The whole auction house fell into a ten second silence.
However, Jero is worthy of being an ace auctioneer. He quickly reacted and began to announce whether there were any bidders.
At this moment, many people on the auction ground are still in a state of shock.
Although these people don't know exactly what the price of graphite fluorite is, in their opinion, a silver demonized equipment is worth more than 400000, but one piece of material can be sold for 850000, isn't it a loss?
Almost all nobles have this idea.
Including Athena and Kos.
The two men now looked at Sean with a shocked face.
Because Sean called out the quotation of 850000 just now.
"You... Are you crazy?" Even Athena couldn't help getting excited.
Of course, the reason why she was excited was not that Sean spent so much money to shoot a completely worthless thing, but
"Do you have so much money?"
In the face of such a frank and direct question from Athena, Sean shrugged: "No."
"Then you pay 850000?" Cox's eyebrows also frowned. "This price is not affordable for ordinary people. Even a Marquis with real estate needs at least four or five years to save. Of course, this time refers to the formal way. If there is other gray income, it may be faster. "
The general way for nobles to save money is nothing more than to squeeze their neighbors, or to operate their own specialties, or to set up a mercenary to earn extra money. This way of money usually doesn't go anywhere quickly, so there will be other gray income methods. For example, some crazy Lords will even raise a group of robbers and wantonly rob the caravan in their territory.
Sean, however, was just a Duke who had just acquired the territory. Before that, he was a pioneering knight with only the name of a baron. Therefore, it is conceivable that he could not have a family of 850000, and even if he did, his territory was almost riddled with holes in the war. Instead of spending the money on the reconstruction investment of the territory, he used it to buy such a material, which no one can understand.
But I can't understand. After all, they are still a whole.
"I can probably lend you 200000." Cox thought for a moment and then said.
"I can only lend you 100000." Yasina also said, "if you borrow some more money from others, you can still make up 850000."
The situation of Athena now also needs money in many aspects. It's not easy to save these 100000 gold coins to borrow Sean.
But maybe it was because Sean and others needed to borrow money to bid. The attitude of several maids in the room towards Cox and others immediately changed subtly. After all, these people are trained by the chamber of Commerce Alliance, so the subtle changes in attitude are naturally hidden deeply. If Sean was not very sensitive to the changes in breath, he would not be aware of the changes in the attitude of these maidens.
"No." Sean was naturally very moved by the attitude of Kos and yasna. "The chamber of Commerce Union will not pay attention to this money, and if I take pictures, do you think they really dare to take money?"
"I'm not sure." Yasina shook her head. "I heard that lodsk is a very cunning old fox. If he pretends not to know anything, you still have to pay the money."
Sean smiled indifferently: "it doesn't matter, as long as the chamber of Commerce Alliance is willing to barter However, I wish the old fox had better pretend that he didn't know anything, so it would be more convenient for me to ask for things. If he's really too polite, I'm sorry. "
For Sean's words, Kos and yasna naturally heard them clearly, so they didn't make any comments. However, if Sean needs to borrow money, they can only prepare these loans to him. No matter how much, it is a great burden for them who are now undergoing post-war repair and reconstruction. Only those kings and nobles who have almost no loss in the auction house can still spend thousands of money here.
But just as Sean and others spoke so well, at the moment when the auctioneer was about to clinch a deal, Ryan's Alchemy blacksmith once again offered a new price.
Nine hundred thousand.
This is probably the last bottom line for him to completely lose his wealth.
Yasna and Kos looked at Sean, because Sean's next action would directly depend on whether their relationship with the alchemist in the future was friendly or hostile.
However, the price that could have been won by 830000 yuan was forcibly raised by Sean to 900000 yuan. I'm afraid this also doomed that the two sides would no longer be friendly in the future. If you have to say that someone will be happy, I'm afraid it's Arnold, the alchemist, because at this moment, Sean can be very sure that the graphite fluorite was definitely auctioned by this guy himself, so the higher the auction, the happier he is.
It's better that Ryan, the alchemist, paid the money.
Because in this way, he can kill two birds with one stone.
"950000." Sean made another offer.
The auction house fell silent again.
However, this time, the ace auctioneer Jero did not lose his mind again, but soon entered the state and began to stir up the atmosphere. However, it is a pity that the particularity of graphite fluorite leads to that only those who really understand its value will bid for this auction item, and it has been robbed of such a sky high price. Therefore, even if Jero wants to break a transaction price record, it is impossible.
