Chapter Seventy-Eight, The Ark of the Old Days
"There's no need to shoot the sycophants, you can help me move the corpses of these four elves."
"What? Do you want to bury them? Falina was curious.
"That's right, I'm going to bury them in my belly!"
The strength of these four elves is not weak, and eating them is good for Lin Yi.
"Do you devour [Fuser]?"
"The digestion time is about 10 hours, and it is estimated to gain 1100 life, 750 attack, 610 defense, and the talent [Stealth]."
"Do you want to devour [Luna]?"
"The digestion time is about 10 hours, and it is estimated to gain 900 health, 680 attack, 440 defense, and the talent [Natural Affinity]."
"Do you devour [Alice]?"
"The digestion time is about 10 hours, and it is estimated to gain 1200 life, 940 attack, 770 defense, and the talent [Archery]."
"Do you devour [Gaoen]?"
"The digestion time is about 10 hours, and it is estimated that you will gain 1600 life, 800 attack, 1120 defense, and the talent [Spearmanship]."
"Well, good returns!"
Lin Yi made his body very large, just enough to fit all four corpses in one go.
"Master, you are eating corpses here, and the people around you are scared."
Farina looked around, the crowd of onlookers looked frightened, and some children cried in fright.
Lin Yi didn't care, and said, "I'm helping them clean up the corpses, they should thank me!" ”
However, he still moved his body, and he and Falina temporarily left the town of Green Pine Ridge and returned to the deep forest outside.
Ten hours later, Lin Yi completely digested the corpse, he shrunk his body, and after following the disguise, Falina entered the town of Qingsongling again, got on the airship of the traffic station, and headed for the old ark.
The Forgotten City, the Queen's Palace.
"What! Four convoys died!? ”
The Elven Queen's face was full of shock, and the golden wine glass in her hand fell to the ground.
One of his subordinates said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, the residents of Green Pine Ridge Town have all seen that slime ate the corpses of the four of them and left the town. ”
"Damn!"
The Elven Queen's face was full of rage, and her escort consisted of twelve people, each of whom was extremely noble!
As a result, four people were killed by a slime!
Directly lost one-third! This loss is too heavy!
She would rather trade her five thousand soldiers for the lives of these four guards!
"I want Falina and that slime dead!"
The Elven Queen roared angrily: "Let all the members of the escort team go out, and kill Falina and the slimes wherever they go!" ”
"Yes! Her Majesty! ”
In an airship high in the sky.
Lin Yi quietly got out of Farina's coat pocket and looked out through the window, and in the distance, a huge figure slowly appeared between the clouds, it was a huge ship with a simple shape.
The giant ship is surrounded by a blue halo that seems to be a beautiful ribbon.
The aura emitted a clear and bright blue light that covered the entire Ark and also illuminated the clouds around the Ark.
The appearance of the giant ship is ancient, and its surface is carved with mysterious runes, which look like the scales of a snake, and the joint point of each scale, also inlaid with some unknown gemstones, exudes an enchanting luster.
"Farina, is that the Ark of the Old?"
Lin Yi asked, Falina looked over and nodded: "Yes, it is said that this ship was created by the ancient gods, and it has been floating in the air for thousands of years, no one knows what its power source is, and no one knows how long it can float." ”
"Now, the Ark is occupied by the Dieters Chamber of Commerce, they have transformed it into a free trade zone, any race and any force can trade on it, they don't care about status, as long as they are businessmen, they are welcome, even if you are a heinous criminal."
"Of course, if you dare to mess around on the ark, you will definitely be punished!"
"Once, the Church of God wanted to occupy the Old Ark, but as soon as their flying army approached the Ark, they were shot down by the magic cannon on the Ark!"
Falina had a smile on her face: "It's a shame that I wasn't there at the time and missed a good show!" ”
"Master, when you get to the ark, I'll take you to see, the largest and most complete auction in the entire continent will definitely open your eyes!"
Lin Yi is not interested in this, what is the use of good things? He can't take it with him......
In fact, he can also take it away, but he needs too many points, and he is a little reluctant to use it.
"The Old Ark has arrived!"
The pilot of the airship drank strong liquor and drunkenly shouted at the passengers.
Lin Yi didn't understand, why did the airship pilots love to drink so much? Is it to overcome the fear of flying at high altitudes?
Stepping off the airship, Lin Yi was amazed by the scene in front of him, and he felt as if he had come to the capital of art.
The architecture on the ark is very chic, a style that Lin Yi has never seen before, but it is impressive.
Illuminated by rows of yellow floating lights, the exquisite stone pillars and towers are clearly visible.
The stone pillars are carved with ancient characters and mysterious patterns, which seem to tell the life and history of ancient humans.
