Chapter 54 When the auction is in progress

Before the steward knocked on the door and came in, Harry turned into a fox again and lay on the old bat's lap.The steward was not surprised by this. The guests here are all top figures from all walks of life. They bring pets, companions, and slaves that you can only imagine. They also auction all kinds of creatures in the auction house. less than.

"Excuse me, Mr. Prince. This is the price list for the medicine you consigned. If you are satisfied with the price, please sign it, and Gold Gallon will arrive immediately. This is the detailed data of your auction item and the auction session. In addition, these two books are the consignment items and the information of this auction. If you like something, order the auction puppet, and the consignment items will be delivered to you immediately, and the auction items will be delivered after the auction." Snape glanced at the auction The price given by the market, signed his alias, S. Prince "Do you have any orders? Okay, call me again if you need anything."

The price of the auction house is not calculated in Galleons, but in gold. The current ratio is 1:3. The price of the potion consigned by Snape is 2 gold, and a handling fee of 1% is charged. 2 million gold.The price of the lot starts from the minimum value of 3 gold, and if it does not reach this value, it will not be able to enter the auction.

Harry turned back into a human form and took the old bat aside to look through the auction book. Today's auction was divided into two sessions. There was no rare top-notch auction. Two of the old bat's potions were on the market, and one was on the market.Generally, there are some lots with a certain price range on the market. The prices in the market are relatively high and relatively rare, while those that can be auctioned are of better quality than those on the market.The end result is more rare and rare items, things that are basically not available in the market and have a high value.

And the randine pollen they needed was not on the auction list, because it was actually flooded in the black market, but vendors mixed it with things to dilute its purity, and sold it as a wizard drug.What they need is pure pollen, which can be found in consignment books.

Snape looked through the consignment of Lantern pollen, and the medicine for Regulus did not need decades of plant requirements, so he only bought two dozen orchids of common pollen with a price of 270 gold, and bought 370 gold for himself. The pollen of a 50-year-old plant is a dozen orchids.I looked through other medicinal materials that needed to be replenished. The price of the broken house was a bit higher, but the quality of the medicinal materials was much better than those outside.

The medicinal materials and potion auction started on time at two o'clock. The main auctioneer was a female... banshee in a dress. She had a slender tail and looked like a cat or something.She said joking words and played her pointed ears charmingly, which made the men in the front row show their poses.

Harry gasped boredly, he was really not interested in these "magical creatures", knowing their true colors, you will understand that the more beautiful the creature, the more deadly it is.Similarly, he is not very interested in potion auctions. Unlike the old bat who studies various potions, he usually doesn't do much except making some common potions.

The old bat was not very interested either, except for a well-preserved half-moon green leaf grass, he had never photographed anything.It seems that the black tea in the private room is quite to his liking, and he has refilled two cups.

At the end of the game, the potion of the old bat was auctioned at a price of 8 gold and 27 gold.The auction procedure is 5%, the commission is 5%, and the total income is 31 gold.Buy half-moon green leaf grass for 5, the handling fee is 5%, and it costs 5 gold.

After a quarter of an hour's break, the main shooter re-entered the stage, and the second half was much more dazzling, especially the medicines of monsters and beasts. One of them called Yaodan was sold for 6000 million gold, and the monsters and beasts had already taken shape. Medicines are useless to wizards, but some of the so-called spiritual plants are useful, but the price is not low, and research is difficult. Occasionally, Snape wants to research new medicines, and some rich people will take pictures of them to try.

After a large number of medicines and plants for monsters and beasts were sold in the opening scene, there were basically some witches' medicines behind them, including some wizard medicines and elf medicines.Among them, Snape's magic core growth agent has aroused heated discussions. Some people are a little unbelievable after reading the introduction, because after the wizard reaches adulthood, unless the luck hits the top of the head, the magic core will basically stop growing at a high speed, and it will last for decades. Slowly growing, absorbing magic power and slowly merging, the magic core will finally stop changing around the age of 50. The age of 90 to [-] is the golden age of wizards, and then it will slowly decline.

