Chapter 217: Auction House [4K]
The registration process of the slave catcher team is very simple, and it is even simpler with the signboard of Ryan, a nobleman, who has a green light all the way, and it is quickly resolved.
From now on, Kavin and them are slave hunters with a "regular" status, who can normally enter the Warcraft Mountains to hunt and obtain the qualification to stay in Bastille.
Of course, they are not charitable, and if you want to sell your prey, you need to pay a fee, which is based on the total value of your goods.
Then, there is an annual fee for the station in the city, which is expensive, but you can enjoy the protection of the city guard, and if you don't have a place to stay in the city, you will be evicted at night.
No matter how you say it, it is also part of the Warcraft Mountain Range, and there have been animal tides that have hit Bastille City in history, compared to their own safety, a little money is nothing, anyway, the mountains are full of "coins" that will run.
Conquering the mountain people is a task full of uncertainty, so Ryan also happily paid the residency fee for a year, which can be regarded as a retreat prepared for Kavin and them, and if the progress does not go well, he can also retreat with his whole body.
"Your lord, there are gladiatorial fights every day in the Bastille, but the auction is divided into time periods, and today there is only one auction house that buys and sells, and it is ......"
A short, flattering man was leaning over and patiently explaining to Ryan, but listening to his tone, it seemed that he was a little worried about Ryan's financial resources?
This is a bit of a contempt, although it is not comparable to the old nobles, but Ryan does not feel that he is not even qualified to participate in the auction.
So our Lord Ryan waved his hand and said angrily: "Leading the way in front is indispensable for your benefits." ”
Seeing that Ryan was so confident, the tour guide immediately smiled, and hurriedly respectfully led Ryan to the largest auction house in the city......
Now that he has come to the Bastille, Ryan naturally wants to take a good look at the "characteristics" here.
"Hey, this auction house is really not small." The fellow Carvin blew a rogue whistle lightly.
Seeing this, the tour guide hurriedly introduced: "You are right, this is the largest auction house in the city, and it once auctioned a team of mountain knights thirty years ago, and it was finally auctioned off by an earl. ”
"Knights?" Ryan couldn't help but glance at the auction house's signboard, in the kingdom of Tistan, whether a nobleman has a knight squad is an important criterion for measuring the heritage.
And the basic number of knight squads is also more than a dozen people, and some of the big nobles are at least hundreds, so that an earl can bid, how can the number of this squad be too small.
It's a place full of surprises and a lot of potential. Truth be told, it made Ryan's heart move, the slave trade, the wealth contained in it was amazing.
This strengthened Ryan's idea of subduing the mountain people.
"My lord, we came early, and if you enter now, you can get a good position, there are still a lot of surprises here." The tour guide rubbed his hands and smiled as much flattering as he could.
This is the meaning of pleading, Ryan is in a good mood today, and with a look, Kavin directly took a kindler and threw it into his arms and said, "You wait here, my lord will need you in a while." ”
"Eh, thank you for the noble lord's generous reward, the small one must not move his feet and wait for the lord." The tour guide looked at the golden Jindler, and his eyes were glowing with gold.
After so many years, although there are many masters who are generous, Jindeler is still very rare, let alone let him wait outside, let him kneel and wait!
Seeing that the flow of people gradually increased, after Lane paid the fees for the rest of the group, he was guided by the maid of the auction house to the box on the second floor, which was condescending and had a very good view.
People poured in one after another, most of them were merchants or representatives of nobles or the like, and real nobles like Ryan were a minority.
The auction house is oval-shaped and divided into two floors, with stepped seats below, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people, and boxes on the upper floor, which must be entered by nobles or heirs with titles.
It seems that most of them are regulars, and although there are a lot of people, it is very quiet, waiting for the auction to start.
