Chapter Seventy-Three: News of the Underground Auction

"It's this sword...... As soon as the old man saw the sword on the table, his facial expression was obviously stunned, and it took a breath to come back to his senses.

"Ahem, are you here to sell this sword" The old man sat down opposite Ayton calmly, looking at these young people carefully, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"That's right, I don't know what kind of price you can give," Ayton replied lightly, based on the sword that was forged by the so-called dwarven master just now, Ayton already had a clear figure in his mind.

"That sword is pretty good, so we're going to give it ......" The old man touched the blade carefully, and then raised it slightly, feeling more and more shocked in his heart, this fine weapon was even more 'sophisticated' than any fine weapon he had ever seen, and even no less than some first-order 'epic' weapons.

"How about 90 gold coins," the old man slowly gave an answer.

"What! 10 gold coins less than that broken sword" Hearing this number, Ariel couldn't help but shout loudly. Although she didn't know anything about weapons, Ayton's hand-crafted weapons were priceless in her eyes.

"This ...... Little girl, don't be impulsive, first of all, you are here to sell weapons, and we are specialized in selling weapons, and we need to charge a certain intermediary fee."

"And the sharpness of this sword is not very high, so it is difficult for me to give a higher price," the old man hurriedly explained.

Ayton sighed: "Let's go, this family has no sincerity at all"

With that, he stood up.

"This little brother, wait a minute, don't you believe what I say, if you don't believe it, you can try it, in terms of sharpness, you are not even as good as a fine sword I picked at random. Seeing that Ayton didn't turn his head, even the blue-clothed magician and the green-cloaked man next to him stood up, and the old man hurriedly said: "That's it, 110 gold coins, it's all right."

Hearing this, Ayton slowly turned his head.

The old man's face was overjoyed, thinking that he could make a lot of money.

But Ayton's next words dispelled his thoughts: "Sharpness is indeed not the strong point of this sword, but its magic is equivalent to an ordinary epic weapon below the third order, and the shape and material are perfect, and it is actually sold for 110 gold coins here."

The old man paused, thinking that he was an expert, and at the same time secretly scolded the attendant for not telling him about it earlier.

"In that case, how much do you say? The old man looked at Ayton's young age, and he shouldn't have understood the price of weapons very well, so when the time came, he would retreat and push his price again.

The corner of Ayton's mouth smiled slightly: "Actually, this sword can be used without money." ”

"Don't want money!?" The old man stared: "Then what do you want?"

"Intelligence"

"Intelligence?" The old man also showed a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The role of intelligence can be big or small, and you may not be able to get the information you want to know with this 'sophisticated' weapon alone."

"It's better to know a little than not to know at all" Ayton returned to his seat, and Ariel sat beside him, looking at the old man menacingly, but the latter was not worried at all, this was his territory, and he was afraid that a little girl would not succeed.

But he didn't know that the reason he wasn't scared was because Ariel didn't show murderous intent.

"Okay, what do you want to know," the old man stared straight into Ayton's eyes.

"The time and place of the underground auction, and the items to be auctioned. ”

"Hiss" The old man gasped and said slowly: "I'm not old, but my appetite is not small." ”

"My brother told you to say it quickly," Ariel was a little impatient by the old man's slow tone, can't she speak more quickly, she has to be so mysterious.

"Ariel!" Ayton took her little hand, motioning for her to calm down, the more impatient she became.

"Oh," said Ariel, sitting down reluctantly, wondering why listening to their conversation was more tiring than fighting.

"Wait," Lan Coco whispered as she put her hand on Ariel's shoulder and put it to her ear, "Usually this kind of conversation takes a long time, and in some cases it even takes days. ”

"How many days!?" Ariel turned her head to look at Lan Coco in disbelief, just talking about something, but if you want to talk about it for a few days, you can't fight for so long.

"That's right, it's the most time-consuming to negotiate something, bargaining"

......

"First of all, do you have the strength to enter there now" The old man looked at Ayton and his party carefully, their clothes were not expensive, and their weapons were all hidden in the scabbards behind them, so they couldn't tell the grade.

However, he noticed that the blue staff in Lan Coco's hand, although it was wrapped in a black cloth on the outside, the staff was generally a little more expensive than weapons, and the staff rarely had inferior qualities, because those things were difficult to channel magic, and it was better to release magic with a piece of pig iron than to release it empty-handed.

With a magician present, it shouldn't be much weaker.

Ayton smiled faintly, "Do you think someone who casually gives away a sophisticated weapon will be disqualified?"

