Volume 3 Senior Entrustment Chapter 3 Auction (II)
"Alright, please be quiet." The auctioneer calmed everyone's dissatisfaction and said loudly, "Next, let's move on to the next anonymous auctioneer." An adventurer who came from afar to participate in our auction - Miss Yu! With the introduction of the auctioneer, Eucaly, wearing a strange black rabbit head mask and holding a staff covered by a red scarf, trembled to the center of the auction table.
"Allow me, then, to take the liberty of asking, Miss Yuu. What kind of treasure are you bringing to you today? The auctioneer asked nervously as he looked at the item in Eugari's hand, which was covered by a rough scarf.
"Ah, this, this. I, I'm today. Eugari stammered back.
"Stupid! Don't be nervous! Miria in the audience shouted quietly when she saw Yujali, who was trembling nervously when she spoke.
"No way, she's never spoken in front of so many people." Konya sighed.
"It's a magic staff, a magic staff. A spell-attacking, staff. Yugari replied nervously.
The auctioneer looked at Eugari's nervous appearance and became even more worried. However, he still pretended to be calm and continued, "So can you first tell us about the long history or beautiful story and legend of your priceless staff?" ”
"Huh? That, that. Yujiali's mind felt blank at this time, and she replied very nervously, "How can I say it, this one doesn't seem to have any history or story, just an old staff that was used before." Now, no need to, so, take it out and sell ......"
"Hahaha......" Yujiali's answer caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
"It seems that I can't waste time at this auction in the future."
"It's really a non-standard link."
The guild representatives in the audience were very dissatisfied with the discussion, and some of the representatives had even gotten up and prepared to leave the venue. Miria also covered her forehead helplessly, feeling very embarrassed.
"Uh...... This one...... Miss Yu is really a humble person. The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his forehead in embarrassment, not knowing how to sell the item, and he tried to maintain order in the audience while saying, "Please be quiet." So I guess it's at least a very good "Finesse" weapon, right? In this case, it must have its advantages, and please briefly introduce it. ”
"It's, no, it's not, it's not a 'fine-class' weapon." Yugari replied nervously.
"Coax-" The sound of the inverted color in the audience became stronger and stronger. The voices of complaining are even more up.
"What...... What......" the auctioneer asked, obviously at a loss, "you mean, isn't this a 'fine-level' staff?" Could it be that you're only auctioning off an "excellent" staff? The auctioneer's expression at this time was extremely desperate, and his mentality had reached the verge of collapse.
"No, it's not." Yugari hurriedly shook her head and replied, "This is, a 'rare' staff. ”
Although Yujali's voice was not loud, the venue suddenly fell silent, so quiet that Yujali seemed to be able to hear her nervous heartbeat. Shi Shi, who was originally sitting in the box and was drowsy, also widened his eyes at this time, as if he had been cast some magic, waiting for something.
"You, what did you say?!" The auctioneer asked incredulously, "Really?" Are you sure? If the description does not match the auction item, it will be severely sanctioned by the Guild Alliance! ”
"No, that's right." Yugari shouted, "This is a "rare" all-attribute spell attack staff called "Staff of the Fallen Angel" called "Fallen Angel". Also, it comes with the "Finesse-level" magic enhancement effect that was injected before! With that, Eugari removed the scarf from her staff. A staff composed of two violet wings and emitting a faint dark energy around it immediately appeared in front of everyone. The soft and flowing feathers of the cane danced as if it had given life under the focus of the lights of the venue, and the silver-white cane shimmered with a little metallic light, accompanied by a faint dark aura that lingered around it, this depraved and mysterious charm caused a deafening scream to erupt from the audience. When the auctioneer saw it, he was even more excited, like a child who had just been redeemed, and tears of excitement filled his eyes.
"Did you hear that?!" The auctioneer shouted hoarsely with all his strength, "Next, what is going to be auctioned is perhaps the greatest item ever auctioned!" A weapon that is absolutely unsellable in the market, and cannot be measured by money at all, is the "rare level" weapon that all adventurers dream of! Speaking of this, the audience once again resounded with a tidal wave of cheers.
"Not only that, but it also comes with an extremely powerful "Finesse-level" magic enhancement! All the adventurers here who demand top-notch weapons and equipment, isn't this the ultimate that you have been pursuing all your life?! So, what are you waiting for?! Get your bidding cards ready and don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Driven by the auctioneer, the atmosphere of the venue has reached its peak at this time.
"So, may I ask Miss You, no, Lord You." The auctioneer excitedly complimented, "What is the starting price of this incomparable 'rare level' weapon?" ”
"Huh?" Youjiali was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself, "The starting price, the starting price?" This one...... Three hundred, plus five hundred, plus three hundred...... That ......"
"One thousand one hundred gold. The starting price is ...... One thousand one hundred gold. Yugari replied nervously.
