Leo followed the sound and immediately saw that the three young men were all disappointed, it turned out that at the most critical moment, the dancer left the stage, indicating that the auction was about to begin.

On the screen, the panorama of the auction hall is faithfully transmitted. The golden ceiling echoes the luxury of the estate, and there are countless bright crystals on it, which emit a soft glow that illuminates the entire auction room.

In the center of the hall are rows of seats upholstered in soft fur, which are very comfortable to look at. At this moment, each seat was already full of bidders, talking to each other, making the auction room a little noisy. Most of them were well-dressed, apparently of aristocratic origin, otherwise they would not have been able to enter the manor at all.

However, Leo knew that the real nobles would not sit below, but would have their own VIP boxes like themselves. He was very interested in the auction, but he didn't want to delay the action, so he turned his head and found Parkinson looking at the screen very intently.

"Mr. Parkinson, is there anything you'd like to bid on today?" asked Leo.

Parkinson could see what Leo meant, and replied with a smile, "Yes, there is indeed one thing that I crave." Don't worry, Kakarot, our business won't start until the auction is over, and what you have to do is very simple, just don't talk and always follow me. So, I think let's take a look at the auction, and I've heard that there are a lot of good things this time. ”

Since the other party had already said so, of course Leo would not have any objections, so he nodded and looked at the screen. In this operation, the Holly family equipped each of them with some magical equipment, and at the same time deposited a full five thousand gold coins in the auction. Sanders' father specifically instructed Leo not to hesitate if there was something suitable, just bid directly.

At the same time, Leo also understands that this is a disguised payment. So of course he will not refuse.

A short time later, the auction began, and a handsome young man walked up to the auction table, shook the silver bell in his hand, and the entire auction hall suddenly fell silent.

"I think a lot of people already know me, haha, but there are a lot of new friends today, so let me introduce myself again. The man smiled brightly, his voice clear and high-pitched, but his accent gave it a strange feeling.

Immediately, someone in the room complained: "Pierre. You better save it, we just want to buy things, we don't want to listen to your bragging. ”

"It's the rule. Pierre did not care at all, and continued to himself: "Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I am the host of this auction, Pierre Vlado Cicero, from the southern kingdom of France, and now I am the senior auctioneer and senior appraiser of 'Deep'. Level 4 Mage, Intermediate Alchemist, and Senior Magi, it is an honor to preside over this mortal auction for you. ”

The string of titles is dazzling. But the regular customers present had already heard it countless times, so one of them immediately complained: "Alright, alright, we already knew." Hurry up and get started. ”

In the box, Leo was surprised again. He hadn't heard of this 'deep' organization, but the host named Pierre would never be more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old. already has a very good strength, and the high-level magician directly shows his talent. Such a person would have a good future in any magic organization, but he was willing to stay here as an auctioneer, and the strength of the 'Deep' organization can be imagined.

Pierre still kept smiling and nodded, "Okay, after introducing yourself, then the auction begins, if you have any questions during the auction, please raise your hand and don't disrupt the auction order." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a moon elf woman with beautiful makeup and a seductive figure walked out of the backstage of the auction hall, holding a tray covered with silk cloth in her hand.

Pierre shook the silver bell and said in his distinctive voice and accent, "The first auction item, the fine material recently acquired by our organization, the Shadow Blood Vine!"

Before everyone could react, Pierre had lifted the silk cloth, revealing a dark red vine coiled on a tray.

In the hall, someone exclaimed, "It's really a shadow blood vine, it's good luck, in a desolate place like the Shadow Realm, you can actually encounter such a good thing." ”

"Ahem, it's also a strong family, this thing is bloody and seals the throat, if we meet, not only can't we pick it, maybe even lose our lives." ”

Pierre listened to the following discussion, and deliberately paused, and waited until everyone looked at him, and then said in a loud voice: "Let me introduce this auction item." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me how much it is, Lao Tzu's money bag is already hungry and thirsty!" a bald man cried out eagerly.

Another thin man next to him nodded frequently: "That's it, Pierre, you guy is good at everything, but there is too much nonsense." ”

Pierre laughed and said, "Some friends know what blood vines are, but some friends probably don't know it very well, according to the rules, I have to introduce it." ”

"Rules, rules, sooner or later, you will be annoyed to death by these rules!" Everyone was helpless, so they had to listen to him continue to chatter.

