Chapter 1307 Just What I Wanted
This made Lin Li a little strange. You must know that there is no open sea here. The entire sea area belongs to the Kingdom of Jindu. Does the Mermaid still have to sail outside the waters of the Kingdom of Jindu? However, he soon understood that the Mermaid was not afraid of inspections from the Kingdom of Jindu, but some secret traders were not as prestigious as the Mermaid. When the Mermaid was far away from the Port of Helena, ships of various sizes emerged from the night and approached the Mermaid.
"Master Fei Lei, the Secret Trader Market is about to open. Let's go there together." Donald was also a regular customer here. When he saw the ships coming, he immediately walked up to Lin Li and reminded him.
Lin Li nodded, took Conneris and Angelano, followed Donald and Prince Tory to the cabin, and asked as he walked: "Master Donald, those ships should be the cargo ships of some secret traders, right?" ?”
"Yes, secret traders like them dare to sell anything, and sometimes they even drag giant ocean beasts over directly. However, generally, ships like this are mostly loaded with slaves for sale, or precious marine life." Donald explained to Lin Li while leading the way.
Although the Mermaid is large enough, it only provides a place for trading. It is impossible to load all goods directly on the ship. Especially as Donald said, there is almost nothing that the secret traders dare not sell. Slaves, marine life, or anything that can easily cause trouble cannot be brought on board. If you want to buy those things, after the transaction is concluded, the Secret Merchant Alliance will send someone to supervise the handover of the goods to ensure the interests of the guests.
Under the guidance of Donald, Lin Li and others quickly arrived at the cabin of the Mermaid, which was a very open space, like a huge square. At this time, here, the secret traders have already placed their goods in their respective positions.
Putting aside various other factors, it is simply this scene. It reminded Lin Li of the farmer's market before time travel. Of course, compared to the messy farmer's market, this place looks much more orderly. Here, both the guests and the secret merchants are very quiet, quietly browsing various goods, and quietly waiting for customers to come.
There are probably nearly a hundred stalls arranged in the entire cabin. Each stall is about two meters wide. According to Donald's introduction, these secret merchants are of the lowest grade. Through the door at the end of the cabin, you can also reach the last part of the cabin, where the things are truly high-quality.
However, for Lin Li, it doesn't matter whether it is high-quality or not, the key is to be useful to him. Things that are useful to you are the most valuable, and things that are useless are the only ones in the world. That's still useless. What's more, even if the secret trader who can come here is of low grade, how low can it be.
then. When Donald planned to take Lin Li and the others directly to the upper floor, Lin Li declined Donald's kindness and said, "Master Donald, Prince Tory, you go ahead. I will show them around."
Donald also knew that everyone had their own secrets. Being able to bring Lin Li here was considered a favor. If he really followed him every step of the way, he would be disgusting. The reason for coming to a place like this is to search for treasures. No one wants to find something immediately known to others.
Therefore, after being rejected by Lin Li. Donald did not show how disappointed he was, but said politely: "Okay, Master Fei Lei, take your time and take a look. Tory and I won't disturb you. I hope you can find something you like here."
Donald and Tory left soon after. Lin Li, along with Conneris and Angelano, slowly began to browse the secret trader's stalls from scratch. This secret merchant market is very different from the gift of the sea. The gift of the sea is basically based on various resources, but the secret merchant market is full of rare and rare things.
But there is one thing. This secret merchant market does not care whether the goods are genuine or fake. If you want to buy real things, you have to rely on your own eyesight. If you buy fake goods, you will have to admit that you are unlucky. Not only will the secret merchant who sold it not refund the goods, but the secret merchant alliance will not do anything about this kind of thing.
For example, in front of a secret trader's booth, Lin Li saw a replica of the Titan Dragon Spear. Its appearance was completely copied from the epic myth, and it only contained some thunder and lightning power. And the most fake thing is that the size of this Titan dragon gun is only two or three times larger than the war spear used by normal humans. The Titan giant can only use this as a toothpick.
