Chapter 363: Rising prices, the beginning of a frenzy
The matter of getting a divine crystal for nothing was just a small episode for An Jianyou, and it was over with a little pleasure.
An Fupo just waved her hand and took care of today's shopping.
It had been two or three months since they had traveled far away, and they were preparing to return to Blue Star. Today they were not only taking a vacation for themselves, but also planning to buy some specialties from the Broken Sea to take back to their relatives and friends.
There are indeed many strange and weird specialties here, especially those from foreign ethnic groups.
"This is for dad, and this is for mentor."
"This one is for Elohi, and this one is for the mentor."
"This one is for instructor Black Knife, and this one is for mentor."
"This one is for Yih Luxi, and this one is for my mentor."
"This one is for Miss Yinling, and this one is for the tutor."
"..."
After shopping for a whole day, An Jianyoucai stopped the shopping trip without finishing the two rings he wore on his index finger and middle finger.
At this time, it was already late at night, but Damaran City was truly a giant city, and it was impossible to see the depth of night in the sky.
A sky full of stars hangs overhead, and the light falling down is not as dazzling as the sunlight during the day, but it also illuminates the entire city. The scenery seems to be even less beautiful than during the day, and there seem to be more wealthy merchants and nobles coming and going.
Late at night, District 10 is even more lively.
Although today is a rest day, An Jianyou has not forgotten her earliest goal - the research report.
When she was shopping all the way, she was completely empty-headed. She didn't pay much attention to it, and she didn't know how to spread her spiritual power. Spreading her mental power and spiritual power and scanning everywhere was a very taboo behavior. Although
It can't see through, it's just like a pair of eyes looking around, but if it stares at a strong person with a bad temper, it will be a mild beating.
Although An Jianyou is a myth, not many people can detect it through spiritual scanning, and she will not do such impolite behavior.
However, the memory and observation power of the mythical being itself far exceed the limits of ordinary people.
Even if she doesn't pay much attention, when she starts to recall, the scenes stored at the edge of her memory can be presented as carefully as a movie playback.
It’s a combination of leisure and work.
However, when An Jianyou started to recall, he discovered something strange.
"It seems that the prices in Daimiran City have increased a bit?"
"Not all, the main ones that have increased are the major categories of artifacts and potions, which have increased by about 30% compared to a month ago."
Such fluctuations are normal in some large oasis cities.
Depending on the frequency of caravan exchanges, the price of some imported supplies may vary several times a month.
However, this is Damaran City, and all kinds of supply and demand have been stable for a long time. The prices here can be said to have been stable for hundreds of thousands of years. A change of 10%, let alone 30%, is not normal.
"Is there really a change? We haven't gone to many weapon stores either."
Liuying scratched her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
They were only at the inhuman level, commander level, and their memories were much stronger than ordinary people, but they were not so good that they could never forget them at a casual glance. What's more, she didn't pay attention at all.
When you go shopping, who pays attention to these things?
"Well...I...I just remembered something, and the price has indeed increased."
Liu Ying was shocked when she saw Xu Yun weakly opening her mouth and taking out a small book from her arms, which contained dense numbers.
When did you remember it?
Taking notes every time I go shopping is too tedious!
There was only one person left. The burly Xiong Tianshuang also said thoughtfully, "I just bought some armors and artifacts. It seems to be a little more expensive."
Liuying: "???"
It turns out you are all rolling!
An Jianyou took the notepad where Xu Yun had recorded a lot of information and quickly scanned it, "The price of potions has increased the most. Well, to be precise, the price of recovery potions is rising. Combat potions are rising, like the blood snake body tempering potion."
For the training type, the price is almost the same as before.
"
"The rising prices of potions are not limited to high-end potions. White-grade physical recovery systems, strength amplification systems, etc. are also rising, but at a slightly smaller rate... The profits of such low-level potions are very low, and the price
How could it change? It’s strange.”
An Jianyou fell into deep thought.
