Chapter 156 Sea Auction

The maritime auction is a grand event that Demingham's aliens are looking forward to every quarter.

This year's auction was postponed for some reason. The auction, which should have been delayed at the end of September, was delayed until the end of October.

On this day, all stalls will be cancelled, leaving only the auction booth in the middle.

This move will not only not reduce the number of alien disciples, but will be nearly twice as many as in previous years. If nothing unexpected happens, some people who are rare in the sea market will also appear.

Even if there is snow tonight.

It is normal to fall snow in the early morning of winter. Not long after the ship goes out to sea, snowflakes begin to fall from the sky. It is impossible to make the ship turn around at this time. Even if it is transferred, there will be no groceries to sell umbrellas at this time.

"Fortunately the snow is not strong, otherwise I won't even be able to see what is being auctioned later... Donald, how much did you prepare for this auction?"

Stephanie, wearing a mask, sounded a little boring, but she could still hear some excitement.

Although she has lived in Demingham for quite some time, the auction at the Maritime Fair was indeed the first time Stephanie participated in. Because she did not have much savings before, and with her personal talent, there were not many things in the fair that could help her, so she would just be out of sight.

Now that he is with Donald, he naturally has no such concern. Stephanie is also looking forward to this auction trip. The materials required for emotional talent potions are not general. Although they are not as crazy as energy shaping, they are not so easy to collect. Therefore, she is also full of expectations for this auction trip.

"I don't have much money. I haven't been to the sea market a few times during this period. The savings I have are only left before."

Donald said a little casually by erecting his collar on his body to cover the gap at his neck.

The scrolls made by Donald did make money, but they were all exchanged for the achievements of the special meter. The number of times they were actually sold in the maritime market was only the previous few times.

Therefore, when it comes to cash, he actually doesn’t have much, and the total amount is about 50 gold pounds.

"50 gold pounds isn't enough?"

For ordinary people, the purchasing power of 50 pounds is enough to support a family's expenses for several years, but for this level of auction, it is naturally another statement.

It’s okay to go up and compete for a lottery. If you really meet something that suits you, this little money will not be enough.

Moreover, Stephanie also knew that Donald's current talent potion lacked three materials, all of which were extremely rare items.

Needless to say, the five-leaf clover also has the magic worm crystal nucleus and the fire-scale fish blood.

The crystal nucleus of the demon worm, as the name suggests, is the crystal nucleus in the body of a strange beast called the demon worm, and some people say it is its heart.

The demon worms only live in some crystal ores containing special energy, relying solely on the energy needed to maintain life by crystals. In addition, they do not need to eat anything or excrete.

This special habit means that during the entire life process, the demon worm is like a crystal mine excavator that only enters and cannot exit, constantly collecting the purest energy in the crystal. As the crystal core of these energy aggregates, it is naturally precious.

The body of the demon worm often changes differently due to the properties of the crystal mineral deposits in which it is located.

For example, the demon worms in the fire element crystal ore appear in the color of slurry on the outside, which is the carapace they secrete to protect their bodies, and has extremely strong fire element resistance. At the same time, because they consume fire element crystals, they accumulate a large amount of energy in their bodies. Once they are angry, they can easily release the impact of fire element.

Are you a little familiar?

Yes, the situation of the demon worms in this regard is very similar to the illusion slime, except that their form changes will basically only happen once in a lifetime, and they cannot change their physical state as the elements in the environment change like the illusion slime.

Often, discovering traces of demon worms means discovering crystal minerals. Nowadays, the entire Ryan Empire seems to be only 100 crystal minerals. Don’t think that this number is very large. Based on the territory of the entire empire, this is already a pitiful number.

As for the fire-scaled fish, it is even more bizarre.

The name contains a fire, and many people who hear it for the first time think it lives in volcanic magma.

On the contrary, the places where fire-scaled fish are found are often extremely cold areas. These fish are used to surviving in ice water. If they are used to warm water, they will die immediately in a few seconds.

The reason why they are called fire-scale fish is simply because their scales appear orange-red flame color. From the distance among the glaciers, they look like burning flames, which is named after them.

The temperature of the fire-scale fish blood is extremely low. It is said that it must be kept in heat with ice before it can be stored. Even if it is just a slight negligence that causes temperature deviation, the fish blood will lose its effectiveness in an instant.

