Miss Prince just brought Shad to the tavern, she didn't have anything to deal with. So after chatting, Xia De talked to the bartender that he wanted to buy currency [relics].

Relics are not so easy to find. Luvia buys such relics through the academy, the Prophet Association, and Tobesk's black market all the year round, but she cannot provide her with the "accurate divination" that consumes too much. That's why Xia De worked so hard to come to Lengshuigang City. The port city is well connected and has more opportunities.

"No problem, I'll help you hang up the entrustment. If there is any news, I will let you know when you come next time. But if the business is done, the bar will take a commission."

said the bartender.

"Of course no problem. By the way, do you have a consignment sales list for [Relics]?"

Xia De asked again, and saw a slender black cat lying on the counter. This is the cat kept in the bar. It seems to be taking a nap, even if the three of them are chatting aside, they don't bother him.

"Of course not, do you think this is a vegetable market? You asked, we checked the consignment sales list of the local ring warlocks, and if there is interest, we will introduce buyers and sellers to meet at the bar. The bar is only a broker and will not help you negotiate prices. Wait a mininute......"

The bartender said, looking down at the bar:

"You are lucky, there is really a currency relic for sale. But there is only one, and it is only poet-level. Are you interested?"

Although it seems to be lucky, but in such a big city, Xia De searched for the first time, and it is normal to gain something:

"Poet level? It doesn't matter, when can I see the seller?"

This kind of "luck" should be limited to this time. After he has searched around the city, he will have to wait slowly next time.

"The seller is in the tavern. I need to remind you that the other party is not a regular customer. He came to us for the first time after being introduced by a friend a week ago. He has been spending time here during the day, waiting for the ship to go to the New World. Therefore, the tavern It is not responsible for guaranteeing that the transaction is not fraudulent."

"I understand, how much commission do you want?"

"Small transactions are five out of one hundred."

The strong man behind the bar twisted his fingers.

"no problem."

Xia De nodded, picked up the glass of water on the bar, but thought that he was wearing a mask now:

"I want to see the seller. Also, regardless of whether the business is completed or not, the entrustment to purchase monetary relics will be hanging with you for a long time."

"You can only hang it for half a month, otherwise you will never come back. Does the bar always remember your commission?"

The strong man smiled, tilted his head and whispered to the young bartender beside him wiping glasses.

The latter nodded, left the bar, and went straight to the left wall. After whispering to the man who was sitting alone at the small round table and reading the newspaper while drinking, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked in the direction of the bar.

He has short, dry and yellow hair, and the eyelids are clearly turned outward. He didn't wear a mask, and he didn't wear any cover. The only thing that was special was that he wore a red glove on his right hand.

Saw Xia De and Miss Princes at a glance, Xia De nodded at him, the man thought for a while, gestured, and asked Xia De to go over to discuss business.

Miss Princes looked curious about what was going to happen next, but respected Shad's privacy so she didn't follow.

Xia De took a seat opposite the man, and saw that there were still handmade cigarettes, matches, a pair of Rhodes cards turned upside down, half a glass of beer, a plate of boiled peanuts, and a thin book on the wooden round table. Eye Adventure Guide.

In that kind of urban life novel with strong romanticism, middle-aged people with stories usually spend the whole day in pubs like this. But the man at the table is not middle-aged. Although he looks very mature, his age is probably approaching 30 years old.

There was nothing to chat between the two strangers, so Xia De straightforwardly explained his purpose of coming:

"I want to buy the poet-level relic in your hand."

"Only accept barter."

The man's voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been injured, but Delarion's language was surprisingly standard. He looked at Xia De with drooping eyelids, but because Xia De was wearing a mask, he couldn't actually see anything.

"Barter?"

Xia De shook his head. Currently the only [Endless Mercury Bottle] that can be sold is prepared for practical credits, and this item may be related to the destroyed [Mercury Blood]. Except for the academy, other sales channels are not available. Something could go wrong.

"I don't have any good things in my hands. You can set a price. I can buy what you have at a high price."

he said.

"High price?"

The man hesitated for a moment:

"What I have in my hand is a poet-level relic [Universal Currency]. Mix it with any two common coins of the same type and denomination, and it can be automatically transformed into surrounding coins. What price can you offer?"

Shad had heard of this relic, and had introduced it in his first-year course "Containment and Management of Relics."

