Before the auction officially started, David had already begun to secretly rejoice. He was sitting in the ordinary seats. Although the people around him were all apprentices, he saw many apprentices from the Savage Cave. Normally, the apprentices from the Savage Cave would not
Traveling all the way to the ancient river beach to participate in the auction.
Obviously, these people probably came here because of Angel's alchemical fantasy.
Not only that, although David couldn't see the people in the VIP seats upstairs, David had stayed at the gate for a while before the auction started, and he saw many big shots from the Savage Cave, even Lord Sumishi.
They're all here.
These wizards, stimulated by Greya's creation of magic, might also be interested in the alchemical illusion.
Whether wizards or apprentices, so many people are aiming at the alchemical illusion. How could David not be happy? After all, he gets 10% of it.
When David was thinking about a better future life, the lights of the auction suddenly dimmed.
After a period of silence, the lights hit the stage in front, the red curtain was opened, and Silen, wearing an off-white suit and an orange bow tie, walked in with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to the monthly ancient auction. I am the auctioneer Silen." Silen introduced himself with a smile. As an auctioneer who has been working for nearly a hundred years, Silen knows very well that the buyers who come to the auction are not
He is a person who likes to listen to conversation, so after saying a few concise sentences, he went straight to the topic.
A platform appeared on the stage, with three blood-red objects placed on it: "Without further ado, let's enter the formal auction process. The first item is three giant demon blood stones, namely Hill Giant, Snowfield.
The starting price for the magic bloodstones of giants and sea giants is 80 magic crystals, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 magic crystals. Start bidding now."
Demon blood stone is a commonly used alchemical material. It is actually an ore contaminated with demon blood that has energy effects. These three giant demon blood stones can only be regarded as average, and they are all close to advanced materials. However, the sea giant demon blood stone has some
Rarely, the starting price of 80 magic crystals is at least 80% due to the sea giant magic blood stone.
The first auction item was fairly affordable, but not many people wanted the Demonic Blood Stone.
Finally, the magic blood stone was pocketed by an apprentice for 120 magic crystals.
"The second auction item is a forest wood staff mixed with alchemy. It is exquisitely crafted and can slightly increase the natural wizard's spellcasting effect. The starting price is 130 magic crystals."
This item was not as good as the Demonic Blood Stone. Xi Lun himself knew very well that after calling three times, he decisively rejected the bid.
This is just a low-level wand, and its target audience is naturally wizard apprentices, but the base price is as high as 130 magic crystals. Not many apprentices are willing to spend so much money to buy a wooden wand that is extremely easy to break, so it is normal for the auction to fail.
When preparing for the auction of the third lot, Silen looked a little hesitant.
According to the arrangement of the head of the Sharon family, the music box should have been auctioned at this time. But he always felt that the value of this item should not be underestimated.
When Xi Lun hesitated, the buyer below shouted loudly: "Don't waste time, what is the third lot?"
Silen raised his head and glanced at the third floor. Although he could only see a dark area, he vaguely felt that the head of the Sharon family was staring at him with cold and stern eyes.
"What are you still in a daze for? Hurry up." Sharon's voice came to Xi Lun's ears, with a hint of suppressed dissatisfaction.
Silen sighed and placed a small box on the tray.
The small box looks very delicate. The pure black bottom is decorated with a golden rose pattern, which is gorgeous and elegant. The ancient silk platinum used for the legs highlights the overall style.
From the appearance point of view, it is a quite satisfactory item.
No one here recognized what this item was, and they all shouted for Xi Lun to quickly introduce it and finish the photo.
Only David stood up angrily. Under the doubtful eyes of the people around him, he was cowed and sat down dejectedly.
David will never admit his mistake. This small box is clearly the alchemical illusion refined by Angel. An advanced alchemy item is actually placed in the first three lots?
What does it mean?!
In the vast majority of auctions, good items appear in the middle or at the very end. The items at the front of the auction are not particularly good, and there are only some auctions with the goal of "a blockbuster as soon as they open the door."
, will put good things first to support the appearance.
But the auctions at Ancient River Beach always follow the tradition and don't do any tricks. Every auction is very ordinary at the front and gets better towards the back.
According to this inference, the staff of the ancient auction actually thought that Angel's lot was very ordinary? Or even so ordinary that it was put in the front row for auction?!
David's face turned red with anger. He promised Angel to run the auction of the Alchemy Fantasy Land well, and then after careful selection, he finally decided to conduct the auction on the ancient river beach. He did not expect such a result!
This not only insults his selection level, but also insults the value of Angel’s lot!
David even wanted to stand up and tell Silen that he was going to give up his burden and stop filming!
But...he didn't dare.
The last time Angel angered Twilight, he almost ended the game under the protection of Sanders. What's more, he was a scumbag apprentice with no backer, no background, or even a mentor.
David could only feel ashamed and angry with self-blame and guilt, and stared at Silen on the stage with red eyes and hatred.
"Lord Silen, what exactly is this box? Why does it look like a woman's jewelry box?"
There were more and more urging voices below. Silen calmed down a little and decided to continue the auction.
