Chapter 156: Sea Auction
The Sea Auction, the event that Demingham Outlaws look forward to every quarter.
This year's auction was postponed for unknown reasons, and the auction, which was supposed to be at the end of September, was postponed to the end of October.
On this day, all the stalls will be canceled, and only the auction booth in the middle will remain.
Not only will this move not reduce the number of Aliens, but according to the situation of previous years, it will nearly double, and if nothing else, there will be some characters that are rarely seen in the Sea Market.
Even if there is snow tonight.
It is normal for snow to fall in the early hours of winter, and the ship has not gone far to the sea, and snowflakes begin to fall in the sky, so it is impossible to make the ship turn around.
"It's a good thing that the snow is not heavy, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to see what I'm auctioning later...... Donald, how much money have you prepared for this auction?"
The masked Stephanie's voice sounded a little muffled, but there was still a hint of excitement to be heard.
Although she has lived in Dmingham for a short time, the auction of the Sea Bazaar is indeed the first time that Stephanie has participated, because she did not have much savings before, coupled with the problem of personal talent, there are not many things in the bazaar that can help her, so she simply can't see and be out of mind.
Now that she is by Donald's side, she naturally has no such concerns, and for this auction trip, Stephanie also expects that the materials needed for the emotional talent potion are not general, although they are not as frustrating as energy shaping, but they are not so easy to collect, so she is also full of expectations for this auction trip.
"I don't have much money, I haven't been to the sea market a few times during this time, and I only have the rest of my savings. ”
Putting his collar up to cover the gap around his neck, Donald said it a little casually.
The scrolls made by Donald did make money, but they were all used by him for the merits of the Anomaly, and the only number of times they were actually sold in the Sea Bazaar was the few times before.
Therefore, when it comes to cash, he actually doesn't have much on him, and the total is about 50 gold pounds.
"50 gold pounds, isn't it enough?"
For the average person, the purchasing power of 50 gold pounds is enough to support a family's expenses for several years, but for an auction of this magnitude, it is naturally another way.
It's no problem to go up and fight for a lottery, but if you really meet something you like, this money is not enough.
Moreover, Stephanie also knew that Donald's current talent potion materials were still missing three items, all of which were extremely rare items.
Needless to say, the five-leaf clover has a magic worm crystal nucleus and firescale fish blood.
The crystal nucleus of the magic worm, as the name suggests, is the crystal nucleus in the body of a strange beast called the magic worm, and some people say that it is its heart.
Demon worms only live in crystalline ores that contain special energy, and rely purely on the energy needed to sustain life on hedrons, and do not need to eat anything or excrete anything else.
This special habit also means that in the whole life process, the magic worm is like a crystal ore mining machine that can only enter and exit, constantly collecting the purest energy in the crystal, as the crystal nucleus of these energy collections, it is naturally precious.
The body of the Demon Worm often changes differently depending on the nature of the crystal deposit it is in.
For example, the magic worms in the fire element crystal mine show the color of molten slurry, which is the carapace they secrete to protect their bodies, and they have extremely strong fire element resistance, and at the same time, because they eat fire element crystals, they have accumulated a lot of energy in their bodies, and once they are provoked, they can easily release the fire element impact.
Sounds familiar?
That's right, the situation of magic worms is very similar to that of changeling slimes in this regard, except that their form change is basically only done once in a lifetime, and they can't change their physical state with the change of elements in the environment like changeling slimes do.
Often the discovery of the traces of the demon worm also means that the spar deposit has been discovered, and now the crystal ore in the entire Ryan Empire seems to be no more than a hundred, don't think that this number is very large, based on the territory of the entire empire, this is already a pitiful number.
As for the firescale fish, it is even more wonderful.
It has fire in its name, and many people who hear it for the first time think that it lives in volcanic magma.
On the contrary, the places where the firescale fish are found are often in extremely cold areas, and these fish are accustomed to living in icy water, and if they are exposed to warm water, they will die instantly in a matter of seconds.
They are called firescale fish because their scales have an orange-red flame color, and they look like burning flames from a distance in those glaciers, hence the name.
The temperature of the blood is so low that it is said that it can only be stored with ice cubes, and even the slightest negligence causes the temperature to deviate, and the blood will lose its effectiveness in an instant.
These two things may not have any effect on most people, but for some people who can use them, they are more valuable than anything else, and once they appear, the price will naturally not be low.
