clap clap...
Walking to the center of the hall, Mr. Fletcher patted his palm lightly, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall. The bidding in the wizarding market is similar to the auctions of various chambers of commerce, but compared to the formal auctions of chambers of commerce, The bidding in the inner city is undoubtedly much more private; not only is there no so-called auction table, but even the seats are temporarily added; fortunately, the hall of the North family, the leading family in the Bay Area, is large enough, and there are enough sofas and chairs many.
"Good morning, everyone!"
Mr. Fletcher, as the current patriarch of the North family, welcomed everyone who entered the hall and sent greetings; today, the current patriarch of the North family wore a gray-blue dress, which was different When the Wizarding Road opened yesterday, the Nordst family's military-style dresses, at this time, the dresses worn by Mr. Fletcher tend to be more comfortable, as if afternoon tea is a home dress with friends; However, a slight change has been made to the collar and cuffs to give it a formal feel, and it will not appear abrupt when it appears on such an occasion.
"The taste of the Northstead family is really good!"
The little Doug next to Ye Qi, a young man who suffered from the high society dresses in Xialin District, sighed sincerely, and expressed his suggestion: "If the North family enters the upper class society in Xialin District, , will definitely become a unique and popular existence, they really should go!"
"If you know how much Kimpton the Port of Saskatchewan contributes to the Northstead family every year, you will understand why they don't go to Xialin District; compared there. This is the real treasure!" Listen The boy next to him sighed regretfully. Ye Qi couldn't help chuckling, maybe after such a regrettable thing happened. The strength of the Northeast family has been impacted irresistibly, but Ye Qi has no doubts about the economic ability of the Northeast family; and under such an economic foundation, the rapid recovery to the strength of the peak period, Some delusions, but it is very easy to form an objective combat power.
For example: magic props!
Unlike sacred artifacts, which require resonance and apostle's talent, magic props only need a person who knows the trick. It can be used easily; and it is precisely because of this ease that the magic props that are far inferior to the sacred weapon can have their own living space, and are sought after by most people. There are only a small number of people, and most of them are ordinary people; and if you want to gain the ability to compete with the former, magic props are an inevitable choice.
It is not unheard of for ordinary people who have been trained to use magic props to defeat the holder of the holy vessel and the apostles; in fact, such things are still slightly common; it's just that. It all happened at a relatively low level, and the winning side also suffered heavy losses after every magic item was manufactured. The number of uses has already been determined; once the number is used up, it is just a slightly better existence than ordinary items.
And if you want to continue using this magic item, you must find a wizard who is proficient in alchemy to complete the 'charging', and you also need to find the corresponding materials to have a basis for charging. With its own power, the status of magic props is far inferior to that of holy artifacts.
Of course, the feature that it can be equipped on a large scale is also something that sacred weapons do not have.
And the reason why the current patriarch of the Northstead family would spend a lot of money to buy the magic props that Ye Qi handed over to Master Standen was undoubtedly to use the characteristics of the magic props to make the Northstead family obtain enough in a short period of time. The strength of 'self-protection'; Ye Qi is well aware of this, and is also happy to see it.
Apart from the fact that the two parties are allies and are outside Landingburg, more importantly, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the Northstead family and the Holy See. Ye Qi is very sure that if there is a chance that the Holy See will collapse, Fletcher will Old man, the current head of the Nord family will never be soft-hearted.
Therefore, Ye Qi is willing to help such an ally.
"The tax revenue and self-generated benefits of the Port of Saas..."
Of course, the little Doug who came from a better background would not be ignorant of what the port of Saskatchewan represents. Therefore, after just talking a little bit, he understood the gap. A place that is repressed and restricted.
"The Port of Sass also belongs to the Northstead family?"
The young man from Qianmao District obviously didn't know the news, and the expression on his face was very surprised. Obviously, according to this young man's thinking, the Bay Area should be a territory under the ruler of the Supreme Government.
"Of course, it's not just the Port of Saskatchewan, but also Landingburg and Fart..."
Little Doug looked at his friend who had doubts, and immediately explained to him in a low voice; for such an explanation, both Ye Qi, the frail demon hunter next to him, and the enthusiastic person knew quite well; therefore, the three of them His gaze returned to Mr. Fletcher, who was still presiding over the 'opening ceremony' in the inner city.
"We had some unhappiness here yesterday. Although it has been brought under control, we still wish those innocent people who have been implicated to rest in peace!" As he said, Mr. Fletcher lowered his head slightly, and the people present thought of The corpses that had been carried back to the lawn before could not help but sigh and bow their heads silently; while the priests from the Holy See uttered bursts of prayer.
