readx;
When a customer came to the door, the old man sitting on the wooden chair did not get up to welcome him, but just put down the teacup and made an inviting gesture to Han Fei, motioning for Han Fei to sit down opposite him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After Han Fei took his seat, he asked, "What do you want to know?" One question and one price, no counteroffer, no guarantee that it is absolutely correct. ā
Han Fei nodded and asked, "Do you have any information about the Assassin Alliance?"
"A gold coin. The old man said very dryly.
Han Fei was stunned for a moment, and with one hand reached into his pocket and took out the gold coins and put them on the table, could it be that the information about the Assassin Alliance was not a secret?
"Yes!" said the old detective, putting away the gold coin.
Han Fei finally understood, it turned out that he was asking for money like this, and this explorer was very similar to those lawyers in his previous life.
He didn't dare to ask the next question, a gold coin is also money! After thinking about it for a while, Han Fei said bluntly: "I want to know about the situation of the Assassin Alliance, how much does it cost to buy a document? The more detailed, the better!"
Since someone had used the Assassin Alliance to deal with him, Han Fei certainly wanted to know the details of this enemy, and he had a hunch that the person behind the scenes would definitely not be willing to fail once, and he really didn't get much information from Mrs. Rose.
The old detective pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We don't know much about the Assassin Alliance, and we don't leak some information, I can give you all the information that can be sold, five hundred gold coins." ā
"Deal!" Han Fei agreed without hesitation, taking out five spirit crystal coins and placing them on the wooden table.
The old detective nodded, stretched out his left hand and scratched it on the crystal coin, and the spirit crystal coin suddenly disappeared, and there was a thick book on the table.
Han Fei noticed that he was wearing a silver ring on his left hand, there was no doubt that it was definitely a Gift Ring, and it was also the third Gift Ring that Han Fei had seen.
Putting away the book, Han Fei asked a third question, "I want to know the whereabouts of the artifact Frost Sorrow." ā
The answer to this question is worth a thousand gold coins, and the answer is quite simple, the first of the ten major artifacts, the weapon that the Night Martial Emperor relied on to sweep the world, Frost Sorrow, fell into the hands of the barbarians more than three hundred years ago, and has been kept in the palace treasury of the Titan Empire, and few people know this secret.
Han Fei smiled bitterly in his heart, this basically meant that it was almost impossible for him to have this peerless divine weapon to open the secret treasure of the Night Martial Emperor, unless he could be promoted to the Martial God of Silence, but when he reached the supreme realm of this warrior, what use could the things left by the Night Martial Emperor be?
Forget it, let that money-greedy dragon sleep for another thousand years! Since there is no hope, Han Feisuo will give up and stop thinking about it.
Without asking a fourth question, he got up and left for the dungeon's temple, as an auction was about to begin, which had something to do with him.
The temple in the center of the dungeon is the most complete and luxurious building in the city, it is a square building with a dome of round dome, made of huge rocks, at least twenty meters high from the ground to the top. The temple is pale gold, all the walls are covered in exquisite reliefs, and sixteen huge stone pillars stand around it, which is magnificent and magnificent.
A wide and smooth path led to the entrance of the temple, and with the VIP badge on his chest, Han Fei passed the guard's guard post without any problems, and entered the hall of the temple under the guidance of a beautiful maid.
The hall of the temple is generally a place of worship for worshippers, so the area is very large, but here the hall has been transformed into a pattern similar to that of an opera house, with a high square stone platform on one side, and rows of stepped seats on the other three sides, each seat is separated separately, equipped with sofas, coffee tables and other utensils, and there are special maids to provide services on the side.
Han Fei's badge was numbered, and he also sat in the corresponding small room No. 76, where the young and beautiful maid poured tea for him and introduced him to the rules of the auction.
This rule has many similarities with the auction rules of those auction houses in Han Fei's previous life, with a special auctioneer abbot, a reserve price and a markup, and the highest bidder wins, etc.
Han Fei observed, this auction hall had almost three or four hundred seats, and now it was basically full, basically all of them were wearing robes and masks like him, the atmosphere in the hall was very calm, and everyone was quietly waiting for the auction to start.
Han Fei learned from Madame Rose that an auction like this is an auction that can only be held once a month by the major forces that jointly control the dungeon, except for the major families, and in addition to the normal auction, they also have the intention of showing each other's strength and comparing each other, so what can be put up for auction must be very precious and rare.
About ten minutes later, the special auction of the thieves' guild officially began, and the auctioneer of the abbot's auction was none other than Madame Rose.
