In the evening of the next day, Kerrinion arrived as promised and invited Vincent and Evensey to the auction house for the evening's auction.

Along the way, Kerrinion constantly respends time with Vincent about the noble district of the Blessed City.

At the top of the Divine Empire, there is no doubt that Queen Alyssa Jenner, since she ascended the throne and became the queen of the empire, after disposing of a large number of evil nobles with iron and blood, and then directly promoted from the senior generals of the imperial army, awarded knighthoods to make up for the vacancy caused by the slaughter of the old nobles.

Therefore, this group of emerging nobles is not only the most loyal to Queen Jenna, but also the reason and example for the imperial army to dare to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths.

Second only to Queen Jenna are the five nobles with real power, and Kaithy of Kaixi Auction House is one of the three marquis families.

As he spoke, a group of three came to the door of the Cashie Auction House, and Vincent saw people walking in groups from time to time, and after handing the invitation to the auction house manager who was in charge of reception at the gate, he entered the auction house to participate in tonight's auction.

Kerrinion whispered a word of apology to Vincent, handed the invitation to the steward, and then introduced Vincent and the others: "These two are my entourage. ”

"Hello, Lord Kerrigion, I hope you have a good night. The steward carefully examined the invitation, then glanced at Vincent and Evensy, who were also wearing masks and gray cloaks, and finally made an invitation gesture to reach out.

Kerrinion thanked him and led Vincennes into the auction house.

Vincent looked around the auction house, the interior was spacious, dark blue fabric sofas and coffee tables were scattered in the auction house, which was more like a kind of salon than an auction.

After Vincent sat down, he asked Kerinion, "Are those rooms on the second floor some VIP rooms?"

"Yes, those four VIP rooms belong to the two dukes and the two marquises. ”

"Got it. After Vincent finished speaking, he immediately transmitted a voice to Evan Xi and said, "You are ready to do it." ”

It was inconvenient for Evens to speak, so he looked directly at Vincent with a look of determination on his face.

As the number of people in the auction house grew and became noisy as time went on, the head of the Cashie family, who was in charge of the auction, finally stepped up to the auction table and saluted all the guests in the auction house very respectfully, before raising his hands and making a gesture similar to asking you to be quiet.

"It is a pleasure to meet you on such a wonderful evening with all of you, and I, Stilwell Cathy, am deeply honoured to be the auctioneer tonight. Stilwell Cathy, who was wearing a white shirt, a green bow tie, and a plain black tuxedo, took off the black bowler hat he was wearing, and said gracefully.

Vincent was curious about how this Stilwell Cashie could wear the very old Western-style clothes of the original world, so he asked Kerry Nien, "Carey, how can the person named the Casey family dress differently from you." ”

Kerrinion was wearing a somewhat tight-fitting black light leather armor today, so as soon as he sat down, he involuntarily began to sort out the parts that had been compressed.

Vincent's question made Kerrinion, who had been buried in tidying up, subconsciously raised his head, glanced at Stilwell Casey, and said: "That is the most precious material in the empire, the workmanship is time-consuming, and there are no more than three sets of men's and women's dresses sewn every year, and most of them are bought by those families. ”

As he spoke, Kerrinion spoke to Nunu on the second floor.

Vincent nodded knowingly, resisting the urge to continue, as the auction had begun under Stilwell's auspices.

Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, the process of the auction is not much different, and there is nothing noteworthy about the auction that has just begun, even if Vincent is not coming for the flight core.

However, the small fights in the early stage are also a warm-up for the subsequent lots, Vincent glanced at them twice, they are all strange but useless gadgets, maybe they can be used to coax children to have a good effect.

A whole set of prophecy cards like what card owner can always touch the cards he wants, flint muskets left behind by prehistoric dwarves, and so on, and the rest are so-called works of art.

For example, the painting of a deceased aristocratic painter, the armor worn by a knight who defended his lover until he died in battle, and the exquisite stone slab engraved with the quotations of the Six True Gods, although Stilwell said it was a foolish thing, and he did not boast that there was only such a rare treasure in all Tria, but Vincent didn't need to look at it to know that it was something of little value.

Even if Vincent doesn't know much about works like famous paintings, he knows that such "posthumous works" are generally artificially hyped, resulting in inflated prices.

The stone tablet engraved with the quotations of the true god sounded very lofty, and the carving was exquisite, and it was related to the true god that the human beings of Tria believed in, which naturally made the nobles present eager to try and bid against each other, but Vincent understood that the stone tablet without the slightest fluctuation of magic power like this showed that the person who carved it was not a true god believer, or rather not a devout believer.

