My farm does not raise idle dragons

No, boss, although I just said that you are not so generous, you don't have to show how stingy you are to your face!
Dina was speechless.

Lu Xi took a deep look at Clyde, and nodded in response. She always felt that the head of the mercenary group remembered it because she was too happy to ask for [-] gold coins that day, so she thought about it when she found a chance. Let her "spend money".

However, if there are too many lice, he is not afraid of itchiness. Eight hundred gold coins is a huge sum of money, and an extra silver coin and six hundred copper coins are nothing.

One of the silver coins is the price of the temporary magic pet certificate, five hundred copper coins are the price of bribing the guards, and the other one hundred copper coins are personal expenses for entering the city.

Thinking of this, Lu Xi couldn't help looking at Dina, "Is there such a big difference in the cost of entering the city between mercenaries and civilians?" It's a hundred times the difference.

Dina nodded, "Yes, most civilians can't earn hundreds of copper coins a year. For them, one copper coin is a day's expenses for a family. No amount of money is left. If you go to the city If the fees are too high, there should be no civilians entering the city.”

"Our mercenaries are different." Dina puffed out her chest proudly, "We can earn dozens of silver coins for any task we do." In fact, it's not that much.

Of course, although mercenaries make money quickly, they also spend quickly, such as potions for wound medicine, weapon repairs, and equipment purchases, all of which require money, and even elemental magic weapons, the price is directly in gold coins.

Even if it doesn’t cost you, you must have something to eat and drink. Most mercenaries are definitely not willing to eat black bread like civilians. Not to mention the white bread eaten by the nobles, you must have gray bread. The price is More than ten times that of black bread.

If you buy barrel wine, a few silver coins will be gone, which is enough to drink for two or three days. If you usually buy some vegetables, meat, clothes and daily necessities, the money will be spent like this.

Therefore, most mercenaries are actually not much different from ordinary civilians, but their quality of life may be better, and at the same time, they will encounter more dangerous situations.

"Let's move separately. We will meet at the gate of the city in five hours. Don't be late." Clyde took out a worn-out pocket watch from his pocket, opened it and took a look. It is now one o'clock in the afternoon, and five hours later it will be six o'clock in the afternoon.

Usually, the gates of human towns will be closed between [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m., depending on the geographical environment of the town, the time will change slightly, except for countries in the extreme north, basically no earlier than [-]:[-] p.m. .

Of course, Xiulan and Kagli were in a group, and they already had a clear goal. After saying hello, the two of them took the first step.

Lu Xi and Dina are left, and Clyde is naturally counted as a group, although Dina and Lu Xi can also be counted as a separate group, but the two girls, especially the good-looking ones, are easy to cause all kinds of troubles , still needs to accompany Clyde, who seems to be extremely intimidating.

"Where is Miss Lucy going?" Clyde asked Lu Xi's opinion. Xiulan was going to buy supplies, and their group didn't need to buy anything extra, just Lu Xi as the main one.

After all, the main body of this escort mission is Lu Xi, so it's normal for Lu Xi to focus on everything.

"If you want to sell something, where should you go?" Lu Xi thought for a while, she did have something she wanted to buy, but more importantly, she didn't have any money at hand, only the gems and jewelry on her body.

And sooner or later, she would have to exchange these items into money and pay them to the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group. The earlier she knew the value of these items on her body, the earlier she could make plans—such as what to do if she couldn’t afford the [-] gold coins.

Clyde guessed Lu Xi's plan, didn't show any other expression, just nodded, "I see."

He called over a clever little boy who was squatting on the side of the road at the city gate, and Clyde threw a few copper coins at him, "Where is the auction house in the town?"

"Mr. Mercenary, please go this way." The little boy put away the few copper coins with a smile on his face, and led the way attentively. Lu Xi and others followed.

The little boy never stopped talking along the way. He didn't inquire about the purpose of Clyde and the others, but just casually talked about the big and small things in the town, some of which were gossip news, and some were the latest confirmed public information. .

For example, which noble lord has issued a new reward in the Mercenary Association, what to find someone to do, or what new things the auction house recently has to auction.

Most of the news was related to Clyde's identity or destination, so no one told the little boy to shut up, and everyone was listening silently.

