72.Gathering Fire Scroll (II)
The noise in the auction hall did not subside in any way due to the appearance of the first orc warrior to auction the two ores he had brought, and only some of them stopped talking and paid attention to what the orcs were selling, even Viru, who had been sitting on the sidelines, turned his head and whispered in Jonbach's ear, his eyes flickering with the beating of the flames of the fire-gathering scrolls in the charcoal brazier, I wanted to know what he thought of our scrolls, but I couldn't ask at the moment.

Sister Guoguo was the first person to read the fragment of the "Detailed Explanation of the Basic Practical Array of Inscriptions", as a water magician, she knew best what was introduced above, and knew that my ideal was to be an inscription master, and knew that I had a little bit of weak magic power and my own ability to perceive magic elements, and several conditions were undoubtedly pointed at me in series, and then turned to me and asked: "You went to the magic potion store yesterday?"
This question is self-evident, it is to ask me if I am buying magic ink in the magic potion shop, and with a slight hesitation on my face, a look of surprise appeared on Sister Guoguo's face. I can't defend myself, to be honest, I did go to the magic potion store yesterday, but I really didn't buy magic ink. I lowered my head a little weakly, but I heard Sister Guoguo put her head in my ear and asked softly, "Did it last night?"
Qige suddenly hugged me beside me, leaned over to Sister Guoguo and whispered with a smile, "Can I do it?"
Sister Guoguo decisively said "hehe" twice, and didn't ask any more.
Spring hunting on the Pai Plateau is the most important event of the season. No one dares to enter the northern foothills of the mountains to chase the herd of bison in the col in the snowy winter, not only because there are infinite traps and killing opportunities hidden under the ice and snow, but also because there are all kinds of powerful magical beasts living in the mountains of the northern foothills, and the overlords of these mountains rule the entire plateau and mountains, and even the best beast hunters will stop here before the winter comes. From spring to summer, because the ice and snow on the wasteland melted, large herds of bison and magic antelope came out of the cols of the northern foothills, and the orcs on the plateau began to hunt and nomadic life, and only at the end of summer will they look for some valleys where wild corn grows and sandy land suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes, and collect and store these wild crops as reserve food for the long winter.
In the spring, many orcs need to make some preparations before entering the wasteland. During the long winter, the hunters of the tribe polish the arrows to a sharp, well-trimmed feathers, and sharpen their hunting knives and coat them with butter for the arrival of spring. However, there are still hunters living on the plateau who live by hunting all year round, they will chase the footsteps of the unicorn bison with the change of seasons, and in the long winter they will follow the unicorn bison to run thousands of miles away in the mountains of the southern road of the Pai Plateau, and return to the northern foothills of the wasteland after the end of the winter to prepare for spring hunting. It was in this context that the Yemeni Town Chamber of Commerce Federation began to hold frequent private auctions in order to acquire rare materials and goods in the hands of these hunters.
Maybe we have a secret that no one else can share, which makes the relationship between Kig and me even better, and I think I may have become the best friend of some beautiful girl who can talk about everything, and I have mixed feelings about this. Qige was very interested and patient, paying attention to every item in the auction, from a piece of Mithril Poor Ore to a few Demon Emperor Grass, and even some out-of-the-way alchemy materials would be curious to pay attention to their prices. And he always likes to pull me to discuss it. I didn't understand anything, so I could only follow her humming and coping, and she was not annoyed, but enjoyed it.
Caterina sat down to the side and became a good girl, even looking at the auction house without squinting, and even I secretly slapped her little hand through Kigra, which made her blush and pulled her hand away without paying attention. I think before the auction officially began, the reason why the free auction was held was probably because the people in the venue could raise enough gold coins, and the things that could be sold from the free auction were really all kinds of strange things, and there were even people who carried a mysterious iron box up to the table for auction. In short, some people are happy and some are sad, some people will return to their seats with a happy face and wait for the official auction to begin, and some people will not sell their own goods, silently take them into their arms and walk off the stage with a wry smile.
