Chapter 206 West Street
Jacques stayed in the "Flower in the Heart" bar for two days according to his father's request, and helped manage the bar with Lily every day, listening to the mercenaries brag about their adventures.
Jacques could understand his father's intentions. Out of caution, he was not suitable to go out casually before Kane left York City. After all, he was a major weakness of his father.
Two days later, Jacques and Lily returned to Marian's house and met with their friends again, but learned that during their mission, Alisha and others received a windfall, several times the income from their hard work.
It turned out that Alisha, Fabian and Natasha lent Mr. Joseph and the hotel owner Ms. Sandra in Athabas for 20,000 silver coins to deal with the usury that came to the door to force the debt. They were supposed to return it after Mr. Joseph cleared the goods.
Later, because of the rescue of Martin and others, they had to leave Asabas as soon as possible. Before leaving, Mr. Joseph could not afford to pay back the money to them. Jacques casually said that he would invest the 20,000 silver coins as shares in Joseph's caravan.
After Mr. Joseph returned to York City, he immediately went to the business dealership with the Natasha family to inquire about their situation. The business happened to know that Natasha and others lived in Marianne West's house, so Joseph found them with his principal and income.
At that time, Alisha couldn't bear to see the widow Sandra being bullied and took action with righteousness. The reward she received at this time surprised her. Joseph sent more than 60,000 silver coins!
With a surprise gain, the girls of course thought of buying and buying. Lily and Jacques also came back, so everyone went to visit the largest alien beast plant trading market in the New World, West Street, at the suggestion of Marianne.
In addition to Grayfos, who was addicted to research, everyone acted together again, sitting on the blue painted steamer at West Street Market.
West Street Market is an old-fashioned building complex in York City North City. Most of the houses are wooden houses built by the first generation of New World immigrants. At that time, there was no popular fired bricks.
Most of these old houses have experienced more than 70 years of ups and downs. They were originally just underground markets spontaneously formed by the first generation of immigrants to exchange their own risk gains. Later, due to their reputation, they gradually became fixed alien beast spirit plant trading centers.
Some people with vision settled down the street houses and started a business of purchasing materials, and sold the collected materials to merchants from the empire. These materials finally came to the empire to fill the empire's bottomless pit-like needs.
Later, craftsmen and pharmacists who immigrated to the New World gathered on West Street. They purchased materials nearby, processed them into finished products and sold them for adventurers, gathering more popularity for the West Street market.
When the seven people and one cat came to West Street, it happened to be the weekend, and the whole street was crowded with people and was very lively.
Jacques was very planning. Before coming, he thought about his needs and bought some auxiliary materials to create Misilan armor. The armor he had originally made for him was destroyed by a strange beast bat in Kundu Town in the central region, but he failed to successfully trick a set of fish scale armor from the Lake God, so he had to rebuild it for himself.
Of course, by the way, I have to create a piece for Lily. As for the others, the armor they made for them during the Mist Forest Challenge are still there, and Marian and the fish scale armor are not needed to worry about it.
However, he still promised everyone that if anyone finds good materials, he can buy them and leave them to him to customize weapons or armor.
Everyone still agrees with Jacques' Mithril forging skills, and the long knife around his waist is the best proof.
But when going out with girls, what happens often is that they are easily attracted by other things, and then turn them into other stores, completely forgetting their important purpose.
Now, now the seven people are in an antique shop, facing Linlang blindly and various items, wanting to find some useful "baby" from them.
The owner of the shop is a mixed-race girl who always keeps smiling and has delicate facial features. Maybe there are no customers in the shop, or maybe it is rare to see a group of peers, so he accompanied everyone to "seek treasures" in the shop and explain the origin and uses of various items at any time.
"Beautiful lady, this priest who is said to be wearing a mask in the Golden Kingdom is an important prop for their sacrificial ritual. You can communicate with the gods! Price? I check..."
The little girl opened the small notebook in her hand, searched for it and said to Natasha, "Fifty years ago, my grandfather received it, worth 1,300 silver coins!"
Marian took the mask and weighed it, then carefully checked it, and said, "It's gold, but by weight, it's only thirty silver coins, one thousand three are too expensive! There's still a pit!"
The little girl still had a smile on her face and said, "Miss, this mask has special significance and efficacy, and of course it cannot be calculated based on weight."
Natasha put down her mask and said, "It's too expensive, too expensive, I'll take a look."
Jacques picked up a small wood carving from the shelf, which looked very similar to fat oranges. The wood was often played with, with a smooth and oily surface, so he asked the store owner for the price.
After looking through the notebook, the little girl with a smile said, "This is a wood carving toy, and the times cannot be verified. Our store has been collecting it for thirty years! It is not made of spiritual plants, but the wood is relatively scarce and the shape is very distinctive. The price is twenty-five silver coins."
Jacques handed the wood carving to Lily behind him. Lily observed it carefully and it was indeed quite like a fat orange.
So Jacques bought it directly without countering.
I completed a deal. Although the amount was not large, the girl was still very happy and smiled even brighter.
Natasha found another finger guard, and I don't know what animal's horns were an object in the shape of a finger ring carved. She pulled Fabian and put the finger guard against his thumb, which was the right size.
The owner hurriedly said, "It's indeed suitable for sir. This is made of a strange beast. The person who brings it and the arrows are shot in every way. If there is divine help, it will be very effective! Sincerely favor sixty-five silver coins!"
Fabian took off his finger protection and rubbed it in his hand. He used the source energy to check whether the material was really a strange beast material. The source energy could be retained in it. Although the remaining slightest, it can indeed prove that it was made of a strange beast material.
Although I like its shape, the sixty-five silver coins are a bit expensive. As for the 100-year-old hits, everyone knows it is just a gimmick. After a bargaining, the deal was made in forty-eight silver coins.
After everyone visited for a while, Marian fell in love with a clay pot and spent 200 silver coins, but she didn't even pay it back.
Alisha also chose an old-fashioned snuff bottle, which only costs fifteen silver coins.
After finally walking around, he was about to stop the team and leave. At this time, Pang Ju got out of nowhere, holding a simple ring in her mouth, put it in front of Jacques, and meowed.
Jacques and Lily's eyes lit up at the same time when they saw the ring. Jacques said calmly: "Oh, it seems that Fatty Orange likes this ring very much. How much does it cost?"
The little girl searched through the notebook several times, then searched carefully on the shelf, and said to Jacques embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, guest, I don't know the price. Otherwise, I'll ask my father to ask."
After saying that, he shouted at the back door: "Father, please come and see it."
There was a roar of the back door, and soon a middle-aged man with one-eyed eyes walked out. After asking about the situation, he picked up the ring and looked at it, and said to her daughter: "This, I collected it a few days ago, and I didn't have time to register."
Then he turned to Jacques and said with a smile on his face: "If the customer likes it, it will only be yours. My purchase price is 350 silver coins! Seeing that several distinguished customers take care of our business in this way today, I will not make a profit, so I will make a good relationship with the distinguished customers."
Jacques pretended to discuss with Lily, and tried to wear it for Lily, and finally decided to buy it. The group happily left the antique shop.