Of course, the specific content and authenticity of it are beyond our ability to guess.
After all, when Mr. Fletcher raised his head again, the prayers stopped very uniformly, as if he had been trained countless times.
"The dead are gone, the living will live on!"
With this sentence, as the words to speak again after raising his head, Mr. Fletcher took a deep breath and continued: "So, we started the bidding in the inner market ahead of time. And. After Stan and I After discussion with Master Deng, 1% of the proceeds from this auction will be used as compensation for those unfortunates; after all, they also have family members!"
If the previous words were not painful or itchy, then in the end it is undoubtedly the substance; facing such a substance, no matter what they think in their hearts, all the people present expressed their approval. One percent of the bidding in the internal market may not seem like much, but anyone who knows the base of the transaction amount in the internal market. Everyone will understand what kind of a sum of money this is, which is completely huge for ordinary people.
Although the status and worth of those who can enter the inner city are enough to ignore such figures, this does not prevent some people from being dissatisfied with this practice; for example, the Bishop of Vallejo frowned subconsciously. For the people of the world, such 'charity' should be handed over to them, and then sent to those unfortunate or even more unfortunate people in the name of 'God'.
"The brilliance of God is infinite! Such things should be implemented after we discuss together!"
Bishop Vallejo looked at Moretti and Jacob who were sitting on his left. He said in a low voice that as representatives of the supreme government, the Holy See and the demon hunters, these three sat together. It is located on the left hand side of Mr. Fletcher; and because the nominal ruler of the current Lorant is the highest government, Moretti, who represents the highest government, naturally sits in the middle, representing the Holy See and the witch hunt. The human Vallejo and Jacob sat on both sides of Moretti.
Of course, such an arrangement also has reasons for worrying that the Holy See and the demon hunters will escalate due to conflicts between each other.
"The secret city of wizards has always been in charge of the wizards themselves, we are only responsible for supervision!"
Jacob said indifferently that he wanted to agree with the views of the people in the Holy See, except for those few truly admirable people, it was obviously impossible for others; what's more, such a thing, in Jacob It seems to be a good thing at all; and in such a good thing, Vallejo still has to find fault with faults, which is simply ridiculous; therefore, after finishing speaking, Jacob shifted his eyes to other things. place.
As the representative of the highest government, Moretti, who was sitting between the two, did not speak at all, but blocked them in front of them with a smiling expression.
"snort!"
Seeing the attitudes of the two, Vallejo snorted coldly, and stopped talking. According to the regulations in the "Final Armistice Agreement", if you want to refute something done by the wizard, you must ask the Supreme Government, the Holy See, and the witcher. But now, it is only him alone, obviously it cannot be accomplished; moreover, the other party's obvious attitude also makes Bishop Vallejo understand very well that the other party agrees from the bottom of his heart.
Stupid sinner!
With this in mind, Bishop Vallejo closed his eyes straight away, and began to recite "God Said" silently in his heart.
What happened on my left, of course, cannot be hidden from the old man Fletcher. After the old man sneered at the Holy See's actions a few times in his heart, he continued on the surface calmly: "And in order to be able to comfort you as soon as possible. The souls of these unfortunates, let's get the first item to bid now!"
Two people from the Northeast family carried a table covered in black velvet to the middle of the hall. Looking at the protrusion that was obviously higher than the table, everyone present knew that this was the first merchandise; immediately, all the people held their breaths and looked at the item covered by black velvet
"This was discovered by a team of wizards in an ogre's cave when they were adventuring deep in the sea forest..."
Following the opening remarks, Mr. Fletcher lifted the black velvet straight away, and a small round shield with a diameter of about two feet that could be held by one arm appeared in everyone's sight. Mr. Fletcher pointed Looking at the small round shield, he continued to introduce: "Although its size is not large, its firmness has been proved by the ogre's fist and stick; if its previous owner was not too thin and unable to If it can be used to its full potential, I am afraid that the heads of that group of ogres have already become his spoils of war!"
"Of course, in addition to its own strength, it also has enough advantages in terms of resistance to flames and lightning; and..." After speaking, Mr. Fletcher flipped the small buckler, and put the gun on his back. After showing it to everyone, he pointed to one of the grooves and said: "There is an ingenious design here. Hit the refined kerosene. Press here. The whole shield will shoot out flames for you Burn the enemy in front of you! And if you are a person who is good at shield strikes, then facing an enemy, if you have this small round shield while striking with your shield, you can undoubtedly give him a surprise!"
