Chapter 133 Chapter 133: The Book of Human Skin
One milliliter of bioenergy is exchanged for 9.98 million crimson seals, which is equivalent to about 40 million yuan!
That's just one milliliter!
With this unprecedented price, Calais couldn't help but be very curious about this thing.
"Does the energy acting on living beings mean that it can be absorbed directly?" Calais pondered the effects of the bio-energy, but was interrupted by the host's voice.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction in the land of the free, I am the person in charge and host of this auction, Wright Lee."
The surrounding lights dimmed, and a middle-aged man in a white suit stood on a semicircular stage, telling the guests the details of the auction.
"As you know, something big happened to Herm Star recently, which led to the blockade of the entire planet, which also indirectly affected the normal holding of our auction, we have been waiting again and again, and we have not waited for the news that Herm Star is going to open, and in desperation, we can only hold this auction in a hurry, everyone understands."
Calais speculated that the blockade of Herm may have caused some big names not to arrive, which affected the bidding prices of their goods, so that the free country continued to postpone the auction.
As an underground black organization, it is natural that interests come first, but credibility is also very important, after all, it is a super-large organization all over the human territory, and enough credibility on the surface can attract more business.
Calais increasingly felt that this auction would not be easy.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, I believe that many people are looking forward to the items in this auction, so let's start now." At the end of the opening remarks, Wright Lee turned to the topic.
"The first one, the original work from Master Antos of the Decadent River Federation, the famous painting 'Girl in the Jungle'!" The curtain opened, and a half-human-high oil painting appeared, a lush picture, a warm yellow girl, which looked very beautiful.
Although Calais can't understand it, judging from the brushstrokes of the painting, it can be seen that he has a miraculous painting skills.
"The starting price is 30 million crimson seals!"
"Thirty-five million!"
"Thirty-eight million!"
"Forty million!"
"Forty-two million!"
The price is soaring, and it is just a painting of a famous artist, which is an amount that ordinary families will never see in their lifetime, which is really terrifying.
In the end, a deep voice won this famous painting for 84 million, which is staggering.
Just one painting at the beginning brought the whole auction to a climax, and everyone hysterically shouted out the bottom line price in their hearts for a collection.
It's crazy, Calais can't understand this kind of spending a lot of money for a useless thing, but what happens to others is none of his business.
At this time, he seemed to be a spectator, watching a school of fish struggling to eat, watching the large piece of bread finally fall into someone's mouth.
The first half was filled with art collections, perhaps internationally prized, but not something to be explored for Calais.
Time is running out, and the auction is already halfway through, ushering in a short intermission.
Compared to the enthusiastic auction, the intermission is much more dull, and most of them sit in their chairs and close their eyes and ponder, not knowing what they are thinking.
This is not a serious auction, and most of the people who can come to this kind of underground auction are alone, and they will not go together, let alone drag their families with them.
The more powerful ones will sit in the box above, the black windows blocking the view of outsiders, even if Calais has a sharp eye, he can't see through it.
I didn't know much about it before, but now Calais has discovered that the Free Nation, as a cosmic giant, naturally has some of the strength it should have.
The second half started quickly, and the host didn't make everyone wait long.
"Alright, now let's start our second half of the auction, unlike the first half of the collection, the second half is full of mysterious items from the vast universe."
"It's coming!" Hearing the host's introduction, Calais's eyelids lifted slightly.
The curtain opened, and palm-sized glass balls appeared on the table.
The whole glass ball is transparent, reflecting the light overhead, it looks very ordinary, there is not much beauty, and the characteristics are not enough, and there is no such thing as a brilliant place.
"This glass ball, which is said to be a rubbing crystal from the Chen Dynasty, has an unknown function, an unknown function, and an unknown usage."
The host is unknown, and the people who listen are confused, if this is placed in a street stall, then everyone thinks it will be a deceptive item, but now, if the glass ball is placed at the auction of the free country, the effect is completely different.
Maybe it's a treasure! But maybe it's a scam.
"The starting price is three million scarlet seals." The host said in a loud voice.
"It's too bad, this thing costs three million crimson seals?"
"Why didn't he rob it? Really want to empty the gloves white wolf? ”
"He said that the glass balls were from Chen Dynasty, and I also said that my underwear was from Chen Dynasty."