He has been researching this potion since he became a Death Eater. The Dark Lord has prepared many experimental products. He has generated many inspirations from squibs, ordinary wizards, and top wizards, but in the end, the Dark Lord prefers the undead life, and he will not die. Let it go.Recently, he also readjusted the potion because of the magic core and soul potion of the little monster. There is only one condition for him to auction this potion, and the user needs to test it himself.

He didn't intend to auction off the potion either. Human experimentation was strictly prohibited in places other than the Dark Lord. He didn't intend to increase the strength of the Dark Lord, so he tried to auction it with the mentality of trying.Because when he improved the wolfbane potion, he also proposed the need for an experimental product. There were a few Houtian werewolves in the broken house. He provided free potion, and the other party became his experimental product, and the wolf's poison potion was successful in this way.

The wizards who participated in the auction talked a lot, but in the end no one dared to make a move. After all, life was more important than strength. Snape drank his tea indifferently.

"They know it's the professor's medicine, and they will definitely regret it." Harry propped his chin, looked at the hesitation of the ordinary wizard sitting below, and smiled happily.

"I'm not going to succeed in every kind of research." Facing the kind words of the little troll, Snape raised his eyebrows and said the truth calmly.

"At least you won't find an experimenter for a failed product." Harry shrugged and replied, the old bat and saving face, he wasn't sure he wouldn't conduct the experiment.

The corner of the old bat's mouth curled up. Harry froze for a moment and lowered his head to continue looking for food. He finally knew why the old bat stopped smiling, because his smile looked like a stupid lion...well...it was out of line with his usual image.

In the second half, there were a few herbs that interested Snape.A whole carrion lizard, but he didn't get it in the end, because a person who bid at the same time as him, he guessed, was also from the Potions Association, and that person's research project needed carrion lizards, and he hadn't recently unnecessary.Later, he bid for Da Rui Dark Golden Grass and a whole rhinoceros horn, and the other party also gave up.

In the finale lot, a lotus flower that looked like a jade carving caught Harry's attention. He carefully observed it twice with a reading glass and confirmed that it was the jade and golden bergamot lotus.

"Take a picture of this, it's one of the medicines to eliminate the damage of black magic. There are also bamboo and phantom butterfly. These three medicines are too hard to find." This is a student who graduated from Slytherin later. , according to the potion developed by several masters, except for the fast and deadly black magic, other black magic damage can be solved.

Snape didn't say much and participated in the bidding as he said. He had done a lot of research on eliminating black magic damage, and the phantom butterfly was within the scope of his research.

This lotus flower is not a known magical plant, but one of the spiritual plants. It is a lotus flower with intact roots, so the price is not low. It was sold at a high price of 160 million gold. Harry sighed and luckily got it , this thing is hard to come by.

The price of the remaining few auctions was more terrifying than the last one, and the last one, which was even bigger, was sold for over [-] million yuan. Monster beasts are really rich, Harry sighed, even he, a local tyrant in the wizarding world, It's hard to hold a candle to it. Fortunately, he didn't know that monsters use gold as currency, so...

After the medicinal materials and pharmacy auction was over, the steward delivered the auctioned medicinal materials and brought back the settlement statement. After checking it clearly, Snape signed it.

"Is Mr. Prince's magic core growth agent still on the auction list?" Snape nodded. He needed experimental products and didn't care about the price.

"In addition to the auction house, we will also contact recorded buyers. If anyone is interested, we will send out an invitation letter, okay?"

"Well..." Snape grunted, then glanced at the little fox on his lap and said, "Please let me know if there is any bamboo."

"Okay, what else do you want?" Snape shook his head, and the steward bowed politely, "The auction of the alchemy equipment and raw materials you reserved will start in an hour. You can go to the second floor to have a meal, or you can let the service puppet Send it here, please pay attention to the time, if you have any questions, call me at any time"

After the steward withdrew, Harry returned to his human form. He plucked the emerald green petals of the lotus, and was slapped by the bergamot-shaped leaves.

"The real murderer... We have to buy jadeite to keep it, this thing only absorbs jadeite" Harry pointed to the jadeite placed at the bottom of the lotus flower pot. Just nourishment.

