Chapter 65
Night hangs over Ziwei City, but the city that has risen to prominence due to commerce is not destined to sleep, and even at night, it is still bright and bright.
It was at this moment that the month-end auction of Hongchao Auction House officially kicked off.
Hua Li Xiao sat on the Taishi chair in a luxurious private room, this Taishi chair was much larger than the average and extremely comfortable, but it was the first one like Hua Li Xiao to sit on the Taishi chair, which made the maid who was waiting on the side frown slightly.
She has served many distinguished guests, in her opinion, the guests who can enter this private room are either rich or expensive, and most of them are the leaders of a big force, either fat heads and big ears, or old dragon clocks, like today's young appearance, she is really the first time to see it in this private room.
Moreover, she was also personally instructed by the shopkeeper to serve well, and if she had any needs, she should be met immediately, which made her a little surprised, and she had been personally instructed by the shopkeeper for several years. What kind of origin did this strange-looking teenager in front of her have, she couldn't help but be curious.
But Hua Lixiao, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, was a little awkward, and he didn't know how to adapt, especially under the attention of others, which made him restless, and in desperation, he had to sit upright.
This private room is in the middle of the auction hall, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow him to overlook the entire auction hall, he looked around hastily, and found that there are four more private rooms like this, which should be the highest private room in this auction hall, and on the ground floor of the auction hall, there are thousands of chairs, which should be for ordinary guests to sit in. The entire hall is lavishly decorated and brightly lit, and it is now full.
The atmosphere of the whole venue was lively, but it gradually quieted down with the arrival of an old man on the stage, Hua Lixiao recognized him, Gu Hongchao also invited an old man to come in to identify it when he took out the second mammoth tusk, and finally confirmed the authenticity of the ivory, which was the old man in front of him.
At this time, the old man had already changed into a set of luxurious clothes, looking extremely solemn, he slowly came to the center of the stage under the attention of everyone, and in this way, after a long time, those eyes opened a little and began to look down on everyone.
As the old man looked down, the originally noisy crowd quieted down for a moment, obviously the old man had a certain prestige here.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the old man finally spoke, "contemptible Zhou Yi, I only welcome you on behalf of the Hongchao Auction House; tonight, the monthly month-end auction of the store will be held here, and at that time, there will be treasures from all sides on display, I hope you can return home with a full load in this auction house——" At this point, the old man coughed modestly and said, " Just now, the store has made some adjustments to the auction items, at the end of the auction, we will also auction an item, due to the suddenness of the incident, so except for the important personnel of the store, no one knows its essence, but I can assure you on behalf of Hongchao Auction House that this auction item will be the most valuable auction item since the opening of the store, and even in the entire sub-micro domain in the past ten years!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and people began to talk again, some were shocked, and some were skeptical.
In the private room of the high-rise, the person who won the most status is also pondering.
At the same time, the people of Hongchao Auction House rushed to the major forces in the sub-microdomain with Gu Hongchao's handwritten letter, indicating their intentions······
Just when the scene was about to start to make noise again, Zhou Yi's cough came from the stage, he himself had good strength, and that cough had a sonic secret method in it, which made everyone quiet again.
"Now, the auction has officially begun!"
·····
Hua Li Xiao sat quietly, dragging his chin with both hands and pondering, before Gu Hongchao told him that he would temporarily send invitations to the major forces in the sub-micro domain, inviting them to come to this auction house, in order to maximize the interests of the Glacier Mammoth Tusk, but no matter what, this battle of interests will be extremely fierce and even tragic.
No matter how good the auction item is, but after all, there is only one, although there are two tusks, but once they are separated, then its value will be far less than the value of a pair, which is not only what he and Gu Hongchao do not want to see, because no one would want others to have the same power as themselves to turn the tables, the same, they also know that a pair of tusks and a pair of tusks, if they are in the same vein, it is not just as simple as one and two, so this ivory can only belong to the same side from beginning to end!
