Chapter 064: Auction

After the two went shopping for a long time, Ryan was a little bored, although listening to Hurris's introduction and having a long insight, but every one of them was something he couldn't afford now. How can shopping in such a state of mind not be boring?

Ryan asked Helis, "Heshao, are there any new things in this fair?" ”

Helis looked at the sky, thought for a moment and replied, "At this time, it is estimated that the auction held by the auction house is about to start, let's go over and take a look." ”

Yesterday Ryan had learned from Hiris that there is an auction house in Scayas called "Hearst Auction House", which is the largest and only auction house in the city, it is said that there were several comparable auction houses in Skayas City before, but more than ten years ago, Hearst Auction House suddenly sprung up, with huge financial resources, and abundant supply, quickly defeated the rest of the auction houses, and finally formed a situation where one is now dominant.

Under the guidance of Hurlis, the two soon arrived at the door of Hears's auction house.

Ryan found that a large number of people had gathered in front of the Hearst auction house, including civilians watching the bustle, people dressed as merchants who looked like petty traders, but more often than not, mercenaries with weapons and equipment. Apparently these people are very interested in the auction.

But why don't these people go in?

The answer was soon apparent to Ryan.

Because the entrance fee to the auction is 5 gold coins, it is natural that many people are reluctant to spend so much money to enter, especially those mercenaries who really want to enter but do not have much money to squander.

After Ryan heard this information, his first thought was to grab money, and the second thought was that he had no money to go in.

Just as Ryan was about to stop, Ryan noticed that Killis did not stop, and walked directly towards the door of the auction house.

Ryan hurriedly took two steps forward and hurriedly said to Helis: "He Shao, the ticket here costs 5 gold coins. ”

"I know."

"I don't have this money to squander, so let's not go in."

Helis paused for a moment and said to Ryan with a smile, "Don't worry, you just come with me." With that, he raised his feet and walked forward.

Ryan hurriedly took Helis's hand and said with a serious expression: "He Shao, I won't go in, you don't have to give me these 5 gold coins." ”

Helis took Ryan's hand in turn and comforted him with a smile: "You don't have to pay, you just follow me." With that, he pulled Ryan forward.

Ryan listened, a little confused, but still raised his foot and was pulled away by Helis.

The two approached, and a greeting person at the door saw the two and quickly walked towards them.

Just when Ryan thought that this man was going to exit and ask them for the entrance fee, the man's behavior surprised Ryan.

I saw that after the man approached, he bowed ninety degrees to Helis, and then said respectfully: "He Shao, you are back, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The words "come back," "sir," and "wait a long time" quickly swirled through Ryan's mind. Suddenly, Ryan somewhat understood Helis's identity.

Then, Helis just nodded and said to the man, "Well, I see, you're going to get busy with you, I'm just coming back to see how the auction is going." You don't tell my daddy. ”

The man replied resignedly, and then invited Helis and Ryan in.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Ryan asked impatiently, "He Shao, is this auction house your family?" At this time, he thought that the name of the auction house was "Hearst Auction House", and his heart was even more certain.

Helis smiled and said, "It's not my family, it's just that the old man of my family has some share in it." ”

"Hmm." Seeing that Helis didn't seem to want to talk more, Ryan duly shut his mouth.

Helis led Ryan to turn left and right and came to a hall.

The hall is beautifully decorated with gold walls, surrounded by wooden walls carved with various strange insects, monsters, and precious flowers, and the walls are coated with a layer of fine gold leaf, which is not only elegant, but also more noble.

Above the middle of the hall, a large chandelier hung on it, and above it was lit a kind of oil that Ryan couldn't name, and the light was as bright as daylight, illuminating the whole hall as bright as the outdoors.

Ryan didn't look closely at the surroundings, just took a general look, as his eyes were drawn to the situation in the hall.

The most striking thing in the hall is the rows of chairs, twenty or thirty chairs in a row, a total of about twenty rows. There is a large space between chairs and there is plenty of space for everyone sitting on it. There were almost all the chairs that were already full, and everyone was staring at the stage with great attention.

On the table at the front of the hall is a large long table with a variety of auction items. Behind the large table, there is a small table that is about half a person high, and on it stands a person who looks like an auctioneer, and is diligently introducing the items being auctioned, constantly using various words to attract people to bid.

"Oh, the auction has begun." Helis said as he pulled Ryan to the last row and sat down casually in two empty chairs.

The waiter, who was standing around and wanted to stop him, withdrew with a smile when he saw Helis.

The two then began to watch the auction intently.

Suddenly, Ryan heard a shouting voice floating down from the second floor. He looked up a little strangely, but saw nothing but the windows of the small rooms.

Ryan looked at Huris, expecting his explanation.

"This hall is occupied by the public seats, that is, those seats that sell tickets for 5 gold coins outside, and there are dozens of VIP rooms on the second floor above, which are all some nobles or big businessmen, etc., who are the big customers of the auction." After a pause, Helis continued to explain, "Now all the auctions are ordinary items, and the people below are auctioning, and when some heavyweight items appear in the back, the VIPs above will make a move." ”

"Oh." Ryan suddenly understood.

Having said that, the ordinary items auctioned here are not affordable for poor people like Ryan. For example, when Ryan was shopping before, he only saw the blue sideburns wolf skin with a gap and mutilation, and he already felt that he couldn't afford it, but when he arrived at the auction, he saw a whole batch of ten green sideburns wolf wolf skins, and they were intact and flawless, and they were auctioned by a merchant for 300 gold coins. Ryan felt even more that he couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, Ryan's mentality is very good, and he has no inferiority complex at all, and he watches all this purely with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Next, Ryan listened to the introduction of the auctioneer on the stage and watched the crazy bidding of the people under the stage, which really gained a lot of knowledge. Moreover, when Ryan encounters something he really doesn't understand, he can also ask Helis next to him, and Helis's insight is not inferior to the auctioneer on the stage.

After half a day, the auction of ordinary items is over, and then it is time to auction some items with special attributes. Ryan learned from Hurlis that on the first and last day of the fair, the auction house would auction some heavyweight items.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the ordinary items have been auctioned off now, and the next round of auctions will be held, auctioning items with special attributes, among which the three items of the staker are very precious......" the auctioneer gushed in.

"It's about to begin." Helis reminded Ryan, and the two stared at the stage with more attention.

Immediately, the two maids carefully carried a peculiar-shaped long sword on a tray and placed it on the long table, which had long been emptied.

There was an uproar in the room, and many guests stood up very excitedly, obviously this auction item aroused a lot of interest.

Ryan looked carefully, and the blade of the longsword was not much different from that of an ordinary longsword, except that there were many unknown patterns and lines on the sword. And the hilt of the sword is much longer than that of ordinary longswords, and the biggest difference is that there is an inlay at the interface between the hilt and the blade, in which a fiery red crystal ball about the size of a child's fist is installed.

Ryan was a little strange, but he had already guessed a little in his heart: "Could this be the legendary magic sword?" ”

Sure enough, the auctioneer's voice immediately sounded: "The first auction item, a low-level fire-type magic sword, can send out five level 1 magic fire blades in a row. The Fire Sword Blade is an extended mutation magic of the Level 1 Magic Fireball Technique, which combines the characteristics of the blade and the magic fireball, and its lethality is extremely amazing. I announce that the starting price for this fire-type magic sword is 500 gold coins, and the auction is now open. ”
