Kong Ren also came to the window and looked down curiously, "There is an ancestral feather armor at home. Attacks with level five and below combat power cannot break through the defense. Even those with level six combat power will have to work hard to break through the defense."
.』"
"So powerful? How long can it be used?" Ding Kui asked.
"I don't know how long, but it has been passed down for at least a thousand years."
"Oh, that means it can be used permanently, it does not rely on energy to maintain, and it is stronger than my black magic armor." Ding Kui was mentally calculating the value of the Void Crane's feathers.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet. Let's first see if it's the feather of the Void Crane." Lu Bu opened the silver box.
The box was filled with white feathers, which emitted a soft light. What was strange was that the light seemed to cover the surface of the feathers tightly.
"Yes, those are the feathers of the Void Crane. The light of the void is its iconic feature. I have seen feather armor at home that looks like that." Kong Ren said accurately.
"It has its own light effect. Wouldn't it be a target of siege on the battlefield?" Ding Kui had never seen the feathers of the Void Crane before.
"Not everyone can wear feather armor, at least it must be the commander-in-chief of the legion. It doesn't matter what kind of armor you wear at that level. Once you fall into the enemy's formation, you will become a target of siege." Kong Ren disagreed with Ding Kui's point of view.
"Hahaha, that's right. People who dare to wear feather armor will not go into battle and charge. I just thought about the problem with the mentality of a small soldier. I have never been a big shot, so I ignored it." Ding Kui laughed at himself.
"You have already participated in large-scale wars, and you will rarely have the opportunity to charge in battle during your remaining service period. Why are you still paying so much attention to the feathers of this Void Crane?" Kong Ren felt strange.
"Don't worry about having too much of a good thing. A good pair of armor can save your life at a critical moment, which is equivalent to an extra life. Tell me, is life worth it? Isn't the more things you can sign up for at home, the better?"
People who have seen life and death have a strong mentality of protecting their lives. Ding Kui has fought against level six warriors and knows the value and importance of feather armor better than others. Those who are used to staying at home do not have the urgency to go to the battlefield and fight.
The emphasis on armor is not that high.
"If you have any questions, ask them quickly. The distinguished guests upstairs will wait a moment and let the guests in the hall take a look first. I will send them up to you for careful inspection later." Lu Bu carefully took out a few feathers and placed them on the newly laid floor.
On display table.
More than a dozen guards from the Lu Chamber of Commerce surrounded the display table and separated an area for buyers in the hall to watch from outside the area.
"If the Lu Chamber of Commerce dares to put it up for auction, the feathers must be genuine. The 'cat's eye fire diamond' is a bit special. I want to know more about it before bidding. There is no need to look at the feathers of the Void Crane, as long as the price is not high.
I won’t let it go.” Ding Kui raised his fist and said.
This time, seven or eight VIP rooms chose to view the Void Crane Feathers, and the preparation time before the auction was prolonged.
Obtaining the feathers of the Void Crane requires a craftsman to make the feather armor. It is expensive to hire high-level craftsmen and master craftsmen. Therefore, it costs a lot to get an armor comparable to a famous sword. It may be more expensive than what Ding Kui has.
The price of "Yueshang" is still high.
After intense preparations, Void Crane Feathers entered the bidding stage.
"The complete feathers of a Void Crane have a base price of 500,000 gold coins. The minimum increase cannot be less than 50,000 gold coins. Please bid." Lu Bu sounded the small gong.
"Table No. 1 bids 500,000 gold coins."
"Table No. 20 bids 550,000 gold coins."
"Table 13 bids 600,000 gold coins."
"The offer for room No. 8 is 700,000 gold coins!"
…
The bidding started with excitement, and the amount kept rising. More than a dozen bids were called out in succession. When the price exceeded 900,000 gold coins, the bidding intensity dropped.
"The offer for room 11 is one million gold coins!"
Ding Kui chose to join the battle group at this time. He wanted to give others the impression that he would start bidding, and he would still have some room left behind.
"The offer for room No. 8 is 1.11 million gold coins!"
"The offer for Room 11 is 1.2 million gold coins!"
"Is there anyone who wants the feathers of the Void Crane? As long as your price is higher than the VIP in Room 11, there is hope." Seeing that the bidding paused for a long time, Lu Bu started to encourage others to bid.
Ding Kui sat back on the chair and cursed in a low voice: "Good Lü Bu, it's not a big deal for those who are really watching the excitement, and the auctioneer doesn't mind the low price. If you don't say a few words, you will die."
The VIP in Room 8 was obviously hesitant. The price of 1.2 million was not low. As long as he backed down, Ding Kui could take the feather of the Void Crane at a normal price. Ding Kui was afraid that he would continue to shout.
"The offer for room number one is 1.3 million gold coins."
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way. Before the people in Room 8 could think clearly, another Room 1 popped out.
Even Hua Nuan stood up nervously and walked to the window to see who was in Room No. 1. Unfortunately, the window facing the auction hall was cleverly designed. The outside could be seen clearly from the inside, but it was difficult to see clearly from the outside.
in.