"What?!" The auctioneer's voice startled Eugari, and then he whispered to Eugari, "You can raise it ten times higher." ”
"Ah...... No, right...... That one...... I think that's good enough......"
"Okay. It doesn't matter, it's definitely going up anyway. With that, the auctioneer shouted loudly to the audience, "Did you hear that?" The starting price of this rare "rare" weapon is only 1,100 gold coins! It's unbelievable, I want all the ...... to be there"
"Your Excellency. The person in charge of the auction at the venue has just sent a message to confirm the bid for this "rare" weapon, and to inquire about the upper limit of the auction. At this time, in the box, the man standing next to Shi Shi said respectfully.
"Cap?" Shi Shi smiled sarcastically, "I've never heard of such a restriction, I have to find a way to get what I want, I don't believe there are people here who are richer than me." No matter how much money you have, you have to buy it. ”
"My subordinates understand." With that, the man bowed and exited the box.
"Well, I'm not going to talk any more nonsense." The auctioneer made an exaggerated gesture and shouted, "Now please take the bidding cards in your hands!" Start bidding! ”
Before the auctioneer's words landed, the guild representatives were already scrambling to raise the signs in their hands.
"Ten thousand gold!" The auctioneer pointed to a raised bidding card and shouted, "The representative of the Family Guild has bid 10,000 gold coins!" ”
"Here, fifteen thousand gold. Twenty thousand gold. There, twenty-five thousand gold. "The auctioneer kept bidding higher prices. Yujiali next to her looked at this scene dumbfounded, and stood in place in a daze and was speechless.
"Fifty thousand gold! Representatives of the Dependents' Guild have once again raised the price to a new level! It deserves to be the richest guild in the country! So, is there a higher price?! ”
"What? 60,000 gold! Not to be outdone, the representatives of the Rainbow Magic Academy here have given out 60,000 gold coins! 70,000 gold! Seventy-five thousand gold! The competition for this masterpiece is really fierce, which also fully shows everyone's recognition of the value of this "rare level" weapon. To be honest, if I can afford to make so much money, I will buy it even if I smash the pot and sell iron. This is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of the identity and status of a top adventurer and even a top guild! ”
"Don't bother with them anymore, why don't you hurry up and get my favorite staff down." Shi Shi in the box looked anxiously at the staff in Yujiali's hand, and his eyes were full of extreme possessiveness in addition to impatient eagerness.
"100,000 gold! The family guild got 100,000 gold! ”
"120,000 gold! The representatives of the Star Scars Guild here have also joined the fierce competition! Over there, 130,000 gold! ”
"Two hundred thousand gold! Oh my God, the Dependents' Guild has paid 200,000 gold! If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the highest bid in the history of the auction. I wonder if anyone else is offering a higher price?! ”
At this time, the venue, which was still full of people just now, suddenly became unusually calm, and there were bursts of sighs.
"If only I had money...... "There seemed to be a few complaints from nowhere.
The auctioneer waited for a while, and after confirming that there would be no higher prices, he shouted excitedly, "Then, I am very excited to announce that the greatest "rare-level" weapon in the history of the auction, the Staff of the Fallen Angel, has finally been owned by the Dependents Guild at a price of 200,000 gold coins!" ”
Almost at the moment when the auctioneer announces the sale. A tall and thin man wearing a mask of mourning suddenly jumped into the stands, and this person was Jia Yong. At this time, he was wearing a set of light blue armor, wielding a solid sledgehammer in his hand, jumping deep and high, and smashed it at Youjiali overwhelmingly, "This weapon, I want, give it to my brother!" ”
Seeing this uninvited guest coming towards her, Yugari immediately withdrew with her staff in her arms and jumped back, flashing a considerable distance. A whistling sledgehammer slammed through the floor of the auction table with a loud thud, and the flying rubble went on a rampage, and the auctioneer in the distance was nearly scratched by a flying debris. Seeing that the hammer did not hit Youjiali, Jia Yong immediately picked up the sledgehammer again and ran towards Youjiali. At this moment, countless fires suddenly rained down from above the auction table, each of which opened its bloody mouth like a fiery snake and devoured it from top to bottom. Jia Yong hurriedly adjusted his body, covering his head with a sledgehammer, and at the same time quickly retreated backwards, leaving the range of Fire Rain's attack. A continuous and violent rain of fire continued to crash on the floor of the auction table, burning a sea of blazing fire between Youjiali and Jia Yong.
