Time goes back an hour ago.

Located on Central Avenue in the south of the city, the Golden City Auction is almost a city within a city with a tall wall and a five-story complex of more than 10,000 square meters.

The gates of the eight directions are always open, day and night. The lights that never go out inside make the auction more like the castle lord's mansion.

When Raven emerged from the shadows, the guard's heart fluttered. One moment it seemed like nothing, and the next moment it suddenly seemed like a king was coming. The Assassin's concealment contrasted with his high charisma, creating a strong sense of presence.

However, good training and superior eyesight made the two guards stand up straight in an instant, and the bright and carved half-body silver armor with bright patterns shook Raven's eyes slightly, and one of them bowed to Raven thirty degrees,

"Good evening, dear Excellency, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Good evening, I have something very valuable, at least my second appraiser needs to appraise it, I wonder if Your Excellency Amossi or Your Excellency Tullilin are available?" Raven, dressed in a warlock's robe, looked polite.

For Raven's naming and finding someone, the doorman is not sure, from common sense it is said that Raven is just a warlock's apprentice's dress, and the things he shoots should not need such a high-level appraiser. But when I saw Raven's iconic half-elf pointed ears, I suddenly remembered something......

Of course, in the eyes of others, the doorman didn't hesitate for a moment: "Oh, please go to the VIP room and wait for a while." As soon as the doorman raised his hand, a well-dressed welcoming girl walked over and welcomed Raven in. On the other side, someone naturally ran in to report.

Before stepping into the VIP room, Raven's keen ears heard the doorman's whispered conversation: "Oh my God, it almost killed me." ”

"What? That kid is big? ”

"Big? More than...... Have you heard of the latest rumored 'Raven the Exterminator'? No one knew how strong he really was, and half of the Black Eclipse Sect would have died at his hands anyway. Then he killed that Alex in public in the Adventurer's Guild, and the Adventurer's Guild didn't let out a single fart. ”

"Alex? That Vice President Alex? ”

"Yes, there will be no such person in the future."

"Wow...... It's scary. ”

"Of course, this kid is probably a trick warlock. The reception just now was not good, maybe the boss will send me to him as a person. ”

"Well, what is a human being?"

"Cut off your hands up to your elbows and your legs up to your knees, equip them with sharp weapons such as blades, and turn them into killing machines that are neither human nor ghostly. Isn't it scary, you say? ”

"Wow......"

Hearing this, Raven didn't listen to it anymore. This is the benefit of the legendary degree, the legendary degree can be a murderous name or an infamy, but it will definitely not make you obscure.

Wherever you go, as long as you have heard of you, you dare not take you seriously.

The VIP room at the auction naturally takes luxury to another level.

The bright golden tiger skin of the Mythical Tiger King, who is up to level 60 and has a gold rank, is only used as a cushion for the guests, and the perfect fangs of the Silver Rank Razor Boar King act as a handrail.

Even the cup of black tea served is made of deep-sea glass in the East China Sea.

If the luxury of the Church of Fortune is just plain gaudy, then the luxury of the Golden City auction is more classy and targeted.

Right! Welcome to the Quartet!

Not long after he sat down, after a soft knock on the door, a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows, who had obviously just gotten up from the bed and had hurriedly freshened up, came in. Even in a hurry, he was dressed in such a way that he could not be picky, and he was generous and decent.

He walked up to Raven with a professional smile on his face.

Before he could speak, Raven rushed to catch up.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, it's Master Liszt. I really didn't expect it to alarm you. ”

Liszt was also stunned, Raven knew it, but he didn't expect Raven to know him. However, his good professionalism made him quietly compliment Raven.

"As soon as I heard that His Excellency Raven, the 'crusader of the cult', was coming, it was naturally the contemptible person who was the chief appraiser to receive you."

After a few greetings, the next thing is to get down to business.

Raven took out the Pure White Frost Dance: "Master Liszt, please look at this seal." ”

Liszt picked up the dagger and examined it carefully, and then put it down for a long time, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he spoke: "How does Mr. Raven want to sell it." ”

It was a temptation, and Liszt wanted to know how much Raven knew about the value of the Pure White Frost Dance.

Raven leaned back comfortably and lay down on the comfortable sofa: "The treasure map inside involves the floating islands of the ancient arcane empire. If you are given enough time to advertise, I estimate that this thing will sell for at least 100,000 gold coins. It's a pity I can't wait. My only requirement is that the auction must take place the day after tomorrow, not sooner or later. ”

Liszt frowned, and it has to be said that this request is rather inconsistent with the principles of a businessman.

"It seems that sir, you are quite aware of the value of your goods. Then I'll be blunt, it's quite unwise. I recommend ......"

"I insist!" Raven was categorical.

