Chapter 7: 5000 gold
The time of the auction is at night, and I don't know if it is dark and windy, so it is convenient for some people who have bought special things to hide and run away, so I chose this time point.
During the day, Lu Xi had a good rest and prepared for staying up late at night.
There weren't so many people needed for the auction, it was still Marco who drove, Xiuge followed, and the others stayed at home and were arranged by Lu Xi to do things.
It's not a thing to stay at home all day, there are so many people, it's much better to do anything casually than to stay.
Leaving two people to stay at home and watch the house, the others were arranged by Lu Xi to go out to find out the price, the common ones such as how much is a barrel of golden ale wine, what is the difference between the quality and the price of good and bad, and the uncommon ones such as how much is a certain piece of jewelry, and what type of jewelry is the most expensive and popular.
No matter what kind of transaction you do, understanding the market price is a must, and Lu Xi can be regarded as laying a good foundation for himself in advance.
Moreover, there are more people sent out, and Cross who is mixed in it is not conspicuous, compared to him, an ordinary person with the status of a slave, or this group of low-level elemental warriors, it is more eye-catching.
However, slavery status is not a completely bad thing, in most cases it depends on whose slave it is, anyway, in this Muhatta town, Miss Lucy's slave, that is really no one dares to offend.
The Warners auction house I went to this time was larger and more prosperous than the one I went to last time, and it was more prosperous.
However, it may also be a bonus to the auction.
In addition to the nobles who were dressed in rich and gorgeous clothes, Lu Xi also saw many mercenaries with weapons and leather armor, some of them were not good-looking and looked very ordinary, and some were not easy to mess with at first glance.
At this time, Xiuge also changed into his set of silver knight armor, and after standing beside Lu Xi, most of his eyes disappeared at once.
Lu Xi was not ready to be watched like a monkey outside, so he entered the auction house with an invitation.
The waiter at the door, who was in charge of inspecting the invitation, immediately greeted Lu Xi with a warm smile when he saw him.
didn't even glance at the invitation, and took Lu Xi to the top lounge of the auction.
Lu Xi glanced at the invitation letter in her hand, which was at most an ordinary level, smiled, didn't care too much, in terms of her identity, it was normal to be arranged with special attention.
The top VIP lounge is really different from the ordinary lounge, Lu Xi looked around, and when he entered the door, he saw a large and soft sofa, facing a crystal wall.
And this crystal wall, impressively a "display screen", is showing the scene on the auction table, at this time the auction has not yet started, the auction table is still empty, no one goes up, only a shelf stands alone.
On the left wall is a bookshelf, on which are placed a lot of books and many exquisite decorations, if the customer likes it, they can be directly paid to take away, but also a form of publicity and sales.
And on the right, there is even a separate small bedroom with a large bed that can be used to sleep and rest, or do some other things.
Two waiters, a man and a woman, stood next to the sofa, both young and beautiful, Lu Xi could let the two of them leave one to do some trivial chores, or they could leave one and let them all wait at the door.
Of course, it's okay to want to stay with both, and it's okay to do something if you want to.
Lu Xi left the female waiter, sitting on the sofa, with a few items on the coffee table, a set of exquisite and luxurious tea sets, and a list of items for the auction...... And a thing like an air conditioner remote control or something.
Lu Xi fiddled with his hand and found that it was multi-functional, such as during the auction, you can use this remote control to set the amount to auction the goods, and press the button below to summon the waiter to come over to serve.
It can also be used to control the crystal wall in front of you, just like a camera, to control the content displayed on the crystal wall.
For example, under the auction, those who did not sit in the separate lounge and showed up in the open, if someone auctioned a certain item, and Lu Xi was curious, he could control the crystal wall to point at the person who had photographed the object to see who he was.
Conversely, the group of people sitting at the bottom of the auction table would have a hard time wondering who had taken the auction of the people in the separate lounge.
The lounge is also divided into grades, the lowest lounge, in fact, is a single room on the second floor of the auction table, the room door number is fixed, although you can't see who is auctioning in the room on the spot, but after the investigation, you can easily find out.
