Chapter 247 Auction

Businessman Cage has been sparing no effort to promote the auction for Roger recently, hoping that the first auction in Kent Town can attract as many guests as possible. 【】As a shrewd businessman, Cage knows very well what it means for his future business to be able to get in touch with a baron.In particular, this baron obviously attaches great importance to business, and it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to get his appreciation.

Of course, Cage will not let go of such an opportunity. In recent months, he has even suspended his own business and devoted himself to promoting Roger's auction.This was Cage's first time working for Roger, and he just wanted to do the whole thing beautifully, so as to win the appreciation of the baron.

Cage's reputation among his peers is not bad, and his hard-working publicity has also been responded by many businessmen.In particular, there are also works by the puppet master Addison and the alchemist BASF among the auction items. This news alone is enough to attract people's attention.

So just a few days before the auction started, merchants had poured into the small town of Kent from all over the place, making the town lively again.Although the current level of prosperity cannot be compared with the heyday of Kent Town, it has already made the townspeople very happy.Nothing could be more gratifying to those who insisted on remaining in their native land than the hope that at least they had reached the town of Kent again and prospered.

Roger has been extremely busy these days. He has to be busy preparing for the auction, register all the auction items, and determine the price. He is so busy every day that he hits the back of his head. That's good.

Two days before the official start of the auction, all the auction items finally arrived.Although Roger has always been very confident about the auction, at this time he still found that the eye-catching items at the auction were completely beyond his imagination.

The auction items include weapons carefully crafted by the dwarves of the Hammer tribe, as well as various medicines refined by BASF's students in recent months. The auction item that came in... Roger wanted to beat the old guy up every time he thought about it.

Roger's impulse was not, of course, that Addison had failed to keep his promise to bring any work up for auction.But it's really because the work produced by the puppet master is so good that Roger is not willing to sell it.For this reason, Roger went to Master Addison several times, trying to persuade him to take out another work for auction. As for the original auction item, Roger would rather buy it.

But Addison just disagreed with Roger's suggestion and insisted on using that work to participate in the auction.This is not because of how trustworthy Addison is. In fact, the auctioned works are just randomly dug out from the warehouse by him.The reason why Master Addison was so persistent was because he had already become fascinated by studying the blueprints provided by Roger, and he didn't want to waste any more time digging through another previous work.

Roger was very annoyed by this but he could do nothing about it. However, since the advertisement had already been published, he didn't want to give the merchants the impression that he didn't count his words at the first auction, so he had to reluctantly sell Addison's piece The work is also included in the auction list.

Before the start of the auction, more than 100 merchants applied to participate.In fact, Roger is not very satisfied with only so few merchants participating in the auction, but he believes that after this first time, the reputation of the Kent Town Auction will definitely spread quickly, and the number of guests who will come to participate will multiply by several times. Even dozens of times the magnitude of the increase.

After Roger prayed restlessly, the auction finally started.

Because there were more than 100 merchants participating in the auction, Roger chose the auction to be held in the largest construction trade union in the town.

Merchant unions usually only appear in big cities, and there is actually a branch of the merchant union in Kent Town, which shows how prosperous it was back then.However, Roger also believes that as long as this auction is successful, and then he issues a series of decrees, Kent Town may be able to develop more prosperously than before.

Cage volunteered to host the auction, and Roger knew Cage was trying to show everyone he was his man.However, Cage also contributed a lot to the auction, so Roger agreed to his request, which really made Cage happy for a long time.

Amidst the uproar, the auction officially began.

The first auction item was a set of ten bottles of primary healing potions. These potions were all refined by Tom and Jerry. Although the effect was not very good, it was difficult to buy in the market.The price of the medicine quickly rose from the base price of five hundred gold coins, and finally a merchant bought it for 1000 two hundred gold coins.

Although according to the agreement with Master BASF, Roger couldn't get a single copper for this gold coin, and even the transaction tax was completely exempted, but he was still very happy.The popularity of the first batch of auction items at least shows that Roger's products are very attractive. As long as it can bring enough popularity to the town of Kent, isn't Roger, the lord, afraid that he won't be able to make money?

