Chapter 2187: Mysterious Alchemist (2)
The busiest part of Puko’s bazaar was the mechanical trading area. Under the leadership of the Alchemist Guild, the grade of alchemy products in Puko’s mechanical trading area was obviously much higher than that of the ordinary bazaars.
Many dwarves traveled thousands of miles to Puko’s in order to get closer to the latest alchemy products.
On this Storm Continent, all alchemists knew that the best way to understand the progress of dwarves in alchemy was to go to the five major bazaars and visit their mechanical trading areas; even if they didn’t have the money to buy anything, they could still gain knowledge and experience.
In Puko’s bazaar, where alchemy was most developed, many alchemists who had not been able to join the Alchemist’s Guild would find an inn nearby to stay. Inns in the five major bazaars would have corresponding alchemy laboratories in order to give these alchemists who wanted to motivate themselves a better working environment.
Every day, from sunrise to sunset, the mechanical trading area of Puko’s bazaar was always packed.
Here, every day, new alchemy products were put on the bazaar for sale, and many dwarves with rich purses were squatting, ready to buy the latest products at any moment.
The same was true of today’s mechanical trading area. As usual, numerous dwarves huddled together and walked slowly on the road, and from time to time they would squeeze into the next stall to see their favorite treasures.
Dwarves had a natural passion for alchemy. It was normal for them to have only two sets of clothes to change all the year round, and to pick their own fruit by themselves, because they had spent almost all their savings on alchemy.
Storm Continent was very rich in mineral resources. A large number of rare ores were being sold as though they were cabbages. The price of various alchemy tools was also very alluring. However, alchemy was such a costly operation that even the most skilled alchemists could not guarantee success at once. Often, they had to scrap several sets or even hundreds of sets of materials before they could create a perfect alchemy product.
During alchemy operations, the possibility of explosion, combustion, and so on was very high. Alchemists had to tighten their belts and save money to support their own alchemy activities.
But similarly, the price of a perfect alchemy product in the Storm Continent was also very objective.
For example, in a small bazaar, the most general mechanical puppets required hundreds of gold coins to be bought, and the prices of ordinary alchemy products varied completely depending on their degree of rarity and sophistication.
In the alchemy market, the most popular was the Mechanical Soul Body that had its own soul and thought.
Even the lowest of these humanoid machines, which were only rated one star, were often priced in the tens of thousands. It must be known that the value of the dwarves’ currency was much higher than the gold coins of human society, but even at such high prices, there were still a large number of alchemist enthusiasts scrambling to buy these things.
As long as there were humanoid machines on the bazaar, it would be the most popular item to buy.
But humanoid machines were very rare, after all, and it was hard to see one or two in a month.
Aside from humanoids machines, alchemists also bought other alchemy products on ordinary days.
For example, right now, there were a lot of dwarves crowding in front of a small booth, holding their heavy purses, tiptoeing and stretching their necks, trying to see the products within.
