In addition to these two bigwigs of the "Ruin Council", there are many people in the upstairs box who are not easy to mess with, such as the goblin shaman with skulls and various feathers all over his body, the storm ratman with three arms due to some kind of mutation, the ogre butcher with tattooed totems, the necromancer who exudes the breath of death, and the grave knight in black armor, etc., these people may include the rest of the council, but Brienne doesn't know him.

The "Ruin Council" is the product of a compromise between the mediation and competition of many parties, and the nine seats represent the most powerful forces in the neighborhood and are also the backstage of the black market.

The council is re-elected every ten years, and the forces that stand out can send spokesmen to have a certain voice, and at the same time, a small number of elite troops must be sent to join the gatekeepers to ensure that the black market has enough guards.

This system not only keeps the black market under the protection of a strong background background, but also avoids the possibility of a dominant company to the greatest extent, although there are often internal disagreements, but at least in the face of external enemies or competitors, it can ensure unanimity with the outside world.

“…… Its starting price is 100 Dimensional Stone Coins! ”

A gasp brought Brienne's attention back to the auction, the first lot of the night had been revealed, and the high price instantly ignited the excitement of everyone present.

It was an ore with a silvery-white metallic glow, about the size of a normal wooden barrel, but from the fact that it took two strong men to lift it to the center of the stage, it was definitely dense and heavy beyond imagination.

"Meteoric iron, it turned out to be a piece of raw meteorite iron!"

Fitandila said in surprise in Brienne's ear.

I see, no wonder the starting price alone is so expensive.

Meteorite is recognized as the most powerful and valuable metal ore in the Warhammer world, it is not naturally formed, and may not even be an item of this world, it is said to be related to the portal explosion of the ancient saints at the poles, because they only exist in the dimensional stone veins, and are an extremely rare associated ore.

It was the dwarves of the mountains who first discovered the value of this metal, and they refined the raw meteorite into three different forms of metal through a unique processing technology, namely Mithril, Adamantite, and the legendary Holy Steel.

The most common of these is "Mithril", which can be obtained by purifying the raw meteorite with a certain technique, it is twice as hard as steel, but only one-fifth the weight of the latter, it is the best rune container, and the equipment of the most elite Iron Crushing Warriors and Hammer Warriors in the Dwarven Kingdom is mixed with Mithril, and a rune equipment made entirely of Mithril is definitely the treasure of the Dwarven Clan.

Even rarer than "Mithril" is "Adamantite Gold", its processing steps are much more complex than the former, in short, it is an alloy of meteorite iron and various different minerals, its forging technology is an untold secret of the Dwarven Kingdoms, in addition to being extremely hard and sharp, the most special property is "Demon Breaking".

A person wearing Adamantite armor can be completely immune to all magic below Cataclysm, but in contrast, the wearer himself cannot use magic under any circumstances, and can enjoy the buffs of any magic, with the only exception being the integration of the Dwarves' unique rune technology in the process of crafting Adamantite equipment, which undoubtedly requires extremely high forging skills, so Adamantite equipment with magical attributes is rare, the most famous of which are the twelve "Rune Fangs".

As for the last metal, "Holy Steel", which is said to have the effect of banishing the energy of chaos, it is said that its method of making it is at all times and only known to a Dwarven Rune Lord, who must spend his entire life crafting a Holy Steel weapon, but often until the end of the dwarf's long life, he cannot achieve this seemingly simple goal.

The only weapon of holy steel in the world that exists in the hands of the Emperor is the famous warhammer "Gail Malaz", also known as the "Skull Crusher".

So theoretically speaking, meteorite can be forged into three metals with completely different properties, but they are all extremely powerful, but the latter two processing techniques are the most precious secrets of the dwarves, only the refining method of "Mithril" is a little simpler, even so, the value of meteorite is far more than gold and dimensional stone.

This is also why as soon as the unrefined raw meteorite in front of him appeared, it caused many people to scramble.

Although the volume of the ore in front of him was not large, and after purification, he might only get a fist-sized Mithril, but its price still quickly climbed to more than 300 dimensional stone coins, and finally after fierce competition, it was sold at a high price of 380 dimensional stone coins, which was more than ten times the previous finished dwarven axe.

The buyer was the evil forest goblin shaman on the third floor, although I don't know if his tribe has the technology to purify meteorite, but looking at his laughing expression, you can guess that this guy is very satisfied with his harvest.

The success of the first lot proves that the Champs-Élysées is not in vain, and that this meteorite mine alone is enough to make its final appearance at other ordinary auctions, and this seems to be the most common of the ten lots tonight, which makes everyone look forward to the next auction.

The goblin auctioneer knew that the iron should be struck while it was hot, and after the meteorite was removed, Lentil began to introduce the next lot without stopping.

A glassware filled with a transparent liquid was brought up, seemingly ordinary and unremarkable, and for a while doubts arose, and it seemed that everyone present did not recognize what it was.

The answer was soon revealed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me briefly introduce that this is a poison called "White Snow", which is made from dimensional stone powder, and its effect is ......"

It turns out that this is the latest invention of the "Mord Clan" among the Skaven Ratmen.

As one of the four most powerful clans of the nezumen, the "Mord Clan" is best at alchemy and biological modification, and they use this carefully developed poison to be colorless and tasteless, and there is no abnormality after drinking, and the only effect is to make the magic in the caster's body dissipate instantly, like summer snow, and dissolve without a trace.

What's even more terrifying is that the bottle of "White Snow" now auctioned is not like ordinary potions, which are only effective for some low-level spellcasters, and its target range includes all levels of legal professions, from the supreme mage above the ninth ring to the first-ring mage who has just started, none of them can resist the effects of this potion.

However, perhaps the scary news has not been digested, or perhaps it is not widely used enough, so when the auction began, the reaction in the hall was far less enthusiastic than the previous meteorite.

But Brienne's expression was much more serious than before, because the first person to shout out the starting price of 150 Dimensional Stone Coins was none other than the mage of the "Broken Wheel"!

Turns out they're here for this potion!
