One hundred thousand gold coins may have been a jaw-dropping number for players in the free world a year ago, but it no longer sounds so shocking. The players inside the auction hall did not appear because of this at this time. The bids in the corner showed no signs of surprise, allowing the auction to proceed gradually in a casual atmosphere. Seeing that her bid was overshadowed in an instant, the mysterious woman who took back her number plate also let out a sigh. She was just paying attention to the side, but she turned her head at the next moment, with a slightly surprised look. It was revealed from under the hood that covered the face: "What's wrong, you two? Do I have any questions?"
"We can't even see your face, how can we tell what's wrong?"
After muttering these words in a low voice, Duan Qing's eyes were filled with sadness: "No, no, you have to calm down Duan Qing, it's just one hundred thousand gold coins, isn't it? It's no big deal..."
"He was just startled by you just now, please don't mind." The black line on his face flashed across his face, and Xueling Huanbing, who had been sitting between the two people, pressed his forehead and replied: "But Your spending is really generous."
"Really? I just gave it a try by shouting a little bit." She replied with a slight smile, and the mysterious woman's gentle-sounding voice also appeared in her head turning movement: "Look at this With the performance of the long sword and the momentum that so many people are pursuing, it’s probably impossible to win it with 100,000 gold coins.”
"Look if you don't believe it." She held her head with her exposed white palms and gestured forward as if she was sighing: "There are more rich people here than I thought. "
The sound of the auctioneer's hammer then covered up her voice, and at the same time brought the new round of auction ahead to its final destination. The participants sitting here were not in the mood to pay attention to the auctioneer at this time. The player who walked up to the stage and took the auction items away focused his attention on the next round of auctions. Looking at the sky-high price of the long sword displayed on the magic screen above the hall, Duan Qing's twitching tongue seemed to taste a bit of bitterness. He no longer paid attention to the auction and then turned his attention to the auction. Behind the division, there were those who were standing in a vague line in the inner passage of the hall, each holding an auction item in their hands: "Can we leave?"
"What are you looking at?" Next to him came the angry voice of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Men just like to look at women with less fabric on their bodies, right?"
"We're just looking for what we want, don't get me wrong." Waving his hands, Duan Qing muffled his voice and begged for mercy: "I'll find out if there is the dragon glow grass we want. If not, we will What are these poor weaklings doing here?"
"That's why we have to cooperate."
The lowered voice seemed to have no effect. The voice belonging to the mysterious woman later intervened in the conversation between the two people. The expressionless Xue Ling Huan Bing then had no choice but to slowly straighten up his upper body and move the unknown woman beside him. The familiar mysterious woman's head was revealed: "Look at this lively auction, look at these potential competitors, do we still have to hold on to the prejudices in our hands and let those big businessmen benefit? Do you want to sit back and enjoy the results?"
"Well..."
She shed a few drops of cold sweat, and Duan Qing's voice was full of embarrassment and lack of confidence: "He, cooperation is of course possible, but we, we... well, we may not have much capital..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We can share it according to the price." She put the back of her hand in the direction of her face, and the mysterious woman's joyful voice became a little clearer: "Let's make a bid first, and if necessary, make a guaranteed quotation. , when registering, we will check the capital together, and then divide the herbs obtained according to the proportion of our respective bids."
"Round up the fractions - no, I don't want the extra part." The extremely skilled voice became faster and faster, and the woman said these clear words to the expressions of Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing. De gradually became sluggish: "I only need the one I need. The extra ones are of no use. If there is only one... uh, if there is only one, how about we solve it internally? Anyway, there are only two of us. Fangren, everything is easy to discuss."
As the auction ahead was still in full swing, the mysterious woman's gaze from under the hood became intense. She stretched out her head and then suddenly retracted it as if she had just realized something. Along with her constant The coughing voice returned to its original gentle and low tone: "What do you think, reconsider this invitation?"
"..."
The corners of his mouth twitched in shock, and Duan Qing's reply voice also became trembling: "This, that, listen, it does sound like a very good proposal..."
"Then it's a deal." She waved her clenched fist in front of the two people, and the mysterious woman's voice became a little more relaxed: "Tell me your base price, it should be almost time - well, I'm talking professionally Are there too many nouns?”
This last sentence was muttered by this mysterious woman in a low voice. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then raised her head again as if she had sorted out her mood: "I mean, how much do you plan to pay? "
"us--"
"The next auction item is a blockbuster item provided by the Vipas Alchemy Association!"
The exaggerated announcement belonging to the auctioneer still echoed around the hall as usual. The voice that sounded no different from before quickly attracted the attention of the three people sitting in the corner, and they cautiously stretched out their heads. Duan Qing then also cast his gaze forward, and what caught his eye was a graceful and graceful girl holding the auction items and gradually walking up to the stage: "I have already seen it in the previous auction. I appreciate the enthusiasm of everyone present! I believe that all the ladies and gentlemen present will also favor this next item! Because this is a rare item that few people know about in the Free Continent, and it is also the dream of all alchemists. The finest materials!”
"Its name is Dragon Splendor Grass!"
He held the microphone with one hand, and with the other hand he raised the small glass bottle in the girl's hand high: "It only grows in the ancient dragon cemetery, relying on the power of absorbing the remains of the dragon's bones to The surviving herbs! They are essential materials for refining the power of the dragon, and they are the last crystallization left by the ancient dragon clan on this free continent!"
