Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth, Hill is not afraid of such things as bidding
Hill felt that the people in the high-end boxes around him were probably a little bored waiting. Unless it was a special antique, nobles rarely bought things from merchants, especially those at auctions.
The people in the booth below were indeed robbing fiercely, but the people in the box, except for the occasional lady buying some gems, few said a word, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
High-level professionals are unlikely to be interested in these low-level spell materials. They have their own channels to obtain such things and do not need to pay high prices at auctions.
Those gems are all incomplete. Although they are beautifully polished, the mage can recognize them at a glance and can only be used as useless decorations.
However, the gems of Faerûn do have a special feeling, which is different from those of Trasil.
Trasil formed his own unique elemental crystals probably because of the instability of the world's laws, instead of integrating these elemental powers into various ores.
Therefore, Trasil's mages can directly use elements to cast spells, consuming at most some elemental crystals, while Faerun's must waste gems. So that those ordinary gems that are well polished will be missed by people in the high-end boxes upstairs.
acquisition.
After all, many aristocratic women who are just ordinary people only dare to use this kind of gemstones to make jewelry.
Even if you can afford high-end gemstones, they cannot be used and can only be hidden in treasure houses. If you really dare to make them into jewelry and show them off on the market, it will definitely not be to show your nobility, but to be delivered to your door.
The auctioneer looked up and realized something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he quickly took out the property.
Speaking of which, it was probably a one-man business. This auctioneer was not as outstanding as the Woking Chamber of Commerce in Ferenriel, so he just sold things dryly.
The first property he took out was a storefront located in this big market, and he packed it with three stores. The business association had a lot of money and bought three two-story stores near the auction house and opened them together.
Some businessmen below also tried to quote prices, but unfortunately they were quickly silenced by the wealthy men above.
Even in Silver Moon City, the price quoted for tens of thousands of gold coins is scary enough.
The land prices in Silver Moon City have indeed risen to incredible levels.
Hill could hear the discussion next door. It seemed that the people who bought these stores were big businessmen from Waterdeep City.
Sure enough, after Alustriel established the Silvermoon Alliance, many people thought that Silvermoon City would become the center of the Northland.
Hill turned his head and looked outside his door. The female thief who tried to find out about Hill's movements was taken away.
This kind of one-way soundproof array requires an overall barrier, but not everyone can use it. It is obvious that this is the official auction house of Silver Moon City.
The female thief's movements were very subtle, but she could not hide them from Alustriel, who was staring at Hill.
Alustriel would not engage in stupid operations such as indulging his enemies and then secretly following her to find her accomplices. Even if no clues could be extracted from the female thief's mouth, she would not be allowed to cause trouble in important places.
Moreover, if this thief can sneak into an official organization, there will definitely be many people helping her. Based on her background, she can find a lot of bugs and spies.
Hill stopped paying attention and turned to look downstairs.
The auctioneer seemed to start selling mostly stores in the north, and then began to auction higher-value spell materials and supplies.
Hill looked at it for a while and then opened his mouth to buy some seeds of rare plants.
As for those materials, Hill has no interest in them. This chamber of commerce seems to prefer selling magical animal materials.
Moreover, the method was very rough, most likely massacre or even genocide. Hill could feel the resentment in the materials after just a few glances.
Those resentments even polluted the plant materials nearby.
Hill is a little confused. Why are these materials still being sold in Silvermoon City, which is dedicated to Melikai and Lari? Can't they see it?
This is not a problem that can be solved by purification spells.
If he hadn't felt that those seeds were likely to go dormant completely due to these resentments, Hill wouldn't have opened the door to buy them.
The auction house shamelessly mixed precious seeds with ordinary seeds, claiming that they could create a growing environment for rare trees.
It's just a useless smell.
If these rare plants are bought by other mages, they will be planted in a specific magic botanical garden. Those ordinary seeds are of no use at all.
Hill silently glanced at the auctioneer. He felt that this was not Alustriel's character.
Although that lady has many shortcomings, she has never been so petty.
Neither does the Golden Dragon or the Silver Dragon. They may have never seen such low-level things with their own eyes.
Hill now somewhat understands why there will be problems in Silvermoon City in the future. The person in charge may not be a bad person, but he is a bit small-minded and reluctant to let go of anything. He also likes to pass the danger and responsibility to others.
If it were Alustriel, she would definitely inform the two dragons that these things were not suitable for sale.
