"Make an offer, or do you want to say you don't want to sell?"
"Sell, sell, sell! Of course I sold it." When Manager Bai heard what Xiao Ming said, he quickly responded with a smile: "The price of this residual picture of strange fire is not high, it only costs a mere 100,000 gold coins."
A mere one hundred thousand gold coins! ?
Are you used to being a bandit and robbing money?
When Xiao Ming heard this, he was speechless and thought, let's see if this price is what he wants to sell it for.
Even if the previous map of the Black Territory and Great Plains had a clearly marked price, the one you just took out of the Najie shouldn't also have a clearly marked price.
Even if this residual picture was real, it wasn't worth the price. He didn't want to be taken advantage of now.
"Same as the Black Territory Great Plains map, four thousand gold coins."
"Sir, your price is a bit low." Seeing Xiao Ming's counteroffer, Manager Bai looked embarrassed.
"Hmph, you know how incomplete your map is. This incomplete map is not worth a hundred thousand gold coins, and I don't have that many gold coins."
Xiao Ming said, of course he is rich, but he will not be so stupid as to reveal his family background.
He continued: "What's more, you all know what the Netherworld Poison Fire does, right? If this drawing were not real, and it also records the location of a precious poisonous weed, it wouldn't even be worth a thousand gold coins!"
It's not worth buying it.
Manager Bai muttered in his heart, but did not say this out loud.
After all, it's rare for someone to take advantage of you and want to buy this map. It's not good to lose popularity.
Therefore, Guanshi Bai just smiled bitterly and said: "The price you set is really too low. I can't do so much. How about 90,000 gold coins?"
"Ten thousand at most."
"Eighty-eight thousand."
"Just in case..."
"..."
After some bargaining, Xiao Ming finally bought the map for 24,000 gold coins.
After the transaction was completed, both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.
After taking out his Zijin Card to pay the bill, Xiao Ming hurriedly left the cartography pavilion.
Standing in the hall, Steward Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ming who had disappeared from sight. The kind smile on his face slowly disappeared and was replaced by an extremely indifferent look.
"Guanshi Bai, the residual picture was sold for only 24,000 gold coins. When the master of the pavilion finds out, won't he blame you?"
The cautious voice of the female shopping guide sounded in the hall. Manager Bai turned his head and glanced at her, and said calmly:
"It doesn't matter. Although the original map was sold to the black-robed fighting master, the technology that our Cartography Pavilion is most proud of is cartography. We already have a backup of the residual map."
"Haha, the remnant picture of the strange fire has not been sold for so long. In fact, we made a profit from selling it for one thousand gold coins. The master of the pavilion will not blame it."
Speaking of the latter, Guanshi Bai felt doubtful in his heart.
Having said that, it's a bit strange that this map can be sold. Could it be that this person learned a secret on the map that our cartographic pavilion couldn't see?
Thinking this, Guanshi Bai shook his head decisively, denying his idea.
No, absolutely impossible. That map had been looked over and over by their cartography pavilion a long time ago. It was indeed just an ordinary map. At most, it was a little older and there was nothing strange about it at all.
Maybe he really just bought this map for another purpose.
"Then should we find someone to follow him? This great fighting master seems to have a lot of money."
"No need, this person may be richer than ordinary great fighting masters, but he is not that rich. Didn't you see that the person just now had only more than 20,000 gold coins left on his purple gold card? Although it is still considerable, but The Pavilion Master is not around now, so it would be quite troublesome for a great fighting master to cause trouble, and even those with low strength will not be able to keep up with him."
"However, if he comes again next time and the Pavilion Master is there, we can consider it."
"I understand." The female shopping guide nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, you did a good job this time, and your monthly salary will be increased by 10% at the end of the month." Manager Bai suddenly said after taking a look at the scantily clad female shopping guide.
The female shopping guide was overjoyed when she heard this. Isn't that why she stopped Xiao Ming just now? She thanked her profusely.
"Thank you, steward. Thank you, steward." She stopped after Steward Bai disappeared. After taking a breath, she continued to wait for the guests in the lobby.
