Ryan took a few people to wander around the streets of Flar City for a few times, and witnessed many exotic customs with his own eyes. The style here is completely different from that of Aesopaton City. When he was in Aesopaton City, whether it was Matron Maris, Matron Dresinti or Matron Sabrina, they all hope that their family can dominate the entire city. This will not only bring supreme glory, but also bring glory to the people they belong to. The family has more interests,
But you can't see this at all in Flar City. Since Flar City has become a node in the Rakshasa demon's underground trade system, it naturally contains a criss-crossing interest system deep down. It can be said that every person in this city Families or each chamber of commerce are all spokespersons for other cities and forces. For example, the Hrudian family also has a chamber of commerce here. To rashly launch a battle to rule the entire city is basically equivalent to directly declaring war on all alien forces. People can be so stupid,
Furthermore, dominating a city often involves coveting the benefits brought by rule in addition to illusory things like honor. However, as long as you do business with the chamber of commerce in Flar City, you can basically earn more in a year than fighting all day long. I don’t know how much more to kill. You must know that occupying a city requires paying a huge price. Feeding a large number of elite warriors, equipping them with sophisticated armor and weapons, conquering all directions, buying allies, and providing compensation for those who died in battle. clan members, etc. These sacrifices are enough to bankrupt a medium-sized dark elf family.
Why is it that the Hrudian family is not very strong, but can still occupy the position of the seventh family in Isopaton City? If there is no Chamber of Commerce in Flar City, where will Mattress Maris have the capital to support this? Everything, so in the Hrudian family, the most important thing is naturally the family enchantment laboratory, so Matisse, the sibling sister of Matron Maris, is personally in charge of it, followed by the Chamber of Commerce in Flaar City, and The person in charge here is Matron Maris’s second daughter, Senetia’s sister Latina.
Ryan met Latina once. It was during the sacrificial ceremony. She and La Nina prayed to the spider goddess Rose, hoping to become a believer of this god. However, in the end, La Nina was favored, so La Tina naturally returned to her position and talked about the names of the two sisters La Nina and La Tina. This was mainly because they were named by the mother of the family after they completed their coming-of-age ceremony to show that they were pure members of the family. As for the noble direct bloodline, Senetia is still a child, with only a name that is close to a nickname, but no adult name.
The urban layout of Foral City is not symmetrical, but a circular expansion. In the center of the city is the most prosperous and important building in the city. It is the venue for various underground auctions. This auction house serves as the center of the circle, and some families or chambers of commerce with powerful backgrounds build a ring of streets around the periphery. This is the trading area for these top families and forces. Next, according to the strength of each family and force, it is very They tacitly used this ring-shaped street trade area to radiate out layer by layer to the periphery of the city, eventually forming the entire city of Foral.
With the strength of the Hrudian family, in the past, they could only open a chamber of commerce in the trade area of the sixth ring. However, with the help of Ryan, they completely controlled the entire city of Aesopaton, and they were able to gain trade in the fifth ring. The qualifications for trade in the area, the goods that can be sold and bought will naturally increase to a higher level, and the income will of course increase several times. Of course, if the Hrudian family loses this dominance in the future, there is no need for others to urge them. It will also automatically return to the sixth ring, or even the outermost eighth ring trade area, otherwise it will be jointly suppressed by other families and chambers of commerce in the same trade area. No one likes guys who don't abide by the rules.
The street where Ryan and the others were wandering was located in the Sixth Ring Trading Area. There was a special teleportation magic circle for use by chambers of commerce and mercenaries entering and exiting this trading area. If it weren't for the upcoming underground auction, Flair City might not be willing to send one. The legendary archmage guards every teleportation magic circle in and out of the city, but he also got the news that Ryan and Faras, two legendary peak powerhouses, came here.
It takes more than two hours to walk from the teleportation magic room to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of the Hrudian family here. The streets along this journey are lined with shops filled with a dazzling array of goods, but as Ayton said, Although the things here can still bear the title of "rich", they are only for ordinary people. Occasionally, legendary level experts will find some rare things here, but I hope that there will be super-powerful people like Ryan in this area. It is really unrealistic that even strong people can have helpful goods.
