Chapter 224 Corpse and Ice Coffin
In situ, under the gaze of many people, an auction is still starting.
However, compared to the first item, the value of the second item is much lower. It is just some works of art collected by the ancient elf nobles, which may be precious to the mortal nobles, but not worth much to the wizards. Not to mention a formal wizard like Adil.
Few wizards, except for a few wizards with a penchant for this kind of stuff, would make an offer.
In the end, the second auction item was bought by a middle-aged wizard in a red robe at the price of five magic stones.
Next, more and more things are auctioned here, most of which are precious antiquities used by some elf nobles, or some low-level magical items.
These things basically have one characteristic, that is, they are related to the ancient elves. It is said that most of them were excavated from the ancient elves.
During this auction process, Adil also made a few shots and bought some gadgets that were also interesting to him, most of which were magic items excavated from ancient elf ruins.
Most of these magic items have been repaired. After all, even things made by wizards will be damaged after tens of thousands of years, and it is impossible to maintain their original appearance.
The ones that can be auctioned in front of them are mostly the ones that are still in good condition. After some simple repairs by wizards, they are put up for auction, and their power is mostly weak.
The reason why Adil bought these things was not because he wanted to use them, but because he just wanted to study the magic items made by these ancient elves and see if they could derive some of the alchemy skills of the ancient elves.
Ahead, the auction continues.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the red-robed old man in charge of the front was standing in the center of the stage. Beside him, several burly men who looked strong and strong worked together to lift a huge blue ice coffin. come up.
After lifting it up, they opened the lid of the ice coffin to reveal its contents.
A touch of cold wind blows out, with the dust and dust that has been covered for a long time.
At this moment, there were several wizards present whose expressions changed, as if they felt something, and they all looked into the ice coffin.
I saw that on the ice coffin, a beautiful-looking girl in a light blue dress was lying quietly inside, her eyes closed, just as beautiful as the sleeping beauty in fairy tales.
Unlike ordinary girls,
This girl has long pale silver hair, and her ears are much smaller than normal people. On the girl's body, there is also a faint mana fluctuation that is constantly escaping, with a deep chill.
"This is!!"
At this moment, many wizards present changed their expressions, staring blankly at the elf girl in the ice coffin in front of them.
"This was recently excavated from an ancient ruin. According to the age, it is in the period of the bloody disaster."
In front, feeling the gazes of the people around, the old man in charge of the host nodded with satisfaction, and began to explain to the people below: "According to the information obtained at the time, this dead elf girl should belong to the elf of the ancient times. The royal family may even be a princess, so it can be protected so well after death."
He pointed to the ice coffin in front of him: "Everyone, this ice coffin is also a unique magical item, specially made by ancient wizards and wizards to protect the corpse, as long as the corpse is put in, within a day It will be crystallized, so that the corpse will always remain the same as when it died, and will never rot."
Looking at the people below, he explained enthusiastically and loudly, and then said the price of this auction item: "Together with the corpse and the ice coffin, the starting price is one hundred magic stones!"
As soon as the voice fell, the place fell into silence at first, and after a while, a voice sounded: "Two hundred magic stones!"
"Five hundred magic stones!"
"Eight hundred!"
The voices kept ringing in place, and in a short period of time, the price of this ice coffin was shouted at a thousand magic stones, and the price was still slowly rising.
In a room on the side, when he saw the ice coffin in the distance, Adi suddenly stood up and looked at the ice coffin in the distance with fiery eyes.
To be precise, he was not looking at the ice coffin, but at the lifelike corpse inside the ice coffin.
"It seems that there are still a lot of good things in this auction." On the side, Fred's voice sounded again.
He looked at Adil who stood up beside him with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "We are lucky, the ice coffin made by the ancient elves can not only preserve the body well, but also the material of the ice coffin itself is a kind of The precious materials that are about to become extinct have been seen less and less in recent years."