Simply mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, the auctioneer's voice became as high-spirited as the professional standards he represented. Some players sitting in the hall seemed to be aroused by this rhetoric, and like Duan Qing, they The focus of his attention was focused on the finger of the auctioneer in front of him who suddenly pointed to the sky: "Such a rare herb is now directly in front of you! Only adventurers who truly dare to spend a lot of money and use gold coins to prove their worth and strength can You are qualified to own this life that contains the power of the ancient dragon!"
"Starting price - twenty thousand gold coins!"
In the scene where a certain gray-robed magician's face darkened, the auctioneer spoke out the reserve price that was not in line with the previous praise with great energy. The players who were aroused then raised their respective prices. The number plate instantly raised the numbers displayed on the magic screen in front of him. Duan Qing's breathing seemed to begin to become rapid with the shouting prices. Duan Qing, who clenched his fists, seemed to be trembling all over his body. Unlike him and Xue Ling Huan Bing next to him, the two people sitting upright The mysterious woman next to her looked eager to try: "Seven...eight...almost."
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
She raised her number plate, and then looked around at the other people present with expectant eyes. Several players who were still raising prices to compete with each other shook their heads and stopped following her offer, as if He was unwilling to put down any more weight for this medicinal herb: "... Phew."
"very good."
Clenching her fists and cheering up, the mysterious woman slowly withdrew her expectant gaze. The spirit that she had just wanted to relax became tense again as a shout sounded from the other side of the hall. He also held up another number plate in the corner: "No. 78, 110,000 gold coins!"
"Finally a new competitor has emerged!"
With a jaw-dropping speed, he put away the hammer he was just about to knock down. The auctioneer shouted in the direction of the number plate: "One hundred and ten thousand gold coins! Is there any higher price than this?"
"hateful."
Seemingly knowing the person holding the number plate No. 78, the mysterious woman angrily uttered a few curse words, ignoring the gazes around her, and then after a period of silence, she raised her own sign again. : "Two hundred thousand gold coins."
"Two hundred thousand!" Then the auctioneer returned to the other side of the hall with even more excited and expectant eyes: "This lady has offered two hundred thousand! Is there anyone willing-"
"Three hundred thousand."
As if deliberately creating a confrontational situation, No. 78 wooden sign quickly gave a positive response. The mysterious woman who seemed to have made up her mind then gave up the hesitation that originally appeared on her body and raised her hand next time. His movements also became much more mature and fast: "Four hundred thousand."
"Half a million."
There were high prices at the auction that all the participants had never imagined, attracting their attention to the left and right corners at the back of the hall. They even grabbed a few VIP seats at the front, left and right. The wealthy men hugging him also showed expressions of surprise, and their gazes on the glass bottle on the stage became different. In such a strange atmosphere, the alternately rising quotations kept appearing between the two number plates and the magic screen hanging above the hall. The tense atmosphere also began to become obvious in the breathless expressions of all the players. Only that station The auctioneer holding a gavel in the center of the stage showed a surprised and proud expression on his face, and his high-pitched shouts and announcements never stopped: "Nine hundred thousand! Mr. No. 78 has raised the price to ninety Ten thousand! This is simply an astonishing amount of gold coins, and it is also the most direct affirmation of this dragon glow grass!"
"Is there any additional price?"
Everyone's eyes turned back to the mysterious woman, and the long-lost silence also returned to the outline of the body that looked quite mature. She lowered her head so that they could not see her face. The number plate held up beside him seemed to become as heavy as a boulder. After a while, it slowly rose above his head: "Ninety...ninety-five..."
"one million."
Before the words were fully spoken, the voice from No. 78 had already come to her in advance: "Don't continue playing, add another hundred thousand, thank you."
"one million!"
Different from the calmness and indifference in the other corner of the hall, the auctioneer repeated the number again with extremely high-spirited momentum. The heart-pounding number then continued to echo in the scene where all the players gasped. , and after a long while, he disappeared into the beautifully decorated hall with silver walls as the main color. The magic screen hanging above seemed to be ushering in the lottery festival at this time, decorating the conspicuous number with various magic effects and light and shadow reflected around the hall, until a large amount of intoxicating atmosphere began to disperse, and the crowd When the commotion began to gradually dissipate, the auctioneer shakily placed the glass bottle in his hand carefully on the display table in front of him: "The Woy Auction House, which is affiliated to the Woy Chamber of Commerce, has grown rapidly since its opening. It’s been a long time since such a high price has appeared again! Now it appears again in this dome! What a blessing! Congratulations!”
"but!"
Mastering the main theme of the atmosphere in the entire hall, the auctioneer used a heavy twist to bring back the chaotic attention and buzzing commotion of the players present: "This is not over yet! Because our buyer No. 136 has not yet Quit! Our bidding is not over yet!"
"So, Ms. 136, what are your choices?"
He shifted the attention of everyone present from himself to the mysterious woman, and at the same time raised his arm holding the magic microphone: "One million, first time!"
"One million, for the second time!"
In the scene where countless vague and expectant eyes kept scanning this corner, the mysterious woman did not make any movement for a long time. It was not until the announcement that represented the end was almost coming to the end and the gavel was about to fall that she slowly He tilted his head: "You, you—"
"Are you really not going to take action?"
A pair of eyes mixed with various emotions fell on Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing, causing the two players to touch their noses and cover up each other's expressions, trying to pretend they didn't know anything. The intention was then ground down little by little with more and more interesting observations, and finally turned into a hand raised by a gray-robed magician with his head lowered as if he had stomach cramps.
"One, one...one million and one million."
