1184 Leaving and Thinking
The reckless guy who forced his way in was escorted away by the guards from the black market.
A guy who had only reached the level of a second-level wizard was not enough to make Raymond lose interest. Moreover, after the goatee left briefly, he actually agreed to let Raymond directly enter the black market's warehouse to select the goods he liked.
Simply relying on the magic projection to make a selection is naturally unable to compare with the judgment made by directly seeing the real thing, so Raymond readily agreed and followed the goatee into the warehouse hidden deep underground. .
Hundreds of strange artifacts whose value could not be accurately assessed turned into a large number of goods with clear values in front of Raymond, who had knowledge of several planes and was able to make precise comparisons.
Selling at a price also requires someone who can do his best to evaluate, so after entering the warehouse, Raymond used his strong perception and quick chip comparison ability to pick out more than 20 pieces in half an hour. Goods worth buying.
Goatee, who was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, was so happy that he almost passed out when he finished counting the magic stones. Unfortunately, the next auction would be more than a month later, so after Raymond saw the list of auction items in advance, he Losing the desire to stay here, he left directly under the guidance of Xiao Tuoli.
After Raymond left, Goatee still remembered to rush to the office quickly and report the detailed situation.
The transaction of 300,000 low-grade magic stones is not a particularly big deal for the black market in Top Cloud City, but the goods that have not been sold for many years and whose value cannot be accurately assessed still make the black market of current managers are extremely satisfied.
But after praising Goatee and driving him away, the behind-the-scenes manager who was hiding in the shadows in the corner of the office got up and came to the next room.
The reckless guy who broke into Raymond's room before had his magic power blocked and suffered a lot and was left in this room. His face was also exposed because of the magic power being blocked.
It’s just that this person came in after the black market manager came in. But he roared without fear. "Don't think that just because you have a background, you can act arbitrarily! You know my identity!"
The short and fat black market manager only smiled and spoke after sitting in front of this man. "Dear Lord Miguel, you have violated the rules of the black market and you will naturally need to be punished. Otherwise, the black market will not need to be opened again in the future..."
The bound intruder had a fierce glint in his gray eyes. "Humph! If you piss off Master Thetes of Black Wind Ridge, this black market won't be far away from closing down!"
The black market manager, who was laughing loudly, shrank his eyes. Although he was laughing, his expression was extremely cold. "Migor, are you threatening me?"
Migor, who seemed to be angry, roared indifferently. "It's something you know very well. Tell me what you want! If my message is not sent within two hourglasses, Lord Thetes will definitely bring someone here to find you!"
The black market manager who pursed his lips and stopped talking stood up. After walking around Mi Gaoer twice, he slowly spoke. "Migor, you know the rules of the black market. This is not Black Wind Ridge, and you are not Thetes. If you dare to talk to me like this again, I will send you to the City Lord's Mansion immediately!"
The black market manager's voice was low-pitched and his tone was very calm, but Migor, who had looked unruly before, shuddered, the fierce light in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he hesitated before muttering. "I admit defeat! But the goods purchased by the man before were designated by Lord Thetes. You should understand that Lord Thetes has no mercy after getting angry..."
It's just that Mi Gaoer has just given in. The black market manager roared furiously. "Shut up! You idiot! If it weren't for the fact that you were from Thetes, you would have been killed long ago!"
His face turned pale, and the tied-up Migor said unconvincedly. "Sir, Lord Thetes is bound to get that thing. I brought the magic stone that should be paid. The steward also promised to keep it for Lord Thetes for three days..."
The black market manager started circling around Meigaoer again, his face full of irritation, and he stopped and said after a long time. "Then I'll leave the management to you! The guy who bought the goods will drive a golden-winged giant eagle to Claudia. If you dare to behave like this again in the future, the people of Black Wind Ridge will not want to set foot on the summit again. The city of clouds!”
Joy and excitement flashed in his eyes, and Mi Gaoer, who was holding his neck, quickly thanked him. "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Mi Gaoer was released and immediately expelled from the black market.
But at this time, Raymond, who had left the City of Clouds, was sitting cross-legged on the back of the golden-winged giant eagle Nolen, inspecting the strange artifacts he purchased on the black market.
He paid more than 300,000 low-level magic stones in exchange for more than 40 weird artifacts.
Half of them can be confirmed in value, while the rest is something that even he himself is not sure about.
It's just that the powerful perception brought about by the improvement of the realm allows him to detect the weak energy in these artifacts that low-level wizards cannot detect. Therefore, although he cannot judge their true value for a while, he will not lose a lot in the future.
Within the stable space created by the isolation barrier, Raymond rechecked all the artifacts, sorted them and put them into the storage ring, and then took out the photo frame-like artifacts.
After a detailed comparison of the chip, it can be confirmed that this artifact is related to the picture of the girl by the stream, but Raymond is still a little undecided whether to buckle this photo frame with the picture of the girl by the stream.
Because the picture of the girl by the stream has been sealed by him again, and the alloy that the ancient Modo alchemist used to refine the puppet warrior in his hand has also been stored in another storage ring, eliminating the possibility of the picture of the girl by the stream absorbing it.
Just thinking of everything that happened when the picture of the girl by the stream appeared abnormal last time, Raymond had a headache. "If the weird illusion or icy breath appears again after buckling, it will be a bit difficult to deal with it with the current strength..."
This artifact in his hand, although it feels warm and simple in shape, but if it is not related to the picture of the girl by the stream, it is just an antique and inconspicuous.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided not to consider this problem before the compatibility of the real body was restored. He also sealed the photo frame and put it in the storage ring.
It was just that the psychological shadow before made him deliberately separate the photo frame, the picture of the girl by the stream, the puppet warrior of the ancient Modo alchemist and the remaining small amount of alloy, so that they could not be adsorbed or fused with each other.
After doing all this, Raymond, who had removed the isolation barrier, stood up and walked a few steps forward to stand on the head of the golden-winged giant eagle Noron.
After running for several hourglasses, he was now far away from the city of Peak Cloud.
It would take five days to reach Claudia according to the speed of the golden-winged giant eagle Noron.
Raymond was puzzled that the city of Peak Cloud did not build an inter-city teleportation array. After recalling this issue again, he had a vague feeling.
That is, the two planes of the surface and underground of the wizard world, which are dependent on each other, seem to be in some kind of vigilance and confrontation.
Of course, this kind of vigilance and confrontation is mainly based on the surface world.
The wizards who were stationed in the underground world more than a thousand years ago, after hundreds of years of expansion and the establishment of three solid lines of defense, seemed to be abandoned by the surface world.
A large amount of materials produced in the underground plane were sent to various parts of the surface world through the Peak Cloud City, but the resources transported from the surface world to the underground plane were decreasing year by year, and even the input of wizard apprentices was stagnant in disguise.
"Could it be that the underground world that resisted the invasion of the abyss plane was actually abandoned by the surface world? In recent years, the underground plane has actually been in a state of self-destruction?"
Thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but feel a little chilled... (To be continued...)
