The host's voice helped Cody get out of his embarrassment. At least Moses and Coffey didn't look at him anymore, but there was nothing Cody could do as the waitresses still snickered.
The pregnant host waited for the entire auction house to quiet down, cleared his throat, and continued: "Everyone sitting here is basically a regular customer. Other friends should also know our rules, so I won't tell you. Nonsense is a waste of everyone’s time. Next, here’s the first auction item.”
Soon a waitress came out from the backstage, carrying a tray covered with red envelopes. She carefully placed it on the booth in front of the host, then took a few steps back and stood there. The host stepped forward and opened the red cloth and said: "The first thing is a weapon forged by Master Galal, a short sword named Silver Light. As for the quality of the Silver Light Sword, I won't say much. Galal Master Er's name can determine his quality. This silver lightsaber has been in our auction house for more than two months, and it was something that our boss had originally used for collection. However, because there is no suitable opening item for this auction, only If you can bear the pain, take it out and win a lottery. If you have any friends who doubt the authenticity of the Silver Light Sword, you can go on stage to identify the authenticity for yourself. The sword has Master Galal’s unique mark on it.”
After the host finished speaking, he motioned to the guests below to check as they pleased, but no one came on stage. The reputation of the auction house has always been good, and there has never been any shoddy quality. It is obvious that the Silver Light Sword was indeed made by Galal, so there is no need to go up and prove it. And although there were mostly warriors at the scene, there were only a few who used daggers. No matter how good Galal's weapon was, not many people would buy something that didn't have much effect on them.
Seeing that no one questioned, the host continued: "The base price of the silver lightsaber is one thousand gold coins, and each increase will be at least one hundred gold coins. Starting now."
Cody's eyes kept jumping back and forth between the silver lightsaber and the knight's sword in his hand, in disbelief. I knew that the weapons forged by dwarves were valuable, but I didn't expect them to be so valuable. An unpopular dagger was worth a thousand gold coins. My own knight's sword seemed to be of similar quality, so I didn't know how much it would be worth.
"I'll pay you a thousand gold coins."
After a while, people in the audience began to bid. Few people used daggers, but there were also people who specialized in using this easy-to-carry and inconspicuous weapon, just like some members of the Assassin's Guild.
"Eleven hundred gold coins. I just need a dagger on the wall at home to make up the number."
Then a middle-aged man with a similar build to the host shouted. Not only warriors, but also some nobles like to collect all kinds of strange things.
Cody sat in the private room and watched the people bidding below. He said to Moses, who had an arm around the waitress and opened his mouth to let her feed the fruit: "Senior, they are just shouting prices like this. The host can tell who is shouting." Is it? Also, what if someone bids randomly and doesn’t want it anymore in the end?”
Moses glanced at this country bumpkin and said, "Do you think anyone can be the host? If he doesn't have special abilities, why should he be the host? This host can distinguish everyone's voice and voice with his ears. There will be no confusion about the location. This is called professionalism. Do you understand? Every time the auction ends, the person who took the item will be left behind to complete the transaction in the back yard. As for the chaos you mentioned It doesn't matter if the person bids or has no money to give in the end. If the latter makes a mistake in bidding, the auction house will usually warn them once and then deduct their deposit. Do you think that anyone here can do it? Can you participate? You need someone to introduce you, and you need to pay a deposit of 1,000 gold coins. As for those who bid randomly, who knows the consequences. Anyway, as long as the backstage can't match the owner of the auction house, they will basically die on the street the next day. .”
Cody nodded to express that he understood. Thinking about it, if you don't have any strength, how can you hold such an underground auction? The supporters behind it must have a lot of background. Moreover, there will also be auctions of some things that the royal family cannot deal with normally. Maybe there is a shadow of the royal family behind them.
Soon, the price of the silver lightsaber reached two thousand gold coins. After the host gave a sound of hammer falling, it meant that the auction of this item was over.
For two thousand gold coins, Cody couldn't help but want to sell the knight's sword. Didn't Galal say that this knight's sword is worth two amethyst coins? How come the silver lightsaber is sold for twenty amethyst coins? Even if the quality of the knight's sword is not as good as the silver lightsaber, it is still worth ten amethyst coins. After all, this is the most popular sword.
