Chapter 687: Two Pieces of Letter

When the auctioneer had read it, he handed the letter to Rotica. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the latter's expression of eating flies made a whisper in the venue. Most of them are gloating, but a few are talking about the real meaning behind that sentence - is the cobalt gold mine really ready to break the monopoly in this way?

Literally, it seems to be that. However, there is also an extraordinarily arrogant implication in this statement, because cobalt gold ore will never circulate to the market in Rassiman, just as it is impossible to buy "uranium" in the supermarket in modern society, and the seller wants to ignore the high-pressure rule of parliament and "commit crimes against the wind"?

With such discussions, the auction continued. As the venue fell silent again, everyone began to wonder how amazing the finale item at Nogforg Auction House really was.

However, when the auctioneer put the four charged hedrons on display, everyone's eyes widened, but they couldn't see anything unusual about this thing.

Lasiman has a special calibration unit for the energy of magic crystals called "kulun", within 10 kulun is a low-level magic crystal, 10-50 is a medium-level, 50-100 is a high-level, and more than 100 is too rare, basically a dragon crystal or a powerful magic crystal that can only be possessed by creatures of the same level.

Nogfogg once auctioned a magic crystal marked 120 kuluns, which was also sold for a sky-high price as the finale. But now the calibration of the charged spar... Only 14 coulombs.

"What's the situation? Can the mid-level magic crystal also be auctioned for the finale?"

Similar inquiries were heard endlessly, and the auctioneer did not rush to explain, but went through the set of magic crystal inspection procedures that Houdini had done on the spot. When the four patterns completely coincided, the faces of several heads of the academy changed drastically, and they stood up with their faces full of incredulity!

Evely, who was sitting in the corner, was also trembling, and she completely grew her mouth because of surprise, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"It's... What do you mean?"

Doroth, who was next to him, was not a "Formation Charter" and did not understand what this meant to the wizarding world. And Evely knew very well that if she changed to this kind of spar when casting spells, her strength would definitely increase by three times!

At this moment, even she wanted to try to bid.

Most of the same magic crystals are useful to mages when they are used for various types of research. Except for being used as a puppet energy, the magic crystals used by Rasiman Mage in real combat are basically single.

However, the quality and consistency of the Shard greatly affect the strength of the Array Master, for example, if you use a Charged Crystal, Evely's detection circle range will be at least doubled, and if you cast a protective enchantment, the damage she can absorb will be more than doubled!

But she just wanted to raise her sign to bid, but was interrupted by the surging shouts around her - the four charged crystals with a starting price of 1,000 gold coins directly doubled their value more than twenty times in ten seconds, and the Defoe Academy shouted an astonishing price of 23,000 gold coins!

And then the price didn't stop at all, and went straight to 40,000 gold coins...

Evely suddenly shrank back, there are so many Rasiman bigwigs here, and those so-called "local tyrants" in other countries are not enough to see at all.

"Are they crazy? These magic crystals are worth more than the cobalt gold mine just now?"

Doridis was frightened by the mage's insane looks. She saw that the representatives of two of the houses were spraying directly on the spot, and she almost drew her wand, which she could hardly understand, so she turned to Evely.

And the patriarch quickly gave the answer: "They are all extremely clever mages, and they all want to study the mystery of these four magic crystals. It is now accepted that there is no such thing as a magic crystal in the world, and if this thing is naturally formed, it can be verified and written into a very influential paper, and if it is man-made, it will probably mean a revolution for the entire wizarding world..."

As she said, mages are willing to pay any price in order to get closer to the truth. Don't look at the number of gold coins, in fact, if you can buy "truth" with "gold coins", then this is really the most cost-effective way. Even Councilor Rotica frowned, and raised his card several times at the time of 45,000 gold coins - but the previous auction of the cobalt gold mine had basically used up the liquidity available to his personal authority, so he could only give up after the price exceeded 50,000.

If you want to talk about more money, Barlenna is not nothing, but the auction house does not accept installments or other items in exchange, only gold coins, which makes the auction price extremely limited... So it didn't take long for the upward trend in prices to slow down.

But even so, the price of these four charged crystals reached a staggering 98,000 gold coins.

Nearly 100,000 gold coins in cash, it is estimated that it will take several carts to pull in a horse-drawn cart... Until now, there are only three college representatives left to bid. The other great families wisely opted out - for they all saw the determination of these Magisters to win, and understood that this struggle was far more than a plop on the auction items.

