If my guess is correct, this should be the appraisal book.
The Book of Identification, a rune book made by a rune master, has the ability to identify the type of blood beast.
Each pattern on it is made by grinding the bones of the corresponding blood beast into powder and adding special materials.
When encountering the blood of the corresponding blood beast, the color will change. In this way, the type of blood beast's blood can be identified.
Sure enough, the charming woman's next actions confirmed Gray's guess.
The opponent turned to the location of the blood beast marked on the book in the rune bag, then dipped a clean bamboo stick into the blood, and dropped a drop of blood on the corresponding blood beast pattern.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the corresponding pattern suddenly glowed with blood-red light. The light lasted for a long time before finally dimming and disappearing.
The charming woman started the test of the next bag of blood after weighing the records.
Identify, weigh, record.
After repeating this process for half an hour, the charming woman finally identified all the blood. Then she made some calculations and looked at Gray Road with a smile.
"Your Excellency, among your batch of crazy-level blood beasts, there are 217 copies of Crazy Blade Mantis blood, 278 copies of Mad Bull blood, 205 copies of Ice Tiger blood..., a total of 3120 copies. In our chamber of commerce, crazy-level ordinary blood beasts will be purchased together. The price is 300 gold coins per portion, which is 936,000 gold coins, please make sure the amount is correct!"
With that said, the other party handed Gray the manuscript paper recording the blood share of the blood beast.
"That's the number."
Gray took it, did a little mental calculation, and nodded.
The price of 300 gold coins per serving is not high, but it is not low either.
Under normal circumstances, the auction price of the blood of a mad-level blood beast can reach about 500 gold coins, but this will also include the high handling fee of the auction.
And such a large amount of blood beast blood cannot be auctioned off in just a few times.
If you want to sell these blood in the form of auction, it will definitely take a very long time. When you finally get the money, I am afraid it will be a year later.
It was obviously impossible for Gray to wait for such a long time, so he did not think of selling it at auction, but chose to sell it directly.
"Your Excellency, please take stock!"
Nine hundred and thirty-six thousand gold coins, that is, nine thousand three hundred magic coins. Soon, a wooden box full of magic coins was carried in front of Gray.
In the box, the magic coins were bundled into neat strips, each containing 50 pieces.
"no problem."
Gray squatted down, clicked on the number, confirmed that there was no problem, and nodded to the charming woman.
"That's good. Is there anything else you need?"
The charming woman smiled.
If this deal is successful, both she and the girl who led Gray will receive a large reward.
"Do you have the blood of the corpse-haired ape here?"
Gray asked.
"Corpse Hair Ape, I'm sorry, what level of blood beast is this?"
The charming woman had a puzzled look on her face. As someone who was responsible for selling and purchasing the blood of blood beasts, she was well-informed, but she had never heard of this kind of blood beast.
"This is a mad-level blood beast. It comes from the corpse ape sequence. Its ability is to control the corpse of a dead blood beast."
A voice sounded, but it was not from Gray, but from behind the three of them.
Behind the three of them, a young woman wearing a white raccoon fur coat came forward.
The woman has long fiery red hair and a delicate face.
He has a tall figure and a pair of long legs that are already extremely slender, and when paired with a pair of white boots, they look even more concave.
"Miss."
Seeing this man, the charming woman and the girl next to her who were guiding Gray shouted respectfully.
Gray looked at this woman with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This is a very beautiful woman. Of course, this is not the reason why Gray looked at her with surprise.
Gray was surprised because the other party could easily tell the origin and ability of the Corpse Hair Ape.
Even he found the name of the blood beast, Corpse Hair Ape, after searching for a long time among the many books in the Sidney family.
"Sorry, this blood beast is an extremely rare blood beast. Our Chamber of Commerce does not have the blood of this blood beast."
The red-haired young woman walked up to Gray and apologized slightly.
"fine."
Gray shook his head.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Gray nodded to the red-haired woman, held up the heavy wooden box with one hand, and turned around to leave.
The goal has been achieved, and Gray will no longer stay at the Rex Chamber of Commerce.
Watching Gray disappear at the stairs on the second floor, the charming woman said to the red-haired woman.
"Miss, next week's auction does not originally have the blood of a barbarian-level wind-type special blood beast. Why did you temporarily add the blood of the Sword Weasel to it? Do you know this person?"
"I don't know him, but he is my friend."
The red-haired young woman smiled.
…
After leaving Rex Auction, he found a hotel to stay in. In the following days, in addition to daily practice, Gray spent most of his time wandering around the streets of the mercenary city.
