0614 Shield of Throd
Should we say that the current situation is booming? Or is it calm?
Lorraine felt that she was a little unsure.
On the one hand, today is the first day of the first of the two-day six auctions, and now the first half of all sixteen items is the first half of all sixteen items. From the perspective of position, it can only be regarded as a hot field in the hot field.
But the Shelter Villa Auction is a top black market auction after all, and most of the bidders attending the conference are wallets behind political forces.
Compared with the family and pure chaebols, these people have a weaker concept of money. In other words, they may be the group of people in the world who are most willing to spend meaningless spare money.
The auction went very smoothly, with six consecutive lots on the stage, either history, art, or famous people and famous scenery. The price comparison between the transaction and the starting price was not low.
Although Lorraine was unable to refer to the authoritative bargaining because of the confidentiality of the list, he turned on the light three times based on his interest, so he could feel the premium transaction in this game.
Premium transactions mean that there is a lack of professional collectors among bidders, and that Lorraine's opponents are not short of money, and both the assets and the cash they bring seem to be abundant.
This is not good news for the furious auction.
Lorraine secretly raised the psychological price of the design drawing, from the earlier one hundred thousand pounds to 140 thousand pounds.
The seventh lot has finally appeared, and it is Lorraine's only predetermined goal in this game, the Viking Round Shield Sluder Shield.
The servant pushed a blue-gray round shield from under the stage. The shield surface was completely peeled off, leaving only the exposed metal shield. The edges were carved with lifelike cauldrons, and the leather nails were covered with suitable maintenance.
The emcee guided the round shield and introduced it: "In the 14th-century Viking epic "The Proud Dinas Sakya", a story is described. Prince Dinas of Egypt was driven out of the kingdom by his jealous brother and met the princess of Brauna, Phylotemia, while fleeing."
"Philotemia fell in love with Prince Dinas, not only convinced Brauna's king to support the prince's revenge, but also followed the prince's faith and became Brauna's Vikings."
"The two sides support each other on the road of revenge and never leave each other until Dinas falls into a trap in a battle. In times of crisis, Philotemira's prayer touched Asgard. Valkyris Lud gave her his divine power and aura shield, allowing Philotemira to become a shield woman and be able to fight side by side with her lover."
"This shield is the shield of Slude, the blessing of Valkyrie, and the legacy of Princess Branla Philotemira."
"Its patron is a hidden Viking fishing village in Greenland. The villagers claim to be descendants of Dinas and Philotemira. This shield was worshipped continuously for hundreds of years until it was persuaded by our salesmen, and this was the first time it flowed into the civilized market."
"We have gathered experts from all fields to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of it. First of all, Bramla means [black] in Viking, and coupled with the existence of the Egyptian prince Dinas, it is generally believed that Filottemila may be the daughter of a priest or chieftain of a powerful tribe in Central Africa."
"However, in the 14th century that Sakya refers to, Viking culture has disappeared from mainstream culture. The Viking wars that are not clearly recorded in Egyptian history, and Viking culture cannot find historical support to radiate to North Africa."
"On the other hand, the Norwegian expert Mr. Smog believes that the Viking Sakya and Edda are mostly used in the Viking language. Another layer of Brahla means black land, and Egypt also has the meaning of the end of heaven and earth in the Viking records, and the kingdom of fire."
"From this perspective, the arrogant Dinas Sakya is probably referring to the war story between the two Viking villages of Greenland and Iceland. Greenland is Egypt and Iceland is Braunra."
"On the other hand, the craftsmanship of the Shield of Slude adheres to the forging characteristics of the Viking's heyday, and uses a unique temperature difference quenching. The material is Mithril, that is, Uz steel melted with an alchemy formula. This formula has been lost in the 12th century. Although the possibility of a small-scale inheritance is not ruled out, it is extremely difficult to imitate it."
"In summary, the history of the Shield of Slude is a reference, and because of its artistic value and special materials, it has high value for crafts, and is well maintained, it will be fresh and fresh. The starting price of the Shield is 1,200 pounds, and the price is 300 pounds per round. Please show the lights and quote."
Without Lorraine's special instructions, facing the Shield of Sluder, which had long been a target, Adere directly lit up the yellow light.
The auction began, with 9 companies quoting in the first round, 8 companies in the second round, 6 companies in the third round, 5 companies in the sixth round, and 3 companies in the eighth round. By the tenth round, only Lorraine's No. 12 and another No. 18 were left to win the final victory.
"3900 pounds! Shield of Sluder 3900 pounds, No. 12, No. 18 3900 pounds! Round 11..."
"No. 12 is 4,200 pounds! No. 12 is 4,200 pounds, and the choice of guests No. 18 is... free quote!"
The first free quote since the auction suddenly appeared. Two lights were lit up at the same time on the 18th. In the direction of the box that Lorraine could not see or hear, the emcee announced that the auction was suspended.
Lorraine's eyes flashed.
"Is it because of Viking's weapon freely quoted? Is it really so determined to win? Is it because of Viking? Or alchemy?"
He frowned and pondered.
Time passed quickly in contemplation, and before Lorraine could understand the truth, the emcee had already received the note from the waiter.
"The price of the box No. 18 is 1,000 pounds! The Shield of Sluder is 5,200 pounds, is there any higher bid?" The emcee's voice was excited and high, "The twelfth round, now the price is 5,200 pounds! No. 12! Do you still need to continue on No. 12? The thirteenth round of bidding is now..."
"Captain, what should I do?" Adere looked at Lorraine in embarrassment.
Lorraine waved her hand gently: "Stay before I stop."
"yes!"
The price of the shield rose to 5,500 pounds, which is no less than a year's tax in a medium-sized town. After Lorraine's quote, the reaction of the No. 18 box was... the second free quote, 6,500 pounds!
The starting price of 1,200 pounds of shields to 6,500 pounds has already exceeded the normal rational auction range. The determination of box No. 18 has greatly increased Lorraine's interest and she couldn't help but stand up and ask Adere to remove the baffle.
"Free Quotation!!!!" exclaimed, "The first climax has appeared! After the guest on the 18th, he applied for a free quote on the 12th!!!"
"Slud Shield! The Alchemy Shield in Viking Sakya, the legacy of Princess Philotemira! What is it unique? How much is it for the distinguished guest No. 12 to make an increase in price!"
Lorraine sat upright in front of the coffee table holding a quill pen, spreading a piece of paper in front of her, and there was no ink on the paper.
He thought for a while, wrote a few strokes on the paper, dried the ink and handed it to Carmen, and asked with a smile: "You have participated in many auctions, please help me with some advice."
Carmen took it with a smile and glanced at it: "The Captain is paying great attention to that unknown opponent."
"Just curious." Lorraine nodded.
Carmen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "It's pretty good. Although it's a little unscrupulous, your purpose is not that shield."
The reckless man's face tightened when he heard this: "Captain, we don't want the shield?"
"The shield must be ours." Lorraine put away her pen and asked Adere to hand the note to the waiting waiter, "but our purpose has changed. No matter how good the Shield of Slude has become an accompanying thing now. Sorry, Lef..."
