Chapter 677 Houdini in action

As the news of "Mysterious Mage Playing the 'Road of Glory'" gradually spread in Duriel City, Houdini has already launched the "cans" of Roddy's trip on the dock with extremely high efficiency.

Although this thing is not technically high, and it is estimated that someone will understand the principle soon if it is really counterfeited, at present, in Lasciman, this technology that can be used for a long time is unique. You should know that not all ships have the frozen array of the "Polatini". At present, 99% of the entire port are ordinary ships. The food that fishermen and crew go out to sea is really similar to what Melinserra said at the beginning...

The hard biscuits are as hard as stones and the bread is full of maggots. These people living at the bottom don’t even have clean drinking water at the sea. Because the water in the barrels will quickly turn green and smell ale, they can only carry that weird-smelling ale all year round.

Ordinary fishing boats go to sea at least three days or ten days, while ships sailing faraway seas often only need to be recharged once a month or two. There are many crew members who do not have fruits and vegetables as food who die in pain due to sepsis. If there are technology that can be stored for a long time on the market, it will definitely be a blessing for them!

Of course, Houdini knew this better than anyone else. Because of this, he chose to set up a stall near the ships preparing for fishing in the sea. It was possible to pay anything on the quay with chaotic management. Besides, Houdini did not intend to sell it for a long time. He just branded the words "Made in Karen Kingdom" on these cans with magic, and found a banner, wrote the characteristics and price of the cans, and then hired a few guys to sell them.

Several sailors in charge of the procurement were attracted by banners and hawking voices, and asked for a long time skeptical that the cans were exquisitely packaged and cheaply. No matter whether they could be really anti-corrosive, it was enough to buy fruits and meat of the same weight at this price, so they quickly made a purchase decision.

There were nearly a hundred cans in total, and they were sold out in just a few hours. Houdini deliberately controlled the quantity and made the sales range spread to all levels of ships, and then closed the stalls and left. Anyway, this thing is not good now, and everything will have to be heard after these fishing boats return.

Houdini was busy until the afternoon and didn't feel tired. He took a shower, took a wooden box after a simple supper, called a carriage, and went straight to the "Balafare District" in the center of Turiel.

This block can be said to be the "holy land" that the entire Rassimman Mage will come to. It is only 400 meters long and is located in front of the "Corenmere" Magic Tower. Standing in the center of the street and looking north, you can directly see the huge "Corenmere" Magic Tower. There are the most comprehensive suppliers of various magic materials in the country, and the quality is guaranteed to be the best.

There is a relatively complete store of magic props and supplies outside most magic towers, just like the magic tower of Crohn, the magic tower outside has only three magic stores, and the materials sold overlap. However, in the "Balaffar District", you can see "special stores" selling scroll materials, puppet raw materials, magic array stones, various magic crystals and other categories.

The things here are not related to "cheap", so the mage with a poor family can only enjoy the pleasure when they come. If you want to say "expensive", there is no upper limit, because many of them are priceless products - and most of them are auctioned regularly at the gorgeously decorated "Norgo Ferguard Auction House" in the middle of the street.

Houdini's destination was here. He walked out of the carriage and walked directly into the auction house with the box in his arms. Because of the "magic" emblem on his chest, the guard at the door did not stop him. The waiter Chris, who came up with him, was a beautiful woman with great figure and temperament. He could also make Lassiman's magicians famous one by one.

"Norgfog Auction House" has a profound background, so even though she knew that Houdini had a bad reputation recently, she did not have the same bad voice as the respondents of the "Deep Blue" journal. Instead, everything was as usual, and she led Houdini into the VIP room on the first floor with a happy look.

"Two things are the best to be auctioned in the near future."

Houdini didn't say anything nonsense, and directly opened the box in his hand - and Chris only glanced at it and said respectfully: "This...Master Houdini is going to wait a moment. I'll invite Lord Broy to discuss with you in person, and I hope you can move upstairs."

The auction house is divided into three or six grades. The higher the four floors, the more noble they become, the more noble they are. Houdini just lit up the things in the box and was invited to the second floor. He knew that this was because there was an eight-kilogram "cobalt gold mine" among the things he was going to auction.

"Cobalt gold mine" is a strategic resource in Lassiman. In other words, it is something controlled by the state and cannot be bought on the market. Once someone buys and sells it privately, it often attracts the attention of the "law enforcement team" - because the parliament needs to confirm the origin and purpose of this thing and strictly control the identity of its buyer.

