Perhaps it was because the True Everlasting Country's bid of 16 million was too shocking, as no one followed behind her to bid for it within a few dozen seconds. Hence, this set of rare sword-level keepsake was bought by the True Everlasting Country at the price of 16 million.
"I've made a profit!"
After receiving the set of keepsakes sent to the room by the service lady, Chang Ruo beamed with joy. She giggled foolishly as she explained to Guhan, "If the price had risen step by step like normal, the people who bid would've gotten hot-blooded. This set of keepsakes would've sold for at least 18 million.
Now that I've bid 16 million in one go, they've all been frightened and don't dare to compete with me anymore. These are all little tricks of the auction house. Mr. Military Governor, if you see anything that catches your eye, just tell Chang Ruo and I'll help you get it. "
Guhan nodded. This Chang Ruo was indeed the daughter of the auction house's owner. She was very familiar with the ways of the auction house.
Thinking about it carefully, when the other items were being auctioned, the auctioneers had waited for a minute or so before finalizing the final price.
However, not even 20 seconds after Chang Ruo had called out the price, the auctioneer had hammered the final price. Presumably, the auctioneer knew that his family's young miss had taken a fancy to this item, so he had secretly helped her. However, in this way, the child who had taken the item out to auction had suffered. He had earned at least 2 million!
"I've taken a fancy to the secret manual of the Heavenly Sword. Chang Ruo, can you help me take a look at it later?"
Since he had such an experienced auctioneer by his side, there was no reason for Guhan not to ask for help. Guhan immediately told Chang Ruo what he wanted to buy.
In response, Chang Ruo patted her small, barely moving chest and promised Guhan that she would use the best price to help Guhan win the Heavenly Sword keepsakes.
… …
In the entire auction, the second item that caught Guhan's attention was a sword tassel … The appearance of this item immediately caused the auction house to reach a climax. Many of the private rooms that had been silent as if no one was present began to shout out their bids. The price of this piece of equipment called the Flowing Cloud Sword Tassel was raised to a high price of 12,000,000 Gold Coins. In the end, it was bought by a mysterious player.
Sword tassels were extremely rare items, be it in the game or in reality.
Because the sword tassels were created by no one, all sword tassels were born naturally, just like the Natural Sword Ladies.
Once a Sword Maiden wore a Sword Tassel, it would greatly increase her strength. It was similar to equipment in traditional games.
However, the difficulty of obtaining a Swordmistress equipment like the Sword Tassel was billions of times greater than normal in-game equipment.
To give a simple example, there were less than 60 sword tassels in human records … Among hundreds of thousands of sword bearers, there were less than 60 sword tassels, and at least half of them had been lost along with their owners in various battles.
Sword tassels weren't like Swordmistresses. After the sword bearer died, they would automatically fly back to the Sword Pavilion and wait for their next owner.
After the owner of the Sword Tassel died, the Sword Tassel would either be lost in battle, completely lost, or taken away by Yuan Kou for his collection.
In short, Sword Tassels were extremely rare, extremely, extremely rare.
Along with the Sword Tassel, the Sword Maiden's equipment included the Sword Guard, the Sword Hilt, the Sword Pommel, and the Sword Reins. The last four pieces of equipment were the same as the Sword Tassel. They were all extremely rare items. Perhaps only Jiandi had the ability to have his Sword Maiden equip these five pieces of equipment.
First, the Flowing Cloud Sword Tassel. The so-called Sword Tassel was a small string of tassels tied to the hilt of the sword. The string of red tassels on the hilt of the sword in TV was the Sword Tassel.
In the actual process of using a sword, the Sword Tassel didn't have any practical use. It was only there to look good.
However, on the Sword Maiden, it had a very miraculous effect.
For example, this Flowing Cloud Sword Tassel could give the Sword Maiden the ability to fly after wearing it … Was this ability awesome?
To say that it wasn't awesome was simply too awesome. Generally speaking, the Sword Maidens below the Spirit Sword Realm didn't have the ability to fly. Even among the Sword Maidens of the Spirit Sword Realm, only about half of them could fly.
After having the ability to fly, the Sword Maiden could attack Yuan Kou from the air. When dealing with Yuan Kou who didn't have the ability to fight in the air, it would be a non-destructive output.
At the same time, when facing some Yuan Kou who had the ability to fly, it could erase the disadvantage between the two sides.
For example, when Qingpin fought with the little demon beast, didn't the little demon beast rely on its ability to fly and desperately abuse Qingpin?
If Qingpin also had a Flowing Cloud Sword Tassel on him, a little demon wouldn't even be worth mentioning.
To say that it was awesome wasn't too awesome. This was because after the Spirit Sword, the Sword Maidens all had their own ability to fight in the air. The Flowing Cloud Sword Tassel was useless.
All in all, for the sword bearers below the Spirit Sword Realm, the Sword Tassel was indeed a very important piece of equipment. It could greatly increase the strength of the sword bearer and the Sword Maiden. In some appropriate situations, it had the miraculous effect of reversing the situation.
