Chapter 42: The Strongest in the Village
"I think it's better to go to the village chief of Huaqing to discuss this matter first. If the price is indiscriminate, no one will buy it, and if it is cheap, we will lose money. β
Yang Yanfeng proposed this, and Lin Ling and Zhenghui both agreed.
ββββ
Township**, village chief's office.
"What? You got the Ice Crystal Leaf!?"
Hua Qing's pen for writing documents suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Yang Yanfeng and the three of them in astonishment, and even Wang Dazhu, who was originally standing next to him with an expressionless face, widened his eyes.
"That's right, I'd like to ask the village chief to help me figure out how much it would cost if it was to be sold. β
While Yang Yanfeng was speaking, Lin Ling had already taken out the six blue ice crystal leaves from the cloud storage warehouse, and the temperature in the room dropped a few points in an instant.
"It's genuine. "Wang Dazhui's eyes are vicious, although he has not seen this rumored ice crystal leaf with his own eyes, but the cold air that comes from within cannot be faked.
After Hua Qing calmed down his stunned mood a little, he smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't expect that the ice crystal leaf in the village, which had not appeared in nearly a hundred years, was actually brought back by a few children who were travelers.
"I can't really set the price for this. Hua Qing paused, "But let the villagers decide for themselves." β
"Let the villagers decide for themselves?" Yang Yanfeng was puzzled, "How do you say this?"
"Appraisal meeting. β
The village is not large, but it is not poor, and there are some wealthy merchants in the village.
Whenever a new commodity is introduced, these merchants will get together for a large-scale party to determine the maximum price of the item through auction.
Then the maximum price of the auction item is discounted by 20% as its market price, and then the merchants can refer to the market price of the item to mark the price, and the buyer will also choose the right seller according to the price of the item.
To take the simplest example, a set of fine iron armor has just been created. The blacksmith can then apply to the village chief, who will arrange for those famous merchants to hold an appraisal meeting on a certain day.
Assuming that the final auction price is 20 silver coins, then the final market price is 16 silver coins.
There is a difference between an appraisal and an auction, the former is to determine the market price of a new commodity, and the merchant who offers the highest price cannot obtain the commodity; The latter provides a platform for bidders to buy the item they want, and the merchant who offers the highest price can get it.
After listening to Hua Qing's explanation, Yang Yanfeng thought that the appraisal would be a good idea, so as to determine the reasonable price of the ice crystal leaf.
The plan was finalized, and Huaqing promised to help them organize the appraisal meeting as soon as possible.
"Sledgehammer, I'd like to hear your thoughts. After the three of them left, Hua Qing picked up his pen again and started working.
"Village chief, I'm ......" Wang Dazhui wanted to explain something, but fell silent.
Ice crystal leaves, these three words led to his most unforgettable memoryββββββ
Due to the extremely high medicinal value of ice crystal leaves, Huaqing attaches great importance to them. During his tenure, he sent two strong teams to scout the Frost Forest.
The news of the total annihilation of the first team was made public, and the second team was secretly sent.
And the lineup of the second team is not comparable to the first team, at that time, three silver-level adventurers in the village poured out, including Wang Dazhui and Liu Hao.
The strength of a silver-level adventurer is much stronger than that of a quasi-silver-level adventurer, and it is not comparable to a bronze-level adventurer.
Liu Hao's strength Yang Yanfeng personally felt that the latter was also barely better than him because of his speed advantage, and he won by tricks, but Liu Hao's strength was actually the weakest of the three silver-level adventurers.
With three Silver Adventurers at the belt, plus a group of elite Bronze Adventurers, even a large number of Frostgoblin teams will be swept away by them.
But they searched for a long time, but there was still no trace of the ice crystal leaves.
There was only one unexplored area left in the frost zone, and after hesitation, Wang Dazhui and the others still stepped in.
Lion's Head Ice Palace!
