Chapter 113: The Smell of Conspiracy

The black market is bustling, but no one is doing business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Contrary to what Hank said, there were not hundreds of stalls in the hall, only a makeshift platform with a banner made of inferior linen with a few large characters written on it:

"Auction!"

The high platform seemed to be full of things, each of which was covered with a black cloth, and no one knew what was hidden inside.

Some well-dressed and pale people, dressed as nobles, stood around the high platform, forming a human wall, a total of more than twenty, each with sharp eyes and not weak strength.

The hall was packed.

Hundreds of intelligent beings of all colors crowded the hall, all eagerly awaiting, their eyes all fixed on the high platform, very curious about what was covered under the black cloth.

Among these intelligent creatures, some of them are obviously very strong, for example, there is a human who is two meters and a half tall, who seems to have the blood of giants, and his muscles are strong, and his strength is definitely above 20 points!

But no one dared to go to the high platform to take a look.

Because this is the black market of Dark Blood Street, the territory of "Ripper" Lestat, no one dares to be presumptuous here!

As far as the eye could see, all the shops around were cleared and turned into separate rooms again, and on the door of each room, a wooden sign hung with a number of blood.

From the 1st to the 21st, the door was closed.

"Master!"

Hank's eyes lit up and he whispered, "There's a good show to watch!" The Dark Blood Street Black Market will hold a large auction from time to time, and a lot of good things will appear! The last time it was auctioned was two months ago, and there was a sword made by an ancient elf that fetched a whopping price of 1,500 gold coins! ”

"The auction will be held all day! Except for the auction items prepared on the black market, everyone else can take out the treasure to join the auction at any time, but the auction items must be appraised by the black market appraiser, and only items worth more than 10 gold coins can participate in the auction! Maybe the owner will be able to find what he is looking for at the auction! ”

It's an auction!

Gavin's eyes flickered.

Originally, he just wanted to buy the materials needed for the rebirth of flesh and blood, but he didn't expect to run into an auction.

Of course, the auction items will be more precious than usual, but I don't know if I will be able to find what I am looking for.

Anyway, since you're here, you might as well take a good look.

Maybe there will be something in the auction that interests you?

"Auction list, ten silver coins each." Someone is peddling auction listings, a blood-sucking derivative.

This vampire is well-dressed and polite, and looks like a nobleman in Pegasus City. But his pale face betrayed his identity.

In fact, it is likely that he really came from an aristocratic background.

Rumor has it that Lestat the Ripper was born into an aristocratic family in Pegasus City, but was not taken seriously.

After becoming a vampire, Lestat once went to Pegasus City and killed all the members of the family, some of them became vampire nobles, and some of them became vampire derivatives.

In other words, this vampire derivative who is peddling the auction list is likely to be a member of Lestat's clan.

It used to be.

And now, he is a servant of Lestat.

Lestat was a very good businessman.

Ten silver coins is not a small amount, but if you can know in advance what the auction items are, then you can naturally prepare in advance. There is no need to rob some unnecessary auction items, save gold coins to grab what you need.

The reserve price of the auction here is at least 10 gold coins, and those who are interested in competing will naturally not care about just ten silver coins.

Ten silver coins for one person, ten gold coins for a hundred people.

For Lestat, it's not a lot of money, but it's still an income after all, isn't it?

The confluence of the great rivers, this is how the money is made.

"Bring me one."

Gavin didn't say anything, and Hank took the initiative to pick up ten silver coins and buy an auction list.

The auction list is well made.

Gavin opened the checklist and took a closer look.

This auction was huge, with as many as fifty lots prepared on the black market alone, some of which were of extremely high value, roughly estimated to be more than a hundred gold coins.

Gavin noticed that the last auction item was a cold metal helmet that emitted a pale blue glow.

Next to the picture is the text description:

"Helm of Domination, the helmet of a Death Knight fifty years ago. It was a cursed helmet that later fell into the hands of a vampire duke, giving it blood-sucking powers. Only those who are strong-willed enough will be able to wear it. Its icy appearance makes ordinary people feel cold after looking at it. This helmet contains the will of the Death Knight, and anyone who looks at it can be at his disposal and become a slave of the helmet forever. At a time, the helmet can only dominate one minion. ”

A very powerful Tier 3 item.

According to the price of this world, the value of this helmet is at least more than 5000 gold coins, or even more.

Lestat actually took out such a valuable auction item, isn't he afraid of accidents?

This is a dark region, a dark region without morality and law!

When he learned that such an extraordinary object had appeared, Gavin did not believe that the other two giants of the slums could sit still, the powerful people in the rich districts could sit still, and the lonely high-level adventurers could sit still.

Play with fire?

Profit and wisdom are faint?

Gavin didn't believe that a vampire who had been on par with the Serpent King in just two years would make such a low-level mistake.

He smelled of conspiracy.

Gavin observed for himself and found that there were a large number of guards here, including quite a few pale vampires/vampires, at least 100 or more.

For such an important auction, it stands to reason that there should be more guards, but Gavin always felt something unusual.

He couldn't say anything was wrong, he was wrong.

"Master, it seems that a lot of strangers have come today." Hank said suddenly.

He said in a low voice: "The dark blood street black market is not as good as the black market in the rich area secretly manipulated by the city lord's mansion, the items sold here, as well as the items auctioned at the auction, are one grade lower than the black market in the rich area, so the reputation is also much worse." In the past, most of the people who came here to participate in the auction were wealthy people from Brimstone City. But today, there are a lot of strangers. ”

Brimstone City says it's not big, it's not small.

The total population of 40,000 or 50,000 people, this is still counting the floating population.

In such a large place, for people like Hank, those powerful people with names and surnames can basically recognize the same.

There are only one or two hundred of them in total, and Hank's memory is very good, and he can remember it after a few more glances.

But now there are many people he doesn't know.

Gavin looked around and noticed something unusual.

There are a lot of adventurers from the terrestrial world.

Those people are different from the permanent inhabitants of the dark regions, most of them are humans, and they are dressed in a bias towards the surface world, they are healthy, and they are very alert, and each of them is not weak.

"There's weirdness." Gavin nodded.

There are two possibilities.

One is that Lestat specially invited many adventurers to participate in the auction through his own channels, which is not very likely.

Gavin didn't believe that Lestat would have such a wide network, and adventurers rarely stayed in one place for too long, and it was not easy to gather so many adventurers.

The second is that there is something special, or something special, that attracts those adventurers.

What could it be?

Gavin pondered for a moment, and suddenly something came to mind.

Gavin's heart shuddered.

If, as he suspected, it was for that incident, then the plot of the mastermind behind it was too great.

Isn't she afraid of causing public outrage?

Isn't she worried about the adventurer's guild releasing a large-scale clearance mission?

She wasn't worried that the Pegasus Knights in Pegasus City, the Flame Lancers stationed there, and the Holy Warriors would join forces to fight?

Gavin thought of more.

He was looking forward to receiving Morgana's summons a day earlier.

He had to see the information he had asked her to help with as soon as possible!