It's like there are unknown undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface of the sea.
Could it be that Damilan City is about to break out into a full-scale war with some overlord force? There is no rumor!
Thinking of this, An Jianyou didn't have much thought to continue shopping, and hurriedly returned to Oasis No. 3. The instructor of this oasis has not yet named it, but it is already the intelligence network center arranged by Xinhuo in the Broken Sea.
Data and information are being sent from all over the world at all times.
These messages range from big to small. They are just a brief mission process that some mercenaries hand over when handing over tasks. This is a requirement of the mission guild and affects the mission evaluation.
For mercenaries, there is no need to waste much effort. Stronger writing skills are better, and a few sentences of poor writing skills can be explained. But for the mission guild, these subtle messages can be summarized by many parties.
Information comes.
However, sifting and summarizing this fragmented and massive amount of information is not an easy task.
An Jianyou boasted that after she was promoted to Shinhwa, her brain worked very fast, but she would go crazy if she was asked to process so much information. It would take at least a hundred An Jianyou.
Who is processing this information?
The information summarized in Oasis No. 3 has undergone preliminary processing and there is no junk information. Various information materials are also stored in categories.
There are no computers in the mysterious world, but there are still crystals and artifacts that store information.
It was stored in the newly built underground database under the majestic tower. With An Jianyou's authority, she could naturally come and go anywhere at will. After saying goodbye to Liuying and others, she walked into the database and took the stored information.
The data crystal was swept away by the mind, and it was put back in its original place in a moment, and then the second crystal was picked up, and so on.
Liu's eyebrows gradually frowned.
"No, it doesn't look like a full-scale war is about to break out in Damaran City."
If something big is going to happen in the Broken Sea, a superpower like the Hidden Killing Pavilion will definitely be able to get the news many times in advance.
But after all, the Mission Guild is not the Hidden Killer Pavilion. It has been in operation for only two and a half months, and does not have the intricate relationships that the family behind the Hidden Killer Pavilion has developed over hundreds of years.
The guild's coverage is wide, but its depth is far from enough. Currently, it is only working with 'grassroots mercenaries'. Those strong men who come from the great nobles and top wealthy families do not bother to hang out in the mercenary circle or the killer circle.
Waiting in the circle.
Therefore, the guild has almost no contact with the upper class circles of the Broken Sea.
Therefore, it is impossible to know the secrets that are only vaguely circulated among the upper class.
but,
When An Jianyou read the intelligence from various places in the Broken Sea, she was surprised to find that "the Seven Star Alliance, the Red Lotus Empire, the Ancient Moon Dynasty... the prices of war materials in these places are also rising! The increase is about the same as that of Da Mi
The city is almost in chaos."
"But it is impossible for the four major human overlords to fight each other, and it is also impossible for them to start a war with alien life forms."
In Damilan City, the shops that are backed by the Siren Palace and Fengling Island are operating normally.
There is no trace of nervousness at all.
So what exactly causes the price increase?
An Jianyou frowned. She was thinking hard, holding her chin with one hand and waving invisible hands with the other to capture the intelligence materials and flipping through them without interruption.
Suddenly, as if a fish broke free from its heavy restraints and jumped out of the sea, An Jianyou's eyes suddenly lit up, as if reflecting a magnificent bright moon.
She came to the room where a large amount of old information was stored, and found a secret she had vaguely heard about before.
——The historical roots of the Broken Sea, and the intermittent outbreaks of disasters!
There are records in the Hidden Killing Pavilion of this kind of disaster frenzy, which originated from the evil god war a long time ago. The god war at that time shattered several, dozens of large domains, and some of the remaining fragments evolved into the current Broken Sea, and there are some
The terrifying power of the evil god remains to this day.
Perhaps it is the residual power of the Evil God that erupts intermittently, or perhaps there are fewer evil spirits on the sea surface, and more and more evil spirits accumulate under the sea surface... The real reason is unknown. We only know that in about a few hundred years, the Broken Sea will usher in a round of
A wave of disaster spread across the entire region.
