Pu Lang explained this way: "While you were sending that silly boy Taylor to Mogu Ridge, Hyde and I ran through the streets and alleys of Digong City, and then we found a store with the most complete materials, so we bought got those things.”
"I see." Guan Heng touched his chin and nodded: "So, I have to thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work, Lord Baron."
"But I don't have storage equipment." Pu Lang shrugged and said, "So you have to accompany me to get those things."
"Storage equipment?!" Suddenly remembering something, Guan Heng smashed his palm with his fist: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. I happen to have a surplus of obsidian space rings here."
"Here you go." Guan Heng threw a ring to Pu Lang: "Although this thing is just a fake enchantment suit, it is indeed a genuine storage equipment."
"Haha, I also have a space ring." Pu Lang smiled proudly and quickly put the ring on his finger, looking around with great joy.
Guan Heng reminded him: "But you have to pay attention. If this ring is used for too long or exceeds its capacity, it will crack. Then you come to me and I will repair it for you with plaster."
"Okay, I'll take note of this." Pu Lang smiled and nodded. At this time, the three of them had almost finished breakfast, so they got up and left the restaurant and arrived at the door of the hotel.
"By the way, do you still remember what I told you about the Forger Worm?" Guan Heng stood at the door and said to Pu Lang: "You said you have to think carefully before you can recall the information about this insect-shaped monster. , do you have any impression now?"
"As for the origin of the Forge Worm, the records in the ancient books are not very clear." Pu Lang shook his head slightly and said, "I only remember that this insect-shaped monster has long been extinct due to natural disasters. If you have one in your hand, A living Forger Worm is truly a miracle."
Guan Heng thought for a while and felt that it was too early to talk about this now, so he said: "Okay, the Caster Worm is currently sealed in strange plaster. When we return to Kauru King's capital, we will open it and take a closer look. Let’s study it.”
"Hey, you two, stop chatting." Hoadley, who was leaning against the door, hugged his shoulders and smiled: "Look, the carriage sent by Mrs. Linka to pick us up has arrived."
"Da da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from far to near. Finally, the coachman tightened the reins and stopped the car firmly in front of the three people: "Mr. Guan Heng, Baron Plan, and Captain Hoadley, please get in the car, Lin." Mrs. Ka is already waiting in the private room of the auction venue."
The three people chatted and laughed and got into the car. The driver immediately raised his whip and urged the horse, and the car flew away in a cloud of dust. A moment later, there was a private room on the second floor of the auction venue in the center of Digong City.
"Haha, Guan Heng." Seeing Guan Heng come in, Taylor immediately jumped down from his chair and ran to him with a silly smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. When are we going to the capital to play?"
"Well, when the auction is over, we can set off." Guan Heng smiled and patted Taylor on the shoulder, then asked the Crimson Countess: "Sister Linka, are there any rare items in the auction today? "
"What is being auctioned today are some rare magic crystal ores." Mrs. Linka explained carefully: "Thousands of meters below the inaccessible ice peak in the northern part of the Ashton continent, this kind of crystal ore is everywhere, but it is extremely difficult to mine, so these Crystal mines are extremely expensive luxury jewelry, and they also have high practical value."
"It turns out that the auction today is for crystal mines." Guan Heng nodded slightly: "I have also heard that some families who specialize in mining crystal mines for profit live in the ice and snow environment of the north. These ores must belong to those families The people were transported to Digong City, right?"
"Well, your guess is absolutely correct." Mrs. Linka said: "The three powerful forces that operate minerals in the north are the Shihu family, the Leijie family, and the Misuan royal family. Excavation and sales have basically been taken over by them. We have a monopoly."
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" At this moment, in the middle of the auction venue, the auctioneer on the high platform tapped the chassis with a gavel and announced loudly: "Everyone, today's auction has officially begun."
"It's strange. The mysterious guest who was in the private room on the left yesterday seems to have not appeared yet." Guan Heng glanced at the private room where the mysterious guest stayed yesterday and thought to himself: "I don't know where that woman came from. It feels like she’s going to make some kind of surprise attack.”
Just when he thought of this, Guan Heng's ears suddenly twitched, and he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the room behind him. Guan Heng carefully distinguished the sound, then the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile suddenly appeared: "Here it comes, it seems she wants to do it too." I want to take something from the auction today. I hope it won’t conflict with our group. I really don’t like to have anything to do with this woman. She seems to have an inexplicable dangerous aura about her.”
Guan Heng raised his head and glanced at the private room on the left. The mysterious guest was already sitting on the rooftop of the room. The other party seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, and suddenly glanced around. Guan Heng quickly looked away and looked at the auctioneer's eyes. direction.
The auctioneer clapped his hands twice, and four strong men immediately placed a piece of gray-white ore four or five meters square on the table. The auctioneer introduced: "Everyone, this is a rare piece of ore that has not been polished and dissected. It comes from The white crystal mine under the ice peaks in the north.”
"As we all know, white crystal, a magical material, can greatly increase the healing power of the light system." The auctioneer said loudly: "The low price of this piece of white crystal raw ore is three thousand gold coins. Please feel free to bid now."
White crystals are only for the increase of light magic. They are also used as interior decorations in rich people's mansions. Therefore, their general value is not particularly high, so they are the first to be auctioned.
At this time, the guests at the venue began to bid for the auction. Although the "five hundred or one thousand" quoted by each person was inconspicuous, after a while, the white crystal raw ore actually increased to 12,000 gold coins. Above, the price has quadrupled, which actually surprised Ran Guanheng.
"I didn't expect white crystal to be so popular." At this moment, Guan Heng muttered in a low voice: "Should I also make a price?"
"Don't do it." Mrs. Linka covered her mouth and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, this is a trick used by businessmen who sell ore."
"I have been engaged in the trading of ores for several years in the past, so I still have a certain understanding of the methods involved."
The crimson countess then explained softly: "In my opinion, the reason why the guests present today are interested in bidding for white crystal is because yesterday someone spread the news in the market that 'the white crystal mine is exhausted and the price is about to increase'. So these people all have the idea of hoarding and want to buy the raw white crystal ore."
