Chapter 12 Auctions
Before the sun went down, the group came to the location of Alice's Restaurant, looking at an independent courtyard in front of them, Katis secretly sighed that its strength was so strong, and she could still get a quiet courtyard in the main city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Standing outside the courtyard, you can see many lush trees emerging from the wall, there are two beautiful sea girls at the entrance of the courtyard to welcome guests, and when you walk inside, you can see a luxurious restaurant located in the middle of the courtyard, and many people are resting under the trees in the courtyard.
Although the outside was already shrouded in a faint night, the restaurant was brightly lit, and there were not brightly dressed people entering and leaving.
As soon as Yueji and the others entered the courtyard, they saw the guard who was with the young city lord this morning, looking anxiously towards the gate of the courtyard from time to time.
When he saw Fei'er and Katis, he immediately greeted him with a smirk on his face, "Two beautiful young ladies, you are finally here, our young master has been waiting for a long time, let's go in quickly, by the way, you can just call me Selik." β
After speaking, he glanced at the moon mark and said to Fei'er, "This is your brother! So he took them to the restaurant.
The decoration in the restaurant is not as splendid as other hotels, the decoration in the restaurant is fresh and simple, and it gives people a sense of relaxation inside, and it can be seen that the owner of the restaurant knows how to run a business.
Seeing that they didn't seem to have been here, Selik introduced the restaurant as he walked, and learned from him that Alice's Restaurant was the largest restaurant in Sea Dragon City, opened by the Alice family, and everyone who could eat here was a person with status.
Selik took them to a room on the second floor, there were a few guards standing at the door, Selik just brought them to the door, before he knocked on the door, the door opened from the inside, it was the young city lord Amos, he was already impatient to wait, since he saw Fei'er this morning, he was in his spirit, originally wanted to come directly to Fei'er, but today his father, that is, the city lord Angelo Weiss talked to him about the auction for an afternoon, although he was very arrogant outside, but in front of his father Weiss was a good baby, Weiss said that he had some things, he couldn't go to the auction, let Amos buy some things on his behalf, as soon as Weiss finished speaking, he took people to the restaurant to waitγ
As soon as he heard Selik's voice outside the door, he immediately opened the door and saw the silver-haired girl who lingered in his mind, Katis led Phil into the room, Moonmark followed, and Selik went to call for someone to serve food.
Amos graciously pulled out the chair for Phil, but Phil came to Moonmark and sat down between Moonmark and Katis by herself, Amos smiled awkwardly, sat down casually, looked at Moonmark and asked, "This is?"
Before Moonmark could speak, Katis hurriedly replied, "He's Fei'er's brother." When Amos heard this, he made an expression that was exactly what he was, "No wonder it looks so similar." β
Amos wanted to talk to Phil very earnestly, but Phil didn't pay much attention to him, only Katis said a few words to him from time to time.
After a while, the dishes were served, and they all looked hearty and delicious, and when they were finished, Selik stepped back and closed the door gently.
Seeing Selik withdraw, Katis smiled and said to Amos, "Would you please do me a favor?"
When Amos heard this, he glanced at Fei'er, and said very arrogantly: "No problem, there is nothing I can't do in Sea Dragon City, what is the matter?"
"It's just..."
With a muffled snort, Amos fell to the table, and Moonmark withdrew his hand and whispered, "Stop playing, we need to hurry, the auction is about to start." β
Moonmark came to the window and opened it, beckoning downward, and then a black figure jumped up...
Outside the door, Selik heard some voices in the room, knocked on the door and asked, "Lord Amos, is there something wrong?"
For a while, there was no movement, and just as Selik was about to push the door in, a somewhat hoarse voice came from inside the room, "No... You go to the checkout, and we'll go to the auction right away. β
"Ah...... Okay right away. Selik thought he had forgotten about it, because the auction was about to start.
As soon as Selik finished settling the account, he saw Amos wearing a black cloak, and went downstairs with Fei'er and a few other people and the guards.
Under the cloak, Amos scolded, "What nonsense, go!"
"Get out of the way! get out of the way!" a carriage, protected by the guards, sped away towards the Shodros auction house......
