After hearing the formal and extraordinary replies from the two dwarves, Zhou Lei nodded with satisfaction, and then politely said:
"I didn't mean to cause any disturbance, and please forgive me."
Soon, with an invitation letter, the three of them walked out of the store with satisfaction. As for the purchased goods, they naturally paid for them with the equipment they had replaced, which could be regarded as sorting out a lot of items accumulated on them. .
After leaving the shop, the three of them were not in a hurry to find a place to stay. In such a large open port, there is not only a dwarf hut, but also countless shops and traders. After all, this is a port that can accommodate 100,000 people. Port city.
Walking through the streets, their eyes passed by the street stalls. During the process, they also discovered a lot of good things, such as the elite-quality water attribute "waterspout" one-time elemental magic scroll, and the elite-level A full-body wooden shield, or a jewelry necklace with a protective effect.
However, in the end, none of the three people made a purchase. All the ordinary materials on their bodies, including the elite nanmu scepter, excellent quality Cheer-ear leather armor, (fake) silver shark plate armor and other equipment, had already been purchased.
But the most precious giant rock heavy armor, as well as the 711 type magic puppet, the intermediate Pegasus type energy core construction blueprints, etc., are still in hand, and the net worth is relatively comfortable.
The reason why they didn't buy it was because the "healing" beasts they were going to auction were far more rare than ordinary summoned beasts and beasts. One is the earth, the other is the sky, and the two cannot be compared at all.
In order to ensure that once a healing beast appears at the auction, it can be 100% captured, so these few items left on the body cannot be used.
But not long after, this idea was instantly forgotten by the three of them, because they found something they couldn't refuse.
In a fox-man shop, the three of them looked carefully at the objects placed in front of them. This was a heavy weapon of considerable size. The long barrel was flashing with bright silver, and it seemed to be telling outsiders. This is a brand new artillery piece.
………
There is no doubt that this is something that must be acquired, although they have already loaded several heavy weapons on the ship.
However, torpedoes can only be launched in the water, and the reloading limit is not small. They can only fire two rounds per hour. The ship-mounted whale gun is powerful enough, but the range is impressive, and with its equipment attributes, it is obviously impossible to use it. For long-range consumption, one or even several artillery pieces are what is urgently needed on the ship.
Summoning the shop owner, Zhou Lei began to ask about the specific price of this Shenwei-class artillery.
Seeing that Zhou Lei was interested in buying it, the fox boss's eyes flashed, and he immediately gave a scary price.
200,000 ocean coins.
Hearing this, the eyes of Ren Yang and the two people behind them froze. Is this the lion's big mouth? No, this is already asking for a lot of money, 200,000 ocean coins. You must know that the medium-sized ocean coin lucky bag they opened from the red copper treasure chest only has 10,000 coins.
Counting from the novice welfare period, until now, the total number of ocean coins they have purchased may not exceed 200,000.
It may not be intuitive to say this.
Take the Gnoll camp they destroyed during the novice welfare period as an example. A camp with more than 200 people and nearly a hundred spiritual creature-level Gnoll warriors was accumulated over ten years or even decades. , the family wealth is only more than 90,000 ocean coins.
According to the price offered by the fox-man in front of me, the jackal tribe has been developing for more than ten or twenty years, and the family's wealth is not enough to buy half of this powerful cannon.
At this moment, Ren Yang just wanted to greet the fox man's family cordially.
In this regard, Zhou Lei's face was very calm. The light in his hand flashed, and he took out the rare-quality giant rock heavy armor, displayed the heavy armor attribute board, and then said directly:
"Here's the plate armor for you, I want two of these brand new cannons!!"
"If it works, just nod, and we'll make a deal. If it doesn't work, shake your head, and we'll leave. The city is so big, and you must be the only one selling this divine artillery."
Hearing Zhou Lei's words, a flash of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the fox boss. His nature made him instinctively want to continue to lower the price, but Zhou Lei's clean and crisp tone made him hesitate, fearing that he would lose the business.
Seeing that he was hesitant and didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Lei, who had a lot of experience in bargaining, reacted quickly. The light in his hand flashed again, and the giant rock heavy armor was restored to the storage space by him. At the same time, he turned around with Ren Yang and Zhao Hu behind him. Then leave.
Seeing Zhou Lei's reaction, the fox boss instinctively became anxious, but he still refrained from calling out.
Kick, kick, kick!
The three of them walked quickly, without showing any sign of nostalgia, as they walked towards the door of the shop, their steps seemed to be carrying the wind.
However, this was not the case. Zhou Lei, who was walking at the front, had his whole heart high, waiting for the call from behind.
However, as he gradually approached the door, there was never a sound of condolence from the fox boss behind him.
His heart gradually sank, and the next moment Zhou Lei calmed down and stepped out of the shop, because he knew very well that with the nature of the fox, once he turned back, he would definitely face a severe price increase from the other party.
"etc……"
A faint call suddenly sounded from behind, making Zhou Lei raise his lips. It was obvious that he won this bet!
Turning around, Zhou Lei's expression had returned to calmness, and the smile at the corner of his mouth had long since disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
Returning to the counter, he took out the giant rock heavy armor again, and the fox boss reluctantly completed the transaction with a face full of embarrassment.
In the end, because he did not want to expose the secret space, when Zhou Lei asked for two cannons to be sent to their ship, the fox boss asked for 500 ocean coins for shipping, which saved a little face, at least that's what he thought. .
Zhou Lei didn't know anything about this. It was only five hundred ocean coins, so he still didn't care.
