Chapter 305 The last finale item [5K]
On the auction stage where everyone was watching, when Baron Polly lifted the golden silk cloth, Lei Xiao noticed it.
What appeared among them was an exquisite brocade box the size of a palm.
"Judging from the size of the box, it is very obvious that the last auction item is a magic potion."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting in the audience, murmured to himself expectantly.
"Since it is the finale item, it must be a third-level magic potion, right? I wonder what kind it is?"
However, when Baron Polly opened the brocade box on the auction stage with a smile, the expectant expression on Lei Xiao's face suddenly became a little confused.
The magic potion that appeared in the brocade box was very familiar to Lei Xiao. It was a round and shiny Qi Condensing Pill.
"An ordinary second-level magic potion is actually the finale item of this second auction?"
Staring at the object in Baron Polly's hand with some surprise, the confusion on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.
When some of the knowledgeable nobles around Lei Xiao saw this, they all showed baffled expressions.
Especially the aristocratic old men who wore alchemist badges on their chests, and even wore special alchemist glasses. Their old faces pretended to be calm, but at the same time they couldn't hold back their curiosity and stretched their necks to look around.
However, these old nobles, who together were hundreds of years old, looked at it carefully for a long time, but still could not see the reason.
What was presented to everyone was indeed an extremely ordinary second-level magic potion.
For a moment, low voices of doubt and confused chatter suddenly started to appear one after another in the photo studio.
You know, the price of a second-level magic potion is almost the same as that of third-level equipment.
And before that, since even the fourth-level magic staff had appeared, then as the last finale item, it had to be a rare third-level magic potion.
But in the end, why is it just a second-level magic potion that is not on the same level at all?
All the nobles in the audience were puzzled.
Baron Polly on the auction stage smiled gracefully and explained: "Dear guests, no need to doubt your eyes. This is a second-level Qi Condensing Pill that is guaranteed to be fake."
"As for why a Qi Condensing Pill is chosen as the last auction item in this second auction, we have to mention the owner of this Qi Condensing Pill."
Baron Polly first re-covered the brocade box, and then said solemnly: "Its owner is none other than our respected Lord Orr of Fanyin City!"
"The Qi Condensation Pill provided by the Lord of Fanyin City?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Since the other party has disclosed his identity, there must be another mystery in it."
Not far from Lei Xiao, Baron Polly's magnetic voice rang out again: "You must all know that an ancient ruin of an unknown race was discovered near Fanyin City some time ago, right? In fact, what was discovered at that time The number of ancient ruins is not just one, but two!”
"As for the location of the other one, it is extremely secret. Only the Lord Orr knows about it, and it is in a completely new and unexplored state."
"Therefore, the distinguished guest who buys this thing this time will not only obtain the ownership of this Qi Condensing Pill, but also get the opportunity to explore unknown ancient ruins with His Excellency the Lord of Orr City! By then, any treasures obtained will Will be distributed equally!”
“Finally, this transaction has been approved by the Phytolacca family in written form and has been supervised by Fanyin City Phytolacca Trade Fair. Please feel free to bid. If any problems arise, Phytolacca Trade Fair will be responsible to the end. ”
As soon as Baron Polly's words came out, there was a strong commotion among the crowd in the audience.
Throughout the ages, there are countless lucky people who have found priceless equipment or treasures from the ancient ruins of various races. There is no need to elaborate on the benefits here.
Moreover, since the Phytolacca Trade Fair is overseeing the entire process, President Gale, who is a fourth-level powerhouse, will naturally come forward.
Coupled with the fact that the Lord of Orr City is a fourth-level strong man, in other words, as long as he gets this opportunity, he also has a precious opportunity to meet two fourth-level strong men who have been famous in the Cold Flame Kingdom for a long time!
The most important thing is that the power of these two fourth-level powerhouses who were born into nobles cannot be underestimated.
This is obviously a coveted opportunity for some ordinary low-level nobles and wealthy businessmen!
It is not difficult to see from this, whether from the perspective of wealth or connections.
The chain effect produced by this small Qi Condensing Pill indeed has the value of becoming the finale item of the second auction!
While the nobles and wealthy businessmen were all excited, Lei Xiao, who was located in the second row of the booth area in front, had a look of deep thought on his face.
Only Lei Xiao clearly understood that it was not just the Lord Fanyin City and these people here who were eyeing the ancient ruins.
There is also an extremely uncertain risk factor: that is the mysterious organization.
"From Kelly's previous description, we can know that due to the timely blockade of the news about the Lord of Fanyin City, few people knew the real details of the mysterious organization's attack on the exploration team at that time. It was only downplayed and described as an unsuccessful robbery. Treasure encounter ”
"This actually became a gimmick for the last auction of the Ancient Box."
Lei Xiao looked at Chao Yan, who was carefree and sipping orange juice, and fell into deep thought again.
"However, since the Lord of Fanyin City chose to make the matter of this second ruins public, it shows that he must have some precautions."