Jade is not commonly used in alchemy tools, but it is not uncommon. The price is not too high. Of course, except for those of excellent quality, jade, jade, meteorites, and various ores, there is actually no standard price. It depends entirely on the buyer and the seller. Measuring the price, whether you are losing or earning can only depend on your ability.

"Let's see what's for dinner." The service puppet walked up to the old bat, holding a menu in his hand, the text had been adjusted, Snape flipped through it, ordered steak with sauce, and ordered another at Harry's suggestion Crispy duck, and a glass of elf-made wine.In fact, he doesn't drink much because of his father. Occasionally, he will drink some table wine if he is interested, but he has always been very restrained.

After Harry ordered his own dinner, he began to browse the nourishment for Lianhua, selected some good-quality leftover materials, and looked at some materials that needed to be replenished. If the price could meet his standards and the price was not outrageous, he bought them. .

The price of alchemy raw materials is generally higher than that of magic plants, and monsters are not very interested in this. Competing with alchemists is generally some human mechanics and weapon masters, as well as dwarves and goblins who are good at making weapons.Therefore, although the price of alchemy materials is high, it is relatively peaceful, and most likely there will be no sky-high prices.

The evening auction is also divided into two sessions. The first session is for alchemy raw materials, and the second session is for alchemy tools and some machine tools.Some special items and treasures made by fairies will not appear in this kind of auction.Broken houses have this kind of special top auction. There are three or four sessions from time to time a year. Guests in top boxes can make an appointment to participate. Guests in ordinary boxes will only select capable and financial guests when the seats are not full. Send invitations.

Instead of a traditional English dinner, Harry opted for seafood gratin and a custard pudding.It was a bit early for them to have dinner at this time, especially Harry swallowed snacks all afternoon and took a few mouthfuls of rice to support himself.The little troll was like a child at this moment, Snape muttered in his heart, slowly dangling his wine glass and staring at the plate without saying a word.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the alchemy raw materials officially started shooting, all kinds of metals and stones.It takes good eyesight to distinguish good from bad, and there is a device to prevent perspective on the auction booth to prevent special equipment from peeking into the interior of some rough stones.Of course, the auction appraisal also gave its own suggestions and photos during the appraisal for the buyer's reference.

The first thing to auction is the crystal rough. Crystals are mostly used to make utensils in alchemy. Its energy is relatively stable, and it is especially suitable for storing any substance. Except for collisions with crystals, generally there will be no problems.

Harry took a piece of white crystal that is not very big but very transparent, and another piece of tea crystal and amethyst with a darker color. The price is moderate, and the total price is 21 gold.After the crystal are the seven major metals gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and mercury. Of course, the seven major metals do not simply refer to these types of substances. Different substances will make the metals appear in different states.

Harry took a piece of gold ore that only weighed ten pounds and spent 6 gold.These metals are generally not small in size, and some are even counted by tons. Harry doesn't need to make large items now, except that gold is a bit more expensive, and the rest only needs to replenish some stocks from the consignment book.

After the metal category is finished, there are all kinds of precious rough stones. The rough stones have always been the most lively highlight in the auction market. There are safe and expensive full-cut rough stones, half-cut rough stones with moderate prices, and closed rough stones that depend entirely on luck.The rough stones needed for alchemy are somewhat different from the jade standards in the Muggle world. The first thing an alchemist considers is not the color and style, but the quality and stability.Of course, the broken house also has guests from Muggles, and they will also participate in bidding for some top-quality rough stones.

Harry took a reading glass and looked at the lot carefully. Snape was not very good at these rough stones. A little gem powder was also used in potions, but they used very little amount. He only knew about completely planed rough stones.

Harry didn't want to find a rough stone that was too big, which was very rare among the fully enclosed rough stones at auction. He studied the auction book and was only interested in the No. 7 fully enclosed jadeite, and there was also a half-cut jadeite the size of a fist. The green is breathtaking, and there is the so-called imperial green ice jadeite in the Muggle world. With the careful angle display of the main shooter, Harry compared the stability number and magic conductivity in the data and gave up on it. There will be a lot, and finally this rough stone was auctioned off at a price of 32 gold.

