Chapter 58: Auction (4K)

"Miss Mary, we met again, and you didn't come to the auction to buy anything?"

Mary posed as a performer, pretending to be bewitching and playing with her handbag and makeup case, scratching her head and talking in her voice: "I usually pass by, just to see if there is anything interested." ā€

"......" Ameta wanted to ask about the gem card set, but after seeing Mary's behavior, her desire to speak quickly decreased.

Didn't the low-order Extraordinaires of the Tower Path be invited because they had been treated unjustly or suffered a major setback? Why does she look weird, with no clear goals to strive for, and nothing particular about the status quo that she wants to change?

It was curious to know how Miss Mary had become extraordinary, but Ameta couldn't find the right way to get to the point of conversation now, so she smiled awkwardly and hurried into the entrance of the auction.

"Invitations, or the extraordinaries who have already registered." The werewolf at the door guards the cross-iron halberd, and Ameta shows the scroll proof.

"Hmm......" The werewolf guard glanced at Mary with heavy makeup a few more times, and he didn't know which tendon of this woman was wrong, in short, she was a guest before she got out of control, and she gave in after checking her identity in a process-like manner.

But I didn't know that Mary secretly clenched her fists: Well done, Mary! As long as the gem sleeves sell well and become a successful and mature salesman, your blank card will be in your hands!

Deliberately interfering with the auction will inevitably lead to a quarrel, and if necessary, you will have to talk to Ameta and of course sit closer.

Colly didn't go with the two, he went to other entrances to sell goods, during the auction sale, he could watch the play in the customer seat, or he could choose to rest and wait in the consignment seat, mainly to spy on Mary and the situation there, and the atmosphere was not for him, he could also retreat.

Unpretentious booths, low-key dark red curtains, and extraordinary salesmen.

Oh, it was a rare snake girl, writhing around the booth with a gold tray in the open.

The seats of the Extraordinary are very spacious, a bit like the "dining room" layout of the Hunting Church, and you can also sit with the extraordinary people you know.

Under the black robe, Ke Li crossed his arm to activate the Demon Eye, and looked at the crowd structure here without any obstacles.

The auction is still some time away, and less than 20% of the Extraordinary people who enter the Mammoth Horn are ordinary people who have invitations standing on the table, and their faces are wearing woodcut and painted beast masks, specially for the extraordinary to run back and gather information.

On the whole, there are extraordinary people of all races, and even the barbarians who have disappeared for a while have reappeared.

It's hard to imagine a small gathering of extraordinaires, where there are a few people trading.

Will the variety of goods be a little monotonous, will the probability of transaction be so low that it is a waste of time, and things cannot be sold at all?

"Hello, is there anyone booking here?"

Ke Li, who was covered by the black-robed hat, glanced at the other party, changed his voice and said hoarsely: "No one, just sit down." ā€

"Okay." The lion-man in armor, with a thick mane, sat sturdy and soundly on a chair on a tree stump.

Fortunately, he moved his position and didn't deliberately block his vision, otherwise Ke Li would have wondered if this guy was here to stir up trouble.

It's just a small episode, and the remaining 1 seat is also occupied by aliens.

The snake girl on the booth had a charming smile and a performance of thanks after the twisting, and then the official auction was held:

"There are a lot of treasures in the auction today!"

"The first one is a refining product from the Extraordinary of the Eastern Empire, the explosive magnetic tribulus terrestris, as long as you throw it casually, it can be automatically and evenly deployed at the landmark, and the weapon gives priority to attacking enemies wearing metal armor, but it does not include gold armor and jade armor......"

The orc helper on the edge of the booth walked out carrying a box full of thistles.

The snake girl grabbed a handful of thistles and sprinkled them casually, and the thistles were evenly and stably distributed on the white cloth like a honeycomb grid node:

"Whether it is flat or wall, it is evenly distributed, and given the limited space of the auction booth, it cannot be used as a disguise for the power of the explosion, and according to the authoritative proof of the power coefficient evaluator, its damage power will not be weaker than that of all kinds of basic firearms......"

Spike grenades are just a bit useful, and even distribution is a bit useful, which can increase the threat area of the trap, but there are no storage props, so it's impossible to go out to fight and walk around with a box of hidden weapons, right?

Colley looked away from the props, observing the expressions and movements of the others.

Most of the extraordinary people or errand runners have seen the world, and only a few people have bid, expressing some interest and wanting to study it. The rest of the people were not interested, so that after exchanging opinions, they stopped raising the price and were ready to buy and split up.

