For Pique, the auction house in Peace Town is a strange place. Despite its location in the heart of the town of Peace, Pique has never been to it once.

The interior is elegantly decorated, with seven or eight rows of leather seats in the lobby on the first floor, and a huge booth at the front of the seats.

On the second floor, there are more than 10 private rooms surrounded by curtains, and you can look down from the second floor to see the whole venue. Such private rooms are reserved for the kind of rich and powerful nobles. Presumably, Hasjia will be there in a moment.

In the lobby, half of the seats were occupied. Soros picked the middle seat in the back row and sat in. He was surrounded by either pot-bellied businessmen or jeweled high-class people.

After a while, a middle-aged woman in a red dress who looked like a noblewoman sat next to Soros.

Soros smiled politely at her, and the other person's eyes widened, and after a brief pause, he sat down next to him with a smile.

Soon, the seats on the first floor were full. Soros leaned there, muttering. "Pique, I felt a mental force around me. ”

"It's my mental power," Peake admitted, "and I'll look for Hasgar." ”

"Oh, so you're still a magician. ”

"What does psychic power have to do with magicians?"

"Huh, isn't it popular for the current mainland magicians to use spiritual power?"

"I've seen two magicians," Peake thought of time magic and the meteorite rain outside Josson. "But what does this have to do with mental power?"

"If you don't know magic, then what do you do with your mental power?"

"I can use my mental power to manipulate the noble cane made of Sandy wood, which is very easy to use for fighting and sneak attacks. ”

"Uh, Pique, you're so nice. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Using mental power to control a wooden stick to fight is equivalent to using a spear to stab ants, okay? Don't you know that mental power is very precious to a magician?"

"It's precious, but I don't know magic, huh?"

"Who is your teacher?"

Peake remembered the old priest who had lost his eyes, "I don't have a teacher," he muttered, and then said, "It was an old priest who taught me how to use spiritual power." ”

"Old priest?

"yes. ”

"It seems that the Cult of Light on the continent has really risen. Soros said thoughtfully.

"Didn't you have the Cult of Light in your time?"

"Of course there is, it has existed since ancient times, and the existence of the Cult of Light can be traced back to at least three thousand years ago. But in my day, the Cult of Light was just one of many sects. ”

"One of the many sects?" Peake thought for a moment and said, "But a thousand years ago, there was only one Sect of Light left on the continent! If there is no misprint in the ancient books, I remember that the other sects disappeared a thousand years ago!"

"A thousand years ago?!" Soros exclaimed, "Has it been a thousand years......"

It was the first time that Peake had felt Soros make such a surprised expression, "Don't tell me you've been dead for a thousand years. ”

After a long time, Soros didn't speak again, but when he spoke again, he changed the subject, "Is this the Sandy wood you are talking about?" Soros rubbed the noble cane in his hand. "It's not like Sandywood!

"Mulberry wood is very rare? I have a lot of them at home. ”

“......”

I don't know how long it took, but the hall on the first floor was already full, and at a glance it looked like there were at least a hundred people, not counting the guests in the private room on the second floor.

Living in a peaceful town for twenty years, even the Odin and the Yodelman, Peak has seen some of them. Even if he didn't know him, he could see a familiar face, but here, all he saw were unfamiliar faces.

Unlike the local merchants of the peaceful town, these guys have a special temperament. Not like the nouveau riche merchants who wore gold and silver, Peake saw that they all had a restrained smile on their faces. The gestures seemed to have the flavor of aristocratic ceremonial nature.

At this moment, a master of ceremonies in a dark black gown stepped out of the backstage, holding a triangular barrel-shaped object to his lips to amplify his voice and ensure that everyone in the auction room could hear him.

"Dear gentlemen, ladies!" shouted the master of ceremonies. "For all of you, on behalf of our Timberwolves auction house, I would like to express my most sincere greetings to you!"

Timberwolves auction house?Peake was a little puzzled in his heart, why did the word Timberwolves always linger in his ears?

After a round of applause, the master of ceremonies then shouted: "As far as I can tell, there are many guests coming from far away, and everyone has their own identities, and I think you already know the rules of the auction house......"

"Stop being verbose!

"Hahahaha!" After the master of ceremonies was interrupted, he was not dissatisfied, and hurriedly covered up his embarrassment with a burst of laughter. "Don't worry, let me say one last thing: this auction has received strong support from Baron Hydgvi Yarr, and half of the coins obtained from the auction will be sent by Baron Hydgvi to the disaster area in the south!"

"Good!"

"Baron Hygivi is doing well!"

“......”

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from under the display stand, and it seemed that Baron Hygivi's name was still very useful. The master of ceremonies wiped the sweat from his head, and when everyone's mood was high, he hurriedly announced loudly: "Next, the first exhibit will be revealed! Please be ready to bid!" As his words fell, the maid on the booth untied a red curtain.

