Chapter 46: The Auction (2)
…
"This auction item is from Balkdor's remnant - Miss Jasmine!"
Seeing the girl's appearance, the people in the audience discussed a lot.
"Balktor, it's the small country that has a connection with the demon race, hasn't it been dealt with by the temple a long time ago?"
"Yes, but this small country is rich in beautiful women, and it is said that when the temple surrounded them, they were abducted by slave traders, and I don't know how they got here."
"Hey, whatever Namodo does, it's just fun, this is a woman who has been raised since she was a child and has not been polluted, she must be excited to play... Eh, it's time to shoot, I'll pay 20,000! ”
The host announced the start of bidding, and interested people began to bid.
"That's not what I'm looking for," the black cat shook its head and glanced at Reese in disgust, "You humans are really disgusting, you actually sell your own kind!"
Slave trade like this is the norm in society, Reese can naturally understand, but he doesn't like this kind of behavior, so in the face of the black cat's questioning, he didn't refute, just smiled awkwardly and turned his head to look at the booth.
Bids from buyers are rising step by step, and it seems that this good-looking blue-haired girl is very popular.
"Seventy thousand gold coins."
At this time, a box on the upper floor called out a new price, which was 20,000 gold coins higher than the 50,000 price just called. It seems that this blue-haired girl is bound to be won by the owner of the box.
And after shouting the price in this box, several buyers who were still bidding just now also stopped talking and stopped talking.
"Box No. 5 bids 70,000 gold coins, does anyone else offer a higher price?"
The auctioneer did not give up asking everyone, but did not receive the due response, so he had to give up the idea of making more money.
"Seventy thousand gold coins once, seventy thousand gold coins twice, seventy thousand gold coins three times! Deal! Congratulations to Guest Five for getting Miss Jasmine from Balkdor! ”
The maiden named Jasmine was eventually bought by the guests of Box Five, which was the box of the Lord of Nigal, Budon.
Nigal City is the second largest city in the north after Wintersnow City, and in terms of size, it is actually not the second. The northern territory is open and there are countless large-scale cities, and the city of Niagal is really inconspicuous in it, and it is actually the Nigal branch of the temple that makes it famous.
As the largest branch of the temple in the north, the believers of the temple in the north will come to the Nigal branch to worship, and it is well known that Archduke Andrew is friendly with the temple, so although the scale of Nigal is not large, the voice in the north is still very high.
In the same way, as the lord of Nigal, Buton is also very well-known, and people are more familiar with this, he is not only the lord of Nigal, but also a devout disciple of the temple.
However, Bridon has an obvious drawback, and that is his penchant for beauty.
"Why is it that all of a sudden no one has increased the price?" Luna asked, confused.
"It was Buton from Box Five who asked for the price just now, and he is a veteran snake in the North. Buton raised 20,000 gold coins at once, just to let others know that he had a certain heart for this blue-haired girl. If you make another offer at this time, it will be offending him, and buyers are not willing to get into big trouble for a woman. ”
"That's right..."
Luna nodded understandingly, but finally put the question behind her, no matter what they humans do, she came to Lillian.
As Luna and Reese talk, the cage containing the blue-haired girl has been returned backstage, and new lots have been carted onto the stand.
This time, the lot is not as large as before, although it is covered with red satin, it can also be seen that it is only a spherical object less than half a person high.
What is it exactly?
Looking at this strange shape, everyone was curious, and they had the urge to get a glimpse of what things really were.
"This auction item is a strange treasure accidentally obtained by the Night Moon Caravan in the north, and according to the reports of those present at the time, this strange treasure caused a thunderstorm."
When the cart arrived in the center of the booth, Ruskin did not immediately tear off the silk covering the cart, but introduced the origin of the lot, which made the already interested people more and more curious.
"What is it?"
"That's it! Don't sell it! ”
"Hurry up and let us see!"
A few buyers sitting in the front row even waved their arms and shouted, urging the host to quickly tear off the unsightly satin.
"The next auction is the dragon egg!"
Ruskin's voice was raised in vain, and he grabbed the red cloth and pulled it hard, and a huge black egg was displayed in front of everyone. The black dome, which is more than half a man tall, is covered with intricate and mysterious stripes, like a tightly woven net. Anyone who has been to the Demon City can recognize at a glance that those weird lines are magic patterns.
"That's it! Hurry, buy that! ”
As soon as she sees the black egg, Luna excitedly asks Reece to buy it, although she doesn't know how Lillian turned into an egg, but the mental induction can't be faked!
"Don't worry, you can't quote yet, you have to wait for the host's introduction."
Luna wanted to be furious, but she also knew the rules of the auction, so she had to say:
"What if someone else buys it?"
"Don't worry, as long as the auction sells this egg, I can buy it for you, and in the north, I still have this right."
Compared to Luna, Reese is much calmer, but he also begins to think about the relationship between the black egg and the black cat. And Ruskin on the stage also began to focus on the black egg, introducing the preciousness of the auction items.
"Everyone knows that the dragon clan is a powerful race second only to the demon clan in the demon race, when the god of light and the demon clan started a war, the main thing to deal with was the demon clan and the dragon clan, and when the demon clan was defeated, the demon and the dragon clan were also defeated by the god of light at the same time, and disappeared on the continent from then on.
Unlike the Demon Clan, although the Dragon Clan perished, it still left a lot of legacy, including Dragon Eggs.
Although there are remnants, the number of dragon eggs is scarce, and since the new era, it has never appeared in people's field of vision, and this dragon egg is likely to be the last one left outside! ”
Ruskin gestured with his fingers, and after attracting everyone's attention, he spread his palm and waved it at the black egg,
"So, what's next..."
Ruskin was about to announce the start of the auction of dragon eggs when a female person in charge of the auction stepped up to the front and stopped Ruskin from speaking.
The woman whispered a few words next to Ruskin, and his face changed a few times. However, when the woman left the stage, Ruskin also returned to his natural and generous demeanor again.
"I'm sorry, everyone, the appraiser of the auction suddenly discovered that there is an unknown problem with this lot, and for the safety of the buyer, this auction house needs to re-appraise the lot!
As a sign of our apologies, all guests who participate in this auction will receive free tickets to the next auction. So, the next auction item is, Warcraft Crystal Nucleus! ”
After explaining the unexpected situation to everyone in two sentences, Ruskin introduced the newly sent auction items, and although the buyers were a little unhappy, it was not good to say anything about the ticket compensation.
Besides, the dragon egg is just a collector's item, and it won't make everyone crazy; They were just a little curious about what was wrong with the egg.
"Why is it not sold all of a sudden? What's going on? ”
Unlike the others, Luna knew what the egg was, and she was about to let Reese buy it, and she was about to find Lillian, only to be taken away by the auctioneers.
"Don't get excited, I'll ask someone about the situation."
Reece also frowned, although he bought this item because of the black cat's coercion, but he was also very interested in this strange black egg, if there was no result, and not to say whether the talking black cat would spare him, his own curiosity could not be quelled in the first place.
Reese touched the teleportation stone, and the door of the box clicked open, and the previous guide walked in respectfully,
"Lord Reese, I wonder what you command?"
"Go, ask me about the situation of that black egg, what happened to the accident, will make the Night Moon Chamber of Commerce recall the auction items, you can figure it out for me." Reese commanded in a serious tone.
"Yes!"
Feeling Reese's serious attitude, the guide didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as he agreed, he quickly left the private room and went to the backstage of the auction house to inquire about the situation...
