Chapter 67: A Serendipitous Encounter
"Ghost Boy" Cassie, a high-level apostle, belongs to the Nirvana team of the Apostle City's "Heavenly Dome", and once had a brief intersection with Qin Lun in the world of Nars.
At that time, Cassie and two other high-ranking apostles of the Nirvana team conspired to assassinate the legendary Grand Druid, Master Weima, but were destroyed by Qin Lun and Hill and others. Qin Lun narrowly escaped in that battle, and finally learned the first A+-level magic skill Tree Realm descended, but his knight Iron Cross was also taken by the forest and the moonlight goddess taking advantage of the danger.
However, seriously speaking, Qin Lun and Cassie have no personal grudges, and sometimes the apostle gets a relative plot line, and as a result, one side will inevitably suffer a loss. What's more, at that time, Qin Lun was sincerely invited by Cassie, a high-ranking apostle, before he changed jobs, and he had a good impression of each other.
"Are you ......" Cassie's expression was a little hesitant, he remembered a little, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
"Nars!" Qin Lun smiled and raised his wine glass and nodded at him.
"Isn't it, you're really a kid?" Cassie's eyes widened, and a hint of shock appeared on the baby's face, "You're at the high level?" ”
"Not yet, second-order, with someone else." Qin Lun smiled reservedly.
"Oh!" Cassie let out a sigh of relief, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's also very fast, I remember when you were just on the edge of your profession...... How many quests did it take to get to the second order, twelve? A baker's dozen? Not fifteen at most, right? ”
Cassie's big eyes swirled on their own, and there was a hint of playfulness and cunning between their eyebrows.
"Don't guess, it's just a second order, it's not worth your worries!" Qin Lun smiled bitterly, he didn't dare to despise the one in front of him. In fact, they didn't win in terms of planning, and if it weren't for the Iron Cross that the goddess of the forest spied on him, he would have died long ago.
"Hehe, that's pretty good!" Cassie patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You're coming to the club for the first time, come, I'll introduce you to some friends." ”
Cassie took Qin Lun to walk around the crowd, and it could be seen that this "ghost boy" was not only extremely intelligent, but also seemed to be very popular. wandered all the way, and took Qin Lun to get in touch with no less than seven or eight large teams.
"I have a good face, I really want to eat a little better!" Qin Lun looked at Cassie coquettishly beside the two female apostles with a smile, making the two of them show off, and couldn't help touching his chin. It's a pity that his personal style is different, even if Qin Lun has such a baby face, it is estimated that it will be difficult to dress up so well.
After turning around with Cassie for a long time, Qin Lun finally said goodbye and left. More and more apostles came to the club, but the flow of people in the flower garden began to stabilize after entering and leaving the manor, and most of them had already put the auction items on the list and were almost ready to work.
Qin Lun returned to the back garden of the castle, grabbed an auction flyboard, and slowly checked the auction list.
The club is held every two months, and because of the expensive admission and transaction taxes, most of the high-ranking apostles do not come every time, and the number of people in each session is roughly maintained at more than two hundred.
However, the Shattered Star Sky has recently had a battle with the Superstring Space, and there has been turmoil in every Apostle City, so this auction will be more lively. Qin Lun roughly estimated that the number of apostles in the manor had reached five hundred.
"These auction items are very good!" Qin Lun browsed the auction list, his eyes flashing.
At this time, there were almost thousands of auction items listed, and Qin Lun was a little interested in seven or eight percent of them, which was worthy of a high-end auction. However, the prices of these auction items were also frighteningly high, and the lowest auction price he had ever seen was 250,000 Shattered Crystals, which belonged to a purple gold wand.
As for the recovery items and high-level magic scrolls listed in the world treasure class, these things are not sold in a single sample, most of them are sold in two or three bindings, and some high-demand magic scrolls are bundled with scrolls that are a little more out of the way.
This method made Qin Lun feel very novel, but it can also be seen that the auction process here is very mature, which minimizes the risk of buyers and sellers, and also makes speculators have nothing to do.
The auction list was roughly divided into four categories: equipment, skill scrolls, consumables, and bloodline items, and Qin Lun first focused his attention on consumables. According to the plan he had discussed with several other killers, he would first buy some high-level magic scrolls in order to enhance his self-protection ability in the world of Torrell.
This is one of the benefits of having a world token, and if you change to other mission worlds, you don't know if you can use magic scrolls, so naturally you won't spend a lot of money to buy high-level scrolls.
Qin Lun's fingers counted the dots on the flyboard and selected five magic scrolls that were sold in bundles. Because he didn't know if he would be able to win the auction in the end, he had to choose a few more items, but not too many. Once you have selected an auction item, the auction funds will be frozen by the stars and you will no longer be able to use them unless you abandon the lot.
Of the five bundled magic scrolls, four of them are of mixed type, that is, they each have one for attack and defense, but each has a different emphasis. Although most of the bundled magic scrolls are lined up with popular scrolls and side-door scrolls, auctioneers also pay attention to the combination to maximize the usefulness of the auction items.
