Chapter XXVI: Black Market Auctions
The cold pool is deeply locked, and above it is a huge funnel stone cliff, and the ghostly light sways down from the standing wall, as if flying from the sky, reflecting this dark corner.
There are such wonders in the dark world, so how can people not sigh at the magic of nature. On the surrounding walls, there are countless caves densely distributed, and there is often a ghostly light flashing at the entrance of the cave.
This is the auction hall of the black market in the long corridor, behind these countless caves is a deep secret passage, and the light curtain is a magic array, which can cover up the traces, and others can't see the situation inside even if they stand on the opposite side, and this ten thousand feet of high wall, the magic array can also see the lot below. If the auctioneer wants to break this magic array, it is not so simple, I don't know how many masters can be hidden in this dark corner, if there are no guards, no one will believe it.
There is a big mountain stone in the middle of the cold pool, roughly cut out a platform, don't look at the simplicity of this platform, the carved formation is a teleportation formation, just like the Hero Chamber of Commerce auction office, but the teleportation distance is far away. Don't look at the difference in the teleportation distance, but in fact it is very different, the price of the material alone is more than a hundred times different, this teleportation array is within the scope of this auction, the buyer has won something, put the bid on the teleportation array in the cave, and after the auctioneer appraises, the lot will naturally go to the buyer's hand.
"Ding Ding"
The bell rings six, and the auction begins.
"The first piece, Hantan stalactites, an enamel bottle, B-class high-grade, low price of five hundred, each increase of twenty, start."
Without any politeness, the middle-aged man on the land in the lake began the auction.
The bell began to ring frequently, each time indicating a price increase. This Hantan stalactite is a specialty of the corridor, there will be some in every auction, and many low-level medicines will use this, which is a relatively rare blending agent, and it is also a practice of the corridor auction to start with it.
The man in black was still dressed like that, and he didn't show his face in this place, he was in one of the caves more than ten zhang high, a futon, a desk, a cup of tea, a small clock on his right hand, and the magic shield in front of him was like a mirror, and he could see it very clearly. But he didn't seem to be in high spirits, he only liked two or three things, and it was still early.
He rubbed his right hand against the cup and looked up. Because it was a huge funnel-shaped hole, it was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and as long as he sat outside, he could look up and see the blue light. At this time, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was a little distracted, as if he turned into a wisp of green smoke, penetrated the magic array, and slowly drifted towards the high place, he floated higher and higher, faster and faster, until the ghostly light seemed to be right in front of him.
Suddenly, he was freed from that strange state, sweating profusely and panting like a cow for a moment. He didn't understand how the trance just now was caused, just a short thought seemed to consume a lot of his physical strength and spirit, just like magic was instantly emptied, that feeling of powerlessness lingered in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't sway it. He wasn't sure what had just happened, and he didn't know what he was seeing at that glance, it seemed to be a vast sea of stars, or it seemed to be just a star.
Far above, close to the blue, there are some caves here, just a lot more sparse, but even the most precious auctioneers are far, far away from here.
In one of the caves, there was a young woman sitting in a big red shirt, which looked extremely dazzling in this treacherous place. Behind her stood a young man, his expression a little strange and a little vain.
"Interesting." The woman in red said, her tone was very light, as if a wisp of wind could swallow such a voice.
"It hasn't been like this in over a decade?"
"yes, the last time was sixteen years ago."
"Master, do you want to check it out?"
"Forget it, it's just that some of the tentacles of consciousness touch the outermost periphery, and the magic is very sparse, so just send someone to stare at some."
The old man in black leaned against the stone wall, gasping hard, and it took a long time to recover, his face still pale. Only then did he have time to think about what that glimpse was, which was by no means a past that could be explained by a daydream, and although he felt weak, upon closer inspection, the magic was still abundant, and there was no sign of overconsumption, and only mental and physical strength was lost. He raised his hands and slapped his face, and suddenly, he froze, something was wrong, and suddenly he stepped back, far into the darkness behind the hollow. He raised his hands and saw a pair of pale palms, and his face under the darkness was also very young, it was Kevin!
Kevin's heart was shocked, he didn't understand, this set of equipment is a rare camouflage magic tool in the world, in addition to being able to camouflage the body and appearance, it can also change a person's breath, it is definitely the highest level of camouflage equipment, how did he get out of that state, he carefully operated the magic, and under a little bit of circulation, he returned to his original appearance. He waited a quarter of an hour, and saw that nothing had changed, before he walked back into the light, only with his hood lowered.
He slowly let his mind spin, and the most important thing was why he would quit the disguise, because this equipment was very important in his future plans. It can even be said that without it, all his plans will be affected to a greater or lesser extent, and to find such a whole set of things, I don't know how many years of accumulation and luck it will take, may not be able to get it together. He cleared his mind and carefully recalled the changes in his body just now, what had changed? Could it be that the old man did something with the equipment? He closed his eyes, and a trace of magic came out of his body, wandering through his body, then carefully wandering among the magic equipment.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, a little helpless. In terms of cultivation experience, he is really lacking, let alone analyzing magic props, he doesn't have that ability at all, at most he can detect the anomaly of magic flow, but if it is the old man's hands and feet, how can he be found so easily. He tried to calm down and skip this assumption for the time being, if it wasn't done by the old man, what else could it be?
He once again couldn't help but think of the loss of consciousness just now, this question was a matter of life and death, he even forgot about the auction completely, just sat there in a daze, restrained the fear in his heart, and tried to recall the feeling of that moment just now, every detail, but soon, he gave up, because that memory was too short, too vague, he had no direction at all. In the end, he could only rely entirely on speculation, thinking back to all the books he had read in the past, even anecdotal stories, whether there were any similar ones, and he was patient and looked for the thread behind the facts little by little.
