"We're almost all there."

The basement of the Oxen Auction House is a much larger space than the hall above, but many of the places in it are no longer within the scope of casual access for players and customers. Through the psychedelic passage reflected by the magic lights, many customers from all over the world are gathering towards one of the basements, but these scenes seem to be under the watchful eye of others: "We...... Isn't it possible to start too? ”

"Have all the people we invited here?"

"Most of the people arrived, but ......"

The two figures in the darkness looked at the image presented on the magic screen in front of them, and their words were filled with an unrecognizable cloudiness: "There are several important people who have not come. ”

“…… Hum. ”

As the light on the surface of the screen continued to flicker, one of the figures wearing a black butler's uniform gradually became clear: "The arrival of adventurers is a foil, it doesn't matter if those candidates for the throne come or not, but if the city lord and those people don't come......"

"This time the plan is meaningless."

"This plan was meant to be a gift of fate."

Another dark shadow replied in a low voice: "I also listened to the advice of a few adventurers to hold this large-scale auction, if the other party didn't come, it would just be a waste of this gift, hehehehe......"

"The restoration has already taken the road to prosperity, and the old El, presumably, did not have time to understand what we were doing, so he lost this opportunity...... We have a next time, and a next time. The black shadow of the butler's appearance slowly lowered his head: "It's just that I originally thought that the city lord who likes 'freedom' would be interested in the auction proposed by the adventurer, but I didn't expect that in the end, he didn't come......"

"You don't have to blame yourself, maybe it's just because of what happened last night." Another dark shadow replied in a low voice: "The city lord at this time may be busy dealing with the aftermath of those anxious matters, so you don't have to feel too inferior to your plan because of the shadow of the past......"

"Humph!"

As if mentioning his sore spot, the guy in the black dress covered his shoulder, but the humiliating anger in his eyes slowly extinguished after a period of suppression: "Adventurer...... Hmph, they won't have a chance to interfere with our plans again. ”

"We should pay attention to the existence of adventurers." Another dark shadow pointed to the gradually increasing number of visitors in the hall of the screen, and nodded with a little emotion: "This is one of the experiences I have summed up after many years of wandering in this city, although they are very weak, they are not afraid of death, and every time they reach a critical moment, they can always create many miracles......

“…… Are you going to grovel to these weak populations? ”

"No, I don't want to bow down to them, I mean...... Exploit. ”

Reaching out and clicking on the figures of some of the players in the center of the screen, the man's voice took on a slight smug look: "They have never been united, and even more so in Free City, if we can show our strength and promise great profit, the threat of these adventurers is not to be feared at all, they themselves ...... will solve themselves. ”

"Like those scapegoats?"

"It's like those scapegoats."

Lying down behind his seat, the Black Shadow's voice was filled with another form of longing: "If the Magic Empire can be rebuilt, who will not be our servants?" The lords of empires, principalities, free cities, and these adventurers who lead the way for us...... Which one is not in our scope? For the sake of the great cause, temporary tolerance is worth it, and as long as we can get our own future, their submission can only be a doomed fate. ”

"Let them get lost in their daydreams, and our plans will come true." Finally, he said in a low voice: "This auction is a proof of this, you should stay here and recuperate, and by the way, enjoy the performance of the adventurers, their greed and distrust...... It's going to be in front of your eyes right away. ”

“…… Their greedy and aggressive personalities have been seen many times before. The black shadow in the black butler's uniform was silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "I don't know if the plans of those guys in the empire are going well......"

"Don't worry, they have a great advantage at the moment, plus the containment of Old El...... Well? ”

The voices of the two men paused abruptly, and at the same time stared at the center of the frame, where the figures of several players were gradually appearing, and then led into the hall of the auction by a merchant. The clothes and costumes belonging to the adventurers will not attract anyone's attention in this place full of money and power, but there are still many people's attention attracted by those players, and in the private rooms that belong to several players' guilds, there are also bursts of discussion and orders: "Look at it...... That person is Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, right? ”

"Wings of Liberty guys...... How did you come all the way to get here? ”

"How did they get in? And the players next to them......"

