470. Have you seen the real thing?
Because of Bai Yi's words, the scene suddenly seemed a little subtle, and the tea merchant's expression was even more uncertain, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, including his son, who also had an expression of eating flies, and looked back at his father, as if he felt that this business was too bad. X
Whether it is a loss or a profit, the transaction has been completed, the old tea merchant finally sighed, bowed slightly to Bai Yi, said that he accepted the transaction, and then left the venue with his son.
"Father, is this armor really the legendary artifact?" The tea merchant's son followed behind him and asked in a whisper.
The old tea merchant shook his head, "I don't know, don't you look at the hope dean and can't be sure?" ”
"This..."The tea merchant's son had a complicated face, obviously still regretting it.
The old tea merchant seemed to know what his son was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Whether it's true or not, this thing is a useless heirloom for us, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's scrap copper and rotten iron. Look ahead. ”
After being preached by his father like this, the son pondered in his heart, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice: "I understand my father, I will work hard after entering school, and I can't let our heirlooms go to waste." ”
The old tea merchant felt his determination from his son's words, and a smile of relief appeared on his face, this unsuccessful boy was finally willing to make up his mind to do something, from this point of view, even if this armor was really a legendary mystery, this transaction was not a loss.
The tea merchant's father and son left, but the remaining nobles were still talking about the armor just now, so Bai Yi had to reiterate again: "Whether this armor is the mystery in the legend, or whether it has the power of the legend, I am not sure, I have to go back and study it carefully to understand." ”
He was telling the truth, the armor of the mystery is an ethereal and mysterious existence in the legend, unlike the Book of Submission of All Worlds, which has a clear functional positioning, this armor is just like its name, it is a mystery, after all, it is a thing that even those Void Walkers have never seen, and although it has its name engraved on it in the ancient Ruther Circle, it does not look like it came from the hands of the Ancient Ruther Empire, at least Rother XIX did not have any memory about this thing before.
Although the old man is very unreliable, he will definitely not forget such an important detail, and he will definitely not hide it from Bai Yi, after all, everything he can give from knowledge to inheritance to status is handed over to Bai Yi, and he is completely taught, he may not be so good to his own son.
As for Bai Yi's return... Don't let him play games, forget it, and burn the cards he has worked so hard to accumulate, so it seems quite chilling to think about it?
Let's go back to this latest piece of armor, the reason why Bai Yi made a decision the first time he saw this thing, on the one hand, he read the name of the magic circle, and on the other hand, he sensed some different flavors on this thing, the taste of rules, although it was very light and vague, but it was special enough, and it immediately attracted his attention.
And the reason why the master Dana found by the tea merchant couldn't identify anything special about this armor was naturally because they had not been exposed to the rules, and of course they couldn't see anything.
He has already encountered several things with the atmosphere of rules, the book of surrender of all worlds in his hand, the beautiful tight leather coat with three pigs humming, and the overlord butterfly in the hand of his 500-year-old granddaughter, and now with this mystery, they are all the kind of props that have a little bit to do with the rules, but they don't look like rules, anyway, they are not the same as the fragment in the hands of the Emperor of Forgiveness.
As for how these things are made, there is no clue, everything is the embodiment of rules, and from another point of view, everything can also be turned into a part of the rules, this thing is too mysterious.
Or is the current auction more realistic, after the first two rounds of bold bidding, the latter guests will inevitably hesitate, first the long-term meal ticket of the right to income, and then the legendary mysterious armor, as if it is just ordinary material equipment, it is not very good?
But the price always has to be opened, after all, there are only a few dozen people here, and there are 15 places, and the people behind may not be able to come up with higher goods, so a nobleman raised his hand, and took a stick wrapped in beautiful silk from a little girl who looked to be about 12 years old from his female companion.
Bai Yi cast his gaze, he didn't feel too much extraordinary taste on this stick, compared to it, the little Lori next to him looked quite delicious? Needless to say, the facial features are of course delicate and lovely, compared to Miya when she was a child, and the dress is a good play to the unique charm of women of this age, whether it is the pair of golden double ponytails or the slightly gothic-style dress skirt on the body, and even the white stockings on the legs, there is an urge to lick it...
Of course, Bai Yi definitely won't want to lick it, he is a decent person, not a gentleman of the church, but it can be seen that these nobles know Bai Yi's hobbies well, and even the small details such as female companions are in their favor, but this little guy definitely can't go to school, and his age is too young.
The nobleman took the stick, lifted the corner slightly, and after making sure that there was no problem, he handed it to the little Lori, and motioned for her to present it to Bai Yi.
Little Lori nodded obediently, holding the stick in her hands, walked in front of Bai Yi, stood on tiptoe slightly, picked up the stick, and said to Bai Yi in a soft and glutinous standard Loli voice: "I hope grandpa, this is a gift carefully prepared for you by our family, I hope you can like it." ”
Bai Yi nodded silently, and took the stick from her hand, but the expression on the mask was not so happy? This aristocrat has a keen grasp of his hobby, and has chosen the most correct process, and there is nothing wrong with Lori's words, but when rehearsing the lines, he got the wrong name...
What the hell is grandpa? It's not kind at all, okay? Although Bai Yi knows that his actual age is already very old, his heart is still very young, very open-minded, and very sunny! The style of acting on weekdays is also bold and unrestrained, pursuing blood and passion, longing for youth and love! In short, Bai Yi firmly believes that he is still very young at heart, and he can still do it, why was he called a grandfather all of a sudden!
