Star Chef

Chapter 38

"You are here at last." Ai Qi was waiting at home, he was relieved when he saw them coming, and handed them the cloak he was holding in his hand, "We will wear this and go in through other doors later, but you can't Come with us." Ai Qi pointed to Jessia and the others.

"We'll wait at the gate of the auction," Jessia said.

Ai Qi heard the words: "There will be guards at the entrance of the auction, I'm afraid you can't get close." Jessia frowned, and Qian Ze said: "You are waiting for us at the temporary residence."

Even though Jessia was reluctant, she could only reply: "Yes."

Putting on the cloak given to him by Ai Qi and walking on the street, Xia Xun and the others soon found that there were people dressed like them everywhere on the road.

"These people say that they are the ones who took pictures, which can be regarded as a cover." Seeing their curiosity, Ai Qi explained in a low voice, "In order to prevent someone from stealing the treasure, the auction has set a specific time for everyone to gather together. Pick up the lot or deliver it to your door, but in fact everyone is delivering it to your door, but they don’t know each other and don’t know it, which is also to cover up the existence of an underground auction.”

After all, those who can participate in the auction are all important people. In order to prevent their identities from being leaked, Roland puts a lot of effort into safety every year. Naturally, a simple cloak cannot guarantee the safety of guests. In order to avoid arousing excessive curiosity among the public, Not only did he arrange many manned patrols, but he also forcibly sealed off the area.

The reason for the outside world is that there are dangerous species in the auction items. In order to avoid riots, a no-entry area is temporarily designated. strangeness.

The underground auction in Roko City was originally famous because of the light moss produced here, so compared to the Starlight Auction controlled by the city lord Roland on the surface, the Roko tribe has a greater say in the underground auction, which is why The reason why the clan elders have the right to let Xia Xun participate.However, Roland's prestige has gradually deepened in the past few years, and he has a faint posture over the Roco tribe. Although the clan elders are worried, they have no way to stop it. The only thing they rely on is the light moss that only the Roco tribe can collect.

After reaching an inconspicuous secret door before the auction, Ai Qi handed over an invitation card with the auction logo printed on the cover, and the guard wearing a mask glanced at it and let the three of them in.Not long after they entered, another person came with an invitation, but he didn't go with Xia Xun and the others.

The trails extending in all directions gradually converged into a dark room, which was much quieter than the unprecedented auction in the morning, but Xia Xun and the others knew that the real distinguished guests appeared here tonight.

There is no hierarchy in this auction. It is a simple display stand and circle after circle of positions. Xia Xun's purpose is not to look at the auction items ahead, so they only found a place to sit in an inconspicuous corner.

Not long after they sat down, two more people sat down next to Xia Xun. One of them was bluffing, and was reprimanded by his companion as soon as he said something. This familiar way of getting along attracted Xia Xun to take a few more glances. , Looking at their figures, I guessed a little bit, but I didn't expect to meet them again.

Such a scene is really not suitable for acquaintance, Xia Xun just took a look and then turned his gaze back, looking intently at the stage, waiting for the seats below to be seated in a hurry, the originally dim room brightened a little .

"Everyone, let me introduce the first lot." The auctioneer, who was also wearing a mask, stood quietly on the stage, completely different from Joey's dazzling appearance in the morning. His voice was hoarse and low, and he said nothing. Chu Yi is so varied, and does not mobilize the audience's emotions, but introduces products without ups and downs.

Will this kind of underground auction use fancy means to attract the attention of the guests? Their most advantageous weapon is the next auction item.Those who participated in the underground auction had to have some means in addition to being expensive, otherwise no matter how rich they were, they would not be able to get in.And another feature of this kind of auction is bartering. The Star Alliance coins are worthless in the eyes of these people. If you want to exchange for the treasures in their hands, you have to return them with equivalent things.

After the host finished speaking, all the lights in the room were dimmed, and the guests were a little commotioned by the sudden darkness.Xia Xun also froze for a moment because he was unprepared, Qian Ze, who could see in the dark, quickly grabbed his hand, and tapped his palm with his index finger to express comfort.

Without too many words, a cylindrical platform with a diameter of half a meter rose slowly from the display stand, and a pure black wooden box was placed on the top of the platform. After opening the wooden box, a burst of dazzling light immediately burst out from the opened wooden box, causing the guests underneath to turn their faces away.

