【36】Razor Ridge's Conspiracy (Auction House)
After leaving the stone house of alchemist Wood, the priest and warlock stayed in the dark alley to look for potion shops, the orc officers went to the city prison to collect boar-man sideburns, and I and the warriors and thieves rushed to the valley of power south of the city, hoping to find the wind snake and the mutant fish in the auction house there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The largest auction house in Orgrimmar City is located in the heart of Power Valley, not far below the watchtower where we had previously landed on a two-legged wyvern, a large pie-shaped stone fortress with a vault inlaid with lattice iron grilles that are completely hollowed out to enhance the light inside.
The entrance of the auction house was crowded with people of all races, and I walked through the crowd with soldiers and thieves to enter the gate of the auction house, and as soon as we entered, we saw seven or eight long queues in the hall, and these people in line were consulting the tellers in front of the sales desk, and many of the tellers at the sales desk were short goblins.
"It looks like half of Azeroth's gold has been taken by the goblins." The thief Dulliff complained, and he was not exaggerating at all, because the goblins were good at business and completely neutral, and they did business on both sides of the tribe and the alliance, so they were involved in most of the economic trade in Azeroth, and there was no shortage of banks and comptoirs in various places. At present, most of the salespeople in the auction house in Orgrimmar City are goblins, and it seems that this auction house is also controlled and operated by goblins.
In order to find the materials as quickly as possible, the warrior and the thief and I decided to bid separately, so the three of us each lined up in a line. There were more than a dozen people in my line, and the person in front of me was in front of the counter and was ushered into the passage on the side of the hall, which seemed to be connected to the auction venue.
After waiting for a while, it was finally my turn to handle the auction business, a small goblin with round glasses on his face and long pointed ears sitting in front of the sales desk, he said to me in a shrill voice: "Orgrimmar Auction House is very happy to serve you, Mr. Troll, may I ask what you would like to auction?" ”
"I'm looking for alchemy materials, the Wind Snake and the Mutant Fish, do you have any of them?"
"Wind snakes and mutant fishes, right? Wait a minute. The goblin opened a thick roster in front of the stage, began to look through it, and asked, "What do you want these two materials for?"
"Uh, it's used to make a potion." I replied.
"Oh, that's the alchemy and pharmaceutical materials," he looked through, then lifted his glasses and said excitedly, "Aha, I found it!" Wind Snake and Mutant Fish - Pharmaceutical, alchemy, cooking materials, the warehouse happens to be in stock, Mr. Troll, have you decided to participate in the auction? ”
"Engage."
"Then please pay a deposit of 1 gold coin first." Goblin said.
After I paid the deposit, the goblin handed me an iron plaque with the number "7" engraved on it, and pointed to the side of the hall and said, "Mr. Troll, please take this iron plaque and enter the auction hall 7 from the passage on the right side of the hall, where you can bid on the two materials, the Wind Snake and the Mutant Fish." ”
"Thank you~" I took the iron plate and walked to the passage on the side of the auction house hall, there were orc guards at the entrance of the passage to check, I used the iron card I received to enter the passage, the passage is a circular corridor, there are two floors, connecting many bidding venues, there are a number of goblins in the guide, I want to go to the No. 7 auction venue on the first floor, I quickly found the "No. 7" bidding venue under the guidance of a goblin staff.
As soon as I entered the auction room, I saw that it was full of people, all sitting on rows of small stone benches, patiently waiting for the auction to start. I found a place in the back row, and shortly after I sat down, the warrior Kaslak and the thief Dulinf also entered the venue, and it seemed that the auction house had gathered all the bidders for special materials, and the three of us said hello with each other and sat down separately.
After a while, a goblin dressed in a human-like dress walked up to the standing table at the front of the room, knocked on the cutting board on the table with a mallet, and called out in a shrill voice: "Distinguished guests, the auction is about to begin, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Gazruvi, and now I will read out to you the rules of our bidding:
1. Each product has a starting price, with a minimum price increase of 10 silver coins each time, and there is no limit to the maximum price increase;
2. If no one responds to the bid after bidding three times, the last bidder will get it;
3. Auction items need to pay a 3% handling fee to the auction house.
Do you know that? ”
"It's clear, let's get started!" "What nonsense!" The man below responded.
"Okay, good~ Now we are going to bid for our first product - master weapon enchantment scroll," the goblin said loudly, and an orc staff member walked to the front of the venue with a scroll on a plate, and the goblin pointed to the scroll in his plate and said: "This enchantment scroll can be used to enchant your weapons at the master level, and the weapon type is not limited, which can make your weapons attach frost effects, cause frost damage to the enemy, delay the enemy's actions, and increase attack power, and increase the probability of critical hits." Even if you don't enchant your own weapons, with this scroll, you can make a lot of money out of it. ”
The surrounding crowd let out a few exclamations, it seems that many people are salivating for this scroll, the auction officially began, the starting price of this master weapon enchanted scroll is 3 gold coins (300 silver coins), the price of the scroll is endless, soon the scroll was called 7 or 8 gold coins, and finally the enchanted scroll was obtained by an orc who looked like a thief for 9 gold coins. None of the three of us participated in this auction because of the limited funds on hand, but I read the look on the look of the thief Duhrinf, he must be very eager for this scroll.
Next, in turn, the auction of forging materials of obsidian, Oria, leather materials of dragon scales, Kodo animal skin, thunder lizard scales, etc., the venue should be the price of people one after another, enthusiastic and abnormal, so that I look lively want to be eager to try to raise the sign in his hand to shout, the warrior Kaslak in the auction of the thunder lizard scales can't help but shout, but unfortunately this scale was finally taken down by a local tyrant Minotaur with a piece of 10 gold and 50 silver.
After bidding for two high-end pharmaceutical scrolls, the staff brought up another worn-out scroll on a plate, and the auctioneer Gazruvi said in a mocking tone: "Distinguished guests, this scroll is a long-lost cooking secret, it is said that the food made from this secret recipe has a strange effect, can change people's appearance, and guests who love cross-dressing should not miss it~"
His words made everyone in the venue extremely curious, and some people shouted, "What kind of cooking scroll is it!" Say it quickly! ”
Auctioneer Gazruvi smiled and said, "This is the legendary recipe for the 'Delicious Wind Snake' that can be transformed after eating!" The starting price is 15 gold, and there are also 10 free crafting materials, 10 wind snakes hunted in the barren land, and 10 mutant fish caught in the Sweet Water Oasis! ”
As soon as I heard the name, Kaslak and Duelff the thief and I immediately stood up from our seats.
