After a series of thrilling biddings, the final price of the diamond was set at 23,300 gold, a very happy number.
After Gallo started bidding, only one person had a stalemate with him for about four or five rounds, and then gave up. There was no plot of maliciously raising the price and then pretending to be a slap in the face.
When bidding with that opponent at first, Gallo was actually quite nervous.
He didn't even bid by citing a specific number. Instead, he clapped a small bell on his hand, which was given to him by the receptionist. If he needed to increase the price, he would just ring the bell and someone outside would quote the price for him.
It has to be said that this mysterious treasure shop understands the psychology of customers very well. When people are full of entanglements and hesitations, they often don’t want to talk. Switching to ringing a bell seems more considerate.
As Gallo increased the price, he kept thinking and hesitating.
If someone has been maliciously raising prices for this person, is this considered to be hindering his faith and hindering him from practicing the goddess's instructions?
If it were calculated, wouldn't the problem be very simple?
Gallo couldn't help but hope that the person would continue to raise the price, preferably to more than 100,000 gold, which was more than his entire net worth.
In this way, he has been convicted of obstructing his faith, and you can try to teach him to be a new person...
I don’t even have to spend a single copper!
Unfortunately, the man gave up in the end.
Although I didn't get the diamond for free, the final result was pretty good?
The total cost tonight is only a little over 30,000 gold, which can be paid with Gallo's own savings. He hasn't used the check from Mader yet. The situation is better than he expected. He can invest the money.
Go somewhere else.
Gallo had accomplished his set goal and was in a good mood. He lay down on the sofa and watched the final results of the auction with a lively attitude.
The little bell that was no longer needed was thrown carelessly on the table.
As for the other girls, they gathered together and chatted about some girlish topics, which seemed to be about dressing up. They were discussing how to match the gifts Gallo sent tonight and so on.
Gallo couldn't get a word in, so he could only focus on the auction.
The exhibits at the back are the highlight of the night. They are no longer ordinary decorations, but some magic props with exquisite workmanship, sophisticated materials and practical functions!
It must be very lively, right?
Behind the diamonds is a pair of bracelets inlaid with various colored jewels. The function is simple and practical, it is a space bag. The specific space is about the size of a suitcase, and it can only store dead objects such as money and jewels, not food.
Don't let kittens out.
Gallo naturally has no interest in this kind of thing. It is also a space bag, but it is far inferior to his own sleeves, whether it is the size of the storage space or the versatility of its functions.
Your own sleeves can store food and kittens!
The key is that such a space bracelet with weak functions was actually worth more than 50,000 gold coins in the end?
Gallo couldn't help but frowned...
The barrier I worked so hard to decorate used the most cutting-edge design ideas in the industry, and I spent a long time working on it. From design to material selection to layout, I really put a lot of effort into it.
Although Mrs. Carola spent almost 50,000 gold, what ended up in Gallo's hands was only 20,000 gold.
But such a palm-sized bracelet is actually sold for as much as its own barrier?
Maybe this is the auction?
Gallo felt a little unworthy for the buyer, and then asked the receptionist at the door whose sheep were so fat.
This person can spend 50,000 gold to buy a space bracelet, but can he also spend the same price to decorate a enchantment by himself?
The receptionist went to inquire about it for a while and came back to report soon.
It turned out that Gallo also knew the man who bought the bracelet, Sir Donald whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
As a jewelry family from the City of Plenty, Gallo had no doubt about Sir Donald's wealth, but he never expected that he would be so generous and spend a lot of money to buy such a thing.
"I'm so envious..."
He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. He didn't know whether he was envious of Sir's wealth or the guy who made the bracelet.
But the fat sheep is Sir Donald, so he would be too embarrassed to harvest other people's wool. After all, he has a good relationship with them and has been somewhat promoted by them, so he would be too embarrassed to make other people's money.