Therefore, along the way, Ryan just bought some exotic delicacies casually and tried them with his wife Farasi. He was completely dismissive of other things. Not only Ryan, but also Senitya He despises most of the goods here. In the opinion of this enchanting genius, if the Hrudian family was not too weak, how could it be possible to stay in the Sixth District? You must know Hrudian’s refined mithril armor. It is definitely a hot commodity in this city. It is definitely the best choice to arm the ordinary-level strongmen within the family and chamber of commerce. There is no one.
The group of people walked around and finally spent nearly three hours before arriving at the headquarters of the Khrudian family's chamber of commerce. The Latina lady had been notified by her mother, Matron Maris, and was waiting at the door early in the morning. After a long time, Latina not only had no complaints about the "lateness" of Ryan and others. Instead, she smiled and suggested that she accompany Ryan around. Now the entire Hrudian family is completely tied to Ryan's chariot. On top of that, making Ryan happy is the core interest of the family.
Ryan declined Latina's proposal. He did not come here just for fun, but it just caused an illusion to others. Now that Latina is a person who is familiar with the inside story of Flair City, Ryan decided Ask her about the situation of the underground auction in a few days, and then consider several ideas that she has come up with along the way to see which one is most suitable for the situation at hand.
Latina was simply flattered to be personally summoned by Ryan. Her strength was not very strong, that is, at the level of a great mage. Maybe she would not have the chance to break through to the legendary realm in a few decades, but Latina preferred it. Commercial trade, especially quickly calculating the price of goods, and finding out from tens of thousands of goods that are worthy of buying low and selling high to earn the price difference, is Latina's greatest pleasure.
Speaking of which, the three daughters of Matron Maris each have their own preferences. La Nina likes martial arts and is the strongest among the three sisters, while Latina likes business and trade. The youngest Senitya is a complete one. Enchanting geniuses, if the three of them can work closely together, the Hrudian family in the future will definitely go further than the period under the management of Matron Maris.
Of course, no one mentions this matter anymore. The future of the Hrudian family basically depends on Ryan. With just one sentence from the latter, this small dark elf family can quickly gain the status to stand side by side with those old big families. Qualifications, and without Ryan's presence, it would be impossible for Mother Maris to return to the days when she was ranked seventh. They would pay a heavy price for their rise.
Ryan motioned for Latina to sit down, and then slowly expressed his doubts. Of course, Latina already knew clearly about the underground auction, so she explained it to Ryan in detail. This time The underground auction is divided into two parts. The first one is naturally the auction of various stored items, including goods secretly smuggled in by the Rakshasa demon's caravan. However, although these items are precious, they are not enough to attract so many legends. Peak powerhouses, the most important reason why these super powerhouses are willing to come here is for the second part of the underground auction. Participants will display and auction their treasured items on their own. As for whether to exchange for gold coins, magic cores or other things, it is all The auction house has nothing to do with the thoughts of the auctioneers. They are only responsible for maintaining order and collecting a fee of 30 million gold coins from each participant.
Of course, not everyone is eligible to participate in the second part of the underground auction. Not only does everyone have to pay 30 million gold coins when entering, but they must also reach the level of legendary advancement, otherwise they will be auctioned. The moderator refused. For the legendary advanced powerhouse, thirty million gold coins can only be regarded as a small amount of money. When the Thousand Year War begins, if you want to exchange items that you can use from others, How is it possible without paying a heavy price? This often means the appearance of various private collections, and any rare item that can be encountered but cannot be obtained, if once cashed, one billion or ten billion gold coins can only be used for a little bit. Just to measure their value, so what really attracts those super powerful people to the scene are these privately collected items.
In previous auctions, some super powerful people who decided to take out their private collections would usually reveal their secrets in advance in order to exchange for something they wanted or were eager to use, so as to attract more interested people. Participating can increase the chance of your wish coming true, so this is the case when rumors of someone auctioning artifacts broke out in the underground auction. Otherwise, with Latina's strength, what qualifications would she have to inquire about the super powerful person? What about the privacy between the two persons
After fully understanding the news about this underground auction, Ryan decided to take out a few items to join the auction, but among these items, Ryan would deliberately find a secret that only he and Fulia knew, such as a sculpture. A golem full of elven secret magic tattoos or something else. Ryan believes that as long as Freya sees this scene, she will immediately guess her disguised identity, and it is impossible for other characters to come into contact with this aspect. Naturally, I don’t have to worry that this item will reveal Ryan’s identity.