This kind of light only lasted for a few seconds and then quickly faded away. Only then did everyone refocus their eyes on the black box on the stage. Inside the box lay an irregular blood spar, which was about the size of the palm of an adult female. As soon as he appeared, the originally calm guests were ready to move.

"This black box must have been recognized by everyone. It is a box made of black gold wood. Although it is one word different from the famous black gold tungsten, it is also very precious, and its biggest function is to seal the energy body. "After he finished speaking, a ray of light shot directly at the blood spar on the display stand.

"But what is more precious is this spar. It is the spar of an S-class beast that is second only to the king class. I don't need to say more about the energy contained in it. You should know it." The host did not elaborate on the auction item. , those present are all people who have seen the world, so they naturally know the value of this spar.

"The owner of this spar is a fanatic of Emperor Andre's first generation, and he hopes that the things he exchanged can also be related to it." Everyone who was about to move hesitated when they heard the words, and most of Emperor Andre's things were kept in the The royal family, even if they have a few collections, they have shown their faces to the world, so it is not suitable to show them out here in a grandiose manner.

"I have a collection here." Xia Xun turned around and saw the person sitting next to him holding up a sign. He was tall and thin, and his voice had been deliberately lowered, but Xia Xun, who knew their identities, could still hear them.

"I have a pocket watch here, called 'Still Time', which is the favorite and often worn by Emperor Andre." His words quickly attracted everyone's attention. There is indeed such a pocket watch in the historical records. People in the Dere Empire are no strangers to this, but if their memory is correct, this pocket watch should have been destroyed in the war long ago.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he explained: "The pocket watch has the unique mark of the Great Emperor. If you doubt it, you can come and check it yourself. This kind of unique mark of the royal family cannot be faked." Everyone's eyes changed again, Andre In the eyes of everyone, the Great Emperor's things are like history, and such unique things really cannot be faked.

Soon a masked waiter appeared beside him, holding a tray, and he naturally put the pocket watch in his hand on the tray, not afraid of the other party's tampering.

The host nodded to the waiter, and the waiter quickly came to his side with the pocket watch. A person who can be the host of this kind of underground auction naturally has good eyesight. Lie, this is indeed the real thing.

"If no other guest comes up with an exchange that satisfies the owner of the spar, then this spar will belong to this guest." After the host finished speaking, no one spoke again, and the spar finally fell into that person's hands. hands.

The following auction items are not what Xia Xun wanted, but they have given him some insight. These auction items are indeed strange, much more novel than those at the Starry Sky Auction.The following lots included cursed gemstones and paintings tens of thousands of years ago, but the most interesting thing was the spar. A box of A-grade spar and five or six king-grade spar all fell into the place next to him. In people's pockets, it seems that they need high-grade spar very much.

After several universes, Xia Xun finally arrived at the most important auction item, "I think everyone has been waiting for a long time, and then I will show you the last auction item, which is also a treasure of the Roco tribe—the light moss." The light moss collected every year in Roko City has long been taken by several top families of the Andre Empire. Now the Roko people still take out the share they desperately left behind. They need to exchange these light mosses for more something of value.

Eighty-nine out of ten of the guests present came for Guangmo, among them there were even a few top family members who already owned Guangmo, and they left a small amount of Guangmo to the Roco tribe because The reason why the stick gives another date is that the big families can only make compromises when they cannot share the benefits equally.

But this does not mean that they have given up on these light mosses. The light mosses they collect every year are only enough to make a few tubes of mental stabilizers. The more such things are, the more talents they can attract and create.

"Please bid." As soon as the host finished speaking, the voice of bidding came from below. Xia Xun heard them read the names of some exchange items that he had never heard before, and his heart became more and more disturbed. At the same time, he couldn't help it. Hold the bottle tightly in your hand.

The bottle is filled with white crystals like fine sand, which are somewhat similar to salt. This is the result of his research during this time. He originally wanted to become another sign of "Baiwei", but he didn't expect to give it up soon. .

"Is there any other customer who wants to make a bid?" His voice was just a routine inquiry. After all, the exchange items just mentioned have covered most of the types. Take it out.

Xia Xun raised the sign and lowered his voice like everyone else.

"I'll change it with this." Xia Xun shook the bottle in his hand. This glass bottle was only one finger high, and it contained half a bottle of granules. Everyone had never seen such a thing before, and they all focused on him. bottle in hand.
