Chapter 267: Underground Auction House
The clerk was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there are no five-grade fire magic crystals for sale in our store for the time being." ”
"I'm going to sell this magic crystal, how much can you pay in the store?"
Seeing the boy take out a fiery red crystal out of nowhere, the clerk was stunned again.
As soon as you come up, you go straight to the point, but it's too direct, right? I have to find out the other party's attitude in this regard.
Mu Feng'er vaguely understood why Wu Yu was targeted by the patrol team when she found a slaughterhouse casually, and she had a toothache for a while.
This time, it obviously took a longer time for the clerk with a good figure to come back to her senses, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly: "I can't do the purchasing, you two wait a minute, I'll ask our store manager to come over." ”
Mu Feng'er frowned slightly: "Is our purpose exposed?" ”
After asking this, she suddenly realized that the question she asked was very stupid, this was no longer a problem that was not exposed, and the nerd had clearly taken the initiative to tell it.
As if sensing her worries, Wu Yu comforted: "Don't worry, I don't feel like she has bad intentions." ”
Mu Feng'er didn't say anything more, because the clerk had already led a slightly chubby-looking man who looked very kind.
The kind-looking store manager warmly beckoned Wu and the two to sit down in the VIP room in the side compartment, brewed a pot of tea that smelled good, and poured a cup for each of them.
Mu Feng'er was very vigilant, took the teacup and put it on the table in front of her, without meaning to drink tea.
Wu Hao was not polite, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he raised his head and drank a glass.
The chubby store manager familiarly poured him back again, taking this opportunity to get closer: "How is it, my tea is good, right?" ”
"Pretty good." Wu Yu took another drink, nodded and added, "It's very thirst-quenching." ”
The slightly chubby store manager looked slightly stiff, and he forgot what he wanted to say for a while.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mu Feng'er went straight to the topic: "You should already know our intentions, we won't go around the corner, what price do you pay for this magic crystal?" ”
The slightly chubby store manager came back to his senses, and a polite smile appeared on his face again: "That's the case, there is an auction in the dark underground auction hall tonight, I don't know if the two of you are willing to put this magic crystal on the auction." ”
"Auction?" Mu Feng'er recalled the shop she saw on Yandian Street, but she couldn't confirm which auction house was hidden in the store manager's mouth, she wondered, "Where is this auction house?" Why didn't I see it before? ”
The store manager explained with a smile: "This is a high-end, secret auction, and I don't tell him about ordinary people." ”
Wu Yu suddenly asked very seriously, "Where do you see that we are not ordinary?" ”
The shopkeeper twitched, as if he was quickly thinking of a perfunctory but superficially plausible argument.
Mu Feng'er has long been accustomed to his occasional drill horns, and waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to him, he talks like this." ”
"This distinguished guest is really ...... Particularly. The chubby store manager deliberately smiled to hide his embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
As if he was afraid that Wu Hao would continue to ask, he unconsciously quickened his speech: "As for the location of the auction hall, it is inconvenient for me to disclose it now." ”
"Of course, if you two agree, I'll take you with you later."
It's just an auction house, why is it so mysterious?
Mu Feng'er was puzzled, looked at Wu Yu, and saw that he didn't raise any objections, so she nodded and said, "I agree." ”
The slightly chubby store manager was not surprised by this, he stood up: "Wait a while, I'll go and apply for admission tickets for you." ”
After he left, Mu Feng'er's upright body finally relaxed, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. Immediately afterwards, she asked a little uneasy: "This store manager, there is no problem, right?" ”
Wu Yu pondered for two seconds: "There is a problem. ”
Mu Feng'er suddenly became nervous: "What do you see?" ”
"He just said that I was special." Wu Yu asked as if muttering to himself while thinking, "How did he see it?" ”
Mu Feng'er: "......"
Well, when I didn't ask.
After drinking two cups of tea, the store manager returned, holding two red cards with a metallic texture.
At the top of the card is a dark red character 'Yan', and two numbers are inscribed below it - 05.
Look at the other one, the number is 06.
Mu Feng'er asked, "Does this number mean anything?" ”
In many auction halls, the number on the ticket either corresponds to the seat number or represents the first customer to receive it.
The store manager said: "The number is random, as for the seats, there will be a special person to lead the two to sit after entering." ”
"Two, please."
He didn't say anything more, and led the two of them directly to a store manager's exclusive lounge at the back of the store, where a secret passage leading to the underground and allowing only one person to pass through had been opened.
"The underground auction house is really underground."
Mu Feng'er became vigilant again.
There are all kinds of indications that the main owner behind this hot and dark street is the Yan family, which is one of the top ten families in Yanyang County.
To make an auction house that can be operated legally illegal, the purpose of the Yan family should not be as simple as tax evasion.
From another point of view, after opening a dark street, a hidden auction hall was also established underground, and the Yan family was either bold, or the background in the City Lord's Mansion was even bigger than she originally thought.
Just as she was thinking about it, the fat store manager led them around a corner and entered an open avenue that could accommodate four or five people side by side.
There are many similar narrow passages connecting the avenues on both sides, and it seems that there is not only one entrance to this underground auction house.
This is also a matter of course, it is impossible that there is only one passage for Wu Yu and Mu Feng'er to meet, there are not so many coincidences in this world.
The tops of both sides of the avenue are inlaid with spars, making this underground passage much brighter than the inner city in its 'night' state.
At the end of the avenue was a dark red gate similar to the inner city wall, and two armor-clad fifth-level mystics stood on either side with guns, making the underground auction hall a big step higher.
The chubby store manager took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on with his left hand and stroked his chest, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Two, you can give me the magic crystal, you will see it at the auction later, I hope it can bring you a satisfactory price." ”
Mu Feng'er generously handed over the magic crystal, after guessing the relationship between this auction house and the Yan family, she was already much more relieved, no matter what the purpose of the Yan family to set up this underground auction house, it was impossible to pit her with a piece of five-grade magic crystal.
After taking out the admission voucher, the two fifth-level mystics guarding the door slowly pushed open the heavy stone gate, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a stone wall, and the huge word 'Yan' on the wall was domineering.
