Chapter 128: Auction House
Don't look at the attack on this one, it looks like a scoundrel is fighting in a group.
In fact, these three old men are all quasi-saint-level figures, and after they heard the news of the appearance of Dingguo Coin, they all wanted to use their own strength to seize it, but they didn't expect to be easily overwhelmed by Lao Lu and couldn't raise their heads.
Old Lou's current behavior is to play with them, because the three of them are already dead in the eyes of this old fellow.
However, looking at their image of being left and right under Lao Lu, Tang Lin suddenly wanted to know why a master like them came to snatch a souvenir.
That's right, in Tang Lin's mind, that Dingguo coin is actually just a high-end souvenir, and in the legendary records, it is actually said so.
However, seeing the current situation, Tang Lin felt that he was afraid that he had missed some important information.
So in the end, Tang Lin asked Lao Lu to stay alive, and he wanted to interrogate these three guys.
When they heard Tang Lin say to stay alive, the three of them all felt that they had been greatly insulted.
However, they soon discovered that Tang Lin really had the strength to say such a thing, because they just felt a heavy blow from the back of their heads, and then the whole person didn't know anything.
When they woke up again, they found that they had been firmly tied there, unable to move.
Tang Lin appeared with a mask at this time, he walked in front of the three of them with Dingguo coins, and then asked suspiciously:
"Why do you want this thing so much? Isn't it a commemorative coin minted when the country was founded?"
In the face of Tang Lin's direct inquiry, one of the three was stunned for a moment and then showed a mocking look:
"The frog at the bottom of the well, how do you know the size of the Tianhe, where are you a wild child, how can you know the secret contained in this Dingguo currency!"
In the face of such ridicule, Tang Lin frowned, he felt that the other party's words were ugly, but he didn't take it to heart, but his loyal servant Lao Lu was different.
The next moment, this guy who laughed at Tang Lin was directly twisted and his neck was broken, and he died completely.
"Whatever my master asks, you can answer, if my master is in a good mood, maybe he will let you go, but if you don't know the current affairs, hmph, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"
Lao Lu's words were quite weighty, and the other two people were frightened by his rough behavior, and hurriedly nodded yes, where is there still the slightest appearance of a quasi-saint master.
"Then now which of you will tell me what is so powerful about this fixed national currency that can make you so popular?"
Tang Lin asked his own question again, and this time, no one dared to mock him, and the two guys scrambled to tell him a secret.
This secret is that the so-called Dingguo Coin, which actually contains something that changes the national fortunes of the Fallen Leaf Empire.
Hearing this, Tang Lin couldn't help but look at this Dingguo coin over and over again, until the end, he didn't see the kind of shocking clues from this thing.
"Be clear!"
Lao Lu looked at Tang Lin with a puzzled face, and immediately went up and kicked the two of them.
Next, Tang Lin finally heard a relatively complete story.
It turns out that this special version of the Dingguo Coin is actually a key, a key to open the Imperial Treasury Secret Palace.
The real secrets are hidden in this secret palace, but it is said that this Dingguo coin can only be obtained by those who have the destiny of heaven before it really appears.
And when it is not fully present, even if it is obtained, it is impossible to take it out completely.
"Well, when I melted off the camouflage layer on its outside, I did feel a particularly strong special power, but that power disappeared directly after coming into contact with my spiritual power!"
Tang Lin pondered for a moment and decided to choose to believe the words of these two people, but now the killing intent in his heart had decreased a lot, so he was ready to let them go.
"Lord Xie's grace not to kill, when I return to the Tang Clan, I will definitely be"
Just after this voice came out, Lao Lu directly killed this person, while the other person was stunned, not knowing what was happening.
"Do you have anything to do with the Tang Clan?"
Tang Lin's eyebrows were lowered, and he was very uncomfortable in his heart, for him, the Tang clan was already an enemy, and now he could destroy one of them, not to mention that he still coveted himself, if he was let go back, although he didn't show his face, but once there was any negligence, it would not be fun.
"It's okay, I'm from the Li family!" This quasi-saint was trembling in his legs and stomach, he had never seen such a brutal person, this was a quasi-saint, he would kill him if he said he would kill it.
"Let's go, while I'm in a good mood now!"
Tang Lin was also preparing to leave, he was a newcomer, he didn't want to make too much trouble, this one, just leave him alive.
After obtaining Tang Lin's permission, this person immediately took out the fastest speed he had ever been born and rushed home.
"Old Lu, have you heard any rumors about this Dingguo coin?"
Tang Lin also asked casually, he didn't expect Lao Lu to know something at all, and sure enough, in the end, he didn't count on it.
However, he didn't know, it didn't mean that Tang Lin had no way to know more detailed things, so he immediately packed up and prepared to go back to Feng Nan's house.
In Feng Nan's place, he should be able to know a lot of information, and now that he knows that this fixed national currency is so big, he also has a lot of other thoughts in his heart for a while.
After returning home, he immediately called Feng Nan, hoping that he could solve his doubts.
"Brother, I thought you knew, you don't know where the value of this fixed currency is after a long time?"
Subsequently, Feng Nan also told Tang Lin a story, but his story was much more detailed.
What he said revolved around these three Dingguo coins, saying that on the occasion of the founding of the country, the Fallen Leaf Emperor used the power of extraterrestrial objects and the blessings of himself and all the imperial lords to cast three Dingguo Divine Coins.
These three coins are Tiger Coins, Elephant Coins, and Deer Coins. This Tiger Coin represents the spirit of the king, and those who own this coin can awaken the Imperial Heavenly Nine Guardian Legion and help the Empire defend against external aggression.
In fact, as early as when the empire was invaded extraterritorially before, it was someone who used Tiger Coin to summon the Heavenly Nine Guardian Legion, and finally cleared the extraterritorial remnants.
