Chapter Thirty-Nine: [Auction]
On Sunday evening, Lin Tao and Huang Hua made an appointment to meet at the door of the Luo Family Auction in Kelsa City.
When we met, Lin Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Hua's appearance. Since the specifications for tonight's occasion were relatively higher, Huang Hua dressed up and took off his usual casual clothes. After shaved his hair, Huang Hua looked more energetic, completely dispelling his previous decadent appearance.
Lin Tao smiled and said with a slutty look on his face: "I said Brother Huang, you look good."
Huang Hua, the honest man, scratched his head with a embarrassed look on his face, turned his head to look at Lin Tao, as if he was surprised why Lin Tao's outfit had not changed.
Lin Tao patted the light blue top on his body and said, "Anyway, no one knows me, and I'm too lazy to meet other people, so what I wear doesn't matter."
After he said this, Huang Hua seemed a little embarrassed.

When the auction was about to begin, many men and women dressed in bright clothes appeared in the auction venue. It can be seen that many of the people among them were acquaintances, and they greeted each other enthusiastically after meeting them.
The auction venue is within the Luo Family Auction House and is not large in size. The first floor is an ordinary seat and the second floor is a VIP room.
Huang Hua and Lin Tao were sitting in the third VIP room on the second floor at this moment, which was the position arranged for them by the middle-aged man. The two were very satisfied with this position.
At that time, the clock pointed to seven o'clock, and the auction of the Luo Family Auction this week officially began.
The host on the stage looked at the participants in the audience with a smile and introduced enthusiastically. "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome everyone to the auction site this week. All the items participating in this auction were strictly selected by our Luo Family Auction Office. A few of them were really good. Okay, looking at everyone's eyes that I wish I could strangle me to death, I won't talk nonsense. Let's start the auction directly."
Listening to the host's humorous introduction, many viewers laughed and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
Lin Tao nodded and praised in his heart: "The Luo family is worthy of being an old auction house, and even the host is so cool!"
"The first auction item, a human-level fighting spirit secret book, describes the earth-based martial arts, called "Da Earth Cover". The price is 5,000 gold coins, and each additional price must not be less than 500 gold coins."
Lin Tao looked at the secret book in the auctioneer with a little interest. Of course, he was just interested. This kind of human-level secret book was not even noticed by Lin Tao. Who said that Lin Tao had the holy-level martial arts of "Nine Dragons Transformation"? But this move is probably good. Lin Tao has no moves until now, and he is just relying on random fights. Although the end of the secret book of "Nine Dragons Transformation" is printed with the elements in it in turn, those things need to be learned at least after the third change.
Some of the martial arts that Lin Tao knows now are taught by Luo Tian when he participated in the Blood Trial.
Obviously, as a first-hand gun, this earth-based technique called "The Earth Cover" is pretty good, but it cannot attract the attention of rich people, so the price was not enough before. In the end, it was just bought at the lowest price.
"The second auction item tonight is the Sword of Asel. It is said that the Sword of Asel is the sword worn by the empire when he was looking at Asel's life. It is extremely sharp, but it can break gold and stones. Asel brought it to a wide area. I don't know how many people made the dead souls under the sword. Then, the real value of the Sword of Asel is not the sword itself, but its meaning. The Sword of Asel, also known as the Sword of the Sword of the Sword, believes that if you own it, you will definitely bring you good luck and victory. The price is 20,000 gold coins, and each additional price must not be less than one thousand gold coins."
"It turned out to be the Sword of Asel. I didn't expect that the Luo family is really capable and can find such things." Huang Hua, who was standing beside him, held a wine glass in his hand, looked at the long sword in the auctioneer's hand emitting a terrifying cold light under the light, and said with envy.
Lin Tao was slightly stunned and turned around and asked, "Brother Huang, do you know this sword?"
Huang Hua nodded. I had heard people say this when I was on duty. This sword seemed to be a tomb robber, and it was stolen by a tomb robber. A long time ago, when I was a soldier, I should have heard of Asel's deeds, and I was naturally familiar with the sword in his hand."
"What's wrong with this sword?" Lin Tao asked in confusion.
Huang Hua smiled and took a sip of wine, "Just as the auctioneer said just now, this sword itself can only be considered good, it is a sword. But its significance is great, especially for a general who leads troops to fight. It is said that before Asel would always worship the sword before every battle, and then take it to war with it. The strange thing is that only with this sword, Asel would win every battle. It is precisely because of this that the turtle empire that year was so prosperous. However, after Asel's death, the sword disappeared from people's sight, and he did not expect it to appear here today."
