Casting spells

As the turmoil of the explosion of living people in the restaurant gradually subsided, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the second auction started on time.
This time, the auctioneer didn't fool people with those messy rags, but brought out a few truly valuable items.
Especially the inconspicuous black stone placed on the podium right now turned out to be a substance that Zhang Cheng had never seen before, so he joined the ranks of quotations without hesitation.
All of a sudden, the stone soared from fifty gold dinars at the beginning to two thousand gold dinars.
Apparently, although these "taken advantage" people lack the vision to recognize the value of magic items, they are not really fools who know how to tell which of the buyers here are more knowledgeable.
Once these people bid, they will follow up immediately, and they will never give up easily until the highest limit of their ability is exceeded.
Fortunately, 60 dinars is already a sky-high price for most peripheral auction participants. In the end, only an old man in his 40s and a middle-aged woman in her [-]s still did not choose to give up. .
"Two thousand and fifty!"
"Two thousand one hundred!"
"Two thousand 150!"
"Two thousand and two!"
……
Seeing these two guys adding up bit by bit with hideous faces, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smiled, raised his arms and said, "Five thousand!"
When the auctioneer heard the price, he waved his gavel and shouted, "Five thousand! This gentleman offered five thousand gold dinars! Is there anything higher?"
The audience was completely silent!
Even the elderly and middle-aged women who bid just now chose to remain silent.
On the one hand, the five thousand gold dinars had already exceeded the limit they could bear. On the other hand, they also heard about the conflict in the restaurant at noon, and they were filled with fear of the young people in the VIP seats.
After all, the oldest lineal heirs of the Marcus family in North America say it will be bombed. Even Laverne, a member of the Supreme Council, is just a peacemaker and has not imposed any form of punishment. Even an idiot can feel to an unusual breath.
"Five thousand for the first time!"
"Five thousand for the second time!"
"Five thousand for the third time!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining the mysterious stone from the ancient Mesopotamia region!"
Seeing that no one continued to bid, the auctioneer immediately dropped the hammer and announced the ownership of this strange item.
In fact, he never dreamed that the mysterious stone, which had no idea what it could be used for, would be sold for a high price of five thousand gold dinars.
Just when Zhang Cheng was about to get up to pay the money and get the unknown substance earlier, a rather familiar figure suddenly ran in from the door, sat down beside him, and said out of breath: "There is... It works! That bottle really works! My son's lymphoma is disappearing! Thank you! Thank you so much! I just don't know what words to use to describe how I feel right now!"
"As I said, tonic potions can cure all diseases, curses, poisoning and negative magic effects."
"Yes! Yes! I shouldn't have doubted you! I apologize!"
Obviously, the guy who broke in suddenly was none other than Chester Basham who bought a bottle of tonic potion for 350 gold dinars in the morning.
Although he was sweating profusely now, and the skin on his face was red after strenuous exercise, he was in exceptionally good spirits, without any worry and decadence that he had shown before.
"Congratulations, sir, may you and your child be healthy forever." Hearing that the child was out of danger, Elizabeth hurriedly sent her blessings.
Chester Basham wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a smile: "Thank you too, kind and beautiful lady. Oh, yes, to express my gratitude, no matter what you need in the future, you can always Call me. I swear, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."
"Oh? Can you help me launch two satellites?" Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered the many good things he brought back from the Marvel world, maybe it's time to take them out to bask in the sun.
To be honest, using the advanced electronic equipment provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., and then using the smartphones and junk computers that the world has just started, is a bit frustrating.
What's more, he also has an artificial intelligence program written by Iron Man Tony Stark. Once connected to the satellite, many exploration tasks will become much easier, such as the silent Spanish treasure ship on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Launch a satellite?" Chester Basham was obviously taken aback. "As long as you report this kind of thing, you can get it done if you have money, right?"
Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not the same. My satellite is a bit special, and I don't want anyone to check it."
"So that's it... no problem. I just met some friends from the Aeronautics and Space Administration. Maybe I can be helpful on the list, but it will take a little time." Chester Basham hesitated a little, and quickly gave affirmative reply.
While it might take some networking and a lot of cash to do so, it's nothing compared to the potential payoff.
After all, no one who is rich is not afraid of death, especially those cancers that make people feel jealous, painful and desperate.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many billionaires in the world, vying to serve the parliament, just to be able to buy some magic items that can increase lifespan and fight terminal diseases at the auction at the end of the year.
But now, he was lucky enough to meet an "insider" who could provide this potion. Naturally, he had to tighten up his relationship to ensure that when he and his relatives encountered the same situation, they could get a small bottle of life-saving potion.
"It's okay, I've always been very patient. In addition, I promise that if you can do this, you can come to me to buy all kinds of magic potions with US dollars at any time if you need to in the future..."
In order to make the other party more motivated, Zhang Chengguo made an extremely attractive condition.
As the saying goes, "If you want to take it, you must first give it."
If you just want Mal to run fast without feeding him grass, then you will definitely not get any good results in the end.
He has always been generous to his collaborators, but only if the other party can meet his requirements.
"Three months! Just three months is enough!" Chester Basham clenched his fists tightly, his eyes sparkling with strange light.
A magic potion that cures all diseases can be bought for dollars?
This is simply a big gift package delivered to your door!
He can already imagine how many contacts he can expand in the world of ordinary people if he has such a resource channel.
Whether it is a Wall Street banker who hides behind the scenes to manipulate global finance, or a black-hearted politician in Washington, D.C., they will all choose to owe their favors under the threat of death...
Chapter 559 The Cruise Ship Sets Sail
After spending two days on the cruise ship, it was a pleasant time, but in the early morning of the third day, the number of guests began to increase suddenly.
All of a sudden, hundreds of privileged people from the underground world of North America gathered together, and some dignitaries from Europe, South America, Australia and other regions rushed to bid for the dragon egg after hearing the news.
But what is interesting is that with such a large-scale rally, the whole of New York, whether it is the government departments or the journalists who claim to be omnipresent, seemed to have collectively fallen into temporary blindness, even if the stretched Lincoln sedans kept shuttling on the road leading to the pier. The only road that almost blocked the traffic.
Of course, this grand occasion only lasted until around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the giant luxury cruise ship sounded its whistle and slowly left the port.
However, its destination is not the Atlantic Ocean as many people think, but after entering the deep sea, through powerful teleportation magic, the huge cruise ship is directly sent from the ice and snowy east coast of the United States to the Hawaiian sea where there is no winter at all.
Feeling the bright sunshine and chirping seabirds around her, Elizabeth stood dumbfounded on the third deck. After a full minute, she couldn't help screaming: "My God! It's unbelievable! It's simply unbelievable! This Is it the power of magic? In the blink of an eye, we can get rid of the damn weather in New York?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think the parliament can rule the underground world for hundreds of years?" Zhang Cheng nodded with a chuckle.
In fact, he didn't expect the Supreme Council to spend so much money to build a magic luxury cruise ship. Maybe this ship can not only carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation, but also go to the sky and into the sea.
