The auction was held in such an atmosphere: the nobles in the audience gathered together to chat with themselves, the host of the auction table stood next to the lot, and then described the characteristics of the lot in detail, and then quoted the lowest bid price acceptable to the owner, interested nobles will move forward and ask some questions, and those who are not interested can chat at will.In short, there is no tension in this kind of auction like in a large auction room, and there are a variety of things that can be put up for bidding.My eyes kept looking at the two-meter-high black iron armor on the terrace on the second floor, just as rumored, this Nagraman armor only had the upper body, and each armor part forged with magic black iron had finely forged dense lines, and those lines were like countless parallel wavy lines stacked together, and the black armor exuded a dark luster, which looked extremely heavy.The upper body of the Nakma is no different from that of humans, but the lower body is like a large lizard, they have a thick tail and four legs, and they are covered with black hard scale armor, so they only need to put the upper half of their body on armor to go to the battlefield, so the black iron armor of these Nakma people only has the upper body.I visually inspected the approximate dimensions of this armor and found that this half-length armor seemed to fit well for those barbarian slaves, the only flaw was that the battle skirt and shin leggings composed of armor pieces were more perfect, and I kind of wanted to run to the second floor to take a closer look.I couldn't figure out why such a well-made black iron armor was put here to sell, so I turned my head and asked Arya, "Why would they put these loot from the Kenda plane to auction at a private auction, shouldn't they take advantage of the news of the victory to hype up a wave and then sell it at a big auction for a good price?"
”Arya smiled and whispered: "Don't underestimate this kind of private auction, there are many noble lords who have private transactions, and they all know through these private auctions, and this kind of small-scale private auction is very common in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital. ”She then said to me: "A lot of loot will choose to trade at such a private auction, there are too many factors involved, there may be some aspects that are not visible, put here to buy and sell, no one cares about this." ”She raised her head and followed my gaze to the armor on the terrace on the second floor, which looked like a half-length statue of a god, and she gently smacked her lips and said: "I didn't expect the black iron armor of the Nakma people to be so big, originally I thought about whether I should take the opportunity of this Kenda plane victory to persuade you to buy some black iron armor, but I didn't expect that the shape of this black iron armor is too different from what I imagined." ”Arya whispered to me: "I heard in the morning that you want to buy two or three hundred sets at once, and I was shocked, this kind of armor is not suitable for orc warriors to wear, let's see if there are any other high-grade leathers, take a picture, I will help you find the top leather shop here in the imperial capital." ”"Arya, you said that such a set of magic black iron upper body armor, how much can you shoot it?"
I stared intently at the black iron armor and asked Arya.Arya's eyes widened and she said to me, "You can't really fall in love with that black iron armor, do you?"
”"Of course, why would I be here, wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay at home?"
I smiled at Arya, who waited for me to look at me angrily and ignored me.After only three seconds of silence, Arya came up to me again and said to me: "Although the forging process of the Nakma people is unique, but this black iron armor is too large to fit the equipment of the Imperial soldiers, and once it is modified, it will face the problem of returning to the furnace and recasting, in that case, if you buy these armors, it is better to buy black iron ingots directly or customize them directly in the blacksmith shop." ”I reached out and shook her hand gently, before I said, "Let's take a look at the starting price first, in fact, I want to bid on these black iron armors, not for orc warriors, but for other purposes." ”Since you want to prepare a magic pattern for the orc warriors, the leather must be thicker, the physique and strength of the orc warriors are much stronger than the human warriors, many human warriors like to wear light leather armor, and for the orc warriors, only hard leather armor can be regarded as leather armor, so I am ready to find an opportunity to buy some heavy leather.I said to Arya, "I've had some plans to make a rudimentary magic pattern for those orc warriors, and I'm sure I'm looking for some high-quality leather, at least three.
Grade Warcraft leather. ”I suddenly felt a little inflated when I said this, to be honest, when I returned to the imperial capital from the Hiero plane in the summer, the orc warriors had just replaced thirty sets of swamp giant crocodiles' hard leather armor, but this hard leather armor did not have the outermost skin, so these leather armors could not be made into magic pattern structures.I didn't think I'd have to change their armor so soon.In fact, in the future, whether it is defending against the Nibru spider-man warriors in the Trum region of the Hiero plane, or exploring the Ancient Altar in the savage swamp jungle, these more than 100 orc warriors will be the biggest hole card in my hand."
I hope the Marquis Jonathan doesn't disappoint us too much."
Arya sighed, and then went on to say: "The most exciting thing about this kind of private small auction is its uncertainty, you can never guess what bids will appear on the booth in the next second, although when you enter the door, most of the lots have already been registered, but there are always some noble lords who will suddenly come up with some high-end lots on a whim." ”By the time Arya and I were chatting, there had already been five lots on the auction table in quick succession, and although several noble lords in the audience were in high spirits and eager to buy their favorite items, those few lots were some unpopular high-end goods, such as a jar of dried dragon dung and a petrified lizard's eyeballs, and so on."
What kind of mess, this kind of thing is only for adventurers, and if you get it here for auction, you can only say: this is a waste of our time."
Someone shouted in the audience, and several lots were sold one after another, and the noble lords in the audience began to look a little impatient.The host at the auction booth immediately stood up to try to calm everyone's emotions, he said loudly at the top of his voice: "Please be quiet, although the following lot does not look so precious, but for the Ming masters in the imperial capital, it has become a hot commodity recently, if there is anyone among the guests who is the Ming Master, you may wish to pay attention to it, and you can also take a closer look if you have a friend of the Ming Master, maybe you can't spend a few dollars, but you can get a thank you from the Ming Master friend." ”Sure enough, the host's words made many discordant voices in the auction hall disappear, and the auction hall instantly became quiet.Arya was also attracted by the middle-aged host's words, she stared at the booth, and didn't forget to turn her head to me and say, "I don't know what it is, I also kind of want to buy it back and give it to you, so that you can say thank you to me!"
