Chapter 0019: Alice feels that there are little things everywhere
The man and beast on the Colosseum went from confrontation to scuffle.
They intertwined their limbs, fought to the death, tried to crush each other underneath, and beastly roars continued to come out of it, making the blood of the surrounding audience boil.
If the above description is crooked, please think about it yourself. Plus, there's really a beast in it.
"I admit it's a lesson, but if it's malicious and based on deception, I don't think I can accept it. ”
"What can you do if you don't accept it?Ronald, I'm afraid you're not qualified to bargain with me, and besides, I'm not lying to you, collecting all kinds of magic items is indeed my hobby, and besides, the music box you sold me is now lying in my cabinet for my collection, and it has always been my favorite collection except for a technician to open it and draw a structural diagram. You know, this is the world of the aristocracy, and I've always felt that as a commoner, you have to know to keep your duty before you have the strength. The Grant family used to be civilians, you see, we are very careful about our duties, we should not touch the interests not to touch, not to provoke the people not to touch, and then slowly accumulate strength, I know that many people have a lot of complaints about us, but so what, in the face of different people, we have different ways of coping, people who complain about us can't do us harm, on the contrary, we can create enough benefits for more powerful people, they won't complain about us. If now you become an official magician or nobleman, then we should be collaborators, now, I really don't know what you can do? ”
"Hah! You are right in saying that this world is the world of nobles. But if you don't feel bad and distrust of you because of profit? I think you underestimate the powerful people in this world, they are much more complex than you think. And, I don't think the Grant family will be a family with a big nobility as you might think. ”
Alice, who was on Luo Xiaotian's right, stared at the hard struggle of one man and one beast on the stage, and said these words without waves.
"This young lady, to tell you the truth, I really can't say anything more until I know your identity, you know, I thought it would be Nina who came with Ronald today, in that way, what to say and what not to say, what attitude to use will become a very simple matter. Why don't we continue watching the show? You see, it's almost over. ”
Hearing Marcus say this, Nina's expression instantly became pleasant, and then she seemed to think of something again, and quickly restrained the expression on her face.
Alice, who was next to her, was still staring at the stage, and then spat out her words to the smiling Marcus.
"You'll know. ”
......
The battle on the Colosseum finally came to an end, and the human slave in white linen stabbed the short sword into the heart of the manticore at the cost of being bitten by the manticore, and his whole body pressed against the manticore, before exerting enough strength, after that, he turned over and lay on the Colosseume, gasping for breath. The blood donation stained half of his body red, which was particularly dazzling on the white Colosseum.
The cage was raised, and the stadium's medic helped the victor from the arena to the arena, and if Marcus hadn't lied, he would have his final game on the third day, and death awaited him except freedom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if this show has satisfied you? The appetizers are over, and then the long-awaited auction will be held, and after months of collecting, there will definitely be something to your satisfaction in the following lots, so please wait a moment and we will present you with the first piece of the collection. ”
After waiting for the Colosseum to clean the central Colosseum, the auction officially begins. I don't know if it's because I've lost interest or if I'm thinking about something else, Marcus on the left doesn't say anything about the auction, and what kind of auction is not something that civilians can enjoy.
Dressed in simple white clothes, a young girl dragged a small tray onto the stage. Subsequently, the middle-aged man who had spoken as the master of ceremonies did not appear again, and the person who walked on stage became an old man in a dress with gray hair.
"Hello everyone, I am the Chief Appraiser of Grant Auctions, and below is the first collection of this auction. ”
Lifting the white cloth on the tray, a red gem appeared on the tray, it was held by a transparent glass stand, and the light above hit the girl, making the red gem continue to glow faintly.
"This is a collection from the Ancient Magic Tower, which has stood the test of time for at least five thousand years, this red gemstone has a stable structure, and after our testing, it can produce a fifty percent increase in elemental magic, whether it is embedded in a magic wand or used as the core of a magic circle, it will bring satisfactory results. The reserve price is 300 gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 20 gold coins each time. ”
Luo Xiaotian always felt that this red gem was very familiar, and when he heard that it came from the Ancient Magic Tower, he finally understood that this was one of the gems they had gotten. I don't know who actually sold it.
Perhaps because there was no magician in the audience, this ruby with a reserve price of 300 gold coins was really increased in price to the extent of 20 gold coins and 20 gold coins, and finally won by the person sitting in the third row for 400 gold coins.
