Chapter XXXVI: The Auction

The merchant ship Thonys, in which Rick and his men were riding, docked in the harbor of the island on the right-hand side at the end of the waterway.

The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is in an inconspicuous corner of the harbor, and as soon as you get off the boat, you can see a path that zigzags into a noisy grocery market.

Only three people on the merchant ship, four people from Lack of Moon, and Steward Fury with an entourage brought a retinue, a total of nine people disembarked, and the other sailors were asked by Captain Danrith not to disembark in order to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Rick and the others disembarked because they wanted to go around the sea market to see if there was any suitable equipment.

And Fury's steward first had to buy some supplies for the merchant ship, and then buy some specialties in the market, the most important thing was to sell a batch of rat-eating fish, and by the way, publicize the effect of rat-eating fish, so as to attract the attention of several big forces in the sea.

If in case it causes a frenzy of catching rat-eating fish, it is for the best.

As soon as the nine of Rick got off the boat, they stood in the corner of the harbor pier and saw that the dock where there should be people was empty, and there were few people moving at all.

Occasionally, a few people would get off the boat and run quickly along the main road on the pier, and of course the people on the boat would also run to their own boats with fast movements.

On the other hand, there were many people on the docks of all sizes, large and small, who seemed to be on guard.

Rick Nine followed the path to the door of the grocery market at the end of the path.

Steward Fury stopped everyone, reached out and took out a bulging leather bag from his arms, took out a few bills from it, handed them to Rick and Missing Moon respectively, and then said: "Priest Rick, Captain Missing Moon, there is no store of our Rhys Chamber of Commerce in this sea market, but the Blue Crystal Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland, must have its own store here." You can take this bill to the shop of the Blue Crystal Chamber of Commerce and withdraw the amount of gold coins indicated on the bill. This note is a withdrawal certificate issued by our Rhys Chamber of Commerce to the Blue Crystal Chamber of Commerce. These notes can withdraw up to five thousand gold coins. It's the amount I promised two days ago. ”

"Then thank you Fury, Priest Rick and I have these five thousand gold coins and I think we can buy good equipment."

Missing Moon looked at the bill in his hand and said unnutritious words of thanks to Fury's steward.

Rick looked at the bill in his hand, and saw that the amount on it was two thousand five hundred gold coins, so he looked up at the missing moon, and saw that he was saying thank you to Fury's steward, and at the same time stuffed the bill in his hand into his pocket, and did not look at himself at all.

And Lis, Rip, and Qianggen, who got off the boat with Missing Moon, just stared at Missing Moon, and didn't look at themselves.

Rick shook his head and slipped the bill into his pocket.

When Fury's steward saw that the moon had put away the bills, he said to him, "I'm going to buy some supplies for the ship, and I'm going to sell some of the rat-eating fish, what about you?" Is it just a casual stroll, or something else? I think something is going to happen in this market, if any of you have free time, go and inquire, what's going on in this market? ”

"Okay, Fury, if you don't say I'll find out what's going on. We'll talk back to the boat in the evening. ”

"Alright, I'll go first."

"Priest Rick, I'm leaving, and I wish you the right equipment to find in this sea market."

"Then I'll borrow your good words, thank you Fury for taking care of things. I also wish you to achieve your goals in this sea market. ”

Steward Fury left with his entourage, and only three Rick and four Missing Moon were left at the gate of the market.

Rick looked at the missing moon, smiled, and said, "Missing moon senior, let's go too." Are you shopping with us, or are you doing it yourself? ”

"Hehe, Priest Rick, let's go shopping separately, after all, we are of different races and professions from you, and the equipment we need is also very different. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk together. ”

"Alright then, let's separate, I'll go first. See you in the evening. ”

"Okay, you go first. I'm going to talk to Liz about what gear to buy. See you in the evening. ”

Rick leads Horn and Earless into the grocery market.

I saw that there was a large area in the market where there were all kinds of stalls, some of which bought all kinds of food, some bought all kinds of weapons and equipment, and some sold all kinds of inexplicable things that were collected.

The most common thing is to buy all kinds of pearl shells produced in the sea.

