Chapter 98: Epiphany
After purchasing the warehouse at No. 134 Echenghe Road, Eiffel City, Lin Xu bought a sailboat on the Echeng River, and teleported along the river at night to the tombstone of the demon king in the basement of the warehouse.
The Demon King's tombstone is a dark sea dock on the basement floor.
"Ghost Ship Transfer......
"The target ship of the detected transfer is of the small sailing class, the quality is of the ordinary class, and the cost of the detection transfer is 800 gold coins."
"Confirmed job transfer!"
The small sailboat was illuminated by the black light falling from the ceiling of the dock of the Dockyard of the Dock, and then was encased in a black cocoon rising from the surface of the Dock River.
After a while, the black water cocoon faded, and the original sailboat became a ghostly sailboat with a dark body and a strange skeleton lying in the middle, surrounded by a faint black mist.
Lin Xu looked at the ghost sailboat in front of him with satisfaction, but remembered that he had bought real estate and ships one after another today, and put down a demon king's tombstone and changed jobs for the sailboat, his money bag had shrunk again, and his heart ached.
Lin Xu asked Esmeralda to count the gold coins he still had, and there were only a few more than 3,000 gold coins.
Come to think of it, since Palanphonie paid Lin Xu more than 100,000 gold coins, Lin Xu has been spending generously, if it weren't for the Snow Wolf digging an associated gold mine in the territory, and then putting down the Nether Mint to produce Nether Gold Coins, providing various buildings and job transfer needs, Lin Xu would have fallen into a financial crisis a long time ago.
Nether Gold Coins cannot be used externally, and this kind of cursed gold coin, after ordinary people get it, will be cursed and gradually transformed into a Nether Skeleton. This world has been shattered by the catastrophe of the underworld after the great destruction, and the various organizations in Valhalla, including the underworld, have a deep hatred for the underworld and its creatures, and if you cause such a horrific incident, you will undoubtedly expose yourself to the eyes of these organizations.
Lin Xu should have gone to find some money now, and after a little reflection, Lin Xu thought that he had obtained a lot of precious medicinal materials in Grindelwald's secret realm [Demon Garden] and [Magic Mirror Love Nest]. Lin Xu carefully counted and recalled, and picked out medicinal materials that were of great value but would not be of much help to his future combat effectiveness.
Soon, a medicinal herb entered Lin Xu's mind - Epiphany Flower.
This kind of flower, with only one petal, can keep people's skin youthful for ten years, and one flower is enough to make a woman until her vitality is completely exhausted and she is as beautiful as a flower. But this kind of flower is extremely precious, not to mention the scarcity, there is no market, even if you are lucky to get the seed, it takes a long time to bloom, the flowering time is also short, if you can't pick it immediately, after the flower blooms, the petals will fall, drift away like smoke, and go without a trace.
In order to please his lover Ggamel, Grindelwald planted a lot of these precious flowers in the secret realm, and arranged related secret techniques, so that the epiphany flowers could not drop petals after blooming until people picked them.
The epiphany flower itself is also extremely beautiful, the flowers are as white as jade, and the jade smoke is quiet, which can create a dreamlike atmosphere, and Grindelwald also arranged this kind of flower in the [Magic Mirror Love Nest] to create romantic interest.
Lin Xu took out the enchanted box that had stored the Epiphany Flower from his storage ring, gently removed a petal from it, and then put it into another empty enchanted box. This kind of box can maintain the medicinal properties of precious medicinal materials, but it is not afraid of the deterioration of the petals of the epiphany.
"A piece of epiphany petals, in this mortal city with no price, can be sold for a sky-high price, which is enough for my future expenses." Lin Xu thought.
"Let's go, come with me to the city." Lin Xu said to Esmeralda behind him. "I read in the collection of Hezhel deer that in the far west of the Apprus Basin, there is a country called 'Dark France', it is said that the reason why Louisiana got its name is because thousands of years ago, Napoleon the Great, who graduated from Hezhel deer, led an army to attack 'Dark France', which led to war, and a large number of fleeing Franks, Gauls, and Gypsies poured into this desolate state and established civilization. In honor of 'Dark France', French refugees named the state after the ancient royal family of Louis. ”
"The fate of the Gypsies has always been unsmooth, and the Gypsies in my hometown have fled from the Far West for thousands of years, but I don't know if they are related to the Gypsies who fled in Louisiana." Esmeralda replied.
Lin Xu was wearing a noble boy's brocade casual clothes, and the black-haired and ruby-eyed blood girl Esmeralda followed closely behind the right, half a position away from Lin Xu. After Esmeralda became a Red Moon Blood Clan, the aura of the whole person became mature and soft, although there was still a slight girl's youth, but the whole person was already a woman full of charm and charm from the perspective of the eyes and figures.
Christmas is approaching, and the city of Eiffel has already entered the festive atmosphere in advance. Whether it is the Franks, Gauls, or Gypsies, they are all people who enjoy life. At this time, the streets and alleys of Eiffel City are full of festive decorations, and the residents of Eiffel City are all happy when they walk during this period.
Especially at night, the bend area of this sprawling metropolis is still brightly lit as the most expensive part of the city. In the riverbend neighborhood, the small squares, fountains and statues scattered everywhere are slightly frosty under the cold winter wind, but the people of Eiffel are still happily strolling and playing outside, and the hot air exhaled by people sprays on the street lampshades along the street, covering the somewhat transparent glass covers, covering a layer of hazy fog.
"Whoa!"
"Wow!"
When Lin Xu took Esmeralda to wander through the streets and alleys. The bustling river bay of the Eiffel, and somewhere in the center of the fountain square, began to set off fireworks into the sky.
