The problem may lie in the witch's abilities.
Yorko realized that the eldest son of the Losey family only heard about witches for sale, but ignored the factor of ability. Dangerous and strange abilities will obviously lower the price of witches. After all, no one wants to lose their lives by negligence. . You must know that they are all extraordinary people, whether they are the devil's minions or not, it is always risky to play.
And this witch's ability doesn't sound scary, self-healing not only can't hurt others, but also meets the needs of some wonder hunters, so the price will greatly exceed expectations.
"Sir, are you not making an offer?" No. 76 took the initiative to speak for the first time.
"Uh... wait," Yorko wiped the sweat from his hands. Although Otto said that black letters are money, how much is it worth? One thousand golden dragons, or two thousand? If the limit is exceeded, will "black money" be recognized? What if you let yourself pay for the gap? A series of questions poured into his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe. Not to mention a thousand golden dragons, he couldn't even get a hundred.
At this time, the bidding has gradually stabilized, and the amount of each increase is about ten gold dragons, and the interval is getting slower and slower.
"One thousand two hundred and sixty!"
"Are there any higher?"
Yorko knew that if he kept silent, he would miss the witch.
Forget it, he gritted his teeth. If he exceeded the limit, he would reveal the identity of the ambassador of Greycastle. They would never be rough with a country's ambassador, and then delayed until tomorrow morning for Otto to pay.
"Bid, fifteen hundred golden dragons." He whispered.
"Yes," No. 76 immediately raised his right hand, "One thousand five hundred!"
There was a burst of discussion in the audience.
Raising the price by nearly 300 at a time is obviously inevitable for witches. This bidding method not only shows the attitude of the seller, but also has the meaning of lowering the price of other bidders. Or a group of people at the peak of their power, maintaining relationships is more important than a purely recreational commodity. If it is not something irreplaceable, generally they will not continue to fight.
This is also the bidding method Yorko learned from Denise, and he hopes to use this method to make other bidders retreat.
But his hopes were soon dashed.
"One thousand eight hundred!"
Before the counting time, a new quotation sounded again in the crowd.
Yorko's heart sank violently.
It is also a jumping auction, which means that the other party, like him, is determined to win.
"Sir?" No. 76 reminded.
"Two thousand." Yorko gritted his teeth.
"Two thousand three hundred!" Not long after the guide made the bid, the price continued to rise.
Damn, even for the self-healing ability, the price is outrageous! A top female slave with good looks and skills in the slave market basically won't exceed a hundred golden dragons. Buy a dozen and play whatever you want. You don't have to worry about violating the law of dawn, isn't it more suitable than a witch
And he noticed that the guide who shouted for the other party was a man.
"The guide is determined based on the gender of the bidder, right?" Yorko said bitterly, "So that guy is a woman? She doesn't have the skills I have, so buy a witch to watch!"
"Unless the customer has special needs, it is exactly as you said." No. 76 nodded, "Do you still want to increase the price?"
"Two hundred each time until she gives up!"
Up to now, Yorko has also gone out of his way. He doesn't believe that the other party's background can be compared to the three major families of Chenxi. Anyway, this is what Otto asked for, and if there is trouble, let him fight.
As the two competed to bid, the people around them began to whisper, obviously interested in such a good show.
The amount has soared to 4,000 hours, and the other side has finally misfired.
But that price is already five times more than Otto expected.
"Four thousand once!"
"twice!"
The host's unhurried tone made Yorko extremely worried, and he wished he could rush up to replace the host and knock the little hammer that determines the price.
Fortunately, that nightmarish bidding voice never sounded again.
"Three times, deal!"
Yorko let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the bench, feeling a little wet behind his back.
Four thousand golden dragons... The wealth that he has never been able to touch in his life, and now he has spent all his money for a witch, is this the way the great nobles spend their money? He suddenly felt that the days he spent in the capital were all in vain, and the so-called view of the wind and the moon was probably just a joke in the eyes of the great family and the wealthy merchants.
"Sir, congratulations!" The guide said with a smile, "Commodity No. 10 is yours!"
People around him also cast respectful glances at him. No matter what, being able to throw 4,000 golden dragons for a short-term consumable item is worthy of respect.
In the morning light, wealth is a symbol of status.
Ignoring the anxiety and worry during the bidding process, the experience at the moment was as sweet as honey to Yorko. It was the first time he tasted the feeling of focus. It was not the usual contempt or perfunctory, but the attention and attention of big people.
"Are the next auction items all slaves?" Yorko asked after he had enough aftertaste.
"It's not the final product," replied No. 76, "I heard that it is a very rare treasure, and it took a lot of effort to get the "dark money". "
"Even you don't know?"
"The boss said this is more mysterious," she said helplessly. "He only revealed to us that it was a relic with a magic stone embedded on it."
"So that thing can shine?" Yorko pouted, "You clearly stated that there is no magic stone auction in the list."
"There is more than one kind of magic stone. Although some stones can't emit light, they are the top jewels," No. 76 explained. "For example, the azure star that was auctioned off with 3,400 golden dragons half a year ago is a A magic stone that does not emit light. But when you put it in the dark, you can see that there are countless stars twinkling inside it, which is not comparable to ordinary gems at all."
The price is not something that ordinary gems can have, and Yorko can't help but be a little curious. Anyway, what Otto entrusted has been done, and then it is good to have a long-term experience, and I can boast a few more words in front of Denise in the future.
After finally waiting for the last round of bidding, he was greatly disappointed.
It was actually a long sword.
There are indeed four brightly colored gemstones inlaid on the hilt, but are they selling stones or weapons
The host boasted eloquently, saying that it was found in an ancient ruins in the mountains of despair, and the murals around it showed that the long sword once belonged to an outstanding warrior. The enemy is the devil from hell. Yorko scoffed at this, maybe it would be more practical to dismantle the gems and sell them separately, but the other party's propaganda words on the weapons obviously misunderstood the point.
The starting price of 50,000 golden dragons caused an uproar in the audience. In the end, there was no one bid, which led to this round of bidding ended prematurely.
"What about the witch I bought?" Yorko's mind was no longer on the exhibition. He touched No. 76's thigh and whispered, "Has it been put in my room?"
"Of course, my lord," the latter giggled, "Dark money is all ready for you, please come with me. "
