In the coastal capital, in mid-December, in winter, the bell of the core city rang sixteen times.

The bitter wind and snowflakes floated over the city, and the clouds blocked the sunlight. However, the huge city was extremely bright with its own lights alone. The pale mist lingers on the top of the high-rise buildings, but the streets in the city were hot.

In the outer and inner cities, there are hanging colorful lights and curtains, which flutter in the snow and ice, accompanied by the aroma of barbecue and wine. The grand sound of the orchestra performs free performances at the open-air theater, vaguely reaching the cold wind and clouds.

This is part of the customs in the southeastern region of Aion, the year-end carnival, celebrates the coming of the new year and will last for two weeks until the second day of the new year.

In the ancient past, the essence of carnival was that local residents had harvested all their food and planted winter seeds. They did nothing between the first and second heavy snow, used drinking and eating meat to pass the time, and celebrated the end of the year's hard work.

The celebration time gradually evolved into a festival, and now it has become a culture and a means of promotion. All merchants are calling for sale at the end of the year to reduce prices. Many residents who were incited by the festive atmosphere happened to have surplus grain at this time, so they naturally have a little bit of money when spending.

But no matter what, it is a celebration.

And celebrations require enjoyment.

"Don't drink secretly, Seneca, please help me watch out for other children. These little guys want to try everything."

In the outer city, in a carnival venue bought by Chu Yao Ship, the tall white-haired man leaned down and rubbed Luo Ya's despairy face, who was secretly approaching a bottle of fruit wine, until it was deformed. Su Zhou brought Seneka with a wry smile and told the other party: "If it really doesn't work, just ask Ms. Fu Xiao and Master Sui Guang for help, but before this, you must also learn to adapt to this chaotic situation."

"No problem, professor!"

Hearing Su Zhou's instructions and trust, Seneca, who was originally discouraged, became energetic. He responded loudly, and then walked towards the place where the children gathered and played not far away.

Su Zhou smiled and looked at his back.

Seneca's petrified face has been healed most of the time in the past month of the Ashes Fire practice. Now his expression is a little stiff, and everything else is normal.

Except for the first time to steal fruit wine and drunken, all the children are now celebrating the festival in the outer city. Suiguang and Fuxiao are watching these little guys and enjoying this long-lost joyful atmosphere. The city where ordinary people and demonized people are equal.

Since her strength has also increased considerably since dawn, she has also begun to practice the Fire of Embers.

The fairy is a pure energy creature. Even the silver fairy has a talent that is far superior to ordinary people. In addition, her soul has been polished for a long time and is extremely pure. After practicing all the way, her cultivation progress has almost risen like a flying. In the minutes of all the children who have practiced before, Luo Ya was barely caught up with her extraordinary talent with her extraordinary saints.

After coming to the coastal capital and waiting for the year-end auction for more than a month, the name of Xiguang Society gradually became vaguely famous in the circle of professionals.

All of this is attributed to Master Suiguang. Since Su Zhou purchased a complete set of alchemy equipment and mechanical engineering tools for him, he has made many useful small parts, and after Su Zhou, he will also popularize some common sense of alchemy for all children.

As for Sui Guang's craftsmanship, some small pieces he made at will, as well as manual work that he tutored children, such as some source flashlights, food heaters he carried with him, etc., they were all sold quite well, and the quality was also very good because the supervisors were very good.

Seeing this scene, Su Zhou was also quite touched, and then selected several of them from the children, mainly Gasha, to teach them their common martial arts.

Although he is often ridiculed as a second-rate warrior, in fact, Su Zhou's combat experience has returned to nature, and at least he has reached the top level. Moreover, he is using the dragon blood magic power and various strange tactics, which can be said to be super first-class, or even outside the world!

"——Jasha, I'm sure you're the dragon man's bloodline, so you can do it!"

As he said this, Su Zhou breathed out at that time, directly burning the metal human-shaped body as the target into metal steam, causing the golden and red storm to churn in the restraint field, like the turbulent lava sun.

He looked at this scene with a shocked look, and heard that Su Zhou encouraged Jiasha was rarely stunned, but he was still full of confusion.

——No, professor, you are not a dragon, but a devil, right? Why do you squirt dragon breathing?!

Moreover, my bloodline is a sea dragon. Although I can’t practice fire-based source energy, it is really unlikely to spray such dragon breath, right?

He was extremely shocked. Thinking of this, Gasha tactfully put forward his own views to Su Zhou, such as saying that he was still young and lacked talent, etc.