At this time, there were many carriages parked outside the Xiudelos Auction House, although there were many people, but everything was in order, people lined up to hand over invitations, and they were allowed to enter, and the people who could participate in the auction were all people with status recognized by the Xiudelos Auction House, and the symbol was to see if you could receive the invitation.
After getting out of the carriage, Selik finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and said, "Young Master, you are dashing, handsome and dignified, as the most handsome person in Sea Dragon City, why do you want to wear a cloak?"
When Amos under the cloak heard this, he kicked Selik and said angrily, "Who said I was the most handsome in Sea Dragon City? Actually... The most handsome person is someone else, and I sigh to myself for his beautiful hair..."
Then he emphasized, "And I wear a cloak to keep a low profile!
After hearing this, Phil and Katis covered their mouths and snickered, "Okay... Let's go..."
Selik was depressed, this young master will also be low-key? Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask.
Because Amos was a young city lord, he could bring his personal retinue in, but the guards had to stay outside and wait.
Because Amos's invitation was given to him by his father, there was VIP access.
Guided by a welcoming man at the auction, the group arrived in a luxurious room on the second floor, where the seats were made of precious sea animal furs, and there was a quotation table next to the seats, on which some special fruits were prepared.
At the front of the room, there is a large and heavy glass that isolates the noise of the venue, and through the glass, you can clearly see the fan-shaped staircase hall and the auction table. Selik pressed on the console, and the room resounded with the noise of the venue.
At this time, the venue was already full of people, and a bewitching sea beauty walked onto the auction table.
A pleasant voice resounded through the amplification magic array on the auction table.
"Welcome to the first auction of this year, I am the auctioneer of this auction - Medea, everyone here can participate in this auction, it is a great support for our Xiudelos Auction House, here, on behalf of Xiudelos Auction House Sea Dragon City Branch, thank you!" After speaking, he bowed politely to the audience.
The venue gradually fell silent.
"The auction items have just arrived today, and they have been appraised by several special appraisers in our headquarters, so you can bid with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about defective products and fakes. β
After Medea finished speaking, a sea girl came to the stage with a beautiful wooden box and slowly opened it, inside was a delicate bracelet with fine lines engraved on it.
Medea introduced, "This is a lower-rank artifact, forged by the god-level caster of the Forest Realm, Master Arvis, and engraved with three Heavenly Rank Defense Magic Arrays, which are conservatively estimated to withstand the powerful blows of three Heavenly Rank powerhouses and the blows of the First-Order Holy Emperor." β
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a commotion, the strongest person in Sea Dragon City is the chief butler of the City Lord's Mansion - Mobius, and he is only in the heavens, and having this bracelet means that you can save your life under the attack of the Holy Emperor, although it is only the first order of the Holy Emperor, but the Holy Emperor is also a number of existences in the entire Seagod Realm, you can't just run into it, and offend it, anyway, many people are moved.
"Looking at everyone's appearance, I must be very satisfied with this bracelet, this bracelet is priced at a low price of 200,000 god coins, and each increase must not be less than 2,000 god coins, please quote. β
Hearing this price, many people were discouraged, but for a real big family, the god coin is nothing, and life is the most important thing.
The whole venue was quiet, but the quotations displayed on the huge crystal screen behind the auction table kept jumping, and it was a silent battle, and finally, the quotations on the crystal screen stopped.
"Okay, now No. 125 is quoted at 515,000 god coins, is there anyone else quoting? I'll count three times, if not, this artifact bracelet is No. 125. β
β1...β
β2...β
β3...β
"Well, congratulations on number 125, you have successfully auctioned this precious bracelet!" Medea said with a smile again, "Of course, I hope you will never use it in the future." Hearing Medea's witty words, the whole room burst into a low laugh. And No. 125 stood up, a middle-aged Sea Clan, smiling and nodding to Medea.
The room where Moonmark and the others were...
