Lord of War

  Magic weapons can be divided into three grades: bronze, silver, and gold according to their strength. And according to the magic power of each grade, it can be subdivided into five levels: minor effect, weak effect, medium effect, strong effect, and special effect. If it is said that only the demonized equipment level, there will be a total of fifteen levels, and the higher the level, the greater its power.

   But demonized equipment, but not everyone can forge it.

  Only those special craftsmen known as alchemists can forge equipment of this level. Among them, the differences in the level of forging skills and the use of materials have also led to the differences in the attainments of these alchemists.

  Like Sean, as long as he is given enough materials, it is no problem to forge gold-level magic equipment with his current skills. The minimum guarantee can also reach medium-efficiency gold.

  For example, the Flame Gun Shattered Kong used by Rena and the Flame Lion Fang used by Alfred are both medium-efficiency gold-grade equipment.

  Of course, if he wants to increase his power again, Sean is not without a choice. It's just that he still can't perfectly control the consumption of materials in this area, so it is likely to lead to waste of materials, so that it is not worth the loss. After all, Sean's current family is not wealthy enough that he can waste and consume these materials at will.

  However, these are based on the "golden grade" standard as a prerequisite.

  If it is based on the "bronze grade", Sean can forge it any way he wants. With his current skills, it is not a problem to make two pieces a day. If he is lucky, he can even forge three pieces. But if it is a silver level. Then only one piece can be produced in about a week; as for the higher-level gold grade, it is already a very alarming rate to be able to produce one piece within one month.

  Before that, Sean had always used the prices in the game to measure the standard of the world.

  Until this moment. When he saw that this very common enchanted short knife in Xiao En's eyes could actually be sold at a sky-high price of 80,000, Xiao En realized that he did not know the prices of the world that much. This also allows Sean to finally understand why so many people before seeing the magic weapons in the hands of Rena and Alfred, even if the opponents are already very powerful, they will show that kind of eagerness and envy. .

  That's because magic equipment is definitely a rare item in this world!

  According to what Shaun now understands, there is only one alchemist in the entire Kingdom of Lane, but what grade of enchanted equipment can he make? Sean is not clear. The only information obtained from Asuna is that the alchemy blacksmith only accepts four orders per year, except for the materials that need to be provided by the customer. The handling fee is usually no less than 50,000 pan-continental gold coins.

   Using this as a speculation point, Sean felt that the level of this alchemist was probably bronze. If it is performed at a super level, it may also be a powerful bronze magic equipment. The normal level is estimated to be between weak and medium. Only in this way. Only then can I explain why this medium-effect bronze short knife can be sold at an amazingly high price of 80,000. Because judging by the level of the Kingdom of Lane, it was almost the price at which the alchemy blacksmith was asked to sell it.

   But even so, there are still many nobles in the Lane Kingdom rushing to fight for such a place.

  Shaun curled his lips in disdain, he decided to go back and get a magical equipment to sell.

  At this time when Sean was thinking about what kind of magic equipment to make, the auction was still in full swing. Perhaps because of the auspicious opening, the next few auction items were sold at a good price, although it was not an amazing price. But compared to normal prices, it is still slightly profitable, at least in Sean's eyes, they are all stupid.

"The next auction item. It is a relatively rare material." At this time, standing on the booth is a new auctioneer. The difference from the previous auctioneers is that this auctioneer is still pretty old. Young, probably twenty-six or seven-year-old, but he has an aura that is unmatched by the previous auctioneers. "The details of this material are not clear to our Chamber of Commerce. The auctioneer spoke very vaguely.... For such auction items, our Chamber of Commerce Alliance generally would not take over, but the sender said a word, so we decided to give it a try."

  In general auctions, only one or two auctioneers are prepared. They will use their eloquence to incite the atmosphere of the entire auction house, and even prepare some support to raise the price when necessary. Different chambers of commerce or auctions have different rules for sending auctions. The normal market price situation is that 10% of the transaction price of each auction item must be paid as the income of the auction party. Of course there are some Smaller chambers of commerce will certainly charge lower fees in this regard, so as to attract others to send auctions.

