That extraordinary weapon was just an appetizer prepared by Hobert, and its normal value, in the usual transaction, would be only 2,000 gold riso.

Because of its scarcity, Hobert made it his first lot.

But at the auction, it's different, especially for these rich people who don't take a few thousand gold liso very seriously, after the atmosphere is baked, they are more like enjoying this bidding process.

The second lot is the extraordinary character of Sequence 7 "The Interrogator".

Because there are people from the royal family, Hobert explained: "Everyone should know that George III of Rune offered me a reward of 10,000 pounds, or 12,000 gold liso, for my head."

"There are a lot of people who don't know how to live or die who want to earn this high bounty, and they don't leave my territory.

"The second lot is the contribution of a team of mercenaries from the Kingdom of Rune, an extraordinary characteristic of the 'Inquisitor'."

The nobles were basically unable to look away, and the two royal families were extremely strict in controlling the extraordinary characteristics of this pathway, and the nobles often had only one middle-order extraordinary person in their families.

If anyone can get this extraordinary trait, the strength of the family will be greatly improved.

There are also some barons, several generations of Sequence 8, who are always looking for opportunities to get one step closer.

Their eyes became eager.

Hobert saw that he had almost fully attracted everyone's attention, so he immediately started the auction: "The starting price is 1,500 gold miles, and the price is 100 gold miles each time, and the auction starts now!" ”

A baron said lightly: "1800 gold riso!" ”

Hobert didn't expect it to be so intense as soon as it came up: "1800! 1800 once ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a viscount said flatly: "2500!" ”

Hobert smiled, "This gentleman who understands its value bids 2500!" 2500 at a time! ”

One of the counts also said in a flat tone: "3500! ”

Hobert's hand with the hammer trembled: It's still noble! Some of the extraordinary features of the not-so-selling Sequence 6, I almost have to sell them for this price.

Of course, Hobert also knows that being able to sell at this price has a lot to do with the right customer base he chooses.

If there was a group of nobles from the Republic of Intis, or the nobles of the Vorsack Empire, they couldn't have asked for such a crazy price!

Then, Hobert suddenly realized that the auction was a perfect match for extraordinary characteristics!

Of course, the premise is to find a good customer base, and if you are auctioning off an extraordinary feature of a "werewolf", then the most likely scenario is that the auction will fail.

Hobert was stunned, and the nobles had already asked for 5,000 gold liso!

"5000 for the first time! 5000 for the second time! Is there anything higher? 5000 for the third time! Hobert was just about to raise the hammer to make a deal, but Ethel, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly said in a flat tone: "8000!" ”

Everyone let out an exclamation together, they all knew that 5,000 gold was actually more than the value of the lot, even if they needed it very much, but after 5,000 gold liso, the wealthy nobles were not willing to continue to increase the price.

And Issel's bid is more like a deterrent: the extraordinary characteristics of this path are all royal family, and only by being effectively loyal to the royal family can you have a chance to be promoted.

Hobert on the stage was blinded by Ethel's operation, is this a malicious price increase? But Hobert likes such a tyrant very much!

After three consecutive inquiries, of course, there was no higher bid, so the lot was sold for a high price of 8,000 gold lisos.

Klein pondered: I wonder if there will be an auction in Tarot? It's infuriating! It was sold for 8,000 gold lisos, which is about 6,500 pounds! And none of the extraordinary traits of the "Facelings" that Hobart had acquired from me before were so expensive!

Hobert, of course, didn't know what Klein was thinking, and he was still concentrating on the auction.

The next few lots didn't make any waves, with one of the extraordinary properties of the "Barbarian", a number of spiritual materials previously captured from Gunkanjima, and two extraordinary materials carefully selected by Hobert.

There are 5 auctions in total, and the total transaction value is only 2,000 gold risso.

Finally, the long-awaited finale arrived: a Level 2 seal.

Whether it is the nobles, the extraordinary forces, or the royal family, they all pay attention to the collection of seals.

Hobert also has such a fetish, and now if you just look at the level 2 seal in his hand, he should be about to catch up with a family of extraordinary people with thousands of years of accumulation.

The lot is also scarce enough that for an ordinary extraordinary gathering, it is rare for a transaction of this level to occur.

Hobert showed everyone the colorful bracelet in the wooden box: "This is a very practical magical item, its ability is: it can use spiritual materials to create scrolls with effects such as freezing and paralysis, and there is a 10% probability of creating scrolls with extraordinary abilities through corresponding materials; The wearer's spirituality will be greatly increased. ”

"The key negative effect is not huge: it is just a great desire to acquire knowledge of the occult; Also, unless the wearer asks the 'Hidden Sage' for power, all ritual magic will fail. ”

It was captured by Hobert from the mercenary team that assassinated him, and it was a magical item from the "Voyeur" pathway.

