Lu Xi himself definitely didn't want to be wronged, and he bought the tomahawk just now because he had kryptonite eyes, and he could see the value that others couldn't find. As for this oil painting and those two pieces of jewelry, there is no special mystery in itself, it is just a simple work of art, although he likes it, but he has not liked it so much that he has to spend much more than the market price to get it.

He hesitated, but finally gave up, so he got the smug gaze of the boy again, and it was three times in a row. This feeling made Lu Xi suddenly quite incomprehensible, and began to wonder if he was looking for an excuse to give the other party a little hardship.

However, as the auction continued, and as the atmosphere in the venue became more and more enthusiastic, he quickly turned his attention to the one item that was later put on the stage.

It was a short, inconspicuous-looking cane, dark brown in appearance, with a silver spherical head wrapped around the tip, only about seventy or eighty centimeters in size. If used as a walking stick, this length would be too short.

"Well, it's supposed to be a staff, right?" Swift Wind contracted his pupils slightly, let go of his spiritual power, and soon felt the power on the "cane": "And the quality is very high, my spiritual power can easily penetrate it, and the gathering runes on it are very cleverly designed." ”

Yes, can the quality of a silver-level staff not be high? What's more, this thing is still ......

"Don't look at this kid as inconspicuous, it's actually the Great Magister 'Hand of Light' Lehman? The work of the master Balthes is almost fifty years old. The auctioneer, wearing white gloves, carefully picked up the cane: "We all know that Master Lehman is the most famous alchemist and design master of our time, and he has left us many whimsical designs. ”

It's a pity that the character and emotional intelligence are not very good. In order to deal with political opponents, he played a trick of summoning demons at home, and as a result, he happily got away with it. He was almost squeezed into a human by two succubi, and became the plaything of the higher demons. In the end, even the demon army that people summoned him was destroyed on the spot by Mr. Orucello and his old man. Lu Xi thought.

Of course, after that guy hung up, most of the inheritance, including many magic props he designed and made with his own hands, were divided by the bureaucrats who robbed the house and "confiscated". A lot of stuff ended up on the black market. I guess this staff is one of them.

"Everyone can see that this is actually a very intricately designed staff, a magic weapon that any spellcaster can only dream of. In addition, it is of moderate length and lightweight, so even small children can wield it. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to follow the path of a spellcaster, this is the best gift you can be! ”

His words caused a burst of laughter from the audience. But actually. It's not exactly a joke. You must know that after all, this is also a world where extraordinary strength can break the army alone, and the strong men who can call the wind and rain to cut the clouds and the sky are naturally far from being comparable to ordinary people. The chaebols of Neosfia already possess the wealth of their country, and in addition to hoping to be rich for thousands of years, they naturally want to seek more things, so they will spend great efforts to cultivate their own offspring.

No matter how powerful the extraordinary strength is, they also need to eat and sleep, when the chaebol leaders come to visit with expensive gifts and donations. It only takes you one more disciple...... In this case, most powerful people are actually difficult to refuse. As a matter of fact. Not only the dojo opened by the Sword Masters and Swordsmen, but even the Nadia Central Academy of Magic accepts many children of wealthy merchants from Neosfia into the school every year - of course, provided that you pay a fairly generous "sponsorship" and more than three times the annual tuition fee of ordinary local students.

Although we all know that both the sword and the field of magic. Whether you can become a strong person depends not only on your own efforts, but also on talent and luck. However, the children born of the high-ranking lords have more educational resources than ordinary civilian children. Naturally, there is more possibility of giving birth to a strong person.

A capitalist with the strength of a sword master and a great mage, the industry under his command must be solid for a long time, and if he has more level of training disciples, his business empire will also be ten thousand years...... Such a beautiful scene, just thinking about it makes you drunk.

By the way, shouldn't that be my setting? Lu Xi thought.

The local tyrants in the hall are indeed starting to get excited. The size, length and weight of this staff are very suitable for children and girls who don't have too strong brute force, and if it is given to a child who is willing to learn magic, even if it is equipped with the best novice equipment (even if it is used to the full level, it is not outdated), in addition, this is also the work of celebrities, and it is also very valuable to use it as a collection.

They were about to urge the auctioneer to make an offer, but the other party suddenly grabbed the upper end of the cane and pulled it hard.

