Ronin from Douluo

Zeng Yi and Xue Qinghe walked into the auction venue led by the fiery reception girl.

The auction center feels more like a large auditorium, and its layout is similar to the main soul fighting center of the Great Spirit Arena. In the center is a circular stage, surrounded by radial rings of seats.

It is divided into five parts.The three rows of seats closest to the podium are red, radiating outwards, followed by black, purple, yellow and white.Obviously set according to different levels of bidders.

Xue Qinghe told Zeng Yi about the situation inside. The innermost red seat is entered through a special passage and is protected by special security personnel.There is the so-called million-level VIP area, and people must be of status to qualify for the red VIP status.

The black seats in a circle outside are the ordinary million-level VIP area, as long as you have money, you can enter, which belongs to the second-level black VIP.

Further outwards, the purple ones are 50-level purple VIPs, the yellow ones are [-]-level ordinary VIPs, and the outermost white seat is also the largest seat.

And Xue Qinghe, as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, his status is self-evident.The girl led Xue Qinghe and Zeng Yi to the VIP aisle covered with a red carpet, and entered the highest-level auction seat.

The seat of this red VIP seat is a luxurious sofa with a length of five meters. There is also a mahogany coffee table in front of it, on which there are fruit platters, various pastries, drinks, etc.

After Zeng Yi and Xue Qinghe sat down, a middle-aged man in a black dress, who seemed to be from the auction house, brought two tall and beautiful women to their seats.

When Xue Qinghe saw this person coming, the look in his eyes turned cold, and he said lightly, "Take them back, they don't need it here."

Embarrassment appeared on the man's face, and he retreated respectfully with the two women.

Zeng Yi observed the red VIPs around them. They were surrounded by a beautiful and slim woman. This made Zeng Yi understand that the auction house even gave out girls to play with.

Of course, only VIPs in the red zone have this kind of treatment.

"Why do you think it's a pity?" Seeing Zeng Yi looking at those women, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but said.

"Indeed, the lives of these nobles are really extravagant." Zeng Yi looked away and lay on the sofa, not paying attention to the surrounding situation at all. He put his feet on the table and put his hands on his head.

Seeing Zeng Yi's appearance, Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly, poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly, "These women belong to the auction house, including their lives. They were all bought by the auction house at a very young age. The commoner girls here are trained from an early age. They are not only the service personnel here, but also part of the auction. If someone is willing to pay, they can be bought and sold."

Hearing this sentence, Zeng Yi stood up in shock, looked at Xue Qinghe in surprise, and said, "If you treat people as objects, isn't that the same as being a slave? I remember that the law of the empire prohibits the sale of slaves. You are an empire." Prince, can you allow such a thing to happen in front of your own house?"

Xue Qinghe sighed helplessly, and said, "It is true that the empire prohibits slave trading, but these things still happen behind the scenes. As long as there are benefits, it is difficult to stop this kind of behavior. Moreover, the forces behind this auction house are intricate, The interests of many people are involved, not to mention me as a crown prince, even the emperor, it is difficult to intervene."

"The so-called imperial law is just a means to restrain the common people. It has no effect on the aristocratic class. They can do whatever they want in the law. In the final analysis, the law is just the rules of the game they made."

Zeng Yi remained silent, he now knew how powerless Xue Qinghe felt about his country.

At this time, there were not many bidders in the auction center, and there were only a few more than 100 bidders.A soul tool similar to a belt is being auctioned on the auction platform, and the price has already increased to [-] gold soul coins.

Zeng Yi was not interested in the items auctioned above, and chatted leisurely with Xue Qinghe while drinking tea.

After the transaction of the soul tool on the stage was completed, the auction house officials took out another auction item.

This time, Zeng Yi was interested in this auction item.

It was a rusty bronze sword, the size of an adult's finger, with a thin thread strung on the hilt, which looked like a pendant.

Zeng Yi could smell an ancient aura from the rust spots attached to the bronze sword.

For some reason, Zeng Yi had an idea in his mind that he must get it.

This is very important to myself.

Xue Qinghe saw Zeng Yi staring straight at the bronze sword pendant on the auction stage, and couldn't help but said, "You want to take this one, don't you see the mystery of it?"

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that I must get it." Zeng Yi said to Xue Qinghe, staring intently at the bronze sword hanging on the stage.

Xue Qinghe was a little surprised, it was the first time she saw Zeng Yi showing such a serious expression, she couldn't help but glanced at the bronze sword pendant on the stage, and said with a smile, "Since you need this, I'll buy it for you .”

The host on the auction stage began to introduce this item to the bidders, "Next, let's bid on this bronze sword ornament. First, let me tell you about the function of this bronze sword ornament. Our auction house I don't know either."

