Chapter 109 - Black Aria Auction
historical
Aria City. This city could be said the World's Trading Center where businesses were the main attraction. It has over a hundred thousand population with at least ten of thousand business stalls or shops. In this city, one could be assured that the goods being sold here were something to be trusted since it undergone the strict examinations of the Appraiser Guild.
Jin Rou and his companions were already in the Aria City, walking while looking at the stalls gathered around. Some were calling out for them but Jin Rou told them that don't mind it. Although the business stalls here underwent the examinations of the Appraiser Guild, Jin Rou saw some fake things with every stall he saw. Probably because some brave businessmen replaced what they presented to the Appraiser Guild. Although those things were not entirely fake since it contains some hidden ancient power and aura, it was still, in fact, an imitation. But not all the stalls were selling some fake things, there were also a few who were honest with what they sell.
"This is such a crowded place." Jin Rou said. Compared to the Shred Case's Tyy Empire, which boasted the center of business and trades, it paled to this Aria City.
"Of course, this was a trade center after all, where businesses, were the attraction." Lin Fan said. Although he accepted Jin Rou as the sectmaster and eventually joined the guild, he still felt uncomfortable for calling Jin Rou, who was a bit younger than him, a sectmaster.
"That's some rude way of talking to the sectmaster." Yalan Na frowned. Although she admitted that this guy was much stronger than her, it would not be long to reach her breakthrough, so she was fearless. Besides, she was displeased by the way Lin Fan talked to Jin Rou.
"What rude way?" Lin Fan smiled, "I am not being rude here."
Yalan Na wanted to rebuke but interrupted by Jin Rou, "Okay that's enough."
Probably Jin Rou understood why Lin Fan was like that, he left it be. Besides, it was not offending at all. After all, he wanted his subordinates to be close to him as possible.
After a few minutes of walking, something attracted the attention of the group.
It was a large building with diamonds carved in its walls. A huge plaque was hanging with golden glitter effects around it saying 'Black Aria Auction'.
That's right. This was an auction house. It boasted its high-quality armaments and artifacts that were even rarer than the dragons. Of course, those things were only limited and some clients, who have some, would not dare to sell it unless they have no use of it.
This was Jin Rou's real target here. Jin Rou went to this city to find some better with high-quality artifacts and armaments since this was the place Yuna Sierra had reported. Other than the Farna's Courtyard, the overlord of this world, there was no place richer than Black Aria Auction. In fact, this auction house was always packed with people and one needed to have a pass card to enter. But unexpectedly, Yuna Sierra, for some unknown method, gained one for Jin Rou to save some trouble for him.
"Alright, let's enter now." Jin Rou led the way as everyone followed suit.
As they were inside...
"Hello, Great Esteemed Customers! How may we, at the Black Aria Auction, help you?" A beautiful lady in a stewardess suit, revealing her white milky thighs, met Jin Rou's group with a tender smile.
Lin Fan almost drooled when he saw the seductive thighs revealed right in his eyes. Such a feist! He muttered in his heart.
"Uhm... I'm here to buy some pieces of equipment with a quality in a less cost." Jin Rou only has a limited money right now, he could not bear to spend more of what Yuna Sierra had told him to.
Of course, as an auction house, they also sell equipment. But not as great as what they present in their actual auction. After all, those things being auctioned were either armaments or artifacts from some wealthy or strong clients.
The lady said with a smile, "Esteemed customer, may I ask what types of equipment are you searching for? Is it a Sky's Armaments or Emperor's Armaments?"
In this world, Sky's Armaments and Emperor's Armaments were very expensive as it was so difficult to even for a high-star master forger, forge it. Forget about forging Emperor's Armaments, just Sky Armaments only have a 15% chance of success to be forged even by using the greatest and costly forging items. In fact, even the most powerful forger of the Forgers Guild, a 6-star master forger, only has a success chance of 16%. After all, a 1-star master forger only has 10% chance of success. Being promoted to another star will increase the success chance by 1%. Just by this, one could already be determined that it was not easy to forge and it was extremely damn costly that for a Sky Armament, a master forger might cost over a hundred thousand purple stones.
"How much for the Sky Armaments then?" Jin Rou asked. He was unaware of how much this cost, so he knew nothing about this. What he only knew was that he needed to have equipment for his sect. If he could not even present equipments, how could he attract youth to join his sect? Not to mention a sect should have at least thousands of sets of weapons displayed to attract the masses.
"Good thing you ask, Esteemed Customer!" The lady clapped her two delicate hands and smiled, "We have the cheapest low-grade Sky Armaments in-store pricing from 50,000 to 100,000 purple stones! As you are first time here, we will give you a 10% off for every items you purchase as long as it exceeded 10 items!"
"What?!" Jin Rou, Yalan Na, and Ran Haoyu were utterly shocked to hear this. As first timers of this world, they did not know about how costly this was.
"50,000 purple stones?" Jin Rou could not help but be in shock at this moment. If to buy a single item was already costly this much, how much money he needed then? Millions of purple stones probably. And take note, these Sky Armaments were only at the low-grade. Armaments consist of four grades, the low, middle, high and peak. How much for the higfher grades then? He could only breathe a cold air.
So expensive! He complained in his heart. He could rob this auction house clean without a sweat but it will be crossing his line.
What should I do? He muttered to himself.
