Chapter 8: Strange Stones
The beautiful auctioneer on the high platform began to introduce the next lot.
On top of the high platform, a rock was lifted.
"This is a strange stone found in an ancient ruins, according to the investigation and some mural records at the time, this strange stone should be regarded as a sacred object and accepted the sacrifice in ancient times, although a long time has passed, the ancient civilization no longer exists, but this strange stone that was sacrificed has been preserved to the present, since it can be used as a divine object to worship in ancient times, there must be some special functions, according to our current research, this strange stone has a total of three kinds of supernatural places."
"First, the weight of this strange stone is extraordinary, more than ten times heavier than ordinary rocks of the same size, which means that the material of this strange stone must be very special, but it has not been recognizable until now."
"Second, this strange stone is indestructible, and its owner tried to divide it when he found it, but he tried his best to leave the slightest scar on this surface, whether it was burned by fire or cut by a knife and axe, which is the second strange place."
"Third, put this strange stone in a basin of water, and after the next day, the water in the basin will disappear cleanly, this strange stone is suspected to be able to draw water, and even some energy, it seems that it needs energy, which is like a living thing."
"In short, this is a very special strange stone, and from these three strange points, it can be imagined that this strange stone may have more magical or wonderful uses, but its real use is not yet known."
After the auctioneer gave a detailed introduction to the strange stone, he continued: "According to the various manifestations of this strange stone. This is definitely a rare treasure, the only pity is that it has not yet discovered its true function, so the starting price is five large amethyst. It's definitely great value for money and a rare opportunity. ”
Listening to the agitation of the auctioneer, soon there were bidders.
After all, the three places she said are indeed supernatural, and they were sacrificed as sacred objects in ancient times, so it is not necessarily that this strange stone is really a rare treasure.
But others don't think so, and the people who got this strange stone before must have tried their best, but they didn't realize that the strange stone had other uses. That's why it's going to be put up for auction.
Even if they take it back, they are afraid that they will only be placed there as a stone.
If there is no other special purpose. It's just a heavier and harder rock, and its ability to absorb water or anything is even worse.
Of course, Xiao Han would not waste his precious amethyst on bidding for such a strange stone of unknown use, but he didn't want Bai Ji to suddenly stand up and stick to the giant glass in front of the box. Two red lights appeared in his eyes. Through the glass, he was scanning the strange stone from a distance.
In addition to it, there are other well-informed people who are also speculating about the origin of this strange stone.
"Strange, let me think about it......" Bai Ji whispered, apparently even it was stumped by this strange stone.
Bids continued to be made, and the price of this strange stone continued to rise, and soon there were eight large amethysts. After that, the price increase slowed down, and many people were hesitant.
"Ten large amethysts." Suddenly. There was a bid in one of the boxes on the third floor, and the price shook a lot of people.
This price has exceeded everyone's estimate of the strange stone, and after this price was quoted, there was silence all around.
"Ten large amethysts at a time, are there any higher bids?"
"Ten large amethysts twice."
There was still no one bidding for the whole week.
"Ten large amethysts triple ......"
When the auctioneer was about to say "deal", Bai Ji finally seemed to have something, and quickly pressed the instrument on the glass.
The blue light on the instrument lit up, and when the auctioneer saw this light, the word "transaction" immediately swallowed.
"Do you still want a quote for box 26?"
Bai Ji quickly hit the price of eleven large amethysts.
"Eleven large amethysts at a time." The auctioneer was delighted, and of course she hoped that the higher the price of these treasures, the better.
The box on the third floor also quickly raised the price, becoming twelve large amethysts.
Bai Ji did not hesitate to raise it to thirteen large amethysts.
Xiao Han looked at Bai Ji, and then looked at the box on the third floor, the two sides seemed to be on their shoulders, and every offer was the growth of a large amethyst, Xiao Han saw it in his eyes, and his heart was a little frightened.
Everyone in the hall fell silent, witnessing the bidding in Box 26 on the second floor and Box 53 on the third floor, the price of this strange stone was rising wildly, and soon it broke through the shocking twenty large amethysts.
The artifact such as the broken Black Iron Sword left over from the legendary Black Iron Age had only been auctioned off for twenty-six large amethysts, and it was indeed shocking that this strange stone with unknown true purpose had exceeded twenty large amethysts.
You know, this strange stone is very likely to be a big stone that is useless when it is auctioned back.
And the original owner of this strange stone looked at the price and couldn't stop laughing.
When Bai Ji reported twenty-one large amethysts, there was silence in box No. 53 on the third floor.
At this moment, there were several people sitting in this box, and among them was an old man who looked very old.
He was dressed in a purple robe, and his fingers tapped lightly against the glass.
"Who the hell is in box 26? Do you recognize the origin of this strange stone? The purple-robed old man was groaning.
"Elder, what the hell is this strange stone?"
Beside the purple-robed old man, someone asked respectfully, looking very curious.
The purple-robed old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just vaguely feel that this strange stone is extraordinary, so I want to shoot it back and study it,"
These words made several people around him secretly snort, and it turned out that the old man in the purple robe didn't know what this strange stone was at all, but he was just a little interested, so he casually quoted.
"It's just that this strange stone can't be cut according to reports, and I'm afraid it's hard to study anything."
"Well, that's true." After thinking about it, the old man in the purple robe gave up the auction and continued to bid.
Bai Ji spent twenty-one large amethysts to finally auction this strange stone, and many people were in an uproar, looking at the No. 26 box on the second floor, they all showed a look of surprise.
"Haha." Bai Ji exclaimed excitedly: "It only cost twenty-one large amethysts, and this time it is developed, yes, these guys don't know the origin of this stone at all, let me pick it up, haha." ”
Bai Ji laughed proudly, Xiao Han couldn't help but say, "Bai Ji, what is the origin of this strange stone?" ”
"Wait a minute, get your hands on it first before it's really your own." Bai Ji's voice was a little nervous and urgent, it was afraid that something would happen.
However, it didn't let it wait long, and soon a staff member brought this extremely heavy strange stone. (To be continued......) u
