Chapter 238: Mysterious Ancient Sword
That dark pocket watch, Fang Shi is really just a little interested, not ambitious. Because for Fang Shi, these things are secondary, and what I care about more is still something related to Warcraft.
It's not enough for Locke to give full play to the true character of a local tyrant and throw money at it, there is no need for reason at all. Even the nobles who participated in the auction were shocked, and in the end, this dark pocket watch was auctioned off by Locke, with a price of more than 40,000 gold coins. The starting price of the pocket watch was only 8,000 gold coins, which directly increased by more than five times.
Fang Shi glanced at Locke, and he didn't feel it at all, even Jack next to him. Fang Shi sighed secretly, sure enough, the fat man Locke was a real tyrant, and he didn't feel distressed at all if he threw away tens of thousands of gold coins. You must know that more than 40,000 gold coins are enough to buy a store that can be considered a store on the side of Yunlong City.
In the next auction, there were also some things that Fang Shi was interested in, but Fang Shi did not show it, lest Locke Fat Man buy it for him on a whim. Even if Locke is a fat man and a tyrant, Fang Shi doesn't want to take advantage of this, he is already fooling him, and taking advantage of such a situation again, Fang Shi always feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Fang Shi was not interested, Locke didn't think much about it, but he took a fancy to some things at the auction and shot them one after another. Of the twenty auction items that have been auctioned, six of them have fallen into the hands of Locke Fatman, of which the dark pocket watch to be given to Fangshi is the rest of the things that Locke Fat Man himself wants.
Sure enough, it is more in line with the character of the fat man of Locke, Fang Shi counted these auction items, the first piece of Marcy Grassland War Sheep and Lamb Leg. The volcanic eruption of pork spine meat that appeared later. Warcraft chowder recipes. 100-year-old wine......
Well, the dark pocket watch aside, out of the five auction items, only one ancient painting has nothing to do with eating and drinking. Moreover, from the conversation between Locke and Jack when auctioning this ancient painting before, he knew that this ancient painting was still used by Locke to give away, and he was not interested. Other words. The only thing Fat Locke wanted for himself was four things related to eating and drinking.
It is estimated that after the end of this auction, Locke Fat Man will be able to cool up for a while, and enjoy the food in a different way for several days. An aristocratic auction, that is, some nobles are gourmets, and there are too many such culinary-related auctions. Fang Shi was very suspicious, this auction venue specially invited Locke Fat Man to come, and also received it in a targeted manner. It is possible that the ingredients in this auction are for Locke's fat.
Whatever the intentions, though. It doesn't have much to do with Fang Shi, even if it's really a sycophant, it's just a sycophant against Locke, and there is no trouble at all for Fang Shi. In this case, this kind of entertainment and other things, let Locke go by himself, anyway, Locke's fat man should not be disgusted with this kind of thing, because he can eat the food specially prepared by others.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the thirtieth lot, and it was the last lot in the Solaron auction. When this thing was put on the auction table, Fang Shi's pupils shrank obviously, and his eyes were immediately attracted.
This is a sword, it looks like it should be some vintage, rusty, and you can know from the sound when it is placed, and you can know that the material of this sword is quite good. Even so, at this time, it can be seen that the age is very old, and it is likely to be a powerful sword weapon left over from ancient times.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last auction item of today, a mysterious sword weapon handed down from ancient times." Dina pounded the table, attracting everyone's attention, before smiling and saying, "Everyone knows that in ancient times, the War Continent was in the initial stage of development, and the major professions did not have such a detailed distinction as now, and the level of Warcraft was just beginning. But at that time, there was an extremely mature forging civilization that could not be compared even now. ”
Fang Shi didn't understand at all, but when he saw that there was no objection in the auction hall, he looked at the fat man of Locke, and this guy nodded slightly in agreement. Fang Shi knew that there should be such a thing, but it belonged to something like a small secret, and the professionals and nobles might know about it, but the commoners didn't know about it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Fang Shi didn't know about it, and opened his mouth to ask, but immediately Fang Shi felt that it was better not to ask. If this is not a particularly secret matter, wouldn't it be too strange to ask, and it will not be easy to bluff Locke Fat in the future. It's better to wait for the aftermath to inquire clearly.
At this time, Fang Shi's attention still returned to the sword weapon, and the reason why he cared so much was because Fang Shi intuitively felt that there was a special aura on this sword weapon. The most important thing was that he felt that the Warcraft record book in the inventory was a little reacting.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Shi tried to use the Beast God's Eye, originally thinking that the Beast God's Eye would still not get any information, but it turned out to bring Fang Shi a little surprise.
"The ancient sword weapon once sealed a powerful demonic beast, and there is still a demonic beast breath in the sword."
