"That lucky boy is here too, oh not just him, but also the other two in his sect." Here, no one will randomly spread their senses to check the people around them, and Chang Qing just After observing the familiar trio through his own eyes, he smiled and said to Cao An.
"They probably came here for the auction."
Because of their line of sight, the three people over there also quickly noticed them. They smiled and nodded towards them as a greeting. In less than a quarter of an hour, the auction started on time. The auctioneer who came on stage was a gray-haired auctioneer. The old man was wearing a gray robe and his long hair was meticulously groomed. At first glance, he gave people a serious feeling.
From top to bottom, the old man exuded a kind of rigor and propriety, that is, every step he took was as if it was measured according to the standard of a ruler, almost interpreting decency and rules to the extreme.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to trust and support our Jinshi Chamber of Commerce. I am today's auctioneer Zhong Jia. In recent days, our Jinshi Chamber of Commerce has also received a number of entrustments from distinguished guests from various countries. The number is huge. Within the original deadline, , if we take over all of them, it will be impossible to complete the auction. Therefore, we have screened some of the commissions and asked all the distinguished guests who were present and not present to forgive me if after the auction, you still intend to hand over the lots to us. If the Chamber of Commerce operates, then we still sincerely welcome you.”
"All the items auctioned today are consigned by distinguished guests from all over the world. There are only two rules for the auction. First, bidders must ensure that they can pay the price they bid. Second, bidders are strictly prohibited from disrupting normal bidding in any form. Now we invite you to the first auction item, which is an ancient sword, handmade by a famous craftsman from the Central Empire."
"According to the appraisal by the appraiser of this Chamber of Commerce, this sword was originally an eleventh-grade treasure weapon. However, after being damaged, the grade was reduced and cannot be repaired. Even so, it is currently among the top ranks of the ninth-grade treasure weapon. It is the fire element Attribute treasure weapon, starting price is 100 low-level Yuanjing, start bidding."
The black curtain on the table was opened, which had the effect of isolating spiritual thoughts from viewing. After the curtain was opened, the ancient long sword appeared in front of everyone. It was red all over, one finger wider than the normal sword, and the tip of the sword was broken. There was a section, as if it had been cut off directly by a sharper weapon. The eyesight of those present was enough to see the smooth fracture clearly.
With just one broken sword, an eleventh-level treasure weapon was knocked down to the ninth level. Cao An noticed that there were actually two dragon heads in the mouth, which was quite unique.
There will naturally be no shortage of masters of the six scenes with fire element attributes among those present. For them, the bonus of a high-grade treasure weapon with corresponding attributes, even to a certain extent, is only far better than the promotion of realm. Once the induction passed, you could detect the surging fire energy contained in it, and many people raised the signs in their hands.
In the hall, everyone had different expressions. Cao An sat down calmly, picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth.
Is the ninth-grade treasured soldier the first item to be auctioned? Is it really because there are too many treasures that the ninth-grade treasured soldier can only be used as the first lot? Or is it that the ninth-grade treasured soldier was released specifically to arouse emotions?
He is not interested in this thing, but is more interested in the things at the auction. This is also a form of travel, a kind of experience. Traveling in mountains and rivers is practice, and experiencing human relationships and seeing all kinds of things is also a kind of practice. .
In the end, the sword was bought by a fat man in flaming red brocade. The final price was 500 low-level essences, which was a full five times the original starting price. The old auctioneer had a faint smile on his face, and the fat man also had a smile on his face. With a satisfied smile, it was obvious that this was a happy transaction for both parties.
No, it should be said to be three parties. After all, there is still a client who has not shown his face.
"Next, let's bring out the second item for auction today. This is a book from the civilization period of the gods. According to the client, the user can learn anything he wants to know in the book, as long as he understands By praying in a book and completing specific rituals, you can get the answer, but you need to pay a certain price, which is random." After the auctioneer finished speaking, he opened the box with that special trait.
The box fell towards the edge in all directions, and the appearance of the book appeared in front of everyone. It only looked like a book that had been opened from the middle, but everyone could sense that the book could not be seen at all. When flipped through, it only has the appearance of a book and the traces of stacked pages, but in fact, it is not for people to flip through.
Cao An looked at this book and inexplicably thought of the crustal layer in his memory. It was so similar.
"The Book of the Prophet has started to be auctioned, with a starting price of five hundred essence yuan!"
"Wait a minute, before that, I want to ask a few more questions. Is this book really a place where you can get any answers?"
The auctioneer nodded, "Yes, according to the client's statement and the verification of our appraiser, the Book of the Prophet can give you any answer, but only if you can pay the price, no matter which distinguished guest present finally bought the book. , it is not recommended to ask questions that exceed your own strength and qualifications."
"What will happen if I ask but can't afford the price?" The person who asked the question is still the same person, a man with a tiger's back and a waist, wearing a tube skirt. The clothes and color tone do not look like someone from the Yin Dynasty.
"If you can't pay the price, you can only die. This is the only outcome. This is also the result verified by our Jinshi Chamber of Commerce."
The answer is unremarkable, but it reflects a question. This answer is piled up with human lives. Who knows how many people they killed to confirm this answer.
"Who among you still has questions?"
The man who stood up continued to ask: "Last question, what are the usual costs?"
The auctioneer's expression changed slightly: "It varies from person to person. The currently known costs include financial ruin, bad luck, casualties of close relatives, etc. The simpler the problem, the smaller the price."
The shooting officially started as the man took his seat. Although there was a price, the enthusiasm of the people present could not be extinguished. Everyone would have curiosity in their hearts and some answers they wanted to know, love, hate, and hatred. , life and death, the future, if this book can really give any answers, the so-called price is actually not that important at this moment.
"Sir, are you interested?"
Cao An shook his head, "The answer I want to know is destined to be unaffordable. If it weren't for the price, I'm afraid it would never be the second one to be auctioned. I feel that the price is far more important than the price." It’s far from as simple as what the auctioneer said. If it weren’t for the side effects that make it necessary to get rid of such a magical object, its owner would never be able to do so.”
Chang Qing thought thoughtfully, "So the Gold and Stone Chamber of Commerce lied about the price in order to get a good price?"
After a pause, he continued: "In fact, it may not be a lie, it's just that I didn't tell the whole story."
"That's right. Look at the number of people present. How many bidders are there?"
Chang Qing glanced at it, and sure enough, despite shouting cheerfully, the number of people was not even one-third, and among them, some of the shills of the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce were probably excluded...