At that time, countless evil spirits will emerge from under the sea, and the intensity of the evil evil attacks will be ten times and a hundred times stronger than the ordinary evil spirits.
"So, the skyrocketing prices of war materials are probably caused by large-scale purchases by major forces?"
"The overlord force must have foreseen that the evil craze is coming!"
"I don't know how much time is left. If the evil craze comes, how will our organization deal with it?"
An Jianyou's pretty face became serious, and she kept flipping through relevant past information, and suddenly stopped at a newer file.
The last evil craze was... 113 years ago.
Well, just over a hundred years?
…
…
"The Broken Sea is about to usher in a terrifying and evil wave that will affect the entire territory?"
Panel - List of Apostles, An Jianyou's profile picture is flashing.
Seeing the message she urgently sent back, Fang You also paid attention to it and immediately asked Xiao Huan to retrieve the relevant intelligence information. After a comparison, he was 99% sure that an evil craze was about to begin!
When you have a guess, you can then look for clues based on the guess, and the confirmation is not far away.
The only doubt is...
"In the past, the evil craze broke out after two to three hundred years. How could it happen so quickly this time, only 113 years? Isn't it hundreds of millions faster?"
"I don't even know how to mess with Xiaohuan~"
She is constantly searching in the database, but there is nothing there, and she cannot conjure information out of thin air.
Although it felt strange, Fang You was not too worried.
This kind of craze is very harmful, but the local overlord force in the Broken Sea is the 'tall man' at the front. Even if he doesn't like the passive response strategies of those overlord forces, he can only choose to defend at this time.
Fortunately, we have a small business, so the only place we really need to defend is Oasis No. 3.
Those office strongholds are actually located in large cities, and their safety is generally guaranteed. When the time comes, the guild will just issue more tasks and call on the mercenaries to resist the frenzy.
Beyond that, even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't do it.
It is his purpose to ensure the safety of his family first, and then to do whatever things he has the strength to do.
"However, the lingering influence of the Evil God's War that happened a long, long time ago can cause such a big wave today. How powerful is that indescribable Evil God?"
He is also someone who has seen the battle between evil gods.
However, this so-called seeing was, firstly, in the memory fragments of Hitina, and secondly, the battle of evil gods seen by Hitina was also a reflection formed by the aftermath of countless large areas.
But even from such a distance, the terrifying power revealed in the picture made him tremble.
The myth of the seven awakenings, the demigods of the eight awakenings, the ninth level, and the tenth level.
It seems that the tenth level is the god, but the evil god is above the god.
Fang You shook his head and did not consider things that were too far away for the time being. Otherwise, it would only damage his self-confidence.
He switches to Thousand Faces' perspective.
In the gloomy environment, he did not find the figure of Thousand Faces. All he saw was many ferocious monsters, a scene of a group of demons dancing in chaos.
There are creatures with thousands of magic eyes, there are humanoid aliens that gather maggots, there are cockroach-shaped, octopus-shaped, etc.
Although there are some native fantasy creatures in the mysterious world, such as a fish-human alien race with a huge fish head and dead fish eyes, which are very different from humans in aesthetics, but compared with these minions of the evil god, they are countless times kinder in appearance.
Living in such an environment, Qian Mian must be under a lot of pressure.
It is better not to bother Thousand Faces' clone with matters over the Broken Sea, and let him/her concentrate on dealing with matters concerning the Scarlet Emperor.
After being undercover for two months, Qianmian also gained a lot.
He/she has now climbed up to the Scarlet Moon camp? The top brass of the Scarlet Emperor faction is a well-known strong man in mythology and the big boss who is responsible for commanding his minions.
Of course, Thousand Faces can only command within a certain range and cannot violate the grand strategy set by the mythical being.
After being promoted to such a position, I naturally learned a lot of secrets.
