Chapter 4 Bidding
"But this is not an ordinary life absolation, I estimate that it requires half less carrying capacity than a normal life abstinence."
"Half," called Count Lomdok first, ignoring the habit of the master of belly slander and panting, leaning over to see every line of the structure carefully
The required carrying capacity is reduced by half, which means that only the carrying capacity of the normal one is required for the two Life Annihilations, and the saved carrying capacity can either be loaded with a fourth-order structure or double the number of stacks of Life Annihilation, either of which means a real increase in combat power
When it comes to the Heavenly Rank Sacred Realm or the Legendary level, even a slight increase in power is very difficult, and such a large increase immediately doubles the value of these two life extinctions
Lomdok immediately said: "I want all these two life annihilations, a total of three top-level sacrifices or equivalent magic crystals, how about if you have more such life annihilation, I will ask for as many as I want."
Richard groaned, and although Lomdok offered a slightly lower price than he expected, the promise of unlimited purchases was also worth a lot of money
So Richard didn't let the Earl wait too long and nodded: "Deal"
Overjoyed, Lomdoc carefully put away the magic sealing box, and then nodded to Lu Zhen
Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Then I will provide a small convenience for His Royal Highness Richard, we will not charge a handling fee for any expenses you spend at the auction, and you can directly deduct them from the cost of life."
It was a small but intimate arrangement, and after a happy parting, Richard followed his attendants down to rest and wait for the official start of the evening auction
At six o'clock, Richard appeared in a box on the second floor
At this time, most of the private rooms have already been seated, and the hall below is basically full, and people are entering one after another
At 6:10, a dull and stagnant feeling swept through the entire auction room
This is a spell that forbids space to prevent someone from using spatial teleportation to rush into the venue, or someone to take the opportunity to escape, and then several magic fluctuations spread throughout the venue, which are spells to prevent various types of invisibility, teleportation, or stealth
After all preparations were made, the host of the auction slowly walked in
At this time, the door of the box behind Richard was opened, Count Lomdoc walked in, sat down beside Richard, and smiled: "There are too many interests involved in this auction, Your Highness Richard may not be familiar with the trading rules of the Millennium Empire, I can help you"
"It's a great honor," Richard replied, as if Richard's crisp and neat trading style had won the favor of the imperial agent
The auction officially began at 6:30 a.m
Presiding over the auction was a sanctuary-level beauty, who placed a rectangular demon sealing box on the stage and carefully opened it to reveal a long sword that shone with cold light
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, this is a legendary-level sword"
The host's voice was not hurried, and there was no idea of prying the atmosphere in the venue, but directed everyone's attention to the legendary sword of the auction
In this semi-closed auction, the people present are either rich or expensive, and there is no shortage of strong people, and the exaggerated style will only arouse their disgust, and the lots at the ten-year event are all high-quality, and they are not afraid of arousing people's interest
The initial lot was a legendary weapon, which caused a small commotion and people exchanged words, because the usual way of increasing value meant that there would be a shocking one or two items in the auction
Richard also leaned forward slightly, wanting to see more clearly, the style attributes of that long sword, the price of weapons in legendary-level equipment was obviously higher than other equipment
"Why are you interested in this thing?" asked Lomdok, on the side
"Indeed," Richard replied, and among his followers was a sword-wielding Splash, Crimson, and Zonghu, who were good at it, and Richard would be willing to change their outfits if the price was right
However, Richard still underestimated the foundation of the thousand-year-old empire, and the price of this legendary longsword quickly exceeded his budget, and Richard shook his head and gave up the intention of bidding, after all, there were many more important things to come
The auction is gradually gaining popularity, and the host's voice is moderately high-pitched
Millions of gold coins flowed with money, and at this time, it had become a simple number, and the high-purity magic crystal had become the main currency, and the sacrifices of all levels would appear on the exchange list from time to time, and Richard also made two hands and obtained two rather rare materials
Soon the auction will be in the heart of the first ** Mountain Lord
The host first carefully showed the lot, the hunter is obviously a legendary powerhouse and a master of keeping the prey, this huge heart with a meter square is still beating
Richard knew at a glance that the activity of the heart was almost intact, and his heart pounded
