Chapter 47: Elves
Soon, the auction was packed. The auctioneer on the stage walked to the center and used something like a microphone to spread the sound into everyone's ears.
"It is our great honor to welcome you to Tianya Auction House. Without further ado, I promise that every piece of the auction will be of interest to everyone this time, and I declare the auction officially open. Let's go to the first item. As the auctioneer spoke, two men appeared on the stage pushing a cart.
There were two boxes on the cart, but they were not opened. The auctioneer stepped aside, pointed to the two boxes and said, "Please take a closer look, this first auction item will definitely surprise everyone." As he spoke, he directly opened the two boxes, and the moment the boxes opened, the eyes of the entire auction hall were focused together.
A faint glow emanated from the box, and two translucent gems lay silently on the flannel.
"This is! This is the Radiance Stone?"
"That's right, right?
The crowd below suddenly boiled, and the auctioneer on the stage said slowly, "You read it right, these two are light stones, and they are attributeless." I believe everyone knows the role of the Radiance Stone, and it can be embedded in weapons or equipment to make it emit light, which is really very popular. And these two are still attributeless, that is to say, what attribute you are, he will emit the light of what attribute. ”
"What's the use of this thing, is it just glowing?" In the box, Lin Yue turned his head and asked Jian You.
"Many sons and brothers will make a move, this thing is really a must-have item for picking up girls and pretending to be handsome. Jian Yu said.
"Now, these two non-attribute radiance stones are auctioned together. The reserve price is 2,000 gold, and each increase shall not be less than 100. The auctioneer said.
"Two thousand" soon a voice came from below.
Not a second later, another voice rang out, "Two thousand two." ”
Several adventurers competed with each other, and soon the price was too high to four thousand gold coins. At this time, a voice came from a box on the second floor, "Five thousand." ”
As soon as they heard someone in the VIP box upstairs start bidding, the few adventurers below immediately died down. I know that there are many big names in this auction, and they don't dare to mess with them.
After this five thousand shouted, the people below withdrew from the scramble, but the battle for several VIP boxes began.
"Five thousand five. "The person who spoke was Gu Xiaoshan, who first came to the auction house before.
"Look, these boys are starting to compete. Jian said with a smile.
"I really don't understand what is the use of a glowing gem, and it can't increase combat effectiveness. Lin Yue felt that these people really had a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, thinking that the 20,000 gold coins on his body had been used up for a while, and there were only more than 17,000 left. It would be absolutely impossible for me to spend more than 5,000 to buy two useless gems.
"Six thousand" While Lin Yue was talking, another person joined the battle, and it was the fierce battle of the Lie family.
In the end, these two gems were bought by Gu Xiaoshan with 8,000 gold coins, and everyone secretly sighed that this fat man was really rich.
"Next up is the second lot, a one-handed sword of rare quality. It was the two staff members just now, pushing a small cart to the center of the platform, and there was a one-handed sword with a length of one meter on the cart. It didn't look anything special on the outside, but when the auctioneer announced its properties, there was another exclamation.
"Soul Cutter's Blade, a rare quality. Dark Element, equipping will increase your Attack by 20% and have a soul-cutting effect. Soul Slicing, each attack burns 1% of the enemy's life force. ”
"It's terrifying, if this thing attacks fast enough, it can torture and kill any creature. An adventurer exclaimed.
"The premise is that you can have such a fast attack speed, and how can someone else stand up and let you fight, you think too much. An adventurer next to him immediately retorted.
"And this is only available to totem masters who limit the dark attribute, so it's actually completely useless to us. ”
In the box, Lin Yue's eyes lit up after seeing this one-handed sword, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"A one-handed sword with the best attributes, the reserve price is two thousand gold coins, and the price increase must not be less than one hundred each time. "The auctioneer quoted the price of the Soul Cutter Blade.
However, due to the fact that it can only be used by dark totem masters, most adventurers seem to be lacking in interest. After a while, a voice came from a corner, "Two thousand gold." ”
Looking back, the person who spoke out was a man wearing black armor and his face was covered by a helmet. Obviously, he didn't seem to reveal his identity and chose to cover his face.
The auctioneer also knew that although the attributes of this piece of equipment were particularly superb, the limitation of the attributes determined that it would not appear to compete for bidding like the previous Radiance Stone. Just as he was about to knock down the small hammer in his hand, the auctioneer showed that someone had made a bid, and it was one of the VIP boxes on the second floor. But this person did not want to reveal his identity, and did not quote the price directly, but entered the price with the auctioneer.
