Chapter 296 - The Auction
Chapter 296 – The Auction
When school had just started, the female teacher had heard that the most handsome man in her class had arrived.
However, she had not expected that he would skip class that afternoon.
There was nothing she could do about it.
According to the rules of the class, as long as she could successfully pass the exam, it did not matter.
However, looking at it today, it really lived up to its reputation.
He was really handsome.
The students below looked at the teacher and stared at Lei Luo.
They all sighed at the same time.
Another woman was drugged.
In comparison, Lei Luo appeared very depressed.
This teacher came and kept staring at him. What was going on?
Lei Luo still wanted to know about the exam.
Lei Luo stood up and asked, "Teacher, can you tell me about the exam?"
"Yes, yes! Ah?"
The teacher came back to her senses this time, and her face turned red instantly.
This was in the classroom. As a teacher, how could she behave like this?
The boys below were also used to it.
Because the girls around were all like this. They even stared at Lei Luo with more infatuation than the teacher did.
The teacher also managed to calm down after much difficulty.
She calmly said, "The exam is in three days. This exam is different from the other exams. This time, the royal family is specially organizing it to select talents. The exam venue is also at the royal family's martial arts arena. When the time comes, please come to school on time."
Lei Luo smiled slightly. It seemed that there would be fun this time.
This exam should be very lively.
"Thank you, teacher," Lei Luo said politely and sat down.
In the end, it made the teacher enter a state of fantasy.
This class ended when the teacher was distracted many times and the female students kept turning their heads.
After the class ended, Lei Luo said, "Naili, Bing, I'll be going back first."
"So soon? It's only the first lesson?" Nailisi said in surprise.
Lei Luo smiled casually and said, "I'm going to buy weapons for you."
Due to the special circumstances of Bing and Naili, normal weapons would not be able to withstand their power.
Lei Luo was going to find a good weapon.
After leaving the school, Lei Luo walked around and did not find anything good.
He walked until he reached an auction house.
This auction house seemed to be quite famous. From the introduction of the auction items at the door, there were quite a lot of things.
"Hmm…This is too bad. This isn't too good either. Hmm? Two large pure amethyst ores? This one isn't bad…I'll take it."
Lei Luo happened to be forging two crystal swords.
And…hmm?
A female elf with the lightning attribute?
She looked pretty, but she was actually an elf princess.
The humans nowadays were really bold. They even dared to capture an elf princess.
That's right. With this elf princess, they could freely use thunder magic without being suspected by others.
Lei Luo decided to buy these two items.
Lei Luo bought a ticket to enter. This ticket was quite expensive. A special class ticket actually cost 70 gold coins.
Because it was a special class ticket, he sat in the first row.
There were fruits and fine wine beside him.
Lei Luo looked around and saw that the people in the first row were all nobles.
He was the only one who was particularly eye-catching.
The atmosphere in the venue was also very lively. It was so lively that it made people feel a little fake and impetuous.
Finally, when everyone felt a little impetuous, a clear knocking sound was heard on the auction stage.
"Welcome to the auction house! On behalf of the auction house, I would like to express my utmost respect to all the distinguished guests!"
The blond man who thought he was in his twenties stood on the stage and cloudy said, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our business alliance's triennial auction! Thank you!"
After bowing, he continued:
"My name is Charles Lowell, and I am the host of this year's auction. Now, please welcome our first auction item, and we will begin today's auction with it!"
Lei Luo nodded his head in appreciation. This Charles had indeed performed well.
He had a generous manner and was well-spoken.
He did not show his cowardice in front of the many nobles.
To be able to hold his own at such a young age, his future was certainly limitless.
It was a pity that Lei Luo did not have any ambition to dominate the world.
However, he was a person that could not be missed.
After thinking about it, Lei Luo was a little distracted.
He actually thought of recruiting talents.
'Forget it. Don't think too much about it.'
The first item to be auctioned was a set of jewelry made by dwarves.
There were a total of five pieces, and the workmanship was very exquisite.
They also had additional defensive abilities.
They could defend against four types of magic, and elemental magic attacks below Level 3.
This was a rare quality item.
This set of jewelry was called "Arrowesti."
In the language of the dwarves, it meant the protection of the gods.
Therefore, most people on the continent called it "the protection of the gods."
It was said that this set of jewelry was made famous by the master of the dwarves, Panhakriya Darikelan, a hundred years ago.
However, thirty years ago, its previous owner disappeared after his death.
It was unexpected that it would appear at this auction today.
It could be said that many people today were determined to get this jewelry because although this jewelry's defense was not low, there were many equipment that were more powerful than it.
For example, in Darikelan's later years, there were many pieces that surpassed it in terms of additional attributes.
The reason why it received so much attention was mainly because of its exquisite workmanship and perfect compatibility.
It was very suitable to be used to please girls.
"Although the defense effect isn't that great, it looks pretty good. Buy it and give it to Naili," Lei Luo muttered.
At this moment, the highest price on the stage had risen from the initial starting price of 50,000 to 170,000.
Moreover, there were still people who continued to increase the price.
"500,000!"
Before his voice had even faded, it had already stirred up the entire stadium.
How could this set of equipment be worth 500,000? It was already considered pretty good to be able to reach 200,000.
Standing on the stage, he was also shocked when he heard this bid. However, he had also gone through training and had a good host, so he quickly came back to his senses.
At the same time, because Zaras had seen the amethyst card that Lei Luo had returned, he understood.
People with amethyst cards did not care about how much an item was worth.
"Are there any higher bids?"
"Are there none?"
The auction hall was silent.
"Good! 500,000 going once! 500,000 going twice! 500,000 going thrice! Sold!"
The mallet in Zaras's hand knocked on the board, and the hammer was the final word.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the guardian of the gods!"
Zaras motioned to the service lady beside him to bring the silver tray with the jewelry to Lei Luo.
After Lei Luo paid the money, he casually put it into the spatial bag.
"Next, the second volume of the auction items. Two amethyst ores. According to the inspection, these two are pure crystals, the starting price is 500,000! Now, the auction begins!" Zaras said.
