On the first day of the Maixiang Month, the dazzling sunshine bakes the earth, and people are like toads in the shallow pond, lying limply in the shadow.
The owner of the food shop looked bitterly at the sky, feeling very sorry for the meat he could not sell. In this kind of weather, the most popular items were naturally mung bean soup and sour plum juice.
Rikka stood in the dense forest and turned to look at the Wonder House. She has been very bored recently, or she really doesn't like this sticky climate.
With no intention of hunting, let alone trouble with the mercenary group, Rikka quietly walked into the Miracle Plains and ran towards Ogu City, hoping that there would be a surprise for herself there.
The gray linen hood that had not been worn for a long time replaced the leather armor, and even hid the two meteorite swords. Like the most native local, Rikka slowly arrived at the secret market with sour plum soup in hand.
Eric, the owner of the four major families, a business family, and the market area, is sitting at home. He is very depressed these days, feeling like an old dog abandoned by his owner.
The original black market was liquidated by King Ogu, and even Poor Corner Alley was incorporated into it. Although Eric lost a lot of gold coins as a result, the key issue was not that.
With the establishment of the Secret Market, the first choice for people to buy and sell goods is naturally no longer the market area. Therefore, it has gradually become a pure vegetable and meat distribution center.
Eric is not an imperial minister. Although he is rich, he cannot influence the Imperial Council. But fortunately, the underground auction house is still the same as before. This seems to be what Woodleg Frey means.
As his influence decreased, so did his status. In desperation, Eric also spent a large sum of money to buy a shop in the Secret Art Market.
But the inventory in his hands cannot be compared with that of the nine principalities, let alone the rare treasures of the major alien races.
Sighing, Eric finally ordered someone to call a man because this man planned to take over his shop in the Secret Art Bazaar.
With the attitude that losing less money means making more money, Eric stamped his family's bronze seal on it and put away the dozens of crystal coins.
This person is the master of the black market, the high-level magician Tata. Since the black market was destroyed, he escaped with his wife and daughter after losing a child.
His current situation was very embarrassing. Although he had a lot of money in his storage bag, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death. So Tata came up with the idea of opening his own store, but he had not yet decided what to sell.<
/p>
Rikka was wandering around the city, Eric was bored at home, and Tata was in a daze in the shop. However, with the explosion of a magic light bomb, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Rikka squinted at the Secret Magic Guild, Eric opened the window and stuck his head out, and Tata gathered with the shop owners.
However, the bronze bell has not been ringing for a long time, which also indicates that the Secret Magic Union has something to announce, but it is not a major matter of life and death.
Sure enough, not long after, flyers floated into the streets and alleys. People picked them up casually, but their expressions after reading them were completely different.
In order to cater to the new market, the Secret Magic Guild launched something called "Flash Gold Card".
It is the size of an ordinary playing card. On the front is a character drawn with magic patterns, and on the back is a brief introduction to it in various languages.
Each "gold gold card" has a unique number, and as long as magic is injected into it, the three-dimensional golem of the character in the card will emerge.
Today is the first sale day of the Secret Magic Guild, so there will be two hundred sets of "gold-gold cards" about the powerful figures of the nine principalities.
From time to time, "gold-gold cards" of the seven alien races and twelve monsters will be released one after another. There will even be limited editions about ancient myths released in the future...
This news immediately caused a sensation in Aogu City. People were amazed at the price of the "Flash Gold Card" and curious about the intentions of the Secret Magic Union.
Collecting is a high-end thing that only nobles would touch. But the Secret Art Guild is going the opposite direction this time.
Because except for today, all "Flash Gold Cards" from now on will be packed in a candy box called "Lucky Bag".
Although the "lucky bag" is a bag of candies, its important purpose is to allow people to fairly obtain "gold-gold cards" through luck, rather than being able to collect them easily if you have money.
Rikka, who had nothing to do, took the flyer and turned to walk towards the secret market. One gold coin and one "blessing bag", and today there were a total of twenty "gold gold cards".
Rikka stood in line, constantly calculating how many "lucky bags" she needed to buy in order to collect all these "gold-gold cards".
Rikka is a severe patient in the late stage of "hamster disease", which can be known by looking at the things in the dimensional space in her belly. She likes to collect things, and she likes to collect strange and weird things even more.
"How many lucky bags do you want?" A magic apprentice asked with a smile.
"Fifty!" Rikka threw a money bag to the other party and took a lot of lucky bag candies.
The people waiting in line were not surprised at all, because the noble boy who topped the list bought a hundred pieces in one go. And one hundred pieces was the maximum purchase limit for each person today.
Rikka found a corner and quickly opened the lucky bags. Looking around, the entire secret magic market was like this, and there were even many alien figures among them.
"Hey, why is it King Augu again? It's really unlucky!" A noble girl cursed in a low voice.
"God's Blessed Knight Anthony exchanges for Archmage Yuri, two for one!" Another noble girl shouted loudly.
"Brother, do you want to sell this Farion card? Please give me a price!" A mercenary was holding a glittering gold card and giggled, but he was startled by the questioning voice next to him.
"Brothers and sisters, do you still want these candies? If not, can you give them to others?" a poor girl asked timidly.
Hot! One thousand lucky bags were sold out in less than two hours. The main reason for this is that people have too few entertainment projects, and the "gold gold cards" are very novel.
King Fernando of Ogu was sitting in a carriage, and beside him was the great mage Yuri. The two smiled at each other, and then quietly left.
This idea came to Yuri on a whim. After hearing this, Fernando nodded repeatedly, and even felt that if his second brother stopped being a magician, he would definitely become an outstanding businessman.
"It seems that this little thing is really a way to make money, but I have a question, why are there so many cards from King Ogu." Fernando asked, holding a gold glitter card of his own, and asked dumbfoundingly. p>
"Huh? Is it wrong to promote King Ogu? You have to understand my painstaking efforts." Yuri still looked tepid.
"Second brother, I think you did it on purpose. Those who drew the King of Ogu card will probably invade the palace." Fernando grinned, and then looked at "himself" again.
"But I'm quite handsome. Do you think someone will put my glittering gold card in the pillow and pray to meet me in their dreams every night?" Fernando asked somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Yes! Of course I will! Isabella must be the first." Yuri rolled his eyes, and the two of them had already entered the palace.
