Chapter 179: Bidding
As the whispering voices below grew louder and louder, Bonnard suddenly continued in a loud voice, "The energy intensity of this Flame Gem is one hundred and seventy-nine!"
The crowd at the auction was instantly ignited, and although the energy intensity of one hundred and seventy-nine was rare, it was not a problem for them, but what was the matter with one hundred and seventy-nine Red Flame Crystals?
It is common knowledge that the energy intensity of the Red Flame Crystal will not exceed forty points, and the energy intensity of the Red Flame Crystal has been smelted to nearly five times, what kind of concept is this.
This is almost turning a witchcraft into a third-order witchcraft, even if the light of wisdom is smelted in it, this is a leap forward.
However, the shock that Bonnard gave them was still not over.
"His Excellency Kenneth personally set a starting price for this ringโeight thousand soul crystals!"
Rumble!
The crowd had almost returned to the Night Breath sale, the second-highest starting price of the auction so far, and if it weren't for the credibility of the Four Seasons Garden and Kenneth's prestige, they would have almost jumped up and pointed at Bonnard.
Even if it was a flame gem with a natural energy intensity of one hundred and seventy-nine, the price could not exceed two thousand soul crystals, and the value of an artificially synthesized gem was even lower by several levels, how could the starting price of this gem be eight thousand soul crystals.
Although they didn't dare to question Kenneth in person, the whispered complaints and complaints below were inevitable.
Bonnard didn't explain much, didn't stop the noise below, didn't even say the floor amount for each increase, and just waited quietly for the auctioneer's bid.
Many people don't have enough eyes to see the secrets of this flame gem, but that doesn't mean everyone doesn't have eyes.
Several third-order alchemists in the crowd were looking excited, staring at the gem with flushed faces, as if they had seen some peerless treasure.
The VIP area, which has always seemed a little lazy and casual, suddenly became tense.
The people who can sit in the VIP area, except for Ron, the others are either financially terrifying, or extraordinary strength, of course they will not be so short-sighted, if Bonnard's introduction at the beginning can't make them pay attention to the extraordinary gem of the knife, but Kenneth's estimate of the eight thousand soul crystals is a naked hint.
Kenneth's starting price of 8,000 soul crystals can only prove one thing, and that is that the value of this auction item is definitely above 10,000 magic crystals.
It's a price that's enough to make them excited, but it's the gem itself that makes them even more excited.
Several wizards in the VIP area, who had already seen the preciousness of the gem, forcibly suppressed the urge to bid immediately, lest they attract the attention of others and raise the price of the gem.
So one after another, the second-order or even first-order followers who were in a hurry quietly left the VIP room and came to the public auction area below.
The ring had not been bid for for a long time, which made Ron scratch his head in some embarrassment.
"It seems that these 8,000 soul crystals are really Kenneth's face money for Bethrichs. โ
This embarrassment didn't last long before it was broken by a quiet bid.
"Eight thousand soul crystals!"
The noise of the crowd abruptly stopped, but after seeing that the bidder was only a first-order wizard, even more doubts were raised.
"Set such a high starting price, want to deceive us, find that you can't cheat and don't want to lose the auction, just use these offers to bid, hey, the Four Seasons Garden is nothing more than that!"
"It's just, take us for fools, such an obvious excuse. โ
After a brief silence, the bidder suddenly erupted like a blowout.
"Nine Thousand Soul Crystals!"
"Nine thousand five hundred soul crystals!"
"Eleven thousand soul crystals!"
The noisy crowd suddenly looked like ducks pinched by the throat, looking at the soaring prices in disbelief, especially these bidders, except for a few third-order witch alchemists they had seen a few times, the other bidders were all young wizards of the second order or even the first order that they had never seen before.
These are all rich people who came out of nowhere.
Ron also scratched his head and his hand stiffened in mid-air, is Periots' face so valuable?
Probably not!
So are these people crazy?
Ron still didn't realize that this was a new process embodied in gemstones, raising this terrifying price.
Just when they were puzzled, in several boxes in the VIP area, a wizard in purple robes stood up, and through the single-sided crystal mirror, if anyone could see his appearance, they would definitely exclaim in surprise, and respectfully shout out to Lord Ferus!
He is none other than the third-order master craftsman who has lived on the tower for a long time and made everyone look up to him, the maker of the breath of darkness - Philus!
"Originally, I just came out to relax, but I didn't expect to meet such a novel gemstone smelting process. โ
Philus looked at the young people who had more or less several sources, and suddenly smiled bitterly, these old friends are still so faceless and skinless, in order to pick up a leak, they actually did this kind of thing, but unfortunately they still crashed.
"But now that I've met you, you can all rest. โ
Philus smiled and typed in a price.
But when the projection of 20,000 magic crystals appeared in the sky above the auction hall, the crowd suddenly became audible, and even the young wizards stopped bidding.
They knew that once the big guys above started bidding, their mission would be a complete failure.
There are only a few people who come and go in the VIP room, and even fewer will be interested in this gem, so as soon as Ferus's bid came out, the rest of the people probably understood that Ferus had made a move, so they all stopped competing.
Twenty thousand soul crystals is also a huge amount of money for them, and even if this gem falls into their hands, they may not be able to restore the craftsmanship of production, so it is better to let Ferus try it.
After another first- and third-order master craftsman's unwilling bid of 21,000 soul crystals was directly suppressed by Philus with 22,000 soul crystals, no one continued to bid.
Bidding with this kind of person who treats the soul crystal as a magic crystal flower is really a self-respecting thing.
Ron was also dumbfounded as he watched as the final price of the ring was fixed at 21,000 magic crystals, he didn't know why it was sold at such a bizarre price, he only knew that he seemed to have made a fortune.
As for the wizard who sold the ring to Ron, he slapped himself in the face so hard that he almost suffocated to death with endless regret.
With an abundance of soul crystals in his hands, in the next auction, Ron also became casual, and shot one after another, not only won two second-order witch weapons, but also took down several very precious materials, which was worthy of spending 10,000 soul crystals.
Only then did Ron realize that spending money also requires skills.
Moses and Olina watched in a daze as Ron kept bidding, taking one auction item after another that seemed sky-high in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"If we don't have the money to settle the bill, will we be thrown out by the auctioneers after breaking our legs?"
"There is a VIP card and it should be ...... Don't break your legs. โ
