Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Among the guests below the private room, what no one noticed was that since the first work of the alchemist master came on stage, the red-robed chief shepherd of the Sun God Dynasty and Norman had been sitting in the two private rooms above. The expression of the general of the empire became serious. He seemed a little nervous. He was obviously paying more attention to every item being auctioned in the auction below, especially those works made by alchemists.
Not only the people in the private room, but also the guests below, many people have begun to be surprised. I don¡¯t know why, but there seem to be a little more alchemist works in today¡¯s auction. You must know that in previous years, alchemist works were basically rare. What happened this year? Who has such a big name? His handwriting can take out so many things at once?
Zhang Tie flipped through the auction manual. Among the catalog pages in this manual, the introduction to the auction items from the alchemist is the simplest.
¡ª¡ªThere are also several works by alchemist masters participating in this auction. Since the consignor requested that the auction items be kept confidential before the official auction, they will not be introduced here. Please stay tuned.
After the sunstone necklace, several more works by master alchemists came on stage.
The second work of the master alchemist is a Pato stone ring that can enhance the dual effects of calmness and quick thinking on the human body. This kind of ring is the favorite of almost all battlefield commanders and intelligence-related professions. This ring is rated as 4.9 Bought it for 10,000 gold coins.
The third work of the master alchemist is a pair of heavenly iron earrings. The effect of this pair of heavenly iron earrings is to allow people to concentrate their energy during practice, quickly enter samadhi, and reduce the chance of being possessed by fire by half. This thing is also a great tool for practitioners. The treasure was finally bought for 52,600 gold coins.
The fourth work of the master alchemist is a lapis lazuli forehead ornament. Its function is to nourish mental power, make people's mental power more agile, and increase people's perception ability. This forehead ornament, which can exert an effect on mental power and enhance people's perception, once again set a sky-high price at the auction, 62,800 gold coins.
When this lapis lazuli forehead ornament appeared, the atmosphere in the entire venue was already sensational. No one could have imagined that at this winter auction of Sowers Auction House, four alchemy pieces could be seen at once. The works of masters in the past. It would be nice to have one or two such works. What happened this year? What¡¯s even more strange is that the styles of these works feel like they are all used by women, and they vaguely seem to be the same set.
Impossible, even the queen of the Norman Empire would never be so exaggerated. Being able to own such a priceless set of jewelry made by a master alchemist¡ªmany people who participated in the auction said secretly in their hearts.
Even Zhang Tie seemed to feel that something was wrong with this auction at this time. An undercurrent and restlessness were quietly surging. This undercurrent was reflected in people's emotions when they heard the auctioneer say When the name of the next auction item was announced, many people in the seats stood up in shock. The entire venue collectively let out a gasp of air-conditioning.
"The next item that is about to come on stage is also the work of a master alchemist. This is a pair of bracelets that inspire all the special abilities of garnet. The efficacy of this bracelet. It is definitely the favorite of all beauty-loving ladies. It has It has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, improving skin quality, increasing the vitality of the body¡¯s qi and blood, and is also beneficial to the health of the female reproductive system and related organs"
Zhang Tie¡¯s eyes followed the auctioneer¡¯s words and landed on the projection wall behind the auction table. The picture of the pair of garnet bracelets was enlarged many times and appeared there. It allows more people to see the details on the bracelet.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, they were a pair of garnet bracelets, but not a pair of garnet bracelets. The pair of bracelets had a garnet red with purple brilliance. They looked exactly like garnets, but strangely, they were originally pure. On the surface of the garnet, if you look closely, there are actually some mysterious small patterns revealed from the inside of the garnet. This is a pattern that Zhang Tie cannot see on any other garnet. If this pair of bracelets were not big enough, those The tiny mysterious patterns were almost impossible to see from Zhang Tie's position.
¡°Could that be the trace left by the alchemists¡¯ ability to open and activate this stone? This seems to be the only difference in appearance between this pair of garnet bracelets and those that can be bought for a dozen silver coins. Of course, the brilliance of this pair of garnet bracelets seems to be brighter. Zhang Tie secretly guessed.
