Marshall's [Star City] Philabi is a place with three periods of time every day, the first part is occupied by the magic sun during the day, the second part is replaced by the twinkling stars in the first half of the night, and the third part is the purer second half of the night.

Marshall followed the bear and orc Kiri, who walked back in the silver starlight, and by the way, he also tasted the famous local starfall baked cake, a kind of baked cake that fell from the sky and could sparkle in the night sky, although it didn't taste very good.

It's the middle of the night, the stars in the sky have outlawed the shining sun, and Marshall and Kiri's feet are all immersed in the soft starlight of mercury.

The starfall baked cake in the little girl's hand was unconsciously transferred to the bear orc's mouth, and he didn't have enough breakfast to evaluate this baked cake well. Kiriri found out that he was sweet, but he immediately felt very scared. Because he has no money to spoil his stomach, if he catches any bad habits, his life will be in jeopardy.

But this is also an afterword, Tong realized this, as long as he restrained it, maybe there would not be any big problems.

Philabi's travels have always been laid-back and relaxed, and in the layers of starlight, if the illusion of the mansion, how can you not stop and watch? The ground floor is high in the sky, or the high building is low in the sky, the boundary between the void and the real is no longer clear, as long as you follow the footsteps of the stars in the sky, it is absolutely impossible to get lost.

Under the [Star Metropolis], as long as you look at the stars in the sky and find the corresponding location, you can know where you want to go. William and Kirito had previously stated that the venue they were going to was about the street of Fortune, which was far away from their current location and required a horse-drawn carriage to reach it. William, of course, had been thoughtfully prepared for them at the entrance of the street, and within a certain amount of time, the carriage could stand flat on the ground with a soft call.

The two of them chose a street side where there were almost no people, and Kirito stomped his feet, and a horse-drawn carriage as black as ink appeared from the ground.

The sporadic shadows quickly floated up, and the black color of evil and good quickly combined, and the man in the top hat at the front of the car quickly jumped down and bowed slightly to them. Compared with the last coachman, this time the coachman was much more honest and didn't say anything.

With the help of Kiri, Marshall stepped into the high car, and the fatigue of the first half of the day was finally relieved in this soft and comfortable carriage.

Marshall doesn't have to worry about dinner, because with William, you can't even get a bite to eat, do you?

Looking out the window, the stars in the first half of the night seem to be inexhaustible and incomprehensible. High-rise buildings are lined up, starlight is flying, lights are flickering, all kinds of business sounds around are intertwined, and between people coming and going, a warmth slowly reveals out.

Each neighborhood of the Star City is different, and the main tone of the neighborhood color is gradually changing according to the changes of different star positions. From dark blue to indigo, from indigo to light violet, and from light purple to a faint pink, the light swirls psychedelicly through the air, flying past Marshall's outstretched window.

The crowd was bustling, and instead of being dark and cruel as William had said, it was a very normal urban scene, which made Marshall breathe a sigh of relief.

This uncle...... She finally figured out William's temperament, this guy is a bad uncle, and he always likes to talk to gods...... I always think that things will go badly, but in fact.......

Marshall blinked, but finally exhaled slowly.

Forget it, let's pinch the fleshy claws of Kiri, Marshall decided not to think about those unpleasant memories, and to enjoy the strange scenery of the streets of Sisig in the middle of the night.

If the previous streets of Destiny were nostalgic and ancient, then the streets of Fortune were as ostentatious as the nouveau riche, with all kinds of gems set on the heads of various trading houses, and brilliant glow spilled down from the cards like money.

It seems that these brilliant splendors really don't cost money, and these tricks are just leaking from the magical gems above the head, and there is basically no technical content, Marshall, who has experienced so much in the royal family, has long known this.

"The next place we need to go is the biggest auction house in Sisigne." Kiriri recalled what William had told him, "We're going to be here by the second half of the night...... There should be plenty of time. ”

"Actually, we're here now, aren't we?" Marshall blinked, with a little playfulness in his tone, "Why didn't William tell me?" ”

"Actually, he didn't tell me exactly where he was going, Mr. William only said that he was going to an auction or something......" Kiri, gently patting the bottom of the carriage with the sole of his foot, "for the rest of the matter, he said it would be arranged." ”

Marshall pursed his lips, and a trace of doubt could not help but appear in his heart.

