Section 67 Magic Spring Chamber of Commerce
The inn that Dilu was talking about was located in the northeast of the Rotten City, next door to the lively trading area, and was in a very good location.
After presenting the pale paperwork, Lance paid a magic stone for the following week's accommodation. Leaving Arashi at the inn, he sent Dilu away and began to wander around the Rotten City alone.
The inn was only one block away from the trade district of the Rotten City, and Lance crossed an alley and came to an open street.
On both sides of the street, there are exquisitely decorated shops. They sell a wide variety of witchcraft supplies, including staff stores, witchcraft tools, and general merchants.
He walked up and down the street, and the fox faithfully recorded the shops in the Rotten City's trading district.
Eventually, he stopped in front of a potions shop. He pushed the door open, and a complicated smell hit his nose, choking him and coughing.
"Welcome, friends from afar. β
As soon as Lance looked up, he saw a potted plant greeting him with a fluttering eyebrow. Its branches and leaves are similar in structure to those of the [Beating Grass], both of which are human-like.
"[Rodin] is an expert at discerning scents, he can smell the unique scents of people, and it's clear that you're not a wizard near the City of Decay, so you must be from afar. β
A hearty voice rang out behind the counter, it was a big man with a red beard. He smiled at Lance in a friendly manner, "After all, there is no other gathering place for wizards near the Black Lands except for the City of Decay. β
The pot of magical plants named Rodin shook his head in dissatisfaction and said, "Nasty Embi." Why are I always so quick to unfold my hole cards in front of the guests?"
Ignoring Rodin's protest, Redbeard Embi moved the potted plant to the counter and asked:
"How can I help?"
Lance looked at the furnishings in the potion shop, where a large number of potted plants were arranged in a fixed formation, and some special potions were packed in cages to prevent them from escaping on their own.
The entire potions shop was in a harmonious state of noise, and the magical plants were making loud noises, but not loud.
"I need some salamander tails. Lance got straight to the point and expressed his needs.
Emby looked surprised: "You want that, it's not cheap!"
Lance was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask, "How many do you have?"
He felt a little bad in his heart. In Ferendor. The salamander tail is a very common magical plant. The price is also very cheap. Often, a magic stone can buy a dozen salamander tails that have been preliminarily refined.
The situation around each wizard's colony is different, and Ferendor is cheap because of its abundance of salamander tails, but the situation around Rotten City may be very different from that of Ferendor. Salamander tails are sold here. A good thing, of course. But in terms of price, I'm afraid it's hard to be ideal.
Sure enough, the red-bearded Embi groaned slightly. He said, "If you want to buy some salamander tails, I can get you some." But although this thing has few uses, it is very rare. Every year, about sixty copies can be produced in Afar's magic manor, and the value of each copy is about three magic stones. β
"One for three magic stones?!" Lance smiled bitterly in his heart.
Where does he have so many magic stones now!
In order to refine the Bow of Hiltins, Lance estimated that at least twenty salamander tails would be needed to ensure that the enchantment process would go smoothly. He doesn't have many magic stones on him, but according to the price estimate of Ferendor, it shouldn't exceed too much.
Who knew that the price of the City of Decay was so much higher than that of Ferendor!
Lance silently glanced at his Arcane Ring on the side, the only three magic stones left in it made him want to cry without tears.
"Twenty parts, that's sixty magic stones......"
Sixty magic stones was not a problem for Lance before, but before he left Ferendor, he had exchanged most of the magic stones for spells and other materials, and now he simply didn't have that much money on hand.
"Sir, how much do you need?" Ambi raised his voice and asked, "If you really want to buy a salamander tail, then you must make a reservation, otherwise if it is too late, I am afraid that the people of the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce will buy it first." β
Lance pondered for a moment and said, "I need twenty salamander tails, when will they arrive?"
"It's going to be at least half a month later. Embi replied, "You need to pay a deposit within a week, which is six magic stones." If it's convenient for you, you can also pay now. β
"Within a week. Lance smiled: "Remember to order for me, I'll be back soon." β
With that, he left Embi's shop, PΓΉ, and walked to Trade Street.
......
"It seems that the top priority is to get a batch of magic stones. β
Lance walked the streets, carefully calculating ways to earn magic stones. He made a windfall in the puppet city before, but that way of making money is obviously not a conventional means.
"The fastest way to get money is undoubtedly to sell medicines. Regis, that old ghost, opened a pharmacy store casually, and he earned an unknown number of magic stones. Although I'm not a master of potions, I still have a little bit of something to press the bottom of the box, and the current situation is special, so I can only use this method. β
Thinking of this, he stopped.
