Chapter 8: The Personality of the Auctioned Orc
Soon a waiter knocked on the door and brought the handbag.
Lu Xi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar handbag, and he didn't even have much interest in the lot below.
Looking left and right, it was much cleaner and better maintained than the time I spent with her.
If you include the cost of maintenance, Warners Auction House is estimated to have lost a lot.
However, Lu Xi didn't continue to think about it, anyway, the benefits lost from her would always be made up by someone from other places.
The auction was still going on, and Lu Xi just stared at the handbag for a while before putting it away.
And with this handbag on the field, and then a few pieces of jewelry, the last jewelry row of the finale appeared.
"Siren's Tears" is the name of this gem.
I don't know if the Kraken will shed tears, but that's how the name came up anyway.
It is said to be a gem obtained from the hands of a kraken in the deep sea, and it not only has a very beautiful blue color belonging to the deep sea, but also has the affinity of the water element, and can moisturize the skin at any time when worn on the body, making the skin smooth and delicate like water.
Even if it is not explicitly stated, this propaganda is similar to being able to "stay young forever".
The first wave of the auction instantly became atmospheric, and before the guests under the auction table on the first floor could see clearly, the auction buttons from various VIP rooms had been lit up dozens of times.
The price soared from the lowest 100,000 gold coins, and in less than five minutes, it had already rushed to three digits.
Of course, there were also people who were paying attention to the movements in VIP Room One, and if Miss Lucy was really interested in this gem, these people present would have to think about it.
Fortunately, there was no movement in Room 1, which made some people both disappointed and relieved.
As everyone knows, the waitress has been separated, and only herself and Miss Lucy, who is Xiuge, are left in the room, and she is dumbfounded when she looks at the price.
"Just such a jewel, as far as it goes? It's not good to use so much money for what," Lu Xi shook his head, completely incomprehensible, it was more than a million gold coins.
Xiuge didn't care, in the auction in Central City, there were no auction items with tens of millions of gold coins as the base, they were all to be looked down upon, and the gems that were only one million gold coins were average.
Miss Lucy's values have been affected since she was lost.
After Lu Xi finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the 100,000 gold coins given by the mayor of Crocker Town, and couldn't help but look strange, "In this way, he doesn't seem to give much." ”
At that time, she still felt that 100,000 gold coins was a lot, and this was not the same as eating a banquet on the earth and following a few thousand yuan.
Mayor Snicker, what a slam on the door.
However, it is true that Mayor Sench did not cause any actual damage to the Spirit Farm, and gave 100,000 gold coins, which means that it is just that.
The last person to make a bid, waited for more than a minute, and no one raised the price, and the disappointment in Lily's eyes was not obvious and knocked the hammer under his hand.
Seeing this expression of the host Lili, Lu Xi guessed that the last bidder should be the second young master of the auction house.
A handbag that was originally booked was handed over, so it must have to shoot other things to curry favor with Mayor Julie.
Lu Xi glanced at her backpack, and estimated that if she hadn't taken it, she should have been able to auction it for a price of more than 100,000 gold coins - the bonus of the Rollert family, and the second young master's arch fire price.
More than 100,000 gold coins and 1,320,000 gold coins that had just been sold on the auction table...... Lu Xi shook his head, this second young master is really a loser.
The jewelry auction has ended, and the host Lily has spoken for more than two hours, bowed to the bottom of the auction table, said a few good words, and replaced it with another host.
The new host is a man, and his clothes are not as thin as Lily's host, after all, he doesn't need to wear them on his body to display the lot here.
Lu Xi glanced at the time, at half past two in the morning, the big head of this auction finally began.
The revelry of the nobles has passed, and next, there is the excitement of the mercenaries.
The male presenter, Johns, is also very good at talking, which is probably a necessary skill for auction hosts.
A whole monster's bone was lifted up, heralding the transformation of the auction item.
"Everyone, please see, this is the bone of the mid-level monster Iron Bone Thorn Tiger, the whole is quite complete, there is no damage or destruction, and it was received by our auction house at a large price."
"I believe you also know that the bones of the Iron Bone Thorn Tiger are very good elemental materials for forging weapons, and such a complete set of bones is even more difficult to find, and can even forge a complete set of armor and weapons."
"To tell you the truth, as a good start, the guest who auctioned this pair of iron bones and thorny tiger bones, our auction house is willing to help forge it at a tenth of the price."