As for the armor, the workmanship is delicate and attractive, and the various cut-out patterns are like the finishing touch, making this silver metal armor dazzling under the magic lamp of the auction house. As an ornament that can be placed at home, it is naturally very suitable, but the so-called armor of the knight who died in battle cannot be fake.

But it was such an ornament, and in the end, it was bought by a noble girl with tears in her eyes at a high price of 30,000 gold coins, saying that it was to be given to her lover who was about to join the imperial army, Vincent couldn't help but shake his head, and could only silently wish the quasi-soldier with such a lover to survive.

Vincent, who had long been idle enough to chat with Kerinion about the current state of the empire, was suddenly attracted by the lot introduced by Stilwell on the stage, and he looked up at the table where the lot was displayed beside Stilwell, and was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that Stilwell was introducing a pair of purple-gold metal bracelets and matching maps, according to him, the seemingly inconspicuous metal bracelets were actually related to the legendary dragons, and the ancient map was where people wearing bracelets could find a roadmap to the dragon's final secret place - the dragon's homing.

It's a pity that the level of the bracelet's demand is extremely high, according to the test of the Kaishi family, it is not higher than the eighth order, and it is impossible to activate its positioning function, not to mention that even if the activation conditions are reached, it may not be possible to find the route to the secret realm in the world today according to such an ancient map.

But Vincent doesn't care, a giant dragon means a lot of treasure, and a group of dragons means countless treasures, as for the problem of insufficient rank, Avensie can easily solve it, maybe by slaying the dragon, Vincent, who has been staying at level 80 and cannot be upgraded, can return to the top level of level 100.

"The auction is now open, with a reserve price of 3,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 10% of the reserve price. ”

As soon as Stilwell's words fell, the auction house, which had been quiet before, suddenly became noisy, and the nobles on the first floor bid one after another, whether it was in high demand or not, it was really impractical, and it was always okay to buy it back and use it as a theme for the salon.

Soon, driven by various reasons, the price of the two things continued to rise, and it didn't take long for them to rise to a high price of 15,000 gold coins.

For such a hot scene now, Vincent can only say that he has no choice but to quit, anyway, it's a big deal to take it away together with the power core, since everything has been done, it is not too many of these two things.

Eventually, the bracelet and map were auctioned off by an earl for 50,000 gold coins and placed neatly on the coffee table in front of him.

After that, Vincent never saw a lot that caught his eye and was in demand, until the penultimate lot was brought to the stand.

Countless prismatic facets transform a whole piece of transparent crystal ore into a huge, neatly sliced prismatic crystal, which is like a dream under the light, not like a divine object that can exist in the mortal world.

Stilwell casually drew his saber from the waist of the guard next to him, walked to the right side of the crystal ore, and then raised the saber with both hands, swung it downward, and slashed straight at the crystal ore.

Everyone in the audience was attracted by his powerful blow, and waited for the result with trepidation.

To the surprise of everyone present, the saber that had been expected to be bounced off or broken slashed into the crystal mine like a sharp knife that eagerly sliced butter.

What was even more unexpected was the next scene, as the sword was slowly pulled out of the crystal mine, everyone noticed that the original long sword in Stilwell's hand, the part that had been submerged in the crystal mine, disappeared completely, leaving no trace.

"This crystal mine that is so beautiful and mysterious is that it fell into the Kaish family's fiefdom from the sky during the sudden explosion in the war zone between the elves and the demons some time ago. Stilwell wielded the Broken Sword with passion.

"Although the professionals in our family have been working day and night to determine what kind of material the crystal ore in front of us is made of, after many tests, at least three things can be determined. ”

"First of all, any metal object can easily enter it, at the cost of being corroded or digested by crystal ore, even enchanted metal that claims to never break. ”

"Second, after testing at home, we have come to the conclusion that at least most non-metallic items cannot directly penetrate the surface of the crystal ore like metal. With that, Stilwell placed the palm of his left hand on the surface of the crystal mine as a demonstration.

"Thirdly, the crystal mine is emitting some kind of energy to the surroundings all the time, and finally it will recover the lost energy for some unknown reason. ”

Finally, Stilwell concluded: "So tonight, the Cathy family is not so much an auction as it is hoping to study and solve the mystery with everyone." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an option for a new task popped up in front of Vincent's eyes.