Of course, he just complained about these thoughts in his heart, and on the surface it was still business as usual, and opened the package on the surface of the stick, revealing a staff-like thing underneath, the head of which was inlaid with a huge cone-shaped sappite, making this staff even look a bit like a spear with a particularly thick head.
"It's... This is Aghanim's Scepter?! A knowledgeable nobleman in the audience immediately shouted the name of this thing.
"Imitation." Bai Yi said in an affirmative tone, stretched out his hand and spun the head of the staff, and the entire head of the staff was instantly disassembled, but it was connected to the body of the staff with a string of chains, and it seemed to have become a flail or a weapon similar to a meteor hammer? Bai Yi even picked it up and waved it, and the heavy cane head brought out a heavy wind sound, looking at it, he knew that it would hurt to be hit.
The newly promoted nouveau riche aristocrats in the audience suddenly burst into laughter, and all kinds of sarcastic remarks were also exported.
"Hey, hey, right? Your Hendry family is also a thousand-year-old staff family, and it would be ridiculous to take out a fake, but it is still such a fake? What do you think Aghanim's Scepter is? Meteor Hammer? ”
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, this thing is probably used as a hand-to-hand weapon for mages when they have no magic power, right?"
"Don't take it seriously when it comes to making fakes, I'm afraid this cane family has become a mentally retarded family, right? I've heard that their family seems to like intermarriage? I'm afraid this rumor is true, right? ”
These words were uttered by the nouveau riche who had participated in this auction for the first time, but the other old nobles, as well as the figures of Miss Wendini and even the Grand Duke of the South, were silent, in fact, this was not the first time that this staff family had participated in this auction, and they had successfully sent one of their children to university five years ago with a staff of elegant shape, excellent workmanship, and exaggerated cost.
Now that the student had graduated a year ago, they began to send in a second heir, and the blacksmith academy led by the craftsman naturally wanted to enter.
As for that staff, it was given to her eldest daughter Tisgar by Bai Yi, but she doesn't do it much now, so she doesn't use it much, and there is a kind of regret that the pearl is dusty.
And this family of cane makers sounds like a poor family of craftsmen? But in fact, this is not the case, the staff as a high-end weapon, the profit margin is comparable to a luxury product, their family has been operating for many years, the background is very strong, it is a huge family that integrates production and sales agents, and it is also the leader of the staff industry, and it is a stable supplier of the Mage Association, and once wanted to be a supplier to the university, but the two sides did not negotiate on the price, and finally Bai also chose the one with a cheaper price.
Therefore, this nobleman who presented a fake staff, in the face of the ridicule of those nouveau riche, was completely sad and joyless, and he did not take it seriously at all, he had heard too many words of this kind of person.
On the other hand, Bai Yi was more like he was appreciating the genuine product, carefully examining the imitation of Aghanim's scepter at hand, looking at it extremely seriously, and repeatedly disassembling and assembling the head of the staff, and only after tossing and turning for a while did he take the head of the staff back again, and waved a complete staff in his hand like a long spear for a while, looking like he was about to speak.
The nobleman, who was still ridiculed and indifferent, suddenly looked a little nervous and cramped, without that light and breezy posture, it seemed that Bai Yi's next words would be very important, and he looked like a student waiting for the teacher's comments.
"It's close to perfection, but there are still some subtle flaws." Bai Yi said very seriously, and saw a tiny inscription on the bottom of the cane, which should be the name of the canemaker, right? So he asked tentatively: "The slight deviation of the counterweight will reduce the feel after the shape change, this should be caused by inexperience, it was done by a young man, right?" ”
"Yes! Its author is none other than none other than a graduate of the class of '06 of your college, Jossen Hendry. A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the staff-making nobleman, who seemed to be pleased and satisfied with Bai Yi's evaluation, and hurriedly introduced: "Qiao Sen presided over the casting of the entire staff, and he began to take over the work of the family after graduating from university, and now he is the pillar of the family. ”
"Just a year? Growing up fast, isn't it? Bai also responded.
"He is the pride of the family, and it is also my pride, thanks to the cultivation of the university, he can discover his talent and get back on the right path, I didn't expect the most stubborn child in the family to be able to take the lead now, I believe he will be very happy after knowing your comment, right?" The staff nobleman said with a respectful face, "But I will also tell him the shortcomings you pointed out, and give him a reminder that he will definitely strive for better in the future." ”
"Hmm... That's fine. Bai Yi nodded with satisfaction, and saw that a sponsor who was once a gentleman and did not seek to improve grew into a usable material, and he also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Then I hope Dean, are you still satisfied with this gift?" The staff-making nobleman asked quietly, he had already prepared a statement in his heart, and if Bai Yi was still dissatisfied, it would imply that his cute little Lori who presented the staff was also part of the gift...
However, Bai Yi nodded, handed a number plate to the person who was looking at him and said, "The thing is good enough, and more importantly, this is a gift brought back by the students back then, I am very satisfied." ”
Little Lori held the cold number plate in hand, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she bowed to Bai Yi with her skirt like an adult woman, and said crisply: "Thank you, Grandpa Hope." ”
Belch... Can we change the name? Dean, sir, it's okay, Ernie sauce or something can be accepted! Bai Yi secretly slandered to himself.
After the little Lori returned to the staff-making nobleman and the two left satisfied, an upstart in the audience couldn't help but stand up and said: "Master Hope, you know that this staff is a fake, not the real Aghanim's scepter, and even this kind of funny change can occur, why did you still accept it?!" ”
Faced with such a question, Bai Yi glanced at him with some amusement, and replied, "Then do you know what kind of weapon the real Aghanim's Scepter is?" ”
"Uh... The nobleman was choked speechless, even though he knew the name of Aghanim's Scepter,
