I'm not a magician

The auction venue was built in the center of the dungeon. It was the only building in the dungeon that allowed all races to stand up straight and enter.

The huge venue is divided into three floors, like a ring surrounding the exhibition space in the middle, so that every auctioneer sitting in the seat can watch the treasures on the stage.

Every five years, the auction is fully organized by the dwarven royal family, and it is open to powerful people in the whole continent. The snowflake-like invitation letters were distributed to the people with status one by one as early as two months ago.

What Bard received was an invitation letter from Area A on the second floor, which is the most privileged position below the royal family, and only the best equipment engineers can be lucky enough to come to this area.

The servant in charge of guiding them was a human race. He knew very well that dwarves didn't like being looked down upon, so he kept bowing his waist and walked half a body to Bard's side.

Bud didn't like this kind of behavior very much, he frowned, and said to the attendant: "You can go normally, it makes me uncomfortable to look at me like this."

The attendant was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He hesitated for a while, and finally straightened his sore waist, and thanked Bud gratefully: "Thank you for this merciful lord, God will definitely protect you."

"Oh, God is too lazy to protect meddling guys, but slaves who don't obey the rules really need to be taken care of." Just as the attendant finished speaking, there was a harsh voice behind him, which was mixed with full of anger. malicious.

The attendant who had just straightened up heard this voice, his face changed drastically, and he lowered his head with a pale complexion, his posture was more humble and respectful than before.

Ji Chi also looked back, but he didn't see anyone. He glanced around and suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head and looked down, only to see a short and thick man followed by a group of similar short and thick people. guard.

The fat dwarf was dressed exaggeratedly, wearing a big red felt robe, which was inlaid with various gold gemstones and precious bird feathers and animal feathers. The whole person was glittering with gold and full of special effects.In addition, he is a bit shorter than other dwarves. If you don't look carefully, you may think it is a legendary helmet that can walk.

The fat dwarf obviously noticed Ji Chi's extremely insulting gesture. He glanced up at Ji Chi's plain shirt and vest, and looked at him coldly: "You human, why don't you kneel down?"

Ji Chi looked at him in surprise, Ji Chi knew about the serious class discrimination in this world, but this was the first time he heard such unkind words.

For a moment, the novelty overwhelmed the unhappiness, and Ji Chi couldn't help laughing: "Why, it's too far away, can't you hear me?"

"Pfft." Tang couldn't help laughing, he could tell that Ji Chi was mocking the fat dwarf's height.

The fat dwarf's expression became more and more gloomy. He looked at Tang with the same gaze, waved his hand with a pit, and ordered the guards behind him: "Chop off the legs of the two of them until they are as tall as me."

"Anthony, that's enough!" Bud couldn't stand it any longer, and took a step forward to glare at him, "You're not the only 'gentleman' in this world!"

Anthony sneered: "Who can be superior to walk with you? Teacher, you really haven't changed a bit in all these years. If you are in the mood to maintain these rubbish, why don't you put more effort into forging."

Bud's brows were filled with deep anger and obvious disappointment: "Don't call me a teacher, I don't have a student like you! Anthony, let me say it one last time, don't forget that you were once a 'trash' ! You are no better than anyone!"

Anthony's fat and fleshy face was full of darkness: "But I worked hard to get to this position, didn't I? Doesn't this prove that I am different? Why do you compare me with those garbage without authorization?"

Bud stared at him closely, and said word by word: "Don't you know how you got to this position? If there is no Fitos, if there is no me, you will still be working in the mine in the dark!"

Anthony didn't waste any more time, and continued to argue with Bud. He gave Bud an emotionless look, and walked forward.

However, when passing by Bard, Anthony stopped and whispered in Bud's ear: "Teacher, then you should take a serious look today, what is the ability of a superior person."

He said softly: "I know why you came today. It's a pity that I want the items of the God of Blacksmithing very much."

Bud's pupils shrank, and he suddenly clenched the suitcase in his hand.

Anthony gave a hearty laugh, and led his mighty attendants to step up to the third floor—the area that royal families or extremely distinguished people from all over the world are entitled to enjoy.

Led by his attendants tremblingly, Ji Chi came to the spacious box in Area A.

The wall of the box facing the display stand is completely transparent. There are exquisite refreshments and comfortable seats in the room of thirty to forty square meters. Next to the seat is a magic circle floating in mid-air. There is Used to bid for customers.

The first thing Bud did when he came to the box was to put the suitcase in his hand into the magic circle, and then he faced the golden magic circle with a cloudy expression on his face.

He closed his eyes, and opened his mouth to the two of them with some difficulty: "Do you...have any extra gold coins on you?"

