45. Ink crystal fluorite

Demonic weapons, according to different strengths, can be divided into three grades: bronze, silver, and gold. According to the size of the magic power of each grade, it can be subdivided into five levels: micro effect, weak effect, medium effect, strong effect, and special effect. If it is said that the level of demonic equipment alone is only at the level of demonization, there are a total of fifteen levels, and the higher the level, the more powerful it is.

However, demonized equipment is not something that anyone can forge.

Only those special craftsmen, known as alchemists, were able to forge equipment of this level. Among them, the difference in the level of forging skills and the way of using materials also leads to the high and low attainments of these alchemists.

Like Sean, as long as he is given enough materials, it is no longer a problem to forge gold-level demonic equipment with his current skills, and the minimum guarantee can also reach medium-effective gold.

For example, the Flame Spear Shatter used by Rena and the Flame Lion Fang used by Alfred are both medium-effective gold-grade equipment.

Of course, if you want to increase your power again, Sean is not impossible. It's just that he can't perfectly control the consumption of materials in this area now, so it is likely to lead to a waste of materials, which is a bit more than worth the loss. After all, Sean's current family is not rich enough for him to waste and consume these materials at will.

However, these are based on the premise of the "golden grade" standard.

If it is based on the "bronze grade", Sean can forge as much as he wants, and with his current skills, it is not a problem to make two pieces a day, and if he is lucky, he can even forge three pieces. But if it's silver. Then only one piece will be produced in about a week; As for the higher-level gold grade, being able to produce one piece in a month is already a very astonishing speed.

Before that, Sean had always used the price of the game to measure the standard of this world.

Until this moment. When he saw that this demonized short knife, which was very ordinary in Sean's eyes, could be auctioned for a sky-high price of 80,000 yuan, Sean realized that he didn't know so much about the prices in this world. This also made Sean finally understand why so many people before saw the demonic weapons in the hands of Rena and Alfred, even if the strength of those opponents was already very strong, they would show that kind of desperate and envious gaze.

That's because demonization equipment is definitely a rare item in this world!

According to Sean's current understanding, there is only one alchemy blacksmith in the entire Ryan Kingdom, but what level of demonization equipment can he make. Sean didn't know. The only information I could get from Asuna was that the alchemist only accepted four orders a year, except that the materials needed to be brought by the guests. The handling fee is usually no less than 50,000 Pan-Continent Gold Coins.

If this is used as a speculation point, Sean thinks that the level of this alchemist is probably the level of bronze. If it is played at a super level, it may be a powerful bronze demonization equipment, and the normal level is estimated to be between weak and medium effects. That's the only way. It can be explained why this medium-effect bronze short knife can fetch an astonishing high price of 80,000 yuan. Because judging by the level of the Ryan Kingdom, it is almost the price of asking the alchemist to sell.

But even so, there are still many nobles in the Ryan Kingdom, and they even have to fight for such a place.

Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, and he decided to go back and get a demonic equipment to sell.

While Sean was thinking about what kind of demonization equipment to make, the auction was still in full swing. Perhaps because of the good start, the next few auction items were auctioned at a good price, although it was not an astonishing sky-high price. But compared to normal prices, it is still a little profitable, at least in Sean's eyes, it belongs to the type of people who are more stupid.

"The next auction item. It is a relatively rare material. At this time, standing on the booth is a new auctioneer, different from the previous auctioneers, this auctioneer is still quite young, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, but he has a momentum that the previous auctioneers can not match, "The specific situation of this material is not clear to our chamber of commerce, because the sender is vague." …… For such auction items, our chamber of commerce alliance generally does not take over, but this sender said a word, so we decided to give it a try. ”

In most auctions, only one or two auctioneers are prepared, and they will use their eloquence to stir up the atmosphere of the entire auction room, and even prepare some support to raise the price when necessary. Different chambers of commerce or auctions have different rules on consignment auctions, the normal market price is that each auction price has to pay 10% of the transaction price as the income of the auctioneer, of course, there are some small chambers of commerce in this area will definitely charge a lower fee, so as to attract others to send the auction.

