Chapter 143: The Auction (3)
"Many people may not know what the Archibald Stone does, and I would like to explain it to you at this time. The Archibald Stone, also known as the Sorcerer's Stone, is something that almost every mage dreams of. It has the effect of storing energy, and it can also be embedded in the magic wand to increase the power of the magic wand, so it is far more precious to the mage than any other rare treasure. And today, the stone that our auction house is auctioning is just such a treasure. ”
After Novis finished speaking, a person sitting in the back row immediately stood up: "Miss Novis, I want to ask, what is the effect of this Ah What Stone is for us ordinary people?"
After hearing this, the attention of the others also hit Novis.
"Heh, I don't know what it can do for ordinary people. But I think at least a little bit that such a beautiful stone is also a beautiful decoration in the house. As soon as Novis's words fell, he immediately felt that the people in the audience had lost interest in this auction item, and although they had money, they would not spend a lot of money on something that was useless in the slightest.
"Of course, you can also keep it as a collection and make friends with magicians or people who can use it. I think the people who can actually use these things are the people you've always wanted to make friends with but couldn't be. ”
Novis's later words aroused the interest of the merchants. As Novis said, it would be nice to be able to make friends with a mage with this thing. Quite a few people touched the money in their pockets. Weigh the pros and cons between the two.
"I've said everything I have to say. Now, let's start the auction of the last lot of the day, the Archibald Stone. The minimum price is 1,000 gold coins. ”
After Novis finished speaking. The scene immediately fell into a brief discussion. Soon, a wealthy businessman sitting in the back row raised his hand: "One thousand one hundred gold coins." ”
"Thirteen hundred gold coins. ”
"Fifteen hundred gold coins. ”
......
Soon the auction price had exceeded 20,000 gold coins.
"Boss, are you going to bid?" Cameron asked Aaron.
"Why don't you shoot something so good? But don't worry, wait and see. Aaron's eyes narrowed.
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins, do you have anything to follow?" asked Novis.
This price is already very high in Tanya, because it is not an item that ordinary people can use, and it is not even useful to show off. For a magician who may not be possible to befriend at all. Spending tens of thousands of gold coins is indeed a bit more than worth the loss. For merchants, tens of thousands of gold coins are likely to turn into hundreds of thousands in a few years. Or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
"What should I do? Lorraine hasn't been involved in the auction yet. If this continues, our plans will fail. Garson asked Grant anxiously.
"It doesn't matter, trust me, Razor will definitely make a move. Grant smiled faintly. Garson was seen looking at him with a puzzled look. Grant continued, "There's no benefit to bidding too early. If someone had shouted the price of 20,000 at the beginning, it is estimated that the price of the Archibald Stone would not be so high now. Razor was waiting for a price he could accept. ”
After Novis shouted "25,000 gold coins" twice, one of the men raised his hand, and the price suddenly soared to 28,000 gold coins.
There was a sudden silence.
A stone was auctioned for 30,000 gold coins, and many people chose to give up, because they knew that if they continued to auction, they would definitely do something irrational.
"Twenty-eight thousand for the second time. ”
Novis is still quite satisfied with the price. At least she didn't lose money in preparation for this auction. But Novis raised the gavel and held it high above her head. As he was about to end today's auction, Aaron suddenly called out the price.
"Forty thousand gold coins. ”
Aaron's words were like a pebble falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Who is that kid, how can you spend so much money on such a worthless thing?"
"What do you know? Do you see the girl next to him? Little bird is human, I also want to show my charm, what is a mere 40,000 gold coins?"
"Haha, this kid will definitely regret it, I can find a dozen of these girls with a single gold coin, and can serve me comfortably. ”
"You know what? Wildflowers are better than house flowers. ”
Novis was also taken aback by Aaron, thinking that this little master was just coming to take a look, but she didn't expect to really shoot something. She asked three more times about the price, but no one raised her hand to increase it.
The gavel fell, the crisp sound echoed through the auction, and Aaron received the Archibald Stone for 40,000 gold coins. Lorraine jumped up excitedly and put her arms around Aaron's neck at once, her lips imprinted fiercely on Aaron's lips.
Aaron's mind went blank suddenly, and his whole person was like a stone fixed to the table.
"Boss, sister-in-law...... You guys...... It's too bold, isn't it?" Cameron surprised.
Aaron turned his head angrily and said, "Get out." ”
"Damn, you are so affectionate in front of me...... I've decided, I'm going to kill them, kill, kill!kill!" Garson roared under his breath, clenching his fists.
"Don't worry, tomorrow she will be yours. Grant reminded softly in Garson's ear.
"I'm waiting for tomorrow. Garson smiled with difficulty, but quickly disappeared again.
The Archibald Stone was the last thing to sell, and when Aaron photographed it, he followed Novis backstage with Lorraine.
"It's 28,000 gold coins. Novis smiled sweetly at the sight of Aaron and Lorraine.
"It's not expensive, but I hope there won't be any more surprises. ”
Although Aaron didn't say it, Novis still knew that Aaron was talking about dwarves.
"It shouldn't be this time, I've personally checked it several times, and there must be no problem. Novis swore to Aaron.
"I hope so. ”
It is impossible for Aaron to take out all the hundreds of gold coins on his body with so many gold coins, and then Cameron was called, Cameron took out 20,000 gold coins, counting the gold coins on Lorraine's body, there is still a difference of six or seven thousand gold coins. So Aaron decided to be Novis's filmmaker and a staff member would follow him back and make up the rest of the money.
Novis nodded in agreement, and ordered her staff to pack the Archibald Stone and give it to Aaron.