There was a shout from under the auction table, and Johns duly released the auction price, which was lively enough as his first lot.
Lu Xi noticed that there were very few people in the VIP room who pressed the auction, and Xiuge smiled, "Something like this, Miss Lucy, if you want it, talk to the family, there will be dozens of monster bones to be selected, and there is no need to grab them in the auction at all." ”
The family power of the nobles can be inherited for so many years, and most of the background is sufficient, not to mention the inventory in the family treasury, it is needed, and it is more convenient to directly let people find more suitable monsters to hunt and kill, and then forge them into weapons.
At the auction, these things are only bought by the mercenaries, although most of them are also auctioned by the mercenaries.
However, some of the emerging minor aristocrats, or merchants, will also get involved, they are not short of money, but they need something that can be turned into force or something else, and the auction is the most direct way.
In addition to the monster's bones and some special elemental materials, Lu Xi also saw a lot of monster cubs and monster eggs being auctioned.
The kind of monsters that can be used for transportation, or have strong combat power, are mostly taken away by mercenaries, and some good-looking and expensive ones are only bought by nobles.
Lu Xi was dazzled, and there was Xiuge, a well-informed knight, beside him as an explanation, which greatly increased his knowledge.
What made Lu Xi a little tempted to auction was a silver wolf cub, only more than half a month old, still drinking milk, and his eyes were not completely opened.
originally thought that this silver wolf cub was living a hard life in captivity, but after listening to the host's introduction, it was found that the parents of the silver wolf cub were in the auction house, and now that the auction is complete, it will not be sent immediately, but will wait for the silver wolf parents to feed until they can eat independently before sending it.
Looking at it again, the life of the silver wolf's parents is better than that of most civilians, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they are taken care of every day, and the aristocratic lady who auctioned it also said that she will arrange a pasture for the family, and then come to pick up the silver wolf cubs home.
In comparison, Lu Xi actually felt that his treatment of Xiaoyuan was already "abuse".
The corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and Lu Xi sighed at the sky.
Boredom, Lu Xi picked up the auction list that he had just read halfway through, and then read on.
happened to be auctioned off to the item she was looking at, Lu Xi was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly.
Originally, the name of the auction item was "Ice Blood Dragonbone", which at first glance sounded like a dragon, but it was actually a plant, and it is said that it was named because dragon blood dripped on it, which gave it the same hard characteristics as a keel, and because it grew on an iceberg.
Dragons are a very distant existence for humans, and although dragons have always been involved in various human history, they are not actually so related.
For example, in some stories and legends of dragons destroying human cities, only a small number of them are real dragons, and most of them are other high-level monsters, which are given the title of "so-and-so dragon" because of their strength, and over time, dragons have almost become fixed villains in human stories.
Lu Xi was a little surprised when she heard Xiuge say this, because most of her knowledge of the other world came from the brief contact between books and the dragon hunting mercenary group.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that books are the most deceitful.
Xiuge had already known the identity of Mao Hao, and he didn't show any special reaction to Mao Hao, but at this time, Xiuge still reminded Lu Xi.
"Dragons are not trustworthy companions."
There are many reasons, such as the dragon's personality is too arrogant, and it is difficult to put the existence of other races ...... Even dragons of the same race put it in the eyes.
For example, some monsters can be convinced, if you can win it, it will recognize you and think that you are its boss, but the dragon is different, if you win the dragon, the dragon will feel "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor".
Even if it is the dragon's parents and elders, the dragon will only feel that "you beat me now, and when I grow up, you won't be able to beat me", rebellious, very rebellious.
This is also the reason why dragons almost always live alone, and they rarely go to other dragons' territory except during estrus.
Some monsters can be fed, for example, if you are good to it, it will remember to be grateful and protect you as a family member, but dragons are different, if you are good to dragons, dragons will feel "just ants, quite conscious", and dragons may protect you when they are in danger, but the reason is "don't touch my men".
It may be a little different from other dragons because of the different hatching experiences, but the things in the dragon's bones can't be changed.
For example, if Lu Xi accidentally falls from the sky, replacing it with a small edge is something that will never happen.
However, Xiuge didn't have much opinion on Lu Xi to raise a dragon, because the dragon's growth period was too long, and when Mao Miao grew up to the rebellious age of "turning against Lu Xi", it would be at least a hundred years later, and Lu Xi would not necessarily have many years at that time.
