Chapter 59: Soul Shackles
Wu Ming passed the formalities as soon as possible, obtained the pocket watch of the elderly sword saint, and then put it into the card book. The other thing that Wu Ming marked was the parcel card, and the other bids were all exceeded, and Wu Ming got the gold coins that he had bid before.
Returning to the auction venue, Wu Ming was excited, he had already begun to plan in his heart, to see when he had time, the area where the Mai Sword Saint was located last year, but that place was a little far away from the Lion City, and he had to pass through several more dangerous areas, but no matter how dangerous it was, Wu Ming would also go.
"Brother Wu, what makes you like this?" Duan Yunfei and their Falcon Squad were with Wu Ming, and when they saw Wu Ming's face happy, they couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just a few leaks from the dark mark area!" Wu Ming didn't say it explicitly, but Duan Yunfei and the others also knew the meaning of picking up the leak, and they all laughed, and they each talked about the things they marked in the dark mark area, and time flew by.
When an auctioneer in a dress appeared on the stage and announced the start of the auction, the audience chatted with each other turned their attention to the stage.
In the excited and impassioned opening remarks of the auctioneer, the first auction in the Lion City began.
Wu Ming noticed that in addition to the seats that can accommodate more than 5,000 people, there are also some VIP rooms at the scene, and the glass is all dark, and it is impossible to see who is inside from the outside.
Maybe it's the real person in charge of the Lion City Management Committee, or the top three Awakened team leaders, but when the auctioneer announces the start of the auction, everyone's eyes are focused on the lot.
This is the real highlight, but everything that can be auctioned on the stage is a good thing that has been reviewed a lot, much better than the goods in the dark marked area, and the organizers only revealed some of the information about the lots in order to create the biggest response, and most of them were kept secret. So what will be auctioned today, many people are unaware.
That's why it's more appealing.
Wu Ming doesn't care, he doesn't have any money on hand now, and he can get the 'Pocket Watch of the Aged Sword Saint', Wu Ming is already making a fortune, no matter how good other commodities are, even if it is the Silver Scale Fish Man and the Giant's Broken Arm, for Wu Ming, it is not as good as the pocket watch of the Aged Sword Saint.
Soon. The experienced auctioneer asked the hostess to bring the first lot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first lot, the full-body armor created by Mr. Lu, the master of the Lion City forge, the material is the carapace of the steel-shelled crab king, and the Yuan Iron that has been tempered for thousands of years, both in appearance and defense are quite good, according to the test, the hardness of this set of armor has reached 2.5 points, and ordinary bullets will not even have traces on it. Wearing this set of armor is definitely a symbol of status and status. Now the reserve price of this lot is 200 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 50 gold coins, and the bidding starts now. ”
At the same time as the introduction. The auctioneer had already used his vitality to materialize the carded crab shell armor, and everyone was even more crazy when they saw the sturdy full-body armor, and they began to bid prices one by one.
Wu Ming didn't expect it. This first lot turned out to be the armor made of the shell of the steel-shelled crab king that he had handed in before, and Mr. Lu, the master of the forger, he had also heard of it, was the top blacksmith in the Lion City. Sure enough, the armor that came from his hand was indeed of extremely high quality.
However, Wu Ming knows that when it comes to forging skills, Master Lu is afraid that he will not be as good as Rafite, and the next time the upgrade card comes, Wu Ming plans to give Rafei a first-level upgrade card to the second level, so that Rafite can upgrade to the second-level, and he will definitely be able to create more and stronger equipment.
The only pity is that the price of summoning Rafi is too high, and every time he is summoned, this guy only builds one piece of equipment, otherwise Wu Ming would have made a fortune from this. However, this matter is not impossible in the future, and when Rafi can build more powerful equipment, Wu Ming can buy a large number of Yuan Qi cards to support the consumption of summoning, and he can also make a lot of money.
"Brother Wu, the steel-shelled crab king shouldn't be the one you hunted last time, right?" Duan Yunfei asked at this moment, Wu Ming nodded, at this stage, he is the only one who can hunt the Steel-Shelled Crab King.
In the end, this first lot sold for a high price of 650 gold coins, which is not a low price, after all, the quality of ordinary armor is only 200 gold coins.
Armor is good, but it's not as good as a rare creature card.
The second lot is a rare creature, the 'Low Grammarian'.
I have to say that even Wu Ming was moved by this biological card. The reason is simple, because this is a creature minion that can cast spells.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the importance of biological slaves does not need me to explain at all, everyone knows better than anyone else, haode biological slaves, can greatly enhance your strength, and the low grammar is a very rare first-level purple perfect quality creature, the race is undead, summoning requires 3 Earth Yuan cards and 3 flesh and blood cards, but release an attack spell 'Fireball Technique', I won't say much about the rest, the reserve price is 350 gold coins, everyone bid!"
