Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 In addition to getting the previous reward from the logistics office, Lawrence also spent some money on purchasing magic scrolls for learning. But considering that it is only more than 20 days away from the Great Competition of the countries of the New World, plus the reality that he is only a warlock and not a wizard. So he only bought three zero-level magic and one first-level magic, which cost a total of 125 yuan

　　 After coming out of the church, Lawrence drove directly to the port area in a carriage. Because according to the information he knew before, the largest extraordinary bazaar in Eagle Fort was there.

　　 Because today is not in a hurry, Lawrence finally has enough energy to look at the scenes on both sides of the street with interest through the window.

　　 Sixth Avenue is as prosperous as it used to be, crowded with people. Worthy of being the business card of Eagle Fort. The castle area, as the oldest area in the city, exudes a heavy sense of history. The dolphin area near the pier is full of vitality and a certain chaos as before... In short, these are the places that look completely different or even completely opposite. Together they form the city.

　　 Maybe because today is not a working day, there is no traffic jam on the road. The carriage quickly traversed the streets under the control of the coachman. After half an hour, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a pier.

　　 "Swift Wharf." Lawrence glanced at the sign on the sign above the entrance gate of the wharf after getting off the bus. Unlike the Albatross Wharf that we went to last time when we picked up people, this wharf is much larger in scale, and it is also a mixed passenger and freight wharf.

　　 "The secret market for the extraordinary is actually in this place." Looking at the bustling crowd at the entrance of the pier, Lawrence showed a puzzled look on his face. In his impression, the market for the extraordinary should be hidden in such inaccessible valleys, misty woods, or old castles with moss on the outer walls. It was beyond his imagination to be placed in such a place full of people.

　　 After spitting out silently, Lawrence quickly got into the dock with the crowd coming and going at the entrance. After walking down the human road on the side of the asphalt and deep into the pier several tens of meters, he saw the coffee house with the white cat coffee house sign outside.

　　 The style of this coffee house obviously does not match the style of the buildings in this area, because it is located in a gorgeous colonial-style two-story small building. It is completely different from the standard industrial-era buildings around.

　　 But the strange thing is that people passing by in a hurry don't even look at it. Their eyes only fell on a large cheap restaurant on one side and a clothing store on the other. It seems that you can't see this extremely eye-catching cafe.

"Maybe ordinary people can't see here, after all, sometimes extraordinary things may pose a fatal threat to ordinary people." Lawrence thought so squeezing past a group of peasant women who had just arrived by short-distance passenger ferry from the nearby countryside to make a big purchase and opened the shop. Walked in.

As the entrance to the Extraordinary Bazaar, there are many people sitting in this coffee shop, some of them are not ordinary people at first glance, such as sitting in the corner of the house, drinking absinthe and smoking long pipes. A half-dragon with red-blue scales and fire or frost in his eyes.

　　 Of course, most people in this place are still dressed normally. For example, a gentleman in a tuxedo, a bow tie and a top hat, or a few young men in overalls and felt hats around a table drinking beer.

　　Looking at them, Lawrence knew why the secret bazaar of the transcendents was placed here, because only this kind of pier with people coming and going was convenient for these transcendents to mix in the crowd to come or leave without being discovered by others.

　　 "Newcomer?" After watching Lawrence walk in, the young waiter with blond hair and green eyes sitting behind the counter raised his head and looked at him. "I don't seem to have seen you here before."

　　 "Yes, I did just come from outside." Lawrence nodded. "I have never been here before, so can you tell me how to get to the bazaar?"

　　 As soon as Lawrence finished his voice, the waiter turned out from behind the counter, holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice with ice in a paper cup. : "Welcome to the Eagle Fort Extraordinary Bazaar, please come with me. By the way, I invite you to this cup of tea."

　　 Lawrence took the juice in his hand, because the priest who told him the location of the bazaar had said that this was also a welcome ceremony for this cafe. Taking a sip through the straw in the cup, Lawrence felt that this drink was no different from the drink of the same name in the previous life, and it was quite to his appetite.

　　 "Come here, please." Looking at Lawrence's enjoyment after drinking his drink, the waiter gave a kind smile, and then led him through the back door of the coffee shop.

　　 Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary door opened and appeared in front of Lawrence as a slab-paved square. But before he walked in, he clearly remembered that the back of the row of buildings where the shop was located was a narrow-gauge railway for freight transport in the port area.

　　 "Is this a secondary plane? It's a big deal." Looking at the unnaturally white sky above the square, Lawrence instantly understood what this extraordinary market was all about. No wonder this place can become the largest market and exchange center for the extraordinary in the eastern part of the Federation.

The secondary plane and the astral plane that Lawrence is going to are both independent of the main plane, but unlike the astral plane, the inside of the secondary plane cannot form an independent cycle, so it needs The water, air, food, and all other necessities must be imported from the outside.

Naturally, the space of the secondary plane is large or small, and the secondary plane that now appears in front of Lawrence is about five or six hectares. There are various buildings on it. They are all based on the square in front of Lawrence. Expanding outward as the core.

　　Walking into the square, what appeared in front of Lawrence was a stone tablet, and he found that it was carved with the rules that belonged to this market. After careful observation, he found that there is such a stone monument outside every exit that connects to the outside world and this subplane space. It seems that it should be the first rule of the newcomer~www.wuxiahere.com~ This is a free market where you can trade here except for some severely prohibited products. At the same time, fighting, theft and snatching are absolutely prohibited in the bazaar, and those who violate the rules will be expelled. If losses are caused, compensation is required, and those who refuse compensation will be hunted down.

　　 The second article is that this bazaar provides two official services. One is the notary service provided by the notary office. The clergy of the commercial church and the knowledge church provide contract justice and commodity identification services.

　　 The other is the human resource distribution service provided by the human resource market, where everyone can arrange tasks and receive tasks. Of course, these tasks require market officials to investigate and collect a certain deposit.

　　 Then there are some very trivial regulations. After reading all the rules on this stone tablet, Lawrence walked into the square and started walking around.

This extraordinary market is divided into several areas by several roads extending from the square and a narrow canal. Some areas are prepared for stalls that wrap customers, while others are two or three floors. Signboards hung at the entrances of the buildings.

　　 Obviously, you can indeed find treasures in stalls like these, but there is a greater probability that you will lose your money. And the signs hanging at the door of these areas indicate that magic used for identification is absolutely prohibited in this place.

　　 "Isn't it said that anyone who traverses can pick up treasures in such a place?" Lawrence complained inwardly and walked to those special shops. He knew that he did not have the glaring golden fingers of other traversers, and that he had not accumulated enough knowledge in this area. So in order to avoid losing money, he felt that it would be better for him to go to those shops that clearly marked the price and allowed inspection.