So this time, when Jero announced three transactions, no one asked for a cut-off price.
"I really don't understand why you took this thing." When yasina saw that Sean finally spent a sky high price to take such a material, she still couldn't understand, "if this material is really as Arnold said, the market price is up to 400000, and it can be robbed of 830000. I think it's a spirit struggle between two alchemists But you did well. It cost 950000 to shoot it directly. "
"That's because Arnold is an idiot." Sean disdained and said, "just a silversmith really thinks the world is invincible? It's just a frog at the bottom of a well. He doesn't know the real value of graphite fluorite at all. If he knew, he would regret selling such a thing for 950000 today. You know, in the surface world, graphite fluorite is not a common material. "
Hearing Sean's words, yasna and Kos both looked stunned.
Because they are not vase maids trained by the chamber of Commerce Alliance, they naturally hear the hidden meaning of Sean's words. It is obvious that Sean is very happy that he can win the graphite fluorite for 950000, just like picking it.
"This thing can only make silver level demonized equipment?"
"If you use this thing only as a material, you can only create silver level magical equipment." Sean nodded, "but if combined with other materials, it can be made into a special magic stabilizer This magic stabilizer is specially used on some special special special effects gold level magic equipment. If I say so, can you understand the real value of graphite fluorite? "
Hearing Sean's words, not only yasna and Kos, but also the maidens showed a look of shock.
Because if Sean's statement is correct, the real value of graphite fluorite may be about two million.
General special effect gold enchanting equipment can't sell so expensive. Usually, the transaction price is about one million. Occasionally, if several rich and powerful people like it in the auction house at the same time, the transaction price may be raised by hundreds of thousands, but this is the limit. But what Sean said is a special special special effect gold level magic equipment, so this meaning is extraordinary.
What does the so-called special mean? It is specially tailored for users, or it can be comparable to the famous legendary epic and other equipment.
Either way, it determines that the value of this kind of gold equipment can not be low.
In the most intuitive proportion, if a powerful person in the lower holy land has a specially tailored special effect gold level magic weapon, he can even give full play to his strength to 200 or 300%. In this way, even the strong person in the upper Holy Land dare not easily provoke him. As for the median sanctuary, it already belongs to the existence that can be ignored by it.
This is what really determines the value of this kind of special effects gold level magic equipment. After all, its power is no less than that of myth level equipment in the right hands.
So equipment like this can't be bought with money.
In this way, Sean only spent 950000 to take pictures of graphite fluorite, which is really a very cheap price.
However, the people present were very skeptical about why Sean knew this.
As a war maniac, Koth was used to more straightforward communication, so he immediately asked when he thought of this question. After hearing Kos's words, several maids nearby pretended to be careless and squint, but their suddenly accelerated heartbeat and inching ears still betrayed their ideas at this time. It is obvious that these people have focused on getting information from Sean.
In fact, the chamber of Commerce Alliance did not have a good intention to arrange these waitresses to each guest's room.
On the surface, these waitresses only do some service work, but at the same time, they are also the best tool for the chamber of Commerce Alliance to collect intelligence. As long as they stay in the room, they can naturally hear a lot of secrets or other intelligence, news and other things. After they go back, they can receive a good reward as long as they report the news they heard. As for information screening and other things, the chamber of Commerce Alliance is naturally responsible for others.
Sean knows all this, but he doesn't care much.
Since he has decided that he is likely to make good use of his life and career to make money in the future, it is not impossible to make a little noise. After all, he is now a Duke with a territory, and his subordinates are as strong as clouds, so he doesn't need to hide the fact that he is an alchemy blacksmith. After all, who else dares to force him to do something he doesn't like to do today?
"Where do you think Fred and Rena got their weapons?" Sean chuckled and answered Cox's question very simply.
Some of the maids didn't react, but Kos and yasna were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Because they didn't expect that Sean was a goldsmith in the middle!
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
After receiving Sean's signal, a maid finally opened the door.
Standing outside the door was the ace auctioneer Jero. He was carrying a beautifully made box. There was no doubt that the graphite fluorite was obviously placed inside.
According to the general situation of the chamber of Commerce Alliance, the auctioneer will certainly come with the accompanying guards. Although it is nominally to protect the safety of auction items, we all know that it is just to prevent guests from fooling around.
