Chapter 656 The tenth lot(1/2)
"Harry, tell me, do you think I have a chance to take a photo of that potion?"
"Lachi, I don't know this either!"
"Harry, how many gold coins do you think that potion can fetch later?"
"I don't know how many gold coins I can get for it, but I think it must be a sky-high price!"
In the manor of the Holy Trading Company, Gervais and Lucky were heading towards the auction venue located at the end of the manor with a large number of people.
However, Gervais was tortured by Lucky's bombardment of questions and regretted coming with him.
Just as Gervais's answer fell, Lucky's question came again.
"Harry, my father gave me the right to use 20,000 gold coins. Do you think it's enough? After all, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a potion!"
The reason why Lucky keeps chattering is because he has no confidence at this time.
The Holy City of Heka is very far away from the City of Hope. With such a distance, Lucky's father may not receive news about the potion even after the auction ends.
Fortunately, there is a kind of bird called the Rainbow Bird in the Holy Continent. Although this bird is only a low-level monster and very small in size, it can fly very fast.
This kind of rainbow bird is raised by almost every large and small family for the purpose of transmitting messages, just like Gervais's homing pigeon in his previous life.
It only takes three days for the Rainbow Bird to fly from the City of Hope to the Holy City of Heka, so the news about the potion was sent back to the Holy City of Heka four days ago.
Lucky's father was also very interested in this magical potion, but the distance between the two places would take eight or nine days even by flying a bird of warcraft, so naturally Lucky's father could not come to attend the auction in person.
In the end, the matter was handed over to Lucky. Lucky had a better time on the way here, but occasionally vowed to complete the tasks his father had told him this time and obtain a bottle of potion to increase spiritual power for the Holy City of Heka.
But when they arrived at the manor of the Holy Trading Company, Lachi's original confidence disappeared, because he saw that among the people walking around, there were all prominent figures from the Holy Alliance.
He originally thought that he had the right to use 20,000 gold coins, and he was determined to get a potion.
But looking at the big shots beside him, Lucky knew that 20,000 gold coins were nothing compared to the magicians.
"Larch, you will know the result when the auction starts later, so don't worry, there is no point in worrying now."
Gervais naturally knew the reason for Lucky's continuous bombardment, and there was nothing he could do about it even if he had another headache.
After all, Lucky wanted to give him money anyway.
So I had no choice but to pat Lucky on the shoulder, and patiently offered words of comfort.
As for the price that the potion could fetch, Gervais himself could not predict.
Is it thousands of gold coins? Or tens of thousands of gold coins?
All this can only be revealed when filming actually starts!
"Harry, what you said makes sense! It's useless for me to worry now. If I really can't even get 20,000 gold coins, then I can only help my father save one gold coin!"
After hearing what Gervais said, Lucky nodded in despair.
Then perhaps all the questions that should be asked were asked, and Lucky finally ended his chattering along the way.
After that, Gervais breathed a sigh of relief, and the two continued to move forward with the crowd, and soon they arrived in front of the building where the auction venue was located.
The auction venue is a round, exquisite building with a height of more than thirty meters. There are many runes engraved on the walls, which should be used to strengthen the walls.
"Two distinguished magicians, sorry to disturb you, please show your tickets to enter the auction site!"
When Gervais and Lucky arrived at the entrance of the auction, an attendant first saluted the two respectfully, and then asked them for their tickets in a gentle tone.
"This is our ticket!"
Lucky immediately handed over a black card from his hand, which was the auction ticket issued by the Holy Trading Company.
This time, each family in the 108 holy cities of the Holy Alliance has one, and one ticket can allow two people to enter the venue, so Gervais came with Lachi today.
Of course, in fact, even if Lachie's ticket quota is not available, Gervais himself can enter, because that girl Adela has already given him a ticket in a book.
However, Gervais received an invitation from Lucky yesterday, saying that he was bringing him to see the world, so Gervais did not use his own card.
"Two distinguished magicians, please come in!"
The attendant took the ticket from Lucky's hand and quickly verified it. After confirming that it was correct, he saluted respectfully again and then invited the two people into the auction venue.
After entering the auction venue, Gervais discovered that the layout here was actually somewhat similar to the Arena in Lindong City. There was a semicircular layout inside, with a total of two floors.
The first floor of the auction hall is a general area, and each location is neatly arranged. Although it does not appear to be that spacious, it can accommodate a lot of people.
