The entire auction room fell silent for ten seconds.

However, Jairo was an ace auctioneer, and he quickly reacted and began to announce whether there were any bidders.

At this moment, many people in the auction hall are still in a state of shock.

Although these people don't know what the specific price of the ink crystal fluorite is, in their opinion, the price of a silver-level demonization equipment is only about 400,000, but a piece of material is sold for 850,000, isn't this a loss?

Almost all aristocrats, have such thoughts.

Including Asuna and Koth.

The two of them looked at Sean with shocked expressions on their faces.

Because the offer of 850,000 just now was shouted by Sean.

"You...... You are crazy? Even Asuna couldn't help but get excited.

Of course, the reason for her excitement was not that Sean had spent so much money on a completely worthless thing, but ......

"Do you have that much money?"

Faced with Asuna's frank and direct question, Sean shrugged: "No." ”

"Then you still pay 850,000?" Koth's brow furrowed, "This price is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if it is a marquis with a field, it will take at least four or five years to be able to save it. Of course, this time refers to the formal channel, and if there is other gray income, it may be faster. ”

The general way of aristocrats to save money is nothing more than to squeeze the lords, or to operate the specialties in their own territory, or to form a mercenary army to make extra money, and so on. And this way of earning money usually doesn't go anywhere fast, so there will be other gray income methods. For example, some of the more frustrated lords will even raise a group of robbers to raid the caravans in their own territory.

And Sean is just a duke who has just gotten his territory. Before that, he was a pioneer knight with only the name of a baron. So it is conceivable that he can't have a family of 850,000 at all, and even if he does, his current territory is almost completely battered in the war, and this money is not spent on the reconstruction of the territory, but is used to buy such a material, which no one can understand.

But what is incomprehensible is what cannot be understood. After all, the few of them are still a unit.

"I can lend you about 200,000." Koth thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I can only lend you 100,000." Asuna followed suit, "If you borrow some more money from the others." 850,000 can still be made up. ”

Asuna's current situation also requires money in many ways, and it is not easy to save the 100,000 gold coins to borrow Sean.

However, perhaps because they saw that Sean and the others needed to borrow money to bid for the auction, the attitudes of the several maids in the original room towards Koth and the others immediately changed subtly. It's just that these people are all trained by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance after all. Therefore, this subtle change in attitude is naturally very hidden. If it weren't for Sean's sensitivity to changes in breath, he wouldn't have noticed the change in the attitude of these maids.

"No need." Sean was naturally very moved by the attitude of Koth and Asuna, "The Chamber of Commerce Alliance will not take this money seriously, and if I take a picture, do you think they really dare to accept money?" ”

"That's not for sure." Asuna shook her head, "I've heard that Lodesque is a very cunning old fox, if he pretends to know nothing. You still have to pay this money. ”

Sean smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as long as the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is willing to barter." …… But. I wish the old fox had better pretend he didn't know anything, so that I would be more able to ask for something. If he's really too polite, then I'm embarrassed. ”

For Sean's words, Koth and Asuna naturally heard it clearly, so they didn't make any comments. It's just that if Sean needs to borrow money, they can only prepare to lend it to him, and no matter how much it is, it will be a very big burden for them who are now in the post-war repair and reconstruction, and only these royal nobles who have almost no losses in the auction hall can still spend their money here.

However, just as Sean and the others were so good at speaking, at the moment when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer and sell, the alchemy blacksmith of Ryan once again quoted a new price.

Nine hundred thousand.

This is probably the bottom line of his complete bankruptcy.

Asuna and Koth looked at Sean, because what Sean did next would directly depend on whether their relationship with the alchemist would be friendly or hostile to the alchemist in the days to come.

However, the price that could have been won by 830,000 yuan was raised to 900,000 by Sean, I am afraid that this is also destined to make it impossible for the two sides to get along amicably in the future. If anyone must be happy, I'm afraid it's Arnome, the alchemy blacksmith, because at this moment, Sean can be very sure that the piece of ink crystal fluorite was definitely auctioned by this guy himself, so the higher the auction, the happier he is.

It's best if the money is from Ryan, the alchemist.

Because in this way, he will be able to kill two birds with one stone.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand." Sean quoted again.

Inside the auction room, there was silence again.

But this time, the ace auctioneer Jairo didn't get distracted again, but quickly got into the mood and began to stir up the atmosphere. But unfortunately, the particularity of the ink crystal fluorite has led to the fact that only those who really understand its value will bid on this auction item, and it has been grabbed at such a sky-high price, so even if Jairo wants to break a record price, it is impossible to do it.

