Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 21 Fierce Bidding
The auction continues.
White's rich auction experience is always the first to stir up the atmosphere on the scene, even some less rare objects will often be auctioned for extremely high prices.
But for Andu, the auction is getting more and more boring.
Because there was nothing he could use other than that fallen orc eyeball.
Andu, who has nothing to do, can only focus on eating.
I have to say that the Bilton auction has worked this point, whether it is fresh fruits and vegetables across the seasons, or high-end desserts with a high market price, Andu has eaten enough.
"Then today's auction is about to enter the final link, and familiar friends know that at the end of each auction, we will present the most valuable items of this issue. ”
"It could be a rare item, it could be a masterpiece, or it could be something you didn't expect, so now, I officially introduce to you the three most valuable items in this auction!"
"The first thing I want to introduce to you is ......"
Andu listened to White's introduction on the stage, and once again showed a disappointed gaze, a heavy armor with an acceleration effect was still too reluctant for him.
"This armor looks like it's eighty pounds, right?
Andu looked at the whole set of heavy armor on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a little impulsive to put his feet on it.
When White quoted the starting price of fifty imperial silver dollars, the whole auction once again came to show off each other's wealth.
One auction after another auction cards were raised, and the interval between them could not even exceed two seconds.
For all warrior classes, this armor is worth at least two hundred Imperial Silver Dollars.
The additional acceleration effect on the armor minimizes the impact of weight.
It can be said that the straight-line running speed of wearing this heavy armor can even be faster than that of many medium-sized armor.
Of course, the negative effect is that it will inevitably affect the agility of the wielder, which is also a common problem of all heavy armor.
But this is a problem that can be completely ignored for some adventurers and mercenaries who have been on the go all year round.
For those who play in teams most of the time, having a heavily armored warrior with little to no speed at the forefront means they will have more maneuverability.
What's the point of sacrificing a little flexibility for that?
The continuous rise in prices gradually reached a white-hot stage, and the two teams were completely red-eyed because of this armor.
In just two minutes, the price of this heavy armor was actually raised to the level of two hundred and eighty imperial silver dollars!
"Oh, this gentleman from the Fangs Adventure Team has quoted a high price of two hundred and nine!"
"If not, I'm going to knock it!"
"Three hundred!Three hundred!!The Dick leader of the Iron Armor Mercenary Regiment bids three hundred!!Is there anything higher?Is there any!?"
"Three Hundred and Two !!"
"The gentleman from the Fangs Adventure Team is out at three hundred and two!Oh my God, this is the highest price I've seen this month!If no one continues to increase the price, this will be the highest price of the month so far!!"
"Is there really no one? I'm really going to knock!!"
"Three hundred and twenty-one times!"
"Three hundred and two two!!"
"Three Hundred and Twenty-Three !!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman who claims to be from the Fierce Fang Adventure Team, although I didn't know that Halma had such a new adventure team before, but I have reason to believe that after today, Halma's circle will be full of stories about you!"
As for what the story is, I don't know.
White excitedly held the amplification crystal, and the foaming stars were shining passionately under the flashlight.
At this time, the dimly lit auction hall was full of faces excited by the climax of the auction site.
Andum didn't feel much for the excited crowd.
For them, they love anything that stimulates their adrenaline, including auctions, bars, casinos, gladiatorial arenas, and more.
I can understand these things.
Because of the perennial war on the entire continent, everyone has some suppressed emotions to a greater or lesser extent.
The middle-aged man, who was probably roaring and flushed all over his face, had just lost his nephew yesterday.
What's wrong with them wanting to vent?
However, how many people just want to pursue exciting things, Andu is not clear.
When the atmosphere reached a peak and everyone was excited, White mysteriously picked up the amplification crystal again.
He raised his eyebrows, swept his gaze back to the two groups of people who had just competed against each other, and said in a low voice.
"So now, we're going to start auctioning off the penultimate item, and again, it's a magic item!, yes, it's a card!!"
Andu listened to White's words, and his attention focused for a second time.
He sat down, leaned forward slightly, and rested his hands on the coffee table in front of him.
Because the distance was not close enough, his legs were wide open, as if he was expecting something big.
Aside from the fallen orc eyeballs, Andu sat up straight for the second time in today's auction.
"It's called Ice and Snow Spirit, and it's the work of an alien card master, and it's said that the other party's drawing level has reached the Ferrier level, which is extremely rare in our Bilton auction house. ”
A delicate card was presented in front of the eyes of everyone present.
The female elf on the card looked ahead, and the snow around her was sliding down in front of her, but she couldn't touch her in the slightest.
What's even more bizarre is that everything on this card is rhythmically moving at this time!
It's like she's owning a life of her own, real and arrogant, and the card itself is just where she lives!
