Chapter 117 Soul Bone Troubles (4)
Notting City Central Square.
City Lord Xiao and Deputy City Lord Romanyake have already set up a temporary stage here to display the soul bones to be auctioned:
The head soul bones from Mo Chun Niu.
And the surroundings were already surrounded by soul masters and people from small families.
It has only been three days since the news of the soul bone auction was spread, but Noting City has become completely lively. Many soul masters from other cities have rushed over during this period, just to see the soul bones. His true appearance, and thinking about whether he could fish in troubled waters.
Notting City's patrol team and the guardian knights of Notting City's Wuhun Branch also surrounded the outermost edge of the stage to jointly maintain public order.
As for Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina and the other soul masters from the Notting Adventure Guild, they were guarding the edge of the stage, always alert to the nearby soul masters.
Tang San stood close to Zhou Qing, scanning the soul masters outside the auction stage, and said with emotion: "The students and teachers from Noting College combined, plus the people from Notting Guild, There are only about a hundred adventurers, but now a soul bone has attracted more than five hundred soul masters, and there are even more than twenty people with soul power fluctuations above level 30."
"We really underestimated the value of soul bones."
It was also the first time that Zhou Qing truly felt the preciousness of soul bones. Even at the hundred-year level, there were actually such soul masters coming from other places.
Even if the time had not only been three days, the news could have spread further, and even soul masters at the level of Soul Sect and Soul King might have arrived.
You must know that soul bones are rare in today's Douluo era. Even titled Douluo, most can only have one soul bone.
Perhaps the Titled Douluo may not look down on the hundred-year-level soul bone and will not absorb it on his own, but if he really sees it, he may have some thoughts of fighting for it.
This is something that can increase the heritage of the family and sect!
"Welcome soul masters from Notting City and other cities near Notting City to participate in Notting City's soul bone auction."
Romantina's father, Romanyak, came from the left side of the stage. Climbing up the side stairs, we came to the center of the stage, where the soul bone of the head was displayed to everyone.
“This soul bone was discovered by my daughter when she was helping people hunt for soul beasts. Fortunately, nothing too tragic happened... However, due to some reasons, this soul bone was not It suits me and my daughter, so I plan to auction it.”
A brief introduction. After learning about the origin of this head soul bone, Romanyak also knew that the soul master below was a little impatient, so he shouted loudly: "Well, without further ado, the soul bone auction has officially begun!"
“Starting price: 200,000 gold soul coins!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soul master shouted: "Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
The soul masters below all became excited, shouting one after another.
Tang San asked Zhou Qing beside him: "The price the city lord gave you back then was five hundred thousand gold soul coins, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded, "Judging from their excitement, this piece of soul bone can probably be sold for more than one million yuan in the end, but apart from the preparation expenses and the 'filial piety' to City Lord Xiao, Partly, Romanyak himself can get 700,000 to 800,000 gold soul coins.”
At this time.
The value of the soul bones has increased to nearly 820,000.
“Nine hundred thousand!”
The city lord from Falling Star City, Dales, directly added eighty thousand, raising the price to nine hundred thousand. For a moment, the whole place was silent.
For most civilian soul masters, two hundred thousand gold soul coins would take them more than half a lifetime to accumulate, while the soul masters who formed a small family only had a total savings of around seven or eight hundred thousand.
So, when the price reached more than 500,000 yuan, there were only a dozen family soul masters with some wealth in the audience who still insisted on the price.
For more than 800,000 yuan, only three parties are quoting.
The master of the Wuhun Branch Hall in Notting City: Mathieu Nuo.
Lord Xiao of Notting City, although he was one of the people presiding over the auction, he also asked his subordinates to disguise their identities and participate in the auction.
Few people know about this.
If Zhou Qing and others had not been connected with Romantina, they would not have known about this matter.
The last party is Dales from Starfall City. Although he is a down-and-out nobleman from Starfall City, his skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so he can definitely be considered to have strong financial resources.
“Nine hundred thousand once!”
Romanyak hit the auction hammer, hoping that the price would be higher.
Matthewno has given up bidding.
City Lord Xiao’s men received the signal from City Lord Xiao’s eyes on the stage and increased the price by 20,000, bringing the price to 920,000.
“Nine hundred and seventy thousand.” Dales glanced at the guy who was facing him and was covered in a black cloak. He sneered and shouted to Romanyak and City Lord Xiao on the stage, "The price has been increased by 50,000 yuan. Others can no longer afford it. Let's finalize it quickly."
Romanyak looked at City Lord Xiao.
"City Lord Dales, you and I are the Lords of a city. In this kind of situation, we must be fair and just." City Lord Xiao chuckled and secretly signaled his subordinates with his eyes to continue to increase the price.
Aren’t old friends just for cheating?
You are the city lord of Star Luo Empire and Luo Xing City, and I am the city lord of Notting City in Tiandou Empire. Cooperation is fine, but we can’t have any overtly close friendship, right?
"Alas~"
Zhou Qing sighed slightly and said to Tang San beside him, "This City Lord Xiao is still greedy. He thinks that by virtue of being a 'like-minded person' with Dales His identity can make him suffer a small loss, but in this case, he cannot take advantage of it. ”
Tang San had been with Zhou Qing for a long time, and he had some understanding of all the sects involved.
He also heard the implication of what Dales said before was that he had seen that the man in black who increased the price was the entrustment of City Lord Xiao, and he hoped that City Lord Xiao would not be too greedy.
But what about City Lord Xiao?
Maybe I heard it, but I feel that my relationship with Dales is pretty good, so I think Dales should suffer from this small disadvantage. After all, they are of the same mind...
In an instant, there was a hint of resentment in Tang San's eyes, and he responded to Zhou Qing in a low voice, saying: "Can you stop giving some normal words strange-sounding meanings?"
Now Tang San regretted that when he communicated with Zhou Qing before, he unconsciously said a lot of four-character idioms, so that Zhou Qing learned them.
Then——
These four-character idioms were gradually given other meanings beyond the original meaning of the words by Zhou Qing.
Or obscene!
Or funny!
Or it’s ridiculous!
But judging from what they have experienced so far, it is consistent with the facts - extremely speechless!
"Life needs a sense of humor." Zhou Qing showed his white teeth and laughed, watching the man in black increase the price to one million gold soul coins.
Then, ten seconds passed, and Dales did not raise the bid, but quietly watched Romanyak holding the auction hammer on the stage...
