Chapter 263: Monsoon Boat Regiment
The entire sea of clouds in the sky is artificially divided into two areas by the inhabitants.
East China Sea, as well as West China Sea.
If the most famous area of the West Sea is the Sky Arena, then the area with the greatest business opportunities and capital flows in the East China Sea is the Monsoon Boat Market.
Monsoon Boat Market is not a floating island, but a group of more than a dozen floating islands.
At that time, its founder had a whimsical idea to hire the most famous alchemist and designer at that time to mobilize the remnants of both the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm to carry out large-scale transformation of dozens of smaller floating islands, adding a large number of engines and propulsion systems, making them a flying platform similar to an airship that can be controlled by intelligent races.
Then, the founder of the big picture connected the modified floating islands, and laid out a large number of corridors and passages between them, and finally formed a huge floating platform.
Because it is too large, it relies solely on the engine, and the floating island group has never been able to raise its speed, so it has to rely on the unique cyclic monsoon in the eastern part of the sea of clouds in the sky to really achieve normal sailing.
The airship converted from a floating island, relying on the monsoon cruising route, these two factors have made it gradually famous in the whole sky and sea of clouds under the name of "monsoon boat group".
And after thousands of years, it has finally become the most prosperous area in the entire East China Sea.
"The biggest feature of this boat group is that it was jointly designed and manufactured by the remnants of the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm, so it can be said that it can be regarded as a symbol of peace in the sky and the sea of clouds. Although in the ancient Celestial War, the two major races were mortal enemies, but after arriving in the sky and the sea of clouds, it can be said that they were all survivors after the war. ”
Walking through the streets of the Monsoon Boat Troupe, Victoria, dressed as a simple but delicate lady, held Midi's arm, and the bird snuggled up to the human youth like a human, telling the history of the boat group in a crisp and pleasant voice.
And as if to prove her words, on the streets, the well-dressed and slender celestials, surrounded by demonic fluctuations, mainly dark clothes, tall and burly dragonmen, elegant and handsome dark elves, etc., these habits and cultures are completely different, and even the races that fought each other thousands of years ago were in the same city, and they also exchanged and traded with each other.
If you count Midi, then it can be said that even the human race on the Arad continent has begun to gradually contact and integrate into this city.
I have to say that the founder of this monsoon boat group has far more insight and vision than ordinary people.
Of course, it should be said that the benefits that commercial trade itself can bring are even enough to make these races in the sea of clouds who have hated each other and even fought for countless years be able to put aside their prejudices.
Of course, doing business does not mean staying in the store, at least, at the level of Midi and Victoria, it is enough to transport the spices to the port, and the rest of the sales links and so on are naturally taken care of by the commissioners of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce branch.
Originally, according to Victoria's plan, of course, it was to sell this ship of refined sperm whale spices as soon as possible, even if the market price fluctuated due to dumping.
After all, what she lacks most is time, if she leaves the Chamber of Commerce headquarters for a long time, maybe the two brothers will play some tricks, she must rush back as soon as possible with enough money, and then devote herself to a new round of intrigue.
But now, after witnessing Midi slay the kilometre-long cloud beast, Victoria's mind has changed.
Compared with internal intrigues, only strength is what is truly valuable.
As long as Midi is there, Victoria is sure enough to take down the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and the fight with the two brothers is almost like a play between children from the current point of view.
Victoria's vision has improved, so she doesn't care about those small actions, and she doesn't think that kind of conspiracy can deal with herself now.
At this moment, this intelligent and beautiful Celestial Girl has turned her gaze to the Great Storm Zone, where the real treasure lies.
Of course, the money from the sale of a shipload of spices is more than enough for the struggle between the heirs of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, but it is not enough for the millennial challenge of "crossing the Great Storm Zone".
Luckily, there's also an Ice Bead.
This orb, which uses astral light as the main material, has been infiltrated by ice clouds for hundreds of years, and has been integrated into the consciousness of cloud beasts, which can be called a superb material.
If used on a weapon, it can instantly create an extremely powerful ice weapon.
If used on armor, it is enough to withstand most fire-based attacks.
And its biggest function is naturally to make alchemy elixirs.
According to the experience of Midi's previous life, the alchemy potion made from the Ice Spirit Bead as a raw material has a huge effect on the awakening of professionals to wash and improve the purity of magic power, especially for the legal professions that are good at water and ice skills, it can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
In this sea of clouds where strength is the respect of the weak, the ice beads can be harvested, which is equivalent to the living force itself.
Who doesn't want that?
Victoria believed that in less than an hour, the Ice Bead would be enough to attract all the power of the monsoon ship.