Cody didn't know that if the price of Galal's two amethyst coins was too high, Cody would actually sell it. If the price was not reached, he was afraid that Cody would doubt his character and level. . Moreover, the average price of Galar's works is about the same. Moreover, he is a simple-minded person who only knows about forging and drinking. How can he know how popular his works are outside. Besides, the price he sells for is what he sells, and it is different from the price competitively offered by the auction. If it is similar to the price he sells for himself, how can other auction houses make money?
"Cody, what are you doing with your broken sword all day? Do you think your own sword is worth this price?" Seeing that Cody has been observing the knight sword, Coffey couldn't help but said.
Cody was unconvinced and said angrily: "How do you know if it's worth it? My knight's sword was also made by Galal, so why can't it be worth this price?"
"Oh?" Coffey originally thought that Cody's sword was just a good-looking decoration. Moreover, he knew that Cody's identity was just the eldest son of a viscount, so he didn't think he would be able to wear a good knight's sword. After all, He is not a warrior and does not need these things. "Bring it over and let me take a look. I really don't believe this is the work of Master Galal."
Cody threw the knight sword directly over, intending to open this guy's eyes.
Kofi pulled out the Knight's Sword, and looked closely at the blade and hilt. After turning it over and over a few times, he returned the Knight's Sword to Cody and said, "It is indeed the work of Master Galal, although there are some places where it looks strange." It looks a little rough, as if it was made in a hurry, but it is indeed authentic. Look for yourself. There is a hammer logo on the blade. It is not engraved on it, but it is perfectly integrated with the blade. With your hand, it is Nothing unusual can be found, this is the unique technique of the dwarves, and this hammer represents the identity of Master Galal."
Cody took a closer look and found that it was indeed as Coffey said. There was indeed a pattern of a hammer on the sword body, and there was no feeling when touching it with his hand. It was as if the pattern grew from the inside out, but Gala My taste is not ordinary. The name of the shop is Big Hammer, and my own logo is also a hammer. But I didn’t expect that Galal did have two brushes. "Then tell me how much this knight's sword is worth. Even if it's not as good as the silver sword, it shouldn't be too bad."
Kofi smiled bitterly and said: "This can't be compared. Except for some rough details, your knight's sword seems to be as good as the silver lightsaber in terms of quality. And the significance of the knight's sword is much greater than that of the dagger for most warriors. The specific price I’m not sure how to evaluate it, but if it were put up for auction, the price would be higher than the silver lightsaber.”
I thought that the price of the Knight Sword would be lower than that of the Silver Light Sword, but I didn't expect that it would surpass it. It seems to have a special meaning, and it would have a different price in the eyes of many people.
"So valuable? It makes me want to sell it."
Hearing Cody's words, Kofi, who had been planning for a long time, immediately answered: "If you plan to sell it, I am willing to pay three thousand gold coins. If you think it is not enough, I can also add a silver lightsaber."
Cody was confused and asked: "What do you mean, what about the silver lightsaber? Wasn't the silver lightsaber bought by someone else?"
Moses, who was chewing something in his mouth, pointed at himself and said: "The silver lightsaber was originally a pair, and now it is only one of them that is being auctioned. Don't look like this, the silver lightsaber is my thing, I can't use it, so Now I have sold a handful, mainly because I have no money to drink recently. The auction house will protect those customers who do not want to disclose their identity, so I became the boss in his mouth. Except for the auction items, the auction house is basically a lie. Originally I planned to use the other one for collection and fun, but if Cody wants to sell the knight sword to Coffey, I can give the other silver lightsaber to Coffey in exchange for your knight sword."
"Don't say it so nice, I won't know you are trying to get my magic stone." Kofi glanced at Moses, who looked like a man with a disgusting look, and then said to Cody: "It depends on whether you are willing to , if you are willing, I can give you the money right away, and I can hand over the silver lightsaber to you tomorrow at the latest. That guy Lifilar is so damned, he actually tried to steal this knight sword with a few gold coins. "
Cody swallowed, but shook his head and said: "Forget it, I plan to give this sword to my father, and have no plans to sell it."