Lu Xi is in the top VIP lounge, this level of lounge does not appear in the line of sight of the auction table, it is all broadcast in real time by the crystal wall.
Each VIP lounge will randomly change the room number at each auction, as well as a random auction number, whether there are guests in it, will arrange for waiters to enter it, and arrange the corresponding auction number, and even let the waiters conduct an auction once or twice, so as to increase the confusion and make people think that there are people in it.
This is also to better protect the privacy of the lounge guests, making it difficult to detect who actually bought the item.
Of course, there will also be VIP room guests who don't mind revealing their identities, so they can choose to put their own image or some pattern markings, and reveal their auction number on a crystal wall directly opposite the auction table.
Lu Xi glanced at the room "No. 1" arranged by the auction house, and then at his own auction number "0001".
I really didn't plan to hide my identity for her.
But fortunately, Lu Xi is not the one who disguises his identity, and he doesn't plan to buy any prohibited auction items, so he is naturally not afraid of this kind of public auction.
The female waiter gently asked Lu Xi what drink she wanted to drink, what flavors of dim sum she liked, and what service she needed.
Lu Xi was flipping through the list of auction items, and waved her hand to let Xiuge arrange it at will, the list in her hand was much more complete than the one given by the jewelry store owner.
The list of auction items given by the owner of the jewelry store only has information about items related to jewelry and jewelry, while Lu Xi has all the auction item information in his hand.
Including those items that were not made public, the introduction of the items was clearly written on the list of items in Lu Xi's hand, and Lu Xi, who was detailed in the content, swept his eyes and couldn't finish it.
The auction starts at 11 p.m. and ends after 6 a.m., with more than 100 lots in total.
It's no wonder that there is a bed for rest in the VIP lounge, probably because I am afraid that the VIPs will not be able to stay up late, so they will lie down and rest when there is nothing good in front of them, and then get up when they get the lot they want.
However, Lu Xi has been resting for a long time during the day, and now he is in good spirits, and it is not a problem to stay up all night.
Jewelry and the like make up half of the auction items, after all, the theme this time is jewelry-related.
Lu Xi only looked at the information of a small half of the auction items, and a figure appeared on the crystal wall in front of him, a very beautiful female host, wearing a bandeau short skirt dress that exposed her arms, big white legs, neck and most of her breasts.
There was a sudden applause of unknown meaning from below.
The female host didn't mind, the smile on her face didn't change, and she cleared her throat and opened her mouth to introduce.
"Welcome to the auction held by Warners, I am the host Lily......"
Lily is mostly a pseudonym, the kind that is easy to remember, but no one cares about it.
As a warm-up, Lily first had five stones of different sizes brought out, packed in different transparent containers, and displayed them in all directions.
"This is the Suer tart stone, everyone should have heard of it, the famous amethyst gemstone, from the inside of this stone."
"Because of the elemental absorption characteristics of the tart stone, it is difficult to detect whether there is an amethyst gemstone in it, so it is also called the 'stone of destiny'."
"It's like no one knows if a piece of tart stone is open and it's empty, or if it's filled with a whole piece of amethyst gemstone."
"Our Warners Auction House has its own means, and we have determined that there are amethyst gemstones inside these pieces of Tartstone, but the size of them depends on luck, do any guests want to try their luck tonight?"
The host Lily introduced hard, attracting the attention of the guests below.
Lu Xi understood half of what he heard, this thing is like a gambling stone on the earth, if he is lucky, he will open a piece of imperial green, and if he is unlucky, he will still be a stone when he cuts to the ground.
The host, Lily, was also able to speak, and soon said that several mercenaries and a minor nobleman under the auction table had bought these stones.
Then he put the faces of the people, and opened the five sorrel tart stones at the same time.
It is true that the five stones have seen the color, but there are two people who are not very lucky, and only a small piece of amethyst gemstone is not to mention, and the color is not very good, and there is a small loss.
One of the ordinary-looking mercenaries had the best luck, and he picked a small piece of Zhu'er tart stone, and unexpectedly opened the largest amethyst gem, which suddenly doubled the price dozens of times and made a profit.
