Lord of War

The entire auction house fell into ten seconds of silence.

But Jie Luo is worthy of being the ace auctioneer, he quickly realized, and began to announce whether there were any bidders.

At this moment, many people in the auction are still in a state of shock.

Although these people don't know the exact price of smoky crystal fluorite, but in their opinion, the price of a piece of silver-level magic equipment is about 400,000 yuan, but a piece of material can be sold for 850,000 yuan , isn't this a loss?

Almost all nobles have this idea.

Including Asuna and Kos.

The two of them looked at Sean in shock.

Because the offer of 850,000 yuan just now was called out by Xiao En.

"You...are you crazy?" Even Asuna couldn't help becoming agitated.

Of course, the reason for her excitement was not that Sean spent so much money on a completely worthless thing, but...

"Do you have this much money?"

Facing Asuna's frank question, Sean shrugged: "No."

"Then you still pay 850,000 yuan?" Kos frowned, "This price is not affordable by ordinary people. Even a marquis with a real estate will need at least four or five years to save money." Come on. Of course, this time refers to the formal way, if there are other gray incomes, it may be faster."

The general way for the nobles to save their wealth is nothing more than to squeeze the people of the territory, or to manage the special products in their own territory, or to form a mercenary to go out to earn extra money. And this way of getting money usually doesn't go anywhere quickly, so there will be other gray income methods. For example, some more frenzied lords will even raise a group of robbers to wantonly plunder the caravans in their territories.

As for Sean, he was just a duke who had just obtained his territory. Before that, he was a pioneering knight with only the title of Baron. So it is conceivable that it is impossible for him to have a family property of 850,000 yuan, and even if he has, his current territory is almost battered in the war, and this money is not spent on the reconstruction of the territory invest. Instead, it is used to buy such a material, no one can understand it.

But if you can't understand it, you can't understand it. They are still a whole after all.

"I can probably lend you two hundred thousand.

Kos thought for a moment, and then said.

"I can only lend you 100,000." Asuna also said, "If you borrow some money from other people, you can still get 850,000."

Asuna's current situation also requires money in many ways. It is not easy to save the 100,000 gold coins to borrow from Sean.

However, perhaps seeing that Xiao En and the others needed to borrow money to bid for the auction, the attitudes of the maids in the room towards Kos and the others immediately changed subtly. It’s just that these people were all trained by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance after all, so this subtle change in attitude is naturally hidden very deeply. If Sean was not very sensitive to changes in breath, he would not have noticed the change in the attitude of these maids .

"No need." The attitude towards Kos and Asuna. Sean was naturally very moved, "The Union of Chambers of Commerce will not take this little money seriously, and if I take pictures, do you think they really dare to take money?"

"That's not sure." Asuna shook her head. "I heard that Lodesc is a very cunning old fox. If he pretends not to know anything, you will still have to pay the money."

Xiao En smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter. As long as the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is willing to barter. ... However, I wish that the old fox would pretend to know nothing, so that it would be more convenient for me to ask for it." Something. I'd be ashamed if he was really too polite."

As for what Sean said, Kos and Asuna naturally heard clearly, so they didn't make any comments. It's just that if Sean needs to borrow money, they can only prepare to lend it to him. No matter how much it is, it will be a very big burden for them who are currently undergoing post-war repairs and reconstruction. Only the nobles of the royal capital who have almost no losses in the current auction house. It is still possible to spend a lot of money here.

However, just as Xiao En and the others spoke so skillfully, the moment the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, the alchemy blacksmith of Ryan quoted a new price again.

nine hundred thousand.

This is probably the final bottom line of his complete bankruptcy.

Asuna and Kos looked at Sean, because Sean's next actions will directly depend on whether the relationship between the nobles outside the Great Wall and the alchemy blacksmith is friendly or hostile in the days to come.

but. The price that could have been won at 830,000 yuan was abruptly raised by Sean to 900,000 yuan. I am afraid that this is also doomed that the two sides will not be able to get along with each other in the future. If anyone had to be happy, it would probably be Arnom, the blacksmith, because at this moment Sean was pretty sure that the smoky crystal fluorite was definitely put up for auction by this guy himself, so the auction was very successful. The taller he is, the happier he is.

It is best that the money should be paid by Ryan, the alchemy blacksmith.

Because in this way, he can achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.

"950,000." Sean quoted the price again.

Inside the auction house, there was once again silence.

But this time, the ace auctioneer Jie Luo didn't lose his mind again, but quickly got into the mood and started to stir up the atmosphere. But it is a pity that only those who really understand its value will bid for this auction due to the particularity of smoky fluorite, and it has already been snatched to such a sky-high price, so even if Jie Luo wants to break a transaction price record, that is Impossible.

