Chapter Seventy-Four: Not as Big as You
The atmosphere suddenly changed from serious to somewhat ambiguous.
Anna watched Raymond's expression gradually become a little obscene, and said in a strange tone, "Hey, hey, do you stinky boy want to have some crooked ideas?" ”
Raymond rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly, "That... Mentor Anna, you didn't say there was an auction tonight, and I didn't bring much money out..."
Anna saw through his clumsy performance at a glance, and said with a joking smile: "I said it earlier, you brought the money?" ”
In the end, she didn't forget to mend the knife, "Do you have any money?" ”
“...”
The corners of Raymond's eyes were full of black lines, and he didn't slap his face like this.
However, he did have more than a million quarks in his system package. But in today's formation, no matter how you look at it, this amount of money is not enough to stuff your teeth.
Anna didn't plan to continue teasing him, and said, "I'll help you take a picture of it later, after all, the codex is not sold exclusively today, and the price won't be too high." ”
Raymond showed the expected joy, "Thank you..."
"Don't be glad first, this money is borrowed from you. I'll pay it back later! ”
Anna counted like a qualified miser, snapping her fingers: "It takes a lot of money to fight the war... To buy equipment, to recruit people, to build ships... That's a bottomless pit. So, when you have money in the future, you will pay me back the money. ”
"That's fine."
With soft hands, Raymond always feels a little weak-hearted, and feels like he is going to be pitted. After thinking about it, he still took the initiative to ask, "That... It can't be a loan shark, right? ”
Anna couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw his serious and cautious look.
"Of course not."
She showed her trademark shrewd fox smile and said, "I'm just curious, how many secrets do you have to hide from me?" Let's hear it... For example, how did you become Aldrich's disciple? Also, how did you get those three-barreled strange guns? How do I think that you are real except for the name, as if every word you say is fake..."
Raymond breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as it's not a loan shark, and it's not a cheating task, everything is easy to say.
"That's a long story... There was a troubadour..."
"Speak human words!"
"I can't explain it in a few words... Or later? ”
“...”
......
After listening to Anna's introduction, Raymond knew that the "status of the rivers and lakes" of the White Shark Tavern was much higher than that in his game.
The owner behind the tavern has great powers, and legend has it that he has some contacts with almost all the major forces in the Black Sea. Even the most famous pirates on the bounty list have informants in the tavern.
Because of this, many shady things can be openly discussed here.
For example, the ransom transaction of meat tickets,
And this blatant auction of stolen goods tonight.
"You see, the man at the auction table is Chapman, the owner of the White Shark Tavern."
Raymond looked in the direction of Anna's gaze and saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. He wears a crisp suit, a black high-necked bodysuit, pointed leather boots, and short shiny hair. He looked sturdy like a male bear. The bulging muscles seem to tear the clothes on the upper body, and the visual impact is extremely strong.
Well... It's like the kind of "thug in a suit" who keeps a straight face all the time.
Raymond swallowed, his eyes seemed to see a mountain of meat, and he didn't recover from the shock for a while.
However, he also muttered something in his heart.
It stands to reason that this kind of guy who looks very good at fighting should be a key NPC in the game, why doesn't he have an impression?
Since the White Shark Tavern has such awesome NPCs, how can it not be famous in the game.
......
One after another, people entered the auction hall, and in a short time, dozens of temporary cubicles were already seated.
Raymond glanced at it slightly, and although most of them were cloaks to hide their faces, he could roughly guess something. It is estimated that these people really want to show their identities, and I am afraid that they are all boss-level characters who used to be in the game.
The auction is presided over by a scantily clad bunny girl.
When the choppy girl came to the stage, Raymond unconsciously swept his gaze over.
"Yo, you like this?"
But it was this glimpse that Anna captured.
Her eyes flickered, and Raymond looked at the bunny girl with interest.
But she didn't look as sneaky as Raymond, and at the end, she commented generously, "Men like this." ”
Raymond glanced at Anna's graceful figure shrouded in a cloak, and said quietly: "No matter the appearance, temperament, figure... It's all far worse than you..."
Not as old as you... He didn't dare to say this.
"Well, there is vision."
Anna nodded solemnly, the corners of her mouth showing a satisfied arc.
......
There are so many strange things to be auctioned at this auction.
Weapons, muskets, martial arts, potions, all kinds of sea beasts, crystal nuclei, magic demons, alchemy products... There is a lot of variety, you name it.
However, a few of the items appeared to be normal, and the vast majority of the others looked incorrect.
Like the knight's armor of a lord's exclusive coat of arms, the 'famous' sword of a certain family, or the goods that were robbed by a certain chamber of commerce some time ago...
