Chapter 8: Commercial street and auction house
In order not to attract attention, Liam Smith deliberately changed into ordinary clothes, and then walked out of the courtyard, across the bridge, in the direction of the Smith family gate.
On the way, it was inevitable to meet disciples of the same race, and a few of them even laughed loudly.
Liam Smith ignored them all and went his own way. To him, these people didn't deserve to be angry, and what was it for them to be happy for a while? As long as you have a strong cultivation in the future, this group of wall grass has to shut up.
Out of the gate, the front is a few feet wide stone road, maybe because the Smith family is located here, there are not a few pedestrians on the road, inevitably some colds appear.
After walking along the stone road for about a cup of tea, the front suddenly widened, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and many inn and restaurants began to be seen.
After a few turns down the street, Liam Smith stopped at a place where the view was full of shops and countless people were passing through, many of them Shouting loudly. There was a lot of noise, but a lot of excitement.
Here is the famous Commercial street in Silvermoon Valley, in fact, it is a huge commercial center, where there are all kinds of shops, as long as you can think of things can be found here. Has always been one of the more prosperous areas in the Silvermoon Valley.
There are seven or eight Commercial streets like this in Silvermoon Valley, big or small, which are controlled by several major families in Silvermoon Valley respectively. Every shop here will hand over a certain percentage of Soul crystal to its family every once in a while. It's rent.
As the master of Commercial street, each family will arrange guards in their own jurisdiction of Commercial street to ensure the safety of Commercial street and avoid trouble-making.
The Commercial street Liam Smith came to is a Commercial street under the name of the Smith family. He came here with his grandfather five years ago, but he has a little memory of it.
"This is Commercial street? Liam Smith heard Alistair's voice in his head.
Liam Smith said with a faint smile, "I didn't think Shifu knew Commercial street."
"I haven't seen Commercial street in years. It's a great place to do business." Alistair said.
Liam Smith gloated, "I think so too."
As Liam Smith and Alistair talk, a group of people dressed in Smith family costumes walk towards him a short distance away.
It was a no-brainer that this must be the Smith family's guard on Commercial street.
At the head was a tall, middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the group.
At the moment, he seems to have his eye on Liam Smith in the crowd and leads a small group of people towards Liam Smith.
Liam Smith's biggest fear now is running into a member of the Smith family, as he doesn't think it's a good idea to meet someone from his own clan. So he quickly turned around to hide himself, but in the end he could not escape.
Moments later, a small group of people had come up behind Liam Smith, and the leading middle-aged man looked at Liam Smith for a few moments and suddenly exclaimed, "Little master?"
"Huh?" Liam Smith gives a little shock. Young master? Are you calling yourself?
Liam Smith turned his head slightly with curiosity to see the middle-aged man looking at him with delight. Then you can be sure that the other person is really calling you.
However, the next moment the middle-aged man seemed to realize something, raised his right hand, and told the group of men behind him: "You go to other places to patrol, and the captain is here to deal with some things."
The rules of the Smith family are extremely strict, and none of the players dare to say no. After saying "yes" in unison, they turn and leave.
"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Liam Smith asked carefully.
"My dear young master, Marcus was promoted by the Third Elder to be guard captain of this Commercial street." "The young master may not know the subordinates, but the subordinates know the young master you, you and the young master look too similar."
Liam Smith knows that the young master in his middle age is his father.
What Liam Smith didn't know was that there were still people in the Smith family who respected him so much.
With a wink, Liam Smith said, "Uncle Marcus." Although Liam Smith does not have such a person in mind, since his grandfather brought it up, it must be a trusted person, and Liam Smith does not have to hide it.
"The young master's words are heavy, and his subordinates are not worthy of being taken seriously." Marcus doesn't say yes. He says no.
"What do you dare to be? You were promoted by my grandfather, so I call you Marcus Uncle is also justified."
"Thank you little master for your love, and your subordinates will surely devote themselves to death." Marcus is respectful.
"Uncle Marcus, you're welcome." Liam Smith waved his hand.
"I wonder why the young master came to Commercial street this time. If there is a need for subordinates, subordinates will do anything."
Liam Smith, of course, won't say that he came to Commercial street to sell Soul Spirit potion nostrum, so he says, "No, I'm just looking around."
"If the young master does not mind, how about the subordinates taking the young master around?" They know this Commercial street pretty well." Marcus is very enthusiastic.
