Ding, Ding, Ding
The bell on the front desk rang immediately with the touch of Yeqi''s finger; In this crisp sound, behind the front desk, close to the door of a cabinet, a middle-aged man in pajamas came out with sleepy eyes——
"Good evening, sir!"
After greeting, the middle-aged man, who was obviously the hotel owner, rubbed his eyes, took out the register in the desk drawer at the front desk, looked through it and said: "You''re lucky. We still have two vacant rooms; one has an independent bathroom and can see the scenery on the street outside; however, the price is a little more expensive than other rooms and costs 80 yuan; while the other is a whole bedroom. If you wash, you need to go to the public bathroom; of course, it also has a good view outside the window, so you also need to go to the public bathroom Fifty dollars! "
"Which room are you going to choose?"
Looking at Yeqi in front of him, the owner of the hotel smiled with a standard businessman''s smile. In addition, with his sleepy eyes before, anyone would think that he was an ordinary hotel businessman - however, Yeqi keenly noticed that the other party''s muscles were tense at the moment of opening the door, which was a model that could make a sudden attack or retreat at any time It was only after seeing him that he returned to his normal appearance.
Moreover, looking at the other party''s walking posture, ye Qi can be sure that there must be a dagger or pistol behind the other party''s waist, and the other party inadvertently reveals a calloused palm when reading the register. Undoubtedly, the former is much more likely. Coupled with thick fingers, it is obvious that the other party is also very good at unarmed fighting.
Such observation is only Ye Qi''s instinctive reaction as a demon hunter, and will not change because he knows it in advance. It is like practicing skills. Even the most skilled skills will still be unfamiliar if they are not practiced for a long time, and the observation of the demon hunter is the same. Only continuous observation can keep them in an instinctive state State, and will not be forgotten.
"The one with a separate bathroom!"
Ye Qi took out a 100 yuan note and handed it to the boss. Then, at the moment the boss took the note, he quickly made a gesture with his hand holding the coin. From the perspective of the hotel boss, he saw the gesture clearly, and his eyes flashed past. However, the surface was silent and took off a bunch of keys hanging on the wall next to him , the whole person also walked out of the front desk and said, "Sir, you come with me. Your room is on the second floor!"
The staircase leading to the second floor is located in the middle of the first floor of the whole hotel. After about three rooms, Yeqi followed the hotel owner to the second floor. After the other party opened the door, he entered the second room on the right——
"Do you need supper? Potatoes, beef, fried chicken, and some bread baked in the evening. Only ten!"
It''s like the boss who sold the leftover food in the hotel last night said with a smile; but he kept gesturing in his hand - the gesture between the chameleon and his subordinates is not just a single party to show it; it still needs two confirmations from both sides to really confirm his identity; at this time, the gesture is that the hotel owner starts to confirm Ye Qi''s identity.
"All right!"
Ye Qi, who pretended to be thinking, replied after responding to the other party''s gesture.
"Please wait a moment and I''ll bring it to you right away!"
The hotel owner made a gesture of confirmation for the last time.
"OK!"
Yeqi immediately gave a response; after this response, the hotel owner immediately restrained the last bit of defense. He bowed respectfully to Yeqi, and his low voice was full of respect: "Sir, I''m willing to serve you!"
Once, the female leader of the chameleon in Qianzhao district took it as a warning. He was not surprised. Instead, he handed the secret letter he had written long ago to the hotel in front of him. The latter nodded with understanding, turned and walked out - not asking about his boss has almost become the default rule of the chameleon''s men; what they have to do is to run the old hotel well What the board ordered.
About fifteen minutes later, the hotel owner with the plate knocked on the door again; then he put the plate with food on the tea table in the room, indicating that he would get the plate back tomorrow morning. After that, the hotel owner made a gesture that everything was done. With Yeqi''s slight nod, he turned and left the room, and helped Yeqi to take the door well - in Northland At the family dinner party, ye Qi, who had eaten enough food, did not move the food in the plate. He just locked the door back and began to recover his original face. After loading some unnecessary items belonging to "finger" back into the [dimensional bag], ye Qi took out a cloak he had prepared since he had two dimensional bags and had more room to carry.
Boom!
Holding a corner of his cloak in both hands, his arms shook hard, and immediately there was a unique friction sound between cloth brocade and air; then, his wrist turned, and the black cloak was draped over Ye Qi''s shoulder; after taking his hat pocket with him, ye Qi stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully checked it for a long time, and immediately walked out of the bathroom after confirming that he would not be seen.