But only a clear and loud sound of controversy was heard suddenly, and it disappeared in a flash, and the air in the entire hall seemed to tremble, like a dragon's groan.

The Holy Dragon Lori frowned slightly, and the vertical pupils of the true dragon flashed in her eyes.

"Dragon's teeth?" Lu Xi asked.

"Yes, and it's a very rare golden dragon tooth, which is incomparably sharp, and has its own flame and evil destroying attributes." Chrysel sneered, "I don't know if that fool in the clan didn't put away the teeth he replaced." ”

"Everyone has seen that there is also a short sword with iron as clay hidden in this staff. Our experts have already checked, the blade is made of a certain amount of Oz steel and Mithril, but the inner core is a fragment of a golden dragon's tooth, light as a wing, yet indestructible. What an amazing design with a sword hidden in the staff! ”

Yes, it was like this fifty years ago, and it can be regarded as the groundbreaking design of the Great Magus who was bombarded to the slag by the old man. It's a pity that by now, a large number of Arcane nobles have liked this way of pretending. The mass-produced sword in the staff can be bought at any of Nadia's larger mage weapon shops, 50 meters a sword, and a dagger is specially bought and given as a gift. Well, I remember that Senior Sister Andreel has one, although it is idiosyncratic.

"Of course, in order to keep up with the magicians in the sky and let your children adapt to the world of spellcasters as soon as possible, we have also specially prepared a small gift. Guests who photograph the sword in the staff will receive a gift from the Bank, an antique dagger. The powdered auctioneer frowned.

All right. Even this aspect has been learned......

The auctioneer's self-righteous humor really made the audience burst into laughter. This is actually quite normal, the wealthy merchants of Neosfia have money but no status, capital but no family, gold but no brute force, and they think that they should be the top of the social class pyramid structure. However, in the eyes of the traditional aristocracy, who wield extraordinary powers. They are still just a bunch of profiteers with fat brains, and they are not necessarily nobler than the people who farm and pay rent under their command. And the key problem is that no matter how rich the big chaebol leader is, when he faces the children of the nobles with a long history, he has a little inferiority complex in his heart.

So, telling jokes about the Oakland knights and the wizards of Nadia behind closed doors has become a very popular activity for the local tyrants of Neosfia.

Only with low self-esteem will you be proud. Only by attaching importance to or even fearing them will we always make fun of them.

The auctioneer beckoned. Someone came up to the stage with a dagger wrapped in white silk cloth and placed it on the shelf with a seemingly unguarded motion.

"It's a withered dagger......"

Before the auctioneer's words fell, the laughter in the audience became louder. The high rollers in the first three rows even said angrily: "Don't make trouble, you old mole." Are you here for the first time? You can fool you if you want? ”

"Be sincere, Toby. Sustead has been in Neosfia for almost thirty years, and you should have a judgment on which ones are friends who can be friends for a long time, and which are poor creatures who can be deceived at will, right? ”

"Withered dagger. If you can get the real thing, I'll eat this table raw! ”

This auctioneer is also a pillar of the Susted. Everywhere he goes, he is a celebrity who is in the limelight, but he never dares to make a mistake in front of this gang, so he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Of course it can't be genuine, otherwise we wouldn't have started to promote it a few months in advance?" It's not even possible to give it as a giveaway. Although the contempt is worth a little, it is impossible to be extravagant to this extent, let alone insult such a hand-me-down artifact! But ......"

He picked up the dagger. Pulling open the white silk cloth on it, he said seriously: "However, the shape and style of this instrument are indeed exactly the same as those recorded in the literature, and it also has a certain armor-piercing and poisonous effect, and it is extremely sharp. I guarantee it with the professionalism of an auctioneer. As an imitation, this is also the finest imitation I've ever seen; As a blade, this is also a high-quality product with excellent workmanship and exquisite materials, and it is best for children to defend themselves. ”

"Don't be funny! Toby, didn't you just auction this thing the year before last as if it were genuine? As a result, it was dismantled and slapped in the face on the spot, and the reputation of this thing was rotten. You obviously think that this thing will become moldy if it can't be sold in the warehouse, so you take it out as an add-on, right? Someone sneered: "Whoever wants to spend money to buy this thing back will become the laughing stock of the whole Neosfia!" ”

"That's why I bought one get one free." The auctioneer, Toby, grinned so hard that those who questioned him were speechless.

