Chapter 355: Champs-Élysées Auction House

Two female mercenaries and a "Night Raven Catcher" walk under the scorching sun, the strong light and sweltering temperatures make people feel that they are in a magical space.

As the name suggests, the magic space is the space created by mobilizing the mysterious energy of the eight winds of magic, which can be regarded as a parallel world, even ordinary people can live normally in it, but outsiders can't detect their existence at all.

The most typical example is the Imperial Academy of Magic of "Aldolph".

Eight different styles of magic academies were scattered throughout the capital, six of which were hidden in magical spaces, almost each of which consisted of a magnificent complex of buildings, but under the cover of a magical barrier by the hands of the High Elves, it was as if it did not exist.

Such a huge space, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, has disappeared under the noses of ordinary people, and it is difficult to find a trace.

Of course, the volume of the magic space is directly proportional to the difficulty of its creation, not all levels of mages can make it, so far, only the high elves and demon toad priests who have mastered high magic can do it, but the latter will definitely not spend precious mana and time on this, and the former, only the top supreme mages can do it.

The Imperial Academy of Magic, also because the empire and the High Elves were in the honeymoon period after the "Great Holy War", the emperor "Pious" Magnus personally asked the speaker of the "Magister Council", His Excellency Tygris, to complete the construction.

However, due to the harsh conditions for building the magic space, in addition to the special requirements for the geographical location, a lot of valuable materials were consumed in the whole process, and in the end, the owner of the "Hoth White Tower" led dozens of high-level mages under his command to work together, and only succeeded in creating six magic spaces, which is already terrifying today when the high elves have lost their former glory.

Therefore, in terms of function and manufacturing difficulty, magic space can be called priceless, especially a magic space as large as the Imperial Academy of Magic, which is comparable in scale to a medium-sized town.

And now the "Ruins of the Three Towers" where Brienne and the others are located is even larger than the "Jade Academy", which covers the most extensive area among the six Imperial Magic Academies.

This can be said that the owner of this place has really picked up a treasure.

Eight streets divide the entire black market into dozens of blocks, and there are large vacant lots waiting to be developed around it, which is one of the important reasons why the "Three Towers Ruins" can flourish in the future and become the largest black market in the empire.

The Champs-Élysées auction house is located in the thirteenth block in the center of the entire black market, and if you look at the location, you can see that this is a building that appeared almost at the same time as the black market, and there is no doubt that it is firmly in the top spot in the auction world of the "Three Towers Market", and all the high-end goods that flow into the black market will appear here.

Today, as in the past, there will be a huge auction, and for this event, people even handed out flyers on the streets ten days ago, which shows how much attention is paid to it.

It is said that this time it also attracted the attention of several chairmen of the "Ruins Council", including the head of the council, who will attend in person.

When Brienne, Fitandila, and Old Bones arrived in the neighborhood from the tavern north of the city to the auction house, the door was already filled with ornate decorations or strange style of transportation, and the flow of people was constantly pouring into the three-story Gothic building, and the funniest thing was that on the outer wall of the third floor, there was also a well-painted banner.

"A rare and rare lot in a century, from the mysterious and dangerous Luschian Rainforest!!"

If an auction house wants to gain a foothold in the black market and crush other peers, convenient location, excellent service, and exquisite decoration are only the basics, in addition, the more important thing is that it can come up with auction items worthy of the excitement of various characters every once in a while, this may be a rune weapon from a dwarven rune blacksmith, maybe it is the most cutting-edge mechanical invention of a certain family of Skaven rats, or a demonic stump excavated from a certain ruin, of course, not only dead things, when a nun from the Imperial Sigmar Church, Or the appearance of the pearl in the palm of the noble lord of Bretonnia can also arouse the interest of some big people with special fetishes, and they are willing to pay a lot of dimensional stones for it.

Yes, in a high-class place like the Champs-Élysées, the starting price of all auction items is in dimensional stones, and no gold coins are accepted, only dimensional stones can be used.

Isn't it the dimensional stone, for a certain greenskin who has a mine at home, no, for a Norsca beauty, it's right in the middle.

The three of them walked into the auction house, and before they had time to admire the rich and gorgeous crystal chandelier above their heads, they were ushered into the hall on the first floor by a waiter dressed in tuxedo with the invitation card in Brienne's hand.

They found a dimly lit remote spot and stood up, not long before the auction began, and the rest of the hall, especially near the stage, was already full of buyers of all races.

The internal structure of the auction house is very simple, the first floor is a wide hall and display stage, and the second and third floors have some private rooms on both sides and opposite the stage, which are specially used by big people who have a certain strength and are unwilling to show their heads.

As for how to become a big shot, it's very simple, prove that you have enough Dimension Stones, and you will get a special gilded invitation, which will be taken directly to the second floor and enjoy delicious drinks and food.

Third floor? If you want to go there, it's not just as simple as having money, and the people who can go there don't need an invitation card to prove their identity, just their own face is enough.

None of this made sense to Brienne, though, as their target wasn't the auction item, but the three gray-robed humans in the front right.

Sure enough, as with the information they got from Halbert, they came.

In the early hours of the morning, Brienne went to the Thieves' Guild to wait for Halbert to return from her job as a janitor, and spent ten ounces of dimensional stones to get the news of the Broken Wheel from the Thief Master.

The blonde mercenary proved to be right, and after only three hours of waiting, a note full of information about the three Chaos Cultists was already in front of her, along with an ordinary invitation from the Champs-Elysées.

"There are three middle-aged men, two of whom are middle-level silver swordsmen, above the lower position, and one is a six-ring shadow mage, all of whom belong to the "Broken Wheel", according to the strength of the judgment should be the lowest "wheel side", suspected to be from the capital" Aldolph ", two days ago entered the "Ruins of the Three Towers", all of them entered for the first time, and rarely went out after staying in the "Li Xingchen", judging from the time they opened the hotel room, they should leave tonight, and when they first came, they inquired with the innkeeper about the location of the "Champs Elysées Auction House", Combined with the departure time, it can be judged that they are coming for the auction. ”

Brienne tucked the note back into her pocket, stared at the three people not far away, and whispered:

"Professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, let's take a good look at what you chaotic dog mongrels came all the way to, but don't let me down."