As the name suggests, this is a cold ice temple that looks like a lion's head, and I don't know if it is naturally formed or made by an ice goblin, and there is a feeling of coldness when you look at it from a distance.
The moment they stepped into the Ice Palace, the two elite bronze-level adventurers at the end of the team fell with a bang, and half of the two ice arrows had already penetrated deep above their heads.
The pupils of the three silver-level adventurers suddenly contracted, and they looked back.
Above the hall, a relatively good-looking Ice Goblin lazily lies on a throne made of ice, surrounded by a staggering number of Ice Goblins, eyeing this line of adventurers.
"Humans, you shouldn't be here. β
To their astonishment, the frostgoblin on the throne spoke.
"King of the Frost Goblins......
The silver-level adventurer who led the team spat out these words with difficulty, and he almost immediately gave the order, "You guys quickly retreat, I'll cover up!"
"But Brother Xiang, you're aloneβ"
Wang Dazhui didn't know what was wrong at this time, as the strongest adventurer in the village at the moment, Zhang Xiang had never been so flustered.
"Leave me alone, go!" Zhang Xiang interrupted the former's words, nudged the king's sledgehammer back, turned around and rushed towards the king of the frost goblins who was half-lying on the throne.
Wang Dazhui took a deep breath and went against Zhang Xiang, his expression was even a little hideous.
"Withdraw ββ!"
With a roar of all their might, the group of adventurers quickly withdrew from the Lion's Head Ice Temple, and the Frost Goblin naturally couldn't let them go so easily, and swarmed after them.
Seeing his companions evacuate, Zhang Xiang's face showed a look of relief, and he could now fight without any worries.
In the face of Zhang Xiang, who was killing him, the King of Frostgoblins did not stand up from his throne, and a group of Frost Goblins under his command had already surrounded the former, and ice arrows fell like raindrops.
I have to say that Zhang Xiang is worthy of being the strongest silver-level adventurer in the village, and in such a tight attack, he still wielded the machete in his hand and took down the heads of several frost goblins.
However, he was outnumbered, and several ice arrows passed through the gaps where his sword danced, grazed his body, and penetrated his hands and feet.
"Stupid. The King of the Frost Goblins slowly raised his right hand, and a white light slashed, and an ice arrow hit the center of the former's eyebrows.
Zhang Xiang, who was already exhausted, plunged the machete in his hand into the ground, barely supporting himself to stand, and he showed a self-deprecating smile.
"I knew I wouldn't be here. β
After saying this, Zhang Xiang's swaying body had already fallen.
Outside the Ice Temple, the corpses of adventurers and frost goblins lay on the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
In the second reconnaissance, the search for the ice crystal leaf was still unsuccessful, and many elite bronze-level adventurers were folded, as well as the strongest silver in the village.
After that, Hua Qing gave up the reconnaissance of the Frost Zone, and they really couldn't afford to lose more.
Wang Da Hammer decided that the Ice Crystal Leaf was in the Lion's Head Ice Palace, so he also gave up hope of getting it. He was self-aware, and he knew that it was a fantasy to take the Ice Crystal Leaf from under the nose of the King of the Frost Goblins.
After three years, he still remembers the sentence "go away" when Zhang Xiang said goodbye to him, and every time he thinks about it, there will always be a little sour flow in his eyes.
But today, where did the ice crystal leaves of these three young men come from? Could it be that they defeated the King of Frost Goblins? Wang Dazhui couldn't figure out how these three people could defeat a strong enemy that even Zhang Xiang was not an opponent of.
Is the talent of Phantom Tiandu so strong?
In fact, he really thought too much, the distance that Yang Yanfeng and the three of them walked was not deep into the frost area at all, let alone seeing the deepest lion head ice palace.
Obtaining the ice crystal leaf is not as difficult as Wang Dazhui thought, it is to pay attention to a fate, if they didn't accidentally crash into the ice cave overnight and accidentally save the injured snow-capped mountain giant ape, I am afraid they will also return in vain.
