Chapter 304 The second finale item [5K]
Staring closely at the long and narrow brocade box in Baron Polly's hand, Lei Xiao's face was filled with surprise.
For me, who is both a magician and a martial artist, this auction item is as if it was tailor-made!
While Lei Xiao was overjoyed, Baron Polly had slowly taken out the items from the brocade box.
"It is indeed a skill scroll!"
Looking at the small scroll with purple brilliance all over its body, Lei Xiao was so excited that he first took a sip of the sweet fruit wine handed to Chao Yan, and then nodded thoughtfully.
As he gained a better understanding of the world, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
The methods of making skill scrolls and potion formulas are quite different but both are extremely difficult and cumbersome.
Not only does it require the maker to be thoroughly familiar with the skill itself and practice it to a great level, but it also requires a lot of time and a special energy operation method to engrav the mastery and understanding of the skill in detail on a special scroll.
This production process often needs to be calculated in years, which consumes a lot of energy from the manufacturer.
So, the problem arises.
In such a long period of time, a strong person with good skills can completely teach others in a more convenient way by teaching by words and deeds to achieve the same thing. There is no need to go to great lengths to create skill scrolls. .
After all, the scroll itself required for the skill scroll is no less difficult to create than a magic potion of the same class.
Therefore, compared to humans, skill scrolls are often more popular among races with longer lifespans such as elves and dwarves.
There is also a theory that the method of making skill scrolls originated from these other races and then spread to the human race.
Because of this, in the human kingdoms, because skill scrolls are very rare, the price can be said to be very high.
However, even though its effect is magical, it can master an unfamiliar skill instantly.
But for most powerful people, it would be more practical to learn skills from a master slowly.
After all, if all is converted into time cost, the time cost of buying a skill scroll and slowly saving money is far greater than the time cost of directly learning skills from a teacher.
The same is true for the manufacturer. The time cost and capital cost of making a skill scroll by himself are enough to easily earn back several times the money of selling the skill scroll.
Of course, for people like Lei Xiao who are not short of money, it is exactly the opposite.
This kind of scroll that can learn skills instantly is obviously a perfect thing!
"The most important thing is that this is an extremely rare magic and martial arts book, which is just right for people like me who are both magic and martial arts masters to use!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but rubbed his hands excitedly.
While Lei Xiao was excited, Baron Polly on the auction stage smiled gracefully and said: "Haha, everyone, as the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and as for the rest, I don't need to say more, right? ”
"The overlapping of these two rare labels, the magic martial arts and the skill scroll, is enough to prove how precious this item is, especially for some distinguished guests who like to collect, it is a highly valuable collection. ”
After whetting the appetite of the nobles in the audience, Baron Polly said calmly: "The base price of this item is 100,000 gold dragons, and the price will be increased by 5,000 gold dragons each time. Please start bidding."
< br>
As soon as Baron Polly said this, a dense and crisp sound of silver bells sounded around Lei Xiao.
Looking around calmly, Lei Xiao noticed.
Basically all the nobles who pressed the silver bell were concentrated in the booth area in the front row.
Even those powerful nobles who have never taken action before have begun to have feelings.
After all, this kind of magic martial arts skill scroll is too rare. For some nobles who like to show off, the collection value far outweighs its practicality.
The ordinary nobles and businessmen in the back row could only sigh and shook their heads helplessly.
For them with limited funds, this is undoubtedly an extremely luxurious behavior.
Not long after, when the price of the skill scroll climbed all the way to 260,000 gold dragons, Lei Xiao rang the silver bell leisurely.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the price rise at this time had begun to slow down, and it was the best time for him to take action.
Without any surprise, Lei Xiao finally successfully pocketed this magical skill scroll at the price of 300,000 golden dragons.
"After selling the thirty pieces of third-level equipment just now, excluding the purchased magic weapons and five other pieces of third-level equipment, I already have a total of nearly 3.2 million golden dragons."
"From this, it is not a problem to spend only 300,000 gold dragons. On the contrary, it feels a bit too cheap."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in a leisurely way.
His move once again caused a commotion among the surrounding nobles.
Most of the nobles present only carried 500,000 to 600,000 golden dragons, while Lei Xiao spent a total of 850,000 golden dragons on just a storage ring and a skill scroll.
Such a huge sum of money is already the total income of a powerful aristocratic family over the past few years, not to mention the astronomical price of 300,000 golden dragons to buy a nearly useless magic skill scroll...
Looking at the indifferent Lei Xiao, these ordinary nobles only had one word left in their minds: trench!
You know, this money is enough to maintain a thousand-man garrison for several years!
At the same time, many nobles, including Lei Xiao's two targets, Tina and Ryan, looked at Lei Xiao with admiration.
A group of powerful nobles in the front row, headed by the eldest elder of the Xuansen family, cast disdainful looks one after another.
Hey, he's just a dandy kid from some noble family, sneaking out to spend money extravagantly.
