Chapter 719: When the Auction Takes Place

The moment the box was picked up, Leo recognized the box at first sight, it was not gorgeous in appearance, but very simple, the surface was covered with a layer of rust due to oxidation and other reasons, and the only thing worth noting was the lock on the top of the box.

His extraordinary vision can see layers of complex Turing roots on the lock, and the spirit network can also feel the energy fluctuations transmitted from the lock, this energy fluctuation is not strong at first glance, but if it penetrates, he can feel the stormy waves under the calm appearance.

The manager of the black market in Port Set, the Kingdom of England, mentioned that the black market had tried to use external forces to destroy the box and take out the contents of it, but at that time he only mentioned that he was not able to destroy the box, but now it seems that not only did he not destroy the box, but it is more likely that he suffered from the backlash of the box, causing some casualties, and more than once, otherwise the black market would not have given up this thing and brought it to auction.

After the box was picked up, the auctioneer told the origin of the box and some of the problems encountered in the black market, and mentioned a little bit that the black market encountered some small accidents when destroying the box with external forces, causing some small damage, and then changed the conversation, constantly hinting to the people in the audience and the box that this box may be a relic of the tower, which hides a big secret about the tower, so it will be protected with such a powerful force.

For ordinary people, Tower Wizard is just an ordinary name, they don't know what Tower Wizard represents in the Dark World, but for people in the Dark World, Tower Wizard is almost like a god, and any relic inherited from the Tower is extraordinary.

But all the people who are also tempted by this box are also worried, because there have been many tower relics in the past, and those relics do have things that can improve people's strength and obtain certain benefits, but many more relics are the embodiment of calamity.

The recent disaster that occurred in turn in the tower relics of the Mares Kingdom was the disaster at Count Agatha's house half a year ago, and the tower relics bought by Count Agatha were suddenly activated, instantly turning Count Agatha's manor and the surrounding villages into a murderous place wrapped in countless black plants, and Count Agatha's family all died there, and even the souls after death were bound in that murderous place and could not be freed.

Many people passing by the Earl Agatha's manor could hear the terrible screams coming from the manor, day and night.

So when the auctioneer explained that the contents of the box were sealed by a powerful force because they were extremely valuable, those people in the dark world had a different idea in their hearts, and in their opinion, the contents of the box were probably sealed into the box by the tower wizard with such great power because of the extreme danger.

There were obviously the majority of people who had this idea, so when the auctioneer suggested that an offer could be made, the whole hall became quiet, and no one bid, which made the experienced auctioneer feel a little embarrassed.

Although Leo wanted the box very much, he did not wait for the offer, but waited quietly, until the auctioneer repeatedly urged that the auction was about to fail, he pulled the switch next to it, let the light of the offer light on, and quoted a reserve price.

At the moment of Leo's offer, the entire hall looked at Leo in unison, as if they wanted to see who was so bold to offer this dangerous thing.

However, Leo had already closed the curtains of the box beforehand, and used rune traps to set up a distraction field, making it impossible for those who wanted to investigate Leo's identity to do so.

However, Leo's offer is like an introduction, and many people who are also interested in this box, but are a little worried, have also put aside a little bit of scruples, and have made offers, and the scene has gradually returned to liveliness.

While others were bidding, Leo stopped bidding again and watched quietly.

"If you don't have enough money on hand, I can ......," Sylvia whispered, thinking that Leo didn't have enough money in reserve.

"No, I've got a lot of money, I'm just waiting for the right moment. Leo smiled and patted Sylvia's arm to signal her to relax, then turned his attention back to the auction floor.

The people in the lobby began to quote various prices one by one, gradually pushing the price to a small height, and those who were interested in the box began to gradually give up, and finally only one person quoted a relatively high price.

At this point, the auctioneer reconfirmed the offer and said that if no one else bid, the thing would belong to the young man.

And Leo made a second bid at this moment, and the price he gave was slightly higher than that person.

Leo's bid also stimulated the interest of others in the auction, and a new round of bidding began, but the amount of this round of bidding was no longer as wide as the previous one, but was close to the previous one.

This round of bidding did not last too long, and it ended quickly, and after the last person quoted a high price, no one was bidding, and the auctioneer confirmed it again.

At this time, Leo asked for the third time, and this time the price was close to the previous price. It's just that after this offer, no one followed the offer anymore, not even those who were interested in the box, but glared at the box room where Leo was.

"Looks like they're all thinking of you as a black marketeer. Sylvia quickly understood Leo's intentions, leaned over to Leo's side and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning." ”

Leo smiled and didn't speak.

After that, as he expected, no one made any more bids, and the box was returned to him at the moment when the auctioneer dropped the hammer, and the people who participated in the auction before also looked at the box here gloatingly, as if they felt that the black market was self-defeating this time and smashed the things in their hands.

Leo didn't get carried away, just called in the waiter who was guarding the door, and then paid enough money for the waiter to bring the things.

The fact that he had already received what he wanted and that he had paid only half the money he had expected made Leo feel much more comfortable and interested in looking at other auction items.

In the subsequent auction, Leo also made several bids, buying a string of jewels for Sylvia, and also bought some psionic substances to replenish consumption.

Towards the end of the ordinary auction item, the box that Leo bought was also delivered by the waiter and handed over to him.

The moment he got the box, Leo's attention was no longer on the auction floor, and his eyes were completely drawn to the lock on the box.