As the flames quickly subsided, a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume and holding a light blue crystal staff, with a graceful posture and a charming appearance, appeared in front of Youjiali. This person was Shi Shi, the president of the Dependents' Guild who was still sitting in the box just now. She stood beside Yujiali at this time, and said arrogantly and elegantly in front of Jia Yong, "As the auctioneer said just now, this staff is already mine. If you're interested, you'd better leave it at that. Before the words fell, a huge figure fell straight down from Shi Shi's box, and with a heavy sound of landing, standing firmly in front of Shi Shi's side, it was Shi Shi's proudest personal bodyguard - Gen, a half-orc warrior with an unusually tall body and black heavy armor. At this time, he was holding the mountain opening giant axe in his hand, and he stared at Jia Yong not far away with angry eyes.
"It's Shi Shi and Gen." The audience was talking.
"It's the first time I've seen her so close, it's so beautiful. I want to ......."
"Stop dreaming, look at Gen next to her, a veritable 'god of war'."
"yes, just looking at the appearance makes people shudder. It feels like one hand can crush someone. ”
Just when the audience was talking and the flames on the stage were about to be extinguished, Jia Yong once again rushed in the direction of Youjiali with a sledgehammer. But before he could get closer, Gen stretched out his arms, swung the giant axe, stepped forward, and slashed at Jia Yong's shoulder. In the collision of the giant axe and the sledgehammer like the sky and the earth, Gen stood in front of Shi Shi as motionless as Mount Tai, Jia Yong staggered back a few steps to the edge of the auction table, and almost fell down.
"Click, click." "Not bad. I didn't lie down in a head-on confrontation with my bodyguard, which is really commendable. Shi Shi clapped his hands and smiled sarcastically.
At this time, the guards of the auction had also arrived, and they quickly surrounded each other with weapons.
But Jia Yong didn't seem to care about this, he kept holding the sledgehammer without saying a word, staring at the staff in Yujiali's hand with both eyes. Suddenly, Jia Yong's whole body was covered with a layer of white light, and even Miria, who was sitting a little farther away, could clearly feel the powerful energy that erupted from his body. However, just as he was about to make an impact, a man of his stature, wearing a light gray suit and a laughing clown mask, jumped up on the auction table and blocked him.
"Let's go back. This is not the place to cause trouble! A deep voice under the mask said.
"But ......," Jia Yong still wanted to argue.
"Hurry up! There's still important things to do, so don't waste your time here! ”
"Yes!" With that, Jia Yong immediately jumped off the auction table, brandished a sledgehammer, rushed out of the surrounding guards, and quickly escaped from the auction with the man wearing the laughing clown mask.
After Jia Yong and the others left, the auctioneer hurriedly contacted the staff to clean up the venue. Yujiali also thanked Shi Shi very politely, "That's ...... Thank you so much for your help. Yugari said a little shyly.
Shi Shi turned around, with an intoxicating smile on his face, and said gently, "Where, I still want to thank you for the goods you brought." So, we'll see you at dinner. With that, he left the auction table with Gen and walked in the direction of the box.
Although it took a lot of effort, the staff was able to rebuild the auction table so that the auction could continue for the rest of the day. As everyone present was ecstatic with the auction items brought by Eugari, the auctioneer regained his confidence and began to introduce the next anonymous lot to everyone.
"It's finally over...... Yugari breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the backstage. At this time, Li Yaqi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately rushed up.
"Oh yes! We're rich! Li Yaqi hugged Youjiali and shouted excitedly, "Buy me a servant!" ”
"No way!" Yugari flatly refused.
"Why?" Li Yaqi asked with a sad face.
"I'll give it to Channa-sama after that, and I'll explain it to her. So you can't spend any more money before that! ”
"Then don't mention the fact that I bought a pet?" Li Yaqi asked.
"And I bought a fishing rod." Konya chimed in.
"And ......"
"No, you can't!" Without waiting for Brala to speak, Eugari refused.
"Don't ask to buy anything here anymore. Enough of that. "Now let's find a place to rest. We'll have to trade the goods before the dinner later. Do you have any plans? Do you go to all the dinners? ”
"I'm not going, I'm going to try my super invincible gorilla! Hahaha! Li Yaqi said happily.
"If you don't summon it when you fight in the future, I'll sell it at the next auction." Yugari complained.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take it with me anytime in the future." Li Yaqi said, "The next time you fight, I will definitely let you see how powerful the gorillas that I have trained are!" ”
So they walked out of the auction hall with a smile and a smile, first having afternoon tea in a green-themed restaurant, and then passing the time at the nearby game center. At about dusk, they returned to the auction center again and went to the designated venue to trade the goods according to the arrangement of the auction. Li Yaqi was very happy to receive his gorilla, Conya was also happy to get the super fishing rod, and Blana received a whole cart of frost fruits. Although Eugari had been given a lot of gold coins, she had a reason not to be happy.
After that, Li Yaqi and Conya were eager to show it as soon as possible because they had received the goods they wanted, so they drove a cart of frost fruits back to the hotel with Brala. Only Eugari and Miria are left to attend the masquerade party in the evening.
