Chapter 918: It's a pleasure to make money from local tyrants
Gray? Although Mr. Airul showed such a high profile, of course, Lu Xi couldn't really let the family bleed and take a priceless lot for himself. To put it bluntly, both the business and social fields are like this, people give you face because people will be a person, and you know a little bit is also your own cultivation. Of course, it's not good to refuse completely, and if you behave too highly, won't it make the other person look hypocritical?
The best way to do is to choose a random item with reasonable price and moderate quality, which can not only allow the other party to sell it for itself without spending much money, but also make yourself affordable, and finally shorten the distance between the two sides a little bit. It's a joy for all.
So, after the previous two swords and a classical armor were taken away, after seeing the fourth object that was pushed onto the stage, Lu Xi nodded and prepared to raise the card.
In fact, a pair of double-edged battle axes looked very bulky, which could be seen from the panting expressions of the two ladies who pushed things on the stage. The grip of this tomahawk should be between one hand and two hands, and the double blades at the front end form a very complete arc. However, since they must have been a little old, this one is covered with black irregular rust, which looks very dirty, and the condition is naturally not good.
"Our experts have identified this as a battlefield blade from the early Age of Change, made by the Royal Workshop of the Dragons of Auckland, for use by ace gladiators. As you all know, such a heavy double-edged battle axe, even a highly trained warrior must be able to raise it with both hands and barely wield it. However, at that time, the gold medal gladiators of the Celexia Colosseum had the same as the Minotaur and even the giants, and they could wield them with both wields and fight invincible. Like a storm of steel. What a time when the blood of the golden iron horse was boiling! On this side, the master of ceremonies began to introduce the origin of the lot with emotion.
"There's no obvious inscription on it, so we can't be sure which gladiator champion this pair of double-edged battle axes belongs to. What is certain, however, is that they are made of hard-to-corrode steel mixed with a certain amount of ebonstone and star iron. Star Iron is already familiar to everyone, it is a priceless sacred metal...... As for ebonystone, hehe. Okay, I've seen some of the guests surprised. Yes, it is a rare substance from the abyssal plane, baked in the flames of hell, and it is also the material used by the evil demon army to craft weapons! ”
If it is really a foolish woman or a fundamentalist teaser, you will either be frightened and panicked, or you will jump up and scold the other party for taking out the devil's things and selling them, which is blasphemous. And in fact, both businessmen and warriors. In fact, they are all a very pragmatic group. The former thinks it's cool to collect demonic things, while the latter thinks that weapons are weapons, no matter where they come from, as long as they can be used.
The auctioneer saw that the audience below was becoming more and more surprised and curious, and he was immediately satisfied with his ability to stir up. He twitched the muscles on his face, squeezed out a warm smile on his powdered face, and said loudly, "But." We all know that there is no good or evil in things. And only those who use it have. Blades made of ebonstone, if in the hands of righteous heroes, can also be used to dispel evil demons...... Of course, whether it's an investment or a simple collectible, it's also very valuable. We all know that His Majesty the Sun King closed the Colosseum. All of Auckland has been free of gladiatorial activity for half a century. The blades left by those gladiator champions, representing their honor and history, will only increase in price in the future! ”
"All right, ladies and gentlemen, please raise your number plate and make your bid! This tomahawk is at least three thousand years old. The starting price is 50,000 bakers, and each increase must not be less than 1,000! ”
Is it a way to interpret "honor" and "history" in terms of price? It's really like Neosfia-style. Lu Xi shook his head and picked up his number plate.
"Do you have a crush on this pair of tomahawks?" Miss Sias, who was sitting on the left side, said in a low voice: "Look at the model, this is indeed the double-edged battle axe originally prepared for the gold medal gladiator, but after all, it is a mass-produced type, and there is no inscription, which means that it has not been used by the gladiator champion, and the collection value is naturally greatly reduced." In addition, its condition is also very problematic, and even if it is to be repaired, it will cost a lot of money. At most, it's worth about sixty or seventy thousand, and any more will be a loss. ”
This girl is very reliable, well-organized, and well-founded. It can be seen that she has really learned a little bit of real skills from Professor Yavaru.
"A little more experience, Miss Theas, you're more than qualified to run a large museum." Lu Xi praised sincerely, and then changed his words: "But...... If anything involves the occult, it cannot be judged by common sense. There's something else going on here. ”
However, the knowledge of the occult is not like other knowledge, which can be accumulated by hard work, it requires not only learning, but also talent. For the general public, it is indeed an almost insurmountable veil.
Airul's father and daughter looked at each other, thinking to themselves that even if there was a real mystery, you could see it from such a distance, it would be too rebellious, right? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a dead duck with a hard mouth. They still wanted to persuade them, but Lu Xi had already raised the sign.
