"How many people can afford a house when it's so expensive?" Salin asked Sumano. Rex can also be regarded as Qin Yin's extremely wealthy person, but he will not carry nine million gold coins on his body, even two million, and he has to make up materials with Salin and sell them before he can get them. If even Rex can't afford to buy a house here, few people in the Qin Yin Empire will be able to buy an estate in Alchemy City.

Selling a house in Alchemy City is really a profiteering act!

"It doesn't have to be gold, there are a lot of items that can be discounted. Alchemy City is ruled by nine great magicians, and there is no City Lord's Mansion, and all transactions are made in the Alchemy Tower in the center of the city. If you have good materials, the people of the Alchemy Tower will buy them at a higher price than elsewhere. ”

"What materials do you need?" Salin had a lot of rare materials on hand, but most of them he refused to sell. The things that the dragon had obtained were to be used as bait, and Saleen refused to take them out, at least for a short time.

"The alchemy pagoda has a price for materials, which changes frequently, and the list is very long, so I can't guarantee that I know the price every day. Sumano replied with ease.

"If I can't even scrape together the money to rent a house and don't have the right materials at hand, wouldn't I have to sleep on the streets?"

"Impossible, did you see this?" Sumano pointed to a badge on his robe and said, "This is issued by the Alchemy Tower, there is no such badge on your body, you sleep outside, you will be attacked by patrolling puppets." ”

Salin was slightly furious, Alchemy City did this, where is there still a little bit of magician, it is completely a profit-seeking businessman.

"If I'm penniless, I'm going to die here!"

"No, no!" Su Manno hurriedly stopped Salin and said, "If you really don't have any money, there are two more options. ”

"What a choice!" Salin was furious, compared to Rex's plan, Alchemy City was too philistine, and it was too indifferent to the mage. A mage who has no money doesn't even have the right to sleep in the open.

"Lord Saleen, you're mistaken. Su Manno carefully used a respectful tone, and said: "If this were not the case, the population of Alchemy City would have been tens of millions, think about it, there are opportunities to make money everywhere, if I don't need housing, how much money can I save by soliciting guests like you on the street every day?"

When Saleen heard Sumano say this, he realized that he was a little impulsive, and he used his perception to look around, but Saleen didn't find anyone paying attention here. Maybe it's because many newcomers will have such a reaction, Alchemy City does its own thing, how can they pay attention to such a trivial matter.

What Su Mano said is not wrong, let alone Alchemy City, even if it is Holy Rock City, if it is not controlled, the population will be terrifying. Even if you ask for food in Holy Rock City, you can earn dozens of times more than anywhere else.

"If the mage who came to study has no money, he can tell the people in the Alchemy Tower, and the Alchemy Tower will send you out of the Alchemy City within three days, and the carriage here can send you all the way back to your hometown, even if you live in Phoenix, you don't need to pay another copper coin. ”

"What about the second option?" Salin asked, believing that most of the mages who came to Alchemy City would not leave so easily.

"The second option is to do something for the Alchemy Tower. The mages in Alchemy City have a large demand for various materials, some of which need to be hunted in the sea, and you are also a mage, so you should know that this is time-consuming. The mages of Alchemy City generally do not participate in this kind of hunting unless they need to gain some combat experience. Almost all of these hunts are carried out by foreign mages, and the materials obtained need to be turned in, and they cannot be left behind until the debts have been paid. ”

Salin nodded, roughly understanding Alchemy City's approach.

"If I am short of money and don't owe any debts to Alchemy City, can I also participate in this kind of hunt?"

"Of course you can, the Alchemy Tower has announcements every day, what goods are needed. Otherwise, what are those swordsmen in the east of the city doing, not to go to the sea to work as coolies for mages. Sumano said proudly, even though he was only a magic apprentice, he still looked down on the swordsman profession.

"Sumano, you eat first. Salin glanced at Rex, who nodded to him lightly, signaling that he could call the shots. Saleen carefully searched for what he had, figuring out what he could sell.

Thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything he could sell.

The demon suit definitely can't be sold, this thing has a bigger effect than he thought, and if it weren't for the suit, he would have died a long time ago. Needless to say, there is still a gourd left in the Ring of Gifts, which must also be an item left behind by the goddess Myers.

Rafal's crystal ring, the family's badge, and the mutated construct golem cannot be sold.

High-grade blank scrolls, like gems, if they are sold now, there will be no place to buy them in large quantities in the future. The mid-level blank scroll can't be sold for a good price, and there is no shortage of this thing in Alchemy City.

The blank magic book left by the goddess Myers could not be sold, it turned out that this thing did not mean much to Salin, but he got Joey's guidance, and he will be able to use the full functions of this magic book in the future, and the defects of the magic strings can be compensated.