  However, auctions officially held by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are different.

  Usually they will arrange a dozen or more auctioneers, each of whom will draw lots to draw the number of the auction items, and be responsible for the related auctions of these auction items. And their remuneration fee is 10% of the auction price. In addition, if this auction item is sent for auction and successfully auctioned off, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will charge an additional 10% fee, which is equivalent to saying If the bidder succeeds in auctioning things out, they must pay 20% of the salary to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

  The auctioneer standing on the booth at this moment has made it very clear that this auction item is sent for auction, and also emphasized some special features of this auction item. It stands to reason that this is a taboo in the auction, but the reason why the Chamber of Commerce Alliance still allows so many people to pay 20% of the salary to send the auction, and that is because the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has almost no possibility of passing the auction. —As for those participating in the auction, the reason why they dare to spend money is also because the Chamber of Commerce has a high degree of integrity, at least they will not get fake or fake products.

  It's just that these things are not important to Sean.

  What really matters is. The auction item that caught Sean's eyes now.

  This is an irregular crystal.

  The crystals are as black as ink, and there are some dust-like substances on them, which look like they have fallen into sugar water and then rolled in mud or other places. The first impression is that it is dirty. In addition, there are many tiny cracks on the surface of the crystal, which directly destroys the overall value of the crystal—if it weren’t for these cracks, then even if the crystal looks dirty, at least it’s a little bit dirty. It's worth some money.

   "Why, are you interested in that stuff?" Asuna asked suddenly.

   "If it is really smoky quartz fluorite..." Sean nodded, "Then I'm really interested."

   "Oh?" Asuna raised her brows. Then he stared at the dirty-looking stone seriously.

"What good is a stone like this?" Kos said with some confusion, "It doesn't look very good, if you like obsidian. I will give you some back. On my territory, obsidian and the like There are a lot of crystals."

   "Puff." Asuna suddenly laughed when she heard Kos's words. She glanced at Sean who was almost entirely focused on the spar. Then said. "Things that can be studied so carefully by our Lord Sean, the value will definitely not be cheap."

   "No matter how valuable it is, it will be the starting price of 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins." Kos frowned. He didn't know the value of the broken stone.

"Twenty to thirty thousand?" Sean raised his eyebrows. "If even the people in the Chamber of Commerce can't see the value of this thing, but it can be said to be auctioned by the sender, then it proves that the sender I know the value of this thing. In this way, the value will never be low."

  "This special material is used to forge magic equipment..."

  The auctioneer just said his words. There was already a little rustling conversation that became silent instantly, but after a few seconds of silence. Even if these private rooms have excellent sound insulation capabilities, they still can't stop the tsunami-like sound.

  "What level of magic equipment can this material be used for?"

  "What is the specific function of this material?"

  "How many magical equipment can this material provide?"

  "This material..."

  The sound of questions one after another suddenly flooded the auctioneer on the booth.

After these sounds are transmitted, they have undergone some voice change processing in the private room, but in fact, if you listen carefully, Asuna and Kos can still distinguish a few of the nobles who have had more in-depth exchanges. Of course these Now the nobles are all standing on the opposite side of Xiao En and others without any surprise.

   Facing the aggressiveness of so many nobles, the auctioneer still had a calm expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air, and the noisy noise soon became quiet. After the whole scene calmed down, the auctioneer said, "The sender didn't make it clear about the special features of this material, so in fact, we don't know what's going on. But he said that if you are an alchemist, you can definitely recognize the value of this material. It can be said that this thing is a material prepared for the alchemist."

  This kind of statement is exactly the same as if it were there or not, so soon these nobles began to shout again in a mess.

But this time, the auctioneer had no plan to reply. He picked up the auction mallet and knocked it three times on the booth before saying in a deep voice, "Smoky quartz fluorite, the starting price is 50,000 yuan, each time The price increase is not less than five thousand.... The bidding starts now."

