Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 156: sea ​​auction

The sea auction is a grand event that the Demingham Heathens look forward to every quarter.

For some unknown reason, this year's auction was postponed. The auction that was supposed to be held at the end of September was just postponed to the end of October.

On this day, all booths will be cancelled, leaving only the auction booth in the middle.

Not only will this move not reduce the number of heretics, but according to the situation in previous years, it will nearly double the number, and if there is no accident, there will be some characters that are rarely seen in the sea market.

Even if there is snow tonight.

It is normal for snow to fall in the early morning in winter. The ship is not far away from the sea, and snow starts to fall from the sky. At this time, it is impossible to make the ship turn around. Even if it is adjusted, there will be no grocery store open to sell umbrellas at this time.

"Fortunately, the snow is not strong, or else I won't be able to see what is being auctioned later... Donald, how much did you prepare for this auction?"

The masked Stephanie's voice sounded a little dull, but she could still vaguely hear some excitement.

Although she has lived in Demingham for a long time, the auction of the sea market is indeed the first time for Stephanie to participate, because she did not have much savings before, coupled with the problem of personal talent, the collection There aren't many things on the market that can help her, so she just doesn't care.

Naturally there is no such concern with Donald now. For this auction trip, Stephanie is also looking forward to the materials needed for emotional talent potion. Although it is not as crazy as energy shaping, it is not so easy to collect. , so she is also looking forward to this auction trip.

"Money? I don't have much. I haven't been to the sea market a few times during this time, and I only have what I have left from before."

Putting up the collar on his body to cover the gap at the neck, Donald said something casual.

The scrolls made by Donald did make money, but they were all used by him to exchange for his achievements in the Discord Bureau. The number of times they were actually sold at the sea market was only the previous few times.

Therefore, when it comes to cash, he actually doesn't have much on him, and the total amount is about 50 gold pounds.

"Fifty gold pounds, isn't it enough?"

For ordinary people, the purchasing power of 50 gold pounds is enough to support a family for several years, but for an auction of this level, it is naturally another statement.

It's no problem to go up and compete for the lottery, but if you really meet something you like, this amount of money will not be enough.

And Stephanie also knows that Donald currently lacks three materials for the talent potion, all of which are extremely rare items.

There is no need to say more about the five-leaf clover, in addition to it, there are also the crystal core of the magic worm and the blood of the fire scale fish.

The crystal nucleus of the devil worm, as the name suggests, is the crystal nucleus of a different beast called the devil worm, and some people say it is its heart.

Demon worms only live in some crystal mines that contain special energy, and rely solely on the energy needed to maintain life through the crystals. Apart from that, they neither need to eat anything nor excrete.

This special habit also means that in the entire life process, the magic worm is like a crystal ore mining machine that can only enter and cannot enter, constantly collecting the purest energy in the crystal as a collection of these energy. The crystal nucleus of the body is naturally precious.

The body of the magic worm often changes due to the different properties of the crystal mineral deposits in which it is located.

For example, the magic worms in the fire element spar mine have the color of molten lava. This is the carapace they secrete to protect their body. They have strong fire resistance. At the same time, they eat fire element crystals. A large amount of energy is accumulated in the body, and once provoked, it can easily release the fire element shock.

Is it somewhat familiar?

That's right, magic worms are very similar to Phantom Slimes in this regard, except that their form changes basically only once in a lifetime, and they cannot change with the elements in the environment like Phantom Slimes. Change your physical state.

Often, the discovery of demon worms means the discovery of spar deposits, and now the crystal mines in the entire Ryan Empire seem to be less than 100. Don’t think that this number is very large. Based on the territory of the entire empire, this is already a pitifully small number. .

As for the fire scale fish, it is even more wonderful.

With fire in its name, many people who hear it for the first time think it lives in volcanic lava.

On the contrary, the places where firescale fish are found are often extremely cold areas. This kind of fish is accustomed to living in ice water. If they are brought to warm water, they will die immediately in a few seconds.

The reason why they are called fire-scale fish is just because their scales show an orange-red flame color, which looks like a group of burning flames in the distance among those glaciers, hence the name.

The temperature of fire-scale fish blood is extremely low. It is said that it needs to be kept warm by ice cubes for storage. Even if the temperature deviation is caused by the slightest negligence, the fish blood will lose its effectiveness in an instant.

