Chapter 806: Underground Auction
To Du You's surprise, it was really difficult to find something that matched his skills. Even in this place, Du You only found so many, and none of them were found for the time being.
In the next few days, after looking at those exhibition halls, Du You didn't find anything suitable for him.
Du You knew that in fact, there were many things that had not been taken out for exhibition, but he couldn't take the initiative to ask for them. As for stealing, forget it, Du You didn't know where those things were.
The people of Casili City can be said to be strict about these works of art, and the degree of secrecy and protection of many art exhibition halls or storage rooms here is even higher than that of the Royal Palace.
In the end, Du You only bought a few things that looked good on his own, and he didn't gain anything.
But even so, in the blink of an eye, the three million gold coins he brought had cost nearly one million, and there were only more than two million left. The prices of these works of art are really inflated and scary. The purchasing power of gold coins in this world is still very high, so it's no wonder that there are many works of art here, but few of them are successfully traded.
Most of the successful transactions are for objects that have just been made by existing artists.
These things will not be that expensive, and there may be a lot of room for appreciation in the future.
"Is there an underground auction tonight, it's not illegal, it's just built underground?" Du You received an invitation this day and came to Cassily City, and it has been ten days.
Du You, who had no more gains, originally planned to leave in two days, but he didn't expect to encounter a sale.
That night, Du You took the two sisters and took the invitation letter to this so-called underground auction. The auction house has three floors above ground, and you go directly underground when you enter. After the spiral staircase, it descends to the third basement floor.
Du You looked at the surrounding decorations, which can be said to be splendid, and there are many artwork decorations, giving people an elegant feeling, and even there is an ancient heritage here.
In Cassily City, there is art everywhere. The more advanced the place, the more so, Du You, a person who doesn't understand art, also has a very comfortable feeling when he sees the layout here.
"Thank you for participating in today's auction, the main items in today's auction are works of art. ”
The auctioneer doesn't talk nonsense either, and when the time arrives, go straight to the start. Du You looked around, many people knew each other, and they met at the cocktail party one day. There are many nobles who come here, and none of them hide their faces, which shows that this auction is indeed not an illegal transaction.
Du You looked boredly, trading art pieces that he couldn't understand.
Finally, in the second half, Du You received a message from Lin Yushi. "Master, this one worked for me. ”
Du You nodded in understanding, and then bid directly. After that, Du You saw clearly what this thing was, and it turned out to be a broken arrow. And not the broken arrows of ordinary people, but the broken arrows of elves sent from far away.
"It's expensive. When Du You spent 500,000 yuan to buy it, he thought in his heart, if it wasn't for the need for skills, this thing would be a waste. But looking at the eyes of other people around you looking at you, it was mixed with envy.
Maybe in their eyes, they have earned it. Du You could only smile around, and then make a deal with the auction house.
"Which skill corresponds to? Du You asked quietly in the panel.
When the things arrived, Lin Yushi was also relieved. "It's my burst scattering, and there's nothing wrong with the broken arrow itself, maybe it has something to do with the story that comes with it. ”
Is it a story that comes with it? Du Yu thought of the story told by the auctioneer before. This arrow is not something you can get anywhere, and although elven things are almost always works of art, this one has a special meaning.
It is said that the arrow was pulled from the chest of a demon, and a powerful demon was once killed by this arrow piercing the heart of the chest. Later, when someone pulled it out, he put it away.
But the story is just the auctioneer saying, and no one believes it to be true. The reason why they want it is because it is a product of the elves. For the aristocracy, as long as it is stained with the word elf, it has extremely high value. And for artists, the things that elves produce are invaluable and can bring them great inspiration.
Although everyone has different values in their hearts, they all think that this thing is valuable.
Then, it turned into a boring auction again, and there was nothing Du You liked. In this way, the auction went on until the end, and when the finale came out, a light suddenly appeared in Du You's eyes.
"Look, everyone, this is the last item of the day. This is a fragmented first draft of a magic scroll, and is said to be the first meteor rain scroll carved by Lord Fire Demon. If you're lucky, you might be able to decipher the magic pattern of the meteor shower. ”
"What, it's actually a fire demon's scroll, and it still hasn't been successful. ”
Many people's eyes lit up, and Du You listened to the people around him and gradually understood. It turns out that the creation of magic scrolls in this world is a very secret technology, and most mages can use magic, but they do not make the corresponding scrolls. Scrolls can be used by anyone, which is completely different from professional scrolls.
Mastering a scroll is enough for a great nobleman to be a family heirloom. Not to mention the skill of Meteor Rain, which is a fifth-order magic in this world, is extremely terrifying.
Once unleashed, it is enough to destroy a large city and can be used as a deterrent weapon.
And Du You felt for the first time that this mutilated scroll had a very high fit with his ultimate move, Flame of Destruction.
Thinking of this, Du You wanted to make a move. It's just that when the first nobleman made a bid, Du You gave up.
"Five million gold coins. "This is the first person to shout. Du You now only has 1.5 million gold coins left in his hand, he originally thought it was a lot, but now it seems that he is really poor.
There is no way, in the border areas, the prices of all kinds of things are very low, and almost all the gold coins are concentrated in the empire, and it is not easy to earn these by yourself. And those aristocrats, I don't know how many generations of accumulation, are far from being comparable to what they are now. And for a long time, Du You has only paid attention to crystal coins and not gold coins, which is also for a reason.
"Master, why don't you grab it. Lin Yushi secretly transmitted the sound.
"No, I don't know how many fourth-order natives there are in this city, and there are probably fifth-order natives. Lin Yucha objected.
