"Master, your dinner."

The housekeeper pushed the food into the study with a delicate dining cart, and on the rocking chair next to the windowsill, Zhao Nan seemed to have fallen asleep, until the housekeeper came over, and there was no response.

Ever since he came back from an evening outing, his master has been in his study. Only the huge fortress of the owner of the city lord's fort was far more deserted than usual.

The housekeeper didn't dare to disturb, so he had to stop the dining car and plan to leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Nan's voice suddenly came: "Blade, have I let you deal with the matter well?" ”

Didn't you fall asleep? The butler was slightly stunned, turned around, and said respectfully: "Master, according to your orders, a good amount of money has been pulled out of the city lord's fort to help those victimized families." ”

"That's good, at least we can live a good life." Zhao Nan said softly.

Because he has been serving the master for a long time, the housekeeper has not become more restrained, and he sighed slowly when he heard this: "The economic wound can be treated, but the psychological wound may not be so simple to heal...... It's not a good feeling to lose a family member. I hope that those who have disappeared will be able to return to their families as soon as possible. It's just an ordinary person, hey......"

Zhao Nan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said faintly: "Those people won't come back......

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, do you already have news of those missing persons?" ”

Zhao Nan shook his head and didn't answer this question, but stood up and opened the lid on the dining car, "It's a little boring to eat alone, you can eat with me." ”

"Ah...... Good. The housekeeper hurriedly said.

Do not refuse reasonable requests from the owner. is the principle of being a competent steward.

"But it's a pity that Mr. Osfin, Miss Valkini, and Her Royal Highness the Princess are not there, otherwise I don't think the master would need me to accompany him." The butler said softly.

Zhao Nan stopped and said, "I'm afraid I won't see them." ”

"Master, are you going to go out again?"

Zhao Nan smiled and said, "Slightly ...... Something. Well, if you keep talking, you won't be able to eat this meal. I don't want my good housekeeper to work hungry. ”

"Oh...... I was rude. ”

After a simple dinner, Zhao Nan quietly left the City Lord's Fort. Carry a false ring in your hand, and then teleport the crystal through the city. Left the City of Listening to the Wind.

Soon after, he went straight to the City of Freedom, and then set off from the City of Freedom, and infiltrated the territory of the Acquired Wing Empire alone.

The so-called 'Empire of the Wings of the Heavens' is actually a new regime established by the nobles of the royal family of the Wings of the Empire who were massacrated by the evil god camp and occupied the original imperial city, and after they had already controlled half of the area, the remnants of the population moved to the edge of the original border as much as possible, and were established by the nobles of the royal bloodline.

Of course. If the evil gods are willing to intervene, there is naturally no way for this new regime to last long.

Although it is a new country, the scene of depression in the country is visible...... The royal families don't know what they're planning, but they still have a hint of restoration and the like.

……

……

Lyons.

It is now the new capital of the Houtian Wing Empire, which was rebuilt from the capital of the original province. And the lord, who was originally the most powerful nobleman in this place, has a decisive energy in the new regime at this time...... It's a little bit of a realization of the previous ambitions.

This Lord of Mortiki.

Yes...... This place is the Eternal Night Province of the original Heavenly Wing Empire, that is, the place where the bones of the original Sky Sword Saint are buried.

"This new emperor is of no use at all, and Mortiki is now completely in control of the entire new regime."

Among the luxurious castles of the lords of Mortiki. The two youths were talking leisurely. The one who spoke just now was called Shat, and the name of his companion was Asma.

The two were originally the Chosen One of the Fog Capital of the Heavenly Wing Empire. Later, he leaned on the side of the Lord of Mortiki...... Before the start of the Sea Clan War, in the Empire, many Chosen Ones would choose powerful nobles to rely on.

Although the Wing Empire is no longer as powerful as it used to be, and the fog capital has also been destroyed due to the appearance of evil gods, and the Chosen ones who escaped have begun to switch to other chosen cities, there are still some remains. Joined the new regime.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Schattor and Asma are some of the best of them...... Of course, the main reason that kept the two of them by the side of the Lord of Mortiki was the request they had received.

The top of the clouds!

The two of them still can't forget the scene of the city lord of Listening to the Wind City that they met at the top of Yunlan...... That kind of power has made the two of them completely unable to rise to the idea of fighting against them. Since you can't fight the enemy, it's better to work hard, at least you can get a lot of benefits.

"You two seem to be very idle?"

It was supposed to be a room where no one would dare to approach at will. Suddenly, a voice sounded, causing the faces of Xia and Asma to change slightly at the same time.

