The northern area of the outer city can be regarded as the most chaotic area in the entire outer city. This chaos is different from the chaos in other places. The chaos here is due to too many large and small forces, and the layout is even more intertwined.
Even the territories of some forces that are close to each other are in a state where you have me and you have me, but even so, there are rarely any serious battles between these forces. After all, in this area in the north of the city, the real
There is only one controller, Wanguo Auction House.
Almost no one has heard of the World Auction House in Shinkari County, but within Shinkari County, especially in the Acropolis, it can be said that no one knows about it. In other words, I dare not not
You know, because various forces and families will warn the people below not to offend the Auction House of All Nations.
Since it is such a large-scale auction house, of course, large and small auctions are held every day, but what is truly called the "Universal Auction" only happens once a year.
The auction will last for two days, and the first auction is scheduled in the evening, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the entire auction. Many forces will not take action at the first auction, but instead take this opportunity to make new friends and contact old friends.
Friends become the main purpose.
The Yelin Empire has control over monsters and beasts, and even has laws prohibiting various trading activities of monsters. However, the trade of medicinal materials will not be strictly controlled by the empire. The "Auction of All Nations" targets one word,
"medicine".
The three auctions are actually related to "medicine". The first auction is for various equipment and consumables for refining medicine, while the second auction is for pure medicines, which will also include various materials that can be used to refining medicines.
A variety of materials, such as animal cores and some ores, are also included in the second auction.
The last one is also the highlight of the World Auction. He is auctioning the refined finished medicine, which is the most sought after by warriors and the real goal of the caravans. In principle, there is no limit on the level of the medicine, that is,
It is said that medicine powders, pills and medicine pills can all participate in the auction, but the quality requirements of the medicine are higher.
Although the regulations are like this, there is no medicinal powder in the last auction of the year. After all, refining the medicinal powder to the best quality is not only a test of the medicine refining technology and the quality of the medicine itself, but more importantly, for the pharmacist
It is a test of personal ability, or a test of nearly lost abilities.
So over the years, most of the last auctions have been some pills, with top-grade and top-grade pills being the protagonists of the auction. Medicine pills will also appear, but even the most common low-grade pills have been enthusiastically received.
After all, a strong person in the concentration stage may not be able to find a medicinal pill regardless of his quality.
Seeing that the sun had moved towards the center, Ulan endured the impatience in his heart, clenched his fist and tapped the table several times quickly.
"Why are you always so impatient? Some things are not useful if you are anxious. Instead, it is very important to relax your mind first." Li Kuang glanced at Ulan opposite, shook his head and said.
Wu Lan raised his eyebrows, and said with a hint of anger: "Didn't you say that you want to participate in the auction? Look at what time it is." He pointed towards the sun in the sky and continued: "
Once it’s past noon, you will never accept any auction items. You also know this rule!"
He nodded, and from the change in Li Kuang's eyes, it could be seen that he still looked very calm, and said slowly: "I have confidence in this boy. Since he said he can make it in time, he will definitely make it in time."
As soon as Li Kuang's voice fell, he subconsciously glanced at the street, and then said with a smile: "Look, I want you not to be so impatient. Go ahead, it's your turn."
Following Li Kuang's gaze, he saw a young man in a white shirt on the street corner not far away, walking towards this direction in a leisurely manner.
Initially, Wu Lan had a happy look on his face after hearing what Li Kuang said, but when he turned around to look, his face immediately tightened and he couldn't help but said: "Why do you have to look like you deserve a beating?"
You look like you, why don’t you dress more normally?”
Shaking his head, Li Kuang said directly: "Have you forgotten what the plan he made is? Since he wants to attract attention, I think his current state is just right."
Thinking again about what Li Kuang said, Wu Lan also thought that what he said made sense, so he didn't say anything more, but stood up and walked out of the tea shop, heading straight towards Zuo Feng.
As soon as he entered the side street, Zuo Feng had already spotted Li Kuang, who was wrapped up tightly in a teahouse on the street. Seeing Li Kuang slightly raising his head and casting a questioning look at him, Zuo Feng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
, and at the same time, he gently pinched a paper package with two fingers and shook it gently in front of him.
Seeing the inconspicuous paper package in Zuo Feng's hand, Li Kuang was already prepared, but there was still a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Seeing the change in Li Kuang's expression, Zuo Feng just smiled and nodded, then walked towards Ulan who was walking out of the teahouse.
When the two came close, Wulan's face was already full of displeasure, and he said: "What on earth are you doing? Don't you look at the time? Why did you come at this time? I don't know where the other person is now."
Can I still accept your auction?"