Obviously, William would explain to her the next step before, but this time he unusually did not tell her, but adopted a way of cutting first and then playing.......

Was he afraid that he would run away? Or something else? But now that he is on the thief ship, he can't escape halfway.......

The shops in front of me are becoming more and more prosperous, and the names of the shops on the shop signs have changed from various magic goods exchanges to different names of the chambers of commerce. The flow of people who came to trade was significantly less, but in terms of their clothing, they were much more gorgeous than the previous buyers and sellers.

As time ticked by, the exterior of the shop changed once again. This did not live up to Marshall's expectations, because the sudden simplicity and noise did not correspond to the previous elegance and luxury.

In layman's terms, the current territory is like a vegetable market in the market, mixed with fish and dragons, and she can't see what is inside, and the stench in the open and secret seems to be able to pass through the cracks in the carriage and pierce straight into Marshall's nose.

"It stinks......." Marshall covered his nose to see how Kiri's reaction was.

At this time, Tong's heart had already turned up turbulent waves, this familiar stench lingered in his mind, and life in the tribe was not only bitter, but also dangerous.

This is the smell of corpses, and he will never admit it.

"Bear with it and it's over, miss." Tong didn't know how to comfort people, so he had to fill it with his fleshy body.

"We won't be here....... It's disgusting. Marshall seemed to have a bad premonition.

Kiri took out the map from his arms, stuck his head out of the window, and compared them to the stars in the sky that were constantly spinning: "It seems to be almost ......"

The time is just right, at the junction of the first half of the night and the second half of the night, as long as a certain period of time is crossed, the sky of the [Star Metropolis] will suddenly darken, except for the [Starfall] period, the deep darkness will engulf everything.

The carriage drove a little further, and the disgusting rancid stench was a little further away from them......

The carriage slowed down, and the figures in front of it had become scarce, except for a few sporadic people in plain clothes walking unhurriedly on the side of the street. Some of them were alone, others with one or two servants, and they were going in the same direction.

"They all look dressed well and formally...... You see, their brooches are all made of amethysts, so beautiful......" Marshall leaned on the car window and looked at the gentlemen who were mostly in black, "Kiri, look, Uncle William!" ”

William was dressed in a pale blue tuxedo, the saber at his waist was missing, and a silver cane was used in his hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his eyes were attentive, and when he saw that the carriage had arrived on time, he finally waved his hand reassuringly for the two of them to see.

"It's almost the second half of the night, let's go down." The forward trend of the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, and Kirito took Marshall's hand, for fear that something would happen to her little short legs, "Be careful, the steps of the carriage are relatively high." ”

"yes, I know." Marshall waved his hand vigorously at William, leaped lightly from the steps of the carriage, and landed on the steps with a clatter.

There was only a black door behind William, and even if he looked in, he couldn't see anything.

"How's it going today?" William asked.

"I haven't had enough of it, and I haven't seen the scenery here."

"Haha, then you can go again next time, can't you?" William blinked, smiled and touched Marshall's head, "We're going to have an auction next, did you just try to look inside?" Looks like a failure......"

“......”

"Don't worry, it's normal, the time is just right, I booked a box inside, the other orc retinue has been placed, and Tong will go in as our bodyguard to protect the safety of the two of us." William glared at Kiri's big belly, "Inside, all magic will be temporarily blocked, so the brute strength of the orcs is very good." ”

"I heard Tong say that the auction started in the second half of the night?"

"Well, we need to get in quickly, I told you earlier that we need a more suitable weapon, and after thinking about it, in the end, this is the most suitable place." William strode through the door of the auction hall, "This is the VIP passage, and according to the sign on my chest, he will automatically send us to the appropriate box." Ordinary customers can only sit in the second-class public seats, hehe. ”

"Then you're really rich, Mr. William." Marshall took Kiri's hand and followed behind William, feeling a little unhappy.

