2215 High Clouds Auction (1)
The Puko Alchemist Guild had a large rest area in the capital city. Shen Yanxiao followed Gege Lu and the others to their accommodation.
As soon as they entered, they saw a dense crowd of dwarves chattering together.
“Ao ao ao, look at my latest chanical puppet. It is super aweso!” A dwarf pointed to the huge chanical puppet behind him and boasted loudly.
“Bringing chanical puppets of such quality, and you still have the cheek to bring them here. Be careful that the president will strangle you to death. Look at mine, a three-star humanoid machine. This is what you call aweso!” Another dwarf patted his humanoid machine smugly.
“I say, don’t show off your useless waste here. Four-star, co and worship!”
Almost every alchemist had a chanical puppet around them. Whether it was a chanical puppet or a humanoid machine, the size of each puppet was different. These alchemists built the size of chanical life according to their preferences. So would even draw beautiful totems or put on beautiful colors on their humanoid machines.
For alchemists, humanoid machines were equivalent to their children, and while dwarves would not be eager to dress up, they would definitely dress up their work carefully.
Here, you could often see a ragged alchemist followed by a golden humanoid machine. When such a contrast was in front of your eyes, the surprise was huge.
“You guys are early,” Gege Lu smiled and said.
“President!” The dwarves, who had been bustling with activity, cald down imdiately after seeing Gege Lu. They greeted him together.
“President, who is this?” A dwarf noticed Shen Yanxiao’s figure.
Since Shen Yanxiao entered the Alchemist Guild, she had been covered with a cloak all day long. Except for her pair of eyes, none of her appearance could be seen at all. Her outfit was quite strange among dwarves.
“This is Momo Xiao, a new mber of our guild. Don’t bully her, or I’ll beat you to death.” Gege Lu pretended to be serious and waved his fist, but in fact, he was joking.
“President, do you think we look like that kind of people?”
“President, you are too paranoid.”
A group of dwarves opened their mouths with a smile.
“President, there’s an auction at the High Clouds Auction House today. Do you want to go and take a look?” A dwarf suddenly said.
“There’s an auction in the High Clouds today?” A trace of expectation imdiately appeared on Gege Lu’s face.
Shen Yanxiao had so doubts. Pipi Ka, who stood next to her, whispered, “High Clouds Auction House is the only auction house in our Storm Continent. Only the best of the best will be auctioned there. Generally speaking, humanoid machines below four stars are not eligible to enter the auction…”
Pipi Ka patiently explained to Shen Yanxiao. Originally, dwarves were accustod to buying things in the bazaar, but so precious things were hard to sell in bazaars because the price was too high. Therefore, the Dwarf King opened an auction house in the capital city, specializing in selling expensive luxury goods. The High Clouds Auction House was only open three tis a year for three days each ti, and so precious items commissioned during the previous period would be put up for sale. Every ti an auction was held, a lot of wealthy dwarves would co to attend. At the High Clouds Auction House, you could see precious things that were not usually seen in a bazaar. If you wanted to broaden your horizons, going there was always the right place.
