Chapter 40: Sky-high prices
Sorry, I overslept......******************************
No matter how talented an alchemy apprentice is, it also takes time to grow, the difficult and obscure alchemy theory, the vast alchemy formula, each of which takes countless hours, and many alchemy apprentices even spend a lifetime, but they can't really step into the door of an alchemist.
It can be said that those who can become alchemists at the age of thirty are rare geniuses.
As for Khadgar, who became a great alchemist at the age of forty, there is only one in all of Stormwind.
But now, a great alchemist who has concocted volcanic potions and ghost potions, and whose strength is infinitely close to that of a master, has been described by Khadgar as "unimaginably young......
Although Khadgar didn't say how young he was, everyone present could guess just by guessing, most of them would not be more than thirty-five years old, otherwise, Khadgar's words would definitely not be so exaggerated.
The Blackhorn Auction House has been rooted in Stormwind for twenty years, and everyone present does not know the character of the chief auctioneer, who has always spoken strictly, and even in the auction, Khadgar will never use exaggerated ways to introduce any auction items.
When Khadgar says that there is no one auction item that is unique, then even if you search the whole of Northrend, you will never find a second one that is the same.
It's the same now......
Khadgar said that this is an unimaginably young great alchemist, so this great alchemist will definitely not be more than thirty-five years old......
Think about it, a great alchemist who is not yet thirty-five years old, and who may step into the ranks of giants at any time.
This crazy possibility directly plunged the venue into a frenzy, everyone was speculating, everyone was talking, and everyone's interest in this future giant was even more than the two alchemy potions themselves.
In just a few minutes, at least seven or eight leaders of the top power called their most trusted and powerful subordinates, and gave various orders in the most unquestionable tone......
In short, before the finale auction began, there was already an earthquake in the entire venue.
"Okay, next, these two bottles of alchemy potions will start at the reserve price of 300,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 30,000 gold coins. ”
Seeing that the effect he wanted had been achieved, Khadgar announced with a satisfied smile that the finale auction had officially begun.
"A million gold coins. As soon as Khadgar's words fell, a voice came from the box on the second floor: "These two bottles of alchemy potion, we want them from the Tower of Ashes." ”
The offer was made by the middle-aged man who had previously competed with Saruman for the spell of annihilation.
The feud between the Tower of Ashes and the Tower of the Sage can be traced back to the distant Third Dynasty, when the two mages in the eastern part of the kingdom were in a constant state of fierce rivalry, fighting for everything they could, resources, talents, knowledge, and equipment, and they would do whatever it took to suppress their opponents.
There was even a large-scale war hundreds of years ago, in which a large number of mages lost their lives, and at the same time planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the living.
Since the Tower of Ashes has been sold, the Tower of the Sage is naturally not far behind.
Although the Annihilation Hell cost 1.4 million gold coins, half of it was borne by Lin Yun, so now, Saruman still has quite enough funds in his hands.
"You said your Tower of Ashes is about to be?" Before Khadgar could speak, Saruman's coughing voice came out of the box: "One million gold coins." ”
Such an obvious provocation was almost slapped in the face, and how could the one in the Tower of Ashes endure it, and he heard a cold snort: a new offer is coming.
"One million and three hundred thousand gold coins. ”
"One million and four thousand gold coins. ”
"One and a half million gold coins. ”
"One million six thousand gold coins. ”
"One million and seven thousand gold coins. ”
..................
The two of them went back and forth like this, and in the blink of an eye, the price was raised to 1.7 million gold coins, and no one else intervened in the middle, there was a huge venue, so many top forces, and no one quoted at this time.
Who in the eastern part of the kingdom doesn't know the Dao, the power of these two great mages has long reached the point of life and death, and now it looks like they are fighting for two bottles of alchemy, but in fact, they are just suppressing each other.
Attacking at this time is tantamount to a battle between the two great mages......
It's not that everyone is really afraid of the power of the two major mages, the people who can sit here today are all big people with a bit of background, and at their level, there is really no one who is afraid of anyone, they pay attention to whether it is worth it or not, if they really have great benefits, even if they are afraid to pee their pants, they will have to go up.
The problem is, it's nowhere near that now......
The ownership of the two bottles of alchemy elixir has not yet been decided, so go up first and offend the power of the two major mages, isn't this full of food......
It's better to wait.
