Chapter 445: Market
The magic crystal nucleus, also known as the magic crystal stone in the Wendou Continent, or the demon spirit stone, as the name suggests, is a kind of energy crystallization in the body of the demon beast, which is filled with extremely strong five elements energy, for this kind of strong and violent energy, even if it is a strong person at the level of a jinshi, he will never dare to risk going mad and dying of explosion, and forcibly inhale it into his body.
However, although the magic crystal nucleus cannot be directly absorbed by the human body, it is the main material that must be indispensable for the alchemist to refine the medicine, and the magic crystal nucleus that has been refined by the alchemist with a secret method will be neutralized by some magical herbs to neutralize the excess strong attributes, and become a variety of elixirs that are coveted by countless people to improve their strength, thus doubling their value!
In addition, the magic crystal nucleus can also be blessed on equipment such as the four treasures of the study, and the equipment that is blessed with the magic crystal nucleus will be more powerful, for example, if a first-order wind attribute magic crystal nucleus is blessed on the pen and ink, it can increase the wind attribute attack by about five percent, and if the magic crystal nucleus is blessed on the paper inkstone, it will also increase the wind attribute defense by about five percent.
The more magic crystal nuclei that are blessed with equipment, the more powerful it will increase, and the more obvious the advantages it will show in battle, which is an indispensable necessity for countless strong people.
Of course, in addition to these benefits, the most important thing is that if the elixir refined through the magic crystal core is absorbed by the body, it can greatly improve the power of its own writing, making the difficult and bitter writing cultivation have a magical effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, so it is highly sought after by many literati and artists on the mainland.
With so many special effects, the magic crystal core naturally deservedly became one of the most popular main materials in the Wendou Continent. Not only beginners, but even those distinguished bachelors and doctors often stoop all over the world in search of high-level magic crystal nuclei. The condescending alchemist helped him refine high-grade pills to help him cultivate.
Driven by this trend, the magic crystal nuclei on the continent are in short supply almost all year round, and as soon as the high-grade magic crystal nuclei appear at auctions or other places, they will immediately be taken away at a high price.
The preciousness of the magic crystal core naturally created a large number of mercenary groups or assassination groups that hunted demon beasts for a living. However, the acquisition of the magic crystal nucleus is not an easy task.
First of all. The monster beast is not only powerful, but also treacherous and abnormal, due to its ferocious nature and special attack methods. This makes the monster beast usually a few points stronger than the mercenary or hunter of the same level. Therefore, if you want to hunt demon beasts of the same level single-handedly, if you don't have extraordinary strength, it is easy to catch chickens and not be able to defeat rice.
Secondly, not all demon beasts have the Five Elements Energy Crystal Crystal Nucleus in their bodies, which seems to be a random probability, sometimes. When a mercenary group or assassin group kills a monster at the cost of half the casualties of the regiment, it may come to an end. But he is empty-handed, this kind of thing almost abounds in the Wendou Continent, and it is not uncommon......
In addition, there are often elite monsters among the monsters, and the elite monsters are mutants in the monsters, although the appearance is no different from ordinary monsters, but the strength is much stronger than the ordinary monsters of the same level......
It is precisely because of the above reasons that the value of the magic crystal core on the Wendou Continent has always been high and extremely sought-after.
……
Xiaobao took Wang Yuyan to turn a few alleys on the spacious street, and finally ran into a medium-sized market located in the south of the city.
It is said that it is control, but it is better to maintain the order and safety of the market, and as a reward, mercenaries or merchants who set up stalls and trade in the market have to pay some commissions to the family, which is the rule of the Wendou Continent for a long time, but few people come to make trouble.
Entering from the gate of the market, at the door, there were two guards of the Wang family, they obviously also knew Xiaobao and the others, seeing their arrival, the two guards were stunned, and then bowed slightly.
Xiaobao nodded slightly, walked straight in with Yu Yan, looking at the endless crowd in the market, Xiaobao couldn't help but smack his lips, no wonder the family is so strict with the management of the market, with the profits brought by this popularity, I'm afraid there is definitely a lot...
Wendou Continent is a hierarchical continent, all interests are completely linked to status, and what determines the status is the strength of personal writing, a person who is not even a child, is destined to be a poor person for the rest of his life, no identity and no status, he will be looked down upon wherever he goes, he must kneel down when he sees an official, and he must call himself a grass person or a grassroots when he meets someone.
Tong Sheng, on the other hand, is a class that has just escaped the title of poor people, and can only be regarded as ordinary commoners.
