Vol 47 Chapter 61: :Auction

At 9 pm, in the lakeside dormitory, Su Xiao's residence.
The lights in the room are bright, and there are various kinds of food on the dining table. Although the richness is not as good as that of the luncheon, it also makes people's appetite increase.
Benny, Green Wei, and Lady Luck were enjoying a delicious supper. To be precise, it was Bai Ni who invited her friend, Lady Luck, to have supper, and Green Wei was eating.
Before, Goddess of Luck and Su Xiao, who was disguised as the Holy Flame Apothecary, were not familiar with each other, so even if she knew that Benny was in the next room, she was not too embarrassed to come, but today I got to know her better, and with Benny's invitation, she came naturally.
Su Xiao didn't enjoy a delicious meal. He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with an ancient book on pharmacy and a cup of tea. It was half the night at first glance.
For any skill that is beyond the reach of others, the process of mastering it must pay the corresponding price, or the cost of resources, or the cost of time, such as Su Xiao's pharmacy, it is not enough to rely on the inheritance of the alchemy secret book alone. Put enough effort into it.
When there was no title bonus in the past, Su Xiao could read an ancient book and a cup of tea for a whole day at a glance, not to mention the title blessing now. Yes, the promotion of the six-star title [Ancient Scholar] has been completed. Advanced is:

...
[Ancient Scholar] After being promoted to the title of Seven Stars, the gain intensity has changed qualitatively. First, the "Scholar" passive. After triggering this passive, Su Xiao felt that when he mastered the knowledge of pharmacy, the efficiency increased more than ten times. Yep, it's that exaggerated.
As for the second passive "Inspiration", this is tailor-made for the interpretation of the alchemy manual. With the depth and mystery of the alchemy manual, Su Xiao can improve a lot of spirit with the title of [Ancient Scholar] every time he interprets it. strength.
What's even more wonderful is that the efficiency of Su Xiao's interpretation of the Alchemy Secret Tome is determined by the strength of his mental power.
The more knowledge imprints you read in a single reading, the passive effect of [Ancient Scholar]'s "inspiration" will bring about a greater permanent increase in mental strength. As a result, a snowball effect is formed, and the interpretation of the alchemy secret book Faster and faster, so that the knowledge level of pharmacy and explosives is getting higher and higher.
In addition to this gain, Su Xiao also discovered that the title of [Ancient Scholar] has a different characteristic.
The initial star rating of the title of [Ancient Scholar] is six stars, and its level can be increased up to three times by conventional smelting, that is to say, the limit of the title of [Ancient Scholar] is nine stars.
After upgrading the title of [Ancient Scholar] to the nine-star title, you can choose one characteristic. From the current attributes of the title of [Ancient Scholar] and the content given in the introduction, there should be two final selection routes for this title.
1. Knowledge intake limit gain.
2. Mystery knowledge acquisition gain.
Of the two branching routes, Su Xiao naturally prefers the first one. No matter how you look at it, the second option reveals the style of the ancient gods and the aura of the evil sect. The introduction to the title of maddened sanity has already hinted at this.
"How do you understand these ancient books? I recognize all the ancient characters on them, but they are too obscure when connected."
The goddess of luck sitting on the opposite sofa opened her mouth and picked up the ancient book on the tea table to read, but the more she looked, the more confused she became.
"Meow."
Bai Ni jumped on Su Xiao's lap with a look of grievance, which meant that after the supper just now, the goddess of luck asked him to play beast chess. In this regard, Bai Ni was very confident. Ha, playing chess, Bernie won nine out of ten, but she lost miserably today.
"Mr. Shengyan, how many games of beast chess shall we play?"
The goddess of luck put the chessboard on the tea table. Seeing this, Su Xiao did not put down the ancient book in his hand.
"I'm not good at board games."
"It's boring to be idle, it's only after nine o'clock in the evening."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak.
"Mr. Holy Flame, do you think you don't have a chance to win or lose? Then we have 10 soul coins per game?"
"Never mind."
"Oh~? Mr. Shengyan, you are not afraid of losing to me, are you?"
