Chapter 303 Magic Weapons and Magic Martial Arts【5K】
After the first auction ended, since it was almost evening, there was less than an hour left before the second auction started.
Therefore, the inside and outside of the huge Starry Sky Auction Hall were directly transformed into a giant banquet hall.
A large number of pretty maids wearing high heels began to shuttle with elegant steps among the groups of nobles and wealthy businessmen in gorgeous clothes, providing these high-ranking figures with exquisite and delicious meals and drinks.
I saw that every maid's delicately made-up pretty face was filled with bright smiles, looking both hard-working and polite.
If these adults were happy and rewarded some golden dragons, it would be a considerable amount of money for them who were born as commoners.
What's more, if a few lucky ones can be spotted by these big shots, it is not impossible for them to fly directly onto the branches and become phoenixes.
In front of a handsome and well-developed young maid, after clearing the table carefully and meticulously, Lei Xiao, with an indifferent expression, casually threw a handful of golden dragons into the other party's tray.
Crash.
The sound of gold coins colliding is clear and touching.
The golden light flickered, reflecting the surprised white face of the young maid.
Not long after the young maid who had thanked her so much had just left, Kelly, wearing a decent red dress, walked over with the hem of her skirt held up.
I saw her first trimming her bun hairstyle, and then lowered her head to Lei Xiao and said respectfully: "Lord, the auction items that I just won and the remaining golden dragons have been handed over to my subordinates. Please go there." Check.”
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao stood up from the sofa and began to walk outside the auction house under Kelly's guidance.
Hu Zhi, Lin and Bai Wei, who had been hiding under the invisibility cloak, as well as Fang Hai, A Ling and A Bing who were at the table not far away, also followed one after another.
When Lei Xiao passed by Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan of the Broken Blade Knights, these two powerful knight leaders smiled and nodded, obviously they already had a lot of affection for Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao also nodded in return, the etiquette was quite decent. Since traveling through time, Lei Xiao has begun to slowly integrate into this different world.
Returning to the previous luxurious reception room, Lei Xiao discovered.
On the floor in the room, dozens of boxes of golden dragons were neatly placed, and on the high-end mahogany table, there were a series of exquisite brocade boxes arranged neatly.
"Lord, these are the items and golden dragons we obtained from this auction."
Kelly caressed Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, and introduced respectfully: "A total of 286,000 golden dragons, ten first-level magic potions, ten second-level magic potions, and a storage ring."
"Thank you for your hard work."
With a wave of his hand, Lei Xiao put all the items in front of him into his bag.
No hesitation, upgrade directly.
[Congratulations, your "First-Level Magic Potion: Strengthening Pill" has been upgraded to "First-Level Magic Potion: Strengthening Pill" with 105 pills! 】
……
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Magic Potion: Charging Pill" has been upgraded to 103 "Second-Level Magic Potion: Charging Pill"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Magic Potion: Blazing Pill" has been upgraded to "Second-Level Magic Potion: Blazing Pill" with 102 pieces! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Magic Potion: Earth Rock Pill" has been upgraded to 105 "Second-Level Magic Potion: Earth Rock Pill"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Magic Potion: Holy Light Pill" has been upgraded to "Second-Level Magic Potion: Holy Light Pill" with 100 pills! 】
……
Twenty magic potions were upgraded in one go. After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
Except for the first strengthening pill, the remaining nine first-level magic potions are all treatment types.
After the upgrade, five pills, including the body-strengthening pill, had undergone quantitative changes, while the remaining five had undergone qualitative changes.
In other words, Lei Xiao obtained a total of more than 100 strengthening pills, more than 400 first-level healing potions, and 5 second-level healing potions.
As for the ten second-level magic potions, the four of them, the Charging Pill, the Blazing Flame Pill, the Earth Rock Pill, and the Holy Light Pill, have all undergone quantitative changes, with each one reaching more than 100 pills.
The other six second-level healing potions have all undergone qualitative changes and been upgraded to third-level healing potions.
"Not bad, not bad. In addition to the newly acquired potions, my reserve of healing potions has also increased a lot!"
"Among them, not only were 410 first-order ones added, but the second-order ones also reached 343, and the number of third-order ones increased to 10."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the new space ring that shone with a faint splendor suddenly appeared in his hand.
Caressing the smooth ring body made of strange metal, Lei Xiao first opened the ring's attribute bar.
[Name: Eye of the Holy Meteor] (unbound)
[Grade: Level 3 Excellence (Blue)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect: The upper space pole "can store and take out any objects without life at will. The space capacity is 50 cubic meters"]
[Remarks: This storage ring is carefully crafted by Leng Yan, the famous fourth-level space magician. It is extremely valuable and is an absolute symbol of noble identity and status. It is also one of the common items that upper-class nobles show off to each other. 】
"It is indeed 50 cubic meters of space, which is enough for the strong men under my command to gain great convenience in daily life and combat."