He guessed correctly.
"You can see that the master alchemist has successfully inspired three stone flowers on this pair of garnet bracelets. These three stone flowers represent the activation of the three characteristics and abilities of garnet. This is The first auction item with three attributes in this auction, it may be??It is used for fighting and training, but it can make a woman's beauty last longer and be healthier. Therefore, the starting price of this pair of bracelets is 38,000 gold coins, and each increase in price shall not be less than"
Before the auctioneer had finished speaking, a man sitting in the second row in front of Zhang Tie couldn't help but bid, "I'll offer 50,000 gold coins!"
"Do you want to take away this pair of bracelets for 50,000 gold coins? I will pay 55,000 gold coins!"
"I'll pay 56,000 gold coins!"
"58,000 gold coins"
"60,000 gold coins"
The price of the pair of garnet bracelets soared to more than 70,000 gold coins in a short time. At this price, many people who had just started bidding chickened out, but there were still several wealthy and powerful guests competing for each other, refusing to give in. .
In Chinese idioms, there is an allusion, called turning stones into gold, which is a method only used by gods in Chinese myths and legends. But at this moment, looking at the originally inexpensive garnet, suddenly turned into something more expensive. The same weight of gold is tens of thousands of times more valuable. At this moment, even using the phrase "turning stone into gold" is no longer enough.
Zhang Tie was sitting in his seat. Every time he heard a quotation, his body could not help but tremble slightly. This was not fear, but excitement that Zhang Tie himself did not know. Still excited
"I offer 100,000 gold coins!" A man sitting in the first row of the auction suddenly stood up and said loudly. After quoting the price, the man lifted up his cloak and hood, took off the bronze mask on his face, and turned around. Turning around, she revealed the face of a forty-year-old MILF who still retains her charm. This woman has pink face, rosy cheeks, and long, curved eyes. Mature and coquettish, she seemed to have a sharp evil spirit. She glared at all the guests behind her with a smile on her face, but her words were a bit aggressive. "I've decided to order this pair of bracelets. I'll see who wants to snatch them from me"
¡°Black Widow!¡± Several guests at the back took a breath of air, and someone murmured to themselves.
The auction was quiet for a while.
Zhang Tie didn¡¯t know who the Black Widow was, but judging from the look of this woman, it seemed that many people knew her identity, and this woman seemed to be very feared, at least at this time. It seems that no one is willing to spend more than 100,000 gold coins to buy a pair of bracelets, and then offend this woman by the way.
Seeing that no one said anything at the venue, the woman turned her head and looked at the auctioneer. Without saying a word, the auctioneer holding a small hammer on the stage swallowed a gulp of saliva, "Now someone has quoted one hundred thousand gold coins. Is there a higher price? Is there a higher price? No? Then three. Two, one, deal!" "
The hammer hit with a loud bang, and the woman named Black Widow sat down again, while the auctioneer on the stage had a small drop of sweat on his forehead.
"The following is the last item in this auction that was made by the master alchemist"
The auctioneer said, and the people below suddenly almost burst into an uproar.
"What, there are also lots of items from the hands of master alchemists. Is this winter auction of Sowers a special event for alchemists?"
"Impossible, this is already the sixth item. Even in other larger auctions, there are rarely so many alchemy items at one time!"
"I had known that there would be so many alchemy items this time. According to the rules, Sowers Auction House should have informed us at least one month in advance so that we could raise funds. This time there was a surprise attack. There was no news at all before the auction. , what does this mean?" Many people started to clamor with dissatisfaction and pointed their fingers at the auction house.
"If I had known the news a month earlier, I would never have let go of that Patto stone ring just now!"
"Sauls Auction House must give us an explanation!"