However, auctions, which are officially organized by the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, are different.

Usually they will arrange more than a dozen or more auctioneers, each of whom will draw lots to draw the number of the lot and be responsible for the auction of these lots. In addition, if the auction item is consigned and successfully auctioned, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will charge an additional 10% fee, which means that if the person who consigns the auction is successfully auctioned, he must pay 20% of the salary to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

The auctioneer standing at the booth at this moment has made it very clear that this auction item is consignment, and also emphasized some special features of this auction item. Logically speaking, this is a taboo in auctions, but the reason why the Chamber of Commerce Alliance still allows so many people to pay 20% of their salary to send the auction is because the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has almost no possibility of unsuccessful auction - and for the people who participate in the auction, the reason why they dare to spend money is also because the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has a high degree of integrity, at least they will not buy fake or shoddy goods.

It's just that none of these things are important to Sean.

What really matters. The auction item that catches Sean's eye now.

This is an irregular crystal.

The crystals were pitch black as ink, and there were some dusty substances on them, which looked like they had fallen into sugar water and rolled on the mud or something. The first impression is that it is dirty. In addition, there are many subtle cracks on the surface of the crystal, which directly destroy the overall value of the crystal - if it were not for these cracks, then the crystal would be worth at least a little bit of money, even if it looks dirty.

"What, you're interested in that thing?" Asuna asked suddenly.

"If it's really Ink Crystal Fluorite...... Sean nodded, "Then I'm really interested." ”

"Oh?" Asuna raised an eyebrow. Then he stared at the dirty-looking stone earnestly.

"What's so good about a stone like this?" Koth on the side said with some confusion, "It doesn't look good, if you like obsidian." I'll send you some later. There's a lot of obsidian and other crystals in my territory. ”

"Poof." Asuna burst out laughing at Koss's words, and she glanced at Sean, who was almost entirely focused on the hedrons. Then he said. "What can be studied so seriously by our Lord Sean, I think it will definitely not be cheap."

"No matter how valuable it is, it's only a starting price of 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins." Koth frowned, he didn't know what the broken stone was worth.

"Twenty or thirty thousand?" Sean raised his eyebrows, "If even the people of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can't see the value of this thing, but it can be auctioned by the sender, then it proves that the sender knows the value of this thing." In this way, the value will definitely not be low. ”

"This special material is the forging ...... of demonic equipment"

The auctioneer's words just came out. The sound of conversation, which was already a bit of a stumbling conversation, instantly fell silent, but after a few seconds of silence. Even though these private rooms have excellent sound insulation, they still can't stop the tsunami-like sound.

"What level of demonization equipment can this material be used for?"

"What exactly is the effect of this material?"

"How many pieces of demonic equipment can this material provide?"

"This material ......"

The sound of questions one after another instantly drowned out the auctioneer at the booth.

After these voices came out, they all underwent some voice change processing in the private room, but in fact, if you listen carefully, Asuna and Kos can still distinguish a few of them who have had a more in-depth communication, of course, these nobles are now all on the opposite side of Sean and the others.

In the face of the aggressiveness of so many nobles, the auctioneer still had a calm and breezy face, he reached out and pressed it in the air, and the noisy noise quickly became quiet. After the whole scene was completely calm, the auctioneer spoke: "The sender didn't explain the special features of this material, so in fact, we don't know what is going on." But he said that if it was an alchemist, he would definitely be able to recognize the value of this material, and it could be said that this thing was a material prepared for an alchemist. ”

This statement is exactly the same as if it was not, so soon these nobles began to shout in a mess again.

