In the center of the auction venue was a middle-aged male human wearing a black tuxedo. He seemed to be a pure-blood human.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to the Bauhinia Auction House. I am Qiao Li, today's auctioneer."
“Tonight Bauhinia Auction House raised a total of 527 lots for distinguished guests.
Among them, 300 pieces came from Bauhinia Trading Company, 51 pieces came from Dabao Trading Company, and 33 pieces came from...the total price exceeded 10 million gold coins! "
"Today's auction is divided into two halves. There are 500 items in the first half and 27 items in the second half..."
“Finally, I would like to welcome all distinguished guests again, and I hope that all of them can take photos of their favorite items.
So without further ado, here’s the first piece, a complete set of fur from the Northern Blue Bull. "
"Starting price - 500 gold coins! A single bid increase cannot be less than 10 gold coins."
The Northern Cang Ox is a unique beast in the Northern Plains. Yes, it is a beast, not a magical beast. But even if it is a beast, the Cang Ox has a huge size of more than six meters high and seven to eight meters long. Even third-level adventurers can It may not be possible to take it down.
The most valuable thing about the Cang Niu is undoubtedly its fur. The thick fur can withstand most first-order elemental magic without processing. The price of a complete Cang Niu is even more rare, and the price can go up several times. .
However, in the adventurer circle, black cow fur is relatively useless. In the auction circle, it is mostly sold as a luxury product. It is more respectable to buy it back and use it as a carpet or pendant.
"500 gold coins, 55, 6,...8 hundred, 800 gold coins, 800 gold coins once, is there any increase in price for 800 gold coins, 800 gold coins twice, 800 gold coins three transactions."
"Next is the second auction item, which was shipped from the Far East, the Pearl of the Deep Sea, with a starting price of 200 gold coins."
"350 gold coins deal!"
…
"The seventy kilograms of black ore unearthed in Abyss City are of very high purity. It is more than enough to make a black iron sword. The remaining materials are resold..."
"1,000 gold coins deal!"
"Sale of 650 gold coins!"
"325 gold coins deal!"
"The fangs of the North Wind Wolf King were sold for 1,200 gold coins!"
...After taking pictures of several items in succession, Xu Yang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The auctioneer at the Bauhinia Auction does not have the habit of citing numbers as he saw in the novel.
And he used magic light and shadow to jump prices in the private room, so most of the guests in the ranking venue didn't know that 60 of the hundreds of items in front of him were bought by one person.
Except for some local goods that appeared in every auction, Xu Yang almost never made a mistake. After all, if he wanted to develop his territory in the future, he would just collect materials.
Xu Yang's addition of full price also effectively made competitors lose the idea of fighting.
The first half of the auction went by very quickly. Most of the auctions were within 20 lots. The auction was completed in less than half a minute. In the blink of an eye, the 500 auction items came to an end.
But it was just a blink of an eye for Xu Yang. In fact, the auction of 500 items had already spent most of the night.
For many people who did not participate in the auction, the process was a bit long, and even Ariel, who had been chattering all day long, seemed to be asleep.
After all, most of the so-called treasures at auctions are no different from garbage on the roadside in Ariel's eyes.
Most of the VIPs in the box will not participate in the first half of the auction, and will enjoy the auction house's free services in the first few hours.
Although it is free, the quality and technology are at the top level among professional bathhouses. Evelea learned a lot this night.
"Next is the last lot of the first half, a rare staff made by the legendary mage Mr. Victor himself."
This is the first item in today's auction that Xu Yang is interested in using his exploratory eyes to see its attributes.
"Victor's Apprentice Staff—Summer Flame
Quality: Excellent (green)
Introduction: A staff prepared by Victor for the outstanding apprentices in his mage tower.
Spellcasting increase: 1.7~2.0 (when you cast magic, the magic power is increased by the intelligence adjustment multiplier)
Bonus spell: [Hot Summer Flame], which can release a fan-shaped scorching flame without relying on chanting or magic power. It can only be released twice a day.
Comment: This temperature is just right for grilling meat. "
This is a not-so-rare staff, and its value lies more in its workmanship. After all, only gold-level and above mages are capable of making staffs with bonus magic, let alone the work of a legendary mage.
However, most of the magic wands are not attractive to Xu Yang.
Because two magic staffs were drawn in the initial lottery, and both were genuine legendary staffs, but Xu Yang had not learned the spells so far, so the two legendary staffs could only be shelved.
"Golden Hatchling Staff
Quality: Golden Body (Legendary)
Introduction: The legendary mage encounters a magic circle tempered with broken branches of a strange tree. The fallen golden dragon deposits the blessing of life on the staff.
Effect: Wisdom adjustment value +2, gain feedback from the golden young dragon when casting spells, reduce mental power consumption by 40%
Spellcasting increase: 3.0~5.0
Bonus spells: [Blessing of the Golden Hatchling], [Twining of the Strange Tree].
Comment: Every legendary mage dreams of owning such a staff, and they will do whatever it takes to do so. "
————————
As the last lot was bought at a price of four thousand gold coins, the first half of the auction also came to an end, and the things Xu Yang had taken were quickly sent over.
The person who came was none other than Qiao Li, who had just come down from the auction stage.