The goddess of luck smiled when she spoke. After hearing this, Su Xiao squeezed with one hand and closed the book in her hand.
Two hours later, the goddess of luck bit the nail of her thumb and stared at the chessboard, with the look of 'this is impossible' on her face, she almost wrote it directly, she lost more than 300 souls in a game of beast chess for 10 soul coins. Coins, no wonder she is so suspicious of life.
"Damn, just one step away from winning."
The goddess of luck packed up the chess pieces angrily, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Unfortunately, I can't go to Anna and the others to play chess recently. Hey, why did I offend that guy."
After saying that, the goddess of luck sighed with a look of unrequited love.
"Who did you offend?"
Su Xiao opened his mouth like a chat.
"I..." Goddess of Luck hesitated for a moment, then turned to be discouraged and said: "Actually, I offended an extermination method. You should have heard of him. It is said that he is the only extermination method left."
"Oh? What kind of grievance do you have with that extermination method?"
Hearing this, the goddess of luck on the opposite side was discouraged, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Fundamentally speaking, it's actually my fault, when I discovered the killing method, he was still a new killing method, why should I offend me at that time? He, am I crazy, and why did he get stronger so fast."
Speaking of this, Goddess of Luck was a little crazy, and she continued to talk like: "It's too late to apologize now, I can feel that the killing method is not ready to clean me up to half death, he is eyeing me for other reasons. , it's over, I was targeted by a grown-up destroyer.
"So, you don't have any grudges?"
"Of course not. With the level of revenge that those Exterminators have, if there is a deadly revenge with them, there's a high probability that Exterminators will do nothing, look for me all day, and kill me."
The goddess of luck finally sighed weakly.
"I recognize the killing method, he is one of my old clients, maybe I can mediate from it."
"Really!"
The goddess of luck opposite suddenly became excited.
"Of course."
"If you can help me get through this, I must be very grateful."
There was a bit of joy in the eyes of the goddess of luck, and she didn't know how she would look when she found out the truth.
After Goddess of Luck left and returned to the next room, Su Xiao glanced at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Tomorrow will be the second day of the Austrian Celebration, but the killer reserved at the Ash Bunker has not moved at all, which makes Su Xiao suspect that the killer sent there has been arrested by Austria before he can get close to him. The casters of the Eternal Star have dealt with it.
If this is the case, although it has no effect on the overall plan, after this incident is over, Su Xiao has to go to the Ash Bunker again, and the money is collected there and nothing can be done, so he must give an account.
Su Xiao went back to the bedroom to rest. The next morning came soon. He used the teleportation device to go to the island in the heart of the lake by himself, and began to check whether the various instruments and the solar solution in the underground laboratory were stable.
Su Xiao's move was naturally passed on to Sefilia by the casters who monitored the island in the heart of the lake. In this regard, Sefilia did not give any attitude. Su Xiao was the layout and user of this underground laboratory. , to check the equipment here regularly, naturally, there is no problem.
When the sky was getting dark, the Arcane Eternal Star, which had been lively for another day, recovered a bit of silence. At the same time, Su Xiao's door was knocked.
After opening the door, Su Xiao saw that the three Caesars in disguise were outside the door.
"The auction started on time at eight o'clock, and it's almost seven o'clock now, so let's get in early."
The rat is very interested in this auction, or in other words, this guy is very interested in buying 600,000 soul coins for free.
The group boarded the rail train, and when they arrived at "Liguang Manor", it was almost half past seven.
The entire Liguang Manor, said to be a manor, is actually a complex of buildings. It is divided into four major areas. Su Xiao walked to the back half of Liguang Manor, entered a magnificent building, and passed a long long road. In the corridor, as the servant opened the heavy dark red curtain, Su Xiao arrived at the auction venue.
The entire venue can accommodate more than a hundred people. Although it is very large, the seats are not arranged neatly. This seemingly messy display makes people feel at ease. It is said that it is an auction venue, but it is not a traditional ladder style. Seating, it's more like a banquet hall here.
As for the private room for VIP guests, or VIP seats, Su Xiao didn't see it. As soon as he arrived at the venue, a waiter greeted him and gave him a number plate to represent the table he was at. .