And several bigwigs who gradually fell silent were frowning at this time, thinking about whether they should increase the price at the moment. 100,000 gold coins means almost all of the current liquidity of an academy, and if you are rich, such as Tim Academy and Movent Academy, you can grit your teeth and add points, if it is DeFoe and Katzmore Academy, then you really can't add it by gritting your teeth...

The consequence of directly taking out so many gold coins is that the college's finances are on the verge of collapse, and the risk is too great.

The auctioneer was not in a hurry to drop the hammer, although he was surprised that the price would be so hot, he also knew that he had to give these mages a certain amount of time to think now. But before he could say a few words to ease the atmosphere, the old man who had been sitting in the front row suddenly stood up—and as he turned to face the seats in the room, the voice that was still talking suddenly disappeared.

Although this is not a parliament, the prestige of Speaker Jeremy is evident from this.

He first earnestly asked the auctioneer to suspend the auction, which was granted after the auction supervisor nodded his head. Then Jeremy spoke up: "Bando, Kalsi, Nasijia, if you can, I want you to notify the councillors of your various academies to come here now." These four magic crystals are very important, and I think if they are bought by any of the academies, it will mean a storm that will be difficult to quell. ”

His words were indeed from the perspective of the "Speaker". Although the six colleges seem to be safe, but suddenly one party took out all the working capital to buy four unknown spars before the "Twilight Autumn Crown", not to mention what the research of the spars can do, the funding gap behind this is basically equivalent to making an academy become a "disability" for a period of time.

Rasiman's mages are all "wolf", the backward are beaten, the strong develop, if anyone can't hold back to make a big news, how can the country be stable?

His words also made several representatives who had just been hot-headed at the auction break out in a cold sweat, and seeing that everyone was silent, Jeremy continued: "So I suggest that you bid collectively at the final auction price. Those who are willing to participate in the research of the spar will share the funds equally, and then draw lots to determine the research order. Of course, this is the current proposal, and if the councillors of the various colleges are willing to agree, let's talk about the next steps. ”

Jeremy's method is obviously the safest at present, and the members of the council glanced at each other, and they all understood that the "Twilight Crown" conference was ahead, and no one could stand the toss, so they immediately sent people to call the members of the council to report the information, and these councilors also responded quickly - they flew directly to the auction house, and voted unanimously on the spot, and then bid for the four charged spars with 98,000 gold coins jointly funded by the five colleges...

Well, only the representatives of Blunka Academy did not participate, because the liquidity for them to get 20,000 gold coins was stretched.

Nogforg did not ask whether the buyers were collective or individual, so they happily accepted this purchase method. After all, these people in front of them are also the owners of the auction house, and they are also happy that both sides have found a suitable step. For others at the auction, witnessing one of Rasimman's highest-level parliamentary votes was worth the ticket price – but what surprised them the most was that after the item was sold, the auctioneer also came up to the stage and pulled out a letter.

This move suddenly stunned the parliamentarians who had just signed the agreement, and Rotica swallowed a mouthful of saliva... Speaker Jeremy's eyes widened because they were both aware of a terrible problem: they had just taken out a letter to read after the cobalt gold auction, and now they were playing the same trick... Could it be that the seller is the same person?!

The auctioneer repeated the instructions of the "seller's message" and opened the envelope. But when he took out the letter, he found that nothing was written on it!

"Well, it seems that this seller deliberately left an empty letter paper. ”

The auctioneer reluctantly raised the white letter paper to show the people in the audience, indicating that he was not lying. Jeremy's pupils shrank, and he took two steps forward to look at the letter—but in three seconds, he returned it.

"Well, there's really nothing written on this piece of paper. ”

With Jeremy's confirmation, the other councillors said no more. The auction was now a success, and the four hedrons were sealed in the presence of Speaker Jeremy and members of the five colleges, and the order of study was decided by drawing lots at the meeting tomorrow.

The guests left one after another, most of them talking excitedly about the role of the four hedrons, and a few lamenting the wealth of Rasiman Academies and the way the council behaved. Only Speaker Jeremy stopped Rotica before leaving, took the letter that the other party had just put into his pocket, looked at it, and then returned it.

Rotica didn't know why, and Jeremy sighed as he turned to leave...

Because he had already confirmed that the material of these two letters was not Corey papyrus, but the "blank paper" that he asked his subordinates to investigate.

The real winner of this auction can only be the seller behind it.
