Chapter 31: The Proverb of Despair
"There are a few of them. The shopkeeper led him to a counter, reached out and took out a few slightly worn fishskin books, and handed them over.
Liangchen took it and flipped through it briefly, a slightly thicker "Brief Score of the Sea Monster", and the other few books were all travelogues written by the scattered rangers.
He flipped through it briefly, and the "Sea Monster Brief Spectrum" was written about common krakens and sea beasts, while the other books were written about rare demons.
Anyway, there are still some days to sail, so it is better to take them all and keep them for the road to read, he thought in his heart and asked, "How many marbles are there in these books?"
"Fifteen thousand in total. When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and opened his mouth to offer.
"Take them all. Liangchen didn't bargain and handed over the marble directly, and put away a few books.
"Shopkeeper, I heard there's a trade fair in the evening?" asked Liangchen.
"Exactly, our Haohan Pavilion trade fair is more worthy of participation than other shop trade fairs. Not only are there all kinds of rare materials, but there are also many treasures that treasure hunters have searched for from the underwater caves. If you're lucky, you can also exchange it for Gu Bao!" The shopkeeper saw that he should be worth a lot of money, and immediately boasted.
"Gu Bao!" Liangchen exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well, not only will there be ancient treasures at the treasure ship auction, but even in normal auctions. After all, the West Sea is vast, and there are many ancient caves. ”
"At the last treasure ship auction, a treasure hunter monk who returned from the deep sea took out an ancient treasure, which attracted many people to fight for it, and was finally exchanged for several rare treasures by one person. The shopkeeper looked proud and proud.
"Listening to what the shopkeeper said, is there any difference between this fair?" asked Liangchen.
"Yes. There are two kinds of trade fairs in Jiyun Island, the first is a small trade fair that is held regularly by each shop. This kind of trade fair is mostly held to serve the monks who go to sea to hunt and hunt for treasures, and the scale is slightly smaller.
The second type is the Treasure Ship Auction. It is only opened every time the treasure ship docks, and it is held exclusively for the treasure ship passengers. Because of the large number of customers on the treasure ship, but also from all over the world, the demand is very high, and the purchasing power is also very strong, so almost all the shops on the island will hold an auction when the treasure ship is docked, and some shops even hold two. ”
"The Treasure Ship Fair is free for every passenger on the treasure ship, and the monks of the island are charged some marble to enter, because they all want to use this auction to sell their treasures or exchange them for some needed treasures. ”
"No wonder I just got off the boat, and immediately a few people surrounded me!" said Yoshichen with a smile.
"Haha, this is also a last resort, after all, a good opportunity is rare. ”
"The auction on our Jiyun Island is only medium-sized, and if you go to Shenshan Island, the fair there is a real sea and sky event!
"According to rumors, there are also Sea Clans going to participate!" the shopkeeper continued.
"Oh, aren't the Sea Clan and the Human Race incompatible, how can they still participate in the fair?" asked Liangchen with some surprise.
"Hehe, the Sea Clan also needs a lot of materials on land, and we also need sea treasures, and besides, they don't participate directly, but contact through some shops or monks to find a safe human race to come forward. There was an ambiguous expression on the shopkeeper's face that could only be understood.
"I see!" Liangchen suddenly became interested when he heard this, "Do you know what treasures are at tonight's fair?"
"It's hard to know for sure. After all, this is a trade fair, not an auction, so it is difficult to register the treasures. And there will be time for the treasure ship passengers to come up to the stage to display the treasures in exchange for what they need. After a successful transaction, our chamber of commerce will only withdraw some commissions. The shopkeeper shook his head and explained,
"Now that Your Excellency has received our invitation, you must participate in it then, and it will definitely make your trip worthwhile!"
"Thank you for the warm introduction of the shopkeeper, I really want to participate in the evening fair. Liangchen replied with high interest.
So he walked around the shop again, and went out for a stroll.
The island was not big, but it took him half a day to walk around it all, and he walked towards the treasure ship with satisfaction.
When he got to the boat, he showed the jade boat in his hand and returned to the room unimpeded.
He took out the few books he bought, briefly flipped through a few pages, and then chose the "Brief Score of the Sea Monster" to study.
"Shark people, there are many shark people in the north of the sea country, the water dwells like fish, the soil is like people, and the eyes can cry beads. The name of the pearl is shark bead, which can be used in medicine and alchemy. When mourning, blood beads are occasionally shown, the pearl name is blood shark beads, and the best gold in the beads is hard to find, and it is the refining of nourishing elixirs on the top grade medicine. The shark is good at weaving, and the woven shark silk can be used to refine soft armor, or used as the inner layer of heavy armor"
"Doll turtle, there are turtles like people in the starfish reef area of the West Sea, its body is like a turtle, the face is like a baby, the four legs are long, the tail is long, the whole body is blue like ink, and on the full night of the moon, step on the tide on the reef to leave eggs. Its eggs can be used to refine longevity pills, and its shell can be used to make low-level spirit shields and ink shields. ”
“”
While he was poring over the score, in another room on the ship, an old man and a young man were facing a crystal bead and casting a spell with all their might.
I saw that the light of the crystal bead was uncertain, and the pearl was bright and dark, and the smoke was swirling.
After a long time, a blurry figure finally appeared.
The figure is almost indistinguishable, only the whole body exudes two blue and red lights, which is a bit dazzling.
"What's going on! Could it be that this person is farther away from us?" asked the young man next to him, looking at the increasingly blurred figure, with some confusion.
"Not necessarily! If there is a forbidden formation to isolate it, there will be such a scene, or this person's realm has been improved or he has a treasure on his body. The old man next to him said with a deep groan.
"Let's hope it's the latter. The young man said with a heavy heart.
"Don't worry, the great sacrifice's fateful proverb will be true! The young master is hopeful!" the old man said with a resolute look on his face. I want to talk about "Giant Gate Roll" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