Of course, the main reason why Xiuge has no opinion on Mao Hao is that he has met some of the predecessors of the Royal Knights, and their partners are some fierce monsters that are said to be "completely untamable".
can look at the way they get along, but they can't see where the "untamable" is.
Therefore, it is uncertain what it will become, and Xiuge will not be like those elders in the family who are old and like to think about things, pointing fingers at Lu Xi and Mao Hao's affairs.
This is probably the difference between young people, who think about danger, cost-effectiveness, and many things, while young people only have "why not try it" in their minds.
Even if you can't be pitted in the end, you can wipe the dust off your face and start over.
As for what the general public was worried about, regarding the danger of dragons, Xiuge didn't care at all, not to mention the so many protective elemental magic weapons and elemental magic circles in the family.
Let's just say that those high-level elemental warriors and elemental mages with titles can at least fight with the dragon and protect the family.
This is the confidence from the top nobles, but in a country, there are only one or two nobles of this level, and not all nobles have this kind of confidence.
Besides, Xiuge was young and full of talent, and he only felt that he would be able to enter the threshold of a high-level elemental warrior in less than two years, and he would be able to fight with the dragon at that time, what would he be afraid of?
With him to protect Luxi, what's wrong with raising a dragon?
Lu Xi didn't know about these things, yawned, and continued to watch the auction below.
The sound of "bang-la-la-la" chains suddenly sounded.
Lu Xi woke up with a spirit, I don't know when she actually fell asleep, and Xiuge didn't even remind Lu Xi when she was on the side.
But also, Lu Xi didn't plan to buy anything, and fell asleep when he fell asleep.
Lu Xi raised her eyes to look at the crystal wall, it was the voice on it that woke her up just now, and Lu Xi was suddenly startled at this look.
It turned out to be an "orc" covered in chains, who was driven up to the auction table, and there was a loud noise.
This orc is different from Dralony of the Spirit Farm, most of Dralonie's body is more of the characteristics of monsters, and this orc is mostly human.
With a height of about two meters two, it looks like a small giant, but it is not particularly exaggerated height, and many humans can grow to such a height, even taller than him.
The muscles on his body bulged out, full of strength, and he was only wearing a pair of shorts all over his body, and Lu Xi seemed to hear the exclamations of many noble ladies and some noble lords in a trance.
She didn't know what it meant.
Only two horn-like things protruding from the top of his head, and a tail sticking out of his shorts behind him, could prove the orc's identity.
As you can see, this orc is covered in scars, and I don't know what he has been through.
I don't know when the new host has changed, and he is explaining this auction item.
"His name is Gree, and he is a low-level elemental mage among the orcs!"
There was a sensation for a while, because the "stupidity" of orcs was already a well-known thing, but as an orc, he could master elemental power and become a low-level elemental mage......
This is like a group of fools who haven't finished elementary school, and there is a high-achieving student who has been admitted to Qingbei.
The host also introduced that the chains on the orc's personality were used to curb elemental power, after all, he was a low-level elemental mage, and he couldn't let him run.
But because of the special body of the orc's personality and strong strength, he could directly break free from the chains contained by ordinary elemental power with his body, so he used so many exaggerated huge iron chains to restrict him.
Lu Xi looked at the orc personality who had been keeping her head down, probably just woke up, and her mind was not very clear, she couldn't help but think of the silver wolf cub that had just been auctioned.
A "human" who has the ability to think for himself and is so clever that he has mastered the magic of the lower elements through learning is actually tied up in chains and auctioned off like a rarity.
And the silver wolf cub who was still drinking milk, didn't pay anything, just because it was cute, he had a whole piece of pasture, as a future home, free and unfettered.
"I don't think I woke up yet." Lu Xi held his forehead and closed his eyes.
Don't take what the owner of the jewelry store said too seriously.
Doing business, there must be all kinds of exaggerations and exaggerations.
The handbag was not that valuable, and it was only after the departure of the Lorlett family that the value was increased.
When Lu Xi sold it before, it was a price of more than 20,000 gold coins at most.
The price of a pure luxury item will not exceed that of an elemental item with a special effect.
The most expensive thing is the luxury of elemental items.
It's the wizarding world, after all.
Other than that...... There's really no foreshadowing in handbags.