Soon, the auctioneer twisted his graceful figure to the counter in the center under the gaze of everyone, and said in a charming voice: "Thank you for your support, I am the auctioneer Su Leifuya, and the auction will officially begin." ”
Soon, several heavily armed knights escorted two women in gorgeous long dresses up, both of whom were very proud, both of them were more than 1.7 meters tall.
The skeleton is slightly larger than that of the Tistans, and it is not so delicate, more like a steppe people, the skin is a healthy wheat color, and the eyes are a little more wild, but more of a numbness, obviously tortured enough.
Su Leifuya stretched out her fingers like tender onions to pick up the chin of one of them, and said with a smile like a flower: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first product of today, a pair of sisters."
They look exactly the same, but their personalities are worlds apart, one is as passionate as fire, the other is as cold as ice, they are all untouched, do any masters want to adopt? ”
She reached out and lifted the chin of the other person, exposing their beautiful faces to the public's eyes, most of them were men, and each had their own status, and women were never a scarce commodity to them.
But they had to admit that these two women were very beautiful, and they were very easy to provoke the most primitive desires of human beings, which made many people present almost lose their temper in public.
Even Ryan was a little amazed, and what is even more amazing is that these two girls are really just like the copied ones, and the similarity has reached 99%.
With his delicate eyesight, he could only see very subtle differences, which is very rare even in identical twins.
"How much money can two women sell, doesn't it mean that those who can go to the auction are all fine treasures?" Peter, on the other hand, seems to be immune to beautiful women, and is still thinking about the value.
"The reserve price of the twins is 1,000 silver Dele, and each increase shall not be less than 10 silver Dele, the highest price will be won, now please bid on it."
Su Leifuya stroked the hair around her ears, and her whole body exuded a charming aura, which instantly made many people "fall".
"I'll give one thousand five!" A pot-bellied rich businessman roared with fiery eyes.
"I'll give you two thousand!" In an instant, someone was not to be outdone.
"Three thousand!"
……
"This, this, this is forty kindlers? Are they made of silver? "Peter was a little puzzled, forty kindlers, that's enough to buy as many lives on the battlefield.
"This auctioneer is not just a vase, she should have some kind of charm and extraordinary ability, and ordinary people are afraid that they will be seduced by her just by looking at it."
Ryan's eyes were burning brightly, and he soon noticed that the guys below who were crazy about raising prices were affected.
"Charming, how dare they do this in front of everyone?" Kavin was surprised, you must know that the people who participate in the auction are either rich or expensive, and the auction house is not afraid of provoking public anger by doing this?
"Hmph, they haven't been bold enough to directly control these people present, it's just a normal breath leakage, and the people who are affected are all guys with weak concentration, even if they find out afterwards, they can only admit it themselves, the means are not clever, but people can't catch the handle."
Not to mention that people can do it to the first place in the Bastille, and with such an auctioneer, the price will at least be doubled.
Just as a few people were talking, the pair of sisters had been taken away by a nobleman on the second floor, and their identities were unknown, but they were indeed inhumane, and they bid eight thousand silver Dele, which was really sky-high for two slaves.
The latter few goods are not only slaves, but also treasures, armor, books, etc., plundered from some hill tribes.
The scene has been completely ignited, and so far there has not been a single unsold product, and Ryan also went down to bid for a heavy ancient book, spending more than a thousand silver Dele, which is really not cheap.
The back dozen pieces did not enter Ryan's eyes in a row, so he also resisted his profligacy.
"Next, we are going to auction a very special item, please take a look."
Everyone's eyes converged on her hand.
Several heavily armed knights carried a heavy iron cage with a large chunk of dark metal that made a dull noise when placed on the ground.
Many perceptual forces suddenly converged on this piece of metal, and it didn't take long for them to make a sound of surprise.
"Huh...... What's going on. Ryan withdrew his mental power, and his brow was almost furrowed.
"My lord, my spiritual power directly penetrated that piece of metal, it is a large piece of obsidian gold in every way, how could the auction house come up with such a commodity?" Carven had a strange look on his face.