It should be noted here that there is no correspondence between the color of the gem and the type of elemental magic, so if you see an elemental mage happily performing ice magic with a staff inlaid with a large red gem, don't be surprised, this is normal. It is the minerals that determine the color of the gemstone, and the color of the gemstone does not represent anything except that some special magic has requirements for the color of the gemstone, or the minerals in it.
Luo Xiaotian had always thought that purple gemstones represented hit rates, sapphires represented ice systems, rubies represented fire systems, topazes represented electrical systems, and finally white gems represented light systems. Well, maybe they can also be crafted, so, where to find that square box?
Anyway, from the time the first auction item appeared, Luo Xiaotian knew that he couldn't afford to buy one.
......
"The next piece of the collection, I think, must be the most suitable thing for this summer. This is a crest of ice from the Far North, made of ice beneath the ice cap of the Far Arctic Ice Sheet, wearing this crown of ice, the ice will release enough cold air and will not melt, so you can easily spend the whole summer. In addition, it is said that this ice crystal crown originated from a small country that perished in the Far North Ice Field, and was an ornament for the princess before the country's demise. ”
The ice crystal crown on the tray is gorgeous, crystal clear, and it seems that you can feel the cold smell emanating from it from such a distance.
Luo Xiaotian sat up straight in an instant, here he comes, this is what he wants!
"The price of this Ice Crystal Crown starts at one thousand gold coins, and each increase must not be less than one hundred gold coins, and the auction starts now!"
After hearing this, Luo Xiaotian's body that sat up straight in an instant collapsed again, and he couldn't afford to buy this crystal crown even if he sold him, and if he thought about it carefully, it was not good for him to wear such a thing as a big man, well, yes, he didn't feel sorry at all.
It seemed that the Ice Crystal Crown was well received by all the women present, and soon the auction price exceeded two thousand gold coins, and there was no sign of stopping.
No matter what age a woman is, I am afraid that she does not want to be lucky enough to put on good makeup, tidy up her hair, and choose good clothes to dry in the sun, and be all ruined by sweat, crumpled and sticky on her body.
"Oh? It seems interesting, two thousand five hundred gold coins. ”
Alice, who was sitting next to Luo Xiaotian, seemed to be interested in this crystal crown, and raised the price of five hundred gold coins at one time.
A woman in the second row gritted her teeth: "Two thousand six hundred gold coins!"
"Three thousand gold coins. ”
Without any hesitation, Alice was extremely domineering.
The woman in the second row hesitated and didn't try to raise the price again.
"Three thousand gold coins? Is there anyone who offers a higher price? As far as we know, there is only one in the entire Bauhinia Empire... Okay, then three thousand gold coins once, three thousand gold coins twice... Three thousand gold coins three times, sold! Congratulations to the lady sitting in the first row. ”
Luo Xiaotian is envious, it's a pity that the cold and comfortable summer has left him.
"Ronald, what do you think I'm going to do with this Ice Crystal Crown?"
"Huh, isn't it meant to be worn?"
seemed to see Luo Xiaotian's look of pity, and Alice next to him talked about this matter of the Ice Crystal Crown.
"If you think it wouldn't be strange to wear this, I can lend it to you, but before that, this Ice Crystal Crown contains a secret about the small destroyed country of the Far North Ice Field. It was nowhere near worth three thousand gold coins, but everything needed to be found out from this Ice Crystal Crown. I don't know how a small auction of this size would have such a thing as an Ice Crown, but I absolutely didn't have to buy it, so it's really just a 'fun' little thing. ”
"Uh... Why do you want to tell me that you're not afraid that I'll tell anyone about it, it's a secret, right?"
"So didn't you say it? It's just a 'fun' little thing that tells you maybe it will make things more interesting. As for what the hell is the secret, I don't think it's possible for anyone to go to the Far North Ice Sheet in the near future, right?"
"That's right..."
The Arctic Ice Field, it is said that it is far, far away from here, and Luo Xiaotian feels that even if he graduates from the Imperial Academy of Magic, he will not have the opportunity to go to the Arctic Ice Field.
"Next is the highlight of this auction, please keep your eyes open!"
A remark from Stanley, the chief appraiser on the Colosseum, attracted the attention of most of the audience. Many people seemed to know something in advance and sat up straight.