Hearing that Cody didn't plan to sell it, Kofi didn't say anything more. He liked the knight's sword, but it wasn't necessary yet. With his status, it was not difficult to get a good sword. , and the owner of the sword is Cody, so he can't force him.
Cody didn't say anything, just thinking about whether he would go to Jalal's shop again and find a way to get some junk that he didn't like for resale. He could tell that Galal seemed to be interested in his identity as an alchemist, otherwise he wouldn't have given him such a valuable thing out of nowhere. At most, the money earned from selling it would be 50-50, but those things would be a waste in his place anyway.
After several hammer blows from the host, several items were sold, but they were just decorative luxuries, and the price did not exceed the silver lightsaber for the time being. One of them, Cody, was interested in, but the price was not something Cody could afford, so he could only secretly say that he couldn't afford it.
After the last item was carried down by the maid, the host said: "Today's auction items are more expensive than more expensive. Now there are only three items left. Let's take the first one first."
As the red cloth on the tray carried by the maid was removed, a beautiful gemstone necklace appeared in everyone's eyes, but it did not cause much movement. After all, the few luxury items just now were as good as this necklace in appearance. But no one thinks this is an ordinary necklace. If it were ordinary, the auction house wouldn't put it at the back.
The host didn't show off and explained with a smile: "Don't think this is just an ordinary necklace. If that were the case, there would be no need for our auction house to continue. This is a magic weapon with a high-level magic light." Brilliance. Everyone who is precious about magic weapons also knows that, let alone those with advanced light element magic, and most importantly, the magic does not need to be stimulated by the owner, and will release magic independently at special moments. In addition to protection, the radiance of light also It has a strong healing effect, so this magical weapon can be said to be able to give the wearer a chance to survive in times of crisis. The starting price of this radiant necklace is fifty thousand gold coins, and each increase in price is at least one thousand gold coins. The auction begins now."
The auction started, but no one bid. Not only were they shocked by this life-saving magic weapon, but the price was also beyond the budget of many people. The starting price of this one item has already exceeded the total price of all previous auction items. Although no one bid, the host was not in a hurry. He knew that this was only temporary and that such a good thing would not be sold.
"Sixty thousand gold coins."
Cody looked at Moses in shock as he casually raised the price by 10,000. He didn't understand why he suddenly gave such a high price. No one had even bid for it. Aren't you afraid of giving too much? And he didn’t just say he had no money to drink.
Moses explained: "The price is not high. They didn't ask for a price. They just didn't know how much to ask for. The price of this magic weapon is definitely more than 60,000. I will directly increase it by 10,000, which can also dispel some people who want one." It’s the idea of increasing the price a little bit to test the water, otherwise if one person adds a little bit, I don’t know when the photo will be taken.”
Cody nodded in understanding.
"I will pay sixty-one thousand gold coins."
Sure enough, soon someone started calling out the price.
"Sixty-five thousand, I'll pay sixty-five thousand."
"You are dreaming. You want to take a picture of this magic weapon for such a small amount of money. I will pay you 80,000."
Soon, the price reached 150,000, but now, there are far fewer bidders. Some people are short of money, and some people feel that they don't really need this thing.
After 150,000, the price was temporarily set. When the host wanted to ask if anyone had increased the price, Moses said again: "180,000, if anyone can give a higher price, I will give up. "
The audience was silent for a long time. Before the host sounded the third hammer blow, a deep voice sounded, "One hundred and eighty-five thousand."
The host smiled broadly. He had already wanted to make a decision as early as the price of 180,000 yuan. At this price, his commission would be quite a lot. Unexpectedly, because of his hesitation for a few seconds, the price increased by another five thousand.
"Is anyone raising the price? This is a rare life-saving charm. One hundred and eighty-five thousand, one hundred and eighty-five thousand twice. The third time, the deal is done. This glorious necklace belongs to this gentleman. "As the host's hammer came down, Cody saw from a distance that the man who took the photo of the glorious necklace breathed a heavy sigh of relief. This should also be his final price.
Seeing a magic weapon sold for such a price, looking at the Cato bracelet and ring on my hand, I wish I could go back to the academy and work hard to refine magic weapons. This is simply a road to wealth, even though my skills are still very poor. . I used to think that the amethyst coins I had on me were already a fortune, but now it seems that I can't even afford them.