But this time, the auctioneer had no intention of replying, he picked up the auction hammer, and then knocked it three times on the booth before he said in a deep voice: "Mojing fluorite, the starting price is 50,000 yuan, and the price increase is not less than 5,000 each time." …… Bidding, start now. ”

"He is worthy of being one of the ace auctioneers of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and only this kind of bearing can suppress these nobles." Asuna's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she smiled, "But I didn't expect that this time the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would actually let Jero come out, it seems that it attaches great importance to this auction." ”

Sean didn't know who Gairo was, but he knew very well that there was such a thing as a broken branch of the tree of life in this three-day auction, so it was a very normal thing to have an ace auctioneer attend such an auction. However, for someone like Asuna who doesn't know the situation, Jairo's appearance naturally means something different, and many of the Ryan nobles present may think that this is an attempt by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to curry favor with the Ryan Kingdom.

"Wait a minute." At the time when Jairo decided to start the auction. But someone still interrupted him.

"Do you have any questions, sir?" Although Jairo was still smiling, Sean was keenly aware that there was a faint momentum floating in his body at this moment. It's just that he was soon pressed down again.

Overmatch!

This unexpected discovery made Sean stunned for a moment, this kind of aura definitely belongs to the golden powerhouse.

He didn't expect that this auctioneer Jairo was actually a gold-level powerhouse! It's just that it's the upper gold or the lower gold, this is a little uncertain, after all, his breath is too weak, if it weren't for the moment he showed dissatisfaction. Sean couldn't have noticed.

However, it was obviously not only Sean who could be perceived, even the expressions of Asuna and Koth became serious.

"I just want to know about it. If you take a picture of this fluorite, but find that it is a counterfeit and shoddy product, what should you do if you lose it? ”

"That's indeed Ink Crystal Fluorite." Before Jairo could speak, someone interrupted the nobleman's voice. "This material can indeed be used to craft demonic equipment. Even if the other materials are a little worse, it is not a problem to make a silver-level demonic equipment. …… The starting price of 50,000 yuan is low. ”

Hearing this man's words, Sean immediately sensed that the entire auction hall seemed to be in a fiery atmosphere.

However, not everyone will fall into a frenzy because of this sentence "silver-level demonized equipment", and there are still many people who remain calm. Although they didn't think that the people of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would need someone to be the support, the cautious attitude of the nobles still made them not easily trust anyone, and some people still raised some new questions at this time. Most of them are aimed at the person who spoke just now, and they are asking about the identity of the other party.

"Hmph." Hearing the aggressive questions of so many nobles. This man was not as polite as Jairo, and after a cold snort, he said in a deep voice, "I am Arnome." ”

Hearing this, there was immediately a gasp of cold air.

Only Sean didn't know what to say: "Arnome? Who is it? Isn't it amazing? ”

"The alchemy blacksmith from Dabion's side in the past." Asuna's voice was also a little excited, "I almost forgot about this!" At the beginning, Dabiang was slightly stronger than Ryan in terms of national strength, purely because there were two alchemy blacksmiths on Dabiang's side, one of whom was the military's royal alchemy blacksmith, and the other was this Arnome. …… His fame is greater than the other, after all, the foundation of the forging technique is there, and it is naturally much more powerful than the alchemy blacksmith of our Ryan. …… When the national war broke out, this alchemy blacksmith could not be found, but he didn't expect to be secretly brought back to the royal capital, and now it depends on the situation that this alchemy blacksmith should have officially joined Lane. ”

"Awesome?" Sean was a little curious, "How powerful?" ”

"It is said that he has already produced more than a dozen silver-level demonization equipment." Asuna thought for a moment, and then spoke, "But if you want to calculate it according to the standard of the middle stage silver craftsman of the Craftsman Guild, it can only be counted as nine pieces. ”

There is actually a standard for judging the strength of the alchemy blacksmith.

And this criterion is made by the Craftsman Guild.

Those who can forge bronze-level demonic equipment are bronze craftsmen; After that, if you can forge ten pieces of medium-effect bronze demonization equipment, you can be regarded as a mid-level bronze craftsman; In the future, he can forge ten pieces of special effect bronze demonization equipment, which is a high-level bronze craftsman. As for the standards of silver and gold, it is also the same thing, as long as you can forge demonized equipment that meets this judgment standard, you can go to the Craftsman Guild to apply for certification, which is a very useful identity certification.

