Chapter 121: New Accessories and the Abyss
As for the items auctioned at the auction on the magic airship, Xu Yue didn't feel that there were many items needed, but he was a little interested in the strange auction items that Christina said. But as soon as he opened the list of strange items and browsed through them, one of them surprised him.
It was a silver drop-shaped object, both in appearance and appearance, exactly like the Boundary Gate Accessory that had appeared on the corpse of the attacked caravan man he had encountered on his first trip to Black Rock City. At the beginning, after the Boundary Gate fused that accessory, there was a fixed positioning and crossing coordinate point on the Earth and Talumia's side, and at that time, Xu Yue felt that there might be more than one accessory for the Boundary Gate, so he had asked Ai Wo to help find such a silver metal droplet-like item for the past two years, but there had been no progress in the past two years, and he didn't expect to meet it at the temporary auction held on the magic airship today.
Xu Yue's expression changed and disappeared in an instant, and Christina next to her did not show anything. The attention of this second-level beauty magician at this time was attracted by a pink magic necklace on the auction table.
On the earth, women's ornaments are mostly made of white gold, diamonds and other items, and only in this way can the preciousness of the ornaments be reflected. At that time, on the Talumia side, for professionals, especially female professionals, the function of ornaments should not only be beautiful, but also practical. Therefore, even if the female professionals here wear accessories, they have to choose magical items on the side. However, there are certain requirements for the production of magic items, and you want to come across one that is both beautiful. Magical and practical magic accessories are very rare.
Christina's favorite magic ornament is engraved with a fifth-level protective magic 'Water Blue Shield', which can be said to be quite good in terms of protection ability. What's even more rare is that the magician who made this necklace obviously understands the hearts of female consumers, and the style of this necklace is very exquisite and beautiful. It's no wonder that Christina, as a female magician, was attracted.
The next bid made Xu Yue startled, this magic necklace, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at most, was actually loved by several female magicians present, and more than a dozen women bid like crazy. In the end, it was Christina, a noble magician, who overpowered the others, and finally auctioned the magic necklace for nearly one and a half million, but this price was already several times inflated.
Many of the men present watched in amazement as more than a dozen women competed for a magic necklace, and many of the male companions of the women who participated in the bidding turned a little blue, because no matter what the final price was. Eighty percent of them are still out of their pockets. If it weren't for the fact that several men had barely held their wives and lovers who had lost their minds, the price of this necklace would have been much higher.
Xu Yue even saw that when the magic necklace finally fell into Christina's hands, several partners who participated in the bidding women's actions seemed to be very relieved as if they were happy. His heart was filled with sympathy. It seems that women's pursuit of tidying up and clothes is regardless of world and profession, as long as they are on the side of these aspects, whether it is a rich woman on the earth or a female magician in Talumia, the combat power will explode in an instant.
The auction was, after all, semi-temporary. So the auction items are not too many. In just half an hour, the normal auction items had been auctioned. The finale was a sixth-level staff, which was finally photographed by a sixth-level old magician who looked not too old.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going on next is a very interesting auction. I'm sure many people are already familiar with the process of auctioning strange things, but I still want to reiterate it here. The strange objects in this auction are all unknown items that have emerged from the ruins, and their functions and functions may not be clear even to the appraisers at the Magic Guild Headquarters. It may be a dusty treasure, or it may just be a strange ordinary item, so please understand that the Magic Guild will not make any guarantees for any items that are photographed. All right. I announce that the Wonder Auction is now open, please see the first item we are going to auction. The auctioneer of the auction said to the crowd in the room.