Ayton is now pretending... Pretend to be a rich man.

"Really...... In that case, why don't you come up with more gold first?"

"Don't you know the truth that money doesn't leak out?"

"Hehe, if you want to participate in that auction, don't you still want to take out the gold coins" The old man smiled slightly.

'This old man is really hard to deal with'

"Of course I know it will cost some gold to be able to participate, isn't this just here for you to find out the news?"

"Just over a hundred gold coins is not enough for this threshold. ”

"Really" Ayton's heart tightened, he really didn't have any extra gold coins on him now.

"And judging by the way you look, I don't know where to pick up this weapon, so this is what you have valuable."

By now, Ayton had completely fallen into a compromise and said, "Tell me, how many gold coins do you need to participate in that auction?" ”

"This is very important news," said the old man with a smile, and he was sure that this group of people had not participated in the underground auction once, "but this will be given to you for nothing, and it will take at least 500 gold coins to buy the cheapest item." ”

"500 gold coins is considered a beginner's degree, so how many gold coins does a slave need" Ayton asked in a deep voice, 500 gold coins, calculated cost, equivalent to him to build 10 high-level weapons, that is, about five days.

However, crafting a third-order rare weapon costs about 500 gold coins, and it only takes a day and a half.

As for Ayton, it will take 5 days to build an epic weapon, but I don't know how much it will cost. It is estimated to be at least thousands, if not tens of thousands.

"Then you look at the problem......" the old man tapped his fingers on the long sword and muttered silently.

"This question plus the time when the auction starts, I will give you this sword" Ayton said lightly: "If you have a location, I will come to buy it from you again when the time comes, how about it?"

"Thank you for your patronage," the old man motioned to the attendant next to him to put away the sword, and then said with a smile: "The price of a slave is about 1,000 to 2,000 gold coins. The auction will be held in the evening at 7 p.m. three days later, so we hope you will come back before the auction starts. ”

This sword is actually worth 200 gold coins, and the time when the auction starts, and the price of the slave auction are nothing, and those who know a little bit about the market know that the most important thing is the location of the auction.

If Ayton hadn't come by then, he would have been 200 gold coins empty, and the news of his location would have been far more than 200 gold coins.

"Got it, let's go," Ayton said and walked out with the group.

The old man thought he had made it, but in fact, he could get the information about the underground auction that Ayton had won, he didn't care about this little money, he now fully understood the rarity of the blacksmith in this continent, with his perverted ability to build an 'epic' weapon in an average of 5 days, opening a weapon shop was enough to live a very luxurious life.

However, he had to earn at least 2,000 gold coins in three days, which made it a bit difficult for him to be penniless now.

"Brother, why don't you ask him if he sells forest elf slaves" Ariel asked puzzled, just now Ayton asked about the price of slaves, Ben didn't ask if there were any forest elves in the underground auction. If no forest elves are captured by then, it will be a lot of money for nothing.

"It doesn't matter if he has it or not, he'll know when he goes, and didn't I say it, we're not short of money," Ayton said proudly, glad he had learned the art of Bahrain's blacksmithing, otherwise he and Ariel might have to live a life of robbership.

The dark elves are only going to plunder because they have no life skills and can only have strong martial arts and magic.

Of course, there are also some historical reasons and blood moon reasons, but the Demon King Sagios has been dead for so long, if the dark elves learn life skills, take the initiative to give up hatred, and admit their mistakes and repent, will they be able to reconcile with other forces, and no longer have to hide in the dark caves all day?

"It's easy to say, then how can we raise 2,000 gold coins in three days" Lan Keke pouted and said, actually saying that she was not bad for money in front of her, the princess, which reminded her of the troubles of the hotel on credit.

"It's not easy, I'll sell you directly, if those nobles find out that they have bought a slave princess, what will their expressions be, haha" Ariel laughed.

"You ......" Lan Coco's pretty face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed.

"Just kidding, or let's just rob it," Ariel said, her understanding of human strength is that they are generally weak, and they will be done with it, typical of dark elf thoughts.

"Ahem, there will definitely be a large group of thugs and guards in the underground auction, so let's be on the safe side" Ravel was almost scared to death by Ariel's words.

If you dare to start a riot in a big city, the guards and patrols in the city will definitely arrest them together with the auction personnel, and then the auction personnel will rely on their connections, pay some money, and come out in minutes, and they don't know it.

"And what do you suggest?" Ayton asked.