…
After leaving the Cartography Pavilion, Xiao Ming first put away the remaining pictures of the strange fire, and then walked around Black Seal City for an hour.
During this period, I spent some gold coins to buy some information I wanted, and learned some information about the powerful people who came to Black Seal City to participate in the auction this time.
Finally, after making sure that he was not being targeted, he randomly found an inn to stay.
The next day, early morning.
Not far from Black Seal City, clear dew hangs on the tips of green leaves, and white mist lingers among the trees.
A black shadow suddenly flashed across a dense forest, looking through the gaps in the branches into the distance, where the dense forest gradually became sparse, and finally bordered on a dark plain.
The endless plain, as far as the eye can see, is all monotonous black, set against the slightly dim sky, and a depressing and irritating atmosphere lingers on the plain.
A few sparse and widely spaced pedestrians can still be seen on the plain.
In the jungle, Xiao Ming looked at the endless black and knew that he was about to enter the black plain.
He took out the map from the ring and compared it. Looking at a small black dot on the map, Xiao Ming stood among the trees and said softly:
"Go west for thirty miles to reach the location where the secret realm opens. I hope you won't encounter a black storm during this period."
Apart from the thousands of horse thieves, the most terrifying thing in the Black Plains is the Black Storm. People with little experience will lose their way in it.
There was once an unlucky guy who was driving in a black storm. He ended up circling half of the Great Plains and was exhausted to death.
Xiao Ming was not worried that he would be exhausted, he was just afraid of missing the opened secret realm.
After praying for better luck, Xiao Ming put the map away, his fighting spirit flowed from his legs, and he started to use his fighting skills. His whole body appeared like a ghost a few meters away.
The scene seemed to be moving on a small scale, which was quite strange. Soon Xiao Ming disappeared from the same place.
…
On the pitch-black plain, a figure brought up a faint wisp of yellow dust, and then galloped past. It was even faster than a horse, and finally disappeared at the end of the line of sight.
This person is Xiao Ming, and it has been two hours since he left Black Seal City.
During this period, he was also very lucky not to encounter a black storm.
Therefore, he had actually walked the thirty miles long ago and was just looking for the exact location at the moment.
Unfortunately, there is no positioning system like GPS in this world, so even if Xiao Ming knows the exact location, it is still a bit difficult to find the opening location of the secret realm on the almost identical plains.
No, after searching for so long, Xiao Ming still hasn't found it.
As time passed, Xiao Ming's pace began to slow down and finally stopped.
"Forget it, let's stop looking. When the secret realm is revealed, there will be a huge noise. Then just rush there and you won't be so conspicuous when you meet people."
Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down his breath that fluctuated due to the violent exercise. Xiao Ming took out a rejuvenation pill from the ring and stuffed it into his mouth.
In this way, he stayed there for another quarter of an hour.
Boom!
Xiao Ming, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly heard a loud noise. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. Not far away, a beam of light dozens of meters wide soared into the sky.
The white light clearly illuminated Xiao Ming's face hidden under the black robe.
Xiao Ming had a surprised look on his face when he saw this power.
"This secret realm is indeed extraordinary, but the movement must be too great."
Before he finished speaking, a sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Ming's hand. He half-knelt on the ground, inserted it into the ground, and held the hilt of the sword tightly to fix himself.
Soon, a howling wind mixed with energy fluctuations suddenly swept down from the sky. Suddenly, Xiao Ming's body was swayed by the strong wind.
He lowered his body a little to ensure his stability. When he heard the strong wind blowing on his black robe and the sound of hunting, Xiao Ming's expression also changed slightly.
I didn't expect that the fluctuations in this secret realm would be so strong before it was officially opened. Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I might be blown several miles away if I was caught off guard.
"Ah——, save me!"
As if to verify Xiao Ming's idea.
A figure mixed with screams whizzed past Xiao Ming diagonally above Xiao Ming from far away, and quickly disappeared, which made Xiao Ming's face look strange.
This guy is so unlucky.
The strong wind did not last long before it slowly died down.
He stood up and put his sword into the ring, straightened his clothes that were blown away by the strong wind, put his black robe back on to cover his face, and then shot towards the beam of light.
