Chapter 62 A Long Day ix
Of course, the tearing of the sky is just an illusion of Monia at a glance, and the high-ranking warriors who have developed their physical potential to the limit may be able to cut the river and shake the earth with all their might, and accomplish the impossible feat in the eyes of the world. However, the height of the canopy is unfathomable, and even if a god descends to manifest himself, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the existence of this world, let alone a mere mortal - a professional who has reached the end of the mortal path, as long as he has not taken that step, he is only a mortal thing after all.
And it is impossible for anything to shoot that arrow.
That's right, an arrow.
The mage lowered his head, and refocused his attention on the close-up of the projection screen in the private room—a vulgar man with an unassuming appearance and a demeanor like that of a farmer in the mountains, walked up to the weapon rack, gently spat out a smoke ring, and threw the inferior cigarette roll on the ground casually, then uncovered the gauze and stroked every line on the inconspicuous ebony bow, his eyes gentle as if he were looking at his lover.
"Quiet." He said.
After not having the desired effect, he frowned slightly, wanted to attack but held back, after a long breath, the thick and thick fleshy palm gently slapped the weapon rack, and the ebony longbow tossed into the air, and then he caught it with one hand, his body turned one hundred and eighty degrees, knelt on one knee, and pulled the bow like the moon-
"Bang!"
Although the image on the screen could not transmit sound, the moment he let go, it seemed that there was a real thunder surge, and the snow-white arrow feather turned into a streamer of light and disappeared into the clouds, and the projection screen finally captured only the atmosphere and clouds torn by the arrows, which did not dissipate for a long time like a wound in the sky.
This magnificent atmosphere is impressive.
- Such a great power is almost a legendary hero, right?
The legend that has not appeared for thousands of years seems to be repeating itself in front of my eyes, and almost everyone's eyes are full of excitement and excitement, only a few people's expressions have not changed much, and Monia is one of them.
Wrong!
The mage's eyes were full of doubt.
In this era, no one knows the limits of the warrior better than him, and in any case, if he only stays at the mortal stage, it is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible to create the momentum just now with just one arrow.
So—
There is only one truth.
The short mage looked up, his crimson pupils shining almost - that weapon, that bow, was either a weapon infused with divine grace by the gods, or the work of a great mage who had stepped beyond the mortal realm and set foot on the legend, in short, it could not be mortal.
In this ancient age, when all skills were generally backward, possessing such a weapon is indeed worthy of being called supreme! The value it holds cannot be measured by gold coins at all!
A merchant who really has the ability to collect weapons of this level?
Monia frowned tightly, even if it was explained by chance, it didn't make sense, regardless of whether there were legendary mages in this era, even if there were, there would definitely not be many, and even fewer of them had the ability to make transcendental-level weapons, and it was almost impossible for them to enter the market.
But now, not only is it entering the market, but it is also being bought and sold at auction.
It's so unrealistic! It's not that mages haven't seen transcendent weapon legendary items auctioned up, it's just that it was a few epochs later in the future, the level of civilization in that era was much higher than the current one, mages didn't have to abide by the law of seclusion at all, and there were countless professionals who stepped into the end of the mortal road - but even in that era, the auction of transcendent weapons was a big event that caused a sensation throughout the server, and the price was so high that the presidents of the major guilds could not afford it, and in the end, only those NPC forces with a long heritage could participate in the bidding.
You can imagine how hot the scene was at that time.
On the other hand, today, although it has been hailed as a grand event at the top of the mountains for nearly a hundred years, in the final analysis, it is just an auction held by a merchant, what qualifications does he have, what channels do he have to obtain a super-level weapon, and how generous and open-minded he is to sell this powerful weapon that can be called an artifact.
Unless...... That's just an illusion.
The idea was only a flicker, and she quickly rejected it - if it wasn't for a transcendent weapon, there were only two possibilities, one was that Randolph Hewlett who wielded it was a legendary superpowerhouse in his own right, and the other was that the auction was a hoax and a farce.
In the mage's mind, neither of these may have a foothold.
