Chapter 223: Auction
The spacious plaza is surrounded by shops that look densely packed.
Walking here, as Fred in the Kingdom of Gaulla, there were several guards around to clear the field, and there were no obstacles along the way.
"Huh?"
Passing by the road and looking at the few stalls on the side of the road, Adil was a little surprised.
Beside him were a few small stalls, with bits and pieces on them, many of which were still stained with dust and mud, and looked like they were some years old.
And in Adier's eyes, it is true, under the detection of chips, the things on these stalls have a long history, at least thousands of years.
"Does this adult need anything?"
As if sensing Adier's gaze, on the side, a tall middle-aged fat merchant walked out, looking at the extraordinary-looking Adier, with eagerness on his face: "These things have just been dug out of the ground, and there are many antiques left by the ancient elf nobles, and it is a very good choice to collect them." ”
"You mean, these are dug out of the ground?"
Listening to the other party's words, Adil raised his head, looked at the other party and asked.
"Ah, that's right. ”
It didn't seem that he expected Adil to ask such a question, the middle-aged fat merchant was stunned, and then said with a smile: "These are all recently dug up from a small ruin, and there are a lot of good things in them. In addition to the precious treasures used by the ancient elf nobles, they can occasionally dig out things related to wizards. ”
"Something to do with wizards. ”
Listening to this, Adil looked at the huge wooden table in front of him with an interested expression on his face.
In front of me are several large black wooden tables, on which there are many things on them, many of which have traces of antiquity, and they look very old.
At a glance, he skimmed over the things in front of him, and to his surprise, he could really see a lot of things related to wizards on the things in front of him.
These include a lot of them, including certain materials needed to refine potions, as well as scrapped wizard metals, and even some mutilated demonic items. Basically, they are things that have been completely scrapped and have no other value other than collection.
Of course, although the things here are basically useless, through the detection of the chip, Adil still found a few things that can be used.
It was a piece of black wood, which looked like stone on the surface, and was full of cracks, but inside the black wood, there was an extremely faint fluctuation that Adil detected.
In addition to this piece of wood, there is also a light blue ring in the distance, which should have been a demonic item that solidified some kind of spell in the past, although it is almost completely destroyed at this time, but there are still remnants of the veins of the spell inside the ring, and if you analyze it in detail, you should be able to get something.
"Wrap these things up for me. ”
Standing in place and thinking for a while, he said to the fat boss in front of him.
"It's five things in total, and five magic stones are enough. ”
After roughly counting the things, the middle-aged fat boss had a smile on his face, wrapped up a few things that Adil wanted, and handed them to Adier.
Without waiting for Adil to pay the bill, on the side, a black-robed guard stepped forward and directly put the five magic stones on the wooden table to pay the bill for Adil.
"How does it feel?"
In the distance, watching Adil's movements, Fred looked at Adil and smiled.
"It's ok. ”
Adil nodded: "Although many of the things here are related to wizards, they can be used very little, and for us, I am afraid they can only serve as a little collection." ”
"Of course, the things that can really be used were picked up when they were just unearthed, and it is impossible to put them here. ”
Fred said with a smile: "The things on display here are basically things that are of little value, or only have collection value, and are specially prepared for those mortal nobles. ”
"That's it. ”
Listening to his explanation, Adil nodded as he took out the black piece of wood he had bought from the box.
With a slight force in his hand, the black piece of wood was broken open by Adiel, revealing what was inside.
It was a black crystal ball, embedded in the center of the wooden block, and it looked like a crystalline black eyeball.
"Huh?"
Looking at this black eyeball, Fred's face had a slightly surprised expression, and his eyes were slightly solemn: "It's the eyeball of the black-eyed beast." ”
"This thing is the main ingredient of many potions, and an eyeball on the market can be worth at least five hundred magic stones. ”
He looked at Adil and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, it seems that Adil has good eyesight and luck." ”
"Perhaps. ”
Putting away the black eyeball, Adil was not interested in looking at anything else, and looked directly at Fred and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"Good. ”
Fred nodded, and then walked forward with Adil in tow.
The bazaar was large and, like the wizarding trading places that Adil had visited before, had two floors, inside and outside.
Comparatively speaking, the things inside will definitely be better, and the people who are qualified to enter will be more rare.
Walking into it, Adil glanced at it, compared to the people outside, it was almost ninety percent less.
On the entire avenue, including Adil and his party, only a few people were still walking in it, and most of them were wizards, and the number of ordinary people was very small.
"Huh?"
Looking ahead, Adil was stunned when he saw a figure in the corner.
In that corner, a beautiful girl in a long black dress with a very delicate face was standing there, followed by several guards, it was none other than Princess Sorana, whom Adil had met a few days earlier.
And beside her, the knight chief Blanche from a few days ago was also there, apparently guarding her.
"How?"
On the side, watching Adil's movements, Fred opened his mouth and said with a smile: "That Princess Solana is the princess of this generation of kings, and she looks good, but unfortunately she has no qualifications as a wizard. ”
"Very nice kid. ”
Looking at each other, Adil didn't say much.
"If you look at her, I can speak to Your Majesty and hand her over to you. ”
Looking at Adiel, Fred said jokingly: "Although the other party is a princess, but for us it is actually like this, if you open your mouth, I think Your Majesty will agree." ”
"Forget it, I'm not interested in her. ”
Adil shook his head and refused with a smile.
"That's a pity. ”
Listening to Adier's recovery, Fred said with some regret.
