Please be my partner.

Gradually, the desert turned into Gobi, and plants began to grow more.

After crossing a hill, the area in front of us turned into a hilly area. After walking for nearly a day, a majestic city appeared at the end of the sight. This is the city where the Blue Crystal Clan, the current dominant race in Tianfeng Territory, lives, Blue Crystal City.

As we got closer to the Blue Crystal City, we began to encounter all kinds of races on the road, including many humans.

Although the exchange fair was organized by the Blue Crystal Clan, it was not held in the Blue Crystal City, but in a specially built Acropolis not far away.

Although it is called an exchange fair, it is actually more like a large material distribution center where all ethnic groups can set up their own stalls to sell the goods they bring.

Of course, this also applies to forces and individuals.

The prerequisite is to pay sufficient management fees.

In addition, during the exchange meeting, the Blue Crystal Clan will also hold auctions at fixed times. Generally speaking, the exchange meeting lasts for one month, and the auction is held every ten days, for a total of three times.

If you have a rare item, you can submit it to an auction house for auction. Although the handling fee will be higher, it can usually be sold at a higher price.

Following the flow of people, the group entered the Blue Crystal City.

A weak tribe like the Spirit Rabbits naturally had no fixed place to stay, but fortunately some of their tribesmen had arrived in advance and booked a small hotel for them to stay in.

The rabbit elder knew that Mellen was a lonely man, so he invited him to live in the hotel, where they had a vacant room.

Melen thought about it and did not refuse. After all, the Spirit Rabbit Clan was somewhat of a local tyrant, and it was much better than him being completely in the dark.

After arriving at the hotel, the Rabbit Tribe began to get busy, while Melen said hello and went to tour the Blue Crystal City.

Arriving in a new area, Melen started by tasting the local food as usual, and also witnessed the scenery that was a blend of different styles.

There were still two days left before the exchange fair actually began, and the entire Blue Crystal City was already bustling with activity. Humans, purple-skinned elves, brown-skinned orcs, giants clad in animal skins, and dwarves driving small vehicles...

Of course, there is also the overlord of Blue Crystal City, the Blue Crystal People.

Although the Blue Crystal Clan are spiritual beings, they look similar to humans, except that they have a blue crystal on their foreheads and their eyes are like sapphires. It is said that the blood flowing in their bodies is like blue crystal threads. Therefore, their crystal skin will have a blue halo, which makes the Blue Crystal Clan very easy to identify.

Mellen was eating a sticky food that looked a bit like octopus tentacles. Although it looked disgusting, it actually tasted pretty good once you accepted it.

Suddenly, I felt the crowd on the street quickly separate to both sides.

Mellen also followed the crowd to the side and then looked out to see what was happening.

Then, two exquisite blue crystal people who looked like porcelain dolls were seen walking towards this side, surrounded by many guards of different races. In front of them, there were naturally guards who dispersed the crowd in advance to avoid disturbing the two blue crystal adults.

Melen guessed that these two Blue Crystal people might also be important figures in the Blue Crystal tribe, because some Blue Crystal people on the road were also among those being driven away, and they looked at the two of them with envy and awe.

After listening to the discussions around him, Melen roughly understood that these two members of the Blue Crystal Clan were a pair of famous twin sisters. They were extremely talented, their parents were both legendary powerful people, and they even had the blood of the Saint Ancestor. They were simply the chosen ones of heaven.

The two sisters walked by, talking and laughing, completely oblivious to the commotion around them, as if they were used to it.

Mellen shrugged, waited for them to pass, and continued his food tour.

At night, returning to the inn where the rabbit tribe lived, Melen found the rabbit elder who seemed to be writing in an account book.

Seeing Mellen's arrival, Elder Rabbit stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile, "How is it? Blue Crystal City is pretty good, isn't it?"

Mellen nodded and gave a fair evaluation: "Prosperous!"

Then, he explained his purpose: "Actually, I came to the exchange meeting this time because I want to buy something. I hope the Spirit Rabbit Tribe can help me keep an eye out for it."

The elder rabbit nodded and said, "It's a small matter. What do you want?"