"Three thousand gold coins, there is a VIP on the second floor who bids three thousand gold coins, is there anyone who wants to continue to follow the auction?" said the auctioneer in a loud voice.
After half a minute, seeing that the person who bid first had no intention of continuing to bid, the auctioneer raised his auction hammer, "Three thousand gold coins, once, twice, three times." Congratulations to this VIP for winning the Soul Cutter for 3,000 gold coins, and we will deliver the items to your box later. ”
The person who made this bid was Lin Yue. And this price he also gave after thinking twice, if only one or two hundred gold coins were added, it might make the person at the beginning continue to bid. So he chose to directly increase the price by three thousand and won this one-handed sword.
Next, the auctioneer tried his best to sell several items. For example, the fur of the medium-grade totem beast, the medium-grade crystal nucleus, and so on. Although the things are not too rare and valuable, they are encouraged by the auctioneer's skillful words. The fact that the price is higher than the value of the item itself shows how important a good auctioneer is to an auction house.
Soon, more than a dozen items were sold at the auction. And this one, after being pushed onto the stage by the staff, attracted everyone's attention. Because everyone can feel that the lot in this rectangular object covered with red cloth is a living thing.
"Please keep your eyes peeled for this auction item, this is also what our auction house got by chance, an elf girl. As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, the people below immediately exploded, and they all knew that the elves were extremely handsome. This turned out to be an elf girl, and Gu Xiaoshan's eyes in the box lit up all of a sudden.
In another box, Brian of the Elven Royal Family immediately spoke up, "I hope the auction house will give me an explanation." ”
Everyone immediately looked at the auctioneer, daring to openly auction the elven people in front of the elf royal family, this auction house must have something to rely on.
"Please calm your anger, Your Highness, this elf girl is not a high elf. She belongs to the Night Elves, and by chance, she was acquired by our auction house. The auctioneer said unhurriedly.
"I see, you continue. Immediately after learning that the elf was a Night Elf, Brian immediately lost interest and motioned for him not to interfere.
"Why doesn't the prince of this elven clan care when he hears the Night Elves, aren't the Night Elves also elves? Lin Yue asked.
"That Bryan is a high elf, and there are actually three kinds of elves in the Totem Continent. Although in ancient times they were one large race, but later due to differences, they split into three races. After a long period of evolution, the three races have undergone significant changes. The High Elves are recognized as elves on the mainland, and most of the elven forests are also in charge of them. The Night Elves, on the other hand, only occupy a small area, and as for the other elven race, the Blood Elves. They chose to hide overseas, and it is said that the Blood Elves occupy a sizable island, isolated from the rest of the world, and only occasionally see them on the mainland. Jian You explained to Lin Yue.
"Then what's the difference between them?" Lin Yue was curious.
"You've already seen the appearance of the High Elves, and the biggest difference between the Night Elves is that they will have more or less facial lines on their faces, and you should be able to see them later. As for the Blood Elves, I haven't seen them either, but they are said to resemble the High Elves in appearance. But their temperament is very different, and they can be recognized at a glance. Jian Yu said.
"But as an elf, this prince didn't even pay any attention to the night elf's boy being put up for public auction. Lin Yue felt a little sad for the girl.
"Okay, let's take a look, this elf girl. You can get ready to bid, the reserve price is 10,000 gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 each time!" said the auctioneer and pulled off the red step that was covered.
Everyone also saw what was under the cloth, a huge rectangular iron cage, and in the cage was an elven girl with pointed and long ears. The maiden was minimally dressed, and large swaths of snow-white skin were exposed to countless greedy eyes. She looks very beautiful, and on her cheeks, there are two light gray facial lines.
Seeing the girl in this cage, the adventurers below cast burning glances, and many fantasized about what it was like to have a maid of the elf clan. Just when the people below were still hesitating to bid and try their luck, the VIP box on the second floor took the lead in bidding.
"Twenty thousand, I want this girl. Gu Xiaoshan's voice came, and he could hear that he was determined to succeed this time.
"Twenty-five thousand, I don't know if Gu Da Shao can cut his love?" Another voice came, it was the first chamber of commerce in the mainland, the young master of the tribal business house spoke.
The two of them were obviously very interested in this elf girl, and sparks sparked in an instant, and you kept bidding for me. The price was quickly called to 45,000 gold coins by the two, and just when everyone was about to watch the excitement, a voice came.
"Fifty thousand, I want it. ”
