Lin Li was puzzled There were no unowned seas here, and the entire sea territory belonged to the Gilded Kingdom The Mermaid</edom’s seas
“Master Felic, the Secret Merchant Market is about to open, let’s go over together” Donald was a regular custo over, he iave him a reelano with him to follow Donald and Prince Tory towards the shi+ps While walking, he asked, “Master Donald, those shi+ps should belong to the secret ht?”
“Yes, they are secretSouts to move marine beasts to this market However, shi+ps like these are usually used to carry trafficked slaves or preciousthe way at the front
Although h, it was just a place for trading, and it was ioods directly onto it In particular, the items that Donaldthat would easily cause a big commotion, were usually prohibited on board If one wanted to purchase those iteh the Secret Merchants Alliance, which would send sooods to ensure the interests of the custouidance, Lin Li and others soon arrived in the cabin of The Mermaid, which was rather spacious At this oods in their respective spots
Putting aside all the other factors, this scene alone reminded Lin Li of the farmers’ markets that he would visit in his previous life before trans, except that it was, of course, anized than the rowdy farmers’ markets Be it the customers or secret h the goods, and waiting for customers to show up
There were probably nearly 100 stalls in the entire cabin, each with a width of about twoto Donald’s introduction, those secret merchants ned stalls were of the lowest level In order to gain access to the truly superior-grade fine goods, they would have to go through the door at the end of the cabin
However, for Lin Li, it didn’t oods were fine and exquisite or not, because the key was that they had to be useful to his that he could put to use were the most valuable Even if he possessed a unique item that was one of its kind in the world, it would still be useless if he didn’t need it Besides, the quality of the goods sold by the secret merchants here definitely wouldn’t be too bad, since they could run their stall here at the Secret Merchant Market
Hence, when Donald intended to bring Lin Li and the others upstairs to the next floor above, Lin Li politely declined “Thank you, Master Donald, but please go ahead with Prince Tory I intend to take my servants for a tour around here”
Donald also knew that everyone had their own secrets, and he had already done enough by bringing Lin Li and the others there If he followed the The purpose of most patrons of the Secret Merchant Market was to find and buy so to let others find out which treasures they had gotten iht them
Hence, after Lin Li turned him down, Donald didn’t seeht then, take your time, Master Felic Tory and I will not disturb you any that you like”
Donald and Tory soon left, while Lin Li brought Connoris and Angelano to start browsing slowly through the goods available at each store owned by a secret merchant The Secret Merchant Market was much different from the Gift of the Sea, where there was basically a variety of resources available for sale The goods peddled at the Secret Merchant Market were usually rare items
However, one point to note was that the authenticity of the goods at the Secret Merchant Market was not guaranteed or regulated, so one would have to have a discerning eye in order to purchase authentic goods If one were to buy a counterfeit item, they would have to blame it on their bad luck The secret merchant would not offer a refund, nor would the Secret Merchants Alliance entertain such matters
For instance, Lin Li saw a replica of the titan Dragon Gun at a stall owned by a secret merchant which had an identical appearance to the true titan Dragon Gun’s according to theHowever, the most fake detail about it was that its size was only twice or thrice of that of an ordinary spear used by humans For the titans, it was probably only akin to a toothpick
There were also some who sold treasure maps that were claimed to be of the h Lin Li wasn’t certain that the map was fake, he reckoned that no one would dare to unearth the mausoleum of the Great Monarch of the Sea Clan even if it was authentic, because the Sea Clan wasn’t extinct yet! Besides, even if the one to explore thethe the map
Simply put, the Secret Merchant Market was like an antique ht be authentic or not If one ended up buying a counterfeit itement However, on the other hand, the secret merchants would tend to make mistakes at times too Hence, it could be said that it was all up to the discretion of the buyer and seller Even if they suffered a loss, they shouldn’t blame anyone for it
Of course, there were only very few counterfeit goods Even though the secretmasks, and weren’t afraid that their reputation would be ruined, the Secret Merchants Alliance wasn’t willing to tarnish theirs because of the counterfeit goods Although the Secret Merchants Alliance did not make it oods, they had a standard evaluation criteria of their own If the secretkicked out of the alliance would be considered a light consequence
For exaoods in the cabin on the second floor where Donald and Prince Tory went to, as the goods peddled there were obviously of superior quality compared to those outside The secret merchants ere allowed to set up their stalls on the second floor were not only capable, but more importantly, they were credible and trustworthy to a certain extent
This tiuests ere invited to the Secret Merchant Market; there were about a few thousand of theht to the cabin of the second floor as soon as they entered, just like Donald and the others However,slowly on the first floor, just like Lin Li Fortunately, the hall on the first floor was extre aures of status, so they wouldn’t be so disgraceful as to wander around indiscrih the crowd
