Chapter 33 The Enemy Is Coming
At the end of the "Ghost Market Treasures" auction, the format suddenly changed and became a free auction between invited guests, which captured the needs of the guests present.
Every guest at the auction was invited, and they could be specially invited by the three largest underground forces in the imperial capital, and each of them was a person with a special identity or strength. They all have their own special needs to a greater or lesser extent, some people have special things that they don't have the means to sell, and some people are collecting certain items like Arthur.
Hubbard's words were finished when a small man closest to the table jumped up, apparently knowing the rules of the auction.
I saw this person salute and take out a black short sword from his arms, and said loudly: "This is an enchanted short sword that I got by chance during my exploration, and the dark magic attached to it has never had a channel to shoot before, I don't know if there are any friends who are interested?"
Dark gear!
I am afraid that only on this occasion will I dare to take it out and sell it publicly, and if it is found out by the church outside, I will be burned at the stake.
"What kind of magic is attached to it, you can only make a bid if you make it clear!" said a man in a gray cloak in the corner.
Many people followed the prestige, and it seems that this auction really has a dark mage in attendance.
"I'm sorry, I can't activate the magic above, if you're interested, you might as well come up and try it for yourself. ”
"I'll do it. "It was another person who answered, and it seems that there are quite a few people from the Dark Family in the field today.
When this person came to the stage, Arthur was taken aback, it was actually the black-robed man who had competed with him in the Black Star Space before.
The black-robed man held the hilt of the sword and stabbed forward at will, and with a flash of blood, a black python with horns on its head and a burning tail rushed out of the sword, the giant python had fangs and long tongues, and the hard scales on its head were clearly visible, "Seventh-level dark summoning magic, Hell Horned Python, it's not bad!"
"If this boy likes it, make a price, this thing is useless in my hands. The little man answered immediately.
"Anyway, it's also an excellent level equipment, I'm willing to charge 40,000 gold coins, if others are willing to pay a higher price, you can sell it to others." ”
Neither of them deliberately lowered their voices, and the small man looked around and found that no one had raised the price.
Arthur was interested in this dark equipment, but after a little trade-off, he gave up, the seventh-level dark magic summoning creature was already a little insufficient for his help, and he couldn't even block the random blow of the strong general.
No one else bid on the spot, and the dark equipment was easily pocketed by the black-robed man, and he didn't even avoid going to the trading room to deliver it, but directly counted out forty crystal cards for the little man, and paid two additional crystal cards to Hubbard.
Completing the first transaction so smoothly is indeed a good start, and many people who need to sell items have begun to gather in front of the stage, and Arthur is naturally among them.
According to the rules, each person can only auction one item per round, and a second person jumps on the stage immediately after the small man is gone. When it was Arthur's turn to take the stage, there were already seven people in front of him. Five of the seven items were sold, and two were unsold, and the turnover rate was still very high.
After Arthur came to the stage, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a jade box from the space bracelet. When the lid of the box was opened, a faint aroma came from the flower the size of a human face in the box.
"The main ingredient of the Zhuyan Pill that can make a woman look ageless is taken from the zombie flower of the abandoned swamp, and the price starts at 30,000 gold coins. Arthur explained to the audience.
Arthur had picked three zombie flowers from the Abandoned Swamp, one of which he handed in as a quest item, and the remaining two were asked by Aretha to go, but he kept them for no avail.
Arthur's reaction from the audience after introducing him was surprisingly flat, and except for a few people talking in low voices, no one had the intention of bidding.
Arthur miscalculated, although the zombie flower is also a rare and rare thing, but this kind of thing is only attractive to the noblewomen and ladies of the wealthy nobles, and few guests invited to participate in the black market auction this time will be interested in this kind of thing.
No one bid for a long time, and just when Arthur thought that the unsuccessful auction was a foregone conclusion and was about to step down embarrassingly, the middle-aged woman of the Hearst family suddenly spoke, "Twenty-five thousand gold coins, if you are willing to sell it, I will ask for it." ”
Arthur only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Although he only sold 25,000 gold coins, he was still happy in his heart, after all, he saw the money back. He still has a lot of expensive things like zombie flowers that are of little use to him for the time being.
Arthur had just come down from the platform when the next man immediately stood up.
The auction in the hall has reached a new climax, and a great crisis has reached the outside of the farm.
......
The three thousand galloping cavalry shook the ground slightly, and such a big movement was noticed by the three families ten miles away from the farm, and the news reached the farm for the first time.
In one of the side rooms of the farm, two men and one woman were sitting around the tea table, and it was none other than the three people in charge of the black market auction of Clay, Hearst, and the Wind Hidden Gang.
"Are the city guards coming for us?" said a rather handsome blonde woman.
Adele, McGinn's aunt, the youngest daughter of the old man of the Clay family, is still unmarried.
"Our sources within the City Guard don't have any intelligence. The one who answered the call was a middle-aged strong man like a bear, the deputy leader of the Fengyin Gang, Lei Weite.
The old man from the Hearst family also shook his head and said slowly: "After operating in the imperial capital for so many years, the city guards have always turned a blind eye to us, and this time the cavalry came too suddenly. ”
Revitt snorted lightly, "It's Summerlord who is in charge of the city guard now, and we can't take care of that insatiable guy yet?"
"Not necessarily for this reason, even if Summerer wanted to beat us, there was no need to make a big show of a few thousand cavalry to ruin our auction. Adele analyzed with a clear mind.
"No matter what the other party's purpose is, safety is paramount, anyway, the auction of the three of us is over, and most of the proceeds from the auction have been shipped out, so notify the guests to withdraw. "As the great butler of the Hearst family, the old man is more cautious.
"When it comes to the reputation of our three families, we can try not to disturb the guests as much as possible. Notify the second layer of security to stop it, test the attitude of the other party, and if the other party is really coming to us, then notify the guests to transfer. "Although Adele is a woman, she does not drag her feet.
The decision inside the farm was made, and the guards and guards outside immediately took action, and the guests in the auction hall were still unaware of what was happening outside.
