Chapter 168: The Elves at the Auction (Fourth Update)
After a few boring auction items, new ones were brought up by several sturdy guards.
It's a huge, hideous fish-man head.
The auctioneer explained, "This is the trophy found by a fish-group colony from the Abyssal Sea while cleaning up the battlefield after more than 100,000 deep-sea fish-men were wiped out. We are curious that a savage race like the Deep Sea Fish-People can carve such a stone statue, which is very collectible! ”
When he saw this stone statue, Link subconsciously thought of the werewolf statue, but the gap between the two seemed to be a bit big, and the volume was a big problem.
And the werewolf statue is from the Evil Mage Tower, isn't this fish-man statue also of any use?
Sure of what to expect, Link scratched his scalp and decided to compete.
Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, at most it will look good in the bedroom at that time.
The price of the Fish-Man statue began to rise slowly, and it was clear that many people were curious about it.
When a few gold coins and a few gold coins grew to more than 40, some people couldn't bear it and gave up the competition.
Link began to join in, bidding with a few others.
The growth of a dozen gold coins made one of the competitors feel a little annoying.
“100!”
As if he liked the statue very much, a man with an elegant temperament held up the sign, and for a moment, the other competitors present shook their heads.
A statue made by a fish-man is indeed interesting, but 100 gold coins is more than it is worth, and it is not worth adding any more money.
Link waited for a few seconds. When the auctioneer was ready to raise the hammer to count the seconds, he held up the sign: "120 gold coins!" ”
Boom. Everyone looked at Link, and some people who didn't know him seemed to be probing. Then it became known from some people that this was the rich man who had recently come to Emerald Bay, and as soon as he entered, he stayed in one of the most luxurious suites in the Emerald Hotel, and spent hundreds of gold coins in a few days.
A few hundred gold coins is not a lot for many people here, but if you just spend it casually, you still have to suffer a ruined sentence.
Link didn't care about that, though, no one in the Elemental Tower dared to scold him, so he sat there leisurely, waiting for the auctioneer's move.
The man who had previously wanted to buy the Fishman statue hesitated. Shaking his head in frustration, he thought that even if he raised the price by a few dozen gold coins, it would be useless, and he must not be able to compete with the guy who didn't make money.
So he simply abstained.
The auctioneer confirms the auction of the fish-man statue, and a waiter comes over to ask Link if he needs to deposit it at the auction house, and when the auction is over, they will send someone to deliver the statue to his residence.
"Thank you very much!"
Link won't touch the Fishman statue in a place with so many people, and it will be a hassle if something goes wrong.
Since the Secret Word Auction House is so considerate, it will be left to them to be responsible.
The waiter stepped back. There was no disturbance to the continuation of the auction.
However, Link in the back didn't see anything suitable for a long time, and the twins were already yawning boredly, looking at other people everywhere.
After a little more waiting, Link was ready to leave. There doesn't seem to be anything good at this auction.
Just now, there were two businessmen talking not far from him.
In the last auction, most of the good things were sold, leaving only some things that didn't go as planned.
Auctions of this level like now. Occasionally, I will come across some good things that have been dropped by top auction houses, and when such an opportunity arises. The code auction house will take out the good things that are not up to the top level collected on weekdays, and arrange them more luxuriously.
At such an auction. It's much more lively than Link's now. The transaction amount is about more than one million gold coins, and even 2 million has appeared.
However, the next few auctions were a bit sluggish, and it was necessary to recollect good goods and wait for the next peak.
The last auction happened to be such a peak, so this auction, many richer people and nobles had no intention of coming, giving other newcomers a chance.
This is how Link estimated that he received the invitation.
According to estimates, this auction can have a transaction volume of 200,000 gold coins, which is already a very hot result, and looking carefully at the auction items on the field, Link has to admit that what the other party said is indeed true.
So Link was ready to leave.
However, when he stood up, a waiter came over: "Sir, please wait for a moment, there will be items from the top auction that have not been auctioned." ”
"Oh?"
Link stopped: "Really? ”
"Yes, sir, soon to come."
Link sat down again and looked at the last column of the auction items, only it was still blacked out, and it seemed that this thing was from a top auction.
I don't know what it is that can be put on the top auction.
In the eyes of the great nobles and merchants, many good things would be disregarded, so they were cancelled by the auction and sold at a low price in a slightly lower auction.
Hopefully this one will satisfy you.
After waiting for a while, several waiters from the auction house teamed up to push a cage covered with a black cloth onto the auction table, and Link sat up straight.
As the black cloth was pulled away, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim.
Link was no exception, what did he see?
She had pointed ears, a cold face with a hateful gaze, her hands and feet were bound by heavy chains, and her slightly brown skin looked extremely smooth.
It's an elf!
Is this the unsold lot that has fallen from the top auctions?
Link frowned, he saw everyone present breathing heavily, it was clear what kind of place this elf held in their hearts.
To be honest, he had basically never seen any other elves in this world, and now one suddenly appeared as if it was going to be auctioned.
Are there very few elves in this world? Or is there something else going on with the elves?
A lot of questions came to Link's mind when the elf suddenly appeared.
"Well, buy her, and we should know more about the world from her."
Link turned to Alice and smiled, "And I'm sure Avina will be happy, after all, this is an elf." ”
Alice laughed: "My master, I don't think so, and looking at the situation on the market, I doubt why she was sold at a top auction, she must have a problem." ”
"I believe so."
Link nodded slightly, he saw the auctioneer walk up to the stage, maybe the reason was through him. (To be continued.) )
