Six Hundred and Fourteenth Shield of Sluder

Body 0614 Shield of Sluder

The current situation, should we say that it is in full swing? Still calm?

Lorraine felt a little out of control.

On the one hand, today is the first day of the six auctions in two days, and the current session is the first half of all 16 lots. From the position, it can only be regarded as the hot spot in the hot spot.

But the Shelter Villa auction is a top-notch black market auction after all, and most of the bidders participating in the auction are the wallets behind the political forces.

Compared with the handed down families and pure plutocrats, these people have a weaker concept of money. In other words, they may be the group of people who are most willing to spend meaningless spare money in the world.

The auction went very smoothly. There were six auctions in succession, some with history, some with art, or with the blessings of celebrities and famous scenery. The comparison between the transaction price and the starting price is not low.

Although Lorraine could not refer to the authoritative bargaining price due to the confidentiality of the directory, but he turned on the lights three times out of interest, so he could somewhat feel the premium price of this transaction.

The premium transaction means that there is a lack of professional collectors among the bidders, and it also means that Lorraine's opponents are not short of money. Both the family property and the cash they bring seem to be abundant.

That's not good news for the furious auctions.

Lorraine secretly raised the psychological price of that set of design drawings, from the previous one hundred thousand pounds to one hundred and forty thousand pounds.

The seventh lot finally appeared, and it was Lorraine's only planned target in this round, the Viking round shield Sluder's Shield.

I saw the attendants pushing up a blue-gray round shield from under the stage. The leather surface of the shield was completely peeled off, and only the bare metal shield was left. The edge was carved with lifelike reliefs, covered with leather nails, and it was well maintained. .

The master of ceremonies pointed to the round shield and said: "In the 14th century Vikings epic "The Proud Dinas Saga" describes a story, Prince Dinas of Egypt was driven out of the kingdom by his jealous brother and fled and met Filotemia, the princess of Branla."

"Philotemia fell in love with Prince Dinas, and not only persuaded Branla's king to support the prince's revenge, but also followed the prince's beliefs and became Branla's Vikings."

"The two sides supported each other on the road of revenge and never gave up, until Dinas fell into a trap in a battle. In times of crisis, Philotemila's prayer moved Asgard, Valkyris Lourdes Give her your divine power and aegis, and let Philotemila become a shield girl, able to fight side by side with her lover."

"This shield is the shield of Slude depicted in the saga, the blessing of the Valkyrie, the inheritance of Princess Filotemira of Branla."

"It was sent by a hidden Viking fishing village in Greenland. The villagers claimed to be the descendants of Dinas and Filotemira. This is the first time it has flowed into the civilized market.”

"We convened experts in various fields to conduct a comprehensive assessment. First of all, Branla means [black] in the Viking language. Coupled with the existence of the Egyptian prince Dinas, it is generally believed that Philotemira may be Daughter of a priest or chieftain of a powerful tribe in Central Africa."

"However, in the 14th century that Sakya refers to, the Viking culture has completely disappeared from the mainstream culture. There is no clear record of Viking wars in Egyptian history, and there is no historical support for Viking culture to radiate North Africa."

"On the other hand, Mr. Smog, a Norwegian expert, believes that the Viking Saga and Edda often refer to it, and Branla in the Viking language means black land. Egypt also has heaven and earth in the Viking records. The end, the symbol of the Kingdom of Fire."

"From this point of view, what the proud Dinas Saga is referring to is likely to be the story of the war between the two Viking villages in Greenland and Iceland. Greenland is Egypt and Iceland is Branla."

"On the other hand, the craftsmanship of the Shield of Sluder has inherited the forging characteristics of the Vikings' heyday, using a unique temperature difference quenching, and the material is Mithril, that is, Uzi steel smelted with an alchemy formula. This formula was used in 12 The century is lost,

Although the possibility of small-scale inheritance is not ruled out, imitation is extremely difficult. "

"Based on the above, the history of the Shield of Sluder can be used as a reference, and because of its artistic value and special material, it has a high value as a handicraft. It is well maintained and lasts forever. The starting price of the shield is 1,200 pounds, and the price will increase by 300 per round. Pounds, please show the lights and make an offer.”

Without Lorraine's special instructions, Edley directly flashed the yellow light in the face of Sluder's shield, which had already become the target.

The auction started, with 9 bids in the first round, 8 bids in the second round, 6 bids in the third round, 5 bids in the sixth round, 3 bids in the eighth round, and finally only the No. 12 of Lorraine and another No. 18 left in the tenth round. Final victory.

"3900 pounds! 3900 pounds for the Sluder Shield, 3900 pounds for boxes 12 and 18! The eleventh round..."

"4,200 pounds on the 12th! 4,200 pounds on the 12th, the choice of the 18th guest is... free quotation!"

The first free quotation so far in the auction appeared so abruptly. On the 18th, two lights were lit at the same time. In the direction of the box that Lorraine could not see or hear, the master of ceremonies announced that the auction was suspended.

Lorraine's eyes flickered.

"A free offer for a Viking weapon? Is it really so determined? Is it because of the Vikings? Or alchemy?"

He frowned thoughtfully.

Time passed quickly in contemplation, and before Lorraine understood what was going on, the master of ceremonies had already taken the note from the waiter.

"Additional price of 1,000 pounds for box 18! The shield of Sluder is 5,200 pounds. Is there a higher bid?" The emcee's voice was excited and high, "Twelfth round, now offer 5,200 pounds! Number 12! Number 12 is even higher Shall we continue? The thirteenth round of bidding begins now..."

"Captain, what should we do?" Edley looked at Lorraine in embarrassment.

Lorraine waved his hand gently: "Before I stop, continue."

"yes!"

The price of the shield rose to 5,500 pounds, no less than a year's tax in a medium-sized town, and after Lorraine's quotation, the reaction of box 18 was...the second free quotation, 6,500 pounds!

The price of shields starting at 1,200 pounds rose to 6,500 pounds, which has already exceeded the normal rational auction range. The determination of box 18 greatly increased Lorraine's interest.

"Free Quotation!!!!" The master of ceremonies exclaimed, "The first climax has appeared! After two consecutive free quotations on the 18th, the guest will apply for a free quotation on the 12th!!!"

"The Shield of Slud! The alchemy shield in the Viking Saga, the legacy of Princess Philotemila! What makes it different, and how much does the distinguished guest on the 12th plan to increase!"

Lorraine was sitting in front of the coffee table with a quill in hand, and a note was spread out in front of him, with no ink on it.

He thought for a while, brushed a few strokes on the paper, dried the ink and handed it to Carmen, and asked with a smile: "You have participated in many auctions, please help me as a consultant."

Carmen took it over with a smile, and glanced at it: "The captain is very concerned about that unknown opponent."

"Just curious." Lorraine nodded.

Carmen narrowed her eyes and thought for a while: "It's good, although it's a bit reckless, but your goal is not that shield."

The reckless man's face tightened when he heard the words: "Captain, we don't want the shield anymore?"

"The shield must be ours." Lorraine put away his pen and ink, and asked Edley to hand the note to the waiting waiter, "It's just that our purpose has changed, and the Slude's shield is now an incidental thing no matter how good it is. Sorry, Leif..."
