Chapter 1416 The Last Auction Item

…

Zoe's mother is the leader of the Green Claw tribe of harpies, and she is also the queen of harpies.

Unfortunately, the competition in the hell world is fierce and there are too many wars. Not only must you always be wary of enemies within and from surrounding tribes, but you must also always avoid being involved in larger wars.

Her mother was involved in the war between the two demon kings, and was eventually implicated. After the defeat, the Green Claw tribe was brutally destroyed, and her mother herself, along with most of the tribe, were tragically reduced to slaves and sold everywhere.

However, even though her mother was reduced to a slave girl, her grace and demeanor were still there. Coupled with her once noble status and outstanding wisdom, she was quite popular among the people at the bottom of the underground black market in this great city.

Hill, the weapon training master who opened a blacksmith shop, also met Zoe's mother, Zoe Greenclaw Queen of the Harpy, during this time.

The person in charge of the black market, President Ned, was concerned about Queen Green Claw's influence in the black market, coupled with her strong ability to attract money, so he treated her with courtesy and did not force her to pick up customers, but treated her as someone in the red light district. The number one card, and then select some distinguished guests, and only after bidding against each other can they get the time to spend time with the Queen of Green Claws.

Unfortunately, after Zoe was born, Queen Greenpaw was disheartened and died in depression.

No one can stop a person who wants to die. After Queen Green Claw passed away, young Zoe wandered around the underground black market all day long. In this huge underground market town, she was at a loss and terrified.

At this time, the weapon refining master Hill received the young Zoe.

Although Zoe is young, she has outstanding blood qualifications, which comes from her mother's excellent genetic inheritance.

In other words, Zoe is different from ordinary harpies, but a child with the qualifications of a queen, who is very likely to become the queen of a tribe in the future.

Hill, who pretended to be an old blacksmith here, was worried that the young Zoe would be persecuted, so he took the opportunity to find President Ned and expressed his willingness to work with several nearby shop owners to take care of Zoe until she reached adulthood.

President Ned thought the same thing. How much can a baby be sold for? If she is cultivated and packaged, she might be able to become a new queen like her mother, and that way she can make a lot of money.

So President Ned agreed to Hill's proposal, and his control over Zoe was relatively relaxed.

Zoe, who gained relative freedom, lived in various shops on this street. But most of the time, Zoe stayed in Hill's blacksmith shop and watched Hill make iron and repair equipment when he had nothing to do.

Appraisal is a profession that needs to be covered by many professions. As a master of weapon refining, Hill naturally involves a lot. Otherwise, he would not be able to recognize an item, so there would be no need to make or repair it. It's just that Hill, whose main business is refining weapons, does not have as much depth as professional appraisers in this area. He focuses more on the source and type of the object, while the appraiser needs to fully understand the characteristics and origin of the object in more aspects. Discover it.

Hill understood that Zoe could not become an equipment refiner, so he showed Zoe some skills in repairing equipment and appraising items during some daily work. As a result, Zoe became interested immediately.

Hill took the opportunity to give Zoe some pointers, which was regarded as teaching Zoe some entry-level skills in this industry. Coupled with his secret guidance, young Zoe suddenly found her life goal and was no longer confused.

When she was young, Zoe believed that if she could become a master in a certain field and earn more money for the black market, then she might not be persecuted and poisoned by the black market like her mother and other compatriots.

Therefore, the appraisal technique that interested her greatly became her first choice for research.

Over the decades, Zoe consulted almost everyone on the black market who could be consulted. Now an adult, Zoe has finally made great achievements in the identification technique. And the source of all this is naturally because of the weapon-refining master Hill who hides his identity.

"I didn't expect that the weapon-refining master Hill you know is actually such a secretive and careless expert."

After Wang Yan heard Zoe's story, he asked sincerely, "I wonder if there is a chance. I would like to visit in person and see how he restored this sacred artifact."

"It is natural that Lord Demon Flame wants to meet Master Hill. Moreover, Zoe has decided to follow Lord Demon Flame to leave the black market. Before leaving, she should also visit the master."

Appraiser Zoe was full of gratitude and smiled and said, "As for repairing the sacred artifact, don't worry, Zoe and the master are like father and daughter, and he will never refuse my request."

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "Then I'll be relieved."

Several companions around him also showed happy expressions. It is definitely worth looking forward to seeing a master refiner display his superb skills in repairing a sacred artifact.

If their boss can take the opportunity to draw this anonymous master of weapon refinement into his own camp, it will definitely be a great blessing.

…

On Wang Yan's side, they were communicating secretly in the soundproof barrier. The scene was still full of complaints and noise.

Maybe it was because of the pressure brought by the complaints from the bidders, or maybe it was because of the realization that over-packaging had the opposite effect.

The middle-aged bidder on the booth paused in embarrassment, cleared his throat again, and after regaining his composure, said loudly again: "This sacred artifact is indeed somewhat damaged due to the war, but it is not damaged. As long as it is slightly damaged, Repair it and it will regain its original glory!”

After hearing his shout, a large number of bidders at the scene gradually quieted down.

These bidders began to think that what the bidder said made some sense. Even if the holy weapon was damaged, it was still a holy weapon after all. It was better than other weapons. If they bought it back now and found someone to repair it, wouldn't the value be restored?

These people thought that a damaged holy weapon was indeed worth buying.

"This Crowman Staff is the top inherited holy weapon of the wind system. It has high-intensity elemental affinity. Even if it has not been repaired now, it still has the power of a spiritual weapon-level staff!" The middle-aged bidder saw that the bidders around him were interested, and immediately regained his previous calmness. He straightened his face and hurriedly continued to speak loudly, "In order to give back to the majority of buyers, our black market auction house will start the auction at the price of a spiritual weapon for this last holy weapon-level product!"

"Now its starting price is 30,000 magic crystal coins!"

The shout of the middle-aged bidder really cheered up many bidders at the scene.

The starting price of 30,000 magic crystal coins is indeed the auction price of an ordinary spiritual weapon. If there is a chance to buy this holy weapon back and repair it, wouldn’t it be a big profit? Even an ordinary holy weapon can be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions, right?

Therefore, as soon as the middle-aged auctioneer released the starting price, the whole scene fell into a discussion.

"Hehe, this auctioneer is indeed cunning, but he can only deceive ordinary people."

While everyone was talking, on Wang Yan's side, appraiser Zoe laughed softly and shook her head gently, revealing a look of being sober while everyone else was drunk.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "You mean, there is still a price difference here?"