”The two attendants carried a magic box to the auction table along the stairs, but all the items contained in the magic box were usually to avoid the loss of mana, and of course, there were also those that were put into the magic box to keep the ingredients fresh.Seeing the demon sealing box, the nobles and lords in the audience were quiet for a while, and when the host asked the two attendants to open the lid of the demon sealing box, a faint mana breath dissipated, and the auction host took out a piece of fishman leather from the box and said to the people in the audience: "A box of immaculate fish-man skin, which can be made into a fishskin hood, is currently one of the hottest leathers in the imperial capital." ”"Wow!"
Some exclaimed, others sighed.However, the atmosphere at the auction was aroused, and many people in the auction hall turned their attention to the booth.Arya laughed dumbly when she saw the fish-human skin, and then joked to me, "It's actually this!"
Do you want me to take a picture of this box of fish-man leather, and now a fishskin hood on the market has been lifted to two thousand magic crystals, aren't you tempted at all?
”In short, the turmoil about the Devil of Life has not subsided so far, and I don't want to make any more extraneous branches, in short, this matter is frozen here, and someone needs to break this silence, but that person is better not me, I don't want to push myself to the cusp, and I don't want to be the biggest beneficiary of the Devil of Life right now, there will be people who are red-eyed and jealous, in short, let this matter settle down as soon as possible, is what I want to see the most.Seeing the indifference in my eyes, Arya only made fun of me and didn't say anything more.Finally someone opened their mouths to bid, and there were still people vying for it.The host standing at the booth held the bidding hammer in one hand, secretly wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with a handkerchief, and let out a sigh of relief, and the rhythm of the auction hall finally grasped his hands little by little, which is what should be felt.The Marquis of Josenna was still in the corner, greeting some nobles, and I think he occasionally paid attention to Arya's side, but he never found a good opportunity to come over and greet Arya.In the end, the fifty fish-man skins in this magic box were auctioned by a young nobleman at a high price of fifty-five magic crystals, although these fish-human skins were all intact fish-human skins, but the price of this fish-human skin was at least seven times higher than a month ago.Just half a month ago, a cooked fish-man skin was only the price of a gold coin, and many adventure groups would basically slaughter the village when they found the fish-man village, and the one-time harvest of fish-man skins ranged from hundreds to thousands, which was a very profitable business, but before that, fish-man skins were not so popular in the imperial capital, only water magicians like to inscribe flexible thought magic on it, and the effect of this magic is: the casting speed of primary magic increases.However, almost all the magicians in the Grimm Empire are now learning time-stagnant magic, which has led to the fact that almost all primary magic can reach the level of instantaneous, and the fishskin hood with increased casting speed of primary magic has become chicken ribs.Perhaps it was during the auction of fish-man skins that someone accidentally noticed me and found that I was actually the beaten young magician in the magic newspaper, the one who held the magic pattern of life in fish-man skin, so that intermittently someone would look at me, so that Arya and I couldn't whisper a few words.I said to Arya helplessly, "It seems that the next time I want to participate in this kind of private auction, I will need to prepare a mage hood." ”Arya pursed her lips and smiled, and said to me, "It seems that the next time I ask you to go out with me, I will have to seriously consider whether I can withstand the wrath of His Highness Qige." ”As the auction continued, several sought-after lots appeared on the stand, all of which were sold at high prices, including a pair of sea serpentskin gloves with a magical skill of mind and hand, the glove's magic pattern was auctioned off by a master tailor who had been sitting quietly in the corner, I actually liked these gloves quite a lot, but when the price of these gloves was raised to fifteen magic crystals, I resolutely gave up.This kind of unmatched single item magic pattern construction, the price of fifteen magic crystals has reached the top.But then, I spent fifty-three magic crystals to shoot a fist-sized piece of adamantite, which is quite cheap, and now there is a strange circle in the magic market, that is, the price of Mithril ore has been rising because of the successive closures of major mines on the plane, and even then it is still impossible to buy goods, although the price of higher grade Adamantite gold than Mithril has also risen steadily, but the market demand is not so large, not only can it be bought, but occasionally you can see the inventory in the hands of the lord.Immediately afterwards, there were ten magic pattern spider silk cloths prepared by Arya on the stage, and the atmosphere in the auction hall appeared a small climax, many nobles were competing for each other, and the atmosphere became a little tense, but this kind of private auction invited people from the circle of nobles in the imperial capital, so everyone would not be blushing because of the competition for a magic pattern cloth.On the contrary, many nobles noticed Arya in the auction room, and people kept coming to say hello, so that Arya and I missed the next few lots, so Arya finally had to express euphemistically, to participate in this private auction, and also wanted to auction a few items, which made those who were polite and greeting gradually disperse.The reason why the spider silk demon cloth is quite popular in the imperial capital is not that the magic guide of this cloth is good, nor is it that the magic robe cut out has natural magic resistance, but that its fabric is slippery and soft, and it is cut into an evening dress to be more close-fitting, which can show the grace of the woman's body curves.The next few lots are also some of the most sought-after items in the imperial capital market, at this time, I found that the host on this auction table slowly walked up to the second floor, he stood on the terrace on the second floor, holding the set of exquisite magic black iron armor with one hand, and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, I don't think I need to say, everyone also knows, this is a complete set of magic black iron armor of the Nakma people, it comes from the Kenda plane, our Imperial Legion has won a decisive victory on the Kenda plane this time, The Great Rift in the Abyss was sealed, and a large number of these magical armors were also captured, and this magic armor was one of them."
