Lord of Lowland

Chapter 41 The Climax of the Auction
As soon as this piece of equipment came on stage, it immediately ignited the atmosphere of the audience, and everyone's eyes suddenly became extremely eager. When Vargas shouted the phrase "start the auction", the quotations came one after another.Prices keep going up.

After the gold coins reached 2000 million, the number of bidders continued to decrease. Although everyone was aristocratic, if the price reached more than [-] million gold coins, it would not be a small number.From the perspective of the cost performance of a piece of equipment, if there is no decisive improvement for oneself, then even epic equipment will not rush to pay for it.

Gradually when it reached 3000 million gold coins, there were only two people who were still insisting on bidding, one was Ophelina, and the other was a beautiful woman in a blue dress. From the template, Cecil saw that her name was Caris is the daughter of a marquis, and more importantly, he is also a life priest of the Temple of Life like Oufeilina, so he is fully motivated to fight with Oufeilina to the end.

Under the competition between the two, the price rose all the way, and soon exceeded 5000 million gold coins.At the price of 5500 million gold coins, Ou Feilina finally chose to give up. In terms of financial resources, there is still some gap between her and the other party.Ofelina smiled helplessly at Carlisle, expressing her abandonment, and Carlisle smiled back.

Just when Vargas was about to make the final decision, a man's voice suddenly came out from the second floor
"100 magic crystal nuclei!"

Everyone looked upstairs. In front of the box on the second floor, a fat middle-aged man called out the price. All the young nobles recognized this man. He was the personal butler of the third princess of the Soloran Kingdom.And this princess, known as the number one beauty, is still in the private room, making it difficult for people to see her beauty.Everyone can only imagine the princess's peerless appearance through the reflection of Miaoman's figure in the private room upstairs.

The magic crystal nucleus is a kind of magic item refined by a master alchemist. It has many uses, such as energy equipment for magic cannons, energy supply equipment for large magic circles, and core equipment for large magic. In fact, refining is not difficult for a super alchemist, but the difficult thing is that a master alchemist must also work as a magister, otherwise he will lose a lot if he doesn't understand the impact of the magic energy of the magic crystal nucleus and cause the crystal nucleus to explode. The material of the energy crystal nucleus is very rare, it must be the star sand brought from the star realm, only the creation of this star realm can be filled with magic energy to create this magic crystal nucleus.

The magic power crystal core is a hard currency in many countries. The current five human countries set the magic power crystal core at 100 million gold coins. It varies from 120 million.

This big man was so generous as soon as he made a move, and Carliss smiled helplessly when she saw it. After all, she still couldn't compare with the royal family in terms of financial resources.Even if he could still grit his teeth and survive a round or two, it was meaningless, so he decisively chose to give up.

With Vargas' final decision, the equipment was sent upstairs, and the fat middle-aged man took the necklace, and respectfully sent it into the private room.This princess is the most powerful war priest job in the Temple of Life. It also has a super strong radiation radius of 3000 meters. If the life sacrifice is only to restore life, then the war priest is a bonus of 15% attack defense and movement speed. It's a small war machine.This beautiful princess is also the only war sacrifice in the world.It would be good news for the entire kingdom if she got this piece of equipment.

This epic piece of equipment was an absolute climax in the auction house, but Vargas' next auction made the audience boil again
"Permanent Power Potion!!!"

As Vargas yelled this sentence, everyone in the audience exclaimed.Permanent Strength Potion: Permanently increase strength by 1 point, and there is no limit to the number of times you can take it.The material for this kind of thing is generally the blood of creatures that are extremely difficult to obtain, such as dragon blood, and the refining technology is also very harsh. Even a master-level alchemist has a very low success rate in refining.It is considered a high yield if two bottles can be produced in a year.This kind of thing is absolutely not for sale after you get it.As a strategic item of an empire or a kingdom, generally only the royal family can use it.

As a result, many nobles on the first floor were not excited for long, and a basin of cold water was poured down. Guests from several boxes upstairs participated in one after another, and directly started bidding with the magic crystal core as the unit. Compared with the royal families , the nobles downstairs obviously have very limited financial resources, once the people upstairs get involved.The people downstairs knew that they could only watch the upcoming auction.

Sure enough, this item was acquired by the third prince of the Kingdom of Elaya. Immediately, Vargos released a "permanent stamina potion" for the next round of auctions. Although this is also a permanent item, but see The people downstairs who had gone through the previous round of bidding no longer felt any excitement, and everyone upstairs came down to bid one after another, which meant that their night was over, and they could only watch the excitement.

