Chapter 1312: Black Market Auction (2)
The Richelieu family proved to be VIP customers on the black market, and with Killian's family badge, they managed to secure an identical VIP room in the crowded black market bounty.
"Well, the privileges of nobility are so useful!" sighed Sean as he leaned back comfortably on the couch. Through the projection device in the VIP private room, they can see the crowded trading floor of the black market bounty at any time, and Sean thinks that if there is no Killian, even if they can enter the place, they will be quickly annihilated, not to mention whether they can survive in the cracks.
"Sean, you will soon have such an identity, don't forget that Master Madison is the only Sacred Domain-level pharmacist in the continent, as his disciple, your identity will definitely rise. Alfie reminded him that he had noticed a very bad sign, and it seemed that Sean was a little too keen on being a nobleman.
"The premise is that you can pass the test of Master Madison and let him truly recognize you. To Elfie's surprise, it wasn't Killian who stood up and poured cold water on Sean, but Tylor.
"Mmmm, I'll definitely try!" Sean said with a wistful face, but he didn't know if he was looking forward to passing the test of Master Madison or looking forward to life after obtaining the status of "noble".
"Are there any rules for the auction?" Alfie asked, shaking his head slightly, turning to Killian. All he can do now is to remind him, and as for what he will do in the future, it depends on Sean himself.
"There are no rules, it's basically the same as when we bought and sold items on the black market, except that the price of these goods is usually replaced by other trading items, and there is no fixed price. Each lot seller sets a deadline before which they can place any bids. Of course, the seller can withdraw the lot at any time, but in this case, he will pay 20% of the liquidated damages of the bid at the time, and the liquidated damages will be divided equally between the black market and the highest bidder at that time. After the cut-off time, the lot will be automatically sold according to the highest bid, with of course the black market deducting a 1% transaction fee. With a powerful trading system on the black market, there will be no accidents, and the existence of the black market cloak will also ensure that the identity of the participants in the trade fair will not be revealed to the greatest extent. Killian explained, opening the interface of the black market trading desk, browsing through the lots that had already been placed.
"Isn't there an auctioneer?" asked Sean curiously, a big difference from the auctions he knew.
"How many auctioneers do you think it will take to meet such a huge volume?" Killian asked rhetorically, glancing at the numbers in the corner of the trading desk, there were already at least eighteen thousand lots listed, considering that the auction had just begun, and the whole auction would last all night, and the volume of each trade fair would be astronomical.
After listening to Killian's explanation, Alfie felt a little remorse in his heart, after so many black market auctions, just the lottery was enough to make Robert V rich, and he knew that he should knock some more benefits from him.
"But with so many auction items, how can I find the items I need before the deadline for auction items?" Tyrol interjected.
"Isn't there a search bar here? Killian pointed out enthusiastically.
"There is a question, what if the seller is unable to pay the liquidated damages when he withdraws the lot? After all, the auction is mostly barter, and the seller usually wants to exchange for the item he is missing. Alfie suddenly thought of a loophole.
"The black market has its own conversion system, and if there is no corresponding item as liquidated damages, the black market will convert it into gold coins at a price of 120 percent. Killian had expected someone to ask such a question, and explained without thinking.
"What if the seller's gold is not enough to pay the liquidated damages?" Alfie asked.
"Then the lot will be confiscated by the black market, and then converted into gold coins at 80% of the value, and the highest bidder will be paid in proportion to the highest bidder, and after deducting the share due to the black market, the remaining gold coins will be returned to the seller. Killian's answer made Alfie's eyes light up, and he seemed to have found a loophole, which of course only worked for a tyrant like him who had a lot of "useless things".
"A ten-unit magic gold rough stone needs to be exchanged for ten colorful dragon bone grasses, this guy is really black-hearted!" Tyrol grumbled lowly, and on the other counter, he had already begun to browse the auction items.
"Exchange magic gold ore for Colorful Dragonbone Grass, what kind of ghost operation is this?" Sean was clearly not the same as Tyrol, and he didn't understand the connection between the two.
"Well, don't you know? There are many precious herbs that can be used as catalysts for forging. However, this exchange ratio is indeed a bit outrageous, ten units of magic gold ore can be exchanged for a maximum of one colorful dragon bone grass. Alfie casually played with the forging knowledge he had gained when he entered Barnett's memories, and was immediately shocked by Sean, this is an encyclopedia!
"But Tyrol, why are you paying attention to ores, shouldn't you be paying attention to magic items?" asked Killian curiously, he didn't know what Tyrol's search for magic gold ore was for.
"I wanted to build myself a weapon that was good, but it was only suitable for defense, not for attack. Tyrol said with some embarrassment.
"Poof~ Are you addicted to playing prestige in the Imperial Military Department?" Killian choked on a mouthful of saliva.
Alfie looked at Tyrol thoughtfully, he remembered Tyrol's heroic appearance when he used the giant shield in the military headquarters last night, and from his performance at that time, Tyrol was still more suitable to be a warrior than a magician.
If you can't get the Suppressor Stone today, maybe you can seriously consider the possibility of Tyrol becoming a warrior, after all, he is still a magic apprentice, and it is not so troublesome to change classes, apparently Tyrol himself is aware of this. However, whether this is whether he is looking for a way back for himself or for other reasons is probably debatable. Alfie also found that after seeing Rey III and Ophiras at the celebration, some subtle changes had occurred in Tyrol, but he couldn't say exactly what had changed.
"If Tyrol wants to create a weapon that suits him, he doesn't just need raw materials, he also needs a master blacksmith to do it, I don't know if you have ever thought about this?" Alfie decided to test it.
"Is it so troublesome?" Tyrol scratched his hair in annoyance, turned his head to Killian and asked, "Killian, are there any master blacksmiths in the Imperial Capital?"
Seeing Tyrol's performance, Alfie was relieved, Tyrol was definitely improvised, not premeditated.