¡°We need an explanation!¡±
Zhang Tie looked at the suddenly noisy auction venue with interest. Even two people around him stood up and shouted in excitement. These dissatisfied people were blaming Sowers Auction House for not performing according to the rules. The auction house's obligation to inform them even caught them off guard at the auction. The transaction of those alchemy items easily costs tens of thousands of gold coins, and the highest price has soared to one hundred thousand gold coins. This amount of money is not a small amount for anyone. For some people participating in the auction, if they don¡¯t have time, Preparation, coming up with such a large amount of money in a hurry is also a problem.
The auctioneer on the stage was quite embarrassed and could not cope with so many accusations. Just when the crowd was getting more and more excited and it seemed that the entire auction would be unable to continue, an old man in his 60s suddenly appeared on the auction stage. superior.
As soon as the old man appeared on the auction stage, the auctioneer hurriedly retreated to the backstage as if he was receiving an amnesty. At the same time, Zhang Tie also noticed thatThe auction venue was somewhat disordered, but from beginning to end, the representatives of the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire, who were sitting in the box upstairs, did not show any signs.
"Everyone" As soon as the old man came out and looked around, the excited and dissatisfied crowd suddenly became quiet. Many people seemed to know who this old man was. "As the person in charge of the Sowers Business Group, I am very excited about today." I deeply regret the trouble this auction will bring to everyone, but at the same time, I have to tell you honestly that as the organizer of the auction, we know that there will be a batch of alchemy items at this auction. It was a day ago, at this time, that there was no time to inform everyone, but only ten minutes before the auction started this morning, this batch of alchemical items was escorted to the auction house, and we knew exactly what this batch of alchemical items was. What is it? We are equally shocked by this, and at the same time, we cannot refuse the confidentiality request from the owner of this batch of alchemical items!¡±
"Who is it?" There was a hoarse voice in the seat below who had obviously taken voice-changing pills, echoing under the brass mask. "Who is the consigned auctioneer of this batch of alchemical items? For Sowers Auction House, this is The request and attitude are almost rude. We want to know whose request the Soles Business Group cannot refuse?¡±
The old man standing on the auction stage took a deep breath, "It is the Selindore family that entrusted Sowers Auction House to auction the alchemy items in front, including the last pair of alchemy items!"
The entire venue fell silent instantly. The Celindor family, also known as the famous Iron Gate family, is the ruling family of Karur City. The fact that Karur is as big as it is today can be said to be inseparable from the painstaking efforts of the entire Iron Gate family for generations. . The "Iron Gate T21" brought by Fatty Bali during Zhang Tie's trial was produced by the Celindor family. This family dominated Karur City and was also the largest arms supplier and supplier of the Andaman Alliance. Machine builder. Compared to this family, families such as Gregory from Black Flame City are completely upstarts in the countryside.
do not know why. At this time, Zhang Tie had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen at today's auction.
"If you have no doubts, let's proceed with the auction of the last alchemical item today, because this last alchemical item is extraordinary. Nothing like this has ever been auctioned in the history of Sowers Auction House. Maybe you have never seen something like this so close, so when this thing comes out, please stay calm, don't panic, and don't try to come up to watch or touch it out of curiosity, in order to avoid unnecessary things. Trouble and danger, we will take some measures for this. Please understand!" After the old man finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately, a group of heavily armed soldiers walked out from the backstage of the auction stage. One by one, they solemnly surrounded the auction stage, basically isolating the auction stage from the guests below.
After the team of soldiers completed their vigilance, two men wearing white gloves came up from the backstage, each carrying a silver metal suitcase. Then he carefully placed the suitcase on the display cabinet on the auction stage and opened the suitcase carefully. Adjust an item in your suitcase from horizontal to upright so that everyone can see it. At the same time, the projector on the auction stage has now displayed the images of these two items in a clearer and larger picture.
Judging from the appearance, those two things are exactly two huge "ostrich eggs" made of some strange material. The entire "ostrich egg" shell has circles of alternating black and white spirals. pattern, no one knew what these things were. At least Zhang Tie was completely confused when he looked at the two "ostrich eggs". He couldn't figure out what these two things were. They deserved such solemn attention from the auction house. thing.
