Section 723 Ups and downs
"Gerald, how could he be interested in such a shoddy music box?" ChΓ’lons pushed away the girl sitting on top of him, his eyes looking down at the auction below.
A trace of doubt rose in Shalon's heart. With Gerald's alchemy level, he will suddenly be interested in a music box, which is definitely boring.
"Could it be, he's really blinded by this music box?" Sha Long stared at the elegant black and gold box on the tray, faintly feeling a little unpleasant.
When Sharon looked at the music box, the price outside had soared to 750 magic crystals.
David trembled and raised the sign and quoted a price: "750 magic crystals." β
The apprentices near him cast mixed eyes, envy, doubt, ridicule, but more admiration...... Although they didn't know who the person in VIP Room 7 was, there was no doubt that they were definitely not rich or expensive to enter the VIP room, and there was a high probability that they were official wizards.
David actually dared to compete with an official wizard, how could others not admire.
However, in addition to admiration, some people persuaded in a low voice: "Boy, I also have this phantom sound box, don't bid, I'll sell you 300 magic crystals, how about it?"
"Don't listen to him, the most expensive outside this phantom box is only more than 200 magic crystals, you don't need to bid at all. It's better to save some money and buy it yourself. β
David also heard the persuasion of the people around him, and he was a little unimpressed by the words of these people. It was Ingres' work, and it could not be compared to the pirated goods on the rotten streets outside.
But some of their words are true.
David was also trembling with fear at this time, he didn't know why the person in the VIP room opposite was bidding with him, but he really didn't want to put Ingres's work in auction here anymore. always felt that the behavior of the ancient auction insulted Ingres, so he was also brave and raised the price again.
When the price reached 800 magic crystals, the surrounding voices were even more uproaring.
A small phantom sound box, how can it reach this price. This price can be squeezed into the middle class of the auction in the monthly auction!
The buyers present discussed one after another, and they had doubts and speculations about the guests in the VIP room No. 7.
Standing on the stage, Xi Lun's expression was a little stunned at this time, but there was also some imperceptible joy in his heart. Before he auctioned this item, he was still wondering if he had made a mistake in appraisal, but now that the price is out, it can be seen that his appraisal skills have not diminished, and it is the head of the Shalong family who has misjudged.
Thinking of this, Siren was also a little worried. The head of the Shalong family must be paying attention here, a music box that he thinks is 50 magic crystals, has multiplied so many times at this time, isn't it a slap in the face on the spot.
Perhaps, the face of the head of the Shalong family has darkened now. Siren shook his head secretly, fortunately, the bidder was Gerald, and even if the head of the Shalong family was angry, he would not implicate this well-known alchemist.
But thinking of Gerald, Ceren also wondered, why did Gerald shoot this music box? Could it be that he came to this auction for this music box?
Gerald, who was puzzled by Siren, was thinking secretly at this time.
Although there is a shielding mechanism on the stage, based on Gerald's experience, he just used the naked eye to observe the properties, performance, and colors, and roughly guessed all the materials of the music box, and these materials are actually more than one advanced material.
This means that there is a high probability that this is an advanced alchemical work.
Gerald came to this auction for a broken atlas, but it wasn't a loss to see an advanced music box and buy it for a few hundred magic crystals.
Moreover, he didn't feel the breath of blending alchemy, thinking that it was other alchemy techniques, whether it was alchemy of small schools or enchantment, he hadn't dabbled much in it, but he could study it by buying this music box.
But when the apprentice outside offered the price to 900 magic crystals, Gerald was also a little hesitant.
He's not bad for money, but he doesn't want to waste it either. It's just a research item, there's no need to spend so much money to buy it, it's just ...... He was a little worried that an apprentice would dare to bid with him.
"910 Magic Shards. After Gerald said this offer, David wanted to increase the price immediately, but before he could speak, Gerald's voice came out again: "This is my last bid, if you want to increase the price, hehe, then let this thing be given to you." β
With a faint and threatening sneer, Gerald spread throughout the auction hall.
David, who was still ready to bid, hesitated. Obviously, the people in the VIP room are angry, and if they continue to bid, they are very likely to offend the other party.
But if he didn't bid, he really didn't feel comfortable in his heart.
As David hesitated, Siren began to count down. Although he is very happy that the music box has been auctioned at such a price, he also wants to skip this lot quickly, otherwise every time a price is made, the head of the Shalong family will be slapped in the face, once or twice, if he is very angry, it is estimated that the object of Shalon's involvement is likely to add his name.
David finally decided to give up the bid, and he already felt from Gerald's words just now, the other party was definitely an official wizard, and he recognized it in the face of Gerald's might.
But after David stopped bidding, someone in the VIP room interrupted Silen's countdown.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about this music box, the apprentice who bid just now, can you tell me why you are bidding?" It was Liana who spoke, she actually always felt that the music box was a little strange in her heart, but in the words of her friend Tong Witch, she gradually let go of her doubts.
But Gerald's sudden bid made her doubts rise again.
Liana was not in a position to question Gerald, so she simply asked about the apprentice who had just participated in the auction.
