Vol 8 Chapter 677: Houdini in action

At a time when the news of the "mysterious mage kicking the 'road of glory'" gradually spread to Du Ruier City, Houdini has sold the "canned" shipped from Roddy's trip with great efficiency at the dock. ".
Although the technical content of this thing is not high, it is estimated that it won't be long before someone can understand the principle. However, currently in Raciman, this technology that can prevent corrosion for a long time is unique. You have to know that not all ships have the frozen formation of the "Poratini". At present, the entire port is counted. Ninety-nine percent of them are ordinary ships. The fishermen and crew go out to sea to eat with Merinthella. What I said at the beginning ...
Hard stone-like biscuits, maggot-bread, these people living on the ground floor do not even have clean drinking water at sea, because the water in wooden barrels will soon turn green and emit a rancid smell, so They can only carry that weird ale with perennial taste.
Ordinary outbound fishing boats range from three days to ten days, and ships sailing in the open sea can often be replenished once a month or two. It is not uncommon for crew members without fruits and vegetables to suffer from septicemia. If there are long-term storage on the market, Technology, that's absolutely good news for them!
Houdini, of course, knows this better than anyone. Because of this, he specifically chose to build anything on the wharf with a chaotic management of stalls near vessels preparing for offshore fishing. Moreover, Houdini had no plans. For a long-term sale, he just branded the cans with "Made in the Karen Kingdom" magically on the cans according to Roddy's arrangement, and found a banner with the characteristics and price of the cans, and then hired several The guy sells it.
The sailors in charge of the purchase were attracted by banners and yelling. They questioned for a long time and saw that these cans were exquisitely packaged at low prices. Whether they could be preserved or not, the price was enough to buy fruits and meat of the same weight. They quickly made a purchasing decision.
A total of nearly a hundred cans, sold out within a few hours, Houdini deliberately controlled the number, so that the sales scope spread as far as possible to the ships at all levels, and then collected. Anyway, this thing is still not good, everything must wait for the return of these fishing boats before spreading word of mouth.
Houdini, busy in the afternoon, did not feel tired. He took a bath, took a wooden box after dinner, called a carriage and went straight to the "Balafal in the centre of Durrell. Neighborhood. "
This neighbourhood can be said to be a "holy place" where Master Rashiman must visit once. It is only four hundred meters in length. It is located in front of the "Colummir" magic tower, standing in the middle of the street and looking north, you can directly see the main entrance of the huge "Colummir" magic tower. There are the most comprehensive suppliers of all kinds of magic materials in the country, and the quality is guaranteed to be the best.
Outside of most magic towers, there will be a more complete magic props and supplies store, just like the "crown of ice" Crohn's magic tower. There are only three magic stores outside, and the materials sold overlap each other. However, in the "Balafal District", you can see "special shops" that sell scroll materials, raw materials, French stone, various magic crystals, and other categories.
The things here are not cheap, so the mage who has a poor family background can only experience eye addiction. There is no upper limit to saying "expensive", because many of them are priceless orphans and the most precious ones, and most of them will be regularly auctioned in the beautifully decorated "Nogforge Auction House" in the middle of the street.
Houdini's destination was here. He stepped out of the carriage and walked directly into the auction house holding the box. Because of the "magister" emblem on his chest, the guard at the door was not blocked. The attendant, Kris, was an exquisite beauty. Not only was she in good shape and temperament, but she was also able to call Rashiman's magic teacher one by one.
The "Nogforge Auction House" has a lot of details, so even if she knows that Houdini's recent reputation is not good, she is not as bad as the contributors of the "Dark Blue" periodical, but everything is as usual and cheerful. Entered the VIP room on the first floor.
"Two things, it's best to auction them in the near future."
Houdini didn't make any nonsense, just opened the box in her hand and Kris only looked at it, and respectfully said: "This ... Mister Houdini will wait a moment, I will invite Master Broy to come with you Discuss in person, and I hope you move upstairs. "
The inside of the auction house is also divided into three, six, and nine. The more the four floors are, the more valuable they become. Houdini just lights up the contents of the lower box and is invited to the second floor. He knows that this is because of the things he wants to auction. There is an eight kilogram "cobalt gold mine".
The "cobalt gold mine" is a strategic resource in Rashiman, in other words, something controlled by the state, which is basically unavailable on the market. And once someone buys or sells privately, it often attracts the attention of the "law enforcement team" because the parliament needs to confirm the origin and use of this thing and strictly control the identity of its buyer.
