Chapter 6 Cupping



So the two of them called a magic carriage and headed for the Magicians' Guild. The Magicians' Guild was located in the Oath Square, which was the second largest square on the West Coast. The entire square was in the shape of a hexagram and covered an area of ​​more than three hundred acres (a football field is about eleven acres).

At the south end of the square is the West Coast specialty center: Cross Market, to the southwest is the Daughter of the Sea Monument, behind is the tree-lined road leading to the West Coast City Government, and to the north is the Quote Art Museum. The most prominent symbol of the square is the bronze column in the center commemorating the president of the Magic Guild, Sharan, which is 50 meters high. The top of the column is a bronze statue of Sharan holding a magic wand and meditating, and the bottom of the column is surrounded by four roaring and flapping fire dragons.

At this time, most of the Oath Square was occupied by outsiders. Looking down from the top of the square, the square was clearly divided into areas, with clear markings for the camping area, drinking water area, dining area, and garbage area. There were also a large number of tents that looked like countless mushrooms blooming on the ground, and there was a bonfire in the center to help the campers dispel the moisture.

There are magic lanterns floating in the sky above the square. These light spots that seem to have their own life are floating slowly and irregularly in the air. They are colorful and look like a large number of large fireflies. They are very beautiful.

However, the use of these magic lights is not only beautiful, but also has the functions of lighting, warning, cultivation, etc. At that time, Du Yuqi thought that decoration, lighting, and warning were understandable, but how could cultivation be used? Isn't it a bit boastful?

As a result, he was always proud to tell him that the production of these magic lamps consumed a lot of magic power, so they were usually made by magic apprentices. They would often be so tired after making two that their magic power was exhausted, and some would even faint on the spot. However, there would be quite good benefits after the hard work, so it was often used as a test for magic apprentices.

After entering the Magician's Guild, I found that there was a different world inside. It was at least ten times larger than it looked, and it was completely different from the hustle and bustle outside. It was two or three in the morning, and there was no one on duty, but an armored magic puppet came over from the side, raised the sword and shield in his hand, and looked over vigilantly.

This thing is made using the principles of the Sky Sea Guard. A series of complex gases are injected into a sealed full-body armor, and finally alchemy is used to inject it with an artificial soul. Similar to a robot, it can execute some simple commands.

Every time it stepped forward, the magic wand drew some strange symbols in the air, and then the mechanical puppet's eyes flashed red, and it retreated to the side and stopped moving. Then a mechanical Hedel walked out from it, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

Following the mechanical Heder, Du Yuqi and Mei Mei were assigned to two small rooms. These small rooms were definitely not luxurious. There were almost no decorative furnishings, only tables and chairs for meditation, and the single bed was so narrow that it was difficult to even turn over. However, with the current situation of beds being hard to find on the West Coast, such accommodation conditions were already quite good.

When Du Yuqi got up in the middle of the night to drink water and go to the toilet, he found that the mechanical Hedel had been standing outside the door, responsible for leading Du Yuqi forward. Du Yuqi asked a few questions tentatively and found that this guy's intelligence was limited. Basically, he could only serve as a signpost. However, he had an extremely thick mace on his waist, which would definitely not feel good if hit. It seemed that his combat power was also quite strong.

After a night's sleep, Du Yuqi got up yawning, washed up, and walked out of the Magicians' Guild for a stroll. He saw that the people in the huge square were sparsely populated, with less than one-tenth of the people left the previous night. Those who were busy at this time were cleaners, transporting out truckloads of garbage in an orderly manner to keep the entire square clean.

"Did everyone go to the expo?" Du Yuqi thought to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Turning back, he saw Meimei walking out quickly. She must have walked too fast, so her face was flushed and she was a little out of breath. She said to Du Yuqi anxiously:

"Why are you still here? I just went to ask around for you. The Holy Temple has really spent a lot of money this time. I just brought back a list. Take a look!"

After listening to it, Du Yuqi took the list and was immediately surprised. It turned out that on this list, Remi's Assistance, Heaven's HP Potion, Warrior's Roar Secret Potion, Fighting God's Roar Secret Potion, Xuzu Royal Energy Secret Potion, Circus Eagle Eye Potion, Dominant Armor Potion, God's Protection Potion and other extremely rare alchemical medicines were all listed.

These potions all require brilliant cosmic souls in exchange, and some potions (super armor potions) can even be exchanged at a ratio of 4:1, which is really a good deal.

After Du Yuqi glanced through it briefly, he would always urge him anxiously:

"Hurry up, hurry up. If you go too late, the good stuff might have been picked up by others! I even asked an acquaintance for help, so that I can directly meet the high-level officials in the temple. Although I have to pay a little bribe, I can get more kinds of things in exchange... Huh? Why don't you leave?"

Du Yuqi stopped at this time and pondered:

"Well, I suddenly feel that we don't need to rush. Good things are worth waiting for. Whenever you go and ask, when did the temple start offering this kind of promotion?"

Every time he was stunned, he said:

"Don't delay any longer. If you delay any longer, the senior management will probably go into seclusion to cultivate!"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"It's okay, go ask."

Every time he stamped his feet, he had to run to find out, and then told Du Yuqi that the news was released two days ago.

Du Yuqi calculated that the Expo had already started for four days, and the news released by the Holy Temple two days ago was quite subtle! Undoubtedly, the transaction volume should be the largest in the first three days of the Expo, but the Holy Temple did not even make it through the first three days. On the third day, they could not wait to release the news of price cuts and big discounts... Haha, this shows that the brilliant universe souls they acquired were far below expectations, and they had to play the price cut trump card of drinking poison to quench thirst.

After understanding the interests involved, Du Yuqi's smile became even more intense, and he simply called out to Changmei:

"Well, every time, I suddenly realized that I could practice faster without the right weapons, so let's not rush and wait a while. Let's go to the expo first."

Every time he opened his big eyes with clear black and white, he said nervously:

"But, but what if I go too late and all the good stuff is gone?!"

Du Yuqi laughed loudly and said:

"I've chosen, and that's it. I'm just unlucky. Besides, when swordsmanship is practiced to the extreme, the requirements for weapons are not important. Look at the Sword God Liang Yue. He can kill people in the midst of thousands of troops with just a branch with a caterpillar on it, and he kills people with a clear sword!"

"And now that I have made the current situation clear, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the temple, and don't leak any news to the outside world. You should also pretend that you don't know about any strange things I do in the future. Let's go to the expo first and see if there is anything you want."

Since Du Yuqi said so, I naturally put all these anxieties and worries behind my head and went to the expo with him. For Du Yuqi, who had been exposed to the extremely developed commercial culture on Earth, this expo was actually just a large-scale temple fair. It was just that the goods were slightly different, and the temporary tents had a unique feel. The rest were all the same, so I didn't feel very excited.

Even she would sigh after strolling for a while, saying that it didn't feel like the last time, and it was not as interesting as strolling in Qianda Plaza on Earth. This time she came here to buy the zero-gravity fragments produced uniquely in the Hanging City. This thing could be said to be everywhere hundreds of years ago, but after the disappearance of the Hanging City, its price began to soar, and now it is out of stock. Every time she came here, she just wanted to try her luck.

But this is a once-in-a-decade expo after all, and many people are eager to make a fortune here, so after walking around, they really found this thing, but the boss refused to sell it and played a very shameless lottery. And this boss also wore a strange jar on his head, yes, he is a member of the profiteer jar family - fire cupping!