After seeing this exaggerated amethyst gemstone, the atmosphere under the auction table was instantly heated up.
Lu Xi glanced at the mercenary who had attracted countless envious, jealous and hateful eyes, but couldn't help but shake her head, this is not professional, she can see it at a glance.
There are a lot of smart people like Lu Xi, but it doesn't matter, after all, this performance is to stir up the atmosphere, and the purpose is enough.
The name was still at the bottom and said, "It's useless for me to keep this amethyst gem, I'll shoot it here, host Lily, you help me ask, whoever wants it, I'll sell it now!" ”
Lu Xi understood, it seems that this amethyst gemstone is the first lot.
Although the amethyst gemstone is called an amethyst gemstone, in fact, the color is very colorful and colorful, and the reason why it is called this name is only because the first person to open the tart stone of Suer opened a purple crystal gemstone.
As for the role of the amethyst gemstone, just look at the crystal wall in front of Lu Xi, as well as the crystal card she got before with five thousand gold coins.
Because it has very good elemental power absorption and release properties, amethyst gemstones are a very important elemental material and the most versatile currency.
Lu Xi had no interest in the amethyst gemstone, and continued to look down at the introduction of the items behind.
After the host Lily sold this large amethyst gemstone, the official auction began on the current excitement.
A gemstone bracelet was served, and the host Lily directly put it on her white wrist, using her body as a booth to show everyone what this gemstone bracelet looked like.
I have to say that the effect is really good, and in an instant, two noble ladies pressed the auction button, and then someone joined in from time to time and pressed twice.
The first lot was not expensive, and it was sold for about the same price in a few minutes, and then the host Lily began the follow-up auction.
Jewelry such as necklaces, anklets, bracelets, etc., are all worn by Lily Host for display, and it is no wonder that she is wearing such revealing clothes, otherwise how can she bring out those jewelry.
Even Lu Xi is willing to take a few more looks and appreciate it.
Almost an hour passed, and Lu Xi came to her senses, and the handbag auction item she was waiting for finally arrived.
The handbag, which is already the finale in jewelry, has already come out in the first two hours, although it is the theme of jewelry, but the real finale has to look at other things.
“…… This was originally a member of the Rollert family......" Lily introduced the handbag, and there was a commotion under the auction table on the first floor, most of whom didn't know much about the inside story, and asked each other about it.
Although the Rollert family has an unusual status in the Kingdom of Trumini, not everyone has heard of this name, especially these mercenaries, they don't care about noble names that have nothing to do with them.
It's like there are countless people in this kingdom who don't know that the name of the current king of the kingdom of Trumini is "Philmester Rolette".
There was silence in the various VIP rooms, waiting for someone's move.
Lu Xi pressed the auction button, leaned on the back of the sofa, and waited for the follow-up others to follow, while calculating how many gold coins he had to give up in order not to collapse his personality.
However, after waiting for more than a minute, no one pressed the auction button.
The host of Lily also seems to have been arranged, and did not delay the time to let others follow, and knocked down the hammer of "auction success" happily and neatly.
Lu Xi's face was slightly stunned, and she quickly reacted, I am afraid that these people in the VIP room present already know her identity.
The owner of the Soul Farm...... and the young lady of the Lorlett family.
These people originally wanted to curry favor with Lu Xi, thinking of having a relationship with Lingyu Farm, but they finally saw Lu Xi filming things, and they were still fighting in a hurry, so they were not making trouble for themselves.
It is estimated that when they found a handbag with the label "Rollert Family" in the auction item, many people were thinking that if Miss Lucy did not plan to auction it, they would auction it themselves and give it to Miss Lucy.
That's why they're waiting for news from Lounge One.
And these people on the first floor, not to mention whether they want to auction this handbag, it is estimated that even if there is, the auctioneer in their hands will be invalid at this time.
Lu Xi's expression was wonderful, the handbag she sold for 5,000 gold coins was actually back in her hand at this time, at an auction price of 5,000 gold coins.
I had nightmares and was so stressed