"It's worthy of being one of the ace auctioneers of the Chamber of Commerce, and only with this kind of tolerance can these nobles." Asuna narrowed her eyes, and then smiled, "But I didn't expect this time from the Chamber of Commerce. Actually letting Jero come out, it seems that this auction is very important."

Sean doesn’t know who Jero is, but he knows very well that this three-day auction contains the snag of the tree of life, so he asked an ace auctioneer to attend such an auction. It is a very normal thing. However, for people who don't know the situation like Asuna, the appearance of Jero naturally means a different meaning. Many Lane nobles present might think that this is a move by the Chamber of Commerce to please the Kingdom of Lane.

   "Wait a minute." When Jero decided to start the auction. But someone still interrupted him.

   "This gentleman, do you have any questions?" Although Jero still had a smile on his face, Sean was keenly aware that at this moment there was an extremely secretive and weak aura floating in his body. It was just that he was pressed down again soon.

  The strong!

  This unexpected discovery made Xiao En stunned for a moment. This kind of aura definitely belongs to the golden powerhouse.

  He did not expect that this auctioneer Jero was actually a gold-level powerhouse! It's just that it's the upper level gold or the lower level gold, which is a bit uncertain, after all, his breath is too weak, if it hadn't been for the moment he showed dissatisfaction. Sean couldn't detect it either.

  However, it was obviously not only Sean that could be noticed, but even Asuna and Kos looked serious.

  "I just want to know. What if I take this fluorite and find it is a fake and shoddy product, what should I do if I lose it?"

   "That is indeed smoky quartz fluorite." Before Jero could speak, someone interrupted the nobleman's voice. "This material can indeed be used to make enchanted equipment. Even if other materials are slightly inferior, it is not a problem to make a silver-level enchanted equipment. ... The starting price of 50,000 yuan is low."

  Hearing this person's words, Sean suddenly noticed that the entire auction house seemed to be plunged into a fiery atmosphere.

   However, not everyone will fall into enthusiasm because of the phrase "Silver Grade Demonized Equipment", and there are still many people who remain calm. Although they didn't think that people in the Chamber of Commerce would need someone to act as a trustee, but the cautious attitude of the nobles still made it difficult for them to trust anyone. At this time, some people still raised some new questions. The most of them are asking about the identity of the person who spoke just now.

   "Huh." Hear so many aggressive questions from nobles. This person is not as polite as Jero. After a cold snort, he said in a deep voice, "I am Arnom."

  Hearing this, there was a sound of inhaling air-conditioning immediately.

  Only Sean was unclear: "Anom? Who? Is it great?"

"The alchemy blacksmith from Darbion." Asuna's voice was also a little excited, "I almost forgot about it! At the beginning, Darbion was slightly stronger than Ryan in terms of national strength, purely because of Dabion. There are two alchemists in Bion, one of them is the royal alchemist of the military, and the other is this Arnoma.... He is more famous than the other, after all, he has the skill of forging. There, and compared to our Lane’s alchemy blacksmith, it is naturally much more powerful.... When the national war broke out, the alchemy blacksmith was no longer found. I didn’t expect to be brought back to the king’s capital secretly. In the circumstances, this alchemist must have officially joined Ryan."

   "Awesome?" Sean was a little curious, "How amazing is it?"

"It is said that he has produced more than ten silver-level demonized equipment." Asuna thought for a while, and then said, "But if you want to calculate according to the middle-level silver craftsman standard of the craftsmen guild, you can probably only It counts as nine."

  There is actually a standard for judging the strength of the alchemist.

  And this criterion is made by the Craftsman Guild.

A bronze craftsman who can forge bronze-level enchanted equipment is a bronze craftsman; afterwards, he can forge ten medium-effect bronze magical equipment, which can be regarded as a middle-stage bronze craftsman; and then he can forge ten special-effect bronze enchanted equipment, which is Senior bronze craftsman. As for the silver and gold standards, the same goes for them. As long as you can forge magical equipment that meets this criterion, you can apply for certification at the Craftsmen's Guild. This is a very useful identity certification.