The host's words made the bidders feel speechless. They don't even know what the effect of the thing is. Isn't it a scam that you dare to put this thing up for auction?

Seeing the bidders in the audience whispering, the host couldn't help but smile mysteriously, this is what he wanted, and then continued, "However, from the rust spots on the bronze sword pendant, you can see that this The age of this item is very long. And let me tell you one thing, the material of this copper sword is extremely hard. We have tried it in the auction house. Even the full attack of a soul saint powerhouse cannot damage this copper sword at all, even Even the rust spots on it cannot be removed, which shows the magic of this copper sword."

"Moreover, there are mysterious symbols engraved on the copper sword, like a kind of writing, but we don't know what kind of writing it is, but thinking about it carefully, it should be recording some important information. Our auction house feels that, This copper sword may be a key, a key to unlock some kind of ruin."

"Think about it, everyone, if you can take it back, decipher the information on it, find a ruin, and get the treasure inside, what kind of wealth would that be?" Speaking of this, the host's tone became excited , I can't help but admire my ability to make up stories.

After listening to the host's words, the bidders who were not interested in the bronze sword pendant became interested one after another.

Although what the host said about the treasure keys of the ancient relics was a bit bragging, the Douluo Continent has existed for an unknown number of years. There are indeed countless ancient relics hidden in this continent, and some people have discovered them.What if this is really the key to a relic? As long as the symbolic information on it is deciphered, the treasure inside is self-evident.

Even if it wasn't, just the material of the copper sword, which can withstand the attack of the soul sage, is enough to give them the idea of ​​​​collecting it.

The host said, "Of course, this is also a possibility. The low price of this bronze sword pendant is [-] gold soul coins, and each increase must not be less than [-] gold soul coins. Now, everyone can bid."

"I will offer [-] gold soul coins"

"Sixty thousand gold soul coins"

"Sixty-three thousand gold soul coins"

The host smiled and watched the bidders below bid each other, and his heart was already happy.Among them, the price of this copper sword pendant is not worth so much money at all.He made up all the clues about the ancient ruins.

A successful bidder is one who can raise the value of an item to an unprecedented height.

Of course, the treasure appraiser at their auction also couldn't see what the bronze sword was, and couldn't measure its value, so the auction house took it out for auction.

As for the clues of the ancient ruins, there is indeed a slight possibility.But this small possibility is enough for these bidders to gamble.

Moreover, he wasn't joking about the effect of resisting the soul sage's full blow.

"Isn't it just a rusty pendant? It's so expensive to buy." In the ordinary area, Xiao Wu couldn't help complaining when she saw these bidders bidding wildly.

Tang San beside Xiao Wu said, "Xiao Wu, when you look at things, you can't just judge by the surface, that will only make you stupid."

To be honest, if it wasn't for the lack of money in hand, Tang San also wanted to buy this copper sword pendant and study it carefully.

"I didn't expect you, little brother, to say such philosophical words at such a young age." Behind Tang San's seat was a middle-aged man with a refined and gentle temperament. This man was Ning Fengzhi. Looking at Tang San, his eyes There was a bit of admiration in the middle.

Tang San shook his head, and said, "I didn't say this sentence, it was taught to me by a friend of mine."

"Oh, it turns out there is someone else. It seems that your friend is also an interesting person." Ning Fengzhi smiled lightly, and then looked at the stage.

"Sir, you are also interested in this copper sword pendant" Tang San couldn't help asking.

Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "Indeed, if you have some ideas, even if you don't have any clues about the ruins, it's good to take them back for collection."

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has the ability to appraise treasures, and he, Ning Fengzhi, is the most senior treasure appraiser on this continent. For this mysterious bronze sword, he naturally wants to appraise it.

"One Hundred Thousand Golden Soul Coins"

Ning Fengzhi immediately bid for the auction.

"12 Golden Soul Coins No. 67 White VIP bids 12 Golden Soul Coins 12 Golden Soul Coins once, is there anyone else bidding?" The host said excitedly, the copper sword pendant can be bought at this price, which is already beyond him expected.

The next moment, the host exclaimed again, "No. 15 red VIP bid 15 gold soul coins [-] gold soul coins, is there anyone else to bid?"

Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised to see someone bidding against him. In his opinion, 12 yuan was already the limit price for an item whose details were not known. He didn't expect that there would be someone bidding against him.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, didn't care, and continued to increase the price.

"The white VIP No. 67 bid again, 20 gold soul coins"

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was stunned. He didn't expect someone to fight with him. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This was a gift he bought for Zeng Yi. How could he give it up to others?

Papapa

Xue Qinghe didn't even think about it, and directly shot continuously on the price increase button.

"Ah, 50 red VIP No. 50 bid [-] gold soul coins"

The host excitedly called out Xue Qinghe's bid.
