter glanced at Jian Chen, but when she saw Jian Chen's handsome and white face, she couldn't help but lack a strange light in her eyes, and her eyes stayed on Jian Chen's handsome and handsome face for a while, and then said angrily: "Didn't you see the signboard on the door, our Tianxing Demon Core Specialty Store is not a place to sell magic cores, what kind of place will it be." ”
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, his eyes swept over the empty hall, and said, "Then why don't you even have a demon core here?" ”
Perhaps because Jian Chen's appearance has an irresistible attraction to most young girls, the female waitress was smiling, staring at Jian Chen with a pair of stunned eyes, and patiently explained: "Our Tianxing Demon Core Specialty Store only has some high-level Demon Cores on display, and the high-level Demon Cores are on the second and third floors, as for this first layer, only the first-order Demon Cores are sold, and the First-Order Demon Cores are very common, so there is no need to display them at all." ”
Hearing this, Jian Chen suddenly realized that this was the first time he had entered the shop that sold demon cores, and he really didn't know about this knowledge before.
This is, the waitress continued to ask: "Do you want to buy a magic core, if you want to buy a first-order magic core, just tell me the quantity, if you want to buy a second-order magic core, you have to go to the second floor." ”
Hearing this, Jian Chen hesitated slightly, and then asked, "I don't buy the magic core, can you buy the magic core here?"
The waitress stared at Jian Chen's face in surprise, and asked in a surprised tone, "What? Are you here to sell demon cores?"
"That's good!" Jian Chen nodded slightly.
The female waitress glanced at Jian Chen's face a little strangely, as if she couldn't imagine that such a handsome young man was not here to buy magic cores, but to sell them. This is the first time she has met her in the past year of working here, because almost all of the people who come here to sell demon cores are some burly men who are five big and three thick.
However, the waitress didn't have the slightest look of disdain for Jian Chen, and still smiled sweetly: "We are also buying magic cores here, please give me the magic core you want to sell!"
Immediately, Jian Chen handed the two spatial belts to the female waiter, and these two spatial belts contained first-order and second-order demon cores.
The female waitress took the space belt and began to check it, but when she found the number of magic cores contained in the space belt, she couldn't help but show a look of shock on her face, because the total number of first- and second-order magic cores in these two space belts combined was close to two thousand, and it was the first time she had seen so many magic cores.
Taking a deep breath, the waitress stared at Jian Chen's handsome face with some complicated eyes, and said, "Please wait a while, I have to go find our shopkeeper." ”
Then, the female waiter handed the space belt back to Jian Chen, and then turned around and went up to the second floor, and not long after, I saw a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe follow the female waiter down from the second floor.
"White shopkeeper, it's this gentleman who wants to sell the magic core. Coming to Jian Chen, the waitress spoke to the middle-aged man in a brocade robe.
The middle-aged man who had been made the white shopkeeper nodded slightly, stared at Jian Chen's eyes softly, and said with a smile: "Little brother, can you show me the demon core you want to sell." ”
Jian Chen did not hesitate at all, and handed the two spatial belts in his hand to the white shopkeeper in a brocade robe, and the white shopkeeper reached out and took the two spatial belts and began to check them, but when he found the number of demon cores in the two spatial belts, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.
"Selling so many demon cores at one time is rare in this Fengyang City. The middle-aged man sighed in a low voice, then glanced at Jian Chen deeply, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you won't mind if I call you like this." ”
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, you still tell me how much these demon cores can be sold for." ”
"Alright then, please allow me to take an inventory. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and immediately stopped talking nonsense, and after inviting Jian Chen to a secret room specially used to receive distinguished guests, he began to order someone to count the demon core.
When the number of demon cores was counted, the middle-aged man paid Jian Chen's total of more than 5,000 amethyst coins. Jian Chen walked out of the Tianxing Demon Core Specialty Store with more than 5,000 amethyst coins.
Jian Chen rode his horse to the crowded bazaar to buy some of the necessary supplies and clothes for survival in the wild, in case of future emergencies.
