Chapter 38 Trading Centers
After a day's rest yesterday, they decided to head to Mori City.
Sen Castle is a large city, and the various facilities and forces in the city are scattered and distributed, which can provide various services for many professional fighters.
They all had to sell or exchange the materials they didn't use in Seongseong for useful items (this was what they were supposed to do in Anseong, but because of that incident, they didn't do it) so they set off for Seongseong early in the morning.
Fang Li asked Yu Feng, "What kind of city is Sencheng?"
"I haven't been to Sen City, so I don't know, but I've heard that it's not bad there, at least it can meet the various needs of professional fighters, and Sen City is still an ancient city, I heard that there will be some treasures popping up from time to time, and there are many explorers. Yu Feng told everything she knew.
"That way, we can also look for it, and maybe we can really run into it. Long Ze was really like a child, and immediately said excitedly.
"You're not that good, die. "The two are not at odds by nature, and Yan is very active in hitting him.
"Your life is not good, you black fool. Long Ze immediately fought back.
"You big idiot. Yan was not to be outdone.
"Alas······" Yu Feng and Fang Li sighed, ignored the two of them anymore, and walked forward, anyway, those two big fools quarrel every day, they have long been used to it, and they also know that the two of them are just arguing and playing, and they will not hurt their friendship at all, just ignore them.
Before nightfall, the four of them arrived at Sen City, found a place to stay, and went out early the next morning to go straight to the largest auction house in Sen City, the Senluo Auction House.
The Senluo Auction House held an auction every day, and the time was set for the afternoon, and Yan and they were coming to sell things instead of buying things, so they came relatively early.
"A few people, today's auction hasn't started yet, and a few of you are a little early. As soon as they entered the front hall of the auction hall, the four of them had just stood still, and immediately a young man in overalls greeted them and said to them with a smile on his face.
Yan spoke on behalf of the crowd: "We are not here to buy things, we are to sell things. ”
"Oh, oh, that's rude. Saying that, he made a salute to the four of them, "Since the four of you are here to auction things, please come with me." He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "All items that come to our Senluo auction house for auction must be appraised and valued by our appraisers before they can participate in the bidding." The young man explained to the four as he led the way.
"We understand that. It was still Yan who spoke.
After turning a corner, the words "Treasure Hall" jumped into view.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask the appraiser. The young man invited the four to be seated, and then retired to the appraiser, and the maid immediately offered tea and refreshments.
Comfortably nestled in the sofa, the four of them looked at the treasure hall, the hall is not too small, is divided into a hospitality area and several treasure rooms, the hospitality area has a few sofas, coffee tables and some decorative supplies, it looks simple and generous. Under normal circumstances, the work of treasure appraisal is mostly carried out at night, and the auction is carried out in the afternoon of the next day, and the morning is a relatively idle time for the staff.
It is relatively rare for the four of them to come to appreciate the treasure in the morning, unless there are special circumstances, and they want to auction it in the afternoon.
After a while, the young man returned, and invited the four into a treasure room.
There was an old man with gray hair sitting in the room, and there were some utensils in front of him, which were tools for identification, and when he saw four teenagers entering, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and made a gesture of invitation to the four of them.
Because of the debt, the three of them decided to sell some things in exchange for gold coins to return to Yu Feng, and the auction method is the most expensive to sell, so they came to the Senluo auction house, and Yu Feng purely came to join in the fun.
The four of them didn't talk nonsense, and they all took out some treasures and put them in front of the old man.
Yan took out a crystal bottle containing a black liquid.
Long Ze took out a round and translucent bead.
Yu Feng took out a short knife and a pair of bows and arrows.
Fang Li also took out a liquid, but the color was different, it was light blue.
The old man began to identify, he opened Yan's crystal bottle, first sniffed it, then took out a little and put it in the cup, diluted it with water, "Is this the black wood demon liquid?" Although it was a question, his tone was very affirmative.
Yan nodded, "That's right, this is the Black Wood Demon Liquid, how's it, its price?"
"Hehe, this bottle of black wood demon liquid is the best regardless of purity and vintage, the starting price can be set at 70,000 gold coins, and the final transaction price I estimate that it will be at least 150,000 gold coins, according to the rules of our auction house, it is to charge a handling fee of 10%, what do you think?" The old man said with a smile on his face, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the 10% handling fee?
"Yes" Yan didn't hesitate and agreed.
The old man went on to identify the treasures of the three people, Long Ze was a fluorescent bead, Yu Feng's two weapons were also first-class and superb, and Fang Li was an antidote with outstanding efficacy, wide range of uses, and excellent quality.
The treasures of the three people, the old man gave a good evaluation, and they expressed their hope that the items could be auctioned off this afternoon, and the old man also agreed, their things are all superb, like today, there must be more guests here, and they will definitely be auctioned at a good price.
After leaving the Senluo auction house, the four of them went straight to the trading center of Sencheng.
