Chapter 495: It was also missed
"I see." After hearing what the attendant said, Gothe nodded and made no next move. Instead, he chose to turn around and walk towards the corridor leading to the auction hall.
Although he was going to send the two extraordinary fifth-level ornaments that Sarah found from Gray Explosion Island as relics of the Black Wing Gang to the auction according to the plan, thus attracting the attention of Davy Jones, the big boss behind the scenes.
But it certainly didn’t mean that the auction hadn’t even started yet, so he just took out these two valuable extraordinary jewelry and sent them for auction.
Performing is a complete set.
Must give the impression that one has to act as a last resort due to financial difficulties.
So, for the first two days, he will participate in the auction normally, as if this mission never existed.
Humbling through the long and narrow corridor, your eyes suddenly opened up.
An extremely wide hall came into view, and the overall light was slightly dark. Although it did not conform to the tone of the auction hall, it was consistent with the habits of the people of the City of Black Sails.
The ground is paved with polished obsidian.
The rock surface is covered with fine honeycomb-shaped pores, which gives a slightly astringent feeling of friction when stepped on, but is not rough.
The gaps in the splicing are embedded with finely divided phosphorescent coral powder, which glows with a faint blue light in the dim light of the auction hall, outlining the path leading to the central auction stage.
The Blue Flame Islands do not produce obsidian. These are purchased from outside at a high cost.
The tabletop of the central auction table is made of a dark golden deep-sea sunken ship deck. There are still jagged gaps on the edges that have been gnawed by sea beasts, but they have also been polished as smooth as a mirror.
At the very back of the auction table, there is a huge light curtain.
The seats on both sides of the hall extend upward along an arc in a stepped manner, spreading out layer by layer, surrounding the central auction table.
All seats are made of reinforced sunken ship wood and covered with a layer of dark brown leviathan leather.
There is also a palm-sized crystal board installed next to each seat. The basic information of the current lot is displayed on the board with a dim light, and it is also equipped with several price increase buttons in different colors.
This is the most basic alchemy machine in technology. It is only used for temporary display of information and auctions. On the top floor of the stepped seats, there are eight independent boxes, which look very much like a captain's cabin. The box doors are in the style of a brass steering wheel. The door can be opened and closed by turning the steering wheel.
The window of the box is made of a specially treated giant jellyfish canopy. The translucent canopy can block the outside view without affecting the internal view.
In addition, there are iron chains hanging on the edge of the umbrella canopy, and rusty bells are tied to the chains, which will make a dull sound when someone comes in or out.
A total of only 800 tickets were released for the All Souls Day auction.
One ticket can bring one additional person with you. Even if each ticket is fully configured for two people, the number of people participating in the auction will only be 1,600 at most.
Therefore, the entire auction hall has only 1,600 seats.
In fact, many people do not attend every auction.
Especially the "200 gold coins" auction in the first three days, unless there is something that happens to be of interest, many people may just pick one or two of them to watch the excitement and enjoy the auction.
Hence, at a glance, the nearly 2,000 seats on site were sparse and far from full.
Gothe opened the Mandora Magic Eye and scanned the circle, and after a moment he came up with the exact number of people: 1014.
It was still some time before the auction started, and most people remained silent in their seats.
Some people lightly clasped the armrests with their knuckles, their eyes wandering in the surrounding shadows, and some simply lowered their hoods, as if to blend in with the seat beneath them.
There were clearly a lot of people in the entire auction hall, but there was an almost stagnant silence. Even the breathing seemed to be deliberately suppressed, which made people feel more depressed than the noise.
And half of the guests were dressed like Gothe, hiding their figures and most of their faces in their robes. Coupled with the dim light of the auction hall, it looked less like an auction and more like a shady conspiracy.
Gaode randomly chose an empty seat in the middle, sat down side by side with Lan Wen, and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
Because I came on time, I only waited for about twenty minutes before the clear bell rang in the auction hall.
As the bell rang loudly, the wide open doors of the corridors at the back were slowly closed.
Almost as soon as the door closed, two brighter lights lit up on the central auction stage.
An old man wearing a dark purple robe and with white hair slowly walked onto the stage.
"Dear guests, please wait." The old man swept the whole place with a cryptic look. His voice was not high, but it spread throughout the whole place through the amplification alchemy machine set up on the auction table: "Then I will not waste time with any nonsense. Let’s go directly to the first auction item.”
