On the second floor of Piaoxiang Building, the best restaurant in Yamuda City, Ling Feng and Ouyang Ming sat together near the window, drinking wine against each other. wWw!QunabEn!COm
Of course it was Ouyang Ming who found the restaurant and ordered the food. Who told him to be more familiar with this place than Ling Feng? However, this wine was ordered by Ling Feng. Ouyang Ming also ordered wine at first, but the so-called good wine he ordered was called Huaniang. When Ling Feng drank it, it felt a bit like red wine and the taste was too bland. So the bartender was called and all the drinks were replaced with strong drinks.
Now Ling Feng was drinking with great interest. While tasting the wine, he was admiring the scenery outside the window. From Ling Feng's position, he could still see some scenes on the street. Ouyang Ming's face turned a little red, not because he was ashamed, but because he drank too much.
However, even though he looked a little drunk on the outside, he understood very well in his heart. By observing some of Ling Feng's ordinary movements, he even felt that Ling Feng had a certain temperament. Not simple, not simple, Ouyang Ming thought to himself.
Of course, the two of them didn't just drink and chat. Ling Feng is curious about everything in the Taikoo Continent. Ouyang Ming wanted to guess Ling Feng's family background from Ling Feng's conversation. So, as you wished, the two of them sat at the wine table and chatted.
Ling Feng learned that Ouyang Ming was also a mercenary when he was young. In fact, almost all warriors on the continent have experience as mercenaries. Now Ouyang Ming's family not only has a wife and children, but also grandchildren. The Ouyang family is neither big nor small in Yanlong Principality. He also has an older brother who is the head of the Ouyang family. However, there are too many families like this in the Taikoo Continent.
The status of an average family on the continent is that of the middle class. If you are in the family's location, the head of the family still has some power. Outside of the location, it basically depends on your family's influence. If there is a sub-saint-level warrior in the family, then such a family is relatively powerful in the kingdom, not to mention the principality. If the highest martial artist level in the family is ninth level, then it is considered a big family in the principality. If there were no ninth-level warriors, then such families would be like crucian carp crossing the river in the Taikoo Continent. They were countless and could only be regarded as ordinary small families.
Ouyang Ming's brother happens to be a ninth-level junior star swordsman. Therefore, Ouyang Ming was relatively well-off in the Yanlong Principality.
As for Ling Feng, he didn't talk much about his family affairs because he had no way of talking about them.
When Ouyang Ming learned that Ling Feng was twenty-four years old, he introduced his granddaughter enthusiastically and planned to help Ling Feng, which surprised Ling Feng.
Ling Feng just smiled and said, "If it's not beautiful, I don't want it."
"Don't worry, she is absolutely beautiful. My granddaughter is a famous beauty in Yanlong City. Every time she goes out, she is followed by a lot of young guys. Not to mention how popular she is. If you see her, keep it to your liking. "Ouyang Ming continued to pimp his granddaughter. His enthusiastic expression made Ling Feng think that his granddaughter couldn't get married, right
Moreover, looking at Ouyang Ming's appearance, it is difficult to imagine that his granddaughter is as beautiful as he said.
"Haha, whether you like it or not, we have to wait until we see the real person." Ling Feng decided not to dwell on this issue anymore, changed the subject and asked: "Since your home is in Yanlong City, it should be relatively far away from here, right? What are you doing here in Yamuda alone?”
"Yanlong City is not very far from here. If you want to see what my granddaughter looks like, come back with me. I guarantee you won't want to leave after seeing it." Ouyang Ming still advertised for his granddaughter, and then He explained with a smile, "As for my visit to Yamuda this time, don't you know that the annual rare treasures trading conference here is about to begin?"
"Exotic Treasures Trading Conference?" Ling Feng asked curiously, "I've never heard of it. This is my first time coming to Yanlong Principality. I just arrived in Yamuda today and I haven't even found a place to stay yet. This When will the conference start and what will be traded?”