"Dear guest, these are the treasures you took in the first half. They are all in this ring. This ring is a gift from our auction house and a membership card of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce."
"As a distinguished guest, please allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Jory Jones.
I am the third person in charge of the auction house. If you need anything, you can contact me.
We can help you order directly through membership channels, no need to do it like today. "
The Bauhinia Auction House, a rich man like Xu Yang, naturally desires it.
But like Xu Yang, who bought 314 of the 500 lots, and all the ones that were a little more eye-catching were bought by this man as if he were buying something, which is not a good thing for the auction house. The auction Sunday is a steady stream of business, and the auction house Some considerations also need to be made for mid- to low-end customers.
Xu Yang closed his eyes and concentrated, without answering directly, and let Evelea take the ring through the spiritual link.
"My name is Xu Yang."
"Xu Yang Clivener"
Qiao Li recited Xu Yang's name several times in his mind. The spelling was a bit confusing, but the last name Cravenna... seemed familiar.
No matter what, since it feels familiar, he must be a noble. Someone who is not a noble would not be so generous.
"Well Mr. Clevner, I hope the next lot will satisfy you."
Unlike the previous 500 lots, the 27 lots in the second half are not directly written on the lot list.
Only through some special channel relationships can we know what is in the second half. This can be regarded as one of the means to maintain the excitement of the auction.
After a short rest, it was time to exit the auction house and the second half officially began.
"Okay, I guess the distinguished guests can't wait. The second half of our Bauhinia Sunday auction has officially begun. Here is our first lot of the second half."
As Qiao Li finished speaking, four sturdy men over two meters tall carried a display case covered with black cloth onto the stage.
"The first auction item in the second half, the life core of the fire element lord."
Elemental creatures are not uncommon in the material plane, but elemental lords who reach the fourth level require relatively harsh environmental conditions, and the environmental conditions that can form elemental lords are often difficult to conquer, so the magic materials of elemental lords are undoubtedly in short supply.
"Then, the starting price for the life core of the Fire Element Lord is 50,000 gold coins. A single increase cannot be less than 1,000 gold coins... The bidding begins!"
"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty two, three, four, five... eighty-five thousand gold coins."
"One hundred thousand gold coins, bid one hundred thousand gold coins, is there any higher price?"
"One hundred thousand gold coins fell, and the distinguished guest in Private Room 3 took the shot of the fire element life core of the lord's house with one hundred thousand gold coins!"
After the number of bidders decreased, Qiao Li was happy to report the bidding number. Most people were often worried about revealing their wealth, but nobles often liked face. Reading numbers could not only satisfy the nobles' face, but also arouse their enthusiasm for bidding.
One hundred thousand was naturally Xu Yang's bid, which was twice the starting price. The fire element core was a very difficult magic material to process, so no one offered a high price.
In the second half, there were far fewer people bidding, and many people began to notice the low-key boxes in the first half.
The pale-skinned noble man in Box 9 laughed disdainfully.
"Haha, where are you from? You don't think you can collect garbage in the second half just like the first half."
The half-elf in Box 12 just stared coldly in Xu Yang's direction.
"As long as you don't compete with me."
The old man in private room No. 1.
"You little guy who doesn't know how to do it will just put it in the warehouse to eat dust after buying it, which is a waste of gold coins."
However, with Qiao Li's voice
"Box three!"
"Box three!"
"Box three!"
"Box No. 3 won the semi-artifact fragment of the Forbidden Land with 400,000 gold coins. Congratulations to the VIPs in Box No. 3!"
The expressions of the nobles in the other boxes changed, especially the pale-skinned young master, whose expression almost turned black.
…
As for Xu Yang, while bidding, he looked at the space ring. Jinshan couldn't see any difference from before entering the auction house.
"Forget it, since I still have so much money, I won't miss it."
Buy them all.
This unpretentious and boring auction ended like this.
As for the rumors about Cravenna that began to spread in Gelfondo afterwards, and Xu Yang's appearance as a matter of course, these were not unintentional at all, but Xu Yang, who was far-sighted and far-sighted, had already thought of it when he was showing off.
————————
"Believer, can you give me the forbidden fragment of the semi-artifact? I'll exchange it for you with a hundred times the gold coins!"
Ariel has never been stingy with gold coins, and she doesn’t have any anyway.
Xu Yang, who fully understood the spider's temperament, was not fooled at all.
"Lord Evil God, you can no longer call this a cake, you are calling a fraud."
"Believer, please take pity on me. You don't even have that fragment. It's just a fragment stained with divine blood. Compared with your legendary staff, it's just a piece of garbage! No, in fact, to you It’s just garbage.”
Ariel, who originally disdained the auction, is now like a pet spider waiting to be fed.
"Furthermore, if I swallow this fragment, I can recover a small amount of my divine power. Then you can use first-level evil spells, and you don't need to learn them at all!"
Well, after all, who can refuse the sect leader's cuteness, even if it is a spider.
And the field of sorcery really makes Xu Yang very excited. After all, Xu Yang is still just a level 0 rookie with no ability to adjust his attributes.
"Believers, let me tell you, we will have more activities like this in the future."
The law of true fragrance, even the gods cannot escape.