Originally, there was no hegemonic force in the entire sub-micro-domain, and only a few forces of equal strength were able to contain each other, but now, the opportunity for the emergence of a hegemon has appeared! Hua Lixiao has absolute confidence, this pair of glacial mammoth ivory is enough to change the "composition" of the entire sub-micro-domain, so will there be several forces competing with each other, so that they will fight? In order to get the ivory, will the major forces coerce and lure the Hongchao Auction House? Even if one side gets ivory, how can the other forces stand idly by and let it develop? When the war in the sub-microdomain is caused, what will he do? These are enough to make him think deeply, over and over again.
In the blink of an eye, one item after another was auctioned, and the value of the auction items was rising step by step, and the atmosphere of the scene gradually reached a climax.
Hua Lixiao's body was arched, sitting on the Taishi chair, supporting his chin with both hands, and his two index fingers on the bridge of his nose, quietly observing the changes in the scene.
The maid waiting beside him was strange, this young man had been just pondering, and he didn't seem to be interested in this auction, more than a dozen auction items came down, and other private rooms had their own pockets one after another, and he hadn't even participated in a single bidding!
But how could she know what Hua Li Xiao was thinking?
Hua Lixiao's eyes were shifting back and forth, and he noticed that there would be some noise on the field from time to time, because from time to time, there would be some people coming from outside the hall, and not many people paid attention to it at first, but gradually, people found out that after they came in, they were all the leaders in the sub-micro domain, the leaders of the major forces!
Is it finally here?
The letter sent by Gu Hongchao had a great effect, but in an hour or two, nearly ten waves of people entered the auction house one after another, and the maid behind Xiao asked for identification, and the maid's finger proved that the people who came in were indeed the figures of the top powers.
"Whew~" Hua Li Xiao exhaled heavily, his eyes were complex and keen.
At this time, in another private room, a young man was sipping a cup of tea, playing with a mask in his hand, which was the treasure he had just won from the competition, but his mind did not seem to be on this auction item, his eyes were like a phoenix, squinting quietly, observing the changes in the four directions.
And, from time to time, he would cast a glance at the private room where Hua Li Xiao was, and quietly, he put on the mask in his hand·····
On the other hand, the auction has come to an end, and it is already the penultimate auction item, that is, after this one, there is the pair of glacier mammoth tusks.
"The last auction item that we originally wanted to exhibit in this auction is the one on my right-hand—" Zhou Yi gestured with his hand, and on the display bar on his right, the red silk was pulled apart, and a thin sword inside was exposed to everyone's sight.
"Chong Ling..."
"There must be many people who know this sword, yes, it is one of the few treasures in this store, the Sword of the Spirit!"
"Once wielded, this sword is like a leaf of the spirit, so sharp that it is lightning fast, and as long as there is light shining on its blade. Zhou Yi clapped his hands, and from a corner of the auction hall, a beam of strong light came and hit the Chong Ling Sword, and in an instant, an indescribable sound wave came out from the sword body, spreading to the surroundings, and some people present gradually became a little dazed and drowsy, and some people had headaches.
Seeing that Zhou Yi clapped his hands again, the strong light flashed out, and the sound wave also stopped abruptly, and everyone present was more or less affected by the sound wave, and after recovery, they were all surprised.
"As you can see, as long as there is light shining on its sword, this sword will trigger sound waves, which can be used to a certain extent to cause the opponent to fall into a state of confusion and disintegrate the opponent's defenses. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and some of the people who had already heard it were gearing up, and some could only look at the thin sword on the stage with envious eyes.
"The Sword of the Spirit, the starting price, 25 million Vatican coupons. ”
"Thirty million. There was a loud asking sound from a private room.
"Thirty-two million. On the guest seat in the hall, a blue-robed figure said lightly.
And in the private room, the young man took off his mask, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, this thin sword was his original goal, but now-
Suddenly, the door behind the private room was opened, and a person dressed as a subordinate walked in quickly, bowed behind the young man and said, "Young master, the 100 million Van coupons you asked for have been delivered, and the master will let you handle it with full authority."
