Chapter 4 Fort Lee Town

The reason why the town of Fort Lee is called the town of Fort Lee is because there used to be an ancient castle called Fort Lee. Now the town of Fort Lee, the current mayor Baron Rex lives in the old castle.

When they arrived at Fort Lee, the sun was almost noon. Abel and Norman discussed it. They went to the church and spent ten silver coins to ask a priest to use "Healing Minor Injuries" to heal Norman's leg injury.

When he came out of the church and looked at the tall and solemn church, Abel couldn't help shaking his head. It was the church that made money. It was just a low-level magical technique, and he received ten silver coins. Ten silver coins are enough for an ordinary family for a month, but for a priest, it is a matter of a wave of the hand.

Then, under the guidance of Norman, he came to the shop for buying furs in Zhendong. When he saw the shadow leopard, the owner of the shop was very surprised. Except for a wound on the back, the shadow leopard was completely intact. Above is the very valuable Shadow Panther, and the boss bought it for 10 gold coins.

Norman was very satisfied with the price. Abel didn't know the market very well. Seeing Norman nodded, he agreed to the deal.

These 10 gold coins, plus one gold coin given to him by Zach, and the five gold coins he saved, make a total of 16 gold coins. The purchasing power of gold coins here is still very strong, which makes Abel always feel I have some money myself.

This time, he came to Fort Lee for a purpose. Abel asked Norman to buy goods himself, and he didn't want people to know what he bought next.

When I came to the Libao Commercial Firm in the center of the town, the signboard of the commercial firm was the silhouette of Libao Ancient Castle. The facade was very large. It was almost noon now, and there were not many people inside.

Abel came to the counter and looked at the goods inside. There were all kinds of daily necessities, as well as jewelry, clothes, etc. It was like a big grocery store.

"Are you Master Abel?" A fat middle-aged man walked out of the counter with a smile on his face and gave Abel a noble flower gift.

Although the other party's aristocratic etiquette is very non-standard and it is inappropriate to use a flower ceremony here, Abel politely returned the ceremony. It is difficult for ordinary people to learn aristocratic etiquette. This fat middle-aged man It's nice to be able to use the nobility.

"Yes, you know me?"

"I'm Tim, the owner of this shop. You have the logo of the shield of thorns on the corner of your shirt, and I also know your brother, Master Zach, so I take the liberty to call you." Tim added. A weird gift.

The shield of thorns is the coat of arms of the Bennett family. To become a qualified nobleman, remembering as many aristocratic coats of arms is the only way to go. In Abel's memory, Abel has accepted literature, music, and nobles since he was a child. Etiquette and heraldry are among the very important courses.

"Mr. Tim, do you have a single gem here?"

Tim is very happy for Abel to call himself Mr. politely. Although the second son of the young knight in front of him is not a nobleman, his identity is still very noble, and he respects noble people. , which made Tim feel better, and quickly replied: "Yes, Fort Lee can provide you with all kinds of gems, Master Abel."

Talking, Tim ordered someone to open a large box on the counter. There were several rows of gems in the box. These gems were very small. In such a small place, few people could afford gems, and the larger gems were different. Useful, won't appear in this kind of store.

Abel picked 6 rubies of the same color and size from the box and asked, "Mr. Tim, how many gold coins are these?"

"Just give 6 gold coins, Master Abel."

There was not too much counter-offering. Abel knew that this kind of shop opened by a businessman in this town would not charge random prices to his own people in this town, or to a direct descendant of a knight family, so he took out 6 gold coins from his arms. Hand it to Tim.

Tim took the gold coin in both hands,

Find a cloth bag to help Abel put 6 rubies in it, and then respectfully send Abel out of the store.

After leaving Fort Lee, Abel found an empty alley, took out 3 rubies from the bag, tapped them with his finger, and put them in the Horadric cube. He recited the synthesis formula again in his heart. To synthesize a gemstone of a higher level, if there is no mistake, after you click the synthesis button, the three gems should disappear, and you will get a big ruby.

Suppressing his mood, he tapped his finger on the synthesis button below the 12 grids in front of him. The 3 rubies emitted a burst of white light and disappeared, while a larger one appeared in the top grid of the Horadric Cube. The ruby, which was taken from the Horadric cube and looked at in the sun, is a beautiful gem, every facet perfectly reflects the brilliance of the sun, emitting a pure light, a crystal clear red, Glitter in the sunlight.

This ruby ​​is one step higher than the three rubies just now in size and quality. Although he doesn't know its value, Abel believes that the value is definitely far more than three gold coins.

Then I synthesized the second ruby, put two rubies in a cloth bag, and thought about where to sell them. I definitely couldn’t go to Fort Lee’s business. I also thought about it. I just bought 6 rubies from there, and it took a while. Went there and sold two better rubies, and the fool knew there was something wrong.

After walking on the streets of the town for a while, he saw an auction house in front of him. This was Edmund's auction house. Looking at the sign, Abel found its relevant information from his memory. Edmund Auction House is the largest auction house in the Principality. Basically, there is Edmund Auction House in every town in the Principality of Carmel. The 500-year history is the credit guarantee of Edmund Auction House. The Demont Auction House will auction some rare treasures, which are sought after by the nobles and rich people in the Duchy of Camere and the surrounding duchies.

"Edmond Auction House welcomes you, what can I do to help you?" A standard oval-faced beauty wearing a gorgeous dress made of silk from the East, with long golden hair, bright and clear eyes, without a trace Impurities, fair skin blew torn, UU reading www.uukanshu.com without any flaws, his voice was very soft and pleasant, and he gave Abel a noon greeting.

"Beautiful lady, I want to find someone to appraise the gemstone." Abel replied with a noon greeting.

From this etiquette, we can see the strength of Edmund Auction House. The correct etiquette is used at the right time. This is the standard for the nobility, and those who can use this etiquette proficiently have at least studied aristocratic etiquette courses. , these courses are not something you can learn if you want to, and without the corresponding identity, no one will teach you these.

"You can just call me Yvette, young and handsome gentleman, I'm the supervisor here, let's talk upstairs." Yvette knew when she saw Abel coming in that he was a person of status, So she did not let others participate in the reception, but received it herself.

In the living room on the second floor, after the two sat down, they were waiting for two cups of coffee. Abel, who had been away for a long time, couldn't help but pick up the coffee and took a sip. It was very good coffee, although he couldn't tell what it was. Where is it produced, but he still knows how good the coffee is. The family's economy is not good, and it has been a long time since I had such good coffee.

Yvette looked at the young man in front of him, who could be said to be a boy. The respect given to the noble does not depend on his age. The words that the nobles often say is the purpose of the auction house.

Abel took out the cloth bag from his arms, took out a ruby ​​from it, handed it to Yvette, and asked, "Ms. Yvette, please look at the value of this gem."

Taking the gem, Yvette carefully inspected the interior of the gem against the light. After a few minutes, she raised her head and said excitedly, "Perfect cut, perfect structure, no flaws, transparent light, this Do you shoot a ruby? I'll give you the highest price of 300 gold coins."