"I don't see anything special." Ryan shook his head, his spiritual power far exceeded the rank of a great knight, but he didn't notice the slightest specialness.
"Madam, is your auction house making fun of everyone here, and dare to take out a piece of obsidian gold to waste everyone's time?"
In the box not far from Ryan, a slightly old voice sounded, asking this question on behalf of everyone present.
The identity of the other party was obviously very noble, and Su Leifuya saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, although this is only a piece of obsidian gold, it comes from the sky, and has been worshiped for decades in a large tribe of mountain people.
After dozens of professional treasure connoisseurs in our auction house took turns to appraise, as well as the calculations of the university, it was finally determined from the weight that it was likely to contain a thing, but it was difficult to cut, so the master decided to put it up for auction. ”
"Hmph." The man snorted coldly and fell silent again.
But Surefuya seemed nervous, and Ryan saw her body trembling slightly, which made him wonder who the other party was.
This auction house also has a great background, and there are not many people in the south who can influence here.
"Maybe? When did your auction house use this kind of uncertain phrase, and who knows what this thing can offer? ”
"That's right, obsidian is one of the most useless metals, even if it's such a large piece, it doesn't have much use value, did the money fall from the sky?"
Someone sprays directly, after all, the things in this auction house are not cheap, this kind of is the same as opening a treasure chest, or I don't know the probability that there is no guarantee, and everyone is fascinated.
After all, the finale auction items have not yet come out, so we must recuperate and preserve our strength!
"Please calm your anger, considering this uncertainty, so the auction house has decided not to set a reserve price, you can bid on your own, and the highest price will win."
Su Leifuya obviously took these situations into account for a long time, and explained very calmly, after all, this thing was not intended to sell for much money, so it was just a fool, even if it was a failed auction, it didn't matter.
Seeing him say this, everyone's anger was slightly subdued.
"Now, please bid freely."
……
Time passed minute by minute, but no one bid for a long time, and just as Suleifuya was about to announce the unsuccessful auction, a young voice finally spoke: "I will pay 500 silver Dele, and it would be good to go back and make a rockery and put it in the pool." ”
Su Leifuya was overjoyed, and there was a big rescue star (zhong) bid.
"Is there a master with a higher bid, if not, this item will belong to this master."
"There's really someone bidding, this can't be a trust, right?" Calvin speculated maliciously.
"Five hundred for the first time."
"Five hundred for the second time."
Just as the hammer in Surefuya's hand was raised, in the astonished gaze of Calvin, Ryan stood up and shouted, "I'll give you six hundred silver Dele." ”
"Your Excellency?" Carvin exclaimed.
"This old man is out of six hundred, is there anything higher?" Su Leifuya smiled like a flower, originally thought that it would be good to meet one, but she didn't expect that there would be a second one.
"This, are you deliberately trying to get along with me?" The man was in the box next to Ryan, and his voice was very frivolous, even a little arrogant.
"No offense, but it just so happens that I'm also interested in it." Ryan's tone was unhurried, and he didn't mean to back down in the slightest.
"Hehe, good, good. I'll give a thousand! The man smiled coldly, and then called the guard and said, "Go and find out who that guy is." ”
"I'll give a thousand five." Ryan also seemed to be angry and began to raise the price frequently.
The two of you went back and forth, and actually raised the price to a sky-high price of 5,000, and everyone looked at the two boxes like a big fool, and sighed that people were stupid and had a lot of money.
And at this moment, the pressure came here again, he already knew Ryan's identity, which made him feel that he had no pressure, and got up to bid again, but was held by the housekeeper on the side, and after some bitter words, this son-in-law ended this "farce".
In the end, this obsidian gold was sold for 5,000 silver deleters, becoming the top five auction items in the current unit price.
Why don't you keep following?
Seeing that there was no big injustice to continue, she had no choice but to drop the hammer and announce: "Then this auction item will belong to the master of box five." ”