Like Sean, if you go to the Craftsman Guild, it's no problem to certify the title of a mid-level gold smith.

This Arnom was a silversmith.

As long as he successfully creates a medium-level silver-level demonic equipment, then he can get the title of mid-level silver craftsman.

"And what about the one before our Ryan?" Thinking of this, Sean opened his mouth again and asked, "High-level bronze master?" ”

"Yes." Asuna nodded, "But I guess Mr. Cady must be here now." It is said that he began to try to attack the silversmith last year, but it is not clear whether he succeeded or not. …… This year, I didn't have time to go back to the royal capital until now. ”

"Then tonight's auction is probably really going to set off a bloody storm." Sean touched his nose and smiled wryly.

He knows it well. Ryan's alchemist must have not succeeded in impacting.

In other words, these two alchemists were very desperate to need this piece of ink crystal fluorite to attack their higher stages. Regardless of the problems with the Craftsman's Guild's own judging criteria, but for the Craftsmen. The perception that can be gained when successfully forging equipment is indeed not low, and it can even be said to be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For this reason, it is very rare in the game to fight for a single material.

In in-game parlance, experience and proficiency increase dramatically.

At this time, no one in the auction dared to question the authenticity of the auction item again, after all, even a very authoritative person like Arnholm had spoken. Who would dare to be presumptuous in this regard? So soon, the atmosphere became a little calm, and of course many people were more curious. Since the starting price of this piece of ink crystal fluorite is so high, and it has even completely exceeded the first auction item that is a good start, what is it that is not the finale auction item?

It doesn't even appear in the catalog.

Among the many nobles present, there were catalogues sent by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. All of them have detailed descriptions of what will be auctioned during the three-day auction.

Perhaps aware of the doubts of everyone present. The auctioneer smiled and said, "Actually, this lot is an auction item that we just received from the sender, because the sender is in urgent need of money, so many other steps were omitted and temporarily inserted into this auction." …… If you're okay, then we're ready to start bidding. ”

As the auctioneer's words fell, the alchemist named Arnom spoke directly: "Two hundred thousand! ”

"Wow". The entire auction hall was in an uproar.

"Tsk." Sean smacked his lips, "These alchemists are really rich. ”

"Because everybody is asking them to help. Of course there is money. Asuna smiled, "Two hundred thousand, for Lane, is just a year's honorarium." If you count other extra money and the like, I'm afraid it's more than this money a year. ”

"The money comes quickly, and the expenses are also large." Sean said disapprehantly.

The one who is really the most profitable is the alchemy blacksmith above the grade of the middle silver craftsman.

Like Anom and the high-level bronze master of the Ryan Kingdom, they are still in the stage of "burning proficiency", and even if they make money, the deposit is estimated to not be very large. However, these two craftsmen are very smart, and they rely on the royal family or those nobles who need them to burn their skills, which can save a lot of money, which is the same as the life professional players who defected to large guilds in the game.

"Two hundred thousand for the second time."

After Anom spoke, the whole venue was silent for a full ten seconds, and still no one dared to bid, and the auctioneer finally began to raise the gavel helplessly.

"200,000th ......"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Just as the hammer was about to fall, someone finally began to quote again.

"Huh?" There was a cold snort of discontent from Anome's room.

"You're not the only alchemist in Ryan." In response to Arnome's disgruntled snort, the second bidder replied with the same sneer.

At this moment, if no one knows the identity of this person, then these people present are not old foxes in the political arena.

Obviously, the next scene must belong to the battle between these two alchemists.

And for such a shocking bloody scene, there will undoubtedly be two people present who are most happy to see.

The first one, of course, is the ace auctioneer Jairo.

The higher this thing is auctioned, the higher the reward he can get.

And the second, of course, is the sender.

Although he had to pay 20% of the auction price to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the money he could get would definitely not be less.

