471. The End
The name Aghanim's Scepter sounds very domineering, but it is not a weapon used by a certain god, nor is it a great artifact, but a mass-produced standard weapon, just like the terms of broadsword and spear gradient claw, it is a weapon type, but the name is slightly longer. X
Therefore, there is no such thing as a fake or genuine Aghanim's Scepter, as long as the head of the staff is made of a single piece of cobalt blue crystal, polished into this pair of spear-like sharp shapes, and the body of the staff is made of strong and durable Oham's steel, an alchemical synthetic material, and some changes are added to the design to facilitate the transformation into a flail and a meteor hammer, it can be called the Aghanim Scepter.
As for the performance, this thing is not very helpful in terms of spellcasting, because the cobalt blue crystal is basically a mana crystal that has not too many highlights except for being particularly hard, and its gain in spellcasting is mainly spell amplification, as well as varying the effect of spell casting with various runes engraved on the staff, but this work is generally adjusted by the staff holder according to his own needs, and the specific effect varies from person to person, and there is no fixed formula.
In some hands, its effect is to silence others and limit passive skills; In the hands of others, it may be possible to pray more quickly; There are also people who may just shoot a light that can be refracted and let the pigeons fly out come back like this, in short, there is no particularly definite effect.
Aghanim's Scepter is one such weapon that is unique in terms of design and effectiveness.
And the reason why it also has a resounding reputation in aristocratic circles, and has become one of the top collections of the kind that has no price, is entirely because the cost of the thing itself is expensive, the workmanship is complicated, although it is a mass-produced weapon, but the final production is not high, the stock is extremely rare, and the entire production process has been lost for a long time.
The reason, of course, is that the battlemages who like to use this thing are no longer suitable for this version and have completely disappeared... This thing can only exert 100% power in the hands of battle mages, and it is not as light and cheap as ordinary staff in the hands of other mages, so after the battle mage disappears, of course, no one will produce this kind of equipment that is not suitable for the times, which makes the surviving Aghanim Scepter extremely rare and precious.
Now this thing can reappear in the light of day, because the little mage, the leader of the battle mage, found the craftsman and shared the craftsmanship of this thing, and the craftsman taught the craft to the sponsor of the staff family, and this was remade.
Fortunately, the sponsor did not give up on himself because of the identity of the sponsor student, and worked hard to reproduce the Aghanim Scepter with a high degree of completion.
That's why Bai Yicai accepted this staff, and the long-lost craft reappeared, and it was quite suitable for his own use, and it was made by the students of the year, even if he didn't take the little Lori as a gift, he could satisfy Dean Bai.
Those veteran magnates naturally know about these situations, and even some people still have an old Aghanim Scepter in their homes, but the nouveau riche is different, most of them made a windfall in the previous catastrophe to sit in today's position, and they couldn't afford to play with such high-end toys before, and it is normal not to understand.
After listening to Bai Yike's details of Aghanim's scepter, the people who had spoken sarcastically before all blushed and lowered their heads in shame, while the staff-making nobleman held his head high and looked extremely proud.
"I'd like to order one if I can." Bai Yi opened his mouth and said, he was going to give this one to the little mage, and get another one for himself as a regular weapon, but now that the Holy Quartz Staff was taken by the lich and never returned, the only guys he could make were the Book of Surrender of the Ten Thousand Worlds and the Sword of the God of War, which were not easy to take out at any time.
"How much?" Bai Yi asked again.
"We don't plan to sell Aghanim's Scepter, and hopefully the Dean will also know that this thing is expensive and long-lasting, and it is not a suitable commodity, and we only intend to use it in exchange for friendship." The staff-making nobleman said loudly, "If an Aghanim's scepter can be exchanged for the friendship of Dean Hope, then I will give the two hands in stock tomorrow." ”
Is this guy planning to forcibly join the gang and stand in line? After knowing that the church broke with itself? After hearing this answer, Bai Yi thought about it in his heart, and it was obvious that the excellent sponsor made them realize the true value of the university as a cradle of talents, and it seemed that they would maintain a cooperative relationship with the university even if they were enemies of the church.
After all, for such a big family that is not short of money or status, talent is the most important resource for them, right? It seems that this family of cane makers is not retarded at all, but is much more shrewd than those nobles who have suffered from gains and losses when they hear that Bai Yi is going to work with the church.
A smart partner can still think about it, so Bai Yi said: "Let's talk about it after a while." ”
The staff nobleman nodded, called an attendant to whisper a few words in his ear, and the attendant hurriedly left, while he took the little Lori to sit in the back seat, patiently waiting for the auction to end.
The auction continued, and the nobles continued to start bidding, but from the third to the fifth were relatively mediocre offers, there were no long-term meal tickets, no legendary artifacts and long-lost mysterious crafts, all of them were rare materials similar to previous years, but perhaps because of the stimulation of the first few offers, the later prices were a little higher than in previous years, and there were even top-level materials such as the heart of the barbarian god and the feather of the angel.
You must know that these two things are difficult to obtain through ordinary channels, and the main source of the Barbarian God's Heart is the Templar Fortress in the south, which is obtained in the mutual attack with the demonic forces, which is the territory of the Church; Needless to say, Angel Feather is also only produced by the church, and these two things are often used by the church in exchange for the support of the big nobles, but these nobles use it as their children's tuition in the blink of an eye...
Can't these nobles have a stance and discipline?
The auction process did not make too many waves in the later auction process, and the places from No. 3 to No. 10 were replaced with various materials and filled in Bai Yina's warehouse comparable to the national treasury, and the last five remaining ones also entered the most intense link, although the nobles' offers did not increase much, but the tricks increased.
