Chapter 377: Star Auction House
Hearing the price described by the third prince Murfin, Ryan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the third prince Murphy regarded Ryan as having the same financial resources as him, and he really looked up to Ryan too much.
Ryan counted in his heart a little, and his net worth was still about six thousand gold coins. This coin used to be a lot of money, and even now, if Ryan doesn't go to the auction, it will take a long time. But once Ryan wants to auction something good at auction, then he can only auction one or two ordinary items, and of course, he may not even be able to sell one.
"It seems that we need to get a sum of gold coins, and that batch of Fire Bright Crystals can't be stored anymore, so we have to sell them as soon as possible." Rui An's secret decision was to get a lot of gold coins, and at this moment Ryan had no other way than to sell the fire spar he got from the magic storage bag of the silver-white armor owner. Previously, Ryan was not short of gold coins, and since the lava crypt was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, the price of the fire spar continued to rise, so Ryan never sold that batch of fire spar. Now that the price of the fire spar has risen very high, it is time for Ryan to make a move.
As one of the most important signboards of Xingchen Auction House, although guests are invited to participate in this triennial super-large auction by invitation, the number of guests present at that time will also reach two or three thousand, and the scale of the scene is very large. In particular, the identity of the guests participating in the auction is either rich or expensive, so it is not too much to say that this kind of auction will be one of the top auctions in the mainland.
Due to the large number of participants, auction items prepared for this super-large auction. It is also said that there are tens of thousands of them, so it is important to ensure that every guest can get the items they want at auction and will not go home empty-handed. Of course. The number of tens of thousands does not refer to the type, but to the number of pieces. Like some items that are not particularly precious and in large quantities, but are usually difficult to buy, the auction will auction many pieces at the same time. For example, in previous auctions, there will be a kind of excellent healing elixir, each auction will auction 100 copies at the same time, and the guests will auction in the form of secret auctions, and the higher the price will be obtained.
Among the many auction items, the number of ordinary items accounts for about ninety and a half, but these auction items are nominally ordinary items. But some of the ordinary items, if they are exchanged for the monthly auctions of the Star Auction House, are considered precious items, if they are auctions of the small auction houses of those Kingdom Principalities. It's a much more precious item.
The number of precious items that will appear in the auction is as high as three or four hundred, and these precious items are exchanged for the monthly auction of the Star Auction House, which is regarded as the finale of the auction. Each time it will cause a sword and sword auction competition.
As for the best items, there are generally only a few dozen of them at auction, and they are all rare treasures. However, there is a fierce competition among many people when the precious items are auctioned. The competition for the best items is much smaller, but much more intense. The price of the best items is too high. As a result, at auctions with large numbers, only a few people can afford to bid. Most people can only be reduced to spectators, watching these rich people compete in a bloody battle.
In the end, Ryan learned that the auction time would be half a month later, and he was not in much of a hurry, he and the third prince Mo Fen made an appointment to go together, and then returned to his usual life.
A few days later, Ryan took the time to go to the shop to buy the fire spar. There were more than four hundred of that batch of fire sparks, which was more than the number of fire sparks obtained by Ryan and the third prince Mo Fen during their previous expeditions, and there were more than a hundred high-grade fire sparks.
Ryan kept more than a dozen of the best quality high-grade fire spars, and sold all the others, and the result was that more than 60,000 gold coins were sold, which was much Ryan's surprise.
During this period of time, as the fire spar became less and less, its purchase price also increased a lot, which made Ryan make a fortune, but Ryan estimates that there is not much room for the price to rise in the future, because if the price rises again, it will be a little unworthwhile for people to use the fire spar, and the same price can be exchanged for buying a fire type Warcraft crystal nucleus, not necessarily to buy a fire spar.
At this time, Ryan's net worth reached as much as 70,000 gold coins, which was enough to buy some better items at auction.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the triennial auction begins.
The Star Auction House is not located in the bustling area of the Glorious City, on the contrary, it is located in the slightly remote suburbs of the Glorious City. But no one will look down on the Star Auction House, because the Star Auction House has long been free to use the popularity of the downtown area to attract business, and its position as the number one auction house in the Otto Empire is unmatched.
