Chapter 25 Truly Valuable Works of Art

"No need." Kaios withdrew his gaze, "My painting is the number one auctioned."

"The third one in the art category." Xiao Zhuo'an said.

"Well, let's go, the auction is about to start."

The auction will be arranged in the main hall of the theater. Apart from the original high-level VIP boxes, there will be three rows vertically and two main aisles in the horizontal direction. There will be three semi-enclosed temporary boxes in each row, only facing the direction of the stage. There is an opening, and the other back, top, left and right are closed.

In this way, it can basically be guaranteed that the nobles who come to participate in the auction can only see each other with the auctioneer on the stage in their respective boxes, and will not see other nobles, nor will they be seen by other nobles.

Keos was naturally not qualified to sit in those high VIP boxes, but his and Xiao Zhuoan's seats were also good, they were relatively rear and naturally relatively high.

From this position, you can see the overall situation relatively. Although you can’t see the people in the boxes below, you can use the gestures and eyes of the auctioneer to guess which box the bidder is in, which can be more helpful in judging the situation.

The first batch of lots is equipment items. The first piece is a magic robe, which has certain characteristics of tear resistance, anti-spirit wave, and fire-proof magic. It is also made by a top fashion designer, so the starting price is 1200. , the last 3600 transactions.

According to Xiao Zhuoan, at least 3600 of the 3300 is the name of the designer who bought it. The real performance of the robe can only be rated as excellent, and even 300 is barely enough.

When Keos came here this time, besides "seeing the world", knowing how nobles socialize, and seeing how many magic coupons the paintings he brought can be bought, he actually brought a lot of money himself, and wanted to take some pictures of.

When the fourth lot was auctioned, Kaios raised his placard.

"Black Gold Sacred Armor": A pair of full-body armor with extremely strong aura resistance, magic resistance and physical defense capabilities. The equipment rating is excellent, without a helmet.

This set of armor is not from a well-known designer, and the overall performance is excellent armor. It was not eligible for this level of auction, but its material is "Pillar Black Gold", which is very rare. This material is more expensive than most Under the condition of the same physical defense, the weight of metal is much lighter, and there are not many weaknesses except that it is inferior to some top-grade materials for enchanting.

The starting price was 700 coupons, but Kaios only slowly followed up to 860 coupons and successfully won it.

The equipment ratings of the Holy Blessed Alliance are qualified, excellent, excellent, rare, and perfect.

As long as there is a strong functional enchanted equipment, it can be evaluated as a qualified standard, but the qualified standard enchanted equipment used by contract servants is mostly weapons.

As for the armor, most auras guarding manors or residences use non-enchanted light or heavy armor.

Only in places like the northern or western borders where there are pioneering missions and where they have to go to the battlefield, the aura warriors of the guard level will use qualified or even excellent level armor, and the level of weapons used will be much higher.

The three people brought out by Kaios this time are all auras, but only Lu Hao's armor is a qualified level of enchanted armor, and Harvey and Salvela are wearing ordinary armor without enchantment——Kaios After learning about it, he also asked Salveira to wear the qualified-level enchanted armor, but seeing Salveira usually wearing the heavy armor guard, he regretted it and asked her to change it back.

Above the perfect level, there are also certified equipment, and more non-standard ratings that exist in legends—artifacts.

There is no need to say much about artifacts, and few have actually seen them. "Certified level" refers to the perfect level of equipment certified by the Holy Blessing Palace. The Holy Blessing Palace will add enchantment marks on it. If two or more pieces of "certified level" equipment are used at the same time, the "Holy Blessing Effect" will be triggered. ", which can bring blessings or special attacks.

Rare and perfect level equipment are mostly rare and unobtainable.Those that can be made from "stacking materials" and are commonly found in the circulation market are basically three grades: qualified, excellent, and excellent.

In auctions or other high-end distribution channels, the price of magician equipment, such as magic robes, is generally higher than that of auras of the same level.

