Chapter 62: Confrontation(1/3)
In the auction venue, Su Xiao suddenly raised a price, which obviously disrupted the arrangement of the spell casters.
It's not that the casters made any omissions or didn't think of this, but it's really unavoidable.
Although the items in this auction come from multiple forces, the auction will be held in Liguang Manor. As the territory of the spellcasters, they naturally have the final say on how to arrange the auction process.
Even so, they couldn't find Su Xiao, who was disguised as the Holy Flame Medicine Master, and tell Su Xiao not to take the last item, because it was a mysterious thing from the abyss.
Among the casters, there are only a few people who know about this matter. Even if they are trying to win over Su Xiao, they will not tell Su Xiao such a shameful secret.
As for not letting Su Xiao come to participate in this auction, this is even more impossible. This is simply aimed at. The subsequent relationship between the two parties, not to mention falling out, has to be frozen. The investment made by Arcane Eternal Star in the early stage to win over Su Xiao,
It's like giving it for free.
Coupled with the convening of the Austrian Law Celebration, the arrangement of this matter inevitably seemed a bit hasty, which is why such a flaw was left.
Before the auction started, Sefilia, Dean Guya, Master Soul, and Howling King discussed it. Howling King's idea was to throw the "Book of the Dead" into the abyss passage. Since it came from
Abyss, then let it return to the abyss.
Sefilia, Dean Guya, and Master Soul unanimously objected. There were too many variables in throwing the "Book of the Dead" into the abyss passage. It would be safer to sell this thing to a "destined person".
On the stage at the auction venue, although the Yu Clan auctioneer looked calm, he was actually sweating down his spine. Of course, he was also one of the participants in this plan, or in other words, this was a game set up by the top brass of Arcane Eternal Star.
Inviting Wood as the auctioneer tonight is digging a hole in itself. You must know that in the battle for the world of paintings, Arcane Eternal Star sent female spellcasters Luo Xi and Yanqi Soyeg as representatives. Not only that
Among them, the female spell caster Luo Xi also brought the [Insight Eye] notarized by the Void Tree to broadcast the scene of the battle for the painted world to the "Mowu Arena" in the void in real time.
At that time, many viewers of the void race witnessed part of the battle for the world of painting through the images transmitted back by the female spellcaster Luo Xi with the [Insight Eye].
However, [Insight Eye] subsequently arrived at the Apocalypse Sisters and staged a series of 'live broadcast' escapes.
These are not the point. The point is that Arcane Eternal Star learned that Wood and Su Xiao had cooperated through part of the [Insight Eye].
Under such circumstances, the spellcasters definitely had bad intentions when they invited Wood to be the special auctioneer for this auction.
Who is Wood? Would he not have thought of this? The answer is that Wood has thought of it. To be precise, the Arcane Eternal Star who invited him had ulterior motives, and he who accepted the invitation actually had no good intentions either.
The arrangement of the casters was that when Wood served as the auctioneer, the last item sold was actually a "dad-level" artifact.
Buyers who buy the "Necronomicon" will definitely immediately think of Wood from the Devil Clan, who is related to this matter. The name of the Devil Clan's "Void Foster" is still very resounding.
In order to prevent Wood from not bidding on the "Book of the Dead", the casters also specially arranged for two auctioneers, and asked the feather tribe auctioneer to replace Wood for a while during the auction, so as to avoid appearing now and appearing
Abrupt.
Regarding the unknown variables in this plan, the four leaders of the Holy Flame Alchemist and the Arcane Eternal Star actually had a brief confidential discussion.
In Sefilia's view, the Holy Flame Apothecary is unlikely to bid for the "Necronomicon". First of all, as a top alchemist, the Holy Flame Apothecary must be well-informed. After seeing the "Necronomicon" play, even if
Because it is frozen by "cold ice", it is difficult to sense the mysterious fluctuations, but you can still faintly notice that something is wrong with this thing.
This view is unanimously agreed by Lord Soul and Dean Gu Ya. The knowledge of the top pharmacist is really not worthy of doubt.
Howling King put forward a different point of view. In his opinion, what if the Holy Flame Medicine Master suddenly feels that the "Book of the Dead" is good and participates in the bidding?
The answer given by Sefilia was to go to the seat next to the Holy Flame Medicine Master and ask him not to bid for this item again. She said that the specific reasons would be explained later. After hearing that this was a direct and effective, but simple and crude solution, Lin
The Feng King was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
The method is a bit direct, but considering many aspects, this solution strategy is indeed feasible, and the probability that the Holy Flame Apothecary chooses to bid for the "Necronomicon" is very low.
Unexpectedly, this small probability event finally happened, or in other words, this was not a small probability event at all, it was something that was bound to happen.
The reason why the casters don't want to see Su Xiao take the "Necronomicon" is because once this happens, it means that Su Xiao and the "Necronomicon" have established a cause and effect. In this situation, arcane magic is eternal.
Will Xing continue to win over the Holy Flame Medicine Master, or will he give up?
If you continue to win over each other, it will be equivalent to having a causal connection with the "Necronomicon" again. When the time comes, between the Arcane Eternal Star and the Holy Flame Apothecary, the "Necronomicon" will definitely choose the former. The resource stocks of both parties are not the same.
level.
And giving up on wooing the Holy Flame Alchemist who took the "Book of the Dead" was also a huge loss for Arcane Eternal Star. First, it missed a top pharmacist, and secondly, all the previous investment in wooing the Holy Flame Alchemist was in vain.
"9000."
