Mage Veigar

Chapter 225 Free Trade Zone

A few hours later.

Vega came to Rodney Manor and successfully invited Celis to join the journey to the Professional Guild.

"My dear fiancé."

Qi Lisi stared at Vega with a dangerous look and said, "You took me out of the house without any explanation. Even though I am your nominal fiancée, I will feel quite troubled. Don't forget that we are just a cooperative relationship. Next, we have to win over a senior management. He will become a crucial chess piece."

"Let's put that matter aside for now."

Vega said very seriously: "Now accompany me to the Professional Union Free Trade Zone. I need you."

Wasting his time just to meet with a high-ranking member of the Chamber of Commerce?
Of course, Vega would never agree to such a thing. To him, it was just a high-level management, and if he disobeyed, he would just kill him. Anyway, he even dared to kill the only descendant of the Portland family, one of the top ten chambers of commerce.

"I need you."

After hearing this, Qi Lisi's mood improved, and even her steps became lighter: "Humph, for the sake of our cooperative relationship, let the manager wait for a few hours. Remember to make an appointment in advance next time."

"I know, I know."

Vega said a few perfunctory words, and he and Silis finally came to the Professional Guild.

Without any hesitation, Vega and Qilis went to the free trade zone immediately: "I need to buy awakening potions, but I'm afraid of buying fakes, so I need you to help me pick them out. Afterwards, I will personally help you win over the senior executive."

Hearing that Vega was willing to come in person, Silis was delighted.

Showing up in person as Vega can not only increase the success rate of winning over others, but also play a certain deterrent role.

Because a high-ranking official of the Chamber of Commerce is not as good as a rising star in the military. Even if Vega kills that high-ranking official, there will not be any trouble. With Vega's current reputation and influence, there are many generals in the military who are willing to come forward to protect him.

"It's a word."

Celis smiled with satisfaction, and then went to visit the free trade zone with Vega.

The free trade zone is very large. In Vega's opinion, the entire second-floor free trade zone is the main market, and those prop stores only occupy less than 1/15 of the area. Most people are more keen to visit the stalls with good quality and low prices. Even though they know that there is a high chance of buying fakes, those with unique vision and extraordinary luck can still find genuine products.

Watch along the way.

Veigar discovered that the goods for sale in the free trade zone were beyond imagination. From magic rune pages worth tens of thousands and high-level staffs worth a fortune, to some bottles and jars and ordinary weapons, there were people selling them. There were even people who painted a chicken with paint and pretended it was an extinct ancient monster...

"Take a look, take a look, each descendant of the ancient monster is worth one gold coin."

"This is a newly unearthed ancient high-level magic weapon. If you are slow, you will miss out."

"Low-level magic and low-level combat skill rune pages, one page for only 10 silver coins."

"..."

Vega didn't even glance at the merchants soliciting business, and walked straight forward. Finally, he found a stall in a corner with bottles and jars on it. There was a sign hanging next to the stall - Ancient Potions, Ten Times the Compensation if the products are fake.

"Old man, do you have any awakening potion?"

The bearded old man who was resting with his eyes closed moved his ears, but still did not open his eyes. On the contrary, his snoring became even louder.

Vega keenly noticed that the other party was pretending to sleep, so he deliberately said to Silis: "It turns out that there is nothing here. Let's go look somewhere else."

"Wait a minute, young sir."

Before Qi Lisi could reply, the old man woke up by himself: "If you are looking for the awakening potion, you have asked the right person. Do you know the only bottle of awakening potion sold from here a few years ago?" Vega's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "Could it be that the bottle of awakening potion was sold from you? Excuse me, old man, do you still have awakening potions? I am willing to buy it at a high price. Money is definitely not a problem."

That’s right, this is the main reason why Vega brought Silis here.

In addition to being able to help him keep an eye on things, Vega could also pay for them. His plan went smoothly.

But the old man's answer almost made him lose his breath.

"I'm not afraid to tell you!"

The old man said with a proud look: "At that time, that bottle of awakening potion was sold from my...next stall."

"..."

In this situation, Vega was speechless.

So he said to Silis, who was squatting on the ground picking things up, "Did you find anything?"

“These are all fakes.”

Qi Lisi put down the bottles and jars and said, "Especially the one you have in your hand. It contains just ordinary spring water."

Veigar looked at the "Prophet Potion" in his hand, which was priced at 1000000 gold coins, and quickly put it back on the stall. At the same time, he looked at the old man with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. Today he realized what a real profiteer was.

"I see you two are not fools, are you here to mess things up?"

After hearing Qi Lisi's analysis, the old man became unhappy: "You can distinguish all my things, don't you know that there is no awakening potion in this trading area? Get out of here right now, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Vega did not leave immediately. Instead, he pointed at the sign and said, "You wrote on it that if it's fake, you will get ten times the compensation. If this bottle of prophet potion is really worth one million, I want to see where you can get the ten million compensation."

"Ah!"

The old man looked at Vega with disdain and pushed the bottles and jars on the stall. "It's true that I will compensate you ten times if the product is fake, but when did I say I would compensate you? As long as you can pay one million, I will compensate you with one hundred bottles. Even if you take this to a civil court, I am still in the right."

Vega was speechless and could only take Silis away from the potion stall.

As expected, old ginger is still spicy, and businessmen are also more cunning as they get older. However, through this incident, Vega finally realized that the awakening potion is not a piece of cake, but a rare item that can be encountered but not sought after. His luck is not as good as the protagonist of the novel, who can get natural treasures wherever he goes.

With a feeling of regret, Vega complained: "In such a large trading area, is there no place selling genuine goods?"

"Of course."

Seeing Vega's gloomy face, Qilis couldn't help but smile, then pointed to the stall opposite and said, "The ones sold at that stall should be genuine, if I'm not mistaken."

Following the direction of Silis's finger, Veigar found a stall selling rune pages right in front of him.

Intermediate combat skills or advanced combat skills?

When you arrive in front of the stall, the first thing that catches your eye is a row of old rune pages, some of which are even damaged.

Veigar discovered that this stall was not selling magic rune pages but professional combat rune pages. However, these were not ordinary low-level combat skills, but mid- to high-level combat skills that required ten, twenty years... or even a lifetime to learn.

As for the price...

One silver coin per piece?
