Chapter Twelve: The Fantasy Auction Next Door? I Have It Too(1/2)
Bai Bai's words were like a devil's bewitchment, inducing the black dragon one by one. The malice hidden deep in his heart was ready to flourish, and he was almost unable to control himself, releasing the power of anger and falling into the abyss.
But he still endured it in the end, maybe because of his own reason, or maybe because of the sincerity engraved in his bones. But no matter what the reason was, he did endure it under this temptation.
"good."
Along with Bai Bai's rare admiration, the psychological suggestion that seemed to be bewitching and hypnotic disappeared. The black dragon came back to his senses, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction, but looked at him with some confusion.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I'm just testing you to see your choice."
Wanwan chuckled.
"What choice?"
Black Dragon Xiaobai was still puzzled as to whether his words could not be so mysterious.
"Of course it is your own choice. Are you going to be carried away by anger and rush out to avenge the so-called dignity of the dragon clan? Or are you aware of the shortcomings of your own strength and choose to endure it."
As he said that, Bai Wan looked at the other party with a hint of recognition and approval in his eyes. But...why did this look look so like a landlord looking at his stupid son?
"Sometimes self-knowledge is very important, especially for you dragons. Arrogance and ignorance are fatal. I'm sorry that I just lied to you. If you really rush out, I will only give up on you. Although I respect your
Choice, but after all, your choice is not in line with my plan."
When he said this, his tone was as calm as usual, but Heilong Xiaobai saw in his eyes the same expression as when they first met. Calm, strong, and also indifferent, which also meant that if he really rushed out
, I'm afraid I'll just watch him die.
A long time later, Black Dragon once thought back on this scene. If he had made a different choice at that time, wouldn't there be no Xiaobai later, but the dead Scourge of Death - Elliot...
Of course, he didn't expect that much now. Instead, he felt a little undeserved for this rare compliment.
'I was just timid...'
"Sometimes, learning to be timid is also a kind of growth."
The white man said with seriousness and sincerity.
…
His eyes returned to Harold who had just landed.
After greeting the onlookers with a smile, he raised his hand slightly to silence the originally noisy scene. Prince Harold's powerful influence was clearly reflected at this moment.
"Hello everyone, I am Harold. I am here to represent the royal family to participate in the auction of Melos..."
Harold spoke through a loudspeaker with the fighting spirit of a warrior, and his clear voice was enough to spread throughout the square.
"In addition, I also brought a message from Grand Duke Terry: Because the Terry family is busy guarding the border, they cannot spare time to attend the auction. I have been asked to express my apology on his behalf..."
Although what he said was just some formal polite words and had nothing to do with most people, Harold's popularity and eloquence still won the cheers of many people present.
Speaking of which, a certain handsome young man who had already entered the auction house was immediately attracted again when he heard the cheers outside. But as soon as he came to the door, he saw Harold in the spotlight.
For a moment, jealousy made him look hateful!
"Son of a bitch! Steal my spotlight!"
"Master! Calm down..."
"Who is that? Come and stop the young master together..."
What's even more outrageous is that not long after Harold appeared on the scene, a businessman copied the clothes he was wearing now, and then sold them on the street. For a while, there was an endless stream of people in front of the door, and other businessmen immediately followed suit.
Soon, not to mention the same clothes, the same shoes, the same hairstyle...etc., all kinds of fans and the same style swept the market in a short period of time. Many merchants also made a lot of money from this.
"I didn't expect that other worlds also have fan effects."
Seeing this scene, Bai Bai sighed slightly.
After Harold and other heavyweight guests entered, it was finally the turn of the little nobles like Wanwan to enter. The flow of people at the entrance of the auction house began to flow again, and finally gathered in the largest open-air auction venue.
Bai Bai, the black dragon, and Xiao Bai looked for the seat number and sat down. Originally, as Xiao Bai's follower, he was not eligible for a seat. However, the unlucky guy who originally sat in this seat was knocked unconscious by an unknown dragon and stuffed into the seat.
Under the seat.
This position came naturally.
However, with the status of a minor aristocrat like Wanwan, the seats are naturally not much better. They are just temporary seats added to the open space of the original hall in this giant open-air auction house.
The real top position is on the upper floor of the giant open-air auction house. The few private rooms are reserved for certain distinguished guests, and just like their position, they show their superior status.
Representatives of the Four Dukes, Harold and other distinguished guests who entered in advance were among them. The private room upstairs not only has a magic one-way mirror to ensure a wide field of vision, but also has a beautiful maid to serve specifically. This is what status brings
treatment gap.
