Chapter 310: Cunning Martin

After a bunch of witticisms, and seeing that the atmosphere was thick, Martin took out the first lot - the anti-beauty potion appointed by the Pharmacy Association to be the exclusive agent of the St. Petersburg auction house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This potion can slow down the aging of the face for nearly a hundred years after taking it, and it is quite tempting even for long-lived magicians - especially female magicians.

The reason why Christina, the head of the Middle Courtyard whose whereabouts are unknown, can still maintain the image of a beautiful young woman at the age of several hundred is because of the efficacy of this potion.

The anti-aging elixir is extremely rare because it uses a very rare medicinal material, so the output is extremely low, and the auction house only sells one every few years. The appearance of such a potion at the first silent auction shows the importance that Martin attaches to this auction.

After introducing the potion, Martin announced the starting price - ten amethysts, and officially activated the silence circle.

Suddenly, the entire auction hall seemed to sink into the deep sea, and all the sounds disappeared, leaving only the irrepressible expressions of amazement on the faces of more than a hundred people.

Looking at this shocked atmosphere, Martin was also intoxicated.

He had reason to be so intoxicated - as long as nothing else, all the only seven forbidden magic circles in the world had already fallen into the St. Petersburg auction house, and all of this was due to his Martin.

It wasn't until he recovered from his intoxication that he noticed that someone was already holding up a blue sign in the audience.

It was Donner who was holding the sign - everyone but him was still immersed in an unusually silent silence and didn't react.

Martin pointed to Donner, who was looking at him with a smile, nodded heavily, and wrote the words Amethyst Eleven on the wooden board beside him.

Then, presumably considering that it would take time for everyone to get used to it, Martin didn't start raising his hand, but kept looking around, waiting for someone to raise his sign.

As he expected, it didn't take long for people to start bidding.

At the price of thirty amethysts, Donner dropped out of the competition.

In the end, this bottle of anti-aging elixir was auctioned for a high price of one hundred and three amethysts. This price is one-third higher than the highest price ever sold for anti-aging elixirs in previous years.

After raising his hand five times, Martin drew a circle around the words "Amethyst One Zero Three" on the wooden board, and then extinguished the silence circle.

What followed was a lot of commotion.

Surprisingly and reasonably, no one is talking about the high price that has just been born.

Everyone was exclaiming, admiring the magic of this silence circle.

Although all the guests who participated in this auction had heard the story of "don't be so long-winded" in advance. But 10,000 words can't compare to the shock brought by personal experience.

Even Cross, who was always calm and elegant, turned his head to look at Donner, shaking his head with a look of admiration.

Then someone began to shout:

"Martin, when is there going to be an auction for this forbidden circle?"

"That's right, I'll pay 1,000 amethyst to buy this magic circle!"

"Morse, don't be kidding, can you get a thousand amethyst?"

"Why can't I get it! As long as Martin auctions this magic circle, I will be the first to get a thousand amethyst!"

......

Donner glanced at Martin, shook his head and smiled. It seems that he himself still underestimated the value of this magic circle.

Martin seemed to understand what he meant, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he immediately returned to normal.

I saw him say loudly: "About this forbidden word circle......"

Since he was in the middle of the hall, the sound emanating from there, reflected from the circular vault, became so loud that it at once drowned out all the noise.

When the guests saw him talk about the forbidden circle, they also kept silent, waiting for him to continue.

“...... Regarding this forbidden circle," Martin said with a smile: "We, the St. Petersburg Auction House, are discussing the representation with Master John Smith, and the results should come out soon...... Now I can only announce two things: First, this forbidden circle is extremely difficult to make, and Young Master John will definitely not make a large number of them, and it is expected that there will be no more than ten in the future......"

When Martin said this, he turned to Donner and asked, "Master John, am I right?"

For a moment, Donner only felt that everyone's eyes had shifted to him.

This guy, don't forget to let me help him hype it up at this time......

Although Donner was slightly dissatisfied with Martin's approach, he nodded cooperatively: "Yes...... There will be no more than ten. ”

Martin waited for the noise to subside for a moment before continuing: "There is a second thing, the two finale lots of this auction are also the magical works of Master John, and before the silence circle will not enter the market for the time being, you may wish to leave your attention to those two works......

Halfway through his speech, he deliberately made an exaggerated gesture of covering his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Oh...... I can't say any more, otherwise it would be too bad for the other lots......"

Donner smiled and nodded knowingly at Martin.

This guy is very good at being a man.

He deliberately did not say that the auction house had obtained the silence circle, of course, to ensure that the two paintings in the finale would be sold at a high price.

In this respect, Martin is a good businessman - he will try to maximize his interests, but he will also take into account Donner's feelings.

In fact, he's more meticulous than Donner thinks.

As soon as he drew people's interest to the two finale lots, he immediately took out the few beast cores that Donner was determined to obtain.

At this time, not many people were still interested in any beast cores, so Donner picked up a leak and packaged and photographed five ninth-level beast cores and two tenth-level beast cores at a low price of seventy-one amethyst.

For the customers who entrusted the auction of these beast cores, although they knew that Martin was giving gifts, they had nothing to say, so they could only suffer a dark loss.

When the second lot was settled, Martin changed his tone again, laughing and complaining that the bids were too low.

As he spoke, he took out a third lot, a ninth-level magic wand made in front of the late magic array master Mario Sose.

It can be seen that Martin has used a lot of brains and done a lot of homework for this auction.

He had to set off the gimmick of the silent auction and elevate the tone of the silence circle, but he also had to consider Donner's request to use the two paintings he provided as the finale.

Therefore, in order to make the whole auction look special and not overpower the two paintings, the other lots he arranged have one characteristic: they are not of high practical value, but they are extremely rare.

The same is true of the anti-beauty elixir, the same is true of Master Mario's posthumous work, and even the few beast cores that were photographed by Donner, one of which is a level 10 beast core taken from an extinct wood-based demonic beast, which was only lightly brushed aside by Martin.

And, after Martin's clever move, the price has risen from the third lot onwards.

After more than an hour, it was finally Wesley's turn to paint two of his paintings.