Fireworks are not cheap in this world, and the production process often requires the participation of druid apprentices and even druid sacrifices, and add spell effects to them, so that the sky fireworks can bloom with all kinds of beautiful patterns. The young people who set off the fireworks in the squares and river bays are all from Louisiana's famous and powerful people, and some of them have come from Linzhou to enjoy the prosperity and luxury of Eiffel City.
Lin Xu and Esmeralda have already walked into the area of the Riverbend Block at this time, this block is called Valhalla District, because the Valhalla in Louisiana is on the border of the Riverbend Block, and there is a thousand-year-old Eiffel Knight Academy near Valhalla, and the statues that can be seen everywhere in the Valhalla District are based on the Noble Phantasm Knights who went out of the Eiffel Knight Academy.
Lin Xu walked on the street, enjoying the festive atmosphere of an exotic city. The nerves that have been a little nervous by the preparation for the three exams in the past half month and the turmoil of the past few months have also been relieved a lot after the trip to the 'fairy tale castle'.
"Big brother, do you want to buy flowers?" In front of Lin Xu, a gypsy flower girl about eight or nine years old rushed in front of him. The girl had black hair and a pair of dark eyes, but there was a slight shadow of Esmeralda.
Lin Xu waved his hand according to the habits of his previous life and continued to walk forward.
"Brother and sister, don't you buy flowers...... The flowers really deserve you......" The girl called cutely from behind, which made Esmeralda turn her head and smile.
"Here you go~" A silver coin appeared out of thin air in Esmeralda's right hand, then she flipped her thumb and threw it to the girl, and then cut one off the flower in the girl's hand and pinned it to her chest.
"Haha......" Lin Xu didn't care about anything, but felt that the scene in front of him was a little joyful.
The two continued to walk on the streets of the Eiffel Valhalla district, Esmeralda had a bewitching figure and a charming temperament, but in the Valhalla district, where the streets were full of beautiful women, she attracted a lot of hot eyes.
Lin Xu was at ease. The hole cards have the strength of a great shaman, if you use the law of thorns, it is not afraid of Lin Xu, but it doesn't matter if you look at the ill-intentioned eyes around you.
"Glory of the Auction House ......" Lin Xu saw that there was an auction house not far from the street, with exquisite architecture, like a profound and historic museum, in the windows of the auction house, the lights were dazzling, and the tourists at the door came in and out, and it seemed that tourists in Eiffel City could visit the items in it at will.
Lin Xu and Esmeralda walked into the auction house. The auction house has night lights that are not inferior to the Hoglard Ballroom, and the visitors are all dressed in magnificent, dignified and rigorous manners. Many aristocratic couples, holding each other's arms and holding their backs high, read the exhibition items in the window on the wall of the corridor of the auction house.
Lin Xu casually glanced at a shop window, and inside was a bronze chessboard, in Lin Xu's perception, this was actually a bronze treasure!
"The Ohio Cross chessboard, which seals a ghost cat heroic spirit, is a treasure and strange thing, which has the effect of assisting in the deduction of chess momentum, and is the most cherished thing of Louis XLIX, the ancient royal family of France. Auctioned on January 17, 10,030, the Glory of Ourp was estimated at 750,000 gold coins. ”
Bronze treasures can even be auctioned and exhibited! And it's also a special treasure!
Lin Xu was a little shocked in his heart, his eyes looked down, and under a hole in the window, a note was actually placed, and a line of words was clearly revealed on the note: "Duke Ellijie has made a bid, one million gold coins." ”
Lin Xu's heart was shocked again, thinking about something in his heart.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xu and the others walked through the exhibition corridor of the auction house, and then Lin Xu crossed the door and entered the work area of the auction house. There were a few desks in the work area, and behind the desks were five or six rooms, two of which had unlocked doors.
Lin Xu walked directly into the unlocked room on the left, and said directly to the white-haired and black-clothed old man in the room: "I have an important treasure, and I need to entrust your bank to conduct an auction, with an estimate of two million gold coins." ”
Lin Xu exuded spiritual power, and the deliberately caused aura pressure dissipated towards the white-haired and black-clothed old man. Then Lin Xu took out the box where the epiphany petals were placed from the storage ring, and snapped it directly on the desk in front of the old man, and then opened a small corner of the lid of the enchanted box, so that the old man could see the petals in the box, and then quickly closed the lid.
"A dream-like petal can keep the skin youthful for ten years. There is no market. ”
After Lin Xu said this, he looked up at the old man in front of him.
"This is ......" The white-haired old man was startled by the sudden visitor, and then his heart skipped another heartbeat when he saw the petals in the enchanted box, he never expected such a big business to come tonight.
"You...... Hello......" The white-haired old man reacted quickly, he looked at the aura emanating from Lin Xu's body, it was obvious that the other party had not weak strength, and he was not an ignorant treasure fool who casually entertained him. The old man's tone slowed down, and he immediately said: "This matter is important, Rong Lao Yu immediately notified the relevant principal, and asked the principal to decide." Wait a minute......"
At this moment, the sound of coming to the door came from next door, and then a young aristocratic man with blue curly hair pushed the door in.
"What's wrong?" The young man asked.
"Master Orui. This guest has brought the legendary epiphany petals that can make people's skin stay young, and he wants to put it for auction ......," replied the old man reluctantly.
"Epiphany Petals!? Let me see. The young man reached out and took the enchanted box in front of the old man.
However, Lin Xu's hand at this time immediately put on the lid of the enchantment box.
"Look at my hands, don't move." Lin Xu watched the young man's reckless move, stared at the young man's eyes, and said in a deep voice.