This heart is a top-level sacrifice in itself, but since it can be used for construction, its actual value is still higher than that of a top-level sacrifice, in addition to its attraction to constructors, it can also be used for many alchemy machines, various magical equipment, and some mages will also be interested in this heart in order to study powerful creatures
Before the host finished the introduction, someone shouted: "Ten million gold coins"
There was silence in the entire auction room, and another cold voice sounded: "Eleven million"
"Twelve Million"
This time, there was no impassioned atmosphere, the sound of bidding one by one was slow and calm, but the more this happened, the more it reflected the determination to win, and the process of raising the price was also cold, and the standard of one million was added rapidly, almost without interval, obviously the current price was far from reaching the reserve price in everyone's minds
Richard waited for the price to increase to 16 million before raising his first bid: "A top sacrifice"
This bid caused a small commotion, and the top sacrifice may not be able to sell for sixteen million, but this transaction is one-way, that is, the top sacrifice can be exchanged for gold coins, but how many gold coins are taken out may not be able to be exchanged for the top sacrifice
The auction host and the appraiser who was pressing on the side urgently negotiated for a while, announcing the approval of Richard's bid
There was a small sensation in the auction room, and the real-time price comparison between the gold coins and the top sacrifices was only a trivial matter, and the important thing was that bidding with the sacrifices actually meant the beginning of a murderous bidding
A deep voice came from another box: "A top-notch sacrifice plus a million gold coins"
"Two more gold coins"
The bidding was quickly approaching, plus nine million gold coins, and at this time, the people sitting in the hall basically lost their ability to bid, but the sound of bidding was heard from time to time in the box
There are more than 30 boxes in the entire circular theater, and there are several people sitting in each box, just counting the number of boxes, it can be seen from the side that the thousand-year-old empire has a deep heritage, far above the Holy Alliance, and many lots in this auction can be used as the finale of the Holy Alliance
Richard was not in a hurry, and waited until this time to ask for another 10 million gold coins
The auction hall was quiet, and most of the competitors had given up their bids at the moment, after all, they could find a better alternative at this price, but for Richard, it was a material that was determined to be obtained
After seeing the huge heart that was still beating with his own eyes, Richard immediately turned over more than a dozen fine-tuned design plans in his heart, and determined that it could be used as a key material in Midalen's Battle Edition, and it was as irreplaceable as the Star Beast Soul Crystal
The silence was soon broken: "Add another 12 million gold coins"
The voice was high-pitched and untouchable
After calling out the bidding price, someone leaned out of the railing of the box and continued in a proud voice: "I am the agent of Master Fitzlock, and I have just received news from the master, this thing is very important for him to attack the Holy Constructor, so I hope you can give up the bid on the Mountain Lord's Heart, or you will bear the consequences."
There was another commotion in the theater, and many voices of discontent were voiced, but no one publicly spoke out against it
Richard was no stranger to Fitzrock
Fitzlock is one of the three major constructors of the Millennium Empire, and is the oldest and most promising one of the most promising to impact the Holy Constructor, Fitzlock has mastered more than ten kinds of fourth-order constructs, including three self-created fourth-order constructs, Fitzlock was promoted to a legendary mage ten years ago, and Fitzlock, who was less than a hundred years old, was promoted to a legendary mage, thus opening the door to the Holy Constructor, and ten years of research and accumulation undoubtedly made Fitzlock's hope of attacking the Holy Constructor growing day by day
Fitzlock is also close to St. Paul of the Holy Tree Dynasty, and the Holy Architect is also the Royal Chief Builder, Richard was originally also a Royal Architect of the Holy Alliance, but now after quitting the Holy Alliance, he naturally lost this title
Richard is a figure who has risen like a comet, in the public perception, he seems to have been like a bamboo since the first construction conference, all the way up, easily breaking through the realm of the Holy Architect, and because of this, he has no contact with other Architects, especially Fitzlock, an old and famous Architect, who has no contact with each other, and the friendship between them is not as good as when Richard first released the third-level Build, there are still many Builders who are willing to communicate with him, and after he continues to make this special Build, the Builders and his contacts have become cold
At this time, the host of the auction had to speak, and said with some anger: "Count Oruo, please pay attention to your words and deeds, this is an imperial auction with a history of three hundred and fifty years, and must not in any way hinder the free bidding of other dignitaries."
