Lord of War

Demonized weapons can be divided into three grades of bronze, silver, and gold according to their strength. And according to the size of the magic power of each level, it can be subdivided into five levels: slight effect, weak effect, medium effect, strong effect, and special effect. If it is only the level of demonization level equipment, there are fifteen levels in total, and the higher the level, the greater its power will naturally be.

However, not everyone can forge magical equipment.

Only those special craftsmen known as alchemy blacksmiths can forge this level of equipment. Among them, the level of forging skills and the use of materials are different, which also led to the high and low attainments of these alchemy blacksmiths.

Like Sean, as long as he is given enough materials, it is not a problem to forge gold-level magic equipment with his current skills, and the minimum guarantee can reach medium-efficiency gold.

For example, the Flame Spear Broken Kong used by Reina and the Flame Lion Fang used by Alfred are both medium-efficiency gold-grade equipment.

Of course, if he wants to increase his power again, Sean is not helpless. It's just that he still can't perfectly control the consumption of materials in this area, so it is very likely to lead to waste of materials, which is not worth the loss. After all, Sean's current family is not so rich that he can waste and consume these materials at will.

However, these are based on the "gold grade" standard as a premise.

If the "bronze grade" is used as the basic condition, Xiao En can forge whatever he wants. With his current skills, it is not a problem to make two pieces a day. If he is lucky, he can even forge three pieces. But if it is silver level. Then only one piece can be produced in about a week; as for the higher-level gold grade, it is already an amazing speed to be able to produce one piece within a month.

Before that, Sean had always used the prices in the game to measure the world's standard.

until now. When he saw that this magic dagger, which was very ordinary in Xiao En's eyes, could fetch a sky-high price of 80,000 yuan, Xiao En realized that he didn't know much about the prices in this world. This also made Sean finally understand why when so many people saw the magical weapons in the hands of Rena and Alfred before, even if those opponents were already very powerful, they would show such eager and envious eyes .

That's because demonized equipment is definitely a rare item in this world!

According to Sean's current understanding, there is only one alchemy blacksmith in the entire Ryan Kingdom, but what level of magic equipment can he make. Sean didn't know. The only information I got from Asuna was that this alchemy blacksmith only accepts four orders a year, except that the customers need to prepare the materials themselves. The handling fee is usually no less than 50,000 Pangea gold coins.

Taking this as a guessing point, Xiao En thinks that the level of this alchemy blacksmith is probably at the bronze level. If it is performed at a super level, it may be a powerful bronze magic equipment. The normal level is estimated to be between weak and medium effects. Only in this way. Only then can it explain why this mid-effect bronze short knife can fetch an astonishingly high price of 80,000 yuan. Because judging by the level of the Lane Kingdom, it is almost the price of asking that alchemy blacksmith to sell it.

But even so, there are still many nobles flocking to him in the Kingdom of Ryan, even fighting for such a place.

Xiao En curled his lips in disdain, and he decided to go back and get a piece of magic equipment to sell.

While Sean was thinking about what kind of enchanted equipment to make,

The auction is still in full swing. Perhaps because of the auspicious start, the next few auction items were sold at a good price, although it was not an astonishingly sky-high price. But compared to the normal price, it is still a bit of a profit, at least in Xiao En's eyes, they are all stupid people.

"The next auction item. It is a relatively rare material." At this time, standing on the booth was a new auctioneer. Unlike the previous auctioneers, this auctioneer was not too old. He is young, about twenty-six or seven years old, but he has an aura that cannot be compared with the previous auctioneers, "The Chamber of Commerce does not know the specifics of this material, because The auctioneer spoke in a vague way...For such an auction item, our chamber of commerce alliance generally would not take over, but the auctioneer said something, so we decided to give it a try. "

In general auctions, only one or two auctioneers are prepared, and they will use their eloquence to incite the atmosphere of the entire auction house, and even prepare some bidders to raise the price when necessary. Different chambers of commerce or auctions have different rules for sending auctions. The normal market price situation is that each auction item has to pay 10% of the transaction price as the income of the auctioneer. Of course, some Small chambers of commerce will definitely charge lower fees in this regard, so as to attract others to send auctions.

