Chapter 175: Enter the auction room
The stone statue of the Duke of Tarotta, which is dozens of meters high, stands in the midst of the sea of people.
Everyone who comes to this glory square will see him for the first time, this hero who represents the pinnacle of the empire.
Chloe Tarotta guarded the Western Regions as the Grand Duke of Amnesty, and when he was at war with Carilna, the god of war was a one-man force that shook the other party's hundred-strong mercenary group.
Legend has it that he once ran around the mountains with a broad knife in his hand, chasing a million-year-old beast, and there are many legends of bravery like this, and he is the idol of the young people here.
There is even a legend that he is in this square, blocking the tide of moon dry bone beasts once in a hundred years, up to millions of years of fierce beasts, down to hundreds of years of fierce beasts, the boundless sea of fierce beasts, enough to destroy any city along the way, and this duke changed this phenomenon, well-trained and elite army, strong mercenary legion, under his command, those fierce beasts directly blocked the border of the empire.
This is something that no one has done in hundreds of years.
Although the price they paid was also quite huge, without Chloe's courage and practice, all this would have been a fantasy.
Although he was a little scornful of the so-called wars of these empires, the blocking of the tide of the moon withered bone beasts was enough to make him respect, this was the beginning of collectivism, and people on the battlefield no longer paid attention to the courage of individualism, but learned to cooperate, a ball of loose sand and a piece of steel, the difference between heaven and earth.
The wars of this era, they really can't be associated with those large-scale battles, it's more like a group of people fighting, of course, a group of ruined guys, the biggest lord in the region, and then mobilize the lords under them, and then just like that, one by one, the army is gathered, and of course there are some mercenary groups that rely on war to eat.
How can such a team with their own ghosts have cohesion, and this legendary hero has done it, and the difficulty is by no means clear in one sentence or two.
Now there is a million-year-old powerhouse in a team, which is considered a top mercenary team, and it is the object of countless lords, and the company wants to change this situation, even if it is a weaker person for one hundred and eighty years, as long as he can use the musket, there is still the possibility of killing the million-year-old strong, this is the deterrent power brought by the musket, the power of science and technology.
And it is rumored that this huge auction is led by the duke, so no one dares to make trouble no matter how chaotic the scene is.
There is a special place in the square for some people to set up stalls, as long as you like to go over and discuss with the stall owner, and generally this kind of place has real and fake, it is a place to test people's knowledge and eyesight, and it is also a holy place for some Taobao lovers.
Of course, he didn't have the confidence to pick out gold from the pile of fakes, so he targeted the attic behind the statue.
It's a bit like a modern office building, there is no too luxurious decoration, some are rooms one by one, and there is a spirit stone at the door of each room, as long as you probe your spiritual power, you can know what goods are being photographed here.
Each room can accommodate hundreds of people, but compared to the flow of people, it is still far behind, so there is a limit to the number of people who can enter every day, which means that if you want to enter, you have to queue up in advance.
Of course, such a mechanism obviously cannot affect the lords of this city, although Chloe's hand is extended to Morston's territory, but Morston's character obviously will not say anything.
As early as a day ago, Ruka, who had been swimming here, received an order and immediately went to the number, but only grabbed today's number, which shows how popular it is.
At the door of the office building, Luka is waving his hand at the three of them, this is a real Taobao maniac, he is wandering around almost every day, he just simply likes this feeling, the excitement of finding treasures in the scrap.
He and Morston and Old Longno quickened their pace, and the short distance under the crowd of people was stunned for five minutes, and they were sweating in a hurry, while Luka wiped the sweat from his head and was happy.
As the prince's personal guard, it is obvious that he did not fulfill the word "close", of course, the main reason is because the prince doesn't like it, and the prince always engages in those strange dangerous goods, so this personal guard always runs around in the name of the prince doesn't like it, and Morston is also happy.
At this time, Morston looked reluctant, obviously he liked elegance, he was not interested in this place, and even a little disgusted.
The constant noise and the smell that permeated the air made him disgusted with this place, but the prince's red pupils flashed with identification, and he had told him that these were stumbling blocks on the road to progress, and that only by crossing them could the truth be found.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, Morston doesn't care, the only thing that really excites him is the word invention.
Let the guards downstairs see the number, only Lu and Morston went in, one person can only take one number, this is still Luka called his companions, this is the only two, Lao Longnuo is not interested in the auction, so these two guys who like Taobao ran away.
Murphy and Morston pursed their lips, smiled at each other, and walked inside.
With thirty minutes to go before each auction room opens, Lun and Morston had to hurry up and walk through the five- or six-story building to determine which auction house had what they needed.
The most fucking thing about this auction house is that every auction room is open at the same time, and it is impossible to take care of every auction house without a big family or a big power, and he also thought about asking everyone from Morston to come and bid here, but then he thought about it, and it seemed that they didn't know what they needed to do it, and besides, this earl was not as rich as he looked.
The two of them walked through the building as fast as they could, and found that there were really a lot of necessary things, and it looked like there were still a few minutes before the auction of all the venues began, and after discussing with Morston, they decided to go their separate ways, because there were two auction rooms that had the most needed things under their dormitories.
The eleven palm-sized pieces of special metal that he aimed at were called elastic gold, because of his special compression resistance and elasticity, and were called "black pudding" by the locals, although he didn't know what they thought, but this strange thing always had some strange names that didn't match, and it was understandable.
And Moston's target is a large piece of yellow-walled ape crystals from another auction house.
The longest lifespan of this fierce beast is 10,000 years, and it is still a rare existence.
And this piece of Huangbi crystal is produced from a 100,000-year-old Huangbi power ape, so the prince has a strong interest in the comparison.
You must know that the small bit of yellow wall crystal he added to the black powder is only about fifty years, even if it is Mo Lian to induce residual breath, knocking it off from him, it is better than the quality of the yellow wall crystal originally used by the prince, and the yellow wall crystal of that quality can produce such great power, if the whole 100,000-year-old yellow wall crystal is put in, the effect is unimaginable.
Although the prince and the arquebus had learned about the original power of the arquebus, but that scene still did not bring a big visual impact to the arquebus, although the material accounted for a large part of the reason, but the yellow wall crystal in the black powder obviously had a great use, and the arquebus was originally limited to a range of 100 meters, and under the huge impact, the projectile was pushed out about 300 meters, you must know that the lead bullet is lighter and easy to float, fortunately, the projectile at that time was also mixed with other things, otherwise I am afraid that the projectile will be broken first。
Among them, two sections of 2mm thick metal plate armor were also pierced, and this yellow wall crystal definitely accounted for a very important reason.
Of course, Naodo still has lingering feelings about the scene at that time, and if the metal used to make the chamber of the gun can't withstand the huge impact and explodes in his hand, the consequences can still cause a cold sweat now.