This time, there were more bidders, and many of the Awoken thought that the creature card was more useful than the armor, and besides, it was a creature of perfect purple quality.
So the price went all the way up, and it was only a moment before it was raised to 1,000 gold coins.
"Damn, a hound is only 100 gold coins, and a brown bear is only 150 gold coins, this can buy ten hounds!" Dong Qiang of the Falcon Squad was speechless at this moment.
"It's called rare and expensive, but there aren't many slaves who can release spells, so let's try it at a price!" Duan Yunfei was obviously also moved, no matter what, their Falcon Squad still had some savings, if they could have this kind of mage-type creature slave, their strength would go up a notch.
"1050 gold!" Duan Yunfei raised the bidding sign in his hand.
"Okay, this gentleman has already paid 1050 gold coins, is there anything to increase the price?" The auctioneer said in a characteristic tone.
"Our Glory Squad bid 1,200 gold coins, everyone, please give Zhang a face!" On the other side, a man with a gloomy face spoke.
"Glory Squad?" Wu Ming turned his head to look, but he saw the other party, and said in his heart This is Zhang Kun, the captain of the Glory Squad?
Duan Yunfei frowned on the side, the other party added 1200 gold coins at a time, and the name of the team was exposed, which already had a threat in it.
And 1200 gold coins are also beyond his psychological price.
So he didn't bid again, and he was still a little worried about the Glory Squad. For fear that the last murder would be exposed.
The price was not low, and no one raised the price again, so the thing successfully reached the hands of the Glory Squad.
Wu Ming could see that this Zhang Kun's strength was not weak, and he was definitely a more ruthless character than his younger brother Zhang Xiang. Wu Ming had a feeling that sooner or later he and this Zhang Kun would have a conflict, Wu Ming didn't like to be threatened, he had already begun to think about whether to strike first.
The auction continues, with a third lot. The fourth lot was sold at a good price, and the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic, and the price was constantly refreshing.
The eighth lot, a card album called 'The Price of Liliang', fetched a whopping 2,400 gold coins, with two fixed slots, sixteen free slots, and a creature card that could be sacrificed at will after collecting two fixed cards. Summons the creature at the same time, enhancing the creature by 3 liliang, but after that, the creature card disappears.
It's a double-edged sword. But it will work wonders in some battles against powerful enemies, and the price is quite right.
When the twelfth lot came out, the auctioneer picked up the card with a smile on his face and said, "This is the twelfth lot, it is an auxiliary prop!" ”
Wu Ming just glanced at it. Immediately startled, he almost jumped out of his seat.
Even Duan Yunfei beside him felt Wu Ming's strangeness.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong?" Duan Yunfei said curiously.
"Nothing. By the way, Brother Duan, there is something I still need your help with, can you lend me some money? Wu Ming's eyes lit up as he stared at the twelfth lot.
This lot that made Wu Ming very excited was the 'soul shackles' in the ghost card album that Wu Ming had been looking for for a long time.
Wu Ming couldn't help but be excited, he had already found two of the three fixed cards in the ghost card album, and this soul shackle was one of Zuihou, and then he could activate the special ability of the card album, and his strength would be greatly improved.
So after seeing this lot, Wu Ming decided that no matter what the price, he would get it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this soul shackle can imprison the enemy's creature for a short time, just like its name, soul shackles, can lock the enemy's soul, but the consumption is a bit high, each use requires three earth element cards, but the effect is excellent, it can be regarded as a superb card, blue excellent quality, the base price is 200 gold coins......"
Although Wu Ming was extremely excited in his heart, he knew that he must not show it, let alone be too anxious.
Although Duan Yunfei didn't know that Wu Ming wanted to borrow money, he still smiled boldly: "We have 2,000 gold coins here, and we can lend them to Brother Wu." ”
"Okay, Xiexie!" Wu Ming nodded, at this moment, someone had already increased the price to 300 gold coins.
Wu Ming also raised his hand at the right time and said, "400 gold coins!" ”
“450!”
“500!”
“550”
“……”
The price is 550 gold coins, and there are a lot fewer people who ask for the price, although the soul shackles are a good item, but after all, it is just a thing that is not aggressive, and it is not a creature slave that can muscle the enemy for a long time, 550 gold coins is not low.
The auctioneer looked around, shouted twice, and saw that no one had raised the price, and was about to drop the hammer, at this time Wu Ming immediately said: "600 gold coins, no matter how high it is, I have no money, and I don't know the specific practical value, if the value is not high, then it will be a loss!" ”
The latter sentence was purely Wu Ming's deliberate muttering, but it was just enough for others to hear.
In this way, it will give people the mentality that he is gritting his teeth and calling out the zuihou price and is worried about the practical value of this thing, and when others think about it, yes, this soul shackle sounds very powerful, and it is definitely a rare card, but I don't know how effective it actually is, especially if it is not aggressive.
So in comparison, it is more cost-effective to spend money on some offensive props. (To be continued......)