So this time, when Jairo announced three deals, no one opened his mouth to cut the price.

"I really can't figure out why you're filming this." Asuna saw that Sean finally spent a sky-high price to auction such a material, she was still a little incomprehensible, "If this material is really as Arnom said, the market price is 400,000 at most." To be able to grab 830,000, I think it was a battle of will between two alchemists. …… But you're good, you just spent 950,000 yuan to shoot it. ”

"That's because Arnom is an idiot." Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, "Just a silver smith really thinks that the world is invincible?" It's just a frog at the bottom of a well. He didn't know the true value of the Ink Crystal Fluorite at all. If he knew the truth, then he would definitely regret selling such a thing for 950,000 yuan today. You must know that in the surface world, ink crystal fluorite is not a common material. ”

Hearing Sean's words, both Asuna and Koss's expressions were a little shocked.

Because the two of them were not vase maids who had been professionally cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, these two naturally heard the hidden meaning of Sean's words, and it was obvious that Sean was very happy that he could win the ink crystal fluorite for 950,000, as if he had chosen a bargain.

"This thing. Isn't it only possible to create silver-level demonic equipment? ”

"If you use this thing purely as a material, you can really only create silver-level demonic equipment." Sean nodded, "But if you combine it with a few other materials." But it can be made into a special magic stabilizer. …… And this magic stabilizer is specially used on some special special effects gold-level magic equipment. I say this, can you understand the true value of ink crystal fluorite? ”

Hearing Sean's words, not only Asuna and Koss, but even the maids also looked shocked.

Because if Sean's statement is correct. Then the real value of ink crystal fluorite may be around two million.

General special effects gold magic equipment. Of course, it can't be sold so expensive. Usually the transaction price is around one million, and occasionally if there are several wealthy people in the auction house at the same time, then the transaction price may be raised by hundreds of thousands, but this is the limit. But what Sean said was a relatively special special effect gold-level demonization equipment, so this meaning is extraordinary.

By special, that means that it is either tailor-made for the user, or it is comparable to the most famous legendary epics and other equipment.

Either way. It is determined that the value of this kind of gold equipment cannot be low.

To put it in the most intuitive proportions, if a lower-level Sacred Domain powerhouse has a specially tailored special effect gold-level demonic weapon. He was even able to exert his strength to the level of two hundred or three hundred, so that even the powerhouses of the upper Sacred Domain would not dare to provoke easily. As for the Median Sanctuary, it was already an existence that could be ignored by it.

This is what really determines the value of this kind of special effects gold-level demonic equipment, after all, in the right hands, its power is no less than that of mythical equipment.

So equipment like this is not something that can be bought with money.

In this way, Sean only spent 950,000 yuan to auction the ink crystal fluorite, which is indeed a very cheap price.

It's just that the people present are very skeptical that Sean will know this.

As a war maniac, Koss was accustomed to speaking in a more straightforward manner, so as soon as he thought of the question, he immediately asked. After hearing Koss's words, although the maids next to them pretended to be careless and did not squint, their sudden accelerated heartbeat and slightly moving ears still betrayed their thoughts at this time, and it was obvious that these people had already concentrated on getting information from Sean.

In fact, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance arranged for these maids to go to the rooms of various guests, and they also did not have any good intentions.

These maids are ostensibly doing some ministry work, but at the same time, they are also the best tools for the Chamber of Commerce to gather information. As long as they stay in the room, they can naturally hear a lot of secrets or other intelligence, news and the like, and then they can receive a good remuneration as long as they report the news they heard after they go back, as for things like information screening, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is naturally responsible for other people.

Sean actually knows all about this, but he doesn't really care.

Because he has decided that he is likely to make good use of his life and career to make money in the future, it is not impossible to let out a little noise. After all, he is now a duke with a territory, and he is also a powerful man, so he no longer needs to hide the fact that he is an alchemist, after all, what nobleman would dare to force him to do something he doesn't like to do today?

"Where do you think Fred and Rena's weapons came from?" Sean chuckled. Answered Koss's question very simply.

The maids didn't react yet, but Koth and Asuna were already too shocked to speak.

Because the two of them never thought that Sean was actually a mid-level goldsmith!

That's when it happened. There was a knock on the door.

A maid finally opened the door after receiving Sean's signal.

Standing outside the door was the ace auctioneer, Jairo, who was carrying a beautifully crafted box in his hand, and there was no doubt that the ink crystal fluorite was clearly placed inside.

As is usually the case with the Chamber of Commerce, the auctioneer will definitely come with the accompanying escorts, although nominally to protect the security of the auctioned items. But everyone actually knows that the road is just to prevent guests from messing around.