Soon, night fell, and the three of them chose a place to stay and quietly waited for the next day.
………
The next day, in the afternoon, a group of three people pointed directly at the dwarf's hut. The venue for this auction was underground in the dwarf's hut. It was said to be a space specially opened up for the purpose of holding the auction.
After Zhou Lei handed over the invitation letter in his hand, the dwarf guards in front of the entrance immediately showed respect and immediately gave way to the passage, and the three of them stepped in directly.
An invitation not only allowed the holder to enter, but also brought two attendants, so all three could enter.
This is a large underground darkroom. The top is inlaid with luminous stones that emit dazzling light. It does not appear dim. On the inside of the darkroom, there is a high platform built with stone. It is the high platform used for holding auctions. Under the platform, Not far away, there are rows of exquisite seats.
When the three of them entered the dark room, there were already some figures sitting on these seats. The number should be around twenty.
It can be seen that the standards of this auction are indeed very high, otherwise there would never be only such a few figures.
Zhou Lei could also sense that most of the figures exuded the aura of high-level spiritual creatures, and even found two figures that even he could not see through.
One is a creature wearing a cloak sitting in the back left corner, and the other is a woman who is dressed quite openly and has a very hot figure.
Regarding these two, Zhou Lei kept a close eye on them, so that he could not see through them. There were only two possible reasons. One was that the other party had special items or props that concealed his own cultivation, and the other was that the other party was at least as strong as Oneself equal, or exceed.
And no matter which one of the two it is, it means that the other person is probably not a simple person.
After all, props that can conceal one's own strength are extremely rare. Their value definitely exceeds the epic quality, and they are definitely not something ordinary people can possess.
And if the strength is equal to him, then it must be officially extraordinary, and this kind of person is even more difficult to mess with.
He had just been promoted to the first level Whale Knight not long ago. Although he had been able to initially restrain his aura and swallowed a purple-blood vermilion fruit, the extraordinary characteristics condensed in his body now exceeded twelve points, but he was still far away from completely controlling himself. There is still a long way to go to achieve full strength. Otherwise, he would never have been forced to that point when he fought against the rock warrior.
And it is precisely because of this that he is now even more reluctant to provoke beings of the same level.
………
After finding a corner and sitting down, the three of them began to wait quietly. It was still some time before the auction started, so they had to wait for a while.
Ten minutes later, when the number of figures in the dark room approached forty, the auction finally began.
A short figure walked out of the stone room behind the stone platform and began to announce that the auction had officially begun.
Without any ink, the first auction item was soon brought to the stage, and at the same time, the dwarf on the stone stage also spoke loudly.
"The first lot in this auction is a rare quality "eighth-level" Storm Wolf summoning scroll. The starting price is 3,000 ocean coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 100 ocean coins. Now I announce that the bidding has begun!"
As the dwarf's voice fell, the atmosphere in the dark room was instantly ignited. The people here were basically well-known figures inside and outside the port. Eighth-level spiritual creature summoning scrolls. They would naturally not be stingy with something like this that could increase their own life-saving ability. Don’t let the price of money in your hands skyrocket soon.
"3200 pieces!"
"I offer 3,400 coins!"
…
"7,000 pieces, if anyone else raises the price, we will withdraw!!"
…
In the blink of an eye, the price of this eighth-level wind wolf summoning scroll was raised to 12,000 ocean coins, and the price was still rising slowly. Finally, it was successfully bought for 12 ocean coins.
Immediately afterwards, one lot appeared one after another, and was quickly taken away, but no summoned beast with healing properties appeared. This made the three of them feel helpless, as the auction was about to come to an end.
In this regard, the three of them can only settle for the next best thing. If there is really no suitable summoned beast, then they can only prepare more healing items.
But the big problem is that healing items are notoriously popular, and it’s not that easy to get them.
Just when the three of them had given up their hopes, the finale of the auction really gave them a big surprise.
"Next is the highlight of this auction in our dwarf hut, a healing water summoned beast called "Water Elemental Spirit". Please check out the specific attributes of this water elemental spirit below."
………
Not only Zhou Lei and the other three, but the appearance of this water elemental spirit instantly detonated the entire auction venue. Before the dwarf on the stage announced that the auction had officially begun, all the creatures were already eager to try.
At this time, the dwarf on the stage saw this, stopped writing, directly opened the bid, and quickly announced that this round of auction had officially begun.
"The starting price for the ninth-level water elemental spirit is 100,000 ocean coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 ocean coins. Now I announce that this round of auction has officially begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bids below soon started to rise one after another. In an instant, the price was raised all the way, which made Zhou Lei and the other three people's eyebrows jump.
"101,000 pieces!"
"110,000 pieces!"
…
"I'll offer you 200,000 ocean coins, so don't fight with my Qingya Department. I will decide on this water elemental spirit."
"Giggle, others are afraid of your Qingya Department, but the slave family is not afraid, 220,000 ocean coins!!"
………
But in the blink of an eye, the price of this water elemental spirit has soared to 220,000 ocean coins, which made Zhou Lei and the others' eyelids jump.
Seeing this, Zhao Hu chatted privately:
"Boss, do we have so much money? How about forgetting it this time?"
After hearing this, Zhou Lei's eyes flashed slightly, and the situation in front of him was indeed beyond his expectation.
Of course, it's not about the price. The water elemental spirit is indeed worth the price. He was surprised by the appearance of this water elemental spirit. Although he had always been prepared to buy a healing beast, But he had never considered the water elemental spirit, the best among healing beasts.