Therefore, for the sake of a small Sword Tassel, the Sword Tassel was a very important piece of equipment. It could greatly increase the strength of the sword bearer and the Sword Maiden. In some appropriate situations, it had the miraculous effect of reversing the situation.
During the bidding process, even King Yue, who had not said a word, suddenly said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I really want a Sword Tassel!"
Even the King Yue Sword in Guhan's hand couldn't help but repeat this sentence in Guhan's head. It was like a devil's voice, trying to make Guhan join the battle and seize the Sword Tassel that every Sword Maiden couldn't resist.
Just like how women couldn't resist all kinds of jewelry and cosmetics, Sword Maidens couldn't resist the temptation of equipment. For a piece of equipment, Sword Maidens could even fight like ordinary girls … The men below the stage desperately raising their hands to bid for the Sword Tassel were mostly forced by their own Sword Maidens …
"Stingy, smelly Military Governor …" Seeing that the Sword Tassel was finally bought, King Yue angrily roared in Guhan's head before becoming silent again.
"It's finally quiet!"
Gu Han rubbed his head. From now on, he had to pay full attention to every single minute, because the next item to be auctioned was the secret manual of the Heavenly Sword that Gu Han had to get his hands on.
… …
"Esteemed guests, the next item is our second most precious auction item. It came from a mysterious friend.
It took his ancestor a hundred years to collect this precious token.
Unfortunately, this friend has encountered some problems, so he had to take out these treasures. "
"I think everyone knows what this is. That's right, it's the keepsake of the incomparably powerful Super Sword Lady Heavenly Sword that we've announced in the advertisement! It's ranked first in the Treasured Sword Record!"
"But what everyone doesn't know is that this time, there are a total of eight of these tokens!" The host's words instantly caused the entire auction hall to fall silent.
They indeed knew that the Heavenly Sword token would be sold in this auction. However, aside from Guhan, none of them had specially come to this auction for the Heavenly Sword token.
That was because the token of the Heavenly Sword was too difficult to collect. It was so difficult that it made one's hair stand on end. The fact that the auctioneer's ancestor had managed to collect eight tokens in a hundred years was already an inconceivable feat. His clan must have once been incomparably illustrious and powerful. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to collect eight tokens of the Heavenly Sword.
When the auction had begun, the guests who had come to participate in the auction were extremely puzzled and confused when they found out that the token of the Heavenly Sword would be the second last item to be auctioned. Why would a mere treasure sword token be auctioned after a spirit sword token?
Now, they understood that there were eight pieces of the Heaven-reliant Sword's keepsakes. As long as they could find two more pieces, then obtaining the number one treasured sword, the Sword Maiden Heaven-reliant Sword, would no longer be a fantasy.
Even if the buyer could not synchronize with Heaven-reliant Sword and successfully sell the tokens after gathering ten of them, they would still be able to make a profit without any losses. The price of selling a set of tokens together would definitely be several times higher than if they were sold in ten separate batches.
"Esteemed guests, are you ready?
The auction for the eight tokens of the Heavenly Sword is about to begin … "The auctioneer had only spoken halfway when he was forcefully interrupted by someone.
"Wait!"
This was a distinguished guest from a top-class box. His voice was incomparably dignified, and he was definitely a person of high status.
"This auction must be suspended for a while. We didn't know that there were eight tokens of the Heavenly Sword, so we need time to allocate our funds.
This auction must be suspended for five minutes. Otherwise, your Great Windmill Auction House will be kicked out of Yuzhang City! "
This person's tone was completely indisputable. It seemed as if he could really do the tyrannical act of driving the Great Windmill Auction House out of Yuzhang City.
"Damn it … The Sect Leader of the Yuzhang Sword Sect has such a disgusting tone …" Upon hearing this, the True Everlasting Kingdom kicked the sofa in annoyance. "Isn't it just the third strongest sword sect in the world … What's so great about it …"
Although he kept cursing, the True Everlasting Kingdom knew that there was no way he could refuse such a forceful request from the Yuzhang Sword Sect. It was impossible for them to fall out with the overlord of Yuzhang City, the Yuzhang Sword Sect.
Moreover, the behavior of the Yuzhang Sword Sect was not unreasonable. After all, they had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said that there were eight tokens of the Heavenly Sword. Big Pinwheel was in the wrong for saying that it was an ominous sign.
Moreover, giving them time to raise funds was also a good thing for the Great Windmill Auction House. The more funds they raised, the higher the price they could sell it for, and the more they would earn. There was no reason for them to refuse!
"Oh, right!"
Chang Ruo suddenly remembered that Guhan had mentioned that his goal was the secret manual of the Heavenly Sword. He must be very excited right now!
She hurriedly turned her head and saw that Guhan's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about this news at all.
"Mr. Military Governor is indeed a hero among men!"
Chang Ruo thought in admiration. At the same time, Chang Ruo was also very confused. It was only now that she knew that there were eight tokens of the Heavenly Sword. Before this, she was the same as Guhan, thinking that there was only one … Chang Ruo was the young lady of the Great Windmill Auction House, and she only knew about it at the last minute. This was a little too strange.
