Chapter 270: Auction
readx;
"Auction?" As soon as Alice heard that there was an auction, she immediately became excited, and said, "Brother, I'm going to see it, my grandfather took me to see it last time, so the auction is interesting." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I'm also a little moved, and speaking of which, I haven't really seen what the auction is like. When I was in the Ottoid Empire, although I used to go to the auction house, I only went to identify the items, and the real auction was really unseen.
Seeing that I nodded in agreement, Alice didn't care about looking at the items on the stalls around her, so she directly picked me up and ran towards the auction house in front. It was the bad luck of those vendors who provoked them, but it turned out that Alice always picked something along the way, and she didn't even ask about the price, they saw it in their eyes, and they were naturally full of expectations, waiting for the fat sheep to come to the door, but they didn't want us to skip it. It's like when you go to line up to buy a ticket, and when it's your turn, you suddenly find that the ticket is gone, and the depression is naturally gone.
The so-called auction hall is a hall of thousands of square meters, with a small round table in front of it, and a number of VIP rooms facing the auction table on the second and third floors. Whether it is the scale or the grade, it is really too far from the auction house in Ostrie. I was very disappointed with that.
"This is just the auction house on Mika Street, in fact, the really famous auction house in ancient Kasia is on the street we went to last time, and Esmisa Auction House can definitely rank in the top five even if it is on the mainland. It's just that it only takes half a year to conduct a large-scale auction. Filia explained.
I was relieved that it would be unsatisfactory if the auction house in ancient Cassia really had this size.
By the time we entered the auction room, the auction had already begun. I looked at the auction catalogue that had been delivered to me, and there were so many types of things on it, but the only ones that were really good were the ones at the end. I knew I should have come back in another hour or two.
For a little more gold, we were able to easily get a VIP room. The small room is very similar to the KTV private room on the earth, with a long sofa, a coffee table, some melons and fruits on the coffee table, and an auctioneer with faint magic fluctuations, as long as the price is entered, it can be displayed on the auction table by pressing the button directly. Facing the direction of the auction table, a large window is opened, through which you can clearly see the action on the auction table.
The auction was presided over by a blonde man in his forties, who was very good at mobilizing the atmosphere of everyone in the audience, and it was not the first time that he wanted to preside over such an auction. The auction item that is being auctioned at this time is a fairly good set of knight's armor, which is said to be the work of a dwarven craftsman. The dwarves believed in the god of craftsmanship, and their fanatical pursuit of blacksmithing skills made their creations synonymous with fine products.
However, even if this armor is really made by dwarves, it will be of no use to us. So, I didn't plan to participate in this auction at all. But she didn't want to, the naughty Alice didn't care whether this thing was useful or not, so she directly slapped a thousand gold coins.
"Alice, don't mess around, it's useless for you to buy this!" Philia reproached.
"Hmph, I don't want to buy it! My grandfather taught me that as long as I press it once or twice and stop, there will definitely be no problem, I just press it for fun. Alice said triumphantly. Sure enough, the price of the armor climbed all the way until it reached 1,800 before it was sold. Compared to her 1,000 coins, the gap is huge.
Philia was speechless for a while, and then muttered, "Dad is really, how can I teach you to play this?"
I smiled and said, "This game is good, everyone can try it, anyway, it's idle now." ”
Filia gave me a strange look, and said, "It's okay for Alice to mess around, you can accompany her to mess around, and she will become more and more pampered and lawless if she continues like this." ”
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Alice is smart, she has her own measure." ”
When Alice heard my compliment, she immediately jumped into my arms with joy and kissed me on the face, forgetting all about the "big bad guy and big pervert".
Filia was speechless.
Xue Lan had already looked at me unpleasantly, but now she saw me and Phia looking intimate, and whispered: "Sister Melina, is Sister Phia also the wife of the stinky boy?"
Melina smiled, "That's right, Sister Filia, Sister Qinsi, like me, are Xiaotian's wives. ”
"But, how is this possible?" Xue Lan was speechless in surprise. Melina's sudden marriage is already a strange thing, not to mention still serving with her, and the strangest thing is that there is actually an elf. The combination of elves and humans is the most classic love myth on the continent!
Melina naturally understood why she was so surprised, but she only smiled and said nothing.