But this time, the ace auctioneer Jero came alone outside the door. It's hard for Sean to say whether it's the other party's art expert's courage or whether he has absolutely conceited confidence in the safety of tonight's auction.
Of course, in either case, Sean didn't care. He just motioned the other party in when he saw him.
After entering the room, Jero gently put the box in his hand on the next table, then opened it and said in a low hoarse voice different from the excited tone at the auction: "distinguished sir, this is the graphite fluorite you photographed. Please check it. If there is no problem, please pay the bill. We can accept any payment method. "
Sean nodded slightly, then came forward and picked up the graphite fluorite and began to examine it carefully.
It is no different from the graphite fluorite observed by Sean before. Only when he held it in his hand at this time, Sean found that the crack on the graphite fluorite is more subtle than what he saw on the display platform before, and even it is as smooth and neat as ink in many places.
The discovery made Sean frown.
When Jerome, who had been watching carefully, saw Sean frown, he couldn't help saying, "Sir, what's your problem?"
"Just now on the display, you seem to have deliberately concealed the bottom of this crystal stone." Sean pointed to the smooth and transparent corner of the graphite fluorite and said in a deep voice, "I'm curious. Is this what your Chamber of Commerce Alliance means, or is that what the sender told you?"
"What's the difference, sir?" Jerome was stunned.
"What's the matter?" Yasna and Kos asked at the same time.
Sean ignored the ace auctioneer. Instead, he turned and looked at yasna and Kos, and then explained: "the real value of graphite fluorite lies not in its surface, but in the core block inside the crystal. Therefore, to distinguish the purity of graphite fluorite is not to see its crystal degree, but to see the size and number of cracks on the surface of this crystal The larger the cracks, the more dense they are, the higher the purity of this spar and the more mature it is. In this way, as long as some special knocking skills are used, the core block inside can be completely removed. "
After the explanation, Sean pointed to the piece of graphite fluorite in his hand and said, "although the cracks on the surface of this piece of graphite fluorite are dense, the crack lines are not large, and there are many interruptions. Even the bottom part is smooth and flat, even without cracks, This is enough to prove that this graphite fluorite is not a mature graphite fluorite. If the internal core block is forcibly removed, it will be damaged. So if I want to take out the core block perfectly, I must spend more energy, time and money to guide and complete this process. "
Having said this, Sean threw the graphite fluorite back into the box, then turned his head and looked at Jero. This time, his attitude and tone were not very friendly: "if the sender asked you to do so, I can understand that your Chamber of Commerce Alliance was not followed by professionals this time, so it seemed a little ignorant; But if your Chamber of Commerce Alliance decides to do so, can I understand that your Chamber of Commerce Alliance has malicious deception? "
Hearing this, Jero's face changed in an instant.
"This thing is not worth 950000." Sean glanced. "Not to mention 950000, even 300000 is a waste."
"Your Excellency..." Jero hurried to speak, as if he wanted to remedy something.
But Sean was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly interrupted him: "if you have anything to say, explain to lodsk. By the way, when you see lodsk, please tell me by the way that today I still directly charge this account to the chamber of Commerce Union. So all the conditions I told him this morning are invalid, because I'm very unhappy now Since you can't even strictly control the auction, why do you have an auction? "
Jero's face also became a little ugly at this time.
Although he didn't know Sean's origin, he was still very clear about lodesk, and a person who could let lodesk visit and negotiate terms in person would not be a layman. At least, the black haired young man in front of us definitely has something that the chamber of Commerce Alliance needs to pay attention to. If you offend such a person, you can imagine the fate of Jero. After all, in the chamber of Commerce Alliance, the ace auctioneer is not 100 but 80. Strictly speaking, it is really not worth much money.
But Sean and others didn't give Jero any chance to explain at all. They left very quickly.
This made Jero naturally feel very angry with the sender.
However, these have nothing to do with Sean and others.
For Sean, what he needs to think about now is how to let Ryan's alchemist know that he saved his life. At present, he does intend to make several pieces of bronze demonized equipment to sell for some money, but he doesn't have enough materials on hand. Maybe he can start with the blacksmith. Of course, there is another advantage, that is, Sean has figured out how to take this opportunity to blackmail the chamber of Commerce Alliance.
So he may really have to thank Arnold.