There are also people selling treasure maps, saying that they are the tomb of the king of the Sea Clan. Although Lin Li is not sure that the map is fake, but considering that the Sea Clan has not yet perished, even if the map is true, who dares to dig up the sea? The mausoleum of the clan king! Or think about it from the other side, if the treasure map is real, then why doesn't the secret trader dig it out himself? Isn't it possible that the treasure in the tomb is not worth the money for selling the map?
To put it simply, this place is like an antique market. There are fakes and genuine ones. If you buy fakes, you can only blame your poor eyesight. But on the other hand, secret traders sometimes slip up and sell genuine products as fakes. Therefore, it can also be said that this is a battle between buyers and sellers. Whoever loses should not be blamed.
Of course, there are only a minority of fakes. Even if those secret merchants wear masks and are not afraid of losing their reputation, the secret merchant alliance will not want their signs to be smashed by fakes. Although the Secret Trader Alliance does not force all secret traders to be genuine, it does have its own set of evaluation standards. If a secret trader goes too far and is shameless, it will be easy for him to be kicked out of the alliance.
For example, the second-level cabin where Donald and Prince Tory went, it can be said that there will definitely be no fakes there, and the grade is obviously one level higher than those of the secret merchants outside. For those secret merchants to be able to enter, in addition to their strength, the most important thing is that their credibility has reached a certain level.
This time, there were many guests invited to the Secret Merchant Market, thousands of them. Some people, like Donald and others, went straight to the second-floor cabin as soon as they entered, but more people, like Lin Li, slowly browsed around in the hall. Fortunately, the hall is extremely spacious, so even though there are many people, it doesn't seem crowded, especially because they are all well-known people, and they don't run around and crowd around in an unmannered manner.
Among the guests who came, Lin Li's acquaintances were naturally included, such as Prince Jonathan of the Kingdom of France, Prince Jeremiah of the Kingdom of Leiding, Archbishop Enlos of the Temple of Light, High Priest Senderos of the Temple of Darkness, and so on. These people are not like Lin Li who has only been in Anriel World for a few years and has their status. Anyone who has not participated in the Hai Market several times would not be surprised to become a regular customer of the Secret Merchant Alliance.
Not to mention those giants, even the representatives of the forces in Qingfeng Plain, such as Joseph and Klaus, are no strangers to this secret merchant market. After all, this secret merchant market is not only found in the Kingdom of Jindu. There are also such activities on the mainland on a regular basis, but the quality is definitely not as good as this one.
Although Lin Li saw some familiar people, he did not go over to say hello. And those people didn't come to look for him, they just nodded to each other. Everyone knows that the Secret Merchant Market is open for a maximum of six or seven hours. If you really want to browse everything here, this time is not enough. Chatting can be done at other times, so no one wants to waste time in the Secret Trader Market, nor will they waste other people's time.
"Hey, President Fei Lei, you're here too!" Not everyone was so conscious. How could such a scene be without Kantoli, who is famous in Jindu Kingdom. Next to Kantoli, there was another acquaintance of Lin Li, it was Haikos of the Octopus clan who had previously competed with Lin Li on the level of inscriptions.
The last time Contoli met Lin Li was in the market. It was said that it was a chance encounter, but it was actually planned. Otherwise, in such a big market and with so many shops, how could it be so coincidental that Haikos met Lin Li. It's a pity that Cantori didn't get what he wanted with his last design. He didn't expect that Hayquis didn't break out when his work was contaminated.
But this time, it was indeed a chance encounter. Kantoli really didn't expect that he would meet Lin Li again in this secret merchant market. Although he wanted to use the power of the Octopus Clan to deal with Lin Li, he couldn't make things too obvious. He was worried about how to find Lin Li again, and this chance encounter really made him overjoyed.
So after seeing Lin Li. Contoli immediately pulled Haquis over. When he thought about it, the last time Haquis didn't settle the score with Lin Li, it could only be said that Lin Li ran too fast, and this time Haquis's anger should have a chance to explode.
