Lotkar walked very fast. The journey that was supposed to take two days to complete was completed in just over one day. Yang Yu and his companions arrived safely at WuLS, the first city with the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce auction house.
On the way, Yias and Yang Yu had little communication, and their relationship became rigid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Noticing the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Bai Jin wanted to reconcile the two people, but she failed after many attempts.
When Yias and Yang Yu had a conflict, she was by their side and knew some of the causes and consequences. The main problem lay with Yias.
Bai Jin also tried to make Yias realize her mistakes and apologize to Yang Yu, but her brother's affairs completely burned out her rationality, making it impossible for her to think rationally at all.
As it turned out, even Yang Yu had no solution, and Bai Jin would just be wasting his breath if he went up to him.
Bai Jin, who was sitting in the carriage, gradually became silent as the stiff atmosphere grew. She hugged He Meng tightly in her arms and prayed silently that everything would go well and that after rescuing her brother, Iyas would be able to regain her sanity and not be so impulsive in the future.
As we passed the pass, dark clouds appeared in the sky one after another, covering the clear sky.
When summer comes, the warm and humid monsoon will carry the water vapor collected from the sea, bringing one rainfall after another to Ukraine.
Sometimes, raindrops as big as beans pour down, hitting the rubble with a crackling sound; sometimes, tiny raindrops fall in an endless stream for several days without stopping, bringing cool breezes to the hot summer.
An experienced weather observer can easily judge what kind of rain is coming from the dark clouds hovering over the city.
Although the sky was overcast, the people setting up stalls on the streets of WuLS were still concentrating on selling their goods.
It is extremely common for them to close their stalls at the last minute when the rain starts to fall.
The pedestrians on the street were the same. They were not afraid of the dust blown in their faces by the cold wind. They continued to chat and stroll on the streets, as if they were used to it all.
Yang Yu and his team’s goal was very clear from the beginning.
They walked through the prosperous streets and headed towards the only auction house in WuLS.
After settling Lothkar, Yang Yu planned to go to the auction house alone to collect information, but Iyas said she wanted to go with him.
Yang Yu sternly rejected Yias. Yias had never actually seen the auction house except when it was auctioned. If she followed him, people would easily notice something was wrong.
Iyas wanted to say something, but due to the strained relationship between them, she just said, "Please," and returned to the hotel angrily.
Yang Yu walked into the auction house calmly, found the receptionist, and cautiously asked,
"Excuse me, I would like to know where the slave trade venue is."
The receptionist took a look at Yang Yu. The way Yang Yu was dressed made him look like a poor boy who came out of nowhere.
Slaves were high-end toys that only nobles and wealthy businessmen could enjoy. He didn't believe that a poor boy like this could afford slaves, and naturally he didn't want to tell Yang Yu anything about slave auctions.
People like Yang Yu are probably bachelors who can't find a girlfriend and want to buy a slave as a girlfriend to free their hands.
Such people are not welcome in the slave trade.
So the receptionist casually entertained Yang Yu, told him that they did not do slave trade here, and then put on a look as if to drive him away, telling Yang Yu to get as far away as possible.
Yang Yu thought for a moment, took out a bottle of light golden liquid from the system, and placed it on the front desk.
I decided to use it sparingly, but in the end I still had to take it out.
If possible, Yang Yu didn't want to use the few resurrection drugs.
However, it was impossible for a person like him with unknown origins and no identity background to simply pass the auction house's review and understand the subsequent slave business.
Yang Yu’s thinking was very clear. No matter how gorgeously you dress, your origin is still unknown. Others cannot assume that you are an upper-class person just by looking at your clothes.
In this way, once the slightest flaw is revealed, it will attract endless suspicion.
The best approach is to do the opposite.
With an ordinary identity, he brought out priceless items and hinted at his identity from time to time. In this way, even if he revealed any flaws, others would think that they were just small flaws deliberately revealed to cover up his true identity.
After winning so many prizes, Yang Yu already has countless "treasures" in his hands, but it takes time to exaggerate those treasures.
Yang Yu wasn't sure if the receptionist at the auction house had the patience to listen to his nonsense.
If you want the receptionist to pay attention to you and get the information you want, you have to come up with something that the receptionist can recognize and that will make his eyes light up.
Although there is an option to bring out rare weapons, if you bring out rare equipment at this location, you will most likely be regarded as a poor adventurer who comes to auction weapons, and will not be taken seriously.
After thinking it over, the only most suitable thing Yang Yu could think of was the resurrection potion.
In order to sell this thing at an unprecedented price, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of effort to promote it, not only in the Republic of Terun, but also in other places.
In the commercially prosperous Setis, there must be many legends about this medicine.
Others can tell the value of this thing at a glance, and Yang Yu saves himself from wasting time and effort.
it is more than words.
Sure enough, as soon as the bottle of light golden liquid was placed on the table, the receptionist's face changed instantly, and his heart skipped a beat. Oh shit, no way, no way, it really can't be that thing, right
The receptionist changed her attitude and looked carefully at the light golden liquid in the bottle.
"My godfather's estate has been a bit tight lately, so he asked me to exchange this thing for money and then hire a few slaves.
This is my first time and I don’t know anything, so I hope to get information from you.”
Yang Yu smiled and pushed the resurrection potion towards the receptionist.
"You know, young people these days are unwilling to work in the manor. They all go to big cities. No one is willing to work in the manor.
The cost of hiring a person is not as good as buying a slave.
You should know the value of this thing. If you don’t know, please ask your appraiser to appraise it. He should know the true value of this thing.”
The receptionist was skeptical about what Yang Yu said. He carefully picked up the bottle of light golden liquid, walked into the compartment, and asked the auction house's appraiser to identify it.