Feeling the coolness coming from the surface of the shining bright ring, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and started upgrading directly.
The familiar prompt sound immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your "Tier 3 Accessory: Pupil of the Holy Meteor" has been upgraded to "Level 3 Accessory: Pupil of the Holy Meteor" with 100 pieces! 】
"Perfect! It really achieved the expected goal!"
After hearing the sweet prompt, Lei Xiao's face was filled with joy.
At this point, the first auction I just participated in can be described as a perfect ending!
"Everyone, come here."
In his joy, Lei Xiao immediately gathered his eight subordinates, Huzhang, Lin, Fang Hai, A Ling, A Bing, Chaoyan, Bai Wei, and Kaili, in front of him.
Lei Xiao waved his hand and began to pass the shining storage rings to the hands of his subordinates one after another.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
They respectfully accepted the ring handed over by Lei Xiao, and all the subordinates' faces were filled with joy, and they saluted Lei Xiao in unison.
"You're welcome, you can take these as well and use them at your own discretion at critical moments."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then piled all kinds of magic potions, magic scrolls and other valuable items on the entire wooden table.
For a moment, the long mahogany table was surrounded by strange fragrances and colorful, making people feel dazzled.
"As expected of a lord, he is indeed inhumane..."
Looking at the pile of precious items on the table that were rarely seen on a daily basis, Chaoyan's small mouth opened slightly, obviously falling into a sluggish state.
The other subordinates all had similar looks and nodded their heads.
At this moment, all the subordinates felt the refreshing aroma, which was the intoxicating smell of golden dragon.
Under the aura of Lei Xiaohao, every subordinate present received an illusion cloak, a ring of concealment, five first-level healing potions, five second-level healing potions, and five wind eyes. Pills, five Ice Return Pills, three-level magic scrolls: two scrolls each of Advanced Fire Explosion Bomb, Dark Light Explosion, and Light Healing Technique, and ten thousand gold dragon coins in change.
Needless to say, these items alone, plus the storage ring itself, are easily worth more than a million gold dragons.
Of course, for the blazing pills that Chaoyan longed for, which could increase the effect of fire spells, Lei Xiao immediately gave him 30 pills.
"In this way, every major expert under my command has 50 cubic meters of storage space and a lot of reserves. In the future, whether in adventures, battles, or on the battlefield, they can have more storage space. It’s easy!”
Amidst the thanks from all the subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Kelly prepared another sumptuous dinner, and Lei Xiao and his party simply started to feast in the luxurious living room.
During this process, the surveillance targets Klee and his son are currently at the same location in the Starry Sky Auction House and have not made any changes.
Therefore, Lei Xiao ordered the Nanxing and Nanyue sisters to come back for dinner after changing shifts, and also equipped each of them with a brand new storage ring, as well as many of the above-mentioned reserves.
At this point, Lei Xiao's ten main strong men have completed the equipment work of the storage ring.
"Lord, it's almost time, the second auction is about to begin."
After putting the last bite of the soft cheesecake into her mouth, Kelly happily touched the brand new storage ring on her green finger, and moved lightly in front of Lei Xiao.
"Let's set off now."
Lei Xiao put down the empty teacup in his hand and nodded slightly.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's face showed another look of expectation.
The second auction that follows is the real highlight. After all, the nobles with the most financial resources have not taken action before.
Surrounded by the subordinates, Lei Xiao returned to the starry sky auction house and noticed.
The banquet here has also ended. Most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen have returned to their seats, holding champagne or eating desserts, chatting and laughing with each other.
Only the young maids, either holding rags or brooms, were still doing the final cleaning work.
"Business as usual."
Lei Xiao nodded to Fang Hai and others beside him, and first started to walk towards his seat with Chao Yan, Kelly, and Hu Zhi under the invisibility cloak.
Not long after, just when Lei Xiao was sitting down.
The figure of Baron Polly, surrounded by several ceremonial staff, appeared on the auction stage again,
"Good afternoon, distinguished guests. Standing in front of you is still your most loyal and reliable friend, Baron Polly, who loves auctions."
I saw the middle-aged gentleman on the stage smile gracefully, caressing his chest and saluting, and continued: "Without further ado, compared to my ordinary and handsome face, I guess you are still interested in the person who is about to appear next. Rare auction items are more interesting.”
For a moment, the audience burst into boos, obviously not buying Baron Polly's boast.
However, it was precisely because of this cold joke that the atmosphere in the audience was instantly changed.
Seeing that the purpose of the warm-up event had been achieved, Baron Polly straightened the black tie on his white shirt, then coughed lightly and said loudly: "I announce that the second session of Fanyin City's joint auction will now officially begin! ”
Warm applause rang out, and Baron Polly also activated his special magic projection, making the already hazy starry sky auction house under the dotted dark blue dome become dreamlike.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a ceremonial staff walking professional cat steps, twisting his waist, and walked out of the stairs on the auction stage.