After a while, they continued on their way.
Although there are few wizards here, there are a lot of things, and there are shops that sell potions, but the number of potions sold in them is very small.
From this point, it can be seen that in the jade world, pharmacist is also a very cherished profession.
And through the inquiries along the way, Adil also figured out some clues about the difference between the two worlds.
This world is rich in resources, and the number of magic stone mines seems to be far more than where Adil has stayed before, so not only is it relatively easy for wizards to obtain magic stones, but even some ordinary nobles can have some magic stone reserves in their homes.
According to Fred, in some places where commerce is extremely prosperous, magic stones can even be used as currency for mortals.
And in terms of various materials, most of the materials that Adil has been exposed to in the past are available in the Emerald World, and many scarce materials that are close to extinction in the wizarding world can be found in the Emerald World.
During the conversation, Adil also noticed an important difference.
It seems that because of the different developments, in the jade world, although there are also purification potions, there are no purification potions made with magic crystals as the main material.
In the Emerald World, the Magic Shard is not a precious item monopolized by large forces, but a high-level currency traded between wizards. One hundred units of high-grade magic stones, which can be exchanged for one unit of magic crystals.
This situation couldn't help but make Adil have some thoughts, such as obtaining magic crystals from the jade world, and then selling the refined purification potion.
A bottle of purification elixir that can be used to increase the purity of spiritual power is extremely precious no matter where it is, and if it is done properly, the benefits in it will undoubtedly be very amazing.
"It seems that this time it came at the right time. On the side, Fred's voice rang out again.
He looked at Adil beside him, with a smile on his face: "The auction held by the Kumar Chamber of Commerce is usually held every few months, although the scale is not large, and most of the things auctioned are not too valuable, but they are not bad around here. ”
"Well, do you want to go in and have a look?" he asked, looking at Adil and smiling.
"Of course. Adil smiled back: "Just right, I also want to see what good things are around here." ”
"Haha, I hope it won't disappoint you. ”
Fred replied with a smile as he walked inside.
They walked to a large building, and after checking their identities, several beautiful girls quickly walked out and looked at Fred with a respectful smile on their faces: "Lord Fred, welcome over." ”
"Hmm. ”
Fred's reaction to the girls who came up was very flat: "Is the position ready?"
"Of course. ”
Listening to his words, on the side, a blonde girl led by a smile said: "The two positions have been prepared for you, but this time the auction will not start for a while, and you may have to wait for a while." ”
Hearing this, Adil couldn't help but look sideways slightly, only then did he know that the other party had prepared everything.
"Lord Adiel, are you sitting alone in a box, or are you with me? ”
Feeling Adier's gaze, Fred looked back at him and asked with a smile, "The box here is huge, even if it's the two of us together." ”
"Let's be together, then. ”
Listening to the other party's words, Adil nodded lightly and spoke directly.
After a while, led by a few maids in front of them, they walked to the front and came to a spacious hall.
In the lobby, in addition to the seats in the front, there are many rooms for people who don't want to sit in the front.
After following Fred into a certain room, he waited for more than an hour before Adil opened his eyes again and looked ahead.
At this time, in front, a burst of lights had begun to turn on, and an old man in a red robe walked to the front, facing the crowd below.
"There seem to be a lot of people. ”
Listening to the noise coming from a distance, Adil was a little surprised.
"Most of them are mortals. ”
On the side, Fred interjected: "According to the Kumar Chamber of Commerce, it means that the auction will only be carried out when there are more people, so every time there is an auction, this chamber of commerce will send an invitation letter and invite many ordinary nobles to come." ”
"Don't look at the number of people below, but in fact, even the person in charge of hosting is only a second-class apprentice, and the number of wizards among those below is even smaller. ”
Looking at the many figures below, Fred said with some disdain.
"In the entire kingdom of Gaoluo, including you and me, there are several official wizards. ”
Looking at Fred, Adil couldn't help but ask.
"In fact, less than five. Fred shrugged.
Hearing this number, Adil couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and didn't say anything more.
Ahead, under the gaze of hundreds of people, several things were brought up.
It was a few black long swords, which looked like a set, with faint mana fluctuations on them.
"As you can see..."
Under the gaze of hundreds of people in front of him, the old man in charge of the presiding shrugged, and then spoke: "This is a set of demonized items collected by the ancient elf nobles, after the appraisal of our professionals, these long swords are well protected, and they are far sharper than ordinary weapons..."
He watched the many audience members below explain for a while, and then found a few more people to come up and experiment in person.
Under the chopping of a few ordinary strong men, several shields made of metal were suddenly cut in half, and this powerful and unique sharpness made many knights shine.
"The starting price, five magic stones. ”
At the end of the commentary, the old man in charge of hosting looked at the audience whose eyes were gradually becoming eager, and shouted out the price.
With the blessing of amplified sorcery, his voice instantly spread around him, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Ten magic stones!"
"Twenty magic stones. ”
There was silence for a while, and then the sound of bids continued to sound, making the originally quiet hall lively again.
Eventually, the enchanted swords were auctioned off for a hundred magic stones, and were acquired by a large knight with a strong physique.
Sitting in the room, quietly watching this scene, Adil shook his head slightly.
As an official wizard, he saw the enchanted swords very clearly.
The alchemy runes on those long swords are very weak, I am afraid that they were just the work of alchemy apprentices back then, and they are not too precious.
If it is put in the Meissen area, it is impossible to sell such a few alchemy swords at this price, at most it is a few magic stones.
