Chapter 395: The Auction Begins, All Wanted, Good Things?
"Hehe, I can see he's disappointed."
After about ten minutes, the dwarf left the box, and the door closed again, and Fanny, who had been silent, suddenly laughed.
"Maybe."
Moriarty just nodded noncommittally and sat back down in the soft sofa chair with his eyes closed.
"You really don't want to come up with something to participate in the auction here? I think it's a good opportunity to earn gold and make a name for yourself in Dark Color. ”
It seems that some are unwilling to "become" pure spectators and buyers, Medusa suddenly took the initiative to persuade her.
"I don't need any fame. And, I don't think you will need it either. Is that right? ”
Moriarty gave Medusa a strange look, and the latter was stunned and fell silent.
After all, as an exile, Fanny needs to be more secretive than the Dark Elves. And at the thought of this, Medusa really blushed at the thought of her stupidity.
About half an hour later, the auction officially began.
At this time, the hall of the merchant hall was already filled with merchants from all over the world and the natives of the city, and the originally spacious venue was crowded.
"Welcome! Welcome to this auction! On behalf of the organizers, I would like to thank all of you for your great experience. ”
The old dwarf man who had come to the box to "persuade" before was standing in the center of the auction stage at this moment, still smiling, and said loudly to the people of all races attending the meeting. However, the audience responded meredivistically to the dwarf's welcome speech. It seems that no one cares whether the organizers are grateful or not.
Seeing this, the underground dwarf also cleverly put away the lengthy lines that had been prepared and went directly to the official auction.
"Because the lots this time are all 'hot and spicy' that have just been gathered on the scene, no one can know in advance, and I hope to give you a surprise." Without any more nonsense, the underground dwarf looked around and said directly: "First of all, the first lot, the 'fine golden gravel' from the 'Kaite Caravan' is fifty kilograms. Professionally identified. The purity of this batch of sand and gravel reached about 30%. In other words, a total of about 60 kilograms of pure gold can be extracted, which is a high-grade raw ore sand. Now the bidding price is started at a unit of 10 kilograms, with a reserve price of 5,000 gold lang per unit. Please shout! ”
And when the dwarven auctioneer's voice fell. A sample of the fine golden sand gravel was sent to the stage at the same time. Under the illumination of the concentrated lights. The sparkling sand glows with a dull sheen of gold, and the delicate particles are as fine as wind dust, as if they can be blown away with a breath.
"Five thousand golden langs. I want three units. ”
"Five thousand one hundred golden langs, ten units."
"Five thousand five hundred golden langs, twenty units."
Seeing that the goods were really outstanding, immediately, the interested buyers in the audience began to offer. Of course, the shouting price is high and low, and the purchase volume is also large and small. According to the rules of the auction, it is to follow the three criteria of "high price", "large quantity" and "early quotation" as the priority order.
In about five minutes, 200 kilograms of fine golden sand gravel were sold out, with a total price of 29,000 gold langs, which was the first shot for this auction.
"Haha, I'm glad that all the guests are so involved. And I have just been informed that in order to thank you for your hospitality, the organizers of this association have temporarily decided to waive the handling fee for this first lot, which can be regarded as a concession to all distinguished guests! ”
Seeing that the first lot was lightly digested, and the dwarves in the underground were also overjoyed, they immediately announced it in public.
According to the rules, the organizers of the auction would have charged an additional fee of one point to each transaction amount. Now the auctioneer directly declares the reduction, which is equivalent to a small discount, which is satisfactory to both buyers and sellers.
"Okay, then, our second lot is three pieces each of 'Scented Agate' and 'Magnetic Jadeite' rough. The reserve price of the auction is 1,000 gold lang for each piece of 'Aromatic Agate' rough stone, and 1,200 gold lang for each piece of 'Magnetic Jade' rough stone. Bid now. ”
"Oh, it's 'Scented Agate' and 'Magnetic Emerald'?" After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Medusa in the box suddenly kept moving.
"You know what that is?"
Although he was familiar with various magical texts and anecdotal books, Moriarty was no match for the natives of Nigon, at least he didn't know what the scented agate and magnetic jade were, and it would attract Fanny's curious attention, so he asked.
"Hehe, there are times when an enchanter like you doesn't know?" Seeing that the dark elf asked herself, Medusa first smiled arrogantly before saying, "But it's no wonder that fragrance agate and magnetic jade are both things that women love, so you naturally don't care." The fragrance agate is a rare jewelry raw ore, mostly bright yellow, and the stone body is moist, not lukewarm, and it can moisturize the body and skin when worn on the body. And in addition to the beautiful appearance, the fragrance agate will also have a natural noble fragrance, and the aroma of each rough stone is different, and there is no duplicate. As for magnetic jadeite, it is another precious gemstone, which is one of the best materials for making zuò jewelry, and is very popular with noblewomen. ”
And while Fanny was detailing the two lots for Moriarty, someone outside the box was already making offers.