Suddenly, there were puzzled expressions on everyone's faces.

Someone below shouted, "What is this?

"Yes, it's just a very ordinary walking stick, so it won't be auctioned off at the booth. ”

"Take out the treasure of Baron Hygivi's press box, and we'll all be waiting to see Baron Hygivi's treasure! Isn't it written on your invitation that there is a treasure of Baron Hygivi? Is this Baron Hygivi's cane?"

Originally, the master of ceremonies still wanted to leave a suspense, although this was not Baron Haijvi's cane, but he did plan to borrow the name of Lord Baron. However, at this time, hearing everyone's disdainful expressions, he immediately changed his words and introduced: "This is not a simple noble cane, as far as I know, this is a noble cane handed down from ancient times, with a special material. Please see me show you!"

Swish!

No one could have imagined that the master of ceremonies took out a long sword from under the booth. The glittering light shot into everyone's eyes under the glow of the light, "This long sword is made of Valyrian steel, the hardest steel on the continent!" he finished explaining, and with a loud roar, he slashed at the noble cane!

What is this for? Everyone looked puzzled.

The aristocratic cane can be sold at a casual carpenter's shop, and a good quality of twenty or thirty silver coins is enough at most, and it is true that it will not be on the table, but it will not be split on the spot?

Bite!

A beep rang out in the auction room!

The humming continued for a long time, and the guests sitting at the front were so shocked that they covered their ears.

Finally, the sound of the steel clashing died down amid an exclamation.

"How is that possible?"

"Valyrian steel is constantly chopping?"

"How can there be wood that is harder than steel?"

“......”

A round of surprise rang out in the auction room. The corners of the emcee's mouth couldn't help but smile.

The effect had worked, and he cleared his throat. "Everyone!" he shouted: "This noble cane comes from ancient times, and it is impossible to verify how many years it is, but some professionals have pointed out that such a noble cane has been passed down for at least a thousand years!" "This can't be said to be a cane anymore, but what kind of wood can be harder than steel?

The master of ceremonies pondered for a moment, looking at everyone with thoughtful expressions, he slowly induced, "Some people say that this is the scepter of an ancient king, and some people say that this is the magic wand of a magician!"

The master of ceremonies was very satisfied with his ability to express himself, originally, he did not prepare so many words, but he just wanted to briefly introduce that this was Baron Hygivi's family heirloom cane, but after seeing everyone's reactions, he was very satisfied with his ability to improvise. "I think everyone already understands the preciousness of this cane, and now the bidding begins, and the reserve price is ...... A thousand gold coins!" he wanted to say a hundred gold coins,

"One thousand and fifty gold coins!"

"One thousand one hundred gold coins!"

"A Thousand ......"

Soros looked thoughtfully at the noble cane on the stand, "This guy is right," he nodded, affirming: "This is indeed a cane that only magicians are qualified to have, except for magicians, at least people at the king level can deserve such a cane!"

Pique was stunned, yes, he was in a daze. He looked at the aristocratic cane on the stand, and his mind was already completely messy!

What is this?

Isn't the one on display at the booth above a noble cane made of Sandy wood?

When did it become an antique from a thousand years ago?

The King's Scepter?

Magic wand?

"1,300 gold coins!"

"One thousand three hundred and eighty gold coins!"

The price continued to climb in the field, and seeing the momentum of everyone's enthusiasm, the emcee couldn't interject for a while.

"A cane made of Sandy wood must be worth ten thousand gold coins. Soros commented: "The love of magicians, inlaid with a magic crystal becomes a veritable magic wand, which is indeed worth 10,000 gold coins." ”

Peake was silent.

"Pique, do you have 10,000 gold coins on you? Soros advised: "I don't need so much now, it's worth spending a few thousand gold coins to buy a Sandy Wood!"

Do you think I have gold coins? Peake thought silently, he did have dozens of gold coins on him, and that was what was left over from a squeak win at the casino...... Squeak, yes! Crunch once went to the casino and won more than 100 coins. "In pockets," Pique prompted, "I have a pocket in my underwear." ”

Hearing this, Soros put his hand into his chest and took out a note with two fingers. "Yo!" his eyes lit up. "Is this the bank's note? 40,000 gold coins, 250,000 silver coins? It's a little less, but it's enough to deal with such a small scene. ”

"Wait!" said Peake, "what are you going to do?"

"Of course I bought that cane!"

"Look with your eyes!" said Peake suddenly.

Soros was stunned, and looked with my eyes, "Didn't I teach you?" "How is this the same?"

"I told you my cane was made of sandy wood!"

"You said you had a lot of them, and I thought you were joking. Soros was shocked.

"There are indeed a lot of them, my family sells this, three copper coins each. ”

“......”
