Chapter 124: The Axe That Quoted 10 Billion Cosmic Coins
The man in the booth next to him was the big man with a meaty face in front of Gu Ding when he was at the front desk before, and he recognized Gu Ding in an instant.
Gooding looked down at his stall, and it turned out to be the axe he had brought to the front desk to have the treasure bot identify as "not of any value".
"Does this guy really think this axe is valuable?" Gooding couldn't figure it out, he had always thought that this big man had deliberately gone to the front desk to make trouble, but now he put the stall in the tower, and in this tower, the booth fee was charged every day.
"Hey, boy, don't go!" Gooding stopped in front of his stall for a moment, then turned and walked towards the next stall, only to be stopped by the big man.
"What's the matter?" Gooding looked back with some confusion.
"I just wanted to ask you if the things you later took for appraisal were also found to be worthless."
"There is no problem with my results." Gooding shook his head, he actually wanted to tell the other party that it wasn't the problem of the treasure bot, it was the problem of the axe, but after all, he couldn't help but speak.
"How is that possible?" The man looked down at his axe with some disbelief, "It's obviously something that has been handed down from our family's ancestors, how can it be worthless?" ”
"Sea Emperor, the treasure robot shouldn't be able to make mistakes, right? Have you seen his axe? Gooding couldn't help but ask.
"I probably scanned his axe, and I didn't find anything special, the material composition of each part was clear at a glance, and the arrangement and structure of each component could be clearly seen. To be honest, the workmanship of this axe is quite average. "The evaluation given by the Sea Emperor is obviously not very high," This guy is estimated to have been deceived by the elders in the family since he was a child, and he has been kept in the dark until now and does not know the truth. ”
"Before Grandpa died, he clearly said that there was an ancestor in the family who used this axe to slay a dragon" The content of the man's low muttering was clearly heard by the Sea Emperor.
Gu Ding was about to leave, but was stopped by the Sea Emperor, "Gu Ding, wait, you pick up that axe and let me scan it carefully." ”
Although Gu Ding was a little puzzled, he still turned around and said to the man, "Can you let me take a look?" ”
"You want to buy it?" The man stopped muttering, and looked at Gu Ding with some surprise, Gu Ding was obviously not interested just now.
"I'll take a look." Gooding felt that if the Sea Emperor scanned it again, the result should be the same. However, he still picked up the axe as the Sea Emperor said, and his hand was very heavy, and other than that, Gooding didn't feel anything else.
He also carefully studied the axe in his hand, the handle of the axe was made of black metal, and the rust on the axe was mottled, and the rust spots made Gu Ding frown slightly.
Noticing Gu Ding's expression, the man hurriedly explained, "These rust stains can't be cleaned up, and I have used a variety of cleaning agents to no avail." ”
After a while, Gu Ding's ears came with the Sea Emperor's somewhat anxious voice, "Gu Ding, buy it!" I've seen it before, and this is definitely a good thing! ”
Gu Ding quietly reached out and stroked the rust spots, but no rust stains fell off, "What price do you want to sell this axe?" ”
"Ten Billion Cosmic Coins!" When the man quoted this price, Gu Ding was completely speechless.
When he heard 10 billion, he thought that the other party wanted the lion to ask for 10 billion star coins, but he didn't expect the other party to ask for 10 billion universe coins, but looking at the other party's appearance, it didn't look like he was joking at all. What made Gooding feel strange was that the Sea Emperor, who heard the price, remained silent.
"You quote this price, you don't want to sell it at all, right?" Gooding squinted at each other.
"It's not that I want to quote this price, it's that my grandfather said before he died, that if one day, I lose all my family property and can't live without selling this axe, then I will sell at least 10 billion cosmic coins. For this matter, he also asked me to make a curse-type spiritual contract, if the price is less than 10 billion cosmic coins, I will be cursed and go bad luck for 100 years."
Hearing this, Gooding chose to remain silent, and he was waiting for the Sea Emperor to give a reply.
"This thing is worth more than the witch staff in your hand, and 10 billion cosmic coins are cheap to buy." The reply given by the Sea Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, made Gooding feel extremely surprised. "The curse he said should also be true, I just scanned his body, and there are indeed traces of the curse. There is also this special curse that makes people unlucky. ”
"At this price, I don't think it's very likely that you can sell it." Gu Ding's words were actually said to the Sea Emperor, "When the auction is over, there should be a lot fewer buyers here, if it is still not sold by then, you can find me." ”
After Guding finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, at this time he was not in the mood to continue walking, and left the tower directly.
Out of the tower, Gooding asked, "What the hell is that axe?" ”
"The owner of that axe is supposed to be a god, and unlike the staff of the Witch Clan, this axe is a melee weapon, stained with the blood of the dragons. The axe itself was sealed, and the residual dragon blood covered it covered with the aura of the seal, so I hadn't noticed anything unusual about this axe before. The rust spots you see are the traces left by the dragon's blood. The Sea Emperor's explanation shocked Gooding a little.
"Dragons, did they really exist? I always thought it was just legendary creatures. Gooding couldn't help but ask.
"The dragon clan is one of the earliest intelligent races to appear in the cosmic sea, and they not only have intelligence that is not weaker than that of humans, but also have strong strength by nature. The real dragon clan, as long as it reaches the maturity stage, naturally has a power comparable to that of a god. They were most active in the ancient era, ruling almost an entire era, and the entire cosmic sea was their world. But in the end, it still failed to escape the catastrophe of the change of times, and the entire race was almost wiped out, leaving only a few."
Hearing the Sea Emperor's story, Gu Ding was a little distracted, he couldn't imagine that such a powerful race was still destroyed.
"The main reason I let you buy the axe is not because of the axe itself, but because of the dragon's blood. Through the remaining blood stains, I should be able to study the characteristics of the dragon's genetic chain, which will be of some help to your future evolutionary direction. If I get enough genetic information, I might even be able to clone dragons. Of course, there is no way to achieve this kind of thing in the short term. ”
"And that axe, when your strength is enough, you can erase the remaining will to fight of the original owner and refine it again, and the value of that witch staff is significantly higher than that witch staff." The Sea Emperor calculated everything well.
Gooding thought of a practical question, "I think if the curse that guy said is true, he should be unlikely to reduce the price, so the biggest problem now is that we don't have enough money." ”
Hearing Guding's question, the Sea Emperor was silent for a moment before he put forward his thoughts, "Otherwise, let's sell that witch staff this time, it's useless for us to keep that thing anyway." ”
