Chapter 2 Auctions
The golden dwarf who came in was none other than Milt, the owner of the auction house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Compared to their close cousins, the Shield Dwarves, the Golden Dwarves are shorter, slightly taller than the waist of the average adult human male, and their skin is slightly browner than that of the Shield Dwarves, with sparse hair and a more neatly groomed appearance.
And unlike the shield dwarves, which are rich in warriors and blacksmiths, the golden dwarves are not only frank warriors, but also shrewd merchants. Their short, stocky bodies contain not only great strength, but also the cunning of merchants.
Not only in Cheltus, but also in the Northern Kingdom, the caravans and auction houses of the Golden Dwarves are almost all over the entire continent, and even the dark regions under the earth have the caravans of the Golden Dwarves.
Legend has it that in the great rift in the middle of the Roland continent, the golden dwarves still retain their own independent kingdom, which is so secretive that only the golden dwarves can enter and exit through some rugged and dangerous secret passages.
Milt is such a pure golden dwarf merchant. He has thick brownish hair with two gold hoops at the back of his head and at his jaw. He has a large, ruddy nose that separates the smiling brown eyes, while almost hiding the mouth below that often emits hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, Dear Master Scott, Milt is delighted to be here with you!"
"I wish you a fruitful harvest in this [carnival] auction!"
As soon as he entered, Milt let out a hearty laugh and stooped down to greet Scott, whose brown eyes had blinked slyly at Scott as he bent down.
"Looks like you've got a lot of good stuff this time!"
Scott looked at Milt with a smile, he had come to Milt's auction house more than once or twice, and every time there was a good auction of goods, Milt would pay him a visit in this way, and give him verbal hints.
Scott actually knew that Milt didn't just make this visit to him, but did the same thing in every private room. And this is where the golden dwarf who named the auction house after himself is clever.
A hearty smile is hard to dislike people, and a polite demeanor closes the distance, while a slight hint further closes the relationship, but secretly makes the VIP in the private room more interested in the auction, which naturally leads to a significant increase in the price of the auction item and a significant increase in the income that the auction house can derive from it.
"Hahaha, the master said he laughed!"
"The auction items at Milt Auction House have always been carefully selected and have an absolute guarantee of quality. ”
"As for whether it is a good product or not, I think every adult has his own unique judgment criteria, and Milt naturally can't make a judgment for the guests. ”
"This is the list of auction items for this time, please take a look at it. ”
"Once again, I wish Master Scott a fruitful harvest, and Milt takes his leave. ”
The sly eyes blinked again, and Milt placed a sixteen-carat parchment book with dozens of pages on the coffee table with both hands, and left the private room with a smile.
"It seems that there will be a lot of rare metals and minerals in this auction, otherwise Milt would not have hinted so obviously. ”
Scott opened the sixteen-page parchment book at random, and sure enough, it was written in common terms with a number of rare metal minerals: black iron, mythril, pure gold, and Thorsilver, and the number of auctions at the Milt auction house.
These are all specialties of the dwarven race, or arguably the specialties of the kingdom of the golden dwarves.
It is because of the existence of his own independent kingdom that Milt has the exclusive right to auction these rare metals buried deep in the underground veins.
That's racial superiority.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Welcome! Welcome to this [carnival] auction! ”
Milt was now standing in the center of the auction stage, shouting out loud to the people of all races off the stage with his trademark hearty laughter. However, for the welcome speech of the golden dwarf, the audience reacted merely.
Then the golden dwarf also wisely stopped speaking, but waved his thick palm, and immediately stepped out from behind the dark green curtain hidden by the stage, and walked out of a row of beautiful figures holding trays and swaying.
"First of all, the first lot, fifty pounds of Mithril ore from the Kingdom of the Golden Dwarves. Identified by the Dwarven Forge Master. The purity of this batch of mineral sands is quite high, close to 10 percent. In other words, you can refine about five pounds of Mithril in total, which is enough to hire a master smith to create a half-length Mithril chain mail!"
"Now start bidding, with a floor price of three thousand Manchez gold coins per unit of ten pounds of Mithril ore. Ladies and gentlemen, please bid!"
Before Milt's words fell, the first Terran girl holding the tray immediately stepped forward, and with a wave of her jade arm, she had removed the green velvet cloth that covered the tray. Immediately, under the reflection of dozens of concentrating crystals attached to the [Luminous Technique] and specially cut on the auction table, the sparkling white sand glowed with silver luster from time to time, just like the most sparkling diamonds piled up on the tray into towering peaks.