"You guys go outside and check the list of participants in this auction......"

There was a slight fluctuation in the gorgeous auction hall because of the appearance of Duan Qing and others, and then gradually stopped with the decisions made by several guilds, but the guy who knew some of the inside information still did not stop talking about it: "Those few people ...... Is that the guy you guys you met out there before? ”

"Including Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Whispering Liuyu, they all showed up in last night's battle."

Mephisto, who was sitting in the private room, nodded faintly, and at the same time glanced at the figure of a certain man next to him: "So I disgusted them a little just now......"

“…… We are no longer the Devil's Paradise we used to be, at least we must maintain basic respect for the strong. The man who was shaking the wine glass with Erlang's legs tilted his head and pondered for a while, but his voice was full of nonchalant emotion: "If we can learn from Vizad and have the opportunity to invite a few strong players to join us, Devil's Paradise may be able to get rid of the embarrassing position of always being at the bottom of the league rankings......"

"It's impossible, you just die." Mephisto squinted at each other, then pointed to a room not far from them, "Have you forgotten ......?"

"Do you have a relationship with those guys?"

In the room not far from them, a player who had been staring outside for a long time also slowly lowered the curtain in front of him, and then turned around angrily and slapped the "corpses" of the two players next to him: "Get up!" Don't play dead! Do you know ...... people at the venue?"

"Whew...... Let me sleep a little longer......"

"Aren't there still a lot of empty seats......

"Empty your sister! Get up for me! ”

The player named Yun Jingbu knocked the other two players off their recliners with three punches and two kicks, and at the same time pointed to the scene outside where the voices were gradually boiling, and said, "That woman is here too!" ”

"Who is that woman......" The red-haired man rubbing his eyes blew on the bubbles in his mouth, but suddenly woke up after a while: "That woman? ”

"What the old devil said before is true?" Another fat man named Immortal Star Soul also hurriedly climbed up: "She's actually back?" ”

"Not only did they come back, but they also brought a couple of reinforcements."

Yun Jingbu, who stretched out his head again and stared in the direction of Duan Qing and the others, said without looking back: "One man and two women, one of them is dressed very uniquely...... Hmm, that man seems to be a little familiar, isn't it the one that appeared in the competition uniform during the audition before...... Hey? ”

"Isn't that guy Snow Spirit Phantom Ice?" He suddenly shouted, "Could it be that woman has joined forces with Wings of Freedom?" ”

"What?"

"Wings of Liberty coming to our City of Freedom?"

The two players who were completely awakened finally ran to the window of the private room, and began to fight for the position of the window with their respective bodies: "Isn't it chaotic enough for me to think the world, and a group of neurotics next to me have just begun to make independent ......"

"Hey, maybe that's one of their plans! While we turn our attention to the Restorationists, look for an opportunity to settle in the City of Freedom......"

"In order to make the plan go smoothly, they sent an advance team, and they also found a guide who was familiar with the local area, and this person was the ...... of the whisperers."

"Wow, it's too insidious, it's too ruthless, only that woman can think of such a plan...... Oops, don't squeeze don't squeeze ......"

Bang!

Next to the position of several people, the door of the private room was suddenly opened forcefully, and the angry madman with the double sword on his back immediately walked into the room, and then glanced at a certain fat man who was lying on the ground with his head covered by the impact of the door: "How many of you...... What to say? ”

"The Lord is coming, the Lord is coming!" The red-haired demon resurrection hurriedly kicked away the fat man at his feet, and at the same time pulled the instructor who had been training them strictly for the past few days to the window: "Come and tell me, what is that woman's evil purpose?" ”

"Evil purpose?" The Twin Sword Warriors were slightly stunned for a moment, and then followed Yun Shock's fingers to look in a certain direction in the center of the hall: "Oh, they...... I do not know. ”

"Don't know? So you blew your hair last night? ”

"Shouldn't you go out for another night and then come up with a drunken madness?"

