Chapter 29 Underground Auction

A rhythmic knock came from above the secret room, which was a signal that Nino and Arthur and others had made an appointment in advance.

Arthur opened the door of the secret room from inside, and Nino did not come in. "There was a young man in the store in front and said it was your friend. I have observed that he came alone."

Nino had already known the sensitive identities of Arthur and Joan and was very cautious in doing things.

"It should be McGinn. Joan only told him the story of our stay with you. He must have something to do when he came here on his own initiative."

"Did I take him to the backyard, or do you guys go out?"

"No, you ask him to go to the second floor of Xiaoyaoju in front to open a private room and wait for us, and we will arrive later."

It’s not that Arthur didn’t believe McGin. Since Aretha exposed her identity in Junxiao Tower, Arthur has been more careful. He is just worried that McGin will be followed. If both parties meet here, even Nino will be involved.

McGinn waited for nearly half an hour before Arthur and Joan entered Xiaoyaoju through the back door, while Aretha was monitoring outside but she didn't come in at all.

"You two are too careful, aren't you?" McGinn began to complain as soon as she saw them entering the private room.

Arthur sighed before speaking, "There are too many people who offended them, and they are all big forces. We must be careful!"

"Isn't it just the Emperor and the Church of Light? The church doesn't care about you now. Their energy is all on those aliens." McGinn is a disciple of this.

"In the past, the Empress and the Light Church, but now there are more Yunxiao Trading Company and the City Guards. The major forces in the imperial capital are eager to kill us!"

"Why are you getting into the city guards again? Now the city guards are patrolling the streets, and it's not easy to be targeted by them."

"Actually, it's nothing. Arthur won more than 80,000 gold coins in Junxiao Tower." Qiong continued.

"Ah? It's so satisfying! I've long been disgusted with that bastard Lor. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time!" McKin couldn't help laughing.

Joan hurried forward and covered his mouth, "Are you afraid that others won't hear it?"

Arthur interrupted the two, "Talk the matter seriously, what's the matter with us? Have those equipment been done?"

"How could it be so fast? That's a thousand pieces of enchanting equipment! The amount you want is large and it can't attract attention. We are shopping through multiple channels such as black market, weapon shop, grocery shop, etc. Even if we have purchased it in a diversified manner, the price of level 3 and fourth enchanting equipment in the black market of the imperial capital has increased a lot."

"In addition to these low-level enchanting equipment, we also have some enchanting equipment at level 5 and level 6. The quantity does not require a lot, but we must have high-quality products, and money is not a problem."

Arthur suddenly thought that there were a large number of high-level war lieutenants and several mercenary commanders of the Blue Evil Cavalry Regiment. These people fought hard with Arthur, so Arthur would not be stingy in money.

"How rich are you now?" McKinn looked at Arthur in disbelief.

You should know that the price of enchanting equipment increases in a geometric multiple of each level. The average price of a third-level enchanting equipment is only 50 gold coins, and it increases to 200 gold coins when it reaches level 4. The worst level 6 enchanting equipment also costs more than 3,000 gold coins. Like the pair of magical earth dragon skin battle boots under Arthur's feet, he even won 30,000 gold coins, which is almost up to the price of an excellent equipment.

Arthur laughed and said, "My Blue Ape Mercenary Group still has a net worth of 1.8 million gold coins."

"Since you are so rich, there is almost a door for that matter."

"What's the matter?" Qiong asked afterwards.

"Of course it's the matter that you want to buy space and equipment."

"Have you found the source?"

"I can only say that I have some clues. If you are rich enough, it will be no big problem."

"What does it mean?" Qiong was a little puzzled.

"Space equipment has always been priceless but not marketable. Every item on the market will definitely attract countless people to compete for it. In the end, the one with the highest price will definitely win."

"Which auction house has space equipment in the items?" Arthur immediately reacted.

McKin pointed to his nose proudly.

"You said your family? It would be strange if you have an auction house?" Qiong laughed at all without believing it.

McKin responded unconvincedly: "I didn't say that our family has an auction house. I mean that this 'Ghost City Qizhen' auction was organized by our Clay family."

"What kind of ghost market auction?" Arthur was completely confused.

Jon explained to McKin, "The underground black market in the imperial capital is basically controlled by three forces. The McKin and the Clay family are the largest. Some things that flow into the black market are very expensive, and it is difficult to deal with daily underground transactions. So the forces controlling the black market will organize a batch of valuable things every once in a while, and invite big buyers in need to organize an underground auction."

McKin further explained: "At the beginning, the three underground forces played their own games, but there were conflicts in the competition for customers. Later, the three companies sat down to negotiate. Without special circumstances, the underground auctions in the imperial capital were only held three times a year, and each company took the lead in organizing them. Three days later, the underground auction was the first auction organized by our Kree family this year."

"You mean there is space equipment in the lots sold at this underground auction?" This is what Arthur really pays attention to.

"Although the three families do not use force directly, they have never stopped fighting openly and secretly. In addition to underground auctions, each family will try its best to get some precious and expensive items, thus surpassing the other two. I tried to take a peek at the finale that our family prepared, which was a space bracelet that the widow of Marquis Gary planned to take on."

"Widow of the Marquis? Marquis Gary is dead?" Qiong knew about Marquis Gary, and said that the Marquis was still related to the imperial family.

"Don't you know yet? The Arakawa ambush war more than two months ago suffered heavy losses, and several powerful generals died in battle, including Marquis Gary." McKin explained.

"How could the Marquis' family be willing to sell such a valuable thing?"

"The situation in Marquis Gary's family is a bit special. Although the Marquis is a powerful war general, his two sons are useless in cultivation, and none of them have reached the strength of the war school. Marquis Gary was angry and drove them out early to establish a family. The Marquis' current widow is the concubine he later married, and gave birth to another son for the Marquis. Now he is less than five years old. As soon as the Marquis died, his two sons who were driven out came back to compete with the concubine for inheritance. This space bracelet was secretly sold by the concubine with the two sons on her back. It is probably because she wanted to get a lot of money to go away."

There are various shameful reasons behind the things flowing into the black market, and this space bracelet is at least not hot.