The young man didn't seem to listen to the next person, he looked up, he didn't know what he was looking at, but he just read softly in his mouth: "Four years ago, the 'Ming Wang Yin' of Ziwei Auction House was auctioned for a high price of 130 million 200, and today... Hopefully not disappointed. “
"Forty-one million twice, forty-one million three times! Deal! This sword of the spirit belongs to the 'MSI Pond Master' Liu Xingyun!"
After a short break, Zhou Yi cleared his throat again, and said solemnly: "Below, is the last auction item of this auction!" As he spoke, the two maids each walked up to the stage with a delicate plate, the red silk covered the utensils on the plate, but it couldn't hide the terrifying cold.
"Hey, what's going on, why is it suddenly cold?"
"Why does this cold make people shudder?"
"Everyone," Zhou Yi's words suppressed the somewhat commotion of the crowd, "I guess you all feel this chill, right?"
Hearing what Zhou Yi said, some people thought for a moment, and suddenly woke up: "It's the last auction item!"
Hearing that someone had guessed it, a smile appeared on Zhou Yi's face: "That's right, this is the last auction item in today's auction!
I saw that with a wave of his big sleeves, the red silk was blown off by the wind, and among the two plates, one pair of ivory was like a string moon, and there was constantly frost condensing on it, and the ice blue and white were intertwined, converging into an incomparably bright color, which was as if it were thousands of miles away, which was unattainable.
The red silk had a unique effect of suppressing the spirit of the Brahman, so at the moment when the red silk was blown off, an indescribable cold wave spread in all directions of the hall like the north wind blowing snow, and the entire dome was rendered with a faint blue veil.
And the eyes of the Quartet were also at that moment, staring at that pair of tusks, and the golden light flashing in their eyes was self-evident!
"Actually, it's true... Mammoth··· Ivory!"
Zhou Yi saw that many people's pupils were flashing with spiritual light, he knew that this was the method of converging the Brahma Qi in his eyes, so as to better see the essence of things, and he himself also had cultivation, but it was more powerful than these people in front of him.
In the private room, Hua Lixiao looked at the irrepressible atmosphere in the audience, and his expression was complicated.
In the other private room, the young man was also in disbelief after a moment of trance, even if at first, he believed that the trip would be worthwhile.
"You don't need to be like this, I vouch for the credibility of Hongchao Auction House, these two tusks do belong to the Glacier Mammoth, and they are from the same Glacier Mammoth!"
In the hall, some local Haoqiang were whispering something, and after a while, I saw many people running out of the hall and scattering around.
Hua Li Xiao couldn't sit still, he stood up directly, and instructed the maid, "Take me to see your shopkeeper!"
The maid was slightly stunned, not just why, but she quickly reacted, and after making a gesture of invitation to Hua Li Xiao, she walked out of the private room with Hua Li Xiao.
The ivory had been transferred to a special glass cabinet to suppress its chill for the time being, but it was still in the hall for viewing.
At this time, Hua Lixiao had already seen Gu Hongchao in the audience, Zhou Yi didn't dare to start selling without Gu Hongchao's instructions, and Gu Hongchao was also waiting for Hua Lixiao and wanted to hear his opinion.
"How long has it been since the ivory appeared in front of everyone?" Hua Lixiao did not signal to Gu Hongchao, but directly turned to the topic.
"It's been more than a moment. Gu Hongchao's face was mixed with joy and sorrow.
"If you use the speed of the realm of enlightenment and the realm of void, how long will it take to cross a sub-micro city?"
Gu Hongchao pondered for a moment and said, "The realm of enlightenment takes three moments, and the realm of void can have more than two moments. ”
"Auction in time!" said Hua Li Xiao categorically.
"But the auction is always settled instantly, and those people don't have enough money to pay for the ivory. ”
"The auction house is located in the center of the city, which is the realm of enlightenment, starting from the center of the city, it only takes more than a moment to reach any place in Ziwei City, and the major forces must have a foothold in Ziwei City, if you just go to this place to withdraw the Van vouchers, or go to the major banks to withdraw the Van vouchers, it will only take more than two hours at most," At this point, Hua Lixiao's face seemed to be a little gloomy, "But if you send troops, perhaps, it will be more than a little time······
