MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse-Chapter 372 ,auctions

Chapter 372, Auction

 Following the auctioneer's introduction, the woman behind him also began to show the skill book in her hand.

 The appearance of the books is a bit old.

The outer skin is mottled and the edges are curled and blackened. It looks like it was dug out of some ruins.

After letting everyone take a few glances, he continued: "The appearance is a bit old, but the interior content is complete, with no missing pages or traces of smearing, which does not affect normal viewing. The starting price is 300 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 20. "

 After saying that, the auctioneer smiled and stopped talking.

 At the bottom of the stands, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

 Compared to the price of hundreds or even thousands of gold coins for the mining rights of various minerals, the low price of 300 does not sound like a lot.

 However, skill books also have corresponding price distinctions on the market.

For example, level three meritorious deeds can be exchanged for advanced skill books, and the corresponding price is about 500 silver coins.

 This multiplication has greatly exceeded the value of a normal skill book.

"You think so, the book is not a consumable. If you take it this time, it can be studied by many people. It can even be placed in the library of the Mage Association or the Magic Academy. The value can be far more than these hundreds of gold coins."

 It seems that the mouth has no time to speak.

 It was the man and woman who met on a date when they boarded the ship.

Wu Heng also refocused his attention on on-site bidding.

Wu Heng raised the number plate in his hand, "570."

 Some organizations buy it back, and in addition to studying it themselves, they can also put it in libraries for other people to study.

 “340!”

 “Even so, it’s too expensive.” The woman still said.

 The effect of the skill should be a hidden function.

 The warlock's skills.

 But the number of people is obviously not large, and the price is also increasing according to the lowest price, which does not seem to be drastic.

  A woman's voice said: "The price is so expensive, I can buy dozens of advanced skill books."

  But from the conversation between the two, we can also learn some things.

 The books were taken down.

 After the auctioneer called out the price three times, he said directly: "570 gold, won by guest No. 057, congratulations to the guest."

 Holy shit, it’s them.

  “360….”

Wu Heng complained in his heart, and the sound of two people talking in low voices came from the side.

Immediately afterwards, another skill book was brought up on a tray by the staff, "Shadow of Moi, a magician's book. After learning, a shadow will cover the whole body, leaving oneself in a state of severe concealment. When attacking, it will cause necrotic damage. Start shooting. The price is 250 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 5 gold coins.”

Wu Heng was a little excited when he heard the bidding, but the price was a little too outrageous.

  However, there was no further price increase.

 Now we meet them again.

　　Warlock is also a relatively rare ability.

They leaned together and talked about love.

 Professional characteristics, similar to those of clergy of the Holy See, whose power comes from gods.

The auctioneer glanced down and said loudly: "550 gold a time, if you are in need, don't miss this opportunity."

 The person who bid before looked back hesitantly.

 The price has been soaring and has reached 550 gold.

 The difference is the way to exchange power with the gods.

 “550 gold twice….”

 The auctioneer paused and immediately said: "This guest costs 570 gold. Does anyone else want to increase the price?"

The man paused for a moment and then added: "A mage is very persistent in academics and knowledge. Even if he is not from his own school, he would still want to buy it back and study it."

 There were a few people in the audience, and someone started bidding.

In other words, the reason why this kind of skill book is expensive is that it is not available on the market, not even in the libraries of some mage organizations.

Beside the woman, another man's voice explained softly, "The fact that it is sold so expensive means that there is no such skill book out there. It may not be the only one, but it is definitely a skill that is not included in the various mage organizations."

Wu Heng thought for a moment and immediately thought of the two of them.

 “That’s right.” The woman agreed.

 “320!”

 The man and woman were talking about their skills.

Wu Heng also wanted to hear what the man and woman had to say, so he turned his head and glanced, and saw that their faces were close to each other.

　　It’s so convenient to grab money. We have to hold an auction.

 The bidding started again, and the price increased little by little.

At this time, a staff member bent over and said softly, "Guest, these are the goods you purchased. You need to pay 570 gold coins."

 Since his face was covered with a cloak, everything was delivered directly.

Wu Heng nodded, took out a money bag from the space ring and handed it to the other party.

That old book also appeared in his hand.

 【Modern Ken Mansion Technique】

  (Description: You can build a different-dimensional space and summon the appearance of the residence at any time within the casting distance.)

 It’s really just like what was introduced, it can create a space in a different dimension.

 The name is called mansion magic. It should be that the original intention of the founder of the magic is to build a living space.

If Wuheng was to be built, mansions would be of little use.

 Barracks or warehouses are more suitable for you.

 The staff also counted the number of coins, saluted and left.

 The auction continues.

 The book auction was relatively short-lived, with a total of only 5 skill books sold.

In addition to the ‘Mansion Technique’ that I bought, I also have two books of Warlock, one of Divine Guard and one of Wanderer.

 The selling price is the highest for luxury houses.

 …

 After the end of the book auction.

 The auctioneer on the stage smiled and saluted, then turned around and walked away.

