Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 57 Mysterious Slate
Reiner wore a black dress, stepped onto the auction stage, and bowed to the guests present.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the auction!"

Closing the spell book in his hand, Karl tried to push the window out so that he could see the auction clearly. The auction table was already full of people participating in the auction.

"Let me introduce today's first auction item!"

Two waiters came forward carrying a black rectangular box nearly two meters long, and carefully placed it on the auction stage.

Open the box, take out the items in the box, a staff with a length of about 1 meters, the top of the staff is a piece of magic crystal, surrounded by four arcane crystal fragments, Reiner said while showing : "Jordan Staff, produced by the Alchemy Workshop of the Spell Association!"

"The body of the ebony staff is top-grade magic crystal, which can replenish the user's magic power."

Then he pointed to the arcane crystal shard next to the magic crystal, and said: "A boosting circle is engraved in the arcane crystal shard, which increases spells below level 3 by 30%. It cannot be superimposed with supermagic: elementary spell enhancement."

"The starting price is 50 gold coins, and the price increase is no less than 5 gold coins each time."

"Start the auction!"

Soon the guests in front of the auction stage raised their hands, and a waiter walked up and down, and after hearing the offer from the guest, he shouted, "Customer No. 28, 50 gold coins!"

"55 gold coins!"

……

Looking at the Jordan staff in Reiner's hand, Carl was a little moved. This staff is very suitable for junior mages. The top-grade magic crystal is equivalent to improving the magic value of mages in disguise. Although Carl is not short of magic points now, who would dislike his magic power? How much is it worth? The augmentation circle and the super magic he has mastered do not conflict, and can be superimposed on each other, which can make his spells more powerful.

The disadvantage is that it is too expensive.

"70 gold coins!"

……

"80 gold coins!"

Soon the price reached 80 gold coins, and it stopped. According to Carl’s estimation, this staff is about 60 gold coins in the market. There are differences, but only in the price range.

"80 gold coins! Once."

"80 gold coins! Twice."

"80 gold coins! Three times."

"boom!"

"Deal, congratulations to customer No. 28!"

"After the auction is over, please pick it up at the backstage on the 28th."

The people who came to participate in the auction were very rational, and gave up decisively after the price exceeded the psychological target, and there was no situation of desperately raising the price.

"The second auction item: a mysterious slate, a mysterious slate found by the dwarf archaeological team in an ancient ruin in the Broken Isles, with Mader's name written on it. According to records, Mader was once a high-level elf mage, This tablet holds the ancient magic of the ancient mages."

Madr, Desai said this person, the legendary highborne mage who had studied arcaneization in depth, this mysterious stone slab may be related to whether the high elves' addiction to magic can be solved.

Thinking of this, Karl stood up and poked his head out, called a waiter standing by the window of the box, and said to him, "I don't have so many gold coins at the moment, can I ask for a price?"

Walking over quickly, the waiter explained after hearing Carl's inquiry: "Sir, guests in boxes 1-10 can call for prices if they don't have enough gold coins, and they can just make up the price after the end."

"In addition, if you have other auction items, when you pick up the auction items after the auction, this part of the purchase fee will be deducted, and the remaining gold coins or insufficient gold coins will be returned."

"learn."

The waiter saluted and returned to his original place.

"Mysterious tablet, 50 gold coins"

"Guest number 9, 50 gold coins!"

"Guest number 12, 55 gold coins!"

"Guest number 18, 60 gold coins!"

……

"Guest number 9, 100 gold coins!"

"boom!"

"Deal, congratulations to customer No. 9!"

"After the auction is over, please collect the auction items in the backstage."

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly, Karl was a little surprised, and it made sense on second thought. After all, no one knows what kind of mage Madr is. If Desai hadn't said it, as a high elf who inherited the magic of the high elves, he wouldn't know. Don't say that these human beings have only a few thousand years of history.

"The third auction item: Super Magic: Master Ignite."

Mastery Ignition is a more controversial metamagic. The effect of the metamagic is to add the effect of igniting to the effect of the evocation fire spell. If you only look at the effect, this is a very strong supermagic.

For mages who specialize in evocation fire spells, this is a very cost-effective metamagic, but few mages specialize in one school of spells, let alone a branch of evocation fire spells .

Even if a junior mage like Karl has already mastered the five families of arcane, evocation, illusion, conjuration, and enchantment spells, he only loses a supermagic slot for the two spells of fireball and burst fireball. The loss outweighs the gain.

As expected, 80 gold coins were auctioned off.

"The fourth auction item, the scroll of group invisibility."

……

"No. 13 auction item, the ultimate arcane crystal!"

A piece of purple arcane crystal was placed on the auction stage, about the size of a fist. Reiner carefully held it in his hand and showed it to the guests. Then he took out a certificate of appraisal, "Appraisal certificate of the Dalaran Mage Association, reputation ensure."

"200 gold coins to start bidding!"

Arcane crystals are needed by any mage. This kind of top-grade arcane crystal is often used by high-level mages to make magical weapons.

Karl shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​competition. It would take a large sum of gold coins to buy this crystal, and a large sum of gold coins will be needed to make magic tools later. Street, maybe it will be robbed someday.

In the end, this arcane crystal was won by Box 2 with 450 gold coins.

"No. 14 auction items, 4 fire element cores."

"240 gold coins to start bidding!"

Fire elemental cores are generally used to make augmented magical weapons. When a mage releases a fire spell, he can control the fire element stored in the elemental core to increase the power of the spell.

If you only look at this aspect, it is not much different from Super Magic Mastery Ignition, both of which have a relatively small increase range, but Mastery Ignition will occupy a super magic slot, and you can have as many magic tools as you want, and some mages even have several spells. implements, and use different implements when releasing different spells.

"250 gold coins!"

"255 gold coins!"

……

"525 gold coins, three times, deal!"

Got it, Karl is a little excited, I have never seen so much money in my life, excluding the mysterious slate costing 100 gold coins, and a 419% handling fee, there are 75 gold coins and 19 silver coins left, plus the 439 gold coins in the bag, The total assets reached [-] gold coins!

For the price of Dalaran, this is a huge sum of money. In the mage area with relatively high housing prices, about 200 gold coins can already buy a small villa. Karl plans to use this money plus two Use a fire element core to make a magic weapon, and try to buy a house in the mage area with the remaining money.

Although as a time traveler, he knew that Dalaran would be crushed by the demon lord with one hand in a few years, but Dalaran would be rebuilt and own real estate. After Dalaran was rebuilt, he would also get a piece of land that could Owning a piece of real estate in the floating city of Dalaran is not a loss.
