Chapter 8 So Valuable?
As one of the best auction houses in Lorraine, Sorbis is naturally in excellent condition. But unlike other auction houses, Sobies's appraisers are very famous in the whole continent, and in Lorraine, no one dares to call them first.
And now, Sorbis's chief appraiser, the wand expert Beron, has been specially invited to identify an item that is said to be commissioned by the Grand Magister Merlin for auction.
"Originally, the rules of the bank should not leak the client's information, but considering that Master Belon and Lord Merlin are close friends, I just revealed to you that the mana mark is Lord Merlin's three-headed dragon Yes, I have already confirmed with the badge experts in the line, I don't know if this will help you identify items." Kristina stood respectfully aside, carefully speaking to Veron.
"It's not a good friend, it's just an old buddy who still likes each other. PerΓ³n looked down at the auction items on the table.
"But......" Peron looked up at the man in the black robe outside the laboratory, "not Merlin himself, he's not so young, and he won't be so quiet. β
The person who came to the auction house was naturally Damian.
In order to earn alimony for the little dragons, he finally decided to start with the equipment in the cave.
He deliberately chose a staff that looked very ordinary, and neither the staff itself nor the spar at the top could compare with the "dragon's eye".
It's not bad to think that I can sell it for a few hundred gold, and it's good not to reveal my identity.
So he made a disguise, went to the market to buy a big black robe, and learned this little trick of voice-changing magic from a spell booklet on the sidelines, and finally threw out Merlin's mana mark to get by.
The mark is true, when he asked Merlin for the staff, he used "If you don't give me compensation, I won't learn dragon breath in my life" as a threat, so Merlin reluctantly authorized him to use this mark.
However, Merlin's exact words were, "Don't take it out until it's in the most critical moment." β
And Damian naturally pretended not to understand what a "critical moment" was.
Since then, the career of the Grand Magister Merlin has officially begun.
Jianghu people are called Lorraine's back-handed man.
But what Damien didn't expect was that this staff was not ordinary.
.........
PerΓ³n leaned over the table and looked at it for a long time, then finally stood up.
Looking at Kristina's inquiring eyes, he said slowly, "This is an epic staff. β
"If it can exert its unique effects, it can actually be regarded as a legendary staff. β
"However, it's a pity that this old guy is useless as a hero. Peron stroked the shaft of the staff, his gaze meaningful.
"It's used to slay dragons. β
"Slay the dragon?" Krittina couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "hasn't the dragon disappeared for a thousand years? β
"A bunch of ignorant and ignorant people who simply don't understand the nature of this world. β
"There is no doubt about the existence of dragons. β
"In the era when dragons ruled the world, dwarves hid in the strata with their treasures and shivered, and the elves worshipped dragons as gods, and only humans dared to challenge dragons, and after thousands of years of cruel and bloody wars, they were finally pulled down from their thrones. β
With that, Peron picked up his staff and took a closer look.
"This staff is from the most famous dragon slayer family, Bernoulli. β
"Bernoulli, why haven't I heard that name?" asked Kritina.
Peron lowered his staff and looked up at the dome, where the ceiling was painted with the famous mural of the Holy See "The End of the Doom", which depicts the siege of the Lord of Hell by the Holy Angel's legion under the command of the Lord of Light.
"In that final battle of the dragon slayer a thousand years ago...... Belon said slowly.
"Most of the Bernoulli family has disappeared, and since then the family has fallen into the middle of the road and disappeared into the long river of history. β
"Along with them, there are many names of the Megatron Continent, as if the Heavenly Father used his giant palm to erase half of the big people in this world. β
Kritina keenly caught Peron's title for God being Father rather than Lord of Light, but she didn't dare to ask.
Still unaware of the story, Veron suddenly smiled and said, "But luckily, it's gone." β
"The dragon that is said to be 'Red Satan'. β
Damian felt that he had been in this place for so long that he wondered if he had entered the black shop and these people wanted to ignore his things.
The appraisal room is a glass house that is transparent on all sides, which is also to ensure the safety of the client's belongings and reduce the risk of being dropped. Ever since things entered the laboratory, Damian had been staring intently inside. He saw a gray-bearded old man holding his staff and touching and looking at it for a long time, and finally chatted with the salesman who looked as beautiful as the Victoria's Secret supermodel.
Is this thing worth anything or not, don't put your sister at this critical moment, okay, old man.
Damian's whole body is going to Sparta.
Finally, Old Man Greybeard and Kristina walked out of the laboratory.
"Hello. Graybeard took the initiative to extend his hand, "I'm the appraiser Veron. β
"Hello. Damian also reached out and shook it symbolically.
"Your item identification process has been completed. "If I hadn't looked away, this was an epic staff.
Dami let out a calm hum, but his heart was already overturned.
It's really a random scrap of copper and iron on the side of the road, which is a dragon slaying knife.
"According to our suggestion, the starting price for this staff is 3,000 gold. β
"What!?" exclaimed Damian, unable to hold back any longer.
Veron glanced at him and continued: "Because the affinity system of this staff is too special, it is difficult to exert its effect now, and it is indeed too plain in appearance, which is a test of the buyer's vision. β
Krittina thought that Damian felt that the price was too low, and came out to help explain: "According to Master Peron's estimate, this lot should be sold for between 3,000 and 5,000 gold, but if the price is too high at the beginning, it is likely to scare buyers away, and it will increase the risk of unsuccessful auctions." β
"Oh... It's okay... Then do as you say. Damian hasn't recovered from the shock, he thought that a few days ago he was still deceiving Party A and Party B for 300 gold, and now he just picked up something and sold it for 3000 gold, and the ups and downs of life are nothing more than this.
"Yes sir. Kritina smiled sweetly, "Then I'll take you to the formalities." β
Damian nodded, and was about to leave with Kritina when Peron suddenly spoke.
"I would venture to ask, sir, Lord Merlin is yours?"
"It's my teacher. Damian said this with a little weakness, because after all, he had never treated Merlin as a teacher, more like Merlin's rival had sent him to wreak havoc.
"That's... What do you call it?"
"Mei... Merlot. Damian gave himself a pseudonym that looked a little related to Merlin according to the Chinese habit of naming him.
"Yes, Mr. Merlot. PerΓ³n looked at Damian, and as if believing him, he turned sideways to get out of the way.
"Good luck with your auction. β