For example, the bundle of the most expensive magic scrolls selected by Qin Lun was composed of a ninth-order fire-based magic meteor pendant, a seventh-order light-based magic holy light healing, and a seventh-order earth-based magic earth cage.
Meteor Fall, a large-scale offensive fire magic, is very popular, but the Healing of the Light and the Earth Cage are not. The Holy Light system is effective in expelling curses and black magic damage, but the pure healing effect is not as good as that of water-based magic. The Earth Dungeon is very useful as a defensive magic, but unfortunately it's a bit embarrassing to not be up or down, and the role it can play is actually not much different from that of a sixth-order earth wall.
One is four-sided protection, the other is single-sided protection, the single-sided protection of the earthen wall can also be used to block the enemy, but the earth cage can only be used when surrounded by people. In addition, the seventh-order magic is twice as expensive as the sixth-order magic scroll, which is really not worth it.
In addition to these four bundles of mixed scrolls, the other bundle of magic scrolls that Qin Lun selected was a bit unusual. This is a set of special-purpose magic scrolls, which are the eighth-order lethal rays and the two seventh-order eye-demon wills.
When he first saw the introduction of this set of magic scrolls, even Qin Lun was a little surprised. Because this set of magic scrolls does not belong to magic in the usual sense, but the innate magic of the Eye Demon clan.
Judging from the introduction of magic, the lethal ray is very powerful, even no less than some ninth-order magic and forbidden spells, and the only drawback is that it belongs to single damage magic.
When this magic scroll is opened, it produces a lethal ray equivalent to that emitted by the Eye Demon Monarch. The magic ray will produce an instant mental will judgment on the target, and if the spiritual power is less than that of the Eye Demon Monarch, the soul will be directly annihilated, which can be described as extremely weird.
Under normal circumstances, non-apostles and plot legendary classes have no resistance to this magic, and the upper limit of the spiritual power of the Eye Demon Monarch is comparable to that of gods, if it weren't for the special protection of the legendary classes in their will, even they would be easy to hit.
Even if the Psychic Will judgment is waived, the Death Ray will produce an additional psychic impact, resulting in a similar stiffness and hallucinatory effect depending on the opponent's immunity.
However, Qin Lun's main purpose in wanting this bundle of magic was not a lethal ray, but two seventh-order eye demon wills. The Eye Demon itself is a creature of high spiritual will, and it is difficult for almost even the gods to enslave such creatures, and they tend to control the underground creatures of a dark region alone, and even other members of the clan rarely interact.
The seventh-order eye demon will they generated, the magic effect is to temporarily increase the user's spiritual will close to 30 points, and there are no other side effects, but the apostle's original spiritual naked attribute needs to reach more than 60 points.
Qin Lun's spiritual bare attribute has 73 points, and the plus equipment attribute is 99 points. The main purpose of his request for this magic was to cast an A+ rank ninth-order wood magic, the Arrival of the Tree Realm. To him, two seventh-order eye demon will scrolls were equivalent to two tree realms descending, and the cost performance was very high.
However, for the high-ranking apostles present, their physical attributes have already reached their peak, and most of the skills suitable for their own profession will not have spell casting obstacles. As a result, this magic scroll was very off-top, and most of them had no ideas, and it was completely an addition to the eighth-order lethal ray.
In fact, when Qin Lun saw this bundle of scrolls, it was completely unnoticed. No matter how good the Death Ray was, it wasn't worth taking two useless scrolls, and he believed that he could buy this bundle of magic scrolls at the reserve price.
After browsing the magic scrolls, Qin Lun focused his attention on the other categories of consumables, and quickly selected the other two world treasures. One is a gargoyle statue, and the other is an armored worm.
The gargoyle statue didn't need to be introduced, Qin Lun wanted to use it as a scout. The seller bundled five gargoyles, enough for the rest of the expedition.
The other Construct Bugs are a bit more expensive, these are constructed creatures that use magic crystals, each one is the size of a fingernail, with sharp teeth and nothing to urge, and can also make holes and fly short distances. If the two vats of beetles sold by that apostle were released, it is estimated that even the legendary profession would be shocked.
However, these two things are also ridiculously expensive, and the base price of five gargoyles is 150,000, and it is estimated that the transaction price will not be less than 200,000. The base price of the Armored Worm is as high as 350,000, and the transaction price is not less than 500,000, which is already equivalent to the price of a piece of sub-legendary equipment.
Qin Lun thought about it for a while, and ordered a few similar items, such as the Golden Griffin Summoning Stone and the Hummingbird Constructed, for alternatives.
After looking at the consumables, Qin Lun glanced at his broken crystal again, and suddenly smiled bitterly, there was less than half of the four million left. Luckily, most of the things he chose had alternatives, and he could get at least half of them back.
"It seems that the situation is unexpected, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a few pieces of legendary equipment." Qin Lun thought about it, and then turned his attention to the bloodline item.