Walking around the buildings of the Ark, Lin Yi saw many temple-like buildings, their outer walls were covered with gold leaf, and their whole body exuded a golden glow, it seemed that this place was once popular with some kind of religious belief.
In addition to this, there are some taller buildings, which are very elaborate in construction and have a unique appearance.
The buildings feature stout, lightning rod-like iron drills, which, although very old and rusty, still stand upright, adding a lot of antiquity to the entire ark.
Lin Yi had to admit that the buildings on the ark were really magnificent and magnificent, showing the essence and superb technology of the ancient civilization in architectural art, which was admirable.
"This young lady, I have the most beautiful ornaments here, bring them and your beauty will conquer all men!"
"Look at your clothes and you're a mage? Witch? Or a wizard? It doesn't matter, come and take a look at my products, each of which can help you and increase the power of your magic! ”
"How can you travel without a few bottles of life-saving potions? I have all kinds of medicines here, life-saving, stealth, murderous...... The whole nine yards! ”
……
Surrounded by a large group of merchants, Falina desperately tries to sell her wares, much to her annoyance.
Finally getting rid of these pestering guys, Falina found a hotel to stay, and she told Lin Yi that the auction was not every day, and if they were unlucky, they might have to wait for more than ten days to participate.
Lin Yi said that it didn't matter, he had enough time anyway.
The conditions required him to survive here for 100 days, and it was only a third of the way through.
In the evening, Falina took Lin Yi to visit the night market, she said that the snacks here are very famous, and if you don't try it, it is equivalent to a trip for nothing.
Not to mention, the snacks in the night market taste very good, Lin Yi and Falina ate from one end of the food street to the other, the two of them grabbed a lot of food in their hands and kept stuffing it into their mouths.
"No, I can't eat anymore!"
Farina's little belly was already bulging, and Lin Yi was still eating, this bit of food was not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
At this time, several people were eyeing Lin Yi.
"Slime! There's a slime on the ark! ”
"Now, the major kingdoms are offering slimes everywhere, saying that they are catching one, and the bounty is 10,000!"
"Tsk! It's really a big bounty, and I'm a little moved! ”
"Hey! Don't mess around! This is the Ark, and if it is discovered by the Chamber of Commerce's law enforcement team, it will be thrown off the ship! ”
"Of course I do! Don't worry, you won't do it here, after they leave...... Hey! ”
……
Falina glanced back at the guys, who immediately shut up and pretended to continue shopping the night market.
"Leave them alone."
Lin Yi stuffed a roasted bird into his stomach and said, "I'm tired of it, I'll send them on the road!" ”
After eating, the two returned to the hotel to rest and did not say anything all night.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi climbed to the window to look at the spectacular sea of clouds outside the ark, and then he saw an airship landing on the ark, which should be a new passenger.
During the day, Falina took Lin Yi to continue to tour the ark, and saw all the places of interest, and at the same time they also learned a good news.
"There's an auction tonight!"
Farina's small face was excited: "Although the scale is average, it can also take the master to open your eyes!" ”
Lin Yi was bored: "I think, you want to open your eyes, right?" ”
"Hee-hee." Falina was exposed, she really wanted to buy a staff to give to her mother, but she didn't know if there was a suitable one.
In the evening, the auditorium where the auction is held is packed with guests from all over the world waiting to buy their favorite items from the auction.
Falina also took Lin Yi to sit down and enjoy the dance performance before the auction began.
Seven or eight meters away from them, sat an old man in a cloak, wearing a mask and holding a silver staff. His fingers tapped the staff lightly, his eyes half-narrowed, and he muttered softly, "I hope this information is true......"
At the end of the show, the auction officially kicked off, and the host took the stage to begin to introduce the first item of the day to the guests below.
"First of all, the first item is a weapon from the famous dwarven craftsman Gore, a weapon made by himself, the Sharp Blade, this weapon is made of ore from the Savage Lands, which is extremely sharp and sharpens iron like clay!"
"The starting price, five hundred gold coins!"
"I'll give you five hundred and fifty gold coins!"
"I'll give six hundred!"
"I'll sell six hundred and five!"
……
Falina and Lin Yi were not interested in this, and they both looked forward to the auction ending soon so that they could see what the next item would be.
In this way, five items were auctioned in a row, all of which were weapons, gems and other things, and Falina and Lin Yi gradually ran out of patience.
When the sixth item was put on the table, Farina, who had been a little drowsy, suddenly came to her senses, and she sat up straight, staring at the item with a pair of big eyes.
It was a very ordinary-looking ring.
"Well, this sixth item has been sold several times, but, at the request of the owner of the item, we will continue to auction it until we find its true owner."
The host also seems to be uninterested in this ring, and the introduction is very simple.