As the chief appraiser of the auction in the City of Gold, Liszt had seen a lot of strange customers, and there was no need to make a big deal for this kind of thing, so he shut up.

Raven suddenly smiled: "I also understand your difficulties, so you can do as much publicity as you like during these three days, and I want to sell this short sword directly to you for auction in the form of a buyout." ”

The most important test of buyout, of course, is the appraiser's eyesight.

Taking a deep breath, Liszt crossed his fingers on his chin and pondered for five seconds before replying, "Yes." But we took a big risk at the auction house, after all, just after the spring fair, the richest merchants left. The auction price may not meet expectations, so we can only give a maximum price of 30,000 gold coins for the buyout. ”

As if afraid of Raven's disgust, Liszt added: "This is the treasure map of the Ancient Arcane Empire about the Floating Island, and I have no doubt about that. But do you know that there are different sizes of floating islands? The difference between the largest and smallest values is quite significant. It's simply the difference between the value of the gold coins of the gods and the copper coins used in the mainland. There is no customer who is full of gamblers, and it is likely that he will not be able to fetch a high price. ”

Raven nodded in agreement, and at the same time smiled in his heart: "Don't gamble, it's the most rubbish No. 1." And it's not a floating island that cats and dogs can get. ”

Raven pretended to think for a moment: "In that case, I will ask for barter." I've heard you have a Deathstrike bracer on your hand. ”

Liszt's expression was quite wonderful, his sword eyebrows seemed to have been melted away by the way, and became soft, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness: "I almost suspect that you are actually an all-knowing and all-powerful 'dossier scholar'. The secondary secrets of our guild are all known to you. Well, I'm now convinced that you must have come from some famous family of machine warlocks. ”

Raven didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he just had a 'guess' look anyway.

"Do you approve of the deal?"

Liszt continued to smile bitterly: "I can only approve. In fact, after I bought this treasure, the shareholders have always had a lot of opinions about me. After all, Your Excellency also knows that this thing is an artifact in the hands of those in need. In the hands of people who don't need it, it's waste. Liszt turned his head, summoned the maid, and gave a few commands.

After a while, a very ordinary, hazel bracer was sent by the guards.

Raven picked up the bracer, and a burst of pale green data began to swipe out on the retina:

Item Name: Death's Strike Bracer

Item Type: Strange Object

Crafting Cost (Item Level): 5000 Gold (9)

Location: Arm

Minimum equipment level: 12

Armor: 8 points

Affiliation: Mild change system (Dc17)

Activation: Swift (Awareness)

Weight: 0.9 kg

Effect: Ten times a day, you can deal critical hits and sneak attacks on constructed creatures, elemental creatures, mud monsters, plants, and undead with melee weapons for 10 seconds after activation, just as they can be hit and sneak attacked. This ability has no effect on other protection or immunity effects (such as lifeguard armor) and has a small chance to stop the target's action when attacking.

Prerequisites: Crafting Strange Objects, Sharpening Arts

Description: This is a masterpiece created by Leo Ferdinand, the master warlock of the defunct Nelas Empire. Dedicated to letting the guards deal with out-of-control golems or machine people.

Raven was satisfied. Although it is possible for a Trap Warlock above level 15 to make it, for his own plan, this is a must in the short term. Not to mention that the cost is only 5000 gold. Even if Liszt asks for 100,000, Raven must buy it if he has money.

Suddenly, where did Raven find a Warlock above level 15? There are enough warlocks, and the warlocks are even more of a national treasure.

What's more, this thing is a unique product produced by the master, and it is much better than the ordinary goods. Raven remembers that the Bracer of a Death Strike could only be used up to three times.

According to the dead thief, there are definitely more than three Shadow Steel Golems in the Shadow Orb!

In the end, Raven also consigned the Black Erosion Dragon Fang. For Raven, this dagger attack is too low, and the poison is not strong enough, so it can only be eliminated.

Raven also attached a condition, he hoped that Liszt would inform the thief's master of the matter within three days.

To be in this position, Liszt is definitely not stupid, of course he knows that he is being used.

In fact, the auctions were carried out by dead merchants. The fear is never trouble, but the goods are not good enough.

On the one hand, there is a dazzling new star in the limelight, and on the other hand, there is an old thief in his twilight years, who is worth a lot, there is no need to compare.

Liszt readily agreed.

Coming out of the auction house, the sky was already a little bright.

Raven looked at the Red Knight's strategy chessboard, and a sneer curled into the corners of his mouth: "Ellison...... I've already cast the bait, and you don't have the ability to eat it. ”

ps, there should be another chapter before 12 o'clock, but the possibility of a delay is not ruled out, so don't wait. By the way, ask for a recommendation ticket.