Although Jin Long will not give up her property easily, she will not lose her position because of a few gold coins as she is from the good camp. Moreover, she has a very good temper and can usually be understood as long as she communicates well.
Even her partner is actually quite generous. They both love money but they are not the kind of dragons who are greedy for money.
Hill sighed softly. Sure enough, everything has a precursor.
The auctioneer quickly took out another part of the property. This time it was residential houses in the city.
The first batch of houses to be released were several three-story apartment buildings on the South Bank.
The price of the property is not expensive, but the location is very suitable for graduate students of the Magic University.
Hill became a little interested and pressed the square button on the table in front of him that said 'Auction Item Details'.
Then he carefully looked at the detailed three-dimensional map that floated directly in front of him. This was probably a preferential treatment for people in the noble box, and he could see the specific appearance of the property.
Hill thought about it and decided to buy one near the university library. There is a door there that you can walk in directly.
Although the two apartments by the Ruiwen River look more refined, Hill still feels that it is better to be close to the road and just take a walk every day, and this apartment building looks larger.
He wasn't sure he would live here, but what if there wasn't anything more suitable?
The two apartment buildings by the river were auctioned first, with the starting price of 1,000 gold coins. No one was snatching up each apartment after it reached 2,000 gold coins. It seems that 2,000 is the maximum amount that the market price can bear.
The asking price of the apartment that Hill was interested in was 200 lower. He was a little surprised. He took a closer look at the appearance of the apartment building. It was obvious that this apartment was much larger.
Then he realized that those two sets were relatively close to Moon Bridge.
According to the thinking of this world, it is probably safer over there and Alustriel can be rescued at any time.
Hill will trust himself more when something happens, but of course his judgment will be wrong.
He listened to the quotations for a while. It seemed that most people were choosing the place he was interested in as an investment, and they were shouting at the lowest price. Hill tentatively called out 1,500, and easily received it.
It seems that the shouting is too high.
Hill sighed, he was really not good at this.
He glanced at Aglaia, who was trying hard to build a little mythical lock in the pendant, and dejectedly gave up the idea of cultivating her. The Poseidon of Trasil was the one with the real wealth.
During practice, the highest quality water-based materials are used.
After a few trials, the auctions began to offer better properties, small farms located outside the city.
Hill looked at the location on the map.
There are several farms located in the south, not far from the apartment building he chose. After leaving the city, even if you walk, it will take almost an hour to get there.
It's not big, but if Hill only lives here for 1 or 2 years, it will be enough for him.
He decided to look at other people's quotes first.
The small farms in the south are obviously safer, but the ones in the north are sold for higher prices, even more than 5,000 gold coins!
Hill looked at it several times in confusion, and found that it was indeed from the north!
Over there in spring, there will be hungry orcs heading south!
He decided to go back and ask Linn.
Then he spent 3,500 gold coins to acquire a small farm located on the corner. It was a little more expensive than others, but this was because he had proof of land that he could continue to develop.
It's just that the land in the North is not that easy to develop. Even if it is developed, there is no tall enough wall to stop sporadic thieves, so many people still choose mature small farms, and the price is only more than 2,000.
Hill didn't care about this aspect. He just discovered that there was a small river a little further over there that could go around to the Raven River in the north.
He can directly expand the farm there. If he needs to come to Silvermoon City again in the future, he can take a boat from the sea to the Riven River.
As for plowing the soil for farming, Hill is not even afraid of specialized planting druids.
Hill was not interested in the large farm at the back. The cash crops they planted were actually worth more than the farm itself. But to Hill, it was not very necessary.
He did understand something more or less. The big farms in the south were the most valuable.
It seems that those small farms do have other meanings, but Lin Enti never mentioned them. Maybe this meaning is only related to the nobles.
Hill quickly cheered up, and the high-end housing on the South Bank was finally available.
He took a fancy to a garden villa also located near the Great Library.
Although the area is not very large, it is about 1,000 square meters.
The three-story main house covers an area of more than 300 square meters, followed by a 100-square-meter two-story servant's room on the side, and then there is the garden green space, which also contains a magic botanical garden of more than 100 square meters.
There are many people who are as interested in this property as Hill, but this kind of Hill has nothing to be afraid of.
He just doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and it would be much easier if he just raises the price.
The starting price of this house is 5,000 gold, which is more expensive than other houses in the same location, probably because of the magic garden.
Hill prefers that the house is connected to a waterway to the Raven River, which matches his farm outside.
He pressed the button to add 100 slowly and slowly.
