Makaru smiled slightly, swept his eyes around the faces of the complaining people, and then said calmly, "The four-point auction is just a habit, and no one in Alchemy City stipulates that the auction must be held at four o'clock, besides, this is just an impromptu auction, and there will be other things auctioned at four o'clock after the auction of this formula, I don't think it's a bad rule." Makalu's words were plain, but it gave people an irresistible momentum, and after he said this, he didn't give the alchemists around him who still wanted to refute any chance to speak, and then turned around and asked Wu Song, "Young man, you have no objection to auctioning the alchemy formula now." ”

"It's all up to you, Master." Wu Song smiled and nodded, the moment he met Makalu's eyes, he felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest by a sledgehammer.

"That's good." Makalu raised his head and said unhurriedly, "Since the kid who sold the thing said that he agreed to sell it now, then I announce that the auction for the alchemy formula of the goblin ecstasy paste will start now, the reserve price of this thing is five million crystal coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 100,000 crystal coins, and friends in need can bid now." ”

"Wait." As soon as Makalu's words fell, a feminine voice suddenly sounded not far away, Wu Song followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a robe printed with golden stripes walking over with a group of people, Wu Song took a closer look, and the red-robed alchemist who had been scolded by Makalu before followed closely behind the middle-aged woman, and stared at Makalu with an extremely resentful gaze.

The moment Makaru saw the middle-aged woman, his eyes were full of light, but soon the old man regained his composure, and greeted you woman with a faint smile, "Master Grace, if I'm not mistaken, it should be your turn to guard the Xuanhuo Alchemy Store today, right?" I don't know why you didn't stay in the Xuanhuo Alchemy Shop, why did you come to me? "The middle-aged woman's name is Grace, she is a very famous alchemy master in the Xuanhuo Alchemy Tower, this woman is known as the city of alchemy maniacs, and she became a well-known alchemy master as early as her twenties, and now, her achievements in alchemy are no less than Makalu.

"Hmph, my own junior has been bullied, so I, as an elder, naturally want to come over and take a look." Grace snorted coldly, raised her two thin eyebrows upward, stared at Makalu unceremoniously, and asked with a great sense of asking questions, "Master Makalu, you are also an old-timer in our alchemy world, you shouldn't be so careless about your identity and give a heavy hand to a junior, right?" Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation by doing such a thing? ”

"Master Grace, so you're here for this." A hint of sarcasm flashed in Makalu's eyes, and he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master Grace, this kid still needs to be disciplined more, talking nonsense is not good for his growth, in my case, it's just to educate him, if he messes with people who shouldn't be messed with because of nonsense outside, he also thinks he will have to pay a greater price, I'll help you educate it, isn't it a good thing for him?" ”

Grace sneered, looked at Makalu with disdain and said, "Master Makalu, you mean that you hit my apprentice, and I should thank you instead, right?" ”

"Of course." Makalu stroked his beard and snorted and said, "Master Grace, when you often help inspect some auction items in the Xuanhuo Alchemy Shop, if when you inspect the auction items, without waiting for your quotation, my apprentice rushes forward to contact the owner of the item to make a private transaction, what will you do?" Wouldn't it be better to praise him if he didn't teach him a lesson? If you think it's appropriate to do this, then I, Makalu, sincerely apologize to you, but tomorrow I will send a few people to your Xuanhuo Alchemy to break this rule, and I hope Master Grace you don't mind! ”

"You..." Grace is notoriously strong in Alchemy City, but some rules are not something she can trample on at will, although it is said that the Xuan Alchemy Tower and the Blue Sky Alchemy Tower have long been incompatible, but for alchemists of their level, respect is mutual, if Makalu really sends a few people to Xuanhuo Alchemy to stir up, even Grace will not be able to bear it, but this woman's brain turned quickly, and seeing that she could not take advantage of this issue, Grace immediately followed Makalu's words to change the topic.

"Master Makalu, what you said is quite right, there are indeed rules to be followed in some things, but this unruly is not the only one in my apprentice? If I'm not mistaken, the rules of auctions at four o'clock in the afternoon have existed for thousands of years in the major alchemy houses in this alchemy city, right? I would like to ask, why did you, a rule-abiding person, advance the auction to this point, is this what you call obedience? ”

"The auction at four o'clock in the afternoon of the major alchemy shops in this alchemy city seems to be just a habit, there are no specific rules, right?" Makalu smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly, "Master Grace, the days you joined the Alchemy City are not very long, maybe you don't know much about some of the history of the Alchemy City, this alchemy shop held an auction at four o'clock in the afternoon was first implemented by Master Omeruk of the Yanlong Alchemy Tower more than 1,400 years ago, and then everyone felt that it was more reasonable to hold a daily auction during this time period~ so they followed suit, as for the rules, I really haven't heard of anyone who stipulates that the auction must be held at four o'clock in the afternoon."

If you don't believe me, you can go to the library and check out the books about Master Omeruk, I'm sure you'll find the materials, and since this auction time isn't a dead rule, why can't I advance it a little earlier? In addition, I also consulted the owner of the item, and the decision was made after his consent, and now that the auction is only one item, the auction will still be held as scheduled at four o'clock, do you think there is anything wrong with my approach? If there's nothing else going on, I wonder if you can go back? ”

Grace listened to Makalu's words surprisingly did not refute, but smiled, she looked at Makalu with a strange expression on her face and said, "Master Makalu, why did you advance the auction, everyone has a good idea in their hearts, it is not interesting to break it in person, but this alchemy shop has always been in and out at will, I want to visit you today, and then buy some useful things by the way, can't you?" ”

"Then it's up to you." Makalu laughed, didn't quarrel with Grace anymore, and then said to everyone, "Okay, let's go ahead with the auction, we have all seen the effects of this goblin ecstasy ointment, the reserve price is five million, and friends in need can quote your price." ”