A female elf in a long aqua dress walked to the middle of the auction table again, saluted and said loudly, "The following is an auction of magic props and rare objects. I hope that the distinguished guests can choose the items they like."

 Hands clapping lightly, the staff holding the trays were all replaced by elves.

 Slowly walked onto the auction stage, and the silk cover on the plate opened, revealing a kit-like item.

The auctioneer introduced: "A space sachet takes three years to be completed by a master-level rune master. It has an internal storage space of 100 cubic meters and is priced at 2,500 gold coins. The price will increase by no less than 100 each time. Please..."

Beside them, the two of them separated, looking at the stands and whispering.

“The space sachets have been sold. The consortium is short of money this year.”

“Actually, the price is not bad. If you use it for business, you can make it back in a few years.”

"I like this…."

“Well, the price will be very high. I will buy you a larger space ring when you go back.”

 “Okay, why do I fall in love with you? You are so poor.”

"Charisma."

 The two said a few words, then leaned together and continued to talk about other things.

Wu Heng also looked at the sachet on the stage.

He had seen this item when he was in Luntam City. At that time, it was 'Lecia' of the Snake Emblem Consortium, and she had one.

It also belongs to the Snake Emblem Consortium, and Lecia, as the resident manager, can use it.

At that time, he borrowed it from Lecia and used it. He only knew that the storage space inside was very large, but he did not expect that it would be 100 cubic meters.

 A cube is not a square, although it is an exaggeration to say it is comparable to a cargo ship.

 But it can also carry a large amount of goods for transportation, and you can make money back after running for a few years.

 Soon people started asking for prices.

 The price quickly soared from 2,500 to 7,500 gold coins.

 It’s getting more and more outrageous.

Wu Heng was also surprised, there were so many rich people.

 The price reached 8200, and the bidding speed gradually slowed down.

Wu Heng started calling out the price, "8300."

“8400!” Someone followed the price in front of me.

“8500,” Wu Heng continued to follow.

　　　….”

  “9000.”

When Wu Heng shouted 9000, the whole audience fell into silence.

The auctioneer still kept smiling and said: "9,000 gold coins once, 9,000 gold coins twice,...three times. Congratulations to Guest No. 057 for winning the 'Space Sachet'."

 The sachet was taken away.

 Then, the next item is sent to the field.

The auctioneer said: "Guardian glove, a weapon worn by El's great boxer, can increase the user's speed and attack, resist divine consciousness and mental interference, and at the same time..., the etching skill 'Cangshan Blessing' will form when used. Petrify the skin and increase the body’s comprehensive ability. The starting price is 200 gold coins, and the price will be increased by no less than 10 gold coins each time.”

 The price has come down a bit.

  But as a magic prop, it is still a bit exaggerated.

 At the trade fair just now, the warhammer that can release thunder and lightning was bought for only two gold coins.

 It has doubled so many times at once.

Wu Heng looked at the reactions of others.

 The man and woman next to him were still kissing passionately, and after a while of low-pitched exchanges, the others also started bidding.

 The price has been raised all the way to 430 gold coins.

 It seems that everyone still approves of this magic prop.

 Furthermore, under his command, Bawudong and Sharktooth are both relatively high-level boxers, and they can also be used by Minnie in the future.

No matter how much you think about it, don’t waste it. After thinking about it, he also shouted the price.

 After the price reached 480 gold, no one raised the price again.

 After the auctioneer called out the price three times, the hammer fell directly, "Congratulations to guest 057, for receiving the 'Guardian Fist'."

 The auction continues.

 But something was not quite right at the scene.

“Congratulations to Guest No. 057 for taking the photo of ‘Martial Fantasy Double Blade’.”

 “Congratulations to guest No. 057, for taking the photo of ‘Wind Thread Clothes’.”

“Congratulations to Guest No. 057 for taking the photo of ‘Lion Armor’.”

“Congratulations to Guest No. 057 for taking the photo of the ‘Holy War Glory Armor’.”

 The whole place was quiet.

Everyone turned around and looked at the location behind the photo.

 Even though the cloak cannot see the faces and expressions, everyone seems to be frozen in their seats.

Curiosity and surprise can also be seen.

 …

 “How much money did he bring here? If one thing is lost, take pictures of them all!”

“Did you rob the consortium’s treasury?”

“Judging from the voice, he should be young. Judging from his height, he should be a human or an elf.”

“I think it’s from the Kingdom of Ke. I heard that the royal family over there is having a lot of trouble, so maybe all the money has been transferred away.”

 “Why did he buy so many?”

 The people who rarely interacted with each other began to discuss each other as they approached.

 The sachet in the front space cost 9,000 gold, and there are several props in the back that cost hundreds of gold.

This is how much money I brought here to dare to treat the auction as an ordinary store.

 The wealth is so powerful that it’s scary.

Everyone looked over.

Wu Heng is nothing, since no one knows anyone.