Lin Tao is like listening to a story. For him, an outsider, there are many things he doesn't understand about the history of Izumo Continent and the national conditions of other countries.
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins!" a fat man raised his hand and shouted.
With a loud roar, the competition for the sword of Asel began.
Lin Tao hid in the VIP Room No. 3 and watched the fight among the crowd, and couldn't help but shake his head, "It's really too much money! Such a fat man is obviously not a fighter, nor a soldier! What's the point of buying this sword?"
Huang Hua also looked contemptuous, "If such a person is fighting for the sword of Asel, I wonder if Asel will vomit blood if he is still alive. It is obvious that if he buys it back, I really can't think of any use besides putting it in a treasure room full of money for showing off. If such a sword is bought by such a person, it will be a waste of heaven."
Soon after the first price increase, another voice shouted: "Thirty thousand gold coins!"
The fat man was stunned and looked at the place where the sound came from. His face was a little unstable. The people sitting in the VIP room were competing with him. Of course, he knew that most of the people sitting in the VIP room were people who could not afford to offend him. But after hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand again and shouted: "Thirty thousand two thousand gold coins!"
VIP No. 3 Indoor.
When Lin Tao heard the fat man offer 32,000 gold coins, he raised his hand again and shouted to the auctioneer: "35,000 gold coins."
"Everyone, Sword of Asel, the VIP guests in Room 3 have already offered to 35,000 gold coins. Is there anything higher?" The auctioneer shouted in an enthusiastic and full voice, and his voice echoed in the audience.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins, the first time!"
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins, the second time!"
"Everyone, as long as I count down again, the Sword of Asel will belong to the VIP room No. 3! A last chance!"
Huang Hua looked at Lin Tao with a nervous look on his face, his eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Brother, are you?"
Lin Tao turned around and smiled and blinked at Huang Hua, making faces at Huang Hua.
Huang Hua immediately understood what Lin Tao meant. He quickly saw that the fat man downstairs was unhappy and deliberately raised the price to mess with him. Seeing that Lin Tao was actually fun, Huang Hua also smiled bitterly and shook his head, praying for the fat man downstairs in his heart. At the same time, he felt excited in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Since such a sword was bought by this fat man, let his pocket be thinner.
The fat man downstairs didn't know what the two of them were thinking in the VIP Room No. 3 upstairs. He really thought that others were competing with him. His face suddenly became a little unstable, a little angry, but he was trying hard to restrain himself. If he had followed his usual temper, he would have asked his subordinates to rush upstairs and beat the people in the box, and dared to compete with him. He would have lived an impatient life.
But now he doesn't feel that way. The City of Kelsa is a city of freedom, and people from all countries come and go, and their strength levels vary. Who knows which country's princes or princes are sitting in the VIP room at this moment? After all, this is not his own territory, so the fat man just whispered to the people in the VIP room No. 3, but he did not dare to be arrogant.
But he brags to others before and will definitely buy them. If he gives up now, he will definitely be laughed at when he goes back.
Thinking of this, the fat man gritted his teeth, showed a ruthless look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Fifty thousand gold coins!" When he said this, he looked proudly in the direction of VIP Room No. 3. This price was already his bottom line. He was afraid that the price would be entwined with him by 5,500 yuan, so the other party would continue to hang out with him, so he suddenly made the price to 50,000 yuan. There was a meaning of burning the boats. If Lin Tao continued to increase the price, the fat man decided not to.
As soon as the high price of 50,000 gold coins was released, the atmosphere at the scene was ignited and people exclaimed. The expressions of various people were different, but most of them were gloating and watching the two people scathed.
But to everyone's disappointment, until the auctioneer knocked the small hammer three times in a row, the VIP guests in Room No. 3 upstairs did not shout a higher price again, which made them lose their minds.
And at this moment, VIP No. 3 indoor.
Lin Tao peeled an orange like a ok, and slowly started eating it. While eating, he was still discussing the taste of the orange with Huanghua next to him. However, he didn't even look at the auction downstairs, as if everything just now was like his five levels.
If the fat man knew about this scene, he would probably vomit blood in depression. Because Lin Tao didn't like it, he made him pay twice the price and used two 25,000 gold coins to buy the Sword of Asel.
