Chapter 247 Star Mark Crystal and Stardust Pendant
"Dear guests, welcome to the auction held by Gloria Auction House. I am auctioneer Manglio. It is my great honor to host this grand event for you—"
As he spoke, Manglio calmly looked around the room. As a Mithril-level auctioneer at Gloria Auction House, the auction stage was the stage for him to demonstrate his abilities. This was his absolute confidence as a leader in this profession.
"I won't say any more. Next, let me show you the first auction item of today!"
Before he finished speaking, Manglio gently hit the air with the gavel in his right hand, and a secret door suddenly opened behind him.
A sexy red-haired woman walked out of the door, holding a rectangular wooden box in both hands, and stepped slowly into the intersecting light beams.
On the black velvet pad of the wooden box in her hand, there was a gray crystal about the size of an orange.
The crystal is very clear and dark grey in color, with perfect pyramid crystals at the top and bottom, and countless blue light spots like stars flowing through it.
At the same time, several bright beams of light were cast down in an instant, focusing on the crystal on the tray.
Under this special light that blends multiple colors, the crystal reflects an exceptionally brilliant and pure light, and its interior seems to contain a flowing galaxy, which is extremely beautiful.
This is a magic light set specially made for the auction house, which can make the various auction items on display look more dazzling and richer in texture than normal.
"Extremely high quality, perfect star-marked crystal single crystal! Weighing 863 grams! No cracks inside, full of starlight!
I believe everyone knows that Star Mark Crystal is one of the main materials that are indispensable for high-level space equipment. With the quality and size of this rough stone, if it is handed over to a master, it is enough to divide it into a space ring with a total capacity of hundreds of units!
With the reserve price of 2,000 gold coins for a basic space ring, this rough stone is enough to make a finished product worth over 100,000 gold coins! If a high-level space equipment is successfully made, the value will be immeasurable! For example, a high-level space ring with 32 units of internal space was auctioned at an astonishing price of 270,000 gold coins in our bank!
If the auctioneer had not been forbidden to bid, I would have been tempted to buy it myself—"
After making a half-serious comment to liven up the atmosphere, Manglio raised his voice and announced the reserve price of the first lot in high spirits.
"Then, the starting price for auction item number one, [Flawless Star Mark Crystal], is 50,000 gold coins!"
It must be said that as a Mithril-level auctioneer, Manglio was very good at stirring the emotions of the guests. Under the guidance of his inflammatory words, the guests in the venue immediately became very interested.
"Fifty-five thousand gold coins!"
"Fifty-eight thousand gold coins!"
"Sixty thousand gold coins!"
…
"One hundred and sixty-eight thousand gold coins! One hundred and sixty-eight thousand gold coins for the second time. Is there a higher price? Bang - congratulations to the VIP in Box No. 7 for winning this [Star Mark Crystal]!"
With the crisp knocking sound of the gavel in Manglio's hand, the Star Mark Crystal was bought by an unknown guest in the second-floor box for a transaction price of 168,000 gold coins.
In the top-floor box, Avis calmly watched the heated auction atmosphere without making any move.
The family’s warehouse was full of these things, and in his eyes, the price was a bit inflated.
Although in theory, as long as you produce a large space ring, you will make a lot of money.
However, the yield rate of high-level space items is notoriously low. Not only does it have extremely high requirements on the manufacturer's spatial attainments, but it is also easily disturbed by invisible void ripples.
The latter is almost impossible to defend against. Once disturbed, the internal micro-star stream structure becomes unstable and the entire equipment becomes useless.
The only reason this price was achieved was due to the combined efforts of the auctioneer and the heated atmosphere at the venue.
The quality of the subsequent lots was average and could not reach the level of the first lot. However, thanks to the efforts of the auctioneer, the transaction price of each lot had a premium to varying degrees.
The precious auction items and transactions worth tens of thousands of gold coins made the two players who had never seen the world very excited.
Kitten Tiramisu has turned on the video recording function and plans to show it off to others when he gets back.
"Brother, can I take a picture too?"
At this moment, looking at the new auction item on display on the stage, it was a pendant hanging on a slender mithril chain, shining with rich colorful starlight under the light.
Fiona couldn't help but turn her head, blinking her big lake blue eyes, looking at Avis eagerly.
"Sure. If you want to bid for something, there is a special quotation array on the table. Just use your mental power to input the price you want."
Avis nodded gently to the girl and spoke encouragingly, supporting her in trying new things.
In the end, Fiona successfully bought the sixth-level starlight diamond pendant named "Stardust" for 86,000 gold coins.
Although this was a serious premium in Anvis's eyes, the girl was extremely excited. She happily took the pendant from the waiter and hung it around the neck of the little kitten Kate.
The latter gently moved the pendant with the pink pad of her paw, and a shining magical light lit up, and a cat that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake suddenly appeared beside it.
Sixth-level Illusion Magic——[Advanced Mirror Image]
This scene of operation made the two players next to him stare with their eyes wide open again.
The equipment is not as good as a kitten.jpg. ….….Soon , with the last ordinary item being sold at a high price, the auction finally reached its final stage.
"...Now, it's time for our most exciting finale auction. Next, let us witness the first finale treasure of this auction - a mysterious and wonderful object!"
The atmosphere in the conference hall fell silent for a short while, and Manglio's expression became serious.
He raised his hand slightly, and the curtain behind him was pulled up. An azure crystal about the size of a small watermelon appeared in everyone's sight.
The lights on the field suddenly dimmed, and after a flash, eight thick pure white light beams focused on the crystal at the same time, causing the beautiful vortex structure within it to refract a colorful luster.
When he saw the crystal, the eyes of a figure wearing a white mask and covered in a black robe sitting in the ordinary seats of the auction venue suddenly became dim.
In the palm of his hand, he tightly grasped a pendant made of silver and seemingly ordinary.
But the moment the crystal appeared, a cold burning pain suddenly came from the palm of his hand.
Looking at the translucent strange flame that suddenly ignited slowly in the center of the pendant, the man in black robe grabbed it with his hand and turned the pendant and the flame into powder.
There's no mistake, this is it.
According to the prophecy, a sacrifice can call upon the 'Flame of All Things Frozen' to descend upon the world.