What's more, Jazz shouldn't have any need in this regard, otherwise he would have contacted him long ago instead of introducing Mrs. Carola to his door.
This fat sheep was difficult to deal with, so Gallo started paying attention to the next fat sheep.
The next auction is a brooch-shaped magic equipment. This thing can trigger a magic barrier when the wearer is attacked to resist the enemy's attack.
Protective magic equipment like this was originally very common. Basically every mage with some qualifications would be equipped with it. It was considered a very popular item.
However, this kind of equipment can often only be used by mages themselves, and has high maintenance costs and usage thresholds, so it is often one-time and not suitable for ordinary people.
But the difference with this brooch is that it can also be used by ordinary people, and the barrier it unfolds is very strong and can resist the attacks of master-level experts. At the same time, it is not disposable and can be recharged and used repeatedly.
You don't even need to find professionals to recharge, customers can do it themselves. They only need to go to the alchemy workshop and buy enough magic energy stones.
These features suddenly widened the qualitative gap between it and other similar products, and it became the target of competition among the wealthy people present.
Finally, the brooch was bought by a rich woman for an exaggerated price of 70,000 gold.
That rich woman happened to be an acquaintance of Gallo, Mrs. Carola.
Yes, the fat sheep that have already been harvested cannot be harvested again...
And Gallo felt very sorry for Mrs. Carol.
In fact, she doesn't need to spend this unjust money at all. She only needs to come to the church to see her every three days, and he can bless her with several layers of magic. It is definitely more reliable than this kind of thing.
What's more, she is accompanied by a team of guards from the Supreme True God Religion and has her own barrier at home. In fact, there is no need to buy this thing.
How insecure is this?
Gallo recalled a little more and remembered that his wife once mentioned that she also had a son who was married and had children...
However, her son had no interest in inheriting a billion-dollar family fortune. Instead, he became an archaeologist and moved to the Innocence City earlier than she did.
Therefore, Mrs. Carola's move to the Innocence City was not only to expand her business and protect her own safety, but also to reunite her family.
From this point of view, this necklace was probably bought for her son.
"Oh, a mother's child is like Genbao..."
Gallo sighed with a bit of envy.
The next exhibit on stage is really impressive...
It was a magic ring. Its specific effect was to initiate space teleportation when the wearer suffered a fatal attack and teleport him back to a predetermined safe point.
Even Gallo couldn't help but admit that this ring is really awesome!
This can be said to be the strongest and most stable means of saving life.
He was even a little envious of such an effect. If he had one of these, he would be much bolder in his actions.
Because space teleportation is an effect that cannot be achieved by divine magic, it is the patent of high-level mages.
Only eighth-level legendary mages have the opportunity to learn space teleportation. If you want to apply this top-notch magic skill to equipment and make it usable by ordinary people, you must be a more profound mage.
However, the promotional brochure did not introduce the origin and provenance of the ring in detail. Instead, it was treated as a gimmick and would only be announced at the auction.
Sure enough, the host on stage revealed the origin of the ring:
It was actually made by the leader of the Invoker School, the demigod mage, Invoker Karl!
After a moment of silence, the guests in the audience burst into a series of cheers, which even shocked Gallo.
And the next auction was even more jaw-dropping.
The starting price of this ring was 50,000 gold, but the first bid was raised to 100,000 gold, doubling the price.
The subsequent price increase will be directly in units of 10,000...
Gallo was stunned for a moment, never expecting that these people were so rich and so crazy.
Are demigods that amazing?
With his experience and position, it is indeed difficult to understand people's madness.
Although the people here are all wealthy and respectable social elites, they can still maintain some dignity in front of the legendary powerhouses, but to the demigod-level powerhouses, they are actually no different from all other living beings. They are all just waving their hands.
, an ant that can be erased at will.
This is the absolute difference brought about by personality.
Demigods in this world are an absolutely rare species. If you can hear their names, it's good. If you can meet them once, you are lucky. If you can say a few words, you will be proud of your ancestors!
