Chapter 488 - Unofficial Auction (3) (1/2)
Auron's eyes brightened up. This was what he was waiting for. Although the auctioneer never said anything about selling a sword, Auron believed he would auction some sword.
Weapons like sword and dagger were the most sought weapon. Many classes could use it. That was why in almost every auction, there would be one or two swords or daggers sold.
When the auctioneer took out the sword, the auction's participant exclaimed in awe, including Auron. His eyes became more excited.
The reason was that he knew that this sword was not some low-grade weapon. The sword's blade was longer than an ordinary sword. However, it was still could not be categorized as a longsword.
When the auctioneer wave the sword, the sword's blade was thin and flexible. If the blade was long enough, then it could move like a whip.
Although the sword's blade was thin, its endurance was remarkable. When the auctioneer stabbed the sword to the floor, that thin sword's blade pierced through the floor as it was tofu.
When the auctioneer released his grip on the sword, the sword still stood firm, stuck on the ground.
Then, the auctioneer lightly slapped the sword handle. The sword swayed to left and right just as a bamboo got hit by wind. This showed how flexible the sword's blade was.
After these several demonstrations, the auction's participant became more interested in the sword. They quickly shouted to start the auction.
Auron was also eager to participate in the auction. He didn't even think about was his point enough to buy this sword or not.
Seeing the participant's spirit, the auctioneer quickly started the auction, βThe starting price is 1 gold and a minimum of 1 gold for each increase.β
The starting price was low. However, seeing the crowd, the auctioneer was not afraid that the sword would be sold underpriced. Moreover, there was a lot of swordsman among the participants.
And, just like what the auctioneer had thought. As soon as the auction was started, several bids flew on the air. Not only that, but each bid also increased the item's price for 5 gold.
In just less than 1 minute, the item's price had gone up to 100 golds. Auron was astonished to see this. He never thought that these soldiers were so rich that they could spend 100 golds easily.
Auron suddenly felt inferior. He realized that those military points he had would not be enough for him to buy the sword.
In another minute, the sword's price rose to 350 golds. Auron smiled wrily. Using the exchange rate that the auctioneer had said, Auron only had around 750 golds. And, the sword's current price was almost half of the budget he had. Not only that, seeing the participant's hype, it seemed the price would not slow down that quick.
Auron became dejected. Seeing the price was climbing up to 400 golds, he felt that he lost all the hope to get that sword.
When Auron was lost in thought, a voice shouted, β600 golds.β
That voice immediately made the entire place silent. Auron woke up from his thought and saw the owner of the voice. It was the newcomer who won the previous item.
