The famous auction of the crown pearl in the city of Wisconsin was founded by the third-class magician al Weihao.
It is said that the magician with a reputation on the east coast is a powerful Summoner who is good at summoning and slaving many heterotopic powerful creatures.
Not only the Shangri La Hotel, but also many consumer resorts in the city of Wisconsin are the industries under the name of master al Weihao.
For ordinary people, these assets are wealth that can't be spent for hundreds of lives. For people at the level of master al Weihao, they are just secular money.
According to informed sources, the highly prestigious crown pearl auction is divided into three levels.
The first level belongs to the communication circle of peerless strong people such as Al Weihao. To enter this circle, you need at least level II strength. However, there are few currency transactions in the auction at that level, and most of them are barter.
The second level is the main reason why the crown pearl auction has been recognized by most powerful magicians and knight families around since its birth. The requirements for participants are all above level 1.
It is also a measure to create a trading and auction platform for the strong above the first level, making it a once-in-a-year event in the city of Weston.
The last level is the auction for "ordinary people" below the first level. The participants are mainly wealthy merchants and top nobles from all over the country on the west coast. Some quasi high-level or high-level strong people like Locke will also come here to form a small part of the auction.
Don't underestimate the auction at the last level. What can be moved to the auction table by Level 3 magicians are not ordinary products. Some of the precious auctions are likely to be high-quality products from the strong circles of level 2 and even level 3.
For the useless treasures and props of the first and second level strong, they often cause looting by quasi knights and magicians. Even those noble and rich businessmen who have no fighting spirit and magic level do not mind that they have several more life-saving props around them. They can't use them, and it's good to pass them on to their next generation.
Why is the crown pearl famous in Sony Kingdom and even the east coast? First, the reputation recognized by the strong above the first level is there. Second, ordinary people after the auction praise and exaggerate the crown pearl.
Although the world belongs to the strong, there is no doubt that the number of the weak accounts for more than 90% of the world.
It is difficult for one hundred people to break through the shackles and become a strong person at or above the first level. Even if there are, the publicity efforts of 99 people are definitely much broader than that peerless strong person.
Ten minutes before entering the crown pearl auction store, Locke found that there were less than one tenth of the participants in Sony Kingdom, and the rest were all rich people from all over the east coast.
For example, the fat aristocrat in front of him said he was from a small kingdom called wooden tower in the northern border of the east coast.
Because the wizard continent tends to the centripetal force of the development of the mainland center, the countries on the east coast have a characteristic that they become stronger and more developed in the southeast. Sony kingdom is located in the southern hinterland of the east coast.
Locke, a kingdom called mutali, has been on the east coast for more than a year. He has never heard of it. Most of it is a small country like Faustin, dependent on other powerful countries.
"Hey, hey, brother Locke, where are you from?" Without a word, the fat man called Locke his brother.
"Manhattan kingdom? Ouch, brother, you are the nobleman of that place!" The fat man's small eyes kept turning and rubbed his fat palm, looking like an attentive dog leg.
In terms of the strength of the Kingdom, Manhattan can rank among the top seven countries on the east coast, not as strong as Sony Kingdom, but several times stronger than MUTARI kingdom.
Locke's status as an aristocrat in Manhattan Kingdom, although his title is not high, also makes the fat man look up, not to mention the beautiful confidant of a middle-level magic apprentice in his arms, which also makes the fat man envy.
"Hope, have you heard of any boutiques at this auction?" Locke hugged Raffi and Christine in his arms, which made fat hope envy. At the same time, he shook his head and hated why he was not born into an aristocratic family in the kingdom of Manhattan.
"Magic guides and scrolls that can be used by ordinary people have low threshold and great power. These things are the main commodities in previous years." Hope said, "there are all kinds of strange materials that are useful not only for magicians, but also for us."
"It is said that there is an auction of 'tears of the goddess' this time, and I have specially purchased one according to the family mission." In front of Locke, hope seemed to have no intention and spoke out the purpose of his trip.
Locke, the "tears of the goddess," has long heard of its name. It can delay the aging of human beings below the middle level for three years. It is a holy product that can only be made by experienced pharmacists above the second level.
This medicine is sold in drops. A drop can delay three years. A person can only reuse it twice in his life. Before Locke got the spirit medicine, this magical medicine was one of the few ways Locke found to increase the life of his parents and Xia Qian.
"I don't know whether the gold coins brought from the family are enough. I can't. I can only take them out of my own pocket." Fat hope said bitterly.
