"Purple diamond stud earrings designed and made by skilled jewelers. They are unique in shape, noble but not exaggerated. They are perfect jewelry for dinner. The starting price is 50 silver coins. Each increase in price cannot be less than 10 silver coins. Bidding is now open."
After dragging the wooden box with one hand and turning it back and forth on the auction table several times, the auctioneer Annie spoke.
"80 silver coins."
"90 silver coins."
"A gold coin."
… …
The auction price kept rising, and finally three gold coins were auctioned before it was finally bought by a bejeweled lady.
Seeing the final transaction price, Gray couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Obviously in terms of practicality, the first lot was more practical, and the second lot had no other practicality at all except for decoration, but the final transaction price was almost one gold coin higher than the former.
Sure enough, in any world, women’s pursuit of beautiful things cannot be measured by “practicality” at all.
"The third item on the lot is the green jade hemostatic ointment exclusively formulated by Ford City's Alva pharmacist. It has the special effect of quickly stopping bleeding within one minute. It also has an excellent recovery effect on various bruises and injuries."
"For the efficacy of Green Jade Hemostatic Ointment, Ford Auction House guarantees it in its own name and it is absolutely authentic. The starting price is 60 silver coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 silver coins. The auction begins now."
"70 silver coins."
"80 silver coins."
…
In the end, the box of green jade hemostatic ointment was sold for three gold coins and ten silver coins.
Gray looked at this box of green jade hemostatic ointment for a long time, and his face couldn't help but look slightly weird.
"Isn't this the scratch medicine that the Fergus family always keeps?"
When Gray fought with soldiers, he would sometimes suffer bruises, abrasions and other injuries. He had used abrasion medicine several times, and this was the medicine.
I just didn't expect that the price of this medicine would be so expensive, and it would eventually be auctioned for three gold coins and ten silver coins.
"I would like to invite you for the fourth auction item, a piece of blood from a ferocious blood beast and water turtle. The starting price is 60 silver coins..."
"Please order five lots, one piece of blood from the ferocious blood beast Salamander. The starting price is 60 silver coins..."
…
The items were auctioned off one after another, but from the beginning to the end, there was no intention to bid in the several private rooms on the second floor.
Because many of the auction items that appear now are just ordinary items from aristocratic families. They are common items of aristocratic families. Noble families have special purchasing channels. With the privileges of aristocratic families, they can buy them at lower prices. There is no need to go out of their way to buy them. Buy at auction.
"Please give me the 37th lot."
A sword with a bronze metal scabbard was placed on the auction table. When the sword was pulled out of the scabbard, Gray noticed that this sword was the same color as the previous Bailian Sword, and it was also the color of white iron. .
But its surface is covered with many strange fish-like patterns, which are densely packed and cover almost the entire sword body.
Seeing such dense fish patterns, Gray had already made a guess in his mind about the technical craftsmanship of this sword. As expected, auctioneer Anne's next words confirmed his guess.
"The sword is 1.4 meters long and 4 centimeters wide. It was made by a top weapon refiner after being refined thousands of times."
"I believe you are all well aware of the value of a Thousand Practice Sword. I won't say much here, little lady. The starting price is five gold coins. Each increase in price must not be less than one gold coin. The bidding starts now."
Auctioneer Anne spoke softly with her red lips.
"Six gold coins."
"Seven gold coins."
…
"15 gold coins."
There were sparse bidding calls on the first floor. The auction price increased one gold coin by one gold coin. When it rose to 15 gold coins, the bidding voices on the first floor became sparse.
15 gold coins is already a large sum of money for an average small family. Although their assets exceed 15 gold coins, most of them are fixed assets. Under the condition of ensuring capital turnover, they can get Paying 15 gold coins is already the limit.
"16 gold coins."
On the second floor, someone finally spoke up, and the private room that spoke out was the private room where Gray and the others were. Yes, it was Viscount Fergus who made the call.
Hearing Viscount Fergus's bid, Gray looked at Viscount Fergus slightly strangely. Although the value of a Thousand Swordsman Sword was extraordinary, it should not be in the eyes of Viscount Fergus. After all, Viscount Fergus had a sword of value. A magical weapon that far surpasses Qian Lianjian.
"17 gold coins."
