Chapter 144 Auction

The auction venue is very vast and is undoubtedly the largest building in the entire territory. This was also specially added by Ron afterward by architectural experts. It has four floors in total.

The first floor is a fan-shaped staircase, which half surrounds the stage of the venue. The first fifth of the fan-shaped staircase is the green card VIP area, and the rest is the white card VIP area.

The VIP rooms are directly above the first floor. The front of each VIP room is a very large one-way lens floor-to-ceiling window. Only the outside can be seen from the inside to ensure privacy.

It is extremely luxurious and majestic, which has subverted the concept of traditional architectural design. Everyone who came to the auction was amazed by the handiwork of Miracle City.

In terms of services, only VIP rooms are equipped with exclusive service personnel to demonstrate status and identity, and there are only three types of cards that are eligible to enter the VIP room, namely gold, purple and blue.

The owners are all influential people with status, financial resources, and reputation, and anything they do publicly in the kingdom will receive great attention.

Broken down further, gold card holders are on the fourth floor. There are only ten VIP rooms on this floor. The current holders are the royal family and the Gordon family, in rooms '001' and '002' respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Ron's room is also on this floor. It is Room Zero, a room exclusive to the lord.

Purple card holders are on the third floor, and blue card holders are on the second floor. The VIP room layout is relatively smaller, and the number has also doubled.

There are hundreds of blue card VIP rooms alone, but there are not so many people in Carlo Kingdom, and many rooms are empty.

Finally, white card and green card holders can only be in the venue on the first floor, and the layout is also different between the two.

Because green card VIPs can bring three companions, there are four seats in a row, and every four seats are spaced apart to ensure that they will not be disturbed by others.

The white card VIP area has two seats, because only one person can be brought in.

Such divisions do not dissatisfy them, because this is the way the world is and class divisions are the norm.

Even among people of the same class, there will be gaps and a small circle will be created.

For example, Earl Fast, who had just been promoted to the title of earl, was sitting in the white card VIP area, surrounded by prestigious business leaders, or viscounts and earls from wealthy families.

Even the nobles of the kingdom can only sit in the white card VIP area, which shows how valuable this auction is.

The distinguished guests who came to the auction came in early with their families or companions. If you stood on the auction stage and looked at it, there were hundreds of people, but compared to the huge venue, it seemed extremely lonely.

There were more than ten minutes left before the auction started. Waiters at the venue entered the venue one after another and served Miracle City's special delicacies to the distinguished guests.

Including French fries, ice cream, cakes, juice drinks, etc.

These delicacies were provided free of charge and unlimitedly during the auction, which was highly respected by the distinguished guests.

brush.

A beam of light appeared from the top and shone on the stage in the center of the venue. Only then did everyone realize that there was a handsome old man standing under the light.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to come from afar to participate in Miracle City's first auction. I am the auctioneer of this auction, Egbert."

The sound spread throughout the entire venue and fell gently into everyone's ears, making it less noisy.

Egbert in a tuxedo stood on the stage, looking forward gracefully. His position and posture were very special. He did not face anyone exactly, but from the perspective of the audience, Egbert was just right. Said to myself.

"If there is any unnecessary introduction, I won't say much here. The auction starts now, please close the entrance to the venue and let us appreciate the first lot together."

As Egbert finished speaking, all entrances to the entrance were closed to prevent outsiders from disturbing them and to keep out those who missed the time.

soon.

The first lot was brought up and covered with a layer of red cloth. Egbert said a few words to arouse everyone's interest, then pulled down the red cloth, and a heavy armor hung on the shelf came into view. .

"This is."

When Andre saw the armor for the first time, he immediately sat upright and stopped getting the cake.

"The first auction item, the heritage-level armor, was made by Master Hadyi and used a variety of precious ores."

Egbert also introduced on the stage that some people in the venue had already begun to calculate in their hearts how many gold coins they would need to take a photo of this armor.

Fourth floor, room 002.

Liz covered her mouth and looked surprised, saying: "There is a heritage-level armor. This may fetch a sky-high price! Baron Arnold even puts this kind of treasure up for auction. Doesn't he want it himself?"

Viscount Gordon and Michelle looked at each other and were speechless. Ron gave their family three inheritance-level wands.

What is inheritance level?
In Ron's eyes, they are blue-quality items, which are just used to distinguish the number of entry slots.

But in the eyes of combat professionals, heritage-level treasures are a lifelong pursuit. Owning a heritage-level weapon or armor can be said to be invincible at the same level.

Just like the armor in front of you, most professionals can't break through the defense when attacking it with all their strength, so they feel very safe when wearing it.

