As the news of the "Mystic Mage Kicking the Arena 'Path of Glory'" gradually spread in Durrell City, Houdini had already sold the "cans" that Roddy had shipped from his trip at the docks with great efficiency. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the technical content of this thing is not high, it is estimated that it will not take long for someone to figure out the principle if it is really counterfeited, but at present, in Laciman, this technology that can be preserved for a long time is unique. You know, not all ships have the "Polatini" frozen circle, and now the entire port is nine out of nine ordinary ships, and the fishermen and crew go to sea to eat something similar to what Merin Sera said at the beginning...

Stone-hard biscuits, maggot-infested bread, these people at the bottom of the sea do not even have clean drinking water, because the water in the barrels quickly turns green and smells rancid, so they can only carry the strange-tasting ale all year round.

Ordinary fishing boats go to sea for as little as three days and as many as ten days, while ships sailing on the open sea often only need to be replenished once a month or two, and there are not a few crew members who have no fruits and vegetables to feed on them to die of sepsis.

Houdini knew this better than anyone else, and that was why he chose to set up a stall near the ships that were preparing to fish in the open sea—he could do anything with money on the chaotic docks, and Houdini didn't plan to sell them for a long time, he just magically branded the cans with the words "Made in the Kingdom of Karen" according to Roddy's arrangement, and found a banner with the characteristics and prices of the cans, and then hired a few guys to sell them.

Several sailors in charge of the procurement were attracted by the banners and the shouting, and asked suspiciously for a long time, seeing that these cans were beautifully packaged and inexpensive, whether they could be really preserved, and this price was enough to buy the same weight of fruit and meat, so they quickly made a purchase decision.

Nearly 100 cans were sold out in a matter of hours - Houdini deliberately controlled the quantity and spread as much as possible to all levels of the ship, and then closed the stall and left. Anyway, this thing is not good yet, and everything will not be praised until the return of these fishing boats.

Houdini did not feel tired in the afternoon, so he took a shower, had a brief dinner, took a wooden box, called a carriage, and went straight to the "Barafar Neighborhood" in the center of the city of Durell.

This neighborhood can be said to be a "holy place" that the entire Rasiman mage has to visit once. It is only 400 meters long and sits in front of the "Cologmere" Magic Tower, standing in the middle of the street and looking north, you can directly see the main entrance of the huge "Cologmere" Magic Tower. There are the most comprehensive suppliers of all kinds of magic materials in the country, and the quality is guaranteed to be the best.

Most magic towers will have a relatively complete magic item and supply store outside the tower, just like the magic tower of "Ice Crown" Crohn, there are only three magic shops outside, and the materials sold overlap with each other. However, in the "Balafar Block", you can see "specialty stores" selling scroll materials, puppet materials, magic circle stones, various magic crystals, and so on.

The things here are not related to "cheap", so the mage who is not rich in money can only enjoy it when he comes. There is no upper limit to what is "expensive", because many of them are priceless and unique - and most of the most precious ones are regularly auctioned at the richly decorated "Nogervogg Auction House" in the middle of the street.

Houdini's destination was here, he stepped out of the carriage and walked straight into the auction house with the box in his hand - the guard at the door did not stop him because of the "Magister" insignia on his chest. The waitress Chrissy who greeted her was a beautiful woman in every way, not only with a good figure and good temperament, but also able to call Rasiman's Magisters famous one by one.

"Nogforg Auction House" has a lot of background, so even if she knew that Houdini had a bad reputation recently, she did not speak as viciously as the receiver of the "Deep Blue" journal, but led Houdini into the VIP room on the first floor with a pleasant face as usual.

"Two things, the best ones to auction in the near future. ”

Houdini didn't talk nonsense, and opened the box in his hand - and Chrissy only glanced at it, and said respectfully, "This... Magister Houdini will wait a moment, and I'll go and bring Master Broy over to talk to you in person, and I'll see you move upstairs. ”

The inside of the auction house is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the higher up the fourth floor, the more noble the status becomes, Houdini just lit up the contents of the box, and was invited to the second floor, he knew that this was because among the things he was going to auction was, there was an eight-kilogram "cobalt gold mine".

"Cobalt gold mines" are strategic resources in Rasiman, in other words, they are state-controlled things, and they are basically unavailable on the market. And when someone buys and sells it privately, it often attracts the attention of the "law enforcement team" - because the parliament needs to confirm the origin and use of the object, and strictly control the identity of its buyer.