Next, Cage auctioned off some potions, which were of different types, including healing potions, energy potions, and even aphrodisiac potions that improve male performance.To Roger's surprise, the price of these potions is actually the potion of aphrodisiac, and the price is the highest. Men are the same whether they are on the earth or in the world of Torenzo. They always want to make their abilities stronger and better OK

As more goods were sold, the atmosphere at the auction became more and more lively.Many merchants originally only came here for a single purpose, and did not have much hope for the auction held by the new lord of Kent.But judging from the things that have been sold so far, everyone already felt that the trip was worthwhile, and everyone decided that they would still participate in the next auction.Not to mention that the prices of these medicines have been hyped very high, but they are all priced in the market.As long as these medicines are resold to big cities, it is no problem to earn half or even double the profit.

"The upcoming auction items will definitely surprise you all. Even at auctions in big cities, you will not be able to see such rare items!" The very excited emotions were mobilized even higher.After saying this, he deliberately paused for a while, and then raised his voice: "The next auction item is a full set of half-body armor and weapons made by alpine dwarves, a total of exactly one hundred sets!"

"Boom!" Cage's words immediately caused a commotion, and almost everyone stood up excitedly.It should be said that although the potions auctioned before were rare, they were made by human alchemists after all. As long as you are willing to spend money or have a hard enough way, you can always get some.

However, the weapons and equipment made by the dwarves are not something you can buy with money.These dwarves are all extremely stubborn, and have always had a tense relationship with humans. Even if you move a golden mountain to them, you can't buy anything from these dwarves.However, now that Roger has moved out a hundred sets of weapons and equipment made by dwarves, it is no wonder that these businessmen are going crazy.So many weapons and armor are enough to equip a whole brigade of soldiers, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. It is definitely the best choice for the nobles and even the royal guard.Anyone who can take pictures of these equipments will definitely make a lot of money as soon as they change hands.

"Is it really the equipment made by the dwarves?" Some businessmen couldn't believe it was true, and even asked about the authenticity of these weapons and equipment.

This is a serious offense to the lord. Cage was about to reprimand the merchants with a serious face, when a rough voice yelled dissatisfiedly: "You human beings who are as thin as weeds dare to question the craftsmanship of our hammer dwarves!" , I’m so pissed off! These things were all made by me and my clansmen, whoever doesn’t believe it, get out!”

The merchants looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see a dwarf jumping up and down and cursing those who questioned.This made everyone shut their mouths immediately, and no longer entangled in the question of whether these equipments are real or fake.The dwarves are notoriously straight-tempered and will not lie. Since the dwarves testified on the spot that the equipment was made by his tribe, everything is fine.

"The base price for each set of armor and weapons is [-] gold coins, and each increase is [-] gold coins!" Cage seized this opportunity to start the auction: "[-] sets are sold as a package. Now, everyone can start bidding!"

"Eleven hundred!"

"1000 two hundred!"

"Fifteen hundred!"

"One thousand and seven!"

"two thousand……"

Many merchants are determined to get these one hundred sets of armor and weapons, and have raised the prices to new highs one after another.In the end, a big businessman from Mandos City bought this batch of weapons and armor at a price of 35 gold coins each. Although the total price was as high as [-], the businessman still smiled happily, as if he had made a lot of money. .

The successful auction of this set of weapons and armor also brought the atmosphere of the auction to a new climax. Cage took this opportunity to sell two bottles of high-grade medicine refined by the master of BASF himself.Its super healing potion, which can be said to have the effect of returning the dead, sold for a sky-high price of 40, and another bottle of high-speed growth potion also sold for 16.

This made Roger sigh secretly, it is really easy for alchemists to make money, and only two bottles of potions sold for more than 50.This also made him look forward to the alchemy laboratory of the castle building, and he didn't know how much benefit it would bring him after it was completed.

"Everyone, the last lot of this auction that will be auctioned next is also the most exciting lot. I believe that even in the most sensational auctions in history, the same item is Extremely rare!" Cage seized the opportunity that the merchants were still very excited, and grandly sold the last product tonight: "This is the invincible fighting machine built by the puppet master Addison himself. The steel golem, a mighty warrior who will betray!"