So auctions are not impossible, but this thing is very involved, and it may easily cause trouble. Strictly speaking, "Norgfog Auction House" is basically the only place where Rassieman is qualified to auction "cobalt gold mines", so the subsequent matters were soon received by a supervisor, and Houdini was asked to fill out a lengthy and detailed form.

However, when he saw what Houdini filled in later, he couldn't help but ask: "You... confirm that you want to auction anonymously? If you want to auction anonymously, you should have heard... 'Norgfog Auction House' will charge 20% more as a handling fee."

The original handling fee was 10%. For ordinary items auctions, "anonymous auction" usually does not require additional fees, but "cobalt gold mines" are definitely an exception - this is similar to the fact that some people go to auction houses to sell tactical nuclear bombs in modern society. How many people dare to take care of it?

"It's okay."

Houdini is so proud of his words. He doesn't care how much he charges. The purpose of the auction is not to make money - 8 kilograms of cobalt gold mine is indeed a big news in Lasciman, but compared with the ton of cobalt gold mine left in the backyard, Houdini is fully confident to tell them what it means to be too young and naive.

After a series of procedures were completed, Superintendent Broy planned to send Houdini to the door, but he stood up but did not see Houdini get up. The mage calmly took out the other four rechargeable magic crystals in the box: "This is the second item I hope to auction."

"Uh... Master Houdini, although the 'Norgfog Auction House' also auctions magic crystals, the lowest is also a high-level product with a 'flawless' quality, you..."

Supervisor Broy glanced at the small-sized charging crystal and continued: "If this kind of mid-level magic crystal, we can contact other auction houses for auction. What do you think?"

Naturally, he would not say anything rejected. With 8 kilograms of cobalt and gold mine in front of him, who knows if Houdini will come up with anything good in the future? So Director Broy is ready to sell his face and run a leg to solve the problem.

“Are there any crystal analyzers?”

Houdini ignored his suggestions and instead asked this question. The latter was stunned and immediately took down a metal instrument with magic arrays from the shelf next to him - this is the instrument used by Master Rasimman to determine the attributes of magic crystals. After activation, the magic crystals being tested will present a unique pattern on the "display board" of the instrument. The mages then sorted the magic crystals through the patterns. If you want to find similar magic crystals, try to choose the one with the most similar patterns.

But the magic crystal is like snowflakes, and there will never be two identical pieces. This is the consensus of all mages.

Houdini was very familiar with the instrument and quickly activated the first crystal to detect it and rubbed it with magic on a piece of paper it carried with you. Supervisor Broy didn't understand why he did this, but just watched him strangely pick up the remaining crystals and repeat the previous operations.

"Master Houdini, you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Houdini stacking the four pieces of paper that had just been rubbed together, and then used a "lighting technique" to illuminate it thoroughly from below.

There was no difference, and the four overlapping patterns made all Broy's words stop suddenly. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned for ten seconds before he came to his senses.

"Master Houdini, please go upstairs and take a step to speak."

This time, Houdini was directly invited to the highest level of "Norgfog Auction House" to face the executive manager of the auction house. The subsequent conversation was held under the confidentiality of the magic circles. Houdini calmly signed another stack of agreements and asked for "anonymous auction" again.

When leaving, Houdini did not leave from the main entrance, but walked along a dedicated secret passage from the auction house to a nearby tavern, and boarded a closed carriage from the stables of the tavern, and then returned to the residence after a low-key circle.

From this point of view, the fact that "Norgfog Auction House" can gain a foothold in front of the Demon Tower of Corumir is definitely not a false reputation.

If he could sign the auction agreement on the top floor of this auction house, Lasciman probably couldn't pick a hundred people. But Houdini didn't feel any honor or excitement at all. From when, he had completely escaped from his previous way of thinking, and now he felt a sense of ease and peace of "not in the game".

The dilapidated courtyard was left uncleaned, and he was not interested in it. After the routine meditation, Houdini went to bed directly, no matter what, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, he got up, washed up, and went out to have breakfast in the cafeteria of the college students. ignoring the contempt of teachers and students, Houdini hired a carriage and two porters, and began to visit several "magic grocery stores" distributed in various colleges in Durell City.