There was a lot of whispering around them, and Calais caught them all with his keen hearing.
Calais couldn't see anything from the glass ball, but made a rough judgment from the host's expression.
As a person who has always aimed to stir up the atmosphere of the auction, it seems that he doesn't care about the glass ball at all, and this may even be some kind of superb acting skills to deceive these smart people.
"Five million." While Calais was still thinking, someone had already shouted out the price, and the voice came from the box.
Calais has also heard of the method of rubbing, which is a kind of magical power that uses a secret method to record and save the image, and then project it out.
But it's no different from a holographic camera, it's just a magical toy.
Thinking of this, Calais also gave up the item, which was better than nothing for him.
The audience was silent, only the man in the box quoted a price, and no one followed.
The man took the rubbing crystal for five million.
It takes magic to power this thing, and Calais doesn't know how to use it.
The next items are also strange, including strange stones from the depths of the universe, super minerals floating in the universe, and strange materials from non-colonized planets.
"It's a crutch made from the teeth of a legendary Titan." Another bizarre object, a crutch made from the strongest teeth of the Titan, whose texture is far harder than that of a diamond.
But for Calais, the bone material lacks toughness and is easy to break, so it is not as good as the evergreen crutches.
With sufficient strength and toughness, coupled with smooth lightning energy conduction, Calais is also quite easy to use.
The evergreen cane that Magnolia had given to Calais was left in the old man's house and not taken out. After all, he has been on crutches all year round, which has become one of his symbols, which is too conspicuous and not conducive to hiding his identity.
In the end, the crutch was taken by an old man for 130 million.
Seeing this scene, Calais had the feeling that the evergreen crutches were also auctioned at this kind of auction.
"Next is a book, a leather book." The curtain opened, and under the bright yellow light, there was a black human skin book!
The book is covered with black hair, and it is creepy to read.
"Dark energy!" Calais could clearly feel the same dark energy from the book as the enlightenment! It was very weak, but Calais felt that he would not admit his mistake.
I have fought with Enlightenment more than once, and I am too familiar with this kind of dark energy, and this kind of fluctuation is emanating from the book at this moment.
"The book was handed over to us by one person for auction, and there was no explanation left, and the starting price was 30 million."
Wright Lee is very smart, whether there is this person or not, they have already thrown out this pot, telling everyone that the source of this book does not come from their hands, plus the auction of the change of hands and the strong strength of the free country itself, there is no trouble to find their heads.
"Thirty-five million." Someone had already bidd, a voice that Calais had never heard before, strong and powerful, and it didn't sound simple.
"Forty million!" Soon, a second voice appeared, slightly shrill and slightly cold.
"Fifty million."
"Sixty million!"
Prices were still climbing, but Calais could tell that it was only those two people who were bidding back and forth.
They're vying for this book!
"Three hundred and sixty million!" The price has come to a staggering point, and the three hundred million scarlet seal is not a small amount, and both of them are bound to get this book.
"Four hundred million." The deep voice seems to have no feelings for peace, which makes people not feel the excitement of spending a lot of money, but understatement.
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet, and host Wright Lee had already begun to count down.
"Four hundred million for the first time!"
"Four hundred million for the second time!"
"Four hundred million third...", as Wright Lee's voice was about to fall, the shrill voice finally shouted a new price.
"Four hundred and ten million!"
"Okay, 410 million, is there anything higher?" Wright Lee is also full of passion, and the value of this book is beyond his imagination.
400 million scarlet seals to buy a leather book, this price is really scary.
Calais didn't make a move, quietly watching the battle between the two, he had already guessed the identities of both sides.
This is a contest between countermeasures and enlightenment!
I didn't expect that there was still an enlightened believer in Hermstar!
That deep voice must be the master of the countermeasures bureau, Calais doesn't know who it is, only when he sees his appearance can he match the information.
But no matter who it is, the three super masters who come to the bureau are not something that Calais can provoke, and hiding in the shadows at the moment is the right choice, otherwise once you fall into this troubled water, it will be difficult to get out.
Unknowingly, this Enlightenment's assassination of Calais gradually evolved into a game between Herm Star Enlightenment and the Federal Countermeasures Bureau.
In the end, the man with a deep voice did not speak again, and inspired the believers to take down the black-haired human skin book for the price of 410 million crimson seals.
