Chapter 86
And after deciding, with Li Qing's consent, Lake taught Helen some basic magic and fighting spirit, so that she had the ability to protect herself, Lake was very happy when he heard that he could teach Helen in person, and he finally had the opportunity to be alone with Helen.

Helen was also smart, almost a little penetrated, and at the end of the day, she basically mastered those basic magic.
During the day, Li Qing ordered someone to buy some common items and clothes for women, and put on new and luxurious clothes.
As night fell, it was time for the Collector's Auction.
The crowd got into the carriage and went straight to the destination of the Collector's Auction.
The auction will be held in the most prosperous area of Drikung City, where the headquarters of the auction house is located, and the whole auction house covers an extremely large area.
Everyone rode the carriage to the courtyard of the Juzhen Auction House, and at this time, the whole courtyard was full of all kinds of luxurious carriages, and there was an endless stream of carriages galloping into the Juzhen Auction House. It can be seen that the people who come here to participate in the auction are both rich and expensive.
Speaking of the rise of the Juzhen Auction House, it is also a matter of more than ten years, I don't know who the real boss of the Juzhen Auction House is, but in just ten years, the power of the Juzhen Auction House has extended to all corners of the Xuanling Continent, and almost all those wealthy and powerful people have sold their thin noodles.
Almost every country on the continent has Juzhen auction houses, and the items they auction are simply all-encompassing, as small as a soup spoon, as large as an entire land, almost everything that can be sold can be bought there, which shows how huge his power is, otherwise, those rare and precious items can be obtained there.
For example, the powerful Demonic Beasts were captured and sold to those summoners who needed them, and you must know how much manpower and material resources it would take to capture those Demonic Beasts alive, so no one dared to doubt the strength of this Collector's Auction House.
Li Qing and the others got off the carriage, all the way to their auction box under the leadership of the waiter, all the way, the halls and pavilions, are extremely magnificent, even the stones on the ground are valuable marble, it can be seen how rich the Juzhen auction house is.
The street lamps made of crystal magic stones illuminate everything with drunken gold, making people unconsciously indulge in the warm fragrance of nephrite.
Walking around are all wealthy and powerful people dressed in aristocratic costumes, everyone is dressed in brocade clothes, valuable and valuable, almost all the powerful and powerful people come to this auction, and those who know each other are greeting each other warmly and talking happily.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Li Qing and his party came to their Crystal Nine box, the entire box was extremely spacious and could accommodate more than 30 people, and Li Qing and the others only had Xiaomeng, Helen, Lake, Yasen, Andor, Carl, and a few members of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group.
The whole box is also magnificent, this crystal box is on the third floor of the auction, sitting in it can see the whole auction, condescending, clear and abnormal, those chairs are made of precious sequoia wood, and the soft and warm mink fur is also covered with soft and warm mink fur, sitting on it is very comfortable, and there are waiters on hand in the box, providing exquisite pastries.
The crystal box is divided into thirty, from No. 1 to No. 30, all of which can be entered by powerful wealthy nobles and powerful merchants. And the first number is for the most honorable people.
The boxes on the second and third floors surround the entire venue in a semicircle, while the auction table is in the center below, so that all buyers can clearly see what is happening on the stage.
The gold box and the silver box are on the second floor, the location of the gold box is better, and the silver box is slightly worse, and those bronze treasure cards can only sit in the hall on the first floor, but those bronze treasure cards are also quite sought-after, and they have been copied to the point of tens of thousands of gold coins on the black market outside, so it can be said that those treasure cards are equivalent to status symbols.
There is also a crystal magic auction stone installed in the crystal box, as long as you enter the price of your bid into the crystal magic stone, the auctioneer on the stage can receive the information and participate in the auction, without the need to shout for the bronze level below.
Li Qing and the others sat down in the Crystal Nine box, and everyone also sat down next to them, forming a defensive momentum, which shows how strong the vigilance of the Tianhuo mercenaries is.
But Helen refused to sit down, saying that she was still a slave and couldn't sit down with your sons, and under Li Qing's order, she sat down next to Xiaomeng, and now the relationship between Xiaomeng and Helen has risen sharply, and it has reached the point of inseparability, after all, women and women are better communicators.
With the arrival of more people, the whole auction was gradually full, Li Qing and the others were very leisurely, anyway, there was nothing to do, and they were not in a hurry, Xiaomeng was holding Tianhuo and Helen teasing Tianhuo together, but Tianhuo had a bitter face, and said secretly: How could I be so miserable, I actually fell into the clutches of Xiaomeng and Helen.
But for the sake of being good to themselves, let them abuse them, and just let go of their belly and eat.
At this time, it seemed that the entire venue had already arrived at the auction, and I saw the auctioneer walking steadily to the auction table.
The auctioneer was about forty years old, and he looked shrewd, and at first glance he knew that he was a quick-witted person, and he was unusually proficient in this auction business.