These two things may not have any effect on most people, but for some people who can use them, they are more valuable than anything else. Once they appear, the price will naturally not be lower.

Therefore, Stephanie was a little worried about what to do if Donald met these two things later.

"Don't worry, the gold pound is not enough, so let's get some things."

Not much cash does not mean that there are not many valuable things. For this auction, Donald has been going to bed late at night every day recently. He made no less than 30 Wolfhound scrolls alone. This alone has the value of hundreds of gold pounds, not to mention that he has real treasures in his hands.

The ships docked, and tonight's sea market was another scene. The lampposts that used to shine everywhere now concentrate all the lights in the central area.

In the bright yellow light, the snowflakes in the sky were covered with a golden shell, and below the light was a bustling crowd of strangers.

"I didn't expect Deminghan to have so many strange disciples..."

Holding Donald's arm, Stephanie looked around at the groups of aliens around her. The most crowded gathering of aliens she had seen before might be the day of the assessment of the aliens at that time.

The discussions between the strange disciples sounded here, and the scene inevitably changed in a noisy direction. This is a common phenomenon in the maritime market, and this state may not make people feel bored. In fact, the people around them are often very interesting to talk about various strange things and some special events.

As this content gradually becomes more and more mainstream, the maritime market begins to form a special atmosphere that makes the whole person start to become involuntarily excited.

As the crowd moved forward, Donald carried a bag, Lilo also carried a bag, and Stephanie was holding a bag.

When you walk into the area covered by the aperture projected by the lamp post, Donald first sees the large booth in the center.

The square structure, two layers of stone platforms overlap, nearly five feet from the ground.

This height is just right, allowing people in the distance to see the auction items, and the location is not too high, so that people in the near area can still be blocked even if they look up with their heads raised.

All the strangers were only allowed to stand in front of the booth, one meter in front of the exhibition stand, the left and right sides and the back, and must be left and right.

This is to ensure the safety of the auction items and prevent some strange disciples who have no money but want to get treasures from being tempted and forced to rob them.

This is not a rare thing, and this happens often at the first few auctions.

After all, the rules of the sea market were not yet set up at that time. Some foreign disciples always thought that this was just like they usually did. When they saw good things, they would find a way to get them. If someone stopped them, they would kill the person they blocked and then grab the treasure.

Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent.

It was not until these people were hung on the reefs outside the sea market to be eaten by sea beasts, turned into disgusting corpses of half-human and half-skeletons, and then exposed to the sun to mummies that this kind of seeking death was truly effectively curbed.

The auction at the sea fair is an event that belongs to the strangers. Everyone is pursuing those auction items that are magically cherished. Naturally, there are no fancy performances in ordinary auctions. When it was almost the full range of people in the aperture, someone began to take the stage.

"Welcome to the first quarter auction of the Maritime Fair!"

“Oh~~”

Cheers sounded from various areas.

"This time there are 30 items in total, including strange objects, strange beasts, special items, and the most popular talent scrolls, all of which are available!"

“Oh~~”

The atmosphere reached another climax.

"There is a lot 30 to invite us!"

The auctioneer is also a master of the art. He has no hindrance. He has a few words and he will get to the point.

Next to the booth, a woman in gorgeous clothes came onto the stage with a pallet made of pure gold and a cover made of sterling silver.

"Lot No. 30, a strange object made of the tail feathers of the blue-crowned bird as the main material, floating feathers."

"The effect is that after use, people can have the ability to float in a five-minute period, and can float in any direction by waving their feathers, at a speed no less than that of ordinary cars on Demingham Street, and after rigorous testing, the limit height of the floating can be 10 meters!"

"The starting price is 30 gold pounds, and each increase must not be less than 2 gold pounds!"

The name, effect, price, and the words were finished, and someone immediately raised a sign below, and the number was still quite large.

"A strange thing with floating movement effect can not only be used to escape from the battlefield, but also to cross some special terrain. 30 gold pounds is definitely not enough, it is estimated to cost about 50 gold pounds."

Donald, who just came from the auction item promotion office, did not intend to participate in the bidding for this item. He had a flowing skateboard and the floating feathers were at most a "spare tire" for him, and it was naturally not worth spending 50 gold pounds.
