Chapter 718: The Power of the Eyes
It is precisely because of the difference between the wasteland and the ice field, so that the danger of the two is also completely different, if you are lucky to enter the wasteland, it is possible to get out alive, but if you enter the ice field, there is almost no possibility of getting out, according to the records of the world of Velun from ancient times to the present, only one person who has gone deep into the ice field has come out alive, and this person is the current queen of Deliaat.
Although I don't understand why the wizard who laid out the Turing root in the black market went to the ice field, from his unhesitating behavior, it is not difficult to see that he had absolute confidence in his own strength before entering the ice field, and what kind of wizard would have absolute confidence in his own strength? The answer is only the wizard of the tower.
Thinking of this, Leo became more and more interested in the box.
Just as Leo was flipping through the list of lots, Sylvia, who was sitting next to him, suddenly let out a slight exclamation.
Leo looked up and saw Sylvia looking at the boxes directly across from their box room with a serious face.
The lights in the Moonlight Theater are a little dim, and ordinary people can't see enough to see the situation inside the room of the breadbox through the seats below the hall, but Sylvia's strength has increased at the same time, and her body seems to have undergone some kind of change, without borrowing any equipment and abilities, and she can see the situation in the breadbox clearly, which is almost the same as Leo's extraordinary vision that is now not blessed with any power.
Leo looked at Sylvia's eyes, then turned his head in the direction she was looking, and then looked at the room in the breadbox.
Although the box room opposite was similar to the current one, there was no light on, and it was pitch black, but Leo could still see the situation inside.
I saw that there was only one person sitting in those boxes, and everyone was wrapped in a burqa, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, and there were no markings on the burqa, so it was impossible to identify their identities, and the only thing Leo could feel was that their energy fluctuations were very strong, and each of them was equivalent to a fifth-level psionic person.
However, although several of them are equivalent to fifth-level psionic beings, their power is not their own, judging from the scattered situation of energy fluctuations, they are obviously blessed by external forces, plus the growth of their own strength, so they are all without exception unable to perfectly control their own strength, so that the energy in their bodies is scattered outward like a light bulb, these scattered energy not only affects the next few boxes, even the seats in the hall downstairs are also affected, and the people sitting there feel even extreme discomfort and have to leave their seats, so those places are obviously vacant A few pieces, which are particularly eye-catchingγ
After living with the information of energy fluctuations, Leo couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Sure enough, the world is changing rapidly, and it has only been a few days since I saw so many transcendent beings equivalent to fifth-level psionic beings. β
Although the power of the person on the other side was given by other beings, the fifth-level psionic was a fifth-level psionic after all, and no form of power could change this fact, which also made him feel that the world was changing at an extremely fast speed.
"A few of them are very strong, they should be about the same as you. Leo briefly talked about the strength of the people on the other side, and then asked Sylvia, whose expression was always extremely serious, "Are they those cult leaders hiding in the Vesvi Forest?"
"Hmm. Sylvia nodded and said: "They are the gods of the retrograde Kabusaka, the pope of the tongue of lies, and the saints of the Holy Lord of the Crypt, these three cults are also the three largest cults in the Minsk continent, and there are very many believers, although the Church of the King of the Hill and the Church of the Lord of All Things and the Lord of All Things have joined forces to eradicate the forces and church organizations of these three cults on the surface, but the hidden part of the underground still exists." Now the three of them are here at the same time, apparently coming for the special items at this auction. β
"Don't worry, we don't have a conflict of interest with them, so there's no need to bother. Leo comforted Sylvia, and then said with great confidence: "Even if they become our enemies, it doesn't matter, it's not difficult to deal with them." β
"I'm not worried about their quality. Sylvia shook her head and said.
"What's that worrying about?" asked Leo, puzzled.
Sylvia hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to Leo and whispered, "When I looked at the three cult leaders just now, I was able to see the gods they believed in. β
"Can you see the gods?" Leo looked at Sylvia in surprise.
"No, it can't be said to be a god, it should just be an illusion created by the power of the gods. Sylvia shook her head, her eyes always looked at the few private rooms, and said: "The gods are not allowed to look directly, even if they are evil gods or false gods, they will be directly polluted by their spirits, I am looking at those three evil gods now, but there is nothing abnormal in the body, so they are definitely not real, just the illusion produced by the divine power obtained by the three cult leaders." β
Just as Sylvia spoke, Leo also turned on his spiritual vision and looked towards the three boxes, only to see that the three boxes disappeared at this moment, turning into a void, and in the void, three strange beings that could not be described in words were suspended there.
As Sylvia said, Leo didn't feel the slightest discomfort after seeing the images of the three evil gods, unlike the other gods, pseudo-gods, or demigods, who would have some mental shocks.
After retrieving the vision, Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia again, apparently Sylvia's eyes have acquired similar abilities to his vision, allowing her to see some of the truth of the world, but the difference is that Leo has absolute control over psionic energy, which can be turned off and on at any time, while Sylvia obviously has not yet controlled the power in her eyes, and can only passively receive everything she sees.
Thinking of this, Leo immediately suggested: "When you get back to the hotel, you'd better find an eye patch to cover your eyes, or use a veil to cover your eyes." β
"Why?" asked Sylvia as she was curious about the magical sight she had seen, when she heard Leo's suggestion.