  Like Sean, if you go to the Craftsman's Guild, it is no problem to authenticate the title of a middle-level goldsmith.

  This Arnome is a silversmith.

  As long as he succeeds in creating a medium-effect silver-level demonized equipment, he can get the title of middle-level silver craftsman.

  "Where is the one before Ryan?" Sean thought of this, and asked again, "High-ranking bronze craftsman?"

"En." Asuna nodded, "But I guess Mr. Caddy must be here now. It is said that he has already tried to attack the silversmith last year, but it is not clear whether he succeeded.... This year, I haven't had time to come back to the royal capital until now."

   "Then this auction tonight is really going to cause a **** storm." Sean touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

  He is very clear. Ryan's alchemist must have not succeeded in the impact.

  In other words, these two alchemists both urgently need this smoky fluorite to impact their higher stages. Regardless of the problems with the Judgment Standard of the Craftsmen Guild itself, it is for the craftsmen. This kind of insight that can be gained when successfully forging equipment is indeed not low, and it can even be said to be far beyond the level that ordinary people can imagine.

  For this reason, it is very rare in the game to fight for a material.

  In the terminology of the game, it means that the experience value and proficiency have increased greatly.

  At this time, no one in the auction dared to question the authenticity of the auction item again. After all, even a very authoritative person like Arnom had spoken. Who would dare to be presumptuous in this regard? So soon, the atmosphere became a little condensed, and of course many people were more curious. Since the starting price of this smoky quartz fluorite is so high, it has even completely exceeded the first auction item that was regarded as a good start, but why is it not the final auction item?

   does not even appear in the directory.

  Many nobles present, but all have received catalogues from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. The above all explain in detail what will be auctioned in this three-day auction.

  Perhaps he was aware of the doubts of everyone present. The auctioneer smiled and said: "In fact, this auction item is an auction item that we have just received from the sender. Because the sender urgently needs money, many other steps are omitted. Add it to this auction... If you have no problems, then we can start bidding."

  Following the words of the auctioneer, the alchemist named Arnoum spoke directly: "Two hundred thousand!"

   "Wow". There was a tumult in the entire auction floor.

   "Hey." Sean smacked his lips. "These alchemists are really rich."

"Because everyone is asking them to help. Of course I have money." Asuna smiled, "200,000, for Ryan, it's just a year's remuneration. If you count the others. I’m afraid it’s more than this amount of money for a year."

   "The money comes quickly, and the expenses are high." Xiao En said disapprovingly.

  The real most profitable is the alchemy blacksmith above the level of the silversmith in the middle stage.

  Like Arnom and the high-ranking bronze craftsman in the Kingdom of Lane, they are still in the stage of "burning proficiency". Even if there is a profit, the deposit is not expected to be much. However, these two craftsmen are very clever, relying on the royal family or those nobles who want to burn their proficiency, which can save a lot of expenses. This is the same as the life professional players who took refuge in the large guilds in the game. One reason.

   "Two hundred thousand for the second time."

  After Arnom spoke, the entire venue was silent for ten seconds. Still no one dared to bid, and the auctioneer finally started to raise his hammer helplessly.

  "200,000th..."

  "Two hundred and fifty thousand!" At the moment when the hammer was about to fall, someone finally started quoting.

   "Huh?" A cold snort of dissatisfaction came from Arnom's room.

   "In Lane, you are not the only alchemist." The second bidder sneered at Arnom's dissatisfaction.

  At this moment, if no one knows the identity of this person, then these people present are not old foxes on the political field.

   Obviously, the next scene must belong to the battle between these two alchemists.

  And for such a shocking **** scene, there will undoubtedly be two people who are most happy to see it.

  The first place is naturally the ace auctioneer Jero.

  The higher the price of this thing, the higher the reward he can get.

  And the second one, of course, is the sender.

  Although he has to pay 20% of the auction price to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the money he can get will definitely not be less.