"Everyone should know the scarcity of lots at this level, and today I will use it as the finale." Hobert said: "The starting price is 6,000 gold liso!" Each bid is 500 gold and the auction begins. ”

“7000！”

“8000！”

“9000！”

The price spike was so fast that it was only now that Hobert had a chance to interject: "9000!" This discerning gentleman went out to 9000! 9000 at a time! 9000 twice! ”

Darnell, who was sitting in the back row, bid: "12,000!" ”

"Hmm~"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and looked back to see who made the bid.

“14000！” Bishop Simpson followed.

This bid once again made everyone exclaim, this is enough to make people into the rich class of Fenerport City!

“16000！” Jonathan of the Gnosis Meeting!

After Darnell's bid, the nobles and the rich were silent, and only a few extraordinary organizations were left to bid, and the price became terrifying little by little!

At this time, Ethel shot again: "20,000!" ”

For her, money is really just some paper.

“21000！” Only Bishop Simpson followed, but he also looked a little lacking in stamina.

Ethel directly refused to give others a surviving land asking price: "23,000!" ”

Even Bishop Simpson was reluctant to follow.

And Klein, Foirth and the others in the corner were stunned, and they all wondered if they were mistaken: the exchange between the gold pound and the gold liso was 1 to 5? Or is it 1 to 6?

In the end, the bracelet was sold for a terrifying price of 23,000 gold liso, and some wealthy people who lacked the knowledge of the extraordinary were also very surprised, they really couldn't imagine what bracelet was worth so much! Is this what the aristocracy likes to play?

And Hobart on the stage realized that the step of building an auction house was really the right one!

An important concept of the reason why the price of the auction item is so high is its scarcity, which is the core of the auction, and as for the psychology of "rare opportunities" that Hobert said before, it is based on this core.

And extraordinary properties and extraordinary items are inherently hot awakening with scarcity.

Those who want to monopolize these extraordinary resources are also organizations like the royal family and the church that don't take money too seriously.

The reason why there are few extraordinary auctions is because it is difficult to solve the problem of legitimacy, and some extraordinary gatherings, such as the party initiated by Mr. A of the Aurora Club before, if they also dare to hold auctions, then it is estimated that the official extraordinary people will come to the door to check three waves a day, and it will not be until dark.

Hobert is definitely a special case, first of all, this is an auction in his own territory, and the official extraordinary can't control it.

Secondly, he himself is a Sequence 5, which is already a very strong extraordinary, and in the early stages of the auction house, he can offer enough lots.

This special case is difficult to replicate.

Hobert had long recognized this, so he hurriedly built the auction center.

Hobert was very satisfied with the results of this auction, and the auction alone generated him 36,600 gold in income this night.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that there are local tyrants like Ethel in this auction!

Auctions may not be as profitable in the future, but they will certainly attract many other transactions.

Hobert, for example, noticed that Darnell was already a little unable to sit still.

Moreover, this is Hobert's own channel for selling stolen goods, and there will be no channels for any loot to be sold in the future, and there is no need to let other forces make the difference.

This will be an important economic pillar for Hobart in the future.

Hobert smiled: "Don't be discouraged if you don't get a good deal, and there will be a big auction like tonight on the 29th of every month."

"Every month on the 5th, 15th and 25th, there will be a small auction.

"If you need to, you can leave your address when you leave tomorrow, and I will send you the main lot information in advance.

"Do you see that room? It's manned 24 hours a day, and if there's anything you need, you can go into that room and ask for it, and we'll take care of it for you.

"Finally, there is a second part of the auction: free trading!"

Another important source of income for auction houses is to use the popularity of auctions to conduct transactions outside of auctions.

Hobert certainly won't miss this great opportunity, and is ready to have a party of extraordinary people by the way after the auction.

He began to explain the rules: "If you have a need, you can call the waiter and write it down with the pen and paper we provided.

"If I can help with that, I'll ask you to stay after the party and we'll trade alone.

"If I can't help with a need, I'll read it out loud on stage and see if the other attendees can make a deal with you.

"If you need to keep it secret, I still recommend finding an opportunity to go to the room on the side of the hall and say what you want, or mark the word 'confidential' on the back of the note, and I'll keep an eye out for you.

"Okay, now the party begins!"

Dennis took the stage to remove the auction table and brought a chair to Hobert.

Most of the nobles had attended some of the extraordinary's gatherings, so they were no strangers to the rules of such gatherings.

Generally speaking, the notaries of such gatherings are powerful and extraordinary, and the second lot barely proves Hobert's strength, at least he is a Sequence 6, otherwise it would not be possible to kill a Sequence 7 so easily.

