Chapter Seventy-Three: Crazy Invitations
Soon, the news that the Paris auction will be held tonight will be spilled across the city.
As soon as the news spread, countless mercenaries and civilians sharpened their knives and tried their best to get an invitation.
Of course, the aristocracy doesn't care at all, after all, as a nobleman, the Barris auction will definitely take the initiative to send invitations, which is also the prerogative of the aristocratic class. The stronger mercenary groups will also get an invitation, while the rest of the scattered mercenaries or mercenary groups with insufficient strength will not be so lucky.
Inside a tavern in Barristown.
At a huge round table, a big man sat together, about twenty or thirty people, one of them held a wine glass and chewed ham in his mouth, and said: "Head Ka Qu, I heard that the Barris auction will be held tonight, should we find a way to buy an invitation." ”
Sitting on the main seat, one of them had his shoulders exposed, his head was bare, his eyes were red, and he was drinking wine and eating meat, and said: "Of course, there are potions that can make up for dark injuries in the Nabalis auction, and there are alchemical weapons that are sought after by countless knights. ”
"Alchemical magic weapons. The younger brothers around cheered. For mercenaries who are out and about, dancing on the sharp knives of life and death, nothing improves their chances of survival like alchemical weapons.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and get the invitation to the Barris auction. "Ka retreated.
In a small estate.
A young man of about ten years old was practicing his marksmanship, his expression was focused, and he was very serious with one stab and one pick.
A burly man with a big bald head walked up to the boy and shouted excitedly: "Snow Eagle, look what this is." A golden glow fluttered on the big bald hand.
The young man stopped, turned his head, looked at the gold on the big bald hand, and wondered, "Father, what is this?"
"This is an invitation to the Balice auction. The bald head smiled. "I heard that this Barriss auction has a potion to repair the foundation and repair the wounds. ”
"What, a potion to mend the foundations, to repair wounds. Snow Hawk's eyes discharged. Looking up at his father, his eyes were full of hope and expectation, and he said, "Father, is this true?"
"Of course it's true. The power of magic is incomparably magical, just by simply mixing some herbs, and then through magical means, you can refine bottles of wonderful potions. The bald head sighed.
Magic is vast and profound, and has a long history. Different magic combinations will form new magic, nothing is impossible in the world of magic, and the world of fighting spirit is relatively poor, although it is almost the same when it reaches the high level, but magic can refine all kinds of alchemy magic weapons, all kinds of precious potions with different effects, which is far from being comparable to knights.
"Father, that's great. Snow Eagle's face was full of excitement and joy.
"yes!" said the bald smile. He was old and had a son, and he finally had such a son in his fifties, and he loved him, and his son did not disappoint him, he had good talents, and he was hard-working. It's just that when I was a child, I was too anxious, and I encountered backlash when I was cultivating my fighting spirit, and now I can't become a trainee knight, and my body still has various problems from time to time.
..
The person in charge of the Barris auction is very shrewd, and every time at the beginning of the auction, he will swear to publicize it, so as to attract more people to the auction, and at the same time, in addition to sending invitations to the major nobles and powerful mercenary groups, he will set aside a thousand invitations a month, and sell these thousand invitations to those mercenaries who have not obtained them, or merchants to make huge profits.
And every invitation is often hyped up to a sky-high price, and it turns out that Barris Auctions is very clever in marketing, often making a fortune before the auction is officially held.
In front of a grocery store set up by the Barris auction, the queue formed a long queue that stretched for nearly a kilometer, which was even more fierce than that of a grocery shopping aunt. Most of the people in the queue were dressed as mercenaries, and their eyes were looking longingly at the grocery store.
And around the entrance of the grocery store, dozens of guards gathered to maintain law and order, and the aura on each guard was no less than that of a second-level knight, and the commander of them reached the level of a third-level knight, worthy of the Barris auction, and the strength can be seen.
Jace was ecstatic, and it was his turn to have one more.
The big man in front of him bought the invitation and left ecstatically, and Jace was about to step forward.
At this moment, the steward walked out of the door of the grocery store and shouted to the crowd, "All invitations are sold out." ”
Hearing this, Jace, who was at the front of the line, was dumbfounded, and then, angry.
"How can this be. ”
The whole team also boiled, and countless people talked and shouted.
"Aren't there a thousand invitations!"
"Liar!"
The steward looked down at the group of people and said lightly: "Okay, the invitation is sold out, everyone please come back"
The guards waved their spears, the tips of which glistened in the sunlight.
The group of people shouting outside shrank their heads, and the discussion gradually calmed down, and they also knew that when the invitations were sold out, they would be sold out, and there could be no more, unless they were nobles.
And the people who had bought the invitation and had not gone far, or those who stayed here, were quickly surrounded by more than a dozen people, and the group of people shouted: "300 gold coins, I will give 300 gold coins, sell me one." !”
"330 gold coins, sell me one!"
"I'll give you 400 gold coins!!"
"450 gold, sell one!!"
..
Countless people have started buying and selling there, haggling with each other in an attempt to buy them again from the people who bought the invitations.
And some people don't go to the auction at all, but sell invitations in this way to earn gold coins. There was a merchant who bought three invitations, and as soon as he changed hands, he directly earned nearly a thousand gold coins. Of course, there are always a few people like these, and many more people leave in a hurry after buying the invitation.
The last batch of invitations that had just been sold in the grocery store was sold out, and another market formed at the door, and the group of civilians, the merchants, began to resell the invitations.
"It's good that I'm a nobleman. Sitting on top of a hotel-like Tianhua Tower, Han Feng looked at all this. Quite emotional.
Countless civilians, merchants, and mercenaries in Balice City are all playing games around the invitation. Because that invitation can enter the Barris auction, you can get all kinds of precious resources. Even if it is a nobleman, he is very hot for the treasure of the auction.
After Han Feng returned to Governor Renault's mansion, a staff member soon sent an invitation over, and after Han Feng accepted the invitation, he refined some small things in the room and handed them over to the auction to see if they could be sold at a good price at the auction, so as to prepare some funds for this auction.
