Casting spells

"Of course! Please follow me." Lauren walked ahead and led the way without saying a word.

You must know that this is not an ordinary ship, but a luxury cruise ship with a length of more than 300 meters and a height of more than 60 meters. There are nearly [-] staff members alone.If you don't know the way, you may not be able to find the auction site within a few hours.

In about three to five minutes, he brought the two of them to a place that looked like a meeting room. There was a high podium in front of it, and there were densely packed comfortable seats underneath. At a glance, there were already many people sitting in the chairs. Talk quietly.

Apparently they were waiting for today's first auction to start.

Glancing at the vacant seat marked by Laverne in the front row, Lauren said directly to Zhang Cheng: "Sir, please be the owner. If it is too far behind, some items will be difficult to see clearly."

"No problem! Thank Senator Laverne for me."

After saying this, Zhang Cheng took Elizabeth's hand unceremoniously, and sat in the VIP position at the front of the auditorium.

Seeing this scene, many people in the back erupted into a burst of discussion, as if guessing what the origin of this young man and woman was, that the King of Shadows could actually receive them in person and sit in the room of Laverne, a member of the Supreme Council of North America. On the exclusive seat.

But before they could discuss any results, an old man with white hair and beard slowly walked up to the podium, raised a small gavel and hit the table vigorously, and then announced loudly: "The auction at the end of [-] is now officially Let’s start. Please remember, no matter who you are or where you come from, you must abide by the rules here. If anyone dares to make trouble or maliciously raise the price, then he is provoking the majesty of the Supreme Council and will be severely punished..."

Chapter 556 Outer Auction

"First of all, let's take a look at the first auction item today! A stand-in doll made by a voodoo witch doctor in Haiti! It can protect the owner from a fatal accident! The starting price is five gold dinars!"

"Five!"

"Six!"

"Eight!"

"Ten!"

……

As the first item for sale was placed on the podium, the audience seats below began to increase prices one after another.

It can be seen that most of these guys who compete the most are ordinary people without any supernatural power.

Some of them are billionaires who have served the parliament for a long time, and some are members of gangs such as the Mafia. In short, they all belong to the kind of peripheral personnel who are rich but don't know much about the power system of the underground world.

Seeing the rising price, Elizabeth finally couldn't help lowering her voice and asked, "Honey, don't you want to bid? It's a good thing to save your life at a critical moment."

"Help? Hehe, no, that thing can at most withstand the power of bullets and bombs, and it can't do anything about real magic and curses. If you like, I can make dozens of them in half an hour." Zhang Cheng did not hesitate. To cover up the contempt for the so-called "stand-in doll".

Maybe it can be sold at a high price in places where the popularity of magic is very low, such as the continent of Westeros in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, otherwise this thing can only deceive ordinary people who don't understand anything.

"Oh? You know magic items very well?" Sitting in the back row, a white man in his early 30s poked his head over.

"You are?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

I don't know if it's because of his personality, but he has never liked this kind of familiarity of "brothers who open their mouths and friends who shut their mouths".

The white man smiled awkwardly, and introduced himself: "My name is Chester Basham. Maybe you have never heard of my name, but the family behind me owns the six major film companies in Hollywood. And a certain amount of stock in most mainstream media, from the grandfather's generation, it has helped the parliament to control public opinion, ensuring that the underground world will never appear within the sight of ordinary people."

"So you're a billionaire?" Elizabeth's eyes widened curiously.

"That's right! But here, the dollar obviously has no purchasing power." The white man who called himself Chester Basham showed a helpless expression.

What is the most painful thing for a billionaire?

Naturally, money can't buy what you want.

Due to the production and rarity of gold dinar, even if it is purchased in unlimited quantities with US dollars, it will definitely not be much.

Looking at this frowning guy, Zhang Cheng suddenly asked, "Tell me, how many gold dinars do you have on hand, and what kind of things do you plan to buy?"

"There are only 350 pieces. I mainly plan to buy some magic items that can cure cancer or prolong life." Chester Basham did not try to hide anything, and openly stated his purpose of boarding the cruise ship.

In order to get the invitation, he paid a lot of money and used up almost all the favors.

"Are you terminally ill?"

Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down, completely unable to feel the diseased part of the opponent's body.

Chester Basham quickly waved his hand: "No, it's not me, it's my son who just turned three. He has pediatric non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma, which has spread in the advanced stage, and science can't save him. As a father, The only thing I can do now is to seek the last trace of life from supernatural forces."

"It's so pitiful! Honey, can you help this child?" The relatively emotional Elizabeth began to overflow with sympathy, staring at her boyfriend with expectant eyes.

"Okay, just this once. Give me all the gold dinars you're carrying, and then take this." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out a small bottle of potion emitting green light from his pocket and stuffed it into the other party. hand.

"Can this really cure lymphoma?" Chester Basham carefully held the medicine bottle in his hand, his whole body trembling involuntarily.

"Yes! To be precise, it can affect all diseases, curses, poisoning and negative magic effects. Tonic potion, you deserve it." Zhang Cheng forced a wave of advertisements for the potion he had prepared with a smile on his face.

"Please wait a moment! I'll go and come back!"

Chester Basham was clearly not thinking about the auction, and hurried out with the potion.

Watching the father who was eager to save his son disappear into the corridor, Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and continued to pay attention to the new products just brought out on the counter.

Unfortunately, today's first auction is obviously for fooling ordinary people who don't know how to do it. More than [-]% of the items are not very useful, and the price is inflated. Only an enchanted flintlock gun from the [-]th century is worth it. Good, but too much trouble to fill, and was eventually bought by an old Jewish man for eighty gold dinars.

After the first auction came to an end, the two quickly left the venue, went to the restaurant on the third floor to have something to eat, and then went to the casino on the second floor to try their luck.

As a first-hand luxury cruise ship, the entertainment facilities here are quite complete. There is even a miniature golf course and a large indoor swimming pool. Even if it is snowing outside, the guests inside can continue to enjoy the top service.

In addition, there were still two days before the final auction, and there were not many people, so it was a good opportunity to have fun.

But just before the young couple came to the restaurant and sat down to read the menu, another uninvited guy appeared.

"Good afternoon, wizard from the East, my name is Anthony Marcus, I wonder if you can spare some time to have lunch with me?"

"Marcus?" Zhang Cheng raised his head and glanced at the other party, an imperceptible cold light flashed in his pupils.

Because this guy with the back hair is unreasonably standing between him and Elizabeth, as if the girl is a mass of air that doesn't exist at all, and that superior attitude is also very uncomfortable.

"That's right! My family and I are the descendants of Rudolph, the second leader of the Supreme Council of North America - Death Scythe." Anthony obviously didn't realize that he had made a huge mistake, and nodded proudly .

He believed that in this land of North America, no one could refuse the invitation of himself and the Marcus family.

"Sorry, I'm not interested. Also, you're blocking my girlfriend." Zhang Cheng issued the order to evict the guest without thinking.

Anthony undoubtedly did not expect such a situation to occur, and his tone immediately became blunt: "Are you sure you don't think about it anymore?"

"three!"

A cold number popped out of Zhang Cheng's mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"two!"