So this time, when Jero announced three transactions, no one asked to cut the price.

"I really can't figure out why you took this thing." Asuna saw that Xiao En finally paid a sky-high price for such a material, she still couldn't understand, "If this material is really like this As Noam said, the market price is at most 400,000 yuan, and if it can be robbed to 830,000 yuan, I think it is a dispute between two alchemists and blacksmiths... But you are lucky, and you spent 90 yuan directly 50,000 bids."

"That's because Anom is an idiot." Sean curled his lips in disdain, "A mere silversmith really thinks that the world is invincible? But it's just a frog in a well. He doesn't know the true meaning of smoky crystal fluorite." The value. If he knows, then he will definitely regret selling such a thing for 950,000 today. You know, smoky crystal fluorite is not a common material in the surface world."

Hearing Xiao En's words, both Asuna and Kos looked a little surprised.

Because the two of them are not vase maids professionally trained by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the two of them naturally recognized the hidden meaning in Xiao En's words. It is obvious that Sean is very happy that he can win the smoky crystal fluorite for 950,000 yuan, as if he picked a bargain.

"Isn't this something that can only create silver-level magic equipment?"

"If you use this stuff purely as a material, you can indeed only create silver-level magic equipment." Xiao En nodded, "But if it is combined with several other materials, it can be made into a special stable magical equipment." ...and this kind of magic power stabilizer is specially used on some gold-level magic equipment with special special effects. Let me say that. Can you understand the true value of smoky crystal fluorite?"

Hearing Xiao En's words, not only Asuna and Kos, but even the maids were shocked.

Because if Xiao En's statement is correct, then the true value of smoky crystal fluorite may be around two million.

Of course, it is impossible to sell such expensive gold magic equipment with special effects. Usually the transaction price is around one million, occasionally if there are several rich and powerful people in the auction house at the same time. Then the transaction price may be raised by hundreds of thousands, but this is the limit. But what Xiao En said was the gold-level magical equipment with special special effects, so the significance of this is extraordinary.

The so-called special means that it is either tailor-made for the user, or it is comparable to the famous legendary epic equipment.

No matter which one it is, it determines that the value of this kind of gold equipment cannot be so low.

In the most intuitive proportions. If a low-level sanctuary powerhouse possesses a specially tailored gold-level magic weapon with special effects, he can even exert his own strength to the extent of two hundred or three hundred percent. The strong men in the upper sanctuary did not dare to provoke them easily. As for the middle sanctuary, it already belongs to the existence that can be ignored by it.

This is what truly determines the value of this kind of gold-level magic equipment with special effects. After all, its power is no less than mythical-level equipment in the right hands.

So equipment like this cannot be bought with money.

In this way, Sean only paid 950,000 yuan to buy the smoky fluorite, which is indeed a very cheap price.

However, everyone present was very suspicious of why Sean would know this.

As a war madman, Kos is used to communicating in a more straightforward manner, so he thought of this question. He immediately asked. After hearing what Kos said, although the maids next to him pretended to be indifferent and did not look sideways, their sudden heartbeats and slightly twitching ears still betrayed their thoughts at this time. It is obvious that these people have already concentrated their attention Li is ready to get information from Sean.

In fact, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce arranged for these maids to be in the rooms of the various guests. There is also no kindness.

On the surface, these maids only do some serving work, but at the same time they are also the best tool for the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to gather intelligence. As long as they stay in the room, they can naturally hear a lot of secrets or other information, news, etc. After they go back, they can get a good reward as long as they report the news they heard. For things like screening, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is naturally in charge of others.

Sean is actually very clear about these, but he doesn't really care.

Because since he has decided that he will probably make good use of his life and career to make money in the future, it is not something he cannot do to make a little noise. After all, he is now a duke who owns a territory, and there are many strong men under his command, so he doesn't need to hide the fact that he is a goldsmith. After all, there is no nobleman who dares to force He does something he doesn't like to do?

"Where do you think Fred and Rena's weapons came from?" Sean chuckled lightly, and answered Cos's question very simply.

Those maids still didn't react, but Kos and Asuna were too shocked to speak.

Because the two of them never thought that Xiao En was actually a middle-level goldsmith!

at this time. There was a knock on the door.

After receiving Sean's signal, a maid finally opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the ace auctioneer Jie Luo, holding a beautifully crafted box in his hand, and there was no doubt that the smoky crystal fluorite was obviously placed inside.

According to the usual situation of the Chamber of Commerce Union. The auctioneer will definitely come with the accompanying guards. Although it is nominally to protect the safety of the auction items, everyone knows that it is just to prevent guests from messing around.

