Chapter 169: Thrift Alley

The auctioneer stepped forward and stretched out his hand to press it, and the noise on the field was a little quieter.

Many people are probably very curious about why a genie would be auctioned at this auction.

Link could probably tell from the expressions of the people on the scene that the elves were probably very valuable items here, and even if they appeared, they were all at top auctions, and if they could be auctioned off, there must be some serious problems.

The Secret Word Auction House is a good thing, and it is also the reason why it can become the strongest auction house in the Emerald City.

It's honest and gives a detailed account of the items it auctions, good or bad. After an unsuccessful item is auctioned again, the reasons for the failure will be explained in detail, and then the price will be lowered and placed at other low-grade auctions.

It is this strategy that has made Secret Word Auction House such a huge success.

"Ahem." The auction on the stage coughed twice, and after attracting attention again, he pointed to the elf and said, "This is brought by a fleet from the open sea, which was originally sold at the auction a month ago, but due to a little problem, the auction failed." ”

The audience was silent, waiting for his next words.

"This elf ......" The auction walked up to the elf, ignoring her fierce gaze, and opened her drifting sea, a sun-like mark on her forehead, "With a free-will magic pattern!" ”

"Oh!" There was a boiling in the audience, and there were many sighs.

Many people's tones were filled with strong regret, which made Link a little confused.

Fortunately, the auction next opened up and explained: "Everyone knows the power of the freewill magic pattern. Able to make this elf immune to abilities like slavery and brainwashing, in other words. She couldn't be safe. ”

And the most important point is in a state of reluctance. Being forced to do anything would cause the fluid in her body to possess a special toxin. ”

The auctioneer's words caused a burst of lamentation in the crowd below.

What's the use of taking such an elf back?

Is it just good to look at?

Take a closer look at the appearance of that elf, it is not so overwhelming, and it is only a little sharper than humans.

"The starting price is 500 gold coins, and each time you raise a card, it starts at 50 gold coins!"

The auctioneer didn't wait for anyone to say anything more, and began a new round of auctions.

Link casually held up the sign: "500 gold coins!" ”

After the first bid, he looked around. To his surprise, the people around him all looked at him in amazement, as if they were looking at something strange.

With no one to rob him of the elf, Link eventually gained ownership of the elf for 500 gold coins.

The elf was the final finale, and after she was auctioned off, the scene began to mess up, and some buyers, led by the waiters, began to withdraw.

Link had to settle all the lots with the auction house. And return the rest of his gold coins.

On the way to settle the bill, Link roughly understood what the situation was from the discussion of some people in the distance.

According to rumors, imprisoning an elf with a free spell can bring terrifying bad luck.

There have been many great nobles who have suffered the tragedy of annihilation because of this. Even the disaster extends to children and grandchildren hundreds of years later.

It's not two cases together, but the elves who basically have free magic patterns have caused such a situation. So when I saw this free magic pattern spirit today, none of the people present dared to bid. That's how Link got his hands on it.

Link pouted, does anyone believe this rumor?

But he still had a little worry in his heart. Do you think you should believe a little bit of this? After all, this world is unusual, and maybe there really is some kind of bad luck like a curse.

It seems a little bit untouchable.

Then let this elf spit out everything he knows, and simply let it go, anyway, 500 gold coins should be used as a love donation to support the disabled.

Link thought so, whispered a few words to Alice, and left the auction with the twins.

Everything that rests, he handed it over to Alice.

The elf and fish-man statues will be sent to the Elemental Tower in the next time.

Walking out of the code auction, the twins followed him, their eyes looking around, making a dutiful guard, but at such a young age, it only had a little funny result in the eyes of others.

Link is going to take a trip to Thrift Lane, a famous second-hand market where you can find a lot of interesting things.

Of course, more fakes and counterfeits depend on the eyes of the individual.

Thrift Lane was in the industrial area, a little far from the commercial area, and Link called a carriage and drove the three of them straight there.

It's getting late, but it's the liveliest place in Thrift Lane.

Link got out of the car in front of the head shop in Thrift Lane and was startled by the crowd.

The road in front of them was full of vendors with carpets, and around them, there were more passers-by looking through the old goods.

It's so bustling that Link even thinks it's the night market life of the Emerald City.

However, most of the people here were ordinary civilians, and their worth was naturally not very high, and they were extremely cautious when they saw Link get out of a carriage, and they were far away from him.

However, this is not a problem, and after blending in with the flow of people, it quickly returns to its usual appearance.

Link didn't have a fixed goal here, he just came over to play, take a look, and walked slowly with the flow of people, looking at the stalls around him.

The twins were holding a lollipop and licking it, which Link had just seen from a vendor, and to be honest, it was the first time he had seen a lollipop in this world, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still hadn't bought one for himself.

It's past that age.

Link sighed in his heart, but the twins were quite happy, and their expressions were much more lively, and they followed Link and looked curiously behind him.

In the midst of the crowd, Link suddenly saw a more familiar sign.

【Nick's thrift store】

A second-hand store that always talks about thrift lane.

Why mention this second-hand store?

Because for a long time, every once in a while, there was always someone who was able to find something good here.

The most famous time was when a student from a certain academy bought a worn-out longsword here for a price not much higher than scrap metal, only to be later identified as a magic weapon, which suddenly increased in value thousands of times!

In the days that followed, many more people got a lot of eye-catching things, and they immediately blew up the thrift store.

Until now, it can still be revealed from time to time that someone is lucky and gets something good.

Link was ready to go in and have a look now, of course, he was just there to take a look.

This little trick to attract customers, Link understood it clearly at a glance. Unless there is something here that impresses him, he will not consume it here. (To be continued.) )