But is the sea dragon such an inconvenient thing? Su Zhou had a bold answer to Gasha's confusion. He demonstrated the unique skill of decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen for Gasha on the spot, and then creating an unusually grand flame storm, which convinced the child, believing that the sea dragon's fire was common sense in the world.

The reason why Su Zhou was so concerned about the orphans was that he was indeed a good person and that his predecessor really loved them, he also wanted people in this world to gain their own strength.

Zhuzhou is a sign of Ge Yi - this is certainly true. The young souls who travel through the world will indeed bring about a grand change as long as they appear.

But what after the change?

Su Zhou firmly believed that he could save this world that had been transformed into twilight and the land on the verge of destruction, but... it was just to pull the world out of trouble.

After a dilemma, what needs to be done is the most difficult "creation".

After leaving by himself, the Aion World needs these children as fire seeds and seeds to grow and become giant trees supporting the world, and then continue to transform the world and make it better.

Inheritance...continued, there is still existence.

Naturally, it is also part of innovation.

"Please come in, Professor Svetre, please come here!"

Thinking of this, Su Zhou had already bid farewell to the Xiguang Society and his group who were having fun and came to the auction house in the core city of the coastal capital.

On the ancient streets of the core city, there were crowds of people. Although the atmosphere of the carnival has weakened a lot here, even the nobles and merchants would visit each other at this time, and they were familiar with each other. There were all kinds of luxury cars and cars emerging one after another. Su Zhou even saw a small mobile airship floating in the air. It was completely a creation of the origin stone technique and extremely rare.

With the receptionist of the auction center respectfully welcomed it, Su Zhou entered the auction center. There were many people here, but each breath was very strong. The fluctuations of the source energy were like the lake surface in a rainstorm. If ordinary people entered the auction center at will, they would probably be suppressed and unconscious by the breath before they could think.

Just a glance, Su Zhou could see the ordinary Shin-Light professionals who were as sparse as cabbage. Even if some people looked a little ordinary and had average strength, the fool knew that it was just a disguise he was used to.

"It seems that I am the only one who is the real Linghui level."

With such a touching voice, the white-haired man who had no one within five meters of his body shook his head slightly and continued to follow the receptionist.

The surface part of the auction house built in the central area of ​​the core city is nothing more than an office space and a reception hall. Its main body is located underground. After hundreds of meters deep into the core city, Su Zhou came to the real gate of this underground auction house with an ancient atmosphere.

At the door, two old men standing here with their true membership of the False family hanging on their chests. They were expressionless, like statues. Even when facing layers of continuous impact of source energy, their standing posture remained unmoving.

More turbulent than the sea, deeper source energy lingers around them, and even condenses into an illusion that is almost physical, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

The strength of these two guards is obviously high-level Heart Light, and even at the peak level. Strong people of this level are guests of honor everywhere. Even in the Imperial Army, they can be a colonel and lead a division. If an ordinary noble family has such a guest official of this level, it is enough to show off to other families.

It can be seen from this that the year-end auction in the Seaside Capital is indeed the highest specification in the world.

"The auction hall has four gates, professors. In order to avoid conflict, the Empire, the Northern Group, the Southeast Noble Union and the Liberals have their own different venues. If you are a liberal, please follow us to your exclusive private room."

After entering the gate, the receptionist changed. Su Zhou knew the other party. It was the secretary who was running errands beside Umas, who was sent by Umas to receive him personally.

And halfway through the box, he was introducing some forces to Su Zhou to pay attention to during this auction: "Look, there is a representative of the Third Imperial Army and the endorsement of the will of the royal family. When the General of the Third Army, Mr. Akharonov, was a soldier, he was on the battlefield with His Majesty, who was just a concubine's son at that time, and the First Knight of the Empire at that time also fought with them."

"First Knight?"

Hearing the vague worship of the secretary, Su Zhou, who knew from the secret spies of the empire, asked curiously: "Is the strongest of the nobles of the imperial military?"

"No, sir, although many people don't admit it, at least we think that the First Knight, Mr. Iloviz, is the strongest man in the empire!"

Hearing Su Zhou's inquiry, the secretary shook his head and retorted as he brought it in: "Mr. Iloviz is not willing to be a noble, nor does he join the army. He just expressed his loyalty to His Majesty and volunteered to be the knight who guarded him. He is the knight who belongs only to His Majesty."

"At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and wanted to grant Mr. Iloviz a duke's city as a fief. Many great nobles opposed it, but His Majesty made all the unwilling nobles willing... but Mr. First Knight was unwilling."

