Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 73: News about the underground auction

"That's the sword..." As soon as the old man saw the sword on the table, his facial expression was obviously stunned, and it took him a breath to come back to his senses.

"Ahem, are you here to sell this sword?" The old man suppressed his composure and sat opposite Ayton, looking at these young people carefully, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yes, I wonder what price you can give," Ayton replied lightly. Based on the sword made by the so-called dwarf master just now, Ayton already had a clear figure in his mind.

"That sword is quite good, so we plan to give it away..." The old man touched the sword body carefully and then lifted it up slightly. He was more and more shocked. This sophisticated weapon was better than anything he had ever seen. The weapons need to be 'exquisite', even as good as some first-order 'epic' weapons.

"How about 90 gold coins?" the old man answered slowly.

"What! It's 10 gold coins less than that broken sword." Ariel couldn't help shouting when she heard this number. Although she doesn't understand weapons, the weapons Ayton made with his own hands are priceless treasures in her eyes.

"This... little girl, please don't be impulsive. First of all, you are here to sell weapons, and we specialize in selling weapons. We need to charge a certain agency fee."

"And this sword is not very sharp, so it is difficult for me to give a higher price," the old man explained hurriedly.

Ayton sighed: "Let's go, this company has no sincerity at all."

After saying that, he stood up.

"Little brother, wait a minute, don't you believe what I say? If you don't believe me, you can try it. In terms of sharpness, yours is not even as good as a fine sword I picked at random." Seeing Ayton's head, When he didn't reply, even the blue-clothed magician and the green-cloaked man next to him stood up. The old man quickly said: "Let's do this, 110 gold coins, I'll do it."

Hearing this, Ayton slowly turned his head.

The old man looked happy, thinking that he could make a lot of money.

But Ayton's next words dispelled his thoughts: "The sharpness is indeed not the strong point of this sword, but its magical conductivity is equivalent to an ordinary epic weapon below the third level, and the shape and material are perfect. This one is actually sold for 110 gold coins.”

The old man paused, thinking that he was an expert. At the same time, he secretly cursed the attendant for not telling him this earlier.

"In that case, tell me how much it will cost." The old man saw that Ayton was young and probably didn't understand the price of weapons very well. When the time came, he would retreat to advance and lower his price again.

Ayton smiled slightly: "Actually, this sword is free."

"You don't want money!?" The old man's eyes narrowed: "Then what do you want?"

"intelligence"

"Intelligence?" The old man also showed a smile and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The role of intelligence can be great or small. You may not be able to get the information you want to know with just your 'sophisticated' weapon."

"It's better to know a little bit than not to know anything at all." Ayton returned to his seat, and Ariel sat beside him, looking at the old man threateningly, but the latter was not worried at all. In his territory, he is still afraid of a little girl.

But he didn't know that the reason he wasn't scared yet was because Ariel didn't show any murderous intent.

"Okay, then what do you want to know?" The old man stared directly into Ayton's eyes.

“Times, locations, and items auctioned at underground auctions.”

"Hiss" the old man took a breath and said slowly: "You are not old, but you have a big appetite."

"My brother told you to speak quickly." Ariel, who was beside her, was a little impatient by the old man's slow speaking tone. Can't you speak more cheerfully? It has to be so mysterious.

"Ariel!" Ayton took her little hand and motioned her to calm down first. The more impatient she was when faced with someone like him, the more she would be at a disadvantage.

"Oh" Ariel sat down reluctantly, wondering why listening to their conversation was more tiring than fighting.

"Wait a little longer." Lan Keke put his hand on Ariel's shoulder and whispered into her ear: "Usually their conversations take a long time, and in some cases they even last for several days. sky."

"How many days!?" Ariel turned to look at Lan Keke in disbelief. She was just saying something, but she actually said it would last for a few days, and she couldn't even fight for that long.

"That's right. Negotiation is the most time-consuming. Bargaining is the most time-consuming."

……

"First of all, do you have the strength to enter there now?" The old man looked at Ayton and his group carefully. Their clothes were not expensive, and their weapons were hidden in the scabbards behind them. Their grade could not be seen.

But he noticed the blue staff in Lan Keke's hand. Although it was wrapped with a black cloth, staffs were generally more expensive than weapons, and staffs rarely had inferior quality, because those things were difficult to conduct magic. , it is better to release magic with a piece of pig iron than with bare hands.

With a magician present, he shouldn't be much weaker.

Ayton smiled lightly: "Do you think someone who just gives away a sophisticated weapon will be unqualified?"

