Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Boring Auction [3]
After a short time, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and the city gate slowly opened. Mu Tian and the others walked forward with the crowd.
For the sake of convenience, the four of them were still wearing the costumes of the wolf's tooth mercenary group, and the iron-blooded empire was worthy of the title of the country of mercenaries, and the guards at the city gate saw the dress of the four people, without the slightest suspicion, and let them go.
The scenery in the city is very different, all the buildings are neat, and the buildings in each row are the same size and height. This is the first time Mu Tian has seen such an architectural style, and he can't help but be amazed.
At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and you can see the majesty and solemnity of this city more clearly.
When they entered the city, the first thing the four of them did was of course to fill their stomachs, came to a stall and sat down, ate a bowl of wontons, chatted idlely, and waited until it was dawn, and everyone made an appointment to meet at a place. Only then did they walk towards the mercenary union in the city.
To form a mercenary group, you must first register with the mercenary union and apply, and all of this will be left to the wolf fangs to do.
Mu Tian is precisely because the people are small, the goal is big, but in the deserted city, he has his own record of joining the wolf tooth mercenary group, if the business alliance receives the rumors, let alone talk about the big cause, it is a problem to get out alive. Therefore, Mu Tian specially instructed Wolf Tooth that the leader of the new mercenary group is still him, and the number of mercenary groups is three for the time being, not counting Mu Tian.
Idle, Mu Tian walked slowly on the street, looking at it with interest, at first I didn't think it, but now I look all the way, only to find that this city is by no means as calm as it seems on the surface, this is only the morning, there are many people in a hurry wearing all kinds of mercenary clothes walking back and forth, and from time to time there is a phenomenon of scolding each other, it seems that no one can obey anyone.
"It seems that it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in Wutiecheng. ”
Mu Tian secretly thought that the two sides of the scolding belonged to different mercenary groups, and the reason for this result must be a conflict of interest.
As if he had a feeling, Mu Tian gradually came to the ring where he was interested. The ring is round in shape, and it is built with the specialty of the Black Iron City, "Black Iron", and the pitch-black table shows that it is solid and stocky. Located in the middle of the square, it is convenient for the surrounding spectators to clearly see the people in the ring and witness the results of the battle.
At this time, there was no one in the ring, and there was no crowd of onlookers around, and everyone even walked to the vicinity of the ring, their voices were unconsciously lowered, and even the speed of walking was a beat slower.
This scene couldn't help but make Mu Tian doubt the situation described to him by the mercenary at the beginning, when the old man said that in the Iron Blood Empire, as long as there is a disagreement, he will issue a challenge, and life and death will be divided in the ring. And these are incompatible with the scene he just saw, it seems that everyone has a sense of awe in the ring, and even the mercenaries of the two parties who had some contradictions before did not make trouble in the ring.
Mu Tian thinks about it, who said that the life of a mercenary is not valuable? That is relative to the task, and only when he truly returns to human society can he feel the preciousness of life. No one will joke with their lives, even if there is usually some friction, but it is still to the point of life and death, endure it if you can, unless there is an irreconcilable contradiction, otherwise before you get into the ring, you want to give yourself a way out.
Mu Tian glanced at the lonely ring meaningfully, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If anyone forces themselves into the ring, then the consequences, think about it!"
Strode out of the square and continued to wander around. After a while, I came to a tall building, and saw people coming and going, and the sound was rolling out like a wave, flying into the distant sky.
If you don't watch it, you're not a hero. Mu Tian stepped forward and followed everyone's gaze, only to see a huge poster hanging on the wall on the side of the gate, under the four words "auction list", there are many names, magic core, pills, exercises, domain techniques... Applications have it all.
Mu Tian suddenly became interested, it turned out that this was an auction house, and it was estimated that it also belonged to the Shang Alliance. Mu Tian glanced at it, although the auctioned items did not have what he needed, but he was in urgent need of money, he also wanted to know the market, so he walked towards the gate with the flow of people.
Seeing his coarse cloth dress, the doorman stretched out his hand to stop him, "Boy, do you have an invitation?"
Mu Tian saw this kind of snobbery a lot, and said contemptuously: "What kind of bullshit is the invitation?
The doorman was immediately furious, and the kid who came out of nowhere didn't take him seriously at all, and he hurt people! It was unbearable, and he sneered: "It's not impossible to go in, as long as you can take out 10,000 gold coins." ”
Mu Tian was stunned for a moment, and said with a sad face: "I really don't have one." ”
The doorman was about to laugh a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back raw, and he was a little dazzled by a golden ticket, with the amount of money written on it that shocked him, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Can you go in?" Mu Tian said jokingly, taking back the golden ticket.
The doorman nodded as if he were pounding garlic, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes were a little green. With an embarrassed face, Mu Tian entered the auction hall.
The auction hall is not large, but it is also beautifully decorated, and this alone can be imagined to be the strength of the business alliance. The auction hall is divided into two floors, the upper floor is divided into a single room, which is a box set up for a special person, at this time the venue is full of people, bustling, Mu Tian found a corner in the back row and sat down, watching coldly, wondering if it is to wait for the time to go out, by the way to these people to "borrow" some money, who can come in who is not full of money.
At this moment, the field suddenly became dark, and the noise came to an abrupt end. In less than a moment, a large chandelier overhead emitted a soft red light, adding to the mystery.
On the high platform in front of the auction hall, a graceful and delicate young girl, dressed in revealing clothes, came in style. The atmosphere in the field rose again, and some people's faces instantly turned red, and under the reflection of the red light, there was a faint hideous desire.
Somewhere on Mu Tian's body, when he saw the girl in red, Huo Ran was firm, scolded in his heart, took a deep breath, and the little brother reluctantly gave up resistance and gradually softened.
The girl smiled affectionately, opened her mouth lightly, and the sound of devouring bones spread throughout the audience.
"Hello everyone, this auction is hosted by Xiaomei, I hope you will have more cheers!"
"Next, please come up with the first auction item, a monarch-level earth demon core. The reserve price is 200 gold coins, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than 50 gold coins, and the one with the highest price wins!"
"Two hundred!"
"Two hundred and five!"
"Four hundred!"
......
I don't know if these people really need this magic core, or if they are crazy about raising the price in order to show off in front of the girl.
In the end, he was auctioned by a middle-aged man at a high price of 1,500 gold coins, and the rest of the people looked at his arrogant look and shouted at the same time. That guy didn't realize it, and he was extremely proud.
The auction goes on, and with a good start, the following auction items can be auctioned at a high price, no matter what they are.
Mu Tian looked at all this coldly, and was no longer interested in this kind of auction, calculating the time, it was time for them to finish their work, glanced at the girl on the stage again, and turned around.
