Chapter 30: The Ocean Coin Incident

As a wealthy and open harbor city, the Arch of the Seven Gods has countless treasures flowing into it, and many people who come and go in and out of the harbor every day are people who come to sell treasures or have already sold their treasures. However, in such a city, the auction industry is not really prosperous. This is not a contradiction, because there is only one auction house that can really thrive here.

The Seven Gods Auction House is a direct industry of the seven major forces in the main city, and it undoubtedly receives the most support and attention, as long as the goods in this city are almost all "filtered" by them, and the filtered goods will be handed over to those smaller auction houses. Before accepting the "filter", no matter how precious the treasure is, except for some underground auction houses, no other auction house dares to accept it, and everyone knows what the consequences will be if the business of the seven major forces is affected.

It is true that this is a blatant monopoly, but so what? This is their territory, and such a method is already very gentle. At least those things that are not eye-catching to the auction house will be generously given to other auction houses, which can be regarded as giving them a bite to eat.

Although there is no dictatorship in this city that believes in freedom and equality. But if you have lived here for a while, you will understand that the rulers are divided into seven, equally or unequally, from one.

But it has to be said that these seven rulers are much more interesting than the one in Wildfire City in handling many events, such as the Seven Gods Auction House. It wasn't just the auction items that made the gold owners with gold coins come and go, but the thing that attracted them the most was the seemingly inconspicuous coin - the Ocean Coins.

According to the regulations, the Seven Gods Auction House will only hold an auction at the end of each month, and at these auctions, there may be an additional giveaway attached to a random auction item, that is, Ocean Coins.

Ocean Coin, a currency created by the Seven Great Forces. In terms of the definition of "money", Ocean Coin is not even comparable to a copper plate, in other words, it can buy everything in this city and even in this sea. This coin is used to buy the combat power of the seven major forces, and the person who holds this coin can ask the seven major forces to mobilize their forces to assist him at any time during the year.

This is an iron law set by the seven major forces, and it has never changed. And it turns out that in the past every time the Ocean Coin was used, in order to complete the entrustment of the Ocean Coin holders, the seven major forces would send more than two force cadres to it. So, not once, the Ocean Coin will return in vain.

It is precisely in order to continue this tradition that Ocean Coin also comes with another attribute, that is, the personal safety of the coin holder before using Ocean Coins. Yes, holding Ocean Coin is not only a manifestation of identity and status, but, more importantly, during that time, the Seven Forces will guarantee the safety of the holder, at least as long as they are within the Seven Arches.

That coin, so to speak, is both a sharp dagger and a reliable talisman. How tempting it is to mobilize the cadres of the seven major forces and to obtain their protection. For this reason, how many people want to try their luck in the auction house, or deliberately strive for it.

It was such an inconspicuous coin that invisibly doubled the income of the Seven Gods Auction House. However, few people can see that this thing, which is called a "lucky coin", can actually bring endless disasters to people.

Because Ocean Coin involves too many things of the seven major forces, financial resources, manpower and even internal operations. Therefore, any incident involving Ocean Coin will not be a small event. What's more, it was the theft of the Ocean Coin...... This can be said to be a major event that can trigger "divine punishment"!

"Ocean Coins appear randomly? This is indeed very appetizing, and there will indeed be many people who pay for it. However, twelve months a year, if the Ocean Coin appears too early, the rest of the time, won't anyone pay for it? On the other hand, in order to make the business prosperous in the future, keep the ocean coins at the end of the year and issue them, then in the first half of the year, there will be no fools who will pay for it, right? Listening to the popular science of Ying's knowledge, Yu Yi couldn't help but think of one of the loopholes and asked.

Ying shook his head: "You can think of anything, the people of the Seven Gods Auction House naturally don't know." The number of Ocean Coins issued in a year is not fixed, and no one says that only one Ocean Coin will be issued in a year. There are 12 Ocean Coins in total, and it can be said that those in power can issue one Ocean Coin at every auction without interruption as long as those in power are willing. Although they claim that whether or not the Ocean Coin is issued is completely a lottery decision, and every auction has the same chance, but who knows? The truth is not only known to the seven of them. ”

"Even if you say that, it's still not right." Yu Yi was a little obsessed with this topic for no reason, "Anyway, after the Ocean Coin appears once, the business of the auction house should be greatly discounted because of this, right?" After all, something so precious can't happen too often. ”

In this regard, Ying also no longer refutes: "It should be like this, I don't know much about this." But what I do know is that the business of the Seven Gods Auction House should be evergreen all year round, and I have not heard of any low periods. It is true that the items auctioned in the month after the appearance of Ocean Coin will be much simpler, but there may still be many people who are willing to try their luck at these cheaper lots. After all, there are exceptions to everything, and the successive occurrence of ocean coins has not happened unexpectedly. ”

"Just like this time," Yu Yi said, spreading out the newspaper, and the time of the last appearance of the Ocean Coin was written on the corner. Such a small number may be a reason for some people to sell newspapers. "Ocean coins have already appeared last month, and this month...... If I'm not mistaken, it's not the end of the month yet, is it? The auction should not have taken place yet. ”

Listening to the other party's words, Ying couldn't help but stare at him: "Nonsense, even after the Ocean Coin is bought, it is not called theft, it is called a coin snatching incident." If that's the case, the movement of the seven major forces will be even greater, and it's definitely not what you saw just now, so I'll find a few minions to track it down. However, in any case, the Ocean Coin is a piece of the scale of the Seven Great Forces, and everything related to it will inevitably anger them. ”

"What we're going to save is a thief who stole Ocean Coins. In other words, saving Pearl is fighting against the seven forces that rule the city? From the introduction of the silver-haired woman, Yu Yi finally had a deeper understanding of the so-called Ocean Coin and the Seven Gods Auction House. However, there are some things that may feel easier to do without knowing anything. At least now, he was feeling the pressure slightly.