So auctions are not impossible, but this thing involves a lot, and it can easily cause trouble. Strictly speaking, the "Nogforge Auction House" is basically the only place where Rahman is eligible to auction the "cobalt gold mine", so the latter thing will be quickly received by a supervisor and familiar with Houdini Filled out a long and detailed form.
However, when he saw what Houdini subsequently filled in, he still couldn't help but asked out loud: "Are you sure you want to auction anonymously? 'Cobalt gold mine' If you want to auction anonymously, you should have heard of ... ' The Nogforge auction house 'will charge an additional 20% as a handling fee. "
The original handling fee was 10%. In the case of ordinary item auctions, "anonymous auctions" usually do not require additional costs, but "cobalt gold mines" are definitely an exception. This is similar to those in modern society who go to auction houses to sell tactical nuclear bombs. There are several people. Dare to take it?
"Anyway."
Houdini cherishes words like gold. He didn't care how much it cost. The purpose of the auction is not to make money. The 8 kg cobalt gold mine is indeed a big news in Rasiman, but compared with the one ton of cobalt gold mine left in the backyard, Houdini has full confidence in telling them what is too young and naive. .
After completing a series of procedures, Director Broy planned to send Houdini to the door to leave. Who knew he stood up, but did not see Houdini get up. The wizard calmly took out the other four charged magic crystals in the box: "This is the second item I hope to auction."
"Uh ... Mr. Houdini,‘ Nogg Fogg ’s auction house ’also sells magic crystals, but at the same time, it ’s a high-end product of‘ flawless ’quality, you ...

Director Broy glanced at the small-sized energized spar and continued: "If this is a medium-level magic crystal, we can contact you for other auction houses to perform the auction. What do you think?"
He naturally wouldn't say a word of refusal, there are 8 kg of cobalt gold mine in front, who knows if Houdini will come up with any good things in the future? So Director Broy was going to sell his face, and ran a leg to solve it himself.
"Is there a spar analyzer?"
Houdini ignored his suggestion and instead asked such a sentence. The latter hesitated, and immediately took off a metal instrument inlaid with a magic array from a nearby shelf. This is an instrument used by Master Rashiman to determine the properties of magic crystals. After activation, the tested magic crystals will be in the " The "display board" presents a unique pattern, and the wizards use the pattern to classify the magic crystal. If you want to find an approximate magic crystal, try to pick the one with the closest pattern.
But like magic snowflake, the two identical pieces will never appear, which is the consensus of all mages.
Houdini was familiar with the instrument, and soon started the detection of the first spar, and printed it magically with a piece of paper that he carried with him. Director Broy didn't understand why he did it, just watched strangely as he picked up the remaining pieces of spar and repeated the previous operation.
"Master Houdini, you are ..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Houdini holding the four sheets of paper just printed together, and then used a "lighting" technique to photograph them thoroughly from below.
The four patterns that were indistinguishable and overlapping made all of Broy's words stop abruptly. He opened his mouth wide and stunned for ten seconds before he returned.
"Master Houdini, please go upstairs and take a step to speak."
This time, Houdini was directly invited to the highest level of the "Nogforge Auction House", and the conversation after the executive director of the auction house was conducted under the confidentiality of the French law. Houdini signed and signed quietly. As soon as the agreement was reached, "Anonymous auction ~ EbookFREE.me ~" was left. When Houdini left, he did not leave from the main entrance, but walked along a dedicated lane in the auction house to a nearby tavern, and from A closed carriage was mounted on the stables of the tavern, and after a low-key round, he returned to the residence.
From this point of view, the "Nogforge Auction House" can stand in front of the Corummere Magic Tower, and it is not a bad name.
Those who can sign the auction agreement on the top floor of this auction house, I am afraid that the entire Rashiman can't pick a hundred people. But Houdini now has no sense of honor or excitement. I do not know when he has completely escaped from the previous way of thinking, and now there is a kind of ease and calmness "not in the game".
The dilapidated courtyard was not cleaned, and he was not interested in managing it. After the routine meditation, Houdini fell asleep without any thoughts and fell asleep.
The next day. Waking up, washing, and going out to eat breakfast in the canteen of the college students, ignoring the despised eyes of the teachers and students, Houdini hired a carriage and two porters, and began to visit one by one in the city of Du Ruier Inside several "magic grocery stores".
This time, he pulled on the "paper" produced by Everta.