Anna herself photographed an object, "The Logbook of the Nahir".
A journal with a big gimmick but little practical value.
This is a logbook found on the ironclad ship "Nahir", which has disappeared for 30 years, and the only thing that attracts Anna is that the ship disappeared in the Nightmare Ghost back then, and then floated out again 30 years later.
Of course, now not only is the hull tattered and mottled, but the crew is also untouched.
The only valuable thing is some data on routes, ocean currents, and wind directions that are automatically recorded in the machine.
But everyone knows that the direction of the currents in the Nightmare Ghost is not regular at all, and even if there is a logbook, it is not of much reference value.
Anna stubbornly filmed it anyway.
Raymond didn't stop her from spending such a sum of money, but looked at it with interest, and after finding that it was garbled data, he was no longer interested.
......
"The auction item below is 'Sodros's Codex of Swordsmanship'. The price is 3 million quarks per piece, and the limited edition is three. ”
Finally, it was the codex's turn.
"The price is so low?"
When Raymond heard this price, he was very surprised, and he was a little puzzled in anticipation.
This kind of top-level swordsmanship inheritance is impossible to auction outside on weekdays. Now there is a piece by chance, and the price is so low?
Even if it's a beginner swordsmanship, this is not normal.
Bunny: "We are obligated to explain a little more before the auction. This codex has been verified by us to be the personal note of Sodros. Only half, though. There are only moves in the notes, and there are no qi methods, so its value is greatly reduced. ”
Raymond understood.
It's like the "sword technique to ward off evil spirits" in the novel, with only sword moves, no mental methods. The power is one in the sky and one in the earth.
However, this was also expected by him. This castrated swordplay codex is also the popular version that players can obtain through normal channels in previous games.
But even so, the auction price was too low.
At this time, there seemed to be an insider next to him, shouting.
"Only half of this codex is still sold for three million? I've heard that this thing doesn't just seem to be sold by Philip, but dozens of surrounding territories are commissioned at the same time, and it's basically a stall. I don't know if it will take a while, and any kendo gym will be able to learn it for a little money. ”
The Auction Girl calmly explained, "The only thing we at the White Shark Tavern can guarantee you is that the auction item is the original version that has not been deleted. As to whether the employer sells elsewhere, this is beyond the scope of our interpretation. ”
Someone said: "Half a primary sword technique, even if it is the inheritance of Sodros, the value is not high." ”
Although most of the people who participated in the auction were covered faces, the people who probably entered here were more or less people with some status. This kind of crippled primary swordsmanship is really attractive.
There is a lot of talk about it, but there are very few people who actually make a move.
Finally, it took a long time for the first person to shout.
"The guy who consigned this thing is also a thief, it seems that the price is not high, and dozens of territories are sold at the same time, no less than selling solitary books. That's it... I should also spend a little money to buy a peace of mind. I can still trust the credibility of your White Shark Tavern. ”
This is probably the only place where people are willing to pay for it, spending money to buy peace of mind. White Shark Tavern is a guarantee of reputation and no adulteration.
Anna on the side was also a little worried, and said softly: "If you only have sword moves, it is not even as good as some other complete sword techniques of low grade." I didn't expect it to be like this..."
She asked Raymond what he meant, "Why don't you forget it, I'll find you a better one next time?" ”
Everyone understands that now that the descendants of Sodros have been wiped out, and only half of the Codex has been obtained, it is not certain whether the other half is still alive.
3 million to buy such a chicken rib is really not cost-effective.
But Raymond is different, he knows where the other half of the codex is!
Seeing that this thing was going to be missed, Raymond said at the last moment: "Let's shoot it." ”
......
Raymond had already bought what he needed, and he should look at the auction items later.
Even if you look at it, you don't have the money to buy it.
This is Philip's largest black market auction, and the further back you go, the more valuable the auction items become, and there is even a Sequence 6 transcendent potion appearing.
The Black Sea is so big, and there are very few potions masters who can refine Sequence 6 potions.
Even Raymond's master, Aldrich, does not have a high success rate in Sequence 6.
This kind of high-grade potion is generally a strategic material that is strictly controlled by the major forces, and the possibility of outflow is extremely low.
Obviously, the potion came from the wrong way and could probably cause big trouble.
But this still can't stop everyone's passion for bidding.
In the end, the potion sold for nearly 80 million quarks.
......
There is no murder in the novel, there is no forced buying and selling, and there is no pretending to be forced to slap the face...
An auction is a normal underground auction.
Until a middle-aged man with a scar walked into the venue.
Raymond suddenly had a strong sense of crisis in his heart,
Only then did he realize that he had encountered the most dangerous moment of life and death since he crossed this great world of navigation!