David, who was questioned by the wizard, was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.
But before David could speak, there was a sudden commotion from nowhere: "It seems that I saw that day, this music box was actually sent by him." β
As soon as this voice came out, there was an upsurge of discussion below.
pushed David directly to the forefront, and even Gerald shouted: "It turned out that you sent it to the auction yourself, so you are maliciously raising the price? Do you know what will happen to you if you offend me!"
Under the scriminating gaze of everyone and Gerald's questioning, David's feet began to tremble, and his face turned pale.
David only felt that the closest he came to death in his life was probably this moment. Even, when Hercules took him into the abyss to find the bloodline of the Iron Hedgehog, he was not as frightened as he is now.
Siren on the stage, looking at David's appearance, sighed slightly in his heart.
He knew very well that the voice that suddenly appeared just now, brought up the rhythm and then gradually disappeared, was definitely the handiwork of the head of the Shalong family.
Xilun sighed secretly, this kind of thing revealing the information of the auctioneer is actually against the rules of the auction. Fortunately, it was not revealed on the surface that Shalon borrowed other people's mouths and pushed David to the point that Wanfu was pointing at. At least, the authority of the Ancient Auction was maintained on the surface.
However, there are many people who can see this clearly, including Gerald, who must also see the door, but this matter itself is beneficial to him, so he doesn't need to point it out, but uses the east wind to scold David.
Davy felt like his heart was about to stop beating for a moment.
He opened his mouth, his mind racing to find a way to break the game.
Seeing that the power was getting heavier and heavier, in such a situation, David suddenly shouted: "That's right, it was indeed sent by me, but I didn't bid maliciously, I just wanted to shoot my things back." β
As soon as David's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"There's no point in you doing that. Auctioning on your own will only add trouble to the auction!"
"As you can see, I've been raising the price from beginning to end, and I haven't even flinched in the face of the Venerable Wizard. Because I really regretted sending it away, and now I really want to shoot it back. David simply told the truth, "I also know that I don't follow the rules when I auction my own things, and it will cause trouble for the auction, but if someone increases the price, I can't give it up." β
If he lies, he will probably be caught immediately. But he was telling the truth, there were many people here who could learn the real tricks, and after a little test, they knew that what David said was true.
"If you do want to shoot back, that's understandable. After all, you have dared to face the official wizard, which shows that your determination is very sincere. A faint voice came out, it was from Liana's VIP room earlier, but the voice was from the Witch Kiritsu.
As a new wizard, Kirilla Witch actually has some thinking that has not yet stepped out of the category of apprenticeship. So, she also understands some of David's actions, but his actions are indeed inappropriate. Not only will it offend the bidders, but it will also cause trouble for the auction.
"Kiri's witch is right, your determination to shoot back can be seen to be very sincere. But I'm curious why you don't want to sell it again?, you have a feud with Lord Gerald?"
David hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not the case, I don't know Lord Gerald, it's because I don't want to ......"
- I don't want to hand over Ingres's works to the ancient auction to trample on.
David didn't say this sentence because he saw Siren standing on the stage, and his originally kind expression flashed with a cold light in his eyes as he spoke......
David swallowed the reason back and squeaked for a long time.
Xi Lun's cold expression slowly softened, but fortunately, this guy is not too stupid.
But David doesn't say why, there are always people who love to stir up trouble and want to dig out the truth.
"Say, what's the reason? Since you don't have an enmity with Lord Gerald, do you ...... What is the disagreement with the Ancient Auction?"
At this time, Xi Lun interrupted everyone's words with an indifferent expression: "Why should everyone continue to argue, it is the time of everyone here who is wasting. The auctioneer has broken our rules, and the auctioneer has signed a contract to deliver the lot to the stage, and there is no room for regret, so we have to go through all the processes. β
"Your own bid is invalid, based on the 200 magic crystals of Lord Gerald's first bid, if no one continues to bid, this item will go to Lord Geralar. β
Siren directly concluded with a strong and domineering behavior.
After all, in the wizarding world, where there are no laws and regulations, the rules set by the auction itself are the greatest. According to the rules of ancient auctions, when the lot is sent to the stage, the auctioneer has no room for remorse, otherwise it will be an embarrassment for the auctioneer.
If you bid low-key, auction back yourself, and pay the middle price difference and taxes, they can also turn a blind eye. But since the identity of David's sentder has been revealed, I'm sorry to do things according to the rules.
Xi Lun wanted to take this matter strongly, and the others did not want to waste any more time, so they said that they should hurry up and make a final decision and carry out the next auction.
Xilun also shouted in his mouth: "200 magic crystals for the second time, 200 magic crystals for the third ......"
David's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he suddenly said: "This music box is an alchemy illusion refined by Angel!"
Sylen paused, and looked at the wheels suspiciously, wondering what David was shouting about?
But before Xi Lun could react, the light screen in front of him suddenly poured out countless prices, and there were also many apprentices below who raised the bidding sign almost at the same time, ranging from 300 magic crystals to 800 magic crystals in their mouths.
At the same time, there was also an offer in the VIP room: "2000 magic crystals!