The auction was still in full swing, and although there was nothing good to look at, Alice and I were really addicted to making offers. When I was on Earth in the past, I heard that when I was auctioning, there would be some sellers looking for an offer. Raise the price at the time of auction, and if the price is not satisfactory to the seller, even waste a sum of auction money to buy the lot back. Come to think of it, what we are doing now is raising prices in disguise.
The further back you go, the better the things you will auction. At this time, the auction is already a set of extremely beautifully crafted magic jewelry, a total of five suits, including hairpins, chains, rings, bracelets and a delicate brooch, in addition to the beautiful shape, there are also additional defensive capabilities, although it can only resist the attack of magic below level 5 or the level of the Great Swordsman. Such a set of jewelry is already considered to be at the upper middle level. The jewellery I make with my own hands can outperform them in terms of defensive effects and individual shapes, but the overall harmony and perfect combination make them even better.
"Which of you wants?" I asked the women around me with a smile after carefully inspecting the workmanship of the entire set of jewelry.
Philia shook her head first and chuckled, "Don't be lazy, we only wear jewelry made by you." Jeans and Melina nodded in agreement.
I laughed and said, "I didn't say I wanted to buy this set and give it to you, but I wanted to build it myself, so I asked you who wanted it." ”
When I said this, they immediately became interested and began to carefully examine the jewelry on the stage. It's just that when they found out that it was a set, the girls reluctantly looked at a few pieces on their bodies, and after a long time, they shook their heads together and said, "Don't." ”
Xue Lan said curiously: "Why does it stink... Does my brother-in-law know how to make magic jewelry? Is he a jeweler?" Seeing Melina's round apricot eyes, she had to change her words temporarily.
Melina said funny: "I really thought you knew Xiaotian! Xiao Tian is now an honorary tutor of Xiya Academy, didn't Dean Trins tell you?"
Xue Lan suddenly said: "No wonder I can't find him on the list of students in the academy, it turns out that he is already the tutor of the academy!" I was taken aback, I didn't have to think about it to know that there must be nothing good for her to find me.
Melina said funny: "What are you looking for our Xiaotian?"
Xue Lan glanced at me hatefully and said, "It's nothing, I just want to know who is so arrogant." ”
I shook my head secretly, sure enough, it was only a woman and a villain who was difficult to raise, and last time she was so arrogant and rude, but now she said it as if I gave her a sigh of relief. It seems that there is only one way to stay away.
In this auction, I really wanted very little things, but I had a nice two-handed heavy sword and a little interest. Although Roger's one is okay, it has been used for so many years and has long been unusable. Besides, the heavy sword has no edge, and his sword is really not practical.
The two-handed sword I fancy is said to be a masterpiece made by dwarven craftsmen, and it is very good in terms of materials, made of fine black iron with a small amount of magic crystals and other materials. This alone is two levels higher than what Roger is using now. Although it is not an artifact, it is already the best of the two-handed swords. Moreover, both the shape and the length are similar to what Roger is using now, so it is absolutely appropriate for him to use it.
However, this sword is obviously also extremely popular, and the auctioneer has just announced the start of the auction, and the price has begun to climb rapidly, and in an instant, it has exceeded 10,000 gold coins.
Seeing that the price was still rising, I said to Alice, "How is it?
Alice said excitedly: "Okay, okay, how much will you report this time?"
I smiled and said, "Just report 50,000!"
Phia was surprised and said, "However, now that it is not even 20,000, why do you directly report 50,000?" Seeing that sword, she already understood that I wanted to buy it. But such an offer really scared her. Although she doesn't care about this money, she can't spend it like this, right? It's just that Alice didn't even have time to listen to what she said, and she had already pressed the button early.
The auctioneer was obviously taken aback, and said, "Fifty thousand!" As soon as the words fell, the audience exclaimed. You know, more than doubling the price is definitely a very rare thing here.
"The price of VIP room No. 8 is 50,000, is there a higher price?" said the auctioneer loudly. For auctioneers, meeting such customers is the happiest thing for them.
"Is there any offer? No, well, 50,000 for the first time...... Fifty thousand second ...... 50,000 Third ...... Okay, deal. The auctioneer slammed the table with the hammer in his hand. "Congratulations to VIP Room 8 for winning this sword. ”
