As night fell, Donald, who had successfully fooled the three chief stewards of Bert, took Codd and Clinton and sat in the VIP room prepared by the client of the Kingsore auction and the mysterious guests who did not like to reveal their identities. Exquisite food and fine wines for VIPs, watching the special auction that has started in the hall below.
This auction was specially held by Director Burt for Donald's ancestral treasure, and he temporarily sent an invitation to inform the nobles and bigwigs who were staying in the city for a while.
Not only did most of the nobles who were originally in the city accepted the invitation, but some people who had heard of a mysterious treasure auction also came to participate.
When Donald introduced his ancestral treasure, he had already added a lot of fictional plots. Unexpectedly, the chief appraisal master Orchi also agreed with Donald's statement, and he was full of praise for improving the value. I didn't see it at all. On the side, the director of Bert had a dark face like the bottom of a pot.
Originally, the big steward Bert still wanted to lower this treasure, buy it at a suitable price, clear the money and the goods, and then organize a grand auction for the auction house to make a huge difference. In that way, no matter how much more the auction price is, it has nothing to do with the original owner, and you can also earn a lot of money from it.
Unexpectedly, Orchi touted this knight sword like an artifact as soon as he came up, making it difficult for him to give a low price in front of the owner, so he had to give up his original plan and agreed to entrust the item to the auction house for auction. , and only charge a 5 percent commission.
Of course, in addition to the ancestral treasure made up by Donald, the auction house also prepared a lot of auction items as a foil.
Boulder City is only a second-class remote city in Celt, not as big as a big city like the capital, so the auctions held by the Kingsore Auction House here are generally not too complicated.
After some artworks and luxury goods that are sought after by aristocratic and wealthy businessmen appeared one after another, it soon arrived at the finale of this auction, the mysterious treasures.
The gorgeous knight's sword was held on the booth by two strong guards of the auction house, and it flashed dazzlingly brilliant light under the bright light.
As soon as the five-foot-long sword came out, it caused exclamations from all the guests present.
"What a beautiful sword! Is it a ceremonial sword for decoration?"
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a real murder weapon!"
"I haven't seen any kind of long sword. The weight of such a huge long sword is almost comparable to that of a knight's spear. Who can wield such a weapon, is it for giants?"
"Foolishness! This is a rare knight's sword, a weapon used by fully-armed high-level knights on the battlefield. It is swung by the charging power of war horses. People with little knowledge have never heard of it!"
......
After the noble guests stopped talking, the auctioneer had time to introduce the origin of the auction items.
"This knight's great sword is called the Wind of Glory. It is a weapon used by an ancestor of a knight family to follow the great King I of Celtic Kingdom to start a war. It is a heritage treasure collected by the family for nearly a thousand years. It is made of hard steel and added with mysterious materials, which makes the blade stronger and not easy to break, and after thousands of years, it will not rot or go bad, and it is still amazingly sharp."
Then it is to take materials such as wood and rocks to test the true quality of the auction items. The book of truth is produced, and it must be a fine product. Naturally, it is easy to cut off those experimental objects, and there is no damage to itself. This performance caused a burst of exclamations from the guests under the stage.
The auctioneer's introduction made Donald, the initiator, amused.
Unexpectedly, this knight sword has become more and more touted. Recalling the records in the history books that I have read, the Celtic Kingdom has been established for more than 500 years. The original Celtic royal family was the nobles under the Benai Empire, which once unified the continent.
Thousands of years ago, during the calamity years when the demons invaded in an all-round way, the punishment of the gods and the ravages of the abyss demons made the ancient magical empire like the sun completely split, and many great powers fell like meteors.
The Celtic family was forced to migrate to a barren land in the northern part of the mainland, but it also escaped the chaotic war and successfully survived the devastating disaster.
Since then, the Celtic family has taken a large area of the North Land as their own, and without competition from other forces, it has gradually developed from a village to a town, and even the current kingdom.
