Chapter 66: The Jewel of Arkena
Huge wealth fell from the sky, and most people were either stoned to death or half scared to death, but Cizer was clearly not an ordinary person.
At this time, he was thinking about whether to buy a sword like the previous flaming sword, of course, he didn't use it for himself, but planned to give it away.
In addition to the budget for the gift to Susan, Cizer also plans to send Monet a little more, having heard that his teacher's potion shop has gone bankrupt due to poor management, and he has been having a hard time lately.
Although Cizer also sent his savings back little by little, it still couldn't change Monet's recent predicament.
What's next......
Cizer was thinking about taking Coco to eat a good meal, such as the blue krill in the imperial capital, which was good, and I heard that it was generally larger than that in Helan City.
While Cizer was immersed in the world of imagination, the auction had reached its final stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, some of you must have heard of the finale of our auction, and some of the guests came here for this thing. Then here's our last lot, the Arcna Jewel!"
The auctioneer's words brought the audience to a climax, and it seemed that the vast majority of people had a strong interest in this strange gem. But the embarrassing thing is that Cizer has never heard of this thing.
He turned his head to look at Diablo and found that he was also looking at him blankly.
Cizer couldn't help but hold his forehead, what kind of madness did he have to expect Diablo to know more than himself!
But fortunately, his doubts were quickly answered by the auctioneer on the stage.
"Guys, there may be people who haven't heard of this gemstone, and there may be people who just hearsay and don't know what it really does. So let me introduce you in detail. ”
The auctioneer did not rush to show them, but slowly told a little story.
"Legend has it that the goddess of creation once conceived two children, one called light and the other called darkness. Light and darkness are very good brothers, always inseparable. One day, the goddess of creation asked them to each create a race.
As the elder brother of the light, he created a race with wings on his back and feathers reflecting the sun's brilliance, named Angel. The younger brother has created a race that can absorb all the light, they are all pitch-black, and they also have wings on their backs, but they have horns at the tip of their heads, and a long tail that they call demons.
Guangming was puzzled, feeling that such an ugly race did not deserve to live in the world, and he did not understand why his brother had created such a race.
The younger brother replied, "Where is there no ugliness, how can there be beauty?"
Feeling ashamed, the light wiped off the angel's wings and reduced them to mortality. Seeing this, the darkness also removed the wings, sharp horns, and tail of the demons, and knocked them down to the world.
The goddess of creation was moved by their friendship and created a true angel, the twelve-winged serapher, Gabriel. With a demon with sharp horns and a tail, the Lord of Hell, Satan.
From then on, angels are in charge of life in the mortal world, and demons are in charge of death in the mortal world, maintaining the balance of the mortal world and never interfering.
But there is an unavoidable loophole in this rule, and that is the existence of life and death. As more and more immortals appeared, the order of the mortal world was disrupted, and the goddess of creation had to make rules again.
Let him who is about to fall asleep forever, and let him who does not want to wake up not wake up again.
All the undead exposed to light and darkness will turn into a gem that represents mystery and power, and those who get it can have everything that the undead have!"
Cizer listened to the story quietly, and did not have any special thoughts, except that the person who made up the story seemed to have a good impression of darkness.
However, the previous story was all about setting the stage for the final Alkena gem, which represents everything an immortal has to offer, including power and knowledge, which is probably the auctioneer's intention in telling this story.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Alkena gem has been inherited in an orderly manner, and it was incarnated by the alchemist William three hundred years ago. Get it, and you'll have the wisdom of a top alchemist! With it, you'll become a guest of honor among the empire's major families! Master it, and you'll have the power to refine the Philosopher's Stone and become the next immortal!"
The atmosphere of the scene has been completely stirred up by the auctioneer, and the eyes of countless people are radiating a blazing light.
What a tempting thing it is to not die!
But Cezel's knowledge of alchemy told him that it was impossible. Legend has it that the culmination of alchemy is the selage stone, which has the power to turn stones into gold and immortality.
But this is actually exaggerated.
The Philosopher's Stone is just a manifestation of the magic power of life, and those who get it can extend their lifespan by one to two hundred years, but refining it has extremely strict restrictions, and a person can only refine it once in his life!
But even so, this Alkena gem, which represents William's master alchemist, is also a great temptation.
