Chapter 45 Swamp Magic
"Hey, I didn't expect Yu Jinan to speak up for us."
Ding Jin said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zou Peng and Mo Lan stared at him blankly, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
This made Mo Lan feel a little helpless.
"Speak for us? I don't think so."
Zou Peng also spoke up.
“In my opinion, Yu Jinan is just using us as a way to save his life because he sees that this noble can’t afford to offend the Adventurer’s Guild.
And I can guarantee that Yu Jinan will definitely bring people to find us after the auction.
Get ready to fight."
Ding Jin: “??? Really?”
When Ding Jin was full of doubts, the auctioneer on the auction table suddenly regained his friendly smile.
"Everyone, the extraordinary core of the swamp fish contains the second-level spell Swamp Magic. It costs one gold and twenty silver. Is there a higher price?"
"One gold and twenty-one silver."
Mo Lan frowned when he heard the offer and turned his head to look. The muscular man with a murderous aura around him should be a hunter who hunts monsters all year round.
It was probably because he was persuaded by the auctioneer, which made Mo Lan's face flash with helplessness.
"One gold and thirty silver."
After Mo Lan quoted the price, he just watched quietly. When he saw that he was a little hesitant, he suddenly felt relieved.
"One gold and thirty-one silver."
"One gold and forty silver!"
Almost as soon as that person finished bidding, Mo Lan offered a high price, which made him even more hesitant. After a while, he finally gave up the bid, which made Mo Lan smile.
Yu Jinan, who was sitting next to the noble, looked at Mo Lan with some disbelief and jealousy in his eyes, but after looking at the noble who was still a little angry, he could only sigh and closed his mouth, but the jealousy in his eyes became more intense.
"One gold and forty silver. Is there a higher price?"
After asking several times, the auctioneer brought down the hammer and said with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to customer number 110 for winning the Swamp Fish Super Core and all its materials.
The staff will give you a number card. After the auction is over, you can take the number card to the backstage to pay the auction money and collect your items.
OK, let's take a look at the next auction item."
Before he finished speaking, another small cart was pushed onto the auction table.
Mo Lan took the number plate from the staff, and finally watched with some anticipation as the auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the cart, revealing five animal skin scrolls on it.
“The 21st lot is five spell scrolls from the Mage’s House shop.
The first-level spell Fireball is almost as powerful as some second-level spells.
There is no consumption and even children can use the high-powered attack spell scroll. It is definitely your best choice to save your life in critical moments.
Five Fireball Scrolls are being auctioned off as a package. The base price is one gold nas, and each bid must not be less than one silver nas. "
Zou Peng, Ding Jin, and Zhang Haobo looked at the familiar spell scroll on the stage, immediately reacted, and gave Mo Lan a thumbs up.
"Awesome, I finally know what you were keeping in suspense."
“No wonder you don’t promote it. Compared to other promotions that are thankless, auction promotion is much more direct.
Not only does it cost nothing, but it can also make a small profit. The most important thing is that, in this way, these adventurers will basically have an impression of the name of the Magic House, and the customer group positioning is accurate. It’s amazing, Mo Lan."
"Hey, it's okay."
Mo Lan said with a smile, and his eyes narrowed with laughter when he heard adventurers raising the price one after another.
He was muttering something to himself. Zou Peng listened carefully and immediately rolled his eyes.
"Five hundred... one thousand... two thousand..."
Finally, the fireball scroll was bought by a gentle adventurer at the price of one gold and forty-five silver coins.
There were five of them, with an average unit price of twenty-nine silver coins, which was much lower than the price Mo Lan set in the store.
Zou Peng obviously thought of it as well and turned to look at Mo Lan.
Mo Lan smiled and shook his head.
"This price is about right. If it's lower, there will be problems."
As Mo Lan spoke, he also looked quietly at the next item.
“The 22nd lot is also five spell scrolls provided by the Mage’s House shop.
Wind Blade, a first-level single-target spell, has high damage to a single target, makes very little sound, and is cast invisibly. It is auctioned in a package of five, starting at eighty silver nas, and each bid must not be less than one silver coin. "
The reappearance of the wizard scroll shocked those who had not grabbed the spell scroll just now, especially the starting price of the wind blade spell scroll was much lower than that of the fireball spell.
With the announcement of the auctioneer, the fiercely competitive auction officially began, with prices being refreshed one after another and bids being made one after another.
The competition became more and more intense as the price rose, and it only slowly cooled down after the price exceeded that of the Fireball Scroll. However, there were still people bidding, until the price reached one gold and eighty silver.
The person who successfully snatched the spell scroll this time was a man hidden in a black hood. He looked thin, but his appearance could not be seen. He was like a hunter hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
"How come the price of Wind Blade is so much higher than Fireball? Did I remember it wrong? I clearly remember that Fireball is more powerful than Wind Blade."
Ding Jin asked in surprise. Mo Lan smiled when he heard the price. Seeing Ding Jin's confusion, he spoke meaningfully.
"Wind Blade is a single-target attack spell that is silent, just like a gust of wind blowing past."
Ding Jin was a little confused when he heard this, but after thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized.
"It turns out they wanted to use it for assassination."
"It can also be used in turf wars and assassinations within the city."
Mo Lan finished speaking.
Then he looked at the things that were being auctioned.
This is the corpse of a small monster.
“The Warcraft Swift Rabbit is extremely difficult to hunt due to its speed and alertness, and is very rare.
The spell in the Wind Rabbit's extraordinary core is the first-level spell, Wind Spell, a single-target wind-attribute auxiliary spell.
The Qingfeng technique can increase movement speed, attack speed, and sensitivity by one level, and reduce the physical consumption of fighting and traveling, thus increasing physical strength in disguise. It is absolutely a must-have configuration for adventurer teams. The base price is one gold nas, and each bid must not be less than one silver nas. The auction begins."
Mo Lan looked at the Swift Rabbit, which was only as big as a human head, and immediately became interested.
However, there were many people competing for the Swift Rabbit. Mo Lan did not join in the early stage, and only raised the price several times in the later stage.
However, when the final price reached two gold nas, Mo Lan gave up.
“The price is too high and it’s unnecessary.”
The auction continued, and several more extraordinary cores were auctioned. Mo Lan bought another extraordinary core containing a spiritual power spell at a low price of one gold and ten silver.
By this time the auction was gradually coming to an end.