This auction, not everyone can come. The threshold was set high enough, that is, more than 100 people participated. If there are more rules and regulations on top of this, it will inevitably make people feel disgusted.
Su Xiao took a seat not too far from the stage, with Caesar, Toad, and Rat on the side.
Penny first climbed onto Su Xiao's shoulder, and then jumped onto its exclusive special seat, which is on Su Xiao's head, and began to look around.
"Meow."
Benny screamed, meaning to let Su Xiao look to the right, Su Xiao looked in the direction Benny expressed, and several old friends came into view.
The first thing Su Xiao saw was a flowing dress, also looking at the Virgo on his side.
Almost at the moment when the eyes met, Virgo looked away calmly, as if she didn't see Su Xiao. The reason for this was because she still owed Su Xiao 250 soul crystal cores, and she was very guilty.
In the seat in front of the Virgo, is the head of the group wearing a metal mask, and the next seat is a white bull.
Nai Luo, who was still drinking with a bottle of wine at the dinner party last night, has returned to her well-behaved appearance. After all, Bai Niu is by the side.
In addition to the three people in the starry sky, Su Xiao also saw many familiar faces, such as the old immortal of the Yu clan, and the younger generation of the Yu clan sitting around him, that is, the two sisters Yao Yi and Yu Li.
Looking forward, it is the old undead Walpole of the demon race, and around him are Mond, Lilim, Lilith, and Yaba who participated in this fighting competition.
Sin Yas and Ona's husband and wife are also there, and they came quite early, and they are in the front.
Su Xiao's eyes turned to the other side, and the tree sage was the first to catch his eye. In addition, there were several older pharmacists of his generation who found that Su Xiao cast their eyes, and these older pharmacists were polite Sex said hello, Su Xiao also raised his hand to respond.
In addition to these people, Su Xiao also saw Sephilia and the Howling King and others. On the seat between the two, there was a thin old woman. The eyes of this old woman were dark, pure black. As if to devour all light.
On the old woman's forehead, there are a total of five holes the size of the index finger, and the inside of the holes is dark. Not only that, these holes are neatly arranged and spread to both sides of the head. It is conservatively estimated that the old woman has at least a dozen openings on her head. Hole.
Undoubtedly, this must be one of the Arcane Eternal Star, one of the four leaders, Yuwen Gewu, that is, Lord Soul.
Seeing this person, Su Xiao has a feeling that the strength of the other party's soul should have reached an almost unbelievable level, much higher than his own.
Thinking that the other party is the leader of the Arcane Eternal Star Soul faction, Su Xiao is not surprised by this. He has such a high soul strength because of his innate ability, and the other party specializes in this aspect.
Counting Lord Soul, Su Xiao has met three of the four leaders, and only Gu Ya, the dean of Zhongshi Academy, has never met.
Su Xiao looked at the corner diagonally behind, and a figure was sitting there alone. It was Wood's sister, and he didn't know where Wood went.
After a while, the auction venue was full of seats, and the noisy chatter was incessant. When it was exactly eight o'clock, the lights in the venue went out, leaving only a row of small lights on the top of the stage curtain in front.
Under some dim lights, the curtain opened to both sides, and with a click, a beam of lights reflected in the center of the stage, reflecting the host.
Taking a closer look, the host standing on the stage, that is, the auctioneer tonight, is actually Wood. After thinking about it, this is quite normal. There are ten auctions in the void, and eight of them are hosted by the devil race. The atmosphere is so suitable.
"Welcome to this auction..."
Wood spoke, and his voice spread throughout the venue. Just when everyone thought he was going to make an opening speech, his second sentence changed:
"I announce that the beginning of this auction, the first thing I bring to you is a miracle."
As soon as Wood finished speaking, a waiter came to the stage with a tray on the side. On the tray was an old purse, which not only looked dirty, but also seemed to have been swallowed by a beast and eroded by stomach acid.
The moment the purse came on stage, Su Xiao found that Caesar's eyes were straight.
"My dear friend, I will buy this thing no matter how much it costs."
