Chapter 502 Game
"According to the rules of our Blue Flame Auction House, we charge a commission to the seller based on a certain percentage of the hammer price. This ratio usually fluctuates between half and two percent, depending on the final transaction price of the treasure you sent for auction."
"The hammer prices of the two items you sent for auction both exceeded 10,000 gorse coins. Our auction house has always paid more attention to such high-value items. The transaction is re-facilitated to obtain scale gains, so the commission ratio is the lowest half. "
"The final transaction price of the two extraordinary jewelry is 34,100 gorse coins. We can provide you with an overall commission discount of 20% on the basis of the original commission."
"I hope that if you have similar treasures to send for auction next time, give priority to our Blue Flame Auction House."
“Calculated in this way, the commission charged by our bank is 1,364 Plantagenet coins. After deducting the commission, we need to give you 32,736 Plantagenet coins.” As the steward in charge of the auction house spoke, he stamped a seal on the auction receipt and handed it back to Gaode.
After Gaode confirmed that it was correct, he put it away.
When Lan Wen beside him heard this, he immediately coughed twice.
This is a reminder to Gaode that the money is not enough.
7264 Plantagenet Coins After spending at the auctions in the past few days, Gaode's savings actually only amounted to just over 6100 Plantagenet coins.
There is still a gap of 1,000 gorse coins.
However, Gaode was not panicked.
"I have a slight shortage of funds here and need pledges." He said to the manager.
Blue Flame Auction provides pawn sales.
The purpose is to facilitate the auctioneer to realize cash, and to solve the situation where the auctioneer is interested in a certain lot but does not have enough funds, but is too late to send it to the auction for cash.
This method is better than the speed, but the disadvantage is that the initiative is completely in the hands of the auction house.
Whether they are willing to buy your cash-out items and the specific price they offer all depends on the auction house.
In most cases, the purchase price given by the auction house will be lower than the market price, which can only be said to be for emergency use.
"What items are you going to offer in exchange for the price?" the steward asked.
Gothe waved his hand forward.
Lan Wen, who was standing behind him, immediately took a step forward, took out a jade box, opened the lid, and displayed the contents in the box in front of the steward:
Five crystal-clear ice jade sycamore leaves, with a light blue halo flowing in the veins of each leaf, like exquisite jade.
"Ice Jade Sycamore Leaf" Gao De slowly introduced the effects of Ice Jade Sycamore Leaf to the steward.
When leaving the northern border, Sunaifa specially packed fifty ice jade sycamore leaves for Gothe to take with him, so that he could cash them in when money was urgently needed, and it turned out to be really useful.
After hearing what Gao De said, the steward was slightly shocked, and finally understood why Gao De was so confident.
There is no need to worry about the sale of treasures that permanently enhance spiritual power.
This thing has always had a price but no market.
"Wait a moment, I need to ask an appraiser to confirm." The steward gave the male waiter a look.
The other party immediately signaled and exited the door.
After a while, the male attendant came back with an appraiser.
The steward took out a piece of ice jade sycamore leaf and handed it to the appraiser.
The appraiser placed the ice jade sycamore leaf in the palm of his hand and concentrated on it. The magic power began to flow, and a faint fluctuation of magic power overflowed out.
After an operation that lasted for several minutes, the appraiser put the ice jade sycamore leaf back into the box, and then nodded to the steward: "It is indeed as the guest said, it has the effect of improving mental strength, and the quality is excellent."
"Then please estimate the price." Gao De said.
"Five ice jade sycamore leaves, worth 1,500 gorse coins, what do you think?"
When Gothe originally sold the ice jade sycamore leaves in Lagos City, the average price of an ice jade sycamore leaf was 340 gorse coins.
The price given by the Blue Flame Auction is obviously a lot lower in comparison, but there is nothing you can do about it, this is how the artifacts are.
Anyway, he only took out five pieces to make up for the price difference, so let’s just lose some money.
Gothe nodded immediately, "Okay, then fifteen hundred gorse coins."
The best thing to do is to complete the transaction as soon as possible and "run away".
Hurrying out of the Blue Flame Auction House, Gothe raised his head and glanced at the slightly dim sky, then touched the box containing the Kraken Salt Marsh Spiritual Liquid in his arms, and let out a long breath.
This trip to the Blue Flame Islands, so far, the harvest has far exceeded his expectations.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
Under normal circumstances, he should have returned home with a full load at this time.
