Chapter 25 Oakenley
Horgan City, City Square.
Horgan City’s annual trading day is held in the city square in the middle of the Awakening month.
The specific time is from the 14th to the 16th of the Awakening month, a total of three days.
Today is the first day of the trading day.
After leaving Pierre's Grocery Store, Gothe immediately came here with all his wealth.
The city square occupies a large area. It is a wide green brick square that is already crowded with people.
Some of these people are commoners, some are small traders, some are children of down-and-out families, and some are servants of noble lords.
Now, these people with different identities, like traders, have set up small stalls around the city square.
The things for sale were all kinds of strange, and they had everything for sale. Gothe even saw someone selling a few strange-shaped stones picked up from the river.
In front of these various stalls, one or two people would come up from time to time to take a look or ask a few questions, but there were still very few people who could make a deal on the spot.
Seeing this situation, Gothe couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He came here for only one purpose: to pick up missing treasures!
If you want to improve your own strength, in addition to strengthening yourself, using foreign objects is also a method.
However, Gaode's current savings do not support him to purchase foreign objects that can strengthen his own strength from formal channels, and he can only take a chance to find something missing.
Of course, in a small place like Hogan City, without certain channels and influence, there is a high probability that even if you have money, you won’t be able to buy any magical artifacts.
Unlike big cities, in Hogan City, magic alchemy creations are absolutely rare items!
Gaode thought like this in his heart, and without stopping, he reached the middle of the square.
It was already a little dark at this time, but there were magic crystal lanterns set up in the square, which were already on and brightly lit.
Furthermore, with the lighting of the magic crystal lantern, the number of people in the square began to increase, and even the number of people setting up stalls increased a little. They should be "employees" who had just "get off work" in the city.
Like others, Gothe walked slowly along the square, looking at each stall one by one, trying to find some good treasures.
Among so many people in the square, he was definitely not the first one to have this idea, nor was he the only one.
It’s just obvious that such things as picking up leaks do exist, and there are definitely stories of a small person receiving a great item at a street stall and making a fortune.
But the premise is that you have enough luck and vision. Most people usually get nothing.
Gande, however, did not have such luck.
He visited many stalls and still didn't see any "suspicious" items. They were mostly daily necessities such as clay pots and iron swords.
Until a stall surrounded by dozens of people at the same time attracted him.
After walking around for so long, this is the first time Gaode has seen such a lively stall.
What good things are you selling?
Gaode couldn't help but come over.
The owner of the stall is a young man, wearing a robe that is slightly worn but can still be seen to be made of fine materials, but the originally complex and exquisite patterns on the robe have been worn away and blurred.
There is a high probability that he is a child of a small family whose family is in decline.
Gaode made a judgment immediately, and then glanced at the goods placed on the stall in front of the young man.
Some fine handmade hangings, a few old books and some shabby small objects with traces of time.
The reason why everyone gathered around was because someone took a fancy to one of the strange rusty copper objects that looked like ivory.
"10 gold coins, one less will not be sold!" the young stall owner said loudly.
He picked up the ivory-like copper object, pointed to the mark in the upper right corner and said, "Did you see this mark? This is the mark of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce!"
Gothe had never heard of the so-called Oakenley Chamber of Commerce, but he still looked at the mark subconsciously.
That is a six-pointed star, and in the middle of the six-pointed star is a mysterious pictographic symbol.
It's just like the pattern on the young stall owner's robe. Due to the wear and tear of time, it has been blurred and the specific appearance cannot be clearly seen.
“Do you know the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce? It is the most famous magic alchemy creation chamber in the continent. Their magic alchemy products sell well all over the continent. The supply exceeds the demand. Without certain connections, you can’t even buy them with money!”
The young stall owner continued to boast: "Since my baby has this mark, it is enough to prove that it is a magic alchemy creation of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce."
The young stall owner's plausibly "magic alchemy creation" attracted more people's attention.
Mage is synonymous with power. Things related to magic are undoubtedly absolute treasures. They are mysterious and powerful. How can we not make people look at them?
The person who took a fancy to this copper object was a middle-aged fat man.
He was not fooled by the young stall owner's words, and slowly interrupted the young man's boasting: "First of all, the mark is blurred. With the current appearance, there is no way to prove that this must be the mark of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce."
"Secondly, even if it is the mark of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce, it cannot prove anything." Remember the black-hearted businessman, the possibility of a product from Oakenley Chamber of Commerce appearing in a place like Hogan City is not high. Anyway, I don’t believe it.”
“Finally,” the middle-aged fat man curled his lips and said, “This thing cannot be called a magic alchemy creation. It obviously does not have any magic power fluctuations. Either it is damaged and the magic power is lost, or it is not a magic item itself.”
The young stall owner was not embarrassed because his cowhide was punctured by the middle-aged fat man. He still said plausibly: "It just lost its magic power, but it is an amazing magic item in itself."
"If it wasn't for emergency, I wouldn't sell it!"
The middle-aged man was obviously a knowledgeable person, pointing to the mark on the copper object and said: "Boy, don't think I don't understand, I see this The signs of wear and tear have probably been damaged for ten or twenty years. It’s hard to say whether it can be repaired. "
"Even if it can be repaired, the repair cost for this level of wear and tear will definitely be high. It’s still unclear how much strength it can regain after repairing."
"I collected it at a high price, and even traveled thousands of miles to the big city to find skilled repair craftsmen, and gambled on a perfect repair. You think I was taken advantage of."
"If there is such a cheap good thing, why don't you do it yourself?" the fat man said with a smile, his tone seemed to be sarcastic.
The people around him laughed happily.
The young stall owner blushed, "How much do you think you can offer?"
"Two Xian gold coins." The fat man held out two fingers.
"How is it possible? This material alone is worth two Sean gold coins!" The young stall owner was obviously not convinced.
"That was when it was first made. Now it's worn out, so the materials are naturally worthless." The fat man was telling the truth.
"If you don't want to sell, don't sell. If you want to take advantage and go to other places, I don't welcome you here!"
The young stall owner was first squeezed by the fat man, and now he was brutally slashed at the price. In addition, he felt unsatisfied, so he simply got angry and started driving away customers.
The fat man shook his head and left with a smile.
As soon as the excitement subsided, the people gathered around gradually dispersed.
To be honest, the things on the stalls of young stall owners are not very attractive.
There is no excitement to see, so naturally everyone has no interest in staying any longer.