Lei Xiao, who was sitting in the front row, could clearly see that the ceremonial officer was holding a long sword box in his hands with great difficulty.
"Good guy, this good-looking etiquette officer has actually reached the peak level of the first level. He has no problem fighting two or three ordinary strong men alone."
"However, judging from his somewhat reluctant expression, the weapons in the sword box should be quite heavy, right?"
Vaguely feeling the aura emanating from the other party, Lei Xiao looked interested.
"Everyone, please take a look."
Baron Polly took the sword box easily and took out the weapons inside.
At this point, a flaming red broad-bladed sword caught the eyes of everyone present.
"A weapon? I wonder what's so special about it?"
Lei Xiao looked at the colorful and generous sword blade and suddenly became interested.
This sword is obviously much thicker than ordinary one-handed swords, and the red color it exudes is as if it has just been taken out of a hot blacksmith's furnace. It looks quite special.
Just as Lei Xiao observed this, he saw Baron Polly on the stage holding the sword with one hand. With a "whoosh", a blazing flame suddenly rose from the sword body.
A large number of sparks scattered out, reflecting a red glow around them.
This scene made some nobles and wealthy businessmen in the back row of the audience couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.
"As you can see, this is a magic weapon. As long as energy is injected into it, even a strong person in the physics department can stimulate the flames enchanted on the blade."
Baron Polly waved his sword lightly, drawing a scorching trajectory in mid-air, and said: "With this weapon, you will have an additional means of defeating the enemy in battle, even by surprise. , it is not impossible to defeat the enemy directly on the spot.”
"Under certain circumstances, this sword can also be used as a torch and fire source. It is a must-have helper for adventures. With a magic weapon in your hand, you will definitely become the most handsome guy in the team."
< br>
"In addition, the sharpness of this long sword itself has reached the third-level quality level, and its various benefits can be said to be countless."
Baron Polly held out a beautiful sword flower and said with an elegant smile: "The base price of this sword is 30,000 gold dragons, and the price will be increased by 2,000 gold dragons each time. Please bid."
Jingle bells… Jingle bells…
As soon as Baron Polly finished speaking, silver bells rang out one after another around Lei Xiao.
Listening to the dense crisp sounds around him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Regarding magic weapons, I have already learned about them in detail before.
Although this special weapon allows a strong person in the physics department to use the magic attached to the weapon itself, its practicality in battle is not very high.
Firstly, the magic attached to the weapon is weak and it is difficult to break through the energy shield on the third level and above strong people.
Secondly, activating the magic attached to the weapon also requires a lot of one's own energy, which is not proportional to the damage it can cause.
Therefore, many experts in the physics department disdain this kind of magic weapon. With all the extra energy, they might as well use their special skills again.
Furthermore, the energy fluctuations generated by the magic itself are very likely to allow the opponent to predict the owner's attack trajectory in advance, which will be self-defeating.
Of course, the most critical point is that the price of magic weapons is much higher than other weapons of the same class. The price/performance ratio is really too low.
But it is undeniable that, as Baron Polly said, this kind of magic weapon does have great practicality in certain situations.
"All in all, this is a weapon that is more gorgeous than practical, relatively rare, and expensive."
Looking at the flaming sword on the stage, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Since it is a rare weapon, I will naturally not miss it. After all, price is not a problem for me."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and joined the bidding team.
After five or six minutes of competition, Lei Xiao finally beat the crowd at the price of 80,000 golden dragons and successfully pocketed this third-level magic sword.
Next, a large number of ordinary third-level equipment appeared one after another. Lei Xiao was very familiar with most of them, as they were the 30 pieces he had provided before.
After a series of interventions by Lei Xiao, each piece of equipment reached a price of more than 30,000 gold dragons, which was almost 2 to 3 times the market price.
After all, for these aristocratic bosses, sometimes face is more important than the golden dragon.
Among them, the rich and fat nobleman in the back row came out on top again and "grabbed" three pieces of equipment provided by Lei Xiao himself.
During this process, the fat noble's fat face was beaming with joy, almost grinning from ear to ear. Lei Xiao, on the other hand, suppressed his smile and silently praised the other person in his heart, just shy of giving him an award. A certificate of merit.
Also during this process, Lei Xiao also managed to acquire five pieces of third-level equipment that were not provided by him, which was quite rewarding.
"The rare items listed below are the highlight of this auction. Dear guests, please be sure to keep your eyes peeled."
Having said this with a smile, Baron Polly once again took over a long and narrow brocade box. While pretending to be mysterious, he slowly opened it and began to introduce it in a serious manner: "For example, this precious item is sealed with a kind of Scroll of Rare Magical Martial Arts: Thunder Wind Chaser! ”
"It's actually a magic martial skill?"
Hearing the sound, a look of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face. (End of chapter)