Ji Chi raised his eyebrows and repeated Bud's previous words: "I have prepared enough gold coins, huh?"

Tang smiled softly and said, "Is it because of that person just now? It's a pity that all my gold coins are thrown in the regiment's warehouse... Now I only have [-] to [-], which is better than nothing."

After Tang Man finished speaking nonchalantly, he took out a magic bag that looked very advanced at first glance from his black clothes, threw it casually, and threw it into the magic circle.

The golden light of the magic circle flashed, swallowed the magic bag, and disappeared.

Bud thanked Tang, but the worry in his heart remained undiminished. He squeezed his frown: "Yes, that was my former student...I didn't expect him to know about the God's suit , he will definitely try his best to photograph the treasure map, and I may not be able to compete with him."

Ji Chi went to the magic circle to observe curiously, and asked him, "Aren't you his teacher? Why is he richer than you?"

Bud sighed deeply: "I'm not very attached to money. I thought my savings over the years were more than enough, but if it's Anthony, he has been refining weapons for the royal family. I really can't guarantee that I can beat him... "

Ji Chi nodded, pointed at the magic circle and asked, "Is this magic circle used to mortgage property? Can it be converted into the value of other treasures?"

Bud knew that Ji Chi had a bunch of legendary items, and they were even more valuable than treasure maps.But as an equipment master with his own persistence, he is unwilling to exchange other people's legendary items for his own interests—even if they seem to be very indifferent...

Damn so angry!

Bud suppressed the grievance in his heart, shook his head and said: "This magic circle can only automatically calculate the gold coins placed inside, even the gold coins placed in the container can be calculated, but it cannot evaluate the value of the item... Dwarf's auction He will speak entirely on the gold coins in his hands."

"Ah, that's it..." Ji Chi understood, tapped his finger on the magic circle, then turned and left it.

When Bud saw this, he lowered his eyes in disappointment. He originally thought that Ji Chi would have some gold coins... But thinking about it, who would carry tens of thousands of gold coins with him?

Even though they came to the auction in a hurry, but the preparations for this large-scale grand event began half a year ago. At this time, the venue was already resplendent and magnificent, and there were many voices. Gather on the central stand.

Just a few minutes later, on that booth, a treasure that is hard to find in the world will be presented to everyone.

Ji Chi came to the front of the box, overlooking the entire grand venue, and stretched out his hand to the transparent wall. Sure enough, before his finger touched the entity, he was bounced away by a gust of airflow. It was a wind barrier.

The barrier seemed to be covered with a layer of light magic. From the inside, you could clearly see the display stand, but you couldn't see the scenes in other rooms.

Just when he began to feel that magic is really a useful thing, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, leaving only the fireworks on the booth burning.

Standing on the bright booth was a rich and handsome dwarf wearing a gorgeous and heavy golden crown. He was the king of the dwarf kingdom.

The king listened to the tsunami-like cheers in the venue with satisfaction, raised his hand and pressed in the air, and when it became quiet again, he said calmly: "Dear guests, welcome to the dwarf dungeon! The city-state of the dwarves is famous for forging, and is also proud of its artifacts! Today is the five-year forging event in the dungeon, and I wish everyone can get the treasures they want at this event!"

The dwarf king slowly walked down from the booth when the venue was boiling again, leaving all the enthusiasm for the treasures to be displayed.

The auction will last for a full day, starting with a dizzying variety of rare materials.

What is the ten-thousand-year-old ice magic crystal outside the northern fortress, the white rainbow wood growing on the top of Yula, and the newly replaced teeth of the dark night dragon in the center of the dark night forest...

Ji Chi is quite familiar with the previous ones, and he has quite a few in his own backpack, but the last one is very suspicious.

Because Ji Chi had heard in the Demon King City that when their little master dominated the Dark Night Forest, he exterminated several creatures in it—including the unfortunate Night Demon Dragon.

So even a grand event of this scale can't eliminate fakes?

Bard seemed to sense his doubts, and was silent for a while: "Yes, the most important thing in an auction is luck, whether it is the early bidding, or the later self-appraisal... A slight mistake can ruin your fortune. , Efforts in vain."

"I'm also betting this time." Bud couldn't help but said, "There is a high probability that the treasure map will lead us to find the parts, but it may also be just a roll of waste paper... everything is possible."

Ji Chi smiled when he heard the words: "So, the mascot is very important, right?"

Bud turned his head away and didn't want to speak, not because of Ji Chi's shameless teasing, but because the next thing to start the auction was the much-anticipated treasure map.

Bud's deep eyes were fixed on the booth without moving, and even Tang, who had been very out of tune, sat up slightly.

