This open-air market in the outer city of the Capital of Kings is extremely large, so it is divided into many trading areas.
If someone who is unfamiliar with the situation rushes in, they will definitely get lost in it and become confused.
But Shen Ze was obviously a frequent visitor here. He led Gao Jing around left and right, and without spending too much time, they arrived at the so-called riding trade area.
The riding and trading area is composed of circles of large and small animal pens, with tents scattered among them.
In these animal pens, there are riding beasts such as pack beasts, wind wolves, wildebeests, chocobos, and rock elephants.
Most of the riding beasts have been domesticated since childhood, and are controlled by beast-taming talismans, so you can ride them as long as you buy them back, which is very convenient.
But if you want to choose what you need among thousands of riding beasts, it depends on your eyesight and experience.
In this regard, Shen Ze's experience is not much more than Gao Jing's.
He found a broker on the roadside who was familiar with the business.
Brokers are the most common presence in various trading areas of the open-air market.

They are basically all local gangsters. Their job is to recruit customers for the cargo owners, and they all have vicious eyes.
To Shen Ze and Gao Jing, who were wearing wizard robes, the local snake showed great respect: "Two wizards, do you need anything?"
Shen Ze pointed at Gao Jing next to him and said, "My friend needs a dragon blood horse."
"Dragon blood horse?"
The local snake's eyes suddenly lit up: "No problem, I will take two adults over to see it now!"
There is also a distinction between superior and inferior riders.
Among all the riding beasts, the dragon blood horse is not the fastest, nor is it the most hardworking, and its own combat effectiveness is also very average.
But the dragon blood horse is the noble among riding animals, and its price is very high.
Shen Ze named him to buy a dragon-blooded horse, which was undoubtedly a big deal for this local snake.
As long as the transaction is facilitated, he will naturally receive generous commissions as a broker!
"Don't worry."
Shen Ze took out a badge from his pocket with a smile and hung it on his chest.
Like Gao Jing, he has the academy badge on his wizard robes.
But the shape and pattern of this badge are completely different.
The local snake broker's eyes suddenly changed.
He bent down and showed a flattering smile: "It turns out to be the master of the Shen family. The villain has taken the liberty."
"Ignorance of guilt."
Shen Ze waved his hand: "Take us to see the Dragon Blood Horse."
The broker nodded and bowed: "Okay!"
Gao Jing looked on coldly and saw some clues.
At the beginning, this guy obviously regarded him and Shen Ze as fat sheep and was ready to drag them to be "slaughtered."
After all, both of them are young, and they are wizards known for their wealth, so of course they are both free and easy.
But after Shen Ze showed his family crest, the other party immediately realized that his wishful thinking had failed.
A wizard without heels and a descendant of a seventy-two aristocratic family are completely different things.
If the former is offended, he will be offended. In the area of the Capital of Kings, even the great wizard cannot act arbitrarily.
If you get ripped off in a big market, it's up to you to keep an eye on yourself, don't bother with the broker.
And if a child from an aristocratic family suffers a loss here, the local boss will happily hand him over to light a candle!
Those guys who don't know whether to live or die have long been buried in the wilderness.
The broker Shen Ze found was undoubtedly a smart man. He led the two of them to a remote corner of the trading area.
There is a small horse farm here, which is divided into dozens of small animal pens with metal railings. Each animal room has a horse - a dragon blood horse!
Gao Jing's attention was immediately caught.
On the way here, Shen Ze told him that dragon blood horses are divided into two categories: pure blood and mixed blood.
Most pure-blooded dragon-blooded horses are bred by wealthy families for generations. They are usually only used by the family or given as gifts, and are rarely seen on the market.
Occasionally one or two appear, and they often fetch sky-high prices.
Among them, the dragon blood horses produced by the Huang family are of the highest grade and are also very powerful.
The dragon blood horses sold in large open-air markets are basically mixed blood, and the quantity and price are undoubtedly much more affordable.
But there are also many types of mixed-breed horses, and it takes a lot of discernment to choose a good one.
The most obvious difference between a purebred horse and a mixed-blood horse is the color of its hair and eyes. The coat color of a purebred horse is white and its eyes are red. The purer the color, the better.
There are all kinds of mixed-blood horses, red, maroon, black, gray, tawny...
To name a few.
In fact, horse selection is also a profound knowledge!
It can be said that Gao Jing knew nothing about this and let Shen Ze help him choose.
Relatively speaking, he is more experienced.
Xilulu~
Just as Gao Jing was following Shen Ze in choosing a horse, a neighing sound suddenly came from the side.
Accompanied by a loud banging sound!
Gao Jing couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a dark red horse in a small animal pen not far from him, hitting the railing in an extremely violent manner, trying to rush out.
Its anger and mania are in sharp contrast to those docile similar creatures around it!
Gao Jing's heart moved and he immediately walked over.
Also rushing over at the same time was the owner of the racecourse. He held the beast-controlling talisman menacingly and yelled at the mixed-breed horse!
Under the control of the beast-controlling talisman, the rebellious half-breed horse shook its head, breathed out from its nose, raised its front hooves and stepped hard up and down, looking very painful.
This is the punishment from the racecourse owner!
After realizing that he could not resist, the wild and untamable mixed-breed horse curled up and lay on the ground.
But there was still anger in his dark eyes.
Gao Jing asked: "How to sell this horse?"
The owner of the racecourse was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master Wizard, this horse was just captured and has not been fully tamed yet. I will give you..."
If it were an ordinary customer, as long as he was interested, he wouldn't care about selling it out.
Anyway, there is a beast control talisman, so you can't run away while riding a beast.
But he had been reminded by the broker just now and knew that these two wizards were not easy to mess with, so he did not dare to hide anything.
Although most riding beasts are domesticated from childhood, some are captured and domesticated in the wild.
Although there are beast-taming talismans that can be directly controlled, the racecourse owner does not dare to sell them easily until they are fully tamed.
In particular, customers are people who cannot be offended.
Gao Jing waved his hand, telling the other party not to promote other dragon-blooded horses to him.
He strolled to the front of the animal pen and reached out to touch the wild horse's head.
The racecourse owner hurriedly shouted: "Sir, be careful!"
The beast-controlling talisman is in his hand. Gao Jing is so ignorant that if he is bitten, he will be the unlucky one!
However, the half-breed horse who was extremely irritable just now did not attack and allowed Gao Jing's hand to fall on his head.