This pushy young man has probably used up all the golden dragons in his body, right?
Haha, forget it, it looks like there will be one less naive competitor in the next auction.
"Okay, distinguished guests, please take a look at the next auction item."
Not long after, Baron Polly took another metal tray covered with red velvet cloth.
The ceremonial staff on the side lifted the red cloth, and two round fruits with dark blue bodies came into view.
"This should be a treasure of heaven and earth, right?"
Looking at the strange round fruit, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
The surface of this dark blue strange fruit is covered with faint golden lines. Surprisingly, these golden lines sometimes flicker on their own, just like the endless dreamy starry sky.
"As you can see, these are a pair of recently picked star-striped fruits."
Baron Polly carefully held up the silver plate and began to introduce: "This magical fruit will only mature on full moon nights and when the stars are most dazzling, and it will only grow on the top of the mountain closest to the starry sky. , if not picked in time, it will automatically fall off and rot at dawn, which is extremely delicate. ”
After finishing speaking, Baron Polly first handed the tray in his hand back to the female etiquette person next to him.
Then, he put on a white glove, gently lifted up a star-patterned fruit, and continued to show it: "To be honest with you, the design inspiration for this huge starry sky auction house comes from this rare fruit. of fruit.”
"At the same time, the Star Pattern Fruit is also one of the necessary materials for refining various third-level magic potions. In this regard, all the alchemists here must understand the preciousness of this thing better than I do, right?"
As soon as Baron Polly said this, several old nobles in the audience who wore alchemist badges on their chests couldn't help but swallowed and nodded with fiery eyes.
"It's actually a star pattern fruit?"
And Lei Xiao's face once again showed a hint of surprise.
This is one of the necessary materials for refining the third-level magic potion formula that I have, the Star Pattern Magic Pill!
"If the territory can be mass-produced, this kind of potion is similar to the Rose Condensation Pill and can permanently improve strength. As long as it is successfully transformed into a fourth-level potion, it will be combined with the Holy Blessing Pill obtained previously.
The peak third-level experts under my command can naturally reach the level of fourth-level experts! ”
While overjoyed, Lei Xiao put down the goblet in his hand and continued to think.
"Through Lin's unremitting efforts, more than half of the materials for refining the Star Pattern Magic Pill have been collected. However, there has been no news about the most important and rarest material, the Star Pattern Fruit."
< br>
"If I can put this pair of star pattern fruits into my bag and find the last few relatively hard-to-find materials, I will be very close to successfully producing the star pattern magic pill!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao secretly made up his mind.
I am bound to get these two star-marked fruits!
Not far away, Baron Polly first put the star-patterned fruits back into the tray, and then said with a smile: "The base price of this pair of star-patterned fruits is 120,000 gold dragons, and the price will be increased by 5,000 gold dragons each time. Please start." .”
After Baron Polly finished speaking, the gray-haired aristocratic old alchemists immediately rushed to press the silver bells in their hands.
You know, this kind of star pattern fruit is extremely rare in the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Whether it is sold at a high price to those in urgent need or used as a barter, it can be said to be hard currency among alchemists.
For an alchemist, nature is a rare good thing!
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded towards Fang Hai who was waiting not far away.
Because of the storage ring and magical martial arts, I was bidding on these big items.
In order to be less eye-catching, it was natural for Fang Hai to take action at that table.
Not far away, Fang Hai understood and immediately pressed the silver bell on the table.
Jingle bells… Jingle bells…
"Then, the ownership of these two star-patterned fruits belongs to the distinguished guest at table 25!"
After a rather fierce competition for ringing the bell, Baron Polly's magnetic voice accompanied the performance.
With the support of Lei Xiao's strong financial resources, Fang Hai finally managed to get two star-marked fruits into Lei Xiao's bag at the price of 250,000 golden dragons.
Hearing the sound of Baron Polly's dust settling, the old alchemists who had failed in the bidding gave Fang Hai a vicious look.
It can be said that I have a lot of thoughts and I can't get angry at all.
Speaking of ordinary auction items, they couldn't compete with the young man at table 8.
As for the alchemy materials, they couldn't compete with the burly old man of the same age at table 25.
Together, these aristocratic lords, who are hundreds of years old in total and usually sit high in their respective fiefdoms, are here to be the atmosphere team?
"Dear distinguished guests, please note that you must keep your eyes open. The next auction item is one of the highlights of this auction."
On the auction stage, Baron Polly stroked his curly beard and once again showed his iconic mysterious smile.
When curious eyes came over one after another, Baron Polly took a long wooden tray from the hands of the etiquette staff, and slowly opened the golden silk covering it.
At this point, a staff with a strong flash of color caught everyone's eyes.
"A staff that is obviously higher than the third level?"
Looking at the staff in Baron Polly's hand, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded.
This is a short cyan metal staff, about one meter in length. At the top of the staff, there is a fist-sized, crystal clear light blue crystal inlaid at the top.
