Chapter 21: The Frost Moon Auction

"Missing?" Ron frowned, it was not strange for a maid to be missing in this kind of wizarding family, but this disappearance seemed to be a bit of a coincidence.

Ron shook off the trembling maid, rubbing his chin as he pondered the disappearance, when he caught a glimpse of purple out of the corner of his eye.

Ron held out his right hand, and a purple ring appeared on his little finger at some point.

The strange shape of the ring's head biting the snake's tail was like a bolt of lightning that illuminated Ron's memory.

"The Ring...... Rune-covered purple scales...... Nile Rock Python ...... Snake Eyes Man...... Turing ...... Trade...... Handmaidens in the Dark......"

Everything in the dream was like a movie, clearly reflected in Ron's memory.

In the basement of the Castle of Abundance, in the gloomy crypt, the water droplets from the underground rocks filled the air with dampness, and the huge body of the Nile rock python coiled into a brown hill, and the huge snake head lay on the top of the mountain, resting with its eyes closed.

An elder of the Cummers family, standing at the mouth of the crypt, leaned down and greeted, "Lord Nil, I have come to follow an ancient contract. ”

The python slowly opened its eyes, and its feet were a man's height with vertical pupils, like the gaze of death looking at the tiny human being.

The aura of the powerful predator diffused, and under the gaze of the giant python, the old man did not dare to meet the terrifying gaze at all, he lowered his head deeply, deeply, and raised his hands high, holding a palm-sized transparent crystal in his trembling palm.

There was a hint of mockery in the python's eyes, and then it bit down on itself, its hard scales that could withstand the attack of the sword, but not its own sharp teeth.

The teeth pierced deep into the body, and the bright red blood gushed out like a spring, and the blood did not flow to the ground, but merged into an arm-thick column of blood in the air, pouring into the transparent crystal.

With the influx of blood, the color of the crystal becomes vivid, and when the blood dozens of times the volume of the crystal all pour in, the crystal is like a pure ruby, emitting a faint red light.

The old man held the crystal and left the cave backwards with his head bowed.

When the old man's footsteps disappeared, the python loosened the snake disc and a man with vertical eyes walked out of it.

"Shh

"Radon, my brother of flesh and blood, I will take you out of this gloomy crypt, and you will not only be free, but also more powerful, and the Hydra blood will be your dessert after lunch. ”

The man flew up, slowly landed on top of the python's head, and sat down cross-legged.

"Turing's defensive charm can last for ten years at most, and I'm curious how an apprentice can grow to that point in ten years. ”

A frost moon hung in the night sky of the Stars Continent.

The Castle of Fertility became busy, and one by one, the apprentices, led by the maid, entered the cubicle on the second floor of the Fertility Hall, where Ron sat in the cubicle with his eyes closed and pondered, and some of the baby fat maids Lisy stood behind him at a loss.

A completely enclosed compartment, directly in front of which is a one-way heterochromatic crystal, an alchemical gizmo, which can be clearly seen from the inside of the compartment, and the outside gaze cannot see the inside.

The downside is that the sound insulation of the cubicle is not ideal, and the moans and lustful gasps from next door make the stiff Lis's cheeks a little hot.

For some, this boring wait obviously requires some shows to pass the time.

"How many people are coming to this rally?" Ron asked softly.

Liz looked up a little dazed, and it took her a moment to realize that she was talking to herself.

"I don't know, I'm sorry, Lord Ron," Liz said, biting her lip, "but I overheard Grand Butler Robert say that there are half as many people coming to Wolfheart this year as there are in previous years, and there are a lot of unruly people. ”

"Less than half, it seems that the damage to Wolfheart is far greater than they say. "Ron analyzes the current situation, the death of so many apprentices in Wolfheart Castle proves the strength of the Soul Trick House.

"Hum—"

A strong wave of energy interrupted Ron's thoughts, it was the Cummers family's defensive warlocks who activated the castle.

Ron looked into the center of the hall on the first floor, where the moonlight shone through the crystal dome overhead, and through delicate reflections, a hazy pillar of light converged in the center of the hall.

The patriarch of the Cummers family, Morey, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, stood in the center of the pillar of light.

"I am glad that you can come to the Castle of Abundance on the night of the Frost Moon, it is an honor for the Cosmos family, and today, I will be here to host the twenty-first Frost Moon Auction, and I am sure that today's auction will not disappoint you. ”

After a brief remarks, Morey announced the start of the auction with a smile.

A beautiful woman held the box and presented the first auction item.

Morey opened the dark wooden box, and a crystal with glittering runes appeared in front of everyone.

"There is a zero-level sorcery in this crystal - Ice Breath, with a base price of one hundred magic crystals. ”

"The first auction item was a spell model. Ron looked at the crystal in Morey's hand in surprise, although he had no interest in this kind of memory witchcraft, it did not mean that the crystal had no value.

On the contrary, no matter what kind of level zero witchcraft model, it is an absolutely sought-after thing in the world of apprentices.

"One hundred and ten magic crystals, and soon someone shouted a bid. ”

"One hundred and fifteen magic crystals. ”

"One hundred and twenty magic crystals. ”

Listening to the constant quotations, Ron almost thought that he had misheard, when could an apprentice be so rich, thinking of Roy, the fat man in the laboratory, who had been struggling below a hundred magic crystals for nearly two years, in such an auction, so many people could take out such a large sum of magic crystals at will.

Ron didn't think there would be anyone else and an alchemy apprentice who could earn a lot of magic crystals as easily as he did.

The Sorcery Crystal was eventually sold for one hundred and thirty Magic Crystals, a noticeably high price that made Ron look forward to the price at which his potions would be auctioned.

The objects sold here are not just from the Cummers family's collection, but also from some of the treasures sold by the participants.

At least the brute cow potion, swift potion, and blood boiling potion that Ron took out were enough to enter this auction, and the Cummers family got the auction rights of ten of each of the three potions at a guaranteed price of 1,600 magic crystals, which means that even if all these potions are unauctioned, Ron can also get the guaranteed purchase price of 1,600 magic crystals from the Cosmos family.

This price is nearly three hundred magic crystals higher than the Nightmare Tower.

Although the ambitious Cummers family did not have a formal wizard, relying on that Nirol rock python, the wealth they amassed was definitely far greater than that of any third-order apprentice.

The purpose of holding the Frost Moon Auction is not only to converge the magic crystals, but to other rarer things, as well as a huge network of connections.

This is also the reason why the Commers family has been inherited in the Wolf's Heart Castle for hundreds of years, but this time the defeat of the Wolf's Heart Castle against the Soul Trick House obviously made the Cummers family feel the crisis.

So this auction has brought out a lot of good things that rarely appear in the past.