The poet-level relic [Universal Currency] was first recorded in 723 AD of the Sixth Epoch Universal Calendar. The Church of Creation monitored the abnormal frequency of natural disasters in the southern city of Cassendara on the Old Continent. After three years of continuous investigation, it was discovered that this kind of relic was circulating locally.

The feature of [Universal Currency] is very simple. The positive feature is that it can be used as any other currency, and the negative feature is that once it is spent as a coin, the person who uses the coin will fall into bad luck for at least ten years.

After the earthquake in 719 AD in the Kasendara area, the entrance of the ancient tomb was exposed to the ground, so that the coins filled with ten large water urns flowed to the city. With the continuous circulation of these coins in the Cassendala area, more and more local people came into contact with and used [Universal Currency], which eventually led to a decline in the fortunes of people in the entire area, resulting in successive years of earthquakes, storms, and insect disasters. Wait for the result of frequent natural disasters.

Of course, although it sounds scary, after the church knew about [Universal Currency] and recorded it in the book, this relic was known as a common [relic] by ring warlocks. Therefore, as long as they touch it, most ring warlocks can recognize this kind of relic, thus reducing the danger level of the relic to the lowest level.

Because it's relatively common, and the relic isn't useful except for ring warlocks with psychic runes like [Fortune], its value is actually pretty low.

"How about ten pounds?"

Xia De suggested that the reasonable price should not exceed 9 pounds.

"20 pounds."

The man said, Xia De narrowed his eyes:

"You know it's impossible at this price."

"I just want to express that I am more inclined to barter. There are no relics under 10 pounds in this tavern, but you can take 10 pounds to find new relics elsewhere, and then use the new relics and me exchange."

The man suggested, motioning Xia De to think slowly, while he reached for the newspaper that had just been put down.

Xia De shook his head:

"I don't have time. I'm going to run around for something worth less than 10 pounds. I noticed that you have a Rhodes card in your hand. How about it? Why don't we play a game of Rhodes?"

"Oh? What do you want to bet on?"

The man said and asked, his eyes looked at Shad's mask, and his fingers on the table lightly tapped on the table.

Shad suggested:

"I win, then you and I buy that coin for £9. I lose, then I buy that coin for £20."

The man nodded after hesitating for a moment:

"Can."

"I need to confirm that the relic is on your body first."

"Can."

The man reached into his pocket, then took out a golden coin and placed it on the table. On the upward side, there are ancient runes representing "wealth". Xia De glanced at it and immediately got a hint of the "whispering" element.

"No problem. Let the bartender at the bar notarize, oh, you can call me Mr. Watson. By the way, I have no special cards in my deck."

Xia De said that he didn't want to expose his identity because of the Rhodes cards, but he wanted to use those cards to participate in the autumn "Big City Player" Rhodes card competition.

"You can call me Mr. Darkness, I have a special card in my deck."

Mr. Darkness put his hands together on the table:

"The days of waiting for the boat to sail are really boring. I'm glad someone wants to play Rhodes with me. Why don't we use some interesting rules, it's still the blackjack of Rhodes, but each person takes three cards each time, Two bright cards and one dark card, and then open the cards together. Two points for a win, zero points for a loss. If both parties bust, both sides will get 0 points. Discarding is allowed, 0 points for yourself and 1 point for your opponent. Wait until both sides have all After emptying the deck, the person with the most points wins. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

Xia De thought for a while:

"no problem."

Although this is time-consuming, there are only 54 cards in a deck, so no matter how slow it is, it will not take twenty minutes.

So the two came to the bar together and explained their thoughts to the burly bartender. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in this tavern, so the bartender readily agreed to do the notarization and charged both parties' bets in advance.

Xia De still didn't think it was gambling, he only thought it was a means of bargaining, so there was no psychological barrier to participating in the game.

The idlers in the tavern heard that someone was going to bet on Rhodes, and they all gathered here, but because they didn't trust the strange ring warlock, they just watched from afar. Only Miss Prince stood directly on the Xia De's chair, reached out to support the back of his chair.

The lady was not at all surprised that Xia De was going shopping, but suddenly wanted to play cards. Even when Xia De changed his deck and drew all the special cards, he naturally stood in front of him to help him cover up.

After both parties have sorted out their decks, they exchange decks for inspection and shuffling. Shad also saw Mr. Darkness's special card, which was the nine of the moon in suit, but it looked very new.