At this time, in the noisy crowd, several voices of discussion attracted Jian Chen's attention.
"It is said that the annual auction will be held in ten days, and this time there are a lot of precious items to be auctioned......
"Well, you must go to this auction, maybe you can find some treasures......"
"The Tianfeng Auction House in Fengyang City is very famous in the nearby generation of regions, and every time there is an annual auction, there will be many people from other cities to participate, which is very lively..."
......
"Auction house!" Listening to the discussion of those people, Jian Chen's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart. Immediately, Jian Chen didn't have the heart to continue walking here, so he rode on his horse and inquired all the way, and soon came to the center of Fengyang City, and finally listened to it in front of a huge two-story building.
The building in front of you is very large, although it is only two floors, but its height has reached more than ten meters, which is higher than some four-storey restaurants, and the area is also very large, even compared with the mercenary union, it is not much better, and above the gate of the two-storey building, a three-meter-high bluestone slab hangs high on it, and the dragon flies and dances with the words "Tianfeng Auction House".
And at a side door next to the auction house, there are quite a few people coming in and out of it. Jian Chen hesitated slightly, then rode away from here, and then came to a restaurant not far from the Tianfeng Auction House to ask for a room, and after binding the horse, he left.
Jian Chen walked around the neighborhood a few times, and finally found a remote place, and then immediately took out some relevant materials and began to disguise.
Mo Yoo passed a cup of tea, and when Jian Chen stood up again, his appearance had completely changed, at this moment he looked like a middle-aged man with dark skin, his appearance was very ordinary, he belonged to the type of grabbing a lot of hands in the crowd, the only thing that was more unique was that there was a scar on the left side of his face.
After the disguise, Jian Chen changed into a set of clothes, and then walked to the Tianfeng Auction House, and walked in from the side door, and this side door, there are still many people in and out of it, and now the annual auction is about to begin, and many people have begun to take some of the more precious and diluted items in their hands to register for auction.
"Sir, do you need to register anything?"
As soon as I arrived at the counter where the auction items were registered, a woman immediately asked in a sweet voice.
"Can you call out your steward here, I have something to discuss with him. A deep voice spat out from Jian Chen's mouth, and this voice was deliberately changed by him.
"Okay, please wait!" The woman looked at Jian Chen, hesitated slightly, and then left her post and disappeared through a door behind her.
Soon, an old man wearing a luxurious robe and full of white hair followed the woman out, and the woman respectfully led the old man to Jian Chen, and said, "Mr. Huang, this gentleman is looking for you!" and then introduced Jian Chen: "Sir, this is the senior appraiser of our Tianfeng Auction House, Mr. Huang." ”
Jian Chen arched his hand slightly at the old man, and said hello.
However, his actions were directly ignored by the old man, and the old man looked at Jian Chen, and asked directly: "This, I don't know what is wrong with you." ”
Jian Chen's eyes swept over the people around him who were registering for the auction of items, and said, "Mr. Huang, I have a valuable item that needs to be auctioned by your bank, I wonder if the old man can take a step to talk." ”
Hearing Jian Chen's words, the old man's eyes flashed, and he immediately invited Jian Chen to a quiet small room without half a moment's hesitation.
In a quiet small room, Jian Chen and the old man sat opposite each other, this room was not big, but the soundproofing facilities were not good, and it was completely sealed, so there was no need to worry about someone seeing the scene inside from the outside.
"Sir, you should take out what you want to auction and show it to the old man. As soon as the two of them sat down, the old man couldn't help but speak.
"Hehe, Mr. Huang, the items I want to auction are here, but please keep them secret for me. Jian Chen smiled, and directly threw out a spatial belt and threw it on the table in front of him.
"You can rest assured that our Tianfeng Auction House is still a little famous in several surrounding cities, and it will definitely not leak the slightest bit of information about the employer. The old man chuckled, then picked up the space belt that the sword dust had placed on the table and began to check.
However, when the old man saw the contents of the space belt, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and his face was full of shock and disbelief, and he hissed and trembled: "This....this...this is actually the corpse of a fifth-order demonic beast." ”