The snake girl is not surprised, and the auction is all about bringing out a variety of hors d's oeuvres to attract the attention of others.

If every time it is full of big goods for a while, and it is all side dishes for a while, it will definitely not be conducive to the long-term business of the auction in general, so there are various agreed schedules and storage in private, and the wind is regularly released to attract attention.

"The second item, which is also a condensing elixir from the Eastern Empire, can quickly stabilize the mental state to support spell casting or rituals, but long-term and large amounts may cause migraines......"

"The third item, a rare winter root from the Snowy Fortress, is said to be completely more effective than burdock grass......"

"The fourth prop is a bit special, an 'blue-faced ghost' demonic beast's arm, which has a certain activation property remaining, can be directly transplanted to the body for use, and has relatively high requirements for the transplanter's physique, but it can obtain demon-like power......"

The auction items are bizarre, ranging from serious minerals and medicinal herbs to props and torture instruments of dubious origin.

For example, the bone cages used by forest trolls to pretend to be livestock, the guillotine steel blades that cut off 100 heads, the manhole covers that burrow into the sewers to drill out strange black hands, and the strange dolls that make small noises when they are alone.

"I'm afraid that even the press conference of the privatization company of the train track will not easily adopt such an exaggerated setting......"

The gem card sleeve alone is not eligible to appear as a finale item, so it can only be mixed in the middle, otherwise Mammoth Horn will be difficult to do.

"The next prop, called the Tarot Tablecloth That Never Dries Up, is a relic of an extraordinary person, and is said to provide stronger accuracy and card efficacy when divination, but the matching crystal ball, planetarium and other items were damaged in the accident, and only a small amount of extraordinary properties remained on the tablecloth for divination, like tears that never dry, and it smelled faintly like a riverside pebble."

"The starting price, 20 magic crystals, each increase must not be less than 50 magic stones."

"Things are really interesting, you can't see these things in the town, but the price is really expensive......" Ameta raised her spirits, but she was shy in her pocket, and she wanted to see if the news of the gem card set was true, so she could only watch others raise the price.

While speaking, Mary also took the opportunity to show off her knowledge: "The world of the extraordinary, and ordinary people have always been at a distance, although the magic crystal and magic stone can be exchanged for a large number of gold coins, but ordinary banks do not have so many reserves, and the extraordinary bank requires identity verification, these things have been in the hands of the royal family and the church from the beginning, and the folk extraordinary people will know it if they come into contact with it." ā€

"If you look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, the things of the extraordinary are naturally ridiculously expensive. However, in fact, as long as you have enough strength and are not afraid to work hard to do more bounty tasks, the money will come quickly, and many tasks are subsidized by the organization. ā€

"Assuming that the Magic Stone and Crystal can't be exchanged for gold coins, and is just the base currency in the Extraordinary World, then it doesn't sound that expensive."

"I see!" Ameta scratched her head and smiled, and couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I think it's still very expensive......"

The tarot tablecloth, which never dries up, was taken by a strange and extraordinary person for 40 magic crystals after causing a lot of discussion.

Then there's the gem card holder.

"The next prop, gem craft card holder, extraordinary craft products, special items that can amplify the effect of the card, a set of 12 cards, the materials and colors of various gems are carefully selected and carved with ingenuity, although it is not the original set with the tarot tablecloth, but there may be some commonalities between the two, maybe it can be matched with other wonderful uses~"

"Because it is a new concept work of the craftsman, the starting price of a single piece is not less than 5 magic stones, and it starts at 60 magic stones, and the price increase shall not be less than 5 magic stones each time."

Before the words fell, the extraordinary person who bought the tarot tablecloth raised his hand and offered: "60 magic stones!" ā€

Your uncle, is this thing going to be sold to you! You're asking for a price so fast! Don't mess up the business, okay!

In an instant, both Mary and Ameta couldn't help but glance at the man, and the latter felt that the prying eyes just smiled back.

Mary had a bad premonition, so she decisively took out the communication card, slightly blocked the outside world's observation with the wall of inspiration, and exchanged words: "It's broken, unexpected people are stirring up the situation, what should I do now?" ā€

Ke Li was not nervous, and also covered his vision and wrote: "Don't panic, as long as it is within a reasonable range, you will follow other people's bidding, more than Ameta can bear, you tentatively shout two sentences and give up, anyway, it is not you who pay, you don't have to worry about the handling fee." ā€

If others ask for a price, you will follow, and it is an extraordinary person like Mr. Ke Li who is not bad for money that has the confidence to say such things casually, right?