Ayton now just needs to pretend... to pretend to be rich.

"Really... In that case, why don't you take out more gold coins first?"

“Don’t you know the reason why money should not be leaked?”

"Haha, if you want to participate in that auction, don't you still think about not taking out the gold coins?" The old man smiled.

‘This old man is really difficult to deal with’

"Of course I know that I have to spend some gold coins to participate. Isn't this just to get information from you?"

"Just over a hundred gold coins are not enough to meet this threshold."

"Really?" Ayton felt nervous. He really didn't have any extra gold coins on him now.

"And judging by your appearance, you must have picked up this weapon from somewhere. This is probably your most valuable thing."

By now, Ayton had completely fallen into a disadvantage and compromised: "Tell me, how many gold coins are needed to participate in that auction."

"This is very important news," the old man said with a smile. He was sure that these people had never participated in the underground auction once: "But I will give this to you for free. You need at least 500 gold coins to buy it. Get the cheapest item.”

"500 gold coins is enough to get started? So how many gold coins does a slave need?" Ayton asked in a deep voice. Calculating the cost of 500 gold coins, it is equivalent to the time it takes him to build 10 high-quality weapons, which is about five days.

However, it only costs about 500 gold coins to build a third-level rare weapon, and it only takes a day and a half.

As for Ayton, it takes 5 days to build an epic-level weapon, but he doesn’t know the specific price. It is estimated to be at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands.

"Then look at this problem..." The old man tapped his sword with his fingers and said nothing.

"In addition to this question and the time when the auction starts, I will give you this sword." Ayton said lightly: "If the location is good, I will come to buy it from you again when the time comes. How about it?"

"Thank you for your patronage." The old man motioned to the attendant next to him to put away the sword, and then said with a smile: "The price of a slave is about 1000 to 2000 gold coins. The auction will be held at 7 o'clock in the evening three days later. I hope it will be held at o'clock in the evening." You can visit our store again before the auction begins.”

This sword is actually worth 200 gold coins, and the time when the auction starts and the price of the slave auction are nothing. Anyone who knows a little bit about the market knows that the most important thing is the location of the auction.

If Ayton hadn't come by then, he would have been left with 200 gold coins for free. If he had come, the information about his location would definitely be far more than 200 gold coins.

"I know, let's go." Ayton said and led everyone out.

The old man thought he had made a profit, but in fact he could get the information about the underground auction that Ayton won. He didn't care about the small amount of money. He now fully understood the rarity of the blacksmith master in this continent. Based on his average of 5 days With the abnormal ability to create an 'epic' weapon, opening a weapons store is enough to lead a very luxurious life.

However, he has to earn at least 2000 gold coins in three days, which makes him a little embarrassed now that he is penniless.

"Brother, why don't you ask him if he sells any forest elf slaves?" Ariel asked in confusion. Aton just asked about the price of the slaves. He didn't ask if there were any forest elves in the underground auction. If no forest elf is captured by then, wouldn't it be a large sum of money in vain.

"Whether he has it or not, you will know when you go there. And didn't I say that we are not short of this little money?" Ayton said proudly. He was more and more glad that he had learned Bahrain's blacksmithing skills, otherwise he and Ariel You may have to live a life of robbing families and homes.

The dark elves plunder everywhere because they have no life skills and only know powerful martial arts and magic.

Of course, there are also some historical reasons and the reasons for the blood moon, but the demon king Sargeos has been dead for such a long time. If the dark elves learn life skills, take the initiative to give up hatred, admit their mistakes and repent, will they be able to be with other people? The forces are back together, and we no longer have to hide in a dark, dark cave all day long.

"That's easy to say, so how can we raise 2000 gold coins in three days?" Lan Keke curled her lips and said, actually saying that she was not short of money in front of a princess, which reminded her of the embarrassing incident with the hotel credit. .

"It's not easy. I'll sell you directly. What will those nobles' expressions be like if they find out they bought a slave princess? Haha," Ariel laughed.

"You..." Lan Keke's pretty face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed.

"It's a joke, why don't we just rob them by force?" Ariel said. Her understanding of human strength is that humans are generally weak, so just rob them and it's done. This is a typical dark elf thought.

"Ahem, there will definitely be a large group of thugs and guards at the underground auction, so it's better to be on the safe side." Ravel was almost frightened to death by Ariel's words.

If they dare to start a riot in a big city, the city's guards and patrols will definitely arrest them together with the auction staff. Then the auction staff will be out in minutes with some connections and some money. They just don't know.

"What's your suggestion?" Ayton asked.
