Chapter 224: Corpses and Ice Coffins

In the same place, under the gaze of many people, an auction is still beginning.

However, compared to the first thing taken out, the value of the second item is much lower, just some works of art collected by the ancient elf nobles, which may be very precious to mortal nobles, but not worth mentioning to wizards, let alone official wizards like Adiel.

With the exception of a few wizards who have a penchant for this kind of thing, few wizards will make an offer.

Eventually, the second auction item was bought by a middle-aged wizard in a red robe for five magic stones.

Next, there are more and more things auctioned here, most of which are precious antiquities used by some elven nobles, or some low-grade demonic items.

Basically, these things have a characteristic, that is, they are related to ancient elves, and most of them are said to have been excavated from the ruins of ancient elves.

During this auction, Adil also made a few purchases and bought some gadgets that were also interesting to him, most of which were demonic items excavated from the ruins of ancient elves.

Most of these demonized items have been repaired, after all, even if they are made by wizards, after tens of thousands of years, they will be damaged, and it is impossible to maintain their original appearance.

Most of the things that can be auctioned in front of me are the ones that are still in good condition, and they are mostly weak after being simply repaired by some wizards and then put them up for auction.

The reason why Adil bought these things was not because he wanted to use them, but because he wanted to study the demonized items made by these ancient elves and see if he could get some alchemy skills from the ancient elves.

Ahead, the auction continues.

Under the gaze of everyone, the red-robed old man in charge of the presiding officer in front stood in the center of the stage, and beside him, several burly men who looked strong and powerful lifted a huge blue ice coffin up with all their strength.

After lifting it up, they opened the lid of the coffin, revealing its contents.

A faint cold wind blew out, carrying with it the dust and dust that had been sealed for a long time.

At this moment, the faces of several wizards present moved, as if they sensed something, and their eyes looked into the ice coffin.

I saw that on the ice coffin, a beautiful girl wearing a light blue dress was lying quietly inside, her eyes closed, as beautiful as the sleeping beauty in fairy tales.

Unlike ordinary girls, this girl has long pale silver hair and much smaller ears than normal people. On the girl's body, there was also a faint mana fluctuation that was constantly escaping, with a deep coldness.

"It's this!!"

At this moment, the faces of many wizards present changed, and their eyes looked at the elf girl in the ice coffin in front of them in a daze.

"This was recently excavated from an ancient ruin, and according to the age, it was in the period of the Bloody Plague. โ€

In front, feeling the sight of the people around him, the old man in charge of the host nodded with satisfaction, and began to explain to the people below: "According to the information obtained at that time, this dead elf girl should belong to the elf royal family in ancient times, and may even be a princess, so she can be protected so well after death." โ€

He pointed to the ice coffin in front of him: "Look, this kind of ice coffin is also a unique demonized item, which is specially made by ancient elf wizards to protect the corpse, as long as the corpse is put in, it will be crystallized within a day, so that the corpse will always remain the same as when it was dead, and it will never decay." โ€

Looking at the people below, he enthusiastically explained loudly, and then said the price of this auction item: "Together with the corpse and the ice coffin, the starting price is one hundred magic stones!"

As soon as the words fell, the place fell silent at first, and after a while, a voice sounded: "Two hundred magic stones!"

"Five hundred magic stones!"

"Eight hundred!"

Voices continued to sound in place, and in a short period of time, the price of this ice coffin was shouted to a thousand magic stones, and the price was still slowly rising.

In a room on the side, when he saw the ice coffin in the distance, Adilton stood up and looked at the ice coffin in the distance with burning eyes.

To be precise, he wasn't actually looking at the ice coffin, but at the lifelike corpse inside the ice coffin.

"It seems that there are still a lot of good things in this auction. On the side, Fred's voice rang out again.

He looked at Adil who stood up from the side in some surprise, and then said with a smile: "We are lucky, this ice coffin made by ancient elves can not only preserve the corpse intact, but the material of the ice coffin itself is also a precious material that is about to disappear, and in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer of them. โ€

Unlike Adiel, his interest was clearly not in the corpse in the ice coffin, but in the ice coffin.