However, the auction officially held by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is different.

Usually they will arrange a dozen or more auctioneers, and each of them will draw lots to draw the number of the auction items, and be responsible for the related auction matters of these auction items. And their remuneration fee is 10% of the transaction price of the auction item. In addition, if the auction item is sent for auction and successfully auctioned, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will charge an additional 10% of the fee, which is equivalent to sending If the auctioneer successfully auctions the item, he must pay 20% of the salary to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

The auctioneer who was standing on the booth at the moment had clearly stated that this auction item was sent for auction, and also highlighted some special features of this auction item. Logically speaking, this is a taboo at the auction, but the reason why the Chamber of Commerce Alliance still makes so many people willing to pay 20% of the salary to send the auction is because the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has almost no possibility of failing the auction ——As for those who participated in the auction, the reason why they dare to spend money is because the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has a high degree of integrity, at least they will not buy fake or inferior products.

It's just that these things are not important to Sean.

What really matters. The auction item that caught Xiao En's eyes now.

This is an irregular crystal.

The whole body of the crystal is as black as ink, and there are some dusty substances like dust on it. It looks like it has fallen into sugar water and then rolled in a place like mud. First impression is that it is dirty. In addition, there are many tiny cracks on the surface of the crystal, which directly destroys the overall value of the crystal-if it is not for these cracks, then even if the crystal looks dirty, at least it is still dirty. It's worth a little money.

"Why, are you interested in that thing?" Asuna asked suddenly.

"If it's really black crystal fluorite..." Sean nodded, "then I'm really interested."

"Oh?" Asuna raised her eyebrows. Then he stared at the dirty-looking stone seriously.

"What's so good about a stone like this?" Kos on the side said with some doubts, "It doesn't look good, if you like obsidian, I'll send you some back. In my territory, obsidian and the like There are a lot of crystals."

"Puchi." Hearing what Kos said, Asuna suddenly laughed, and she glanced at Sean who was almost completely focused on the spar. Then said. "Things that can be studied so seriously by our Lord Xiao En, the value will definitely not be so cheap."

"No matter how valuable it is, the starting price is only 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins." Kos frowned. He didn't know what the value of this broken stone was.

"Twenty to thirty thousand?" Sean raised his brows, "If even the members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can't see the value of this thing, but it can be persuaded by the sender to auction it, then it proves that the sender The owner knows the value of this thing very well. In this way, the value will never be so low."

"This special material is the forging of magical equipment..."

The auctioneer's words just came out of his mouth. The already rustling conversation suddenly became silent, but after a few seconds of silence. Even if these private rooms have excellent sound insulation capabilities, they still can't block the tsunami-like sound.

"What level of enchanted equipment can this material be used for?"

"What is the specific function of this material?"

"How many pieces of magical equipment can this material provide?"

"This material..."

Questions one after another instantly drowned out the auctioneer on the booth.

After all these voices have undergone some voice-changing processing in the private room, but in fact, if you listen carefully, Asuna and Kos can still distinguish a few nobles who have had in-depth exchanges. Of course, these Now, without any surprise, the nobles are all on the opposite side of Xiao En and the others.

Facing the aggression of so many nobles, the auctioneer still had a calm expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pressed in the air, and the noisy noise soon became quiet. After the whole scene completely calmed down, the auctioneer said: "The sender didn't make it clear what is special about this material, so we actually don't know what's going on. But he said that if he is an alchemy blacksmith, he can definitely recognize the value of this material, so it can be said that this thing is a material prepared for the alchemy blacksmith."

This kind of statement is exactly the same as not being said, so soon these nobles started shouting in disorder again.

But this time, the auctioneer had no intention of replying. He picked up the auction mallet, tapped it three times on the booth, and then said in a deep voice: "Smoky crystal fluorite, the starting price is 50,000. The price increase should not be less than 5,000. The auction starts now."

