During the break, a target had been brought up on the auction table.

In the middle of the target, this manganese steel ingot was placed, and at the same time, three staff members with different bows and crossbows stepped forward and opened a distance of ten steps.

Seeing that the preparation was complete, Feroz continued to explain.

"The first step is to test the defensive ability of manganese steel, the foot bow, the longbow, and the imperial crossbow, these three weapons must be familiar with their power all year round, and now we start testing with the foot bow."

"The arrows and crossbows used are all iron armor-piercing arrows of uniform standards, and friends who are not at ease can come up to check and prove their authenticity."

After saying that, a few people in the audience really got up from their seats and went to the stage to inspect the equipment and weapons for the test.

After confirming that there was no fraud, he shook his head and stepped off the stage to continue watching.

Verification of this item is necessary to prevent anyone from deliberately causing trouble in the future.

"Alright, let's get our archers started."

With a command from Ferroz, the prepared staff raised their bows to aim at the manganese steel.

Everyone in the audience waited silently for the arrow to be fired.

One second, two seconds......

Just when everyone was about to wait, the archers finally let go of the bowstring, and the arrows flew out with a whizz.

"Bang ......"

But unfortunately, the arrow did not hit the target, but pierced the edge of the manganese steel ingot accurately.

"Appeal ......"

The clumsy performance made everyone in the audience burst into boos, and some even shouted loudly.

"Don't mess with this, Feroz, hurry up and test it well."

"Every time I test this hand, I'm tired of watching it, hurry up!"

……

Listening to the complaints from the audience, Ferroz smiled helplessly and motioned for the archers to continue.

The archer's second arrow didn't deflect again, and hit the palm-sized manganese steel ingot just right.

"Ding-clang-"

The pleasant sound of metal colliding and falling sounds sounded before and after.

The prepared staff quickly aimed at the audience, so that they could better see the current situation of the manganese steel ingot.

On the silver-gray manganese steel ingot, there is only a trace of whitish marks at the moment, as for the dents? I'm sorry I didn't find out.

"Do you see clearly? The bow only left a mark at a distance of ten paces! ”

"What kind of metal is this, it's as hard as magic steel!"

……

After a brief look, Feroz motioned for the second round of longbowmen to shoot.

Replaced with a more powerful longbow, this time it still didn't shoot through, but it didn't leave only a white spot like the foot bow.

At least a thumbprint-sized dent was left on the manganese steel ingot, but even if it was placed on the manganese steel armor of the same thickness, it still did not shoot through

At this moment, everyone who came to the auction gasped, and the temperature in the venue suddenly rose by 0.1 degrees.

Then came the third round of testing, the Imperial crossbow, which was considered a controlled item and could only be equipped by the Imperial Army.

However, given that the auction house was directly subordinate to the city lord, and the city lord was an official official of the empire, it was not a problem to borrow a crossbow on the frontier.

Imperial crossbows are known for their powerful range and piercing ability, and everyone can't help but look forward to this test.

As the crossbowman pulls the firing radius, the air-tearing armor-piercing bolt hits the manganese steel ingot.

At the same time, the metal directly told the collision and splashed sparks, although it was only for a short moment, but everyone in the audience still observed.

As the staff slowly shifted the target to face everyone, everyone in the audience was shocked by the scene at this moment.

At this moment, the manganese steel ingot only had half-shot armor-piercing crossbow arrows, and judging from the thickness of the side, it should only be half-pierced.

At a distance of ten steps, the manganese steel ingot was able to exert such excellent performance, which made everyone present crazy.

The subsequent test was the manganese steel sword, as different iron swords and iron armor were cut and torn by the manganese steel sword, everyone on the field was already starting to raise money to try to shoot a manganese steel ingot.

"Okay, everyone already knows about the performance, I believe you can't wait, let's start the auction!"

"At present, there are only thirty-three copies of manganese steel ingots, including the one tested, each weighing one pound, a separate auction, the starting price per pound, hardware coins, and the minimum price increase is one silver coin!"

"Bid now, first manganese ingot!"

"Seven gold coins!"

"Seven golds and fifty silvers!"

"Nine gold!"

……

In just a few tens of seconds, the price of the first manganese steel ingot soared to eleven gold, and it is still rising.

But with such a high price, everyone was also thinking about whether it was worth it, and when it broke through the fourteen gold, everyone began to stop raising the price.

In the end, the first manganese steel ingot was hammered at the price of 14 gold and 67 silver, and the next auction tug-of-war was the remaining 32 pieces.

With each subsequent hammer turn, Goodern's ears seemed to be able to hear the clanging of gold coins clashing in his ears.

He didn't expect this thing to be so popular here, and although everyone regained their senses a little, the unit price of manganese steel ingots remained above the price of twelve gold.

As the number of manganese ingots decreased, those who did not obtain, or wanted more manganese ingots, slowed down the pace of auctions.

The auction time of manganese ingots alone is more than three times that of the previous items combined.

With the last manganese ingot sold, Gooden's pupils had changed to the shape of a gold coin.

Although the total price was not carefully calculated just now, according to this quantity and price, the final transaction price was at least four hundred gold coins or more.

This completely exceeded his expectations, you must know that there are still manganese steel armor and manganese steel sword behind the two big guys who have not been sold.

"I have seen everyone's enthusiasm for manganese steel ingots, and then I will not waste time, the next lot, manganese steel armor!"

"The starting price, fifty gold coins! The minimum price increase is 1 silver coin at a time! ”

Instead of setting the starting price at 20 gold coins, Ferroz changed it to 50 gold coins.

Goodern didn't care about this, after all, he didn't expect this thing to be so popular.

Now it will not affect anyone if it is set at fifty gold coins, and if you want to buy it, you can naturally afford this price.

As the auction began, the price of fifty gold did not stop the fanatical crowd, and someone directly pushed its price to sixty gold at the beginning.

After rounds of shouting, at the price of seventy-four gold and sixty-six silver, it was finally won by the merchant who made the first auction of the strengthening potion.

The last manganese steel sword, quoted for thirty gold, was finally taken by a lord at the price of fifty-five gold and forty-one silver coins.

At this point, all the items auctioned by Goodborn have been sold.

Taking advantage of the fact that the popularity has not yet fallen, Ferroz directly began to bid for the last lot, iron ore!