Without leaving immediately, Yeqi took out the mild injury healing potion he had bought before, and then took out a relic of the wizard emperor of the same level; After several serious comparisons, ye Qi put everything away with a smile and went to the window next to the big bed of the bedroom. He pulled up the L-shaped bolt and pushed open one of the windows. The whole person turned into a dark shadow, jumped out and disappeared quietly into the night.
……
When Yeqi appeared outside the Northland family manor again, the flow of people in the wizard secret city did not decrease with the dawn. On the contrary, the number was much higher than when Yeqi left before; Even, in some places, there were crowding.
Of course, such a situation will not happen for no reason——
"This is a long one handed sword mixed with the powder once belonging to the fairy diamond. It not only has the characteristics of being sharp and unparalleled, but also has the blessing of 30 times of flame and strong wind! Therefore, any good swordsman should not miss such a weapon. It will be the most loyal partner in your future life!"
A middle-aged wizard held a standard long sword and demonstrated to the people around him that what he said was true - an ordinary one handed long sword was raised by him, and then the two long swords immediately exchanged blows with each other under the action of his two hands.
Qiang!
Immediately, the ordinary long sword was divided into two, but the long sword with magic was not damaged at all; In the exclamation of the crowd, the middle-aged wizard didn''t stop at all. A wooden stake became his next object to cover up - with a cry, the flame wrapped the long sword. The rolled up heat wave made the people in the inner circle step back involuntarily, and then all looked at the wooden stake that was about to be split without blinking.
Click!
Everyone can see clearly that when the long sword is at least five centimeters away from the stake, the stake is divided into two, and then the two halves of the stake ignite a fierce flame in an instant. After a few breaths, there is only a pool of ashes on the ground to prove the existence of the stake here.
"Twenty five standard low magic crystals!"
The demonstration of middle-aged wizards made people around very excited, but many people were discouraged in the face of such a price. After all, most of the dark mercenaries and demon hunters, and even the people of the supreme government, are very common; They may have had such money, but they are most unlikely to have it all the time - with Kimpton, the demon hunters will drink, taste a delicious meal to reward themselves, or simply find something to relax, as are the dark mercenaries and the people of the supreme government with special status.
However, not having enough money doesn''t mean that these people will leave. They still stand where they are and watch the people who can really afford the price appear - even if they can''t own it, they can see who owns it and watch the excitement with such a simple embrace; And, when they meet later, they naturally have a better chance of winning. There are not a few people who have a slightly deeper idea; In particular, the latter is the real reason why those who stay here do not leave; After all, peace at the moment is just a special situation of the secret city of wizards. Their real relationship can still be hostile!
Such hostility naturally makes them want to find out whether the person who gets a powerful weapon is the enemy——
"Twenty five low standard magic crystals, I''ll take them!"
After a little silence around, a man in uniform of the supreme government said directly; It''s not very difficult to distinguish which power you belong to in the crowd; Just as the devil hunter''s apostles have the Apostle''s windbreaker, the ordinary devil hunter''s habitual hunting clothes, the highest government''s is mainly military and police uniforms, while the Holy See''s is the robe of priests and deacons; The remaining various costumes are undoubtedly the people of other forces in the dark world. In addition to most of the dark mercenaries, there are many businessmen engaged in special businesses.
As long as there are people, there will be business. Even a special group of people will have businessmen willing to take risks to earn enough Kimpton for themselves; There are many such people in such a large special market as the wizard secret market; After the person from the supreme government had just quoted the price, a man who looked like a businessman in his clothes made an offer with a businessman''s unique smile.
"Twenty six dollars!"
According to the rules of the secret market of wizards, when competing for the same item, it is not by force, but the one with the highest price; This is good news for pure businessmen; So that they can put down their last scruples and deal with the things in front of them with their own good means - force is a double-edged sword for businessmen, who can use and scruple; Of course, the proportion of the two will change with the change of the situation, and at the moment, there is no such concern in the wizard secret city.
"Twenty seven dollars!"
"Twenty eight dollars!"
Because of the secret market rules of witches, the businessman ignored the glare of the person from the supreme government. After the other party quoted a price, he immediately began to increase the price - looking at the other party''s anxious performance, Yeqi guessed that the other party didn''t have much money, but wanted the sword very much.
Maybe this is his last fund, not necessarily!
