Four days later, the underground auction of the small island was held as scheduled.

An Rui attended the auction with several important men, all of whom wore face masks to hide their true faces. This was mainly done to avoid alarming Bai Ge, who would also participate in the auction. If Bai Ge found out about them and took precautions, it would be much more troublesome to deal with.

This kind of masking is not unusual, and many people who attend auctions cover their faces for various purposes. Some people are worried that they will be targeted after buying good things, and some people have a reward on their heads, which is not visible.

The auction is the busiest day of the month in the small island, and before the auction starts, a large number of people rush to the auction venue. The streets are bustling with people. There are also many businessmen who have seized this business opportunity and set up stalls along the street to sell some gadgets.

The venue was built in the center of the island on a small isolated island, which was originally a low hill that had been artificially excavated and converted into a tower-like building. People from far and wide converged there.

On the way, An Rui bought some food and play for the women's army around him and the handsome man on his shoulder, and coaxed these guys very happily.

The small island was small, and after a few moments, they arrived at their destination, one of the entrances to the venue.

Not everyone can participate in the auction, and before entering the venue, you have to pay a large entrance fee, receive a seat number, and write down a simple personal information form, filling in your name and the forces behind it. Only the name is required on this information form, and the rest are optional. It's okay to be empty.

An Rui paid the money, received a string of seat numbers next to him, and filled out a few random information forms with his companions. Most people fill in their real names. Only Alice's identity is more sensitive, and she fills in a pseudonym.

After completing the simple entrance procedures, the group entered the venue carved out of the mountain through a towering gate.

The interior of the venue is lavishly decorated, with the floor of the corridor paved with square bricks, a series of luminous stones inlaid on both sides of the walls as lighting tools, and a valuable oil painting of a celebrity nailed to the wall at intervals.

After passing through the hallway. Suddenly there was a circular hall ahead. The entire space is recessed and surrounded by a large number of seats. The height is gradually reduced, and there is a round table at the bottom, and an auction table in the center of the round table.

The entire hall can accommodate at least 3,000 people, which is enough. Due to the high entrance fee. It is impossible for an auction attendee to bring too many retinues into the venue. Moreover, the auction itself has a clear limit on the number of people in each party. A group of forces can only bring in a maximum of ten people.

A large number of people had already arrived in advance and sat in the corresponding seats, and a quarter of the more than 3,000 seats were already occupied.

A group of maids in black dresses shuttle from one seat to another, serving the guests, occasionally acting as guides, guiding the newcomers to their seats. Probably to avoid trouble, these maids were all female orcs, all of whom were born with blue faces and fangs. People are tall and big. No matter how the guests are, they won't beat their minds.

Anrui was led by an orc maid to find her seat. Sitting side by side with the Girl Scouts. His seat number is 1990, which is relatively far back and sits in a higher position.

The handsome man looked at the orc maid and said "so ugly" very cheaply, in exchange for the maid's white eyes, and An Rui's merciless burst.

After sitting down, An Rui began to scan the surroundings, looking for the location of Bai Ge and the others, and soon found the target.

Bai Ge and his wife Gasha sat opposite, the two sides were far apart, if it weren't for Bai Ge's special skin color, it was easy to identify, it was really not easy to find. Bai Ge and his wife did not wear any masks to cover up, they all showed their true faces.

After determining Bai Ge's location, An Rui had no scruples and chatted with the women's army beside him.

More and more people entered the venue, and gradually most of the seats were occupied.

In anticipation, the auction finally began, and a large bell on one wall jingled. The noisy venue gradually quieted down, and people stopped talking and focused their attention on the center of the venue.

An elven man in a suit and leather shoes walked up, looking very heroic. He stood behind the auction table and introduced himself in a loud voice, claiming to be the auctioneer of the auction.

The rules of the auction were simple and there was nothing to say, and the auctioneer quickly cut to the chase and began to sell the first lot of the day.

"This is a special flying ship, the grade is bronze, named Lingyun, the principle of flight is to create a very light weight gas through a 'bubbling stone', inject the gas into the air bag, and use the air bag to drive the entire hull to fly. The most powerful weapons on the hull were sixty-four air cannons, powerful enough to shatter fifteen-centimeter-thick planks...... The starting price of this ship is 8,000 gold coins, and the auction is now officially open! ”

The two maids were holding a large drawing of the Lingyun as well as its cross-section from all angles. The auctioneer pointed to the picture to make a detailed introduction, and then quoted a reasonable price.

The Flying Ship is similar to the Ghost Ship, both of which belong to the kind of special ships that are more difficult to deal with, and even if the combat effectiveness is average, there is hope to defeat a strong opponent. Flying ships can fly in the sky, and ordinary cannons have no way to take this kind of ship, so they can only be beaten passively.

A Bronze-class flying ship, selling for 8,000 gold coins, is not expensive at all, and it immediately attracted many bidders.

Even An Rui was a little tempted, but because of the shyness in his pocket, and the fact that he was not here, he had no choice but to give up.

The Lingyun was eventually bought by a well-known pirate for a whopping 15,000 gold coins, nearly doubling the difference between the starting and final prices.

The first auction item was just a warm-up, and the warm-up effect was quite good, mobilizing the atmosphere of the whole audience. More lots were taken out, some in kind. Some are just portraits. The prices of the lots varied, and the overall appearance was wave-like, after a low-priced lot was sold. This is definitely followed by high-priced auctions, and the cycle repeats. Not only are there high-priced lots, but there are also occasional cheap items worth hundreds of gold coins.

