Act 45 Rock Corps Necklace

Act 46 The Rock Corps Necklace

The parchment, which the auctioneer called the 'scroll of revelation', caused a ripple in the crowd when it appeared. The low exclamation spread like ripples and soon reached the ears of Brando and his party, letting people know The auctioneer has succeeded, at least initially, in attracting the attention of most people.

However, although people whispered, most of them remained silent. The nobles who are willing to compete for this scroll generally have a certain financial background. These people sit leisurely in the box above, waiting for the first bidder.

"Most of the scrolls of elemental revelation are the work of the fairies of the Crystal Tundra. There is a quota every year. It was originally intended to add more lower-level elementalists to the tribe - but there are actually quite a few scrolls like this that leak out privately every year. "The cripple explained on the side.

"Then why don't they do more?" Roman asked on the side.

"Making an elemental revelation scroll requires consuming the magic power of the elemental pool, which is not a trivial matter for a high-level elemental user." Ciel replied on the side.

"What's more, even if ordinary people can succeed in using elemental scrolls to forcibly achieve an elemental contract, their achievements in life will be limited. They will not be any better than ordinary people. The more scrolls like this, the better." He continued. said.

Bottom, Antitina and Roman were fascinated by what they heard, but they didn't expect that a small scroll had such an origin. Charles and Brando had heard about it for a long time, but Brando still answered:

“Just didn’t expect to see this in Prague.”

The lame man's sense of smell is as sensitive as a sneaky rat, and he can tell that the young man's knowledge in Brando's words is far from limited to a small place like Prague - although for Roman and Antitina, here It was almost the largest city they had ever seen - he thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, are you interested in that thing?"

"A little."

"How about I ask my people to bid?" asked the lame man.

Brando thought about it and nodded. The price of the scroll of revelation was five thousand tols, and each increase was five percent of the base price. So at the lame man's signal, his men quickly held up a sign on the other side.

Five thousand.

However, with the first mover, the price quickly went up. New quotes quickly came from the second and third floor boxes, and they were refreshed one after another. Before the auctioneer had time to lift the hammer, the price had already reached The location of eight thousand tols.

The quotation almost went around this 'small theater',

Then it was back to Brando. The lame man turned back and looked at him with questioning eyes. He thought for a moment, nodded and compared a number. [Ci*book/ge] www/cishuge/com

The person over there held up a sign——

Eight thousand five hundred.

Antitina's expression changed slightly.

Little Roman was indifferent.

Bottom looked like he was watching the show.

But a new voice soon came from the box on the second floor, and the auctioneer's assistant read out a new price: nine thousand tols. The nobles in the box have become a little impatient.

The second round of competition lost the obvious flavor of temptation and almost saw blood. The voices reading out the quotations became colder and grimmer, and the numbers gradually went higher; starting from nine thousand tols, almost every time the price was doubled by a hundred from the original price. One-tenth, ten thousand, ten thousand, twelve thousand...

Both the auctioneer and the assistant seemed a little calm, but no introduction was needed at this moment, and the competition was entering a fierce stage. But the price obviously hasn't reached what these people want.

Finally, a faint voice came from the fourth box from the left, "Fifteen thousand."

Like the last beat of a drum in a storm, the sound of wind and rain ceased as the last burst of rain passed. The dark crowd sitting below felt suffocated like an audience in a theater, thinking that this was the final word.

The lame man smacked his mouth, then turned around.

Brando frowned. This was a question of whether it was worthwhile to exchange 16,000 Thor for 2,000 experience points. But he just hesitated for a moment and patted the back of his hand gently.

The lame man raised his sign again:

Sixteen thousand tols.

The crowd suffocated slightly, understanding that the most critical moment had been reached.

When the auctioneer's assistant saw the sign erected on the 'auditorium', he couldn't help but muttered: "Is the cripple crazy? We didn't let him do that. I'm afraid those nobles would be unhappy -"

The auctioneer nuzzled at his young assistant: "There is someone behind him."

When Brando made the gesture, Antitina and Bottom both turned to look at him. They didn't understand why the young knight was so fond of that scroll. Did he want to become an element? make?

But didn't the wizard apprentice say that even a low-level elementalist opened with a revelation scroll would have limited achievements after all. This kind of thing is actually prepared for talented people - it can save those talented people the time wasted in the accumulation stage of elements.