When the auctioneer Ke Luo once again showed his figure and walked on the stage, he was still holding a slender iron tong in his hand, I saw him put the iron tong into the charcoal brazier and pinched the corner of the sheepskin scroll, slowly turned the iron tong to roll up the sheepskin scroll with fire, a magical scene suddenly appeared, the raging flame on the sheepskin scroll that was only the size of a palm suddenly disappeared, leaving only a magic scroll that emitted a wave of heat, which was clamped by Koro with iron tongs, and the other hand was skillfully trapped with a rope made of horse lotus grass, carried it in his hand and circled around the edge of the square platform, and showed the magic scroll to everyone on the field to take a closer look, and said as he walked: "Everyone, please see, this is a magic scroll that can be used repeatedly, after the calculation of Elder Tiberias of our Elders of the Federation of Commerce, the magic power stored in the magic ink in this scroll can maintain the burning time for up to two days and nights, and because this scroll is made of magic antelope skin, it is well known that the magic antelope skin has good fire resistance, so this product can be used repeatedly when the magic pattern is not damaged, Elder Tiberias tips: This product in the case of high temperature, the magic ink attached to the surface of the sheepskin is in an active boiling state, any carelessness can cause the magic ink to leave the original nick, causing the magic circle to fail, so please be cautiousγ β
With the fire gathering magic scroll of the famous identification aura, it can also be used repeatedly, which undoubtedly solves the most headache problem for the hunting team in the northern foothills of the wasteland in the spring, which is seriously short of fuel, and it is impossible to let the people in the team chase the sheep for several days and nights without stopping, and they can't drink a mouthful of hot water or eat a mouthful of cooked food. In the past, hunter teams would bring plenty of rye cakes and semi-fermented yogurt wine, which were the best foods to replenish physical strength and easily digest in a hurry, and could be eaten without heating. But now with such a handy magic scroll, it will make grassland hunting much easier.
I glanced at Kig suspiciously, and it just so happened that she was looking at me as well.
The two of us are the people who are most familiar with this magic scroll, but the two of us don't know that this scroll can be put away and reused after use, and the magic book does not say that this fire gathering scroll still has this effect, I always thought that this scroll was a one-time item, so I looked at Qige with some confusion, where did I think that the big question mark on her forehead was even more obvious, and the flashing light in her eyes was clearly saying: What did you do, how can you change the attributes of the scroll?
But she looked at me with a strange expression, and opened her mouth slightly, staring at me with her eyes, and didn't say anything for a long time. Her expression clearly understood that I didn't know the situation either, and was in a crash. Sister Guoguo also saw our strangeness a long time ago, but she didn't come to our side, but asked Qiangbach on the side in a low voice, and she didn't know what she was muttering, a woman in love!
"This is the last item in this free auction, due to the large number of scrolls in this auction, so we will auction the scrolls one by one!, below, the first fire-gathering magic scroll, 20 silver coins starting at auction, start now!" Auctioneer Ke Luo wore his straight tunic and stood in the center of the square platform with his stomach shy, carrying the magic scroll in one hand and the other finger in the air, his tone became higher and higher.
This makes me feel like I am back to the original world when I was a child, posting slogans, shouting slogans, college students wearing Mao suits standing on the stage and giving impassioned speeches, I sat in front of the TV, although I didn't know what they were talking about, but I also envied them, especially when I heard that they lived in the city, and they could eat three fresh noodles and eggs every day, at that time, I would salivate when I thought about it. But now seeing that Ke Luo is also wearing such a very contemporary costume, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, I really miss it!
"Twenty. β
"Twenty-one. β
"Twenty-five silver. β
At the beginning, the burst of quotes drowned out everything.
When everyone found out that there were so many people shouting at the same time at the beginning, they immediately realized that there were still a lot of people who wanted to buy them, and even if there were more than 20 scrolls, it was unlikely to be auctioned at the basic price of 20 silver coins, so they began to compete fiercely for the first round.
"Sixty-two silver!"
The minotaur warrior raised his fist and shouted angrily, the sound of which caused the dust from the ceiling to fall and swirl like smoke through the glees of sunlight from the patio windows. He carried a whirlwind axe more than a man tall behind him, and sitting on a wooden chair in the stands was as ridiculous as an adult sitting on a small bench, and I think even the people sitting next to him would never dare to laugh at him, because the strength of the minotaur is absolutely proportional to his weight.
I thought this would be the highest price ever paid for the first scroll, but I was secretly glad in my heart, and stretched out my hand to estimate how much we could profit this time, when an old orc shaman, with a shriveled figure holding a short banner in his hand, stood up, and there was silence all around the auction room, and he said in a dumb voice with half-squinted eyes, "Seventy silver coins." β
Silence.
Even the auctioneer on the field, Koro, was so stunned that he didn't know what to say, until the orc shaman raised his eyelids to Koro, and then he was so frightened that Koro wiped his forehead, which was nothing, and said loudly: "Deal!"
After this seventy silver transaction was over, all the magic scrolls after that did not fall below this price. In the end, when there was not much left of the scroll, there was a final small climax in the auction room, and the last scroll was actually sold for a high price of ninety silver, you must know that this is already close to the price of ordinary scrolls, and you must know that ordinary magic scrolls are only floating at the price of one gold coin, I think the most fundamental reason why these Gathering Fire Array magic scrolls can be sold so expensive, is because they can be used repeatedly, and more people present buy back scrolls not for use, but for research!
At this time, Sister Guoguo also turned her head and asked me, "That scroll can be reused?"
I was stunned again, speechless.
She nodded understandingly, and said to me, "I'm going to you in the evening, I want to see it!"
I turned my head to look at Kige, who was staring brightly at the blue sky outside the window on the ceiling patio, not knowing what he was thinking.