These two things may not have any effect for most people, but for some people who can use them, they are more valuable than anything else. Once they appear, the price will naturally not be low.

So Stephanie was a little worried about what Donald would do if he really encountered these two things later.

"Don't worry, there's not enough gold pounds, I'll make up for it."

Not much cash does not mean that there are not many valuable things. For this auction, Donald has been sleeping late at night every day. He has made no less than 30 wolfhound scrolls, and there are hundreds of them. The value of gold pounds, not to mention the real treasures in his hands.

The boat docked, and the sea market tonight was another scene. The lampposts that used to shine everywhere now concentrated all the lights in the most central area.

In the bright yellow light, the snowflakes all over the sky were covered with a golden shell, and below the light was a bustling crowd of aliens.

"I didn't expect that there are so many heretics in Demingham..."

Holding Donald's arm, Stephanie looked around at the group of heretics after she landed on the island. The largest gathering of heretics she had ever seen before was probably the assessment of the alien bureau at that time. day.

The voices of the pagans arguing with each other are loud here, and the scene inevitably turns to a noisy direction. This is a common phenomenon in the sea market, and this state is not necessarily annoying. In fact, those around People's talk about various strange things and some special events is often very interesting.

When this kind of content gradually increased and became mainstream, the sea market began to form a special atmosphere that made the whole person involuntarily excited.

As the crowd moved forward, Donald was carrying a bag, Lilo was also carrying a bag, and Stephanie was carrying a satchel.

Walking into the area shrouded by the halo cast by the lamp post, the first thing Donald saw was the large booth in the center.

The square structure, with two overlapping stone platforms, is nearly five feet above the ground.

This height is just right, so that people in the distance can see the auction items, and it is not so high that people close by will be obscured even if they look up.

All the heretics are only allowed to stand in front of the booth. One meter in front of the booth and the left and right sides, as well as the back, must be left empty.

This is to ensure the safety of the auction items, and to prevent some heathen robbery from some aliens who have no money but want to get the treasure.

This is not uncommon, and it happened quite often in the first few auctions.

After all, the rules of the sea bazaar had not yet been laid out at that time. Some foreign pagans always thought that this was just like their usual. When they saw something good, they would find a way to get it. If someone blocked it, they would kill them together. Grab the baby again.

Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent.

It was not until these people were hung on the reef outside the sea market to be eaten by sea beasts, and turned into disgusting corpses that were half human and half skeletons, and then turned into mummified corpses by the sun, that this kind of death-seeking behavior was really effectively curbed.

The auction of the sea market is an activity that belongs to the aliens. What everyone is looking for is the auction items that are treasured in the magic. Naturally, there are no bells and whistles of ordinary auctions. By one o'clock in the morning, the aperture area is almost full of people. After that, someone started to take the stage.

"Welcome to the quarterly auction of the sea market!"

"Oh~~"

Cheers sounded from all areas.

"This time there are 30 items in total, including strange objects, exotic animals, special items, and the talent scroll that attracts the most attention. There are all of them!"

"Oh~~"

The atmosphere reached another climax.

"The following is our No. 30 lot!"

The auctioneer is also a good person~lightnovelpub.net~ did not sell anything, so he went straight to the point after a few words.

Next to the booth, a woman in gorgeous clothes came to the stage with a tray made of pure gold and a cover made of pure silver.

"Lot No. 30, a strange object made of the tail feathers of the blue-crowned bird as the main material, floating feathers."

"The effect is that after using it, people can have the ability to float in the air for a period of five minutes, and can float and drift in any direction by waving feathers, and the speed is no less than that of ordinary cars on Demingham Street, and when passing by After rigorous testing, the maximum height that can be floated is 10 meters!"

"The starting price is 30 gold pounds, and each increase shall not be less than 2 gold pounds!"

The name, effect, price, and the voice fell, and someone immediately raised a placard, and there were still a lot of them.

"A strange object with floating movement effect can not only be used to escape from the battlefield, but also can be used to cross some special terrain. 30 gold pounds is definitely not enough, and it is estimated that it will cost about 50 gold pounds."

Donald, who just came over from the auction promotion, didn't intend to bid on this item. He had a water skateboard, and the floating feather was at most a "spare tire" for him, so it was naturally not worth spending 50 gold pounds.

He is looking forward to the appearance of what he wants, and at the same time, he is also thinking about how much the auction item he has just sent can be sold.
