591. Magic Market
Pena City is the largest city in Osorno County, with a population of three million at one time, after the outbreak of the Plane War, Grand Duke Newman led the Bednar Legion to participate in the Plane War, and the lords of Pena Province led their knights to participate in the war, and hundreds of thousands of young Bednar warriors left their homeland to fight in various planes, and the development of Bednar City was greatly restricted.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Surdak hired a magic caravan at the gate of the airport dock, he told the coachman the address of the hotel, and took Aphrodite to the carriage of the magic caravan.
The coachman raised his whip, the tip of which made a crisp sound in the air, and the two Guborian horses galloped forward with their hooves, and the magic caravan quickly drove away from the airport docks.
In winter, there was already a thin layer of snow outside Bena, and as the maca plane war came to an end, there were far fewer supply warehouses on both sides of the Airport Dock Boulevard, and then some makeshift shacks sprung up on both sides of the road.
A large number of people gather outside the city of Bena, and the men usually do odd jobs in the city and the airport docks during the day, and return to live in shacks outside the city at night.
During the day, there are only women, children and the elderly left in the shack, and of course there are some lazy people who have not found odd jobs. The biggest problem with this kind of shack is that it is not so warm, when cooking, the campfire can only be outside the shack, the magic caravan drives all the way, and there are green smoke bonfires everywhere along the way, and there is already a bit of a refugee camp trend in such a large-scale shack area outside the city.
Aphrodi held her hands on the edge of the window and looked out curiously, her black and purple eyes full of novelty.
The last time she passed through Bena City, Surdak didn't even return to Hailanza with the Hylantha guard battalion for fear of being discovered, but arrived in Highlandsa City first through the magic airship in the hands of the slave trader Big Kinsy who trafficked kobold slaves, and Aphrodi didn't have a chance to enjoy the beauty of Bena City at all.
Surdak still lives in the big hotel last time, Bena City is still very lively in winter, the courtyard in the middle of the circular hotel is full of magic caravans from all over the world, the horses in the stables are almost full, the rooms in the aristocratic area are very spacious, Surdak still chooses the room where he lived last time, the room layout is very good, Surdak especially likes the terrace.
A waiter at the inn took the two to room 3215 on the third floor of the North Side, and Aphrodite followed Surdak's example and handed the waiter a silver coin as a tip.
Probably seeing Aphrodite's eyes, the waiter stared at Aphrodite's face in a stunned and obsessed look, and even forgot to say thank you.
Succubi are born with the ability to charm, even if ordinary people accidentally see Aphrodite's eyes, it is easy to fall into that situation, but don't care too much, as long as you ignore him and let him stand in place for a while, he will naturally wake up from the charm.
He himself didn't even know what had happened a moment ago, and the others would just think that the waiter was standing there for a moment.
Aphrodite turned and walked into the room, leaving Surdak standing in the doorway, and he waited a little before coughing lightly and asking the waiter:
"By the way, is there a magic market near here?"
The waiter heard Surdak's voice, came to his senses, and when he saw a shining silver coin in his hand, he immediately replied to Surdak with courtesy:
"Of course, Lord Baron, the magical market in Bena City is not far from our hotel, on Lord Lort Square near the library in the middle of Sidon Street, which is the largest magic free trade market in Bena City, and it is usually very lively."
Surdak nodded.
The waiter immediately stopped very interestingly, and asked again: "Lord Baron, do you have any other orders?" ”
Surdak smiled and shook his head.
The waiter said, 'If necessary, please feel free to command,' and turned away.
Surdak closed the door and saw Aphrodite lying on the terrace, holding on to the fence with her hands and looking out over North Street, her round buttocks very tight from the breeches.
He walked to the terrace, and at a glance saw a familiar magic caravan parked in front of the steps of the row of attics, and Lady Dorothy came down from the steps and bent down into the carriage of the magic caravan, and the handsome young man in a leather waistcoat stood at the door to say goodbye.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and asked Aphrodite:
"Would you like to come with me to the Magic Marketplace?"