"Then the auction starts now, the starting price is sixty imperial silver dollars, and each increase must not be less than five imperial silver dollars, then the auction starts now!"
Andu listened to White's words and was noncommittal, and Andu knew very well about this boastful auction method at the auction.
There are five levels of the card painter profession, from low to high, they are Parr, Ferrier, Goethe, Hall, and Ekz.
Generally speaking, a Parr-level card artist who is certified is enough to work in a beginner or intermediate college.
And the job of employment is at least at the level of department director!
As for the Ferrier-class, in Andu's memory, Halma did not have a Ferrier-level card painter.
That's why White deliberately added that Ferrier-level card painter was from outside, so as not to wear goofs.
It's just that most of the people present are not clear about these details.
But Ferrier-level card painters, they still know exactly what it means.
White's vivid explanation, coupled with the lifelike elves on the cards, and the picture that has been moving from a distance, made most of the people present subconsciously believe what he said.
So, another invisible fight began.
Andu listened to the sound of quotations in the field, and he could even feel his own heartbeat.
That's happy, excited, excited heartbeat!
Andu, who originally only planned to sell twenty imperial silver dollars, never imagined that the real situation would be so crazy.
The auction went on like crazy, and everything was like a dream.
It was as if he had seen a large number of zloty coins, which were smashing at him......
"A little more, a little more. ”
Andu stared straight at the auction table, muttering subconsciously.
......
"Damn, that heavy armor cost us too much money!"
A middle-aged man with a face full of stubble looked in a direction not far away with a fierce look.
There was a man in full armor with a long sword pinned to his waist, holding up the auction card in his hand.
"That's enough, just buy this armor, even if you buy it now, no one of you can equip it, just treat it as if you didn't see it." ”
A man who had been sitting at the back of the group suddenly spoke.
As soon as his words came out, the rest of the people silently closed their mouths, only the man with a scumbag face was still staring at the man holding up the auction card in the distance.
......
Dick never imagined that the armor he had planned to buy at the beginning would be blocked and cut off.
For this armor that he learned in advance, it can be said that he used all his connections to borrow three hundred imperial silver dollars, but in the end he was still one step behind.
But just as Dick almost lost his patience and was about to leave, the sudden appearance of cards made his eyes shine.
Dick, who was holding the auction card high, looked at the young man not far away beside him, and sighed slightly in his heart.
The young man didn't notice Dick's gaze at all, and he was looking at the "ice and snow elf" on the stage feverishly......
With the withdrawal of the Fierce Fang Adventure Team, there are no more opponents in the entire auction that can compete with the Iron Armor Mercenary Group.
For most ordinary people, magical items are not even as useful as the antlers that Halman first bid on.
Because the price of the "Ice Elf" had no competitors, it was finally sold for 180 Imperial Silver Dollars.
Even so, it still made Andule keep his mouth shut.
The last item to be sold was an oil painting by a master, which sold for one hundred and twenty imperial silver dollars.
Overall, the auction was a success.
However, Andu was not interested at all, he had already begun to think in advance about how to spend his small treasury after today......
With the end of the auction, the staff of the auction house finally found Andu.
It was clear that Bilton Auction House did not intend to let Andu take care of the rest while eating.
After being "politely" invited to the back hall, Andu met the auctioneer White again.
"Thank you. ”
White laughed and walked over to Andu, giving him a hard hug.
White didn't hold it for too long, patted Andu's back heavily, let go of him, looked at him and said.
"Thanks to you today, I wouldn't know what to do with those fallen orc eyes. ”
White was sincerely grateful, and although he didn't know why Andu photographed that thing, it did help him solve his big trouble.
"Ahem, you're welcome. ”
Andu cleared his throat and gave White a roll of his eyes.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I just pushed too hard. ”
White smiled awkwardly, subconsciously rubbed his hands and said, "Just now, because of excitement, I was a little out of shape for a while, I hope you don't mind." ”
"It's okay, I want to ask about the ice and snow elf I consigned, when will I get the money?"
"Right now, I'll take you. ”
......
Outside the auction hall, Dick, who was dressed in full-body armor, looked at Fawkes, who was looking at him with an excited face, and frowned imperceptibly.
He let out a long breath and calmed down and said, "This ice and snow elf, when you return to the hotel in a while, you will bind it." ”
Young Fox said excitedly: "Thank you, Captain, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Dick nodded, didn't speak, and put the low-level Raphael card pack containing the Ice Elf into his bosom with a blank expression.
Then he led the people of the mercenary group and quickly left the Bilton Auction House.
Fawkes walked excitedly in the middle of the group, and his mind couldn't help it, and he began to fantasize about binding cards at night.
Young Fox didn't notice that except for the head of the group, the other team members didn't say a word from beginning to end.
They just watched him silently, calmly as if nothing had happened.