The second floor is the VIP area, which not only has fenced-off seats, but also has many attendants walking among the crowd, providing snacks and tea...
Of course, the auction hall can only accommodate a few thousand people at most, which is incomparable to the Colosseum, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
There is also a roof above the auction house. The roof is inlaid with hundreds of deep-sea pearls, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
At this time, the auction venue was almost full of people, and since Lachi represented the Holy City of Heka, his seat was assigned to the VIP area on the second floor with a better view.
When the two came to the second floor and sat down, after just waiting for a while, other people attending the auction also arrived one after another.
when!
Although everyone was present, the sound of the pendulum clock finally came from the high platform in front of the hall.
Then I saw a middle-aged man in a formal dress walking up to the high platform. He was the host of today's auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sacred auction venue!"
After the host came to the stage, he greeted everyone with a smile and strong and clear words, and then began to introduce the rules of the auction.
After all, this was Gervais's second time attending the auction, so he didn't listen much. Instead, he glanced sideways and happened to find Adela and Edward sitting in a booth not far away.
At this time, Adela also did not listen carefully to the host's words, but kept scanning the crowd below with her beautiful eyes. It was obvious that Adela was looking for Gervais.
"Having said the precautions, I won't delay any more. Today's auction will officially begin!"
"The auction of the first auction item will begin now!"
After explaining the precautions, the host was very straightforward and started the auction directly.
As he finished speaking, he saw two beautiful maids carrying a tray to the high platform, and then steadily placed the tray on the display stand nearby.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw a small jar of silver sand.
"This is a mithril essence, weighing one kilogram in total. I believe everyone knows its function. If you want to forge weapons and equipment above the quality of enchantment, you must use this mithril essence as a material!"
"If you want to forge your own legendary equipment or even better epic equipment, don't miss this auction. The starting price of this auction is 2,000 gold coins, and each increase in price will be no less than fifty gold coins!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the first auction item, the host opened his mouth to introduce it at the right time.
"2100 gold coins!"
"I offer 2150 gold coins!"
"I offer 2,200 gold coins!"
"..."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the sound of bidding instantly rang out in the hall.
"Wow! There is actually a mithril essence, which is rare! Unfortunately, my quota of 10,000 gold coins can only be used to auction those two potions."
When the bidding was heard in the hall, Lucky turned to Gervais and whispered, his eyes filled with envy.
This mithril essence is actually the core of the mithril mine, and the emergence of the mithril mine is also related to it.
As long as this mithril essence exists, even if the mithril mine is exhausted, the mineral will still slowly recover after being stored for decades or hundreds of years.
And as time goes by, the size of the mithril mine will become larger.
It is precisely because of this that the mithril essence has become rare, and no family is willing to put the mithril essence up for auction.
Because once the mithril essence is taken out from the ground, it will immediately lose its effect and can only be used as a material for forging weapons and equipment.
Most of the legendary weapons or epic weapons in the Holy Continent were either picked up from the Land of God's Fall, or the mithril essence forged was mined from the Land of God's Fall.
Lucky muttered, the auction of mithril essence over there was also coming to an end.
As the host's hammer fell, this portion of Mithril Essence was finally bought by a Holy City Lord for 3,500 gold coins.
As the first auction item was sold successfully, seven or eight more auction items were sold successfully, and the price was only higher than the previous Mithril Essence.
There was even a piece of armor that was sold at auction for tens of thousands of gold coins, which made both Gervais and Lucky speechless.
Of course, there would not be so many good things in the past auctions. This time it was because of the potion. The Holy Trading Company knew that there must be many big shots coming, so the Holy Trading Company also made full preparations and exchanged all the auction items for precious ones.
things.
As the auction items become more and more precious and the prices become higher and higher, the emotions of the crowd at the scene have also been aroused.
"Next is the tenth lot!"
As the host's voice sounded, the two maids from before once again carried a tray to the high platform.
When everyone looked at the tray, they discovered that the auction item was a little strange. It turned out to be a small stone statue.
This stone statue has a humanoid appearance, wearing a set of armor, and there are many runes on the armor.
"How come there is such a statue, and it is even offered at this auction?"
Lucky observed the statue for a moment, then muttered to himself.
Gervais heard Lackey's muttering and didn't understand what he meant. Regarding these strange things in the Holy Continent, Gervase's knowledge reserve was not as much as Lackey knew in some aspects.
To be continued...