More than 500 years ago, the war on the continent had basically subsided, and the land resources were divided by various forces. No one placed the vast and fertile center and southeast of the continent to compete with the Celtic family and the orcs for the western part of the northern part of the continent. The moors and the northern woodlands are two bitter cold places. This allowed the orcs to recuperate, and the Celtic family did not hinder the successful establishment of the Celtic kingdom.
It was not until the founding of the country that the Celtic Kingdom, which had been isolated from the powerful forces on the mainland for hundreds of years, was gradually known.
Although the climate is bitter and cold, the vast land, rich products, and monster resources in the mountains and forests make many countries want to get a piece of the pie, even if their own land and products are more fertile and richer than Celts. Therefore, all the forces have set their sights on this kingdom whose territory borders the orc forces.
But apart from a few foreign chambers of commerce, and the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, which has always been low-key and kind, no other forces can get involved in this closed and united remote kingdom.
The ancestors of the Melina family did follow Sert I to the North, but his identity was only a cavalryman in the army at that time, and he had not even obtained the title of knight. It was not until the death of the ancestor that he received a symbolic posthumous title from the royal family and was named an honorary knight. At that time, their Melina family could barely be called a knight family, but there was no fief and it was not hereditary.
At that time, the cavalry regiments were conferred with their ancestors, and there were more than 500 cavalry regiments later. Among them, most of them died on the battlefield, and their descendants survived to become nobles and enjoyed riches and honors, probably very few. This illustrates the brutality of war and the difficulty of gaining a position of power in this world.
Their Melina family was only awarded the hereditary knights and a territory the size of two villages in the border area for the merits they won in the war with the orcs three hundred years ago. After more than ten generations and three hundred years of development, the territory has gradually expanded to a level similar to that of the baronies. The territory is rich and powerful.
As a result, in just a few decades, most of the territory and wealth were lost, and in the end, there was nothing but a house.
This undoubtedly proves the old saying of Donald's previous life, "It's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business!"
The terrifying knight sword, which is already close to a person's height, may be difficult to use in a single-player team battle, but it is definitely a weapon on the battlefield.
This sword is the money-making coup that Donald came up with. Compared with the infantry standard long sword, the quality is excellent but the appearance is ordinary. The king of close combat and charge, the great sword worn by the fourth-level human knight is a combination of gorgeousness and power. weapons. Although there is no magic effect, the knight's great sword made of pure steel is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also has a coldness in its elegant design. It is a real weapon for killing.
Even if there is no auction, according to Donald's estimation, this knight's great sword can be sold for at least three thousand gold sols, which is equivalent to the value of a manor owned by a wealthy aristocrat. Even the tax of the Stone City for a year is only about 5,000 gold sols.
But if you want to make a big profit, Donald believes that after the auction, the price can be increased by at least 2,000. That's why today's auction house is here.
The knight's great sword directly embodied by the book of truth has a quality that is better than that of ordinary blacksmiths, and its attributes have reached the perfect level that the item itself can achieve.
Such a magical weapon made a few nobles from orthodox knights particularly jealous.
And as a treasure that has been passed down by a family for hundreds of years, if you buy it, even if you can't carry it on the battlefield, it is definitely a big collection worth showing off.
Therefore, those rich businessmen and wealthy nobles also have a lot of interest in this knight's sword.
Seeing that everyone who bought this knight's sword was strongly aroused, the auctioneer felt that the heat was coming, and quickly said:
"According to the research of this auction house, this Wind of Glory should be the work of an unknown craftsman of the dwarves. The starting price is 500 gold sol, and the auction is now on!"
Five hundred gold sol, compared to the real value of this knight's great sword, is far inferior. Such a low price has made many guests who did not think they could take pictures of this treasure also increased their prices.
The price quickly rose from five hundred gold soles to three thousand, which was guaranteed in Donald's heart, and was still rising at a rate of at least two hundred gold soles per minute.