Aphrodite turned to look at him and said:
"Forget it, it's easy for a mid-level magician to see through my identity, I don't want to get into trouble!"
Surdak said to Aphrodite, "Then I'll go to the Magic Market, by the way, how long can I stay in Bena City?" ”
Aphrodite didn't look back, and said directly: "This summoning will probably last until dark, but if you want to stay here, I can still make up for the summoning spell!" ”
"Oh, no, there should be enough time." With that, Surdak turned and walked out of the room.
……
Surdak wrote a letter of visitation and sent it directly to the Marquis de Luther's palace.
The magic caravan was parked outside the walls of the free market, and I saw that the market was full of warriors wearing mercenary groups and adventure group badges, as well as some magicians wearing various styles of magic robes, which filled the entire magic free market.
The Magic Market in Bena City is much more lively than Surdak imagined.
Many of them were travelers with cone-hats and scarves on their heads, and Surdak followed the crowd into the Magical Free Market, wandering around the market until he came to a shop selling Warcraft ingredients, which was filled with dried Mora fish, canned antelope, raw dried meat from swamp crocodiles, and some fresh meat that he couldn't name.
The business of the store is also very good, Surdak stood at the door of the store to observe the time during this time, a group of magic apprentices came up and bought a dried Mora fish, Mora fish belongs to the first-class water system of the magic beast, itself contains water elements, often eat Mora fish can increase the affinity of the water system, but the fresh fish meat seems to contain the water element is OK, after drying into dried fish, not only the quality of the fish meat has been greatly reduced, but the water element contained in the fish meat has been greatly reduced.
The shopkeeper sent off three magic apprentices, and then stopped to take a sip of water after selling five boxes of canned antelope to an adventuring party.
He wore a fur jacket with a leather apron tied around his body, a belt hanging loosely around his waist, and several knives stuck in it, ranging from boning knives to boning knives, with a full face and a blush beard, which looked very much in line with the image of a butcher.
He looked at Surdak, who was standing opposite, smiled, and asked Surdak kindly, "Is there anything I can do for you, Lord Baron?" ”
Surdak stood opposite the butcher's shop, looked the butcher shop up and down, and asked:
"Do you buy Warcraft meat here?"
When the butcher shop owner saw that the business had come to the door, he quickly wiped his hands with a tarpaulin, walked up to Surdak, and said very kindly:
"Of course, what I'm doing here is the business of Warcraft ingredients, I usually sell some dry goods, and I also buy all kinds of Warcraft fresh meat and dry goods, and middlemen like me make the difference!"
He invited Surdak to the paved house and asked, "Lord Baron, do you have monster meat in your hands?" ”
Surdak looked at this shop, which was only a dozen square meters, was actually full of large and small demon sealing boxes, if it weren't for the stalls outside piled up with all kinds of demonic beast ingredients, walking into this room, he might mistakenly think that this was a shop that sold magic sealing boxes.
"How do you buy salamander meat?" Surdak looked around before asking.
"Can you see the condition?" The butcher shop owner hesitated and asked.
Surdak rummaged through the magic fanny pack, only to find a piece of dried salamander meat inside the fanny pack.
The butcher shop owner took it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and took out a piece of magic crystal close to the dried meat of the salamander, and the whole colorless crystal was instantly dyed red, and the butcher shop owner looked up and said to Surdak:
"These dried meat fire elements are very rich, but you have stored them too roughly, this precious second-order fire-type demonic beast ingredient is definitely worth buying a magic sealing box to ensure the quality of the jerky. By the way, since you have salamander jerky, I can also give you a good price if you want to sell the more precious salamander tail, heart, and poison sac! ”
Surdak didn't want to say more, so he said to the butcher shopkeeper: "Let's talk about the purchase price of these jerky first." ”
The butcher shop owner touched his beard and groaned for a while before saying, "If you are supplying it for a long time, I can raise the price for you, ten silver coins per pound of salamander jerky, but if you are just doing this transaction, I can only estimate the total value according to the total amount of salamander jerky, which will not be less than nine silver coins per pound." ”
"Well, what if it's salamander meat?" Of course, Surdak couldn't sell these dried meats, which he had prepared for the Red Dragon, and when he heard the butcher shop owner talk about the sealing of the magic chest, he asked about the price of fresh meat for salamanders.
