Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 52
In fact, the mage market is a relatively dark place. The prices here are relatively cheap, but there are all kinds of low-quality items in the middle. Many vendors will buy cheap things in addition to selling things. Sometimes they will cheat from some ignorant mages or mage apprentices. To some superb goods.

The stall like Karl's is a very conscientious stall owner in the mage market. Although the raw materials are poor, there is no cutting corners.

This is also the boss's helpless move. The cost of good raw materials is high, and if the price is expensive, no one will buy it in this place, so the cost can only be reduced.

But Karl misunderstood a little. In his heart, the boss’s raw materials were not good, it must be because he didn’t have good raw materials in his hands, and he happened to have a few fire element cores in his hands, which are the best materials for making magic weapons, mysterious He said to the stall owner: "Your craftsmanship is very good, but you don't have good raw materials. I have some good things here. Would you like to have a look?"

Seeing Karl's mysterious look, the stall owner quickly realized that he had misunderstood, but he didn't refuse, because if there were good things, he would buy them, "What good things can you let me see?"

The voices in the market are noisy, and the voices of the stall owners are relatively low. When people cannot hear others clearly, they will unconsciously raise their voices, and Karl did the same.

Opening the magic pocket, he took out a fist-sized fire elemental core from it, smashed it on the table with a "bump", and shouted at the stall owner, "Look at how much this is?"

Karl felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet, with countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and a dozen people quickly put down their work and quickly surrounded him.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Karl was a little nervous. Although he could not be said to be battle-hardened now, at least he was battle-hardened, but it was the first time he faced so many mages, so he took two steps back, tightly Lean on the paving.

One of the leaders stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, how do you sell this thing?"

It turned out to be shopping, Karl heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that these mages would dare to attack others in such an official place.

Karl didn't know how much the elemental core was worth, so he kicked the ball to the opponent, "How much do you think this thing is worth?"

The leader looked around, and then said: "Sir, I will offer you 1 gold coin to buy it!"

Carlton suddenly understood, he seemed to be regarded as a noob, and he didn't have the habit of wearing the mage's badge on his chest. Although the black robe was a high-end product, he put on a cloak outside to cover the robe .

Can't help but roll his eyes, Karl felt that no matter how mentally handicapped he was, he also knew that such a large fire elemental core couldn't be worth only 1 gold coin.

Even the crowd watching together couldn't stand it any longer, and someone went on to say, "Sir, I'm willing to offer 2 gold coins!"

"I am willing to pay 3 gold coins!"

……

……

"I am willing to pay 20 gold coins!"

After saying this, the crowd made eye contact, and everyone understood, "Sir, 20 gold coins is a very high price, and no one will offer a higher price."

The stall owners behind Karl were a little helpless, they were the ones who made the mage market into a mess, they didn’t do business seriously, they just wanted to speculate and deceive Xiaobai, so they couldn’t help reminding: "Sir, this item of yours is of high value, The second floor of the market is the Chamber of Commerce directly under the Wizards Guild, and they will also help evaluate the value of the items, you'd better go there and have a look."

Before the stall owner finished speaking, a dozen people surrounding Karl glared at them.

"Gentlemen, can I go out for a while?" Carl reminded aloud that he planned to accept the stall owner's suggestion and planned to go to the second floor to take a look.

However, the dozen or so people around did not give way.

Karl was a little depressed. Could it be that this group of people dared to say that they couldn't grab it in this kind of official market? Thinking of this, Karl began to cast spells.

"Potent Mage Armor."

"A powerful secondary magic barrier."

I just learned the third-level spell Arcane Lightning recently, and this group of people will not get out of the way. Karl plans to become Professor Yang.

Just when Carl couldn't help but make a move, there was a sound of slapping the table behind him, followed by a shout from the stall owner: "If you don't get out of the way, call the guard at the door to put you all in prison!"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed reluctantly.

"You're doing business like this now?" Carl couldn't help but turn around and ask.

The stall owner said with a wry smile: "It can only be said that your item is too valuable. They think they can take the risk. After all, high risk and high return."

At the corner of the market, Carl found the stairs leading to the second floor and walked up the stairs.

An old man with curly and gray hair received him, "Hello, Mr. Master, tea or coffee?"

"Black tea, add sugar, thank you!"

Soon, a servant came over with a cup of coffee and a cup of black tea, and handed them to Carl and the appraiser who received him respectively.

"Mr. Master, my name is David, and I am an appraiser affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce."

Being polite, neither humble nor overbearing, Carl couldn't help feeling, "There is a big difference between businessmen."

David smiled, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "The group of people downstairs are buying and selling again?"

Seeing Carl's expression, David went on to say: "Their actions have ruined the reputation of the mage market, and there will be fewer and fewer people coming to the mage market in the future."

Karl nodded in agreement, took a sip of the black tea, it was sweet and moist, he couldn't help but take another sip, and said with emotion: "Selling things now is like being robbed."

Hearing Carl's words, David was a little curious about what would make the connoisseurs downstairs so frenzied. He looked expectant and said, "Mr. Mage, I'm very curious."

"My name is Karl, Karl Star, a high elf mage," after finishing speaking, Karl opened the magic pocket and took out the fist-sized flame core from inside.

"Mr. Carl, this is really a surprise," David put on a pair of unilateral eyes, picked up the flame core and looked at it carefully for a few minutes.

He raised his head and said to Carl, "First, let me tell you about our charges. The appraisal fee is 1% of the item's value, and the Chamber of Commerce will purchase according to the appraisal fee."

"However, I suggest that you entrust this item to the Chamber of Commerce for auction. The appraisal fee is free, but we will charge a 3% handling fee for the auction fee."

"Given the value of this flame elemental core, but please believe me, the income from the auction is definitely far greater than the 3% handling fee."

Karl opened the magic pocket again, and under David's shocked eyes, he took out 3 elemental cores of the same size.