It was very simple information, but Fang Shi was immediately sure that the Beast God's Eye would only react to things related to Warcraft, and there was only such a thing that could see the information. It's just that what Fang Shi didn't expect was that this ancient sword had actually sealed the Warcraft, and that Warcraft could cause the reaction of the Warcraft Record Book?
"In ancient times, forging civilizations were very powerful, and sword forging reached its peak. At that time, there were only swordsmen, no warriors, because people used swords. And this ancient sword is the work left by the strongest swordsmith at the beginning, one of the strongest swords in ancient times. Dina continued to introduce, and after a pause, she said with a little pity: "It's a pity that time is ruthless, and this strongest sword weapon will inevitably fall, and it has lost its powerful power back then." But purely from the point of view of forging means, it is already a powerful sword weapon, according to the forging evaluation at that time, this is a sword of more than twelve grades, that is, the current forging level of the artifact. ”
Fang Shi didn't understand, but later I learned that the grade distinction in ancient times was not as detailed as it is now, but simply according to the grade. The twelfth grade is the highest grade, and the breakthrough is the holy level, and at that time, there was no god level, and it seems that there was only one swordsmith in the end to achieve the god level.
That's right, in the era of ancient times, only the forging civilization that developed maturely, it should be said that it was the sword-forging civilization. The one who broke through the god level was the strongest sword forging master at that time, but the saint level and god level at that time were not the situation now.
Many people think that the holy level and god level at that time are no different from now, but some mages who have worked hard to study this aspect think that the twelve grades of the year are actually the current holy level, and the holy level is comparable to the current god level. As for what the concept of god-level was back then, it is not clear, but this is the meaning of exploration, and perhaps the key to transcending the current god-level boundaries can be found.
To get back to the point, at this time, Fang Shi didn't know anything about the sword-forging civilization or anything like that, and was only very interested in the sword weapon in front of him. Seeing that the fat man Locke was also staring at the sword, it was rare that the fat man was finally interested in things other than eating and drinking.
"Locke, you can buy this ancient sword." Fang Shi thought for a moment, let's let this fat man do it.
This is also something that can't be helped, this ancient sword, the starting price is 300,000 gold coins, and each bid cannot be less than 10,000 gold coins. Looking at this rhythm, he is planning to break a million, Fang Shi's own words, a few hundred gold coins are okay, and a million gold coins are not to be considered. Sure enough, you can only rely on the local tyrant Locke, anyway, this guy has a lot of money.
"Fang Shi, are you also interested in this ancient sword?" Locke was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Fang Shi asked him to bid.
"Sort of, I want to look into it, maybe it will help me a little." Fang Shi thought for a moment and said, this is a half-truth, but in order to be able to touch this sword afterwards, Fang Shi still has to say this.
"So? Well, if you open your mouth, I'll buy it and give it to you. The fat man laughed, and with a clap of his hands, he actually planned to buy it and give it to Fang Shi.
Fang Shi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this guy is also bold enough, forget about the dark pocket watch in front of him, the price of this ancient sword may exceed one million. When they said these words, the price of the ancient sword had been auctioned to 700,000 yuan, which had more than doubled.
Locke is obviously also a little interested in this ancient sword, but it doesn't have to be, depending on the situation, this ancient sword only arouses Locke's interest, not the kind that is bound to be obtained. But as Locke said, it was rare for Fang Shi to take the initiative to speak, and he would help with this.
At this time, Fang Shi realized what a big tyrant was, but all of a sudden, it also made Fang Shi a little embarrassed, and he suddenly felt guilty. You know, Fang Shi is now fooling Locke's fat man, strictly speaking, these fools are not a big deal, but for Locke, it is a big deal.
Well, for the sake of Locke's sincere treatment, Fang Shi decided to wait until the recent matter was resolved, and then be open and honest with Locke's Fatty, and stop fooling this fat man.
Fang Shi thought here, the fat man over there had already started the bidding, and the price outside had not yet exceeded 800,000, and the fat man raised the price to one million at once. It's this kind of routine again, directly jumping high prices to bluff people.
One million doesn't seem to be much different from eight hundred thousand, at least for those wealthy aristocrats, it's really not a big difference. But an ancient sword that has lost its power, the price of 800,000 is already inflated, and one million is even more outrageous. At this time, everyone was also thinking about whether to bid again, in fact, they took a fancy to this ancient sword, firstly, this ancient sword was very strong before, and secondly, it was also an antique, and it was bought only if they wanted to treasure it, and now they saw that the No. 4 VIP room was bidding again, and suddenly mentioned a million gold coins, which was completely inevitable, and they did not compete, so as not to annoy the people in the room.