"I want a piece of 'scented agate' for 1,100 gold langs."
"One piece each of 'Fragrance Agate' and 'Magnetic Jade', a total of two thousand five hundred gold langs."
"Two pieces of 'magnetic jade', I bid 3,000 gold langs."
It seems that the underground world is not just a wilderness, but also has a huge luxury consumer market. There is no doubt that all bidders are going to buy the rough stones, process them into beautiful and ornate jewelry accessories, and then sell them to the superiors of the various dungeons.
"I want all three pieces of 'fragrance agate', six thousand gold langs."
Just as the dwarven auctioneer was nervously recording the various offers in the audience, suddenly, a voice came from the box, and it was actually three pieces of perfumed agate wrapped in one go. And its bid is also quite violent, directly making a 100% premium on the reserve price, which seems to be trying to repel all other bidders in one fell swoop.
And this buyer, naturally, is Moriarty.
"Three pieces of 'scented agate', six thousand golden langs! Who else is following? Who else wants a quote? ”
For the time being, there was no time to pay attention to the business of magnetic jadeite, and the underground dwarves immediately "provoked" the other buyers around them. However, all he responded to was a moment of silence.
First, the direct doubling of the price has exceeded the position on most of the jewelry, even if it really follows the trend of bidding, it is also a great cost pressure; Second, this imposing offer came from the box, where the big names were located, so no one wanted to compete for anything with such a storage zài unless there was a certain need.
"Good! Three pieces of 'scented agate', 6,000 gold langs! Deal! ”
After teasing for a while, seeing that no one had an erection after all, the auctioneer had no choice but to "vent" himself and loudly announce that Moriarty's bid was successful.
"What do you buy so many scented agate rough for? Do you also want to make a cameo appearance as a jeweler? ”
After the servant had carefully sent the three rough stones into the box, and the dark elf had finished paying for the goods with gold nuggets, Medusa asked with a strange expression.
"It's not expensive anyway, so I bought it if I liked it."
Naturally, Moriarty would not say that these scented agate rough stones were used as souvenirs of the "Nigon Tour" to bring back to the ground in the future to give to his lover. As for the guest jewelry craftsman, the human mage has only completed a set of "Gentle Care of the Bull Demon King", and if conditions allow, he may really make a few new magic jewelry sets using the dissected scented agate.
"Not expensive? That's 6,000 gold! ”
Even if he was once the lord of a city, Fanny was a family member and knew that firewood and rice were expensive, so when she saw the dark elves' such a ruined and willful behavior, she couldn't help but shout.
"Is it really expensive? Oh, it's a little more expensive than buying your 1,000 gold langs, so don't worry. Looking at Medusa's teeth and claws, Moriarty suddenly felt a burst of amusement, and couldn't help but tease.
"You! Hum! ”
Hearing such a metaphor, Fanny was naturally very upset, so she was angry and ignored the other party.
Next, the auction continues.
After the fine golden sand gravel, fragrant agate, magnetic jadeite, there are also various products such as extremely flavored umbrella mushrooms, bulk steel weapons, and excellent moss wine are put on the stage, which are also very popular and sought after by buyers from all over the world.
As the auction progressed, enchanted items such as "+1 attribute", rare alchemy potions, and even spell books with complete magic records were also presented as lots.
Subsequently, the indigenous strength of the city and those large caravans began to exert their strength, chasing these precious items that could truly represent strength and strength.
However, Moriarty never said anything about this, so that Fanny, who was sulking at the end, couldn't help but speak coldly and asked the dark elves why they didn't snatch these good things.
But are these really good things?
At least not in the eyes of Moriarty.
Whether it's alchemical potions or magic items, the ones on display on the auction stage are just mid-to-middle grades in the eyes of alchemists. Even if it's given away for free, it may feel like taking up space and getting in the way.
As for the spell book, at first Moriarty was also very interested, wanting to take this opportunity to see the magical civilization of the underground world. It was only after listening to the introduction of the dwarven auctioneer that I realized that the records in those two spells were just the most ordinary first-level elemental magic, and Moriarty had already learned it, so naturally there was no reference value.
Therefore, for Medusa's questioning, Moriarty just laughed it off and did not give any explanation.
Finally, the auction came to its final climax.
There are also three finale items that are about to be put on the stage, and in this regard, whether they have achieved a lot of success before, or they have never achieved anything, they are once again in good spirits and sit upright.
Perhaps, the auction war is just about to begin. (To be continued......)