It would be nice if there were friends around me who said the same thing when I was shopping in Mammoth Horn, but unfortunately this kind of thing is just thinking about it.

Mary quickly regained her composure, and her movements and demeanor when she took out her cards to communicate with others were naturally watched by Ameta.

"What are you staring at me all the time?"

Ameta quickly looked away and decided to be a little more bold and tentative: "Oh! Sorry, I was just wondering if Miss Mary and I knew the same contact, so I was curious and didn't mean to snoop on privacy. ā€

"Ah, it's already countdown......"

"70 magic stones!" Not to be outdone, Ameta screamed, attracting the attention of many people again.

Mary also followed: "75 magic stones!" ā€

For a moment, Ameta was a little stunned, but it was not surprising when she thought about the versatility of this card sleeve and the expectation of reinforcement.

It's always cool to add new cards, but the power of the cards is fixed, and there are very few ways to increase the strength of the cards, so it's certainly not surprising that someone needs this kind of thing.

The scene suddenly whispered: "It's started, my favorite link, the extraordinary people are grabbing things and shouting at each other!" ā€

"Be quiet, what if they fight, don't splash blood on me when you die."

"No, Mammoth Horn somewhere, the extraordinary will go outside to make an appointment at most, and they won't mess around at the auction."

"You don't hold grudges when you're a person, and it's a lot of neuroses to vent ordinary people to find a sense of superiority when you're in a bad mood......"

"You scolded them for being insane, haha, anyway, now you must die before me......"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Ameta is also a little unaccustomed, although he thinks that the extraordinary are indeed a little more noble than ordinary people, but he will not be idle and have fun with ordinary people: "It seems that the atmosphere of Mammoth Horn is not very good, and there are indeed people here who need help." ā€

"But helping those people means going head-to-head with other extraordinary people, and it's not easy to mediate justice......

"75 Magic Stones ...... at a Time"

"80 magic stones!" The extraordinaire didn't seem to expect a potential competitor, and his expression changed slightly.

Sensing the solid rivalry between them, troublemakers and fungi soon appeared.

"90 magic stones!"

"Is there any mistake, what do you can't do magic barbarian want a gem card sleeve for!"

"I didn't steal or rob, what's your business, can I buy it back and sell it?"

"100 magic stones!"

"Didn't you shout happily last time when you didn't steal other people's things? Anyway, you're so rich, you don't mind having a little more blood, right? ā€

"Hundreds of magic stones are drizzling, add money and add money!"

The two extraordinary people who really want it are not in a beautiful mood right now, but they don't know each other, so there is no possibility of talking.

Ameta quickly felt the pressure on her wallet, and couldn't help but blushed and whispered for help: "Miss Mary, can I ask you one thing, can you lend me a little money first, or can we buy it together and redistribute it?" ā€

This made Mary stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?" I don't know you well. ā€

Ameta could only add: "I know more skills and information about the Tower path, although Miss Mary also has a contact, but I just divined, it seems that it is not the same person as my contact, there may be new content in terms of intelligence, what do you think?" ā€

"Although there is competition in the same way and sequence, but let's cooperate and take down those card sets?"

Mary was a little speechless, and pretended that the deck was missing: "How many are you going to have?" How do you say you don't have enough points? ā€

Ameta touched his left forearm: "A total of 48 are needed, I want to verify them first, and then you pick ...... first"

48 shots! The corners of Mary's mouth twitched visibly, and then she had to cover her mouth even more exaggeratedly in order to hide her expression.

Ameta seemed to have ants crawling all over her body: "I—I didn't know that it would be troublesome if the deck was too thick, and I'm already trying to figure out how to streamline it!" I didn't mean to make the deck so thick, it's all forced by life, and I'm also very professional in building the deck genre now! ā€

It turned out that he had misunderstood, so he ......

Mary regained her composure and was interested in Ameta herself: "Interesting, I'd like to know how you're going to delete the card." ā€

Ametta breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the topic was moved in the direction of the deletion of the card, and even Miss Mary was very interested.

But Mary then gave him an ultimatum, causing Ameta's palms and backs to sweat:

"I'll change your clothes and help you with this private deal, but if you dare to lie to me with fake news, you know what the result will be, right?"

"My sister can't spare you in private~"