"As expected of being one of the ace auctioneers of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and only this kind of bearing can hold these nobles down." Asuna narrowed her eyes slightly, and then smiled, "But I didn't expect that this time the Chamber of Commerce Alliance To actually let Jie Luo out, it seems that he attaches great importance to this auction."

Sean didn't know who Jie Luo was, but he knew very well that this three-day auction included such things as broken branches of the tree of life, so it was a good idea for an ace auctioneer to attend such an auction. It's a very normal thing. However, for people like Asuna who don't know the situation, Gero's appearance naturally has a different meaning. Many of the Lane nobles present may think that this is a move by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to curry favor with the Lane Kingdom.

"Wait a minute." When Jero decided to start the auction. But someone still interrupted him.

"Sir, do you have any questions?" Although Jie Luo still had a smile on his face, Sean was able to keenly sense that there was a faint and extremely mysterious aura floating around him at this moment. It was just that he was pressed down again soon.

Strong!

This unexpected discovery made Xiao En stunned for a moment. This kind of aura definitely belongs to the strong gold.

He didn't expect that this auctioneer, Jie Luo, was actually a gold-ranked powerhouse! It's just that it's a bit uncertain whether it's the upper-rank gold or the lower-rank gold. After all, his aura is too weak, if it wasn't for the dissatisfaction he showed at that moment just now. It's impossible for Sean to notice.

However, Sean was not the only one who could notice it, even Asuna and Kos became serious.

"I just want to know. If you take a picture of this fluorite and find it is a fake and shoddy product, what should you do if you lose money?"

"That's indeed smoky fluorite." Before Jie Luo could speak, someone interrupted the nobleman's voice. "This kind of material can indeed be used to make magical equipment. Even if other materials are slightly inferior, it is not a problem to make a pair of silver-level magical equipment.... The starting price of 50,000 is low."

Hearing this person's words, Sean immediately noticed that the entire auction house seemed to be in a fiery atmosphere.

However, not everyone will fall into a frenzy because of this "silver-level demonized equipment", and there are still many people who remain calm. Although they don't think that members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance need someone to trust them, the cautious attitude of the nobles still prevents them from trusting anyone easily, and some people still raise some new questions at this moment. Most of them were aimed at the person who spoke just now, asking about the identity of the other party.

"Hmph." Hearing so many nobles ask aggressively. This man was not as polite as Jie Luo, after a cold snort, he said in a deep voice, "I am Anom."

Hearing this, there was a sound of sucking air immediately.

Only Xiao En went in without knowing it: "Anom? Who is it? Is it very powerful?"

"The alchemy blacksmith on Dabion's side before." Asuna's voice was also a little excited, "I almost forgot about it! Back then Dabion was slightly stronger than Ryan in terms of national power, it was purely Because there are two alchemy blacksmiths on Dabion's side, one of them is the military's queen alchemy blacksmith, and the other is this Arnom... His reputation is greater than the other one, after all, forging The skill is there, and it is naturally much more powerful than our alchemy blacksmith in Ryan.... When the national war broke out, this alchemy blacksmith could no longer be found. I didn't expect that he was secretly brought back to the capital Now, depending on the situation, this alchemy blacksmith should officially join Ryan."

"Awesome?" Sean was a little curious, "How powerful is it?"

"It is said that he has already produced a dozen pieces of silver-level magic equipment." Asuna thought for a while, and then said, "However, if you want to calculate according to the middle-level silver craftsman standard of the Craftsman Guild, probably only Count nine."

There is actually a criterion for judging the strength of an alchemy blacksmith.

And this judgment standard is made by the Craftsman Guild.

Those who can forge bronze-level enchanted equipment are called bronze craftsmen; after that, they can forge ten pieces of medium-efficiency bronze enchanted equipment.