So after Mader heard that Gallo needed money, he gave him 100,000 gold without hesitation. He was filled with guilt and felt that the gift was too little. He was sorry for Gallo's identity and status as a demigod-level powerhouse...
What's more, this demigod is not an ordinary demigod, but the most powerful demigod in this world that has been rumored and touted, Karl the Prayer.
No one knows exactly how old he is or what he has experienced. They only know that he is older than the empire, and that the empire was established with some help and influence from him.
Many people believe that his strength is comparable to that of angels, and he is probably the strongest person on the earth.
So when this ring with extraordinary origins, powerful functions and practicality appeared, people went crazy for it.
The atmosphere at the scene has become intense. Rich people like Sir Donald and Lady Carolla are vying to buy it. The price soon exceeded the 200,000 mark and was close to 300,000.
Even Jia Luo, who was watching, felt his mouth go dry and his eyes became hot.
"I really want to be a demigod..."
He muttered something lowly.
In the end, the ring was bought for a sky-high price of 330,000 gold coins by a mysterious guest who was sitting in the box like Gallo.
Gallo couldn't help but glance at the box curiously, wondering if he could collect some wool.
But when he looked over, he felt a strong wave of power coming from there.
He quickly and secretly activated the Divine Insight Technique and looked inside the box.
There were only three people inside, there was no atmosphere of cultists, and their origins were clean.
Judging from the colors emanating from their bodies, they were a teenager and two middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men exuded the aura of legendary powerhouses. They were already very powerful masters, but their movements were like two bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right protecting the young man.
Use legendary strong men as bodyguards?
And you can bring legendary powerhouses into the city, and even come to such public gatherings?
Is this guy the son of the city lord?
Gallo secretly reasoned.
After the young man took a photo of the ring, he gave a few instructions to the two legendary bodyguards beside him, and then left with one of them, leaving only one person to handle the finishing touches.
He didn't even wait to buy the ring, and seemed not to take the huge sum of more than 300,000 yuan seriously at all...
I'm afraid this is not a fat sheep, but a fat pig...
Gallo really wants to make friends with him. We are all of the same age, so we should be able to chat easily, right?
It's a pity that the young man left in a hurry, leaving no chance for anyone to catch up.
Gallo didn't really lick his face and chase after him. To be honest, he actually didn't know how to get in contact with this kind of person.
In his eyes, this thing is a walking treasure box...
How do humans communicate with treasure chests?
The auction outside has come to an end after experiencing its final climax.
At this point, everything in the brochure has been sold out.
However, the host on the stage did not announce the end of the meeting. Instead, he asked someone to bring up a display cabinet covered with red cloth.
"I am honored to inform you that there is another item entrusted by Lord Prayer for auction..."
After hearing this, the guests, who were already losing interest, suddenly cheered again.
The host untied the red cloth covering the display cabinet, revealing a crown placed underneath the glass partition.
It looks like it was worn by a high-ranking clergyman.
But the appearance is not exquisite, it is even very old, and it has the flavor of a historical relic.
"This is the private collection of Lord Prayer. He suddenly entrusted us with the auction the day before yesterday, so I didn't have time to write it into the brochure, so I put it at the end. I treated it as a surprise and presented it to everyone."
The host gave a simple explanation and then smiled, indicating that everyone could bid.
"The starting price is also 50,000 gold, and the lowest bid is 10,000 gold. Everyone can start."
The guests in the audience were stunned and couldn't help asking in astonishment:
"What's the specific function? What's the specific origin? Is this a cultural relic? Or some kind of magic prop?"
"Since it is the treasure of the supplicant, there must be an explanation, right?"
"Yeah, what's the point of selling it at this time?"
Facing everyone's doubts, the host spread his hands with an innocent look and said:
"Sorry, I would also like to tell you what it is, if I know..."
"In fact, Lord Prayer didn't tell us its origin..."
