Chapter Ninety-Six: A Sideways Kick
"It's a little embarrassing." Luo Yun's heart was full of entanglements at the moment, the first time he saw the high-level demon core at his fingertips, and he saw that he could improve the level of the town guard mansion, the two happy things overlapped and would bring more happiness, what he got should have been a happy time like a dream, but, why, did it become like this.
Although the eighth-level magic core is also among the high-level magic cores, the price is nearly twice as high as the seventh-level magic core, for those alchemists, the magic power contained in the high-level magic core as the magic guide energy core is naturally the stronger the better, but for Luo Yun, who only wants to use the high-level magic core to upgrade the town guard mansion, an eighth-level magic core is really a bit of a waste.
"Miss Edith, do you remember the last time this auction house sold for a rank 8 magic core?"
Looking at Luo Yun's somewhat cramped face, Edith showed a funny look, and said after a moment of silence: "I remember that the last time the eighth-level demon core appeared was more than two months ago, it seems that an eighth-level mountain deer demon core commissioned by a mercenary group to auction was finally auctioned by a mysterious seller for three hundred and ninety thousand gold coins. ”
"Three hundred and ninety thousand gold coins...... Luo Yun's face darkened, the second batch of magic cores he bought from Edith before was worth about eighty thousand gold coins, and that batch of magic cores provided him with nearly 10,000 points of mysterious energy, roughly converted, the gold coins that purchased this eighth-level magic core could almost be exchanged for nearly 50,000 points of mysterious energy.
"It's going to take my life."
And Luo Yun didn't forget, in the No. 34 box not far from the No. 36 box, there was the wizard Tallin of the Beuys family, with this wealthy-stirring stick present, could 390,000 gold coins really win this magic core?
In the auction hall, since Baffin announced the start of bidding, the atmosphere was instantly high.
In recent years, due to the vigorous acquisition of the Duchy and the vigorous demand of alchemists, high-level magic cores have truly become a valuable commodity, such as the Kallan family, it is good to have a hunting team, at least to be self-sufficient, and even occasionally have some surplus magic cores that can be used to win over others.
Because of this, in recent years, more and more high-level alchemists and even master-level alchemists have chosen to cooperate with the family gatekeepers, and some have even become the worship of those great nobles, while those alchemists who are unwilling to lose their freedom are having a hard time.
Lacking high-level magic cores, they can refine fewer and fewer magic guides, and the improvement of professional levels is becoming slower and slower, so they can only try their luck in underground auction halls around the country, where the prices of the occasional high-level magic cores are also getting higher and higher under their competitive bidding.
As the chief auctioneer of the White Oak Chamber of Commerce, Baffin naturally knew this, and under his extremely incendiary publicity, the price of this Flame Lizard Demon Core soared all the way and soon skyrocketed to 300,000 gold coins.
At this price, most of the bidders have quietly given up, although their net worth is far more than this amount, but it is useless to have more fixed assets in this auction, the auction house only accepts cash, and among these people, there are probably not many people who can take out 300,000 gold coins in cash to buy a magic core.
At this moment, the only things that are still bidding in the auction hall are Box 17 and Box 34 of the Naboyce family on the first floor of the hall, and of course it is not excluded that there are people like Luo Yun who have not moved from beginning to end.
"No. 34, 38,000 gold coins."
"No. 17, three hundred and one thousand."
"No. 34, 312,000 gold coins"
……
Looking at the price that was constantly rising under the competition between the two, Luo Yun frowned.
"Are you hesitating whether or not to accept the favor of the Kallan family?"
"Hey, that's right, the price of this eighth-level magic core is at least 200,000 gold coins higher than that of the seventh-level magic core, we don't have much money on hand now, and saving this money can provide us with at least more than 20,000 points of mysterious energy."
"You've worked with this chick Edith a lot so far, how do you feel?"
Luo Yun turned her head to look at Edith, due to the special occasion she attended tonight, she also deliberately changed into a low-key gray dress, but the face that had been washed away was still a little too beautiful.
Seeing Luo Yun looking over, Edith glanced at him in some surprise, and then a strange smile appeared on his face, as if he knew what he was struggling with now.
"Although you are a pure interest relationship, I have to say that this chick is still very interesting, without her help, even if you have the money to buy such a large number of low-level demon cores, it is not a small trouble, and if you want to fight against the Sade family in the future, you also need the support of this comrade-in-arms of the Kallan family, take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't accept her high-level demon core this time, this chick will really have something to ask you for in the future, can you refuse with your disgusting character?"
"To be clear, my personality is disgusting." Luo Yun's face darkened, but what Lianyue said was not unreasonable, if Edith really had an urgent matter to ask for help, could he refuse?
