Chapter 125: Amegist (Happy Birthday to Myself, Cheeky Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Hiss!
The black curtain slowly opened to the sides, and the voices of the guests chatting became soft.
A figure in a black suit, wearing a smiling white mask, stands on the stage with a microphone in hand.
Judging from the beautiful figure that is wrapped and revealed, she is undoubtedly a woman with a perfect body.
The stage behind her was empty, except for the white display and auction tables, and the ebony mallets used for the auction.
"Already gone?" Seeing that there was no orchestra playing "Symphony of Destiny" behind the smiling girl, Jiang Shouyun felt a little more regretful in his heart.
He still likes what he just played, and it would be nice if he could know which orchestra it was, and he could cultivate his sentiments when he went back.
However, no one seems to care about these trivial matters except him.
After seeing the woman on the stage, everyone couldn't help but smile and applaud as if they were infected by the smiling mask.
“……”
Chu Zihang subconsciously applauded a few times, but after seeing Jiang Shouyun's strange eyes, he realized that he had stopped clapping, and the stiff smile on his face gradually dispersed.
"Something isn't quite right here." After a moment's hesitation, he muttered expressionlessly.
"It should be the effect of the alchemy matrix." Jiang Shouyun blinked and said with a smile, "It seems that the organizer of this auction is not a simple person. ”
That smiley face mask is supposed to resemble one of the hubs of the Alchemy Matrix, and can subtly affect the emotions of targets located within the Matrix's range.
However, they also failed to find a match for the smiley woman in their memories, and Norma did not include this person in the file they gave them.
Interestingly, there is much more to this world than the Kassel Academy.
The applause lasted for dozens of seconds, until they slapped their palms red, and the smiling woman pressed her palms slightly, and everyone finally stopped.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 'YAMAAL Directional Auction', the auction will start in five minutes, and I am the auctioneer this time, Smile."
The smiley woman put the microphone to her mouth, her soft voice with the same smile, her eyes crooked across the room.
"Hold on to your numbered plates and don't miss out on what you want, because the next thing we will bid on is unique."
With that, the smiling face leaned over slightly, turned around and walked back to the backstage, leaving only the gradually warm atmosphere in the venue.
"The level of the auctioneer's ability to mobilize the atmosphere is very good." Karima Vasa didn't notice anything unusual, but sighed softly.
Soon, a beautiful girl in a dress stepped out, holding a tray covered with a red cloth with her hands in white silk gloves, and gently placed it on the display table.
"What's going to start next is the first treasure tonight."
The smiling woman stood on the auction table, and her soft voice rang out: "'Amegist' crystal." ”
When the words fell, the red cloth was violently lifted, and the lights gathered on the stage in bundles, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
In that tray, under the reflection of the light, a palm-sized purple crystal seemed to shine with an intoxicating bright star.
Whether it's an ingenious, uncarved shape or a crystal clear, drip-free color, it's enough to prove its own perfection and value.
What attracts even more attention is the wonderful fragrance that is difficult to describe in words, gradually diffusing from the purple crystal.
It's like a fragrance that belongs to a pure girl, like the fragrance of wine brewed over the years.
The entire huge auction hall fell silent, and everyone stared at the crystal that was extremely beautiful, and their golden eyes were full of confusion and intoxication.
Whether it's a fair lady or an elegant gentleman, almost everyone indulges in the beautiful purple starlight.
His eyes almost fell to the stage, and he held his breath and didn't dare to come out, as if he was afraid of tarnishing the holy beauty of the jewel, and his face gradually turned red.
"Feeling...... Not bad? Jiang Shouyun raised his eyebrows, although he was not as addicted as others, he also liked that crystal a little.
If I'm not mistaken, Su Xiaoqiao's birthday is coming, right?
It's not eligible as a gift, but it's a good addition to it.
Jiang Shouyun was making a small calculation in his heart, and at the same time stretched out his hand to cover Chu Zihang's sight.
At this moment, in the hole of the smiley mask, the slightly curved pupils also flashed with golden light.
In an instant, the field that enveloped the entire auction hall was mobilized, and an invisible force obscured the charm of the crystal itself.
It was like being poured a basin of cold water, and everyone present instantly sobered up.
"That's ...... Alchemical items? Chu Zihang also came back to his senses, and realized the essence of that amethyst while being afraid.
"I am sure everyone here has heard of the beautiful legend of 'Amegist'."
The smiling woman broke the silence softly, stretched out her palm to the crystal and introduced, "In Greek mythology, amethyst is a victim of the god of wine, Bacchus, and the name of a beautiful maiden. ”
"Bacchus was holding a feast in the forest, and while everyone was drunk, a passer-by offended Bacchus and ran away."
"So, in order to vent his anger, the god of wine decided to use the first human who appeared before his eyes as food for his tiger."
"And the first human he saw was the beautiful maiden, Amagete."
"Just as the tiger was about to pounce, the maiden prayed to the gods, who turned her into a pure white jewel."
"Later, the god of wine regretted his actions very much, and poured the wine of the banquet on the stone, and the white gem immediately turned into a dark and transparent purple gem."
The smiling woman's voice was very infectious, and the fear in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, and the purple crystal was reflected in the golden pupils, and the possessiveness ignited again like a flame.
Legend has it that dragons love to collect precious metals and gemstones, and they even sleep on gold and treasures.
Half-breeds naturally inherited this fetish of dragons, and half of the top collectors are half-breeds.
The more spooky the items to be auctioned, the more they will be interested.
"The first auction item is an alchemy item?" Fingal's slightly dull voice came from the headphones, "I didn't expect the organizers of this auction to play so big." ”
"Amagest, the name really fits its character."
Looking at the beautiful purple crystal, Jiang Shouyun whispered thoughtfully: "The strange fragrance emitted can arouse desire, if nothing else, it should also have the effect of healing the soul and calming the heart." ”
The attraction to hybrids is so terrifying, then for ordinary people, I am afraid there is a fatal temptation, but it is not clear how strong the limit effect is.
"The starting price for the first lot, the 'Amegist' crystal, is $3 million, with each increase not less than $100,000."
Under the light, the smiling woman's gaze swept the audience calmly, with a gentle smile: "Then, please hold up your number plate for this extraordinary auction item." ”
As soon as the words fell, she picked up the ebony mallet and struck it on the auction table, and the sound gradually spread throughout the auction hall without passing through the amplification equipment.
It was like a knock on the hearts of the people, causing their hearts to tremble.
Woo woo woo today is my birthday, and my friends drank a little, I drank a little too much, I wanted to code three chapters, but it turned out to be difficult again, I'll do my best.