For example, in the competition on the 11th, an upstart who engaged in human trafficking behind his back presented a pair of twin sisters to Bai Yi, both of whom are pure and beautiful in appearance, but they are charming, and there is a most irresistible bewitching temperament in men.
However, Bai Yi is not a normal man after all, so he ruthlessly rejected the offer, and cast a questioning look at the pimp Duke South.
The Duke of the South shrugged his shoulders innocently and gestured with his hands, probably meaning that you are not married yet? What's so bad about adding two warmers for you? How beautiful do you see those two girls?
Of course, he wouldn't tell Bai Yi, but it was actually that guy who also gave him a pair of twins to get the qualification to sit here.
Bai Yi was speechless for a moment, there was no shortage of beautiful women around him, not to mention the pig humming or something, the little female dragon had been waiting for him, and Miss Wendini who was casting sharp eyes at the twin sisters on the side, she was now chatting with herself without more than three sentences and was going to get married... Even among the students, there are people who secretly send him love letters, although there are not many female students after excluding male students, and they can't be compared with those male teachers on the popularity list, but in general, there is no shortage of women around him Bai Dadean.
Bai Yi's refusal made the Duke of the South a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to consider returning it, although he was a little reluctant, he hadn't played enough, but he couldn't control Bai Yi...
But no one expected that the nouveau riche did not rush to leave after being refused, but showed a confident smile, showing the real killer weapon at hand He clapped his hands, and immediately two attendants supported a woman dressed as a noble lady with a black veil on her face and stood in front of Bai Yi, the woman was dressed like his female companion, wearing a gorgeous black evening dress, outlining her bewitching figure that was far superior to the twins.
The noble lady slowly unveiled her veil, revealing the beautiful face below, Bai Yi on the side and Videnina behind were suddenly stunned, this woman was actually Vidnina's mother!
"I met Mrs. Herroti by chance and helped her to escape the Church... Later, I heard that Dean Hope and Vice President Vidnina were looking for Mrs. Heroti, but due to the eyes of the church, they could only choose this opportunity to send Mrs. today. The trafficker nobleman said with some smugness, he had already guessed the result from the expressions of Dean Hope and the vice president behind him, and his gift was definitely something they couldn't refuse.
The former Duchess was still as young and beautiful as she had been ten years ago, and the years seemed to be unable to bear to leave their mark on her beauty, and she silently stared at Vidnina, their eyes filled with tears, as if they had a lot to say to each other.
Bai Yi on the side breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the number plate, and asked the trafficker, "You haven't touched her, have you?" ”
"Don't dare! Madame Herotti herself is also a legendary-level powerhouse, how can a mortal like me touch it? I have always treated her as a guest of honour and treated her with the highest courtesy. The trafficker hurriedly said.
Herotti on the side nodded at Bai Yi, bowed to the trafficker again, and said, "Thank you for your help in the most critical moment." ”
"It's my pleasure to serve a beauty like you." The trafficker said gracefully.
In the end, Bai Yi could only reluctantly hand over the number plate to him, but he didn't know what the trafficker was going to send in, and what he planned to learn, this university doesn't teach human trafficking and training women!
The traffickers left the scene satisfied, and Bai Yi turned back to Vidnina and said, "Go..."
Vidnina nodded, rubbed her eyes, and walked in front of Herlotti, looking a little cramped for a while, as if she didn't know how to face the mother who had abandoned her, but thinking of what happened to her at that time and the situation, she couldn't help but criticize her, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated.
And her mother seemed to have insight into her daughter's thoughts, walked up to her, cautiously stretched out her hand to her, as if asking her opinion, and seeing that Vidnina had no intention of refusing, she mustered up the courage to grasp her hand, and the mother and daughter walked hand in hand to the room behind the venue.
Bai Yi was speechless about this, after all, this is someone else's housework, but it can be regarded as a wish, right? Vidnina can only follow her own cold armor, it's pitiful, now that she has another relative, it's a good thing, right? It's cheaper than the trafficker.
After such a small episode, the remaining places have also been auctioned, Bai Yi naturally gained a lot, and even Miya on the side also got a diamond necklace as a gift, which was given by a jewelry family, the workmanship is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, and the little guy can't put it down in his hand.
The next fifteen places were all traded, and in general, most of the people who got the places were veteran aristocrats who had often participated before, and only 7 new nouveau riche successfully grabbed the places, which was not much different from Bai Yi's previous estimates, except for the trafficker.
The rest is to negotiate the investment of the engineer's puppet project, these things do not need to be accompanied by Xiao Miya, Bai Yi motioned for her to go back and rest first.
"Uh-huh." Mia nodded, but her attention was drawn to the new necklace in her hand.
"It's really beautiful, it will definitely shine when you wear it, you can bring it when you get married in the future, right?" Bai Yi touched her head and proposed.
"Huh?! Can I bring it when I want to get married? Miya suddenly raised her head with some dissatisfaction, and looked at Bai Yi aggrievedly, if this is the case, then won't she never be able to bring it?
"Ahem, this is not necessarily, in short, if you like it, okay, go back and rest first, I still have something to talk about here." Bai Ye said with some embarrassment.
"Hmm... Good night, Mr. Hope. Miya said, standing on tiptoe in high heels slightly, and stretched out her hands towards Bai Yi, in a posture of begging for a hug.
Bai Yi leaned over, rubbed his face with her according to the customs of the family, and the little guy left happily and went straight back to his home, very witty not to disturb the reunion of mother and son on Vidnina's side.
Bai Yi straightened up again and went to a small living room next to the venue.
