The monsoon boat group was as calm as ever.

But in the midst of the forces of the upper echelons that inhabit this place, a piece of news blew like a whirlwind.

The inconspicuous but mysterious Venus auction house will hold a themed auction in the near future, and the theme this time is - ice.

Whether it is rare materials and potions such as rare ice crystals, ice lotus, ice mist grass, ice heart wine, or ice magic skill inheritances such as ice storm, ice combo gun, ice path, ice comprehension, etc., or large-scale alchemy products such as ice mine site deed, icebreaker airship design drawings, etc., will be launched in this auction.

And the seat of the town is naturally the ice spirit bead from the cloud beast's body provided by Midi. On the list of auction items, this is also the only auction item that is not directly indicated, and the Venus Auction House has sold a pass, only saying that there will be an ice arcana.

In this way, it can not only attract buyers with a large number of high-end auction items, but also arouse their appetite, so to speak, to make enough atmosphere.

Of course, there is a lot of risk in an auction like this, which is purely based on the theme of a series.

Not to mention whether the auction house itself has enough strength to be able to make up so many auction items with the same theme, even if it does, it may be because the quality is not good enough, or the target audience is too narrow, resulting in a large number of unsuccessful auctions, and finally become a failed auction.

Conversely, if the subject matter is attractive enough and the lot is of high enough grade, the highly overlapping demand of the buyers and the complementary effect between the same auction items can have an explosive effect, raising the asking price to an unbelievable number.

For example, if a person buys an ice lotus, he naturally wants to buy a method for refining the ice lotus, and then, he also wants to obtain the inheritance of raising the level with the help of the ice lotus elixir, and a chain will be formed between these three auction items, so that the asking price will continue to increase.

And if there are many people who want to compete for the Ice Lotus, then there is no doubt that the asking price will be doubled again, and it will be doubled when each of the above three auction items appears.

That's where the theme auction comes in.

Now, Venus Auction House does not hesitate to risk the failure of no one cares, and also wants to hold an auction with the theme of "ice", obviously it is a bloody effort to call the ice spirit bead of Midi a sky-high price, and by the way, it will fry the gimmick of "the first ice spirit bead in the sky and the sea of clouds in thousands of years".

With this gesture here, Midi no longer cares about the starting price, the auctioneer chosen, the content of Linde's appraisal and other details, anyway, the last thing will definitely be able to sell for a high price that greatly exceeds the market price of the previous life, and this is enough.

After all, Midi didn't come here to make money, let alone do business, but to find clues to the ruins of ancient battlefields.

Only by finding the ancient battlefield can it be possible to find the wreckage of the Heavenly Realm or Demon Realm warship.

Imitation is possible only if the wreckage is fully intact.

And only if the imitation is successful, can the big storm zone be broken through.

In this way, the links are connected to each other, until the last of the day, and the goal of Midi can be achieved—to constantly improve oneself in this cold world of the jungle, so as to gain the strength to protect oneself and the people one loves.

Of course, the more links there are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the longer the whole process will be, but to Midi's helplessness, even as a reborn, he still can't jump out of this rugged and tortuous path of exploration.

"So far, there is still nothing. After scanning the information that was several centimeters high, Victoria sighed.

There are many different sources of information on the Monsoon Fleet, but that doesn't mean you have to buy any information you want.

For example, the ruins of ancient battlefields, places like this sound quite mysterious, but I'm sorry, after thousands of years, they have long been looted by the inhabitants of the sky and the sea of clouds, where is it the turn of the human adventurers who have just run to the sky to explore?

If there are really ruins, they can only be those located in the secret sea, but since they are in the secret sea, how can they easily obtain information related to them?

Not only that, but what was even more frustrating was that Victoria couldn't just say "I want ancient ships".

Crossing the Great Storm Region is a shocking goal, and it is absolutely impossible to leak it, and therefore, such a thing as imitating the Celestial Realm Battleship naturally cannot be said directly, and even proposing a complete Celestial Realm Battleship or Demon Realm Battleship will inevitably attract too much attention.

In this case, Victoria can only show her will under various pretexts and in an extremely vague way.

In this way, even if the information obtained is valuable, it may be the information that the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth.

The desire to conceal and the secret relics that are difficult to find are enough to bring the pace of progress to a standstill.

It's just that just when Victoria was secretly hurting herself, Midi on the side suddenly said this: "Why don't you go to the auction of Venus and have a look?"

"Auction?" Victoria was stunned.

"Yes, the auction. Midi nodded, "Not as a seller, but as a buyer." ”

With that, Midi flipped the page of the list of auctions she had just flipped through and spread it out in front of Victoria.

