Chapter 114: Scramble
Next, several more lots were auctioned.
There are magic swords that can only be used to chop wood, ultra-pure ice lake potions that are "actually similar to water", and so on. Probably because the auction items were deliberately ordered, basically two ordinary auction items were followed by an excellent auction item.
Eunice also took the opportunity to buy a pair of two bottles of strength growth potion, which is being used with knights, and with the knight's training method, it can greatly improve the strength of a knight - the lowest is one percent, the highest is forty percent, generally speaking, strict training, can have about three layers of effect.
There was also a bottle of medicine that assisted the knight to advance to the grand knight was not grabbed, and it was taken by the Memphel Bo Chamber of Commerce, after all, people have a lot of money.
"Let's take a break, I'll go down and have a drink, and the rest will be more exciting. Eddie said after the success of one of the current auctions.
Selena barely squirted out of the water - why is there an intermission in the auction, is there any advertising time - what the hell is advertising time?
Now that the auction has been temporarily suspended, everyone began to drink some water, exchange the auction items just now, and discuss whether it is worth so much, this is really awesome or something.
Because there was no list of auctions, there was no specific goal, and there was no need to be too wary of others, and some people didn't even have enough money to prepare, just treated this as a party.
The Eunice mother and daughter didn't know anyone else, or they knew someone else, and no one else knew them.
The two gossiped together, and Selena said, "Mom, when is the auction of our pens going to start?"
Eunice: "I don't know, no one told me when I commissioned it, but I think it should be soon, and it won't be the end." β
"I almost forgot that you were here for the auction. Aldington chatted back, "But don't worry, since there is no additional notice to you, it proves that you have accepted the commission, and it will definitely be in this auction." It hasn't appeared yet, so it means that your commission is quite valuable, and the auction will start later. β
"Is that really the case? I saw that there were a lot of lots in front of me that were much taller than in the back. Selena asked, puzzled.
"Of course, although it may seem like a bit chaotic at auction, it's the old routine that two or three ordinary auction items are followed by a more precious auction item, and the further you go, the higher the overall quality of the auction item," Aldington said.
"It's just that I didn't expect Orlando Mage's new rune pen to have such a high evaluation, and it was all put into the second half. β
Eunice turned to face Aldington, "Mage, does this mean anything?"
Aldington: "Normally, things in the second half might not be particularly precious, but there must be something new, not something ordinary. Maybe Orlando Mage's pen isn't a quill, so that's fine. β
The mother and daughter nodded together, but they still had some illusions in their hearts, hoping to sell them for a good price, and they felt in their hearts that they should not have this kind of illusion, and they could sell it, and they were very entangled.
Aldington looked at their expressions, and also understood what they were thinking, smiled, expressed understanding in his heart, and stopped talking.
Soon, Add reappeared on stage, and after some out-of-tune remarks, the auction resumed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to solemnly announce a piece of good news to you. β
Hearing Eddie's words, everyone was slightly shocked, and they didn't understand what he was doing.
"I want to declare a gospel to you all - ahem, although I don't believe in gods. From now on, mages like me with crippled hands have been saved, and they no longer have to worry about the pen being broken by themselves, nor will they worry about the pen being reluctant to enchant the rune pen because the pen is not durable, or they are careful every time they use the pen. β
When Eunice and her daughter heard this, they looked at each other and thought of going together, feeling that Eddie was introducing the rune pen he had commissioned, and this was the first time he had gone out of his way to praise an auction item - although it always felt that the angle was not quite right.
Eddie pulled off his shirt and said, "This is our opening lot of the second half, a pen, a new fountain pen that we have never seen beforeβthe name fountain pen is named by the inventor." Just listen to the name, it is just and not easy to break. This pen was made by the Orlando mage himself, and was enchanted.
"The pen barrel is engraved with a concentration circle, which can help the mage focus on writing, and there is a magic control circle on the tip of the pen, which can help the mage more accurately control the magic output when writing. In addition, the nib of the pen also has a set of flame affinity circles, and the scrolls copied with this pen will be more powerful, and the amplification will be stronger than that of the quill. β
Someone below brought paper and ink, there were several kinds of paper, and there were several kinds of ink, and among them there was magic ink with magical powers.
