Chapter 33: The Auction of the North Star
After a hasty dinner, Xiaoyu changed into a boy's attire, tied her hair into braids and coiled it on the top of her head, and then wore a top hat and a badge given by the Polaris steward on her chest. The pen www.biquge.info looked at the aristocratic boy in the mirror with satisfaction, and she playfully squeezed her eyes at the young man in the mirror and left the Mermaid Princess Hotel through the back door.
The daytime steward stood at the gate of the auction house and looked forward to the arrival of the little girl in the afternoon, but he did not expect that it would be a little boy who was waiting for him. Looking at the 'boy' who was smiling brightly at him, he couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart. Is this little girl dressed up like this to cover up for a possible auction? The steward handed Xiaoyu a mask for her to put on, then led her to the hidden side door to the exclusive box, taught her to use the magic bidder, and left a drink snack and a brief description of the auction items before retreating. There are no special requirements, and no attendants or maids will be arranged in the private room in order to protect the privacy and identity of the guests in the private room.
"This is the legendary magic projector!" Xiaoyu sat on the soft couch and looked at the huge glowing screen in front of him with satisfaction. The people in the box are watching the situation in the outside hall and the image on the auction table through this magic projector, and the scene can be zoomed in and farther through voice control. Although some parts of the wizarding world are not as advanced as modern society, there are some things that are beyond the reach of modern society's technology, which is a very magical theory of relativity.
I glanced around the hall and got a general idea of the situation. Some wore half-masks to hide most of their faces, some wore long cloaks that covered their entire bodies, and everyone sitting in the hall tried their best to hide their true identities. After all, auction houses are a mixed place, and if you accidentally auction something good, it's safe in the auction house, and it's hard to say when you go out, so it's not good to hide your identity.
The light in the hall slowly dimmed, and a circular pillar of light enveloped the auction table. Behind the platform hung a silver curtain, and as the beam shone through, the curtain moved, and then two middle-aged men and an old man came out. The middle-aged man carried a heavy sword on his back, dressed as a great swordsman. The old man was wearing a magic robe, and he was holding a staff taller than him in his hand, and the style of the robe was actually that of a magister. This is a guest provided by the Polaris Auction House, which is specially used to deter the auction site. There are many people who want to make money, and if they want to do business well, they have to be guarded.
The three of them sat down on the special seats on either side of the auction table, and the staff in the magister's hand slammed into the ground, and a magic shield slowly rose to envelop the auction table. After the protective shield was raised, a beautiful woman slowly came out from behind the curtain. I saw her smile at everyone, "Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Polaris, little girl Lilia, tonight's auction will be hosted by the little girl, please support us." "No matter where it is, what era it is, beautiful women are always popular, and the tense atmosphere at the scene seems to have relaxed a little after the woman came out. Lilia didn't talk nonsense, and after briefly stating the auction rules, the auction soon began.
The first auction item is a high-grade potion stone skin flask, which allows the user to petrify the skin for thirty seconds, making them immune to a large amount of damage, and limited to two bottles in a day. There are a total of eight bottles of the potion, and each bottle is sold separately. This thing is the most popular among swordsmen, so as soon as it came out, it set off the heat of the scene, and the bidding came and went.
Xiaoyu flipped through the auction item manual, and the first item on the leather scroll was the potion that was now auctioned, and there was a brief introduction to the efficacy and time limit of the potion next to it. This scroll intrigued Xiaoyu, meaning that only guests in the box would be able to get their hands on the scroll and know in advance what items were to be auctioned. Unfolded the scroll and looked around carefully, there were a few seeds and unknown items she cared about, but that kind of seed was not what she needed, not unprecious, that kind of seed was a high-grade commodity in the Warcraft Forest, which was priceless to others, and worthless to her.
As for the few unknown items, touching his chin, Xiaoyu decided that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, buy them all and check them one by one. It doesn't matter if you buy the wrong one, you may be able to use it when you keep it. Decided, she concentrated on eating snacks and waiting for what she needed to appear.
The auction is over, and the steward comes to guide Xiaoyu away. Although it was a little strange that the little girl said that she wanted to buy seeds, but in the end she bought those strange things that could not be identified, but the good professionalism also taught him to be silent and did not ask too much.
"Thank you so much tonight!" Xiaoyu took off her mask and handed the steward a small money bag as a hardship fee. "I'll ask for your help with the acquisition of rare plants, and I'll be here next weekend. ”
"That's what the little one should do, don't worry, Your Excellency. The small things you have commanded will be done, and you will not live up to the trust. The steward didn't shirk either, and took the money bag with a smile. "Little one, I'm looking forward to your next visit!" Xiaoyu nodded and didn't say anything more, turned around and walked into the night.
Back at the hotel, the room was checked again, making sure there weren't any magical surveillance devices. Locked the doors and windows, put a few small anti-thief mechanisms on the window lattices of the door, and Xiaoyu rushed into the space. "Hello!!!!!!!! Shrugging his shoulders, Xiaoyu sat down on the grass and took out what he had previously sold at the auction house and put it on the ground.
The space didn't react, unlike the last time the thing came in, and the space was flooded. If there is no response, it means that there is nothing left for these things to grow. He sighed, somewhat disappointed in his heart. Lying down on the grass and looking at the sky, she was a little deflated, what should I do!
"Meow~>▽<......" suddenly heard the sound of a cat meowing in her ears, Xiaoyu turned her head in surprise, and a snow-white little milk cat was staggering towards her. With a big head, a small body, a long tail, and a fluffy face, not to mention how cute it is. Xiao Yuluo sat up and looked at the little milk cat with her mouth wide open. This...... What is this?!In addition to the rabbit, how could a little milk cat run out of the space?!!But ...... It's so cute!
"Miya......" The kitten pounced directly on Xiaoyu's legs, rubbing her legs affectionately, and Xiaoyu's eyes were about to become heart-shaped.
"You...... You...... Are you a bunny?!" Xiaoyu looked at those lilac eyes and screamed speculatively. Could it be?!Could that long-eared beast be a enchanted cat?!
"Meow...... Mi ...... "The little milk cat seems to be the name she called, and she is more energetic."
"This is your bunny, but it wasn't a long-eared beast in the first place, it was only because of its lack of strength that it degenerated into that weak monster. A familiar child's voice spoke, and Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly turned red inexplicably.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and took a heavy breath. "Ozawa, are you alright?!" she struggled to suppress the urge to cry, not knowing what was wrong with her.
"Sorry to worry you. That day, the space suddenly upgraded, and I was caught off guard and encountered a little trouble, and I didn't wake up until I just woke up. Ze's voice was full of apologies, not on purpose, but indeed when he was in trouble, he almost fell asleep again.
"Then it's okay now, right?!" Xiaoyu didn't care about being sad, and hurriedly asked. This person is her only relative in this world, and there must be no trouble.
"No problem, it's just ...... The transformation is not satisfactory. Ze paused, his tone a little helpless.
"What......'s wrong? Can I still see you?" Xiaoyu stood up and took the little milk cat into her arms, while smoothing its fur, while looking left and right.
"You...... Don't laugh at me......" Ze's tone seemed to be a little twisted, causing Xiaoyu to be a little surprised.
"I promise not to laugh at you, I just want to be able to see you, and then I want to know what happened in this time and space, what exactly was the thing I put in that day. Xiaoyu swore a gesture.
"You go to the edge of the Tai Chi Pond and stand by the plant. Ze instructed her.