"The conference won't start until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. Yamuda these days is much busier than usual. Not only will many prominent people from the Yanlong Principality come, but many people from surrounding countries will also come to participate in this event. Rare Treasures Exchange Conference." Ouyang Ming explained, since he knew that it was Ling Feng's first time to Yanlong Principality, he might as well explain it clearly.
"As for what will appear at the conference, it's hard to say. Judging from previous years' experience, there are still a lot of strange and weird things. It depends on whether you are discerning or not." Ouyang Ming suddenly moved his head closer to Ling Feng. , lowered his voice and said, "Last year, I got a right ascension stone here, the size of a fist."
The right ascension stone is one of the rare metal rough stones in the ancient continent that can be added with magical properties. The value of a fist-sized right ascension stone is no less than a seventh-level magic core.
"So, there will really be some rare things in this trading conference?" Ling Feng became more and more curious as he listened, and gradually became interested.
"That's for sure. If I don't have something to buy, there is no need for me to come all the way." Ouyang Ming said with some pride. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the right ascension stone he got last year. However, then he He said somewhat sadly: "Unfortunately, one of the best things last year, a high-level Warcraft egg, was not traded because it needed to be bartered, which makes people feel a bit regretful."
Ling Feng heard it funny. Looking at Ouyang Ming's expression, he must be regretting that he couldn't trade such a monster egg. But he still said it like he was wasting all his resources and feeling heartbroken. Ling Feng didn't tell the truth and asked, "Can't you use gold coins to buy the things you like at the trading conference?"
Ouyang Ming seemed to have acquiesced that Ling Feng was a young man from a big family who had not traveled much on the continent. He was also somewhat immune to the common sense questions that Ling Feng asked that everyone knew about ordinary mercenaries, so he answered patiently. : "In any trading conference, most things can still be purchased with gold coins. But there are also a large number of things that the owner of the goods has stated that they need to exchange for something, so they can only barter."
On the ancient continent, barter transactions are still relatively common. This is also one of the most primitive trading methods, mostly found in some rare items. Normally, there is no need to barter for things that can be easily purchased with gold coins.
As for the Rare Treasures Trading Conference, just like the auction in the Taikoo Continent, there are always some people flocking to it. It's just that the auctions use gold coins, and they can be found in any medium-level or above city. However, the Rare Treasures Trading Conference involves a lot of exchanges in the form of barter and has its own specific venue.
Just say that among the dozen or so countries surrounding the entire World of Warcraft Forest, there are only three venues for rare treasure trading conferences.
The largest one is the mercenary capital in the mercenary autonomous region just south of the Warcraft Forest. Every five years, a rare treasure trading conference will be held there. At that time, not only some princes and nobles will come to support it, but even holy-level masters may rush there to participate. Of course, the Mercenary City is one of the top ten cities in the Taikoo Continent, and its rare treasure trading conference is also of the highest quality.
The other place is the city of Milan in the Principality of Usili in the west of the Warcraft Forest. The rare treasures trading conference there is held every two years.
In addition, it is Yamuda City in Yanlong Principality. Among the three places, Yamuda City is the smallest. It is held once a year, and the standards are naturally slightly lower. But at this time of year, important figures from some surrounding countries still come to participate.
After Ling Feng learned this, he asked with some confusion: "Then why doesn't the Yanlong Principality arrange the exchange conference in a larger city?"
Ouyang Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think the Grand Duke of Yanlong Principality doesn't want to move this kind of conference to Yanlong City? At least that way, I don't have to go to Yamuda at this time of year. . However, places like this are basically formed by themselves after years of baptism. There were other principalities that were jealous of such trading conferences, so they held them in their own lands with great fanfare, and it only took place for a year or two. It can’t be done anymore. Not many people go there, and things are not supplied, so the gain outweighs the loss.”
After taking a sip of wine, Ouyang Ming continued: "Let alone a principality, even in the big cities in the empire, it is not easy to form a healthy rare treasure trading conference."
Ling Feng thought about it, this situation seemed to be foreseeable. Take the three places around the Warcraft Forest where rare treasure exchange conferences are held, which can almost form an equilateral triangle. And in terms of scale, there are also big, medium and small. It would be more difficult to get involved in other places.