The auctioneer in charge of introducing the treasures is a human being, and every auction item can be described in his mouth, but this time, he just narrated it very calmly: "This is a treasure map. It is said that it marks The whereabouts of a legendary thing."

As the light on the booth lit up again, an ancient scroll lay quietly on the red velvet cloth. A standard seven-pointed star was marked on the seal of the scroll, and the crimson seal was intact.

As soon as this thing came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Although there is indeed a very small probability that fakes will be auctioned, but the treasures that can flow into the venue can prove that they are genuine.

But at this time, the probability is secondary, and the two words of legend can ruthlessly grab everyone's reason!

How many years, how many years have there been no news of legendary things appearing in Demon Sword Continent!And today is the closest they get to the legend!Everyone present is likely to witness history!

The auctioneer didn't talk nonsense, and directly quoted the starting price: "The starting price is [-] gold coins!"

"What? One hundred thousand! Isn't this the craziest starting price in auction history?"

"That's for sure! You didn't see what it was! Legendary item! The ones above are sure to get it!"

"Oh, yes, let's take a look at this kind of thing..."

Many people turned their envious and reverent eyes to the third floor of the venue. If nothing else happened, one of the boxes above would be honored to receive a legendary treasure.

There was no quotation on the first floor of the venue, and the remaining gold coins in their magic circle couldn't even meet the starting price, let alone a price increase, so they could only look at the booth with covetous eyes.

There were a few voices on the second floor, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the crushing quotations above.

The price quickly climbed to 150 million gold coins, which is an amount that may not be reached in an entire auction!

On the second floor, only Bud's box was left to make quotations. He had already started to feel uneasy. The old dwarf couldn't help leaving his seat and stood in front of the wind barrier, wringing his hands behind his back.

Tang also suppressed his smile, put together the communication array in his hand, and said seriously to Bud: "Master, I have sent someone to send all the remaining gold coins in the branch, but there are only 30, which is what I can do now." limit."

Bud didn't even bother to say thank you at this time, he nodded, and glanced sideways at the quiet magic circle - when the quotation exceeds the amount inside, the magic circle will mercilessly emit a red light, directly interrupting the current item. Eligibility for the auction.

Bud paced anxiously: "I thought 300 million gold coins would be enough... That's all my savings for 500 years..."

"200 million gold coins!" Before he finished chanting, a box on the third floor raised the price by a full 50!

Bud suddenly looked up at the box, with anger in his eyes.

At the current level of the quotation, everyone is cautiously increasing it bit by bit, and such a large price jump, except for Anthony, Bud really can't think of anyone who would be so arrogant!

Bud's guess was correct. At this moment, in the luxurious box on the third floor, Anthony was shaking a glass of fruit wine specially provided by the royal family of the Forest of Elves, with a mocking smile on his lips, and looked down at the box on the opposite side of the second floor.

Although he couldn't see the scene clearly, with Anthony's familiarity with Bud, he knew without thinking that he must be jumping inside.

Anthony sighed: "It's a pity, I didn't see the teacher struggling in despair, he must be as ugly as those civilians, right?"

He counted with his chubby fingers: "Well, I know that old guy well enough, he only carefully refines weapons three times a year, and the gadgets he makes during his break are half sold and half given to civilians... After so many years, it may be enough to save 300 million, right?"

Anthony smiled to himself, and turned his head to tell the attendant: "Next time, add directly to 250 million. I want to watch Bud carefully increase it little by little, and finally find out in despair——he can't surpass me no matter what hahahaha !"

Tang left the venue midway and took the 30 gold coins brought by his subordinates.

He returned to the box, put the heavy purse into the magic circle, and asked Bud sideways, "Where is the current price reported?"

Bud pulled the chair to sit in front of the barrier, his eyes fell on the brown treasure map, and his voice was a bit bitter: "It's already 290 million... That bastard must be playing with me! But I can't, I can't..."

As soon as the words fell, there was an offer of 300 million from above, which was very close to the limit they could bear, but Anthony's offer seemed to be more than enough.

Bud buried his old face in his palm and sighed deeply.

"Why can't we help it?" Ji Chi saw that the old dwarf would be depressed if he didn't make a sound. He coughed and said with a smile, "You have a mascot, so what are you afraid of?"

Bud didn't even have the energy to be angry. He glanced wearily at the small storage bag on Ji Chi's waist, and said in a shy voice, "Can the mascot conjure 100 million gold coins out of thin air?"

Ji Chi smiled: "It's only 100 million? You don't have much confidence in my mascot, do you?"

Ji Chi stood up from his seat, picked up the quotation communication array in Bud's hand, and whispered into it, "A12 on the second floor, quotation, 600 million gold coins."

Tang: "?"

Bud: "??"

Anthony: "???"