But Brando didn't explain.

Ciel didn't need to explain. He certainly understood why the young man was so fond of that scroll.

The lame man's bid made the voices in the box above pause slightly. The nobles seemed to be considering the identity of this sudden competitor, but in just a moment, a new bid fell on everyone below.

Eighteen thousand Thors.

It's still the fourth box from the left. The lame man put his mouth to Brando's ear and whispered: "Baron Donnel, his family has several estates near Prague. He also owns some properties in Prague. He is also a member of the Prague local council. His father Both my grandfather and I played this role——"

Brando nodded. These local gentry can be seen in many places in Eruin, but a small baron will not fight for a scroll. The other party may be a big shot. agent.

When he was slightly startled, the quotation had risen to 21,000. A knight in the third-floor box and the baron had obviously made a deal.

In the bickering between the two, the quotation rose all the way to twenty-six thousand Thors. However, the big shots in the first-floor box finally took over. The quotation seemed to turn into a knife at this moment, and the knife was swung at the people below. Above the heads of the audience, the astronomical figure of forty thousand tols reached in the blink of an eye.

In the meantime, Brando participated again when the price was around 20,000 Tors, but was immediately refreshed by the noble's agent. In the end, the scroll was sold for a sky-high price of 42,000 Tors, which made the young man a little regretful.

After all, it is 2,000 experience points. If you can buy it with 20,000 to 30,000 Thors, that would be a good idea. However, more than 40,000 yuan was a bit too much, and would even affect his plans, so Brando gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up the deal.

It was just that his face was calm, but Antitina and the lame man didn't see any clues. They just thought that this young man had a rich family and did not regard this money as money.

After the first wave of small climax of the auction, it entered the smooth transition period that Brando had expected, and then several items were sold in succession, with prices ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand tols.

The transaction was uneventful, and everyone present looked a little bored. However, the lame man was able to find work. He introduced the origins of these things to Brando and others one by one - he might not be able to tell that a magic ring that emits light like a candle is a product of that workshop, but he At least he could tell where this was stolen, and what the noble family secretly leaked.

Antitina, Little Roman and Bottom all listened with interest. Only Brando and Charles discussed more about the origin of those things.

They mentioned Tamar once, and they couldn't help but feel a pity that the master of alchemy was unable to go because he was devoted to his work. Otherwise, there would probably be something he liked among the several magic items that were previously traded.

Then the second climax of the auction soon came. This time, the auction was for a necklace. To be precise, it should be a few stones strung together by a rough rope. If you don't know the goods, you may miss this good thing. But Brando almost screamed when he saw this necklace——

Rock Corps Necklace.

This thing is used in conjunction with the 'Stone Lair' created by level 17 alchemy. It can reduce the material consumption of the stone puppets produced in the 'Stone Lair' by fifty percent, thus increasing the output in disguise.

While he was explaining the function of this necklace to others, Roman and Ciel were fine, but Bottom and Antitina's eyes quickly shone. One of them is a mercenary who has been exposed to war all year round, and the other is a wealthy lady who has received a noble education. Of course, they understand the role of this necklace in a territory.

In Warnd, the war relies on three resources.

The first is people, the second is amber raw stones, the third is all other strategic materials, and the fourth is the 'nest'.

There is no need to explain. On the vast land with almost infinite kindness, the productivity brought about by the power of magic has given birth to a population that far exceeds the limitations of this era. They are the base of the potential for war between countries and between territories. .

The amber raw stone is separated from the Saumir raw mine. It is an associated mine of a series of metals such as silver, gold, and copper. This transparent amber-like crystal has the ability to store magic power. Antitina's 'magic transmission device' It was designed precisely to transform the power of this raw stone——

It is the basis for the prosperity of the magic system of all intelligent creatures on the earth, and it is also the blood of this ‘industrial system’.

Other resources, food, metal, wood and stone, are the most common strategic resources even on the earth where Brando was originally located, and they are reserved for war.

But the last point, 'nest', is a complex and very different concept from the war we are familiar with - but Brando, as a player, is very familiar with this thing -

In fact, when it comes to lairs, we have to start with the origin of the world of Warnd.

How does chaos exist, and how does order arise?

How does magic act on the earth, where do monsters come from, and how are their 'lairs' used by humans.