There was a slight commotion in the venue, and the people who were leaning on the backs of the chairs sat up straight, and the lowered heads were slightly raised, and their eyes under the hoods were all directed towards the stage.
Everyone knows that even if it is a "200 gold coin auction", the principle of a good start applies to everyone. As the first lot at the All Souls Day auction, the specifications are definitely not ordinary.
As the old man's voice fell, the auction table in front of him suddenly cracked from the middle, revealing a deep passage. The "click-click" sound of mechanical operation was particularly clear in the silence.
After a moment, a crystal column half a man's height slowly rose. The column was as clear as ice, with a light blue runic halo flowing on its surface.
Two beams of light accurately hit the crystal column, illuminating the contents of the tray at the top of the column clearly.
It was a half-meter-long corpse of a strange sea beast.
There are translucent membrane wings on both sides of the flat torso, and the wing membranes are covered with spiderweb-like light golden lines. Even if it is dead, there is still a weak electric halo slowly flowing between the lines, like captured lightning trapped inside:
The tail is as long and thin as a whip, with three barb-shaped bone spurs at the end. The tips are glowing with a dark cyan luster, which is obviously highly poisonous.
The most peculiar thing is that its head has no obvious facial features. There is only a diamond-shaped depression at the end of the snout. The depression is inlaid with a spar the size of a pigeon egg. Lightning seems to be flowing slowly inside the spar, and when it occasionally collides, it will make a subtle popping sound.
It is sealed by a crystal cover engraved with antiseptic and vacuum runes, and the light blue rune aura flows along the edge of the crystal.
"The first item to be auctioned is the complete body of the deep-sea electric lizard that the hunting fleet had just hunted in the shipwreck area of the cold sea three days ago. Because it has only been three days, it still retains some of its vitality..." Pure venom can be extracted from the tail spines of the deep sea electric lizard, which is an excellent raw material for making high-level paralysis potions:
The wing membrane has extremely strong lightning resistance. After being peeled off, it can be used to make small armors or the lining of robes;
"Of course, these are just additions. The most precious thing about it is the electric core crystal on its head. It is a rare element condensation and contains pure thunder element energy."
The old man suddenly raised his voice, pointed at the dove egg-sized crystal and said Said: "Because it has not been cut out, the essence of it has not been dispersed at all, and the retention rate of thunder element energy is close to 99%. If a mage who practices thunder attributes is willing to use his own magic power to guide the energy into his body, he will have to endure the pain of thunder and lightning refining, but he can quickly increase his mage level."
"This is a third-level thunder element condensation, so it has obvious effects on mages of the third ring and below."
Then, the old man took a step back and used the spotlight to completely cover the entire body of the deep-sea electric lizard. "Except for decomposing its body, because it still retains some activity. If a mage who is good at golemology and puppetry takes a picture of it, he might be able to create a thunder lizard golem that obeys his orders. The body of a third-order sea beast, coupled with the control of a mage, its combat power can be imagined."
"The starting price is 2,000 gorse coins. There are four buttons on the right side of your seat. Pressing them will increase the price by 50 gold, 100 gold, 500 gold and 1,000 gold!" As he finished speaking, the light screen behind the white-haired old man suddenly lit up, revealing a huge 2,000 gorse coin.
The value of a third-level sea beast is generally between 2,000 and 2,500 gold. For example, the Garrote Chapter that Gothe killed when he first arrived at the Blue Flame Islands was valued at 2,300 gold.
But the deep-sea electric lizard in front of me is obviously a fighter among the third-order sea monsters. The final price will inevitably exceed the upper limit of 2,500 gold because the value of the electric core crystal with almost perfect energy retention alone exceeds 2,500 gold.
It's just that I have practiced two cultivation methods at the same time, one is the wood attribute, and the other is the ice attribute. Neither of them can compare with thunder, so I don't have much interest in this thing, so I'm going to take a look at Lehe.
Here, after just one breath, the numbers on the light screen jumped, changing from 2000 to 2100, with the word "45" appearing next to it.
“The guest in Seat 45 bid 2,100 gorse coins!”
Blue Flame Auction House understands the needs of its customers very well. During the entire auction, you only need to press the button next to the seat to call out the price. No need to make a sound at all, protecting the privacy of the guests to the greatest extent.
Coin..::
"3000 Plantagenet coins, the guest in Seat 45 will directly pay an additional 500 Plantagenet coins. Is there any higher price?" The white-haired old man's voice was full of deception, and he kept tapping the crystal cover that fastened the Deep Sea Electric Lizard's body, making a snapping sound.