In the private room, Donald, who was the initiator, laughed like a little fox that stole a fat chicken, and he couldn't close his mouth. On the side, Ke De valued the rising price, and while he was nervous, he couldn't help but raise a strange thought, as if his originally kind young master suddenly became so cunning and treacherous?
In the end, the "thousand-year-old" knight's great sword was photographed by a large shop owner from the capital at a high price of 7,300 gold sol. He laughed and ordered the two samurai around him to hold it to his side, saying that he was going to bring it with him. Return to the capital to present it to His Majesty the King.
And getting a box containing more than 7,110 gold sols, Donald is also very happy.
As for who wins and who loses, only they themselves know.
On the contrary, Donald felt a little ashamed of deceiving the indigenous people of this world for this auction, but looking at so many golden coins, the apology in his heart soon disappeared without a trace.
Whether it's your own mage training or summoning, you need money. There are so many rich and aristocrats in this small megalithic city. If you don't slaughter white people, there are still many poor people outside who can't eat!
After Golden Sol got his hands, Donald asked the auction house's people to list 2,000 on the spot. According to the market price, they were replaced by ten square medium element spar and two hundred low element spar. As a result, the spar in the auction house's inventory was almost swept away.
Elemental spar ore veins are rare, and medium spar generally contains more than ten times the energy of low-level spar, and the properties are purer. Low-level spar can only be promoted when it accumulates to a certain concentration in an environment with abundant energy. It is a medium-high existence, otherwise it has existed for thousands of years, and it is still a low-level existence. Therefore, the value of medium-element spar has always been high, and most of them have been acquired by various forces, and only a small amount will flow out of the market.
As for the high-level spar, it's not that Donald doesn't want to replace two, but the auction house really doesn't have it, and it's hard to find shops in the market. I don't know if I can find a few in this small place like Megalithic City!
This kind of spar is reserved as a strategic material in every country, and it is widely circulated only in the hands of mages. The Kingsore Auction House can collect these things, which is already a good ability, and they are willing to The one-time sale to Donald also depends on the future development of this noble mage apprentice.
If you don't make friends while he is an apprentice, when are you waiting? Although there is no such thing as adding a flower to the scene, it is better to give charcoal in the snow, but the meaning of it is still understood by smart people. Moreover, one auction has brought at least a few hundred gold soles to the auction house. This is an achievement that can only be achieved by a large-scale auction held once every six months!
Two thousand gold sols were only exchanged for a small box of ten small pieces of shiny stones, which made Donald feel that the money came and went quickly!
When the guests were gone and almost all gone, Donald said goodbye to Burt, the chief steward. This is to avoid being targeted by some jealous guys. Although he is not afraid of any threat with his strength, it is better to avoid trouble!
The three of Clinton put two wooden boxes, one large and one small, into the carriage, and the ten-square medium-element spar was in their arms. Donald gave an order and left with the help of the auction house's chief steward Bert and others. auction.
The city gate was already closed after nightfall. Seeing that the fruitful Donald could not return to his home in Hongfeng Town, he simply waved his hand and went straight to the most upscale hotel in the city. He earned more than 7,000 gold sols all at once, which was at least one third more than the tax of Boulder City in a year. Donald, who was in a good mood, ignored the distress of his butler, Cod, and bought two gold sols for a day. Only the rich The yard that the nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford to live in.
In a hotel room that was more ornate than an ordinary country noble mansion, Donald asked the attendants to move the two boxes into his master's room, and then sent them to the attendant's room to rest.
Then Donald opened the book of truth in front of Cod, and summoned the storage and equipment space imprint he had been longing for. Of course, the Book of Truth, which is an artifact, shows images that cannot be seen by others.
In the Warcraft series, although there is no space equipment like storage rings, it has the space imprint that every hero has. Combined with the space laws of this world, the space imprint given by the Book of Truth is a micro-space fissure bonded with the user's spirit. In the gap, the items stored inside can be summoned at any time at the request of the user.