So it's not impossible to auction, but this thing involves a wide range of things, and if you don't do it well, it's easy to get into trouble. Strictly speaking, the "Nogerforg Auction House" was basically the only place where Lasiman was qualified to auction the "cobalt gold mine", so the rest of the matter was quickly received by a supervisor, who easily asked Houdini to fill out a lengthy and detailed form.

However, when he saw what Houdini then filled in, he still couldn't hold back and asked out loud: "You... If you want to auction anonymously, you should have heard that "Nogferg Auctions" will charge an extra 20% as a handling fee. ”

The original commission is 10%, and in the case of ordinary auctions, "anonymous auctions" usually do not require additional fees, but "cobalt gold mines" are definitely an exception - this is similar to the modern society where someone goes to an auction house to sell tactical nuclear bombs, how many people dare to carry it?

"It doesn't matter. ”

Houdini cherishes words like gold. He doesn't care how much he charges. The purpose of the auction was not to make money - 8 kilograms of cobalt gold was big news for Rasiman indeed, but compared to the one ton of cobalt gold left in the backyard, Houdini was fully sure to tell them what it meant to be too young and naïve.

After a series of procedures, Director Broy planned to send Houdini to the door to leave, but he stood up, but Houdini did not get up. The magister calmly took out the other four charged crystals in the box, "This is the second item I hope to auction. ”

"Uh... Master Houdini, although the 'Nogforg Auction House' also auctions magic crystals, the lowest is also a high-grade product of 'Immaculate' quality, you..."

Director Brey glanced at the small charged spar and continued, "If you want this kind of mid-level magic crystal, we can contact other auction houses for you to auction on your behalf, what do you think?"

Naturally, he would not say a word of refusal, with 8 kilograms of cobalt gold in front of him, who knows if Houdini will come up with something good in the future?

"Is there a spar analyzer?"

Houdini ignored his suggestion and asked instead. The latter was stunned for a moment, and immediately took down a metal instrument inlaid with a magic circle from the shelf next to him - this is the instrument used by the Lasiman mage to determine the properties of the magic crystal, after activation, the tested magic crystal will show a unique pattern on the "display board" of the instrument, and the mages will classify the magic crystal by the pattern, if you want to find a similar magic crystal, try to choose the most similar pattern.

But magic crystals, like snowflakes, will never appear exactly the same, this is the consensus of all mages.

Familiar with the instrument, Houdini quickly started testing the first hedron and magically rubbed it on a piece of paper that he had with him. Director Brey didn't understand why he did this, but watched strangely as he picked up the remaining hedrons and repeated the previous steps.

"Master Houdini, you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Houdini stack the four sheets of paper he had just rubbed together, and then illuminate them thoroughly from below with a "light technique".

The four indistinguishable, overlapping patterns brought all of Brey's words to an abrupt halt, and he opened his mouth wide for a full ten seconds before he came back to his senses.

"Master Houdini, please go upstairs and take a step to speak. ”

This time, Houdini was invited directly to the top of the "Nogerforg Auction House" to face the general manager of the auction house - the conversation that followed was conducted under the confidentiality of the legal circle, and Houdini calmly signed another stack of agreements and again asked for an "anonymous auction".

Instead of leaving through the main entrance, Houdini walked through a secret passage of the auction house to a nearby tavern, boarded an enclosed carriage from the tavern's stables, and made a low-key circle before returning to his residence.

From this point of view, it is not for nothing that "Nogforg Auction House" can gain a foothold in front of the Magic Tower of Cologmere.

To be able to sign the auction agreement on the top floor of this auction house, I am afraid that the entire Lasiman will not be able to pick out a hundred people. But Houdini doesn't feel the slightest sense of honor or excitement at all - I don't know when he has completely broken away from his old way of thinking, and now he has a kind of "absenteeism" of ease and calm.

The dilapidated courtyard was uncleaned, and he was not interested in caring about it. After the routine meditation, Houdini fell asleep, completely undisturbed, and fell asleep peacefully.

Following. Getting up, washing, and having breakfast in the academy's cafeteria, ignoring the disdainful glances of the faculty and students, Houdini hired a carriage and two porters and began to visit the "magic grocery stores" scattered throughout the various colleges in the city of Durrell.

This time, he pulled on the "paper" produced by Evta.
