There was a rhythmic tapping sound above the chamber, a signal that Nino and Arthur had made an appointment in advance.

Arthur opened the door of the chamber from the inside, but Nino didn't come in, "There's a young man in the front store who said he was a friend of yours, and I observed that he came alone. ”

Nino already knew the sensitive identities of Arthur and Joan, and was very cautious in his actions.

"It should be McGinn, Joan only told him about our stay with you, and there must be something wrong with him coming over. ”

"Shall I bring him to the backyard, or will you go out?"

"No, you ask him to open a private room on the second floor of the Retreat in front and wait for us, and we'll be there later. ”

It's not that Arthur doesn't believe McGinn, Arthur has been more careful since Aretha revealed her identity in Junxiao Building, he is just worried that McGinn will be followed, and if the two sides meet here, even Nino will be implicated.

It took McGinn nearly half an hour before Arthur and Joan entered the retreat through the back door, and Aretha was watching outside without coming in at all.

"You two are too careful, aren't you?" McGinn began to complain as soon as he saw the two of them enter the private room.

Arthur sighed before he spoke, "There are too many people who have offended, and they are all big forces, we can't be careless!"

"Isn't it the Empress and the Church of Light? The Church can't take care of you right now, and their energy is now on those aliens. McGinn was very clear about that.

"In the past, it was the Emperor and the Church of Light, but now there are more Yunxiao Merchant Houses and City Guards, and the big forces on the surface of the Imperial Capital are eager to kill us!"

"Why did you get into trouble with the city guards again? Now the streets are patrolling the city guards, and it's not easy to be targeted by them. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's that Arthur won more than 80,000 gold coins in Junxiao Building. Joan answered.

"Ahh

Joan hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, "Are you afraid that others won't hear?"

Arthur interrupted the two, "Seriously, what did you ask us for?

"How can it be so fast? That's a thousand pieces of enchanted equipment! You're asking for a lot of money, and you can't attract attention, we're scanning through the black market, weapons stores, grocery stores, and other channels. Even if we have dispersed our purchases, the price of the third- and fourth-level enchanted equipment in the Black Market of the Imperial Capital has increased a lot. ”

"In addition to these low-level enchanted equipment, there are also some fifth- and sixth-level enchanted equipment, and the quantity does not need to be very large, but it must be high-quality, and money is not a problem. ”

Arthur suddenly thought that the Blue Enchantress Cavalry Regiment still has a large number of high-ranking captains and several mercenary captains, these people follow Arthur to work hard, and Arthur will not be stingy with money.

"How rich are you now?" said McGinn, looking at Arthur in disbelief.

You must know that the price of enchanted equipment increases exponentially at each higher level, the average price of a third-level enchanted equipment is only 50 gold coins, and it rises to 200 gold coins at the fourth level, and the worst level 6 enchanted equipment also costs more than 3000 gold coins. For example, the pair of earth dragon leather combat boots with double magic under Arthur's feet even fetched 30,000 gold coins, which is about to catch up with the price of a piece of excellence-level equipment.

Arthur smiled and said, "I still have a net worth of 1.8 million gold coins from the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group. ”

"Since you're so rich, there's almost a door to that. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Joan, who asked.

"Of course, you're going to buy space equipment. ”

"You've found a source?"

"It can only be said that there are eyebrows, if you are rich enough, it will not be a big problem. ”

"What do you mean?" Joan was puzzled.

"Space equipment has always been priceless, and every time it appears on the market, it will definitely attract countless people to scramble, and in the end, it must be the one with the highest price. ”

"Which auction house has space equipment in its lot?" Arthur reacted immediately.

McGinn smirked at his nose.

"You say your family, why do you have an auction house?" Joan scoffed in disbelief.

McGinn replied unconvinced: "I didn't say that our family has an auction house, I mean this 'Ghost Market Treasures' auction was organized by our Clay family. ”

"What the hell is the Treasure Auction?" "Arthur was completely confused.

Joan explained for McGim: "The underground black market in the imperial capital is basically controlled by three forces, and McGinn and the Clay family are the largest of them. Some of the things that flow into the black market are very valuable, and it is difficult to sell them in the daily underground trade, so the forces that control the black market will organize a batch of valuable things every once in a while, and send invitations to large buyers in need to organize an underground auction. ”

McGinn further explained: "In the beginning, the three major underground forces played their own games, because there were conflicts over customers. Later, the three families sat down to negotiate, and there were no special circumstances, and the underground auction in the imperial capital was only held three times a year, and each family took turns to take the lead in organizing, and the underground auction three days later was the first auction of the year organized by our Clay family. ”

"You mean there's space equipment in the lots in this underground auction?"

"Although the three are not directly using force now, they have never stopped fighting openly and secretly, including in underground auctions, and each will try their best to make some cherished and expensive lots, so as to overpower the other two. I managed to sneak a peek at the finale lot that our family had prepared, which was a space bracelet that Marquis Gary's widow was planning to auction. ”

"Marquis Gary's widow, Marquis Gary is dead?" Joan knew Marquis Gary, and the Marquis was still related to the Imperial Family.

"Don't you know? More than two months ago, the Arakawa ambush battle, the imperial army suffered heavy losses, killing several strong generals, including Marquis Gary. McGinn explained.

"How can the Marquis's family be willing to sell such a valuable thing?"

"There is something special about the Marquis Gary's family. Although the marquis is a strong general, his two sons are waste wood in cultivation, and none of them have reached the strength of the war school. The marquis's present widow was a concubine whom he later married, and gave birth to another son to the marquis, who was now not yet five years old. As soon as the marquis died, his two sons who had been thrown out returned to fight with the concubine for the inheritance. This space bracelet was secretly taken out and sold by the concubine behind the back of her two sons, probably because she wanted to get a lot of money and fly away. ”

There are various reasons behind the things that flow into the black market, and this space bracelet is at least not hot.

Arthur and Joan are looking forward to the upcoming "Ghost Market Treasures" auction......
