Chapter 136: The Real Auction
In a rented room in Beckland, Furth's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and his eyes slowly opened, and he saw the bright moon hanging high outside the window, like a disc full of red light.
She was sure that she was not dreaming, and that just a few minutes of communication would change her life for the rest of her life.
She will no longer be disturbed by the crazy babbling, and her life will usher in a new beginning.
"How would Mr. 'Fate' know I wanted the potion recipe for 'Trick Ambassador'?
He already knew everything? Or maybe he could really see through my inner thoughts.
Above the gray mist, Mr. 'Fate' said that he came on his own, and that he and Mr. 'Fool' were friends? ”
……
As the stars of Forthth were cut off, Lewis sank into the gray mist, and in front of him was the cramped hotel room, and at his hand a lead box was open, and his fingers were about to touch the tufts of blue hair inside.
As if electrocuted, Lewis quickly retracted his fingers, he no longer had to touch the pollution of the Chaos Sea.
Closing the lead box and resealing the pinch of blue hair, Lewis packed up his belongings and rested.
In the early morning, the sun shines obliquely through the windows of the hotel, and the fishing boats in the harbor sail out of the dock area, and the fishermen are full of yearning for fishing.
Lewis dressed in a formal suit and a black cloak over the exterior and headed to Denia Street, where the local auction will take place.
If he's really lucky, he'll be able to come across some otherworldly items here.
According to Miss Stephanie, Lewis found the local "deep-sea auction house" and met two waiters in waistcoats outside the door.
"I'm going to the auction, and I was introduced by Miss Stephanie."
Lewis spoke briefly, and he walked in.
In front of me is a long corridor, the dark marble walls are inlaid with classical oil paintings, and there are many rooms next to the corridor.
Lewis made his way to the innermost part of the auction, where he was going today.
"Good afternoon, sir." With a professional smile, the maid brought a mask that covered half of her face.
It's very thoughtful, and the maid is also very beautiful...... Lewis took the mask and sat down in an inconspicuous position in the stepped arrangement.
There is a sign on each position, and this sign is used to increase the price.
At this time, there were already many gentlemen and wives sitting in the venue, most of them wearing formal clothes that symbolize successful people, and some of them wore casual clothes.
It's just that everyone who comes to the scene wears a mask that can cover the upper part of the face.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a stage that is not very high, and many gas lamps work in various corners of the stage, reflecting it as if it were daylight.
After a while, a gentleman in a black suit and a half-height silk top hat came out from behind the stage, took off his hat, bowed deeply, and said:
"This time, I, the well-known Mr. Curly Baboon, will preside over this auction, and now the auction will begin."
He's very self-deprecating...... Lewis smiled faintly, and the local gangsters didn't seem to be so rigid.
Immediately afterwards, a bunny girl brought a plate, and Mr. "Curly Baboon" lifted the red cloth on the plate, revealing a bottle of green potion, and said:
"Start with a little appetizer, it's a miracle potion that allows a man to show his most primitive and strongest side, capable of being a hero in bed for 30 minutes.
The starting price is £20, with a £1 increase each time! ”
Lewis recognized the bottle at a glance, it was a potion concocted by the transcendent "pharmacist", which could enhance that ability, and was loved by the nobles.
As the auctioneer's words fell, Lewis let out an exclamation when he heard a lady seem to have her mouth open wide.
Immediately, the first round of bidding began, and those ladies showed what it meant to grab, pushing the bidding to a peak.
Soon, the price of the bottle was raised to 36 pounds.
You know, such a bottle of potion can be bought directly from the "pharmacist", about 10 pounds.
"It would be nice if I could mass-produce these extraordinary potions, and now it seems that this thing is more profitable than I imagined, after all, not every man is as strong as me." Lewis silently complained in his heart.
Auction after auction round, the second being an antique vase from the Viscount's family, and the third being a house that was said to have belonged to some hapless man who had borrowed money from a loan shark.
"Now, we are going to auction a precious object, which is suspected to be a precious manuscript left by Russell the Great, which contains the Emperor's original writing, which no one has been able to decipher so far." Mr. Curly Baboon explained impassionedly.
Lewis was a little bored, the auction didn't surprise him much, and he couldn't even find a single transcendent item other than the two pages of Russell's Diary and the bottle of that elixir.
"The people who came to this auction were all ordinary people, and this was an ordinary auction at all, so it didn't help me in any way."
Just as Lewis began to complain, suddenly, he heard the sound of another auction.
The voice was not very clear, and even the transcendent of his destiny path could hardly hear the specific events, but his intuition told him that the auction was what he wanted to attend.
Picking up his cane, Lewis's figure and shadow merged, and the darkness of the auction house provided him with a suitable hiding place, making him difficult for ordinary people to spot.
A pair of hard-to-notice brown eyes walked around the stage and to the back of the stage.
Here are lined up the items to be auctioned today, including precious ceramic vases, as well as some items of commemorative value.
In his sight, there were hardly any items that shone with spiritual brilliance, which meant that there were no transcendent items in this auction that did not meet his requirements at all.
"Miss Stephanie didn't know anything about the otherworld, so the auction he introduced was just an ordinary auction, selling some aphrodisiacs at most.
However, after all, this is an auction held by a gangster, and it is impossible for a powerful gang to exist without transcendents.
So, the auction I attended was just a cover-up, and the real auction was here, maybe at my feet. ”
He could hear the sound of another auction that seemed to be clearer, literally coming from underground.
Suddenly, the image in front of Lewis's eyes flashed.
According to the foresight, he pushes away a cart containing the auction items, and underneath the cart's cover, there is a blue button.
Click......
The seamlessly sealed marble walls are opened, revealing a secret door to the real auction site.