Speaking of the Star Auction House, not everyone knows about the ordinary people in the City of Glory because it is too far away from the lives of ordinary people. But among the nobles, the rich, the magicians, and the swordsmen, it is a place that everyone knows, and among these people, they may not be qualified to enter it from the beginning to the end, but in the daily conversation, they more or less know about the state of the Star Auction House.
Located on the eastern outskirts of the City of Glory, the Stellar Auction House has enclosed an area to form a small business circle with many shops. These shops are all run by the Star Auction House, and they sell a wide variety of goods, which are ordinary items that can be bought without having to go to auction. Of course, these people are mainly nobles and wealthy people, and those swordsmen and magicians who are not wealthy at hand will basically not come to these shops to buy, because the prices of goods sold in these shops of the Star Auction House are one or two percent more expensive than other stores.
In addition to the outermost store, there are four large and four small auction rooms in the center, and four small auction rooms surround a super large auction house.
Four small auction houses are where auctions are held every month, and they auction magic items, swordsman items, jewelry and jade items, and miscellaneous items. In addition to auctioning magical swordsman items, the Star Auction House also auctions a variety of other items, because among the nobles, not everyone is a powerful magician or swordsman, most of the nobles are low-level magicians or swordsmen, or even ordinary people, in contrast, they are more willing to spend a lot of money to buy something valuable and collectible.
However, once it comes to the annual large-scale auction and the triennial super-large auction, it will mainly auction items such as magic and swordsman, with a few other types of items interspersed. After all, the professions of this world are dominated by magicians and swordsmen, and people's pursuit of strength is more urgent.
The large auction hall in the middle is where the annual and triennial auctions take place. It occupies a large area, which is larger than a large arena, and it is said that there are countless private rooms inside, and the decoration is extremely luxurious, and it is very popular with the aristocratic and wealthy.
"This box is very comfortable!" Sitting on a large chair covered in the fur of the monster, Ryan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, they earn a lot of gold coins, so naturally they want to serve us comfortably." The third prince, Mo Fen, said lightly, very casually.
The huge auction hall has a very large square platform on the ground floor, more than two meters high, and there is a large square table on the platform, which is obviously an auction table, and below the auction table, there are rows of chairs, close to two thousand seats. Around the bottom floor of the auction hall, there are five floors of steps, the steps are all one by one, the total number of boxes reaches five or six hundred, each box area is different, the lowest level of the box is very small, only able to sit two or three people, and the top floor of the box is very large, sitting more than ten people do not feel crowded.
Obviously, the auction is divided into two types: ordinary seats and VIP seats. Ordinary seats are rows of seats on the ground floor, and in contrast, guests have a much lower status than VIP guests, who can only sit in one seat per invitation and cannot bring anyone else in. Moreover, ordinary guests who want to buy things must show up and quote the price so that everyone knows who bought it, unlike the guests in the private room who can keep it secret.
The VIP seat is the guest in the box, you can bring other people who do not have invitations into the box to participate in the auction, of course, there is no right to buy without invitations, these need to be auctioned and bought, and the owner of the box needs to buy on behalf of the auction. One of the advantages of the box is that the people inside don't have to show up, they only need to make an offer to buy it, so that it can be kept confidential.
The third prince Mofen's box is on the top floor, but the location is not the best box, because the best rooms are given to several princes and other princes whose status is much higher than that of the third prince Mofen. Even so, the box of the third prince Mofen is much better than the other boxes, of course, it is naturally much better than the rows of seats on the ground floor.
The Third Prince Murphy brought all the members of the expedition with him, but only four of them had the right to buy them, namely the Third Prince Murfin, Dika, Ebony, and Ryan. If the Warwick and Stoslav brothers fancy something suitable, they need the third prince Murfen to buy it on their behalf.
Everyone sat in the box, looking at the auction table on the ground floor through a transparent, glass-like crystal sheet in front of the box, and chatted from time to time, waiting for the auction to begin. The crystal sheet in front of the box is one-way translucent, that is, the people in the box can look outside, but the people outside can't see the inside of the box, and the light is blocked by the crystal sheet, and only a black piece is seen. This is a measure taken by Star Auction to protect the guests.
Although the box of the third prince Mofen is very good and high, it is a little far away from the auction table on the ground floor. Fortunately, all of them are high-level swordsmen or high-level magicians, and their eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and they can see the auction table clearly. (To be continued.) )
