The auction at the mine went on normally, and there were no disturbances or intentional price increases. Before the auction started, almost everyone who participated already knew who would attend.

There was an auction, and some participants even discussed some of the lots in advance to avoid raising each other's prices.

The participation of the Dodd Group is not surprising. People from the Dodd Group in Beibelant will participate in almost every similar auction, buying the needed mines at reasonable prices, but Sylvia's appearance is

Surprisingly, everyone thought that the person attending was someone from the Dodd Group office. No one expected that it was Sylvia who was present in person.

Although Sylvia was determined to win those mines, she did not do anything too outrageous. After all, the Dodd Group would still need to carry out various transactions here in the future. If she did too much, she would only be punished.

The local office's men added some trouble.

If the arrival of Sylvia and Leo was a surprise for the participants, then the auction organizer's temporary announcement to add the mining rights of fourteen mines to the auction after the auction started was another surprise, which surprised everyone present.

Everyone was caught off guard.

Because the sudden addition of fourteen mining rights was completely outside the participants' plans, those participants who had discussed it earlier did not include these fourteen mining rights in their discussions.

It also directly caused all the previous discussions to be completely invalidated. Perhaps this was the effect that the Northern Tribal Alliance, as the organizer of the auction, wanted to achieve.

Someone immediately proposed to postpone the auction for one day, with the excuse that they did not have sufficient funds prepared. However, this excuse was rejected by the person in charge of the auction. He agreed that the participants would be greatly indebted and would start the auction directly without giving any chance. This was also

As a result, the auction fell into unplanned price increases starting from the first mining rights.

The auction uses tokens issued by the Northern Tribe Alliance itself. The reason why it is a token is because this currency has not been recognized by the entire northern tribes and can only be used in a few cities completely controlled by the northern holy mountains.

In order to promote this currency, the Northern Tribal Alliance had to force those who participated in auctions and other transactions to exchange their resources for equivalent tokens, and then exchange them back when they left.

This move of the Northern Tribal Alliance seems to some people to be a satire on the outside civilized society, because the currency system of the outside civilized world is beginning to collapse, and while people are practicing the most primitive barter, the wilderness tribes are

Efforts to build our own currency system give people the illusion that civilization is shifting.

The currency promotion behavior of the Northern Tribal Alliance and the sudden move of the auction also caught Sylvia off guard, because several of the fourteen extra mining rights were mines that she had used in the past.

The mines she was looking at were all high-quality mines that the Dodd Group needed, but now they suddenly appeared all at once, and the funds she could mobilize were not enough for her to win these mines, especially after she went to the Southern Tribal Alliance to negotiate.

After the weapons-for-food deal was concluded, there would be even less additional funds that could be used. If they were used forcefully, it might affect the normal operations of the Dodd Group.

After hearing Sylvia's problem, Leo on the side immediately waved to the attendant arranged by the auction house not far away, motioning for him to come over, and then asked the attendant to call the person in charge of the auction house.

Not long after, the director of the auction house came to Sylvia and Leo. After saluting the two, he asked Leo: "Excuse me, what can I do? Mr. Leo."

"You should know my identity, right?" Leo asked an incomprehensible question.

"Of course, the last tower wizard." The auction manager said truthfully: "Anyone who pays attention to Ms. Sylvia cannot ignore you."

"You should know about the potion I made, right?" Leo asked again.

Hearing what Leo said, the auction manager's eyes immediately lit up, and he seemed to realize something, and said quickly: "Of course I know that the effect of your wizard's potion may only be matched by the potion made by the great shaman of the Holy Mountain.

Comparable."

"Are you kidding me about the potion made by the great shaman of the Holy Mountain?" Sylvia smiled disdainfully and questioned.

Faced with the doubt, the director of the auction house did not refute, but just showed an embarrassed but decent smile.

He knows very well that the potions made by the so-called Great Shaman of the Holy Mountain cannot be compared with the wizard potions made by Leo. Now only Sylvia still holds a certain amount of wizard potions in the outside world, and these wizard potions are all taken by Sylvia.

It is given as a gift to others, and for people living in this turbulent era, owning a bottle of wizard potion made by Leo is equivalent to having an extra life, so the underground world has always been flocking to the wizard potion made by Leo.

.

It’s not like no one has thought about imitating Leo’s wizard potion. Shamanism and the True God Church have all done this. Although they all inspired some inspiration from the wizard potion and created their own potion, in terms of efficacy, let alone

Compared with the wizard's potion that Leo later made, it was even inferior to the wizard's potion that Leo sold on the black market in the Kingdom of England in the earliest days.

"There are five groups of potions here, and their functions are..." Leo took out some wizard potions with different functions that he had made not long ago from the storage space, introduced the functions of the potions one by one, and then asked:

"How much can these potions be mortgaged for?"

The director of the auction house didn't even think about it, and directly reported the maximum amount of funds that he and other directors could provide. He knew very well that if he couldn't get these five groups of potions now, he would wait for him to leave and

When the others come back after discussing it, I'm afraid these sets of wizard potions will already have new owners.

After hearing the offer, Leo looked at Sylvia, waiting for her to make a judgment.

Sylvia also quickly estimated the value of the potion in her mind. She knew very well that the price offered by the auction manager was definitely high, but it was not too high, and the funds could just supplement her purchase of the mining rights.

I needed it, so I nodded my head to express my approval of the deal.

After seeing Sylvia nodding, Leo did not ask the supervisor to issue any documents such as certificates, and handed the things to the other person, and then returned to a state of silence.