The shop on the left is unusually opulently decorated, with a black flag on it, which is the symbol of the Magic Spring Chamber of Commerce. According to Dilu, this is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Rotten City.
He quickly walked into the Magic Spring Chamber of Commerce, and entered the door to a clean and tidy service hall, six translucent counters, five of which were in service.
A few scattered guests wandered around the hall, looking at the pictures of various merchandise hanging on the walls. Once someone wants to buy it, they just have to take off the pictures. Naturally, a staff member of the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce would appear and take him into the trading room to trade.
Lance looked around and walked briskly to the last counter.
"Hello, your presence is the greatest honor of our Magic Spring Chamber of Commerce. The girl at the front desk smiled sweetly and looked quite professional.
"Is there anything I can help me with?"
Lance Consulting said: "Your Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce, do you have any acquisition of the pharmacy business?"
The smile on the girl's face suddenly faded a lot, but she still said in as polite a tone as possible, "Of course." However, ordinary potions can be refined by our own pharmacists of the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce, so even if they are purchased, the purchase price is about forty percent of the market price. β
Lance frowned. But he still didn't give up. He continued to ask, "What about the powerful magic potions?"
"Powerful magical potions?" the girl quickly said, "I'm sorry, but this potion is very common in the City of Decay, and our apothecary can fully meet this need." So there will be no acquisition. β
"My potion isn't your average potion of powerful magical energy. Lance emphasized, "Maybe you can ask your pharmacist to come out and try it." There may be a surprise. β
"It doesn't have to be. β
The girl at the front desk said in a very positive tone: "Although I work here. But also a primary apprentice. Basic knowledge of witchcraft is still available. The recipe of the powerful magic energy potion, which is a rotten street potion, is almost well known, and the way to make zuΓ² is also very mature. Even if you are a skilled potion master, there is nothing special about making a powerful magic potion from zuΓ². β
"If you don't have any other questions, please don't delay other guests to consult, okay?"
Lance was a little upset, and said in his heart, "You haven't even seen Lao Tzu's potion and refuse Lao Tzu?" What kind of business level is this?
Unbelievingly, he took out a bottle of powerful magic potion and put it on the counter, uncorked the bottle, and said coldly, "Now, do you still refuse to buy it?"
The girl at the front desk was stunned for a moment, she leaned over, sniffed lightly, and then showed a sneering smile:
"This smell is simply rotten! Forgive me, the wizard who refined this bottle of potion must not have even mastered the basic alchemy techniques. This bottle of potion is only a half-finished product, and if you drink it, let alone increase the strength of your magic, it may have unknowable side effects. β
"This kind of thing, our Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce won't want it!"
Langston was so angry that he smoked.
This time, he deeply felt what it means to be speechless. The level of this girl at the front desk is really terrible, and the reason why the powerful magic potion made by Lance smells strange is not because of the failure of refining the medicine, but because it uses the blood of the fog dragon!
The smell of the potion refined from the blood of the fog dragon is naturally much stronger, and its effect is several times that of ordinary powerful magic energy elixirs!
If it weren't for the fact that Lance was now shy, he wouldn't have said anything and wouldn't have sold it.
Who knew that this situation would be encountered.
He shook his head secretly, not wanting to say anything more. He was just about to put the cork on the bottle, but who knew that at this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man suddenly came over and said solemnly:
"Sir, can you show me this powerful magic potion of yours?"
Lance glanced at the other party, nodded, and handed it over.
The middle-aged man showed a hint of gratitude. He took the medicine bottle and looked down to sniff it, the surprise in his eyes growing stronger.
The girl at the front desk frowned, and the conversation between Lance and her attracted a lot of onlookers, and the middle-aged man's behavior made everyone very puzzled.
They looked at it curiously, and even the head of the Chamber of Commerce, who had been explaining to the guests in the hall, came over.
He asked the girl sternly, "What happened?"
The girl cautiously replied, "That man wants to sell us a powerful potion of magical energy...... I turned him down. β
"Powerful magic potions?" said the person in charge disdainfully, "We have a lot of this kind of thing in our storehouse, and you did a good job." β
The girl's heart was a little settled, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Today is the last day of her internship, and if she doesn't make a mistake, she will officially become an employee of the Magic Spring Chamber of Commerce next week.
At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly said loudly:
"This bottle of powerful magic energy potion, do you want to sell it? They don't need it from the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce, but our [Silver Star] Comptoir is very welcome!"
With that, his body changed abruptly, into a mud-like state, and then into the appearance of another person.
"Damn Shapeshifter Borg! Sneak into our Chamber of Commerce to steal trade secrets!"
When the person in charge of the Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce saw this scene, he was immediately furious. (To be continued......)
