Chapter 63: The Auction

After dinner, Cizer and Diablo were bored at the door of the hotel, watching the crowd come and go, drinking one drink after another.

I heard that this hotel was owned by the grandmother's father, and it has been in Norton City for 50 years. It's just that since her father and husband passed away one after another, because she has no intention of taking care of it, the hotel's business is getting worse day by day.

However, the grandmother had no heirs, so she sold the hotel to the City Lord's Mansion, and when she died, the ownership of the hotel went to the City Lord's Mansion.

Now my grandmother runs this hotel just to continue her old life, and occasionally she can have a companion with acquaintances who come to stay overnight.

Cizer didn't know how Susan knew the old woman, but seeing that they were talking very speculatively, he didn't want to disturb them.

"Cezel, shall we go out for a walk?" said Diablo, taking a sip of the red drink from his cup and patting Cezel on the shoulder.

Cizer thought for a moment, looked back at Susan, who was having a good conversation with the old woman, and felt that it was not interesting for him to stay here, so he said.

"Okay!

The two walked into the crowd outside, although they were not familiar with the people here, but it was always a lot more lively, and there were all kinds of stalls on the street, and the two did not know how many novelties they saw.

After walking somehow far, the two finally stopped in front of a gorgeous and unusual gate.

"Norton Auctions?" Diablo said word for word.

Cizer saw a familiar figure slowly leaving inside the transparent glass of the door, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Auston!"

It's just that maybe it's too far away, and the back didn't stop because of this, not even a pause.

So Cizer pulled Diablo directly and wanted to go in, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the attendant at the door.

"Hello sir, our auction today is private, you need an invitation to enter, do you have an invitation?"

The attendant asked politely, but four points of light lit up one by one, as if to warn them not to mess around.

Cizer didn't have an invitation, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity to go in, so he asked.

"Isn't anyone else allowed to go in except for those who have an invitation?"

The squire thought for a moment and replied.

"No, if you are the owner of an auction item, you are also eligible to enter the auction house. In addition, we will arrange the seats and services according to the value of the auction items you consign. ”

As soon as Cizer saw that there was a play, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

"Well, we're going to entrust your bank to auction something, please arrange a quiet place for us. ”

"Okay, this way, please. The attendant skillfully opened the door sideways for the two and led them into the passage on the side of the hall.

At this time, Diablo lowered his voice and asked, "Cizer, what are you going to sell? If you are kicked out, you will lose face. ”

Cizer didn't answer, just looked at Diablo to reassure, and he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Cezel to a room.

An old man with gray hair was already waiting in the room, and when he saw Cizer and them, he smiled.

"Two guests, I don't know if you have anything to hand over to our auction house for auction? ”

Under the gaze of the white-haired old man, Cizer said slowly.

"I want to sell a recipe and here's a sample. ”

Cizer took out a dark blue potion from his pocket and handed it to the appraiser. And he took it carefully, for fear of breaking it, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he put the potion on the table.

"Sorry, please wait a minute. ”

When the appraiser reappeared, he had an extra leather bag in his hand.

Then, under the strange gaze of Cizer and the others, the appraiser took out a lot of bottles and cans from his leather bag, as well as all kinds of fine needle-like things.

I saw him pull out the stopper of the blue potion, carefully dip a little bit with a fine needle and put it into a small glass bottle. After diluting it, he sniffed it and poured it on a special piece of paper, and when purple marks appeared on it, he drank the diluted potion.

"Well, a good sedative, more than twice as effective as ordinary sedatives on the market, and it also has the effect of stimulating the flesh, it is a rare auxiliary cultivation item, and it is indeed eligible to be added to the auction. ”

Cizer and the two breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, what Cizer took out was his own "improved" blue bottle oral liquid. Unlike Professor Old Merlin, the oral liquid he made reduced the duration of the action, but nearly doubled the effect in a short period of time.

Even old Merlin was full of praise for his innovation.

However, Cizer is still unsure whether it will be able to enter the auction, because the cost of this thing is also as much as twice that of the original Blue Bottle Oral Liquid. Luckily, it looks like it's within their acceptable range.