I saw an object that looked like a gear being placed on a tray and brought up. The auctioneer put the gear on the auction table and said to the crowd: "This item has emerged from a ruin on the border of the Merck Kingdom, a small country in Dongda 6. We all know that the current land of the Merck Kingdom was once the land of the civilized dwarf kingdom 20,000 years ago, but in the twilight battle 20,000 years ago, this powerful dwarf kingdom was completely destroyed. The alchemical engineering of the dwarfs in the past is admired by the magicians of today, which shows that it has its own uniqueness. Even the magic airship we rode in actually used a lot of alchemical engineering techniques left over from the dwarf kingdom. And this cog-like thing is also in line with the aesthetics of the gnome kingdom in style and style. However, although there are magic fluctuations on this item, the appraiser of the Magic Guild has never been able to figure out the function of this thing, so the guild decided to auction this item as a strange object. This thing has gone through 20,000 years, but the magic fluctuations on it can still be clearly felt, which shows that it is definitely not an ordinary item, so the price is 50,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 5,000 gold coins, and now the auction begins. ”
The venue of the auction was silent for a while after the auctioneer's words, and everyone was speculating in their minds about the usefulness of this gear-shaped thing.
In fact, the auction of strange objects on the magic airship can only be regarded as a boring entertainment for the guests who participate. The auction price of these strange objects is often not high, so the guests who participate in the auction will not care much even if they buy a useless thing out of curiosity, and they will buy these things at most to relieve their boredom or satisfy their curiosity.
"It's quite interesting, and if it's really an item from the era of the Gnome Kingdom, it's also a great collector's item. I'll give you fifty-five thousand gold coins. A somewhat stocky-looking aristocratic man shouted.
"Yes, there really aren't many collections from the period of the Gnome Kingdom. I'll give out 60,000 gold coins. ”
The people in the auction house began to bid, but the increase was not too high for everyone, after all, it was not a valuable item for them to obtain. It's just a game.
Xu Yue looked at the object the size of an adult's palm with some strange looks, the shape of this thing is very similar to the gears used in some large machines on the earth, but the appearance of this gear is more exquisite, at least no one on the earth will carve so many magic patterns on a gear, nor will it inlay a thumb-sized red gemstone in the center of the gear.
Seeing this gear, which seemed to be like a work of art, Xu Yue's interest was also mobilized. Seeing that the price of this item has been increased to 80,000 gold coins, there is only one person left who bids. After all, the people present are the kind of people who are not bad for money. But if you spend too much for a collection you don't know what to do, there's a question of whether it's worth it.
"Ninety thousand gold coins!" Xu Yue shouted out his price when he saw that the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer.
"This Mr. Mage bid 90,000 gold coins, is there anyone who has a higher bid?" asked the auctioneer, looking around. When you see that no one is bidding anymore. He dropped the small hammer in his hand, and finally this item was photographed by Xu Yue.
After Xu Yue paid off the money directly with the gold coin memory card on the magic device on the table in front of him, the gear-like item was delivered to him. He just picked up the brick-thick gear, looked at it, and put it in the storage ring. After all, photographing this thing was just a hobby for him. And his main target is still in the auction later.
The next auction items are also some strange items that are unknown for unknown purposes. These items have been photographed by some interested guests, and some are really unpopular and genre. Auctioneers don't care about those genre items, after all, this kind of auction is just a similar entertainment project, and what you really want to auction has actually been auctioned before.
"The next thing is a mysterious drop of water that appears in a ruin in the province of Zia in the Kingdom of Coles. The auctioneer's words lifted Xu Yue's spirits, which was already a little impatient, and focused her eyes on the tray brought by the auctioneer.
On the tray was the metal droplet-shaped item that should be the accessory of the boundary gate, and at this time, the auctioneer continued after saying that this metal droplet-like thing was shown to all the guests present: "This seemingly drop-like item is not clear in terms of material or function, the only surprising thing is that this item is amazingly high in hardness, and there was once a reckless seventh-level powerhouse who attacked this item with his own fighting spirit. But there was not the slightest trace left on it. Moreover, this thing's resistance to flames is amazing, and that seventh-level powerhouse is terrifying after the high hardness of this object. I once wanted to melt it down and add other rare metals to make it into a weapon, but even the dwarven craftsmen couldn't do anything about it. So I'm afraid the origin of this thing will not be simple. Now the starting auction price of this strange object is 60,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 5,000 gold coins, and the auction begins!"