But for him now, this trip to the Blue Flame Islands has actually just begun.
It’s one thing to have unforeseen complications, but high risks also come with high returns. If everything goes well, the final harvest will be extraordinary.
Thinking like this, Gaode took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, got rid of distracting thoughts, and his eyes became sharp.
"Let's go back." He said to Lan Wen beside him, and the two of them speeded up their pace in tacit agreement.
It wasn't until he was about to turn the corner that Gothe turned his head and glanced at the Blue Flame Auction House very casually.
In the pupils, the strange symbol representing Mandola's magic eye has lit up.
Before walking out of the auction house, he had just cast [All-purpose Secret Medicine+], made himself a bottle of [Super Memory] secret medicine and drank it.
The combination of [Super Memory] Secret Medicine + Mandora's Magic Eye's [Insight] is a short but powerful rapid "Scanning + Modeling"
Across the street from the Blue Flame Auction House, stands a tavern belonging to the Blood Sail Pirates Group. This is also one of the most conspicuous buildings in the upper city.
The signboard is a weathered ship plank, said to be taken from the Imperial battleship Iron Crown, which has unusual significance.
Scarlet blood was used as paint on the ship's board, and a bloody sail and a musket were painted on it. It was slightly faded by the erosion of the sea wind, but it added a bit of menace.
· Sitting on the window seat on the top floor of the tavern, a hunky-backed middle-aged man was silently paying attention to Gaode and Lan Wen, who were walking quickly out of the Blue Flame Auction House.
Until Gothe's figure disappeared at the end of the street, he suddenly picked up the wine glass, drank all the rum in it, then stood up, and left the tavern quickly.
Through several maze-like alleys and down the creaking trestle, Gothe and Lan Wen went straight to the lower city and arrived at the hotel where they had been staying temporarily for the past few days.
The two of them entered the hotel together.
A moment later, "Lan Wen" appeared at the door of the hotel again. He pulled his hood extremely low, covering most of his face, and hurriedly walked into the shadows of the lower city, as if he had something important to do.
He walked all the way to the Ice Anchor Pier area, lightly touched the ground with his feet, then floated into the air, and used "[Flying Technique]" to head towards the Ember Island.
Ember Island, the Fire Knife is parked quietly in the island's hidden bay.
"Lan Wen" slowly fell down on the deck. Before he could stand firm, a female voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the deck.
"The auction isn't over yet." The red-haired beauty leaning on the side of the boat slowly raised her eyes. Her long red hair was like flowing flames, hanging casually on her shoulders.
"I left after buying what I needed, and lost money. I didn't leave early, for fear of being stared at."
"Lan Wen" explained as he took off the hood on his head. The face hidden in the shadow of the hood rippled, and quickly changed, turning into an extremely young face.
It is Gaode.
After quickly exchanging clothes with Lan Wen in the hotel room, he used [Disguise] to disguise himself as Lan Wen and left the hotel.
【Your method is considered clever, but you can't deceive others, and you will definitely not be able to deceive Davy Jones】
Sarah said with certainty that the method of communication at this time has been changed to [messaging technique].
David's strength and reputation are there. For such a ruthless, cunning and cunning person, ordinary little tricks cannot fool him.
At the same time, what she said was something else: "I've told you, my affairs are important. Don't show your face easily at a moment like this. If you are exposed, it will be bad."
[I understand].
Gothe replied through [Messaging Technique] while verbally responding: "Don't worry, I act very cautiously. Even if there are people with bad intentions, I will definitely get rid of them. I will not leave Ember Island again until I complete your task."
In Sarah's plan, there are only two things he has to do. The first thing is to send Black Wing Gang relics at the Blue Flame Auction to attract the attention of Davy Jones.
The second thing is to return to Ember Island after the auction and go to the island to "act".
The rest has nothing to do with him.
In the final analysis, his role in Sarah's big plan is that of bait, the bait that lures Davy Jones into taking the bait.
But the premise is that if Sarah can really capture Davy Jones, if she fails, he will definitely die.
————This is the case under normal circumstances, but Gothe has the trump card of "Star Boundary Teleportation", and everything is different.
As soon as there was any sign that something was wrong, he would run away immediately.
"That's about it." Sarah said leisurely, her eyes twinkling slightly.
While the two were talking, not far away from the Fire Knife, a group of very common gray-feathered seabirds were passing by with their wings spread.