For the first time, Liam Smith resisted the enthusiasm, forcing a smile and waving his hand as he politely refused: "Don't bother Uncle Marcus, I'll just walk."
"No trouble. It's a blessing to show the young master around." Marcus didn't get the hint that Liam Smith wanted him to leave.
Liam Smith gave a dry cough and said: "Grandpa said that people who maintain the security of Commercial street, like Uncle Marcus, are burdened with heavy responsibilities, and everything should be focused on the safety of Commercial street. I think I am embarrassed to bother Uncle Marcus?"
This time Marcus could hear Liam Smith's implication, pat his forehead and suddenly realize: "The subordinates are stupid, they didn't understand the meaning of the young master, and please don't blame the young master."
"Uncle Marcus speaks too strongly." Liam Smith smiles.
"In this way, the subordinate will retire first, and the young master will be careful." Marcus saluted with his fist.
"Don't worry Uncle Marcus." Liam Smith nodded.
As Marcus turns away, Liam Smith is relieved. If Marcus had followed him, there would have been no Soul Spirit potion nostrum.
If Marcus finds out, he may be hauled in front of some elder men and questioned by the Smith family. Even if Marcus promises not to tell, Liam Smith will not take such a big risk.
After seeing Marcus completely disappear around the corner, Liam Smith walked off and started to wander around the shops of Commercial street. The purpose was to find a pharmacy, only pharmacist would sell this Soul Spirit potion nostrum, and only pharmacist could understand Soul Spirit potion nostrum, if it was replaced by other pharmacist, it would have been thrown away as a piece of scrap paper.
After walking for a long time, Liam Smith finally found the only medicine shop in the most corner of Commercial street. The shop did not know whether it was bad management or bad business. There was only one footboy watching the shop in the whole medicine shop.
Seeing Liam Smith enter, footboy suddenly brightened up with a smile, quickly nodded forward and asked Liam Smith to sit down, and then asked: "I wonder what you want to buy?"
"This little brother you misunderstand, I am not here to buy things, I am here to sell things." Liam Smith explains.
'Oh? footboy's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "I wonder what the guest has, might as well take it out first."
Rather than whip out the Soul Spirit potion nostrum, Liam Smith asks: "But pharmacist?"
"pharmacist?" Upon hearing Liam Smith's question, footboy suddenly realized that it was not a big deal and was slightly surprised. He looked at Liam Smith carefully and slowly shook his head and said, "I'm just a medicine boy."
"Do you have a pharmacist?"
"My teacher is pharmacist, but he is not in his shop at the moment, so if you have no urgent need, you might as well sit down and wait for some time."The footboy was respectful.
"How long will your master be back?"
"I don't know, maybe half an hour or so."The footboy's eyes were twinkling.
Liam Smith knew footboy wasn't telling the truth, and he didn't think the pharmacist would come back for another hour. Liam Smith didn't want to waste any time there, so he got up and said, "pharmacist's not here, so I'll come back next time."
"Your Excellency will not wait?" The footboy looked worried. Obviously, he knew that the young man in front of him must have a good deal, but now he had to look at the shop, and could not spare the time to find the master. It's a bit of a shame to see a business slip away like that.
"I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave." Liam Smith then got up and started to walk out.
footboy stopped Liam Smith before making a mistake: "Just a moment, Sir."
'Why? Liam Smith's eyes chill. Is this footboy trying to force himself to stay?
Perhaps seeing Liam Smith's cold eyes, footboy smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand me, I have no other meaning, I just want to tell you that you can go to the auction house if you really have something urgent to sell."
Liam Smith saw that the footboy was not malicious, his eyes closed, and he said doubtfully: "auction house?"
"Yes, to tell you the truth, this is a branch of auction house and my teacher is the third Class Pharmacist employed by auction house." footboy looked pleased when he spoke of his master.
"Third Class Pharmacist? Liam Smith was slightly surprised to learn that the best pharmacist in the whole Sunshine Federation was a sixth class pharmacist. A third-class Pharmacist in Silvermoon Valley is quite a man.
But Liam Smith doesn't care. All he wants to do now is sell his Soul Spirit potion nostrum in exchange for his Soul crystal Cultivate, giving footboy a little salute: "How can I get to the auction house, brother?"
footboy was kind enough to explain the location of the auction house to Liam Smith in detail, and the shortest way to get to the auction house.
Liam Smith thanked the footboy and walked out of the shop, following footboy's instructions towards the auction house.
