Chapter 23 United Chamber of Commerce
Just by looking at the other person's face, Lu En could guess what he was thinking.
The United Chamber of Commerce is another enemy of the Hall of Glow.
In Lalante, if the Hall of Radiance is the stormy waves on the sea, then the United Chamber of Commerce is the turbulent undercurrent beneath the water.
The United Chamber of Commerce is a leader of the local chamber of commerce in Lalante, while the Hall of Glow is a cross-river dragon that entered the market jointly between the empire and the royal family of the Star Maple Kingdom.
The reason why he knew this was because he didn't sleep all night last night, but was reading the newspaper, which often contained news about the struggles between the two chambers of commerce.
The Hall of Glow controls the entire economic market in a sense, and may even guide the local government process. After all, behind it is the royal family and imperial funds of the Star Maple Kingdom, and they occupy a considerable part of the seats in the House of Lords.
, at the same time, almost all financial trade will be conducted in the Hall of Radiance.
The United Chamber of Commerce is much smaller in power, but they have the full support of the locals in Larante. The original Joint Chamber of Commerce was many local shop owners and street leaders in Larante, most of them were craftsmen or
Innkeepers, many of whom specialize in a craft or profession, or in a small group of closely related industries, were suppressed by the overwhelming power of the Hall of Glow.
Later, these local people united to resist the oppression from the imperial forces. The joint chamber of commerce was very loose, but also very united. These people took care of each other, shared news, working methods, discussed business, reminded each other to avoid fraud and theft, and joined forces to form an armed force.
Strength ensures security, and they have enough force to fight against enemies, or violently protest against the government's excessive taxes or the preferential policies of the Hall of Radiance.
"It has nothing to do with the United Chamber of Commerce. At least they can't face an ancient dragon. It's better to estimate it as soon as possible. There is no point in guessing my identity." Lu En's tone was slightly serious.
The fat man immediately became solemn, put away his unnecessary thoughts, and took the box.
"...The ancient dragon's blood is corrosive, very...very fresh, and has sufficient magic power, even as if it was released last night." When it came to freshness, the fat appraiser couldn't help wiping his sweat.
.
Fresh means it was freshly killed.
Dragon's blood is a rare alchemical material, a neutralizer for many kinds of medicines, and also a good magic solvent. People buy it at high prices everywhere. However, it has always been priceless and rarely sold. To meet someone like this
He was very surprised that one copy was authentic. The lowest market price was 3,200 Star Maple gold coins for a small bottle, and there were four small bottles in this box.
The same is true for other things. Although the broken dragon scales are broken, the basic material of the dragon scales is still there. Dragon scales are horny and have better resistance to strikes than steel. They are also very light and are made of armor.
Excellent materials, but the value of dragon scales is far from that. Through a complex magic process, the alchemist can inspire many properties on the dragon scales, including resistance to magic, water breathing, fire immunity, increased strength, etc.
, it depends on what kind of dragon the owner of the dragon scale is.
This scale is the scale of a black dragon, which can provide acid immunity and fire resistance. One piece can be sold for about ninety star maple gold coins, and there are a total of forty-seven here. This amount is enough to mix with other materials to make a
This is a piece of personal chain mail worth tens of thousands of dollars. It is definitely the best choice for big shots to protect their lives.
The core of the wind spirit is not so scary. The wind spirit comes from the air elemental plane and is mainly composed of smoke. The core can be used to make enhanced crystals. It can also lower the temperature when placed in the room. It can be used as an air conditioner. This one needs
About fifty gold coins.
The feathers of the hippogriff are a casting material for high-level magic and the main material for flying golems. They are expensive and can also be used as decorations on the heads of ladies. It is said that they can create small whirlwinds on their heads, which is very gorgeous.
The venom of the multi-headed snake, this animal has ferocious habits and its venom is highly corrosive and toxic.
The teeth of the thunder wolf can guide magic power and serve as auxiliary materials for the magic circle.
Drinking Chinese herbal juice can temporarily clear your mind and dispel fatigue.
The blood of the glazed rose. Dozens of twisted vines covered with thorns will spread out from the huge bulb of this carnivorous plant. A glazed rose will be born in it. After being picked, the blood will drip. This blood is a high-concentration magic crystal.
, useful in almost every aspect, and can be sold for seven hundred gold coins a drop.
In addition, there are many materials of lower-level monsters, which are just like licking the head, but together they are not as valuable as the dragon scales, which makes the appraiser who has been shocked feel boring and only thinks of the time of the sage.
After careful inspection, the appraiser finally raised his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to appraise this thing to your satisfaction, sir."
"Don't you accept it here?" Lu En frowned, this was unexpected.
"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that it would be a waste to get such things from a material acquisition store like ours. Even if we can collect them, the price will not satisfy you. It is better to go to another place and bid.
It’s much higher than our store,” the appraiser said.
"Where?" Lu En asked.
"Auction house, sir, would you mind putting these things up for auction? The combination of dragon blood and dragon scales will definitely get a good price." The appraiser said seriously, and at the same time, he organized the things.
, put it back in the box, closed it and politely returned it to Lu En.
"Auction? Do you want to pay me for advertising?" Lu En laughed.
The Hall of Glory did not hide its intentions. They did not dare to eat such a batch of goods for fear of getting into trouble. They were also worried that Lu En was from the United Chamber of Commerce, but they were willing to provide a venue for the auction.
In this way, they can draw commissions without taking risks, and can also use this to promote their auctions and attract people from the United Chamber of Commerce.
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Lu En knocked on the table: "Are you in charge?"
The appraiser became respectful: "As long as you, sir, have the intention in this regard, the authority is not a problem, and you deserve to be treated like this."
Lu En sighed. Sure enough, this place still depends on profit, so he nodded: "Then you should find someone who can make the decision."
He made up his mind, and this was his first step into the upper echelon of La Lante.
With Lu En's permission, the appraiser immediately stood up and left. Only Lu En, the shopping guide Bri, and two little girls sitting on the sofa were reserved in the room.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Please come in." Lu En said.
Then, the door slowly opened, and a refreshing fragrance hit my face.