Of course, there are also space packages that can be used by primary units such as farmers and acolytes, so that they can also carry items, but only two spaces can be opened up, each of which is only one cube in size, and backpacks the size of schoolbags can be carried It was also relatively inconvenient, so it was abandoned by Donald at that time.
The lowest level of space imprint, opening up a cubic sized private space, summoning 30 square low-level element spar, which used to be out of Donald's reach, but now it can be paid for overnight without any effort.
Theoretically, the space imprint can be superimposed indefinitely, as long as you pay the energy, but considering the stability of the space structure, it is impossible to expand the private space imprint to the size of a country, otherwise the structure of this world may accommodate it. It is impossible for such a different dimension to exist, and it has to be opened frequently in the house between the main world and the space, which may cause chaos in the power of space.
But at present, he doesn't have that much space. It is enough for him to spend thirty squares of low-level element spar in exchange for one cubic space imprint.
A cube sounds small, but it can hold a lot more than you think. In addition to leaving a box of gold coins and leaving 20 on the housekeeper, the others were stuffed into the private space together with the spar box, but it was found that only a part of the space was occupied, and the remaining space could at least be loaded again. Several boxes of this size.
Not long after, the hotel attendant brought a dinner for five people. The one served by Donald, the master, was naturally the richest. It was richer and more delicious than any meal he had ever eaten in this world.
Worthy of spending two gold coins a night.
After dinner, Donald, who had a huge sum of money in his heart, was not at ease, so he simply spent a first-level magic core to summon an owl of a night elf huntress, and let it fly on the tree in the yard to scout. Then he worriedly spent a party of low-level element spar, exchanged for a sentry guard, and inserted it in a hidden place in the yard.
With such a double preparation, even if the person coming is a powerful assassin above the bronze rank, it is estimated that he will not be able to sneak into this small courtyard smoothly. Even if he escapes the owls on the periphery, once he enters the observation range, he will be guarded by the sentry guards who can detect the invisible in time. Find.
Different from the effect of short-term existence in the game, this sentry guard exchanged by Donald can monitor all traces within a radius of one kilometer, and detect all invisible units that enter the monitoring range of 100 meters for three days. Once a creature or object of unknown origin moves into the surveillance range, an image will be formed in Donald's mind, the target will be detected, and a warning will be issued.
This is the effect of the book of truth combined with the game settings and the rules of this world, which is enough to guard against all malicious enemies.
Donald, who had slept peacefully all night, did not know that shortly after he left the Kingsore Auction House in a carriage with the harvest, a document was placed on the bedside of the masters of the major forces in Boulder City.
Among them, the Kinsol Auction House, which received the earliest information, submitted the information at the fastest speed and sent it to the owner of the auction house.
The chief steward, Bert, stood respectfully in the study, waiting for an order from the person browsing the information behind the desk.
On the expensive soft leather chair, an old man dressed as an aristocrat looked at the paper in his hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting! It turned out to be a mage apprentice, and a place like Boulder City will have such characters!"
"Continue to pay attention, if there is any news, report it to me as soon as possible!"
Chief Steward Burt repeatedly said yes, then bowed and stepped back.
After Bert left, the old man squeezed hard, and the paper in his hand was turned into fine powder, and then an inaudible word came from the study.
"I have been managing the business of the boulder city for decades. Now that the old man has a short lifespan, it is time to plan for himself!"
Naturally, Donald wouldn't know about these forces' investigations into him, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. Because he has long considered that once he makes a move, it will be difficult to avoid being known to outsiders. At least the lord of Hongfeng Town and the Viscount of Boulder City, the two largest forces within a hundred miles will definitely be there. The first to know.
After all, he still has the status of a hereditary knight heir, and he lives in one of them.
What Donald knows is that as long as he becomes stronger quickly, then by that time, even if those forces want to make any plans, they will not be able to endanger him. Therefore, he does not think too much about eating and sleeping at ease. Instead of worrying about the world all day, it is better to relax and enjoy life, and then make a fortune!
