Chapter 677 Houdini Is on the Move

When the news of the "Mysterious Mage and Mage kicking the 'Path of Glory'" gradually spread in Duriel City, Houdini had already sold the "canned food" that Roddy brought on this trip at the pier with great efficiency. ".

Although the technical content of this thing is not high, if it is really faked, it will not take long for someone to figure out the principle, but currently in Laximan, this kind of technology that can be preserved for a long time is the only one. You know, not all ships have the freezing circle of the "Boratini". At present, 99% of the entire port are ordinary ships. Almost as I said...

Biscuits as hard as rocks, bread full of maggots, these people living at the bottom do not even have clean drinking water at sea, because the water in wooden barrels will soon turn green and give off a rancid smell, so They can only carry that weird-tasting ale all year round.

Ordinary fishing boats go out to sea for as few as three days or as long as ten days, while ships sailing in the open sea often only replenish once a month or two. Crew members who do not have fruits and vegetables as food often die of suffering from sepsis. If there are long-term storage on the market Technology, that is definitely a boon for them!

Of course, Houdini knows this better than anyone else, and it is for this reason that he specifically chose to set up stalls near the boats preparing to fish in the open sea. On the wharf with chaotic management, he can do anything with money, and Houdini has no intention For long-term sales, he just followed Roddy's arrangement and magically branded the words "Made in Karen Kingdom" on these cans, found a banner, wrote the characteristics and price of the cans, and then hired several The guy is selling it.

Several sailors in charge of the procurement were attracted by the banners and cries, and asked suspiciously for a long time. Seeing that these cans were beautifully packaged and the price was low, no matter whether they could be preserved or not, the price was enough to buy fruits and meat of the same weight, so They quickly made purchasing decisions.

There were nearly a hundred cans in total, and they were sold out within a few hours. Houdini deliberately controlled the quantity, allowing the sales scope to cover ships of all levels as much as possible, and then closed the stalls and left. Anyway, this thing doesn't look good right now, everything has to wait for these fishing boats to return before word of mouth can be spread.

Houdini, who was busy in the afternoon, didn't feel tired. He took a shower, took a wooden box after a simple dinner, called a carriage, and went straight to the "Balafar" in the center of Duriel City. neighborhood".

This neighborhood can be said to be a "sacred place" where the entire Master Rahiman visits once. It is no more than 400 meters long, and it is located in front of the "Collen Mill" magic tower. Standing in the middle of the street and looking north, you can directly see the huge main entrance of the "Colum Mill" magic tower. Here are the most comprehensive suppliers of all kinds of magic materials in the country, and the quality is guaranteed to be the best.

There will be a relatively complete store of magic props and supplies outside most magic towers, just like "Crown of Ice" Kron's magic tower, there are only three magic shops outside, and the materials sold overlap with each other. But in the "Balafar neighborhood",

But you can see "specialty stores" that sell scroll materials, puppet raw materials, magic circle stones, various magic crystals, and so on.

The things here have nothing to do with "cheapness", so mages with poor family backgrounds can only enjoy their eyes when they come. There is no upper limit to "expensive", because many of them are priceless orphans and most of the most precious ones will be regularly auctioned in the ornately decorated "Nogfogg Auction House" in the middle of the street.

Houdini's destination was here. He got out of the carriage and walked directly into the auction house with the box in his arms. Because of the "magister" emblem on his chest, the guards at the door did not stop him. The waiter Chris who greeted her was an exquisite beauty in every possible way. Not only was she in good shape and temperament, but she was also able to call Lashman's magisters one by one.

"Nogfogg Auction House" has a profound background, so even though she knew that Houdini had a bad reputation recently, she did not have a vicious voice like the recipient of the "Dark Blue" journal. Entered the VIP room on the first floor.

"Two things, the best that can be auctioned in the near future."

Houdini didn't have any nonsense, he directly opened the box in his hand, and Chris only glanced at it, and said respectfully: "This... Houdini, the magister, please wait a moment, I will invite Lord Broy to come and meet you Negotiate in person, and I hope you will move upstairs."

The interior of the auction house is also divided into three, six, and nine levels. The higher the four floors, the more prestigious the status. Houdini just lit the things in the box, and was invited to the second floor. He knew it was because of the things he wanted to auction. , There is an eight-kilogram "cobalt-gold mine".