　　On the contrary, the two people who were making out on one side became cautious and wanted to get closer together, but also felt a little guilty because they were both looking this way.

 Several staff members came over.

Hold the item you just photographed in your hand.

"Guest, this is the item you bought. You need to pay a total of 3570 gold coins." A staff member said softly.

 The prices of the four props are between two and three hundred gold.

  Apparently, the original space sachet was the most expensive item, and it was also sold as the first item in the prop category.

Wu Heng nodded, "I want to exchange some gold coins."

“Sure guest, would you like to exchange items of equal value or gold?”

 “Gold exchange.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll arrange for someone to come over.” the staff said.

On the stage, the auctioneer loudly introduced the last rare item.

 But everyone at the scene was looking at Wu Heng's position, intending to see if he could take down so many things in one go.

 Halfway through the introduction, the auctioneer could only smile awkwardly when she saw that no one was listening to her.

 The auction was suspended, waiting for Wu Heng to exchange gold.

 Soon, two dwarfs came over from a distance.

 Smiled and said: "Guest, do you need to exchange gold coins?"

Wu Heng took out two schoolbags and handed them to the other party.

 The schoolbag was opened, and inside it was filled with gold and silver jewelry.

The dwarf nodded, "Guest, please wait a moment. We need to weigh the finished jewelry. If the jewelry is in good condition, we will settle the price for you at a 10% premium."

Wu Heng nodded, indicating that it was okay.

 Two schoolbags of gold weigh about 100 kilograms.

 Including the premium, it’s almost the same.

 …

 The weight of gold is measured here.

 Everyone behind was even more surprised.

 “It’s all gold, bring so much money.”

“It must have been brought from some royal warehouse, otherwise it cannot be jewelry of this quality.”

“Well, there is a high possibility that whoever brings them out will be finished jewelry.”

 “You are so rich. Come to the consortium to clear out the auction.”

 Everyone is still discussing.

  The dwarf has also been verified and weighed.

ˆ said: "Guest, according to the premium, the total is 4211 gold coins. After deducting the gold coins for the goods you purchased, the remaining 641 gold coins are left."

"Can!"

"Please wait."

 Soon, two money bags were delivered.

The gold jewelry was also taken away by the other party.

Wu Heng put away all the props and gold coins he bought.

 The auction continues again.

 …

The female auctioneer smiled again and said: "Next is the last item in this auction. Customers who have not chosen the item they want can seize the opportunity."

He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to look at the object aside, and continued to introduce, "The strange object, the Evil Sword Silent Blade, any living being that moves around the user will be attacked by the weapon, including the user. There are no special side effects."

 Hearing the excitement below the Evil Sword instantly became lively again.

 “O evil sword, take these out and sell them.”

“A few days ago, Kerimu came to the island with the evil sword and was killed by Imiro.”

 “The one in Kerimu is called ‘Ningwu’, not this one.”

“What’s going on recently? This kind of evil sword has begun to circulate outside.”

"Maybe in a few days, that Ningwu will be sold. Imiro has the holy sword of the elves in his hand, so he won't take a fancy to that evil weapon."

"Right!"

 Everyone was talking in low voices.

The auctioneer continued: "The starting price is 1,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 50. Everyone, you can start."

 “The starting price is not low.”

 “Sword weapons have always been easy to sell.”

“This is because there is someone here who knows the truth, so the consortium has increased the price!”

 “Evil swords are inherently expensive,”

  “1050.”

  “1100.”

 The bidding begins.

Wu Heng said directly, "1150."

 Everyone bids for a meal.

 Look back again.

 Sure enough, it started again.

Most people listened to his bid and did not increase the price.

 There were only one or two people, and when the price reached 2150 gold coins, no one continued to speak.

 It was still bought by Wu Heng.

The auctioneer still repeated what he said before, "Congratulations to Guest No. 057 for bidding on the 'Evil Sword Silent Blade'."

The staff walked to Wu Heng's side with weapons in hand under everyone's gaze.

 After exchanging some more gold coins, the transaction was completed.

　　Put away the strange things.

The auctioneer said again: "Thank you for your participation. The auction is over. You can return to your city via the ship you came from. I wish you all a happy life."

 The woman saluted and left the stage directly.

The guests also stood up and walked outside.

When Wu Heng also stood up, a staff member walked over quickly.

He said softly: "Guest, please come over, sir."

Wu Heng was stunned for a moment, and his heart tightened at first, thinking that another trouble would happen.

 But it doesn’t feel right. If you buy something from a consortium, it’s impossible for the consortium to cause trouble for you.

Moreover, so many people present have seen it. Unless they want to ruin their own sign, they will never do such a stupid thing.

 “Lead the way.”

 The staff nodded and led them to the side hall on one side.

 …

 Enter a room.

 A faint fragrance came out, and the female auctioneer on the stage just now was sitting in the room.

Seeing him come in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Guest, please sit down."

Wu Heng sat down aside and was also curious about the other person's purpose of calling him here. He asked directly: "What do you want from me?"