I only heard the auctioneer say loudly: "Thank you for coming to our Juzhen Auction, here I thank you here on behalf of our Juzhen Auction House." ”
After speaking, he gave a salute to the guests upstairs and downstairs.
This move immediately made everyone who participated in the auction feel good and applauded.
I saw the auctioneer wave his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I won't talk about anything else, now let's start the auction, and I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically." ”
The audience suddenly burst into warm applause, and the people who participated in the bidding wanted to start quickly, but they didn't want the auctioneer on the stage to waste time with a lot of nonsense.
It seems that this auctioneer is also experienced, and he has completely understood the psychology of these customers, and knows that these wealthy nobles who participate in the auction do not want to hear a tirade, but start the auction as soon as possible, and indeed deserve to be the chief auctioneer of Juzhen Auction House.
Li Qing and the others sat in the box, looked at the auctioneer on the round platform downstairs and said loudly: "Today, the first thing we see in the Juzhen Auction is a butterfly earring carved from the best magic stone, everyone, please take a look!"
As soon as the words fell, behind the round screen a young girl held a silver plate covered with a red cloth, and gracefully walked to the round platform and came to the auctioneer's side.
With a smile on his face, the auctioneer reached out to uncover the red silk cloth covering the silver plate, and saw a pair of delicate butterfly-shaped pink earrings placed in the silver plate.
The auctioneer gently picked up the pair of delicate butterfly earrings and held them high so that the participants upstairs and downstairs could see them clearly.
I saw that the earrings were like a beautiful butterfly with wings flapping, the whole butterfly was pink, and the beautiful wings showed fine patterns, as if they were alive, flapping their beautiful and moving wings, people could see every hair on the butterfly, and the two big eyes fluoresced and flowed, exuding a faint light.
The auctioneer poured a faint magic into it, and suddenly the two beautiful butterflies flew as if they were alive.
Everyone seemed to have a picture in front of them, two butterflies with fine patterns kept flying up and down, their wings drove the wind to make this thin and beautiful sound, fluttering beautiful wings, and the sound of fine pieces was particularly beautiful in the sun.
Under the sun, the two butterflies make no secret of their happiness, affectionate and lingering, as if there is no more worldliness in this world, no ugliness, only the warm sunshine, the clear blue sky, the seductive fragrance of flowers, everything is so beautiful.
It took a while for everyone to come back to their senses, especially the aristocratic women, whose eyes lit up, staring at the butterfly earrings pinched in the auctioneer's hands, and not taking their eyes off at all.
The auctioneer said loudly: "This butterfly earring is carved by the greatest carver of the Dajie Empire, so it can be said to be a miracle, and the material it uses is also a good magic stone, as long as a trace of magic is injected, this butterfly earring will emit fluorescence, vibrating wings, like a living butterfly, if you like this earring, the starting price is five thousand gold coins, please bid!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting: "I'll give six thousand!"
As soon as the auctioneer heard that someone was bidding, he shouted: "Someone has offered 6,000, has anyone increased the price, has anyone increased the price?"
Suddenly, someone shouted again: "I'll give seven thousand!"
The auctioneer immediately shouted: "Now someone has sold 7,000, has there been a price increase!"
Another person on the first floor shouted, "I'll give 10,000!"
As soon as the auctioneer heard that someone had paid 10,000 gold coins, he immediately shouted: "This gentleman has already paid 10,000 gold coins, and has anyone offered anything higher?"
As soon as he saw that someone had paid 10,000 gold coins, the bidder over there was no follow, and when he saw that someone was bidding with him, he immediately increased the price and said, "I'll pay 15,000!"
The auctioneer saw that a butterfly earring had been added to 10,000 gold coins, which was three times the original amount, and hurriedly said: "Now someone has already paid 15,000 gold coins, if no one bids, this butterfly earring is this gentleman." ”
The delicate woman next to the man who bid over there didn't follow, and said to the man coquettishly: "I want that earring, have you bought it?"
As soon as he saw his woman coquettish next to him, in order to please her, he immediately increased the price and said: "I will pay 20,000!"
When the auctioneer heard that someone had actually paid 20,000 yuan, he was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "This gentleman has already paid 20,000 yuan, and there is no one to increase the price." ”
After speaking, he looked at the people around him, and at this time the people around him shook their heads, this kind of gadget is not worth 20,000 gold coins, and the price will not be increased again, after all, the auction has just begun.
When the auctioneer saw that no one had raised the price, he shouted: "There is no one to raise the price, 20,000 for the first time, 20,000 for the second time, 20,000 for the third time, and the deal!" After speaking, he picked up the small wooden hammer on the table and knocked it "Bang!".
Then he said, "Now this beautiful magic crystal butterfly earring is this gentleman's. Congratulations to this gentleman for getting these beautiful earrings!"