Several of the birds landed on the protruding rocks of the cliff. They tilted their heads and combed their feathers, and made tiny scraping sounds when their claws stepped on the wet rocks.
Under the surface of the water, only three feet away from the side of the ship, a group of small silver-scaled fish were swimming along the ocean current, stirring up tiny splashes of water as their tails swung.
This kind of picture is obviously too common and will not attract anyone's attention.
But among the fish, an inconspicuous little fish with silver scales, no more than the length of a thumb, was in an extremely strange state at the moment.
It did not follow the swimming trajectory of the school of fish. Instead, it stayed still in the water, its pectoral fins trembling slightly. The originally cloudy fish eyes suddenly became extremely clear, and the figures of Sarah and Gothe on the deck were vaguely reflected in the pupils.
The undercurrent of the water passes over the fish's body, but it remains motionless. Only its gill cover opens and closes at high frequencies, converting the vibrations of the surrounding water into perceptible "sounds".
Its tail fin occasionally swings very slightly, adjusting the viewing angle to ensure that every detail on the lower deck can be completely "recorded". That focused posture is completely unlike the instinctive behavior of ordinary fish.
The next moment, Gothe had used "[Flying Technique]" again, and after slightly nodding to Sarah, the figure soared into the sky like an arrow, flying towards the interior of Ember Island.
The fish turned its body in a very humane way, and its eyes were firmly locked on Gothe's rising figure.
After watching his figure land on the island, the fish froze, as if it had lost its soul, and its originally clear fish eyes instantly lost their brightness.
Then, all the human emotions in its eyes disappeared, returning to the chaos and confusion of ordinary fish.
It flicked its tail, as if it had just recovered from a brief trance, turned around unsteadily, accelerated towards the large group of fish, and soon merged into the silver wave of fish.
In the waters still some distance away from the Fire Knife, a hunting boat was cruising leisurely, as if it was scouting for prey.
In the cabin of the hunting boat, a man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The next second, his eyes suddenly opened, his face expressionless, and he didn't know what to think.
A moment passed.
The man waved his hand casually, the porthole was pushed open, and the humid sea breeze came in with the chirping of seabirds.
A group of gray-feathered seabirds were passing over the hunting boat in a herringbone pattern.
The man waved his hand again, and the originally smooth flight path of a gray-feathered seabird in the flock was suddenly disrupted. It was as if it was restrained by an invisible hand and was dragged down. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it was of no avail and could only make a horrified cry.
The surrounding seabirds were frightened and scattered.
Only it fell straight towards the porthole of the hunting boat, hovering half a foot in front of the man.
The man stretched out his hand, which was also wearing a conspicuous brass finger cot. He gently touched the seabird, and a powerful wave of magic flowed along his fingers to the gray-feathered seabird.
The seabird's body trembled violently for a few times, and then stopped struggling. The two originally ignorant bird's eyes became clear, and the scene in the cabin was reflected in the pupils, just like the small silver-scaled fish that appeared near the Fire Knife earlier.
It flapped its wings, no longer panicking, and quickly flew out of the window. After hovering in the air for a week, it accurately locked the direction of Ash Island and swooped away.
It is the second-ring prophecy spell that Gothe has also mastered, [Beast Perception].
During the duration of the spell, the caster can switch his vision and hearing to the senses of the subject beast, and then perceive the surroundings through the beast's senses, while also gaining the special senses of the creature itself.
Ember Island.
After Gao De landed on the island, he immediately came to his previous exploration location by a familiar route.
Him He planned to follow the explored area, while [Adaptive] improving the immunity to blue flames, while slowly moving towards the core area covered by the blue flames of Ember Island.
As for the specific game between Sarah and Davy Jones, he didn't care about it.
In fact, I can’t control it.
Gaode is extremely self-aware.
In the game between two fifth-level mages, how can he, a second-level mage, join in the excitement?
While thinking this, Gothe took steps without changing his expression, stepping into the blazing blue flames that others regarded as a beast.
The blue flames instantly enveloped his body like a tide, and his robes swayed gently in the flames, but there was no sign of burning.
These seemingly violent flames seem to be just the embodiment of some kind of energy field, penetrating into the fibers of clothing with a cold and burning sensation.
The terror of the blue flame cannot be seen by just looking at it. It can only be understood by experiencing it personally.
A heavy ice-hardened hammer condensed from pure spiritual energy has already hit his soul hard.
Severe pain swept through consciousness like a tsunami.
