Two days later, a huge city appeared in front of Gray's eyes.
This is a city shrouded in wind and snow, covered in ice and snow.
The city wall was covered with thick snow.
The tops of the buildings within the city wall are also covered with cotton-like ice and snow.
It's like a world of ice and snow.
This is the city of mercenaries!
The carriage drove into the city and appeared on a street that was wide enough to accommodate several carriages traveling side by side.
"Master Gray, where are we going now?"
Dolly, the servant driving the carriage, asked Gray in the carriage.
Opening the car window, Gray looked outside and saw shops one after another along the street.
Grocery stores, livestock stores, weapons stores, medicine purchase stores... Even in winter, there are still some people coming in and out from time to time.
Many of those people were dressed like mercenaries wearing leather armor underneath and a coat on the outside. Obviously, there were a lot of mercenaries in this city.
"I wonder where the Red Wings Mercenary Group is based?"
Coming here, Gray couldn't help but think of the Red Wings mercenary group he met in the Red Leaf Forest last time. The other party had invited him to the station as a guest, and the other party's station was in the mercenary city.
This time I went to the Mercenary City to buy the blood of the blood beast. It would be much more convenient if the other party, a "local snake", could help me. At least I would be much better informed.
After thinking about it, Gray gave up in the end. He was not familiar with the Red Wings mercenary group. At most, they cooperated once while they were wary of each other. There was no friendship at all.
"Spend some money and find someone to guide us and take us to the largest place where blood beast blood is purchased and sold in the city."
He ordered to his servant Dolly.
The blood he wanted to buy was barbarian blood beast blood, which was definitely not available in ordinary small shops, so Gray's goal was to go straight to the largest shop in the mercenary city.
Moreover, although Gray will keep some of the blood of the mad-level blood beasts he hunted in the night forest last time, most of it is planned to be sold by Gray.
"Yes, Master Gray."
Dolly responded and left with a silver coin, and soon a man dressed as a mercenary was moved, and he immediately agreed to guide them.
Under the guidance of the mercenary man, the carriage turned left and right along the street. After walking for almost half an hour, the vision suddenly became clear.
The first thing that caught the eye was a huge square. On the square, there were more than ten carriages parked. Many of them were luxuriously decorated. At a glance, you could tell that the origin of the owner of the carriage was not simple.
At the end of the square stands a huge three-story building.
The building has sharp corners. Although it is huge, it is quite delicate. It can be seen that a lot of energy must have been spent when it was originally built.
On the building, there are huge words "Rex Chamber of Commerce" carved with a golden metallic luster. According to Gray's estimation, these words should have been carved and then poured with a layer of gold.
"Very rich!"
Using gold as a signboard, and being so huge, it must have cost a lot of gold.
"Rex? Could this be the property of the Rex family, the family of the Mercenary King?"
With these thoughts in mind, Gray got off the carriage.
"wait for me here!"
He took out the blood beast blood to be sold from the rune space bag and put it in the carriage. After giving instructions to Dolly, Gray walked towards the entrance of the huge building.
Entering it, you will see a huge hall.
The hall is full of various counters.
The bottom of the counter is made of high-grade wood, and the top is polished with transparent crystal. The items inside can be clearly seen through the crystal.
In addition, there are words next to the counter that introduce the items on the counter.
Green glanced at it and found categories such as medicinal materials, weapons, blood beast blood, etc.
"Master, may I ask what you need?"
At the entrance, several beautiful girls stood respectfully.
They wore skirts that were similar to maid uniforms but slightly different from them. The slightly tight skirts revealed their beautiful figures.
As soon as Gray entered the building through the gate, a girl immediately came forward to greet him. After giving Gray a slight salute, she asked in a soft voice and a polite manner.
"I need to buy some blood beast blood, barbaric level."
Gray nodded to the other party and then said.
"The blood of barbarian blood beasts..."
After hearing Gray's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered, and at the same time, the smile on her face became a little wider.
"Okay, barbarian blood beast blood is only sold on the second floor. Please follow me."
The blood of a barbarian-level blood beast can be sold for about several thousand gold coins. Even in this high-standard chamber of commerce, it is considered to be quite expensive.
But after all, this is the property of the Rex family. It is not uncommon for people to come here and prepare to buy the blood of barbarian blood beasts.
So after the girl was stunned for a moment, she immediately recovered.
Under the guidance of the girl, Gray reached the end of the hall and stepped on the fur-paved stairs to the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.
On the second floor, there are also counters similar to those on the first floor, but there are a lot less of them, and behind each counter there are people who are well-dressed and have a calm atmosphere.