According to Dong Song, it was to protect the privacy of distinguished guests.
This time it was Ding Kui's turn to hesitate, not because he didn't have enough money, but because more than 1.3 million gold coins could buy something better than Void Crane Feathers.
Do you want to continue to increase the price? Is it worth paying for someone to make the armor after buying it? Ding Kui was in a state of confusion.
Duk tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door.
Ding Kui looked up, and Yang Mian strode in, came to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Ding, please lend me a step to speak."
"Ah, okay." Ding Kui stood up and followed Yang Mian to the door inexplicably.
"Haha, it's like this. I just received a message from my father. If I give you two pairs of mahjong, room No. 1 will no longer bid for a price, or I will transfer the Void Crane Feather to you for 1.2 million.
"Yang Mian looked a little embarrassed.
"Hey, what did I say? It's just two pairs of mahjong. If your father needs it, I can deliver it to your door. Why bother? But how do you know that others will not continue to bid?" Ding Kui came to his senses and said,
Room No. 1 was reserved by Dingguo Gongfu.
"Okay, it's settled. As for the others, don't worry, no one will follow the price of Room No. 1." Yang Mian said with a smile.
"Tomorrow morning I will deliver two pairs of mahjong to the house. I will buy the feathers of the Void Crane for 1.3 million." Ding Kui did not want to owe Yang Mian a hundred thousand gold coins as a favor.
"Hey, my father emphasized to me that I shouted out this price as a little joke to suppress other people's bidding. One million and two hundred thousand is the price you shouted, and it will be transferred to you at this price. What the elders say
You must listen, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." Yang Mian put his arm around Ding Kui's shoulders and led Ding Kui back to Room 11, intending not to let Ding Kui discuss the price anymore.
Boom, the gong sounded.
"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Room 1 for purchasing the feathers of the Void Crane for only 1.3 million gold coins. This box of feathers can be used to make two smaller feather armors. It's so cheap and worth it." Lu Bu pressed.
Here are some beautiful words for example.
Ding Kui's heart moved after hearing this: Yes, I have black magic armor. I won't need the feather armor in a short time, at least not until I break through to the epic knight. After I break through, there will be no need to wear armor. Why not use this box of feathers?
Made into two pieces of feather armor for women, two "Yueshang" weapons cost more than 1.3 million gold coins.
"What did Yang Mian tell you? Why did you give up bidding?" Kong Ren asked Ding Kui after the bidding was completed. He was worried about Yang Mian's involvement in the matter.
"Ah, it's nothing. My elders made a little joke with me. Commander Yang helped me take pictures of the Void Crane's feathers. Others were too embarrassed to snatch them from him, so in the end they gave me an advantage." Ding Kui couldn't say it clearly.
"So that's what happened. I also guessed that room one would be one of the ten Dukes. If Yang Mian is going to sit in the hall downstairs, it's probably because someone from his family is here. Sure enough." Kong Ren understood.
"I can't buy the next things. I have to rush back to prepare some things, so I won't continue to participate in the auction. Brother Kong, do you want to come with me?"
After the Void Crane Feather appeared that surprised Ding Kui, he carefully looked at the auction list to see if there were any other omissions, and found that there were all high-priced items.
"I want to go downstairs to say hello to a few friends. You can go first. We are on different paths anyway." Ding Kui was not the only friend Kong Ren had in the capital.
Ding Kui was in a hurry to go back and pick out two better pairs of mahjong. Yang asked for the ones that would eventually be handed over to Dingguo Gong Yang Zhao. Naturally, he had to carefully select what he gave to the elder of the Elder Council.
"Master, didn't the Yang family help you take pictures of the Void Crane feathers? Why don't you leave without taking them?" Hua Nuan was thinking about Ding Kui's things.
Ding Kui, as if worried about Hua Nuan, said: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? The delivery of Void Crane's feathers is a matter between Room 1 and Lu's Chamber of Commerce, and it's not convenient for me to get involved. Besides, that thing is always in my heart.
It’s uneasy. You and Guang Sheng are the only ones around. What if someone robs you along the way? One million and three hundred thousand gold coins are enough to make people take risks.”
"Hey, is there anyone who dares to rob a fearless knight like you in broad daylight? If the flying general encounters a thief, he can't catch it easily." Hua Nuan was not satisfied with Ding Kui's expression.
"It's hard to say. Someone was following me a few days ago. Guess what? There were actually people from the indigenous duke's family. It's really hard to understand. The Ding family has never had any contact with the indigenous duke. After thinking about it, I only
A person who has a relationship with an indigenous duke can implicate me." Ding Kui whispered mysteriously.
"Who?" Hua Nuan was a little nervous.
"Eldest Princess, some of the followers are from the Tantai family. Young Dian Luan must have blood from the Tantai family." Ding Kui deliberately called the eldest princess by her first name.
Hua Nuan pretended to be calm under Ding Kui's gaze, "A member of the Tantai family? Could it be a mistake? You are the husband-in-law of the eldest princess. At that time, the emperor's consort, the Tantai family followed you.
Well? Maybe I want to help the eldest princess find out who you are."