Legendary Warrior? Are you kidding! Let's not say whether there is one, and even if there is, it is impossible to obey the orders of the merchant and stage such a farce at the auction. As for the possibility of a scam? I can't arbitrarily say no, but I can deceive her, but I can't deceive her eyes, even if I can deceive her, when the scam is exposed after selling the ebony bow, can anyone really afford this loss? You must know that the people who are qualified to participate in this auction are basically nobles and big businessmen, all of whom are the elite of this country, and offending them is equivalent to offending the entire country!
Therefore, after all possibilities are ruled out, the last possibility left is the truth.
That's ...... This bow was never intended to be sold from the beginning!
"Bidding starts now," the host's shrill voice came from the speaker, interrupting Monia's thoughts, "This weapon was acquired by Mr. Newsman at great cost from an unnamed master, and the provenance is absolutely reliable, and its starting price is ......"
Pause, very noticeable pause.
Then he smashed the auction hammer and said, "Ten thousand gold coins!" ”
There was a rare silence in the auction venue again, and almost everyone was intimidated by this terrifying price - not to mention that 10,000 gold coins is the starting price, even if 10,000 gold coins is the final bid, the vast majority of aristocratic families sitting here can't make up so much liquidity, and only a few very economically minded business aristocrats can come up with such a large amount of liquidity in one breath - of course, it is inevitable to break the muscles and bones.
But this 10,000 gold coins is not the final price, but only the starting price! The final auction price will definitely double and go up! It is not a mere 120,000 gold coins that can be obtained, and those who are qualified to participate in the final competition are probably the only ones who control the political, economic, and military lifelines of the top of the mountains - and only they can come up with so much liquidity and be sure to eat this weapon that may invite disaster at any time!
As a result, the venue was strangely caught in the dilemma of no one bidding.
Until—
"The gentleman in room 602 is bidding for eleven thousand gold coins," the host waved the auction hammer, "is there a higher bid?" Is there a higher bid? 11,000 gold coins once, 11,000 gold coins twice......"
"Fifteen thousand gold coins, okay, the gentleman in room 627 bid fifteen thousand gold coins, this is a wise choice, believe me, you will not suffer because of this." The host maintained a charming smile and a calm bearing, and his eyes once again rested on a number on the fourth floor, "Sixteen thousand gold coins, the lady in room 621 bid sixteen thousand gold coins, ladies and gentlemen, it is better to act than to move, please hurry up." ”
The price climbed higher and higher, from 16,000 gold coins to 21,000 gold coins, and then climbed higher.
Everything is thriving and orderly, but Monia can't help frowning, not for anything else, just for the current price - too low, she frowned, although the times are different, the world's perception of extraordinary weapons is different, and the position of gold coins in the monetary system is also different, but even if it is estimated in a conservative valuation way, its value should not be less than 100,000 gold coins, and the ideal price should be around 150,000 gold coins, which is still considered to be the lack of understanding of extraordinary weapons in this era and the discretionary part of the reduction.
After all, a transcendent weapon can help a high-ranking warrior cross a whole level, and it is enough to help the heroes of the mortal world achieve extraordinary deeds as mortals!
It is not a simple auction item that can be measured by gold coins, but one of the foundations that measures the strength of a power.
Sure enough, the representative of the Three Kings family on the seventh floor finally spoke out after a long silence.
"Room 703 is 50,000 gold coins, is there anything higher? Is there anything higher? The host was obviously very excited, just the commission he could get for this auction was enough to be worth his income for a year, "50,000 gold coins once, 50,000 gold coins twice...... Okay, 60,000 gold coins in room 701! ”
The prices of the only three rooms on the seventh floor have been repeatedly raised, but as the price gradually approaches the 100,000 mark, even if the wealth is as thick as the Three Kings' family, it is beginning to be powerless - this is not the fake gold that can be directly refined by alchemy in later generations, but the real money and silver, and the financial income of the top of the mountains in a year is only equivalent to this number, and it may not even be half of this number when the year is not very good!
Finally, the final price stayed at the line of 97,000.
"Ninety-seven thousand once, ninety-seven thousand twice...... the host's hands and voice trembled, this price has exceeded his cognition, and all that is left is a thin and weak number, "Ninety-seven thousand gold coins three times...... And also...... Is there anything higher? ”
Without waiting for a reply, he picked up the auction hammer and smashed it down.
But no sound sounded, a thick hand grabbed the bidding mallet, and a rough male voice came from behind him:
"I'm against it."
- It's Randolph Hewlett.