"Fifty-five thousand bakers? The guests of No. 48 have already bid 55,000 bakers! …… Seventy-five thousand! Someone bid up to 80,000! Ah, it's guest number 18, and he's bidding 75,000! ”
Lu Xi frowned slightly, and said in his heart that labor and management obviously saw that most people were not interested in this thing, and they were going to pick up a leak with an extra 5,000, but if you increase the price so much, it is clear that you want to compete with the protagonist! He looked in the direction of the eighty thousand, and the son-in-law next to the "son-in-law" who thought he was a very domineering president, Fan Er, was very evil, awe-inspiring, and handsome and chic, seemed to sense his gaze, turned around, and showed a provocative evil smile at himself.
"Tsk, every time I meet this kind of self-feeling boy, I always feel that I should find a chance for them to experience the reality of the world......" Lu Xi sighed and raised his card again.
"One hundred thousand! Number 48, well, yes, number 48 is a new friend. A beautiful and respectful lady who has never seen before, she has already bid up to 100,000 bakers! ”
The audience finally had a little wave, and the local tyrants present were a little commotion, even the local tyrants in the first three rows of local tyrants also turned their heads back, curious to see which one was so arrogant.
Ma'am, your sister! Don't you see that the labor and management are wearing men's dresses? If the law didn't care, I would have thrown this number plate in your face a long time ago. Maybe you can smash three or four kilograms of powder down on the spot.
"Just because you're wearing a men's dress, we've been blocked at the door for a few more minutes!" Swift Wind smiled: "The robe and armor are relatively neutral attire, and they are not necessarily too inconsistent, but Lu Xi has to wear this kind of slim and straight men's dress, so he always feels a little deliberate." It's understandable that people think it's suspicious. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll cut my hair when I get back and start growing a beard!"
Jumping directly from 75,000 to 100,000, this kind of more gambling gameplay is indeed easy to cause a commotion. Even the boy couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his smile immediately became even brighter. What else he wants to do. The sour son-in-law of the Dalrest family hurriedly grabbed him and whispered a few words.
"100,000 for the first time,...... Well, the lady of No. 48 is knowledgeable, and at this time, a blade full of inheritance and history and honor, even if it is placed in the town house at home, it can be inviolable! So, is anyone willing to bid anymore? 100,000 second ......" The auctioneer's eyes stayed on the No. 18 boy's body for a long time, but in the end, he only got a sneer from the other party. He sighed covertly and said a little smugly: "It seems." There should be no one to fight for anymore. Well, the deal! Dear lady No. 48, this pair represents glory and toughness, full of historical vicissitudes of life, double-edged tomahawks, it is yours! ”
It is not a good thing that weapons are full of historical vicissitudes, which means that it must be withdrawn from the stage of history. But. Judging by the rusty condition of the axes, no one thought they could go to war, and no one thought they were beautiful. As a result, many people present gave the "No. 48 lady" who met for the first time a "wronged head" on the spot.
In short, this time the deal is closed. After that, Lu Xi only needs to end the auction. Go to the background to pay the money and receive the goods. Of course, if you have a place to stay in Neosfia, the auction house will also provide a free home delivery service.
"Isn't it expensive?" Hurricane asked.
"Sort of picked up a leak. I've seen the axe, there is a hidden magic rune mechanism on it that is not activated, as long as you open it and infuse a certain amount of magic power, it will soon be able to regain its former glory. Enchanted weapons of this quality, even if they were produced by the Royal Imperial Weapon Workshop of the Yanlong Dynasty, were rare and superlative, and the surviving ones should be less than ten. Lori Long, who was sitting in the back, glanced at Lu Xi deeply: "Hey! Little one, what a good eyesight. ”
100,000 Bakers, which is equivalent to about 2,000 gold and Austrian baht, but bought a pair of two silver-quality enchanted blades, which is of course earned.
"I could have made a little more." Lu Xi sighed and looked at the hippie smiling boy over there: "I thought he would be in a tug of war with me for a while, but I didn't expect to withdraw in just one round?" ”
"Is that the eldest grandson of old Sir Victor, Huron? Dalest. Although he is young, he is said to be a very cunning and sophisticated person. He should have deliberately inflated the price to make you have more blood. Of course, such cleverness is just a little cleverness, and he would never have imagined that your vision and wisdom have far exceeded the limits of his imagination. "Gray? Airul laughed. He sat on the side, and naturally heard Lori Long's words.
Although I don't know where this soft cute Lori is, but looking at the old-fashioned appearance and deep and introverted aura, you know that it is not an extraordinary person. Gray? Airul is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a real kung fu strength, well-informed, of course he understands the reality of this world - many little Lori Xiao Zhengtai, who seems to be so tender that they can pinch out the water, is likely to be some kind of extraordinary epic existence, maybe he is taking advantage of his grandmother at his age. Although his eyesight can't see the heels of this Lori, as long as he looks at the attitude of her talking to Lu Xi, he can guess a few points.