A man's voice sounded from another private room on the second floor.
Those who can appear on the second floor should at least come from a noble family, but I don’t know which noble family the other party comes from. It may be a noble within the earldom, or it may be from outside the earldom like Gray and others.
"18 gold coins."
As soon as the man's voice fell, there was another bidding call in a private room. Obviously, Qian Lianjian's level was already worthy of the nobles in the private room on the second floor.
"19 gold coins."
"20 gold coins."
…
"25 gold coins."
Next, there was a competition between Viscount Fergus and other private rooms on the second floor. When Viscount Fergus raised the bidding price to 25 gold coins, the voices in the other private rooms fell silent. Obviously, the price of 25 gold coins, It should have met their psychological expectations.
People who can sit in the private room on the second floor will definitely have no problem taking out dozens or hundreds of gold coins. However, any item will always have a psychologically expected price. When it exceeds this psychologically expected price, it will feel that it is not worth it. Naturally, There will be no more bidding.
"It seems that this Thousand-Refined Sword will fall into the hands of Viscount Fergus. I wonder if this sword was bought for Bernal?"
Seeing that no one in the other private rooms was bidding, Gray said to himself.
Viscount Fergus has magic weapons and is not short of weapons. Therefore, this Thousand Sword Sword was not purchased for himself, but for the others, among the Fergus family, Bernal was most likely to have it.
Now Bernal's strength has reached the mid-level blood warrior, and the sword he uses still seems to be the Hundred Practice Sword, and it is indeed time for a new one. As for Gray himself, in the eyes of Viscount Fergus, he is still just a low-level blood warrior. warrior.
However, just when Gray thought that the sword had fallen into the hands of Viscount Fergus, another bidding sound appeared.
"30 gold coins."
The sound also came from a private room on the second floor. Before this, this private room had not participated in the bidding of this Thousand Practice Sword.
"This voice sounds familiar..."
Gray always felt familiar with this sudden quotation. When he recalled it carefully, he suddenly remembered it.
"This is... the voice of Viscount Oliver! Yes, that's right, it's definitely him!"
"This guy didn't participate in the bidding before, and now he suddenly participates in the bidding. I'm afraid the purpose is not for the sword, but to disgust Viscount Fergus..."
Gray turned his head to look at Viscount Fergus, and saw that Viscount Fergus' eyebrows were slightly raised. Apparently he also heard the identity of the bidder.
"35 gold coins."
Viscount Fergus continued to quote, but the next moment he quoted, Viscount Oliver quoted again.
"40 gold coins."
Regarding Viscount Oliver's renewed offer, Viscount Fergus had obviously anticipated it and spoke out again.
"45 gold coins."
"50 gold coins."
and Viscount Oliver again followed the offer.
"55 gold coins."
"60 gold coins."
"65 gold coins."
"70 gold coins."
The smell of gunpowder between the two was very obvious. As soon as one of them finished quoting the price, the other immediately followed, causing a lot of discussion in other private rooms.
"It seems to be Viscount Fergus and Viscount Oliver..."
"It's them, no wonder. I heard that the Fergus family and the Oliver family discovered a territorial war more than two months ago. The relationship between the two is not good."
"I heard that Viscount Oliver suffered a big loss in that battle and was forced by the Fergus family to pay a lot of money."
…
"75 gold coins."
"80 gold coins."
"85 gold coins."
"90 gold coins."
The bidding still continued, but when Viscount Oliver raised the price to 90 gold coins, this time, Viscount Fergus did not continue to bid. He looked at the private room where Viscount Oliver was and said lightly.
"Since Viscount Oliver likes the Qianlian Sword so much, I will give this Thousand Practical Sword to Viscount Oliver."
"Oh, thank you very much. The eldest son just needs such a sword!"
Viscount Oliver said in a sinister tone.
The reason why he quoted the price was naturally to disgust Viscount Fergus. Now that he had achieved his goal, even if he bought a Thousand Practice Sword that was several times more expensive than the market price, in his opinion, it was still worth it.
"That's good. Viscount Oliver has spent so much recently. Do you still have enough gold coins? Don't ask the auction house for credit then!"
Viscount Fergus said with a cold smile.
"Don't worry, you still have the money."
Viscount Oliver said coldly.
