Chapter 1085 The Night of Withering
At this time, the person in charge of the auction venue came out: "Everyone, because there are too many people participating in the auction tonight, we have temporarily decided to move the auction site to the ring in the city center. The Grand Theater can accommodate nearly 100,000 people to participate in the live bidding."
The people around were very happy after hearing this, which was a good thing for them.
The Ring Theater is an open-air theater. During festival celebrations, this is where people hold large-scale activities. At this time, all the decorations in the theater have been arranged. People coming to participate in the auction are attending the auction from various entrances, and more and more people are gathering.
"It turns out that there are so many officers and soldiers who participated in the war. No wonder they need to be in such a big venue." Hayate exchanged a number plate from the staff at the entrance: "This way you can take your seat according to the number. How about you? .”
"I have a number plate." Bing Zhixie took out the C209 in her hand and asked the staff, then pulled Linda and said: "Let's go, our seat is over there."
Go to the seat and sit down Well, the number of people bidding on the spot is gradually increasing After the seats were full, Bing Zhixie glanced at the tower in the venue: "It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, and the auction will not end until tomorrow."
Linda said: "Anyway, the matters in the capital have already been completed It’s over, it doesn’t matter if you rest later.”< br>
In the center of the auction venue, the host has set up a podium: "Everyone, be quiet, everyone, be quiet. Ahem, everyone, please be quiet." The diffuse sound array allowed everyone to hear him clearly Voice: "Everyone, look at the amplification magic circle that has been laid out around your seats. As long as you inject a little magic, I can hear you. Give it a try."
Everyone They all tried it, and suddenly the whole auction house was noisy. The nobles covered their ears in anger, resenting the vulgarity of the soldiers and mercenaries.
"Ah, that's okay, everyone, be quiet. Be quiet, if you don't be quiet, the auction won't be able to go on." The host's sound array was stronger, and he shouted over everyone: "Very good, don't make any noise. "The auction needs to be conducted in a disciplined manner." He looked around at the people around him and said with a smile, "I feel a bit like a monkey. It's really uncomfortable to be stared at by so many pairs of eyes. This auction is a little different. Come on." Many officers and soldiers have joined us. I can only choose such a large venue. I can’t face every one of you. People are talking, because the bidders have formed a circle around me. Well, there are large water shadows all around. You can clearly see what the auction items are because there is no time to auction each one. All the information about the product, we simply put one information They haven't sent it yet, so you have no way of knowing what the next auction item will be after this one. You should seize the opportunity. Don't see the treasure that you are excited about, but want to keep the money to buy a better one. Maybe There is no next piece of equipment like this. Of course, I will give it to you. I will introduce the performance of each piece of equipment in detail, including its good, bad, and cost-effectiveness. Because we are an honest auction venue, what we auction is of high quality. In addition, there are some treasure equipment. We will also conduct on-site demonstrations so that all bidders can more directly feel its performance. If you still have any questions, do you see the row of professional appraisers sitting in front of you? You answer your doubts in detail...and, originally, it was as usual. The auction process will be to auction weapons, armor, helmets... one category at a time, but this time we decided not to do that, but to mix all the treasures, equipment, and weapons together for auction. Well, let’s talk about it and the auction won’t be until tomorrow. It’s over, I think today’s auction will be a grand event.”
The seats Bing Zhixie and Linda are sitting on are still large leather sofas. Although they are not as big as those in the Paradise Building, they can still accommodate two people. Yes, this is because they have the name of heaven.
After a brief intermission, the host came to the stage again: "Now please bring out the No. 1 auction item in tonight's auction - the withering night."
The person escorting the treasure held the A large satin-covered tray came onto the stage, with a red bow placed on the tray. At this time, a circle of magic pillars in the venue had a halo of water waves, and then the water image magnified everything on the podium and appeared in mid-air.
The host placed the bow on the table next to him and said: "Everyone has seen it, withering night, as the first auction item, its name is not very good. But... let me Take a look." He picked up a piece of information and looked at it: "Ah, one A good treasure. This is a primary treasure, a medium-sized bow. The craftsman who made this bow placed its power on the balance between low demand and damage. Its biggest feature is that it shoots magic arrows. That is to say, this is a weapon even if your ability is only rudimentary A knight's bow that can display its performance even at lower levels. The bow body is made of red iron wood, soaked in special medicine for a long time, and fixed with hard metal. The bow string is carved with a sacred horn. The animal's mane is mixed with other materials. This is The highlight is that it makes the arrows shot by this bow have magic. The bow body has no bow, and the effective shooting range of the bow is about 200. Of course, if you are an expert, it is a different matter. Let me demonstrate it to you. Check out the capabilities of this bow.”