But this time, the ace auctioneer Jie Luo came alone outside the door. It's really hard for Xiao En to say whether the other party's art is bold, or whether he has absolute confidence in the safety of tonight's auction. self-confidence.

In either case of course. Anyway, Sean didn't care, he just motioned for the other party to come in after seeing the other party.

After entering the room, Jie Luo gently put the box in his hand on the table next to him, then opened it, and said in a deep and hoarse voice that was different from the passionate tone of the auction: "Dear sir, this It is the smoky fluorite you took. Please check it, and if there is no problem, please pay the bill. We can accept any payment method."

Sean nodded slightly, then stepped forward to pick up the smoky fluorite and began to examine it carefully.

It was no different from the smoky fluorite that Sean had observed before, but when he held it in his hand, Sean discovered that the cracks on this smoky fluorite were larger than those he saw on the display stand before. It is more subtle, and even in many places it is as smooth and tidy as ink.

This discovery made Sean frown.

When Jie Luo, who had been watching carefully, saw Sean frowning. He couldn't help but said: "Sir, do you have any questions?"

"On the display stand just now, you seemed to have deliberately concealed the situation behind this spar." Sean pointed to the smooth corner of the smoky fluorite, and said in a deep voice, "I'm curious, this is the meaning of your chamber of commerce alliance , or is that what the sender told you?"

"Sir, is there any difference?" Jie Luo froze for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Asuna and Kos also asked at the same time.

Sean ignored the ace auctioneer, but turned his head to look at Asuna and Koss, and then explained: "The real value of smoky fluorite does not lie on its surface. It lies in the core inside the spar Therefore, to distinguish the purity of smoky crystal fluorite, it is not based on its crystal clearness, but on the size and number of cracks on the surface of the crystal. The larger the cracks, the more dense they are, the proof is that The higher the purity of the spar, the more mature it is, so only some special knocking techniques are required. Then the core block inside can be completely taken out."

After the explanation, Xiao En pointed to the smoky fluorite on his hand, and said, "Although the cracks on the surface of this smoky fluorite are quite dense, the lines of the cracks are not large, and there are many more. There are interruptions, and even the bottom part is smooth and even without cracks. This is enough to prove that this piece of black crystal fluorite is not a mature black crystal fluorite. If the inner core block is forcibly taken out, it will definitely suffer. So if I want to take out the core block perfectly, I have to spend more energy, time and money to guide and complete this process.”

After saying this, Sean threw the smoky fluorite back into the box with an expression of indifference, and then turned his head to look at Jie Luo. This time his attitude and tone were not so friendly: "If the sender If you are asked to do this, then I can still understand that your chamber of commerce alliance is a bit ignorant because there are no professionals to follow it this time; but if your chamber of commerce alliance decides to do this by itself, then can I understand that your chamber of commerce alliance has malicious deception? Behavior?"

Hearing this, Jie Luo's face changed instantly.

"This thing is not worth 950,000 yuan." Xiao En pouted, "Let alone 950,000 yuan, even 300,000 yuan is a waste of money."

"Your Excellency..." Jie Luo hurriedly said, as if he wanted to remedy something.

It's just that Sean didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly interrupted him: "If you have anything to say, go and explain it to Lodesk. By the way, when you see Lordesk, you can tell me something by the way, Today, I have directly charged the account to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Therefore, the conditions I told him this morning are all void, because I am very unhappy now....Since you don’t even know how to strictly control the auction, why bother? What kind of auction are you doing?"

Jie Luo's face also became a little ugly at this time.

Although he didn't know about Sean's background, he was still very clear about Lordesque, and a person who could make Lordesque come to visit him personally to negotiate conditions would naturally not be an idle person. At least, the black-haired young man in front of him definitely has something that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance needs to pay attention to. But if you offend such a person, you can imagine what will happen to Jie Luo. After all, in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the ace auctioneer has 80 if not 100. Strictly speaking, it is really worthless.

But Xiao En and the others didn't give Jie Luo any chance to explain at all, and left very simply and neatly.

This made Jie Luo feel extremely angry at the sender.

However, these have nothing to do with Xiao En and others.

For Sean, what he needs to consider now is how to release the news to let the alchemy blacksmith of Ryan know that he saved his life. Because he does intend to create a few pieces of bronze magic equipment to sell some money, but he lacks enough materials at hand, so maybe he can start with this blacksmith. Of course, there is another advantage, that is, Sean has already figured out how to take this opportunity to blackmail the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

So speaking of it, he might really have to thank Arnom. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