Among all the people, only the two officers from the representatives of the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire who were sitting in the private room upstairs changed their expressions when they saw the two "ostrich eggs", and then they talked to the general next to them (Red The great shepherd leader in robes lowered his head and said a few words.
"Everyone should have heard of these two things, especially in the recent period. During this war, the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire surrendered one and two such things in each other's cities respectively. !¡± The old man on the stage said softly, and then the audience was quiet for a while, and then it exploded instantly.
"What? You mean these two are alchemical bombs? The only thermal weapons in the Black Iron Age!"
Someone shouted loudly, everyone was startled, even Zhang Tie's eyes widened.
"Yes, these two things are two bombs made by alchemists. They are the only thermal weapons in the Black Iron Age. They are also the last alchemical items in today's auction. So far, the alchemists of the Sun God Dynasty can only The most powerful one madeThe explosive yield of an alchemical bomb is 350 kilograms of tnt. The most powerful alchemical bomb that the alchemists of the Norman Empire can create has an explosive yield of 500 kilograms of tnt. The explosive yield of these two bombs is equivalent to one The explosion size of tons of tnt"
Having said this, the person in charge of the Sowers business group on the stage smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "Don't ask me what the explosive yield is, how many kilograms, what the TNT level means, I don't understand this either, this vocabulary, It is a professional term used by alchemists to measure the power of alchemical bombs. This term comes from before the Cataclysm. It has very strict criteria for judgment. I am just following the script here. How powerful is the explosive equivalent of a meal of TNT? Before I take the stage I also asked someone else, and what that person told me was that if such a bomb exploded at the auction house, then the entire auction house and the Sowers Hotel above the auction house, including everything here and in the hotel. People will be destroyed by bombs!¡±
Hearing such words, everyone¡¯s hearts, including Zhang Tie¡¯s, trembled.
The person in charge of the Sowers Business Group on the auction stage looked around for a week. "The starting price for each of these two bombs is one gold coin. Bidding from two people can be accepted at the same time. Now everyone can bid"
A gold coin? A terrifyingly powerful alchemical bomb?
Is this a joke? You may not be able to find a place to buy such a terrifying weapon for 100,000 gold coins, because all bombs are strategic weapons in the hands of the country and major forces. It is almost impossible for anyone to sell them, let alone for a gold coin. You can buy it. The most terrifying and awe-inspiring place for an alchemist is this era. Only alchemists possess this terrifying murder weapon that is almost out of this era.
Almost no one who was able to attend the auction was an idiot. Almost instantly, everyone understood why they saw representatives of the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty here today, and why such an alchemical bomb was Two of them appeared at once?
"I'll give you a gold coin!"
"I'll give you a gold coin!"
Just when the entire auction house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, two voices came from the two boxes upstairs. Except for these two voices. No one in the auction house dared to make any more bids at this time. Even those who had just shouted that they had not prepared enough money and had missed the alchemy items were as quiet as stones, as if they had not seen the "big deal" in front of them at all. "cheaper".
"One gold coin, one gold coin. Two people have already bid. Is there any higher bid? No, no, that's good. Deal!"
The auction hammer hit, making a louder sound than ever before. Like a solitary round of applause after an actor¡¯s solitary performance on a theater stage.
The people in the box upstairs had already left at this time. "Do we need to check something?" The red-robed chief shepherd of the Sun God Dynasty, who had just looked indifferent and held the golden scepter, was now as dark as a piece of coal. A careful person can even see The fingers of the red-robed shepherd holding the golden scepter were so hard that their joints turned white.
"Okay!" The person in charge of the Sowers Merchant Group on the stage nodded, and the soldiers surrounding the auction stage made way for a gap.
An officer from the Sun God Palace walked over. The general from the Norman Empire also nodded to the officer next to him, and the officer from the Norman Empire also walked up.