If Gray's guess is correct, these people should have practiced blood magic, and their level is not low.
After all, the items on the second floor are of high value. Without some strength, they can easily be stolen.
The girl led Gray to one of the circular counters.
I saw that the counter was full of various round-bottomed crystal containers, and there was liquid in the crystal containers.
Most of these liquids are red, but some are blue, green and other colors.
"What type of blood beast blood do I need to buy?"
Behind the counter, there was a charming brown-haired woman. When she saw the girl leading Gray to the counter, she asked.
"Barbarian-level wind blood beast blood."
Gray said directly.
"This way please!"
The charming woman was not surprised that she would come to the second floor, and the things she bought would not be too bad.
She stretched out her hand gracefully, revealing her white arms, and led Gray to a counter in the circular counter.
Gray looked around and saw three round-bottomed crystal bottles of about one liter on the counter.
In a crystal bottle on the left, it says Storm Eagle.
The crystal bottle in the middle has the word Storm Lion written on it.
In the crystal bottle on the right, it says "Wind Wolf".
Gray scanned them one by one, his face couldn't help but become slightly disappointed.
He knew all three of these blood beasts. They were indeed barbarian-level wind blood beasts. However, according to the description in the book, the power of their blood beast abilities could only be considered ordinary among barbarian-level ones.
He raised his head and looked at the charming woman and asked.
"Is there the blood of a barbarian-level wind type special blood beast?"
"Barbarian-level special wind-type blood beast?"
Upon hearing Gray's inquiry, the charming woman glanced at Gray, shook her head slightly and said.
"Sorry, we don't sell blood of that level to the public at a price!"
"Don't sell it at a price? Does that mean you have that level of blood beast blood?"
Gray grasped the meaning of the other party's words keenly.
"Yes, our Chamber of Commerce does have that level of blood beast blood."
The charming woman nodded slightly proudly.
Not to mention the special blood beast blood of barbarian level, even the blood of wild level blood beast, their chamber of commerce also has it.
She was sure that after searching the entire Ziyue Kingdom, there would definitely be no more than five factions that could rival their chamber of commerce in terms of blood beast blood collection. This had always been something she was extremely proud of.
"However, the blood of the blood beast is too precious and will not be sold at a public price. Instead, it will be sold at auction every once in a while."
"When will your Rex Chamber of Commerce hold an auction next?"
"a."
"Can you help me check if there is any special blood beast blood of the wind system?"
"OK, just a second."
The charming woman left, returned after a short while, and said to Gray.
"The next auction will include the blood of the special wind blood beast Blade Weasel. If you want to participate, please come at noon a week later."
"Blade Weasel?"
Gray's eyes suddenly lit up.
The Blade Weasel is a barbarian-level blood beast of the same sequence as the Blade Weasel he hunted last time. It is indeed a special wind-type blood beast.
This trip to the mercenary city was the right one. Although I couldn't directly buy the blood of the barbarian-level special blood beast, I got news about it.
The matter of the barbarian-level special wind-type blood beast was settled. Gray remembered another purpose of coming this time, looked at the middle-aged woman and asked.
"I have a batch of blood from crazy-level blood beasts. Can I sell it here?"
"OK."
The charming woman smiled and nodded.
She originally thought that the transaction had failed, but she didn't expect that Gray was still planning to sell the blood of the crazy-level blood beast, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"There are a total of twelve mad-level blood beasts' blood. The quantity is a bit large. Can you call a few people to help me move it?"
"Of course no problem."
The smile on the charming woman's face became even bigger.
The blood of 12 mad-level blood beasts is a big deal even for the Rex Chamber of Commerce.
She personally led ten clerks and followed Gray to the carriage to pick up the blood of the blood beasts. In the end, a full 24 rune bags were moved to the circular counter.
Last time, Gray hunted a total of 15 mad-level blood beasts, three of which were wind-attributed. Gray had given them to Count Fergus to be used by everyone in the castle to assist in their training.
After placing all the rune bags in front of the counter, the charming woman took out a thick book from a drawer on the counter.
This is a book made of metal, and a page is a flat piece of metal.
All the pages in the book together were dozens of centimeters thick and heavy, but Charming Woman moved it out easily. Apparently Gray's previous guess was correct, Charming Woman had indeed practiced blood magic.
Green looked at the metal sheets on the pages of the book and saw that there were numerous blood beast patterns on each metal sheet. Below the patterns, there were text labels with the names of the blood beasts represented by the blood beast patterns.
"Book of Appraisal."
Seeing these patterns and labels, Gray immediately guessed the purpose of this book. It should be a book that could identify the types of blood beasts.