However, because it was the first party, everyone was still a little uneasy about Hobert's strength, so after more than half a minute, a nobleman tentatively wrote down a little urgent need of his own.

The lights in the audience were dim, and Hobert could only see that the other party was wearing a expensive suit, and he couldn't tell what level of aristocrat he was.

The waiter handed the note to Hobert and opened it to see that a complete multicolored leaf plant was needed.

Hobert smiled: "This gentleman needs an extraordinary material of the 9th level of the sequence, I can help solve it, please stay after the party, I will trade with you alone."

"Mr. One! This is the code name for the trade you will make in a moment! ”

"Complete Five-Colored Leaf Grass" is one of the main materials of the "Knowledgeable".

When Hobert accidentally snooped on the "Wildland of Knowledge" a long time ago, he obtained some "knowledge itself" at the cost of having his head blown open, as well as the potion recipe for Sequences 9 through 7 of the "Knowledgeable" pathway.

Among the trophies of the previous Dock Island, there was a "complete five-colored leaf grass".

Everyone saw that Hobert easily solved the first request, and then someone handed a note: What exactly is an extraordinary feature? Why are there extraordinary properties?

Hobert smiled, "This gentleman has asked an extraordinary question, and I can answer it as well, and it will cost 100 gold if I just give it a simple appearance, and if I want to explain the principle behind it, it will cost 1000 gold liso."

"Believe me, my asking price is very fair, because there are some questions that you can't get with money."

When Klein and Furth heard this, they felt a little familiar inexplicably.

Hobert continued: "Mr. Two! This is your codename, if you want to make a trade, please leave it after this party. ”

The atmosphere of the next transaction gradually became enthusiastic, and 12 more transactions were initiated, three of which were in the case of extraordinary questions.

There were 7 deals for Extraordinary Materials, and 2 deals for "low-sequence" potion recipes.

Of the 7 extraordinary materials needed, Hobert solved 4 by himself, and Hobert also had the two potion recipes here.

Originally, Hobert thought that the transaction of the first party might be cold, but he didn't expect that his accumulation of potion recipes, knowledge reserves, extraordinary material accumulation, etc., could already cope with such a party.

At such gatherings, of course, there will not be too many deals, but this can accumulate a large number of leads.

Today, a baron buys the Sequence 7 potion recipe, then tomorrow he may have to buy the extraordinary properties of Sequence 7, or he may have to sell some extraordinary materials or something.

In short, they are the key force that enlivens the extraordinary market.

After the party was over, and most of the onlookers had left, they had completed their private extraordinary transactions one by one, and at this time, only Furth and Donna were still waiting for Hobart in the auction building.

Donna greeted her with a smile and said, "Hobert, when my father left, he said that you were more business-minded than he and Rex. ”

Hobert smiled and said, "That's because I'm spending more than them, okay, we should go back and rest."

"Look, it's such a charming night outside, and I want to 'dance' with Folth."

Foirth glanced at Hobert with disgust, dancing had now become a code word between the two of them.

Donna on the side was a little strange, didn't she just dance? Are these two people laughing so happily?

It's just that today's affairs are not over yet, and as soon as he returned to the Lord's Mansion, Hobert saw Crane.

So Hobert asked Furth to go back first, and he invited Crane to his study.

As soon as he entered the study, Klein stated his purpose: "I should go back." ”

Huo Bo nodded: "Thank you for your help in the past two days, take a sip of tea, and I'll send you back." ”

Klein sat across from Hobert: "I was kind of eye-opening tonight, I didn't expect a Sequence 7's extraordinary characteristics to be sold for such a high price." ”

"I just found the right client." Hobert smiled: "The same extraordinary characteristics of the 'Interrogator', if I sell it to you, let alone 1800 pounds, 1200 pounds you have to consider it, because you don't need it." ”

Klein felt a little better in his heart, and the complaint he had just complained about was not that he was stingy, but that at this week's tarot meeting, Hobert had just spent 1,500 pounds to acquire a Sequence 7 level extraordinary trait from him.

Compared with 6,500 pounds (about 8,000 gold liso), it is too much difference, and it is inevitable that he will be a little unbalanced.

Hobert sighed and looked out the window: "We have different ways of developing, and now every day when I open my eyes, I have more than two thousand mouths waiting to eat, waiting to get a salary to support my family."

"What do you think the 8,000 gold is enough for?"

Klein didn't go along with it, but felt that it was fortunate that he didn't build an extraordinary organization that served him so quickly, and the Tarot Society was just a party, and he didn't need to be paid anything by his "fools", on the contrary, he could get a lot of benefits from the Tarot Society.