"Three thousand Manchez gold coins. I want a unit. ”
"Five thousand manchez gold coins, five units. ”
"Five thousand five hundred manchez gold coins, five units. ”
“。。。。。。 ”
The first auction item at the beginning was such a high-quality product, which immediately aroused the high interest of the bidders in the audience. Immediately, dozens of auction cards were raised, and at the same time, lingua franca with various ethnic accents sounded.
Of course, according to the rules of the auction house, it is natural that the highest bidder wins.
"VIP No. 56, 65,000 Manchez gold coins, deal!"
The fierce bidding lasted about five minutes, and all the fifty pounds of Mithril ore were auctioned by another great nobleman of Cheltus, the Roman family, which was the same name as the Swift family, and each unit was sold for 13,000 gold Manchez coins, which was 10 pounds of Mithril ore, and the total cost was 65,000 gold menches. However, looking at the smile on the face of the Roman family bidder, it is obvious that he did not take the money to heart.
And these 65,000 Manchez gold coins also kicked off the [carnival] auction of the Milt auction house.
"Hahaha, I'm glad that all the guests are so engaged. I, Milt, on behalf of Milt's Auction House, present a pound of silver to the fifty-sixth guest. ”
The auction got off to a good start, and the golden dwarf was in a good mood, and he immediately gave away the prizes in a big way.
Although Thur silver is not as good as Mithril, but it is also a rare metal, his magic resistance is stronger than Mithril, the only regret is that the weight is too large, it is close to the proportion of pure gold, and at the same time there is no Mithril magic guiding properties, only a single anti-magic attribute.
However, such a pound of silver is enough to create a deadly dagger, and in the hands of a high-level assassin, it is enough to easily assassinate a high-level mage.
"Hahaha, next, the second auction item is the latest work of Master Scott von Swift, the hammer wielder of the royal royal forge, the hammer wielder of the dragon slaying weapon [Reaper]!"
"Elite Grade Heavy Sword [Sunrise]!"
With a wave of Milt's heavy hand, five curvaceous maidens holding Mithril ore stepped off the auction table, while another beautiful maiden stepped forward. She held a delicate sword case on both arms, which she opened gracefully in Milt's loud introduction. Immediately, a bright but not dazzling, warm white light lit up from the sword box.
"The heavy sword [Sunshine], the whole body is made of light cast iron, the shape is beautiful, with a bright white shimmer, and the handle is carved with complex fish scale patterns, which makes the grip of the palm more comfortable, and can stimulate the skin of the palm, greatly reducing the amount of sweating, and avoiding the trouble of using too much force and getting rid of the weapon. ”
"On top of that, this [Sunshine] has six high-quality diamonds added to it during the forging process, and the abundant light elements are perfectly fused with the light cast iron to form a subtle internal circulation, thus allowing this heavy sword to activate a weekly level eight spell, [Yang Flame Burst]!"
"The starting price is 30,000 manchez gold coins, and the auction begins!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
The entire auction house immediately went crazy, in the kingdom of Manches, who has not heard of the name of Master Scott?This is the only human race grand forger in the past hundred years other than the dwarf race to obtain the title of great forger, not to mention, the famous legendary warrior Reg Campbell used the xenomorph giant scythe forged by this master [Harvest] to kill the black dragon Mainna, thus becoming a legend.
And that xenomorph scythe [Harvest] is also just a sophisticated-level weapon!
Moreover, the sword body of this excellent level heavy sword [Sun Yao] is completely forged from light cast iron, with its own white light, and beautiful shape, even if it is not used to kill enemies, do not look at the sharpness of the heavy sword itself and the eighth-level spell [Yang Yan Burst] once a month, but when used to wear a display, Pickle Niu is definitely an invincible holy weapon!
"VIP No. 56, 175,000 Manchez gold coins, the third time, sold!"
The arms holding the auction cards rose and fell, and the amount of gold coins offered rose alternately, and in the final auction room, only the display crystal plate of Box 56 had five-digit bright red numbers jumping on it.
Then, Milt's raised right hand fell heavily, and the gavel made a dull sound on the castanets of the auction table, indicating that the fine heavy sword [Sun" had also fallen into the hands of the Russell family.
At the same time, it also means that the huge amount of 175,000 Manchez gold coins, after being auctioned by the Milt auction house with 3 percent of the auction and 1 percent of the kingdom's tax, fell into the pocket of Scott, who was calmly eating snacks in the private room and happily watching the auction proceed.