However, Kantoli only focused on causing trouble for Lin Li. But he didn't notice that Haikos's face turned green behind him.
What Haikos fears most now is meeting Lin Li, as his father and elders' warnings seem to still ring in his ears. However, he couldn't lose his face. If he really wanted to curry favor with Lin Li, he could only hold on to the idea of procrastinating and trying to avoid encountering Lin Li as much as possible. However, based on the relationship between the two of them, Contoli wanted to go there, but Haquis was too embarrassed to say so, so he could only follow behind with a grimace.
"Oh, I heard that there is a secret merchant market here, so I came to take a look." Lin Li just glanced at Kantoli, then turned back to look at the things on the stall next to him, and said something indifferent.
In Cantoli's view, he was smart because he had never really broken up with Lin Li. Although each of them already knew the relationship between them, as long as they didn't really break up with each other, they wouldn't look like life-and-death enemies when they met. In this way, he could continue to get close to Lin Li, and then look for opportunities to set Lin Li up. Unlike Delano, who had been at loggerheads with Lin Li since the beginning, and now he didn't even dare to appear in front of Lin Li.
Although, for Lin Li, he did not deal with Kantoli, but he just did not take this person seriously. But this also shows that Contoli's strategy is still somewhat useful. If it were Delano who came to talk to Lin Li, he would be thrown as far away as possible.
Seeing that Lin Li ignored him, Kantoli felt secretly resentful in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He said with a bit of regret in his tone: "President Feyre, you probably don't know yet. The last time you spilled ink, you ruined a master-level magic pattern. It's a pity. If you had just given up, you might have made friends with Brother Haikos. That master-level magic pattern was a gift. It doesn’t matter if I give it to you.”
On the one hand, Contoli accused Lin Li of being a loser, and on the other hand, he told Lin Li that he had missed an opportunity to gain Haikos' friendship. Of course, he said this not because he felt sorry for Lin Li, but because he wanted to see Lin Li's remorseful expression. Although there was no way for him to start a war between the Kingdom of Jindu and the Tower of Twilight, or to truly trample Lin Li under his feet, he could at least feel quite happy if he could defeat his enemy in this way.
You know, in the Anriel world, if you exclude the Octopus clan, the number of inscription masters is very small, and the inscription masters are even rarer. Therefore, whether it is an individual or a force, the opportunity to get to know a true inscription master is very rare.
Kantoli had served as the special envoy of Qingfeng Plains and knew that the Tower of Dusk had only been established for a few years. And for such a newly established force, if it can have the help of an inscription master, it will be equivalent to saving more than ten years of struggle. If the other party knew that he had missed the opportunity to get to know an inscription master, he would not know how regretful he would be. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
However, after Contoli said this, Lin Li had not yet responded, but Haikos was blushing with embarrassment next to him. Yes, even the Octopus clan knows how to be ashamed. Haquis knew very well that the level of inscriptions of President Ferre was hard to come by even the Great Elder Haquis, and his own level was even more unworthy of carrying someone else's shoes.
It was said that the other party missed the opportunity to gain his friendship, but Hayquis still remembered the words of his father and elders, how much he hoped that his Octopus clan could gain the friendship of President Feyre!
However, on the one hand, Hayquis didn't want to embarrass his friend Contoli, and on the other hand, he really couldn't bear to say anything to Lin Li. Echo Cantori? Haikos is not that thick-skinned, but if he really lowers his profile to curry favor with Lin Li, he can't do it either.
Therefore, when Contoli was about to say something else, Haquis secretly pulled his good brother, hoping that he would stop saying anything that would make him blush.
Unfortunately, Contoli didn't know that the piece of ink that seemed to him to have no meaning actually shocked the Octopus clan, one of the seven overlords. When he felt himself being pulled, he thought that Haikos wanted to teach Na Feire a lesson, and this was exactly what he wanted.
