As the bidding price climbed, the Quartet gradually left two parties, one side was Master Holman and the other side was No. 96. 「

Young Master Hull had already stopped bidding, he was just going to disgust Master Homan, but he wouldn't have trouble with his own money, anyway, there were people who were competing with Homan now, and he was happy to watch the show.

Sidney also didn't think that No. 199, who had participated in the bidding before, had completely given up this voodoo doll, and by his and Lin An's standards, the Feather Shield customers would not be ordinary people:

He and Lin An also participated in the previous black market auctions, and the number of shots was about the same, but one was designated as a feather shield level customer from the beginning, and the other had to go through a trust test to be promoted to this level.

Lin An told him about the process of her walking across the suspension bridge, which was very understated.

But Sidney knew that the process was not so simple, even if he knew that it was a naked test, there were not many people who dared to risk their lives, after all, the black market was different from other places, where anything could happen, and no one would investigate the reason - not to mention that they didn't know the auctioneer's intentions.

Lin An is full of confidence and has enough reliance on his body, so he is not afraid of any ghosts and ghosts.

But how many such people are there?

Perhaps as long as you show a hint of hesitation, you can't upgrade the level - at this moment, the auction organizer is not so much testing trust, but courage, self-confidence, strength and other comprehensive potential, and after hesitation and consideration, the person who finally walked across the suspension bridge. "" is the test of trust.

Sidney guessed that the latter might not be able to improve his level like Lin An, and only those who showed superhuman potential and psychological qualities like Lin An would be the target of the organizers.

And there are only such people. is qualified to stand at the same level as a person with an extraordinary status like him.

Black market auctions are not for everyone, especially when they are so lavish as this one. Even rarer:

Judging from some of the clues revealed before, it is clear that the auctioneer's purpose is not only to establish a black market auction, but also to attach great importance to the background status of the visitors, and the selection is very strict.

"What, don't you like it? Having trouble? ”

Lin An's voice came, and Sidney turned his head, just in time to see her close the sample book in her hand.

Her face was unnatural. The black eyes were unpredictable and dark, as if there was some hidden undercurrent, and the index finger of his right hand covering the cover was lightly scratched on the surface of the sample book, a little absent-mindedly, and the previous sentence seemed to be just a casual question.

Sidney saw this. I couldn't help but pause in my heart, and seeing that Lin An didn't mean to speak, she continued her previous question and replied:

"The bid is a bit high, and it's worth it, but I'm worried that it will cause trouble if it is auctioned - instead of someone else asking us for trouble, we should go to someone else and save some gems."

Sidney, of course, is not a person who is afraid of things, but he feels that it is better to wait to be hacked. It's better to come to the black and eat the black yourself, presumably the 199th who gave up also thinks so-

In addition to No. 199, I am afraid that there are many people who have not made a move and have similar ideas.

Although Lin An put most of her mind on her own thoughts, it didn't prevent her from paying attention to the situation below, and she already knew Sidney's thoughts when she heard it. Eyes fell on the voodoo doll.

"It's a good thing, but in order to save some money to offend a guy who may have a background, it's not worth it - we haven't figured out the details of other people, and it's no good to start rashly, if nothing else, I don't dare to do anything to the Feather Shield level lightly if I think of it-"

Lin An narrowed his eyes, "After all, the situation of this auction is different from the past, and the organizer's intentions have not yet been clarified, so it's better not to cause too much turmoil." 「」”

Lin An's philosophy is: it is not impossible to make enemies, but there must be a worthwhile price, and the risk is controllable.

This set of voodoo dolls is not low, maybe in the previous auctions, they would have eaten black directly, but in the current situation of unclear circumstances, it is not worth taking too many risks.

As for others coming to them, they are very welcome, after all, the guests who participate in the auction are in the public gallery, and it can be seen that most of them are worth a lot of money.

At this time, the bidding for the voodoo doll has come to an end, and every time the bidding is no longer so intensive, it is obvious that the current price has almost reached the psychological bottom line of the bidder, and the heart is swinging between giving up and persevering.

"120 standard gemstones! 199 guests out of 120 standard gems! Is there a higher price? Guest 85, do you want to pay a higher price? ”

The black market bidding is very fast, and there is no habit of dropping the hammer once, twice, or three times, Chris, who is incarnated by Saleen, has already pressed one hand on the golden bell at hand, and once it is picked up and shaken, it is considered a deal.

Sidney listened to Lin An's words, thought about it, nodded slightly, and called a price to the sound rune stone. 「」

"140 standard gems!"

