"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce Lady Carrie's auction item." Lord Jude picked up the sword and continued, "This is a human Knight's sword!"
As soon as Lord Jude finished his words, the elves began to discuss among themselves. They didn't expect Lady Carrie to auction a human Knight's sword. The weight of a human Knight's sword wasn't suitable for ordinary elves. Only a few elves with great strength could use it.
Prince Adolf knew it wasn't that simple. Lady Carrie wasn't stupid. How could she auction off a human Knight's sword that wasn't even as good as Master Leon's earlier work? Originally, he wanted to use this small auction to attack Lady Carrie in front of the young elites of the 2 cities and show off Begro City's power.
Due to his family background, Lord Jude had a strong understanding of all kinds of weapons, equipment, and materials. His ability was not inferior to the appraisers of the big auction house. Therefore, although the sword in his hand was a temporary addition to the auction, he was very confident that he would be able to quickly identify its origin.
"Look at the pattern on this sword. This is a magic sword. From the surface of the sword, this is also an ice magic sword. There aren't many Blacksmith Masters who can make ice magic swords. Every Blacksmith Master has their own unique mark, which is usually placed on the sword hilt." Lord Jude explained as he placed the sword hilt in front of his eyes.
"Strange, this ice magic sword doesn't have any mark on it. Which Master made this?" Lord Jude was a little dumbfounded after looking at the sword hilt. He couldn't help but look at Lady Carrie for help. This ice magic sword was provided by Lady Carrie, so she must know its origin.
"After eliminating all the possible Masters, we still don't know the result?" Lady Carrie's cold voice sounded.
"My God, this is Master Abel's work!" Lord Jude's eyes lit up, and he took a closer look at the ice magic sword again. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Perfect craftsmanship, especially when I first held it in my hand. It's obviously heavier than a normal Knight's sword. I didn't notice it at first, but I guess this is Master Abel's magic sword of over a hundred skills."
When they heard that the weapon being auctioned was Master Abel's work, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively. Master Abel was known as the blacksmith master closest to the grandmaster level, and this saying was recognized by the dwarven blacksmiths. Moreover, Master Abel's work was extremely rare on the market, and every single one of them was sold at a sky-high price. Furthermore, those who were able to buy Master Abel's work would immediately collect it after buying it. Therefore, the market had only heard of it but never heard of it.
"Look at the hilt of the sword. The beautiful pattern inadvertently protects the groove where the magic gem is inlaid. It also adds to the overall beauty of the sword. Look at the body of the sword. Even if the magic effect is not activated, you can still feel the coldness of the sword."
While Lord Jude was admiring and explaining, the elves below began to get impatient. There were more rumors about Master Abel's magic weapon than what Lord Jude had said, so there was no need for him to explain it here.
"Let's start the auction!"
"Don't waste any more time, Lord Jude!"
"Can we start the auction later? I'll ask the waiter to send the gold coins right away! "
Suddenly, the hall was filled with noise. Lord Jude also realized that he couldn't continue admiring the sword any longer. He put down the ice magic sword in his hand regretfully. If he wasn't the auctioneer, he would've bought this sword back today no matter what.
"Master Abel's ice magic sword, the starting price is 50,000 gold coins!" Lord Jude knew that Master Abel's magic weapons were the earliest to be priced among humans, so he set this as the starting price.
"80,000 gold coins!"
The first bid had already exceeded the final price of Master Leon's magic sword sent by Prince Adolf. Although Prince Adolf still had a smile on his face as usual, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"90,000!"
"95,000!"
"100,000 gold coins!"
… …
The price continued to soar, and Abel realized that after the price exceeded 150,000 gold coins, it had already far exceeded the actual price. 150,000 gold coins was enough to buy a full set of magic equipment, and this was only the price of a magic weapon.
However, Abel didn't expect his magic weapons to become a marketing tool. Although he didn't do it on his own initiative, his magic weapons had become the fastest rising equipment ever since he was hunted down by the Wizard Union.
The value of a piece of equipment was usually determined by a few aspects. One was the effect. After many battles, the users realized that the magic weapons made by Abel were completely superior to other magic weapons. This was the effect that exceeded the normal usage.
The second was the production rate. He didn't have a lot of magic weapons to begin with, but ever since he entered the magic tower, the supply of magic weapons had been reduced. After that, he was forced to leave the human world, so every magic weapon he made was very rare.
Third was the fame. Abel was known as the youngest blacksmith master in the Holy Continent, and he was the closest to becoming a grandmaster blacksmith. He was also a wizard, which made him famous. On top of that, he blew up all the wizards and magic towers in the Duchy of Keyen when his family was attacked. This made him the most legendary blacksmith master.
All of these made his magic weapons highly sought after by humans, elves, and even dwarves. Therefore, the price today was very reasonable.
In the end, this ice magic sword was obtained by an elf with a strong body. He took the ice magic sword from Lord Jude and waved it twice in excitement. He then tried to touch the ice magic sword on the table, and a cold feeling instantly spread from the sword to the surroundings.
"It is indeed a good sword!" This strong elf laughed and put away the sword.
In the first round of the auction, Prince Adolf had lost. Although most of the elves present were young, and they didn't know about the competition between the two cities, there were still a lot of elven nobles who knew a little about the inside story, and they had already taken a point off Prince Adolf in their hearts.
Lord Jude waved his hand and signaled the waiter to place the next item on the table, "The third item of the auction is a longbow made by the elven master Amabel, which was provided by Prince Adolf!"
The elves had a tradition of using bows and arrows, so bows were one of their favorite weapons. Most of the elven warriors were powerful archers.
"Prince Adolf is too much!" Derek said angrily in a soft voice again.
"Is the fourth item from the Grand Ducal Palace also a bow?" Abel asked softly.
"Yes, Lord Bennett. It's a short bow made by the elven master Amabel as well!" Derek said helplessly. He was the one who sent the items, but he didn't expect Prince Adolphus to do something like this. He raised every item one of the Grand Ducal Palace's items by one level.
Of course, Abel knew that there was a difference between a longbow and a short bow in terms of power and distance. Therefore, for the elves who used bows and arrows, a longbow was more suitable.
At that moment, Lady Carrie looked towards Abel again, but Abel turned his head to the other side and ignored Lady Carrie's gaze.
Although Abel had a bow that was much more powerful than a Master Amabel's bow, the technology in it was too advanced. It was destined not to be put up for auction. Therefore, he had no choice but to tell Lady Carrie this way.
In the end, the longbow made by the Elven Bow Master Amabel was sold for a high price of 30,000 gold coins. It wasn't a magical weapon, it was just a longbow made by a Bow Master. One could imagine how much the Elves loved bows and arrows.
The next item was a short bow made by Master Amabel. You could imagine how shocked the nobles were. Of course, some of them also understood why Lady Carrie changed the item in the first auction.