He picked up the bow and took another arrow from the tray: "This is the most common arrow. Let's take a look." He put on the bow and fired an arrow into the air. The arrow that flew out was immediately covered with arrows. A layer of whitish and blue magic light appeared, shooting into the night sky like a shooting star, then falling slowly, landing not far from the booth.
"Are you watching?" the host said: "I don't use any magic power. As long as you shoot the arrow from the sky, this red ironwood bow can attract the arrows scattered in nature for you. Magical energy. I'll give it to you again. Demonstrate again, you can shoot magic arrows without arrows." This time he drew an empty bow in the air, flicked the arrow string, and with a swish, a blue and white shadow rushed into the sky, and gradually weakened and disappeared at 200. Meters in the air.
After the demonstration, many people started talking. It is indeed a good bow for beginners and intermediate people, because it does not require high requirements to use and control, and it is also It is quite unique. Even when the arrows are used up, they can be used without consuming their own magic power. This is a good feature for knights with low magic power.
The host said to everyone: "Do you have any questions? If you have any doubts, you can come over and give it a try in person."
Sure enough, there are a few people who want to give it a try, and the host can invite them as they please. A man came up and let him try the withering night.
The man who tried the bow fired a few arrows in a row, and couldn't put it down while holding the bow: "It's exactly what you said, I want this bow. What's the starting price?"
"Haha, please give it. Leave the bow to me and go back to your seat first," the host said. : "The starting price of this bow is 70,000 gold coins. Let's start bidding."
Linda, who was sitting next to Bing Zhixie, complained: "It took me so long to introduce a broken bow. I won't win tonight." Come on.”
Bing Zhixie chuckled. There are many people who have made offers, but the increase is not much. Withering Night is suitable for people with weak strength, but it is of no use to people with high strength. It is not even as good as a high-performance non-treasure bow.
Bing Zhixie was waiting for this to end, when suddenly a person sitting next to him came over: "Hey, buddy, what do you think of this bow?"
Bing Zhixie looked at him, surprised. Someone would ask me for no reason, but I saw that this person was about seventeen or eight years old, dressed in a straight aristocratic gentleman's dress, and like me, there was a young girl sitting next to him. Looking at the people sitting next to him, all of them were real adults, I thought it was no wonder that he would ask me.
Bingzhixie said: "If you are a junior knight who is good at using bows, this is definitely a good bow that you should not miss. Because..." Bingzhixie was struck before he could finish his words. he interrupted.
"Really? Wait, wait, wait." He quickly picked up the sign and shouted: "I will pay 150,000, I will pay 150,000." He shouted twice, but his voice was very small, but I forgot to activate the loudspeaker magic circle around me.
After a price of 150,000 was quoted, no one took it. At the final word, the bow was sold to him.
He sat down happily and said a few words to the female companion beside him. He thought of Bing Zhixie again, turned around and asked: "What did you want to say just now? Why?"
" ..." Bingzhixie said: "The biggest problem with weapons and equipment is whether you have the ability to use it, or whether you can exert its full power. Although some treasures are good, if you are not capable of using them, they are not as good as ordinary equipment."
The man nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, we have a bow in the academy, shoot it out. The arrow is very powerful. But I tried it several times, but the teacher said that I was not strong enough to use it. One time our training teacher was also a junior knight, a few years older than me, but better than me. By the way, I haven’t told you yet, I was a junior knight last month... last month. Considering that I passed the exam on the 12th last month, did you know that when I took the exam..."
"..." Bing Zhixie interrupted him hurriedly: "Just now What about your training teacher?”
“Oh, yes,” the man said apologetically, “I’m sorry, my teacher is also a junior knight. In fact, he was also a student, training our archery skills part-time. One time he tried that bow, do you know what happened?”
Bing Zhixie cooperated with him and said: "I don't know."
The man said: "He, when he used that bow, he actually succeeded. But when he shot the arrow, he shot himself He was knocked down and fell into a coma. The doctor at the college said that he was overstretched and almost died. From then on, a group of our classmates never dared to touch the bow again, and they all died. It was scary. ”
After hearing what he was talking about, Bing Zhixie nodded and smiled dryly: "What a good story."
The man seemed to be interested, clapped his hands and said: "By the way, there is another one. Let me tell you something, we..."
Bing Zhixie quickly waved his hand to stop him and said: "Hey, hey, let's talk about it later, it seems that there are good things up for auction."
The man patted his forehead: "Yes, it's the auction now. Sorry, I'm sorry to bother you."
Bing Zhixie could only laugh dryly again.