"Mr. Mercenary, we're here." The little boy stopped, not getting too close to the gate of the auction house. Even if he didn't say anything, everyone saw the words on it.

The auction house here is a three-story building, one of the tallest buildings compared to other houses in the town.

It's just that Lu Xi didn't seem too surprised... She can see buildings of this scale in towns on the earth, so it's really nothing special.

Even in the architectural style, there are not many refreshing places. You should know the place in her hometown, but you can mix and match any style of architecture for you.

On the contrary, it was the surrounding atmosphere, as well as the dress and behavior of the people around, that made Lu Xi feel a little fresh, like a holographic version of a Western fantasy game.

Clyde has been paying attention to Lu Xi, and when he saw Lu Xi, he was only interested in the people who came and went. He looked accustomed to the tall building of the auction house, and he confirmed Lu Xi's identity a lot in his heart.

Although Lu Xi's identity should have been confirmed long ago, some of Lu Xi's performances along the way always made people feel a little suspicious.

He gave the little boy more than a dozen copper coins, and Clyde waved him away, but the little boy didn't leave in a hurry, but nodded and pointed to a corner, "Mr. Mercenary, I'll stay there later, If you come out, you can ask me to lead the way, I know all the places in this city."

The tone is quite proud.

Clyde didn't refuse either, and nodded, "Okay, you can go there."

Lu Xi sized up the auction house, and couldn't help but ask Dina, "Why don't you go to the pawn shop and come to the auction house?"

"Although the auction house offers a relatively low price, it won't rip off customers. If the pawn shop doesn't know anyone, it's difficult to sell things at a high price." It was Clyde who explained.

There was another reason, which Clyde did not mention.

That is, the auction house has sufficient privacy protection, no one knows whether you are buying or selling, and there are basically no pawnshops, and even the people inside will collude with other black mercenaries to leak customer information.

Although Clyde is not afraid of trouble, it is better to have less trouble.

There were two waiters in front of the gate of the auction house, they stopped a few people very politely, and checked Clyde's mercenary certificate more carefully than the guards, and only let a few people in after confirming the authenticity.

Immediately after entering, a female waiter with a sweet smile came forward and asked the purpose of several people, "Do you want to buy something or sell something? If you want to buy something, you can go to the lounge on the second floor and wait for a while. "

"What about selling things?" Lu Xi asked directly.

The female waiter looked at Lu Xi and Clyde, and immediately recognized the identities of several people. She smiled brighter at Lu Xi, "If you want to sell things, please come with me."

But the female waiter was not in a hurry to lead the way, but looked at Clyde and Dina, and asked Lu Xi, "Are these two guests with you?"

"Myself." Lu Xi thought for a while, and rejected Clyde and Dina's following. She didn't want to wait until they knew about it if the money for the sale was not enough.

"Okay." The female waiter was not surprised, just like she could easily tell that Lu Xi should be a noble lady, not a mercenary, she could also tell that these people were not completely in the same group .

He beckoned in another direction, and immediately another female waiter trotted over, leading Clyde and Dina to another direction, which should be the waiting room just mentioned.

Lu Xi didn't observe any more, and followed the female waiter to a room on the third floor. The room was small, but it was well-equipped. There was a luxurious and soft sofa in the middle, and steaming tea was placed on the table. A woman wearing a single A thin middle-aged man with glasses is sitting opposite the sofa.

Seeing Lu Xi coming in, the thin, middle-aged man stood up and stretched out his hand towards Lu Xi, "Hi, miss, I am Wade, the second connoisseur of Warners Auction House."

"Hello." Lu Xi shook the other party's hand back, and it fell apart at the touch of a touch. He didn't introduce himself, and had several business contacts.

Wade seemed to have ascertained something from Lu Xi's actions just now, with a slight smile on his face, he didn't care about Lu Xi's failure to introduce himself, and waved the female waiter who led the way to leave.

Lu Xi sat down under the guidance of the other party, Weide raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Lu Xi, and then said, "Miss, do you have any items that you want to auction in our auction house."

"Some jewels." Lu Xi took out all his dozens of gems from his arms.

For a moment, Wade's eyes seemed a little disappointed, but he concealed it very well, and evaluated Lu Xi one by one.

"One gold coin." A bunch of pearls were pulled together. Of course, the price was for a single pearl, not for all of them.