Cizer could already foresee how intense the auction would be, and he knew it wasn't for him to be a part of!
But that didn't stop him from sitting here and watching a wonderful show.
"Let's take a look at this precious jewel of Arkena. The auctioneer gently lifted the red silk cloth from the tray, so that Cizer and the others had the privilege of seeing the real face of the Arcana gem.
It was an irregular gemstone, but it had a rainbow of colors and was unusually dazzling in the light.
And the light it emits seems to have some kind of magic, so that people can't help but focus their eyes on it, as if something inexplicable is quietly disappearing with your gaze.
Cizer suddenly shuddered, his confused gaze suddenly cleared, and then he woke up Diablo beside him without saying a word.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Diablo looked at Cizer in confusion, seemingly completely unaware of his amiss.
Cizer couldn't help but be afraid for a while, just now the demonic qi vortex in his body and the thin line of divine blood vibrated at the same time, causing him to lose his qi and blood, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, which woke him up.
And now he only dared to glance at the jewel of Alkena, and the dazzling brilliance was like a deadly poison that made him shudder.
But the rest of the auction house didn't feel that way, and they saw themselves as merely attracted by the brilliance of the gem, and the long time seemed to them to be just a snap of a finger.
"Alright, let's start the auction of this Alkena gem. The starting price, 100,000 gold coins!"
The auctioneer covered the gem with a red silk cloth, and Cezel's heart that had been lifted was then relaxed, and he dared to look at the stage, but still avoided the tray holding the gem.
But the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became enthusiastic, and countless bidding voices rushed to sound one after another.
"One hundred thousand!"
"I'll give 120,000!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand! This thing must be mine!"
“......”
In the blink of an eye, the price of Alkena's gem climbed to a high price of 180,000, and Cizer and Diablo were dumbfounded.
At this price, although there are many fewer bidders, there is no doubt that the people who make the bid have great confidence.
"Two hundred thousand!" a middle-aged man with a mighty appearance stood up, Cizer looked a little familiar, and only remembered after Diablo's reminder.
Wilson!
The First Legion Commander of Boulder City, not far from the battle line of the Night Fortress!
Cizer couldn't help but be dumbfounded, even such characters had come out of the auction in person, it seemed that this auction was really interesting.
But the bidding did not stop, and another voice was heard, but not in the auction table below, but in the box above.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
The sound was from a box that had never made a sound, and it seemed that it had come specifically for the Alkena jewel, Cezel thought.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that there were three people in this box, and one of them turned out to be an old friend he had been looking for.
Auston!
It wasn't him who just shouted the price, nor the middle-aged man with a big belly next to him, but a young girl sitting at the front.
It may not be appropriate to call her a girl, her dress is simple, but both in terms of workmanship and fabric, and in front of her is a steaming cup of Earl Grey, from the cup to the spoon, made of silver!
She is about thirty years old, and she still retains the sexy curves of a young girl, but she exudes the charm of a mature woman all over her body, and a slight frown of her brows will break the hearts of countless men.
What a scourge this is for the country and the people!
At this time, she looked at the quiet auction hall below and said softly.
"Hong Wen, aren't you the vice president of the auction house?
The middle-aged man with a big belly kept wiping the sweat from his head, looking hot, but he was wearing the same cool clothes, even lighter than Auston.
Hearing the lady's words, he shuddered.
"The one who commissioned us to conduct the auction was a member of the Senate, probably for the down-and-out children of other families, how dare we take it ourselves. And if you participate in the auction, you can't get along, you can't get along!"
The middle-aged man finally finished saying this, but the sweat on his face was even more, and some of it had been left along the folds on his skin, wetting all the collars.
"Businessmen are just this hate, they have to estimate the value of everything they do. How beautiful this gem is!How can it be measured by money?" The woman still didn't look back, but said lightly.
The middle-aged man could only laugh vigorously, and did not dare to say anything to refute it.
But at this time, another bidding voice suddenly sounded in the field, which directly scared most of his soul away.
"I'll give 250,000 yuan! Let's see who dares to rob me!" This arrogant tone and annoying voice naturally came from the box of the triangular eye.
At this time, the middle-aged man has the heart to die, and if everything can be done again, he will definitely strangle the triangular eye in his mother's womb
What a cheat!