So Stephanie was a little worried about what Donald would do if he did come across these two things later.
"Don't worry, the gold pound is not enough, and the things will be made up. ”
Not much cash does not mean that there are not many valuable things, for this auction, Donald has been sleeping late at night every day recently, and he has made no less than 30 wolfhound scrolls alone, which alone is worth hundreds of gold pounds, not to mention that he still has a real treasure in his hand.
Ships docked, and tonight's sea bazaar was another scene, with the lampposts that used to shine everywhere now concentrating all their lights in the very central area.
In the bright yellow light, the snowflakes in the sky were wrapped in a golden shell, and below this light was a bustling crowd of aliens.
"I didn't expect there to be so many strangers in Dmingham......"
Holding Donald's arm, Stephanie looked around at the crowds of aliens around her after she landed on the island, and the largest gathering of aliens she had ever seen before was probably on the day of the Bureau of Aliens' assessment.
The chatter between the strangers resounded here, and the scene inevitably turned to a noisy direction, which is a common phenomenon in the sea market, and this state of affairs is not necessarily boring, in fact, the people around are often very interesting to talk about all kinds of strange things and some special events.
When this kind of content gradually became more and more mainstream, the sea market began to form a special atmosphere that made the whole person involuntarily excited.
As the crowd moved forward, Donald was carrying a bag, Lilo was carrying a bag, and Stephanie was carrying a satchel.
Walking into the area shrouded by the aperture of light cast by the lamppost, the first thing Donald saw was the large central stand.
The square structure, with two stacked stone platforms, rises nearly five feet above the ground.
This height is just right, so that people from a distance can see the auction items, and it is not so high that people near can be obscured even if they look up.
All aliens are only allowed to stand at the front of the booth, and one meter in front of the booth, as well as on the left and right sides and back, must be left blank.
This is to ensure the safety of the auction items and prevent some hot-headed strangers who have no money but really want to get their hands on the treasures.
This is not unusual, and it often happens in the first few auctions.
After all, the rules of the sea bazaar had not yet been put in place at that time, and some foreign strangers always thought that this was just like their usual life, and if they saw something good, they would find a way to get it, and if someone stopped them, they would kill the people who blocked it and then grab the treasure.
Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent.
It wasn't until these people were hung on the reef outside the sea market to be eaten by sea beasts, turned into disgusting corpses that were half human, half skeleton and dried by the sun, that this kind of death-seeking behavior was truly and effectively curbed.
The auction of the Sea Bazaar is an exclusive activity for the strangers, everyone is looking for those auction items that are magically cherished, and naturally there are no bells and whistles in ordinary auctions, and when it is one o'clock in the morning, after the aperture is almost full, someone begins to take the stage.
"Welcome to the quarterly auction of the Sea Bazaar!"
"Oh~~"
Cheers rang out from all areas.
"There are a total of 30 lots this time, strange objects, exotic beasts, special items and talent scrolls that attract everyone's attention, all of them!"
"Oh~~"
The atmosphere reached another climax.
"Here's our lot 30!"
The auctioneer is also a person who is on the road, he doesn't sell anything, and he gets straight to the point as soon as he says a few words.
Next to the booth, a woman in a colorful costume took to the stage with a tray made of solid gold and a cover made of sterling silver.
Lot 30, a strange object made of the tail feathers of a blue-crested bird, floating feathers. ”
"The effect is that after use, you can have the ability to float in the air for a period of five minutes, and you can hovering in any direction by waving your feathers, at a speed no less than a normal car on the streets of Demmingham, and after rigorous testing, the maximum height that can be floated in the air is 10 meters!"
"The starting price, 30 gold pounds, each increase shall not be less than 2 gold pounds!"
The name, effect, price, and voice just fell, and someone immediately raised a sign at the bottom, and there were quite a few of them.
"A strange object with a floating movement effect can not only be used to get out of the battlefield, but also can be used to cross some special terrain, 30 gold pounds is definitely not enough, it is estimated that it will cost about 50 gold pounds. ”
Donald, who had just come from the auction office, did not plan to participate in the bidding for this item, he had a flowing skateboard, and floating feathers were a "spare tire" for him at best, and it was not worth spending 50 gold pounds.
He was looking forward to what he wanted, and he was also thinking about how much he would sell for the auction he had just sent.
