After learning about the price of the skill scroll, Aegie received a full disappointment. Although there is still a way to learn from his mentor, now that he has come to the exchange, he doesn't want to give up easily, so he wants to go to the auction house to see if he can pick up some big bargains.

However, Leah resolutely stopped him. Leah tells him that it's impossible to go to the auction house and pick up a cheap skill scroll. First of all, the Combat Skill Scroll itself is a special commodity that the state directly intervenes in, and the price is already limited on the exchange, so it will be the same at the auction house.

The second reason is that the Skill Scrolls in the auction house will definitely be more expensive than those on the exchange. The reason is simple, the existence of auction houses is actually just a gimmick of merchants. Merchants take advantage of the rich people's ostentatious and strong mentality, and put a slightly special commodity on the auction table for the rich to compete for.

For the rich, money, they have a lot of it. They don't care about money, they care about face. Whoever becomes the last buyer will be the winner. The auction house is a venue where they fight with money and seek excitement. So the auction house is not a place where the poor can go.

This also means that the goods of the auction house are higher than those of the exchange. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for buyers to go directly to the exchange, so why bother to go to the auction house?

But it's not like auction houses are just a place for the rich to compete for money. As a trading platform, it does have something that exchanges can't match. For example, those commodities with very high prices, the exchange cannot bear the value of them, and they generally do not act as agents for fear of transit funds and security issues.

For this, you need to go to the auction house.

The auction house is a well-capitalized trading platform that has enough capacity to represent any commodity and can provide security for the commodity. If something happens to the item while it is in the custody of the auction house, the auction house will compensate the owner of the item twice.

However, the auction house does not store the goods for the owner of the goods and provide a platform for them to sell for free. When the cooperation is reached, the owner of the goods must reach an agreement with the auction house that after the goods are auctioned, the money obtained will be divided according to a certain percentage. As for the proportion of the share, it depends on how the owner of the commodity negotiates with the auction house.

Some are twenty-eight cents, some are four or six cents, and even some commodity owners will sell at a loss because they are in a hurry to use the money, and they will be divided with the auction house in the proportion of five or four or six. In this case, even if no one buys the item right away, the auction house will consider buying the item, which means that the item is fully owned by the auction house. When the item is auctioned in the future, the amount of money received for the item is not related to the original owner.

But one way or another, one fact remains the same. That is, the money you make from selling something at an auction house must be more than if you sell it directly to the exchange. Otherwise, who will hand over the precious goods to the auction house, and no one will do anything that is both loss-making and troublesome.

After learning about this from Leah, Edge gave up going to the auction house so as not to be embarrassed by her own visit. Now he is a complete pauper, and he does not intend to live on Orwell's help, he has already had the consciousness of making his own money from the moment he stepped into the city of Casanster.

Leaving the Exchange and returning to Orwell's mansion, Edge sat down on a stone chair in the shaded back garden to rest and reflect, while Leah went to prepare lunch.

It was strange that Age didn't see Orwell's family in the mansion, could it be that Orwell owned the mansion alone? If so, this guy was really rich.

When it comes to money, Edge's immediate annoyance. He had never intended to be supported by others, and although he was now living in Orwell's house, he had already thought of paying a price to show that he was not eating and drinking for nothing. One of the easiest ways to do this is to pay Orwell a certain amount of gold as housing and food.

It's not that he's pretending to be high. He is a powerful person in his own right, and he is self-motivated and has a strong will to pursue himself. At the end of the day, he is also arrogant and reads more than anyone. A proud person does not always accept favors from others. Even if you accept it, you will give it in the same way.

It can also be said that it is a matter of self-esteem.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Aiji is not a person who blindly rushes to achieve results. He knew he had just arrived at Casanster City and had a lot to learn. Then he stood up and stretched his fists. At this time, Giroud, who was hiding in the blade of Moros, ran out, flapping his wings and flying in front of his eyes.

"Why did you get out?" asked Aegie when he saw it.

It glanced at it and snorted: "Naturally, I have to come out after sleeping, otherwise I won't suffocate to death!"

"Really?" Aegie was a little indifferent to Giroud, but of course it was only his intimate relationship with Giroud, and it was a joke. He looked at Giroud and wondered, "Giroud, what is this reading space inside the Moros Blade?"

"It was pitch black, and there was no light. Giroud said nonchalantly.

Aiji was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Then didn't you say before that you could see a lot of things about the Ancient Demon Clan inside? If it's pitch black, how do you see it?"

"Fire, fire, you're stupid! When I first entered it, I found it pitch black, and I spewed flames to illuminate it. But there is a very serious problem, it is like a bottomless pit of absorbing magic, and once I use it, the magic is constantly sucked away. So if I'm just resting, I don't use magic. ”

"Absorbing magic may be the reason why it can evolve by filling it with magic. Giroud concluded speculatively.

"Oh~ I see...... "Agey sighed slightly.

At this point, Giroud suddenly lost his voice, not knowing what he was doing.

Edge wondered and looked up to see what was going on. Then he saw Leah staring blankly at him, and Giroud next to him.

"This ...... Leah ...... Well, it's Giroud, it's mine...... It's my pet!" Edgie explained, looking at Leah, a little stunned.

Leah was visibly surprised by Giroud's surprise. Agi didn't have Giroud by his side before, but now he suddenly had it. Originally, if Giroud had been normal, Leah would not have been surprised at all. But Giroud wasn't normal at all! The little black dragon could speak, and there was absolutely no record of such a creature in history!

If this little black dragon was transformed into a chameleon, then what is the matter with how it can speak? Although chameleons can take on the form of all kinds of demonic beasts, they will never speak, no matter how advanced their strength is! Otherwise, if a chameleon becomes sincere and benevolent, and can still speak, wouldn't it be able to easily disturb human life?

Based on this insight, Lia was extremely surprised by Giroud. Now that Giroud can speak, she is already sure that Giroud is not a chameleon. But Giroud looked exactly like a dragon, when he wasn't a chameleon...... Is it a mutation, or is it a creature unknown to me?

For a moment, Leah felt that Edge's person was a little more mysterious.

"Leah?" Seeing that Lia was stunned, Aggie called her.

Leah woke up from her surprise and contemplation, looked at Age, and said seriously, "Master Edge, are you sure this is just your pet?"

"Chameleon, chameleon, yes, yes, chameleon!" said Edge, the explanation Giroud had given him to disguise.

Leah's expression remained the same, but she guessed several times in her heart. She wondered why Aggie was lying, and the talking pet was clearly not a chameleon.

"Is there a problem?" Seeing that Lia looked at Giroud without moving, Edge walked over and asked. At the same time, he asked Giroud to fly over as well, patted Giroud on the head, and said, "Come, Giroud, say hello to the beautiful sister Leah." ”

Giroud was speechless about this, what Sister Lia. However, in order to cooperate with Age, it still flew up to Leah, pretending not to speak, and made a series of greeting sounds with 'grunt~'.

Leah was stunned for a moment, looking at Edge, looking at Giroud, thinking about it...... She couldn't help laughing, she already knew the lies of Edge and Giroud. However, she didn't debunk Age, believing that Edge's reason for not telling the truth was his own, and then she just smiled perfunctorily and asked Edgeie to go to lunch.

Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, Aegie breathed a sigh of relief. Giroud is a dragon thing, and outsiders must never know about it. Until he is strong enough to eliminate the threat of the four dragons, both he and Giroud have to hide their identities and tread carefully.