The aristocracy who got this earring at this bid can't say it, a butterfly earring actually cost 20,000 gold coins, it's really not worth it, if it weren't for his wife by his side to force himself, he wouldn't spend such a heavy price to buy an earring, if he didn't buy it for his wife, I'm afraid he would have to go home and suffer by himself, this time it was a mistake to bring his wife to the auction, oh my God! How many times can you drink 20,000 gold coins! I really want to cry without tears, and the worst thing is to pretend to be happy.
Then, the auctioneer auctioned off several beautiful crafts and gadgets, and all of them were auctioned for good prices, which shows that those things have spent a lot of thought on Juzhen Auction House.
The auctioneer then shouted, "Now our auction house is auctioning the magic war knife forged by the dwarven casting master, please take a look!"
After speaking, a tough man came out of the back of the stage, holding a black scabbard knife in his hand, and knew that it was not ordinary at a glance, and the handle was carved with exquisite lines, making the whole war knife simple and elegant, but revealing a chill.
The auctioneer pointed to the cold war knife and said: "This war knife is called a hundred-bladed war knife, it is forged by the dwarf master of the dwarf clan, everyone also knows that the manufacturing of armor and weapons, the foundry masters of the dwarf clan are the best, they make weapons not only sharp and abnormal, but also blessed with magic, it can be said that every weapon is a priceless treasure, and this war knife is even more boutique." ”
Then he said, "Now ask our swordmen to test the power of this hundred-bladed sword for themselves. ”
I saw a red stone brought up from the waiter behind the stage, exuding heat, and the auctioneer pointed to this stone and said: "This is the fire crystal, the hardness is only slightly worse than the black crystal, and the ordinary sword can't move it at all, now please see if the hundred-edged knife can split this fire crystal." ”
The swordsman looked solemn, and slowly pulled out the hundred-bladed war knife in the scabbard, the war knife suddenly revealed a sharp blade, flashing with cold light, and there was a blood groove on the blade, which seemed to show its powerful lethality, and the knife light shot into the eyes of everyone, almost making everyone unable to open their eyes.
I only heard the knife hand break and slash at the red fire crystal, a wonderful arc was crossed in the air, and a crisp sound was made, and the fire crystal was immediately split into two.
The jade is silent, the iron is sharpened without a blade, and it is really a good weapon.
When everyone looked at it, it was indeed worthy of being a magic weapon forged by dwarves, and even a hard fire crystal could be easily split in two, and it was really a good weapon. Moreover, the knife hand did not use the fighting qi yet, and poured the fighting qi into the hundred-bladed war knife, if the fighting qi was injected, I am afraid that the power of this sharp hundred-bladed war knife was far more than these small powers.
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, the auctioneer knew that this weapon would definitely sell for a good price, so he said loudly: "Now the price starts at 100,000 gold coins!"
You must know that this magic weapon is the weapon that those fighters dream of, if you use this weapon, you can make your strength several times higher than the use of ordinary weapons, and because those fighters don't know how to use magic, then those magic weapons have magical power, and the combination of magic and fighting spirit can exert a more powerful power than usual.
Therefore, this hundred-bladed war knife will definitely cause those wealthy families to compete for it, of course, in Li Qing's eyes, such a level of war knife is simply not as good as garbage, and the weapons refined by his alchemy technique are probably comparable to the artifacts here.
As soon as the auctioneer said the hundred-bladed battle knife, it immediately caused everyone to rush to buy it.
I only heard a voice from the second floor: "I'll give 120,000!"
The auctioneer immediately said: "This gentleman has come out of 120,000, a hundred-bladed war knife, an infinitely powerful war knife, if you have this war knife, your strength will definitely reach a higher and stronger realm, is there a price increase." ”
At this time, there was another sound of bidding, saying: "I will pay 200,000." "It has increased by 80,000 all of a sudden, and it seems that this bidder is determined to win this hundred-bladed sword.
All of a sudden, everyone bid one after another, and the hundred-bladed war knife was fiercely bid for 600,000 gold coins, you must know that 600,000 gold coins is not a small amount.
After a fierce bidding, there were only two buyers left who were bidding for the Hundred Blade Battle Sword, one was an A-level mercenary group, and the other seemed to be someone from the Sword Saint Gate.
I only heard the A-level mercenary group bid: "I'll pay 650,000!"
The auctioneer shouted: "Now this gentleman has come out of 650,000, this gentleman really has a vision, it seems that a famous knife is a hero, and this hundred blades belong to this gentleman." ”
As soon as the words fell, the people from the Sword Saint Sect suddenly said proudly: "Our Sword Saint Sect has seven hundred and fifty thousand. ”
The auctioneer was also stunned, and he didn't expect that this Hundred Bladed War Sword had actually reached 750,000 gold coins, and immediately shouted: "Okay, now the Hundred Blade Battle Sword Saint Gate has bid 750,000, is there any higher, and is there any higher?"
Hearing that the Sword Saint Gate actually bid for 750,000 gold coins, the face of the person from the A-level mercenary group suddenly changed, originally they came to buy this hundred-bladed battle knife, but they didn't expect to kill halfway to bite the gold.