"Okay, I'll send you back, and I'll keep in touch with you in the future." After Hobert finished complaining, he returned to Byam with Klein to continue the adventures of Gelman Sparrow.

Then Hobart came back with a "trip" and said to Dennis outside the study: "Go and change another pot of tea, and you can go back and rest." ”

Before Dennis could return from changing tea, Job's expected guest, Darnell, arrived.

The demigod of the House of Tudor still seems to be so easy-going and easy to talk.

The two took two sips of tea and chatted for a while, and Darnell got to the point: "I apologize for Bunier's previous recklessness." ”

Bunier was a member of the Tudot family, who claimed to be Hobert's grandfather.

Hobert smiled: "It's okay, I forgave him a long time ago." ”

Darnell was stunned, Hobert's words proved that he was really angry at the time, otherwise he could have said something like "we are all family", which made the atmosphere of the conversation more harmonious.

This made Darnell secretly curse Bunier for being a fool in his heart, and the patriarch asked him to demonstrate first, which almost offended Hobert completely.

But Darnell was all he could say about it, he was a demigod and couldn't continue to apologize: "I still hope we can make that deal." ”

Hobert was a little embarrassed: "You can also see how sought-after the extraordinary nature of the extraordinary approach of the 'arbiter' is. ”

That's why Hobart asked Darnell to go to the auction as well, to see what he could get for the extraordinary character of the "arbiter" approach.

Darnell smiled: "If you can facilitate this deal, the resources and power in the family will definitely be more inclined to your territory." ”

In fact, even if this deal is not reached, there will be such a tilt.

After Darnell came to the field to see it, he found that there were too many investment opportunities and extraordinary power living space, and the family should increase their investment in Jeffrey Collar.

Hobart was a little embarrassed: "Well, I'd be happy to do business with a gentleman like Mr. Darnell."

"But the price of extraordinary traits can't be lowered anymore, as you can see, money is now needed everywhere in the territory, and if the price is too low, there will be problems with my capital chain."

In fact, Hobart also wants to make this deal, because this is the doorway for auction houses to make money: to create scarcity! Raise the price!

It's only when an item is so scarce that everyone bids for it to go crazy, which is why Hobart only auctioned two extraordinary properties tonight.

Later, at a small auction, he only planned to sell two extraordinary properties of the "low sequence" to whet the customer's appetite again.

On the 29th of the following month, Hobart did not plan to buy another "Interrogator" extraordinary trait, but planned to auction off a "Bribe-taker" extraordinary trait.

It's about creating scarcity.

So since everyone didn't buy what they wanted at the auction site, of course, they would be in the specially prepared room in Hobart in the auction hall, and ask the auction house to help pay attention to their needs.

At this time, the business will come to the door, because there is an auction price as the base, and the price of this kind of private transaction cannot be low.

Because this is a private transaction, the auction house will never disclose the transaction information to the outside world on the grounds of protecting customer information.

The other party to the transaction feels that the goods they are getting are cheaper than the ones at the auction, and of course they will not disclose the transaction with the auction house.

As a result, the scarcity of the market remains.

Public auctions are the signature of auction houses, and private transactions with customers are truly long-term and profitable transactions.

Darnell had thought before he came that the deal would definitely cost more money, but he had to do it because the scarcity of extraordinary properties was prevalent without Hobart making them.

It's just that after Hobert used the auction price to make the price too high, Darnell couldn't use the "market price" to counteroffer.

Darnell took a deep breath and once again regretted that he hadn't been able to close the deal last time: "You can make an offer. ”

Hobart smiled, "Although I have my difficulties, I still have to take care of Mr. Darnell.

"Well, it's basically the same as last offer: 400 gold for the 'arbitrator', 1,000 gold for the 'sheriff', 3,500 gold for the 'interrogator', 8,000 gold for the 'judge', and 15,000 gold for the 'punishment knight'."

The extraordinary characteristics of the "middle sequence", Hobert has risen slightly.

Darnell breathed a sigh of relief, finally not too outrageous, although the premium was quite a lot, but barely acceptable.

If the extraordinary properties of an "interrogator" cost 8,000 gold liso, Darnell must have gone back and slaughtered Bunier at once.

Darnell asked, "How much is the volume of transactions the same as last time?" ”

Hobert shook his head: "If I trade all the extraordinary traits to you, I will suffer too much."

"I'll just give you 12 'Arbiters,' 10 'Sheriffs,' 2 'Inquisitors,' 2 'Judges,' and 1 'Knight of Discipline.'"

Thank you for the reward.

The last chapter was sealed, and even the title is gone, but the author doesn't dare to change it now, because it has to be re-examined again, and it may have to be sealed again ( ̇ ̇ ̇)