What Caesar means by this is that even if the bidding price exceeds his due share this time, he will pay for the soul coin out of his own pocket. It can be said that he will take this thing regardless of the cost.
"This item was discovered by scavengers in the ancient battlefield. After identification, this item is called an ancient money bag. It is connected to a treasure house in the ancient times, but because the money bag itself is cursed, it can only be opened once every three days..."
After Wood's explanation, Su Xiao understood the function of the [Ancient Money Bag]. In short, this thing can be opened once every three days. After opening, it will either take out treasures from it, or be cursed, and the luck is particularly bad. If so, it may also release evil spirits, ghosts, etc. in the connected treasure house.
Someone tried to use this money bag as a coordinate to find the ancient treasure house, but it was found that it was almost impossible. The ancient treasure house was located in an "unknown place", and the unknown land was too erratic and difficult to detect. More importantly Yes, there are a lot of Void beings out there.
If you encounter the ordinary existence of the void, that's all, if you run away, there is still some vitality. If you encounter Maosheng's madness, the old master, and the candle girl, it will be over.
"The first lot is at a low price of 5,000 soul coins, and you are free to bid."
As soon as Wood's words fell, a Reverse Tooth Clan bid 8,000 soul coins, but in the next second, Yu Li, a genius boy from the Yu Clan, offered 10,000 soul coins, showing that the Yu Clan was still very rich.
"100,000!"
As soon as Caesar said this, the venue suddenly became quiet. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Wood on the stage didn't call 3.2.1 at all. .
Bang~
"The deal, the ancient purse was taken by this customer."
Wood on the stage just dropped the hammer, and the tree sage who was about to raise his placard under the stage froze, and his old face showed a bit of suspicion and confusion.
To say that Caesar and Wood did not collude secretly, Su Xiao definitely does not believe it, but this matter does not involve the use of goblin checks.
Facts have proved that Caesar quietly contacted Wood, and it is necessary to do such a thing. If the tree sage reacts, with the old guy's financial resources, Caesar will definitely pay a higher price if he wants to win this [Ancient Money Bag].
"Everyone, Lot 2..."
Wood began to introduce the second lot, which was a soul fruit, and Su Xiao was not interested in it.
Su Xiao did not bid, but Caesar on the side was the exact opposite. For almost every lot, Caesar had to bid a few times, which immediately aroused dissatisfaction from other bidders.
Caesar did this on purpose. First, he was disguising his identity. Second, even if he did not disguise his identity, he didn't care about his reputation.
Furthermore, Caesar's constant bidding behavior will make people feel that the shareholders of this goblin company are too difficult to deal with. As a result, there will be fewer people who will bid with him in the future.
Only by avoiding bidding with others can the value of the goblin check be maximized. Only by buying more things with the goblin check, can you sell more soul coins with these things.
As the auction continued, the value of the items on the stage became higher and higher, until a secret treasure named [Eternal Heart] was taken by the old undead Walpole of the demon family at the price of 1.59 million soul coins. Down.
A lot of amazingly valuable lots came to the stage. When eight consecutive high-value lots were sold, the atmosphere was not so enthusiastic, and some peculiar lots began to be brought up, which is the so-called relaxation.
"Lot No. 30, the blood of the abyss with great purity, the starting price is 1000 soul coins."
As Wood spoke, he naturally moved away from Lot No. 30. He didn't like to see anything related to the abyss and daddy-level artifacts.
"1100."
Su Xiao made a bid. This was his first bid tonight, and then there was no more. He bought [Extremely Pure Blood of the Abyss] at the price of 1100 soul coins.
After a while, Su Xiao took a look at another item, which was named [Blazing Sun Badge]. He found that this thing was related to [Blazing Sun Disc]. The groove on the front of [Blazing Sun Disc] was just enough This badge is inlaid.
What surprised him was that he actually won this beautiful looking [Blazing Sun Badge] at the price of 3,000 soul coins.
In turn, he thought that his current identity is the Holy Flame Apothecary, a distinguished guest of the Arcane Eternal Star. Many of the casters present are Arcane Eternal Star, and they will not argue with him, nor will the head of the team, the white bull, and the others. , neither does the tree sages and those older generation pharmacists.