Su Xiao bid again, which made an Aowu tribe member who bid against him choose to give up.
As the last item on the auction block, the "Necronomicon" was introduced as an unknown ancient book, so not many people were interested in it, and no one present was willing to compete with the Holy Flame Medicine Master.
"Mr. Shengyan's bid is 9,000 soul coins. Is there any higher bid?"
The Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage vividly talked about the false origin of the "Necronomicon". From what he said, although the function of this ancient book is unknown, it has great origins.
In fact, the Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage was confused. He was very sure that this thing could not be auctioned to the Holy Flame Medicine Master, but at this point, he couldn't keep the hammer down.
Su Xiao gained a lot from this visit to the Arcane Eternal Star. One of the gains was that he discovered that the Feather Clan and the Arcane Eternal Star seemed to be hostile at times, but in fact they were working together.
In the past, the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan secretly united. It seemed that conflicts broke out between the two sides, and even war broke out. In fact, the old immortals of both sides had colluded to avoid being targeted by the Arcane Eternal Star in this mutually hostile way.
.
After all, the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan have been too active in recent years, so they will inevitably be feared by the Arcane Eternal Star. Instead of being suppressed by the Arcane Eternal Star, it is better to pretend to have conflicts with each other.
The result was that the more they beat the Demons, the more they felt something was wrong. They agreed to hold back their strength, but after gathering their strength, the Yus first took a running start, then jumped up and gave the Demons a big hammer.
At that time, the demon clan was stunned and asked angrily: 'Are you serious?'
The result was that the Yu Clan said they were sorry, but actually hammered them even harder, and even took over a lot of territory from the Demon Clan. This was not an act, this was clearly serious.
As a result, the two sides fought more and more fiercely, and at the height of the intensity, the demons saw the figure of the spell caster on the battlefield.
At this point, the Demon Clan naturally thought about what was going on. They were played by the Yu Clan. The Yu Clan united with the Arcane Eternal Star. After both sides captured a piece of the Demon Clan's territory, they divided it into half and showed that the Demon Clan dared to
When we fight back, the Arcane Eternal Star + Feather Tribe will attack the Demon Tribe together.
More importantly, the demons felt that this matter was too embarrassing and chose to swallow this bitter pill.
So at this moment, there was a famous Yu Clan auctioneer standing on the stage. Su Xiao might have been surprised before, but this time he came to Arcane Eternal Star and learned the details, he was no longer surprised.
Why didn't the Demon Clan ever mention this matter to him? Considering the warlike and face-saving character of the Demon Clan, it was really abnormal for him to take the initiative to mention this matter.
After learning that the Yu Clan and the Arcane Eternal Star secretly joined forces, Su Xiao was able to arrange for the Yu Clan this time, so naturally he would not be lenient. For example, he chose the Yu Clan genius Yu Li as the starting point for the plan.
"9200."
A strong man from the Reverse Tooth Clan raised his placard to bid. Seeing this, the Yu Clan auctioneer immediately raised his hand and asked: "9200 soul coins, is there anything higher?"
That's what the Yu Clan auctioneer said. In fact, as he spoke, he had already raised the auction hammer and was about to hit it with one hammer.
"9300."
As soon as Su Xiao said this, the Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage almost dodged his waist and quickly stopped with the hammer halfway down. If he hit it with one hammer and sold the "Necronomicon" to the Holy Flame Medicine Master, he would definitely be
There is no good fruit to eat without him.
As soon as Su Xiao made the bid, he found that Sefilia was sitting next to her and whispered: "Holy Flame, that ancient book is not worth 9,300 soul coins no matter how you look at it."
"Maybe."
As Su Xiao spoke, he was about to bid again. The strong man from the Reverse Tooth Tribe had already bid 9,400 soul coins.
"Then you still shoot?"
Sefilia looked sideways at Su Xiao, beginning to doubt Su Xiao's intentions.
"The wooden box it's in is definitely worth the price."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Sefilia was stunned for a moment, and then she had nothing to say. As the maker of the wooden box, she certainly knew the value of the box better than anyone else. Let alone 9,400 soul coins.
From the outside world, even 94,000 soul coins cannot buy that wooden box.
"Tell me if you like it, and I'll give you one."
Sefilia spoke in a low voice, which made Su Xiao pause in raising the number plate and said in a low voice:
"I want a bigger one, that one looks a bit small."
"good."
"make a deal."
Su Xiao put the number plate on the table, and in the end, the strong man from the Reverse Tooth Clan bought the "Book of the Dead" for 9,400 soul coins.
As the auction ended and the guests left one after another, Su Xiao went to the backcourt to pay the soul coins, got the three items she had bid on, and left the auction venue with Beni.
Just after leaving the corridor of the venue, Su Xiao met a female spell caster wearing a black robe, a hood, and white bandages all over her body. The female spell caster said in a somewhat crisp and hoarse voice:
"Mr. Shengyan, my mentor is waiting for you at the winery."
"lead the way."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the female spell caster on the side snapped her fingers.
When the space fluctuations stabilized, Su Xiao was already in the restaurant on the second floor of the winery's castle. He looked around and took a seat. Opposite him was Sefilia, who was enjoying dinner.
"Holy Flame, do you know what that is?"
Sefilia put down the tableware, held up the crystal cup, and sipped it lightly. She asked directly about the "Necronomicon" as soon as she opened her mouth, obviously showing an attitude of doubting Su Xiao.
"That's something from the abyss."
Su Xiao did not hide anything. The calmer he acted at this time, the less likely he would be suspected.
"Then you still dare to bid?"