Like the robes sold at 3600 just now, the rating is actually excellent, but many nobles usually like to wear robes, so robes made by famous designers often become luxury goods sought after by nobles.

Among the equipment of a spiritual warrior, weapons are also more expensive than defensive equipment such as armor and shields.

This "Black Gold Sacred Armor" was able to be included in this auction. In fact, the auctioneer also wanted to rely on its rare material and lightweight features to sell it to nobles to wear and play, so as to drive up the price.

Afterwards, Keos made a few more shots, buying some equipment with relatively high cost performance. Of course, compared to this auction, the market price must be on the high side, but there is no stable market for these equipment. , It’s not something you can buy right away when you want to buy it.

After the equipment item auction is completed, it comes to the artwork item.

The first item to be auctioned is a half-person-high wooden sculpture of a naked woman taking a bath in a bathtub.

Without any enchantment, without any special function, it is a pure work of art, but it was made by Jonathan Fermont, the master woodcarver and Earl of Double Leaf, so the starting price is 8000.

You know, the highest transaction price for the entire equipment category just now was only 6800 coupons.

Following the asking prices one by one, the final transaction price of this wood carving was 23000 coupons.

Just this one woodcarving is equivalent to 6-8 times the annual profit of a relatively large-scale and relatively profitable factory!
Next is another stringed instrument that looks a bit like a lute, also made by a master, and the "master" is still a marquis.

What surprised Keos was that when introducing this musical instrument, a huge moving picture appeared behind the stage, and there was even a corresponding sound. like a movie.

Of course, the resolution was far from being comparable to the movie screens of Kaios' previous life, but it was enough to shock him.

What is the level of magical technology in this world?
In the end, the transaction price of this beautiful-looking musical instrument reached 32000 coupons.

The third item in the artwork category is the painting of Kaios, with a starting price of 8000.

Because of the rules of the auction, Kaios couldn't bid on his own items—of course, this was just a gentleman's rule. If he really wanted to raise the price of his own things, he could arrange for others to help, but he naturally wouldn't do so.

But what surprised him was that the bidding frequency of his painting was much higher than the sum of the previous two art auctions. Although the final transaction price was 14300, which was lower than the previous two auctions, the competition was fiercer many.

Xiao Zhuoan whispered to him next to him: "The first two lots sold high, mainly because the maker's title bonus is high. This one from Kaios is all the real value. Squeeze out the water. They're worth a lot more."

Kaios smiled and said nothing. If he really had to judge by his value system, his painting shouldn't be sold at such a high price.

Of course, he was very happy to be able to fetch such a high price, and he could continue to spend freely with a large amount of money.Although you have to pay a 10% transaction fee, the rest is still a lot.

The next fourth and fifth lots are also paintings by famous artists.

Of course, Kaios would not bid, but when he saw the fifth painting, he had the same feeling as when he saw the pile of "red paintings" in the original main studio—perceiving emotions and being there.

The painting is a stretch of mountains and rivers seen from a high place. After he saw it, he felt a strong sense of carelessness and heroism. He even had the feeling that the roof of the auction house flew off, and everyone around him was gone. He was the only one. a feeling of.

what's the situation?
Could it be that the main reason for the various emotions he sensed in the studio was not the original owner's painting, but his own abilities?That ability that can sense other people's emotional changes?

In the next auction, there were several items in the art catalog that made Kaios feel emotions, and not only the paintings, but even a gorgeous dress full of ornaments, he could feel it—the creator was creating it when he created it. , not joy, but sadness, depression.

Moreover, Keos found that his works with strong emotional perception generally had more intense bids, which were obviously those "truly valuable works of art" in Xiao Zhuo'an's mouth.

When Kaios was thinking about whether to take a cheaper, emotionally sensitive work and come back to study it, the auction of the art object was over.

Next, is the auction of potential contract servants.
