Chapter 321
Sea Auction, the event the Demingham Heathens look forward to every season.
This year’s auction was postponed for some unknown reason. The auction that was supposed to be held at the end of September was just postponed to the end of October.
All booths will be cancelled on this day, leaving only the middle auction booth.
Not only will this move not reduce the number of heretics, but according to the situation in previous years, it will nearly double the number, and if nothing else, there will be some common sea markets. Rare characters.
Even if it snows tonight.
It is normal for snow to fall in the early morning in winter. The ship is not far away from the sea, and snow starts to fall from the sky. At this time, it is impossible to make the ship turn around. Sell umbrellas.
“It’s fortunate that the snow is not strong, or else I won’t be able to see what is being auctioned later…Donald, how much did you prepare for the auction this time?”
The masked Stephanie’s voice sounded a little dull, but there was still a faint hint of excitement.
Although she has lived in Demingham for a long time, the auction of the sea market is indeed the first time Stephanie has participated, because she did not have much savings before, plus Regarding the question of personal innate talent, there are not many things on the market that can help her.
Naturally, I don’t have this concern when I am with Donald. For this auction trip, Stephanie also expects that the materials needed for the emotional innate talent potion are not general, although they are not as powerful as shaping Insane, but it is not so easy to collect, so she is also looking forward to the auction trip this time.
“Money? I don’t have much money. I haven’t been to the sea market a few times during this time, and I only have what I have left before.”
The collar stood up to cover the gap at the neck, Donald said something casual.
The scrolls made by Donald did make money, but they were all used by him for the merits of the Anomaly Bureau, and the number of times they were actually sold at the Sea Bazaar was only the previous few times.
Therefore, when it comes to cash, he doesn’t actually have much on him, and the total sum is about 50 gold pounds.
“50 gold pounds, isn’t it enough?”
For an ordinary person, the purchasing power of 50 gold pounds is enough to support a family for several years, but for this level As far as the auction is concerned, it is naturally another statement.
It’s no problem to go up and compete for a lottery, but if you really meet something you like, this amount of money is not enough.
And Stephanie also knows that Donald currently lacks three materials for the innate talent potion, all of which are extremely rare items.
Five-leaf clover needless to say, in addition to it, there are magic worm crystal core and fire scale fish blood.
The crystal nucleus of the magic worm, as the name suggests, is the crystal nucleus of a strange beast called the magic worm, and some people say it is its heart.
Magic worms only live in some crystal mines that contain special energy, and rely solely on the energy needed to maintain their lives. Apart from this, they neither need to eat anything nor excrete.
This special habit also means that during the entire life process, the magic worm is like a crystal mining machine that can only enter and cannot enter, constantly extracting the purest energy in the crystal. Collected, as the crystal nucleus of these energy aggregates, it is naturally precious.
The body of the magic worm often changes differently due to the nature of the crystal mineral deposits in which it is located.
For example, the magic worms in the Fire Element spar mine show the color of molten lava, which is the carapace they secrete to protect their body, and has a very strong Fire Element resistance. Because of eating Fire Element crystals, a lot of energy is accumulated in the body. Once provoked, Fire Element shocks can be released with no difficulty.
Are you familiar?
Yes, the worms are very similar to the phantom slimes in this regard, except that their form changes basically only once in a lifetime, and they cannot follow the phantom slimes. Change your physical state as the elements in your environment change.
Often the traces of magic worms are found, which means the discovery of spar deposits, and now the entire Ryan Empire seems to have no more than 100 crystal mines. Don’t think this number is very large. Based on the territory of the entire empire, this It’s already a pitifully small number.
As for the fire scale fish, it is even more wonderful.
With fire in its name, many who hear it for the first time think it lives in Fire Mountain Cliff pulp.
On the contrary, fire scale fish are often found in Extreme Cold areas. This kind of fish is accustomed to living in ice water. die.
The reason why they are called fire-scale fish is simply because their scales show an orange-red flame color, which looks like a group of burning flames in the distance among those glaciers. name.
The temperature of fire-scale fish blood is extremely low. It is said that it needs to be kept continuously with ice cubes for storage. Even if the temperature deviation is caused by the slightest negligence, the fish blood will lose its effectiveness in an instant.