Anyway, I took pictures in the morning and in the evening. The most I could get criticized was, 'There's something wrong with the ordering of today's lots'. It's not a big deal. Thinking of this, Xi Lun showed a perfect smile: "The third lot is
A music box. It can release illusions and immerse everyone in comfort. The starting price is... 150 magic crystals, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 magic crystals."
In the end, Silen did not accept the 50 magic crystal base price mentioned by Sharon. According to his own appraisal, the several materials of the music box totaled 70 or 80 magic crystals. 50 magic crystals was indeed a bit low. So he repeated
After thinking about it, I decided to start with 150 magic crystals.
When Silen finished talking about the lowest price, David clenched his fists angrily and uttered a series of curse words that others could not understand from between his teeth.
"Music plus fantasy? Isn't this thing just a phantom sound box? It's very popular recently, and I didn't expect it to be listed in ancient auctions. Although the phantom sound box is a good idea, it's sold in all the shops in Twilight Deep Well, and it also has
At the auction, this puts the ancient auction in a bad light." An apprentice shook his head below and said, "And the starting price is almost the same as the price of the magic sound box sold outside."
People around him echoed.
In the small cubicle on the third floor, Sharon had just finished passionately kissing a beauty, but he caught a glimpse of the situation outside from the corner of his eye.
He rubbed the hair of the beauty across from him, and then said softly and sarcastically: "Look, even the wizard's apprentice is sarcastic. Don't let this kind of thing appear in our auctions in the future! This Xi Lun still dares to increase the price without authorization... ugh
!”
At this time, in a VIP room full of fragrance, "Rose Crown" Liana was looking at the music box in a daze. Next to her sat another witch, Tong from the Forest of Night Whisperers.
Tong stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Lianna: "What are you thinking about? Are you also interested in this magic sound box?"
Liana shook her head: "I just think this music box is a bit weird. The one-piece refining method is very good. It is definitely a mature alchemy method. With this method, it shouldn't only cost 150 magic crystals, right?"
"I've seen the Phantom Sound Box before, 150 magic crystals is very reasonable." Tong said nonchalantly.
Liana looked at the table with suspicion in her eyes: This thing has an illusion and is combined with alchemy... Could it be Angel's alchemical illusion? However, if it is true, then the value seems to be too low.
.
"It's a pity that there is a barrier on the stage, blocking the alchemy eye, so the view is really unreal." Liana shook her head, thinking that she must have thought wrong. No matter how low Angel's alchemy work is, it will not cost 150 magic crystals.
Bar.
At this time, in another VIP room, Su Mishi crossed his legs and was also looking at the music box: "I saw the magic sound box at Grandma Tiejia's place, but it seems that there is a little difference between the two. This one seems to be more refined.
?”
Silen stood on the stage and was silent for a minute.
There was no one underneath who wanted to take pictures of the music box. He shook his head secretly in his mind. Could it be that this music box was really so popular? It was so popular that the head of the Sharon family knew about it, and all the other apprentices knew about it. He was the only one who didn't know about it.
Xi Lun even had the urge to take the picture himself. It was still an advanced product, even if it was just for entertainment, but 150 magic crystals was really not expensive.
"160 magic crystals." When Xi Lun was about to pass the auction, someone finally raised a sign.
Silen looked at it and frowned, because he knew the person holding the sign...it was the apprentice who sent the music box for the photo, and his name seemed to be David?
Why would he take it back by himself? He will return it after the auction fails. If he takes it by himself, he will have to hand over more magic crystals.
Silen felt that David was a little irrational.
David didn't feel that he would rather pay for it himself than let Angel's auction go unsold, as if as long as he paid the price, he could afford a fig leaf to cover up his dignity that had been shattered into pieces.
"Someone offered 160 magic crystals, 160 magic crystals once." Silen shook his head, but still followed the procedure and started walking.
On the other side, Sharon looked curiously: "Someone actually spends 160 magic crystals to buy this music box?"
The staff standing next to him whispered the truth.
"Hahahaha, it turns out he took the photo himself and bid to buy it back?" Sharon seemed to be laughing heartily, but everyone in the cubicle heard the sarcasm in Sharon's smile and expressed their sympathy.
"Forget it, he has to pay for it himself, so we are not at a loss." Sharon touched his chin: "But when Silen comes down, we have to tell him that this kind of thing should not be boarded by us in the future.
It’s an auction.”
"That's right, such vulgar things have simply lowered the level of ancient auctions." The plump woman leaned against Sharon and agreed.
Sharon smiled and nodded, pinching her cheek hard: "Linda still has the vision."
A burst of laughter sounded in the cubicle.
But not long after, the sound of whispering suddenly came from outside.
Sharon turned around, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Reporting to the owner, VIP room No. 7 just offered 200 magic crystals and wanted to buy a music box. The seller offered 210 magic crystals and wanted to buy it back, but the other party kept raising the price. Now it has reached 500 magic crystals."
"Ah?!" Sharon sat up: "There is actually someone interested in the music box? Could it be a trap?"
The staff whispered: "The guest in VIP Room No. 7 is Jellal, the 'Mithril Transformer' from the Hurricane Tower."