Harry continued to look at other rough stones. Although he didn't plan to buy large rough stones, he could practice his eyesight. He liked the No. 9 big jadeite rough stones, and the price of more than 800 kilograms would not be low.Of course, when showing No. 7, he observed the outer skin very carefully, and decided to photograph it according to various parameters.

The bidding was a bit high, and there was a man from the top box and a Muggle haggling over the price. In fact, he used jade to make relatively few things. Harry hesitated for a while and calculated the price of the thing he liked, and he was still going to bid it. In the end, it was auctioned at a price of 49 gold.

Then there is Hetian jade. Relatively speaking, jade, the raw material for alchemy, is better than jade. However, as the market fluctuates, nobles prefer jade ornaments, which leads to the high price of jade. But it is okay now, and the market share of jade is not small. , He took a rough stone of 25 gold.

Next came the auction of rough gemstones of various colors. Harry took a fancy to two chrysoberyls, one ruby, and two emeralds.In the end, only one ruby ​​and one emerald were sold at a cost of [-] gold.

Diamonds are the last auction items in the gem category. Diamonds are mostly used in the manufacture of weapons in alchemy. Except for some inlaid decorations to enhance the beauty, the wizarding world uses relatively little. I bought dozens of broken diamonds in the consignment book.

After the shooting of jade and gemstones, there will be all kinds of land containing metals and high-priced stones from the sky. The land Harry will not consider for the time being, and there will be huge waste from meteorites, and there will also be top-quality guides the size of fingernails. stone.The metals in meteorites used in alchemy are better than ordinary metals, causing the price of stones from the sky to rise all the way.

An all-black meteorite and a blue-ringed golden meteorite that Harry had his eyes on.The meteorite was of good quality and was snatched up by the alchemist, but he didn't get it. The blue ring golden meteorite was bought by him at a price of 260 million.

He didn't want to participate in the second half of the alchemy auction. Harry turned back into a fox and put it in the old bat's pocket. Snape called the steward to settle the goods. Neither alchemy raw materials nor untreated magic plants were suitable for the shrinking spell. The auction house used a box that cast the space expansion spell to pack the auction items together. After the settlement amount was correct, the auction house took back the invitation letter and handed him the one-time door key and the golden Galleon.

Snape put the box into another pocket, lowered his head and hurried out of the dilapidated house, it was already dark outside, and the one kilometer from the dilapidated house to the teleportation point was the most accident-prone section.According to the rules of the broken house, no one can do anything in the broken house, but they don't care about it outside the broken house, and the distance of this kilometer cannot be used for any teleportation, so many robbers are waiting on this road, waiting for the fat sheep to come to the door , Snape released his magic power to alert the people hiding around. Fortunately, no one who was not afraid of death provoked him. When he arrived at the teleportation point, he immediately grasped the maple leaf tightly, and experienced the feeling of pulling his belly button again.

They landed near Betsy Park, and Snape first apparated to send the troll home.

Snape had never entered the little troll's alchemy room before. In the alchemy room, various raw materials were piled up on one wall, and the other wall was full of cabinets, which stored refined alchemy raw materials or semi-finished products. There was a magic circle engraved in the center of the room. The half-finished magic stone floated smoothly in it.Harry moved the things he had photographed out of the box and suspended them against the wall, leaving the pot of precious lotus flowers to the old bat.

"I only remember the ingredients. As for the detailed dosage and steps, the professor will have to study it carefully. I have to look for the book about the Jade Golden Bergamot Lotus. I will give you the medicine list when the school starts?" Lianhua has already fallen asleep. , for Harry's malicious disturbance, it angrily curled up the leaves and chased his hand, Harry bared his teeth and retracted his hand cautiously.

"En." Snape put the box back into his pocket, turned and left with an acknowledgment.

"Good night Professor" Harry smiled good night at him.

When the door slammed "Good night", Harry raised the corner of his mouth in surprise when he heard the old bat's reply.
