Chapter 026: Auction
Seleface City, south.
There is a large white minaret here, as well as some church buildings. They are surrounded by a large black mountain with many small openings on its surface. The walls of the mountain are solidified with many hard spells. There are several mage towers nearby that are responsible for protecting it.
In front of the mountain was an empty square, with gray and white stone slabs covering the entire ground. Every dozen meters stands a magical gray and white sculpture, clenched with sharp spears like armed melee mages.
"Squeak ......"
There was a grinding of teeth on the ground, and a dozen black carriages stopped in the square.
"Haha, I didn't expect you old guy to come, how about it? Whether I'm here to buy or sell something, you can tell me, maybe I might be able to buy your materials. β
"Phew, you cannibalistic guy who doesn't spit out bones."
"There are a lot of people here today, you three follow me and don't run around."
Dozens of mages in black and white robes got out of the carriage, looked around, and found a group of familiar mages and enemies standing in the square, and there were also several faceless guys standing in the crowd, some old mages who often came were smiling highly, and there was a sense of superiority in their hearts, they thought that they were much better than them.
There was an unobtrusive carriage in the corner, and at this moment, a man and a woman walked down.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with fair skin, jet-black eyes, and long flaxen hair. He glanced at the plaza and grabbed the two silver-haired female mages in the back and walked straight to the front, staring with contempt all around.
Most of the mages here are late first order or top first order. Occasionally, a few second-order mages stood in the distance, smiling and talking to each other with the newly arrived mages.
"This is the trading city. Grant, you see that huge mountain up ahead. β
"yes. The architecture here doesn't look like the city of Selephais, have you seen it? β
Tiffel and Taylor asked curiously. The blue eyes looked in all directions suspiciously. They had never seen anything before them. However, Grant saw a lot, and said calmly: "Let's go in together, let's go inside first." β
"Okay."
The two nodded helplessly.
After entering a cave in the giant mountain, there is a long gray corridor in front of you. Some white lighting crystals are hung on both sides, and the light is so full that the whole corridor is like daylight, and there is no trace of darkness and gloom at all. Grant and the two silver-haired female mages walked to the front, and as time went on, they didn't know how long they had been traveling.
Until you turn a corner. When there was a bright yellow light in front of me, I realized that it was a small open door shining in.
Walking through the small door, a noisy voice suddenly came.
The empty hall suddenly appeared in the sight of Taylor, Grant and Tenfil, and in front of them was a large theater-like venue. The round-vaulted golden ceiling glows bright yellow and has a circle of arc dividing lines.
The floor is covered with a red carpet with white circles. Rows of mahogany high-backed chairs are neatly arranged in a fan-shaped shape. There were a few mages sitting sparsely above, and some were walking inside. Pick your seat.
At the front of the venue was a semi-circular black platform, draped with some red curtains, and many people in pale yellow clothes walked by, as if they were still preparing.
A group of mages glanced at Grant and the others, who had just arrived. Indifferently turned their heads and ignored them, they understood that these young little mages were probably just here to see.
Grant stood aside and explained to Taylor, "You guys. Seats in this venue are divided according to status. The first block occupies the front row, representing the four major forces plus the Shadow Academy. The second block is for some small and medium-sized family forces in the center of the back. Represents the largest group of mage families in the entire city of Celephait. The place where we sit is the last piece, where it is not easy to attract attention. β
"Oh. I realized that I was sitting in the back. β
Taylor pursed his lips, not quite liking that. Tiffel understood and took Taylor's soft little hand and prepared to step forward.
"I'll go and hand them over the fork for auction first, and you and Taylor will just sit here first, and then you can wait for me for a while. Let's see how much we can sell together, and I think you're interested too. β
"Come back quickly, Taylor and I will go up first."
"That's nature."
Grant smiled and deliberately pressed his hood, waved his hand at Tefeel, and pulled up his black robe and walked towards the side entrance of the venue. It was pulled by a heavy black curtain, which looked a little mysterious. On the left and right stood two knights, dressed in dark red armor, the tip of which emitted a strong wave of energy, apparently demonic items.
The handsome neutral face has a hint of rigor.