Wait for the two of them to decide the winner before making a move, then the nature is not so serious, no matter how domineering the two mages are, it is impossible to prevent us from participating in the auction, right? Even if we can agree, the Black Horn Auction House can't agree......
So everybody is waiting, waiting for them to decide the winner.
Fortunately, it didn't take long.
When the price reached 1.7 million gold coins, Saruman was a little unbearable at first, there was no way, although Lin Yun shared half of the cost of annihilation hell for him, but in the end, 700,000 gold coins fell on the head of the Sage Tower, which is not a small amount, and then spend one or two million gold coins on two bottles of alchemy potion, the Sage Tower is really a little unbearable.
Of course, if you can't stand it, you can't stand it, and Saruman will definitely not admit defeat.
"Forget it, the Sage Tower is not short of these two bottles of alchemy, so I should take pity on your Tower of Ashes and let it be good for you......"
The middle-aged magician just sneered back......
There is no doubt that this confrontation between the two great mages ended in the victory of the Tower of Ashes......
However, the victory of the Tower of Ashes does not mean that the dust has settled on the auction of the two bottles of alchemy potion, in fact, on the contrary, the real auction may have just begun now.
Sure enough, Saruman had just announced his withdrawal when a new offer immediately appeared.
"One million 8,800,000 gold coins. ”
Lin Yun glanced at it from a distance, this time it was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, tall and with a cold face, carrying a huge sword with a dark body on his back, and a thick bloody aura was emanating from the black sword, there was no doubt that this was a strong man who had experienced countless killings, because only such a strong man could control the murder weapon on his back.
"This is Sas, the leader of the Silver Moon Mercenary Regiment. "The blow of losing to the Tower of Ashes in the auction doesn't seem to be as huge as outsiders imagined, and now Saruman still looks like a smile, and even the sound of coughing hasn't changed much, and when he saw that Lin Yun had some doubts on his face, he also patiently introduced a few words to Lin Yun: "When your father was here before, I had a lot of cooperation with them, and the Silver Moon Mercenary Group is not ordinary rich, look, the Tower of Ashes will soon cry......"
"Two million gold coins. ”
It's hard to say whether the middle-aged magician cried or not, but when he quoted, his voice was obviously a little dry, although the bid just now defeated Saruman, but the Tower of Ashes itself was somewhat unbearable, two million gold coins This is not a small amount, even if the Tower of Ashes is such a top power, it will take a lot of effort to be able to come out.
"Two and a half million gold coins. ”
“......”
Sas's second offer raised the price to two and a half million gold coins, and the Ash Tower hesitated for a long time, as if it wanted to struggle for a while, and quoted another two million gold coins.
But then......
"Three million gold coins. ”
This time, there was no sound in the box of the Tower of Ashes......
No, it's not just the box in the Tower of Ashes......
Now there is no sound in the whole venue, and everyone's eyes are all on Saas, there is shock and confusion in their eyes, no one thought that Sass would quote such an amazing price, this is three million gold coins, and any industry invested in Stormwind City is enough to cause an earthquake in the industry.
That's right, the two bottles of alchemy potion on the auction table can indeed be described as treasures, and it can even be said that they are one of the top auction items in the history of the Black Corner Auction, but no matter how top the treasures are, it's not worth working so hard, right?
Three million gold coins is enough to ask a real master to do it......
If someone else does this, I'm afraid that most of the venue will think that this is a madman, but it is Sass who does this, you must know that Sas's vision is well-known in Stormwind City, and he has almost never made a mistake for more than ten years, including investing in the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, including befriending the Sage Tower, one thing after another, many people may have thought he was crazy at the time, but after looking at it afterwards, he realized how far-sighted the leader of the Silver Moon Mercenary Group was.
Could it be that these two bottles of alchemy potions are like this today?
Thinking of this, the few who had the ability to compete couldn't help but be a little shaken......
But after shaking it, I thought about it again, this was three million gold coins, and I just raised my opponent, and I immediately put it down again......
The price of three million gold coins really scared everyone.
"The Captain of the Silver Moon Mercenary Regiment offered three million gold coins, is there anything higher than three million gold coins?" At this time, Khadgar on the auction table was full of red light, and his heart was as happy as he was, and even his voice was a little louder than usual.
Although the Black Corner Auction House has done a lot of big business in the past few years, it has added hundreds of thousands of gold coins at every turn, and the final transaction has reached 3 million gold coins, and even Khadgar himself has encountered it for the first time.