Add looked down and said, "Now, you can come up and watch." But I still have to say that the structure of this pen is so simple, I don't have to buy one at all, just make one myself. β
In the end, Eddie couldn't help but complain about the pen.
Although this was the case, his previous praise still attracted the attention of many mages, and they couldn't help but come to the stage to take a look.
"The design of this pen is very delicate, but I didn't expect it to be made of metal, which provides a large area for inscriptions. β
"Yes, and there is a lot to be done on the pen barrel, the magic circle of this pen is divided into two parts, in fact, it can be connected into one, and the power bonus of the scroll can be stronger. β
"Let me see. β
"What are you doing, isn't there paper and ink here, write and see. β
"Yes, yes, there's magic paper and monster skin, hey, and flaming ink, get out of the way, let me draw you a fire rune for you to see. β
"Don't mess around, there have been a few times when you copied the scroll that didn't explode. β
There was a mess on the stage, and many mages were chattering and discussing, and they were quite interested in this pen, but there were only a few people who could get started, and those who hadn't tried it were a little unsure.
Eddie saw that it was almost over, so he came out and drove everyone down: "Okay, okay, now you've all seen it, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, you can take a picture and watch it slowly." Now we are bidding for 300 gold. β
Hearing this price, Eunice breathed a sigh of relief, although there were no thousands of gold, but 300 gold was not less, and there was a feather in front of it, and it was only sold for 300 gold. If you want to enchant, feathers are much more difficult than pens, even if they are not very powerful, you can find a pen master to shoot for 2 or 300 gold.
The only good thing is that the monster feathers have their own magical power, and there is no need to add any gems as a center.
Aldington had just come up to the stage to see it, but he didn't have a chance to get started, so he asked the mage next to him, "Arbela, you just got started, how do you feel about this fountain pen, does it write smoothly, how is it compared to a quill pen?"
It turned out that the person sitting next to him was called Arbella, and he knew his name: "I didn't pay attention to this just now, I was more concerned about its increase in the spell scroll, and I just paid attention to the fluctuation of the rune spells drawn." β
At this time, a mage next to me, Passerby A, said: "I am more concerned about the smoothness of writing, after all, I don't make scrolls often, but I spend more time taking notes and experiments. When I tried the pen, I felt that the writing was very smooth, not weaker than some quill pens with writing spells attached, and if I didn't copy the scroll, I could engrave a circle of 'pen like a dragon', the effect should be better. β
Seeing their heated discussion, Selena couldn't help but say, "Master, this pen has an advantage that a quill can't compare to in any way. β
Seeing the eyes of the people around her, she said: "The tip of this fountain pen is made of fine gold grains, and the anti-wear effect is particularly good, basically it will never wear out, unlike a quill pen, which will have to be resharpened after a long time to write, and it is easy to interrupt the train of thought." β
A few people then remembered that there was indeed a small particle on the nib, but at the time they thought it was for writing fluently, but they didn't expect it to be for anti-wear, which a quill can never compare.
"500 gold!" At this time, a price increase came, and it turned out that unconsciously, after several rounds of price increases, the price had reached this point.
At this price, the advantages of the pen itself are no longer the main reason for attracting mages, but more because the pen is made by Orlando mages, and the effect is better. Although the area of the pen inscription circle is larger, the requirements for the mage's circle attainment are still very high.
At this time, although the price increase has decreased, it is still slowly increasing, and there are still several mages competing for it.
"600 gold! No matter how high it is, I don't want it. A mage said with a bitter face.
Eunice couldn't hold back her excitement and grabbed her daughter's hand tightly. Not only because of the high price of the auction, but also because the fountain pen was popular with mages, so that there was a foundation for doing a fountain pen business.
At this time, there were not many mages who had raised the price, and I saw a mage hesitate for a while before he stretched out his hand and shouted, "630! If it is higher, I would rather do it myself." β
Eddie saw that it was almost over, although some people were still a little moved, but there was no offer.
"Okay, no one has made an offer? With that, he raised his gavel and was about to fall.
"700! 700 gold! That's my reserve price. β
"Okay, that's you! Let's hurry up and shoot until tomorrow morning. Eddie didn't continue to ask, and just dropped the hammer.
That's how capricious!
Selena was about to turn around to see who had spent such a large amount of money when she was knocked down by a hammer.
