Chapter 38 Auction
The commotion lasted for about half an hour, and the hall finally gradually became quiet. Kevin, still smiling on the stage, struck the stage with the hammer in his hand: "The auction of arcane potions has officially begun!"
A simple sentence, but more effective than the intimidation spell. In an instant, the huge hall fell silent, and no sound was heard.
Just as Lin Li was patiently waiting for the auction to begin, Grean came back with a sigh...
"How about it?"
"I paid for a bottle of arcane potion." Grean sat down on the chair, the expression on his face was extremely painful: "Damn, this is a big loss..."
"Just one bottle?" Lin Li rolled his eyes. What a big deal this was. He thought he was just grabbing eggs...
"One bottle is money!"
"Five thousand gold coins!" Just when Greg's body ached, someone in the hall had already started bidding.
As soon as the price came out, Lin Li was shocked. He knew that the arcane potion was very valuable, and he also knew that these guys could afford it, but he never thought that just the first bottle of arcane potion would cost him the first place. The first bid pushed the price to such an astonishing level...
What is the concept of five thousand gold coins? In exchange for the task of the Adventurer's Guild, the McGraney father and his daughter have to hunt down a hundred manticores and find fifty black castles in the Whispering Forest in order to exchange for a competitive arcane potion. Opportunity.
Besides, five thousand gold coins is just the starting price.
The person who called out the price was a small young man in his twenties or thirties, wearing a well-made mage robe. Greg looked at him for a few times and couldn't name him. He was probably the leader of a small force. This person This guy was probably like Lin Li. He had never seen too many gold coins. After shouting out the price of five thousand, he thought he had a chance to win. He sat in the crowd with a proud smile on his face. This bottle of arcane potion belongs to me. mean.
But before he could sit down, someone quoted a new price.
"Ten thousand gold coins!"
The person participating in the competition was a middle-aged man. Grean glanced at him and whispered to Lin Li: "This is Aaron Mazis, the leader of the Scarlet Brotherhood, one of the six underground forces in Garros, the main Controlling the casino business, this guy is not a simple person. Old Odin fought with him several times for control of the casino, but never once. Just watch, that little man is going to be in trouble..."
The price that suddenly doubled was obviously beyond the young mage's psychological expectations. When he looked up, there was obviously a trace of confusion on his face, but in the end he gritted his teeth and quoted the new price: "One Twelve thousand gold coins!”
"Fifteen thousand gold coins!" Aaron Matis didn't hesitate at all. As soon as the little man finished speaking, another fifteen thousand gold coins came out.
Aaron Mazis bid without hesitation, which was a fatal blow to the little mage. Fifteen thousand gold coins was not the limit, but the other party's tone gave him a feeling of despair, as if That's not fifteen thousand gold coins, but fifteen silver coins.
"First time for fifteen thousand gold coins!" The hammer fell on the stage, but it seemed to fall on the little mage's heart.
"Fifteen thousand gold coins for the second time!"
"Twenty thousand gold coins!" The little mage has begun to sweat on his forehead. This is all his property. He thought he could get at least two bottles of arcane potion back, but he didn't expect to even get one bottle. Feeling complacent at the time, he finally understood how deep the water in this auction was.
"Thirty thousand gold coins!"
Without even blinking, Aaron Mazis sentenced the little mage to death. This was a desperate price.
The hall was eerily silent, with the only sound being the hammer falling on the stage.
Everyone's eyes fell on Aaron Mazis. Even the heads of several magic families couldn't help being secretly surprised. The Scarlet Brotherhood has always been low-key and its reputation is far less famous than Old Odin and others. Unexpectedly, there are also Such financial resources and courage.
"Thirty thousand gold coins for the third time!" The hammer in Kevin's hand fell heavily, announcing the completion of the first transaction of the day: "Deal! Congratulations to Mr. Aaron Mazis!"
"This...is this thirty thousand gold coins?" Lin Li was stunned. This money came too easily.
"This is just the beginning." Grean was a little disdainful of his fuss: "Although the six underground forces are running various money-making businesses, they are still far behind the wealth accumulated by the Eleven Magic Family for thousands of years. Yuan, just watch carefully, UU Readingwww.uukanshu.net When they take action, the real climax of the auction will be!"
"Why are these guys so rich?"
"Not to mention the six major underground forces. Almost all of Garros' profitable businesses are controlled by them. However, compared to the Eleven Magic Families, they are just a group of upstarts. You have seen Old Merlin before. Do you know how much the staff in his hand cost?" When mentioning Old Merlin's staff, Greg's eyes were full of envy: "One million gold coins!"
"Damn!" Lin Li almost bit off his tongue. One million gold coins to buy a staff? No wonder a son like Cromwell could be born...
"Don't think it's too expensive. If old Merlin hadn't had some respect, he wouldn't have been able to buy it even if the price were doubled." Greg took advantage of this opportunity to quickly educate Lin Li about his illiteracy. This kid is always making a fuss. He pointed his fat finger at the magicians beside him: "Look at these losers. Whose equipment is not worth a hundred or eighty thousand if they take it off? The magician is This is how careers are, they all rely on money, of course - except for you monster, I've never seen you buy equipment before!"
"Why should I buy equipment..." Lin Li muttered in a low voice, thinking that I am a grand master of the five series and he is buying other people's equipment. Where will I put my face if word of this spreads?
Hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder the Magic Guild is so poor..."
"Wrong again!" Unexpectedly, Gregorian shook his head: "The guild is not poor. The three rare mineral veins in the Demon Slayer Valley alone can bring a stable income of three million gold coins to the guild every year."
"Then why do I look at them? They all look yellow and thin. Have you abused them? By the way, why does the name of Demon Slaughter Valley sound familiar to me?"