Xiucai is much better treated than Tongsheng, at least he can be regarded as a serious scholar, and only those at the Xiucai level are eligible to join the mercenary group or the assassin group, and they have the right to do business and can also enjoy the right to lend.
If you are a lifter, then congratulations, you have entered the rich class, in addition to enjoying all the rights of Xiucai, you can not bow down when you see an official, and you can have the right to open a market, that is to say, Xiucai can do business for profit, then the master can draw dividends by managing the market, which is also called a commission in the industry.
In this way, the speed of raising people to make money is much faster than Xiucai, and the identity and status are naturally much stronger than Xiucai.
It is precisely because of these hierarchical regulations in the Wendou Continent that the Wang family will be like a fish in water in Uno City.
"Third son, Miss Yu Yan, did you come to the market to buy something?" Just when the two of them were a little dazzled by the crowd, a respectful voice suddenly came from behind them.
Hearing this, Xiaobao turned around, and seven or eight men wearing the uniform costumes of the Wang family were standing behind the two of them, each jade tree facing the wind, and they looked dignified.
The person who spoke just now was a man in his early thirties in his prime, with six gold stars embroidered on the man's chest, and his strength was obviously a sixth-order talent.
Looking at Xiaobao's puzzled eyes, the man smiled honestly and said respectfully: "Third Prince, my name is Hillman, I am the captain of the guard appointed by the patriarch himself, and I am responsible for the safety of the market, hehe, when Childe celebrated his birthday last year, Hillman also came to see ......"
"Oh, it's Uncle Hillman." Xiaobao blinked his eyes, although he didn't have any impression of this uncle, but his introduction just now made Xiaobao's face smile, since it was appointed by his father personally, then naturally he was his direct subordinate, and there should be no problem with loyalty.
Although the current Wang family is not a big wealthy family, but in the family, it is also divided into several factions, if the men in front of him are from the other elder factions, then he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, just perfunctory at will.
"I'm bored in the family all day, so come out and hang out, Uncle Hillman, you're busy, if there's anything, I'll call you." Xiaobao's immature voice did not have the arrogance of the young master, but was polite and polite, which made Hillman feel comfortable for a while.
An uncle's honorific title made De Hillman's smile suddenly a little thicker, and at the same time more eager, Hillman smiled and nodded: "Then the third son is free to wander around, the market is full of our people, if there is something, just shout." ”
Xiaobao nodded politely, pulled Yu Yan, got into the flow of people, and disappeared quickly......
"Hadley, take two people to follow the third son, warn those ruffians in the market, if anyone dares to hit the third prince and Miss Yu Yan, don't mix here in the future." Looking at the disappeared boy and girl, Hillman turned around and said softly, and the simplicity on his face turned into lean in an instant.
"Yes, Captain!" A man nodded in a deep voice, waved his hand, and blended into the crowd with two men.
"The third son is still so gentle with people, it's really comfortable......" Looking at the three people who merged into the flow of people, Hillman smiled, and then shook his head regretfully, "Such a good young man, it's a pity, alas, ......"
Hillman shook his head regretfully, turned around and took his men and went out on a tour of the streets.
……
Yu Yan followed behind Xiaobao lazily, her beautiful eyes glanced at the flow of people behind her without leaving a trace, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Xiaobao, that Hillman is really good." ”
Xiao Bao hummed softly, his eyes swept over a stall next to him, his soul perception was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so the guards who followed him, he also knew it clearly, retracted his gaze, Xiao Bao slowed down, walked side by side with Yu Yan, sniffed the elegant fragrance on Yu Yan's body, and said jokingly: "The first-order child realm, but I can sense three family guards who are proficient in disguise, Yu Yan, it's very unusual." ”
Yu Yan learned from Xiaobao's appearance, shrugged her shoulders cutely, smiled slightly, and was silent without saying a word.
Staring at the girl's silent appearance, Xiaobao's mouth flashed with a warm smile, and his palm gently patted the girl's little head, and in a voice that only two people could hear, he laughed in a low voice: "Although I don't know what kind of identity and background you are, I only know that you are my Xiaobao's sister, no matter what happens in the future, remember, standing behind my brother, no matter how big the wind and waves, my brother can cover you." ”
With a slight smile, Xiaobao's palm patted again, and his steps quickened and walked forward.
Yu Yan was slightly stunned, flashing with beautiful and smart big eyes, staring at the young man who left in a chic manner after speaking, and was stunned in place for a long time before finally coming back to his senses, the soft smile at the corner of his mouth gradually expanded, and finally rendered the delicate little face very tempting.
In the crowded market, the girl stood on a chuckle, elegant posture, like a vulgar green lotus, elegant and indifferent... (To be continued......)