It can be regarded as a middle-level bronze craftsman; in the future, if you can forge ten special-effect bronze magic equipment, you will be a high-level bronze craftsman. As for the standards of silver and gold, it can be deduced in the same way, as long as it can be forged to meet this standard

For magic equipment, you can go to the craftsman guild to apply for certification, which is a very useful identity certification.

Like Sean, if you go to the Craftsman Guild, it is no problem to verify the title of a middle-level goldsmith.

This Anom is a silversmith.

As long as he successfully forges a middle-level silver-level magical equipment, he can get the title of middle-level silver craftsman.

"Then what about our former Ryan?" Sean thought of this, and asked again, "A high-level bronze craftsman?"

"En." Asuna nodded, "But I guess Mr. Kedi must be here now. It is said that he had already started trying to attack the silversmith last year, but it is not clear whether he succeeded.  … ...This year, I didn't have time to come back to the royal capital until now."

"Then I'm afraid this auction tonight is really going to be a bloodbath." Sean rubbed his nose and gave a wry smile.

He is very clear. Ryan, the alchemist, must have failed to make an impact.

In other words, both of these two alchemy blacksmiths urgently need this smoky crystal fluorite to attack their own higher stages. Regardless of the problems with the craftsmen's guild's own judgment criteria, for the craftsmen. This kind of perception that can be gained when successfully forging equipment is indeed not low, and it can even be said to be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For this reason, it is very rare in the game to fight for a piece of material.

In terms of the game, it means that the experience value and proficiency increase greatly.

At this time, no one in the auction dared to question the authenticity of the auction item again. After all, even an authoritative person like Anom had spoken. Who dares to be presumptuous in this respect? So soon, the atmosphere

It became a little condensed, and of course many people were curious. Since the starting price of this smoky crystal fluorite is so high, it has even completely exceeded the first auction item that was regarded as a good start, but why is it not the finale auction?

product?

It doesn't even appear in the directory.

Among the many nobles present, they all received catalogs sent by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. There are detailed descriptions of what will be auctioned in this three-day auction.

Maybe he sensed the doubts of everyone present. The auctioneer showed a smile and said: "Actually, this auction item is an auction item that we just received from the sender. Because the sender needs money urgently, many other steps have been omitted. Add it to this auction... If you have no questions, then we can start bidding."

After the auctioneer's words fell, the blacksmith named Anom said directly: "Two hundred thousand!"

There was a "wow". There was an uproar in the entire auction house.

"Tsk." Sean smacked his lips, "These blacksmiths are really rich."

"Because everyone asks them to help. Of course they have money." Asuna smiled, "Two hundred thousand, for Ryan, is just a year's remuneration. If you count other I’m afraid there will be more than this amount of money for a year.”

"The money comes quickly, but the expenses are high." Xiao En said indifferently.

The real most profitable ones are the alchemy blacksmiths who are above the level of middle-level silversmiths.

A high-level bronze craftsman like Anom and the Kingdom of Ryan is still in the stage of "burning proficiency". Even if there is a profit, the deposit is probably not too big. However, these two craftsmen are very smart, relying on

The royal family or those nobles who ask for them can save a lot of money by burning their proficiency. This is the same reason as those professional players who joined the large guilds in the game.

"Two hundred thousand for the second time."

After Arnom spoke, the entire venue was silent for a full ten seconds, and still no one dared to bid, and the auctioneer finally began to raise his hammer helplessly.

"Two hundred thousand..."

"250,000!" At the moment when the hammer was about to fall, someone finally started to quote again.

"Huh?" Anom's dissatisfied cold snort came from that room.

"In Ryan, you are not the only alchemy blacksmith." The second bidder returned the same sneer to Arnom's dissatisfied cold snort.

At this moment, if no one knows the identity of this person, then these people present are not old foxes in the political field.

Obviously, the next scene must belong to the battle between these two alchemy blacksmiths.

As for such a shocking and bloody scene, there are undoubtedly two people present who are most willing to see it.

The first place, of course, is the ace auctioneer Jie Luo.