But this time, it was the ace auctioneer Jairo who came alone outside the door, and Sean really couldn't say that the other party was bold. Or is there an absolute conceit of confidence in the safety of tonight's auction?

Of course, no matter what the situation, Sean didn't care anyway, he just motioned for the other party to come in after seeing him.

After entering the room, Jairo gently placed the box in his hand on the table next to him. Then turn it on. In a low and hoarse voice that was different from the passionate tone at the auction, he said: "Honorable sir, this is the ink crystal fluorite you auctioned, please check it, and if it is okay, then please pay the bill." Whatever the payment method, we can accept it. ”

Sean nodded slightly, then stepped forward to pick up the ink crystal fluorite and began to examine it carefully.

There was no difference from the piece of ink crystal fluorite that Sean had observed before, but when he held it in his hand at this time, Sean found that the cracks on this piece of ink crystal fluorite were more subtle than what he had seen on the display table before, and even in many places, it was as smooth and neat as ink.

This discovery. Makes Sean's brow furrow.

Jairo, who had been observing carefully from the side, couldn't help but say when he saw Sean frowning, "This gentleman." Do you have any questions? ”

"On the display table just now, you seem to have deliberately concealed the situation underneath this hedron." Sean pointed to the smooth and clear corner of the ink crystal fluorite, and said in a deep voice, "I'm curious, is this what your Chamber of Commerce Alliance means, or is this what the sender told you?" ”

"Is there any difference sir?" Jairo was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Asuna and Koth both asked at the same time.

Sean ignored the ace auctioneer, instead turned his head to look at Asuna and Koth, and then explained: "The true value of the ink crystal fluorite is not in its surface, but in the core block inside the crystal. Therefore, to distinguish the purity of ink crystal fluorite, it is not to look at its crystal sparkle, but to see the size and number of cracks on the surface of this crystal. …… The larger the cracks, the more dense and denser, then it proves that the purity of the spar is higher and the more mature, so that as long as some special percussion skills are passed, then the core block inside can be completely removed. ”

After explaining, Sean stretched out his hand and pointed to the piece of ink crystal fluorite in his hand, and then said: "But although the cracks on the surface of this piece of ink crystal fluorite are quite dense, the cracks are not large, and there are many interruptions, and even the bottom part is still smooth and flat or even cracks, which is enough to prove that this piece of ink crystal fluorite is not a mature ink crystal fluorite, if you forcibly take out the core block inside, it will inevitably be damaged." So if I want to get the core blocks out perfectly, I have to spend more energy, time, and money to guide and complete the process. ”

After saying this, Sean threw the ink crystal fluorite back into the box with a nonchalant face, and then turned his head to look at Jairo, this time his attitude and tone were not very friendly: "If the sender asked you to do this, then I can understand that your Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a little ignorant because there are no professionals to follow this time; But if your Chamber of Commerce Alliance decides to do this on its own, then can I understand that your Chamber of Commerce Alliance has malicious deception? ”

Hearing this, Jairo's face changed instantly.

"This thing isn't worth 950,000." Sean pouted, "Don't say it's 950,000, even if it's 300,000, it's a waste." ”

"Your Excellency......" Jairo hastened to speak, as if trying to remedy something.

It's just that Sean didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly interrupted him: "If there is anything you want to say, you go and explain it to Lodeske." By the way, when you met Lodeske, you told me a word by the way, and I still directly credited this account to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance today. So all the conditions that I told him this morning were nullified, because I am very unhappy now. …… Since there is no strict control of the auction, then why do any auctions? ”

Jairo's face also became a little ugly at this time.

Although he didn't know the origin of Shaun, he was still very clear about Lodeske, and a person who could let Lodesk personally visit him to negotiate terms would naturally not be an idle person. At least, the black-haired young man in front of him definitely has enough things that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance needs to pay attention to. And offending such a person, his Jero's fate can naturally be imagined, after all, in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, there are not a hundred but eighty ace auctioneers, and strictly speaking, it is really not worth much.

But Sean and the others didn't give Jairo any chance to explain at all, and left very neatly.

This made Jairo naturally feel extremely angry at the sender.

However, these have nothing to do with Sean and the others.

For Sean, what he needs to think about now is how to release the news so that Ryan's alchemist knows that he has saved his life. Because he does have plans to build a few bronze demonization equipment to sell for some money, but he lacks enough materials on hand, maybe he can start with this blacksmith. Of course, there is another benefit, that is, Sean has already figured out how to take this opportunity to blackmail the Chamber of Commerce Alliance again.

So, he might really have to thank Arnom a lot. (To be continued......)