In full view of everyone, the two officers who came on stage each inspected the contents of a silver suitcase. In less than half a minute, the two serious-looking officers were each inspecting the red-robed chief shepherd of the Sun God Dynasty and the The general of the Norman Empire nodded, and after each left a gold coin, he carefully put away the bomb and walked off the auction stage with the suitcase.
Representatives of the Sun Dynasty and the Norman Empire then left.
In the auction house, the eyes of all the guests were focused on the person in charge of the Sowers business group standing on the auction stage. At this time, even Zhang Tie understood that this auction was about plugging in The Lindor family publicly conveyed a certain message and demonstrated their strength to the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire.
What happened in the auction house just now was not a simple auction, but a major event that could affect the situation in the Karur region and the course of the war between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire. There are two key information points in this major event. The first information point is that the Celindor family has obtained the support of a certain alchemist master. The second information point is that the alchemist master's ability is far above the top alchemists in the two countries, the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty.
Everyone looked at the man on the auction stage, waiting for that man to say something. Even as a silent prop?As a witness, everyone has the right to know something.
Sure enough, he lived up to expectations. Facing the expectant eyes of everyone, the person in charge of the Sowers Business Group finally revealed a piece of news.
"The Iron Gate Family will announce today that the next heir to the family patriarch is Alexia Serindore. The day before, Alexia Serindore, who was still studying in the Eastern Continent, has Married to an alchemist master, everything in the Iron Gate family, including Karur City, will be under the protection of that alchemist master from today on. The alchemy items just auctioned at the auction are from that master. A little gift from the master to the Iron Gate family"
The entire auction house fell silent again.
After a long time, someone among the guests sighed quietly, "The war between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire surrounding Karur is almost over!"
¡¡
At this moment, Zhang Tie, the voice in his heart and the desire in his mind suddenly became extremely clear.
This is a dream, a dream that Zhang Tie desires to be for the first time in his life, a dream that makes Zhang Tie's blood boil when he thinks about it.
The Zhang Tie in his dream has a skill even cooler than turning stone into gold.
One person can save a city
¡°One person can change a war
?????????????????????????????????????
¡¡
The auction was still going on. In the subsequent auction, Zhang Tie's Vitality Ring was finally auctioned off for 21,600 gold coins. Zhang Tie's pocket suddenly bulged.
Just after Zhang Tie¡¯s ring was auctioned, a line of text appeared in Zhang Tie¡¯s mind.
¡ª¡ªThe space intelligence of the Black Iron Castle has been generated, and the management template of the Black Iron Castle has completed its first intelligent upgrade. The Lord of the Castle and the Black Iron Castle used the space gate to establish a cross-dimensional mental connection and interaction mode
As the last sentence ended, Zhang Tie felt his mental power in the sea of ????consciousness shake, and a large amount of mental power began to pour into the magical arch in his mind. At this moment, that magical arch looked exactly like Like a water-absorbing sponge, it continuously absorbed his mental power. In less than a minute, there was only a thin trace of mental power left in Zhang Tie's mind, and he was almost completely absorbed. Drain completely.
When Zhang Tie's mental power was almost completely exhausted, the magical arch shook slightly, and in the process, the color of the arch suddenly became green and full of vitality.
The process of rapidly absorbing mental power was not a comfortable thing for Zhang Tie. In just one minute, Zhang Tie had a splitting headache and a feeling of collapse, but in the end, before entering and exiting the black iron, Zhang Tie After the color of the magical arch of the castle changed, Zhang Tie felt that his whole body seemed to have established a deeper and closer connection with the Black Iron Castle at this moment.
In the past, the Black Iron Castle felt like it was separated from me by a gate, in two completely different worlds. Only after I opened the door and entered could I feel what was inside. But at this moment, the gate seemed to have disappeared. The entire Black Iron Castle, at the level of spiritual perception, seems to be integrated with itself