I found a "tour guide" and asked him to lead the way to one store after another where blood was purchased and sold, hoping to see if he could encounter corpse hair ape blood.
Unfortunately, after a few days, I visited almost all the shops that buy and sell blood in the Mercenary City, and still haven't encountered the blood of the corpse hair ape. Apparently, as the red-haired woman said, the corpse hair ape is a very rare blood beast. .
"Come on, there's a duel over there!"
"What? There's a duel?"
"I haven't encountered a duel in half a month. Let's go and have a look..."
…
Following the "tour guide", Gray was walking on the street when he suddenly saw the crowds on the street commotion and rushing in one direction.
"Where is the duel ground?"
Gray looked at the tour guide in confusion. He was a young man in his 20s with a shallow scar from a wild beast on his face, making him look more mature than his current age.
"That's where the mercenaries of the Mercenary City resolve conflicts. Once they enter the duel field, it doesn't matter whether they live or die."
The young man looked slightly condensed.
"Once you enter the arena, will you live or die?"
After hearing what the other party said, Gray couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't expect that the mercenary city would have such unique rules.
Just from the fact that it does not matter life or death, you can feel that this duel is unusual. It is based on the decision of life and death. It can be imagined that this kind of duel is bloody and cruel.
And the mercenary city actually allows such a place to resolve conflicts. From this point, it is not difficult to see the difference between the mercenary city and the city ruled by the nobles.
"Let's go take a look too."
Gray decided to follow and take a look.
After a few days, he had run out of places to run, and he had given up all hope, so he simply went to see what this "life or death" duel field was like.
The two followed the crowd and poured into a huge building similar to the Roman Colosseum in the previous life.
The building resembles an inverted hemisphere, with a trapezoid going downwards and many rows of stairs.
The innermost side went straight down, forming an area paved with mud and gravel about a hundred meters in diameter, where the battle took place.
Here, in this area, there are already two people standing in it.
Relying on his strong physical fitness, Gray and the young mercenaries squeezed to the edge of the viewing platform and looked inside.
One of them was a thin man with a triangular face.
Wearing a green battle uniform, his body is extremely thin, like a green bamboo pole.
The opponent's weapons are two short knives. The short knives held in the opponent's hands actually give people the feeling of a green mantis with its sickle exposed.
The other person, wearing a blue-gray battle uniform, was of medium height.
He was holding a sword in his hand, and at this time, the tip of the sword had touched the ground.
"It's him… ?!"
Gray exclaimed when he saw this man, because he knew him.
More than a year ago, in the Red Leaf Forest, Gray encountered a mercenary group called the Red Wing Mercenary Group, and together they surrounded and killed the Jasper Lizard.
And the man in front of him was clearly the leader of the Red Wings Mercenary Group.
When he first arrived in the mercenary city, he thought about whether to visit the other party, but he gave up in the end, but he didn't expect to meet him in a place like this.
The man in the green-gray uniform was standing not far from Gray. He seemed to feel Gray's gaze, and he turned his head to look in Gray's direction.
When he saw Gray, he was slightly startled, but soon showed a look of surprise, and seemed to recognize Gray.
"It's the leader of the Red Wing Mercenary Group and the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group. I didn't expect it to be a duel between these two people!"
"These two are both crazy blood warriors, now they are worth seeing."
Beside Gray, several people were talking quietly.
"Are these two mercenary groups really because of what happened last time?"
Someone who knew the inside story said thoughtfully.
"What's up?"
If anyone is unclear, ask in confusion.
"The wife of a mercenary captain of the Red Wings Mercenary Group was raped and killed by the son of the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group. The mercenary captain went to seek revenge and was also killed."
"What? To actually do such a thing, the son of the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group is nothing."
"What happened next?"
"Later, the leader of the Red Wings mercenary group personally took action and killed the son of the leader of the Mantis mercenary group. Since then, conflicts between the two mercenary groups have broken out from time to time."
"And this time, I think I was preparing to completely resolve the conflict, but I actually went to the duel field."
Next to him, after hearing the entire conflict from the conversation of these people, Gray shook his head.
He sympathized with the Red Wings mercenary group's experience.
The entire conflict was started by the Mantis Mercenary Group, and the Red Wing Mercenary Group was only forced to fight back.
But now on the duel field, who is right and who is wrong is actually meaningless. It only depends on who can survive in the end.
He suddenly understood a little bit about the rules of the mercenary world that were different from the aristocratic world.
Don't ask about right or wrong, just about strength and weakness.
Compared with the nobles, the mercenaries tore through the pretense of hypocrisy and embodied the law of the weak and the strong even more vividly!