The most valuable thing left is Rafal's magic book, but those magic books can't see the light, and the alchemy city is full of talents, and it will definitely find out that this thing is a relic from a thousand years ago, and the identities of himself and Rex can't be kept secret, and in the end, the matter of the ruins in the divine punishment hell can't be covered.

Rex also has five unmutated build golems in his hands, plus a build golem part. If you sell one, it's worth a house. Although the technique of constructing a puppet has been lost, it is not unique to Rafal, let alone created by him. Sell the golem and it won't attract much attention.

Thinking of this, Salin let go of her worries and began to eat as well, Shika had already emptied her three portions and was eating Neris's share of dessert.

The environment of this tavern is also quiet, the red wine after the meal is bottled in crystal bottles, and the waiter washes a set of crystal cups again with cleaning techniques in front of Salin and others, and then pours wine for Salin and others.

If you can perform cleansing, you're at least a high-level apprentice.

After entering Alchemy City, Salin had already seen two magic apprentices, one doing chores and the other working as a waiter in the tavern. It seems that Alchemy City is an uninhabitable city.

Salin didn't directly ask Su Manno about the teacher, he saw so many magic towers outside the city, and knew that a fifth-level mage might not have much fame in Alchemy City. What Rex and Jason are going to discuss is an extremely powerful temptation for Alchemy City, and Saleen can't sell Rex, after all, the magic tower in the hell of divine punishment still has his share.

In case it is taken away by Alchemy City, his share will also be lost.

Magicians don't steal other people's things, so what it is. If it was Rafal's inheritance, Salin didn't believe that the ninth-level magicians of Alchemy City would be able to endure it.

"Sumano, let's talk about the Alchemy Tower. "Salin is curious, without nobles, how the mages of Alchemy City manage the city. And according to Sumano, there are still many swordsmen in this city.

Su Mano wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, picked up the ale, took a sip first, and then said: "There are magic towers around the alchemy city, and most of the people who actually control the alchemy city are not in the city. The magic tower in the city is only where the nine magicians issue their quests, and they won't go. There is a teleportation array in the alchemy tower, which can transmit sounds and small items, and when necessary, it can also teleport people. If there is any danger inside the Alchemy Tower, the magicians outside the city can know about it as soon as possible. ”

"I want to ask, there is no one else in Alchemy City to manage other than the Alchemy Tower? ”

"How come, Alchemy City is 12 miles long from east to west, north and south, with a population of more than 800,000, if it is just such a tower, it will not be too busy. There are also six small alchemy towers in this city, which we call the Elemental Hand. The people of the Elemental Hand are the main body that manages Alchemy City. ”

"Oh, if I'm going to buy a house, do I have to go through the Elemental Hand?"

"Yes, the Alchemy Tower is only responsible for issuing tasks, as well as transactions between outsiders and Alchemy City. Taxes and defense are the responsibility of those in the hands of the elements. ”

"Is there an Imperial Bank here?"

"No, the people of Alchemy City only know the magic notes of the Elemental Hand. ”

"Then the bank's deposit note can't be used?"

"A five-percent discount, if you don't want to redeem it, the deposit ticket is waste paper here. ”

Five percent doesn't sound high, and Skochenya's deposit ticket will also be discounted when it arrives in Qin Yin, and most of them are more ruthless than the discount in Alchemy City. But those are small amounts, and when trading privately, if it is a bearer bill, the discount is even less. In Alchemy City, the transaction is often tens of thousands of gold coins, and the five percent discount is terrifying.

Salin thought to himself, Rex was carrying at least one million gold coins, and if the discount continued, the fifty thousand gold coins would be gone. At the beginning, he went to trade with Aini for tens of thousands of gold coins, and almost died in the turmoil of the black magician.

That's not how money is spent, and no matter how rich you are, you have to know how to save. It seems that if you want to live in Alchemy City, it is best to take on a little Alchemy Tower mission. Neither Salin nor Rex had heard of the number of mages killed and injured each year in Alchemy City, and those hunting tasks were just troubles, and the mages of Alchemy City entrusted them with tasks in order to save time.

The advantage of this is that the mages in Alchemy City can concentrate on cultivating magic and don't have to worry about materials.

If a mage can devote all his time to cultivation, he will enter the realm several times faster than others. Sumano is estimated to be forced by his livelihood, and he spent all his time making money, but in the end he couldn't make the cut. Otherwise, even if he is not qualified, he will almost be able to condense the magic strings, and he will not always be at the stage of a high-level magic apprentice.

He and Rex wanted to live in Alchemy City, which was fundamentally different from what they originally thought. The environment here forces you to make money, to hunt magical beasts, to pick herbs, to dig up minerals. If you don't have any money, don't think about having time to practice or do things.

Salin was suddenly curious, where did all the mages in Alchemy City itself come from? If they weren't born locally, how could they join Alchemy City? He didn't ask Su Manor this question, he planned to ask carefully when he saw the teacher.