These two distinct things may not have any effect for most people, but for some people who can use them, they are more valuable than anything else. Once they appear, the price will naturally not be low.
So Stephanie was a little worried about what Donald would do if he encountered these two distinct things later.
“Don’t worry, there aren’t enough gold pounds, so I’ll make up for it.”
Not much cash doesn’t mean that there aren’t many valuable things. For the auction at this time, Donald’s recently every day all is He went to bed late at night, and he made no less than 30 wolfhound scrolls alone. This alone is worth hundreds of gold pounds, not to mention that he still has real treasures in his hands.
The boat docked, and the sea market tonight was another scene. The lampposts that used to shine everywhere now concentrated all the lights in the most central area.
In the bright yellow light, the snowflakes in the sky are covered with a golden-bright and dazzling shell, and below the light is a bustling crowd of heretics.
“didn’t expect Demingham to have so many heretics…”
Taking Donald’s arm, Stephanie went to the island Looking around at the heathens in groups of three or four, the largest gathering of heathens she had ever seen before was probably the day of the Anomaly Bureau’s assessment.
The voices of the pagans arguing with each other rang out here, and the scene inevitably changed to a noisy direction. This is a common phenomenon in the sea market, and this state is not necessarily people. Feeling annoyed, in fact, the people around are often very interesting to talk about various Rare Items and some special events.
When this kind of content gradually increased and became mainstream, the sea market began to form a special atmosphere that made the whole person involuntarily excited.
As the crowd moved forward, Donald was carrying a bag, Lilo was carrying a bag, and Stephanie was carrying a satchel.
Stepping into the area shrouded in the halo cast by the lamppost, Donald’s first sight was the large booth in the center.
The square structure, with two overlapping stone platforms, is nearly five feet above the ground.
This height is just right, so that people in the distance can see the auction items, and it is not so high that people close by will be obscured even if they look up.
All pagans are only allowed to stand at the front of the booth. One meter in front of the booth and the left and right sides as well as the back must be left empty.
This is to ensure the safety of the auction items, and to prevent the hot-headed robbery of some heretics who have no money but want to get the treasure.
This is not an uncommon occurrence, and it happens quite often in the first few auctions.
After all, the rules of the sea bazaar had not been laid down at that time. Some foreign pagans always thought that this was just like their usual. When they saw something good, they would try to get it. Kill the people who are blocking them together and then grab the treasure.
Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent.
Until these people were hung on the reef outside the sea market to be eaten by the Sea Beast, turned into half-human, half-skeleton disgusting corpses and sun-dried into mummified corpses, this act of courting death was really effectively contained.
The auction of the sea market is an event that belongs to the heretics. What everyone is looking for is the auction items that are treasured in magic. Naturally, there are no bells and whistles of ordinary auctions. After the area was almost filled with people, some people started to take the stage.
“Welcome to the quarterly auction of the Sea Market!”
“Oh”
Cheers sounded from all areas.
“There are a total of 30 pieces in this time auction, Rare Item, exotic beast, special item and the most popular innate talent scroll, everything!”
“Oh ”
The atmosphere reached another climax.
“We’ll have our No. 30 lot below!”
Auctioneer is also a smart guy, he doesn’t sell anything, just say a few words and get straight to the point .
Besides the booth, women in bright costumes took to the stage with solid gold trays and sterling silver covers in their hands.
“Lot No. 30, Rare Item made with the tail feathers of the blue-crowned bird as the main material, floating feathers.”
“The effect is that after use, people can It has the ability to levitate within minutes, and can levitate and drift in any direction by waving its feathers. The speed is no less than that of ordinary cars on Demingham Street. 10 meters!”
“The starting price is 30 gold pounds, and each increase shall not be less than 2 gold pounds!”
Name, effect, price, the voice just fell, and the bottom immediately Some people raised placards, and there were still quite a few.
“Rare Items with floating movement effects can not only be used to leave the battlefield, but also can be used to cross some special terrains. 30 gold pounds is definitely not enough, and it is estimated that it will cost about 50 gold pounds.”
p>
Donald, who just came from the auction promotion, doesn’t intend to bid on this item. He has a water skateboard, and floating feathers are at most a “spare tire” for him. worth.
He was looking forward to what he wanted, and at the same time he was thinking about how much the auction item he had just sent could be sold.
