Chapter Seventy-Four: The Secret Auction

Zuo Si didn't know anything about the fact that he had been targeted by the famous evil organization [Entanglement Talisman] of Faerun.

When he returned to the inn, the first thing he did was to pull out the Soldier card that had been reborn from the [Graveyard], intending to upgrade it with the remaining mana in the mana pool.

After last night's attack, he found that with the warrior level of soldier LV5, maybe it would be okay to deal with the ruffians and miscellaneous soldiers.

But it's still a little too weak compared to those higher-level warriors, thieves, assassins, and killers.

It has to be strengthened.

However, after injecting mana equivalent to ten times the summoning cost, Zuo Si suddenly found that there were two completely different upgrade routes on the upper and lower sides of this card.

Among the upward upgrades are the equipment, level, and combat skills of the summoned soldiers.

And the downward upgrade is the number of soldiers.

In other words, you can only summon one soldier, but after leveling up, it will become two or three, and then you will become four or six, and so on.

The former takes the elite route.

In the end, he may be the kind of tough warrior who can rush into the crowd and open the matchless.

The latter takes the quantitative route.

At the end of the upgrade, a single card may summon a legion.

"Huh? And branches! ”

Zuo Si seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his face was full of surprise.

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to choose at this time.

After all, no matter which one you give up, it will make people feel like they have lost a lot of money.

But after only pondering for a moment, he immediately chose the elite route.

And it still costs a full 50 mana points, and it is upgraded by two levels in one go.

[Creature Card: Human - Heavy Soldier]

[LV3 White Card (Upgradeable)]

[Card Quality: Normal]

[Effect: Summons a seasoned soldier with LV9 warrior level and rich combat experience.]

The Soldier may be a melee unit wearing full body armor, a fully enclosed steel helmet, and wielding a +1 sword and a +1 kite-shaped steel shield, and is proficient in military swordsmanship, shield strikes, onslaught, and charges;

It could also be an archer armed with a +1 compound bow, wearing a half-breastplate, and carrying a bag of 40 +1 arrows, skilled in precision, sniping, and fast climbing, and movement.

Whether it's a melee or ranged unit, it can understand any language you speak, and obey every command given to you until you are killed or your summons are canceled.

[To use this card, you need to pay 4 white mana, or 4 universal mana]

[When the summoned soldier is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard to wait for rebirth for three days]

I have to say that after upgrading, both the level and the equipment are reborn compared to before.

Without any hesitation, Zuo Si directly chose to pay four fees to activate the card.

Moment!

A warrior who was so heavily armed that he barely had two eyes leaking out appeared out of thin air.

He didn't even hesitate for a second, he directly took off his helmet to reveal that familiar face, and said with a smile: "Master, I have become stronger." ”

"Welcome back!"

Zuo Si also appeared with a faint smile.

He could clearly observe that the muscles hidden in the heavy armor of the soldier were much more developed than before.

This also means that its strength and constitution attributes have been greatly improved.

Although there is already a [Shadow Minion] who can stay on guard twenty-four hours a day, Yelinia, and a large number of Shadows transformed by her.

But after seeing the returning soldiers, Zuo Si still felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Just as he was about to practice the spell casting technique for a while, and then lie on the bed and sleep with his eyes closed, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Immediately after, the werewolf girl's voice came through the crack in the door.

"The hosts! Did you sleep? ”

"Something?"

Zuo Si subconsciously asked, and at the same time motioned for the soldier to open the door.

In about two seconds, Van Gers's figure appeared at the door of the room.

She first stared at the soldier who had "come back from the dead" with a look of shock and disbelief, and after a while she came back to her senses and stammered, "Lord...... Master! A clansman who was looking around on the street had overheard a whispered conversation between two merchants.

At about nine o'clock this evening, on a ship docked at the dock, a secret auction will be held.

There will be a lot of interesting stuff then.

These include all kinds of rare slaves, funerary goods dug up from the tomb of an ancient elf, all kinds of strange animals, magical creatures, and their eggs and cubs.

I think you might be interested in this news. ”

"Secret auction?" Zuo Si froze slightly.

In a "megacity" like Port Carlin, where commerce is thriving and smuggling is everywhere, auctions are held almost daily.

It's just that some are "legal" and some are "not legal".

Of course, the "legal" and "unlawful" do not refer to compliance with the law in the ordinary sense.

It's a completely different meaning.

"Legal" means that you have paid a "protection fee" to the thieves' guild that controls the area, and it has nothing to do with normal taxes.

Only after obtaining a certificate of "legality" can the auction be held normally.

Otherwise, the leader of the thieves' guild will use a series of methods such as theft, threats, kidnapping, and setting fire to the warehouses to force the auction organizers to submit.

If it's serious, you will lose your life.

As for "illegal", it naturally refers to those who are bold and do not want to pay protection money.

Since the streets of Port Carlin are firmly controlled by the thieves' guilds, "illegal" auctions can only be held secretly on ships.

Customers are usually old customers, or they are rich people who have been tested in advance to confirm that the other party will not betray them.

In short, such "illegal" secret auctions often come up with some curious things that are not available on the market.

"Do you know where the auction is and how to get in?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

The werewolf girl shook her head slightly: "I don't know. But Olise used his nose to remember the smell of the two men who were talking about the story. Just take two turns along the port terminal and you'll find it! ”

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Zuo Si quickly made a decision after a little thought.

Whether it's for the pet he's always wanted, or to make a creature card to complete a mission, he's going to try his luck.

Otherwise, just counting on the pet market, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the magic creature I like when the daylilies are cold.

After all, there are quite a few Mages and Warlocks in Port Carlin, and they have the same needs.

But rare, precious, and useful magical creatures are just that little to grab.

In this way, Zuo Si took enough money, and together with the soldiers and two little werewolves, left the inn in the dark of night and went straight to the noisy dock.

Even though it was completely dark, there were still many coolies and slaves carrying heavy loads.

In taverns and inns, large and small, all of them are filled with drunken and even unconscious sailors.

Some energetic fellows who have suffocated on the sea are sweating and exercising vigorously with scantily clad women directly in inconspicuous dark corners.

Depraved!

Pamper!

Catharsis!

It all adds up to a stunning picture.
