Chapter 122: The Auction (Part I)
Chapter 122: The Auction (Part I)
The only auction house in Meteorite City, the Luo family auction house. []
It is held once a month in the middle of the month.
At the same time, the Luo family will invite the famous people in Meteorite City to participate, and there will also be many owners with gold coins to come over to patronize and see if there is a chance to catch good things.
The things that can be put on the auction are naturally extraordinary, otherwise there is no need to put them up for auction at the auction.
Early in the morning, the auction was attended by people with heads and faces in Meteorite City, and of course, many representatives of small families and well-known mercenaries came to participate.
Even if they can't auction anything, it's good if they can open their eyes.
The auction is not accessible to everyone, except for the top dignitaries of the auction, everyone must pay 1,000 gold coins to enter, and those who need a box require 10,000 gold coins.
This kind of charging can eliminate many civilians who want to come in and watch the play for free.
As more and more people came in, the auction gradually became lively.
"I heard that no, this time the Luo family has collected a lot of good things for auction, and Gu said that there are third-order low-level spiritual grasses."
"Cut, what's so surprising about this, in previous years, there were also third-order mid-rank spirit grasses at auctions."
"It's the first time I've come here, I'm not familiar with it, I don't know if there will be any mysterious artifacts in this auction?"
"You are stupid, if there is really a mysterious weapon, I am afraid that the Luo family will take the lead in buying it and will definitely not take it out for auction, I really don't know how you got into the auction."
"Look, it's someone from the Lan family who is here."
At the entrance of the auction, Lan Dingshan of the Lan family walked in with a young girl and several guards.
The Lan family and the Li family have formed an alliance, and the status of the Lan family has risen from a high level, and now the Lan family has a faint tendency to move towards the big family, but if you really want to step into the ranks of the big family, you still need years of precipitation and accumulation, and it is not possible to do it overnight.
"The people of the Li family are also here."
Then, a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance, accompanied by a young man and a guard.
The person who came was Li Yuanhua, the second son of the head of the Li family, and standing beside him was Li Guangyin, who had been taught by Ling Xiao, but he didn't expect that a year later, this guy had become a low-level martial artist from an eighth-level martial artist, and it seemed that he had also gained a lot of sex in this year.
"Brother Yuanhua, Brother Yuanlong is good," Lan Dingshan immediately stepped forward to greet Li Yuanhua as soon as he saw him.
Li Yuanhua said with a smile, "Brother Lao Lan is concerned, my eldest brother is fine."
"That's good, I will personally visit Brother Yuanlong and Yuanhua in the future, and wish the nobles to dominate the meteorite city as soon as possible," Lan Dingshan lowered his posture and said flatteringly.
"Haha, this is natural, Brother Lan, please" Li Yuanhua was obviously very happy, and made a gesture of invitation, and walked to the VIP box with Lan Dingshan.
Li Guangyin looked at the slim girl beside Lan Dingshan, couldn't suppress his nature, and kept being courteous to the girl on the side, flattering in every way.
However, the girl didn't seem to be interested in Li Guangyin, and every time she answered, she only responded very implicitly.
In Li Guangyin's eyes, he felt that such a girl had a lot of internal information, and he was even more determined to get this girl.
With the arrival of the Li Lan family, the Ling family also came, and on behalf of the Ling family came Ling Chong, the son of the fifth elder, who was the head of the Ling family and controlled the finances, so this kind of auction was naturally taken care of by him.
Ling Chong also brought someone here, needless to say that it was his youngest son Ling Rui.
Ling Chong went directly to the VIP box with a handsome face.
As the time for the auction arrived, the auction was already crowded.
At this time, the young woman auctioneer who received Ling Xiao and the others yesterday walked into the venue, and she was followed by two maids who were still carrying the auction items covered with red cloths.
The young woman was dressed very glamorously today, and she was dressed very hotly and dazzlingly. As soon as she entered, the men in the room were aroused, and a burst of screams resounded throughout the auction room.
The young woman stroked her bangs, showed a bright smile and said, "Welcome to this auction, everyone is also an old friend, I believe and know the rules of the auction, that is, any auctioned item is the one with the highest price, and the auction will start today's first item, the second-order high-level gentleman's sword."
The maid beside the young woman uncovered the red cloth, and a long sword one and a half meters long appeared in everyone's eyes.
The pure white scabbard, shining, is only inlaid with a thumb-sized purple crystal on the hilt, and there is no other superfluous decoration, just looking at the surface is simple and generous, and it really has the demeanor of a gentleman.
"This sword is from the hand of Master Li, the master of refining, and it belongs to the best of the second-order high-level sword weapons, with a starting price of 50,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 500 gold coins," the young woman pointed to the gentleman's sword and said again.
As soon as the young woman's words were finished, a young man from a small family cried out, "I will pay 50,500 gold coins."
"I'll give 51,000 gold coins" In the other direction, a young man from the same small family followed the bidding.
The young man who was the first to make the "51,500 gold coins" did not want to be weakly responded.
"Fifty-two thousand gold coins".