"The Shadow Blood Vine, as its name suggests, is a rare vine that grows in the Shadow Realm, which can absorb the blood of all kinds of creatures, especially the blood of shadow creatures, and is the best nourishment for it. However, it is precisely because of this property of the Shadow Blood Vine that it absorbs the unique life force of the shadow creatures, making it itself contain a rich special life energy, which is the raw material for many precious potions. ”

"This shadow blood vine, which has grown for at least three centuries, I don't know how many shadow creatures it has devoured, with a total length of three hundred and twenty-one centimeters, has been sealed with magic, and it is well preserved, and it is rare that its roots have also been taken out intact!"

As soon as he heard the word rhizome, the audience suddenly became uproar again.

Most of the people who participate in the auction have a certain amount of strength, otherwise no matter how rich they are, they will not understand the quality of things. The Shadow Blood Vine itself can make a potion called "Blood Condensation", which is very significant for the improvement of fighters, especially warriors, and if you use rhizomes to make zuò, the effect will be much higher. However, because the Shadow Blood Vine has extremely strong attack power, ordinary adventurers need to go through hard battles to obtain it, let alone obtain roots, and even complete branches are difficult to obtain, so the value of rhizomes is even more valuable.

The female warrior Niri looked at the blood vine and couldn't help but swallow and spit. Leo smiled slightly, wondering if he should buy the blood vine so that the female warrior could work harder in the future.

In the hall, Pierre looked at the reaction below, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he waited for a moment before he said: "This shadow blood vine, after our appraisal, the starting price is three hundred gold coins." ”

When Leo heard the price, he couldn't help but smile wryly. The starting auction is 300 gold coins, and the base of the fighter itself is large, as long as there is a little bit of bull, it will be turned over several times, and the final price may be beyond his bearing. The Hawley family has five thousand gold coins stored here, and they have some on themselves, which together may be less than eight thousand, which is not enough.

And while he was thinking nonsense, someone in the room had already begun to bid.

"I'll give three hundred and five!" As soon as the strong man who spoke before raised his hand, he was drowned in the sea of bids.

"Three hundred and one!"

"Three hundred and two!"

"Three hundred and three!"

Bids have come and gone, but in a few moments, the price has risen to a height that many people cannot understand.

"Seven hundred and seven!"

"Eight hundred!"

"Grandma's, I'll give a thousand !!"

A thousand gold coins was enough to buy a good magic item, and there was a sudden silence in the field, and everyone looked at the bidder.

I saw that the strong man's face was red, and his chest was rising and falling violently, obviously he couldn't bear this price.

Pierre waited for a moment, saw that no one was bidding, shook the bell, and said, "May I ask who else wants to bid? If I count to three and no one has bid, the blood vine will belong to this friend." ”

"Three. ”

"II. ”

At this time, the crystal screen outside a box on the third floor suddenly lit up, and a line of numbers appeared: "One thousand and five." ”

The man, who was already on the verge of getting the blood vine earlier, suddenly looked towards the third floor, almost going crazy with anger. Fortunately, he still retains a trace of reason, knowing that the person who can be in the box on the third floor is not something he can afford to provoke at all.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, the man squeezed a voice out of his throat: "One thousand one!"

A few seconds later, the crystal screen lit up again: "One thousand one white zero five." ”

Subsequently, the auction became a game of men and a third-floor box, and the price went all the way up.

A few minutes later, the price came to one thousand and a half, and the man gasped and his face was full of hideousness. He really needed the Shadow Blood Vine very much, but fifteen hundred gold coins were almost his income for two years, and he had no choice but to give up.

In the end, the host dropped the hammer, and this rare shadow blood vine was sold for 1,500 gold coins.

Pierre didn't expect that the first item would fetch this price, and it seems that with the name of the master and the finale, today's auction may hit a new high, and the profit he will receive may be much higher than expected.

............

In the box, Niri said in a panic, "This ...... This...... It's too precious for me to ask for it!"

Leo smiled briskly: "It's nothing, you took the initiative to help us complete the task, I can't say nothing at all." ”

"But...... Even if it's a double S-level mission, it's impossible to have so much money. Niri shook her head desperately.

Sanders could guess Leo's thoughts, and then persuaded him: "Niri, you're welcome, this money is nothing to us mages, but the Shadow Blood Vine is very important to you, and if you increase your strength, our mission will be smoother." (To be continued......)
