"Well, that's Master Aldington, I'll take you to get to know him. Eunice suddenly saw an acquaintance and hurriedly took Selena over.

As for Tina, she found a place to sit in the corner of the venue, where most of the people were big men, and it was a special place for her entourage to rest. However, except for a few people from the Chamber of Commerce, the mages rarely brought their followers.

"Hello, Master Aldington, are you also coming to this auction?" Eunice beckoned to the ordinary-looking mage with an embarrassed stubble on his face.

Aldington looked back and saw Eunice, and his eyes lit up, there were not many women in this room as beautiful as their mother and daughter.

Mages, most of them neglect to dress up, and this is a relatively high-end internal auction, the mages participating in the meeting are all relatively high-level, they are not young, plus they have been exposed to magic potions for many years, and their faces are more or less withered.

"You, you are..."Although it was nice to see the beauty, Aldington and Eunice were not familiar with each other, but they remembered that they seemed to have met, and she called her name, so everyone should have dealt with each other.

However, Eunice was not disappointed, this kind of thing was predictable: "Mage, we are Eunice of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, and you once bought jewelry for your female companion in our Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Oh, I see, let's come and sit together. Aldington snapped into his senses and beckoned.

Another mage beside him asked, "Do you remember who she is?"

"No, but others have explained so much, if you still don't know anything, isn't it a blow to her? ”

Eunice introduced her daughter to the two mages, and Selena bowed and sat down together.

Although Aldington doesn't remember the process of getting to know Selena - maybe it's too lazy to remember, the magician has test tubes of various calibers, tentacles, and even can summon succubius from the abyss, it doesn't matter if she wants a woman or not.

Although he is not familiar with Eunice, he is still quite enthusiastic: "Do you also come to the auction, buy things or sell?"

"Mage Orlando has made a special rune pen and commissioned us to auction it. Eunice said.

"I don't think you even know Master Orlando? I don't know what kind of feather pen is going to be auctioned. Aldington said in surprise.

Orlando is a teacher in the academy, mainly teaching rune courses, the main thing is that he has reached the peak of the white-robed mage, and it is said that he has a great chance to break through to the purple-robed mage, even in the group of mages, it is an incredible existence. Moreover, as a teacher, she can be said to be full of peach and plum, and many mages have been taught in Longgen Academy.

"It's not a quill," Eunice said. ”

"Not a quill, could it be a carving pen for carving metal or slate?" said a mage next to him.

"No, it's a writing pen, but it's a newly designed pen, called a fountain pen. This time it was a rune pen, and it is said that the inscription of runes is simpler, the writing is smoother, and the grip is better. It was designed by one of the mage's students, and has been published in The Wizard's Monthly. Eunice said.

"Looks like Master Orlando likes this student very much. Another mage thought that Orlando was just trying to give his students a platform, so he designed this pen, but he was a little curious that it wasn't a quill.

"Okay, the auction is on, let's see what's good," Aldington said. ”

Because this is not a particularly formal auction, many of the things that come to auction are added at zero hour, so the participants only have a rough idea of what will be the lots, and the specifics are not very clear.

At this moment, an old man with a gray beard came to the stage in front of the venue, holding something that I don't know if it was a staff or a crutch.

He paused for a moment with the magic (crutch) staff in his hand, and a crisp sound of "dong" spread throughout the venue, and everyone heard it clearly. Everyone unconsciously stopped talking, and the whole venue suddenly became audible.

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hello everyone, I am the duty mage of the association, Fergus, and I am also the president here, our auctions have been held many times, and everyone should be familiar with the rules." We accept gold, or if we don't have enough gold, we can use cherished magic materials. But the value is negotiated with the owner of the lot, and if the owner is not available, it will be valued by our auctioneer, or even you can sell it to someone else to raise money. Our auction is mainly to gather all the mages in Memphelbo, so that everyone can get to know each other and communicate more. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "But there is one thing, don't be discouraged if you don't shoot what you like, go and make a lot of money by yourself, and don't think about any crooked ways." No matter how big you are, can you be bigger than the Mage Council? Alright, let's start the auction. ”

After saying that, Fergus stepped down from the stage and was replaced by a different person.

This person was wearing a robe, and all the mages had similar robes, and they hadn't changed much in thousands of years. It's just that the colors are not the same, except that the three colors of gray, white, and purple can't be used casually, and there are no rules - as long as the gray and white colors are not solid colors, and they are made into the style of the robe, it doesn't matter.

However, this person on stage was wearing a pure white robe, which proved that this was a white-robed mage, but the robe was wrinkled, and it seemed that this mage was not very particular. The corners of his eyes flew outward, and his facial features seemed to be smiling all the time, even if they were expressionless, they seemed to be beating.

"Aha, hello everyone, I'm Add. I'll be the one to preside over the auction for you now, and trust me, nothing good will happen. ”

He opened his mouth, and it seemed that every word had a funny element in it, and he didn't know why he would be asked to preside over the auction.

"Now, let's take a look at the first lot. What is it?" he looked around, as if to ask, what about the auctioned items?

At this time, a magic apprentice dragged a tray over, and he hurriedly grabbed it.

"Let's see what this is?" he said, uncovering the top step of the tray, revealing the lot below.

He raised his eyebrows: "It's a piece of paper, ah, to be precise, it's an ancient magic text written by a prescription, the content... Belch... I don't understand. ”

He raised his head, not embarrassed: "To be honest, this is not a good choice, our experts have evaluated this so-called prescription." ”

"Where did you come from?" shouted someone from below, causing a burst of laughter.

"Well, it's our president who has examined it, although he can't read the specifics of what is written. ”

He changed his tone and continued, "But it's certain that this parchment is 3,000 years old, when the church hadn't completely failed — but it has nothing to do with it. The text on it is from the same period as the parchment, so don't worry that someone later wrote it on the parchment 3,000 years ago. ”

He put a rune board over the lower half of the parchment and said, "Now, you can come up and inspect the goods, and see if they are worth buying for yourself." Our president identified a combination that he thought might be related to a wisdom potion. ”

"Wow~" There was an uproar below, and many mages ran up to observe carefully.

For a mage, there is never too much to increase wisdom.

"Hey, hey, hey! Add was squeezed back, "Don't touch it with your hands." Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry, because most of you can't understand anything. ”

He stood behind the stage and mocked unscrupulously: "I advise you not to think too much, if this so-called prescription is easy to identify, will it still be your turn? ”

He then deliberately whispered, "Or it can be parsed out to be actually useless, and that would be worse." ”

But everyone heard him.

It was the first time Selena had seen this kind of auctioneer, and she couldn't help asking, "Mom, will anyone buy it at such an auction?"

Other auctioneers are sparing no effort to praise the good auction items and expect to sell them at a high price, but the auctioneers on the stage "pretend to be crazy and sell stupid" and keep belittling the auction items, won't they be beaten by the employer?

Aldington, who was next to him, listened and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our auction is mainly internal communication, and moreover, mages are rarely shaken by other people's words, and only trust their own eyes." If you think it's worth the price, you'll definitely go out of your way to bid, but if you don't think it's worth it, no matter what the auctioneer says, you won't be tempted. ”

Therefore, the auctioneer is more of an ornament and more of a symbolic meaning, after all, ordinary auctioneers may not be able to withstand the pressure.