However, guest No. 45’s determination to win by 500 gorse coins seemed to have deterred other competitors, so they were left in the dark for a while, with no one raising the price again.
"3,000 gorse coins once...twice...three times!" The white-haired old man shouted three times in a row, finalizing the decision, "Congratulations to Guest No. 45 for winning the first lot of this All Souls' Day auction, a deep-sea electric lizard body!"
The first auction item sold for a high price of 3,000 gorse coins, which was undoubtedly a good start and aroused the atmosphere of the auction.
"Similar to previous auctions, the items to be auctioned next will be various raw materials." The white-haired old man added.
The crystal pillar carrying the body of the electric ray lizard slowly sank under the stage, and immediately a new crystal pillar rose next to it.
On the tray on top of the crystal column, there is a dark green crystal the size of a fist.
The existence of the magic crystal prevents the mage from absorbing its energy to improve his mage level. However, embedding this magic crystal on the staff can increase the power of wood element spells and poison spells. All mages who practice related magic can consider purchasing it. "
"Starting price, 250 gold!"
Gaode, who was sitting in the corner watching the show, felt something in his heart.
This bone-eating vine magic crystal is actually somewhat similar in nature to the electric core crystal, but the latter is extremely pure, while the former contains a lot of impurities, which limits its scope of use,
But the poison energy is an impurity to other people, but it is not an impurity to him!
Not only is it not an impurity, it can even be understood as a treasure.
Because he has [Adaptive] and [Elementary Green Amber Body], he can slowly metabolize these poisonous energies and improve his poison resistance along the way.
After removing these poisonous energies, the remaining wood element energy can help him quickly improve his practice progress in the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality".
Thinking like this, Gothe reached out and tapped the first button next to his seat.
"Guest in Seat 66, bid 300 gold!"
"300 gold for the first time!"
"300 gold for the second time!"
At this time, a number appeared on the light screen, 300 suddenly changed to 350, and the number 45 was displayed next to it.
The customer who bought the Deep Sea Electric Lizard made another bid.
Gaode was slightly moved. It is normal for someone to bid. However, judging from the appearance of the previous bid, guest No. 45 is obviously wealthy. If this situation continues, the price may be much higher than expected.
He thought for a while and chose to press the second button to directly increase the price by 100 gorse coins.
"Guest in Seat 66, the price is increased by 100 gold. The current price is 400 gold!" The white-haired old man's tone rose a little.
The price of 400 gold is actually more than the value of a second-level extraordinary material itself.
The guest No. 45 was rich, but he was certainly not taken advantage of. If he bid any higher, he would have to pay 450 gold, which was obviously not worth it, so he didn’t bid any more.
After the white-haired old man shouted three times in a row, he made the final decision.
Gaode looked happy.
The price of 400 gold is actually a bit high for the Bone-Eating Vine Magic Crystal itself, but for him, it is a huge bargain.
No wonder the plot of picking up leaks has become a classic...it turns out to be because of this feeling, which is really exciting!
It can be considered that I missed it!
The All Souls Day auction is extremely fast-paced.
After the final word was made here, the crystal pillar immediately fell, and another crystal pillar rose accordingly.
"A piece of reverse scale of the second-order red-scaled fish, which is a high-quality material used in medicine....:" The third lot is a palm-sized red scale.
On one side, the old man was enthusiastically introducing the lot. On the other side, an attendant brought the packed bone-eating vine magic crystal to Gaode's seat, opened the box, and asked Gaode to confirm.
After Gaode confirmed that the items were correct, he nodded with satisfaction. Lan Wen beside him immediately took out the 400 gorse coins that he had ordered earlier, put them in a money bag, and handed them to the attendant.
The attendant counted the gold coins, closed the box again, and handed the Bone-Eating Vine Magic Crystal to Gothe.
oolgenelves’ ″ Third-order Molten Core fragments...
gene Up in in in on in on in s. br/> Various extraordinary materials are used for making potions, staffs, robes, and golems... They are also used for various purposes, but most of them are at the second level.
This level is in line with the tone of the "200 gold coin field".
However, except for the Bone-Eating Vine Magic Crystal, there was no one Gaode was particularly interested in, so he chose to watch in a low-key manner.
When the number of auction items reached the sixtieth, the type of auction items finally changed, no longer from raw materials, but to finished products.