On this page, there is a list of techniques related to "ice" - ice-breaking and airship construction techniques.

"In the past few days, I have carefully looked at the sea of clouds in the sky, especially the ice-breaking techniques used by the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, most of which use magic to heat steam or other substances, and then melt the ice with heat, etc., and then open a route, this kind of thinking is okay in the warm climate of the sea of clouds, but it has no meaning in the ice cloud circle. However, the icebreaker technique of this auction is completely different. Midi patiently explained.

"This is a technique that relies on the strength of the airship itself to crash through the ice!" Victoria's gaze quickly swept over the list, ignoring the fanciful propaganda above, and understood the core of this technique in just a few seconds, "That's right, with this technique, the certainty of breaking through the ice cloud circle is one point greater!"

"No, I'm not much interested in the art itself......" Midi smiled and shook her head.

"That?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Victoria was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, her turquoise eyes suddenly lit up, and then the eldest lady slapped her thigh rarely, and suddenly realized, "You mean clues?"

"That's right, it's the clue. Midi finally nodded.

The ice-breaking technique launched at this themed auction is very different from the existing technique in the sky and sea of clouds, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the imagination of a certain alchemy master, but it is more likely that this technique comes from an ancient warship. Although Midi was not interested in the half-technique itself, this did not prevent him from following the vine to find the seller from the technique, and then further understand the source of the technique.

Perhaps, a secret ancient battlefield that no one knows about will be able to get their hands on it, and maybe even this seller will have an intact ancient warship in his hands.

As for the price, it is nothing more than a matter of more money and less money, and the last thing Midi lacks now is money, because he basically has nothing to buy.

In that case, what is there to hesitate about?

As for the Venus auction house, it is natural to comply with the requests made by Midi and Victoria. Not only did Midi be allowed to directly advance an uncapped amount of funds for the auction, but a private room was specially arranged for two people to use.

Who told Victoria to say that there was more than one ice bead in her hand?

With such a monopoly and the ability to provide extraordinary treasures, it is only natural that Venus Auction House will provide meticulous service and the highest loyalty.

There is only one thing that the Venus Auction House did not promise Midi, and that is to directly reveal the information of the seller of the ice-breaking technique.

Integrity is the foundation of an auction house, not measured by monetary profits, as long as there is integrity, then even if it goes through a low tide, it can still turn over in the end.

Of course, for mercenary businessmen, honesty is not something that cannot be sold. But obviously, this is not something that can be bought with a single Ice Spirit Bead.

Perhaps, in addition to money, it is necessary to add enough force deterrence to pry open the mouth of the Venus auction house.

And Midi and Victoria together are definitely not up to this level.

Fortunately, Midi had already expected this, so he didn't ask any further, anyway, as long as he could get this technique in his hands, he would naturally be able to take a certain amount of initiative, and maybe, the other party would inquire about Midi's situation in turn, in order to sell more techniques at hand.

Two days later, the long-awaited "ice" themed auction of the monsoon boat group was finally officially held.

The auction was not held at the headquarters of the Golden Star Auction House in Fountain Square, but on a smaller floating island on the outside of the Monsoon Boat Cluster.

And the focus of the auction is by no means on trends, luxury, and the like—the people who come are either rich or expensive, all of them are arrogant, their eyes are above the top, and they have never seen anything, no matter how luxurious they are, I am afraid that they will not be interested.

Venus Auction House emphasizes "secrecy" and "safety".

The entire auction hall is located inside the floating island, which is difficult to pinpoint, and at the same time, there are several different exits to enter. Each group of VIPs will enter directly into their own box from their own special passage, and during the whole process, no one will know the way, and no one will come into contact with anyone other than the waiter of the Venus Auction House.

Not only that, but sellers and buyers are all anonymous. During the whole auction process, only the lot itself is mentioned, omitting all sources related to the seller, the authenticity is proved by the appraiser, and the buyer can sit in the box and bid without showing up.

And in the auction room, there are more than two squads of more than twenty-four awakened professionals, which provides sufficient security. Not only that, every time Venus holds an auction, the monsoon boat group will also directly strengthen the security measures on the floating islands where they are located, and send a large number of patrols to deter Xiaoxiao.

This is also the reason why it is rumored that the owner behind the Venus Auction House is the Monsoon Boat Group.

Hiding behind heavy protection and black curtains, spending a lot of money, and getting the treasures you want, there is nothing more to the appetite of the nobles.

In such an atmosphere, the auction with the theme of "ice" and the finale of "Ice Beads" quietly kicked off.
