Chapter 39: Wool at the Auction
The auction house was very efficient, and it didn't take long for a table of dishes to be delivered to the room.
At the same time, today's auction list was also delivered, and Goodern was eating lunch while checking the auction brochure.
The auction is held once a month, so in terms of quantity and quality, it is natural that we cannot expect much.
But the items that can be auctioned are also some good things.
However, the rarity of the items in this auction exceeded Goodern's expectations.
In addition to the regular potion equipment, there are also rare magic items!
And the items placed in the final auction, in addition to his manganese steel ingots and series of equipment, the last auction item turned out to be a small iron ore?!
In addition to auctioning manganese steel for money, Goodwin also had a mission when he came to Jinyuan City, which was to buy iron ore and horses.
Now that there was a ready-made iron ore factory in front of him, Goodern's mind quickly began to wonder if he could afford to eat it.
While thinking in his head, Goodern was also looking at the description in the auction brochure.
"Huh? The starting price is 200 gold coins? ”
Seeing the price, Gooden was a little surprised, this thing is iron ore, alas, it can be put up for auction by the auction house, which means that there is no problem with iron ore.
But this pricing is a bit abnormal, and in the case of multitasking, Gooden quickly glanced at the mine introduction.
After a brief look, Goodern suddenly realized.
Because of the topography, this iron ore is difficult to mine, and the daily output is extremely low.
For every ton of iron ore mined, you have to lose two gold coins, and you must know that the market price of one ton of iron ore is only between 2.2 gold coins and 3 gold coins.
It is too expensive to keep a mine in the case of making ends meet, so I have no choice but to take it out for auction.
Glancing at the seller and the location of the mine, Goodern was stunned.
Matsukai no Mori, Mt. Hitana.
Isn't this the domain of the Rantga family?
This unlucky family and Charleson have joined forces to pit him, and now he has a manganese mine, and now an iron mine?
After a moment's thought, Goodern turned to ask Joseph Sr.
"Where is Mt. Hitani in Matsukai no Mori?"
Putting down the knife and fork, old Joseph thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, it's just a little northwest of the manganese mine, what's wrong?" ”
"Look at the last lot."
Goodern handed the manual to Joseph Sr. and feasted on it.
Not to mention, the chefs in this auction house are not bad, and this is the first time he has eaten an authentic local meal since he came to the other world.
Old Joseph here, after reading the introduction of the iron ore at the end, also showed a trace of surprise on his face.
"Young master, do you want to shoot this iron mine?"
"Well, compared to buying iron ore, getting your own iron ore is definitely not a loss in the long run."
"Although there are mining problems in this iron mine, it is not a big problem, and the most important problem now is with the Lantega family."
Goodern did not know if the Rantga family had been involved in the attack on him.
If so, he is very likely to be harassed by the other party in subsequent mining.
After listening to Goodern's words, Old Joseph muttered for a moment and said slowly.
"If we get rid of the two problems of mining and capital, we can really try to shoot this mine."
"As for the question after that, if the Lantega family still wants to develop in this area, they still want this face."
"After all, each lord family has more or less some property in the territory of other lords, in order to target us and make this bad start, without us coming forward, other families will also unite to put pressure on the Rantga family."
Goodern didn't know anything about this kind of political problem between the native lords.
But after listening to Joseph Sr.'s words, the first doubt in his mind could be dispelled.
The next question is whether he has enough funds to shoot the iron ore.
Now Gooden doesn't have a penny on him, and if he wants to auction the iron ore, he can only look at the sales of manganese steel.
Selling at the current price tag, it wouldn't be a problem to scrape together two hundred gold coins, but if someone bids with him, it won't be enough.
After lunch, the auction was almost at the beginning of the day, and Goodern sat on a soft chair on the side of the balcony and looked out over the auction site.
"Welcome to the monthly auction in Jinyuan City, as everyone's old acquaintance Feroz, I won't introduce too much, the auction has officially begun!"
"The first item is from the alchemist His Excellency Reynolds, and its effect is probably heard by everyone here."
"Body-strengthening potion, eight times a night is still shaking! A group of three bottles, a total of five groups, each group starts at a gold coin, and each increase is a minimum of one silver coin! ”
"One gold and thirty silver!"
"Add twenty!"
……
Looking at the fiery shouts from the audience, Gooden couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, things like viagra are really scarce everywhere.
Although it is a strong name, what is the use of it......
In a short time, all five groups of body-strengthening potions were auctioned at an average price of two gold and thirty silver.
After the opening warm-up, the heat of the auction items was carried out at a very fast speed under the operation of Feroz.
There are a total of twenty-seven items in this auction, except for the last two major auctions, one is iron ore and the other is manganese steel, and the rest of the items are only magic props, which makes the scene fall into fierce competition.
As the Orrea Empire, which advocates force, although the development of magic is inferior to that of the magic-based Vimar Empire, the attitude of its people towards magic is still very curious and yearning.
Owning a magic prop, that's even if you bring a luxury item among luxury goods, and take it out with pride and face.
As for its role? That's not something for those of them to think about.
After a fierce competition, the magic item was finally taken away by a merchant for forty-two gold coins.
After this brief orgasm, Feroz announced.
"Let's take a short break to prepare for the waiting lots, and please understand."
For the penultimate manganese steel ingots and equipment auctioned, everyone is actually very curious.
What is it capable of ranking behind a magic item and being sold as the penultimate finale.
With a short break and a set-up on the stage, Ferroz re-announced the start of the auction.
"According to the information provided by the seller, the items to be auctioned next are called manganese steel ingots, as well as manganese steel armor and manganese steel swords made from manganese steel ingots."
"After the auction appraisers tested it, the manganese steel ingots were able to achieve excellent hardness and toughness without any help."
"Since this is the first time you have heard about this particular metal, one copy of the manganese steel ingots will be selected for the test performance in this auction, and then distributed at random."
"If the trial version is drawn, the auction house will advance 10% of the auction funds."
After a brief explanation, Ferroz shouted loudly.
"Then I invite you to take a closer look at this amazing special metal!"
With the order of Ferroz, the prepared staff began to test the performance of the manganese steel ingot according to the preset.