......
As the auction began, several more people followed suit, and the bids got higher and higher.
In the Ling family's box, Ling Rui also took a fancy to the sword weapon in front of him, and shouted at his father, "Dad, what do you think of this sword?"
Ling Chong closed his eyes and said lightly, "Unless you can break through the Xuanshi, you don't want to use such a high-level sword weapon in your life."
Ling Rui said embarrassedly, "I mean it's not bad to buy it for the eldest brother, didn't the eldest brother just break through the Xuanshi level."
Ling Chong snorted coldly and did not continue to speak.
On the Li family's side, Li Yuanhua thinks that this sword is good, and his eldest son has just broken through the Xuanshi step in retreat and is worried that there is no weapon to use, and this sword seems to be just right.
He whispered to Li Guangyin on the side.
Li Guangyu shouted very happily: "Our Li family will give 100,000 gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and no one dared to bid with the Li family.
"If there is no one to increase the price, if no one increases the price, this sword will belong to the young master of the Li family" The young woman shouted with a loud voice, but she knew that in general, few people in the Li family or the Ling family would dare to bid.
Just when the young woman was about to make a final decision, a voice came from another VIP box, "My young master will give 150,000 gold coins."
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the auction was in an uproar.
None of them expected that someone would dare to provoke the Li family.
"Who is in box eight, who dares to bid with the Li family, it shouldn't be the Ling family."
"Could it be someone from outside the city, otherwise it would be impossible to dare to bid with the Li family!"
"Hehe, there are always some people who eat the bear's heart and leopard gall."
......
Li Guangyin, who was in the Li family's box, was angry, and immediately didn't wait for him to speak, and shouted again, "The Li family has 200,000 gold coins."
Li Yuanhua on the side frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
With the background of their Li family, there are still second-order high-level sword weapons, and he wanted to auction this sword as a gift for his son, but he didn't expect someone to jump out to bid, obviously not taking their Li family in his eyes, and killing power had already risen in his heart.
At this time, there was another rumor in the No. 8 box, "My young master gave out 210,000 gold coins."
"Damn, I'll give 250,000 gold coins," Li Guangyin finished without thinking about it, and immediately increased the price.
At this time, Li Yuanhua shouted slightly angrily, "Enough, it's not worth it for a sword."
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Sure enough, after Li Guangyin finished shouting, there was no more bidding in the No. 8 box, and the Junzi Sword belonged to the Li family.
This was so angry that Li Yuanhua almost kicked Li Guangyin out, the second-order high-level sword weapon is extraordinary, but it is not worth the price, this time it can be regarded as a big wrong, and it will be teased by other families behind his back.
The auction continued, and the second piece was presented with a blue soft guard.
The young woman introduced that this soft guard armor is made of the thousand-year-old silk of the second-order high-level silk beast, which can block the attack of weapons below the second-order high-level without destroying it, and the starting price is 80,000 gold coins.
"This armor is not bad," muttered a white-robed young man in the eighth box, looking at the soft armor in the middle of the auction.
Defensive armor is extremely scarce, and someone has only raised the price to 150,000 at the beginning.
On the Lan family's side, the girl brought by Lan Dingshan also fell in love with the soft guard.
"Yan'er, if you like your father, I'll help you take a picture," Lan Dingshan said with a loving smile as he looked at his daughter on the side.
The girl smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy."
"Silly girl, you are your father's heart, what are you thankful for" Lan Dingshan touched the girl's head and said.
He then instructed the guards to participate in the bidding.
The girl's heart was full of emotion, but she also knew that the person she cared for the most in her father's eyes was not her, but her eldest brother Lan Madsheng, and after her eldest brother was killed, her father slowly paid attention to her.
"Dad, don't worry, I will help him avenge my eldest brother's revenge," the girl said silently in her heart.
Due to the intervention of the Lan family, the soft guard armor has been auctioned for a high price of 200,000 yuan.
"My young master gave 250,000 gold coins" At this time, the sound of bidding came from the No. 8 box.
At this time, everyone in the auction was even more curious about the mysterious young master in box eight.
Which family's young master actually lost the face of the Li family, and now he is with the Lan family again.
The Lan family box also reported "260,000 gold coins".
Box 8 soon followed suit.
After a while, the high price of 300,000 gold coins was called from the eighth box.
At this time, the Lan family did not increase the price again, and the soft guard armor was owned by the No. 8 box.
In the box of the Lan family, Lan Dingshan was so angry that his face turned blue, "Where did the wild boy come from, he dared to lose the face of our Li and Lan families at the same time, come here, show me the exit of the No. 8 box, and when the auction is over, kill me immediately."
"Yes!" the two guards immediately replied and exited the box.
"Yan'er, don't worry, when the auction is over, the soft armor will still be yours," Lan Dingshan comforted his daughter.
The girl did not look disappointed, but obediently replied, "Thank you, Dad".
Here, Li Yuanhua also called a guard to monitor the No. 8 box in the Li family's box.
At the beginning, Box Eight was a sight to behold.