  After Arnoum guessed the identity of the second bidder, he stopped talking nonsense and started bidding directly. But in the face of Arnom's bid, Ryan, the alchemy blacksmith, naturally clings to it, so in just a short time, the smoky quartz fluorite has been photographed for a real sky-high price of 500,000!

  An ordinary silver-level magic equipment, even if Sean’s previous estimate of the price of this world was wrong, it would never exceed the price of 200,000 yuan. Even the silver equipment of the medium-efficiency grade, unless it has some special performance, otherwise it will float around 300,000. If the performance is particularly good, it may be sold for about 400,000 through auctions and other means.

  Further up, that is the price of the gold-grade magic equipment.

   Xiao En originally thought that the medium-efficiency gold-grade equipment was only worth two to three hundred thousand yuan. This was really an insult to the magical equipment. Fortunately, through this lively auction today, Sean's common sense in this area has finally been supplemented, which will also make a very good progress for his future plans to make money. Therefore, he naturally understands the true value of such production materials better than others.

  No matter from which aspect, smoky quartz fluorite has far exceeded its own value.

  After all, this is just a piece of silver magic equipment material.

  But this is only for the vast majority of alchemists in this world.

  In the eyes of Sean, at least smoky quartz fluorite has not reached its true value limit.

  The astonishing price of only 500,000 yuan finally cooled the hot minds of the two alchemists.

  It's just this kind of cooling, that is, a slight drop in temperature.

  Because for these two people, the real value of smoky quartz fluorite is not in forging a piece of silver equipment, but in breaking through their current shackles, allowing them to move to a more advanced stage. Whether it is a breakthrough to a silversmith or a middle silversmith, for these two alchemists, it is still a rare insight and gain, and this gain will be returned to them in the future at a price ten times the current price.

  "Five hundred and ten thousand." Ryan's original alchemist was the bidder.

   "Heh." Arnom was still a simple and crude sneer, "Five hundred and fifty thousand."

   "Five hundred and seventy thousand."

"Six hundred thousand."

  On one side, there was a price increase of 10,000 to 10,000, but the other side was still a price increase of tens of thousands of tens of thousands. The economic gap between the two has been significantly manifested. Of course, in fact, it does not rule out the possibility that the alchemy and blacksmith of the Kingdom of Lane is hiding himself. After all, the money he has earned over the years has been hardly paid. It is unlikely that he will only save this point, unless it is really encountered. Things are spent.

  In a blink of an eye, the bidding price quickly rose to 780,000.

  At this time, Ryan’s alchemy blacksmith still has a price increase of five thousand five thousand, which is the lowest price increase previously mentioned by the auctioneer. On the other hand, Arnom is obviously almost reaching the limit, because he is no longer the previous increase of tens of thousands of tens of thousands, but the beginning of a price increase of 10,000 to 10,000.

Only at this moment, Sean’s brows were slightly frowned, and he suddenly understood one thing: “Arnom knew that Ryan, the alchemist, was present tonight, and obviously knew that there was such a smoky fluorite. It's going to be auctioned."

   "What?" Asuna and Kos were surprised.

"Anom really wants to hit the mid-level silversmith's strength, but it is not this smoky quartz fluorite he wants to rely on." Shaun said in a deep voice, "It should be another plan, but the funds are not enough. So he is digging a hole, wanting to squeeze his opponent's funds to serve as his stepping stone....Tsk, it's a shame to be an alchemist with this mindset."

  Almost in the time when Sean spoke like this, the smoky quartz fluorite has been photographed 830,000.

  The winner of the bidding was the alchemy blacksmith of the Kingdom of Lane. Arnoma hadn't bid for more than ten seconds, so the countdown to the auctioneer had begun.

  "830,000 for the first time!"

   "The second time for eight hundred and thirty thousand!"

   "830,000 third..."

   "eight hundred fifty thousand."

  As soon as this bid was heard, everyone was shocked! (To be continued...)

  Ps: There have been a lot of things in the past two days. I'm sorry. I thought I could keep changing the worst this week. I'm really sorry.