"I think so. The other party has nearly ten thousand Fanyin City garrison under his command. In addition, as a Leng Yan noble, he is protected by the Leng Yan royal family. Even if it is a mysterious organization, if it wants to attack him, it will probably be difficult. You have to think about it carefully.”
"After all, judging from the current situation, there is no open struggle between the mysterious organization and the Leng Yan royal family."
Looking at the blushing Chao Yan next to him, he drank a large glass of orange juice on his back. Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and continued to think.
"At this stage, the information I have is extremely limited. I will concentrate on dealing with the aloof Princess Lengyan. I will definitely get more clues from her."
"Speaking of which, why did the Lord of Fanyin City choose this time to make his mastery of the second ruins public? Isn't it enough to wait until the news has passed and organize a team to explore alone?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with some confusion.
Kelly, who was wearing a long red dress, came over from another table and whispered to Lei Xiao: "Lord, according to my father, this time, no matter whether it is the dragon hired by the lord of Fanyin City, The tooth mercenary group, other fourth-level warriors, and the carefully laid traps at night all cost a lot of golden dragons.”
"This directly led to a huge deficit in the accounts of Fanyin City Lord's Mansion."
Kelly lowered her voice a little more and continued: "So, the owner of Fanyin City is auctioning the right to explore the Qi Condensation Pill and the ruins this time, presumably to tide over this financial crisis."
"So that's it."
After listening to Kelly's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Good guy, because I am not short of money at all, I have ignored this key point.
"At present, it is certain that due to the killing of the two elders, Fanyin City Lord has forged a bloody feud with the mysterious organization. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Therefore, I naturally have the qualifications to explore the ruins this time. It is inevitable.”
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this, he heard Baron Polly's magnetic voice coming over again: "Dear guests, regarding the specific date of this visit to the ruins, the Lord Fanyin and Ningqi will be informed The recipient of the pill can decide on his own, so I won’t go into details.”
"So, let's start the most thrilling bidding session now."
On the auction stage, Baron Polly looked at the nobles and businessmen in the audience, all gearing up, and said with an elegant smile: "This Qi Condensing Pill, plus the opportunity to explore the ruins with His Excellency the Lord of Fanyin City. , the base price is 500,000 gold dragons, and the price is increased by 20,000 gold dragons each time, please start.”
"500,000 golden dragons..."
As soon as Baron Polly said this, most of the nobles and businessmen in the audience could not help but shake their heads and sigh, with expressions of regret on their faces.
Most of these people only carry 500,000 golden dragons on their bodies. In addition, some of them have been consumed before, making it obvious that they have not even reached this most basic threshold.
Among them, naturally included the rich and fat aristocrat who had just "defeated" Lei Xiao many times and happily obtained many of Lei Xiao's items.
Although he was short of money, he was unable to participate in the last game.
But looking at Lei Xiao, who was also motionless in the front row, the fat noble couldn't help but smile at the Dragon King, grabbed the champagne glass on the table, and drank it in one gulp, with a happy expression on his face.
It seems that this young man who is flamboyant and rich has no money. He has been in the limelight so many times in the past. I am afraid he will regret it in his heart now, right?
Hehe, let this hateful guy keep fighting with himself at the beginning, but now he finally suffers!
While the fat noble was joking in his mind, Lei Xiao, who was holding a large amount of gold, listened to the ringing of silver bells around him and did not immediately join the bidding crowd.
Currently, she still has close to 1.9 million golden dragons, and Kelly can still call 3 million at any time. Judging from the situation of the two auctions, she is undoubtedly very comfortable.
Lei Xiao thought about this leisurely and began to look around.
The people who rang the bell most happily were the senior nobles headed by the elder of the Xuansen family.
However, what surprised Lei Xiao was that the two knight captains, Tina and Ryan, who had only won a potion each before, also kept ringing the silver bells with fiery eyes.
Watching the two people rushing to move, Lei Xiao thought for a moment and then felt relieved.
For an independent knight group like them, which does not have sufficient funds, it is indeed a very attractive thing to not only get the opportunity to explore the ruins, but also get to know the high-ranking nobles who are fourth-level powerful men.
While Lei Xiao was thinking to himself.
The eldest elder of the Xuansen family can be said to fly up when ringing the bell, looking very proud of himself.
The old man, the young man and the two foolish young men have all run out of funds.
He, who has the strongest financial resources on the field, is naturally guaranteed to win.
Not long after, as the number of people ringing the bell became smaller and smaller, the gloomy gaze of the elder of the Xuansen family fell on Tina and Ryan, who were still chasing after them.
"Where did these two brats appear again? Is the leader of the remote knights at the peak level of the third level also qualified to compete with me?"
Thinking of this, the eldest elder of the Xuansen family snorted coldly and continued to ring the bell frantically.
Finally, when the price reached 700,000 gold dragons.
Tina, with a cold face, was defeated first. She bit her red lips tightly, looking unwilling but helpless.