The secretary was obviously a fan of the First Knight, at least a romantic person. Su Zhou smiled and listened to him explaining the adventure of the First Knight and the concubine of Asmode XIII, and General Akharolov, who had almost traveled around the world for several minutes, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little moved: "That's right, no matter what the future of Asmode XIII will be like, at least in the past and now, he still has many people supporting him. His vicious treatment of the infected person may not mean that he is not good to the people around him."

What exactly is he going to do? What is his real purpose?

Why does he seem to be able to control the divine wood, but he has some connection with the Dusk clan?

It was precisely in order to understand this, to understand this, the high chance of destroying the barbarian offensive in the future, to defeat the invasion of the Dusk clan, pacifying the entire continent, and opening up the real idea of ​​the powerful emperor in the new era, that Su Zhou was willing to spend more than a month waiting for this auction, trying to sense the sacred wood core that should be extremely important.

"It's here, Professor Svetre, your private room."

The secretary respectfully brought Su Zhou into it. The private room on the third floor was quite good. It had tea rich in source energy and various rare fruits that were beneficial to practice. There were also incense burning in the house that could make people calm and sober. Just this set would probably cost 10,000 or 20,000 imperial coins.

Sitting in the seat, the transparent glass can be used to project the light curtain or directly observe the underground square used to display auction items on the first floor. The auction venue is already full of visitors, and everyone is probably an extraordinary figure in their territory.

No one dares to perceive each other, everyone is afraid, and they are mentally reserved.

But even so, with its instinctive momentum, it was like a large vortex in the ocean that could swallow islands, and Su Zhou could sense at least four or five professionals of the "Divine Intention Level" throughout the auction hall.

Most of these professions of the Divine Intention Level belong to different blocks, and each is a center of a group.

"There are generous and honest soldiers, representatives of the Imperial military...a group of hooded robes, gray-bottomed silver patterns, diamond-shaped heraldry, and representatives of the Light-Thuling Cult."

Squinted his eyes, Su Zhou's mind appeared in his mind that Master Sui Guang explained to him, as well as the characteristics of major forces: "That flag is the city of wind and frost, and the Yanshuang army in the north has also come? It is indeed full of killing spirit, and it feels quite familiar."

"White robe, stone crown, sun emblem, this is the Holy Day Sect. And so on..."

Seeing the end, Su Zhou suddenly frowned: "Why are the family members in the evening? Isn't that the northern barbarian tribe? Can they also cross half of the continent to buy things in the coastal capital? Are you not afraid of not being able to buy it back?"

"In this auction, basically all the people from all camps gather together. This is the place of neutrality. It's so convenient. No wonder all forces want the coastal capital to exist."

These major forces all have the God-intention level guarding, and are completely different from other forces and singles in terms of specifications and momentum.

"etc."

At this moment, Yara suddenly spoke, and He appeared in Su Zhou's ears, looking at the direction where Yanshuang Army was in a little confused: "Those people... have the breath of my family?"

"oh?"

Hearing this sentence, Su Zhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Yanshuang Army - a group of soldiers carrying flags and wearing armor. He did not see any breath of the Chaos clan: "Is it true? That's obviously a military formation, right?"

"After that being said, Yanshuang Army and the barbarians should be mortal enemies. They have not yet started fighting, so it is really outrageous."

"What's so strange about this? On the other side of your earth, don't you also have the Perfect Family, the Pioneer Family, the Divine Wood Family and the Chaos Family? Have you ever fought in private? Isn't it all happy?"

Yala shook his tail, and He had become very big, nearly two meters long, wrapped around Su Zhou's arm, like a red arm guard.

The snake spirit whispered: "The family aura of these soldiers is very weak, but it is very pure, proving that they have indeed come into contact with my family, and the other party is very strong, so even after a long time, even you cannot sense it and it still remains on them."

"No, it's probably not contact... They just saw that my family and were branded by the other party's breath."

"...It seems that the world is really chaotic."

Su Zhou didn't feel anything. He just sighed, "Chaos are indeed everywhere," and then continued to look at the field.

And just as the man observed the whole audience, the dull and distant bell rang.

The year-end auction began like this.

There was no opening remark or no host hype the atmosphere - with the strength and identity of the group of people on the scene, even the owner of the coastal capital and the current head of the False family were not qualified to do so, so they simply entered the auction directly to ease.

"Start, the first auction item!"
To be continued...