Unlike Adil, his interest is obviously not in the corpse in the ice coffin, but in the ice coffin.
The same was true of the other wizards present, except for a few who had eccentricities, the rest of the wizards didn't even look at the corpse.
The corpse enclosed in the ice coffin, once taken out, will lose its crystallized state after a period of time and become a carrion.
No matter how beautiful a girl is, if the corpse is rotting, it is just a puddle of rotten flesh, and it will not attract the slightest attention of these wizards.
Unless the corpse is a pure-blooded ancient elf king, then perhaps there is a way to obtain the powerful blood of the ancient moon elf from the corpse.
But if this corpse is really a pure-blooded elf king, then it is definitely impossible to get it here for auction.
Although the corpse of an ordinary elf royal family also has strong research value, it is far less precious than this ice coffin for the wizards present.
"unacceptable!"
As the surrounding atmosphere became warmer, a voice sounded in a corner.
Solana looked at the elf girl lying quietly in the ice coffin in the distance, with some anger in her eyes: "It's okay to disturb the sleep of the deceased, and now it is blasphemy to even take out the body of the deceased for auction!"
She looked at the people around her with quotes, feeling extremely angry in her heart.
Because of the bloodline of the ancient moon elves in her body, although she does not have the qualifications of a wizard, she has always longed for the beauty of the ancient elves. Therefore, she has always been disgusted by the desecration of the elf corpse.
What's more, the corpse that was taken out for auction at this time was not only a beautiful elf girl, but also possessed the blood of the moon elf in her body, and it was more likely that she was also a princess.
Similar identities and bloodlines, she had to feel close to the corpse in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel very repelled by the current behavior of taking the corpse out for auction.
It is a pity that even though she is the princess of the Gao Luo royal family, she is not naturally qualified as a wizard, so she does not receive much attention. At this time, the magic stones that can be mobilized are limited, not enough to compete with the surrounding wizards, and she can only look around. The wizard keeps quotes.
In front of him, under the bidding of many wizards, the price of this ice coffin was raised to 2,500 magic stones, and the voice of the bidding gradually fell and no longer sounded.
The wizards present basically knew the value of the ice coffin in front of them. Even if you add the corpse of the elf royal family inside, it was only the price. No matter how high it was, it was not worth it.
"It seems to be the price." In the corner to the side, looking at the ice coffin in front of him, a wizard whispered.
"Three thousand magic stones."
At this time, a voice sounded again. Although the voice was calm, it was firm, making people feel his determination.
Everyone around looked in the direction of the sound, but found that the sound came from a small room.
"It's the wizard."
Looking at the direction the voice came from, Solana's eyes lit up: "I remember he came with Lord Fred."
"Three thousand magic stones! Does anyone else offer a higher price?"
Ahead, the host's excited voice sounded again.
The old man in red robe, who was in charge of support, looked excited and looked at the direction of the sound. Although he was a little surprised, he still tried to shout, expecting someone to continue to bid.
Only this time, there was no sound from below.
A white-robed old apprentice who had bid 2,500 magic stones before looked at the host on the stage and shrugged helplessly.
"Okay! Congratulations to this lord for getting this ice coffin!"
Looking at the reaction below, the red-robed old man announced loudly.
"The price of three thousand magic stones is a bit expensive."
In the room on the side, looking at the ice coffin that was carried down in front, Fred was eating a white fruit while looking at Adil and smiled: "This ice coffin plus this corpse, two thousand five hundred The magic stones are almost at their limit, and three thousand magic stones are a bit of a waste."
"It's ok."
Adil smiled and shook his head, looking in a good mood: "I have some experiments recently, and I need some corpses of the elf royal family with pure blood."
"You want to try to extract the blood of the ancient moon elves from the corpses of the royal family of elves?"
Looking at Adil, Fred guessed.
Listening to his words, Adil did not deny it, and nodded directly.
"That's good, but it's too hard."