"Because that prevents you from seeing things you shouldn't see. Leo said very seriously: "You also said that the gods cannot be looked at, since you can see the illusions produced by the power of the evil gods now, then you will definitely be able to see the real gods, what will you do then? Do you think you can resist the assimilation of the gods? So until you have mastered the power or ability in your eyes, you had better wear an eye patch so as not to see things that you should not see." β
After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia also realized the seriousness of the matter, and then nodded and accepted Leo's suggestion, and without waiting to return to the hotel, she saw her tearing off a strip of cloth directly from the hem of the dress, blindfolding.
"Since the cult leader has come, then St. Phosis will definitely appear, and once the battle happens, St. Phosis will definitely use the Divine Descent Technique, and it will be bad if I see the King of the Hill at that time. Sylvia knotted the strip of cloth and explained it to Leo, then let her eyes get used to the blindfolded state, and then reached out and grabbed Leo's arm, saying, "Although you can sense the situation around you in other ways, it is really uncomfortable to be in the darkness in front of your eyes." β
Leo reached out and patted the back of Sylvia's hand and said, "It's okay, when you get back to the hotel, I'll help you make a pair of eye patches that can isolate special vision, but don't affect other visions,"
Sylvia smiled and didn't speak, and the two sat quietly.
After a long time, as the seats in the downstairs hall gradually filled, the auction specially organized by the blood clan also began.
Obviously, when the blood clan issued the invitation, there was a special arrangement, usually sitting in the hall were some ordinary rich people, and the box on the first floor was relatively ordinary people with a bit of status and some people from the dark world with a little reputation and assets. The second layer is a transcendent person with a special identity like Leo and Sylvia, and the third layer is a big man with a special status and power like the leader of the cult and a big man in the normal world, such as the box above the box where Leo is now, there is a general in the Savile Kingdom who holds real power.
The master of ceremonies at the auction was obviously an experienced professional, and after waiting for such a long time, everyone present was a little annoyed, but in a few jokes and self-deprecation of the master of ceremonies, this annoyance quickly dissipated, and then the auctioneer came on the stage and listed the first lot.
In order to warm up the scene, the first auction item is naturally not suitable for ordinary things, a strange fruit from the Luxury Forest.
According to legend, the strange fruit in the Ephalice Forest is a very special spiritual material, it cannot be eaten directly, but it can be made into a special solvent by a special method, and then this solvent is mixed into the metal when forging a weapon, and after this weapon is forged, it is 100% a transcendent object.
Obviously, this strange fruit should come from the witch group, and only the witch group who can enter and exit the luxury forest can find this rare thing in the world.
As soon as this strange object fruit was picked up, it immediately attracted the attention of all the transcendent people present, they knew very well that if they had an extraordinary artifact weapon, then their strength would be increased by more than one step, and they naturally would not let go of this kind of thing that could immediately increase their strength.
As for those ordinary people who don't understand the value of strange fruits, there are many church believers, they have all read about the Luxury Forest from various canons, but they have always thought that this forest is just a lie made up by the Church, but now there is a fruit from the Luxury Forest in front of their eyes, which makes them instantly feel extremely close to the gods they believe in.
It was not for them that they had doubted the authenticity of the fruit, but when it was placed in the light of the stage by a crystal, the slightest doubt in everyone's hearts disappeared, because the fruit was as crystal clear as a gem, and the surface emitted a purple-gold mist, which looked extremely strange, and in their opinion, only a place like the Luxury Forest could grow such a fruit.
As the auctioneer shook the bell on the stage, the auction officially began, and one by one the quotations came out from the audience, at this time, it was only the ordinary people in the hall who were bidding, and the people in the surrounding box rooms were watching.
When the bidders were brushed down one by one, a light was lit up in a box on the first floor, and then the lights in the other boxes flashed one after another, and the people in the boxes began to enter the state of bidding.
"Why are you bidding?" Leo asked with a smile as he watched the lights flicker outside the box, turned his head to look at Sylvia, who had his hand on the lever.
"This kind of strange fruit is rare even in the Luxe Forest, and I have only seen it twice this time. Sylvia explained: "My current strength has increased, and the previous weapon may no longer be usable, and I need to replace it with a new weapon, so this strange thing is ......."
"There's no need, whatever weapon you want, I'll help you build it. Leo interrupted Sylvia and said, "Even without the Strange Fruit, I can make a Strange Weapon." β
"No, you don't know, the strange things made by this strange fruit are different from the strange things made by other methods. Sylvia shook her head and said.
Leo didn't stop Sylvia anymore when he heard this, but soon Sylvia withdrew from the offer, because now the people involved in the offer were already on another level, and the price was far beyond her limit, even if Leo had the funds on hand, it might not be enough, unless Leo was willing to sell the things in the storage space.
"I have a way to take it if you want it. Leo thought about it for a moment and said.
"No, the price now far exceeds the value of this fruit, and it would be foolish to bid again. Sylvia shook her head, rejecting Leo's offer, and added, "It's okay, I know there's a place where there's a Strange Fruit, but it just takes a little bit of effort, and I'm going to find it." β
Seeing that Sylvia didn't look like she was lying, Leo didn't insist anymore.
Soon the price of this strange fruit was raised to a sky-high price, and in the end, no one had this sky-high price again, and a person on the third floor became the owner of this strange fruit.
Leo's spiritual network also probed the past at this time, and found that that person should be a certain big man in Daliat, although he is an ordinary person, but the guards around him are all transcendental.
After experiencing the boom in the manufacture of the first lot, the auctioneer timely suppressed the atmosphere of the scene a little, and took the subsequent lots one by one, compared to the first lot, although the later lots are also very precious, but they are just ordinary items, far from the amazing effect.
It was in the midst of these prosaic auction items that Leo's attention was brought to the stage.