On the stage of the venue, the demonstration session had already come. Egbert asked the attendants to put on the armor, and then randomly invited a VIP to come on stage to attack, which greatly improved the atmosphere of the scene.

The final result was obvious. Under the attack of the distinguished guest, there were no traces on the armor and the attendants were unharmed.

"The starting bid for this armor is 50 gold coins! Each increase in price will not be less than 1 gold coins. Please use the device in front of you to bid."

There is a disc device in front of each seat, which is used to insert cards. Guests can add prices on the device, and the results will be fed back to Egbert.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bidding price soared to 100 million, and the bidding price was still rising rapidly.

At the same time, Andre, who was in the VIP room No. 002 on the third floor, laughed out loud and said: "Baron Arnold is so grand. He even put the heritage-level armor up for auction, and it was still stuck. Luo Kingdom, isn’t this just like giving it away for free?”

He smiled while adding a bid on the disk, directly raising the bidding price to 500 million gold coins.

Although Andre is the president of the Adventurers Association branch, he does not have a piece of heritage-level equipment.

It's not that the Adventurer's Association couldn't come up with a piece of equipment of this level, but that it wasn't his turn.

Every family that owns inheritance-level equipment has only obtained such a piece after several generations of hard work and accumulation.

On the stage, Egbert said with excitement: "VIP No. 11 bids 500 million gold coins. Is there any higher price? If no one bids more, then this armor belongs to No. 11."

Before he finished speaking, the bidding price changed again, this time reaching 800 million gold coins.

Although Andre was determined to win the heritage-level armor, he still encountered considerable obstacles.

In the end, he spent 2700 million gold coins to buy this heritage-level armor. He didn't feel relieved until the armor was delivered to him.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 11 for winning the battle armor of his choice. Okay, let's move on to the second lot. The heritage-level battle ax is also made by Master Hadyi."

Egbert's words caused an uproar in the audience.

Another inheritance-level item? !
Andre's face froze even more. He is a Tier [-] giant ax heavy fighter. Isn't this inheritance-level battle ax tailor-made for him?
“Gerald, borrow some money and I’ll pay you back later!”

Andre's tone was slightly heavy. The little old man glanced at him, and tremblingly handed over his small treasury. If he didn't give it, he was afraid that the other party would punch him.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 11."

The heritage-level battle ax fell into Andre's hands again. Although he is now burdened with huge debts, he got two pieces of heritage-level equipment. Overall, he made a profit, and a big profit!
The auction house, the lord’s exclusive room.

All the high-ranking officials in the Baronial Palace are here.Rosalind smiled and said: "It seems that the president of the Adventurers Association is quite rich. He bought the first and second items, spending a total of more than 6000 million gold coins. .”

Abel laughed and said, "As the largest organization on the mainland, the Adventurer's Association is naturally rich."

The speaker is unintentional, listening intentionally.

Making money is Rosalind's specialty, but she knows that in the near future, the Adventurer's Association branch will settle in Arnold's territory, and then she can make money from those adventurers!

Thinking of this, Rosalind's eyes flashed with greed, which was very scary.

In front of the crowd, Ron and Melittoia were sitting on soft red chairs, and a small flat table was placed directly in front of them, on which were all kinds of gourmet snacks, which could be reached with a little reach.

Irene sat behind the two of them, staring at the dessert on the table and drooling. Melitoya couldn't look past it and whispered: "Sister Irene, don't worry, eat, it'll be fine."

Irene shook her head and continued to stare with her eyes, feeling like looking at the plum blossoms to quench her thirst.

The live auction was in full swing, and the audience's enthusiasm reached a peak.

Even if they don’t take any pictures, in their minds, they will make a profit if they come!
"The following is the 14th lot of this auction. After this lot is over, we will take a break for an hour and then proceed to the second half of the auction."

Egbert then offered some explanations.

There are a total of 28 auction items in this auction, which are divided into two parts. Some of the items are provided by merchants, not all of them are from the Baronial Palace.

"The 14th lot is a rare treasure from the Balubek Kingdom - Song of Saya."

Egbert took off the red cloth covering it, revealing a beautiful necklace inside.

Some people who knew the story of "Song of Saya" were shocked. There was a tragic story hidden behind this necklace.

This necklace is a trophy obtained by Cliff when he went out on a mission to clear out a 'secret'. Finally, he learned the story behind the necklace through the knowledgeable Joyce.

'Song of Saya' is just a green quality necklace, but it comes with a rather special entry.