The elephant coin can pray for the blessings of heaven and earth, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and this coin was also used when a natural disaster hit the country one year.
As for the deer coin, it has never been in the world, so no one knows its specific ability, but some people have said that this deer coin is cast in the image of the royal coat of arms nine-colored deer, so it represents the national fortune of the Fallen Leaf Empire!
Tang Lin suddenly felt that the deer coin in his hand was a little heavy, and he didn't know how to use it or when to use it.
In the end, Tang Lin still put this thing away, for him, don't think about things he doesn't understand, and it's okay to talk about it when he meets it in the future.
So he honestly began to prepare for his second mission.
This second task is to go to the auction house to sell your potions, which are somewhere between ordinary potions and legendary potions, which are very good things.
And Tang Lin also wanted to use this kind of thing to directly make his name appear in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.
This can be regarded as his official appearance, so Tang Lin feels that it is necessary to plan well.
He first brought his batch of potions to the largest auction hall in the imperial capital, and applied for auction permission in his own name.
At the beginning, Tang Lin was not taken seriously, because in normal times, a viscount took an item and said that it would be auctioned.
This auction house may still pay attention to it, but at present, there are not five hundred but three hundred nobles gathered in the imperial capital, which is not a rare thing, plus such a thing as a potion, the identification procedure is very cumbersome, and it is difficult to say whether it is true or false, so Tang Lin was not treated very warmly when he went to the auction house for the first time.
However, Tang Lin was not discouraged, and he quickly prepared for a second visit, only this time, he did not go as a nobleman, but as a magician.
He first went to the Ministry of Magic in the Imperial Capital to re-certify his magic level, knowing that he was now a fifth-level magician.
And he's also a magician in the whole department, so as soon as he entered the Ministry of Magic and completed the certification, he immediately attracted the attention of many parties.
Then there's Irina, who is also a certified magician, but in order to pretend to be her own magic power, she only shows the appearance of a fifth-level magician.
So in the end, she also became a fifth-level life magician, whether it was the whole department or the life magic department, the appearance of these two people immediately became the center of today's Ministry of Magic.
When they knew that Tang Lin was still a nobleman, the news about them immediately spread in some special circles in the imperial capital.
For a while, many people knew the name Tang Lin, and at this time, with the blessing of such a reputation, when Tang Lin came to the auction building again, at least the people who received it were much more enthusiastic.
However, when he took out the potion and asked for an auction, the other party was still a little skeptical, after all, there are too many fakes in the current potions.
Tang Lin touched his magic badge and motioned for him to read the line clearly to increase his credibility.
"It's really all magicians? I thought those guys from the Ministry of Magic were bragging again, since that's the case, then the lord must have made this potion himself, and we'll get the results right away!"
None of them knew what kind of potions all the magicians could concoct, so they had to ask their own chief taster to evaluate it.
The chief evaluator is named Lu Lang, and he is also a multi-line magician, and he is also highly accomplished in potions, and has studied here for many years.
The first time he got the potion, he gave the answer that it was not fake, and soon, he began to enter the detection process.
When he took a sample and experimented on a dragon horse beast as required, he immediately ran downstairs in a panic and rushed over after Tang Lin.
"Master, please forgive the unreasonable people of the small shop, we will definitely arrange the best auction venue for you!"
This auction hall is divided into three areas in total, which are silver, gold and diamonds, and with this Lu Lang's words, Tang Lin's potions directly entered the diamond area.
This result is exactly what Tang Lin dreamed of, after all, this diamond area can only be entered by people from some big powerful families, and being able to show his strong strength among them will leave a deep impression on this imperial capital.
However, there is one thing that is also a bit troublesome now, that is, diamond auctions do not happen every day, like today, and they will not open until tomorrow.
Tang Lin has no objection to this, after all, standing on other people's land, there is nothing wrong with following other people's rules.
Tang Lin honestly waited until the next day, and this day's wait was not in vain, because the auction hall introduced the things to be auctioned the next day.
Especially for the potion contributed by Tang Lin, it took a lot of space to publicize.
It can be said that many people today are coming for this potion.
Because the diamond auction is already open, the other two auction classes are automatically closed on this day to make way for diamonds.
Of course, it is not closed all day, the main thing is that the morning time is completely caught.
At this moment, Tang Lin took the admission ticket that had been prepared a long time ago and entered the auction hall.
The main venue of this auction house has many independent and divided positions, but there is no so-called private room as Tang Lin imagined.
So when the time comes, it will be clear who is fighting for what, of course, there are all big forces here, and it is in the imperial city, so naturally there is no need to worry about what Xiaoxiao will come out to grab things.
Things like yesterday's black market don't show up in this auction house, because you don't take something right away after you auction it.
This is the special protection set up by the auction house, your belongings can be temporarily stored in the auction house, although someone knows that you have sold something, but no one can know when and how you will pick it up.
It is this kind of protection that makes the business of this auction building particularly hot, of course, the reason why people dare to set up such means is also inseparable from their strong background.
After everyone was seated, the auction soon began, Tang Lin did not observe the lots, his attention was focused on the people on the field.
With Feng Nan's introduction, Tang Lin learned a lot about the forces, and at the same time, he also knew more about the relationship between them.
In the end, Tang Lin found a problem, that is, he didn't see the people of the Tang family.
He was very puzzled by this, he didn't say anything else, just said his own potions, even if he Tang Ming wanted to study himself, he should send someone to come here.
This point is indeed Tang Lin's thoughts, it's not that no one from the Tang family came, it's just that no one came in person.
Afterwards, Feng Nan pointed out a direction to Tang Lin, and there were three people sitting there, and they represented the forces of the Tang family.
