Chapter 102 Magister Thorne's Notes
At the end of October, the autumn wind was shining, the sky was getting dark, and a hint of coolness was already echoing in the air.
However, the streets of Anweimar City are still crowded with people and bustling.
Because today is the day of a large-scale auction once a month, Naisinli Auction House, located in the center of the most prosperous Champsellee Street in Ancheng, also seemed more lively tonight than usual. As soon as the sky got dark, countless people squeezed in, squeezing the huge space of Naisinli Auction House.
As usual, among these people, you can easily find the great nobles and merchants in Anweimar City.
For them, this is not only a place to show their charity, but also an important social place. Anyone who is qualified and qualified will never miss it.
Almost every month, large-scale auctions will become an important topic of discussion in Anweimar City for the next period of time.
Among these topics of discussion, the most important thing is which great nobleman or a great merchant spent a lot of money, threw out a huge amount of shocking amounts, and bought extremely expensive items.
For example, at a large-scale auction last month, a famous painting that was said to be passed down from the Elf Dynasty three thousand years ago was sold at a sky-high price of up to 370,000 gold coins, causing a sensation in the entire Bangta City.
However, the people who took this famous painting refused to reveal their information, so that a month later, there are still countless people discussing in private who is so angry that they can throw out a huge sum of 370,000 gold coins to buy a painting.
As for this month's large-scale auction, everyone's attention is naturally focused on what rare and precious items will appear at this auction and how high the price can be sold.
For example, can it exceed the auction record of 370,000 gold coins set by the famous painting last month?
Xu Yi squeezed into the auction house and found the seat he had booked ten days in advance through Hainas to sit down. Hearing that people in front, back and left and right were discussing this issue, he couldn't help but smile.
Thirty-seventy-six thousand gold coins are not considered a big amount for him now, but if he had so much money, he would rather devote himself to the study of magical machinery than to take out even a gold coins to buy such luxury goods that are meaningless to him.
Moreover, after he arrived in Anweimar City this time, he came to participate in the auction specifically, but it was not to buy these luxury goods, but to have other purposes.
After waiting patiently for a while, he stayed until 7 o'clock in the evening. An auctioneer came up later, and the originally noisy sound in the venue stopped immediately.
Xu Yi couldn't help but nodded. From this point of view, this Naisinri Auction House is worthy of being the largest auction house in Anweimar City and even the entire Lampari Kingdom.
After giving a brief but enthusiastic introduction to the large-scale auction, the auctioneer soon officially entered the main topic.
Xu Yi ignored all the strange things in front of him, and just listened quietly to the people around him calling prices, watching the atmosphere continue to rise under the hype of the auctioneer.
The final transaction price of the first auction item was only 500 gold coins, but by the tenth item, the final transaction price had exceeded 10,000 gold coins.
Seeing the lively scene of people around him bidding enthusiastically, Xu couldn't help but feel emotional.
Judging from this situation, there are actually quite a lot of rich people in the Kingdom of Lampari.
But strangely, the financial situation of the Kingdom of Lampari has been poor.
Even though last year has increased significantly compared to the previous years, it still has not exceeded three million gold coins, which is even slightly higher than the annual profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi was very puzzled by this situation and once asked Sevini for this, but he did not get a clear answer.
As items were sold one by one, the prices gradually increased, and the atmosphere in the auction house became warmer little by little. Every person participating in the auction seemed to be very excited and lost his mind.
However, when the auctioneer took out the seventeenth auction item, the scene suddenly became deserted.
"A book of the notes of Master Thorne, the minimum price is 3,000 gold coins, and the minimum price is 200 gold coins. Please start bidding."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience was quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and most of them looked confused.
Although everyone knows the meaning of the word "magic", the notes of Magister Thorne are meaningless to most ordinary people.
If it is a very famous magician on the mainland, then with the great magician's popularity on this continent, anything related to him may be sold at a sky-high price.
For example, at the auction last year, a quill brush was sold by the master of Lifa's great magician used before his death, and the final transaction price reached an astonishing 130,000 gold coins.
But the magician is not a great magician after all, and he is just one level away, but it represents a world of difference.
Because on the Continent of Synes, there are always magicians at the level of magicians, and there are not many. For example, there are now as many as 27 magicians on this continent.
