Chapter Seventy-Nine: Annual Auction Meeting (Fifth Shift)
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Annual Auction Meeting (Fifth Update)
The next day, early in the morning.
Dongfang Ming and his entourage took a carriage and ran to the east of the city.
There are a total of five auctions in Majiku City in a year, four of which are held according to the four seasons, and one is the annual auction, which is also the auction meeting that Dongfang Ming attends today.
Dongfang Ming frowned and looked at the flow of people outside the car, and said to himself:
"There are so many people......
Nellina gently pinched Dongfang Ming's shoulder, glanced outside the car, and said with a smile:
"Well, it'll be fine in two days. ”
The city of Majiku was the largest seaport city in the Kingdom of Gosni, and the annual auction attracts merchants and nobles from surrounding cities or kingdoms to participate in the auction event.
So every year at this time, the floating population of Majiku City will skyrocket several times, making this large city very crowded.
A few hours later, Dongfang Ming and his entourage rushed to the auction hall in the Dongcheng business district.
Outside the carriage, a group of family knights quickly cleared a passage into the venue. Then, Dongfang Ming and the others walked down from the carriage.
After the group walked into the venue, Nellina took out a gold token and shook it in front of the person in charge of the auction conference, and said:
"Took us to the private room. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me. ”
After looking at the ancient coat of arms on the token, the person in charge touched the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead, and carefully took Dongfang Ming and his party to a special upper-class aristocratic private room.
The design of the auction hall is similar to that of a cabaret theater, and it is roughly divided into three floors.
The lowest level is all commoner-level adventurers and merchants, while the middle level is more special, and the people sitting in it are some big businessmen with status or powerful adventurers, and finally the upper level can only be entered by nobles. Except for the nobles who had private rooms, the other two floors were halls.
There is no seat on the lower floor, people who enter the lower floor can only stand, the middle floor is naturally better than the lower floor, some scattered seats in the hall can give people to sit down and rest, as for the top floor are a noble box, which has soft sofas, fresh fruits and delicious snacks, and fragrant milk tea. It forms a great contrast with the other two layers, which is the difference between people caused by different identities.
Dongfang Ming and Nellina waited quietly in the box for a while before the opening ceremony of the auction began.
"Thank you ......"
A host surnamed male came to the stage, and after talking nonsense for a while, he was bombarded by the noisy crowd.
"Hello gentlemen and ladies, I'm Lezi. ”
After the crowd was quiet, the auction house changed to a beautiful mature female host who came to the stage and began to introduce herself.
Then, Lezi bowed around several times and said loudly:
"We are here to welcome all the ladies and gentlemen. ”
"The auction has officially begun!"
A young girl slowly walked up to the stage, holding a delicate tray in her hand and placing it in front of the auction table, and then slowly retreated.
Lezi suddenly lifted the red cloth on the tray, pointed to the strange red fruit on the tray, and shouted:
"First of all, the first treasure is this red heart fruit ......"
Then Lezi slowly recited:
"Red Heart Fruit, a three-star treasure, has the effect of treating diseases with the surname Han, and has the effect of improving the physical fitness of weak people, the reserve price is 50 gold coins, the lowest starting price is 1 gold coin, and the auction begins!"
“51!”
“52!”
“55!”
“60!”
“61!”
“65!”
“......”
As soon as the people at the bottom heard this, they frantically scrambled for the auction to begin, and it was rare to have treasures that improved their physique.
"100 gold once!100 gold twice!100 gold three times!deal!"
Lezi stood on the stage and screamed frantically, until Chi Xinguo was taken away by a wealthy merchant on the second floor, and then stopped.
Soon, another young girl walked up to the stage with a delicate tray and placed the tray in front of the auction table.
Lezi lifted the red cloth and shouted loudly again:
"The next one is a ten-cubic-meter space ring, and everyone understands the usefulness, so I won't accept it. Prices start at 500 gold, with a minimum increase of 10 gold coins each time. ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man dressed as an adventurer on the second floor took the lead in shouting:
“510!”
Then, on the second floor, a middle-aged wealthy businessman who had gained oil shouted:
“530!”
After that, another thin old man slowly shouted:
“570!”
A lightly armed man then shouted:
“600!”
Seeing that the scene suddenly became quiet, Le Zi began to announce:
"600 gold once, 600 gold twice ......"
“700!”
But before the announcement was over, a crisp female voice came from a box on the third floor.
Le Zi was also stunned for a moment when she heard this, but quickly reacted and continued to announce:
"Uh, 700 gold once! 700 gold twice! 700 gold three times!"
The lightly armed man before was still stunned there, he never dreamed that he would meet a local tyrant, he didn't treat gold coins as money at all, the market price of a normal ten-cubic-meter space ring was about 600 gold coins at most, but the local tyrant directly shouted out 700 gold coins, which made him lose interest in continuing to chase the price.