"The owner of this ring says that it hides a secret and that only those who really know it know its value."
"The starting price for this ring is ...... 10,000 gold coins! ”
The audience was in an uproar!
"Is there anything special about this ring? It was sold for 10,000 gold coins! ”
"Yes! I've never seen such an expensive item. ”
"I don't see what's so good about this ring? Anyway, I don't buy it! ”
The people below talked a lot and asked the host to introduce the special features of this ring.
The host said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, the owner of the ring didn't tell me anything special about his things, and I can't tell you, alas, everyone should go through the motions, this product is over!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
Almost at the same time, two voices rang out, one was Farina, and the other was the old man in the cloak before.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other at the same time.
Because the old man's head was covered by a cloak, Falina couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but the old man's body shook and he was very surprised.
"Farina! She even came to the old ark and came to this auction...... Is this a coincidence? ”
The old man thought to himself.
Falina didn't recognize the old man, she retracted her gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Host, can you let me take a closer look at this ring?" ”
Lin Yi lay on top of his head and heard her heart: "This ring must be my father's, I can't be mistaken!" ”
Lin Yi frowned: "You don't seem to have 10,000 gold coins on you, right?" ”
Last time, Falina used alchemy to turn stones into gold, which is okay to deceive ordinary people, but not to merchants who understand magic.
Falina bit the corner of her lip and responded to Lin Yi in her heart: "Even if it's a robbery!" I'm going to get the ring back, too! ”
The host on the stage was very surprised, he didn't expect that there were two people interested in this product today, he nodded: "Yes, please." ”
The old man in the cloak did not object, on the contrary, he was willing to let Falina verify the authenticity of the ring, after all, she was the daughter of the ring's owner and would definitely be able to recognize it.
Falina made her way through the crowd, jumped onto the stage, picked up the ring and made it closer, and finally confirmed that it was her father Evan's ring, because on the inner ring of the ring, her father's initials were still engraved.
"How's that, young lady?"
The host looked at Falina and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Nope! I'm going to have this ring! Falina looked up, her gaze determined.
The people at the scene were shocked again, they couldn't understand why Falina spent 10,000 gold coins to buy an ordinary ring.
Is this a real tyrant? Or are you really a fool?
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, the robed old man spoke: "I want this ring too!" ”
Brush!
All eyes were on the old man, and someone whispered, "Another rich fool has appeared!" ”
"No! This ring can only belong to me! Falina shouted at the old man.
The host was very happy to see that this ring finally had a chance to sell, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can compete fairly, whoever pays more money will belong to whomever it is." ”
The old man in the robe showed a large bag of gold coins very happily, and said, "Here are 10,000 gold coins, if it is not enough, I will have it." ”
The host's smile became even stronger, he looked at Farina, and asked, "This little girl, how much money are you going to pay?" ”
"I, I don't have that much money!" Falina pursed the corners of her lips and said, "But I can go and make money!" ”
The host shrugged: "It's a little late to make money now, but no one is waiting for you." ”
"But this is my father's ring, and I have to get it!"
Falina clenched her fists and said, "Just give me a day, and I'll find a way to get enough money!" ”
The robed old man snorted coldly: "Child, don't be unreasonable here, go back to your parents!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward to take the ring.
It was impossible for anyone in the audience to come up with 10,000 gold coins to buy this useless ring, so this commodity was destined to belong to him.
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed towards the ring and swallowed it in one gulp!
"Slime?"
The old man in the robe was stunned for a moment and exclaimed.
The others were also taken aback, and the host shouted, "Hurry! Catch this slime! ”
Lin Yi jumped off the stage, performed [Enhanced Snake Walking], and quickly passed through the feet of the crowd, and slipped out of the auction hall in the blink of an eye.
"Master!"
Falina was stunned, she didn't expect that Lin Yi would help her.
At this time, Lin Yi's voice came from Falina's mind: "What are you still standing stupidly for?" Run! ”
"Oh! Good! ”
Only then did Farina react, and she also took advantage of the chaos to run out of the hall.
A group of big men chased after him, and the host shouted angrily on the stage: "You must catch it!" Damn, how can there be slimes here? Who brought it in? ”
Someone shouted, "That girl brought it in, I saw it, the slime could be her pet!" ”
"I knew it!" The host gritted his teeth: "They can't run!" The Chamber of Commerce's enforcement team will catch them! ”
The robed old man stood in place, his face gloomy, he almost got the ring, but he was ruined by a slime.
"It's okay, someone will catch them for me."
The robed old man sneered in his heart: "Falina, I originally wanted to keep your life and let your father and daughter see each other for the last time, but now it seems impossible, you father and daughter will go to hell to meet, hehehe!" ”
