After playing with Evelea in the hotel for several days.

It wasn't because they held it in for too long in the hospital that the marrow tasted bad. The main reason was that both Evelea and Xu Yang lacked the concept of time.

It wasn't until the hotel was due that Xu Yang realized that if Xu Yang hadn't been very generous when he checked in, the hotel guard would have called the door.

After paying for the room for five days, Xu Yang took Evelea to the largest trading market in Gelfondo - Alma.

In the Keynesian Empire, there are many conditions required to be called a giant city, one of which is to have more than 10 million daily gold coins.

In a huge city with a population of over 10 million, there is naturally more than one trading market, and it is called the largest trading market. There is only one reason behind this, and that is that the largest holder of this market is Bauhinia, supported by the royal family who controls the empire. Florist Guild.

"Guest, this is a natural grade-A jade necklace from Jade Collar. The sky blue background is particularly suitable for the lady next to you. Buy one for her!"

"Let me see how much money a layman will give me today."

When Ifreya went out to imitate a cat-eared demi-human, she followed Xu Yang like a little sister, but the animal-eared demi-human was considered to be at the bottom of the bloodline despised chain in Cairns, and most of them were engaged in low-level jobs or were bought as maids.

The merchants were very sunny, and it was obvious at a glance that Ifreya belonged to the latter group.

And noble men like Xu Yang like to use beautiful stones to please little maids like this.

The wealthy Xu Yang did not disappoint the businessmen. He was doing it all for his own happy life. There was no need to save this expense. This expense could not be saved.

However, what disappointed the merchant was that Xu Yang picked the most genuine goods every time, but every time he gave him a price that made him feel pain and grit his teeth.

All kinds of jewelry and clothes, various styles and sizes are available, and Ifreya is willing to spend money as long as she likes Xu Yang.

After all, it is not a magic item, and the best texture and design will not cost more than five gold coins. Most of them cost a few silver coins.

As for Ifreya herself, she wasn't too interested in these, she just tasted all the snacks along the way.

The Shoggoth's stomach is Schrödinger's stomach.

Time always passed quickly, Xu Yang was shopping while shopping. The items, tools, and supplies that adventurers always prepared were all purchased according to the highest price, especially the supplementary medicines, which cost Xu Yang more than a thousand gold coins.

It was precisely because of the cost of more than a thousand gold coins that the owner of the pharmacy gave Xu Yang an invitation letter to the Alma Auction.

Of course, it is not an auction that happens once every ten years or a hundred years, because of the huge commodity circulation in Hjalma.

Such an auction will be held once a week, and magic items of slightly higher quality will be put up for auction.

As a regular event in another world, Xu Yang did not intend to miss this auction.

However, after a day of shopping, Xu Yang was still a little disappointed. He brought Efreya with him, but he didn't encounter a bully to tease him, nor did he compete for a certain product and pretend to be slapped in the face.

After all, the supply market in Yalma is too comprehensive. There is no such thing as a stall with only one special product. Things that are truly rare and only have one piece have to go to the auction house.

As for Ifreya, it's not that the beautiful girl she mimics is not beautiful enough, but that in addition to normal products, the slave market in Hjalma is also full of dazzling products. Even Xu Yang couldn't help but take Ifreya for a tour.

After all, as long as it is included in the database by Evelea, it is equivalent to Xu Yang buying it, and he can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins in one round.

"Don't be too naive, believers. These are just the glamorous aspects of this prosperous city."

Ariel is a rare person who can give Xu Yang a lot of insights like a person who has experienced it.

"As long as you observe carefully, you will find that many inferior products in the slave market have scars on their bodies, and their dim eyes do not look like living creatures at all.

Even gods would not take in such slaves because they could no longer provide faith. "

According to slave traders, the shelf life of low-quality slaves is about three months. If they cannot be sold, there are generally three ways out, either the mine, the custom shop, or the Colosseum.

Ariel was very disdainful of this, because no matter which way they went, most of these inferior products had the same fate, and would die for various reasons within a year.

"Being squeezed to death in the mines, being spoiled in the custom shop, or being fed as rations to the monsters in the Colosseum, for them, death is probably a kind of relief."

That's why they are called inferior products. Some slaves that have completely lost their vitality are actually no different from corpses and are sold as food. After all, for the Colosseum, cultivating ferocious monsters often requires frequent meals.

But what does this have to do with Xu Yang? Even if Xu Yang has the kindness to encompass the entire slave market, it will only stimulate the slave catching team and slave farm owners to work harder, let alone nothing.

Of course, Ariel clearly disagrees with this.

"Believer, you have to think about it carefully. Our territory is full of waste and is in need of all kinds of talents."

"And when we go out, we have to bring some cannon fodder, otherwise what will happen if we get hurt?"

Although slaves often cannot provide high-quality faith, or even provide no faith at all, our evil god has reached the end of his rope.

The evil god who was so sick that he sought medical attention told stories to induce Xu Yang to pity the slaves, just like a kind-hearted goddess of law.

But even the coquettishness of the gods has no effect on Xu Yang. After all, the qualifications of the slaves can be said to be of mixed quality.

The unevenness of his citizenship qualifications makes people's eyes sting just thinking about it.

Xu Yang has made up his mind that his subjects cannot have a qualification level below S.

Of course, a certain evil god doesn't know Xu Yang's plan yet. If he knows, he will probably drop the little pearl.

It's midnight in a blink of an eye.

The bustling market does not seem to fade with the setting of the sun. Crystal lamps and colorful neon lights make Alma a hundred times more beautiful than during the day, and the focus of the entire Alma naturally converges on the auction house in the middle. .

There is only one Bauhinia auction house in every major city. It is said that the weekly auction can account for 60% of the gold coins sold in the market that day.

Xu Yang put on the [pretender's mask] and walked through an alley, instantly turning into a half-elf. Evelea also followed suit and turned into a little human girl.

Before entering the auction house, you need to check the auction record number. In most cases, formal auction houses will not check the auction price midway, nor will they allow you to bid if you cannot afford to pay.

Legend has it that the wealth of a giant dragon can be comparable to that of a small kingdom. Xu Yang only needs to show the tip of the iceberg of financial resources to get the top box.

Ariel was very disdainful of this.

"Believer, the gold coins in my lair are ten times more than those in your ring, no, twenty times. From now on, they will all be yours. And I still have several semi-artifacts at home that I have not taken out. Wait for me After you regain your strength, I can give you one piece, no, two pieces!"

Generally speaking, gods don't have the habit of collecting gold coins, so Xu Yang didn't quite believe Ariel's words.

But the semi-artifact is probably real. After all, this guy didn't pause at all when he said he would give himself gold coins, but when he said the semi-artifact, it was like cutting off flesh.

"TaKeli-li?"

"Go, go, what kind of semi-artifact do you want from a slime? Just knock the enemy unconscious with your head."

"TaKeli-li!"

Ariel herself was sulking. The two ignorant guys didn't know the preciousness of semi-artifacts at all. She was not willing to take all the semi-artifacts in her collection when she went out to fight with a weak god.

Alas, I don’t know if any enemy has discovered my lair.

They must have been discovered. After all, all of his Spider Familia have been killed. If it weren't for the believers themselves, they would have completely perished.
