In the year 1006 of the Holy Calendar, it is the last day of the month of vitality.
The Shining Auction was held as scheduled in the Shining Tavern.
The person who presided over the auction was the charming and sexy lady boss.
Wearing a revealing outfit, she came to the center under the gaze of all the males.
And the auction officially started.
Levi wore a white wolf mask and sat in the last position.
With his financial resources of one hundred gold coins, he should only be able to buy one item at most at this auction. After all, the only people who can come to the Shining Tavern are wealthy people from the north. In this era where nobles are everywhere and their titles are not as good as those of dogs. , who is not a nobleman anymore.
There will be ten lots in the monthly auction, usually commissioned by tavern members. As far as Li Wei knows, by paying one hundred gold coins at a time, you can become a Shining Member of the Shining Tavern, which is valid for five years.
During the validity period, members can enjoy free admission tickets and free auction handling fees.
Levi knew that many of those damn rich nobles were members of the tavern. For example, his father was a noble shining member during his lifetime, but it was a pity that members could not inherit it.
The first auction item is a knight's sword. Based on Li Wei's current level of third-level casting, it can be seen that the workmanship of this knight's sword is very sophisticated, far exceeding his own. It should be made by a master, and its shape is simple. A bit like the old craft.
"This is the sword of a great knight of the Vigijoid family a hundred years ago. It is a magical weapon made by the craftsman "Hammer of Fire" Hagrid Amon a hundred years ago. Whether it is in actual combat or in collection, everyone has it The price is quite high, the starting price is 10 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 5 gold coins."
With the charming voice of the landlady, the atmosphere of the whole place was suddenly ignited.
"Oh my God, the first collection is so awesome."
"The Flame Hammer was a famous craftsman in the North a hundred years ago. He was once the royal blacksmith. What he produced must be the best."
A knowledgeable blacksmith exclaimed.
Levi was also surprised. In the past year, besides learning forging, he also learned about the kingdom's forging history from Xiaomilan's mouth and some forging books. "Hammer of Fire" is definitely an amazing blacksmith.
In essence, blacksmiths do not have a realm similar to knights, but people still divide blacksmiths into three levels based on their reputation and the quality of their forging.
Blacksmith apprentice, that's what Levi is today. However, as a third-level blacksmith, he should be regarded as a senior apprentice. He is just a short distance away from graduating and becoming a formal blacksmith, which is the distance to build a pair of armor.
Above the blacksmith apprentice is the formal blacksmith, Little Milan's father. Old Toby is such a forger. The armors worn by Levi and Fred Knight were made by Old Toby. Unfortunately, Old Toby was snatched away by the Wild Boar Gang. , but Levi will get it back sooner or later.
A person who has reached the pinnacle of achievement in the forging profession and is recognized as a forging master by the nobles and knights of the kingdom is a "craftsman".
Such a person will receive a large number of commissions every day, and countless noble knights will beg to build a magic weapon for them. They have a noble status and are an absolute treasure in any force.
The gap between a formal blacksmith and a craftsman is comparable to that between a knight and a great knight.
In the end, this knight's sword made by a craftsman was bought by a wealthy nobleman for 100 gold coins.
You know, no matter how good this knight's sword is, given the technical limitations of this era, its value is definitely not worth a hundred pounds of gold. It can only be said that the brand value of the craftsman has increased too much.
Li Wei also firmly decided to continue forging. When he becomes a master craftsman, he should be able to achieve financial freedom.
The second lot is a knight's plate armor made of the best ghost iron produced in Rocky Mountain. It is said that a full thumb-sized mithril is melted into it. Compared with ordinary iron, ghost iron has many aspects. The performance is much higher, but the melting point is also extremely high and it is difficult to forge.
Mithril is a legendary material. Only where meteorites fall from the sky can Mithril be produced. According to the witch Gullweger, Mithril is an extraordinary material recognized by wizards and is the most beautiful material. Inexpensive "ether" conductive material.
This knight's armor was sold for four hundred and eighty gold coins.
"This piece of rubbish plate armor is far inferior to my frost giant magic armor. It can be sold for hundreds of gold coins. Mine is made of full-body mithril, and its value cannot be measured by mortal gold coins."
Finally, it was time for the breathing technique session that Levi needed.
"Everyone, the Breathing Technique to be auctioned this time is sold in two packages. They are the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique of the Frostwolf family and the Giant Bear Breathing Technique of the Rock Bear family. The starting price is 100 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 gold."
"Although these two breathing methods are superficial blood breathing methods, as a nobleman's breathing method, it still has some collection value. If there are any breathing method collectors here, you can consider it."
The proprietress seemed worried that these two breathing techniques would not be sold, so she spared no effort to promote them.
Hearing the words of the female proprietress, Li Wei's expression changed. He did not expect that the breathing techniques of his two neighbors would be auctioned.
"It seems that the descendants of my two neighbors, the Frost Wolf Knight and the Rock Bear Knight, have been reduced to selling the ancestral breathing techniques to make a living after my father's death. However, these two breathing techniques are only superficial and bloodline. Except for me, no one will buy the breathing method..."
At the auction, other nobles and knights also started talking about it.
However, after half a ring, there were only scattered bids.
In the end, when Li Wei shouted the price to 120 gold coins, no one stopped bidding.
Li Wei successfully bought two bloodline breathing techniques for 120 gold coins.
This price is quite reasonable.
If it is a non-bloodline breathing method, even if it is at a superficial level, if you don't have a few hundred gold coins, you can't even try to win it.
Bloodline Breathing is a priceless treasure for disciples with the noble bloodline, but for most people and other outsiders, it is useless.
After all, you can't practice it after buying it, you can only use it for collection. Even if the nobles have money, they don't spend it randomly like this. Especially in this war-torn era, the money should be used to buy necessities such as weapons, armor, and food.
After the auction ended, Li Wei hurriedly left the auction site after getting the breathing method. He changed into a new set of clothes and went to the Jade Chamber of Commerce to prepare all the other secret medicine materials. Except for ambergris, other materials very common. As for the snake blood needed for the secret medicine, Levi bought a basket of "white crystal snakes", which are unique snakes in the cold climate of the north.
In addition, Levi also visited the library and some bookstores in Icewind City. He spent a lot of money to buy anything that might be related to wizards.
Then, Li Wei traveled all night. This time he took a relatively remote mountain road. Apart from encountering some wolves on the road, he did not encounter any robbers or bandits.
In the year 1006 of the Holy Calendar, it was the second day of the Moon of Green Grass.
The tired Levi arrived at Blackwater Valley. Knight Fred in the castle finally relaxed when he saw the returning Levi.
