Chapter 307: 307
“Everyone, I will now introduce the piece Lady Carrie brought to the auction!” Lord Jude held the long sword in his hand and proceeded to say, “this is a knight sword made by humans!”
As Lord Jude’s words landed, discussion began to arise among the audience . No one would expect Lady Carrie to bring a Knight sword for auction . These swords were not suitable for normal elves; only the ones with extraordinary strength could swing it around .
Prince Adolf knew things were not this simple . Lady Carrie was not stupid . A human knight sword could not even be compared to the early works of Master Leon . All Prince Adolf wanted was to make Lady Carrie lose face in this little auction in front of the young elites of the 2 cities, as well as showing off the wealth of Begro City .
On the other hand, Lord Jude had an extremely deep understanding of weapons and different equipment due to his family’s history . His ability was definitely on par with those authenticators in big auction stands . Therefore, even though he was just handed this big sword, he was confident he could identify it very quickly .
“Looking at the patterns on the body of this sword, this is also an ice magic sword . There aren’t many Masters who can make an ice magic sword, and every one of them will have a signature marking . Normally this marking will be etched on to the handle . ” Lord Jude explained as he held the handle up to his eye .
“This is strange; there isn’t any marking on this sword . Who’s master’s work could it be?” Lord Jude felt a little stupid as he kept looking . Afterward, he helplessly gazed at Lady Carrie for support . Since she is the one who gave him this sword, she definitely knows where it came from .
“You had already eliminated all the masters, can’t you just guess the result already?” The cold voice of Lady Carrie emerged .
After hearing there might be a chance this was the work of Master Abel, the buzz suddenly intensified in the hall . Master Abel also had the nickname of the most potential Grand Master Blacksmith, and this was testified by the Dwarfs’ master . Since there wasn’t much work of Master Abel out there, everyone was sold with an astronomical price . Those lucky ones who got the chance to buy one of his works would definitely hide them away immediately anyway, so that made Master Abel’s work even rarer .
“Looking at the sword handle, this beautiful embroidery gracefully covers the socket of the gem without a single effort . The body of the sword is also gorgeous; I can feel waves of chill without even igniting the magic effect .
As Lord Jude was admiring this sword as he explained, the elves downstage was getting a bit irritated . There were countless rumors in regards to Master Abel’s work; no one had time to hear him list out all of them .
“Let the auction begin!”
“Stop wasting time, Lord Jude!”
“Can you wait a bit? I’m calling my servant to bring in the gold coins!”
A sudden uproar arose in the hall, and Lord Jude realized he could no longer keep enjoying himself . He put down his magic sword in disappointment . If he wasn’t the auctioneer, he would definitely bid this sword until he could take it home .
“Master Abel’s Ice Magic Sword . The floor price is 50,000 gold coins!” Lord Jude knew the early price of Master Abel’s weapon in the human world, so he chose it as the floor price .
“80,000 gold coins!”
The first bit had already exceeded the price of Prince Adolf’s Master Leon’s magic sword . By this point, even though there was still a smile on Prince Adolf’s face, his eyes had grown cold .
“Ninety thousand!”
“Hundred thousand!”
… . .
As the price shot straight up, Abel realized his magic sword had already reached 150,000 gold coins . This had totally exceeded the actual price of the sword . This price was enough to buy an entire set of equipment from him .
Abel did not think his magic weapons would become a type of hunger marketing . Although it wasn’t his intention, even since the human wizards started going after him, the value of his magic weapons shot up like nothing else .
Normally, there were a few factors when it came to defying the value of a magic weapon . One was the effect of use . After countless battles, the user realized Abel’s magic weapon was much better than the other ones .
The second was the quantity . There was wasting many magic weapons by Abel in the first place anyway . Especially after he entered the magic tower, and now that he left the human world . Every one of Abel’s pieces was extremely rare .
The third was the name . As the most potential Grand Master Blacksmith in the entire Holy Continent, the youngest Blacksmith, as well as a wizard, his name was well known within every household . Especially after whipping out an entire Duchy’s magic tower to revenge his family, he had also become the legendary Master .
All of these had made humans, elves, and even dwarves, go crazy for his weapons, and the price today just reflected that .
In the end, this Ice Magic sword was obtained by a rarely seen buff build elf . He took the sword from Lord Jude and excitedly waved it a few times . He then tested out the ice magic by lightly tapping the sword on a table . All of a sudden, a wave of chill filled the atmosphere .
“This really is a fabulous sword!” said that buff elf with a laugh as he put the sword away .
Prince Adolf had lost the first round of the auction . Although most of the elves there were youngsters and didn’t know the hidden tension between the 2 cities, the ones who were slightly in the known had already deducted some points from Prince Adolf in their hearts .
“The third auction piece was provided by Prince Adolf . It is a longbow made by the elven bow making master, Master Amabel!” Lord Jude called as he waved his hand towards a servant to place the bow on the table .
The elves had a long history of using the bow . It was a favorite weapon among elves, and most of them were quite good at using it .
“Prince Adolf had really gone too far!” Derek whispered in anger again .
“Is the 4th piece sent by the Grand Ducal Palace also a bow?” Abel asked gently .
“Yes Lord Bennett, it is also a bow made by Master Amabel . However, the one he has is a short bow,” Said Derek helplessly . He was the one who sent the pieces for auction, but he never expected Prince Adolf to target their pieces by putting out one that was a level above .
Of course, Abel knew that a Longbow was superior to a short bow in bow distance and power . Therefore to those bow loving elves, of course, they would prefer a longbow .
By that point, Lady Carrie looked upon Abel again, but Abel pretended like he didn’t see her and looked towards another direction .
Of course, Abel had bows that were far superior to the ones made by that so-called bow making master . But, the technique in his bow was way too futuristic . There’s no way he would take it out for auction, so he could only send Lady Carrie this message by ignoring her .
At this end, this bow made by bow making Master Amabel was sold for 30,000 gold coins . This bow wasn’t a magic weapon, it was just a longbow made by some master . Therefore, all of this just showed how much elves loved bows .
The next auction piece was a short bow also by Master Amabel, so you can just imagine why those elves downstage would be less interested . Now, some of the smarter ones realized why Lady Carrie would change a weapon in the first round .
There was no way anyone would put out fake bidding in this kind of auction . All the elves downstage were the young elites of both cities . Therefore if either Prince Adolf or Lady Carrie had done something like this, they would lose even more face than losing this little auction .