After passing through the curtain of darkness, what appeared in front of me was one candle after another, but these candle flames seemed to be fixed by the special magic in the eyes, and they could not emit the original heat, nor did they shake with the wind, and what they provided was only light.

The narrow passage seems to magnify the expectations in one's heart countless times, and the exit ahead appears in the form of a point of light, and then from small to large. The quiet atmosphere was replaced by a variety of noises, and even the glass barriers of the boxes could not completely block the atmosphere of the auction. The auction hall is bathed in the light of silver stars, and the gyro-shaped distribution allows the VIPs in the top box to stay away from the people who do not understand etiquette at the bottom of the box, and there will be no unpleasant quarrels and stampedes.

Here, all magic is forbidden, and the auction organizer will not be involved in mediation if a dispute arises. At this time, the collision of the flesh seems to be essential.

But none of this had anything to do with Marshall, their box was worth seven hundred gold coins after all. Well, seven hundred gold coins at a time, this is not a price that an ordinary person can take, and you can even auction some high-quality items at auction.

There was no one in the center of the auction hall yet, and the lights in the center of the dhara-shaped hall were unfocused. But it's also the last moment.

The box is fully equipped with a clean and tidy grandstand and three comfortable sofas to lie down on, and a table stuffed with fruit at the front of the sofa that can be eaten at will.

Marshall looked up along the perimeter of the box glass, and the top of this auction hall was actually unsealed! This means that all the beautiful stars in the sky can be sprinkled in the field.......

"There is a special concealment technique here, which can block all the sounds in the venue, and the effect of the open air is only an illusion, after all, this is a landmark building in the [Star City], and it will definitely not work without a lid." William reached out and grabbed a plum, threw it into his mouth and munched on it.

"Landmark?" Marshall asked, "What are they?" ”

William snapped his fingers and responded one by one: "The Ragadis Auction House, the Inverted Tower, and the Impregnation Tower, of course this Impregnation Tower is not the one you imagined. The location of every Starfall is there. ”

"I really want to know [Starfall]....... Is it that the stars in the sky will fall? Marshall tapped his fingers in confusion, how loud would it have to be for the voices below to reach here.......

"In order to obtain star power, try not to do too much of this kind of thing." William added, "But it still looks spectacular, next time I take you to see it, I guess in a few seconds, it will be dark-"

Before William could finish speaking, the starlight in the sky suddenly dimmed, and the silvery-white misty starlight stopped in unison, leaving only scattered points of light in the sky. The night sky now resembles the night of the Vatican.

Syllable! Bang bang bang!

Countless lights followed, and their target was rightly focused on the high platform in the center of the auction room, above which a presenter in a black evening dress was already standing, and the glass in Marshall's box automatically appeared on the clear content of the booth.

There was a pale gray rune floating on the host's face, and Marshall felt that this should have the effect of amplifying the voice, otherwise he would definitely not be able to transmit the sound to every corner of the venue with his small size.

"Welcome, welcome! This is the Ragdis Auction House, and welcome everyone again! ”

"Woohoo! I've been waiting here for a month, a whole month! ”

"I've got to get what I want....... Certain! ”

"It is said that this product has a juicy one....... Her assessment is tender and juicy! Gotta get her hands on her! ”

"I'll tell you secretly, this time's finale is the work of another master craftsman, Laurent Mitchell!"

"That must be a failure! But it still drains my wallet! ”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise. However, the host smiled and raised his hand upwards, and immediately pressed down, so noisy that the voices of the people who were about to overturn the entire auction hall disappeared in an instant.

"So, I'm here to explain the precautions when the Ragedis auction house is carrying out activities."

The host's eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, with a thin smile on the corner of his mouth, and his hands pulled sharply from bottom to top!

Layers of bright pink runes slid up from the bottom of the platform!

[First, there are no security facilities at the auction, if you need additional services, please consult the security office.] 】

[Second, the auction supports barter, and the specific value is judged according to the party.] 】

[Third, there is no upper and lower limit on the price of auction items, please set the price freely, if you maliciously raise the price, you will be responsible for it.] 】

"Fourth, please have fun at this great auction!"

Everyone knew that 95 percent of the participants were not able to make any money at the auction.