Egbert told the story behind Saya's Song to the people present. His voice rose and fell with the rhythm of the story, arousing everyone's emotions.

To put it simply, in the Barubek Kingdom 200 years ago, a traveling merchant presented a necklace to the king, and was rewarded to Princess Saya.

Princess Saya loves to sing. After wearing the necklace, her singing can cause rain and dew, bringing good harvests to the kingdom.

The king had an idea, and Princess Shaye finally died silently while begging for rain again and again.

This necklace survived, but no one could use it to attract rain and dew. Later generations named this necklace "Song of Saya".

After the introduction, Egbert said: "The starting price is 20 gold coins!"

Ron originally thought that the competition for this necklace wouldn't be too big, and it would stop after almost a million dollars.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened during this period.

As the bidding price increased to 90, the businessmen stopped bidding, and in the end only three people participated in the competition.

"VIP No. 1 offered a price of 115 million, is there any higher price?"

"Oh yo yo, VIP No. 11 added another 5 yuan, and the bidding price reached 120 million!"

"VIP No. 12 gave 150 million!"

Egbert performed passionately on the stage, and his posture and tone had reached the peak of a performer. Ron was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to take his next breath.

After all, I am getting old and hosting auctions for several hours without stopping, I really can't bear it.

He said aloud: "Rosalind, you will take over from Egbert in the second half."

After hearing this, Rosalind was overjoyed. She had long wanted to go on stage, and she was trembling with excitement at the thought of selling high-priced goods.

In the blink of an eye, the price of Saya's Song was raised to 270 million. In Ron's opinion, this price far exceeded its own value.

'Saya's Song' comes with a blue entry, but it has activation conditions and requires a girl with a pure voice to sing.

Those who do not know this will never be able to use it to its fullest potential.

The three of them are still competing for the necklace, gradually entering a fierce stage, and they are determined to never give up.

"Gerald, do you really want that Saya song? Is it for research?"

Andre wondered.

Gerald nodded, "I guess that the song of Saya originally came from an ancient ruin, and then it fell into the hands of the royal family of King Barubek. It can change the celestial phenomena and is very valuable for research."

Hearing this, Andre said nothing more, and continued to raise the price.

In the VIP room No. [-] on the fourth floor, Baird's face turned red with anger. He didn't bring many gold coins with him this time. The bidding price was about to reach his bottom line. He glared at the waiter and asked: "How about this prince?" Who are the two people competing?”

"Sorry, Your Highness. The auction house has regulations and the identity of the bidder cannot be revealed."

Baird's face turned cold and he said, "Take me to see Baron Arnold."

As a prince, Baird himself is not stupid, but his behavior is rough, which makes him look stupid in the eyes of outsiders.

'Song of Saya' is a treasure of the Balubek Kingdom and is valued by the royal family. If he can auction it and present it to his father, the Carlo Kingdom will have the capital to negotiate with the Balubek Kingdom. That will be A great achievement.

Since he didn’t have money to take the photo, he had no choice but to go directly to the owner behind it. This was what Baird was thinking at the moment.

No matter what, we must get the Song of Saya!

but.
In the venue, Egbert's voice came.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 12 for taking the photo of 'Song of Saya'. There will be a break for one hour. Please wait a moment. The auction items in the second half will be even more precious."

Egbert aroused everyone's curiosity with a simple sentence. In the first half, two heritage-level items and a rare treasure appeared. Is it even more precious in the second half?
Baird looked ugly. There is an unchanging rule in any auction house. Once the hammer falls, the item belongs to the last bidder and cannot be changed.

It was impossible for him to go to the auction owner again, that would be a slap in the face.

Now we can only focus on the VIP No. 12, as long as we know the identity of the other party
"Hey, why was Teresa filming 'The Song of Saya'? Is she in need of jewelry?"

Rosalind asked in confusion.

 I was almost finished writing it, so I deleted nearly 2000 words and revised the previous ones, just for that sentence, 'Ocean'.

  By the way, this chapter is about clarifying the value of items.

  Although there are many blue-quality items in Ron, they are regarded as public goods. Blue-quality items belong to the 'heritage level' and are not accessible to ordinary adventurers.

  In fact, it is easy to distinguish. The professional level is 1-9, and the item quality is: white-green-blue-purple-gold, which is 1-5. Just multiply the corresponding value by 2.For example, the blue quality is at the third level, multiplied by 3 to get 2, which corresponds to professional 6-5, which belongs to the fifth level and legendary powerhouse.

  Although Andre is a fourth-level professional and a branch president, he is from a civilian background and it is difficult for him to possess inheritance-level equipment.
