Chapter 57: Alchemical Weapons

The first lot was brought up, covered with a red flannel, and all the guests in the opera house were glued to the tray in the auctioneer's hand.

"The first lot of the night."

The auctioneer carefully placed the tray on the display table and immediately bowed deeply to all the guests of the opera house.

"The past of this object is full of gray mythology, and it carries a curse."

"In the past, its owners, without exception, chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building to end their lives."

"This also includes the 18th-century Russian princess Leonila Galitzine-Bariatinsky."

The auctioneer's voice became eerie, telling the strangeness of the item.

However, the look of anticipation on the faces of the guests did not fade because of this, but aroused their interest even more.

The people who can come here are half-bloods, and they know very well that the so-called weird is not really weird.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had been stirred, the auctioneer reached out and pinched the corner of the red cloth and gently tore it open, allowing the item on the plate to bask in the spotlight of the opera house.

But that precious object was not illuminated by the light, it was still dark and deep, like a bottomless black hole, lying quietly in the tray.

"Black Ollov, also known as the 'Eye of the Creator'."

The auctioneer pronounced the name of the black diamond.

"Legend has it that in the ancient Indian area of Punditheri, there is a magnificent 'Brahma Temple', which houses the image of the Hindu god of creation, 'Brahma', and its eyes are the most precious gem in all of India."

"Then Brahma was furious and sent down a curse, and all who possessed this black diamond would die."

The deep and dull diamond is the eye of all guests, especially women.

Gemstones have a natural and fatal attraction for women, and they gently cover their snow-white breasts, and even with all the terrible legends, they can't extinguish the sparkle in their eyes trying to claim the diamond for themselves.

"The Eye of the Creator weighed 195 carats when it was removed from the statue, and it was divided into three pieces to break the legendary curse, and it was collected by private collectors. Since then, there have been no accidents with its owner. ”

The auctioneer said, his hands in white velvet gloves carefully pinching the black gem so that the guests of the opera hall could get a better glimpse of the mysterious gem.

"The main reason is that the alchemy realm in the diamond has been lifted, otherwise even a half-breed would not be able to withstand its realm stimulation."

Someone beside Lu Mingfei said softly.

He turned his head sideways and saw a young girl sitting next to him, about twenty years old, her eyes like two faint golden lights.

"Krellisa. Donna, you can call me Donna. ”

She smiled and stretched out her hand to show her friendship to Lu Mingfei.

"Katos. Road. ”

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and held the other party's delicate palm.

"You're quite low-key," Donna withdrew her hand with a smile after the ceremony, and the golden glow in her eyes dimmed, "I don't know when someone started to set fire the golden pupils in order to show off the purity of their bloodline, trying to put pressure on others, making it like a masquerade." ”

"There's nothing to brag about."

Lu Mingfei disagreed.

"It's true that maintaining this state looks majestic, but it's actually exhausting enough."

Donna agreed.

"You said that diamond has an alchemy field in it?"

Lu Mingfei was more interested in these stories.

"That's right, an alchemy realm that has been in a state of awakening."

"Ordinary humans who possess it are stimulated by its bewilderment, and have the illusion that they have become angels, and want to fly with their wings - and then jump off the building and fall to their deaths."

Donna said, "But now it should be harmless, the alchemy field has been physically destroyed, if there is an alchemist who wants to buy it back and delve into the incomplete alchemy field, it is not impossible, but the biggest use of this diamond at present is to make a necklace and wear it on the chest of a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene had reached a threshold, the auctioneer on the stage put the black diamonds back on the tray and struck them down with a mahogany hammer:

"The owner of the Black Orlof has given us the right to set the price at the Sobis auction house, and this diamond, which has been divided into three black Orlovs, is the smallest of the three pieces, and it also weighs a staggering 61.5 carats, and it is perfect without impurities, plus the mysterious story and history behind it—"

"According to the jewelry appraisal appraisal by Sobis Auction House, the starting price of this black Olof will be $4 million, with a minimum price increase of $100,000 each time."

Four million dollars for a stone...... Lu Mingfei shook his head, only a fool would-

Unexpectedly, as soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a "fool" immediately raised the number plate impatiently:

"4.1 million!"

However, the auctioneer did not make any moves, just smiled gracefully and looked at the entire opera house.

"4.5 million."

"4.8 million."