The same was true of the other wizards present, except for a few with quirks, the rest of the wizards didn't look at the corpse.

Once the corpse is taken out of the ice coffin, it will lose its crystallization state and become a rotting corpse after a period of time.

No matter how beautiful a girl is, if her corpse is decomposed, it is just a puddle of rotten meat, and it can't attract the slightest attention from these wizards.

Unless this corpse is a pure-blooded Ancient Elf King, then maybe there is a way to obtain the powerful bloodline of the Ancient Moon Elves from the corpse.

But if this corpse is really a pure-blooded elf king, then it is definitely impossible to get it here for auction.

The corpse of an ordinary elven royal family, although it also has strong research value, is far less precious than this ice coffin for the wizards present.

"It's too much!"

As the surrounding atmosphere grew hotter, a voice sounded in the corner of the side.

Solana looked at the elf girl lying quietly in the ice coffin in the distance, and there was some anger in her eyes: "It's okay to disturb the sleep of the deceased, and now you have to take out the body of the deceased for auction, it's just blasphemy!"

She looked at the people around her who were making offers, and felt extremely angry in her heart.

Because she has the blood of the ancient moon elves in her body, although she does not have the qualifications of a wizard, she has always longed for the beauty of the ancient elves. Therefore, she has always been disgusted by the desecration of elven corpses.

What's more, the corpse that was taken out for auction at this time was not only a beautiful elf girl, but also had the blood of a moon elf in her body, and it was more likely that she was also a princess.

Similar identity and bloodline, this had to make her feel close to the corpse in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel very repulsed by the current behavior of taking out the corpse for auction.

It's a pity that even if she is the princess of the royal family of Gaoluo, she is not born with wizard qualifications, so she is not taken seriously, and the magic stones that can be mobilized at this time are limited, not enough to compete with the wizards around her, so she can only watch the wizards around her keep quoting.

In front of him, under the bidding of many wizards, the price of this ice coffin was raised to two thousand five hundred magic stones, and the sound of bidding gradually fell and no longer sounded.

As for the value of the ice coffin in front of them, the wizards present basically knew it in their hearts, even if they added the corpse of the elven royal family inside, which was just this price, no matter how high it was, it was not worth it.

"It seems that this is the price. In the corner on the side, looking at the ice coffin in front of him, a wizard whispered.

"Three thousand magic stones. โ€

At this moment, a voice sounded again, and although it was calm, it was firm, and one could feel his determination.

Everyone around looked in the direction where the sound came from, but found that the sound came from a small room.

"It's the wizard. โ€

Looking at the direction from which the voice came, Solana's eyes lit up: "I remember he came with Lord Fred. โ€

"Three thousand magic stones!

Ahead, the host's excited voice sounded again.

The red-robed old man in charge of support had an excited face, looking at the direction where the voice came from, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he still tried to shout, expecting someone to continue bidding.

Only this time, there was no sound from below.

An old apprentice in white robe who had bid two thousand five hundred magic stones before looked at the host on the stage and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

"Okay! Congratulations to this lord for getting this ice coffin!"

Looking at the reaction below, the red-robed old man announced loudly.

"The price of three thousand magic stones is a bit expensive. โ€

In the room on the side, looking at the ice coffin that was carried down in front of him, Fred looked at Adil while eating a white fruit and said with a smile: "This ice coffin plus this corpse, two thousand five hundred magic stones is almost the limit, and three thousand magic stones are a bit wasted." โ€

"It doesn't matter. โ€

Adil shook his head with a smile, looking in a good mood: "I have some experiments recently, and I need some corpses of the elven royal clan with pure blood. โ€

"You want to try to extract the bloodline of the Ancient Moon Elves from the corpses of the Elven Royal Clan?"

Looking at Adiel, Fred guessed.

Listening to his words, Adil did not deny it, and nodded directly.