"Oh...... No, we're not. ”

And immediately heard who the owner of this voice was, "We just ...... Just discussing something! Yes, discuss the matter of the present world of Lotus Truth. ”

"Really?"

The figure flickered, and there was already an extra person in the room of the two of them who did not belong here - Zhao Nan.

"Really? It's just to spread the news, and naturally there will be people willing to gather here. What else is there to negotiate about something like this? ”

"This ...... We always have to watch out for the powerful Chosen One. And, perhaps, it will interest the evil gods as well. ”

Zhao Nan sighed, in general, these two are useless types. Although the strength is above the level among the Chosen One. However, there are not many such people, and even a lot of Cheng dù is grabbed.

However, if you see the wind and rudder, it is a first-class standard.

"How's the preparation going?" Zhao Nan suddenly asked.

Asma hurriedly responded, "We have already prepared the people of the guild, and the venue for the auction of the current world lotus has been chosen, so now we are just waiting for the day of the auction to come." And according to your orders, the rules that only those who have the rainbow key are eligible to enter the auction have been announced. ”

Xia Te looked at Zhao Nan puzzled at this time and said, "But...... Is this rule of entry useful? It's easy to realise that maybe this auction is just a trap. The goal is to scavenge for more rainbow keys...... We can actually use a more modest excuse. Using the rainbow seven-colored key as the auction fund for the current world lotus or something......"

Zhao Nan said indifferently: "Do you think this is stupid?" ”

"Oh...... No. Xia Te suddenly said in a cold sweat: "Maybe you have some special intentions." It's just that I can't guess. ”

"If that's the case, then don't guess, just wait for the results to come out and see directly. Although the next words are a bit old-fashioned, they will always be of some use to you......" Zhao Nan disappeared out of thin air, leaving a residual voice: "If you don't get to the things you should care about, you don't care less." Do more things and talk less, and luck will not leave you. ”

After the two broke out in a cold sweat. Speechless for a long time...... But this is a person who can never be betrayed, and in the depths of his memory, there has always been such a voice telling himself.

It's like a spell.

But it's not really a spell, it's just a few minor changes to your memory. Zhao Nan did not go far, but stood openly in the sky above this building. It's just that everyone here is 'ordered' not to see him.

It wouldn't be too difficult to get Shattor and Asma to obey him completely, just let the two of them find a time to infiltrate the Windy City and then accept the impaldation of the Rewrite Blade. Even if you think about what needs to be rewritten, it won't take more than half an hour before and after. Listening to the Wind City, which occasionally goes back from the East China Sea, can be done well by the way.

"Actually, it's better for the evil gods to come, so you don't have to 'invite' them one by one."

What is it as if you can get a lot of rainbow keys in one go? Naturally, it was time for a large number of people with rainbow seven-colored keys to appear.

If you have the Rainbow Seven-colored Key, but you can't get it together, you can't open the path to the stars. Only when the path to heaven is opened, the seven-colored key can be used as a holder, and the quota of seven people can travel freely.

The best way to do this is, of course, to communicate with each other.

But.

- I hold four, you hold three, and together you can open the path to the stars. But because I have four. All I have to have four places.

――What? Do you want four slots? Don't you know that the shipment rate of these three I have on hand is even lower? I'm going to have five places here! Do you want to do it? If I don't do it, there will be a lot of people out there waiting for me to cooperate!

Of course, that's not all. Cooperation and win-win cooperation are also big and human, but it is not necessarily the absolute main theme.

"The initial exploration team has probably reached a bottleneck. The further you explore, the bigger it gets. At this time, there is a greater need for adequate manpower...... You don't have to be too powerful, you just need to be a pathfinder. ”

Zhao Nan finally landed on the roof of a nearby high-rise building and waited quietly...... Waiting for this auction with obvious intentions to take place.

……

……

Historically, auctions have always given the impression that something else is going on...... But if the so-called Lotus of the Present World is true, then it is an absolutely life-saving thing.

Of course, such as the Resurrection Gem. Treasures that can replace a deadly attack or something like that are also crazy stuff. But after all, this thing still has restrictions on use, once it is not used in time, even if you have it, it can only be reduced to an ornament.

But the present world lotus is really in terms of time constraints. But it is much more forgiving, although the reconstructed body of the present world Hasumi will become unable to possess power.

Fight with all your might, even if you die, at most you will live ordinarily, if you win......

Isn't that a tempting idea? Because there is this relative premise of immortality.

……

A day later, the auction house, as the organizers of this auction, Schatt, Asma, and their men, all wore false rings, disguised their identities, and wore masks...... It kind of gives these people who come to the auction a mysterious feeling.