At the innermost end of the market, there is a small two-story building, all made of sand and stone, and the outer walls of the small building are decorated with shells and broken corals, forming various abstract figures.

These small buildings are supposed to be the more high-end shops in the market, and there are some good things inside, but I don't know how much higher the price will be than the price of the vendors outside.

Even though Rick knew that the contents of the shop must be much more expensive than the vendors outside, he still had to take a look at the shop first.

Because the people in the shop are often the first to get all kinds of news, especially all kinds of gossip about the upper floors.

And now the situation in this sea market, the people in the shops are afraid that they have already figured out the ins and outs.

Although the price of goods in the shop is very expensive, the quality is still very guaranteed, which is much better than the vendors outside.

Rick led the steel horn and the earless to the two-story building, and saw that there were more than 20 shops in this small building, and the signboards hanging outside the shops could tell that the main goods of these 20 shops were different.

There is a special apothecary, an armor shop, a coat shop, a restaurant, and a blacksmith shop that looks good.

Other merchants who receive seafood, buy porcelain, specialize in currency exchange, and so on.

Rick went into the nice blacksmith shop, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.

At a glance, this guy saw the trainee god of war priest badge and mercenary badge pinned to Rick's chest, and quickly bowed his head to Rick first, and said, "Venerable priest, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Rick looked at the young man, turned around, waved at the steel horn, and said, "Steel horn, bring your totem pole and let the master in this shop show it." ”

Then Steel Horn showed his totem pole to the young man.

The young man looked at the missing totem pole in his hand, and didn't dare to take it, but just touched the missing part of the totem pole, and then said carefully: "Are the guests going to repair this totem pole?" Aren't you going to replace one? ”

Rick asked, "What do you say about repair?" What is the price of replacing one? ”

"It's cheap and easy to repair, as long as you find some sticky materials and don't leave the missing parts on, and wrap a layer of iron on the outside of this totem pole, you can repair it well. It depends on what kind of material you want, the worst material is only five silver coins, and the best one costs five hundred gold coins. ”

"What is the best material? Is there anything special about it? ”

"The best material is a material called filigree, which is a tree whose trunk grows a little bit of filigree in the grain of the wood after a hundred years of growth, and then soak it in a particularly cold pool or trench for a hundred years, and then take it out and roast it through a special flame to get this material. This material looks very heavy, but it is actually light and fluttery, and it can be easily wrapped around the outer layer of metal. This material is also very strong, and weapons that are not up to the level of divine soldiers should not want to leave traces on it. The main thing is that this material can easily hold magic and magic, and is a good enchanting material. ”

"Well, very good, Steel Horn, don't repair your totem pole, I'll buy you a totem pole made of gold wire and fire wood."

"This, that, Master Rick, don't use it, my totem pole cultivation can still be used."

"What do you say, it's already like this, what else to repair, it's decided, I want a new totem pole made of golden fiery wood."

"Alright then, thank you, Master Rick."

Rick turned to the boy and asked, "How long does it take you to make that totem pole here?" ”

"Master Priest, you can come and fetch it tomorrow afternoon. I don't know what currency do you use to pay your bills, priest? ”

"I have a withdrawal note from the Blue Crystal Firm, you can go with me to withdraw the money."

"Okay, Master Priest, I'll give you a bill for tomorrow's pick-up, and then we'll go and get the gold coins together, okay?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"By the way, man, what's going on in this sea market, right? We've seen a lot of powerful ships in the port, and there are too many people in this market, right? ”

"Hehe, Master Priest, you have just arrived in this sea market. You don't know, some time ago, the owner of this sea market spread the news that someone had found the treasure of an ancient dragon that had died, and he wanted to entrust the master of this sea market to hold an auction. It is said that there are two secondary artifacts in this batch of treasures, and some people say that it is actually an artifact, because it was accidentally destroyed, and it was made into two secondary artifacts by master craftsmen. Therefore, as long as the forces that can come are coming, they have come these days. ”

"I see, I wonder when the auction will start? How do I participate? ”

"The auction starts early the next morning and runs for three days. One person is required to pay a deposit of 1,000 gold coins. ”

"Okay, thank you then."