Ye Qi, who stopped for a moment to look at this scene, thought this way - the reason why the wizard secret market attracts so many people is not only its safety, but also the exquisite products that appear from time to time; Of course, this so-called boutique does not mean the existence that is obviously the finale in the hall of the Northrend family at the moment; Instead, he pointed to special objects that appeared from time to time on these ordinary stalls.
There are times when everyone is lucky or has a flash of inspiration, and such a time is the time for the emergence of high-quality products - they may be a little worse than the items specially used as the finale in the wizard secret market, but they will never be too bad, enough to attract people''s attention; More importantly, they are placed in ordinary stalls so that people can reach them.
Yeqi will not believe that anyone can enter and exit the hall where the final items of the wizard secret market are placed at will - people are keen on power and reputation precisely because power and reputation will bring considerable status, and this status will give people all kinds of privileges, right?
Of course, such so-called high-quality products will not appear at will. As the bottom card of each stall owner, they will always be played at the critical moment; For example: soliciting originally bad business; Or when there are so many people that they can attract a lot of attention, it''s like now.
Glancing at the few items left on the table behind the middle-aged wizard, it was obvious that the other party intended to end the sale of the wizard secret market early - this phenomenon is not uncommon in the wizard secret market; It''s like the wizard Ye Qi first saw who had a lot of research on magic drugs and exploded his crucible. When he left, the other party was already cleaning up the sold out booth; However, such stalls will not be empty. Some wizards waiting in line will settle in these stalls, and some dark mercenaries who did not grab stalls in special areas will also spend some Kimpton to rent these stalls.
As ye Qi guessed, a member of the special operation of the supreme government kept silent after the businessman raised the price again; However, the merchant was not complacent for long, but was interrupted by a voice; A man dressed like Yeqi and covered in a cloak.
"Thirty dollars!"
"Thirty one dollars!"
The merchant, whose face changed, followed the offer again; However, like the secret service member of the supreme government who was forced back by him, he is also a little nervous at the moment; Obviously, compared with his former rivals, the same businessman has very limited capital.
"Thirty five dollars!"
The man shrouded in the cloak offered again, and this offer obviously exceeded the merchant''s bottom line; He shook his head in distress, and the merchant retreated into the crowd; Obviously, such a price is enough to make the people present willingly give up the good sword - after all, there may be better things in the wizard secret market in almost two weeks. They don''t have to worry.
Therefore, when the people around saw that the last buyer had paid the corresponding magic crystal and got the long sword, they scattered one after another and looked at other places; The middle-aged wizard, as the stall owner, also adjusted the price of the remaining items down, and then sat back in his position.
As for the successful buyer, he mingled with the crowd early and went to other places - however, after everyone left, the merchant who asked for a price turned back again. Although he changed his clothes, the same fluctuation could not be concealed from Yeqi; Yeqi clearly saw the middle-aged wizard''s smile, greeted the merchant, and handed over a small cloth bag.
According to the fluctuation of [blind fight perception], there are at least three standard units of low magic crystals.
Then the two sides talked eagerly. After a few words, the businessman left again - and ye Qi, who took everything into his eyes, shrugged with a smile; Such an approach may be inappropriate, but Yeqi has no sense of justice to expose it; After all, this is the way each other lives.
What''s more, the magic sword won''t let the buyer lose too much - of course, Yeqi doesn''t believe in the saying of fairy diamond powder. It should be another kind of magic blessing similar to "sharpness"; The blessings of the three magical powers, although the latter two do not maximize their effectiveness, are also good; It may be a little different from the lower magic crystal of 35 standard units, but if it is halved, it still has some value.
Maybe if you can save yourself with this sword, it will far exceed the value at the moment.
With this idea, Yeqi went straight to the side hall of the Northrend family - just a little closer, and [blind fight perception] sensed the fluctuation of the bishop who belongs to the leader of the holy see in the main hall. Obviously, it is not appropriate to enter directly.
"Outsiders, stop!"
Even if it was just a side hall, there were still guards of the Northrend family.
"Is master Fletcher there?"
As he spoke, Yeqi slightly opened his hat pocket and only showed half his face to the guard; Although there is still a general face in the shade, no one in the Northrend family will forget the owner of this face and what the owner told them to do when they saw each other; Now the two guards will bow.
"I just want to see Master Fletcher. Please keep quiet!"
"Yes, sir! Please wait a moment!"
After one of the guards motioned to the other, the latter immediately ran to the main hall on one side, while the remaining guard made a please gesture to Yeqi towards the side hall.