After a moment of silence, Luo Yun touched his nose a little embarrassed, as if it was not good, after all, Edith had indeed helped himself too much.
"Heh, you don't admit that you're disgusting. But since you already owe that chick a favor, it doesn't matter if you owe some more, this high-level demon core sent to the door is naturally not in vain. ”
Luo Yun nodded lightly: "That's what I said, then if you save this money, you can develop some equipment, and now they still use those rags, it's really unreasonable." ”
"Wait, did you misunderstand something?"
"Huh?"
"What does it have to do with your acceptance of Edith's core and your bid for this one?"
"Uh, isn't it true that you only need a high-level magic core to upgrade the town guard mansion?"
Speaking of which, Luo Yun also checked the upgrade conditions of the third-level town guard mansion, 6,000 mysterious energy, 60,000 points of various resources and 1 high-level magic core, that's right.
"Don't tell me, do you think that the third-level town guard mansion will come to an end, and then the third level will be upgraded to the fourth level, and the fourth level will be upgraded to the fifth level, but they all need to consume a large number of high-level demon cores, if you don't collect them in advance, are you going to continue to ask for the chick of Edith when the time comes, and we will be embarrassed?"
“……”
Not to mention Luo Yun, who was galloping past with millions of grass and mud horses in his heart at this time, in the auction hall, the competition for the eighth-level demon core had already entered a white heat.
……
"No. 34, three hundred and ninety-five thousand gold coins!"
"Box 17, 400,000 gold coins."
There was a gasping sound in the hall, 400,000 gold coins, this is already beyond the transaction price of the eighth-level magic core last time, and looking at the appearance of these two people, it seems that none of them has the intention of stopping, in this way, how far can the price of this magic core rush? 450,000, or higher?
At this time, in box 34, Tallinn Boyce's face was already slightly gloomy.
Today, he was entrusted by his brother Owen Beuys to participate in this auction, and his intention was not to bring this high-level magic core, but as Edith said, the Beuys family has insufficient background, before Tallinn has always wanted to refine an excellent magic guide that can be used, but he was constrained by the high-level magic core, and has not been able to do so, but now in this auction, he accidentally found a suitable eighth-level magic core, and it happens to be a fire system that is in line with his attributes, how can this not make Tallinn happy.
It's just that Tallinn didn't expect that there was a wealthy competitor in the field, he took the finale item and almost drained all the liquidity in the family, and now the 400,000 gold coins used to buy the magic core are still the private money he obtained from selling a magic guide before, if he continues to compete with the No. 17 box, I'm afraid he will have to use that reserve fund, but in case the final bid for the finale item fails for this reason, even if Tallinn has a transcendent position in the Beuys family, It is also bound to be strongly suppressed and liquidated.
In the box, Tallinn's face was slightly cold, this magic core was related to that powerful magic channel, he would never give up, since this was the case, he could only use some extraordinary means.
"No. 34, 401,000 gold coins, and besides, friends in box No. 17, this magic core is something I urgently need, if you are willing to cut love, you can get the friendship of the Beuys family."
Tallinn didn't use the magic voice changer in the auction hall to say this, and a large number of bidders in the auction room were stunned at the same time, and many people recognized that this was Tallinn, the eighth-level magician of the Boyce family.
They have heard of the name of the Beuys family, and their strength has improved rapidly in recent years, but this old man is too thick-skinned, and if you give up this magic core, you can get the friendship of the Beuys family, if you don't give up, you will need a few magic to kill the bidders in box 17?
Tallinn's domineering words and deeds attracted a boo in the auction hall, and even Baffin's round fat face flashed a touch of gloom, he thought that the competition between the two sides could push the price of this magic core to 500,000 gold coins, but Tallinn came so unruly, and the bidders in box 17 would slap the Beuys family in the face if they bid again, and where is this kind of thing that anyone has the guts to do?
Seeing that there was no movement in the No. 17 box for a long time, Baffin sighed secretly, Tallinn's behavior is to take money in the pocket of the White Oak Chamber of Commerce, but the strength of the Beuys family is too strong, and he doesn't want to tear his face with them for this money, but fortunately, the price of this eighth-level magic core can barely be explained for 400,000 gold coins.
"41,000 gold coins, once!"
"Four hundred and one thousand gold coins, twice!"
Glancing around the box, Baffin sighed imperceptibly: "Four hundred and one thousand gold coins, three times, I declare that this precious eighth-level lower flame monitor lizard demon core will become a ......"
"Box 36, four hundred and one thousand."
At this moment, in the box, the smug smile on Tallinn's face suddenly froze. (To be continued.) )