Chris's voice suddenly raised an octave, "100 guests out of 140 standard gems!" A new bidder has appeared! The new bidder is Guest 100 and his bid is 140 standard gems! Is there a higher price! ”

There was an uproar in the public gallery, and all eyes were focused on the person arranged by the auctioneer who had placed the bid on Sidney's behalf.

After all, everyone can see that the previous 120 gems have basically reached the upper limit of the price, and the 100th stands out, and the first bid is 20 gems higher, obviously intending to take the tiger's mouth and make a final decision.

The face of the Holman mage sitting in the public gallery was very ugly, and the men sitting around him were all strong, and they glared back one by one at the people who were quietly peeking at him.

……

"Bastard, who's that number 100!"

In box 199, a young man with a handsome face and a somewhat gloomy demeanor shook off the beautiful maid in his arms and slapped the table angrily.

The reason for his anger is not only because he is determined to win the voodoo doll, but also because he has not made a sound until the 100th, and when he is about to take the voodoo doll, he suddenly intercepts it-

This kind of arrogance of ignoring others is simply a naked slap in the face, and it makes their previous bids like child's play!

"Check it for me, I must find out who number 100 is! He must die! ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, what you want will never run out of the palm of your hand - our men have already arranged it." A middle-aged man who looked like a subordinate on the side reassured.

The young man snorted heavily, grabbed the maid who had been thrown aside, and despite the maid's slight struggle, he reached into the thin robe and rubbed it vigorously.

……

In Box 100, the inside story of the conversation is not as complicated as others think.

"140 standard stones...... Although it is a little higher, the voodoo doll is useful to you, and it is worth it," Lin An nodded slightly, and said calmly, "This price fortress can't be auctioned, let's go to trouble each other again." ”

Sidney participates in the auction, and she is usually responsible for bidding on the things she likes:

One is to show the "subordination" between them in front of people;

The second reason is that Sidney never bids - he usually puts a psychological reserve price directly, and once the limit is exceeded, even if it is just a gold coin, he will not bid again, because the lot is only worth this price in his mind.

For example, this set of voodoo dolls, as long as someone bids one more gem than him, then Sidney will not sell again, and 141 standard gems, although the value is slightly higher, should still be in the acceptable psychological range for those who are determined to get voodoo dolls:

After all, voodoo dolls are rare, but they are not rare treasures, and there will be no sky-high prices, and the transaction prices of general lots in black market auctions are two or three or even four or five percent lower than those of normal auctions.

Of course, gold coins are not commonly used on the front line, but gems and ores in the loot are regarded as hard currency, and there is a certain premium.

If the auctioneer has the channels or is willing to collect, the premium of the gemstone alone is enough for them to make up a lot, after all, natural gemstones in the market in addition to jewelry, are often commonly used by mages, the consumption is very large, and it is not easy to fall in price, even if it is affected by this race war, after a period of ups and downs, Merlin will always control the ore market, and will not over-export, so that the price of ore will fall too much.

As he spoke, no one was shouting anymore, and Salin finally rang the golden bell, and it could be seen that as the auctioneer, he was also quite satisfied with this final transaction price.

Lin An looked down, Master Homan's group was very abrupt, especially the gloomy face of Mage Homan in the middle, even Lin An could see it very clearly.

"Next time you fancy something, just call it the psychological floor price, so as not to offend people needlessly."

"It's just some worms." Sidney said lightly.

"If there are too many insects, they can bite the mammoth to death," Lin An said, not asking Sidney to agree with her point of view, and casually handed over the sample book in his hand, "See what you like." ”

Sidney took the sample book and didn't look through it immediately, but glanced sideways at Lin An.

Her gaze was calm and focused, leaning on the right armrest, her hands folded on her legs, her upper body leaning forward slightly—as if expecting something, and her posture was slightly defensive.

This posture actually doesn't mean anything, in Sidney's mind, Lin An has always been cautious and calm, she usually doesn't deliberately hide her superficial feelings, but when she really values something, the emotions that are revealed outside will be quite rare, just like now.

Thinking of Lin An's expression that he had just noticed, Sidney didn't think there was no connection between the front and back.

The next item to come out is Lot 4.

Sidney remembered the numbers the maid had just said—"4, 19, 28, 35." ”

He thought that the mystery would not be so simple, but judging from Lin An's reaction, she seemed to have found the answer.

Sidney's face was blank, and he lowered his head and opened the sample book in his hand.