Of course, since this "Lori" didn't introduce herself, it means that people are not ready to have any dealings with him at all, and Mr. Airul naturally doesn't have to be bored.
"Thank you for the gift, then." Lucy vs. Gray? Airul said: "It's a good start to our cooperation." ”
100,000 bakers. It is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and it is not even a drop in the bucket for the net worth of "Sky Swallowing Whale" Gray, which is just a suitable price to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.
"You're so kind." Mr. Gray obviously understood what Lu Xi meant, and his smile suddenly became a little more cordial, he liked to work with really smart people, worry-free and clear. Not to mention the time-consuming, energy-consuming, and unproductive intrigues...... Attention, it's the "really" smart people!
Obviously, Lu Xi? Belencaster should be this kind of really smart person, which makes the head of the narwhal Chamber of Commerce quite happy.
"After that, if there is anything you like, I won't be polite to you. Guru. He said.
"Feel free to do so, only auctions like this are fun." Lu Xi shrugged.
The auction continues. This batch of blades and armor that could be used as collectibles was also auctioned off. Of course, perhaps because Lu Xi's sentence of "100,000 yuan" heated up the atmosphere on the field, several lots were sold for far more than their value - but. In the field of collection, it is a subjective attitude to pick up leaks or not. As long as the collector thinks it's worth the price, it's worth it.
Until all the lots were sold, Lu Xi didn't wait for the dragon scale shield that Miss Coresel said, but considering the value of this thing, it should be the final finale - after all, this semi-annual auction will last for three days, maybe it will appear on the last day.
After that, there was a batch of antique artworks, including a complete set of palace lamps that Lu Xi took from the Samanashire underground palace at the foot of Mount Namoa. There are thirty-six pieces, all of which are in the shape of animal heads. Representing the Age of Mythology, the thirty-six Heavenly Beast God Generals who guarded the surroundings of the Firmament Heavenly Palace. They are all made of white gold and precious stones of various colors, and they are in very good condition, and they are in a complete set, which naturally caused the first sensation of today.
Some of the guests who entered as scholars and connoisseurs even came up to the stage to confirm that these were indeed court artifacts from the time of the Sammanchar Empire, which had been extinct for nearly 10,000 years. And so. Everyone was excited.
Lu Xi and Hurricane looked at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes. Looking at this scene, this set of small things will definitely soar to sky-high prices, and they are just a relatively ordinary set of items among the few things that Lu Xi handed over to the auction house for consignment. Sure enough, if you want to make money from local tyrants, you really have to come to Neosfia!
Everyone's bidding began. Lu Xi listened to the number that doubled up little by little. Do you think it would be too much to find a nursery to fry at this time?
In the end, these thirty-six sets of Divine Beast Platinum Palace Lamps were auctioned off by a city-state prince from the Sosnes continent at a high price of 2.35 million bakers. The one who competed with him to the end turned out to be Gray? Mr. Airul, the uncle who was not short of money and also loved his daughter, saw that his daughter, who studied archaeology, was very fond of this set of objects, and considering his plans to set up a private museum, he fell in love with the bearded prince. When the other party came out with 2.35 million, he originally wanted to increase the price, but was dissuaded by Xias.
This girl who has been in the Faceless Association is really sensible, her hobbies are her hobbies, and her likes are her likes, but she is not pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't want her father to bleed for her hobbies.
Lu Xi felt very satisfied. Gray? Although Mr. Airul is not his own trust, objectively he really has the effect of trust. What is a god teammate, this is it. He is now looking forward to the future cooperation between the two parties.
Subsequently, a set of rare ancient books taken out by the wind was also auctioned for a high price of 1.5 million, which is said to have been stolen from the hands of the necromancer Ring Head Gitiller who was killed by her. Of course, she herself is quite calm. As a veteran adventurer, she has long been a regular customer of Sushide Auction House, providing her with a large number of lots, the highest of which even reached a sky-high price of 8 million bakers. Of course, this is the first time I sat in the audience as a guest.
What, where did you say the money you earned? Well, this, we all get it.
There will be a large amount of money in the account soon, Lu Xi felt that he should be able to make a cameo appearance as a local tyrant once in a while, buy something to play, and then take a fancy to a painting, a string of purple eye necklaces and a pair of bracelets inlaid with seven-colored gemstones, so he was ready to take a photo. But every time I want to shoot something, it will attract competition from the son of the Dalrest family, and every time the price is raised, the other party will throw a creepy look at him.
If it was just a simple provocation, Lu Xi felt that he would definitely not be so unhappy. Today, he can indifferently turn a blind eye to this hatred of "ant mortals".
He asked Hurricane tentatively, but the other man just shook his head and smiled subtly. Lolita Long patted Lu Xi's shoulder directly, showing sympathy, plus an expression of waiting to see a good show. (To be continued.) )