"Hehe, the Glory Knight Guard of the Trading City. It's not strange to put such an NPC in the game, but in reality, the foundation of this mage alliance is really enough. For example, there are still many first-order mages that do not have demonized items, and the two knights actually have a full set of demonized items, and this kind of background is only available to big forces. β
Grant couldn't help but sigh, he could naturally perceive that all the parts of the two glorious knights, wrists, boots, armor, earrings, spears, and cross-swords at their waists were all specially made demonized items. And there must be some life-saving things, and the combination of these equipment allows them to resist mages below the second order, and can deal with the large area here.
"I have something to auction!"
When Grant stood in front of him, his expression was indifferent, and he tried to remain as calm as possible.
"Take something like this to the test!"
Two knights in dark red armor took a black orb and threw it to Grant. There was not a trace of expression on his face, as if he was doing something that he didn't care about.
Grant took the smooth orb, stroked the surface twice, and put it into the reserve, and after a few seconds, he took the black orb out, and there were six thin red lines on the surface. Filled with faint fluctuations.
"Pass!"
"Please come in!"
The knight in dark red armor took one look, took the orb, and let Grant go. Before leaving, he was given a black mask.
Grant smiled twice, lifted the curtain, and a dazzling light appeared in front of him, and when he got used to it, there was a long red corridor, with red wooden doors on the east and west sides of the corridor, and the faΓ§ade was attached to Room One to Room One leading to the end.
On the left side of the corridor were close a series of maids in long tunic skirts, with beautiful faces and fair skin. At this time, when a maid walked up to Grant, she bent down and smiled, "Please come with me to room ninety-two, and we will arrange for you to test the value of the item there." β
"Okay." Grant followed behind the maid.
The masked Grant walked for a moment to a room marked Nineteen-Two.
"Squeak!"
Open the wooden door and inside is a luxuriously decorated office. The sofa and a crystal table were exquisite.
An old man in a gray robe, with white hair, an old face but an unusually friendly smile, stretched out his withered old hand: "Come on, young mage, what are you going to auction this time?" β
Grant stepped inside, sat down on the soft sofa, and pretended to be excited, "I got two water-based steel forks in the ruins, and I want to auction them off." Grant's excited expression was so vivid that it was hard to tell if it was real or fake. At least Grant thinks he has a lot of talent for acting.
He once played a famous animated gray wolf in the Federal District of Happiness, and others said that he acted so well that when he saw that face, it was like an urge to beat up.
The old man was still smiling and said with a smile: "Hehe, the young man is lucky. Let me see that thing. "The old man heard that a few days ago in a canyon near the city of Selephas, there was a ruin, which contained a spell inscription and even a large amount of materials.
There were several of them who came to sell the materials just now.
"Wait, I'll auction off the materials for the two demonized items first."
"Okay."
The old man laughed awkwardly and hurriedly responded.
Grant takes out Sigrus's demonic metal embryo, followed by Tefil's metal embryo. After putting them on the crystal table one by one, the old man also browsed them one by one and agreed to the auction, and at the same time responded: "Let's take out two more pieces." β
"Whoa!!"
Two pitch-black metal three-pointed steel forks fell from mid-air, exuding a faint aura of water elementals, and fell to the table with a clatter.
"Huh?" The old man was shocked, and after taking a closer look at the steel fork, he commented: "This is the steel fork of the Naga clan, and the quality is at least the weapons owned by the six-armed Naga, I didn't expect you to be lucky enough to encounter these weapons." It's broken now, but because it's a weapon lost by the Naga, you can sell it for a good price. I'll start by ranking them in a valuable order. You take the black sign first, and when the auction is over, I will be responsible for giving you the magic stone, but I will take 5% of the cost of the magic stone. β
"Naturally, then I'll go first."
Grant took a square, spired metal plaque with the number ninety-two written on it. Chilling in his hand, Grant took a look at it and put it in the reserve space, walking towards another door that could also approach the hall and not easily attract the attention of others.
Dozens of minutes later.
There were quite a few people sitting in the back row of chairs, and Terfil and Taylor were also sitting in the same corner, when they saw Grant walking by, they couldn't help but smile: "Done?" Grant, look at how much you've been. β
"That's it, let's sit here and rest, the meeting is about to start, let's wait quietly."
"Okay."
Grant and the two of them sat in the corner, looking down at the black platform in front of them, with a hint of calmness in their eyes.
He knew that he could harvest nearly a thousand Demon Pattern Stones this time, and it would take some time. It was just with the help of these magic stones that he rushed to the seventeenth level in one go, and he should be able to take on the task of the pharmacist at that time. (To be continued.) )