After Arnom guessed the identity of the second bidder, he stopped talking nonsense and directly began to bid. But in the face of Anome's bid, Ryan, the alchemy blacksmith, naturally clenched his bite, so in just a short period of time, the ink crystal fluorite had already been auctioned for a real sky-high price of 500,000!

An ordinary silver-level demonization equipment, even if Sean had misestimated the price of this world before, it would never exceed the price of 200,000. Even if it is a medium-grade silver equipment, unless it has some special properties or something, it will float around 300,000, and if it is particularly good performance, it may be sold for about 400,000 through auctions and other means.

Further up, that's the price of gold-grade demonic equipment.

Sean originally thought that the medium-potency gold-grade equipment was only worth 200,000 or 300,000, which was really an insult to the demonized equipment. Fortunately, through this vivid auction today, Sean's common sense in this regard has finally been remedied, which is also a very good progress for his money-making plan in the future. Therefore, it is only natural that he understands the true value of such materials better than anyone else.

In every respect, ink fluorite has far exceeded its own value.

After all, this is just a piece of material for silver demonization equipment.

However, this is only for the vast majority of alchemists in this world.

In Sean's eyes, at least the ink crystal fluorite has not yet reached the limit of its true value.

However, the astonishing price of 500,000 finally cooled the hot minds of the two alchemy blacksmiths a little.

It's just this cooling, that is, a slight cooling down.

Because for these two people, the true value of the ink crystal fluorite is not to forge a piece of silver equipment, but to break through their current shackles, allowing them to move to a more advanced stage. Whether it is a breakthrough to the Silver Smith or a mid-stage Silver Smith, it is still a rare insight and harvest for these two alchemy blacksmiths, and this harvest will be returned to them ten times the current price in the future.

"Five hundred and one thousand." The bidder was Ryan's original alchemist smith.

"Huh." Arnholm still sneered and taunted with a simple and crude sneer, "Five hundred and fifty thousand." ”

"Five hundred and seventy thousand."

"Six hundred thousand."

On one side is a price increase of 11,000 yuan, and on the other side there is still a price increase of tens of thousands of yuan, and the economic gap between the two has been significantly reflected. Of course, in fact, it is not ruled out that the alchemy blacksmith of the Ryan Kingdom is hiding the possibility that he is clumsy, after all, the money he has earned over the years has almost nothing to pay, and it is unlikely that he will only save this, unless he really encounters something and spends it.

In the blink of an eye, the bidding price quickly increased to 780,000.

At this time, Ryan's alchemy blacksmith was still 5,500 yuan in price increase, which was the lowest price increase that the auctioneer had said before. On the other hand, Arnholm has obviously reached the limit, because he is no longer the previous increase of tens of thousands, but has begun to increase the price of 11,000.

It's just that at this time, Sean's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly understood something: "Anom has long known that Dao Lane, the alchemy blacksmith, is present tonight, and it is obvious that Dao Dao has such a piece of ink crystal fluorite to be auctioned." ”

"What?" Asuna and Koth were a little surprised.

"Arnom really wants to impact the strength of the mid-stage silver craftsman, but what he wants to rely on is not this ink crystal fluorite." Sean said in a deep voice, "It should be something else, but the funds are not enough, so he is digging a hole, trying to squeeze his opponent's funds to act as his stepping stone." …… Tsk, it's so condescending to be an alchemist when you have this mind. ”

Almost as soon as Sean spoke like this, the ink crystal fluorite had already been photographed to eight hundred and thirty thousand.

The successful bidder was the alchemist of the Ryan Kingdom, and Anom had not bid for more than ten seconds, so the auctioneer's countdown had begun.

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand for the first time!"

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand for the second time!"

"Eighty three thousand third ......"

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand."

As soon as this bid came out, everyone was shocked! (To be continued......)

PS: There have been a little more things in the past two days, I'm sorry, I thought that this week's worst could keep changing, I'm really sorry.