In addition to the three Harolds, the host Duke Melos also arrived early, also located in a private room upstairs. Of course, its apparent function is to deter the situation with force and prevent the situation from getting out of control. After all, the temptation of the legendary magic book cannot be guaranteed.
There will be evil intentions.
Of course, it’s hard to say what the other reasons behind the scenes are...
"This is a fantasy and legendary auction next door. I didn't expect it to exist in the magic world."
"Sir, what are you talking about? Has that legendary magic book entered the scene? When will we do it?"
A certain black dragon's very ambiguous words were heard in Bai Bai's ears. Fortunately, this guy knew that he was at the auction site and used sound transmission instead of speaking directly. Otherwise, I'm afraid the two of them would have been driven away before the auction started.
go out.
"...What action? When did I say I was going to take action?"
She gave him a pale and speechless look.
"?Didn't you say before that you don't want to use my treasure? There are other ways to get it? Why don't you just grab it?"
A look of confusion flashed across the tough guy's rough face in the form of a black dragon.
"Of course not. Robbery is too troublesome. Just sit back and wait for the magic book to appear..."
Thinking of the black dragon's usually low IQ, at this moment Wanwan wondered whether his brain only had muscles.
"Okay... Sir, if we don't take action, will someone else take it?"
What he said was not just a guess, but a well-founded reality. Why not take a bold guess at where the legendary spells collected by Black Dragon come from?
"Don't panic. With that old fox Melos controlling the situation, even if the legend comes to rob it, it will be in vain."
When someone takes the blame, Bai Wanqing is a little concerned about the excitement and doesn't think it's a big deal.
"Huh? Melos? Is he already here?"
Of course, the VIP box upstairs cannot be without the basic function of isolation and exploration.
"Upstairs, the one opposite our heads..."
"Sir, how do you know..."
"It's a long story, the auction is about to begin..."
…
After most of the nobles took their seats one after another, the auction that shocked the entire empire finally officially started!
On the auction stage in the center, the floor cracked, and a young man slowly rose from it. He was wearing a well-dressed black dress, and the amplifying magic item in his hand looked like a gentleman's cane. This made
His voice could be heard throughout the open-air auction.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming to this Melos auction. On behalf of the Melos family, I welcome you all..."
Different from the formulaic opening remarks, the lifting platform when the man appeared and the amplifying magic item in his hand undoubtedly attracted more pale interest.
'Similar to elevators and microphones? It seems that the application of magic in other worlds is similar to that of technology...'
"... I believe everyone sitting here already knows that in this auction, we will sell the first legendary magic book ever sold by Melos Auction House! Where is the applause?!"
As the audience burst into warm applause and cheers, the auctioneer wisely chose to get straight to the point without talking too much.
"Okay, thank you for your support. Without further ado, let's officially start the auction. Here's our first lot!"
As soon as the auctioneer man finished speaking, he saw a long sword shining with magical light slowly rising from the center of the auction table.
The shape of the long sword itself is very gorgeous, and it looks even more radiant under the light of magic. It is very in line with the aesthetics of the aristocratic people present, luxurious and noble... To put it bluntly, it looks very classy.
"I believe everyone present can see that this is an enchanted weapon."
"That's right, this weapon is a weapon that has been enchanted with fire magic by the famous Master Cecil. It can add additional burning damage familiar to fire during battle, and..."
The auctioneer boasted about this enchanted long sword, and with his arrogant eloquence, he made it sound like this weapon was a rare item that could only be found in heaven and hard to find on earth.
But anyone who really knows the goods can see that this is just a mid-level enchanted weapon. If you encounter it outside, it will naturally be regarded as a rare item, but if it appears at this auction, it can only be regarded as the bottom one.
However, due to the bragging of the auctioneer and the fact that the sword was indeed a good seller and was very popular among the nobles, someone finally bought the sword at a price much higher than the market price.
Under the introduction of this eloquent auctioneer, the lots were auctioned off one after another. The auctioneers were actually ordinary nobles sitting down in the hall.
Only a few relatively good high-end items made several people in the private room compete a few times. In this way, with the end of these appetizers, the upcoming finale once again pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the peak!
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen! The final finale is finally about to take place. I believe everyone is as excited as I am. Next, comes the much-anticipated - the legendary magic book!!"
For this last legendary item, the auctioneer shouted so loudly that veins appeared on his neck and his face turned red. It could be said that he shouted at the top of his lungs.
The center of the auction table slowly rose again, and a magic book shimmering with cyan elemental aura was suspended in the air, slowly rotating in front of everyone's sight.
To be continued...