Next, Vargas took out the "Permanent Constitution Potion", "Permanent Dexterity Potion" and "Permanent Mental Potion", and as expected, they were all competing in several boxes upstairs.In the end, after a lot of bidding, I got a satisfactory deal.But the vast majority of ordinary nobles at the bottom have lost interest.

"Let's auction the last item," Vargas elongated his tone to discourage everyone's appetite. Cecil suddenly felt that this master-level alchemist was actually a master-level salesman, and he was constantly mobilizing everyone's Emotions are really interesting.

"Golden Apples!!!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.Even though most people at the scene knew that they had no chance to participate in this auction, they still felt that they had a chance even if they just took a look at it. Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the golden apple on the auction table.Cecil was even more shocked. The golden apple is a divine object in many myths and stories, but he never knew that there was such a thing in the Lovalan continent, and how could such an object appear at the auction so casually, even if it was An auction of this level should never have an item of this level.

Golden apple: A divine object blessed by the goddess of earth, goddess of life, and goddess of spring. It can purify the cursed earth and bring fertility and abundance to the earth. The radiation range is 300 kilometers.
After using the panel to inquire about the properties of the golden apple, Cecil was relieved. It turns out that the golden apple is a strategic item in the setting of this world, not an item to enhance personal abilities.For the current Cecil, this golden apple is far less attractive than the equipment and permanent potions sold earlier, but the value of the golden apple cannot be underestimated by anyone.It is meaningless for the human kingdom to obtain the cursed land of Diya mentioned above, but it is different to have golden apples. As long as you can capture the land of Diya and purify it with golden apples, it will be suitable for you. Inhabited by humans, turning it into the domain of a kingdom.Not only for the undead Diya, but also for the bloodthirsty land polluted by demons. It can be said that it is a strategic prop that a country dreams of.

This kind of item requires the great priests of several temples to jointly request the three goddesses, and the three goddesses can respond with blessings at the same time. Generally speaking, it must be the super reward of the temple after the kingdom's dedication to the temple reaches a peak.Once this kind of thing appears, the kingdom will definitely treat it as a treasure, and it will never be rumored. How could it appear at the auction?Cecil and many nobles watched the auction with suspicion.

At this time, the knight accompanying the third princess of the Eluk Empire called out the price: 100 magic crystal cores, this price is not high, for the value of the golden apple, this priceless treasure is already It can't be measured by the magic crystal nucleus, even if it is increased by 10 times, it is not too much.Everyone was expecting someone to raise the price again, but strangely, as if there was a tacit understanding, the private room upstairs was quiet. Vargas asked twice, but no one raised the price. It seems that the upper floor The royal families above seem to have reached some sort of agreement.And although the nobles downstairs can offer a higher price than this, no one dares to make trouble at this time when they see the atmosphere of tacit agreement upstairs.

In the end, the golden apple undoubtedly fell into the hands of the Ailuk Empire. This handsome knight took the golden apple back to the private room under the attention of everyone.Everyone felt regretful, not because the golden apple did not fall into their hands, no one would have such crazy thoughts, but because originally people were looking forward to seeing a wonderful auction battle and looking forward to a sky-high price. .But it ends in such an anticlimactic way, which makes people feel a little regretful.

The shooting of the golden apples also meant the end of the entire dinner party. The dinner party lasted very long, and it ended in the early morning of the next day.The climax of the last auction made everyone extremely excited, and now many people felt a little drowsy as soon as it ended.

Cecil slowly exited the hall along with Ophelina. He wanted to find a chance to say hello to Annie, so he turned his attention to Annie's position, but all the young mages where Anne was were had already withdrawn.Cecil searched in the crowd for a long time but couldn't find Annie, so he had to give up.

After Cecil and Fiorina left the hall, Fiorina chatted with several female nobles who were familiar with her, and Cecil found that among them was Caris who had competed with her for equipment. The life priests of the Temple of Life are about the same age, and they have always had a bright complex, but they have a good personal relationship. Today, both of them were intercepted by the third princess. I am afraid that this time they share the same hatred and have many common topics to talk about.

There were always endless topics to chat between the girlfriends, and after the carriage of the two of them arrived, they bid farewell. Cecil and Ofelina got into the carriage and drove to the Earl's Mansion.