Mellen said: "Dimensional matter."

The elder rabbit almost lost his grip on the pen. He had naturally heard of the name of dimensional matter, but he didn't expect that Melen, who looked to be only at the third level, would want to buy such a precious thing.

The rabbit elder calmly observed Mellen's expression and said without hesitation, "Okay, we have to deal with many tribes anyway. If we hear about any dimensional materials for sale, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

Melen expressed his gratitude, chatted with the rabbit elder for a while, and then left.

After Mellen left, Elder Rabbit looked at the account book in front of him with a pen in hand, but he did not write. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Chapter 225 Auction and News from the Blue and Green World

Soon the day of the exchange meeting arrived.

In the past two days, the Spirit Rabbit Clan has delivered the goods to a store that was rented in advance. Although the rental fee is not cheap, it is commensurate with the large amount of goods they brought, and the safety of the store is also guaranteed.

If you are an individual, there are naturally cheaper and more liquid stalls to choose from.

Of course, the vendors at these mobile stalls are a mixed bunch, and most of the items are difficult to tell whether they are real or fake. According to the unspoken rules of the exchange, if you don't have a good eye, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky even if you are cheated. The Blue Crystal Clan will not compensate you for this.

Therefore, this aspect protects the interests of those who rent shops to a certain extent.

Melen's first thought upon entering the Acropolis was... crowded.

Huge crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder... Similar words can fully describe the situation in front of us, it is just like a vegetable market at eight o'clock in the morning.

Each store is filled with a wide variety of goods, but in some small stores, the homogeneity of goods is very serious, and many basic goods are repeated.

After wandering around for a whole morning, Melen discovered something even more bizarre: the same product had different prices in many stores, and at most, the prices were within the same range.

There is no such department as the "Market Supervision Bureau" in the exchange fair, and they don't care about vicious competition. Naturally, the prices of many commodities are set quite arbitrarily.

Of course, these prices are also related to the strength and talent of the race. For example, the Spirit Rabbit Clan is good at planting and has a high perception of spirituality. Therefore, among the goods they sell, those delicious vegetables and fruits, as well as utensils with spiritual charm are relatively cheaper.

The same logic applies to other ethnic groups.

Relatively speaking, Melen is more interested in those mobile stalls, because one can always find some high-value treasures here. Although many of these treasures are fake, they often look more real than the real ones because of the stall owners' tricks of making the fakes look real.

Mellen would naturally not buy these easily, but the knowledge he gained from the boasting of those stall owners was enough to satisfy him.

On the fifth day of the exchange fair, Mellen was searching among the stalls as usual. Suddenly, a scream from not far away caught his attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a small stall was already surrounded by people.

Mellen walked closer out of curiosity and listened for a few seconds, then he understood what was going on...

The owner of the stall was a dazed-looking teenager, and what he was selling was just some ordinary hematite, but a buyer seemed to have noticed something different and wanted to buy all his goods.

Although the boy was dull, he was not stupid. Seeing this situation, he became suspicious and began to hesitate.

The buyer seemed to understand that his impatience had caused the young man to notice something was wrong, but at this point he could only make the best of a bad situation. He actually tried to use his own third-level strength to suppress this young man who only seemed to have the strength of the second level.

But the movement here soon attracted the attention of others. After several people came over, they finally found some clues. It turned out that there was a piece of hematite essence in the hematite sold by the young man.

If hematite is just an ordinary material, then the essence of hematite is an absolutely high-grade extraordinary material. According to people who know the business, the piece on the boy's stall is worth at least 3000 magic gold coins.

Then, in front of the boy's stall, several interested buyers started a small bidding war.

In the end, the buyer who first noticed the essence of hematite but wanted to buy it at the price of ordinary hematite succeeded in bidding at a price of 3300 magic gold coins.

Although he bought the item, the buyer was not in a good mood. He had a chance to get a bargain, but thinking of this, he glared at the young man fiercely.

The boy seemed to be frightened. He left in a hurry without even having time to clean up the hematite on the stall.

Mellen watched the farce with a strange expression on his face, and when he saw the buyer who still had a hateful look on his face, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy.