These more than 700,000 golden dragons are not only the capital of the entire Blue Rose Knights.
And quite a few of them were the members of the Knights who were in a tight situation and worked together to make it happen.
Due to the recent tense border war, Leng Yan's recent defeat, and the power disputes between several princes.
The aristocratic men stationed in the area are working hard every day to strengthen the defenses in their territories, so much so that they have not injected funds into the Knights for quite some time.
And this competition for the right to explore the ruins is his last chance to stand up... If he continues, it won't take long before the entire Knights of the Blue Rose will cease to exist.
After a while, when the price was close to 800,000 gold dragons.
Not far away, Ryan lowered his hands helplessly and gave up the game.
Although they look wealthy on the surface, the actual situation of the Knights of the Broken Blade is not much different from that of the Knights of the Blue Rose.
Not only did the nobles withdraw their capital, but they were even asked to take out the regiment's equipment and food and give priority to supplying the garrison in the city.
When the angry Ryan went to argue with the other party, the other party looked confident and confident: The royal family asks us for this and that every day, and we have too much time to take care of ourselves. How can we care about you?
Thinking of this in their hearts, even though they didn't like each other, Tina and Ryan still sighed softly.
"Hey, those two brats finally gave up."
Upon seeing this, Elder Xuansen's old face showed an extremely proud expression, and he joked: "The recent border war is still unclear, and the power dispute in the royal capital has become more and more intense, so that many nobles who funded this half-hearted organization have Choosing to divest and self-insure”
"My family is like this, and you still dare to compete with me. You are really overestimating your capabilities!"
Staring at the two of them fiercely, Elder Xuansen said disdainfully in his heart: "Do you still think there will be a chance to turn around? Stop dreaming! I don't care about the life or death of you guys, but these two brats have always been It’s a pity that I wasted so many golden dragons while bidding with me.”
While Great Elder Xuansen was thinking to himself, he seemed to be the only one left in the entire auction house.
"Dear distinguished guests, the current price has reached 800,000 gold dragons. I wonder if there are any customers who are interested in this item?"
Baron Polly on the auction stage smiled gracefully and asked again.
As soon as Baron Polly finished speaking, Tina and Ryan shook their heads helplessly.
The Great Elder Xuansen looked extremely proud and urged impatiently: "Hurry up and announce it. I still have to discuss the details with Mr. Orr."
After finishing speaking, Elder Xuansen looked at Lei Xiao and Fang Hai who were not far away, as if demonstrating, with disdain on his face.
The fat noble on the other side looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent back, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he secretly mocked in his heart: "Hey, this kid really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. You must know that such an opportunity is not Not much.
"If I hadn't snatched so many of my favorite items earlier, maybe this kid would still have a chance, but now I can only admit that I'm unlucky, tsk tsk."
The smile on the fat noble's face became a little stronger, obviously he was watching Lei Xiao's joke.
Just when all the nobles and wealthy businessmen thought that the second auction was about to end.
A faint voice suddenly reached the ears of everyone present: "900,000."
The person who spoke was none other than Lei Xiao.
As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, there was a sudden silence in the huge auction house.
Almost everyone looked over in disbelief.
The inhuman behavior of this mysterious young man before was clearly witnessed by everyone present.
Originally, everyone thought that after so many rounds of competition, this young man must have been short of money.
But I never expected that this guy could actually produce so many golden dragons!
However, the ones who were most surprised were naturally the rich and fat noble who took pleasure in others' misfortune, and the great elder Xuansen who thought he had a chance to win.
I saw the rich and fat noble with his mouth wide open and a look of surprise on his fat face. Because he was almost petrified, the champagne glass in his hand tilted and spilled directly on his luxurious robe without even noticing.
Elder Xuansen, who was in the front row, was all smiles and was already accepting congratulations from other nobles around him.
The smile froze and the situation was very awkward for a time.
"I've met the dragon, and this guy still has money?!"
After being stunned for a long time, Elder Xuansen finally came to his senses again. His wrinkled old face was filled with disbelief.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the silver bell again.
"One million." Lei Xiao said calmly without any hesitation.
This gentle voice once again caused a strong stir in the auction house.
These normally aloof nobles and wealthy businessmen couldn't help but cast admiring glances at Lei Xiao while swallowing their saliva.
Such financial resources are obviously no longer comparable to those of ordinary nobles like Leng Yan!
Thinking of this with shock in their hearts, everyone concluded that this young man with a peaceful face must come from a top noble family in the royal capital!
Otherwise, it would never be possible to have such strong energy!
Even Elder Xuansen, who was extremely arrogant just now, lost his temper long after he realized what he was doing.
Such a big shot is no longer someone he can afford to offend, so why bother ringing the bell?
Besides, he really has no money in his pocket...
"Excuse me, can we announce the results now?"
Feeling the awed looks from around him, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said to Baron Polly, who was also stunned on the stage. (End of chapter)
