Volume 1: North Cliff Mountain Rebellion Chapter 83 Night Attack
In the end, this stone carving of Master Tang Zhuo was auctioned by the mysterious person in the box on the fifth floor at a high price of 78 million, Zhou Zixiu looked at the fanatical people below, and the auction was indeed a rich man's game.
The frenzied scramble for the first auction item pushed the atmosphere of the auction venue to the peak, and each of the following auction items attracted the scramble of the people present.
"Next is the fourth auction item: the three-turn Qingxiao Pill from the alchemy master Li Yuanbai, the effect is ......"
"Lot No. 6, Han Yunzhi!"
"Auction item No. 9, the Shiling Sword that was famous a hundred years ago!"
From exercises to spiritual treasures, from elixirs to alien beast pills, all of them were things that Zhou Zixiu had never heard of, and even Chen Xilan, the most widely seen of the four, couldn't recognize many of them, after all, compared to this continent, Wei Wucheng was just a little sesame, and there were too many things that they couldn't see.
Zhou Zixiu once again experienced the feeling of illiteracy, just like a grand banquet, but as a result, the participants couldn't understand any of the topics they talked about!
"The next eleventh auction item is a request that we only received last night at the Lou Ship Auction, and it is not in the list of auctions that will be distributed to you, the rare spirit grass produced in Jiang Lan City, the Innocent Orchid!
"Due to the very small production, the Chixiao Chamber of Commerce has no appraisal for the time being, and the auctioneer urgently needs to make a sale, according to the negotiation starting price of 1 million! Each increase shall not be less than 200,000!"
"The starting price is only one million, how much does it take to win!" Tu Manbru pursed his lips, her psionic energy drives were all consumables, and she didn't have much savings, let alone a poor bastard like Zhou Zixiu who had only been on a mission once.
Chen Xilan's non-combatants have hardly ever been on missions, and the spells are free to treat the injuries of the guild members, and the richest of the four is Gao Yang, who seems to be a big spender of everything.
The history of the establishment of Jiang Lancheng is only more than 100 years, and the innocent orchid has only produced two or three plants, and the vast majority of people in the venue cannot determine its value.
"One million two hundred thousand!" A young man below bid, his eyes were full of expectations for the Innocent Orchid, if he didn't know the effect of the Innocent Orchid, he was not talented enough to improve the Innocent Orchid.
"One million and four million!" someone nearby bid again.
"Two million!" A deep voice came from the box on the fourth floor facing the auction area, and Gao Yang stepped on the glass window and shouted.
This is what Tu Manman made him shout, and Gao Yang's body is only more than one million, this is what Tu Manman made him shout, plus the deposits of several people are almost there, and raising the price by a few points at one time can reduce many opponents.
"Two and two hundred thousand!" the voice of the young man below sounded again.
"Three million!" A slightly tempered voice came from the box, and just as Gao Yang hesitated, Tu Manman suddenly shouted.
The young man below glanced at the box, it is estimated that he is also a person who needs the Innocent Orchid to wash his muscles and cut the marrow like him, and it is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to enter the box, and the old man on the platform has begun to swing the hammer when he is hesitating: "Three million, is there anything higher, Jiang Lancheng has only produced two or three Innocent Orchids in more than a hundred years, it can be seen that it is rare, three million at a time!"
"I'd like to see what this thing is, three million two hundred thousand!" a voice rang out in the northeast corner.
"To?" Tu Manhu suspiciously, this kind of thing of uncertain value can only be noticed by those who need its efficacy, and ordinary people are optimistic about the goods they want to photograph long before they come.
Zhang Si sneered and said, "Miss Tu, you are joking, with the size of the Chixiao Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to do such a thing. ”
"Yes. Tu Manman turned to look at the audience, "It's a big deal to take a few more high-level tasks." ”
"Four million!"
"The lady in the fourth-floor box is really a discerning person, bidding four million, is there anything higher!"
"Four million two hundred thousand. The voice in the northeast corner sounded again.
"Four and a half million! plus you take it!" Tu Manman suddenly slowed down the offer, and floated to the audience with a resentful voice.
"Hehe, since Miss wants it, just let it go to you. The voice in the northeast corner laughed.
Tu Manman's face suddenly stinked: "Fooled, that guy should be the auctioneer, and he can only quote the repurchase price twice!"
Zhang Si on the side could only laugh and laugh, and Zhou Zixiu stared at the hooded man in the northeast corner: "Barbaric, where did we get so much money?"
"Isn't there still a money bag? Tu Manman pointed at Zhang Sidao and said, "You have to take over the task in the past two years, don't die, and we will help you pay back." ”
Zhou Zixiu nodded, the Spirit Master Guild's ability to earn money is much higher than that of ordinary people, and the more difficult the task, the more rewards you get, as long as you have time, it's no problem to pay it back.
"Miss Tu, you misunderstood, the city lord meant that the Innocent Orchid was bought by the City Lord's Mansion and given to Mr. Zhou, and there is no need to return it, although the City Lord is incorruptible, it is still harmless to buy the Innocent Orchid, in the heart of the City Lord, you family members from Weiwu City are more important. Zhang Si said with a smile.