Katis was secretly thinking at this time, the first auction item was so expensive, and the rest was unimaginable, but looking at Amos under the cloak, Katis secretly said, fortunately, she was smart, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The second auction item is a white egg, the shell is already cracked, the Xiaoice dragon seems to be about to break out of the shell, placed in an ice box, and constantly bubbling white cold.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Medea smiled and introduced, "This is an ice dragon egg, which was acquired by our auction house from the ice realm, as we all know, the ice dragon not only has powerful ice magic, but also has a lot of room for advancement, up to the Holy Rank." This Xiaoice ice dragon will be born in a few days, because the living habits of the ice dragon are only suitable for survival in the ice or sea area, and the Seagod Domain is very suitable for it. β
After listening to Medea's introduction, the venue was boiling, even Katis was moved, pulled the black cloak, and after the commotion, the venue quickly returned to calm, waiting for Medea to report a low price.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Medea quoted the reserve price, "The reserve price is 1 million god coins, and each price increase must not be less than 10,000 god coins, please quote!"
As soon as Medea finished speaking, the crystal screen kept flashing, and after a few minutes, the number of bidders gradually decreased, and there was no one at the venue to quote, and there were still four VIP rooms on the second floor of No. 1, 2, and 9 that were still bidding, and No. 2 was the room where the moon mark and so on were located.
The Xiudelos Auction House ranks the order of VIPs according to their different statuses, which means that in this auction, there are people with a higher status than the city lord of Sea Dragon City.
The quotation has reached 3.42 million god coins, and the 9th is the first to give up. No. 1 doesn't seem to care about the god coins, every time the price is raised, it is 100,000, and now the price is 4.03 million god coins.
In the No. 2 box, Selik looked at the crystal screen of the quotation, and hurriedly persuaded, "Young master, we only brought 10 million divine coins this time, and the things explained by the city lord have not yet appeared, if it is because of this ice dragon egg that uses up so many divine coins, later..."
Amos under the cloak glanced at Katis, who understood what he meant and nodded helplessly. In the end, the ice dragon egg was auctioned for 4.03 million god coins by No. 1.
The latter few auction items were some rare casting materials or high-grade weapons, and they were not much interested in these moon marks, only Selik was at the request of the city lord and auctioned a square gray jade with 400,000 divine coins.
According to Medea, the jade was found from a ruin, and the chief appraiser of the Shodelos Auction House could not see what kind of material it was.
Because it's useless, except for some people who love to collect, few people bid, and no one is willing to bid anymore when the reserve price of 200,000 god coins reaches 400,000.
"Everyone must have heard of the following auction item, we have also auctioned it before, it is the water source stone, but..."Medea did not finish, but opened the box containing the water source stone.
Many people in the venue were amazed when they saw a fist-sized water source stone on the crystal screen.
"You've never seen such a large water source stone!"
Inside the box, it was like a ball of dark blue water wrapped in transparent crystals, and the water was still flowing slowly inside, Katis looked surprised, although she had seen the water source stone in her sister's research room before, it was the first time she had seen such a large water source stone.
"I won't say much about the efficacy of the water source stone, in addition to beautifying the face and prolonging life, it is still one of the few things that can heal the soul scars, the reserve price is 1.5 million god coins, and each increase shall not be less than 20,000 god coins, please quote!"
There were a lot of bidders this time, and when it reached 3.52 million god coins, there were more than 10 people bidding. The quotation speed on the crystal screen has slowed down, and the moon mark estimates that 4 million god coins should be the limit, but the 1st directly reported 5 million god coins, which makes other people who quote backwards.
"Now the price of No. 1 is 5 million god coins, is there anyone else bidding?"
"5,000,000 God Coins 1 time!"
"5,000,000 God Coins 2 times!"
In room No. 2, Amos under the black cloak saw that Selik was not bidding, so he rushed to the quotation table, pushed Selik away, and directly quoted in person. Selik hurriedly said, "Young Master, the city lord said that if the water source stone exceeds 4 million divine coins, don't shoot it." "It's too late, though...
"5,000,000 god coins..."
Before the words were finished, the quotation on the crystal screen slowly moved - "No. 2 6 million god coins"
Seeing the offer of 6 million god coins, Medea said loudly, "No. 2, bid 600 god coins, is there anyone else?"
"6,000,000 God Coins 1 time!"
"6,000,000 god coins 2 times!"
"6 million god coins 3 times! Congratulations to No. 2 for getting the water source stone!"
Medea was very happy, 5 million god coins had exceeded her grandfather's estimate, but she didn't expect to be auctioned for 6 million god coins in the end.
And in the No. 2 VIP room, except for Selik, who has been "petrified", Moon Scar and others are secretly relieved.
