Chapter 145: Magic Continent Trading Market 2
“So small.”
Xiao Yi Fei squatted in front of the cage, looking at the actual creature. He couldn’t help but compare it to his palm. It wasn’t even as big as his palm. It was quite cute, squatting in his palm.
The boss said with a smile, “Your Highness, this is a newborn Little Fire Dragon. Many hunters have lost their lives trying to catch it. Don’t underestimate it because it’s small; if you raise it well, it will definitely be a great help when it grows up.”
Xiao Yi Fei had liked it when he saw it in the picture book. Now that he saw it so small, although he was a little disappointed, he still turned to look at Sang Chu expectantly, “Sister, I want it.”
Sang Chu couldn’t help but laugh, “If you want it, then take it. Boss, how many Crystal Coins is it?”
“Your Highnesses have traveled a long way, and you were brought by Lord Liu Sang. How about this: originally, this Little Fire Dragon would sell for fifty Crystal Coins, but you can have it for thirty. What do you say?”
The price he quoted was actually still high; this little baby fire dragon wasn’t worth that much. However, when he had previously accepted Sang Chu’s Crystal Shards, Liu Sang had remained silent. Thus, he guessed that Lord Liu Sang didn’t care if they were being ripped off. Moreover, although this baby fire dragon wasn’t worth the price, its rarity was undeniable.
Xiao Yi Fei: “Then, then I’ll take it?”
“Go ahead, pay for it yourself.”
Hearing Sang Chu’s words, Xiao Yi Fei immediately smiled and quickly took out his card and handed it to the boss, “Of course, how could I let Sister pay for me again? Boss, swipe the card!”
With such generous words, anyone would think the money in his card was all earned by himself.
Seeing how he was completely enamored with the Little Fire Dragon, Sang Chu helplessly handed over a blank Magic Card, “Boss, please help my brother get some blood on this. He’s so reckless, I’m afraid something might happen.”
The boss quickly took the Card, “Your Highness, please rest assured. We have specialized Beast Tamers in our shop. I’ve already sent for one, and they’ll be here shortly to handle this for you.”
“Alright, what about you all? Is there anything you want?”
Lu Min Feng shook his head, but Sang Jing Wen looked at the picture of the snow-white lion with some interest, “Boss, is this Ice and Snow White Lion still available?”
It said sold out on the picture, but he still wanted to ask.
The boss glanced at it, “Oh, Your Highness, what a coincidence. The last White Lion was just sold. How about you take a look at this Scorpion Tail Lion?”
Flipping to the page with the Scorpion Tail Lion, seeing the snow-white lion with an incredibly long scorpion tail behind it, Sang Jing Wen’s spirits immediately lifted, “Bring it over for me to see.”
“Certainly, please wait a moment.”
Mu Xue: “Boss, can you bring this green butterfly over for me to see as well?”
“Of course, of course, please wait a moment.”
Sang Chu glanced at the butterfly Mu Xue had chosen. It was green and named Green Silk Butterfly. The magic description stated it could control wind.
Before long, the boss brought the Magic Beasts over. The Green Silk Butterfly was slightly cheaper at ten Crystal Coins, while the Scorpion Tail Lion was more expensive at eighty.
Sang Jing Wen looked at Sang Chu. Sang Chu directly handed a blank card to the boss, “Let’s take both of these. Have the Beast Tamer help drip blood onto them.”
“Yes, yes, Your Highness, please wait.”
The Beast Tamer had already arrived and was standing nearby. Seeing these people buying so many items at once, he knew he would get a good commission for helping with the Contracts!
The Beast Tamer took the cards and immediately began his work. Taming beasts was dangerous, so these Magic Beasts trapped in cages were all more or less severely injured or drugged, all to ensure they could be sold smoothly.
He squatted on the ground and first dealt with the Scorpion Tail Lion, which had the highest Combat Power. As he chanted the incantations, complex and strange Formation Patterns appeared within the cage.
The Beast Tamer took out a dagger, pierced the Magic Beast’s skin, then quickly withdrew it. After wiping the blood onto the card, he handed it to Sang Jing Wen, “Your Highness, please.”
Sang Chu handed the dagger to Sang Jing Wen, “Brother, just a little blood is enough.”
“Mm.”
Sang Jing Wen took the dagger and cut his fingertip. As his blood fused with the Scorpion Tail Lion’s blood, the Beast Tamer quickly dispelled the formation, and the Scorpion Tail Lion instantly vanished.
On Sang Jing Wen’s card, the blood gradually transformed into the image of the Scorpion Tail Lion, with the Rose pattern and his name still behind it.
Xiao Yi Fei and Mu Xue contracted theirs in the same way.
When the group left the shop, everyone except Sang Chu held a card in their hands. Even Lu Min Feng had one; he had taken a liking to a Flying Eagle later and bought it as well.
Liu Sang noticed that these people were truly wealthy. They didn’t even haggle. Whatever the boss said the price was, they paid it directly.
“Are Your Highnesses still planning to visit the Magic Beast market?”
Sang Chu: “I want a Wood Tribe Elf that can use Wood Magic. Where can I buy one?”
“Wood Tribe Magic Beasts are very rare. They are cunning and difficult to capture, so there might not be any.”
The boss who had seen them out heard this and quickly said, “Your Highness, I know where you can find one, but the price might be very high.”
“It’s fine, I’ll take a look first. If it’s suitable, the price is not an issue.”
The boss glanced at the Beast Tamer, “Then you stay here and watch the shop. I’ll accompany Your Highness on this trip.”
“Alright, Boss. Your Highness, Lord Liu Sang, please take care.”
They followed Boss Jin to a seemingly small shop at the end of the street. The owner inside was an elderly man, completely covered up, revealing only his aged eyes.
“Your Highness, this is the place I was talking about. This old man caught an Elf when he was young, and she was very beautiful, so he never wanted to sell her. Now that he’s old, he’s willing to part with her. However, the Elf is too beautiful, and many people want to buy her, but the old man is reluctant, so he set a very high price. It’s been three or four years, and she still hasn’t sold.”
“Oh?”
A beautiful female Elf?
“Old Ge, I’ve brought some people to patronize your business.”
Old Ge looked up at them. His eyes narrowed in displeasure as he caught sight of Liu Sang, “I’m not doing business with you. Get out.”
Boss Jin immediately knew something was wrong when he heard this. He quickly pulled Old Ge aside and whispered in his ear, “Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. These young people are from Rose City and have no connection to that place. Selling your Elf to them would be a great outcome.”
Old Ge looked at Boss Jin, then at Sang Chu, “You are from Rose City?”
“Yes, Boss. I am sincerely looking to buy an Elf, but I need to see the goods first. If it’s not good, I won’t take it.”
“Then only you come in.”
Old Ge only let Sang Chu follow him into the back room. He opened a strangely shaped Magic Beast cage, inside which lay a woman with a graceful figure.
Her skin was as white and smooth as jade, faintly emitting a pale green luminescence. Her deep, emerald green eyes were vacant and lifeless.
Her waist-length hair was a light green and slightly curled. Her pointed ears were adorned with a few blood-red gems.
She lay on the dry grass, giving off an unreal aura, as if she might vanish at any moment.
Thank you, my friends, for your monthly votes and support. I thought not many people were reading this novel, so I’m truly grateful for everyone’s support. I had originally planned to release more chapters after the PK event. Due to word count restrictions during PK, and because I’ve been experiencing a series of health issues recently, my backlog of drafts has run out. Therefore, I can only maintain two updates a day. More updates might not be possible for now, so thank you for your monthly votes and support. I will release more chapters once my health improves, to make up for the votes you’ve given me~