There were a lot fewer bidders this time, mainly because there was not the slightest magic fluctuation on this item, even if it was really as hard as the auctioneer said, but since it couldn't be melted, it couldn't be used as a material. Moreover, the magic civilization is prevalent on the Talumia Big 6, and even if you want to collect some collections, most of them have to be related to magical items. An item with no magical fluctuations is not very attractive to those collectors.
In the end, this item was auctioned by Xu Yue, who was determined to win, at a price of 70,000 gold coins. As soon as this thing was in his hands, Xu Yue judged that this thing was definitely one of the accessories for the boundary gate based on its size and the feeling of the material it touched by his hand. After getting this accessory, he was eager to leave the auction scene and return to his room to merge it. However, in order not to attract the attention of others, he still resisted the excitement and stayed.
Ten minutes later, the last lot was auctioned, and the auction finally ended. After chatting with Christina for a while, he found an excuse to refuse the invitation of the beautiful magician and promised to have lunch with him next time, and hurried back to his room.
After entering the room, he didn't immediately start fusing the accessories of the piercing door, but took out the four pyramid-shaped magic items he had used to unseal the scabbard. After using four magic items to recreate a magical barrier that separates the inside and outside. He just pulled out the accessory.
After slicing a tiny wound on his hand with a wind blade the size of a fingernail, he smeared the blood on the silver droplet, which turned into a ray of light and shot into his brow.
In their own spiritual sea. The Boundary Crossing Gate floating in the middle absorbed the accessory, which seemed to melt into liquid, and its own volume increased again. After Xu Yue mentally felt the information of the boundary gate, he immediately understood that he had another fixed coordinate positioning point.
But what struck him was that the new anchor on Talumia's side was not blank like the previous accessory, but rather a fixed coordinate already stored in that accessory. On the other side of the earth, the positioning point is still blank and needs to be set by himself.
Xu Yue's heart was also curious about this fixed coordinates, which itself stored in the zài accessories. According to Oward's description. The Gate was found by Ovaud in the ruins of the Kingdom of Coles, and this accessory of his was also from the ruins of the Kingdom of Coles. It is unclear if the two objects are from a single ruin, but it is certain that the accessory to the Barrier may have been found in the area of the Kingdom of Coles. This made him decide to do what Oward had told him to do. Look again in the ruins of the Rioward Gate in the Kingdom of Coles to see if there are any surprises.
However, for the time being, he was still more interested in the newly appeared spatial coordinates, and after a little hesitation, Xu Yue opened the boundary crossing door and returned to the villa on Earth first. Then he relied on a level 6 magic equipment he was carrying to apply a level 6 protective magic to himself. Then reopen the crossing door. I chose the coordinates from the previous parts that were stored in Zài, and went straight through the crossing gate.
After passing through the boundary, the scenery in front of him startled Xu Yue. Originally, he thought that he would appear in a forest or a place like the sea, after all, most of the environment on Talumia's side was forests and oceans. Even in rare desert terrain or in the desolate northern highlands, he would not be surprised.
But the view in front of him didn't match what he knew. It was as if there was not the slightest light in the sky shrouded in the deepest darkness, not even the weakest starlight. The ground is full of rock and scorched earth, and boulders and lava flow everywhere. In the distance, some high mountains spew puffs of smoke and magma from time to time, making them look like small volcanoes.
The poisonous gas in the air was accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur, which made Xu Yue almost smoke to death by the poisonous air here as soon as he appeared. Fortunately, he quickly cast a spell to purify the air on himself, and then he was relieved. Feel the astonishing heat all around. He even felt his head curl slightly. In desperation, he finally restrained the astonishing high temperature after applying a water-attribute shield to himself.
The location he crossed over was right next to a river of magma, and fiery red magma flowed slowly past him. What shocked him was that from the flowing magma, there was a very hideous fish that jumped out of the magma from time to time. Some watched in amazement as the strange fish swam in the magma, until a strange fish appeared and stood next to the lava river, jumped out of the magma, opened its huge mouth that was still ticking magma, and bit at him with its teeth that seemed to be full of sharp blades, so that he woke up from his stunned state.
