Chapter 087: The Battle for Battleships II
Armillary Boots @
Author: polarisa
Ten shield-breaking crossbows are far from meeting the requirements of covering the attack, and the custom price in the market is only fifty gold coins each. A group of ten is only 500 gold coins at best, which is too outrageous from the reserve price of 100,000 gold coins. Everyone once again thought that the executives of Qingyunfang had their brains pumped, and they would actually come up with such a reserve price that was destined to fail.
Song Chuanzhi smiled, no one would agree with such a reserve price. At the beginning, when he proposed it in front of Warren, Elder Du and others, he was also ridiculed as whimsical. Song Chuanzhi raised the auction hammer, tapped lightly on the table, and said: "Only those who successfully bid for the broken shield crossbow in this lot are eligible to participate in the auction of the 50,000 stone battleship! In addition, if you have a set of broken shield crossbow lots, you can only participate in the auction of one battleship." ”
After that, Song Chuanzhi's gaze swept over the twenty-four boxes one by one. If every box has to participate in the auction of warships, there are at least eight sets of shield-breaking crossbows.
In the subsequent auction of the Broken Shield Crossbow, the first thirty groups can only be regarded as subscriptions, and each bidder will be sold as long as they make an offer, and no one competes. Everyone knows that this is just a bid for tickets, and whoever raises the price is a fool and sends money to Qingyunfang in vain. However, when four guests also participated in the auction hall on the first floor and obtained four sets of shield-breaking crossbows, the ticket auction entered a hot bidding, and once a group of 500 shield-breaking crossbows was sold for 200,000 gold coins.
Whether it is in the box or the bidders in the auction hall, they all scolded the decision-makers of Qingyunfang to the blood. In fact, such a black-bellied thing can only be thought of by Song Chuanzhi. The old fart standing on the sidelines, looking at his complacent appearance, it was hard to imagine how he could have a wooden child like a sea hare.
Seeing that the sky outside the window was already dark, Song Chuanzhi announced that the auction was over today, and the auction would start tomorrow at three o'clock. Today's auction was an extremely successful one. The squid beads and purple spirit crystal beads, which were originally regarded as the main ones, plus the whole body armor, were only sold for 3.15 million gold coins, and the broken shield crossbow alone was 5.03 million.
Such an auction result is staggering, and Song Chuanzhi's belly is finally widely known in Qingyunfang. Perhaps only such a move can establish his status as an auction master in Qingyunfang.
Returning to the mansion in the evening, Uncle Song's performance was praised. No one thought that the cheapest shield-breaking crossbow would be sold at a price of more than 250 times the selling price of a single piece in the market, which is really incredible.
Uncle Zhou finally brought good news, a group of more than 40 merchants drove two paddle boats, and to great surprise, these people didn't plan to drive back, and wanted to directly dispose of the paddle boats on Qingyunfang's side. After Uncle Zhou learned about it, he only spent 20,000 gold coins to buy these two paddle boats.
This afternoon, a slide rail and a manpower towing platform were hastily laid on the tunnel of the sea cave, and at the same time, on both sides of the end of the road, a boat hole was dug by using swamp charms, and two paddle boats were dragged to the sea cave for storage by cable.
During the night, Warren went to a boat cave and drew the floating runes of the stone tables for each of the two paddle boats. The runes are burned in the ballast tanks under the stern, and the starting position of the runes and the spirit stones, which are installed in the control room where the rudder is placed, are easy to replace and control. The ceiling of the control room is also burned with monitoring runes. The location of these runes and spirit stones is very hidden, and it is difficult to detect and find the specific location without knowing it in advance.
After that, another person tested at sea, and it was really like a stone table, even if it could not leave the sea and fly into the air, it was enough to be driven by divine consciousness to fly across the sea at a maximum speed of 200 knots, far exceeding that of a hunting ship. The empty ship cruised in the sea, going back and forth to the inner and outer seas within two hours, before consuming a water system spirit stone. If it is fully loaded, it is estimated that four spirit stones will be needed.
Warren sailed back, and it was past midnight, and he could see the lights of the guard camp in the west of the city flickering in the distance. When they got closer to the shallow sea, they realized that the attack on the guard camp had been launched. Looking back at the city, the docks and the surrounding markets, there was silence.
Warren didn't intend to dock either, drifting far away in the sea, sitting on the bow of the ship. He took out a wooden stool from his bosom. The workmanship of this wooden piece was a little rough, and it was not even as good as Belle's original appearance. This is what Warren made during the day today, a total of nine, and gave one each to Lao Fart, Sea Rabbit, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Song, and Sun Jin, and Warren kept one for himself, and the remaining two were placed in Huazhai and Sea Cave respectively.
The word "Lun" was engraved on the chest of the wooden coffin, and nothing was placed in the letterbox, so it was directly sacrificed into the air. Soon it crossed the night sky and flew over Washington. After circling for a while, he fell in front of the window of the west chamber and touched the window gently. Soon, a jade hand opened the window and grabbed the wooden stick, holding it in his hand.
It's Belle. Belle held the wooden body with one hand, stroked the wooden body with the other, and said in her mouth: "Brother Hua, where have you been? Why haven't you come back?"
Mu Yan flew up from his hand and kissed Belle's little hand with her little mouth, and Belle giggled with itching. Mu Yan flew up again, his head in the direction of the guard, his body trembled a few times, and then fell into Belle's hands.
Belle smiled and said, "Oh, Brother Hua, do you want to ask about the Wei Ying?" It should be that the Rong family's people have started to attack, and it has been half an hour, but they haven't attacked yet, and there are many casualties on both sides. It's just that we haven't found the hiding place of the Black Rider so far. It's strange, where the hell are they hiding, are they lying in ambush outside the town?"
The wooden stool flew again, and before going out of the window, he turned his head and trembled a little, and then flew into the night sky and disappeared. Belle looked out the window with affection, perceiving the whereabouts of the wooden coffin with her divine sense, and seeing that it was not going back, but looking for another place to land, she closed the window and meditated.
The wooden stalker came to the sky above a house in the middle of the city, circled a few times, and then landed in front of the door of the main house in the courtyard, and knocked on the door. A young man came out, looked at the word "Lun" on Mu Yan's chest, carefully picked up Mu Yan, and said respectfully: "Lord Hua Lun, there is no movement in the city except for the guard camp, it is the Rong family who is attacking the guard camp, and people have been arranged to keep an eye on it, and if there is any problem, report it to Washington immediately." The wood flew up, trembled at him, and turned and flew away.
The man saw that he could not see the wooden wood, then turned around and went back to the house, and closed the door.
Mu Yan flew into the air again, turned around and flew towards the Fang Market, landed in front of the window of the Fang Guard Office, and knocked lightly on the window.
The window opened, a head poked out, saw that it was a wooden coffin, observed it carefully, and then picked it up and said respectfully: "Meet Elder Hua, there is no movement in the fang, someone outside the fang city is attacking the Jingdong Wei camp." Elder Song has already spread the word that it was the Rong family who did it, asking us to be on duty seriously, and someone may storm Fang City at dawn. Now two battleships are anchored in the offshore sea and are not close to the pier. There are no night patrols outside the city, and a patrol team is on duty in the city. ”
Mu Yan flew up, turned his head and trembled slightly, flew into the air and disappeared.