The Scarlet Emperor's blockade is quite tight, and as time goes by, more and more rituals are arranged. Different from the rituals commonly used by the oasis forces, the rituals arranged by the minions can directly borrow the power of the indescribable evil god.
, the power is much more terrifying.
Back then, the incarnation of a six-sense blood-bearded priest could arrange a ceremony to refine tens of millions of people on the Blue Star.
The ritual materials are very simple, which is how terrifying the evil god camp is.
With these horrific rituals, at least four or five mythical figures, and the demigod-level bloody emperor sitting there, that area can be described as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Fang You stopped thinking about possessing Little Huanlang again.
"I wonder if I can pretend to be an evil god's minion when I wait for Thousand Faces to advance to the myth. If I can, he/she will be able to truly reach the top of the Red Moon camp."
The information provided by Qianmian is written in the form of messages in the dialog box.
Not many words, but a lot of content.
In addition to numerous rituals, Thousand Faces also provides an important message.
It seems that the Scarlet Moon camp is about to break out into a war with a certain evil god camp. No, maybe it has already happened. Qianmian found out that dozens of tribes have been transferred to unknown places, and more are unknown.
Under the myth, no matter how outstanding they are, they are just tools in the eyes of beings like the Scarlet Emperor.
"It's good to fight, it's wonderful to fight!"
As a pure human being, Fang You could not wait for the two evil god camps to start a full-scale war. It would be best if the indescribable evil god would also use his brains.
No matter who loses or wins, he will be very happy.
Losing both sides is doubly pleasurable.
After all, no matter how you hit yourself, it will be beneficial and harmless. This is the happiness of the people who eat melons.
…
…
When the undercurrent of the Broken Sea surges, Falling Star Cave and Burning Fire Mall have become increasingly lively.
Two months ago, this oasis was just the exclusive store of Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce, but now, most of the shops have settled there, and many large chambers of commerce use it as a transit place for transactions.
Here, specialties from several major regions are gathered together. Although the scale is far from comparable to that of Damaran City, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com has its own uniqueness.
The Gilded Chamber of Commerce is a top chamber of commerce from the Eternal Frozen Territory.
The Eternal Frozen Territory produces a lot of ice-based materials, which can be sold for tens of times or dozens of times when shipped to the Outer Territory. However, not to mention the long distance, it is extremely difficult to travel to the Outer Territory. Even if you can reach other great areas, you will be unfamiliar with the place.
In some cases, it is also difficult to contact local oases.
The Gilt Chamber of Commerce made an agreement with several top chambers of commerce to trade their respective specialties in this Burning Fire Oasis. In this way, it not only avoids the danger of traveling long distances to unfamiliar territories, but also saves time. In addition, the powerful Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce serves as the middleman.
, don’t worry about encountering evildoers.
It can be described as a triple win!
This is also due to the previous auctions. Various chambers of commerce are thinking that the trade routes have been opened up. Without using them in vain, more and more chambers of commerce will use this place as a place for trade notarization.
Naturally, the burning oasis develops like flying.
But today, the leader of the Gilt Chamber of Commerce frowned, "It's strange, it's been thirteen days beyond the agreed time. Why haven't the people from the White Chamber of Commerce arrived yet?"
Traveling across a large area carries uncertain risks, so it’s no problem to be delayed by two or three days.
But ten days is a bit long.
Will they be in danger? But during the day, the Chamber of Commerce has taken this trade route no less than twice. Not to mention that they are familiar with the road, and they will not fall into some desperate situations.
On the fourteenth day, the leader of the gilt caravan finally saw the team from the White Chamber of Commerce.
However, the daytime caravan that drove into the oasis suffered more than half of its casualties, and the carriage was covered in bloodstains, looking like it had been in a miserable state after a bloody battle.
"What's going on?"
"The evil spirits in the wild are furious. The evil spirits in the wild have become extremely powerful. They all...are coming up!"