It's just that what she is thinking about now is no longer simply how to sell the Ice Spirit Beads at a high price, but wants to take this opportunity to create a brand.
After all, judging from Midi's tone, killing the Cloud Beast is not a difficult task, even if it is really difficult at this stage, Midi can do it himself. It can be said that as long as there is a spice route, there is a way to obtain the Ice Spirit Bead continuously.
Therefore, Victoria is thinking about how to create a high-end market for a long enough period of time, while ensuring monopoly interests, and at the same time being able to hide behind the scenes and make a lot of money in a low-key manner.
After repeated thinking and calculations, plus a few temptations, Victoria finally decided on a way to sell the Ice Spirit Beads-
Auction.
"This is the Venus Auction House, it is not the largest auction house in the sky and the sea of clouds, or even the most famous auction house, but it is the most high-end auction house. Venus auctions only the finest equipment, rare materials, and legendary skill inheritances and spells that have been authenticated by the masters. All major powers, including our Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, have commissioners here. Victoria carefully and patiently introduced Midi.
At this moment, on the opposite side of the luxurious fountain square where the two of them were, on an inconspicuous building, hung an antique bronze plaque, on which a golden planet was engraved.
This is what Victoria calls the Venus Auction House, and compared to the surrounding buildings, it looks plain and understated. However, on the lavish Fountain Square, this low-key and austere is itself a kind of arrogance that stands out from the crowd.
If it is really just an ordinary old building, how can it exist for so long on the monsoon boat, which has not been demolished?
"Who is the owner of the Venus Auction House?" asked Midi with narrowed eyes and quietly.
In fact, he had no interest in commercial trade, and it didn't matter who the owner was, but there was only one thing - it definitely couldn't be the Blue Truth Cult.
This powerhouse, which has already gained a foothold in the Great Storm Zone, and at the same time has a supreme powerhouse in charge, is a behemoth even for the transcendentally awakened Midi. At least in the current dormant period, Midi can avoid the Blue Truth Sect.
It's just a big deal to lose a little profit, anyway, the auction house is not the only one with Venus.
"Venus has always practiced mysticism, and so far its owner has not been seen, but, judging by the conclusion of our Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, it is the Monsoon Ship itself. Victoria gave a 90% credible answer.
So, Midi nodded very neatly: "Then, I'll leave it to you next." ”
"Leave it to me. Victoria smiled slightly, and professionally pushed her gold-rimmed crystal glasses, revealing a beautiful sly smile.
Contrary to the simplicity and low-key appearance, the interior of the Venus Auction House is not ambiguous at all, on the contrary, it can be said to be extremely luxurious.
This extravagance is not reflected in the number of high-priced ornaments, but in the building itself.
As soon as he entered the auction house, Midi immediately felt that the concentration of magic in the air had increased a lot, and not only that, but it had also formed a reasonable circulation in the room in an extremely perfect way, as if he had returned to the training ground of the villa in the ancient city of Belmarqiu!
You must know that on the Arad continent, the training ground used by Midi is built on the magic veins constructed by the mist witch Alice, and the natural effect is extraordinary. And in the sky and the sea of clouds, there is no such thing as a "magic vein" - there are only floating islands, no mountains and rivers, no lakes and oceans, and there is not even a real "large" piece of land, how can there be a magic vein brewed from the essence of the land?
The fact that there is such a pleasant cycle of magic power in this auction house can only mean one thing - this is an artificially constructed magic gathering array, and the source of magic power is mostly extremely expensive magic crystals.
It's a real big deal.
In other words, this is the top way to burn money, to show off.
However, although Midi was a little surprised that the Venus Auction House showed off in this way, it was only surprised.
After all, he was a person who had been immersed in the dragon's blood white crystal pool for three days, and compared to the pressure of the white crystal's magic power, the concentration of this gathering magic array was no different from a breeze to Midi.
Besides, as a transcendent awakened person, Midi has little idea about essence magic now.
To level up, he had to refine the Radiance of Light.
It's just that what is taken for granted for Midi is a different scene in the eyes of others.
After all, for ordinary professionals, this is a holy place for cultivation where the concentration of magic power is higher than normal, and besides, this is "essence magic"!
Even if it is a huge wealth who is making money every day, or a person who is the leader of a certain power, as long as he is a professional, when he enters the specially arranged environment of the Venus Auction House, he will involuntarily enter the cultivation state, and at least for a few minutes, he will continue to absorb this abnormal concentration of magic power.
Just as ordinary people can't help but smell the aroma of food a few more times, this is an instinct. Professionals are always hungry for magic.
But Midi didn't do that.
Not pretending, not pretending to be calm, but really and without any reaction.
How is this possible?