"That's good, but it's too hard. โ€

Fred nodded: "The purification of the ancient bloodline has always been a great difficulty for the current wizards. I remember doing a lot of these experiments when I was younger. โ€

"What was the final result?" Adil asked, looking at him.

"There is no doubt that I failed. โ€

Fred spread his hands: "The bloodline of ancient creatures, if it is so easy to purify, then the current wizard will not be able to be weak to this point." โ€

Hearing this, Adil nodded slightly.

Trying to purify a high-level ancestral bloodline from a decayed bloodline was an extremely difficult thing even in ancient times.

If Adil didn't have a chip, he could not have done this if he could directly observe the chain of blood in the bloodline through the help of the chip.

"But even though I failed, I learned a lot from the crazy experiments I had during that time. โ€

In front of him, looking at the expression on Adiel's face, Fred smiled and said, "There are many wizards who do this kind of experiment, and if you want to do this kind of experiment, there is actually no need to collect materials at the auction." โ€

"In some places, there are places where the corpses of ancient elves are excavated from the ruins to be sold, and if you want to collect experimental materials, you can go there. โ€

"Huh?"

Listening to Fred's words, Adil was stunned: "There is still such a place?"

"Of course. โ€

Fred smiled and said, "Actually, we have such a place in the market here, but on a smaller scale. โ€

"But you have to be mentally prepared, generally this kind of elf corpse with a good bloodline is not only scarce, but also very expensive. โ€

He looked at Adil and explained, "After all, from ancient times to the present, it is not easy to keep the corpses. โ€

"I can understand that. Adil nodded, in understanding.

Ahead, as time passed, auction items appeared one by one, one by one.

However, after the ice coffin, Adil had no interest in other auction items, except for the occasional auction of a few items, the rest of the things did not care.

After a while, as time passed, the auction gradually came to an end.

Adil and Fred walked together towards the outside of the room, following a small path and soon coming to a large hall.

There, at this point, there were already several people waiting.

"Hello two adults!"

Seeing Adil and Fred, an old man in a white robe stepped forward with a smile and looked directly at Adiel: "This lord, you have auctioned a total of seven things, and after our calculations, a total of 7,300 magic stones. โ€

"Seven thousand three hundred magic stones. โ€

Hearing this number, Adil nodded slightly, no surprise.

In the previous auction, in addition to the ice coffin, he also auctioned several other things, and the price was not low.

After taking out a small bag from his arms and counting out the seventy-three high-grade magic stones, he asked seemingly nonchalantly, "Can you exchange high-grade magic stones for magic crystals here?"

"This..."

It seemed that he didn't expect Adil to ask this question, the white-robed old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course this is no problem." โ€

"It's just that if you usually use ordinary magic stones to exchange magic crystals in our Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber of Commerce still needs to take one percent of the handling fee. โ€

"Ahem..." A cough suddenly sounded.

Listening to the words of the white-robed old man in front of him, Fred's face was not good, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes looked at him, and a wisp of unique spiritual fluctuations escaped and was instantly suppressed.

Suddenly, the white-robed old man in front of him turned pale, and before he could react to what was going on, Fred's voice sounded again: "This is Lord Adir, who is also the guardian wizard of our Gaoluo Kingdom. โ€

"The guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Gora..."

Listening to Fred's reminder, the old man in front of him immediately reacted, looking at Adil in front of him, the expression on his face suddenly became respectful and fiery: "Of course, for an official wizard like Your Excellency, this one percent fee can be completely waived!"

PS: The following is a brief introduction to the book "Rebirth: The Chinese Food Saint" recommended by a friend:

Li Yu, the youngest chef in China, was unexpectedly reborn into a parallel world where the ban on meat had just been lifted.

What? The world's recipes have been broken? The most famous oriental cuisine is kimchi?

Of the one hundred and eight dishes of the Manchu and Han banquets, only more than 20 have survived?

There is no one out of ten of the eight major cuisines, and the Chinese cuisine is actually supported by the 'silk drawing' series?

I have read the book, and I recommend it (the lazy cancer author begs all readers not to hit me)