A touch of cold air rose from the surface of the blue crystal, forming a hazy mist around it, which looked quite strange.
As soon as this staff came out, it immediately caused a low exclamation in the audience.
Even a layman can tell that this staff is obviously not extraordinary!
"As you can see, this is a fourth-level staff forged by a well-known magic craftsman."
Looking with satisfaction at the surprised expressions of the nobles in the audience, Baron Polly smiled gracefully and said: "What's even more valuable is that the top of this staff is inlaid with an extremely rare ice gem."
"With the blessing of ice gems, in addition to the original magic amplification and the basic function of accelerating spell casting speed, this staff also has a considerable amplification effect on ice and water magic. In the face of ice and water magic, It also has good resistance to water magic.”
"In short, no matter whether you are a powerful magician of any attribute, if you own this magic weapon, you will immediately become the focus of envy. Of course, its price is not cheap."
Baron Polly gently waved the auction item in his hand to display it, and continued: "Without further ado, the base price of this staff is 300,000 gold dragons, and each increase is 20,000 gold dragons. Please go ahead."
"Has level four equipment finally appeared?"
Looking at the fiery eyes of the nobles around him, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
In the storage space, there are two level 6 weapons, a level 5 sword Rolandel, and nearly seventy pieces of level 4 equipment.
This rather impressive fourth-level staff was naturally not enough to make him scream in surprise.
"However, this is still a brand new level four weapon that has not been upgraded. No matter what changes occur after the upgrade, it will be a great help to me."
Listening to the dense ringing of silver bells around him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to Fang Hai again, gesturing for him to join the bidding crowd.
After about five minutes, there was a series of crisp sounds.
The price of this fourth-level staff has climbed to the height of 600,000 gold dragons.
Lei Xiao, who raised the goblet again, looked around leisurely and noticed.
Those who are still bidding at this stage are except for their subordinate Fang Hai.
There are only a few powerful nobles left, headed by the elder of the Xuansen family.
During this process, seeing that Lei Xiao had not rang the bell, the elder of the Xuansen family could not help but reveal a proud smile on his face.
It seems that this stupid young man really has no money!
Next, it's naturally time for them, the high-ranking nobles, to show off!
However, before Elder Xuansen was happy for long, he was surprised to find out.
At table 25 in the back row, a burly old man appeared out of nowhere. Not only had he snatched those stubborn alchemy materials, but now he had to fight for this fourth-level staff!
As the price continued to rise, the cold sweat on the forehead of the eldest elder of the Xuansen family also began to increase.
"The price is so high, but the old man at table 25 still rings the bell without hesitation and doesn't care at all about the golden dragon in his pocket?"
While ten thousand frost sheep were rushing past in his heart, Elder Xuansen discovered it again.
At this time, it seemed that he and Fang Hai were the only ones still ringing the bell.
"The price of this damn old thing is about to reach 800,000 gold dragons. Why don't you stop?"
Looking at Fang Hai not far away who was like a merciless bell-ringing machine, the veins on Elder Xuansen's head popped out, and he cursed in his heart: "Do you really think that money comes from strong winds? Why did you encounter so many difficulties today? Stubble?”
Although the Great Elder Xuansen has just broken through the shackles and reached the level of a fourth-level powerhouse, he has already entered the ranks of Lengyan's top nobles.
However, after all, the time for his promotion was still short, and most of the funds in his hands came from the Xuansen family. Due to the restrictions of the family, he could not compete with Lei Xiao as he pleased.
"Hey, let's just give it to the other party this time."
When the price really reached 800,000 gold dragons, the trembling hands of the eldest elder of the Xuansen family finally stopped raising their hands.
Instead, he snorted disdainfully and comforted himself in his heart: "Well, there is still a chance down there. Now the old, one young and two young golden dragons should have very few left. The next step will be here. It’s time for me to show off!”
"Then, congratulations to our Lord at Table 25 for obtaining the ownership of this fourth-level staff for the price of 800,000 gold dragons!"
Just listen to Baron Polly's loud voice, once again rippled back and forth in the huge starry sky auction house.
"Dear distinguished guests, we have finally arrived at this exciting moment. What is about to appear next is the last item of the second auction!"
Baron Polly on the auction stage once again showed his signature elegant smile, which was quite mysterious.
In the passage dedicated to the auction table, there was also a ceremonial person holding a tray and began to walk out.
Judging from the deliberately slow pace, it was obviously done deliberately for the effect of the scene, which can be said to whet the appetite of the nobles in the audience.
“Is it finally the last auction item?”
Lei Xiao nodded with interest and thought to himself: "Since it is the finale of the second game, it must be something extraordinary, right?"
Thinking of this, a look of expectation suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
On the auction stage, after receiving the tray handed by the etiquette staff, Baron Polly smiled gracefully and slowly opened the golden silk covering the tray.