"Now start with 30 low-standard magic crystals, bid! Each bid must not be less than five low-standard magic crystals!" Mr. Fletcher. Announce the start with a smile!
"Thirty-five!"
"Forty!"
"Forty-five!"
…
After Mr. Fletcher announced the start, many people present began to offer consecutive quotations, which quickly doubled from the low price of 30 low-standard magic crystals. Ye Qi was not impressed by this. Unexpectedly; Ye Qi, who has participated in several black market auctions, is very clear about some of the seller's tactics; in order to have a warm start, the first item, although it may not be the top one among all the items It exists, but it will undoubtedly be the kind of small boutique that is worth the money.
Although the bidding in the inner market of the Wizarding Secret City is many times higher than that of the black market auction, the application of this method is the same as that of a businessman. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, only effective and ineffective.
"How can it rise so fast!"
Tony who saved the life of a frail witcher. Sitting half-reliant in a wheelchair, listening to the quotations from the people around him, he couldn't help yelling in a low voice that he was the second quotation before; obviously, this enthusiastic person liked this shield very much; but, Tony looked very frustrated when he heard that the price had exceeded sixty low-standard magic crystals and was heading for seventy or even higher.
"The people sitting here are all existences with both status and value. Of course, the rise is fast! And, if you don't rely on me, I will consider bringing you back to the side hall!" The frail demon hunter looked at His savior, who was so excited that he almost jumped up again, couldn't help reminding the other party that such an agreement appeared after the frail demon hunter found this special wheelchair before arriving at the bidding hall in the inner city.
"Okay, okay!"
Tony nodded again and again, but at the next moment, as his eyes scanned, he became excited again; once again, Tony, who was in the heyday of the wheelchair, was pushed hard by the frail witcher, and undoubtedly surpassed the frail hunter. The existence of the devil, but Tony, who is wrapped like a mummy at this moment, is obviously not an opponent of a weak demon hunter who is fine except for one hand that cannot move.
Seeing the little farce between the two of them, Ye Qi couldn't help but laugh, and then he turned his attention to the bidding again.
At the transaction price of eighty-five low-level magic crystals, the small round shield was put into the arms of a smiling businessman; and after the money was cleared on the spot, the second bidding item was brought up; And this time the host has also become Regus who was in charge of the Northstead family yesterday.
Mr. Fletcher smiled and gestured to the surroundings, then sat down next to Jacob, and next to him were Standen and Weston, two master wizards. Obviously, With Mr. Fletcher's identity and status, it is impossible to be an 'auction host', but just because of the beginning, and yesterday's incident, a warm start was needed, so he had no choice but to make a guest appearance for it. .
However, judging from the transaction price of the eighty-five standard magic crystals, Mr. Fletcher is undoubtedly a qualified and excellent "auction host". Waiting for the standard magic crystal to reach the sky; and when Ye Qi saw the businessman smiling flatteringly at Mr. Fletcher, he felt a sense of wonder in his heart.
This is to please the North family!
Perhaps compared to the highest government, the Holy See, and the demon hunters, the current Nord family is nothing, but to others, it is still a colossus!
With this exclamation, Ye Qi set his eyes on the next bidding item. Compared with the final transaction price of the first item, the transaction price of the second item was a little lower, but it still reached ideal price; and this situation has been maintained until the fifth piece
The fifth bidding item is a ring that can release fireballs and lightning beams. Although each item can only be released five times, the lowest price of its appearance is 80 low-level standard magic crystals, almost reaching the first place. The transaction price of each item; and with the appearance of this ring, the climax of the bidding in the inner city of the wizarding city has really begun, especially when it comes to the tenth item, the starting price is 200 low standard magic crystals, one After the standard high-grade magic crystal is made at a low price, people who come to the inner city of the wizarding city for the first time understand what it means to be rich.
Listening to the high and low standard magic crystals casually reported in his ear, including Little Doug, a young man from a wealthy background, everyone around Ye Qi changed color, especially Tony, who was wrapped like a mummy The ordinary existence couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Alchemy, alchemy, it's really alchemy! Gold, gold...you must learn..."
"Everyone, now we welcome the penultimate bidding item for our bidding today!"
Regus signaled the people around him to lift off the black velvet that had been covering it, and then said with a smile, "This is a holy artifact!"
Wow!
In an instant, the whole hall became noisy.