The higher the price of this thing, the higher the reward he can get.

And the second place, of course, is the sender.

Although he has to pay 20% of the auction price to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the money he can get will definitely not be much less.

After Anom guessed the identity of the second bidder, he stopped talking nonsense and started bidding directly. But in the face of Arnom's bid, Ryan, the alchemy blacksmith, naturally insisted on it, so in just a short time, the smoky fluorite has been photographed for a real sky-high price of 500,000!

A piece of ordinary silver-level enchanted equipment, even if Xiao En miscalculated the price of this world before, it will never exceed the price of 200,000. Even medium-grade silver equipment, unless it has some special performance, will fluctuate around 300,000. If the performance is particularly good, it may be sold for around 400,000 through auctions or other means.

Further up, that is the price of gold grade magic equipment.

Xiao En originally thought that the equipment of the medium-efficiency gold grade was only worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, which was really an insult to the magic equipment. Fortunately, through this lively auction today, Sean's common sense in this area has finally been replenished, which is also a very good progress for his future plans to make money. Therefore, he naturally understands the true value of such crafting materials better than anyone else.

No matter from which aspect, smoky crystal fluorite has far exceeded its own value.

After all, this is just a material for a piece of silver magic equipment.

But this is only for the vast majority of alchemy blacksmiths in this world.

In Xiao En's eyes, at least the smoky fluorite has not reached its true value limit.

However, the astonishing sky-high price of 500,000 yuan finally cooled the feverish minds of the two alchemy blacksmiths a little.

It's just this kind of cooling, that is, a slight drop in temperature.

Because for these two people, the real value of smoky crystal fluorite does not lie in forging a piece of silver equipment, but in breaking through their current shackles and allowing them to advance to a more advanced stage. Either breakout to silver

A craftsman, or a middle-level silversmith, is still a rare insight and harvest for these two alchemy blacksmiths. This harvest will be returned to them at ten times the current price in the future.

"510,000." The bidder was Ryan's original blacksmith.

"Heh." Anom still sneered and mocked simply and rudely, "550,000."

"570,000."

"Six hundred thousand."

On the one hand, there is an increase of 10,000 to 10,000, but on the other side, the increase is still tens of thousands. The economic gap between the two has been clearly reflected. Of course, the possibility that this alchemy blacksmith in the Kingdom of Ryan is hiding his clumsiness is not ruled out. After all, the money he has earned over the years has hardly been paid. It is impossible to save only this point, unless something really happens Things cost.

In the blink of an eye, the bidding price quickly rose to 780,000.

At this time, Ryan's alchemy blacksmith still had an increase of 5,500, which was the lowest increase mentioned by the auctioneer before. On the other hand, Anom, it is obvious that he has almost reached the limit, because he is no longer the previous tens of thousands of tens of thousands of price increases, but started to increase the price of 10,000 to 10,000.

But at this moment, Xiao En frowned slightly, and he suddenly understood something: "Arnom has long known that Ryan, the alchemist and blacksmith, is here tonight, and obviously also knows that there is such a black crystal fluorite It's up for auction."

"What?" Asuna and Kos were a little surprised.

"Arnom really wants to attack the strength of the silversmiths in the middle class, but what he wants to rely on is not this smoky fluorite." Sean said in a deep voice, "It should have other plans, but the funds are not enough. So he is digging a hole, trying to squeeze his opponent's funds to serve as his stepping stone... Tsk, it's really a shame to be a goldsmith with this kind of mind."

Almost as long as Xiao En was talking, the smoky fluorite had been photographed for 830,000 yuan.

The winner of the auction is the alchemy blacksmith of the Kingdom of Ryan. Arnom has not bid for more than ten seconds, so the auctioneer's countdown has begun.

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand for the first time!"

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand for the second time!"

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand third..."

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand."

As soon as the bid came out, everyone was shocked!

ps: There have been a lot of things in the past two days. I'm sorry. I thought that this week was the worst and I could keep updating. I'm really sorry.