Converted to the earth, it is 30 pearls, which is really not cheap. Of course, the quality is much better than that on the earth. Lu Xi is very content. With so many pearls, it can be sold for more than [-] gold coins.

"Ten gold coins." A small gem.

"22 gold coins." A larger gemstone.

"36 gold coins.", "Seventeen gold coins.", "Twenty gold coins.", "Nine gold coins.", "Fifty gold coins.", "Fourteen gold coins.", "120 and six gold coins."...

It seems that the value is not too big every time, but when you think about it carefully, the unit of gold coin is equal to "10 yuan" on the earth. It is normal for a gemstone to sell for 80 yuan. , or those with relatively high value, can be sold at a higher price.

Lu Xi silently calculated that so many gemstones add up to only have a value of more than 600 gold coins, which is not low, but it is still far from her needs... I should have known that I had bid [-] gold coins.

"A total of 637 gold coins. Miss, do you have any other needs?" Wade reported a number, which was not different from the result calculated by Lu Xi.

Wade unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was not the big order as imagined, the combined price of so many gems would not waste his busy trip.

Lu Xi began to recall what else he could sell. The pocket watch was not good. It had her picture on it, and it was very useful. It was very important to be able to determine the time at any time.

By the way, there is also a box of cosmetics with no traces of use, maybe it can be sold?
"Wait, do you accept this thing?" Lu Xi took out his gold handbag inlaid with huge gemstones from his arms, and took out the cosmetic box from the handbag.

Wade's full attention was immediately attracted by the pure gold handbag that Lu Xi took out, without even looking at the cosmetic box, he said in a slightly urgent tone, "Miss, you seem to be in urgent need of money, no Knowing this bag, are you willing to part with it."

"Our auction house is willing to offer three thousand gold coins!"

Oh? !Lu Xi was startled, and then he noticed that the bag in his hand exuded a strong light of money. Never thought that with so many things in her hand, this bag was the most valuable? !
"Or you are willing to keep this bag and let us auction it for you. Three days later, our auction house will have an auction. The auction price will be [-]-[-]% with you, and you will be [-]%. "

Seeing that Lu Xi didn't respond, Wade quickly opened his mouth again, it was obvious that he was very excited about Lu Xi's bag.

Lu Xi carefully considered that she would definitely not be able to stay and participate in the auction in three days' time. The time to travel was very tight, so it would be better not to waste it.

But the price given by Wade can't be completely trusted. Clyde said that the price given by the auction house is generally low.

What does this low mean? For example, for those pearls, the auction house can only give the price of 1 gold coin, but when they are taken to the pawn shop, they can give 2 or 3 gold coins.

Of course, if the pawnshop thinks that the seller doesn't understand or is easy to bully, it will charge a price of dozens of silver coins, or even lower, and it's all about watching people order dishes.

This aspect of the auction house is very good. Although the price they give is low, they will not deceive customers. They can guarantee that the customer will at least make a profit, but the auction house will not lose money, they will only earn more.

"Five thousand gold coins!" Lu Xi decided to negotiate the price carefully and raised the price again.

Old people often say that when you buy something, you can just pay half of it, and if you sell it for a hundred, you can ask if you want to sell it at fifty. Lu Xi thinks that the same principle is true for sellers. When he offered three thousand gold coins to buy, he doubled it and asked him six thousand Gold coins are sold or not.

However, Lu Xi felt that doubling might be a bit too much. She couldn't open her mouth a little bit, and she was embarrassed to speak, so she should be a little lower.

"Deal!" Hearing Lu Xi's bid, Wade didn't even hesitate for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and confirmed it, his face was full of joy.

Lu Xi's lips parted slightly, his eyes were a little dull, if it's over, if there is still less, it should be doubled directly, shouldn't it be self-assessing!
In fact, Clyde's original character design is not like this.

It should be more distinctive, but I can't write it out, so let's just write it like this. Anyway, except for the protagonist, no one else has much role in the play.

In addition, I always see comments saying that the progress is slow...

This book is actually a daily article, the rhythm is very slow, focusing on various daily life (to finger)
And even though it is already very slow and the writing is very detailed, I still feel that there are a lot of things that have not been written.

Temporary supplement: I just found out that the money calculation was wrong, and it has been changed.