Dongfang Ming couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly when he saw this, the woman in the box next door was too arrogant, and threw more than 100 gold coins for nothing.
Later, some antiques and cultivation materials were auctioned at the venue, but Dongfang Ming was not interested in this, so he did not bid for the auction.
After that, after auctioning more than a dozen things one after another, the auction also reached its small high ~ tide, and the auctioned things became more and more precious, including some rare treasures, but without exception, these treasures were coaxed out by the nobles of the third layer.
"What's that?"
"Like an orc slave!"
Dongfang Ming originally closed his eyes and enjoyed Nellina's massage, but suddenly heard some twitching on the field, so he opened his eyes and looked over.
Le Zi waited for a few stout men to carry an iron cage onto the stage before shouting leisurely:
"The next one is a five-star early Minotaur slave, with a starting price of 1,500 gold coins, and a minimum increase of 10 gold coins each time!"
However, the people in the auction hall did not immediately rush it, but quietly watched Lezi.
At this time, a merchant sitting on the second floor suddenly shouted:
"Where did this 'black goods' come from! You dare to sell it! If something happens to us after we buy it, will your auction house be responsible?"
Someone made a noise, and naturally someone was willing to make a fuss, and then an adventurer sitting on the second floor shouted:
"That's right! This kind of Minotaur is a powerful fighting race, and the low-level ones may even be sold, how can the five-star Minotaurs be sold as slaves!"
"yes! You auction house wants to trick people, right?"
“......”
Soon, a large number of people on the field began to heckle.
Lezi seemed to have expected this kind of situation, and seemed very calm, and replied unhurriedly:
"Don't get me wrong, as a regular and reputable auction house, how can you be pitied. I haven't finished my words yet, this five-star minotaur was found and arrested by the chief after he was killed by the wife of their chief, and he was reduced to a slave and sold. ”
“......”
"I see......"
"I'm going to have 1600 gold coins. ”
"Opportunity is hard to find!1900 gold coins"
"Don't rob anyone with me, 2,300 gold coins. ”
When everyone in the audience heard this, they immediately became interested and began to scramble for this minotaur frantically.
"Poof!"
After Dongfang Ming heard this, he almost squirted out the milk tea he had just drunk into his mouth. The Minotaur really deserves to be a Minotaur, and he won't buy this 'thing' if he is killed.
Nellina looked at the young man's expression was wrong, and he almost choked just now, so she asked with concern:
"Ming-sama, what's wrong, are you uncomfortable?"
Dongfang Ming smiled awkwardly and explained:
"It's okay, it's just that I was stimulated by the 'enthusiasm' of the people below, and now it's okay. ”
"Oh. ”
Nellina didn't think much about it, so she continued to help Dongfang Ming get a massage.
"2500 gold for the first time!2500 gold for the second time!2500 gold for the third time!!
Not long after, the minotaur in the audience was also photographed.
Dongfang Ming felt that the ordinary treasures in the audience were boring, so he closed his eyes and continued to wait.
But Scarlet Ju was very concerned about the auction below, and after suddenly discovering the strangeness of the men on the field, he hurriedly said:
"Young master, take a look below, there's a 'good thing' coming out......"
"The next one is 'amorous water', I believe you gentlemen understand the 'wonderful use' of this thing, but I don't like this thing very much. Well, without further ado, the price starts at 999 gold coins, with a minimum increase of 1 gold coin each time. ”
As soon as Lezi finished shouting, the crowd below had a frantic bidding, and was finally auctioned away by a nobleman in the upper private room.
"Scarlet, is this what you call 'good stuff'?"
Dongfang Ming heard this name and the auctioneer's secret hint, and almost understood the usefulness of this thing.
"I'm sorry, young master, I just saw that the people below were very excited, and I thought it was a 'good thing' on the field"
Scarlet blushed and looked at the boy embarrassedly.
“......”
Dongfang Ming was silent for a while before he said:
"Forget it, it's not your fault. ”
Nellina felt that the boy seemed to be disappointed in this auction, so she said softly:
"Ming, the last few finale treasures are real 'treasures', you take a rest for a while, and when those 'treasures' come to the stage, I'm reminding you. ”
Dongfang Ming nodded and agreed:
"Well, okay. ”
Last night, he fought against Nerina, Licolys, and Mengmeng, and he didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, but fortunately he didn't fall down, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed now.
After a while, Dongfang Ming leaned on the sofa and slowly fell asleep.
......
After watching dozens of treasures being auctioned off one after another on the auction table, Nellina suddenly saw several people carrying a special black iron cage, and she understood that the main play was about to begin.
So Nellina pushed Dongfang Ming and shouted softly:
"Ming, wake up, the finale treasure will be auctioned soon!"
"Hmm~~"
Dongfang Ming was still a little confused, but his consciousness recovered, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the auction table through a special window.