When the fifteenth lot was auctioned, the goal of Anrui's trip finally appeared. He looked at the auction item from afar, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"As you can see, this is a treasure map, and the title on it is Treasure of the Dead. The location depicted in the picture is the Sea of Misty and an unnamed island in it. As we all know, the Sea of Ghost Mist is a forbidden place, and it is extremely dangerous. There is no return, and almost no one knows what is inside the sea of ghost fog. This treasure map points out the route and method of entering the Ghost Mist Sea, and also indicates the location of a treasure in the map, judging from the introduction. This treasure is quite tempting. ”

"The words on the treasure map contain the dark power of the undead. Just by touching it, you can feel a chill to the bone. This proves the authenticity of this treasure map to a certain extent. The starting price for this treasure map is 500 gold coins, so let's start bidding! The auctioneer shouted enthusiastically in a pleasant voice.

Auction items of this price are relatively cheap in this auction, but after shouting the price, the popularity of the auction is not very high. The reason why this happens is because there are too many fakes of such things as treasure maps, often ten treasure maps. Nine-and-a-half are fake.

There are a lot of boring people and traitors who maliciously create fake treasure maps and trap many, many treasure hunters. The treasure hunter took the treasure map and worked hard to get to the treasure location. As a result, you won't get anything, and you may even put your life into it.

Over time, the navigators gradually lost their enthusiasm for treasure maps and accepted the reality that pies do not fall from the sky.

Most people are reluctant to spend 500 gold coins for a treasure map whose authenticity is unknown.

But there are exceptions.

An Rui is the exception, and he is happy to buy this treasure map because he knows it is genuine!

He had traveled all the way to the auction for this treasure map.

The route charted on the map is correct, and will eventually lead to a priceless treasure, the most precious of which is a sword, and an almost astronomical treasure that will make everyone rich overnight.

The sword, as well as the treasure, was important to Anrui, and he was determined to get it.

In fact, he knew the route of the treasure hunt in his heart, and even if he didn't rely on this treasure map, he could find that treasure. The reason why I bought this treasure map was just in case. After all, memory is something that sometimes goes wrong.

When the price of this treasure map was speculated to 600 gold coins, An Rui made a move, and after several auctions, he finally bought this treasure map for 670 gold coins. It's not too expensive to buy a real treasure map at this price.

"Six hundred and seventy gold coins for the third time, the auction is successful, congratulations to this masked gentleman!" The auctioneer chuckled in his heart as he said this, this treasure map was sold by a maritime merchant, and it was sold for a bunch of them, there were ten identical treasure maps in total.

A real treasure map will never have so many replicas, this treasure map is a prank, and whoever buys it is unlucky. In order to sell for a high price, the director of the auction deliberately auctioned the ten treasure maps separately, asking for one to be auctioned every other month. If you take out all ten treasure maps at once, you will definitely be considered a fake, and no one will buy them.

Witnessing a customer buy a fake is the greatest joy of an auctioneer's job.

The auction continued, and the next auction item to be brought out was a knight's skill book, which was powerful and rare, and the price was much more expensive than the previous treasure map.

An Rui successfully bought the treasure map he wanted, and a big rock in his heart fell to the ground, but there was another big rock hanging. There were two things he wanted to buy on this trip, and the treasure map was just one of them, and there was another thing to buy, which was much more expensive than the treasure map.

The auction of the small island is held once a month, and it is naturally impossible for An Rui to know the auction items of each auction, he only remembers a few special auction items and the auction time. This is his first time here, but it will never be the last time he comes, and he will come here to pick up bargains in the future.

In the second half of the auction, an axe auction item suddenly appeared, the grade was bronze, there was no special effect, and the starting price was 200 gold coins, which was a little lower than the previous treasure map.

This is not what An Rui wanted to buy next, but after seeing the axe on the table, he still aroused some interest.

"Bai Ge's axe was stolen by Alice, and now that he has no weapons at his disposal, he will probably buy this axe as a temporary replacement. If he does want to buy it, I will compete with him, and buy the axe no matter how much it costs, so that he will not have the weapons at his disposal. He uses an axe to fight, and without an axe, his strength will definitely decrease a lot, just like a toothless tiger. An Rui's eyes moved slightly, and bad water appeared in his heart.

The auction for the axe began, the weapon was more practical, there were more bidders than there had been in the previous bidding for the treasure map, and the price of the axe had risen to three hundred gold coins, which was close to the actual price of the axe.

"I'll give you three hundred and fifty gold coins!" A gruff voice rang out, and everyone looked over to see that the person who was shouting was an orc with pale skin.

It's Bai Ge!

"Ha, I guessed that." An Rui sneered in his heart, and immediately raised his hand to raise the price and said, "I'll give you four hundred gold coins!" He deliberately spoke in a falsetto, and his voice was so different from usual that outsiders couldn't hear it at all.

When Bai Ge heard that someone had raised the price, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, revealing anger, and he scolded in his heart: "Damn, is this guy wronged?" The price of an axe with no effect is so high, and it is too expensive for me to pay 350 gold coins. ”

But he was angry, and in the end he had to continue to participate in the auction, because his axe was missing, and now he was missing a weapon to use. This axe, though not good, is better than nothing.

"Four hundred and twenty gold coins!" Bai Ge gritted his teeth and raised the price.

"Four hundred and fifty gold coins!" Anrui did not hesitate to continue to increase the price, looking determined to win.

"Four hundred and sixty gold coins!"

"Five hundred gold coins!"

"Five hundred and twenty!"

"Six hundred!"

Bai Ge had the heart to vomit blood, and he couldn't wait to tear the masked bidder to pieces, if the other party hadn't deliberately raised the price, he would have bought this axe a long time ago. Now that the price has been raised too high, it has far exceeded its due value, and even if he lacks an axe, he is not willing to be the wronged leader.

"Bastard, since you want this broken axe so much, I'll give it to you to chop wood!" Bai Ge roared indignantly and stopped raising the price. (To be continued......)