The sixth-level protective magic on Xu Yue's body was just good-looking, and the sharp teeth of the strange fish that people didn't dare to execute were blocked by the shield of the protective magic. After the strange fish attacked, the strange fish gate in the magma continued to fly out of the magma river as if it had received a signal, and bit towards him.
Although he was protected by the protective magic shield on his body, these strange fish failed to cause him the slightest damage, but the strange fish that fell to the ground also began to rush to his side one by one, constantly biting his protective shield with a mouthful of sharp teeth. In the blink of an eye, the ground beside him was already full of strange fish.
At this time, he had woken up from his surprise, and after seeing the strange fish jumping all over the ground, he frowned slightly, and used the mage's hand to desperately grab a strange fish from the ground and come to him to observe it carefully, and after comparing it with some knowledge in his memory, he said with some surprise: "Huolin Demon Fish! Isn't this a specialty of the abyss?"
Speaking of this, Xu Yue suddenly remembered something, and after looking around carefully, he said to himself: "The ground flowing with magma, the air full of poison, the dark sky, the volcano with magma and black smoke everywhere. Isn't that exactly the same as the abyssal hell described in the book? So the location marked by that coordinate is the abyss?"
Xu Yue felt a little strange about his own inference, strictly speaking, Talumia and Abyss were not on the same plane, the two were just two planes that were very close. The environment of the abyss is extremely harsh, almost all of it is filled with magma and poisonous gas, and it is very difficult to find a place with water.
Because the living environment is extremely harsh, the creatures that can survive in the abyss are very fierce and strong, and here is the lowest-level magic insect that has always been a very deadly creature for ordinary people on Talumia's big 6.
Because the two planes of the Abyss and Talumia 6 are almost attached to each other, there are some passages that can connect the two sides from the junction of the planes of Talumia and the Abyss. These passages are small and small, so the limits of being able to pass guò are also the same for each part. Some places can only allow some low-level abyss demonic beasts to pass through, and sometimes the passages that appear can even allow abyssal archdemon-level creatures to pass.
Because the environment of the abyss is so harsh that even the demons that grow here don't want to live here. After the beautiful and rich environment of Talumia, the demons of hell have organized several wars of aggression against Talumia 6, and the most fierce of these wars have even swept the entire Talumia 6, and all races have been involved in the battle.
In one of the largest invasion of hell in history, known as the Battle of Twilight, it is said that even the gods of Talumia's side joined the battle. In that battle, even the gods and lord-level demons of Hell have fallen quite a lot, and some races on Talumia have even been completely erased from the history of Big 6. Some powerful races, such as the dragons, suffered heavy losses in that war, and finally had to stay away from the sight of many races, hiding in a very secret place to slowly recover the strength of their race. But 20,000 years have passed, and the dragon clan has not been able to appear in front of many races until today, which shows how severely the dragon clan has been hit.
"Abyss, this place is not very safe!" Xu Yue said with a frown as he looked at a mountain emitting smoke in the distance.
The strength of the abyssal creatures is generally very high, and in terms of the attitude towards the humans who enter here, the abyssal creatures are treated as food, and the first reaction after seeing it is whether it is delicious or not is to take a bite first, which is no wonder that those fire lin demon fish pounced after seeing him like a vicious dog seeing meat and bones.
Although he knew that the abyss was very dangerous, he did not return directly. Although the environment of the abyss is harsh and dangerous, the special environment here has also given birth to some special magic materials, which are often not available at all in Talumia 6, so they are very rare and precious. Therefore, there are some strong human beings who will also come to the abyss through the passage between the two planes to collect some magical materials unique to this place.
But for a third-level mage like Xu Yue, if he wants to pass through those plane passages, it is almost the same as looking for death, not to mention the danger of the plane passages themselves, that is, some abyssal monsters that like to stay on the edge of the passage and devour humans who have strayed into the abyss are enough to swallow a low-level mage without even slag. So being able to go straight to the abyss isn't a bad thing for him.
Just as he was about to find a few materials nearby, a green flame suddenly shot from behind a nearby rock, and then a flaming figure appeared in front of him. (To be continued......)