Fred nodded: "The purification of the ancient blood has always been a big difficulty for the wizards now. I still remember that when I was young, I did many such experiments."
"What's the final result?" Adil asked him looking at him.
"Without a doubt, I failed."
Fred spread his hands: "If the blood of the ancient creatures is so well purified, then the current wizards will not be weak to this point."
Hearing this, Adil nodded lightly.
It is extremely difficult to purify the blood of the ancestors from the blood that has faded, even in ancient times.
If Adil hadn't had a chip, he could directly observe the chain of blood in the blood through the chip, then it would be impossible to do this.
"But even though I failed, I also gained a lot from the crazy experiments during that time."
In front of him, looking at the expression on Adil's face, Fred smiled and said, "There are many wizards who do this kind of experiment. If you want to do this kind of experiment, you don't actually need to collect materials at the auction. "
"In some places, there are places specially excavated from the ruins to sell the bodies of ancient elves. If you want to collect experimental materials, you can go there."
"kindness?"
Listening to Fred's words, Adiel was stunned: "Is there such a place?"
"certainly."
Fred said with a smile: "In fact, there is such a place in our market here, but the scale is relatively small."
"But you have to be mentally prepared. Generally, such elf corpses with good blood are not only rare in number, but also very expensive."
He looked at Adil and explained: "After all, from the ancient times to the present, it is not easy to just keep the corpses."
"I can understand." Adil nodded, expressing his understanding.
Ahead, as time passed, auction items appeared one by one.
However, after the ice coffin, Adil had no interest in other auction items, except for occasionally auctioning off a few items, he didn't care about the rest.
After a while, as time passed, the auction gradually came to an end.
Adil and Fred walked out of the room together, followed a certain path, and soon came to a hall.
There, several people were already waiting at this time.
"Hello, two adults!"
Seeing Adil and Fred, an old man in a white robe stepped forward with a smile and looked directly at Adil: "Sir, you have auctioned seven items in total. After our calculation, A total of seven thousand three hundred magic stones."
"Seven thousand three hundred magic stones."
Hearing this number, Adil nodded lightly, no surprise.
In the previous auction, in addition to the ice coffin, he also took a few other things, and the price is not low.
He took out a small bag from his arms and counted out the seventy-three high-level magic stones. He asked casually, "Can you exchange high-level magic stones for magic crystals here?"
"this···"
It seems that Adil didn't expect to ask this question, the white-robed old man was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "Of course this is no problem."
"It's just that if you usually use ordinary magic stones to exchange magic crystals at our chamber of commerce, our chamber of commerce still needs to take 1% of the handling fee."
"Cough..." A cough suddenly sounded.
Listening to the words of the white-robed old man in front of him, Fred's face was not good, and he looked at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, and a unique spiritual fluctuation escaped and was instantly suppressed.
Immediately, the white-robed old man in front of him turned pale, and before he could react, Fred's voice sounded again: "This is Lord Adil, who is also the guardian wizard of our Goluo Kingdom."
"The guardian wizard of the Gora Kingdom..."
Listening to Fred's reminder, the old man in front of him immediately reacted, looking at Adil in front of him, his face suddenly became respectful and fiery: "Of course, for a formal wizard like your Excellency, this hundred One-half of the handling fee can be completely waived!”
PS: Friends recommended a book "Rebirth of the Chinese Food Saint" The following is the introduction:
Li Yu, the youngest chef in China, was accidentally reborn into a parallel world where the ban on meat has just been lifted.
What? Global recipes have broken inheritance? The most famous oriental cuisine is kimchi?
Of the 108 dishes of the Manchu and Han banquets, there are only more than 20 dishes left in existence?
The eight major cuisines are out of ten, and the Chinese cuisine is actually supported by the 'drawing silk' series?
･･･
I haven't read the book, and I recommend it as a friend (the author of lazy cancer urges readers not to hit me)