"It's not just in this main city, you underestimate the seven major forces too much. They can get far more places than you think, and maybe they can go all the way to the elves' hometown. Shadow didn't mean to scare, she was just telling the objective facts. She announced along with Bai Siling's share, "But since it is your decision, no matter what we will face, we will follow it." ”

"I'm lucky to have met you." Yu Yi didn't want the atmosphere to be so heavy, so he changed the conversation and asked, "But there are a few questions that I don't quite understand." There should be very few auctions of Ocean Coins in succession, and this time it was stolen in advance when it was rare, and I don't think it was the thief's luck. He must have known the exact time of the appearance of the Ocean Coins. And according to what you said, the time of the appearance of the Ocean Coin should be an internal secret, right? ”

"That's natural, only except for the seven leaders, no one will know in advance when the Ocean Coin will appear." Shadow replied decisively.

"Well, as far as I know, although Pearl is a little different from ordinary people after going through some things, it is limited to agility and strength. I don't think she's going to be able to do something like stealing Ocean Coins. If nothing else, a top secret like the appearance time of the Ocean Coin is already unknown to her, isn't it? ”

"What do you mean......"

"I don't think Pearl would be the one who stole Ocean Coins. Even if there is, there must be someone behind her. And this person is definitely a person within the Seven Great Forces, and he should be the person that the Seven Great Forces really want to find now. Yu Yi gritted his teeth and said. The thought that Pearl might have been someone else's scapegoat for no reason tickled his teeth.

In this regard, Ying smiled disdainfully: "What does it mean to you to know this?" Do you think that after catching the culprit behind the scenes, they will let the little girl go? Having said that, so much, the battle is still unavoidable. If you have the time to think about the useless, you might as well think about where they will take people. ”

"Don't you know?" Yu Yi asked with a surprised face.

"How could I possibly know that?" Shadow asked angrily.

"Well, get used to it. I've always felt that there's nothing you don't know. Yu Yi touched his head and said. Now he was a little annoyed, he was a little sluggish before. After listening to Ei's explanation, he realized that Pearl said those unpleasant things because he didn't want him to get into trouble. If he had forcibly taken Pearl away at that time, there should not have been such a troublesome thing now, anyway, the final result would be to provoke the seven major forces.

Ying straightened his silver hair and said, "If you really can't think of it, break into the auction house, even if all three of us die in battle, we may not be able to see that little girl." She paused, "Besides, I think if we go late, you won't be happy to see that little guy, those torture methods are really ......"

"Torture?!" Yu Yi interrupted, "Isn't it like what is written in the newspaper, prisoners will just be executed in public?" ”

"That's the treatment of thieves, hanging naked at the door of the auction house, exposed to the sun for three days. If you are still alive, you will be skinned in public. The feeling of wanting to die sooner rather than just alive is also a painful torture......" Ying saw that Bai Siling's face on the side was a little wrong, and he was going to stop there, but in order to tell the deed owner the truth, he continued to say:

"But, like you said, that little guy she's not just a thief now. In those people's eyes, she should know something else, so they will give her some other 'care' first. The most unfortunate thing is that if she is really innocent, then she will taste every kind of torture, unless ......"

"Alright, that's enough, I got it!" Yu Yi stopped a little hurriedly, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, don't waste time, let's go and save people!" ”

"Are you really in a hurry and forgot the question just now? To save people, where will people be imprisoned? Shadow reminded faintly.

"Where? Where? Damn it! Yu Yi angrily smashed the stone wall of the alley with his fist, and the huge force made the stone wall quickly become pitted. He knew that he would not be able to do this, but after remembering the agreement between Pearl and himself, he just couldn't control his emotions.

In the midst of the beast tide, he abandoned the village of Mesbo once. Pearl miraculously survived, and saved him once. And this time, Pearl really needs help, but at this time, he can't even find the direction to save people......

"I thought, I know where."

At this time, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the alleyway.

The three of them raised their heads at the same time and followed the sound. I don't know when, a rickety figure was already standing there quietly.

The first question after reacting was, of course, "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... It's what you just said, the person the seven forces are looking for. The man with the thick wooden cane replied in a slightly muffled voice.

"It's you?! Bastard! I'll kill you! Yu Yi was angry at this time, and waved his fist at the man as he spoke.

The man in the black hooded robe and the man standing there in the cloak didn't mean to retreat at the punch, and stood still in place. And the fist, in the end, did not hit him.

I don't know if Yu Yi controlled his emotions in time, or the hand on his arm had an effect, in short, the fist stopped in time. "What are you doing here?"

"As I said earlier, I know where they're holding people." The mysterious guy said.

"So what? What do you want to be able to tell me the place? "For this guy, Yu Yi naturally can't be pleasant.

The man just turned around and said, "As you said, now is not the time to waste time. Let's go. ”

After taking two steps to himself, the man seemed to realize that the three people behind him had no intention of following, and then added: "I just want to rescue that child, she is innocent." I do things in a way that never implicates innocent people. Believe it or not, time is running out. ”