Because he could vaguely feel that the boy's true strength was not just the second level, but had reached the legendary level, and his appearance should have been disguised.

From this perspective, the hematite essence purchased by the buyer may not be genuine. If he wants to cause trouble for the young man again, there may be more surprises waiting for him.

Picking up bargains and being picked up by others, similar things happen from time to time at exchange meetings, which is not uncommon.

Gradually, Mellen would occasionally buy some relatively cheap things. Of course, due to his lack of knowledge, he mainly relied on his own intuition and that of his golden retriever, and he did make a small profit.

There are also many gambling stone shops in the exchange fair, and business seems to be booming. Among them are many gambling stone masters and experts, who talk a lot of nonsense.

Mellen just joined in the fun and then left. However, the golden retriever was eager to try, as if he wanted to avenge his previous shame, but was glared back by Mellen.

Soon, it was the tenth day of the exchange meeting, which was also the day of the first auction.

According to common practice, unless the seller is in urgent need of money or is planning to leave soon, the more valuable the item is, the later it will be auctioned. In other words, it is difficult for really good items to appear in the first auction.

But even so, the auction venue was packed.

It is worth mentioning that if you want to participate in the auction, if you do not have an invitation letter from the Blue Crystal Clan, you will need to purchase a ticket for 100 magic gold coins to enter.

Melen came in with the invitation letter from the Spirit Rabbit Tribe, which was considered free.

It didn't take long before an auctioneer from the Blue Crystal Clan started today's auction after a brief warm-up.

The first lot is a legendary weapon called the [Glacier Crack Axe]. This giant axe is snow-white in color, and the axe blade has a faint blue hue. Just seeing this light will make people feel a bit cold.

[Glacier Axe] As a legendary weapon, it has the ability to enlarge and shrink to a certain extent, which greatly enhances its applicability. While possessing the law of ice, it also has a special ability that can release the accumulated ice power in an instant, creating large areas of glaciers to attack or trap the enemy. In addition, this giant axe has greater destructive power for protection against ice properties.

I have to say, this is a good weapon. If it is held by a legendary strongman who possesses the corresponding laws, it will definitely make his strength reach a higher level.

When the auctioneer indicated that bidding was allowed, bids began to flow in from below.

In the end, this legendary weapon was sold for 43000 magic gold coins.

According to Elder Rabbit, the [Glacier Crack Axe] is only considered mid-to-low-tier among legendary weapons. The top-tier legendary weapons can be sold for at least 50 magic gold coins. Weapons of that level may not appear even at the third auction of the exchange meeting.

The auctions after that became much more uneventful, with only one or two fine pieces appearing occasionally.

"The next lot, number 28, is a team of ten mechanical warriors."

As the auctioneer spoke, Mellen became interested.

The auctioneer continued enthusiastically, "These mechanical warriors have reached the ultimate Tier 3 strength. They possess terrifying ranged attack capabilities and decent melee abilities. Once they identify their master, they will obey any command. They are the best warriors and cannon fodder."

As the auctioneer was speaking, a three-meter-tall mechanical warrior with a metallic sheen all over his body walked up. Under the former's command, the mechanical warrior's arms transformed into three long-range weapons: a gun barrel, a flamethrower, and a beam cannon. At the same time, he could also draw out melee weapons such as a longsword from his back. His own strength and flexibility were also quite excellent.

In the end, the transaction price of this team of mechanical warriors reached 12000 magic gold coins.

Seeing this scene, Melen looked thoughtful.

Currently in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, in addition to the two large mechanical bases that were first built, four small mechanical bases have also been built. These small mechanical bases are mainly used to build ordinary versions of the Titan Colossus.

These ordinary Titan Colossi can only exert the strength of the legendary bottom line and do not have any special abilities. They are quite mediocre for Mellen.

But there is no way around it. Melen wanted all the Titans in his hands to be high-level versions, but resources are limited, so he can only use high-level Titans as generals and low-level Titans as pawns.

Considering that dimensional materials might appear at the exchange meeting, but he does not have enough funds, the idea of selling the Titan has come to Mellen's mind, but he has not made up his mind yet.