The trading center is a place that operates around the clock in Sen City, which is not under the jurisdiction of Sen Castle, but is developed by the major forces that are resident in Sen Castle and borrow the land of Sen Castle.
The trading center advocates bartering, of course, it can also be purchased with money, but it is relatively rare, this is a platform for traders to trade, mostly Warcraft (both dead and alive), minerals, elixirs and other items, any fighter can trade here.
There are several obvious trading points here, which are the permanent trading points of the major forces, such as the Holy See of Light, the Holy See of Darkness, the Mercenary Guild, the Mage Guild and the Dark Night Organization, and they buy and trade various resources from many professional fighters through these places, regardless of their owners or sources, as long as the price is right.
In addition to the major forces, there is also a business alliance station, a beacon pavilion (an organization specializing in intelligence) station, the strength of these two is not as good as the previous forces, but one is the force with the most members, and the other is just inferior to others on the surface, and secretly it is actually a low-key force with huge energy, so the Sencheng trading center is governed by these seven major forces, plus the official power of the city lord, everyone is mutually beneficial and interdependent, of course, not only the trading center, the entire Sencheng is governed in this mode, so as to make the Sencheng faction prosperous.
Among the many forces, there are Holy Spirit Masters (except for the Mage Guild), their status is transcendent, they can work for their respective forces, but they are not subject to their constraints, the Holy Spirit Master only recognizes the laws of the Holy Land, so they are only subject to it, and every qiē order is based on the laws of the Holy Land.
When the four of them came to the trading center, it was already crowded and bustling, although it was open around the clock, but there was only this trading center in the vicinity, (there was also a trading fair in Ancheng, but the scale was extremely small, it could not be called a trading center, nor could it meet the needs of many professional fighters) Because only a city of the size of Sencheng was qualified to open this kind of trading center, so the daily flow of people here was very terrifying.
The four of them discussed it and decided to go their separate ways, Long Ze went to the Bright Sect, (the three of them had long known that he was a member of the Bright Sect) and traded with their own forces, which was a lot of benefits. Yan went to the Dark Holy See, his attributes could make him more convenient there, Yu Feng and Fang Li decided to trade with the Shang Alliance, because Yu Feng had the most things in her hands, and such a large transaction could make her profit a lot from the Shang Alliance, Fang Li did not belong to any force, and there were not many things in her hands, so she decided to work with Yu Feng to get her light.
Looking at the crowds in the hall, Fang Li was a little impatient: "There are so many people here, we have to queue for a long time, right?" She didn't seem to like crowded places.
"What, unhappy?" Yu Feng smiled: "I know you don't like a lot of people, but you can't help it, unless you come in the middle of the night, there are fewer people, otherwise it's all the same." ”
Fang Li was puzzled: "How do you know? Didn't you say you hadn't been here?"
Yu Feng said: "I've heard it before, and the purchase price of the Shang Alliance is slightly higher than that of other forces, so the free people (referring to the professional fighters who have not joined any forces) like to trade with them. ”
Fang Li understood: "No wonder so many people don't know when it will be our turn, can they go to the auction in time?"
Now it's Yu Feng's turn to be puzzled: "Are you looking forward to it? Have you never participated in an auction?" I thought that a noble-born eldest lady like her should have seen a big scene, but I think her character doesn't like these.
Fang Li smiled: "Never." The voice was a little weird, but Yu Feng didn't hear it, "Actually, I didn't have either, I didn't need much before, plus my professional relationship, I have a good relationship with some business groups, I can trade anything with them, and Ancheng is small, there are no auctions, so I have never participated, and I am quite looking forward to it." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, they were about the same age as each other, and they were both girls, even though their personalities were different, but their friendship was growing day by day.
Yu Feng took Fang Li's hand: "Let's go, we are Holy Spirit Masters, so we don't have to line up with them." After pulling Fang Li around for a while, he found a counter dedicated to the procedures for the Holy Spirit Master.
"How did you know there was a counter like this?"
"You must know at a glance that your origins must be very good, and your family must have a lot of Holy Spirit Masters. Yu Feng explained with a smile: "The Holy Spirit Master is the most noble group, how to do it without a little difference. ”
Fang Li looked at Yu Feng and suddenly said, "If you were my sister, it would be fine." ”
Yu Feng corrected very sternly: "What sister, I'm younger than you, it's my sister." ”
Fang Li's smile was even gentle: "Yes, but you know a lot more than me, and you have always taken care of me like a sister." There was a pause: "Yu Feng, you can call me Lily in the future, everyone around me calls me that." "She's talking about the people around her, not her family.
Yu Feng shrugged: "It doesn't matter, it's just a name anyway." "That's a cool thing to say.
But Fang Li felt a warmth in her heart, she knew that in Yu Feng's heart, whether it was Fang Li or Lily, it was just a title, what really mattered was that she was a person, she clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind.