"Cobalt gold mine" is a strategic resource in Rahiman, in other words, it is something controlled by the state, and it is basically not available in the market. And once someone buys and sells it privately, it will often attract the attention of the "law enforcement team" because the council needs to confirm the origin and use of this thing, and strictly control the identity of its buyer.

So the auction is not impossible, but this thing involves a lot, and if it is not done well, it will easily cause trouble. Strictly speaking, "Nogforge Auction House" is basically the only place where Rahiman is qualified to auction "Cobalt Gold Mine", so the latter matter was quickly received by a supervisor, and Houdini was familiar with it. Filled out a lengthy and detailed form.

However, when he saw Houdini's subsequent content, he still couldn't hold back, and asked aloud: "Are you sure you want to auction anonymously? If you want to auction 'Cobalt Gold Mine' anonymously, you should have heard of it...' Nogfogg Auction House will charge 20% more as a handling fee."

The original handling fee is 10%. For ordinary auctions, "Anonymous Auction" usually does not require additional fees, but "Cobalt Gold Mine" is definitely an exception. This is similar to someone going to an auction house to sell tactical nuclear bombs in modern society. How many people Dare to carry it?

"No problem."

Houdini cherished words like gold. He didn't care how much he charged. The purpose of the auction is not to make money. 8 kilograms of cobalt and gold mines are indeed big news in Rahiman, but compared with the one ton of cobalt and gold mines left in the backyard, Houdini has full confidence in telling them what it means to be too young and too naive .

After completing a series of procedures, Director Broy planned to send Houdini to the door to leave, but he stood up, but Houdini did not get up. The magister calmly took out the other four charged magic crystals from the box: "This is the second item I want to auction."

"Uh...Master Houdini, although the 'Nogfogg Auction House' also auctions magic crystals, the minimum is high-grade goods of 'flawless' quality, you..."

Director Broy glanced at the small rechargeable spar, and continued: "For this kind of mid-level magic crystal, we can contact other auction houses for you to auction it on behalf of you. What do you think?"

Naturally, he would not utter words of rejection. With 8 kilograms of cobalt-gold mine in front, who knows if Houdini will come up with anything good in the future? So Director Broy is going to sell face, and he can solve it by himself.

"Is there a spar analyzer?"

Houdini ignored his suggestion, but instead asked this sentence. The latter was taken aback, and immediately took down a metal instrument inlaid with a magic circle from the shelf next to it. This is an instrument used by Master Laximan to measure the properties of magic crystals. After activation, the tested magic crystals will be displayed in the " There are unique patterns on the "display board", and the mages use the patterns to classify the magic crystals. If you want to find similar magic crystals, try to choose the one with the closest pattern.

But magic crystals are the same as snowflakes, there will never be two identical pieces, which is the consensus of all mages.

Houdini was very familiar with this instrument, and soon started to test the first spar, and used a piece of paper that he carried with him to make rubbings with magic power. Director Broy didn't understand why he did this, but just watched him pick up the remaining spars and repeated the previous operation in a strange way.

"Master Houdini, you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Houdini stacking the four rubbings just now, and then using a "lighting technique" to illuminate it thoroughly from below.

The four overlapping patterns without any difference stopped Broy's words abruptly. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned for ten seconds before he came back to his senses.

"Master Houdini, please go upstairs and take a step to speak."

This time, Houdini was directly invited to the highest level of the "Nogforge Auction House". A stack of agreements and another request for an "anonymous auction".

When leaving, Houdini did not leave through the main entrance. Instead, he walked along a secret passage dedicated to the auction house to a nearby tavern, boarded a closed carriage from the tavern's stables, and walked around in a low-key manner. After a long circle, he returned to his residence.

From this point of view, the fact that "Nogforge Auction House" was able to gain a foothold in front of the Colummir Demon Tower is by no means in vain.

The entire Rahiman may not be able to pick out a hundred people who can sign the auction agreement on the top floor of this auction house. But Houdini doesn't feel honored or excited at all now. I don't know when he has completely escaped from the previous way of thinking, and now he has a kind of "out of the game" relaxed and calm.

There was no one to clean the dilapidated courtyard, and he was not interested in taking care of it. After the routine meditation, Houdini fell asleep without worrying about anything else, and fell asleep peacefully.

the next day. Get up, wash up, go out and eat breakfast in the cafeteria of the college students, ignoring the contemptuous eyes of the teachers and students, Houdini hired a carriage and two porters, and began to visit the various colleges in Duriel city one by one Several "Magic Grocery Stores" inside.

This time, what he pulled was the "paper" produced by Efta.