After all, the ordinary version of the Titan cannot fully exert its legendary strength without a specific operator, and he cannot sell the inheritance of the [Source Energy User] at the same time. In this way, the value of the Titan will probably be greatly reduced.

The final item of the auction is a legendary suit called [Brave Knight Armor]. After wearing it, one can temporarily obtain the bonus of the legendary profession [Brave Knight]. It is a pretty good little boutique.

The auctioneer spoke passionately, "The [Heroic Knight] is a unique and legendary class created for his followers by a great being in ancient times. While this class isn't outstanding in every aspect, it does have one great trait: it can provide powerful buffs to teammates."

"It is said that when the number of [Heroic Knights] reaches a certain level, a professional resonance can be formed. The blessing formed by [Heroic Knights] will be far greater than that of other professions. A team of [Heroic Knights] with a hundred people wearing [Heroic Knight Armor] can fight against Saints."

"Unfortunately, with the passage of time, that great being has faded from fame, and the Brave Knights that once dominated the worlds have also dispersed. A complete set of [Brave Knight Armor] is of great significance today, whether for collection or research."

As the auctioneer spoke, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became heated and the bidding became extremely fierce.

Finally, the [Brave Knight Armor] was bought by an old dwarf for 21 magic gold coins.

From the discussions around him, Melen learned that the old dwarf was named Oz Bronzebeard, a well-known blacksmith master in Skywind Territory. He had forged many fine legendary and extraordinary items.

By the end of the auction, Melen felt that the trip was worthwhile and he had gained a lot of knowledge.

The next period of time was spent continuing to search and wait. Melen felt that he should find a way to expand his network of contacts. It would be somewhat difficult for him and the Spirit Rabbit Clan to find what they wanted during the exchange meeting.

At this moment, in the Blue and Green Realm, in the fairy tale cottage that Mellen had placed on the island for positioning, a letter condensed out of thin air and began to release a certain specific signal.

Melen sensed the call of this signal through the fairy tale kingdom, and immediately returned to his residence and began to close his eyes and meditate.

His spirit followed the guidance of the location and returned to the fairy tale cottage with difficulty and saw the letter.

It is natural that Mellen could not have left the Blue and Green Realm without any preparation. The Fairy Tale Cottage itself is a communication channel, and if there is any emergency, he can be contacted quickly.

Under the manipulation of an invisible force, the letter was opened and Melen's spirit began to read its contents.

After a moment, Melen woke up from his deep thoughts and frowned slightly.

The content of the letter was simple, it was about the rift in time and space.

During this period, the demons were caught in an internal conflict because of the theft in the warehouse city, which gave the human side a chance to breathe. However, as time went on, although the demons became more and more powerful, things did not develop in a good direction for humans.

Because the messengers of the three demon lords have arrived!

Each demon lord dispatched three legendary demons, both to regulate the increasingly chaotic situation in the space-time rift area of the Blue and Green Realm and to investigate the truth behind the theft.

With the arrival of the messenger, the strength of the demons in the space-time rift area has been unprecedentedly enhanced. Humans have even temporarily stopped entering it and set up layers of blockades at the exit.

The situation is relatively stable at the moment, but no one knows whether the demons will take this opportunity to suddenly launch an all-out war.

After a long time, Melen's expression gradually relaxed.

Even if a full-scale war really breaks out, with his current strength, going back would be just a drop in the bucket and would not be able to play a key role at all. Instead of doing that, it would be better for him to continue looking for dimensional matter. Only when his strength is improved will he have a chance to solve the problem of the invasion of the abyss world once and for all.

Besides, it is difficult for the demons to launch a real all-out war now.

Once the demons leave the space-time rift area, ordinary demons will be fine, but the strength of legendary demons will inevitably be greatly suppressed. Although the demons are confused and crazy, they will not deliberately seek death.

Therefore, the full-scale war on the side of the demons will most likely have to wait until thirty years later. By then, the intersection of the rules of the two worlds will reach a critical point, and the demons will be able to use the space-time rift area as a foundation to continuously expand the power of the abyss outward, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