Thinking of it this way, the representatives of those medium-sized races would bid against him, and all the strange things he shot were not mainstream high-value items, which led to few people arguing with him.
After several rounds of auctions, Su Xiao found another interesting auction item. This item is called [Fallen Flesh]. It is a rare item and is a rare ritual item. However, there are risks when using it. .
In Su Xiao's opinion, the main function of this thing is useless to him, but its side effect, which is more valuable to him. In the end, he made a spirit hunter competitor at the price of 3100 soul coins. Give up, in fact, if the other party doesn't give up, Su Xiao is ready to stop bidding.
The imaginary fierce bidding did not appear, even when the [Eternal Heart] was auctioned before, the old guys present were very restrained.
Soon, a batch of high-priced auctions came to the stage, and Su Xiao even saw [Soul of Skills Blood] in it, which was a must for his blood gun master to upgrade to lv.70.
However, this [Soul of Skills and Blood] is related to [Soul of Skills and Heart], [Soul of Skills and Ice], [Soul of Skills and Spirit], [Soul of Skills and Death], and Soul of Skills. Soul Blade] is sold together in a package. It seems that everyone knows that although the soul of the technique is valuable, it is difficult to find a buyer. This time, the seller took advantage of the presence of representatives of the major forces to package and sell it.
In the end, the souls of these techniques were taken by the demons, which made Su Xiao very gratified. His [Soul of Techniques Blood] has been lost, as for what to exchange with the demons? Of course it is the black maple tree.
The second batch of high-value auction items were sold one after another, and the auction was coming to an end. The last item was brought to the stage. It was a heavy wooden box. Strangely, the waiter who brought it up before Wood introduced it, Open the wooden box.
The cold air spreads, and an old thread-bound book about the thickness of a thumb, with uneven edges on each page, was frozen in a wooden box. This ancient book is actually a lot of leather pages bound together.
At the first sight of this thing, Su Xiao recognized that it was actually the "Necronomicon", and almost at the same time, he thought of another question, the Supreme Being is stronger than he imagined.
Although this auction was held in "Liguang Manor", the auction items actually came from multiple forces, so the "Necronomicon" was mixed in, and the buyer could not find this thing at all, which party entrusted the auction.
There is no doubt that the "Necronomicon" was brought by the Raven Girl to the Arcane Eternal Star. The previous holder of this thing was Su Xiao, and the previous holder was the priest. As for the previous one, it must be traced back to ten thousand years forward.
In addition, at this time, the "Necronomicon" was frozen by a very special kind of ice. Among the bidders, the probability of someone buying the "Necronomicon" is actually not low.
As for why Arcane Eternal chose to sell this thing through auction, the reason is very simple. The most difficult thing about the "Necronomicon" is karma. In the original world, it will reappear in the Arcane Eternal Star in the next second.
Therefore, selling the "Necronomicon" is tantamount to diverting the cause and effect. This is the fastest and most effective way to get rid of the "Necronomicon". It can be seen that on the Arcane Eternal Star, there are people who disagree with "Father". I know very well about "class" artifacts~EbookFREE.me~ Or, was the Arcane Eternal Star who asked the Devil Race for advice?
Wood on the stage naturally saw the "Necronomicon". His straight eyes showed that this matter had nothing to do with the Devil Race, and he was not allowed to speak. He was also an auctioneer and replaced Wood's Yuzu once in the midfield. Auctioneer said:
"This is the last lot today, the book of the unknown, because it is completely unknown, the starting price is 1000 soul coins."
The introduction of the Yuzu auctioneer made some bidders in the audience interested in the "Necronomicon", and successively increased the price to more than 5,000 soul coins.
Under the stage, Su Xiao figured out the key and had a coping strategy in his mind, so he immediately raised his hand to bid.
Lord Soul, Sephilia, and Dean Gu Ya, who had just arrived at the scene, all noticed that Su Xiao was going to make a bid, which made the eyes of the three of them gradually dignified.