Madame Rose changed into a red embroidered dress and pulled up her long hair with a smile, and she thanked all the guests for their presence with a smile, and soon launched her first lot.
Four burly samurai carefully carried a crystal glass water tank four or five meters long and placed it on the auction table, and what caught everyone's attention was a mermaid swimming around in the tank!
That's right, it's a mermaid! Han Fei almost wanted to rub his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, the mermaid in the tank was nearly two meters long, with the body of a human girl, and below the waist was a fish tail wrapped in red scales!
This mermaid has long golden shawl hair, her appearance is extremely beautiful, her upper body is completely **, but the two blushes on her chest are covered by two shells, and a pair of blue eyes look at everyone in the audience in horror.
"The first lot that our union has given you dignitaries, a fish-man girl from the deep sea!" Lady Rose introduced with a smile, "In order to capture her, three entire teams of powerful adventurers were wiped out in the battle against the Sea Clan. ā
"The reserve price of the auction is 100,000 gold coins, and the price will be increased by 10,000 gold coins each time!"
The Sea Clan is the overlord of the sea, and even when the Demon Clan dominates the continent, he never dares to challenge the rule of the Sea Clan, but the same Sea Clan cannot run to the land to compete for dominance, and the two sides have always been at peace. However, after the four major races drove out the demons, out of the need for navigation and transportation and the desire for the wealth contained in the sea, the human race and the sea tribe clashed, and the emboldened slave traders extended their black hands to the sea tribe.
It is said that the tears shed by the fish-man girl will turn into pearls, and the fishtail will become Chengren's legs when it falls to the ground, and almost all kinds of things about the fish-man exist in legends, and there are probably few people present who have seen the real fish-man, so her appearance as the first lot immediately caused a sensation on the scene.
"Twenty-two, 110,000 gold coins!"
"Sixteenth, 130,000 gold coins!"
......... Almost at the same time that Madame Rose shouted the reserve price, the fierce bidding began, and one by one the maids shouted their bids, and they naturally represented the objects of their respective services.
At the beginning of the auction, the atmosphere was quickly pushed to the **, a crisp and moving sound sounded one after another, and Mrs. Rose, who did not need to act as an auctioneer, mobilized the emotions of the auctioneers, and the hall had become hot.
Looking at the legendary beautiful fishman on the auction table, and seeing her trembling with her arms folded in the water tank, Han Fei's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.
It's just pity for mercy, and Han Fei has no ability to change her situation, and the price of the auction quickly climbs to 300,000 gold coins, as if this money is not money at all.
After a fierce competition, the deep-sea fish-man girl was finally bought by the No. 2 buyer at a sky-high price of 470,000.
Such a price is completely incredible in Han Fei's opinion, although the fish-man girl is rare and rare, but at most she can be a slave pet, it seems that whether it is in the past life or this life, there will always be no shortage of people who have money to burn in a panic.
This price also made Madame Rose very satisfied, according to the rules of the auction house, once the auction was successful, the thieves' union, as the main auctioneer, could take away one-tenth of the commission, and the profit was absolutely huge.
Of course, the next lot is not an ordinary product, there are high-end spirit weapons, rare materials, etc., but Han Fei gradually lost much interest, because no matter which item he can't afford, it is in vain to look at it, Suo took out the information about the Assassin Alliance that he bought from the Explorer from the ring and looked at it.
However, when the twelfth lot appeared, Han Fei immediately put away the information and was in good spirits, because what was auctioned was the spirit crystal and scorpion bead of the red-eyed poisonous giant scorpion that he had entrusted to the thieves' guild to sell.
"The spirit crystals and scorpion beads of the fourth-order spirit beast Red Eye Poison Giant Scorpion, the perfect quality is very rare, especially the scorpion beads are even rarer, both are auctioned at the same time, and the auction reserve price is 50,000 gold coins!" Madame Rose said loudly.
The first eleven lots were all sold at very high prices, which was undoubtedly an exciting start, and the smile on Madame Rose's face as the main auctioneer never disappeared for a moment.
But to her and Han Fei's surprise, when the spirit crystal and scorpion bead of the red-eyed poisonous giant scorpion were grandly launched, there was actually a cold scene in the hall, and no one bid for the auction!
"The spirit crystals and scorpion beads of the fourth-order spirit beast Red Eye Poison Giant Scorpion, has anyone bid?" Madame Rose had to shout again.
According to the rules of the auction, if no one bids three times in a row, then the lot is considered unsold!