It is a precious medicine that can increase life. The tears of the goddess have little side effects and can be reused twice. It is deeply favored by the high-level power holders of the major kingdoms in the wizard world, especially those nobles with poor fighting spirit and magic ability. They rely on these things to continue their lives.
"Work hard, I believe you can." Locke gave hope a playful expression of support.
A drop of goddess's tears starts with at least 10000 gold cables, and there is no market. It's just that with Locke's wealth, he can get up to five or six drops at most. The price that the fat man needs to pay to grab a drop from many rivals can be imagined.
This is why Locke tried so hard to get the spirit potion. So far, this is the only reliable way he has found to prolong the life of his parents and lovers.
Although hope had a bitter face, he was soon aroused by the upcoming auction.
The tears of the goddess are made by powerful magicians at or above level 2. Such strong people themselves have a life span of hundreds or thousands of years. Of course, making these "useless" potions for them is not in vain. They are just for profit.
The tears of the goddess usually flow out only a few months in the black market, but in auction places such as crown beads, since the news of the tears of the goddess comes out, there must be more than one measured inventory here.
A goddess's tears potion can be divided into about 100 drops. It is believed that only when it adds up to more than one million gold sauds can it attract powerful pharmacists at level 2. They have specially made one for this purpose.
Magicians are money burning occupations, especially pharmacists and alchemists. These powerful people are not as flawless and great as the ants at the bottom think. They are also human, or evolved by human beings. They can't avoid the embarrassing situation of "lack of money".
If more than 100 drops of goddess's tears appear at the auction, there is still a chance to win one drop according to Locke's judgment of the fat man's jewels.
Before Locke could communicate with fat hope, the auction officially began under the command of a middle-aged man in black with gold rimmed spectacles.
"My name is gray. I'm sure some of the nobles in Weston know me." The middle-aged man in Black said to himself, "less gossip, let's move out of today's first auction!"
The middle-aged man in black waved to the back of the stage. A water inkstone two meters wide and three meters high was moved up by two big men.
The steaming water elements under the water inkstone form a white fog, which is beautiful with a light blue magic glare background, in which at least three kinds of magic are used. What's more amazing is that in the shallow pool under the water fog, there are also strange fish the size of a thumb.
The nobles present looked at the overall appearance effect of the water inkstone. The magicians such as Christine looked at the interesting magic inscriptions engraved on the water inkstone. The knight like Locke looked at the water inkstone itself.
"There's something wrong with the metal that makes up the inkstone." In Locke's arms, the coy Raffi was also attracted by the goods on the auction platform.
"You can see?" Locke said with a smile that Knights pay attention to the unity of heaven and man and contain the fighting spirit of nature in themselves. The more they fit with nature and the better their fighting spirit realm tends to be, the more they can find some beneficial metal minerals in nature.
Locke found it with the feeling of quasi knight, while Raffi found it because of the bonus of his gold fighting spirit. The metal that makes up the water inkstone is not enough to make a pair of armor, but if it is a long sword, it is more than enough. It is a metal suitable for gold fighting spirit users.
"Shall I take it for you?" Asked Locke.
"No." Raffi shook his head.
Locke doesn't have much idea about the inkstone. He wants to shoot a pair of armor and a long sword directly for Raffi instead of buying raw materials here. Without a suitable alchemy room and blacksmith, it's unknown whether this metal can become a handy weapon in the end.
Another part of the reason is that the value of this inkstone itself is not its material. Just like now, it is being scrambled by dozens of dignified nobles in the auction hall. The price has been bid up to 8000 gold in just a dozen seconds, and the momentum continues to rise.
According to a rough observation of the number of people in the whole auction hall, there are nearly 1000 people, densely packed. Thanks to the third floor of Shangri La Hotel, so many people can be installed. Of course, nearly two of them have no seats in the aisle.
The auction will last for five days. During this period, some people will leave and some will join, so there is no need to worry. The rich will naturally get what they want.
The first auction item, a water inkstone made by an anonymous alchemist, was finally sold at a price of 16000 gold, which was a good start to the auction.
Next, a variety of strange and rare items were put on one after another, which was gradually dazzled by the products provided by the crown pearl auction house based on Locke's experience and the vision of quasi knights.

This chapter has written hundreds of words more, which can be regarded as compensation and apology for the break yesterday. I still feel a little dizzy after getting off the train today. I took a nap in the dormitory in the afternoon to recover my spirit. I'll go back to bed after reading English words. I'll continue to study and code words tomorrow. It's 9:21 p.m.