"Wood, bring two distinguished guests to our auction house, and make sure to show what makes our auction house special. Also, I wish you both to buy your favorite things at the auction. The coins sold will be settled after the auction ends. ”

After giving some instructions, the white-haired appraiser told Cezel that he had written the recipe and took it to the back, and the two of them were led out of the room by the attendants.

After entering the auction house, the attendant led them to the front row and gave them both a numbered plate.

"Sir, when you come across a favorite auction item, you can hold up a sign and auction what you want. At the same time, quote the price you are willing to pay, and each time you raise the card, the price increase shall not be less than 100 gold coins. Finally, I wish you the purchase of your beloved things. ”

The attendant politely explained the process of the auction and then withdrew.

Cizer looked around and didn't notice the figure that looked like Auston before.

Perhaps, he's in the box above.

Cizer thought.

At the top of the auction hall is a row of separate boxes. In front of the box is a large single-sided glass, which allows the guests inside to enjoy the auction below from the most intuitive angle.

If you are not a big man with both identity and financial resources, you are not qualified to climb it.

Cizer couldn't help but worry a little about him when he thought of Auston leaving without saying hello, and then thinking about his background.

Auston isn't in some trouble, is he?

However, Cizer did not rush forward, such an act was obviously unwise, and what he should do now was to wait and see what happened, and wait until the auction was over to make plans.

Soon, the seats at the auction gradually had owners. As the lights go out, the auction begins!

Standing on the high platform at the front was a well-dressed auctioneer, who looked no more than thirty years old, but his face was indescribably calm.

"Everyone, welcome to this Norton auction, where you will see rare treasures on a daily basis, one of our most glorious auctions, and even sold a non-hereditary title! I believe that everyone will see their favorite auction items at this auction. ”

The auctioneer first greeted for a while, did not forget to promote his auction house, and then at the urging of the VIPs in the first few rows, this auction began.

"Next, let's start the auction of the first auction item, a treasure from the southern seas, the Xuanshui Pearl!"

With the auctioneer's words, a delicate-looking cheongsam woman walked up with a plate covered with a red silk cloth, and when the red cloth was removed, everyone was aware of the azure blue.

At this time, the auctioneer's voice sounded again.

"The Xuanshui pearl comes from the edge of a seafloor fissure in the South China Sea. In the South China Sea, there is a profession called pearl diving, and this profession can only be done by girls under the age of 16. Armed with a knife, they infiltrate crevices that adult men can't enter, and collecting a fine pearl can cover their living expenses for a year. The auctioneer's voice echoed over the auction room, and the image of a girl working hard to make money from pearl diving appeared in Cizer's mind.

"And this pearl is one of the treasures, both in terms of luster and the magic of the water system, if you give it to any lady, I think they will fall in love with you. When the auctioneer said this, he raised his eyebrows lightly, looking like everyone understood.

"Xuanshui Pearl, starting price, five hundred gold coins!"

Of course, Cizer is not interested in this, not to mention that he is not going to send something to Susan, and even if he does, he can't send a water thing!

It's something that only the kind of lady who doesn't have to go out of the door will like it, and Susan prefers alchemy.

However, just because Cizer doesn't like it doesn't mean that others don't like it, and after a few offers, the price of this thing has exceeded a thousand gold coins.

"Congratulations, gentleman, on your auction of this rare pearl for one thousand three. The auctioneer's gavel fell, making a striking sound.

After that, the auction house continued, but Cizer and Diablo just came to see the excitement, not really wanting to buy anything, and they all sat quietly in their seats, watching others fight to the death.

"Well, the next collection is mysterious, our own collection of the auction house. It's just that no one knows what it is, only that it has something to do with the elves. The auctioneer pretended to be mysterious on the stage, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of the audience below.

At the mention of the elves, Cezel's interest immediately rose, and he stared carefully at the stage without even blinking his eyes.

"Okay, let's not sell it. Please have our next collection, the mysterious parchment roll!"