However, it is extremely difficult for great magicians to appear. From the beginning of human beings learning magic, it has been more than 4,000 years since human beings started to learn magic. There are only a few great magicians in the history of human beings. On average, one may not appear in hundreds of years.
In comparison, it is naturally a rarer magician and more in people's minds.
Xu Yi waited patiently for a while, and saw that no one had raised the price, and saw that the auctioneer was about to raise his hammer and declare that the auctioneer failed to sell. Then he raised his hand and shouted, "Three thousand gold coins."
Hearing this voice, the auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, immediately dropped the hammer, pointed to Xu Yi's direction and said loudly: "Mr. No. 39, three thousand gold coins. Is there any price increase?"
Everyone in the auction house turned their heads to look at Xu Yi.
Today, Xu Yi did not wear a magic robe, so naturally everyone could not see his identity as a magician, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
What does this young guy want to buy the notes of Magister Thorne? Does he still want to improve his magic level through a note?
Look at his young appearance, even if he showed it to him, he might not be able to understand it, right?
Xu Yi ignored everyone's gaze, stared at the auctioneer, and put pressure on him with his eyes.
The auctioneer naturally understood what Xu Yi meant. After waiting for a while, he saw that no one had an additional price, so he nodded and continued: "The first time in the 39th 3,000 gold coins, is there any additional price increase? If not, the notes of Master Thorne will belong to this gentleman."
Still no one answered.
The auctioneer waited for a while and could only shout again helplessly: "The second time of 39th 3,000 gold coins, only the last chance is left. Is there anyone who is interested in magic or Master Thorne who is willing to increase the price? Master Thorne is the first magician in our Lampari Kingdom in history. It is the glory symbol of our Lambari Kingdom magician. His notes must have great value. I think everyone should not miss it, right?"
Perhaps it was the auctioneer's words that worked, and a voice sounded from the audience: "Three thousand five hundred gold coins."
The auctioneer suddenly felt refreshed and pointed to that direction and shouted: "Okay! Someone has increased the price! This gentleman No. 47, 3,500 gold coins! Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"
When asked this question, the auctioneer naturally looked in the direction where Xu Yi was.
Xu Yi did not disappoint him, and shouted without blinking: "Four thousand gold coins."
A series of discussion suddenly sounded in the venue.
Judging from the attitude Xu Yi showed, it is obvious that he made up his mind to buy it.
In addition, the No. 47 who bid for the bid seemed to feel Xu Yi's attitude, and was quite dissatisfied. He immediately shouted "Five Thousand Gold Coins".
Seeing this situation, everyone in the auction house became excited.
For everyone participating in the auction, the favorite thing they see is someone bidding, because only in this way can they show some excitement and tension of the auction.
Everyone looked at Xu Yi with anticipation. Xu Yi pondered for a moment and then quoted the price of "5,200 gold coins".
"cut--"
When everyone heard this offer, they were suddenly disappointed.
I just had one plus five hundred gold coins, but now it has become the lowest one plus two hundred gold coins. Doesn’t it mean that this young guy is actually a strong man on the outside and a middle? I’m afraid he has spent all his pitiful savings to buy this note.
No. 47 was obviously stunned because of Xu Yi's sudden reduction in bidding. After waiting for a while, he called out a bid of 5,500 gold coins.
Xu Yi hesitated for a longer time this time, and when the auctioneer almost shouted for the third time, he shouted for a bid of "5,700 gold coins".
No. 47 shook his head, as if he was very disappointed with Xu Yi's performance and gave up the bidding.
So Xu Yi finally bought the notes of Master Thorne for 5,700 gold coins.
This auction process naturally disappointed everyone, so everyone was soon left behind and continued to bid for subsequent auction items.
Xu Yi remained silent, watching the performances of everyone in the auction hall, and quietly waiting for the next auction item he targeted to appear.
About half an hour later, the staff of Naisinri Auction House walked up carefully holding a red palm-sized box.
Seeing the staff's careful appearance, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.
There were so many expensive things that appeared before, but the staff were not particularly careful. Why did they show this attitude towards this thing?
There is only one explanation, that is, the things contained in this small box must be much more expensive than everything before!
Thinking of this, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Everyone knows very well that the finale of this large-scale auction is about to appear.
And with the emergence of each final auction item, it will always cause a bloody storm. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