After seeing the locks on the box, Leo knew where the Turing words that the wizard who set up the black market knew were coming from, and it was obvious that the Turing roots layered on top of these locks were the source.

Although the Turing roots on the box lock are not the most complex Turing root combinations that Leo has ever seen, the combination of these Turing roots is the first time Leo has seen them, and this method has made these Turing roots begin to transform into three-dimensional roots, but these Turing roots still lack key root link elements, so that these Turing roots have not been able to further transform.

"Are you going to undo these locks here?" asked Sylvia when she noticed Leo staring at the locks without blinking.

Hearing this, Leo came back to his senses from thinking about the Turing root, shook his head slightly, and said: "The Turing root on the lock is very complicated, it is a combination of Turing root that has never been seen before, and it takes a while to crack the mystery, and it is not something that can be done in a short time." ”

Sylvia pointed to the outside of the box and said, "In that case, let's take a look at the next auction first! ”

Leo followed Sylvia's advice and sent the box directly to the storage space, where he would study it when he had time.

After turning his attention back to the auction, he realized that the squire of the Bloodclan was asking the ordinary people sitting in the middle seat to leave, and it was clear that the last few special items were not for ordinary people to have.

Although the ordinary people who participated in the auction were extremely curious about what those special items were, they didn't dare to mess around in the venue of the blood clan, and they all got up and left in an orderly manner.

The auctioneer who presided over the auction before has gone down, and what came up was a very beautiful and bewitching blood woman, although from the outside, she seemed to be very weak, but those who knew her knew that this female blood clan was definitely not good.

"Bloody Lady Natasha!" Sylvia directly revealed the identity of the other party, and emphasized: "She is a famous slut of Mares, and she has been on almost all of Mares's expensive beds, including women. ”

Hearing Sylvia's disdainful words, Leo looked at her thoughtfully, and saw that her face turned red and she tilted her head to the side.

Leo smiled, then turned to look at the Bloodmaiden, but he didn't look at the Bloodlady's appearance, but at the inside.

After a while, Leo suddenly asked, "Can the Bloodline also have faith?"

"Faith?" Sylvia hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember that the Bloods don't seem to believe in other gods, even if they are evil gods, they only believe in their ancestors, the earliest Bloods, the demigod vampires. As she spoke, she looked at Leo puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did you suddenly ask such a strange question?"

Leo prompted, "Pull the cloth covering your eyes a little and look at the baroness you said." ”

When Sylvia heard this, she pulled the strip of cloth from her eyes up slightly, opened a hole, and looked at the bloody baroness.

The moment she saw the baronesse, the glamorous baroness in Sylvia's eyes immediately changed, her body expanded rapidly, expanding into a huge ball of flesh, and the ball of flesh was surrounded by various thorny tentacles, and there was a mouth at the front of each tentacle saying something one by one.

"Damn!" Sylvia immediately closed her eyes when she saw the monster's form, and pulled the strip of cloth back down, and couldn't help but wonder, "How could she believe in the god of clever words, hasn't the god of clever words fallen?"

"The God of Clever Words?" After Leo heard Sylvia's words, relevant information immediately appeared in his mind, and confirmed, "The God of Clever Words you are talking about is the deity that the first Orthodox Church to disappear believed in?"

"Hmm!" Sylvia nodded and said, "Back then, the Orthodox Church was indeed sure that the God of Clever Words had fallen, and the church of the God of Clever Words was soon dissolved, and both the clergy and the believers were scattered to other churches. As she spoke, Sylvia tried to lift the strip of cloth and looked at the Baroness of the Bloods again, and after confirming that she was not mistaken, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why does the God of Clever Words still exist?"

"Are you sure this is the god of clever words?" Leo frowned and said, "I remember that in the canon of the Orthodox Church, the god of clever words is a handsome young male, and the difference between this extremely ugly monster is too great. ”

"Don't speculate about God's things with common sense. Sylvia suddenly said to Leo with some seriousness: "On the first day I joined the Orthodox Church, the old knight who brought me into the house said this to me, just like a bird looks at a human being as a monster with teeth and claws, and we see God as the same, but for the adaptation of ordinary believers, the church will create a humanoid god statue for people to worship." ”

Leo didn't bother with the appearance of the god anymore, and approached the more strange form of the omega-level advanced lifeforms, like the current appearance of the god of clever words is obviously quite normal.

"A fallen god is now resurrected, and there's a Bloodline cultist?" Leo frowned and said, "How does this matter feel strange?"

Sylvia also nodded in agreement, if she was still the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church, she would definitely investigate this matter and spread the news of the resurrection of the god of clever words by the way, but now she was just a bystander, as long as the matter did not provoke her, she would not pay attention to these problems.

While the two were talking, the room had been cleaned up again, and the lady was also standing in the auctioneer's place, and the bell rang twice, and then directly announced that the auction of the second half of the special items had begun, and motioned for the attendant behind the stage to bring up the first lot.

The first auction item was so large that it required the efforts of six Bloodborns to lift it up and move it to the middle of the stage.

After placing the auction item down, the Bloody Baroness motioned to remove the fabric from the auction item, revealing the object inside.

Everyone who saw the object let out an exclamation, but only Leo was so shocked that he got up from his chair, and his unusual behavior caught Sylvia's attention, causing her to lift a little blindfold and look towards the stage.
