"Uh... Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Lan, the special appraiser of Alchemy in Maz City. I think you have heard about the next sixteenth auction item."
The young alchemist who was dressed slightly shabby didn't seem to be suitable for speaking under the spotlight, and his whole body was filled with cramps and tension.
But all this does not affect the expectations of the guests.
Because after the young man spoke, he also gently lifted off the silk and satin covering the objects.
And this object under the silk and satin is really the core of everyone's attention.
I saw that it was an exquisite and complicated device. On the main body of the device, gears were strewn across the board, and they were connected to each other by a fine drive shaft.
And on one side of the main body of the instrument, there is a round cap key area made of copper, which is very similar to the keyboard used for typing in modern times.
What shocked Su Mu even more was that among the various ingenuities of this item, there were actually densely engraved runes that seemed to be used for driving.
These rune texts themselves are also impressively... Chinese characters!
…
But just as Su Mu was extremely shocked, the young alchemist named Jiang Lan also spoke again:
"This magical alchemy device is actually a magic letter transceiver, and according to the inscription on the alchemy device, its author is also a well-known alchemist Nicolas Lemay."
"And after my own inspection, the magic circuit of this thing is completely unobstructed, and the ingenious structure is also undamaged, and it can still send letters to other receiving devices within a hundred miles."
"Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of the holder, the trade agreement will continue to bid for this item at a starting price of 2,700 gold coins in the last three days."
Obviously, for the high price of the magical telegraphing device, even the trade covenant itself did not expect it to be photographed immediately.
But today, it is undoubtedly not the first time this item has appeared, and the many guests gathered here almost all come for this.
Sure enough, just after Jiang Lan's words fell.
Someone in the auction stand immediately got up and held up the hand that represents the bid, expressing their purchases in a hurry.
But it is clear that in such a world where communication is not well developed, devices that can directly and remotely exchange intelligence will inevitably be eager for by major families and consortia.
So after the first respondent bid, before the staff even came to start counting, there was already a second arm raised high:
"Two thousand seven hundred and fifty gold coins."
And with the appearance of the first bidder, the auction room immediately boiled.
The voices of constant price increase sounded one after another:
"Two thousand eight hundred gold coins."
"Two thousand eight hundred and fifty."
"Two thousand and nine hundred."
However, as prices are gradually rising, everyone is also testing each other a little bit.
Someone in the private room on the second floor finally participated in the bidding.
Moreover, once the person bids, he does not leave room for competition at all, and directly makes the atmosphere in the field solidify with an inevitable aura:
"My master bid... 4,000 gold coins."
…
There is no doubt that although everyone wants to have the magic transmitter, in fact, everyone has an expected gold coin limit.
Otherwise, even if you take this thing, it will eventually be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, when the bid of the person on the second floor has clearly exceeded the psychological limit of the crowd, it is obvious that no one will continue to increase the price.
Naturally, this alchemy newspaper device was successfully included in the bag by the person on the second floor.
However, with today's highlight, this magic transmitter was successfully auctioned.
Jiang Lan, the alchemist appraiser standing on the auction stage, suddenly became more excited than before, and even continued to say incoherently:
"Next, it's an auction item I provided myself, uh... that is the seventeenth auction item in this field. This auction item is still an alchemy instrument, and it is actually not on the auction list today. , I just made it out today, so I joined the auction."
Following Jiang Lan's introduction without a follow-up, the female auctioneer who had just stepped aside again pushed up today's last item.
I saw that what was presented in front of everyone at this moment was a cabinet of poor workmanship.
The top of the cabinet is composed of a round turntable, a metal pole engraved with runes, and a flower-shaped horn.
And as the instrument was launched, Jiang Lan couldn't wait to put a black disc on the round turntable on the top of the cabinet.
Then the top of the metal rod was gently pressed against the disc.
After seeing all this, Su Mu's eyes widened.
Compared with the previous magic transmitter with complicated structure and no principle, isn't this familiar and clear thing in front of you a so-called phonograph
Sure enough, as Jiang Lan finished other preparations, he poured a small bottle of liquid Qi into the energy tank.
There was a sound from the alchemy equipment in front of him.
It's just that the voice itself is a monologue that Jiang Lan has recorded indiscriminately.
However, even so, the ability of this alchemy tool was fully demonstrated at this time.
As for Jiang Lan himself, at this moment, he confidently continued to announce:
"This is an unprecedented gold alchemy. I call it a sound recording and reproducing device. As for the prototype of this first prototype, I will sell it today at a starting price of three hundred gold coins. "
…
However, contrary to the popularity of the magic transmitter, facing Jiang Lan's self-confident item, the audience was silent like death, and there was no intention to shoot it.
Even after a long time, someone finally raised his hand.
And this person's hand also did not hold the card that should be slapped, obviously only a few doubts arose:
"So, how does your device perform sound retention?"
Jiang Lan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then answered truthfully:
"The sound is explained in magic. It is actually a kind of vibration in the air, and this kind of vibration can be recorded in the magic medium as long as it is an alchemist."
But Jiang Lan's answer obviously made the other party more speechless, and even slightly sarcastically replied:
"So, as long as the user is not an alchemist, we can't actually keep any voice, we can only listen to your boring monologue just now?"
Obviously, Jiang Lan didn't think deeply about this issue at all.
At this moment, under the other's persecution, Jiang Lan was even more flustered subconsciously, and even arrogantly defended:
"But... it's actually not difficult to become an alchemist. You only need to figure out the logic of magic and combine them with the principles of ingenuity, and you can already make qualified alchemy items.
However, the more Jiang Lan argued so strongly, the people in the auction room also laughed unscrupulously.
There is no doubt that everyone is laughing at Jiang Lan's whimsical.
After all, most people in this world don't even have the ability to interpret magic, so where can they be so casual, really make so-called alchemy items.
Unless magic is not even a threshold for this person.
However, at this moment, even Jiang Lan, who was arguing, could never think of it. He said that he could easily become an alchemist, but in the auction room before him, there was exactly that one.
It was even because of Jiang Lan's strong argument that this person instantly saw... countless possibilities for making money!