"More people than you think...... Looking at the attraction of this lotus in this world, it is really huge. Schatthad glanced at the crowd in the room.

Some come alone, some in groups, and some in small groups of three or four...... Angry.

"After all, it's not just a life-saving thing, it's a real extra life." Asma said indifferently. It's just that his eyes are constantly searching above the venue.

Because the person who instructed them to initiate this auction has not yet appeared...... Maybe he has hidden in the place, watching this qiē coldly?

"It's almost beginning...... I felt like I was the prey. Schattor frowned, countless eyes were staring at them on the stage, making Schatthead feel disgusted, "I can't stand the gaze of these people anymore." ”

Asma nodded. He took a step forward, glanced at the people in the room, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. ”

The venue, which had not had much to talk about, suddenly became quieter. Asma said indifferently at this time: "I believe you already know the purpose of coming here. There is only one item in today's auction, so I won't say more...... First of all, let's take a look at the current world of Lotus Fruit! I'm sure you'll be able to dispel your doubts about it after reading it. ”

I saw the two people behind me slowly retreat at this time, and a step came to the car. On top of the car, three granular objects the size of a finger were simply loaded in small glass boxes.

Asma made an inviting gesture at this time and said, "Interested buyers can come up to the stage to take a look." But please follow the order, one by one. ”

Saying that, it was convenient for the two people who pushed the cart out. They stood aside.

No one would fight for such a thing - because if it were a personal item, it would be a mere idea that could be put into one's personal space, and no one could take it away...... Therefore, in this venue, there will be no precautions against this rare secret treasure.

However, the venue suddenly became silent at this point, and after about a few minutes, a middle-aged man slowly walked up and approached the glass box. Look closely.

There was a strange glow in his eyes.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly. He then took a deep breath, looked at Asma, nodded, and walked back to his seat in the venue with a heavy face.

"This thing...... Can it really be brought back to life? No, I'll take a look at it too. ”

"Hmmm......"

"Is it genuine? So ......"

I don't know when, the person who is on probation. There is already a long queue...... At least in this case, discipline still exists. But I just don't know when this discipline will be ignored.

Maybe soon, when the auction officially begins...... Schatthorn and Asma thought at the same time.

The Chosen ones are almost overwhelmingly here, but there are also indigenous people—really powerful aborigines.

I don't know how long it took. When the last observer left the stage, the room became quiet again - quieter than ever.

It's like the silence before the storm.

Asma nodded at this time, and spoke again: "It seems that you have no doubts about the authenticity of the item, right?" Then I will announce the rules of the auction...... As you know, you can only auction the Rainbow Key. And we have graded the rainbow seven-color keys. Starting with red, the keys will work their way up to the last color, and will be doubled, red will be 1 point, and the final purple will be 64 points! So, all the keys you have in your hands add up to the funds you can use for auction! But there is one thing that needs to be stated first. For example, if a lotus fruit is finally auctioned for 50 points, and the bidder only has a purple key in hand, we will not return the extra 14 points. That's all there is to it, and if you don't have any questions, the auction will begin...... If you have any questions, please ask them within the next ten seconds. Now start the timer...... 1！ ”

It's not an unacceptable auction.

With this grading system, it seems that the gap between the crowd has been flattened in an instant. Not in terms of the number of keys, but in the shipment rate of keys. For those groups or individuals who have not been able to obtain a large number of keys due to their small number, but have more than one number of high-level keys, they may not be much worse than those groups with a large number of low-level keys.

Where are the limits of the other party?

But no one knows.

"Ten...... If you all have no doubts, the auction has officially begun! The starting price of the first lotus fruit is ...... 1 point! Start bidding! Asma knocked down the gavel in his hand.

"I'll do it first...... 1 point! ”

Unexpectedly, the moment the gavel was struck, someone had already made a bid immediately! It's just that this kind of shouting at 1 o'clock has caused this buyer to collect countless strange glances.

But the buyer said nonchalantly: "What are you looking at?" There's always a need for someone to bid, right? And if you don't bid, it's mine! I've already made a bid, and you don't even count? How much time has it been? Are you still professional or not? ”

“…… This gentleman bids a little! A little first! Asma can only do things according to the rules at this time, "Is there anyone else bidding?" A little second time! ”

"I'll take out a yellow key!"

"I'll take out a yellow key, and three red keys!"

"A green key!"

The sound gradually rises...... Faster and faster.

At this time, a voice came indifferently, "Two purple keys." ”

It was the first buyer to ask a little bit...... (To be continued......)