"5 million."

……

The outcry is like a wave of money.

In various story books, dragons are creatures who love to collect gold and precious stones, and they sleep on their stomachs in mountains of treasures.

Apparently half-breeds have inherited this fetish, and according to Ange, half of the world's top art collectors are mixed-blood.

In the end, the black Orlof diamond sold for $9 million.

"There are so many fools."

Lu Mingfei put down the sign in his hand and quietly waited for the appearance of the "weightlifting as light" alchemy field construction book.

"Indeed, for a smart person like me, with a minimum deposit of two million US dollars, I am afraid that the starting price of most auction items is more than this amount, purely to watch the excitement."

Donna said with a smile.

The auction continues, and the second lot is a heavy topaz brick carving, not like the black Orlov that has any curses and legends, and which has little special except for the recording of a few dragon inscriptions, and belongs to an art collection.

The starting bid was $4.2 million, and after several rounds of bidding, it sold for $9.5 million.

The third ......

Fourth......

Until the sixth auction item caught Lu Mingfei's attention.

This time, the auction items were carried out of the scarlet curtain by two burly and stout men.

This item is also covered with red velvet silk, and the shape is a long flat box, and it is unknown if this is one of the auction items.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction item is an alchemical weapon."

"Its caster ......," the auctioneer paused, "have you ever heard of 'Mímir'?" ”

Every time the dealer introduced the lot, he would tell a little story or rumor about it, and as soon as he said this, the golden eyes of many buyers who were familiar with Norse mythology stared at the lot even brighter.

"Who is Mímir?"

When the auction item was brought up, Lu Mingfei vaguely guessed that the thing might be a long sword or a big sword;

But as for who "Mímir" is in Norse mythology, he has little recollection.

He asked Donna beside him.

"Mímir, Mimir, the wisest god of the Esir tribe in Norse mythology, resides in a well beneath one of the three roots of the World Tree, known as the Well of Wisdom, from which the main god Odin drank water and gained wisdom."

"At the same time, he was also a mythical blacksmith, a master forger, who forged many things known to the Lord God Odin."

Donna explained to him softly.

On the stage, the auctioneer unveiled the red flannel, and the spotlight fell on the long wooden box on the display table, which was carried up by two burly men.

Lying in the wooden box was a two-handed knight's sword, the hilt of which seemed to be made of silver vines, and the rungs on both sides were winged and curved in the direction of the sword;

The sword body was tough and slender, and the dark golden sharp light flowed along the blades on both sides, and when the strong white light of the spotlight fell on the sword, a faint cyan light appeared, as if it had turned into a waterfall and rolled down.

"The alchemy long sword, unnamed, is 133cm long, 2.7cm wide, and weighs 43.7 kilograms in a normal way, similar in style to a medieval cavalry two-handed sword."

"It is rumored that Mimir in the real world is a noble sub-species, but he is indeed a true alchemist."

"This alchemy sword came from his hand, and the sword has the name of its dragon on it."

The auctioneer said, and the burly man behind him, who had not yet left, took out the knight's sword from the wooden box, and raised it high with difficulty in each hand grasping the rung.

When the guests were allowed to see the dragon text on the sword, they also saw the bare and hideous green tendons on his biceps and triceps.

"This alchemy sword comes with an unknown alchemy realm, and when a hybrid with a lower bloodline uses this sword, the weight of the sword will increase several times or even more than ten times;"

"And when a hybrid with a high bloodline is used, the weight of the sword will remain the same."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, his eyes quietly looked at the VIP room on the second floor.

The young hybrids who had stood up and walked to the windowsill with a brighter light in their eyes than anyone else.

Lu Mingfei's heart beat "thump", and his body seemed to involuntarily resonate with the sword on the stage.

He quickly adjusted his mind and calmed down, but his gaze was also a little fiery as he stared at the long sword in the center of the stage.

He's also a good swordsman!

The Warband has always used the Chainsaw Sword as a weapon - that's because the Warband only has the Chainsaw Sword, and the only power greatsword is the Warband's exclusive weapon.

"Alien alchemy weapon...... The quality should be good. ”

Lu Mingfei had already picked up the brand, ready to buy it first.

"The starting price is $7 million, and each increase must not be less than $200,000."

The auctioneer knocked down the mahogany hammer, "Please start bidding." ”
