But it was Su Mu, who had just escaped from a group of local tyrants, and he hadn't even had time to leave from the branch office of the college.
An unexpected figure suddenly entered Su Mu's eyes.
Han Jun... He actually managed to pass through the wilderness, and even came to Maz City in the same way.
Fortunately, Su Mu was wearing a dark burqa and hood at this moment. Han Jun obviously did not notice Su Mu's identity and still moved forward unsuspectingly.
Therefore, Su Mu didn't hesitate at all, and directly followed Han Jun's footsteps quietly.
And as Su Mu approached Han Jun a little bit, Su Mu discovered an even more astonishing message as he approached:
I saw that Han Jun was also holding an application for the academy's assessment, but the application itself was slightly different from what Su Mu had filled out.
He looked up and said: "The Affiliated Knights Branch of the Northern Magic Academy, application for assessment."
It seems that this academy, which is famous for magic, can also train warriors to become Chinese knights, and Han Jun's purpose in coming to Maz City is precisely to enter this branch.
However, it was Su Mu who had just discovered this coincidence, and he had not even had time to continue thinking about it.
At this time, Han Jun seemed to have completed all the registration procedures, and he had already started to walk outside the college branch office.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly continued to walk in silent steps.
Seeing that after leaving the branch office of the college, Han Jun didn't hesitate at all. He directly passed by the fountain tower in the center of the square and walked to another building in the square.
And the conspicuous sign on the roof of that building is also impressively:
A huge scale carved out of marble.
There is no doubt that this is where the Trade Covenant Branch is located in Maz City.
And compared to the simple shops in the town of Baru, the trade covenant set up. In a trade agreement branch of this size, in addition to the regular shops, there are obviously more lucrative projects... auction houses!
…
Sure enough, when Han Jun came to the gate of the trade covenant, he had no plans to go to the shop area at all.
Instead, after directly paying a few silver coins to the receptionist, the waiter led him to the next auction site that was about to open.
Su Mu saw this and naturally followed up again after paying the fee.
I saw that the real place of the auction house was actually a trapezoidally arranged hall. There is an auction table several meters square in front of the hall, and the opposite side of the auction table is full of rows of soft leather seats.
And Su Mu also noticed that on the second floor of this hall, there are also some independent compartments, which can obviously be seen from a condescending position of the auction platform.
Even these compartments themselves are all slightly covered with fine sand, making it impossible for others to see the situation in them.
But compared to these, Su Mu is of course more concerned about Han Jun himself.
After Han Jun entered the auction hall, there were already a lot of guests sitting in the hall, and Han Jun also randomly found a side position to sit down.
Naturally, Su Mu was calm, and slowly sat in a certain position behind Han Jun.
And with the two people seated, the auction finally officially started.
Then beams of light from the chimney were reflected by the metal lampshade, and they were gathered to one place in an instant. The auction table, which will be small in a short time, can be described as delicately photographed.
And as the rays of light gathered, an elegantly dressed woman also slowly stood on the auction stage.
"Guests, there are a total of 17 items for sale in the auction today. Three shouts that no one bids higher are counted as a deal. The unsuccessful items will be returned to the original owner after deducting the cost."
I don't know if it is because of magic or the ingenious structure of the house, the woman's voice is so clear that it reaches everyone's ears.
And after the woman finished talking about the rules, she did not leave her with water.
The first auction item was taken out directly and clearly displayed on the booth:
I saw that it was a jet black dagger, the blade of which was no more than half a foot long, and the blade was extremely thin, giving it a slender and ghostly beauty.
And what Su Mu thought of for the first time after seeing this thing was obviously the same slender and pitch-black sharp blade he had now.
Both of them seem to have the same beauty in terms of material or manufacturing process.
"This knife must not need to be introduced by me. The blade is made of black steel and supplemented by the temperature-variable forging method most suitable for black steel. The toughness and sharpness are maintained at a very high level. The only disadvantage is that it is too short. It is not suitable for outdoor fighting, so it is comprehensively assessed as the third grade medium, and the starting price is 30 gold coins."
As the voice of the female auctioneer fell, there were only a few sounds in the auction booth, which was obviously just a random price response on a whim.
Obviously, this kind of weapon that is not suitable for combat has no market in this world.
In the end, this dagger managed to fall into the pocket of a rich man for only thirty-five gold coins.
However, through the auction of the dagger, Su Mu was also very coincidental to determine that his dark sword, which was more suitable for combat, would undoubtedly be a third-class weapon.
As for the price, at least it will be more than a hundred gold coins.
In this way, Su Mu was already at ease for the most part.
After all, even if Su Mu would really not get forty gold coins in the next three days.
But only with this pitch-black sharp blade, Su Mu will surely be able to get his wish and participate in the assessment of the Magic Academy.
With the successful sale of this dagger, the female auctioneer naturally did not procrastinate, and immediately took out the next auction items.
However, the latter things are not surprising.
It is nothing more than rare objects such as diamonds and agate, or works of art made of pearl and ivory, which are not much different from the world that Su Mu once lived.
The only thing that allowed Su Mu to look slightly at his side was a hand-helmeted sword that was known as the fourth-ranked sword.
But the starting price of that thing is already very shocking in the hundreds of gold coins.
So Su Mu didn't bother to pay attention anymore, this kind of treasure that he absolutely couldn't afford to buy, on the contrary, he was more serious... Observing Han Jun's current dynamics.
…
At this moment, at least half an hour has passed since Su Mu followed Han Jun into this room. Even for a total of 17 auction items, 15 of them have already been auctioned.
But until this time, Han Jun still didn't say anything.
It is completely impossible for people to guess, what purpose he made a special trip here.
And Su Mu also noticed that although there were at least dozens of people participating in this auction. But in the fifteen auctions just now, at most less than one-fifth have participated in the bidding.
It seems that most people are still waiting for a certain auction item that has not yet appeared.
And it was at this moment, while Su Mu was full of doubts.
When the auction of the fifteenth item was completed, the female auctioneer silently stepped aside. Instead, a young man with a slightly shabby dress gently pushed something onto the auction stand.
And with the appearance of young people, Su Mu also clearly felt that most of the people in the room who were always silent had adjusted their sitting postures at this moment, staring intently at the things he pushed.
As for Han Jun, who was in front of Su Mu, he was even more unabashedly watching nervously from the auction booth.
It seems extremely satisfied with everyone's expectations of this thing.
It was only at this moment that a message finally burst in Su Mu's mind:
Where did Han Jun come to participate in the auction? He basically... He wants to completely turn the item he used to protect his life into real wealth!