"Did he really say that?" Tu Manbarian asked.
"The lord of the castle said it himself. ”
"It's disgusting to me. Tu Man shook his shoulders and said.
Zhang Si could only laugh on the side, not daring to talk casually about his own city lord.
The auction was still going on, and Zhou Zixiu and others, who had already obtained the innocent orchid, stayed in the box with a lively attitude and waited for the people at the venue to come in.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the box, and three staff members stood outside.
"Wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go. Zhang Sidao followed one of them to pay the remaining amount.
Soon after Zhang Si went out, he came back with a crystal clear jade box, which contained the innocent orchid photographed by Tu Manman, Zhang Si handed the innocent orchid to Zhou Zixiu: "Mr. Zhou, you take it." ”
Zhou Zixiu turned out the jade box, and the cold top was faintly sealed by the aura fluctuations inside, it seems that the treasure box was made to preserve the innocent orchid, Zhou Zixiu changed hands and handed the jade box containing the innocent orchid to Chen Xilan, how these things work together is only Chen Xilan knows best, and the five aggregate vines picked before are still there with her.
"Did you hear me?" A group of people quietly left the auction room.
"I won't be wrong, my lord, I will not forget their voices. ”
"That's good. ”
The auction lasted until late at night, Zhou Zixiu and others left the building boat by boat, the lights on the riverbank had become sparse, the sky under the night was covered by black clouds, there were no stars and moons, the more you walked into the city, the darker it became, Tu Manman casually took out a spiritual lamp from his waist bag and held it in his hand, illuminating the four of them.
"After this street, turn left and pass through three more streets to the City Lord's Mansion. Zhang Sidao.
Zhou Zixiu frowned, this is not the way they walked when they came, as a person who can run all over the country with a paper map, this sense of space is still there.
Just as he was wondering, the black shadow flashed under the light of psionic energy!
"Who!" Gao Yang shouted, pulling out the Zhenshan guards with his backhand and flanking them at Tu Manman and Chen Xilan.
Zhou Zixiu also took out his long sword and swept around vigilantly, there was only one spiritual lamp in the dark street that provided a small range of light, Tu Manman took out a long strip of black wood from the waist bag behind him, and the dark red lines spread on the long strip of black wood with a shake of his hand, and the black wood bounced off piece by piece to form a spirit crossbow held in his hand, Tu Manman designed the latest design, no need to fill short arrows, and consumed spiritual energy cores to increase the ability of the spirit master while reducing weight.
Tu Manman handed over the spiritual energy lamp to Chen Xilan, and the five of them slowly walked forward in a formation.
The black shadow flashed, Gao Yang took the lead, and the town mountain in his hand slashed straight down, the thick aura shattered the ground, and a weasel was shocked to a blur of flesh and blood.
"It turned out to be a weasel, there was no one, it should be that we were too nervous. Zhang Si said after seeing Gao Yang's move.
Zhou Zixiu and Gao Yang glanced at each other, probably because Zhang Tan's search in Jianglan City caused them to be a little nervous.
At the moment when Gao Yang inserted Zhenshan back into the sword clip, a cold light flashed, and Gao Yang turned around and used the power of turning to pull out Zhenshan from behind and slash at the black-clothed man who attacked Tu Man.
The short sword collided with Zhenshan, and the man in black obviously didn't expect Gao Yang to react, and was about to retreat, when a figure had already deceived him, and the sword light flashed under the reflection of the spiritual lamp, and the man in black didn't have time to react and was picked on the shoulder.
Zhou Zixiu was unforgiving, and his toes touched the ground and relayed a horizontal slash!
Clang!
A crisp crash sounded in the silent streets, and Zhou Zixiu was shocked back by the aura attached to the short sword for five steps before he stopped his body, obviously his strength was far superior to him.
The clash of short swords and long swords was like a signal. The lights around the street suddenly lit up, and seven men in black stood on the wall to surround Zhou Zixiu and the others, and the light of the fire came from the torches at their feet.
The other party had expected that they would go from this side, set up an ambush here, and waited for them to arrive, but people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that a weasel would cause Zhou Zixiu and others to be alert.
"Zhang Si, shouldn't you explain to us why this road is different from when we came? Zhou Zixiu said coldly.
Zhang Si stared at the long sword that was close at hand, his expression was flustered, and his voice was hurried: "Mr. Zhou, this is what the city lord meant, I was afraid that the other party would know that we were participating in the auction, so I deliberately took a detour, but I didn't expect them to ambush here in advance! It's definitely not that I want to harm you!"
Zhou Zixiu withdrew his long sword, his eyes swept over the seven people standing on the wall, and Gao Yang's voice came from his ears: "Zixiu, it's not good, they came prepared, this group of people is also at the highest level of Wangchen, and I can't see the two people in the back, it is estimated that they are at the level of the Pleiades." ”
"Old Seven, didn't you say that you would be killed if you hit it, how could you be wasted with one hand. One of the above teased.
"Don't talk nonsense, quickly dispose of the people who don't want to be closed, take the people away, if the city guards come, they won't be able to eat and walk around!"