"So, by Lehman? A dragon's tooth sword staff crafted by Balthes himself, plus a withered dagger...... Uh, the starting price of the imitation is 500,000 bakers, and the price increase cannot be less than 10,000 each time, so please bid ......"

"550,000 Bakers!" Lu Xi was the first person present to raise the racket.

"Do you want to buy that sword staff back for little Kalman?" Tempest asked, "This is indeed a great weapon for beginners...... However, if we collect our own materials and come back to refine them, we may be able to make better works. The material cost only needs to cost 10,000 yuan at most. ”

Lehman? Balts was indeed the best master of alchemy and magic weapon making in the last century, but after all, he was already an ancient, and Blaster never thought that his skills would be inferior to the other party. This is also where her confidence and pride as a demonic genius lies.

"When did you see me doing a loss-making business?" Lu Xi said with a smile.

"600,000 Bakers, Mr. 18 bid 600,000 Bakers. Well, this scene is really familiar tonight! Well, number 48, this esteemed woman, you have managed to gain our respect, although you are a new friend of the Bank. So, what are you going to do? ”

Call "Ma'am" again? I'm really going to send someone to beat you up and blow up your chrysanthemum! Lu Xi faced the curious eyes around him, and showed a bright smile freely, and while raising the paddle, he also made an understatement gesture of thumbs up.

The surrounding local tyrants were stunned, and the auctioneer on the stage was also stunned, he spent three seconds determining the meaning of Lu Xi's gesture, and then the expression on his face switched to an ecstatic smile in a rhythm visible to the naked eye: "No. 48, bid 1.2 million bakers." ”

At auctions, thumbs up means doubled. Lu Xi has always felt that this action is too arrogant, and the heroic and domineering can be seen at a glance, he has wanted to try it a long time ago.

Obviously, his "crazy" behavior not only frightened the friends around him, but even the son of the Dalrest family, who had been competing with him, hesitated for a few minutes, until the auctioneer said "1.2 million twice", he slowly raised a finger and increased the price to 1.3 million.

Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and raised his card again.

"One and a half million! One and a half million! It can be seen that our new friends are determined to get this lot! He inflamed the atmosphere in the arena so loudly that it was difficult to hide his excitement. However, it is a pity that although the local tyrants present are very rich, they are not wronged. This group of savvy businessmen will certainly spend a lot of money, but it must also be worth the money. 1.5 million bakers is enough for them to buy enough rare materials on the black market, and hire several alchemists and magic weapon makers to make two or three magic weapons and blades of the same quality.

The son-in-law of the Dalrest family thought for a while, and seemed to feel that such a competition was not worth it, so he spread his hands and responded to Lu Xi with a smile that seemed to be chic and indifferent.

"Congratulations, then, ma'am, one and a half million, this sword staff, and the withered dagger with an additional head. It's yours. ”

Lu Xi bowed slightly and accepted the auctioneer's congratulations.

"You don't think that dagger is going to be genuine, and you want to check it out, do you? This kind of gambling psychology is not good, and sooner or later it will make you suffer a big loss. Holy Dragon Lori said. Listening to her tone, she also seemed to feel that Lu Xi should have lost money this time.

"If it was really genuine, such an eyeless Su Shide should have closed his doors a long time ago." Lu Xi replied, "Of course, you are half right. I am indeed a big ugly ...... Hey, good luck. I really feel more and more like I'm the main character now. ”

He looked at the curious eyes of the wind and the Arul father and daughter, and shook his head mysteriously: "The rule of this industry is that if you leak it, you can't say it in person, you have to save some face for other auction houses." Let's talk slowly after that. Well, by the way, you really can't play more about auctions! You see, just like that, we've just removed half of our income. The other half of the rest can't be moved, since you're going to go to the Seven Seas Dragon Palace to smash the field, at least you have to prepare a little bit of gambling. ”

"I don't think it's very likely that boys will spend lavishly when they have money." Swift Wind shook his head, not thinking that Lu Xi would be a thrifty housekeeper at all.

"This is clearly prejudice, and the biggest spenders are obviously girls. Don't you know that half of the world's top 500 companies specialize in selling women's products? Lu Xi was just about to refute this, but with the next lot that was pushed onto the stage, this sentence was swallowed directly in his stomach.

He had to admit that it was really not easy to keep the money he had left. (To be continued.) )