"Frogs, they told me just now, you're still walking with that woman......"

"And that Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, they're all together! Don't tell me you ran over just to tease you......"

"Less nonsense!"

Finally, he couldn't suppress the bruises on his face, and the angry madman yelled and suppressed everyone's voices: "No matter what he meows nonsense, I will run ten kilometers of cross-country with weights when I turn around!" And who is Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and what does she have to do with us here......"

"Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice." Yun frightened and tapped his arm: "It's the one from the Wings of Freedom, the opponent of the final we just finished fighting......"

"Oh, that woman."

The man with the two swords, who finally had a hint of impression, scratched his head, and replied with a muttered mouth: "Labor and management have seen Liuyu, where is the kung fu to take care of others...... Well, I mean, our team finals aren't head-to-head, and it's not normal to forget about your opponents! ”

"Also...... Rest assured, as far as I know...... They shouldn't have anything to do with it. ”

"Huh?"

"I said they shouldn't have anything to do with Wings of Freedom."

Putting his gaze back on the direction where Duan Qing and the others were sitting, the angry madman said indifferently, "Those people ......"

"Looks like I'm here on a mission."

************************

A lavish stage, colorful magic lights, beautiful waiters, and expensively dressed bidders...... With the passage of time and the deliberate creation of the atmosphere there, an exciting-looking, adrenaline-pumping equipment auction appeared in front of everyone, under the backdrop of all kinds of lights and shouting. With the appearance of an auctioneer dressed strangely and with a strange voice, this auction that does not know the quality and quantity of lots has officially begun, but for Duan Qing at this moment, this is not the first auction he has encountered in his gaming career, nor is it the most gorgeous auction he has ever seen.

The only thing he saw in this auction was the extent to which the word "illegal" could go.

"The King of Binikil from the north of the Free Continent! A jewel for the Imperial Family! Whoever owns it will have the same luxury as the Emperor! ”

"Perrylom Potion, a whole box of potent potions! Freshly baked alchemy products! With just a few drops, all the men here can reinvigorate the majesty you've never felt before! Show the most magnificent charm of being a man! ”

"The Horn of O'Harry, from the horn of the O'Harry Dragon in the Andachel Mountains! The highest grade material sought by a mage, the sharpest weapon prototype in the hands of a warrior! But be careful, the seller of this item has not been approved by the Mage Council and the Warrior House, so please bear the trouble caused by this......"

"From the Irphs of the Northern Highlands! Female! A slave who has just been sold by pirates! They are so touching, they are homeless! Who is fortunate enough to bring them back to their homes to be baptized by the 'civilization' of the Free Continent? ”

"Although I'm glad you were able to bring us to this place......"

Dumbfounded as he looked at the "goods" that appeared on the auction stage, Duan Qing muttered to a businessman beside him: "But this kind of auction is really a bit too eye-opening......

"Free City is such a place, you have to learn to adapt." Gar, who was rubbing his hands together, looked at the few adventurers around him who were also silent, and replied to Duan Qing with a smile: "Once you accept it...... Maybe you'll be interested in these things too. ”

"Perhaps."

Looking around at the auctioneers who were constantly holding up their number plates, Duan Qing sighed and said, "But even if we are interested, we don't have that much money." ”

"Oh, and the Gard Chamber of Commerce also runs a loan business." The smile on the old man's face became even bigger: "For everyone's sake...... I can give you a ninety-fifty percent discount. ”

"Forget it, anyway, it's probably the money from selling our truckload of goods."

Retracting his gaze from the few women on the stage who were being auctioned off as goods, Duan Qing pouted and replied, "Anyway, we paid such a big price...... Did you do that? ”

"That's, hahahaha...... That ...... that"

The old man's eyes kept flickering, and finally he shook his hands at the next item that appeared on the stage: "Let's watch the auction first, I believe ......"

"You adventurers will be very interested in what follows."