Many people around saw Leo taking out the potion. Although they did not hear the conversation between Leo and the auction house manager, they all guessed what Leo was doing.

Although they also coveted Leo's wizard potion, they did not step in to grab things from the Northern Tribe Alliance. Firstly, the price they offered may not be higher than the price offered by the Northern Tribal Alliance. Secondly, even if they robbed it,

If you get it, I'm afraid it will offend the Northern Tribal Alliance, which will be more of a loss than a gain.

With the support of sufficient funds, Sylvia quickly won three of the fourteen mines that he valued. However, an accident occurred in the fourth mine, and the price was slightly higher than she expected. In the end,

When she hesitated to raise the price, someone else bought it.

However, fortunately, there were no other accidents in the subsequent normal auctions of the mining rights of the mines. After one auction, the Dodd Group represented by Sylvia obtained the mining rights of six mines in total, including the mining rights.

The shortest was only four months, while the longest was as long as five years.

After the official auction ended, everyone left one after another. Several of the auction participants gathered next to Sylvia and Leo when they left, wanting to see if they could buy wizard potions from Leo.

But before they could speak, Sylvia rejected them. Sylvia knew very well the value of the wizard potions that Leo had on hand. If she hadn't really needed a sum of money just now, she would never have agreed.

Leo used the wizard's potion in exchange for tokens from the Northern Tribe Alliance, even if the price was high.

After rejecting those people, the two left the auction house in a carriage and drove towards the Dodd Group's residence in Beiberant.

On the way, Leo suddenly asked Sylvia: "Are you interested in going to Green Manor again in the evening?"

"Why?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion and asked, "Did that guy just hint that you would have an auction tonight?"

"Of course not." Leo shook his head and said, "I feel that there is something in the Green Manor, something that the shaman in the northern holy mountain has not discovered."

Sylvia was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly thought of the past owner of Greenland Manor, and guessed: "Is it something belonging to the evil god?"

Leo hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "It's possible that the location is in the auction house just now. According to rumors, that's where the Kanter family performed the evil god's blood sacrifice ceremony. Since the thing appears there, then

It will more or less have something to do with the evil god."

Sylvia pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Didn't the Kanter family take away the things back then? I remember that although the Kanter family fled suddenly, they were well prepared and various assets were transferred in advance. If there

If there really are any magical creatures, they should take them with them when they leave."

Leo speculated: "Maybe no one in the Kanter family knew that there was a mysterious creature buried in their manor at that time."

"It is possible. Several of the patriarchs of the Kanter family were suddenly assassinated. It is also possible that some secrets were not passed down." Sylvia nodded slightly in agreement, and then asked

: "What on earth is that thing? Did you find out just now?"

Leo shook his head and said: "That thing has a self-hiding barrier. This barrier can imitate the surrounding energy fluctuations. If I hadn't touched some abnormal energy waves when I took out the potion, it would interact with the surrounding energy.

If the fluctuations appear uncoordinated, maybe I won’t be able to discover that there is such a thing hidden underground.”

When he said this, Leo couldn't help but think of the process of discovering the mysterious item just now. After discovering the item, his attention completely shifted from the auction to the item, and he tried various methods.

A way to sense or stimulate that thing.

Although his rationality can confirm that the thing does exist, no matter whether it is his extraordinary perception or mental network and other abilities, he can never find the thing. This mismatch between perception and cognition makes him both interesting and curious.

I am extremely curious about this mysterious thing.

It was already evening when she returned to the Dodd Group's office. Sylvia dealt with the mining rights of several mines obtained at the auction and ordered the people in the office to recruit enough manpower for mining as soon as possible.

For the problem of shortage of manpower, it is very simple to go directly to Henry Jones. There is a quota for the first batch of 100,000 people. It is not a big deal to drag people to be a round of miners first.

Leo was not idle. He took out the book he got from Carson Sangers and studied it again. Just like the mysterious thing he discovered earlier, he was also curious about the content of this book.

Time soon entered midnight. After Sylvia sent the last processed document to Su through the universal recorder, she and Leo ate some simple food together, and then talked with everyone in front of everyone.

Leo went back to his room to rest.

However, after returning to the room, Leo used a rune trap to create a small illusion in the room where the two of them were resting, and then he and Sylvia jumped out of another window in the room and bypassed the room.

The guards came to the street.

Although it has entered late at night, the streets of Beberant are still very lively, and many taverns are still open. The caravans, mercenaries, and adventurers coming and going here are drunk and dreaming in the taverns.

Drunk people can be seen lying in a corner everywhere on the street. Patrol teams going to and from the city streets will throw these people one by one into the trailers in the team and drag them together to a temporary resting place in the city to wait for the next day's drinking.

It has become routine for them to impose a uniform fine on them after waking up, and these fines are also part of their salary.

Under the influence of Leo's illusion witchcraft, no one around them saw Leo and Sylvia. However, when they approached the two of them, they would choose to avoid them due to the influence of an invisible force, but they

They did not feel anything strange about their avoidance behavior, as if they felt that their avoidance behavior was a natural behavior.

In this way, Leo and Sylvia arrived outside the Green Manor without any hindrance. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the auction during the day, the Green Manor seemed particularly deserted late at night. Except for the main building, there were many warriors from the Northern Tribe Alliance walking back and forth.

Apart from patrols, there were no people in other parts of the manor, and the special underground auction house was a place they avoided. Obviously those skeletons still made them feel uncomfortable, even though the Holy Mountain Shaman had stated that there was no evil force here.
