Chapter 65: The Warmth of Water

Magical artifacts that release specific magic are different from magical equipment. Magical equipment can only use magic circles to form special effects, not specific magic.

For example, if there are two magic weapons, one sword can release the spell "Wind Blade", which is a magic guide, while the other sword cannot release specific magic, but can form a layer of wind power on the surface of the sword to cut the enemy, it can only be magic equipment.

The most obvious difference between a magic guide and a magic device is that there are absolutely no elemental crystals on the magic guide, while magic equipment must have elemental crystals. Magic equipment is easier to use than magic guides, and as long as you have fighting energy, it can be quickly activated, which is most suitable for swordsmen.

Lear's High Healing Ring is the magic channel, and the magic boots that preceded the capture of the "Cannibal" family's Pratt are magic equipment.

Generally speaking, magicians disdain to use magical equipment, and most magical equipment is for people who don't understand magic.

However, except for magicians, no one distinguishes between magic equipment and magic equipment, and many people mistake magic equipment for magic equipment.

Today marks the second auction of Port Lear, which auctioned off some of the most valuable property of the Winston family.

Yesterday's auction house was allowed to come in as long as it received an invitation, but today you need to buy a ticket to enter the auction house - a ticket for 100 gold carats. The Starry Sky Light is placed in the final auction, but it will be cleared before the auction, and only those who have paid the 100,000 gold carats bidding fee are eligible to be present, and the bidding fee will not be returned.

One hundred carats was equivalent to half a year's income for an ordinary clerk in Port Lear, but it was not expensive for those nobles, officials, and merchants. They knew that Count Lear was here today, so they rushed to buy tickets in order to cheer up the new lord.

The boss may not remember which subordinate gave the gift, but he definitely remembers which subordinate did not.

Lear's move was shameless, because there had never been such an auction in the Starry Sky Continent. He also stated that the Earl's Court would not participate in the auction of the Starry Sky. Baron Humphrey, of course, participated.

In fact, many people suspect that Lear set such a high threshold purely to prevent the outflow of starry light, and some people believe that he took the opportunity to make money - the bidding money went to the auction house, which was simply the private property of Count Lear. If someone doesn't want to buy Starry Sky Light but participates in the auction, that's a legitimate bribe. Although as long as Count Lear himself does not pursue it, no amount of bribery is considered a crime, but it is not good to spread it.

Today's auction is scheduled for half past four in the afternoon and ends at six o'clock at the latest, when Lear will attend a dinner party for him by the big businessmen.

He knew that Ness had never been to an auction, so he took her to the auction house.

Before the auction began, he took Niss's arm and entered the auction house, and everyone stood up and applauded, especially some small officials and businessmen who had managed to buy tickets with great difficulty.

Lear is their lord, the supreme ruler of Port Lear.

Lear nodded slightly, and Nessy put her left arm around Lear, lifted her skirt with her right hand, curtsy it, and then looked ahead with a smile on her face, not squinting, like a proud little princess.

Led by the manager of the auction house, Lear and Ness made their way to the box in the middle of the second floor, while Lear and Ness's personal guards stood guard outside the door.

Ness, who had lost her image when she entered the box, cheered and looked down curiously.

Lear picked up the juice from the table and drank it. The table has a magic megaphone, hold down the button before speaking, so that the whole audience can hear it.

He was not interested in art, but he watched the auction with interest.

The first lot was "The Countess's Melancholy" by the famous painter Davins from his youth, with an estimate of 5,000 carats.

The shouts in the venue came and went, and the bidding soon exceeded 10,000 gold carats. Each bidder made his subordinates shout with all their might, as if they were afraid that others would not know how rich they were.

Lear smiled as expected.

When the lord came in person, they naturally had to tighten their belts, slap their swollen faces and make fat people work hard, trying to make the new lord remember their names. Especially those businessmen who are engaged in the infrastructure industry, they need to behave.

As soon as the new lord took office to buy hearts and minds, and had made it clear that he would use the Winston family's stolen money in the slums, then his intention to improve the basic environment of Port Lear was obvious. They are all smart people.

The merchants believed that they had a good chance of getting paid off for spending a lot of money on the new lord's field.

They guessed correctly, Lear had already asked the auction house to make a note of the last bidder.

Five expensive works of art fetched sky-high prices, with three times their estimates. After the auction of artworks, the auction of the magic guide begins.

Because there are many swordsmen in the Homan Empire, magic equipment is more popular than magic guides, so magic guides are auctioned first.

Lear didn't pay attention to the magic guides that day, believing that the Lear family would definitely have them. However, during the auction of the third magic channel, he became interested after listening to the introduction.

This is a pair of earrings called "Water Warmth", the left earring is a constant type of magician, with the magic "Water Clothes" can absorb the surrounding water element and store it, as long as the water element is sufficient, it can keep the skin of the whole body in the best condition. Moisturizes the skin even in windy and dry environments.

The right earring comes with a "water bath", which activates the magic to form a stream of water to cleanse the surface of the body, which is better than repeated bathing.

Lear sees Catherine hurrying in the wind and decides to buy the earrings.

"It's not bad to have her set up a mercenary group dedicated to protecting me......"

Lear patted his thigh and said to Ness, "Come here." ”

Ness obediently walked over and sat down on his lap. In the past, she was shy because the relationship between the two had not reached this point, but now she has regarded Lear as her future husband, and has been "taught" by her mother to take it for granted that she and Lear kiss is a wife's obligation. So as soon as Lear spoke, she obediently accepted the "treatment".

However, instead of treating her, Lear said, "You can help me take a picture of those earrings." ”

Ness was pleasantly surprised, "Was it given to me?"

Lear secretly said that the tragedy is that his own experience in picking up girls is still insufficient.

He hurriedly remedied: "I originally wanted to buy it for you, but look at it, these earrings are too big." ”

Niss nodded involuntarily and said, "It's a bit big." ”

He said, "I'll tell you a little secret, don't tell anyone else." ”

Ness immediately looked curious.

"I've got a magic contract beast, and I'm now a junior magic apprentice, so I'll make a ring for you when the time comes, do you want it?" asked Lear.

"Yes, Brother Lear, you're so nice. Ness rested on his shoulder, beaming with joy.

"Hmm. Catherine is my sword teacher, and I need to buy something to thank her. I said I wouldn't participate in the auction, but you bought these earrings for me, okay?"

"Yes! Sister Catherine and Aunt Susan are good people. Ness said innocently.

Lear hurriedly said, "First, you should also call Susan sister, and second, Catherine is a good person, Susan is not! But you can't say it to her face and pretend to be a good person." ”

"Hmm. Ness nodded incomprehensibly, she just knew that she had to listen to Brother Lear.

This pair of magic earrings is beautiful in shape and works very well, and it is the top luxury item, attracting the attention of almost all women.

Many women begged for their male partners, and the bidding was endless.

Suddenly, Nis's crisp voice came from the private room in the middle of the second floor: "I will give 20,000 gold carats, I want it." Then the bidding came to an abrupt end.

However, just as the auctioneer was ready to make a final decision, a new bidder appeared.

"Twenty thousand and five hundred!"