"Didn't you say it ends at noon?" Zuo Feng asked in confusion.
"Do you think this is one of those small auction houses? Wanguo Auction House, they have a high priority for one item and it will exceed the time limit. If we are even slightly dissatisfied with the auction items, we will be coaxed out on the spot."
As Wu Lan said this, his pace quickened a bit, leading Zuo Feng towards a huge archway not far ahead.
As he walked closer, Zuo Feng saw that this was not a building, but a street. At the head of the street was a huge archway entirely carved from jade.
Just seeing this archway, Zuo Feng couldn't help but be startled. When he saw Linzhi's Duobao Trading Shop in the Acropolis, he felt that it was already very "arrogant".
But now that he saw the archway, Zuo Feng realized that he still lacked imagination. Looking up at the archway, he saw five large gilded characters of "Wanguo Auction House", each of which was about half the size of a person.
Especially the dazzling light on each word. After careful identification, it turned out that these five characters were made by melting gold cakes. I secretly estimated in my heart that just these five characters would probably cost hundreds of gold.
Pie, this is equivalent to at least over 10,000 gold coins.
"This, this is..."
Before Zuo Feng could finish his words, Ulan had already gently pulled the corner of his clothes and said at the same time: "Don't talk nonsense, it's inside."
After hearing what Ulan said, Zuo Feng immediately reacted and immediately assumed his young master's appearance again. He opened the folding fan with a "pop" sound and shook it gently in front of his chest. At the same time, he turned to Ulan and said
: "Miss, please lead the way."
This sudden change made Ulan unable to react for a while, but she was stunned for a moment before she remembered her original plan, gave Zuo Feng a sharp look, then made a gesture of invitation, and then left
Taking the first half step, Zuo Feng led the way through the huge jade archway and towards the special street inside.
After actually stepping inside, Zuo Feng already discovered the difference. The left and right sides of the street were not shops, but various paintings hung there.
Glancing over them, Zuo Feng could tell at a glance that they were not works of art, but simple depictions of various commodities, especially when there were descriptions and auction prices next to the commodities.
Wulan, who was walking next to him, lowered his voice and explained: "These are the items for this auction. Only the annual International Auction will allow guests to predict most of the items in advance in this way."
.
In this way, people participating in the auction can carefully plan beforehand which products they are prepared to buy. Some people will even discuss with some potential competitors to try to purchase the goods at a slightly lower price using a similar transaction method.
"
"Does Wanguo Auction House allow such a thing?" Zuo Feng asked with some confusion.
"Of course it is impossible to allow it, but the customers faced by Wanguo Auction cover almost the entire continent. So in most cases, it is rare to work together to lower the price of the auction. In addition, the auction house also has means to cope with it and control the price.
Within a reasonable range.”
Zuo Feng, who knew a little about auctions, had already roughly guessed that merchants would be deliberately arranged to participate in the auctions during the auctions. If the price was too low, the auction house would rather buy it back than buy it back.
It was auctioned off at a low price.
"Of course, these are extremely precious items that require such methods. Your things are not included in this."
Looking at Ulan with a half-smile, Zuo Feng asked in confusion: "Why doesn't my auction have such qualifications?"
"How could something you spent half a night and less than half a day preparing be the kind of thing that would be fought over by all parties?" After thinking about it, Ulan added; "Besides, you just delivered it now.
Even if the other party is willing to accept the auction items, there is no time to draw pictures and hang them outside."
After listening to Ulan's explanation, Zuo Feng already had a rough idea. He nodded and said to himself: "That's not bad. If I had announced my auction items in advance, I'm afraid it wouldn't have achieved the effect I expected."
After hearing what Zuo Feng said, Wu Lan curled his lips and said, "I don't know where you got your confidence from. I don't know how shameless you can be when your auction is rejected in the end."
While the two were talking, they saw that they had reached the end of the street. There was a huge screen wall here. Carved on the screen wall was a picture of undulating mountains. Just one look at Zuo Feng revealed that this
It’s the Tianping Mountains.
"Don't you know that the auction only starts in the evening? You have to look at the pictures of the auction items in front of your head. There is nothing here." An old man said lazily.
After hearing what the old man said, Zuo Feng slowly turned around, looked towards the side room, and said with a smile: "I have a lot for auction, I wonder if I should register here to receive it?"
When the old man heard Zuo Feng's words, he slowly raised his head and took a look, then asked impatiently: "What is the lot?"
Zuo Feng solemnly placed the prepared lots on the table in front of the old man. After the old man casually glanced at Zuo Feng, he glared at Zuo Feng and said, "You are just for fun, little old man, put these away."
