Chapter 87: The Auction (2)
The prelude to the auction had just begun, and the buyers present had already begun to peep at each other with hostile eyes, but Luo Feng still wanted to make the smell of gunpowder stronger.
Clesia told the ladies that the invitations they received had a code on it, and she would randomly select 30 codes, and the ladies who read the codes could go on stage in groups of three to get up close and personal with "Io, the one who looks at her lover from afar, the one who is immortal for ten thousand years".
As for why everyone is not allowed to take the stage, Clesia explains: "Your sisters are busy nobles, time is precious, and we don't want to organize auctions that take up too much of everyone's time. ”
In fact, the previous stage play "Titanic" had already consumed more than three hours of their precious time, and they not only complained, but were even willing to spend another three or four hours to watch "Titanic" several times if possible.
Thirty lucky spectators were quickly drawn and groups of three came up in turn, circling the sculpture in the center of the stage to get a closer look, and the braver ladies reached out to touch them.
The admiration was endless, and every lady who came into contact with Io's mechanical body had to exclaim once or twice.
"Oh, what a soft face, I really want to know what it feels like to kiss on it."
"His lips are so ......, what does it feel like to kiss me?"
"Those eyes, oh my God, are really affectionate, staring at me all the time."
……
When a lady reaches out to Io, the audience and the ladies watching Io will glaring at her and even accuse her of being uneducated.
But if it were them, they still couldn't help but stretch out their hands and touch this magical treasure. The ladies in the audience were very depressed, lamenting why the goddess Temorrah did not favor them and gave them a chance to kiss each other.
The ladies who had been given the opportunity to touch Io returned to the stage and boasted about how smooth Io's skin was, how broad his chest was, and how thick and powerful his thighs were.
It also aroused the strong curiosity and possessiveness of those ladies who did not come on stage.
At the end of this round of "commodity experience", the auction finally ushered in the final link, and Clecia walked up to the stage and said to everyone in the audience:
"Dear sisters, you have learned about Io's backstory through the stage play, and you have also observed and even touched this strange object up close, and my last thing to say is that 'Io, the one who looks at the lover from afar, the immortal one for ten thousand years' is the only existence in the main material world, and the gods will not bless the second immortal love saint again. If you don't get him this time, you won't have a chance to have him again in this life, in this life, in the next life, or even in ten thousand years. ”
Clecia walked over to the mechanical body, put her fingers together in a display pose, and continued, "If everyone doubts whether this strange thing is really immortal, then we can also do an experiment to prove it. ”
Zhang Daniu walked up to the stage with a crossbow, and without saying a word, shot an arrow at the head of the Io sculpture. The women in the audience exclaimed, as if an arrow had been shot at a living person—their beloved.
The arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, but it was easily bounced away, and although the skin of Io's mechanical body looked like a human skin, it was made of high-strength polymers, not to mention a bow shot, or a steel-core armor-piercing bullet fired by a large-caliber firearm.
Zhang Daniu replaced the crossbow with acid arrows, burning arrows, frozen arrows, demon breaking arrows, and thunderbolt arrows......
In the midst of a burst of exclamations, none of these special crossbow bolts worked, and the attack was completely immune! Shooting at Io's mechanical body only burned through and shattered his clothes, not even an inch of his skin.
Io's mechanical body is so "unmagical" tenacity and strength, far beyond the limits of the creation rules of the Faren Continent, that it has caused many damages, and has become a statue made of various "unmagical" materials in vain.
Many of the materials that make up Io's mechanical body cannot be found on the continent of Feren, but it is also impossible for the craftsmen of Feiren to disassemble and recast this mechanical body, and the furnace temperature they use to smelt the pure gold cannot reach the temperature of melting the bones of the Iomandela alloy - in fact, the melting and construction of the Mandela alloy does not use the high-temperature smelting method at all.
This sculpture is indeed a rare treasure, made of many superb materials, but it is a pity that the best craftsmen in the Feilun Continent cannot use any of the above materials, and Luo Feng can only sell it to aristocratic women as pillows.
Of course, in order to raise Io's value, it is time to show off the magical characteristics of the mechanical body's invulnerability and invulnerability.
"Since the use of magic is forbidden in the city of Askatra, in order to avoid the rebuke of the Masked Mage, we should not show this strange object in public that it is not afraid of magical attacks."
Clecia motioned to Zhang Daniu to stop and said to everyone in the audience: "Io's 'immortality' is immortal in the true sense, not just a slogan, it is just like 'true love', 'Io is eternal, a statue will be passed down forever', it can be regarded as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation." ”
Is there really an immortal thing in this world?
The women in the audience were amazed to see such a test, but they were also convinced that the authenticity of the backstory about Io had stood the test, and that it was not exaggerated or made up by art dealers.
If it weren't for the blessing of the god Shannie, the fire-haired lady, how could it have the "immortal" properties of an artifact?
"Now, your sisters have a deep understanding of this strange object." Clesia finally officially announced: "Then, our auction bidding session has officially begun, 'Io, the lover who looks at him from afar, the immortal man of ten thousand years' has a reserve price of 50,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 5,000 gold coins. ”
The reserve price is 50,000 gold coins!
This is not a small amount, and the most expensive magical equipment sold by Lady Deidri, the "Robe of Vekna", sold in the Aurora shop in the Aurora Shop of the Temple of Worgold, sold for only 40,000 gold coins.
Although the "Robe of Vekna" cannot be compared to the "Eye of Vekna" and "Hand of Vekna" in the same series, it is also a quasi-artifact that has been contaminated with the powerful magic of the God of Disabilities, the Whisperer, and the Master of Mysteries, and can make the caster perform spells instantaneously with little to no time chanting, and is a treasure that the caster dreams of.
When the nobles and ladies in the audience heard such a reserve price, they did not make a sound, but just looked at each other.
Clecia on the stage was a little nervous, she was worried that the price was too high, which scared the buyers, Io's mechanical body would not be auctioned, right?
If these aristocratic women didn't buy it, it would really be a large pile of non-combustible garbage.
