Chapter 696: Auction Venue
Swap venues!
Li Shisan teleported from Anyun Hotel to a position of more than 400 kilometers in the direction of Honghai City towards Suhuai City.
Switch to the fossil pterosaur, move at high speed to fill the gear, and fly to Suhuai City.
Li 13 changed his strategy of moving forward.
The Knight Guild was able to intercept it on the road of Honghai City Airport, which means that they have mastered Li Shisan's itinerary to Suhuai City, and there is a high probability that they will be watching at the airport.
Whatever they want, let's go to the auction.
Li Shisan contacted Gu Feng in advance, this auction does not need special care, and the 'Human Face Xiao' crystal nucleus is arranged by the Silk Auction House independently, and it will appear in the most normal order.
As the patron who provided the auction items, the weight of the 'human face ray' was heavy enough, and Li 13 obtained the seat arranged by the auction house for the owner, and there was no need to buy another ticket.
Fossil pterosaurs land outside the city, switching bikes.
Li 13 looked calm, sitting on the seat and looking at his mobile phone, and the bicycle moved forward through his mind, like a transparent chair floating at a low altitude.
To participate in a high-end auction, you don't necessarily need a luxury car, you need a flying spirit weapon, and the cards are enough.
Silk Auction House, one of the original big-name industries under the name of Silk Pavilion, belongs to the high-end treasure luxury industry on weekdays, and will also hold some small-scale auctions.
Famous for the big auctions on weekends.
Li 13 arrived at the small square outside the main entrance of the auction house, and the flow of people was less than usual.
On the afternoon of the big auction, the regular business of the auction house was suspended, and only guests who had purchased tickets at a high price or obtained invitations were allowed to enter after dark.
Luxury cars stopped at the main entrance of the Silk Auction House, or classic or modern formal wear, richly designed dresses, and guests with extraordinary grace.
The atmosphere of the venue makes people involuntarily straighten their backs and pay attention to their words and deeds, for fear of making a fool of themselves in public.
Li 13 walked to the main entrance of the Silk Auction House in casual clothes, and his overall temperament was incompatible with the surrounding fashion and aristocracy.
Will anyone come up and ridicule it?
's classic line 1: Yo, where did the beggar come from, don't look at what kind of place this is? Don't get out of here! Something shitty.
Classic line 2: Oh, you also deserve to have an invitation, say! Where did it steal?!
Then I was scared by the big baby that the protagonist took out.
It turns out that there are not so many rich people who like to mess with each other, Li Shisan groped for invitations from a simple sports backpack, and occasionally someone around looked at this side with curiosity.
Facing Li Shisan's eyes, the other party nodded slightly, and left cleanly, they have a strong purpose, for a certain commodity, it may also be a daily practice of eyesight, and maintain relevant proficiency.
"Mr. Li, the owner of the auction is seated on the second floor."
The main hall of the auction house is designed to resemble a three-story cinema, with the auctioneer presiding over the entire process from a concert-like stage in front of it.
On the first floor, there are rows of seats that are densely placed, which belong to ordinary seats.
The second floor is slightly more high-end, with a whole circle of small seats separated independently, and the bead curtain facing the auction table in front can be retracted and placed.
The third floor belongs to the VIP seats, and there are a few large private rooms, which are either famous family consortia in Suhuai City, or foreign bigwigs.
Li 13 was arranged on the second floor, and it is said that all the proprietors who provided the items would be broken up and randomly distributed in the private seats on the second floor.
"Mr. Li, please come in."
The waiter in a black vest and a white shirt bowed down and stretched out his hand to open the door of the elegant seat for Li Shisan.
There are different models of private rooms on the second floor, Li Shisan came alone, and the Silk Auction House arranged a room for three people.
A full set of tables and chairs are carved from wood, porcelain plates, porcelain bowls are placed with preserved fruits, and the service staff personally brews tea, and the water vapor is curling, which is a bit of a teahouse cubicle.
"Thank you."
"Mr. Li is so polite."
The service staff made tea and withdrew, "We are waiting outside, and we have something to order." ”
"Okay."
Li Shisan tasted the candied fruit, this location is similar to the feeling of the second floor of the theater, directly below the balcony is the ordinary seat, and the distance below the diagonal is the stage.
There was no auctioneer on the table yet, and it was 20 minutes after the auction was left.
On the tea table, there is something that looks like an invitation card, and on it is a list of auction items.
The list of auction items will be open to the public, and a copy will also be given to the guests who have obtained the admission qualification and the owner who provides the auction items.
Li Shisan didn't care much about other things, and he didn't ask for a list after giving the 'Human Face Xiao' crystal nucleus to Gu Feng, and this was the first time he opened it.
The Silk Auction House is mainly engaged in jewelry and jade luxury goods, with antiques and jade accounting for half of the list, and the other half being spiritual weapons, rare medicines, forging materials and other objects.
Interestingly, the order of the lots is not public, the list is sorted by initials, and there are several lots full of question marks that only give black and white silhouettes.
Halfway through the classic Pokemon anime, there will be:
"Who am I?"
- "Pikachu! ”
Silhouette guessing gameplay is also a reason to put in the mysterious auction items of the Silk Auction House, which adds excitement and freshness.
Of the three mysterious auction items, Li Shisan clearly knew that one of them was the 'Human Face Xiao' crystal nucleus.
This thing doesn't appear on the normal public list, and it's horrific enough to deserve its name as a mysterious auction.
In the interval between looking at the list, there was already singing and dancing on the booth, and there were about ten minutes left before the scheduled time, and the auctioneer walked briskly and went to the high platform.
"Good evening, wow, there are a lot of old friends and a lot of new faces."
Li Shisan originally thought that the auctioneer should come up and praise the guests first, and the brilliance and so on, but he didn't expect to speak so down-to-earth, quite a bit of stand-up comedy.
Although the words are straightforward, there is no lack of etiquette, and the clothes worn by the auctioneer are very different from the uniforms of the disciples in the Silk Pavilion, and no one dares to underestimate them in Suhuai City and the surrounding cities.
After expressing gratitude, the auctioneer interacted with the guests and immediately invited the first lot.
The order of the auction items is generally arranged from low to high according to the degree of value and the estimated price, but it is not completely rigid, and it is necessary to take care of the ups and downs of the atmosphere.
For example, the first auction item at the opening, the gimmick must not be low.
The two hostesses were holding a long tray covered with a dark purple cloth, and they could barely make out that it was a rectangular box.
"Look, everybody."
At the opening auction, the auction items were not sold, and the auctioneer unveiled the fabric coolly, causing everyone to stretch their necks.
A quaint long box of more than one meter was placed on the table, and some people had already guessed the objects inside.
Li 13 looked through the list, and there was a sword in the public auction list.
It's really called a sword, a 5-star spiritual weapon, the scabbard is inlaid with gorgeous gems, and the star patterns are embellished with different colors, but it is purely decorative, and it will not add additional attributes and effects to the spiritual weapon.
The auctioneer blew a round solidly and drew his sword on the spot.
The list only shows the sword in its sheath, and the guests are staring intently at the high platform, when the lights of the venue are dimmed, and only the gems inlaid on the sword body emit various colors of light under the soft spotlight...