"Of course, fresh meat is more expensive, twelve silver coins per pound, when you hunt salamanders in the future, remember to prepare a few more Demon Sealing Boxes, although that thing is a little more expensive, but it is definitely worth the money, all the materials on this fire second-level Demon Beast are very valuable, it is very worth your use of the Demon Sealing Box." After the butcher shop owner finished speaking, he reached out and pulled out a magic sealing box, and his big hand like a bear's paw slapped it twice.
Surdak didn't expect the price of fresh meat for the salamanders in Bednar City to be 12 silver coins per pound.
He nodded to the butcher shop owner and said casually, "Got it!" ”
The butcher shop owner asked expectantly, "Lord Baron, do you still sell your salamander jerky?" ”
Surdak patted his forehead and said, "Forget about these jerky, I'm going to feed them...... Eat it yourself! I'll bring some salamander meat in a few days, by the way, how many pounds of salamander meat can you eat here at once? ”
The butcher shop owner heard Surdak say that he was not going to sell salamander jerky, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom, and then he heard Surdak say that he wanted to bring a batch of salamander fresh meat, and immediately patted his chest in high spirits and said: "Of course, there are not too many salamander meat, and three or two salamanders can eat it." ”
"Oh." Surdak nodded, agreed, and got up to leave.
Seeing that Surdak was about to leave, the butcher shop owner hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, do you still sell the salamander heart and poison sac in your hand?" ”
Surdak stopped and stood at the door of the butcher's shop, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, I wanted to keep it for a familiar magician, since you want it very much, then tell me your price, if the price is right, I can sell it to you!" ”
The butcher shop owner didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to buy a rare fire-based magic material such as a salamander heart when he asked casually.
"One magic crystal for a salamander heart, three gold coins for a poison sac, this is the greatest sincerity I can give." The butcher shop owner gritted his teeth and said that he had given the price enough.
"The price is not bad." Surdak nodded.
Francis the Magician was not so generous, and the price he gave was not half that of the butcher shopkeeper.
Surdak turned and walked to the square table, pulled out a magic chest from his magic waist bag, and placed it on the square table.
"So you have a magic box!" The butcher shop owner exclaimed loudly.
Surdak glanced at him and casually lifted the lid of the sealed box.
This box was filled with salamander hearts that were still pulsating slightly, and a rich fire elemental aura instantly emanated from the box, filling the entire hut.
The butcher shop owner looked at the salamander heart in the box with a dumbfounded eye, his mouth half-open, and his eyes as wide as bells.
Surdak casually pulled out another magic sealing box from his magic waist bag, and lifted the lid to reveal a slow salamander poison sac inside......
The butcher shop owner took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, and suddenly sat down in his chair, he took out a kettle from the side, and drank it into the spout.
On a winter afternoon, a fine layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the butcher shopkeeper.
The butcher shop owner put his hand on his chest, as if his heart could no longer bear his body, and he asked Surdak with an exaggerated expression: "Lady Liberty, how many salamanders have you hunted!" When did these salamanders actually appear in droves? ”
Without waiting for Surdak to answer, he grabbed Surdak's cuffs with both hands and pleaded in a pleading tone: "Lord Baron, to be honest, I can't bear these salamander hearts alone, wait for me to scrape together the money!" ”
Surdak glanced at the butcher and said, "As soon as possible, I can only wait until the sun goes down." ”
"I'll be right ......"
The butcher shopkeeper roared, rushed out like a wild boar, and rushed to the shop next door......
